Last time on a fairy tail retold

Lucy: Man it's a good thing the reporter is gone

Happy: he sure didn't want anything to do with you, Lucy

Lucy: what does that mean furball

Natsu: Guys calm down and go grab some grub

Lucy: what's with you and food


One day at dusk in the town of Magnolia a disheveled man arrived in town he face and body were covered by tattered robes as he searched the town on his back was travel gear as he approached the fairy pub It was a slow day at the fairy pub as Lucy sat at their table looking at her partner who was in the middle of something

"come on Mira" Natsu begged "let go out on a job" he asked the barmaid who just shook her head as she cleaned the glasses "it's been more than a month and you still won't let me try and find work" Natsu told as Mira sighed and looked away this was a typical conversation for the two in the past few days as Natsu was starting to get bored and the rest of his team needed money so they could pay rent at their apartment "please sis, I promise it won't be anything too dangerous"

"letting out a defeated sigh Mira turned to Natsu "fine Natsu," she said "but nothing too crazy. I worry about you" she then ruffled his hair as Elfman smiled "we should be getting a fresh set of jobs tomorrow from what I've heard"

"Lucy" Natsu screamed pulling the girl out of her book "get lots of sleep tonight" he shouted "cause tomorrow we're getting back to work"

Lucy froze as tears formed in her eyes "really Nasu" she asked "you mean it NAsu" as Lucy expressed her joy the strange disheveled man walked up to the pub he stopped as he looked at Lucy "thank Mira" she shouted as the white-haired girl waved at her Lucy stopped when a chill washed over her looking back she thought she saw something or somone


Love and Lucy


As Lucy starred at the door and calming her self down she looked back at Natsu who was giving her a worried glance "call me crazy" Lucy said "but lately I've been feeling being watched"

"what do think Happy," Natsu said dramatically "is there a term for Lucy's condition"

"I"d say its a textbook case of an excessive ego" Happy said as the pair started laughing

"Oh come on guys it's not like I want to be stalked" Lucy shouted at the pair before standing up "I guess I'll head home," Lucy said "seeing as I'm not like the rest of you"

"tomorrow at noon sleeping beauty"

"whatever Natsu," Lucy said as she left Mira laughed at the twos exchange

"Natsu and Lucy are so cute," Mira said "they've gotten close over this past year," she said as Elfman nodded his head Gray smiled as he watched Lucy leave

As Lucy walked home she walked past the ship "one of these days you're going to fall in Lucy" they called out

"I told you I'm fine," Lucy told him

"be safe on your way home"

"I will," Lucy said as plue was following her "I wonder what I should wear tomorrow" she asked out loud she stopped when the feeling came over her again looking back and seeing a strange man staring at her 'oh no' Lucy said to herself as she started to walk faster 'I am being watched' she turned again and saw the man was following her 'and now he's following me' Lucy continued to run until she came to a stop since she was out of breath looking back Lucy let out a sigh of relief "guess I lost him" Lucy said as the man appeared behind her Lucy then let out an ear-splitting scream "leave me alone"

"Lucy calm down," the man said as he removed his hood "it' your father"

Lucy stopped as a wave of mixed emotions flooded her mind from the pub being destroyed to the war with Phantom Lord to her saying her final goodbye "what" she asked "why are you here" Lucy said trying to hide her anger once she saw her how her father looked "and what's with the beard, and tattered clothes"

Letting out a sigh Jude looked at his daughter before explained "heartfilia railways was bout out from under me" he said "which means I lost everything I own" Jude said "the estate, the company, and all my money" he said

"Are you serious?" Lucy asked her anger now replaced with confusion here he was the man that had caused her and her friends, her family so much trouble and he was telling her that he lost everything a few days ago she couldn't believe it

"I'm afraid so," Jude said "I put up my entire fortune as collateral, I spent all those years building up that company, and this is the thanks I get," he said

"what the house," Lucy asked "what about" Lucy froze "what about moms grave"

"don't worry," he said "I had it moved," he told her as he handed her a slip of paper which told her where the grave was "I would be entirely heartbroken" Jude said "if I didn't find it so funny" he mussed as Lucy stared at the slip of paper" all in one afternoon, all my money went up in smoke in the blink of an eye" he then started laughing "I pushed my own family to the side for all that money" he said as Lucy closed her before adopting a cold glare

"why did you come here father," she asked which stopped Jude in his tracks he looked at his daughter her face enough to remind him of his wife Layla when she was angry "I doubt it was just to tell about moms grave being moved" Lucy glared at him "if you came here to mess with me or my friends"

Jude stopped her "I just wanted to see my precious daughter," he said "I promise" Lucy backed up "don't give me that look, I honestly wanted to see if you were doing all right"

"but why now," Lucy asked

"I've accepted a job in Acalypha, it's at a merchants guild," he told her "I've decided to start over," he said "don't mind me I'm just passing through"

"Acalypha" Luc asked

"however," Jude said "I do have a favor to ask" as his face went blank "I need money"


[##kizuna ost##]


"what," Lucy asked in shock

"You heard me," Jude said anger now starting to fill his voice as he got closer "all I need is one hundred thousand jewels for my travels"

Lucy was takin back "so you just think I have that kind of money on a daily basis, cause I'm a wizard," Lucy said "we solo-wizards," Lucy said a shadow covering her face now as she glared at her father "we barely get enough money to get food on the table, and the jobs we get always run the risk of a guild coming and taking the jewel for themselves" Lucy told him "and not to mention we can go months without a single job being posted for us cause nearly every town in Fiore belongs to a guild" Lucy shouted tears forming at her eyes

"and I'm swallowing my pride asking you" Jude argued back "at least something so I can travel," Jude told her stepping forwards "after all I did for

"you still don't get it," Lucy told him "when I left home I barely had any money to my name," Lucy said "you're going to have to start at rock bottom father," Lucy said as she pushed past him "cause even if could I still wouldn't help you so just leave me alone" Lucy shouted as she ran away from her father as he watched her run off


As Lucy approached the apartment Natsu and Happy stood in front of the building "anything on your end sergeant Happy"

"nothing on my end sir" Happy said as Lucy walked up to the two letting a smile form on her face as the two acted goofy

"hey welcome home," Natsu said

"we're happy to report no suspicious characters have been detected," Happy told her

"thanks, guys," Lucy said

"captain," Happy said " it appears the book private is being a party pooper sir"

"when did I become a private" Lucy asked

"well you still are a noobie," Natsu told her smiling "is something wrong," he asked as something fell in front of him

"Sir, we have a creeper" Happy shouted as a hand tried to show him away as Natsu jumped the man who let outa shout revealing himself to be Gray who was in his underwear

"what are you doing here," Natsu asked

"I never would have guessed you would be the perv stalking Lucy," Happy said

"wait guys" Lucy started before Gray interrupted her

"I overheard how she was feeling she was being watched" Gray tried to explain "so I decided to follow her home to make sure she was safe, jeez I was just looking out for a friend," Gray said

"you like her don't you" Happy teased

"watch it our I'll punch your face in cat" Gray shouted

"I never really like you Gray" Natsu told him "but now, I've lost all respect for you"

"what you mean by that" Gray asked

" I always suspected you might be a pervert, cause you walk around half naked, but now I'm absolutely positive" Happy didn't get to finish as he was punched into the sky

"I wasn't stalking her I was looking out for her" Gray shouted

"you just made cause you been caught red-handed ya pervy popsicle" Natsu taunted


[##Happy theme ost##]


the two began fighting as Lucy stood on the sideline "take this somewhere else, please" Lucy shouted before letting a smile form on her face if anything she could always count on her friends to lighten up her mood more so than anything else

The next day team fairy tail too ready for the first job in a while "it's time to get back the work Lucy" Natsu shouted

"Aye sir" Happy shouted

"I'm ready and waiting," Lucy said as Erza stood next to her

"what job are we taking" Happy asked

"how about this one," Gray said as he held a job to the group "it's catching an escaped convict called Velveno"

"Wow," Happy said "I heard of him, he's called the guild hunter" Happy explained "it's hard to believe he's on the loose"

"the reward splits up to four hundred jewels each" Erza said "that covers our rent for a while" Erza explained "and we should have enough for food as well"

"yeah count me in," Lucy said she stopped when she overheard Macao and Wakaba talking about something

"you hear what happened in Acalypha," Macao asked

"Yeah," Wakaba said "it's merchant guild was taken over by a bunch of thugs "

now ignoring her friends Lucy started to listen in on Macao and Wakaba "yeah, but it isn't just any band of hooligans, there's a rumor that they have access to magic too" Macao said "the army doesn't stand a chance if they do"

"what" Lucy shouted as she rushed over to the pair "I need to get to Acalypha now" she shouted

Natsu smiled as they looked back for Lucy who was gone "where'd Lucy go" he asked

"I don't know," Erza said

Lucy ran through the town her mind racing "I may hate him but" Lucy shook her head as "he's still my father and I have to save him"


In the town of Acalypha the army stood at the door as a crowd of citizens crowded the entrance asking why the army hadn't stormed in yet to which they revealed that the group is using unregulated magic and they have sent for guild to intervineLucy arrived and saw the commotion "damn it" she cried as she attempted to get through only for the guard to stop her

"no civilians past this point," he told her

"but I'm a wizard," Lucy told him "I need to get in there and"

"yeah right "I don't recognize that mark," the soldier told her "you'll have to wait like everyone else

Lucy backed away "I need to get in there," Lucy said as she walked away she saw a group of ants coming from a whole which sparked an idea in her head "that's it. {open gate of the maiden: Virgo"

Virgo appeared from the ground and bowed "hello princess, do you which to punish me"

"no," Lucy said in shock "I need your help, Virgo," Lucy said "can you get me in there," Lucy said as she looked back to see Virgo had already finished

"will you punish me now princess"

"NO," Lucy told her "what's with you all of a sudden it's weird"

Inside the Merchants guild, the group stood nervous "damn it" one of the men said "this isn't enough" he said "I told you we should have robbed a bank instead"

"OH shut up," someone else said"we need to hurry up and put the money in the bag before the army storm in here" he shouted as looked at the hostages who were tied up as they shifted a look of anger grew on his face "if had just given us the money, this wouldn't be happening" he told them as someone looked in terror "what" he shouted as he pulled up his magic gun "you have an itch or something" the person kept squirming which irritated him more

"don't do it"

"that's it" he then fired a magic round which was deflected by Taurus

"that was a despicable moove," he said

"what"


[##Lucy Ganbaru Ost##]


"this is over" Lucy shouted as she appeared from the hole Virgo maid for her "time for you boys to end this" she then opened Cancers gate as he slashed the group down

"Go Sagittarius" Lucy shouted as Sagittarius appeared and fired his arrows knocking out the members

"and now for the final move" Lucy shouted as the people watched in anticipation "{Lucy Kick}" she shouted as she kicked a member down

"damn it," the man said "as he ran for the exit " I'll be sure to get you for this, you haven't heard the last of the dark guild naked mummy"

"a dark guild," Lucy asked as the man escaped Cancer then cut the hostages free as the army swarmed in and started to arrest the members shaking her thoughts Lucy looked around for her father as people swarmed her thanking her

"no, I'm a solo wizard" Lucy answered quickly

"yeah celestial magic"

after walking outside and looking around "father" Lucy called "where are you"

"Lucy" a voice called Lucy turned to see her father walking through the front gate

"no don't tell me," she said "you just got here"

"well," he said "I did have to walk," Jude told her "you didn't have enough to give me a train ride"

"you're telling me that's what he needed travling expenses for" Lucy screamed in her head 'that's a huge price tag for a short trip"

"what brings you to Acalypha, my dear," Jude asked

"I was worried," Lucy told "I had heard this place was attacked by a" Lucy froze she shouldn't reveal that it was a dark guild, not until she got back to Mavis "a group of hooligans, and I remembered you said you were coming here"

Jude looked around as the soldiers tried to look for the wizards that escaped "you came all the way here cause you were worried about me"

"well it doesn't matter," Lucy said walking away

"yes it does Lucy" Jude tried talking to her but she contuied to walk away

"just because I was worried about you," Lucy said"doesn't mean I've forgiven you"


[##fariy tail main theme slow ver. ost##]


"I know," Jude said "and I don't blame you," Jude said as Lucy started to walk away "the walk to hear from Magnolia, gave me a lot of time to think about my actions towards you," he said "I'm truly sorry Lucy, I wish I could take back everything I ever said to you" he said "but I will change, slowly, I'm learning to live without money" Jude said "this merchant guild holds a great deal of memory's for me" Jude told Lucy "it was actually the place where I met your mother." after hearing that Lucy stopped in her tracks "we both worked here, and once we were married and she was pregnant with you, I decided to start my business, we both left the guild so I could follow my dreams" Jude explained, he smiled at the memory of him and Layla walking out of the guild "and as we were leaving we noticed that the guilds sign had lost its' K, Luckyhad become Lucy" Jude looked from the ground torwads Lucy hwo was still not facing him "it was there when we decded if we had a girl we would name her Lucy" finshing his story JUde looked at his daughter who looked at him smiling

"give me a break," Lucy said turning to face him "what kind of parents name their only daughter after a sign"

chuckling Jude smiled "not very good ones I suppose" he answered "you know Lucy" Jude started "I'm glad you came Lucy" he told her "I finally got to meet the plain old Lucy you've told me so much about" he said"and she's much stronger women than lucky Lucy heartfilia could ever be"

"Thanks, dad," Lucy said as she felt rumbling turning around to see her friends running towards her

"there you are" Natsu shouted "are you okay"

"we've been worried sick" Gray shouted

"Lucy" Happy shouted

as the group came to a stop to catch their breaths Erzaz took note of what happened "you defused this situation by yourself" Erza asked "color me impressed"

""yeah well" Lucy looked back towards her father who nodded at her "take care of yourself dad" leaving the group started to drill Lucy about why she ran off

"you going to tell us what that was about," Natsu asked

"Oh nothing," Lucy said "

"yeah nothing my but," Gray asked

"I hope you realize we lost our job because of you," Happy said

"I know" Lucy answered

Jude smiled as he watched his daughter walk off ' Layla, I hope you can forgive me, I've been such a fool'


As the group walked away Lucy let out a sigh "I'm sorry guys it's just"

"it's alright Lucy," Natsu said "we understand"

"Yeah," Gray said "just next time let us know okay"

"Yeah," Lucy said her mind then went back to what the guy said "though the experience is worrying," Lucy said

"why," the group asked

"one of the members got away," Lucy said "and he said something disturbing" Lucy stopped " the group that attacked the merchant guild was just a band of hooligans" Lucy clenched her hands together "they were part of a dark guild called Naked Mummy"

"what," Natsu asked

"are you sure about this Lucy," Erza asked to which the girl nodded

"we need to report this to Mavis," Natsu said "if this is true then the dark guild may have not been as destroyed as we think"

meanwhile, the man from Naked Mummy was beaten up as his guild master toward

over him "do you have the Money"


"no," he said as he started to cough up blood

"big bro Gatou" somone called "you keep repeating your self "

"because we need our protection money" Gatou "the orcion sies will come any day now to collect"

"Yeah," he said "did you hear though, something big is about to go down"

"Yeah," Gatou said "and whatever it is it has the dark guilds in a stir"

Miles away a man stood on a tower "can you hear it" he said "the bell tolling on the old generation behind stood five other people as lighting crackled behind them he then let out a laugh "the breaking of the light"

a ship hovered away from them showing the shadow of the man known as master hades a smile crept on his face "soon" he said "the time has come for us to come out of hiding"

"it's time," he said

"For the dark guilds to rise again"
