Alright this is a short chapter. I'm so sorry! Next one will be longer. I pinky promise :3 , It's just that I didn't know what the plan for this chapter was going to be so I just made it up along the way. The next one will be much planned out. Enjoy!~

"We're back!" Natsu said as he smashed opened the door with his foot.

"Back so soon?" Mira said as she picked up some mugs off the table onto her tray, "Normally I would've thought you'd be gone for the whole day."

Laxus sighed as he went to give Mira a peck on the cheek, "Yeah well we bumped into a real surprise on our little outing."

Mira raised an eyebrow, "What kind of surprise?" Mira was really curious about this "surprise" she didn't know if it was a great one or a bad one.

Sting then popped into the conversation, "We just need to see the master like now." Mira could tell it was something serious by the look in his eyes. She nodded her head as she began leading them to the master who was sitting on the bar counter talking to Lucy.

"Hey Sting!" Lucy said as she wrapped her arms around him, "How was your little outing?" She looked up at him and he didn't have that playful smirk as he usually did, he looked like something was really worrying him.

"What's the matter my boy?" Makarov asked while gulping down his booze with a wide smile on his face.

"Eh well while we were out, we ran into some members from Sabertooth…"

Makarov raised an eyebrow while his smile disappeared, "Is that all that happened?" He was seriously hoping and praying that Sabertooth wasn't trying to mess with Fairy Tail again because he didn't want to be the one responsible on what happens to Sabertooth in the end.

Sting shook his head, "They attacked some blonde lady mistaking her for Lucy and they started to say that Minerva sent them here to take revenge Lucy her and to bring back Rogue and I."

Makarov then spit out his booze at the moment Sting had said that Minerva had sent people to attack Lucy. Those exact words enraged him how dare Sabertooth try to lay another finger on Lucy again especially since the Grand Magic Games are already over. And to think it was over the stupidest matter as well.

"That Minerva…" Makarov said as the glass mug in his hand smashed, "Thinking she can keep trying to touch my children WELL SHE'S GOT ANOTHER THING COMING. He then jumped off the counter with a serious look on his face.

"Brats! It seems that Sabertooth is trying to touch one of our family members!" Makarov then let out a deep breath, "Which means we must crush our family's enemies."

Erza then stood up from the counter seat, "Master, if you'd please I would like to go and pay back those Sabertooths."

Makarov nodded, "I've picked a group to go to Sabertooth and that group includes Natsu, Erza, Gray, Sting, Rogue, Gajeel, and Laxus. As you can obviously tell we can't send Lucy over there so she'll stay safe and sound over here at the guild." Makarov finished as he patted her on the head.

Gray then snickered, "Fine by me if I get to give Rufus another ass beating!" Laxus then said the same thing about Orga as the two grinned at the thought of beating the crap out of Sabertooth for messing with their nakama.

"Master I want to go too!" Lucy said with confidence, "It's about me as well so I'm included in this too!"

"As much as I would want to let you go Lucy, I'm afraid that this group will be able to handle Sabertooth. And we don't want you getting into the clutches of Minerva while over there, so I think its best that you stay here with Mira and the others."

Lucy let out a sigh and a pout she wanted to go as well with them and fight but she knew she'd be nothing but a burden after all. They were the strongest and she would always have to be the one to be saved and everything. Maybe Master was right for telling her to stay probably so that she wouldn't get kidnapped which would interfere with their payback.

"Alright" Lucy said smiling a little as she looked up to Sting, "Just you know come back alive. Cause you never know with Minerva."

Sting responded back with his playful grin, "Tch of course I'll be back blondie, after all I'm with Natsu-san and the others. Not saying that I can't take care of myself though!"

Lucy chuckled as she gave a kiss to Sting on the lips and then playfully punched him in the arm. He smirked at the blonde who was showing him a radiant smile.

Natsu then hollered giving a toothy grin, "I'm all fired up now! Let's go!"

"Natsu just don't cause too much of a ruckus!" Lisanna said laughing trying to calm the fire mage down from the excitement he was feeling.

Lucy laughed as she watched the pink-haired mage and the others zip out the door in a hurry. She knew Natsu would do anything to keep her safe along with Sting and the rest of her nakama.

"Don't worry Love-rival, Juvia knows Gray-sama will make sure everyone comes back safe!" Juvia said smiling as she passed by Lucy heading over to the filled job board.

Lucy nodded at Juvia as she then began to feel like this whole thing was her own fault. Since Minerva was targeting the guild for Lucy and for Sting and Rogue to return back. She just didn't get why she couldn't get over the damn fact that things change.

"Mira this is my fault isn't it?" Lucy said as she stirred the straw in her strawberry milkshake.

Mira widened her eyes, "And what makes you think that Lucy?" She then swooshed around the counter taking the seat next to the celestial mage.

"It's because of me that Minerva is targeting our guild and trying to get Sting and Rogue back." Lucy then cupped her hands over her eyes, "I can't help but feel guilty everyone has to go through all the trouble for me."

Mira looked at Lucy who had hot tears streaming down her face, "Lucy it isn't your fault, we all know Minerva. We're family right? We go through everything together no matter how hard it'll get. Your family will always be here!" Mira then gave a comforting hug to Lucy who tightly hugged the white-haired mage back.

"Thank you Mira." Lucy said giving off a smile to her as she wiped away the tears on her face. Mira gleamed back a smile as she nodded her head.

"And there's no need to worry since they're the strongest mages in the guild. Well alongside Gildarts!" Mira said chuckling as she stood up from the stool going back around the counter.

Lucy took a sip of her strawberry milkshake, "I guess you're right! There's nothing really to worry about!" She felt this feeling in her gut though that something was going to happen not knowing if it was going to be good or bad.

(Gray's POV: )

"Would you five already stop your whining" I said in an annoyed voice since Natsu, Sting, Rogue, Laxus, and Gajeel wouldn't stop complaining about how awful the train ride is. I don't see why Master didn't request Wendy as well, I mean she could off shut up these idiots and could of healed us in battle.

"Natsu come over here." Erza said as she patted the seat next to her. Natsu then slowly crawled over to the seat as if he was having trouble walking. His body trembling as his face was a toxic green color with his cheeks puffed all the way out. I had to admit he looked pretty damn funny.

The moment Natsu sat up onto the seat Erza punched him right in the stomach. He then fell back onto the train floor knocked out.

"That's going to shut him up." Erza said sighing as she held up her fist, "Anyone else?" She looked over to Sting who was whistling and looking the other way. Laxus had purposely acted like he fell asleep, Gajeel stood up straight with a fake smile on his face and then there was Rogue with the emotionless expression as usual as he just stared off into space.

"I think that's a no Erza." I told her as she then put down her fist, "Anyways I wonder why Minerva still won't drop this whole Sting and Lucy thing."

Erza looked out the window and then turned back to me, "I honestly don't even know either, but she's going to be sorry." A dark aura then surrounded her as she looked up at me with the look of a demon on her face.

I flinched a little, I could tell just by the look on her face that she wasn't even kidding. Man, I felt somewhat bad for Minerva when Erza sees her because she'll probably be begging on her knees for mercy.

"So how exactly are we going to get into the guild?" I asked.

She turned to me with an are-you-dumb look on her face, "The way Natsu would." I smacked my forehead Natsu was brainwashing her with all his habits of his. This meant that Erza would want us to just smash open the Sabertooth door and just started clobbering everyone until we find Minerva.

Out of nowhere Erza held a plate with a slice of strawberry cake on it. I had a puzzled expression on my face, I didn't see Erza get up and go get food. I wondered if she like carried boxes of that cake everywhere because wherever we went the cake always did.

"So do we even know who's taking on who?" I asked as I watched Erza take a big bite out of her cake while she closed her eyes and began to think.

I waited for her response as she then fluttered open her eyes, "You said you wanted to take down Rufus then you will. Knowing Laxus he would want to go after Orga and this is the first time I'm going to say this but I'll deal with the other members with Gajeel while Natsu, Sting, and Rogue head over to Minerva. I want to see if Natsu has improved that much."

"I see" I said raising an eyebrow as I crossed my arms, "And what if the three of them can't take down Minerva?"

Erza laughed while gulping down another piece, "I wouldn't underestimate the three of them together against her. They're three incredibly strong dragon slayers after all so they will be able to handle this. I just know it."

I slouched back in the seat as I looked over to Natsu, Sting, and Rogue who were now squirming on the ground. I couldn't help but snicker at them and you know Erza was actually right. Even though Natsu and Sting were idiots and Rogue was just quiet they were incredibly strong dragon slayers.

"You're right." I said with a grin looking at Erza.

"This'll be such an interesting battle." Erza said smiling down at her cake.
