A/N Thank you for all the reviews from everyone. They are really encouraging and I'm glad you are enjoying the story so far, especially as it is my first fanfic :)


Natsu P.O.V

I challenged Lucy to a dual and she accepted? She has definitely changed. I need to find out how this has happened overnight. Even if she has gotten more powerful, I bet she still cant beat me.

I saw Lisanna and smirked at her. She smiled back at me and I know she was cheering me on. I saw Lucy smile sweetly at Laxus and that kind of annoyed me. She also nodded, but I don't get how they know what the other is communicating as they are not talking. I guess i'll find out later. It may have something to do with them being mates.

Oh well, first I need to concentrate on winning this dual.

Lisanna P.O.V

I cant believe that Lucy has changed so much over one night. Something is not right. If she became powerful, Team Natsu may want her back. I cant have that. It could mean that I lose them again.

Even though, she probably isn't strong enough to beat Natsu and Natsu wont want her know shes with Laxus which I don't get how that happened. I will be cheering Natsu on and I know he will win for me.

Master P.O.V

I am so happy Lucy and Laxus are mates. And i cannot believe how strong Lucy has got. I could sense her magic power from my office. Laxus has also appeared to get stronger. After they told us about Layla and Lucy's power, I couldn't believe it. I knew Lucy was special, but to be an Elemental and Celestial Slayer, she could be the most powerful wizard in the guild, even more powerful than Gildarts.

Natsu has gotten himself in big trouble by challenging Lucy. I will have to put up some very strong barriers around the training grounds to protect everyone. Thank Mavis that the training ground repairs itself so hopefully there shouldn't be any damage to anything but Natsu. Seriously, does that boy ever learn not to rush into things and think with his fists?

As Natsu and Lucy took their stances, I put up a barrier and explained the rules.

"The dual will last until either one of you surrenders or becomes unconscious. There is to be no death and Lucy, please don't unleash your full power because I don't think the barrier will be able to withstand it."

"Ok Master, will half my power be Ok maximum as I may not need that much."

"That should be fine child. And you can call me Gramps now, especially now you are Laxus' mate. Get ready to dual. GO!"

Natsu P.O.V

I cant believe that Gramps told Lucy not to use her full power, and that she thinks she can take me with less than half her power. She cant be that strong surely, or she would have shown us before. I got ready and as soon as Gramps shouted go I launched a Fire Dragons Roar at Lucy. What I didn't expect was for her to just stand there and wait for it to hit her. What was even more shocking was that she swallowed it.

"H-how is that possible. What type of Slayer are you". I couldn't believe her answer.

"Now you ask Natsu. Maybe you wouldn't have been so foolish as to challenge me to a dual if you asked that question first. i swear you only think with your fists. I am the Elemental and Celestial Slayer. Therefore, I am the only Slayer that can become dragon queen if I so wish. Now lets get back to this dual. I'm bored of you now and want to go home. Celestial Dragons Roar". I was knocked unconscious nearly instantly. Before I was completely blacked out, my last though was how and when did Lucy get so powerful.

Lucy P.O.V

I can't believe it only took one Celestial roar to knock Natsu out. That didn't even contain a quarter of my power in it. I bet Team Natsu will ask me to rejoin, but my answer will be no. I am with the Thunder Legion from now on. i feel a little bad for totally humiliating Natsu, but he deserved it after what he put me through. I dragged him to Erza, Grey and Lisanna and told them to take him to the infirmary. Wendy came up to me and she looked devastated.

"Wendy sweetie whats wrong?"

"I never wanted you to leave the team. You are my big sister and I never wanted to hurt you. I only found out today that they kicked you off. I'm so soory. I've left team Natsu now and I wont heal him. Please can I stay on a team with you."

I never seen Wendy look so guilty. I looked at Laxus who was stood with me and he nodded.

"Hey Wendy. I know you would never do that to you. I see you as my little sister, and am glad you want to stay with me. I am now part of the Thunder Legion but we would be happy to have you and Carla with us."

"Yay. Thank you big sis and Laxus". Wendy then tackled us both in a big hug. I really am happy that she wants to stay with me. I love her to pieces. "Wendy sweetie, me and Laxus are going home now, would you like to stay round tonight". She nodded so Laxus took both of us and teleported us to Wendy's after we said goodbye to everyone so she could get her things and Carla. He then took us home. We decided to have a movie night as it was an easy way to get comfortable. Not long after the second movie started, Wendy fell asleep so we put her in the spare room and then me and Laxus went to bed.

Wendy P.O.V

I never wanted Lucy off of the team. I could always sense a dormant power within Lucy and I'm glad it has now been released. I was really happy when Lucy forgave me and invited me to stay with her and Laxus on their team and at their house tonight. I was shocked that Laxus allowed it, but I think he has a soft spot for me since Lucy sees me as a sister. I tackled both of them with a massive hug to show my gratitude. I also told Luce that I would not heal Natsu after their dual. He doesn't deserve it.

Laxus P.O.V

I could tell Wendy was upset about being away from Lucy so when she asked about the Team, I instantly allowed her to join. Through our telepathic connection, I could also tell that Lucy wanted Wendy over tonight, and I nodded since I know the two are like sisters. I also have a soft spot for the kid and I don't mind her company. I was surprised when Wendy hugged both of us, but was glad she felt comfortable enough to do so. We went back home and had a movie night, in which Wendy fell asleep during the second film so we took her to the spare bedroom followed by Carla. Me and Lu then decided to get some sleep to. I cant wait to see Natsu's face tomorrow. I bet he will be slightly scared.
