Note: I did change the looks of her spirits besides Aquarius, because she was her mothers and does what she wants. I felt like Lucy is a different personality then canon then so should her spirits. Thanks!
Chapter Two
It had been a week since Lucy joined Phantom Lord and it was a strange atmosphere. The two she originally talked to on the first day, didn't speak with her. They had their own group, sort of, there were four of them that usually talk with one another. Then Gajeel, he was by himself a lot.
Lucy found a place to stay by the river that ran through Magnolia. It was small but she called it home? She didn't really have that much to her name. Looking down at the guild mark she got on her wrist, it was bright pink against her pale skin. She tried to think of this as her home, temporarily.
The guild members themselves always talked about defeating Fairy Tail once and for all but why? What did they do to them? Why were they so intent on defeating a measly guild that really looked like it was destroying itself?
Since then, Lucy had made a contract with her new, but stolen, spirit. Her little dog spirit was perfect, he was small, white in stature, and super cute. He was a noticeable scar running across his face, from the right eyebrow down to left cheek.
She had named him Plue, not really knowing where that came from, just that it seemed to fit the tiny creature. He didn't require much magic and he didn't have any fighting skills, but she kept the cute little thing.
Her gaze traveled around the guild she was in, it was quiet, but she could see many people talking amongst themselves. Lucy felt like she was an outcast in this guild. It was different when she was a rogue mage; it was a different atmosphere to be alone in the world then to be alone in a crowd of people.
She sighed into her drink, the ripples of the water catching her eyes, maybe she should take a mission. It would be her first ever, but she didn't know what she could handle. The blonde got to her feet to look at the mission board Phantom Lord had.
Taking a look at the missions they had, Lucy could see various jobs that would be easy but some that would be very difficult to do on her own.
She decided to take the first mission she had, to get a book for some rich person. Sounded easy enough and they needed a blonde maid; like hell she was going to do that.

"You wanted to see me?" Gajeel spoke once he closed the door behind him. Jose Porla sat at his desk with a smirk playing on his lips. Juvia had came to get him after he got back from his mission, telling the slayer that master wanted to see him.
"Yes, I have an important mission for you," picking up a piece of paper from his desk and gazing at it when Gajeel decided to stand rather then sit. He sighed at the action, "Sit," commanding him.
Gajeel rolled his eyes, aggressively sitting in the armchair beside him, "What is it this time?" Jose has had Gajeel do 'special' projects before, some more dangerous than others. One time, Gajeel had to destroy a neighboring shop when they refused to have any Phantom Lord members allowed in their shop due to some devious activity.
"I just got a picture in of a client that has missed his daughter," holding the picture for Gajeel to see, the man instantly knew who it was. "Interesting request I got, just after she joined. He believes she has joined Fairy Tail, having no reason as to why," He explained.
"Why don't we just hand her over then if she's here?" Gajeel didn't know why he was here, if it was such a simple request.
"Well, he wants to give us money. So, my idea was to say she's in Fairy Tail and finally attack them when we have the chance. Take down Fairy Tail and get money from this dumb sap," Jose explained, with a sinister smile. He was an evil being and Gajeel knew this could end badly.
He shifted in his seat, "How are we going to do this?" knowing he was itching to fight the dumbass Salamander.
"I'm going to have you make a statement to the fairies just who they are messing with," tapping his fingers on his desk. "That's all I have for you," waving his hand off to dismiss the Iron dragon slayer.
Gajeel walked out the office and down the hall to the main area just in time to see the blonde fold a mission flyer and stuffing it in her jacket pocket. She had no idea what was about to come to her.
[***]
Lucy made her way to the Everlue house on the outskirts of the town, it was quite large in stature with red brick walls and pointed pillars around the roof. The gates were high up in the sky, Lucy had to get a better way inside to find the book.
The client was a couple, wanting the blonde to find the book of Daybreak, and burn it. Not sure why couldn't do it themselves, but she didn't say a thing about it. The two even increased the price of the mission to two million jewels and Lucy got a bit skeptical of the whole thing.
She walked to the side of the building to see the gate wrapped around the whole building, so she made her way all the way to the back to slip between the stakes. Momentarily getting stuck because of her big bust. Lucy smashed a window on the first floor and crawled her way inside.
"I hope no one heard that," She whispered to herself.
Slowly stepping her way across the hallway, looking in every open door to find this library. Lucy stopped, flattening herself against the wall by a tall potted plant. A few ugly looking maids walked by her with giggles and what looked like laundry.
They passed and Lucy was on her way towards the back of the building, she was looking behind her to see if there were anymore maids around to see her when she bumped into someone causing her to fall back and smack her hands on the floor behind her.
"Shit," looking up she saw Natsu with Happy flying next to him. "Natsu? What the hell are you doing here?"
His face was covered by his white, scaled scarf wrapped around his face, the only other thing uncovered was his eyes. His jade eyes were wide when he looked down at her, he pulled the scarf down to show his fanged smile, "We saw you squeeze through the gate and break a window here and…" he trailed off.
"And you thought that I was breaking in and stealing a bunch of things?" She stood with her arms crossed and a scowl on her face.
Scratching the back of his head, and not looking at her, "Uh,"
Lucy only rolled her eyes, pushed past him while bumping shoulders with him. She didn't want to deal with this bullshit, she had every right to be here, kind of. She had a job to do and why would he need to get in the way?
Natsu had grabbed her arm before she could get too far, pulling her to spin her around. His eyes narrowed at her, "What are you doing here?" he asked with Happy standing on his shoulder with crossed arms and an equally pointed look.
"What's it to you? I don't have to report to you," shifting her feet but also keeping an eye everywhere. They were in a place that she both shouldn't be. Also, she still had a mission to do.
"Well, I am supposed to keep others from doing illegal things. I'm a Fairy Tail mage after all," letting go of her arm but keeping close to her.
Lucy lifted an eyebrow at her, she was a legal mage now and he was treating her like a criminal. Who the hell gave him the right? The blonde just shook her head, tried to walk past him to find the damn library when he stepped in front of her, blocking her way, "Get out of my way! I have something to do,"
"What do you have to do?"
"Gods! None of your damn business!" she threw up her hands in exasperation. When he wouldn't move, she pushed his chest with her hands, causing him to grunt and growl afterwards.
Lighting his fists on fire, she drew back from him but also narrowed her mocha eyes at him. Happy flew off Natsu when he growled but watched out for Lucy when she pulled out her whip. The stellar mage snapped her with at him, he leaned to the left to get out of the way.
Holding a fist in the air, Natsu yelled "Fire Dragon iron fist!" just barely missed the blonde as she tumbled out of the way, but it singed the ends of her hair a bit. Lucy looked to her left to see an open room that held tons of books.
Smiling, she looked back to the pink-haired mage with his fists aflame and dashed towards the cracked door down the hall.
He chased you to the room, watching her bump the door with her shoulder and shut it in his face. He growled again, punching through the door to get to her when the ground beneath the two fighting mages started to shake and crack upwards.
First, out popped a giant, oversized maid that kind of resembled a gorilla. Second, a plump man with brown hair and his mustache was coming out of his nose. His lip was curled in a snarl at the two mages in his library, "What the hell do you think you're doing?" He yelled.
Lucy didn't really know how to answer that, 'yeah, I came here to steal a book from you and burn it', that would go over well. So, she pointed to Natsu, "He brought me here to steal all your things,"
His head snapped to her, wide eyes and slacked jaw, "WHAT?" letting some fire fall out of this mouth in the process.
"Get him, Virgo!" he sicked his spirit on the fire mage. The gorilla like creature barreled under ground just to smash Natsu off his feet as she came back up. He flipped himself upright then his feet was on fire as he double kicked her in the chest.
The blonde sneaked herself over to the books, to look for Daybreak while Natsu distracts them for her. Her eyes scanned over the books, not finding it yet and she saw blue fur out of the corner of her eye, "What cat?"
"You know your evil right?" he commented placing himself on the shelf she was looking through.
She smiled but kept looking through the books, "I don't know what you mean," she said in a sing-song voice when she heard the fighting happening behind her. She walked to the next shelf and Happy followed her.
"I think you know what I mean, you sent Natsu to fight for you while you run away again," crossing his tiny arms over his chest.
She laughed, "He's not fighting for me, he's a distraction," she countered while you eyes lit up as she found the book, "I found it,"
Her head snapped over to Natsu and the spirit Virgo and Everlue cheering her on. Lucy knows the door is right next to them fight and she wasn't going to get passed without them knowing. As she was trying to devise a plan, more people showed up just in the doorway.
"We are the Vanish Brothers, here to stop you puny mages," one tall and the other small while holding a giant frying pan. Her mind was reeling as to what to do. Well, she had to fight to get this mission over with. The blonde set the book on the side table as she grazed her finger over the gold key.
"Open, Gate of the Crab: Cancer!" after a doorbell ring was heard, out popped a man who was tall, tan and his hands were claws. His pants were tight and black with chains falling out of the pockets. He was wearing a white loose shirt with a grey vest layered over it. To say the least, he looked badass.
"Cancer, I need your help with these losers," unraveling her whip from her hip.
He snapped his claws together with a sly smile on his face, "You got it baby,"
The Vanish Brothers prepared for their move, the taller one jumped high into the sky and Lucy kept her eyes on him while the other sent an attack to the blonde. Cancer pushed her out of the way, just in time.
Natsu had grabbed the shoulders of Virgo and then, poof, they were gone. Duke Everlue turned his attention back to the Vanish Brother and Lucy to see she had lied and was trying to steal from him anyway. "What do you want with this book?" holding up the book in question.
Instead of answering the pumpkin duke, she snapped her whip around the book and snatched it back into her own hands. Running towards the doors and having Cancer follow her out as she ran.
"Get that book back!" Everlue yelled to the Vanish Brothers to get Lucy back.
She made her way down the stairs, almost tripping on her own feet, Lucy was home free until Virgo popped up again with Natsu still clenching to her shoulder, looking dazed.
He fell off and onto his back, "W-what just h-happened?" then Happy flew into his chest wondering where he went. Lucy looked behind her to see Everlue and the Vanish Brothers running after her. She panicked with Cancer by her side, her mocha eyes watched Natsu get back up and she tucked the book under her arm further.
Suddenly, Natsu threw a fire dragon roar at the three of the behind her, causing her to hit the floor. However, the brother with the frying pan countered his attack with his pan; sending the fire back at Natsu.
"Natsu move!" the blonde yelled but he just stood there; at this point, Lucy realized that she didn't know what Natsu's magic really is. He began to breath in the fire like he was eating some pasta. She was amazed.
"Cancer take Everlue out," she whispered to her spirit. The crab spirit nodded and snuck up behind the Duke, cutting off all his hair and causing him to pass out from hysteria.
Natsu was taking out the Vanish Brothers, beating them both down without any effort. Lucy took this time to grab the book and run out the door and didn't look back.
[***]
Walking back to the clients place, Lucy read through the book, it was weird, and she didn't quite believe that this author wrote this. She has read so many of his works, but this was very strained and not detailed enough, "This is not the book is it?" she asked herself.
"Whose book is it?" a voice sounded beside her suddenly, she let out a yelp and glaring at the pink-haired slayer.
"Get out of here," trying to walk faster than him, that however didn't work. Natsu just ran before her to stop her walking.
"Why do you always have an attitude?" looking confused but interested.
Lucy rolled her eyes, trying to leave the situation, Natsu just side stepped her with his jade eyes boring into hers.
Huffing through her nose, Lucy crossed her arms, "What do you want?"
He opened his mouth to answer but instead closed it with his hand scratching the back of his head. Lucy stepped around him to get back to the client and get this straighten out. She knew that this wasn't going to end well once Natsu and Happy started walking with her.
"Wait, here," setting a gold key in her hand, "I found this in the rubble after the build fell. Keep it,"
She looked down to see Virgo's key, "Thanks," she mumbled under her breath and keep her pace to the clients house.
After talking with the clients, telling them all about the book and what it really is. They questioned why she had brought the book to them when they asked them to burn it. Lucy decided to say her spell over the book instead of answering them.
Natsu was amazed by the bright runes flashing through the room. The title of the book changed from Daybreak to Dear Kaby. It was a story about how he was held captive and wanted his last words to be towards his son. Once they all started crying, Lucy took her leave.
Natsu said goodbye to her, while running towards his guild claiming that he was starving with Happy by his side.
[***]
Natsu showed up at the guild just in time to see Erza arrive from her long S-class mission. He saw Gray standing by the guild board looking at something, so the fire dragon slayer decided to mess with the dumb ice prick, "Hey ice princess!" punching his back in retaliation.
"Hey!" turning around and punched him in the face he was about to retort when Max slammed open the doors in a panic.
"Come quick! We need help!" screaming with wide eyes and huffing breath.
Getting all the Fairies ran to the center of the park, they saw three of their members hung up by metal claps, all unconscious with a bloody mark on Levy's stomach. "Who would…?" Erza scowled, her hands clenched at her sides.
Gray walked to the base of the tree to see a post-it note nailed to the tree. "Here's a warning to you fairies, give us Lucy Heartfillia and Phantom Lord won't have to retaliate again. -Black Steel"
"Who's Lucy?" Everyone asked, looking around except Natsu and Happy. They knew a Lucy, not her last name but it sounds the same.
Master Makarov stood fuming at the sight of his children strung up, seeing the other children bringing them down and running them to the infirmary. "This means war!" he declared.
They march to the infamous Phantom Lord guild, kicking open the doors to show their small guild master with much fury painted on his face, "Fairy Tail has come calling!"
Then all hell broke loose.
Phantom Lord and Fairy Tail pulling out all the tricks to their magic's. Cana was pulling out every card she had and took out several members, Gray was using his Ice Make: Canon on a few unsuspecting Phantom members. Even Macao and Wakaba were joining in on the fights, there was one member that was looking for someone specifically.
Natsu was punching and kicking his way through the guild to find Lucy, he knew she was here, he'd seen her guild mark inside her wrist. Why were they looking for her when they already had her?
In the back hallway behind the chaos that was the Phantom Lord guild hall, he watched Gajeel arguing with Lucy, but she was not having it. He yelled at her as she yelled back, he then snapped his hand behind her neck and pushed her towards the back.
"Happy, there-" asking Happy to fly him over but then the ceiling fall down with their master looking green all over.
"Master!" Erza screamed and ran to gramps to see if he was alright, "We have to retreat!"
[***]
Lucy was being taken to the top of their guild hall, with Gajeel's hand holding the back of her neck. All he told her was that Master Jose needed to see her but Fairy Tail was attack them, she argued that she needed to help win against the fairies.
"Get going blondie!" pushing her forward and making her stumble in the doorway and seeing her master standing there with a brazen look on his face. Lucy fell to her knees and before she could get back up Jose instructed Gajeel to tie her hands.
"What's happening?" She asked, wiggling away from Gajeel but he just jabbed his steel foot in her calf, causing her to groan in pain.
Jose stepped forward, his face a mire inch from hers, "Daddy wants you home,"
As her eyes grew wide, her mind raced. How was this going to play out?
