It has been three months since Natsu claimed Lucy as his mate. Right now, Natsu and Lucy were in the guild, enjoying their rarely day off. Lucy had moved into Natsu's house since two months ago and their relationship was going steady and passionate. Especially at nights.
Natsu was brawling with Gray and probably some other guys while Lucy was sitting at the bar, accompanying Mirajane. Though the satan soul takeover mage seemed so depressed somehow.
"What's wrong, Mira? You look depressed."
Mirajane Strauss sighed then looked at the person who asked her. Lucy Heartfilia.
"Well... You see, I found this on the master's desk."
Lucy looked at a white envelope which Mirajane held. "What is that?"
"A letter to master," Mirajane said. "but I don't like what was inside."
Lucy looked confusedly. "Why?"
"Have you heard the assault that happened in the city of Asteria? (I made that up)" Mirajane asked.
"Yeah. But I know nothing, I mean it's kinda a blurry news." Lucy said.
"Well, there was an assault happened. It was a massive assault." Miarjane said.
"Assault towards what? As fas as I knew, city of Asteria was filled with priest, priestesses and such." Lucy said.
"That exactly it, Lucy," Mirajane sighed. "there were lots of pure people resides within the city."
Lucy nodded. "So what that's gotta do with our master?"
"Lucy, ten wizard saints are considered as pure people too." Mirajane said.
Lucy blinked twice. Then she gasped. "Are you saying..."
"There's a high possibility there will be an assault too towards them." Mirajane said weakly.
"Well Mira, don't look so down like that." Lucy tried to comfort.
"I'm worried, Lucy," Mirajane said sadly. "I'm scared something bad will happen."
Lucy thought for awhile. "Shall we go to the city to see the damage? Probably we can get something."
Mirajane put her index finger on her chin. "Well, it's not a bad idea."
"I'll accompany you." Lucy smiled.
Mirajane smiled. "Do you think Natsu would let you accompany me?"
Lucy blushed a little. "I think it's fine."
Just when Lucy said that, she was hugged from behind. Two arms were wrapping her waist and the back of her head was kissed. By no one else except her boyfriend. Natsu.
"What are you two talking about?" Natsu asked and put his chin on top of Lucy's head.
Mirajane chuckled. "Why are you not fighting with Gray?"
"I missed Lucy." Natsu answered.
"How sweet is that!" Mirajane said happily.
"Stop teasing, Mira." Lucy said. She blushed.
"So, what are you two talking about?" Natsu repeated.
"It's nothing. Girl's stuff." Mirajane said. "By the way Natsu, I would like to take Lucy somewhere."
"Where?" Natsu asked.
Mirajane smiled. "To the city of Asteria."
"Why would you go there?" Natsu asked.
"There's something we need to do." Lucy answered.
Natsu lifts his head and turned Lucy so she faced him. "What kind of thing?"
Lucy smiled. "Something safe. We're just gonna look for information."
Natsu smiled too. He cuffed Lucy's face and kissed her forehead. "Be careful, okay?"
Lucy nodded. "Yeah, I will."
Natsu hugged Lucy and she hugged him back.
"I love you so much, Lucy."
"Yeah, me too."
Natsu kissed Lucy's forehead one more time before he spoke to Mirajane. "Please take care of her."
Mirajane nodded. "I will."
"You both are so sweet." Mirajane said dreamily when she and Lucy went out from the guild and walking toward the train station. Lucy blushed.
"I knew from the start that you both are such a wonderful couple." Mirajane added.
Lucy said nothing but she blushed heavily.
"I guess it's true." Mirajane said.
"Hm?"
"That dragon slayers' love are eternal. Once they claimed their mates, they are bound together. It's so romantic!"
Lucy laughed. "Well, Levy-chan told me that there is no one that could love someone else as loyal and strong as dragon slayers."
"I wish a dragon slayer also love me." Mirajane hoped.
Lucy nudged Mirajane's waist with her elbow. "I think you found one already."
"Huh?"
"Come on Mira, you both are so close these days!" Lucy teased.
Instantly, Mirajane blushed. "It's nothing like that! We're just friends!"
"Oh? So you know who I'm talking about." Lucy teased again.
"Lucy!"
Lucy laughed. "But I'm sure you both will make a perfect match."
Mirajane blushed.
"He cared a lot about you." Lucy continued.
"Do you really think he might uhmm... love me?" Mirajane asked shyly.
"Of course, Mira!" Lucy answered happily. "Laxus is not as dense as Natsu."
Upon hearing the lightning dragon slayer's name, Mirajane blushed.
"I know his time to claim is drawing near." Lucy added.
Mirajane blushed again. "Does it hurt, Lucy? When... uhmm... you were claimed?"
Lucy shook her head. "Well, a bit hurt when Natsu bit me, but that's it."
"He bit you? Like Gajeel bit Levy's shoulder?" Mirajane asked.
Lucy nodded.
"Why should they bite?" Mirajane complained.
Lucy laughed.
Lucy and Mirajane got down from the train. From all of the people who rode the same train as them, only both of them got down at the city of Asteria. The station looked abandoned too and nobody was there.
"I smelled blood." Lucy said softly. Being Natsu's mate made her also had excellent sense of smell, although still not as sharp as Natsu's.
"I sensed dark aura, too." Mirajane added.
"I'm pretty sure the assault was done by some dark guild." Lucy concluded.
"Let's take a stroll. Maybe we can get more." Mirajane suggested.
The two girls walked out from the station. The city was completely destroyed. All of the buildings were down to earth, ruins were everywhere. The more they walked the more bad sights they saw. Corpses were everywhere.
"This is horrible." Mirajane said.
"Why would they destroyed this city?" Lucy wondered.
Mirajane and Lucy walked further. That was when Lucy saw something.
"Mira, is that a church?" Lucy asked while pointing.
Mirajane followed Lucy's pointing. She could see a white tall building with two towers at the side. Well, the towers were destroyed though. The building was the only building that wasn't badly destroyed as the others.
"I think so. Shall we go and see?"
They nodded and started to walk. The closer they were to the church, the lesser amounts of the corpses.
"Why did this building seem safe?" Mirajane wondered.
"Let's go and see." Lucy said and opened the door.
The inside of the church looked really empty. The chairs were okay, as if destroying the tower didn't give any effect at all. The two girls entered the church.
"Lucy, look." Mirajane pointed at a door behind the chapel. It was exploded open.
Lucy and Mirajane exchanged glances, then walked inside into the open door. The inside was pitch black. Lucy touched her keys, concentrated a little, then her keys were shining, emitting dim light, which was enough for them to see the surroundings. Stone wall was all around them.
There were nothing in the room, except a white coffin laid at the very end. The girls walked closer. The lid was mad from glass, and when the girls peeked, the inside was empty.
"Why is this coffin here?" Mirajane asked.
"Look, Mira, I think there was some kind of grail or something inside here."
"Clever."
Lucy and Mirajane gasped then turned their bodies. There were two guys standing behind them. One of them was tall and the other one was fat. Both of them were wearing black cloaks. Lucy and Mirajane went into their fighting stances.
"Who are you?" Mirajane demanded.
The tall guy stepped closer. He had pitch black eyes and straight long hair. He smirked. "We are from Cerberus Guild. I'm Dionysus and he's Ares. We worked for Tartaros."
"One of the Ballam Alliance?" Lucy asked.
"Yes. We, the Cerberus Guild is on a very important mission." The fat guy whose name was Ares replied. He wore a white hat, and his eyes were also pitch black.
"Is your guild the reason for the assault to this city?" Mirajane asked.
Dionysus laughed. "Aren't you one clever mage."
"What was inside the coffin?" Lucy asked.
"Holy Grail." Ares answered.
"What is that?" asked Mirajane.
"A grail which used for... an important ceremony." Dionysus replied.
Ares glanced at Lucy's right hand that was holding a golden key. His eyes glittered. "I know that crest," he huffed. "you both are from Fairy Tail."
"Oh, the winner of the Grand Magic Games!" Dionysus clapped.
"And you, young lady," Ares pointed Lucy. "is a celestial spirit mage. With ten zodiac keys."
Both Lucy and Mirajane gasped.
"Well, save us the trouble then." Dionysus snorted.
"We'll take you both to our base," Ares said. "I really hate fighting girls, so please be obedient and come with us."
"And if we say no?" Mirajane asked bravily.
"Then we have to use force." Dionysus said.
"Bring it on." The two girls challenged.
