WARNING: MAJOR TROLLING AHEAD NYAHAHAHAHAHAHA


"What if they've left him behind to go cuddle or something?" Macao stressed as he rubbed his temples while Wakaba laughed at him.

"You really think our Bisca and Alzack would leave Romeo?" Max snorted. "Those two are so nervous around each other they can't even have a normal conversation. I'd say your only worry is that poor child dying of awkwardness." This erupted laughter from the whole guild.

Macao continued his protests, every the overprotective father. Although none of them could really blame him, not with what had happened.

In the boisterous soundings of their laughter masked the loud bang of the guild doors being thrown open. Teebo stepped in with a few of his friends, smirking and scowling. "Hey Fairy Scum!" He called. "We're here for da monay!" His friends called obscenities and shouted profanities of the same nature and they all laughed. Macao stood and strode behind the bar counter, fetching a large envelope filled with Jewels.

With as much dignity, pride, and decorum as he could muster, Macao proceeded to hand the envelope over and waited patiently as he rifled through it. When the man was finished, he looked up and snarled. "You're 10,00 short, Fairy Asses." He sneered. "Where's our monay?"

"There weren't any good job's this week," Macao calmly explained. "You'll get the left over next week. That's all we could manage."

Teebo snorted and his posse followed suit. "I don't think Master will like this very much," He snarled. "This is, what? The third time you guy's have come up short!? Boys, show 'em what'll happen if this continues." With a laugh and a snarl his friends set upon the guild, ransacking the place.

Every member of Fairy Tail hissed and tensed, just itching to fight these guys. But they held themselves back as Macao held out a hand. "Don't do anything." He said loudly. "Don't do a thing."

This continued until there was very little left to destroy.

"Oi! You're in my way!" A voice called from behind Teebo. "Move your fat ass so I can get into my guild, now that I've finally found it."

This struck a chord in the man and he turned and snarled. "OH? Another little Fairy Shit? You want me to move, hm? How about you move me?" He laughed. "Stupid Fairies, weak little shi-" He didn't get to finish his statement as he was instantaneously thrown across the room, smashing into the far wall and finally falling to the floor, knocked unconscious.

Now that the man was gone they were given clear vision of the tanned and toned blonde as she lowered her raised foot, probably from kicking him across the room.

"I told you to move. Did you listen? No." She snorted and smiled. "And there you go ruining my 'I'm home' surprise." She turned to the now frozen men who stood poised mid-smash. "You guys hurt my family, hm?" Her hands were suddenly wrapped in dark magic. Dark bladed twin katanas appeared in her hands. "Devil's Distress, Devil's Demise; Evil raising, darkness rise; Light is gone and none is found; Take my rival down, down, down." Darkened magic swirled around her katana blades as she braced for an attack.

The men ran away.

"Damnit," She said. "Right when it was getting good." The swords disappeared and she turned towards the dumbstruck guild. "I'm home, guys." She said, her voice smooth with an accent they didn't recognise. Her stifling clothes had been replaced with a white tube top with a black rhinestone wing design on her right breast. She wore a knee-length, white prairie skirt that swirled around her legs and her keys and whip were fastened onto a black belt that slanted over her hip. Her hair was tied in a side style with a spiral of midnight black feathers in stead of her usual ribbon while the whole style was finished off by a pair of black ballet slippers whose ribbons laced up her shin.

Her scarf, necklace, and gauntlet remained in place.

"You guys miss me?" She asked, smiling widely. Everyone rushed at her and she opened her arms wide, welcoming them to her. Kinana drew back from the huddle first and fired off questions. "What kind of magic was that, Lucy? Did you make a contract with Draco?"

Lucy laughed and nodded as the younger girl continued this. "Alright, Alright." She lamented. "The magic doesn't have an official title, but the natives of Sugara Village called it Hynojademaki. THis loosely translates to Balance. The magic utilizes powers from both damnation and salvation, equally divine and demonic, two sides of the same coin. A main feature of the magic is blade combinations. Katanas, daggers, long-swords, anything really."

"So like requip?" Warren volunteered. Lucy shook her head. "Not really. The weapons are literally made of my magic. See?" Holding out her hand, she summoned a golden dagger. "This is basically what the angelic aspect of my magic looks like." Twirling the dagger between her fingers she launched it at the nearest wall with a light flick of her wrist. The dagger sunk in hilt-deep, a good six inches, before vanishing.

Another, dark bladed one appeared in her hand as she absent-mindedly twirled it between her fingers. "Now," She said seriously. "I want to know everything that happened while I was gone."


And with that... A year has passed without the Tenrou Team. They had drawn strength from each other, holding one another up whilst the changing time continued to drag them down emotionally and physically. Their members continued to drop, eventually stalling at the most loyal of the members. Max, Warren, Nab, Bisca, Alzack, Romeo, Macao, Wakaba, Laki, Kinana, and Lucy soon became the only ones left. But they didn't mind.


Nyahahahaha. Anyway, Chapter 344, am I the only one who thinks turned child Erza was adorable? I wonder if that'll happen to everyone? Child Natsu and Child Lucy and Child Gray would be soooooo adorable! But what about Wendy? How far down would she age?
