Laxus decides he's going to teach Lucy the sacred art of the Fairy Tail throw down, and Lucy goes along, because sometimes, a girl just wants to knock somebody out. In most cases, HIM.

Lucy's teammates were gone in a mission, which left her alone to do her own jobs and pay her rent successfully. Fortunately, a mission came for her and, surprisingly enough, Laxus. This starts a whole new chain of events that will change their opinions on each other. Rated T for some gore and profanities. Ch. 24: Epilogue

Bound by her promise to Natsu, she enters into a contract that becomes more dangerous by the day. When Laxus discovers how far she has gone to protect the guild, he struggles with his own involvement in the matter. Set after/includes spoilers from 416.
