"You stupid BITCH!" Eagen threw a chair across the room and then kicked Lucy in the chest. "You were supposed to kill them!"

Lucy sat up showing no signs of pain. "This one was not ordered to kill them" she stated in her dead voice.

Eagen lifted her to her feet with a hand under her chin "I told you to destroy them." He growled, so angered that spittle splashed onto her face.

"This one's order was to destroy the guild hall. Exact words "return to the Fairy Tail guild hall and destroy it.' This one did as ordered."

He screamed in her face then squeezed her jaw until it broke with a snap and then threw her across the room to land by the chair.

"May I suggest restraint sir?" a man said from the corner of the room. "We still need to question her about those people."

Eagen turned to rage at him but then pulled back. "You're right Connor." He said with a sigh. "Heal her."

"Right away sir." Connor shuffled over to Lucy's form on the floor and held his hands over her head. A soft golden light emitted from his hands that soon enveloped first her head, then her entire body. When the glow faded she stood up and resumed her stance of straight back and hands folded loosely in front of her.

Eagen retrieved the chair he had thrown and placed it in front of her then sat. He just stared at her for a few moments before he decided to speak. "There are a number of wizards that I have an interest in and you will tell me everything you know about them."

"As you command, this one will obey."

"First of all, tell me about Hibiki of Blue Pegasus."

Somewhere in Fiore, the magic bomber Christina flew on in the search for Lucy. The team that manned it were unaware of the attack on Fairy Tail. Hibiki stood outside by one of the wings as he watched the ground slide by. A noise caught his attention but was unaffected when he saw Ren come into his view.

"What are you doing out here?" Hibiki asked, turning back to the landscape.

"I just spoke to Master Bob."

"Yeah?"

"Fairy Tail was attacked."

Hibiki spun around to his friend with wide eyes. "What happened? Who attacked them?"

"He didn't have much information, just that guild hall is in ruins and a lot of people are hurt."

"Alright. We need to turn around. Contact Master Bob and let him know…"

"What the hell?" Ren cut Hibiki off as he moved to the edge and stare over. Hibiki mirrored his team mate in confusion at what he saw.

A particularly tall tree stuck out from all the others and put the top about 50 feet from the bottom of the airship. Standing a thick branch near the very top was a woman.

"IS that Lucy?" Hibiki asked as she raised a hand with all five fingers spread out. The moment she pulled her fingers in to make a fist there was a loud BANG and she airship shook violently. Ren and Hibiki were thrown to the ground but quickly got up and ran inside where Eve was desperately trying to keep the Christina in the air.

"What happened?" Hibiki shouted over the noise of the alarms going off.

"I don't know! It's like the engine just exploded." There was another explosion that sent all three men flying in different directions and then yet another explosion. Eve staggered back to him feet and ran back to the main console. "We just lost both wings. We are losing altitude fast."

The airship then tilted and they found themselves holding on for dear life as they plummeted to the ground.

Hibiki coughed as he opened his eyes to the wreckage around him. Ren was a few feet away, bleeding but thankfully alive. He couldn't see Eve at all. He tried to move to his friend but his left leg was trapped under a piece of the main console. He reached down to attempt to free his leg but a foot stepped on his hand and pressed down. He had enough time to look up and see Lucy looking down on him with dead eyes, then she kicked him in the head and then nothing.

He awoke some time later tied to a chair in a small and empty room. At first he thought he was alone until his eyes adjusted to the darkness and he saw Lucy standing in the corner.

"Lucy? Where are we?" she didn't answer. "We've been looking everywhere for you! Are you ok?" still nothing. The door opened and a sharp dressed man entered, bouncing a marble in his hand.

"AH! You're awake!" he said in a sickly sweet voice.

"Who are you?"

"I am the man that is going to change your life." He smiled, it made Hibiki's stomach turn.

"Sorry, but my life is just fine thanks."

"Well, you think that it's fine, but you really need help. And the help you need I can give to you." He began tossing the marble back and forth between his hands.

"I don't need help from anyone, least of all you! Let me and Lucy go! Now!"

The man's expression turned sour for a moment before it brightened again. "Well, it was worth a shot." he smiled and leaned in close, holding the marble up to Hibiki's face. Do you see this? I love this thing. And thanks to Lucy here, I have perfected the fusion process."

"Fusion? Fusion to what?"

"Your brain!" he whispered harshly. "You see, with my sweet Lucy I had to break her first before this device would work properly. But now all I have to do is put a little of my power into it like this," the marble started to glow then he switched it to his other hand and held it in his palm where the marble turned into some kind of thick liquid. "And now all I have to do is place it at your eye here, at the tear duct, and after that anything I tell you to do…you will do. I will have total control over you."

"Why me" Why would you want someone like me? I'm not even very powerful!"

"You're right, you're not very powerful. But that Archive magic of yours will come in very handy. So do yourself a favor and try not to squirm, it will just make it hurt more." He placed the liquefied marble where he said he would and Hibiki screamed as he felt it slide into his eye.
