"Mira, you wouldn't happen to know where Lucy is would you? That reporter from Weekly Sorcerer is coming and wants to interview her alongside the rest of Fairy Tail."

The guilds bartender tapped her chin in thought, "Hmm, no I haven't actually, but don't worry I can get her right now, Erza." Mira winked.

The scarlet haired mage sweat dropped at the devious look in her friend's eyes. Already she was regretting asking for help locating the dumb demon.

"Oh my god Erza, why are you walking around the guild naked!?" Mira yelled.

"Mira!" Erza screamed, outraged by the bartender's unorthodox way of calling upon the celestial demon slayer.

'BAM!'

The entire guild turned around to see their guild doors broken down by a disheveled goofy looking mage, searching around the guild franticaly. However, before she could take another step further into the guild, she was being wrestled onto the ground by one of her most well-known celestial spirits in the guild, Aquarius.

"LET GO AQUARIUS! I WANNA SEE MY MATE NAKED!" Lucy growled, struggling to stand back up. Little do many know, but only Aquarius could truly handle Lucy's inhumane strength.

"YOU ALREADY HAVE, SO WHY DO YOU NEED TO AGAIN!" she countered.

"BECAUSE!"

"BECAUSE WHAT YOU DUMB HORNY BRAT?!"

"BECAUSE REASONS!" Lucy yelled trying and failing to get out of her spirits grasps. The guild was enjoying seeing their strongest member get manhandled by a giant mermaid... perhaps a bit too much.

Mira turned away covering her mouth to hold back her laughter at the two by the guild entrance. What made the situation even funnier was Erza's face being the same color as the strawberries on her cake.

Once Erza got her face to cool down, she turned to see Lucy looking around disappointed from her spot on the ground. It seems Lucy had finally figured out she had been deceived, yet again. Aquarius, deciding that it should be safe enough to release her brat, let Lucy up and went back to the spirit world. She didn't really care what Lucy did next, so long as it didn't involve harassing Erza.

"Alright, which one of you lied to me about my mate being naked?" Lucy growled, flames beginning to erupt around her. "Turn yourself in now and I won't hurt you too much!"

The entire guild had gone silent at Lucy's declaration. Mira, only finding the current situation even funnier, waited to see what would happen next since she knew Lucy would never actually stand by her threat.

Mira turned around smiling and continued her job of handing out beers. The entire guild looking at the s-class barmaid in betrayal. But of course, no one was brave enough to call out the takeover mage, lest they feel her wrath.

"Was it you Macao?!"

"I didn't say anything!" Macao yells, trying to back away.

"Liar!" Lucy yelled, already beginning to lift the older man by his collar. Romeo merely watching with stars in his eyes as his dad continues to get bullied by his idol.

"Lucy, sit down already." Erza sighed, feeling an oncoming headache from having to deal with the idiot this early in the morning.

"There you are mate!" Lucy smiled goofily, the knight mage purposely looking away embarrassed for being associated with such an adorable idiot. Casually tossing Macao to the side, and ignoring the loud crash, Lucy ran to her mate's side and sat down just as asked, much to the amusement of the guilds'.

"Why aren't you naked?" Lucy asked innocently.

"Thump"

To the guilds surprise it was not only Erza who had punched Lucy into the ground but Aquarius. A tick mark shown clearly on her face.

"Damn brat, I told you to leave the girl alone! What would Layla think?!" Aquarius growled.

Lucy shyly grabbed her cloak to hide her face grumbling sadly. "Mama would be sad I keep tryna see my mate naked before we're mated."

"That's not what I was going for, but sure we'll go with that." The spirit sighed. "Just be good brat and do not make me come out here again."

"See ya later Aqua!"

"No, no later, unless it's for fighting got it." Aquarius said as she lifted the blonde up by her collar.

"Mkay." Lucy said with a smile.

The guild watched amazed as Lucy did nothing but smile at her spirit ordering her around and manhandling her.


After having everything gone back to normal, the rest of team Natsu waited for the blonde reporter. Despite some being more reluctant than others to stay and be asked questions from someone they didn't know.

"Why am I here?" Lucy asked.

"Because the Weekly Sorcerer has asked to do a segment on Fairy Tail and you are a part of Fairy Tail, thus you will be reported on", Erza said annoyed.

Lucy scratched her head, "I don't wanna."

Erza felt an eye twitch. "I don't care you'll do it."

Lucy looked away. "Don't wanna, Lucifer said freevoless things like interviews are a waste of time. Why do you think I was never seen before joining Fairy Tail?" Lucy asked.

Surprisingly the guild was struck silent by Lucy's words. Half of the guild by her use of such of a big word, despite it being butchered, and the other half for her having such a reasonable reason for not wanting to be interviewed.

"Wasn't that just so you had the element of surprise, Lucy?" Mira asked.

Lucy shook her head. "I was always being asked for interviews and photoshoots while traveling, but unless it was for sleeping and eating, I hardly took breaks from fighting. I only cared about being strong, talking about myself is a waste of time when I could be helping people."

No one could argue with Lucy's reasoning, not even Erza could find a good enough reason as to why Lucy should let Jason interview her.

"Oh, uh look there he is." Levy pointed out, cutting the tension in the guild.

A man with blond hair arranged in a single spike pointing straight up rushed into the guild. "COOL! COOL! Fairy Tail is so COOL!"

"I'm gonna go take a nap then." Lucy said, not at all interested in what was happening.

"At least consider being interviewed by Jason, he's nice once you get to know him Lucy." Mira asked.

Lucy glanced at the blonde who was in the middle of interviewing Juvia and Gray together. "He looks weak, Luce and I don't care for weak people…. but I guess that's why he's a reporter", Lucy commented, earning a smack on her head by Mira.

"If that's the case then why were you helping all those people in the west?"

"Tch, they weren't weak, they were vul-ner-a-ble." Lucy sounded out, looking to Levy who looked on proudly at her student. "The people I fought and lost were weak."

Mira's mouth opened and closed unable to argue back at what was surprisingly a sound argument. "I…have nothing to say to that."

"Cause it's true." Lucy said with a devilish smile.

"Lucy, just stay far away until it's your turn to interview, please", Mira sighed.

"I never said yes!"


"I see you came Jason." Erza walked up to the enthusiastic man, ignoring the two arguing mages.

"Yeah, thanks for letting me interview you! Is it alright if I ask a few questions?"

"Sure, go ahead."

"Awesome! How many armors do you requip?"

"Over a hundred."

"COOL! Which one do you like the most?"

"There are numerous ones, but I think my favorite would be the bunny suit."

The man's eyes widened. "The-

"-Bunny suit?" Lucy choked out, trying her best to get her breathing back to normal after choking on her drink Mira bribed her with. Plue appeared out of nowhere and began patting her on the back to get her to breathe again.

Erza nodded not realizing the mistake she had made, "The ears are cute."

Then to show what she meant she requipped into said outfit, regretting it instantly when she saw the look of lust on a certain blondes usually goofy looking face.

"My mate looks delicious" Lucy chuckles, before feeling a slight pain on her head. "Ow, what the heck Aquarius?"

"Stop it perv!" Aquarius yelled still smacking the slayers head with a wadded up, ironically, weekly sorcerers' magazine. "What did I say about making me come out here, if not for battle?! Huh? Go back to your corner and stay there!"

"Ow, ow okay! Juts please Aqua stop, ow! Bosco was funner" the blonde mage grumbles.

"COOL! Favorite food?" Jason yelled, ignoring the weird interaction between mage and celestial spirit.

"Strawberry Cheesecake, I guess..."

"Virgo, we can make that right?"

"Yes, we can, and we have." The maid, who had appeared to keep an eye on her master on Aquarius's orders, said. Aquarius would've shown up herself, but she wasn't sure she would've been able to hold back and not drown the entire guild if she came out to stop the brat from doing something inappropriate again.

The man spotted Happy and ran over to him. "Happy! Why is your fur blue?"

"Cause I'm a cat." Happy wasn't sure if that was entirely true, but it was the best answer he could supply the weird reporter.

"Whoa, I thought it was because he was like a magical being, but that makes more sense!" Lucy commented.

"Lucy, you're so stupid" Erza chuckled.

Lucy paused in thought. Then with a devilish grin, shot finger guns at Erza saying, "Stupid for you."

"Ack." Erza choked on her smoothie, surprised at the smooth line. "Damn dumb demon."

"Excellent execution." Gray said.

"Tch…I could do better." Gajeel grumbled, while writing down Lucy's words.


Jason looked around the guild and his eyes widened at the mage he had just spotted. "The Salamander!"

"Who is it?" Natsu roared, throwing a table. "Which guy is the reporter?"

"Mason." Lucy pointed out, from her corner of the guild where she was coloring. Mira, no longer wanting Lucy to cause any more trouble, gave the girl paper and some crayons to draw with. Virgo offering ideas of what to draw every now and then to help keep her occupied.

"Natsu Dragneel!" Jason crowed, sprinting over. "The famous Salamander, I've been hoping to meet you!"

"You bastard!" Natsu got in his face. "You're always trashing my reputation! All you do is talk crap about me and the stuff I "destroy".

"COOL! COOL! COOOOOOOOOL!"

"You have style, man!" Jason declared proudly. "Can I shake your hand?"

"Get away from me!" Natsu shouted, smashing Jason in the face and sending him spinning.

"COOL!" Jason cheered, tumbling along the floor. "This is the first time I experienced such a handshake... I have to write this down!"

"Whoa that's a handshake…hey Gray come 'ere" Lucy shouted.

"No!" Gray yelled, dodging the blonde's advances. Virgo stepped in and grabbed Lucy by her collar dragging her back to her corner to continue drawing.

"Team Shadow Gear!" Jason found his new target. "Is it true you're in a love triangle?"

"No comment!" Jet and Droy chorused while Levy looked confused.

"Whoa Lil Levy I didn't know you were like that" Lucy said shocked, pausing in her drawing to look at her book worm friend in a new light. "Can you believe that Virgo?"

"Not at all princess. It's quite surprising." The maid said in her usual monotone voice.

"I AM NOT LIKE THAT LU-CHAN!" Levy cried, smacking the blonde insulted. Unfortunately, she was doing more harm to herself than to Lucy. "How the heck does Erza not injure her hand!" Levy cried holding her hand.

"OH MY GOSH IT'S THE ISHGAR DEMON!" Jason turned around facing the blonde who had gone back to drawing unaware of the reporter waiting for her to acknowledge his presence.

"Ishgar Demon, can I ask you some questions?!"

"No."

The entire guild stopped what they were doing, shocked to hear Lucy's reply. They would've thought she would've at least reconsidered. Jason on the other hand still had that excited face, but if you really looked, you could tell even he felt a little uncomfortable.

"Oh, uh not even one?"

Lucy looked to the blond reporter, then answered. "No."

"Excuse me for a moment Jason." Erza said, while dragging Lucy away.

Jason nodded to Erza, feeling a little awkward. He's never had a mage tell him no to being interviewed. It was a weird feeling.

A few minutes later saw both mages returning to the reporter with slightly flushed faces. While Lucy held glossy eyes and a dopey grin, Erza refused to meet anyone's eyes, her face matching the color of her hair.

"Lucy says she will answer your questions." Erza said blushing.

"Hmm yeah, whatever you want." Lucy said dazed.

"Cool, cool! Is it true this is your first interview ever?!"

"Hmm yeah, don't like talking to people." Lucy said still dazed from her encounter a few minutes prior.

"Cool! What an honor. So, how's it feels being one of the four gods of Ishgar?" Jason asked.

"I'm not a god, I'm a demon. Heh, stupid." Lucy finally sobering up, turned to her spirit to make fun of the reporter for being dumb and not being able to tell the difference. However, Virgo shook her head at her master and began to explain what the reporter meant.

"He doesn't mean an actual god princess. He is talking about the top four wizards' saint's princess. Considered the strongest of all Wizards. Had you attended the last meeting for wizard saints instead of Gemi-Lucy you would have known that you are now in their ranks as the third wizard Saint." Virgo relayed.

"But all they do is talk about boring stuff Virgo. You know I don't like being cooped up in a place full of strong wizards unless we're gonna fight" Lucy countered, shrugging at the guilds bewildered faces. Virgo nodded her head at her princess's lazy attitude.

"Yes, princess we all know that. Loke said to remind you that is one of the reasons why the Sultan of Desierto banned you from setting foot in his country."

"Nuhu, the Saltman said if I slept with his heirs, I could go back!" Lucy boasted, with a goofy grin on her face. "Not a bad deal, right Virgo?"

Virgo couldn't help but slap her face. Again, she recited back what Loke told her. "No princess, he said if you selected one of them to marry then you could come back."

"Oh, man that is awkward." Lucy chuckled, rubbing the back of her neck. "I slept with all three of his daughters and two of his sons…. well guess I'm never going back there. So s'all good." She turned to them all with a goofy grin and thumbs up.

Erza on the other hand was being held back from punching the day lights out of the dense girl who forgot to mention such an important detail. And after what we just did!

"Chill out Erza, look on the bright side she never married any of them, right?!" Cana grunted.

"Seriously Erza!" Gray yelled, as he began helping Cana and Mira hold Erza back from pummeling Lucy who still hadn't notice the angry red head.

"Yes, but it seems Love Rival slept with about five people while in the country Desierto, putting her lovers before Erza, up to- "

"Shut up Juvia!" Gray, Cana and Mira yelled.

Jason realizing, he had been forgotten about cleared his throat in hopes of gathering the attention of the wizard saint again.

This did in fact draw the attention of Lucy who had finally taken notice of the blonde still standing there before her. She looked at him weirdly before asking him why he was still standing there.

An awkward silence ran through the guild until Jason hurried to move past it. "I wasn't done with my questions."

"Really, man Lucifer was right, interviews take up a lot of time."

"Sorry, but I promise these are my last cool questions! Is it true you have dual magic? Why did you choose to come to Fiore? What did you do for fun in Alakitasia!"

"I don't know about dueling with it, but I spar with Natsu a lot, he's my best friend. And I was done with my quest in Alakitasia, so I came here to relax after my spirit told me about Fairy Tail." Lucy explained.

"And for my final question?" he asked anxiously.

"Uh, what did I do for fun there? Well I think the only times I took breaks was during mating season, which I guess in a way was fun because of I got to…sleep." ever so slowly Lucy stopped what she was saying to get up and begin walking away from the reporter.

"I just remembered Mason that I need to go pick up Plue from the hair cleaner." Before any one could say anything about Lucy's flimsy excuse for exiting her interview Lucy bolted out the guild, Erza hot on her heels, sword unsheathed and all.

Jason could only watch intrigued, the fact the second strongest mage in Fairy Tail was able to strike such fear in the Ishgar Demon, one of the 4 gods of Ishgar was SO COOL! The blonde's maid spirit simply shrugged before disappearing.

"Uh…will she be alright?" he asked.

"Pretty sure?" Gray answered. The rest of the guilds mumbling answers which did not reassure the reporter at all.

"COOL!"


"Where we going mate?" Lucy asked, as she allowed her mate to drag her by her cloak. Despite getting a head start from her mate, the scarlet mage was able to somehow catch up to Lucy, sucker punching the blonde and dragging her by her cloak around town.

"You're going to buy me a strawberry cake from the bakery shop down the street, then take me out to dinner."

"Why?"

"Because you are an idiot." Erza deadpans.

"Oh, okay then." Lucy says happily. While she knew she could get out of the position she was currently in, she felt too lazy to walk and allowed herself to continue to be dragged.

"Hey afterwards do you wanna go back to doing-

"That was a one-time thing!"

Lucy snickered, "So you say."


"I was wrong Layla, they're perfect for each other." Aquarius sweat dropped.


A few days after, a stranger in a tattered cloak stumbled across a discarded Weekly Sorcerer magazine. Picking it up and noticing Lucy's photo with her guild, the hooded man began to cry softly. "Lucy..." Lucy was in the middle of a walk to Fairy Hills to visit her mate when a familiar scent hit her nose. Not turning around the teen addresses the man.

"So troublesome." The blonde grumbled. "And just why in the hell are you following me Jude?"

Surprised at being caught already, the man had no choice but to come out of the shadows and address his daughter.

"Heartfilia Railways has been bought out..." Jude choked out. "I've lost my company, my home, my money... all of it. I used everything I had as collateral, you see. Running a business... really can turn a man into an utter fool."

Deciding to finally look the man in the face she turns around to address him correctly only to raise an eyebrow at his attire. "Why do you look like a raggedy old man?"

"I was betrayed by a lot of people."

Lucy scowled. "Tch. And mama's grave?"

"I had it moved here." Jude handed Lucy a slip of paper with an address. "It's kinda sad, but I feel like laughing... all my fortune, gone just like that. Everything I had achieved in those long years was lost in a single night. The money I worked so hard to earn that I threw away my family in the process! Bahahaha!"

"Well whadda ya want from me?" she asked confused.

Jude gave a sad smile. "I just wanted to see your face, Lucy."

"Hmm, nah that's not it." Lucy yawned tired of the man's lying. "What is it you really need?"

Jude stared at her in shock for a moment, before clearing his throat to answer her. "Well I suppose I might as well come out and say it then. I need money for my travels. Just a little until I make it to my destination."

Lucy scoffed, she was able to travel for years with the bare minimum, hardly any money with her, yet this man came to her with such a pitiful request. Lucy merely sighed at the man's plea.

"Whatever, I wanna try and sneak into my mates' room before it gets dark, so I'll have Virgo retrieve money for you."

Jude sweat dropped at his daughters' words.

"Well, this is a surprise." Jude observed. "I thought you'd tell me to leave and travel with what I have."

"Well, I was gonna, but then I thought about mama and what she woulda done and I didn't feel like making the one parent I did love sad." Lucy shot back.

"Oh...that makes sense." Jude looked away, trying to rid himself of the sting of the verbal jab.

Jude looked back to his only daughter and tried making small talk again. "So, I saw on a magazine you're a third wizard saint, that seems like a very high honor. Congratulations."

"Oh. Thanks. I'm still not really sure what Wizard Saints do, but everyone says it's a really important position." Lucy glanced at him.

He smiled at his daughter's denseness, which surprisingly incited a smile from her.

"So, what are you planning to do now?"

"I was thinking of joining a trade guild in Acalypha." Jude mused. "It's where I used to work before starting the Konzern…alongside your mother. Love and Lucky it was called."

"Really? I didn't know that."

Jude nodded, "Yes, your mother and I were both members there before we left to start our own business. That's how you got your name, the K was missing, and your mother thought Lucy was a beautiful name for you."

"Ha, you and mama named me after seeing a broken sign? Mama was the best!" Lucy said, laughing.

"Hmm, well in hindsight it may have been a bit hasty, but you must admit Lucy suits you well." He chuckled, enjoying seeing his daughter so carefree.

"Yeah, it does." Lucy couldn't help but smile at her father. "Me and Luce had matching nicknames thanks to you and mama!"

Jude remembering who Luce was smiled at his daughter, happy she had such a good guardian while she was away from him.

"Well, at least you have a plan. Here's that money you needed" Lucy said pointing to her pink maid spirit who had just returned with a bag of jewels.

"Whe-where did she go for the money, Lucy?"

"Oh well, Lucifer told me banks aren't safe, so to keep all my money close to me. That's why I have all my money with my spirits in the spirit world" Lucy said. "My money can't be stolen if it's in an entirely different world now can it?" she grinned.

"Isn't that the truth." Jude chuckled.

"Yup, now here's 200000 jewels to travel to where ya need to go. That should be more than enough."

Jude looked away sadly. "Yes. More than enough. Thank you, Lucy, I truly am grateful for this."

"Hmm. Just don't expect me to do this again" she said, shooting a peace sign as she walked off.

"Lucy…I promise the next time we see each other I'll be a better father" Jude whispered.

Lucy smiled at the words whispered from her father.

"I'll keep you to that…father.".


The next Morning

"GET OFF ME!" Erza yelled, after waking up feeling like she was on fire.

"BUT I WANNA CUDDLE!" Lucy whined.

"YOU'RE LIKE A DAMN INFERNO, WHO THE HELL WOULD WANNA CUDDLE WITH YOU?!"

"PLENTY OF PEOPLE!"

These seemed to be the wrong words to say as the next second Erza was advancing upon Lucy like a predator who had just found their prey.

"Lucy?" With her bangs covering both eyes Lucy was unable to decipher the look she was now seeing as Erza crawled atop her. It was frightening but also arousing. If this is how I die, then I'm okay with that!

"I'm so sorry Layla, Lucifer corrupted the brat." Aquarius sighed.

Lowering her mouth to Lucy's ear the knight mage whispered in a sickly-sweet voice that sent a shiver down the demon slayers spine, "Don't brag about other people sleeping with you to me."

Once Lucy felt the warm breath of her mates on her ear, she was a goner. Frozen in place with her eyes closed Lucy could no longer notice anything else but her mate.

Erza deciding she tortured the dumb demon enough, went to get off when she was pulled back down to the bed into Lucy's strong arms. "Oomph."

In a flash Erza was on her back with Lucy looking down at her mates surprised face with lustful eyes. From where Erza lay she couldn't help but notice how sharp Lucy's canines were and how close they were getting to her.

"Did you really think I would let you go after teasing me like that, mate?" Lucy growled, scraping her teeth along Erza's neck, eventually evolving into small nips. Slowly she began putting more pressure in her bites for her mate to feel pleasure, but not mark her, yet. If there was one thing Lucifer beat into Lucy it was that consent was important when marking your mate.

Erza tried speaking up to at least object to Lucy's claim, but all she could think about was how nice this felt.

With no objections, Lucy continued leaving small bites all over Erza's clear soft skin. The slight gasps from Erza only spurred Lucy on as she journeyed down Erza's sensitive skin with light nips.

"I was not tea-teasing." Erza breathed out, finally able to gather some coherent thoughts.

Lucy stopped what she was doing to look at her lover confused. "Huh? You weren't doing what Loke told me is called fore players?"

"No, you idiot." Erza breathily sighed. "And it's called foreplay."

"Oh, that's awkward." Lucy said chuckling. "…Ya wanna keep going?"

Erza rolled her eyes, deciding it was better to ignore her idiot demon's words, it was her fault after all for giving mix signals. "It's too early in the morning for this, I'm going back to bed."

"I'll join you!" Lucy exclaimed.

"Fine, just stay on your si- get your hand off my boob dumb demon."

"Right, right, sorry."

"It's still there."

"I thought that was a pillow." Lucy snickered.

"I swear to mavis." Erza groaned pushing the dense blonde off her bed. "You get the floor."


After Lucy had gone on ahead to change at her apartment, Erza continued her trek to the guild at a leisurely pace thinking about Lucy and the question she was constantly asked.

"Am I really thinking of accepting?" Before Erza could answer herself, she felt a shiver go down her spine, indicating something bad was going to happen.

"It has to do with the dumb demon, I just know it." She said shaking her head, entering the guild.

The guild was busy as usual, no one really paying any attention to Erza until their resident Dragon slayer opened his mouth.

"Whoa Erza! Did you and Lucy mate? You reek of her scent."

In that moment, Erza was hoping a huge catastrophe would occur creating a way out of her having to answer this. Unfortunately, nothing like that happened and she was forced to deal with the entire guild that was frozen in place, silenced by Natsu's words.

"Erza?" Mira asked blushing.

"No damn it, we did not mate, she just snuck into my bed again!" Erza yelled embarrassed.

The guild nodded their head understandingly. "Oh, makes sen-"

"That doesn't explain the love bites on your neck." Cana pointed out.

Erza froze in place, now this she did not plan for. Before she left her apartment, she had not noticed the marks, unable to really look at herself in the mirror in part because she was too busy trying to stop Lucy from groping her as she changed. "Damn demon."

"Oh, that's from when Erza teased me in the morning and made me think we were gonna have sex but then she told me we weren't, so I stopped but she still let me sleep in her bed…she even let me touch her boob." Lucy said casually at the table she just appeared at, by Gray and Natsu.

"That is a lie and you know it! You kept putting your hand on my breast claiming you were just trying to find a pillow!" Erza seethed.

"Yeah, your boobs are as soft as pillows, so I wasn't lying" Lucy chuckled fist bumping Natsu.

"Nice one Lucy!" Gray congratulated. The ice mage tossed an arm over the blonde leading her to the bar for a drink, all the while listening to her talk about how close she is to mating Erza. Natsu joining them.

"Oh, my Erza, you and Lucy seem to be making some progress in your relationship I see. You're even changing in front of each other." Mira giggled.

"Please, if you see her breaking into my apartment and spooning me when I'm asleep as progress then yes we're practically married Mira." Erza deadpanned.

Lucy, thanks to her exceptional hearing, overheard her mate speaking to Mira and was overjoyed her advances were working on Erza and couldn't wait to tell Natsu and even Gray now. Although she wasn't all that familiar with being married, she figured if Erza was mentioning it then it was worth looking into. The only couple she could remember were her parents, and even then, she wasn't sure what you did married.


"Okay whose job is it today to explain to Lucy that Erza is being sarcastic?" Loke said in front of Lucy's zodiacs.

In what looked like a conference room was all ten zodiacs and not to be left out silver keys. Surprisingly even the Spirit King made an appearance today. Their topic of conversation, Lucy of course.

"We are! Just last week I explained to Lucy the phrase when pigs fly, so I'm out!" Scorpio said.

Loke took note of that and looked back to his fellow spirits. "Okay, anyone else or are we going to have to draw straws.

"I say we leave it be and see how this plays out for Ebi." Cancer offered with a smile.

"Yeah, kinda wanna see what the brat is gonna do next." Aquarius shrugged.

"I too think it would be fun to see what my human friend does." The Spirit King says chuckling.

Loke rolled his eyes at Lucy's two longest owned spirits. Of course, they would want that, while they cared deeply for her, they also loved to mess around with her. However, hearing that from the big man himself, he couldn't help but facepalm. Some king you are.

"Well fine, but we still have to explain sarcasm!"

"May I suggest having Levy-Sama add that to her curriculum?" Capricorn said.

Loke paused for a moment before nodding his head. "Yeah, alright."


"Attention, everyone." Makarov ordered. "At the guild master's meeting an important matter had come up discussing the dark guild Oración Seis. It seems they're up to something. We decided that this development cannot be ignored, and that someone has to deal with them."

Gray groaned from his spot at the bar. "Please tell me we didn't get stuck with that job?"

The old master looked to the ice mage with a serious look in his eye, shaking his head. While even he didn't want to deal with this type of mission, the threat they were dealing with was far too big to ignore and pass onto someone else.

"Normally that would be the case, but because the enemy is too powerful for even us, we at the council have come up with an alternative to combat that."

The entire guild erupted into whispers curious as to what that could be. Some thought that the guild master would be the one to go after the Oración group while others concluded that they would just send Lucy out, but tossed that idea out since their Master said that the group was too strong for everyone here. Little did they know that sending Lucy out to defeat the Oración Seis was the councils plan, they just hid it behind the plan their Master was about to reveal.

The master having heard at least half the theories decided to put a stop to all of them and finally explain what would happen.

"If we alone moved against them, we'd attract the attention of the other members of the Balam Alliance, such as Grimoire Heart, which is exactly what we don't want."

"Then what are we doing Master?" Erza asked, curious as to what other option they could have.

"So as not to raise suspicion on us or anyone else we will be forming an alliance of our own!" Makarov exclaimed. "Lamia Scale, Blue Pegasus, Fairy Tail, and Cait Shelter will be combining forces." he explained, as Reedus drew the guild symbols in the air.

As the entire guild listened intently to the guild master speak everyone grew nervous. Weirdly enough they felt something was off. With no random outbursts erupting around them or explosions occurring they realized that someone very important was missing, and immediately halted the meeting about the Oración Seis in order to find Lucy.

"My children, where in the hell is Lucy, this is an important guild meeting she should not be missing?" Makarov asked worried she had gone and got herself arrested.

"She's over here at the bar, Gramps!" Gray yelled, poking the blonde to see if she was alive, worried at the way she wasn't moving.

"Don't worry she's just asleep!" Natsu said.

"Wh-it's barely ten, why is she already asleep?"

Loke popped out of his key before bowing in apology. "Sorry gramps, she ate a bit too much and got sleepy. You won't be hearing from her until at least tomorrow morning."

The master and the rest of the guild face faulted to the floor. How the hell was it possible that such a strong mage was capable of such a weird feat.

"Loke, are you sure you can't wake her up? This meeting is very important, and Lucy is a key player to it." The master pleaded.

"Don't worry Gramps we got this!" Natsu and Gray yelled.

Loke ignored the two mages who were working tirelessly to wake up Lucy and shrugged. "Don't worry, if the plan includes her just take her along with you guys. Long as fighting is involved, she'll be fine going."

The guild master sighed, realizing it was no use arguing and accepted his terms. Besides it seems it was useless trying to get the blonde to wake up, if Natsu and Gray banging pots and pans near the girl's ears and even mentioning Erza walking around naked were any indication.

"Stop saying that idiots!" Erza yelled.

"In that case, I ask that you stay out so you can hear what we will be doing and relay it to Lucy when she wakes up."

Loke nodded, "Yeah, I can do that."

"Very well. As I already said we are going after the Oración Seis along with three other guilds. Lamia Scale, Blue Pegasus, and Cait Shelter."

If anyone had been paying attention, they would have seen Loke smile at the mention of Cait Shelter and the twitch of movement by Lucy, causing both Gray and Natsu to cheer for almost waking the girl up.

"As for who will be going to meet the other guilds to help with this mission, I have chosen Natsu, Happy, Gray, Erza and Lucy to represent Fairy Tail." he explained.

"Well if that's all I'll be off. Take care of Lucy, Erza." Loke said winking.

"What?!"


"Augh, where-I" Lucy groaned. When Lucy had finally woken up after her nap, she noticed immediately that something was very wrong. And by that she means she felt sick, like she's gonna throw up sick. Lucy turned her head to the left, very slowly, and noticed her partner was in the same boat, or rather train cart, as her.

"Kill…me" Natsu moaned.

"I'll...kill you…kill me?" Lucy offered.

"Man, you two are such embarrassments to Fairy Tail" Gray scoffed.

"Shaddup. I... woke here" Lucy mumbled. "Mate…help..."

Erza sighed, but nevertheless abided to the blondes' request. It was the least she could do since the blonde was essentially forced on this mission. "Come here then."

Lucy fell to the floor of the cart and crawled onto her mates' lap. "Now...what."

"Lay your head down and be quiet." She sighed.

"Got-hmmm" before Lucy could even finish her sentence her eyes closed, and a serene look appeared on her face as she rested her head on her mate's lap. Both Erza and Gray were shocked to see the wizard saint fall asleep so fast.

"Well damn Erza, you really got the magic touch huh" Gray chuckled.

"Shut up."

"What about me?" Natsu moaned, interrupting the twos banter.


"Why are we here?" Lucy muttered, looking around the large hall.

Erza frowned. "We're using Master Bob's summer house as a base of operations for the mission which you would know had you not fallen asleep. I mean really."

A light suddenly shone from the ceiling. "Ladies and gentlemen of Fairy Tail." A light-clad figure started, flanked by two others. "It is a pleasure to finally meet you. We are the delegation from Blue Pegasus, the Trimens!"

"I'm Hundred Night Hibiki." The tall boy in the middle announced.

"I'm Holy Night Eve." The youngest of them added.

"I'm Empty Night Ren." The third one finished.

Lucy wasn't sure what was going on since she was asleep the whole ride here, but she figured if this was how people were introducing themselves then she might as well go along with it.

"I'm Ishgar Demon Lucy." Lucy added tossing her cloak over her shoulder, throwing off the Blue Pegasus's.

"Ehh?!" the three men said looking to the girl.

"That is Salamander Natsu, Ice Maker Gray, and Titania Erza." Lucy said dramatically.

"Oooh, well done, nice introduction Lucy." Natsu said clapping.

"Yeah, I mean I only wish I had a better title but excellent execution." Gray applauded.

"Thanks, I thought yours up on the fly Gray." Lucy boasted. "But don't worry we can work on a better name for you later!"

"Just once I'd like to go someplace where she doesn't embarrass us" Erza whispered.


As the Trimens got back on track they set their eyes on the beautiful mage in the middle of the room. Unaware of the blonde who was courting her.

Lucy looked on curious as the Trimens swarmed around Erza. While the demon inside her raged, wanting to break free and destroy those three, the rational part of her said she had nothing to worry about. Besides mama wouldn't want her to kill anyone just because her mate was getting a little attention. This was the price to pay for having such a beautiful mate.

"You are every bit as beautiful as the rumors say." Hibiki purred.

"A pleasure to meet you, Titania." Eve spoke.

"Please step this way, princess." Ren said looking away.

Ren turned to Lucy who was nodding her head to their comments. She couldn't help but agree with the triplet's compliments towards Erza. Hence why she knew she had to keep her demon side tamed since this would probably happen often.

Lucy looked to Ren who was staring at her curiously. "Yeah, Erza's pretty hot right. I'm courting her so she'll be my mate, but she keeps rejecting as if I don't know she secretly wants me" she chuckles, throwing an arm around the dark-skinned mage neck.

Instantly, Ren begins to sweat at the heat emitting off the blonde.

"Eh?" The other two looked at the knight mage shocked instantly. Hibiki and Eve shook their head in disbelief at the other girls' words. For a moment they thought they heard the dopey girl admit to courting the Titania.

Lucy winked at the other two boys with a devilish grin that promised pain, "Yeah that's right, so you're allowed to look, but don't touch got it. She's all mine."

"That's right, Erza is Lucy's!" Natsu warned. It was only right he help defend his best friends' mate. Slayer's stick together after all.

"Yeah, she let Lucy touch her boob!" Gray revealed. "They're pretty serious."

"That is not true, she touched it of her own volition!" Erza yelled, a deep blush across her face. "And I am not Lucy's."

"Pfft, you still liked it." Lucy chuckled, to the scarlet haired girl. Erza gained a tick mark on her head at the blondes' words.

"Besides if you're not mine then why haven't you taken off my mating bracelet huh?" she said tossing a wink towards Erza.

"I... will discuss that with you later." Erza blushed, not wanting to get into the fact she hasn't taken off Lucy's dumb mating bracelet.

"My friends." A new voice started, causing Erza to shiver. "I think that is quite enough, yes?"

"To think you would be participating in this..." Erza broke into a sweat as a short man walked down the stairs, completely forgetting about Lucy's words.

"I have longed to see you, my honey!" The man declared. "Worry not, Ichiya is here for you!"

The Trimens bowed before the man coming down the stairs. "Ichiya sir, we apologize we didn't know Miss Erza was yours!"

"Wh- I just told you she was mine?" Lucy said, confused as to how those three could misunderstand her. Lucy looked to Gray and Natsu and asked them if she wasn't clear enough in her intentions with Erza.

"Pretty clear." Gray said.

"Yeah, didn't you hear? Erza is Lucy's!" Natsu warned.

"Yeah, you heard them! Erza's mine!" Lucy shouted.

"Ahh, your perfume is still delectable as always, Erza. It pleases me to be able to work alongside my lovely Erza!" Ichiya declared, ignoring Gray and the other's for sniffing the knight's hair.

"There he goes again!" Happy yells. Gray, Natsu and Happy decided they didn't want to be nearby if something happened, and instead took cover in a faraway corner much to the confusion of the Trimens.

Erza sighed. She wasn't expecting to have to deal with Ichiya during this mission, and just knew if he continued to act the way he did there would be problems between Blue Pegasus and Fairy Tail, or more accurately a goofy blonde demon and Blue Pegasus. However, before she could speak up to note her worries, the exact person she was worried about did before she could stop them.

"Back off weird dude, Erza is mine alright. Only I can smell her and enjoy looking at her hot body, got it?" Lucy growled. immediately pushing the short man off her mates' body.

She wasn't going to do anything at first, but as soon as she saw the weirdo begin to sniff her woman a fire lit in her body that promised pain to the weird looking dude. Perhaps this is what Luce meant when he said she would begin to get tearreetoriul over Erza.

"Lucy-Sama, I think you mean territorial." Capricorn chuckled.

"Yeah that!" Lucy thoughtbefore going towards Erza.

"Gah- Lucy!" Erza yelled, before being pulled into Lucy's body possessively.

"Oh, and who might you be" Ichiya asks eyeing Lucy, "No matter, your perfume does not interest me."

Erza realizing this was only going to get worst the longer she let this go on decided to end it before the two mages could hurt anyone.

"Please stop, we're not here to fight."

Lucy ignored Erza to stare slack jawed at the shorter man. Once she regained her bearings, she pushed Erza behind her and stared down the man. "Hey man I smell plenty good! I just got a shower like, let's see if Natsu came over that day and we sparred that day then, three nights ago!"

"I think I'm gonna throw up" Hibiki gagged.

"Is she really courting Miss Erza?" Eve asked Gray.

"Yup", the ice mage nodded amused at this turn of events.

"And she's accepting her advances?" Ren asked.

"Totally, Erza's got the hots for Luce!" Natsu yelled shooting a thumbs up at his best friend. While Natsu was also a little unsure at times about Erza and Lucy's courting process, he fully believed that his friend would prevail in the end and score Erza. What kind of partner would he be if he didn't?

"Lushie's gonna win Erza over!" Happy said happily.


Leon was expecting many things from the event he was enlisted into. However, the sight before him as he entered the mansion was not one of them.

"Of course," He watched in morbid fascination as Lucy tried to attack Ichiya who continued to call Erza his wife, clearly angering the taller girl. It seemed the only reason Lucy was failing to reach her goal was due to her entire team holding her back. Finally, able to tear his eyes away from that debacle, he decided to announce himself to those here, only to see the rest of the party hiding behind a love couch in the middle of the room.

"Well it seems the three stooges have banded together again…as well as Erza Scarlet. You must be the ones chosen as delegates from Fairy Tail." He looked them over."

Gray looked to where he heard the familiar voice and froze in shock. "Wait a sec. Leon! You joined Lamia Scale?"

"Indeed." Leon said with a smirk. "They are a much better guild than Fairy Tail if you ask me."

"Now that's a lie!"

"Oh hey! Natsu, Happy look, it's Lemon!" Lucy waved.

"Sup Lemon!" Natsu yelled.

"Hmm lemon would go well with my fish." Happy said as drool came down his face.

"Dear god." Leon mumbled. "And she's a wizard saint."

"I, Sherry, have been reborn for the sake of love!" Sherry proclaimed, waving her hands vigorously at Lucy.

"Yeah that's cool Cherry, but you're blocking me from killing that little monster who keeps tryna touch my girl." Lucy said, looking to where Ichiya was trying to hug Erza.

"Not your- oh whatever" Erza sighed.

A tall man with an orb-tipped staff sweat dropped when he walked in and saw Leon arguing with Gray, Sherry yelling at Lucy who was trying to get to Ichiya who was still advancing towards Erza, who was waving a sword to keep Ichiya away from her. Natsu all the meanwhile was challenging the Trimens to a fight.

"Enough!" He roared, silencing everyone. "We are here to form an alliance and defeat Oración Seis! This is no time to be fighting amongst ourselves!"

"Jura..."

"Laura?" Lucy frowned. "Who the heck is that? And why does she think she can tell me what to do?"

"Lucy…it's Jura, not Laura. And he's one of the ten wizard saints also in a guild." Erza explained embarrassed.

"Indeed, Miss Lucy." Jura inclined his head. "I apologize for my rudeness. It's truly an honor to meet a mage of your caliber. I've heard stories of your travels. For someone your age to be able to defeat some of the strongest dark guilds in Alvarez is truly amazing."

"Hmm, it was pretty tough, so I can't take all the credit since my friends helped me out when things got especially crazy." she chuckled, patting her glowing keys.

Jura on the other hand, stared at the girl curiously, for someone so powerful she didn't flaunt it at all. In fact, she seemed quite humble about her accomplishments. Most mages of her caliber would flaunt their power, but the one in front of him didn't even seem to acknowledge how strong she is.

"Well then, now that three of the guilds are now assembled. All that remains is the delegation from Cait Shelter." Jura explained.

"I heard they were only sending one person." Ichiya told everyone.

"A single mage?" Natsu was shocked. "How crazy powerful is that person?"

"No way, Cait Shelter is coming?!" Lucy shouted happily, remembering that was the guild her little Wendy was from.

"Yes Lucy, did Loke not debrief you at all of the mission?" Erza asked.

"He might've, I don't know." Lucy shrugged.

"Man, you're one of a kind Lucy" Gray chuckled.

Lucy shrugged. "Well, yeah I'm Lucy. Anyway, now that I know the last guild, I promise you the person coming is strong. Oh, and adorable."

The entire room sweat dropped at the girl's words. That's so vague!


A moment later a small girl ran into the room and promptly tripped over the flat carpet, attracting everyone's attention. "Owwie..."

"She's supposed to be powerful?!" Natsu, Gray and Erza yelled. Lucy was too busy practicing how she would greet Wendy, to notice the topic of discussion had arrived.

"Um..." She stammered, standing up. "I-I'm sorry I'm late... I'm from Cait Shelter. My name is Wendy." She bowed shyly. "It's a pleasure to work with you all."

"A child?"

"A girl?"

"Wendy..." Natsu frowned.

"Oh, and this is my cat Charle!" Wendy said with a bright smile.

"Hmm, good day."


"Plue, when Wendy gets here, I have to look cool. Not that I don't already, but like cooler than normal okay." Lucy instructed, unaware that the person in topic had already arrived.

"Pun Puuun!"


"Ok, all the guilds have assembled." Jura observed calmly.

Sherry scowled. "An offensive operation like this and they send a single kid and a cat in a dress? What is Cait Shelter playing at?"

"Excuse me, but I'll have you know we are more than capable of representing Cait Shelter." Charle huffed.

Wendy clenched her fists nodding, " I know I don't look like much, but I've trained a lot. I've worked hard on my offense magic so you don't need to worry about me not carrying my own weight", Wendy stuttered. "Oh and my support magic is really strong and will be useful to everyone... so please don't leave me out completely!" She gritted, looking down.


Lucy and Plue had finally decided on what pose they were going to do when a familiar scent popped up. At once Lucy turned around with a giant grin on her face at the sight of the girl she's missed dearly since parting with her all those years ago.

"Honestly..." Charle sighed in exasperation. "It's that timid attitude of yours that makes people disregard you! Don't you remember what that dense fool said all those years ago about never doubting your strength" Charle scoffed.

"Hey dumb cat, I'm not a dense fool!"

To say Wendy and Charle were surprised to hear that goofy voice from all those years ago was an understatement. As soon as Wendy saw the girl, she considered her big sister, scar beneath her eye and all, tears began to run down her eyes, knees close to giving way as she got to see the person who helped her get stronger.

"My apologies." Erza smiled. "We were a little surprised, but I'm sure no one meant any insult. We look forward to working with you. Wendy?" Erza said, slightly confused at the sight of the little girl rushing past her towards her dopey blonde. It seemed her apology went unnoticed as the Cait Shelter mage headed straight for the cloak wearer tackling her to the ground.

My goofy blonde! Erza mentally cried. Since when has she been my goofy blonde!?

"LUUUUCY!" Wendy cried. "It's really you. Look Charle!"

"Indeed, it is. She seems more rugged then the last time we saw her." Charle said as she noticed the numerous scars all over the older girl. However, she had the same cloak on which seemed to somehow be fluttering in the building. Looking down, Charle saw the source was a small white snowman holding a fan to give her cloak flight.

"The fool would do something like this." Charle chuckled.

"I missed you so much Lucy!" Wendy smiled. "I knew you'd keep your promise to me!" Then with strength even Lucy didn't expect the smaller girl to have, she picked her up off the ground hugging Lucy as tight as she could.

"Pfft, course I would, like I'd ever forget about my adorable lil' dragon Windy." Lucy said goofily. "Man, you sure have gotten strong." Lucy acknowledged as she kicked her feet back and forth off the ground.

"Windy? I thought her name was Wendy?" Gray asked, finding it amusing that such a small girl could tackle Lucy who didn't even budge at a barrel thrown at her.

"It is, but the fool thinks Wendy is named after her magic." Charle sighed. "And Wendy has actually grown fond of being called Windy. She thinks of it as a special nickname from her."

"Yes, that seems to happen a lot for Lucy" Erza smiled.


Natsu watched as Lucy showed Wendy her newly acquired keys and what each one did. The smile on the smaller girls face continued to widen as she showed another gold one. "Wendy... I feel like I've heard this name somewhere before..."

"Wait, how does Lucy know Wendy?" Natsu asked.

"When Luce first left me, my original plan was to go to the Alvarez Empire, but I had no idea where to go. I was still blind in my left eye and my sense of direction was crap. Which is why I was super lucky to run into my lil' dragon while searching for a cave because she took me in and even fixed up my eye!"

Wendy blushed at Lucy's praise. "Lucy stayed at my guild for a few months and even trained me after I asked her for help to make me stronger. It really hurt, but I don't regret it, because I'm much stronger because of Lucy. She even promised me we would meet again when she was done with her quest and we did!" Wendy said smiling.

Those listening couldn't help but smile at the smaller girls' words. Meanwhile Lucy was curled up in a ball hugging Plue, doing her best not to cry. "Wendy's too kind!"

"Pun, Puuun!"

"Hey, you said Lucy thinks Wendy is named after her magic, just what is her magic?" Natsu asked. There was a distinct smell coming from the girl that intrigued him.

"Oh, I have sky dragon slayer magic.' Wendy said.

"Cool! Another slayer like me and Luce." Natsu cheered. "Wait, so does that mean your dragon disappeared on the year x777 too?!"

"Yeah, Grandeeney left me one morning but I still don't know why. Who was your dragon?!' Wendy asked.

Natsu nodded his head, "Mine was Igneel, the fire dragon King. I've been searching for him since he disappeared!"

"Lucy promised to search for Grandeeny while she searched for Lucifer during her travels." Wendy said smiling. "Which reminds me, Uh..Lucy, you wouldn't have happened to find anything did you?" Wendy mumbled.

Lucy rubbed the back of her neck, nervously. "Sorry Windy but no one had ever heard of your dragon. Oh, but I did run into this dude who didn't like dragons and was super mean! Once he found out I was searching for Grandeeney he began attacking me! Now that was one fun fight. That's how I got this scar on my back see!"

Everyone quickly looked away in horror at the three slash marks on the blondes back. How one could be so nonchalant at such a wound was beyond them. It looked like an extremely painful scar to have.

"Lucy! What kind of monster did that?!" Erza yelled. "No better question how the hell did we never notice that?"

"No monster, but man. But then again, he might've also been a slayer. It was a crazy fight. And to be honest I'm not sure, it's always been on my back."

Everyone stayed quiet after that. This girl truly was a demon.


"Ok…so now what?" Lucy asked, tossing an arm around the smaller girls' shoulders. The smaller girl trying and failing to hold back her laughter at the older girl being so protective of her.

From what we've encountered there are six members. Each one with different magic." Hibiki explained.

"Well yeah…their called Oración Seis for a reason. Seis, six. Number of members is six" Lucy deadpanned.

Hibiki and the others looked at the blonde in surprise that she knew that, and they didn't. For some reason they felt like a failure after hearing that.

"Err yes, well we don't really know much about their powers except for the girl who has celestial powers like Lucy and the other who happens to have dragon slayer powers". Hibiki says downtrodden.

Lucy looked at the man dressed in a suit curiously before she opened her mouth. She never wanted to be here which means the faster she gets this mission done with the faster she can take a nap.

"It's artificial."

The group looked at Lucy confused. "What?" Erza asked.

Lucy rubbed the back of her head, she really wanted to go home. "The dragon slayer dude, his is artificial 2nd gen. Another has speed so he's not really that strong. Then there's the guy who has earth magic. And a guy named daylight, sorry thanks Gemini, Midnight, who's probably the trickiest guy. His magic can reflect magic or something like that. But the main dude is the strongest of them all. Not as strong as me of course, but yeah."

The entire group stared at the blonde who was currently playing patty cake with the little girl from Cait Shelter after mindlessly revealing the magics of the rest of those in the Oración Seis. Shock written all over their face.

"Lucy. How do you know all this if you only fought the girl member of Oración Seis?" Gray asked.

Lucy paused her game with Wendy, huffing. "Gemini was the chick's old key. I just asked them about the members, and they told me all I needed to know about them."

"Wow Lucy, you're so cool!" Wendy said.

"Aww, thanks Windy." Lucy said.


"Well now that we have an idea of what we're going up against, what's the game plan?" Leon asked Lucy.

Despite her denseness it seemed all four guilds were relying on Lucy for a battle strategy against the Oración Seis. Being hailed as one of the deadliest wizards across the west and in the top three of Wizard Saints, the group of wizards figured she had to have some sort of strategy to go along with her magical prowess.

However, it seemed Lucy was too busy telling Wendy stories about her travels for her to really notice everyone waiting for her to speak. It took getting smacked by Erza for them to have finally gotten Lucy's attention.

"The heck guys?! Didn't you see me speaking with Windy?!" Lucy growled.

"Yes, and while we're sorry to cut your conversation short, we need to know if you have any idea as to how we should combat the Oración Seis?" Jura asked.

"Why are you asking me?" Lucy asked dumbly.

"Lucy, you've literally fought dozens of dark guilds by yourself and won. You have to have had some sort of strategy going in, right?" Gray asked.

Lucy tapped her chin in thought, looking back to her ventures. Her face brightened at a past memory with her father. "Well I once had a lesson with Lucifer where he taught me how to overcome opponents who were stronger than me."

The group looked at Lucy waiting for more information, when none was forthcoming, they had Erza coax the girl for more information.

"And that was?" Erza asked, already so tired of this mission. They haven't even fought anyone and already Erza wanted to sleep, what was Lucy doing to her?

"Oh, just act stronger than you really are. Intimidating your opponent goes a long way you know." Lucy said sagely.

The mages face faulted to the ground in disbelief. This was the girl who defeated one of the strongest dark guilds in Alvarez. How she ever survived alone is beyond their comprehension.

"Uh, let's see he also said to make sure you always have a backup plan in case your first plan fails horribly because that will happen." Lucy nodded. "There was also one other thing he said to do but I can't remember what it was exactly."

"Always hope for the best Lucy-Sama" Capricorn said.

"Oh yeah thanks Cap. Always hope for the best!" Lucy shouted happily.

Lucy's teammates as well as the rest of the occupants sweat dropped at her words. The only one not surprised by her words was Wendy who couldn't help giggling at her role models words.

"We're going to die." Sherry groaned.

"Of fun!" Lucy yelled.


"Is that really how you beat all those guilds, by pretending you were stronger than you actually were?" Hibiki asked.

Lucy stared at Hibiki with a serious look. "I'll be honest in the beginning yeah, that was a key part of it. But as time passed, I got stronger, my magic becoming far more powerful that I no longer had to use those tactics. In fact, that guy I told you I fought with, I think he's the only person I've ever encountered who could truly stand on par with me, and even than I had some trouble."

Everyone looked at the Lucy in shock. Just how strong was this enemy that could stand against Lucy.

Lucy smiled widely, revealing her fangs, "It also helped that I didn't really care whether anyone lived or died when I fought them."

The entire group fell silent for a moment as they Lucy's words sink in. Lucy truly did live up to her name Ishgar Demon.

"Ow." Lucy yelped rubbing her shin that was just kicked.

"Bad Lucy. You scared everyone." Wendy scolded, ignoring everyone's looks of shock and awe at her bold action.

Lucy looked to Wendy apologetically. "Sorry Wendy."

"Well, we've wasted enough time talking. It's time we left in search of the Oración Seis, plan or not" Leon coughed.

"Man, worry not for I will steer the Cristina from above for aerial support!" Ichiya said while posing. Feeling everyone had enjoyed his pose enough he hurried off towards where their ship was to prepare for takeoff, unaware of the oncoming attack about to happen.

Lucy looked to the other ice user from across the room shrugging. "Yeah sure. Not like I'm the one in charge…actually who is in charge?"

Everyone stood around looking at each other before leaving the building awkwardly. Leave it to the person with the IQ of Happy to point out something they should've had figured out way before they even started discussing the mission.


One by one the guild members from different guilds ran out towards the forest to begin their search for the Oración Seis. Fairy Tail was in front with Natsu and Lucy leading, Wendy by her side of course, while Blue Pegasus trailed behind them and Lamia Scale coming in behind.

Jura was just about to join the band of misfits when vines began to wrap around the wizard saint catching him off guard and choking him. "Ugh..."

He fell to his knees, unable to pull at the vines that bound his arms and legs together. He tried to activate his earth magic before he could pass out, already on the verge of seeing spots. His vision slowly blurred as he saw someone step in front of him.

"Heh." The attacker smirked as the man collapsed, unconscious. "That was easy. Jura of the Ten Saints... what a pathetic title for a pathetic man.


"I can see it!" Natsu cheered. "The woods!"

"I can see birds!" Lucy said high fiving a confused but still happy Wendy.

"Lucy, please shut up." Erza groaned.

The group looked up as Christina's shadow fell over them. So far everything seemed to be going according to plan since Ichiya was right over them providing them cover from the air. Their excitement soon turned to horror when several areas of the ship exploded, and the entire thing plummeted into the forest.

"What's going on?" Leon scowled, "That wasn't part of the plan."

"What plan, I thought we were winging this?" Lucy whispered to Wendy.

Charle shook her head before explaining what exactly they were supposed to be doing to the dense fool. A determined glint in her eye appearing as she now became the fearsome Ishgar Demon.

Oh yeah, air support from perfume guy.

Gray frowned when several silhouettes walked out of the smoke, quickly putting him on edge. Wendy whimpered and clutched Lucy's hand tightly. Lucy aware of the danger in front of them made sure to pull the girl closer towards her, because if there was one person she was not allowing to be hurt, it was her precious Wendy. Her mate would be fine for now without her protection.

"Do-don't worry Lucy...I-I'll protect you." Wendy stuttered.

Lucy stared at Wendy in awe, squeezing her hand back. Wendy was clearly frightened by what was occurring and even though she knew Lucy was far stronger than her she still wanted to try and protect the older girl. It honestly warmed Lucy's rugged heart.

Gah, too pure!

"All right lil dragon, I'll hold you to that." Lucy grinned.

Seven people then stepped out of the dense smoke dramatically. Their dark and ominous illusion however was broken by a lone mage who began a coughing fit because of the smoke.

"Ack, ahh, ack cough!" Lucy bent down low enough for Wendy to pat her back and help her get her breath back. Unaware of the awkward tension set upon the two groups.

"Err…Oración Seis!" Sherry gasped, getting things back on track.

"Hey who's the new guy? You guys recruit because you realize how weak you are or something? Understandable since your lame guild consists of a lame speedster, a wannabe dragon slayer, some lame-o called midnight, and a two-bit celestial mage?" Lucy said after she finished getting over her coughing fit.

Those in the light alliance face faulted onto the floor.

"Oh god no, not her again." A feminine voice groaned. "I could barely handle her stupidity once."

"You couldn't even handle me the first time. Why do you think I have your keys? Actually, how are you even here?" Lucy asked.

"Oooh, burn!" Natsu, Gray and Happy heckled.

"I traded in my old magic for a new one." Angel explained, with a bright blush embarrassed.

Despite asking the question, Lucy ignored the girl and went back to making sure Wendy was okay, aggravating the platinum haired girl. "What the hell, you asked me a question then you don't even listen to me when I answer! You're so rude!" Angel growled, stomping her foot in anger.

The Oración member turned to her guild members with a dangerous glint in her eye. It immediately put them all on edge.

"How the hell do you put up with this girl?!"

"Because she's Lucy." Natsu said as if that was the answer to everything. The other Fairy Tail members and Wendy included nodded their head in agreement. Lucy had a sort of charm to her that allowed her to be such an idiot and it not really bother them. Did it get frustrating at times for them, sure, but in the end seeing that goofy grin on her face always made it worth it.

Angel looked at them all baffled before walking back to her group. She didn't think it was worth trying to figure out that weird guild nor the celestial mage who was with them.

"I am Altor and you're all bugs waiting to be squashed." The one beside Angel mused, watching the crowd.

"Hey, don't call Windy a bug, she's a majestic lil' dragon, you bastard!" Lucy yelled. However, it was this momentary lapse in judgement that was needed for Racer the speedster of the Oración Seis to rush by and try to punch Lucy into the ground. However instead of that happening, he instead rushed in punching Lucy's toned stomach, effectively breaking his hand while crashing into the blonde wall.

"Fuuck!" Racer cried, from where he lay on the ground while holding his motionless hand. His guild looking on slightly worried but also curious as to what was going to happen to their member next.

"Did you really think you could get one over on me?" Lucy chuckled darkly at the downed seis member, slowly lifting her leg up she stepped on his other hand effectively breaking it.

"Ahhh, stop! Please." Racer pleaded.

"Why, you weren't going to stop when you tried punching me in the stomach." Lucy said. Lifting her leg up again, Lucy this time aimed for one of Racers legs, even those in the Oración Seis couldn't help but watch in horror at their guild member being tortured.

"Crack!"

"Help! Ahhh, please help, it hurts!"

"Lucy, stop this instant!" Erza commanded.

Lucy turned around with a raised eyebrow. "Hmm. Why mate? These guys are dark mages, they'd do the same in a heartbeat." Lucy reasoned.

"You are scaring Wendy." Erza grounded out, hoping that would be enough to stop Lucy from continuing this torture session.

Lucy turned around in horror at her mate's words. Looking to where Wendy was, she saw that Erza was indeed right, Wendy was currently looking at Lucy with fear in her eyes.

"Wah! I'm sorry Wendy, I didn't mean to scare you, please forgive me! I promise I'll do anything to make it up to you!" Lucy said bowing on the ground to the little girl, ignoring everything and everyone around her.

Wendy looked at Lucy and immediately saw the girl she looked up to. While she was still scared, she couldn't help but laugh at the older girl bowing in front of her and begging for her forgiveness. "Okay, Lucy I forgive you." Wendy giggled.

"Yay!"

"Man, remind me to never piss Lucy off." Gray said, rubbing his hands. The others near him cringed shaking their head in agreement too busy staring at the crying dark mage on the ground. They weren't exactly sure what to do with him now.

Lucy then looked at the downed man and pushed him to the side out of Wendy's eyesight. Ignoring his groaning, she looked back to those standing opposite her. "Uh, well yeah. Who's next, the fake dragon slayer" she chuckled.

"Uh, Brain?" Cobra called.

"Oh, you seem like a troublesome pest." Brain said eyeing the blonde. Just looking at her he could sense the immense power coming from her. And that display of ruthlessness was rather unnerving even for him.

"I guess I'll just rid of you first." He observed, focusing green energy in his staff's skull. "Dark Capriccio!"

Lucy's eye twitches at the dark energy heading towards her. "Uh, what a drag."

Acting quickly Lucy pushed Wendy out of harm's way, taking the brunt of the hit which sent her through the dense woods and smashing through numerous trees.

"Lucy!" Wendy cried.

"Dumb demon!"

"Luce!" Natsu yelled.

"Hmm, it seems the mages they've sent out are nothing worth my time. In that case, go forth Oración and take out these weaklings."

"Try as you might but it's useless to fight us." Cobra bragged.

"Says you!" Erza yelled, rushing towards the dragon slayer. He easily dodged the woman's slash, slamming her down with a downwards kick.

"Too easy, I can hear your every move."

Erza looked on confused at the slayer's words. Hear my moves?

Brain smirked, turning gravity against the others crushing them into the ground, "Take care of the rest of them."

Hot-Eye took advantage of the mages position and with a simple hand gesture twisted the ground beneath them.

Within seconds all guild members were falling into the sunken ground, locking in place all Blue Pegasus, Lamia Scale and Fairy Tail.

"Happy, help me out here!" Natsu yelled. Taking a page from Lucy, Natsu utilized his flames to help him out of the ground and had Happy fly him towards Hot Eye.

"Fire Dragons Brilliant Flame!" With Natsu's flames getting a direct hit on the earth user, he was able to right the ground, releasing everyone.

"Well, you may have taken Hot-Eye out, but I can still hear your fear" Cobra grinned. "It makes this fight even more enjoyable."

"I think one of them is sleeping..." Eve muttered, heading towards the crouched man sitting on a floating carpet. Within five seconds of his observation Eve was sent flying into a tree by some force surrounding the sleeping mage knocking him out.

"What the hell?! I'm gonna get you for that!" Natsu shouted, charging forward. He was nearing the sleeping mage when his fist was deflected sending him away from him. Once more Natsu got up taking a deep breath and prepared to attack again.

"Fire Dragon Roar!"

As soon as it looked like the attack would hit, Natsu's fire was deflected again, angering the dragon slayer.

"What the hell?!"


"Damn, that hurt my tummy." Lucy groaned picking herself up from the crater she landed in.

"Idiot. Why did we even teach you that spell if all you ever wanna do is take hits like that head on!?" Aquarius yelled, shaking the demon slayer by the collar.

"I-tryna-save-magic-sorry-won't-do-gain-stop Aqua-please!" Lucy struggled to answer, trying to hold in the vomit she felt come up from Aquarius tossing her back and forth.

"Oh man, that, that did not help any Aqua." Lucy said gasping for breath.

Aquarius clasped her hands together, taking a deep breath before speaking. "Go help your teammates with that dark guild before I kill you myself brat. Oh, and next time don't be so brutal in front of everyone."

Lucy stood ramrod straight at her spirit's words. She nodded her head in understanding, before immediately running back from where she came from. She really hoped she wasn't too late and thanking all that she had she wasn't when she saw her teammates just about to fight the Oración Seis.


The Leader of the Oración Seis eyes widened when he finally noticed Wendy slowly getting up from where Lucy pushed her out of the way. He felt like his luck couldn't get any better that evening.

"Eh?"

"What's wrong, Brain?" Angel asked. "Someone you know?"

"It's her" Brain muttered. "The Sky Sorceress..."


At the same time Lucy was about to show up, the newer member of the Oración Seis was summoning vines to strangle Leon.

"Damn." Leon grunted, trying but failing to escape. The vines surrounding him were too restricting for him to create anything, and he was losing his breath.

Ice make Lance!

Gray fortunately showed up just in time to help his friend out of the vines, both steadying their stances to fight the vine user.

"Looks like someone needs to work on their ice magic if he can't even break out of some shitty vines." Gray scoffed.

"Shut up." Leon said sending ice made eagles at the vine user while Gray sent a torrent of ice arrows. With combined attacks the dark mage was thrown back, protected by his vines he got back in a defensive position to fight once more.

"Knuckle Vine!"

Before Gray or Leon could react, they were assaulted by numerous vines and beaten unconscious. The vine user laughing to himself at how weak these mages were. "Strongest guild, what a joke."


Natsu meanwhile was still having a hard time get a hit on Midnight. He was practically running on fumes and no matter how hard he tried he never got any hits on the guy.

"Fire brilliant Flame!"

Again his magic detected, this time however Natsu was thrown back far away from Midnight. Exhausted form the one sided fight Natsu turned to see his other guild mates fighting.


"Dance, my swords!" Erza commanded, sending her Circle Sword attack at Cobra. The man smirked as the flying snake he was on easily weaved past each attack with minimal movement.

Erza scowled and ran in close, requipping into a cheetah type armor which helped her speed, her movements doubling in speed. The man sighed. "I can hear your movements, you know." He observed casually, as his snake crept up behind her to bite her. However just before the giant snake could a flaming figure jumped in place taking the bite, while knocking Erza down harshly, severely burning the snakes' mouth.

"Cubellious!"

"Step off my woman!"

The abrupt crash shocked not only Erza, but Cobra too. His plan was to poison the swordsman who seemed most threatening. Now that plan was ruined because of this blonde weirdo."

"How did you recover so fast?" Cobra asked. "That was one of Brain's strongest spells." Not only was she grinning happily as if she had not just taken a spell that should've killed her head on, but she had also just taken the bite from Cubellious, yet somehow, looked just fine. To add to that he couldn't hear any of her thoughts. It's like she's not thinking at all.

"Lucifer hit harder than that!" Lucy yelled, sweating slightly. It seemed despite her immunity to most poisons she was still affected by whatever the hell this was.

"Hmm, s'weird." Lucy mumbled.

"Lucy you idiot, are you alright?" Erza yelled, worried about the blonde who just took a bite to the arm by a giant poisonous snake.

"Don't worry my snake's venom won't kill her straight away." Cobra grinned sadistically. "She'll just suffocate in pain."

"Ha, that reminds me of this guy who tried poisoning me with some scorpion venom in my beer and instead I just passed out with a headache."

"Just what the hell are you?" Cobra asked.

"Unlike you, I'm the real deal! I'm a demon slayer, and you tried hurting my girl so I'm gonna take you down."

"Hmm, well as fun as that sounds we got what we wanted so we're outta of here. Hot Eye!"

In a flash the ground again was sinking in taking everyone down with it. Even Lucy was having a hard time staying up top.

"Hey, wait, you wannabe slayer, what the hell did you get?!"

"Lucy!" Wendy cried. Holding her by the neck was Brain, himself. It seemed while everyone was fighting, they had forgotten about Wendy.

Lucy's eyes widened at seeing just where her little dragon was. The air surrounding her was heating up, trees nearby were slowly catching fire and those nearby clothes were melting off them.

"Let her go right now." Lucy growled, the sunken ground slowly hardening due to her heat.

"Do you really think you asking me is going to make me do what you say?" Brain said. It pained Lucy to see the Oración Seis disappear right before her eyes. Not even Loke, who had come out of his gate to help, was fast enough to reach the little dragon slayer before she was taken. The last thing Lucy saw before Wendy vanished were her reaching out with fearful eyes.

Those also stuck in the ground hearts broke at the sound of Lucy's cry of anguish. Recently reunited with someone so important only to be stolen right before your eyes. Natsu couldn't help but clench his fists as he thought about how much this must hurt his friend.

Jura had just appeared as the Oracion Seis disappeared, breaking out everyone from the ground with the help of his magic. He couldn't help but apologize for his lateness. Perhaps if he had made it here earlier, he could have prevented Wendy's capture.

Loke, alongside Aquarius, were both out comforting their master. It hurt them to see her in such a state. Even Aquarius who was usually rougher when it came to Lucy was unusually gentle with the blonde mage.

However, despite how bad Loke felt for his master he still couldn't help but feel annoyed, "Lucy, will you please burn the poison out of your system before you die."

Lucy looked to Loke dazed, before lighting herself on fire. "There. Happy."

"Seriously, I was just tryna keep you from dying!" Loke lectured.

"Sorry." Lucy mumbled.

"It's okay." Loke said hugging the blonde, alongside Aquarius.


"Where is he?" Lucy said, finally having an idea of what she wanted to do.

"Where's who?" Erza asked.

"Where's that dumb speedster? I'm find out where their hideout is and I'm gonna hurt every one of them."

"Lucy, you are not touching that man, he is already unconscious from your first torture session. I doubt he'll be waking up- where'd she go?" Erza asked.

"Over there." Natsu pointed, cringing at what he was watching.

"Tell-me-where-they are!" Lucy growled, as she repeatedly punched Racer. By now those in the light alliance didn't even want to go near Lucy in her current state. The only ones who it seemed could even get near Lucy were her spirits. And even they weren't trying to stop her from the brutal beat down she was giving the dark mage.

"Shouth, big fuilding." Racer gurgled. Lucy satisfied with his response tossed him to the side and began to walk away, Loke by her side. "Tch, I'll come out when you find the smaller brat, but for now i'm not walking the whole way there." Aquarius explained.


"So..what do we do now?" Gray asked. "Follow Lucy?"

"Well, Racer did say that they were south, so don't we just go the same way?" Sherry asked.

Erza sighed, she was at a lost. "Well, I suppose so. But if we do then let's break up into groups. If we divide our numbers, we have a better chance of finding out what exactly it is that they're up to."

Jura and the others nodded in agreement. "Yes, that sounds like a good plan. We also will be able to take out members of Oración Seis if they happen to cross our path."

"That's if Lucy hasn't already done it for us." Natsu snorted.

"Don't remind me." Erza groaned.


"You're gonna be in big trouble when Lucy finds me, you know that right?" Wendy said, trembling from being so far from Lucy.

Brain grinned, "That's only if she finds you in time."
