This is the fifth chapter of Soulless, the next one will be coming up real soon. Since nobody wants the Celestial Switch, I'm gonna cancel it so yeah. Extra credit to Sofia, of and Grace stop reviewing ridiculous comments on Wizards and mages, yes notgracespieces you copyrighter. I've been watching BNHA recently (again) and I am going to do a fanfiction of it after Christmas, it will be a Fairy Tail x BNHA crossover since there isn't many of those. By the way, guess what Balu is, congrats to you if you know what it is but i'll give you a hint, it has something to do with the BNHA x Fairy Tail crossover. In this the Fantasia parade already happened and Thunder Legion left Laxus. Fun Fact in some other translated Fairy tail mangas, his name is Luxus. I laughed.

Life without the brightest star Chapter 5

It had been one week since the S-Class incident, next week would be Lucy's funeral. Everything had changed in that one week. Gray had stopped stripping, Erza stopped lecturing people and eating any sweet treats, Mira stopped begging for a fight from Erza and Natsu stayed away from everyone, not talking to anyone . He was always at Lucy's house, it was the only place where he could be relaxed since it smelled like Lucy, Fairy Tail's Lucy, his Lucy. Everyone at the guild knew where he was but couldn't bring themselves to bring him back to the guild, they tried knocking but he just shout at them to go away. The guild was so serene and quiet that Magnolia thought that they didn't even exist. Too many jobs have been taken that there was almost no more left to keep work on their minds instead of Lucy, all the beer supply in the guild was all drowned out, no paperwork complaints came from the Council. Fairy Tail was truly not itself.

Lisanna decided that enough was enough and headed off to Strawberry Street where Natsu was staying. Everybody who was currently in guild shouted her to stop she just blocked them out, when she finally arrived at the guild she did her best to avoid all the flowers and gifts left on Lucy's door, she didn't knock on the door but instead use the spare key that Lucy always kept in the flower basket and unlocked the door. She relaxed a little to find out that the landlady was not in but it didn't take the thought of Natsu off her mind. She opened the door to see Natsu frozen on her bed, he didn't let Happy in, the poor little guy had been so depressed at the guild.

"Natsu?" Lisanna asked, he looked up with red and tired eyes. He had been crying just as hard as everyone else. He looked back down.

"Go away."

"Natsu, everyone is worried about you."

"Go away."

She stayed in her place, she had to find some way to get him out.

"Everyone misses her, Natsu."

"Don't."

"What?" She placed her hands on her hips, in a confused manner.

"Don't refer to Lucy as 'her'." He looked towards the window, trying to avoid her gaze.

She huffed out in annoyance, "You think you're the only one who misses Lucy, Natsu?! We all do, I do! She was like a sister to me, she was dying in my arms and I couldn't do anything!" She started crying, "I felt so helpless, not being able to help her. I was the reason why she died, if I hadn't been so naive then she still would be alive."

There was a moment of silence.

"Get out." Natsu gritted through his teeth.

Lisanna tried to touch his shoulder, bad move.

"I said, GET OUT!"

The day was down in the dumps, metaphorically. Everyone in Magnolia and from far away was crowding around the grave, Fairy Tail, Blue Pegasus, Lamia Scale even Jude Heartfilla, the father of the newly deceased Lucy Heartfilla. Everyone from afar could sense the sadness that was being emitted from the hilltop where she was to be buried, all the people their wept for the celestial mage. She touched all their hearts and souls and filled them with love and kindness, she was truly one of a kind that you cannot find just anywhere.

All of them felt bad, Lisanna, Erza, Gray, Mira and Elfman but none of them could compare to Natsu.

"Lucy Heartfilla could be described as happy, bubble, the light of Fairy Tail, she was all of those things. Even in the darkest night, she was the brightest star that always stood out and lead a path for her friends to follow, she now joins her mother in the stars. We can only hope that she lives happily in the afterlife." Makarov announced.

They lowered her coffin into her grave as people throw beautiful bouquets of flowers in. Her keys faded along with her so the only things she was buried with was Michelle, her letters to her mother and her unfinished novel.

Team Natsu, Jude and Lisanna stayed the longest until it was only Natsu who stood alone quietly in the rain when the others had left. He gripped the thing his hand which was the gift Lucy had given to him on his birthday which was golden/ruby dragon charm bracelet. He cried into Igneel's scarf as he too departed, afraid to look back.

It had been two weeks since the funeral, Fairy Tail was slowly mending itself slowly but surely, Natsu still hadn't left her house until that very morning.

"NATSU!" Happy cried out in happiness as he landed in his warm arms, murmuring he felt lonely while fishing. He patted his head and walked to the request board, not talking to anyone. When got the jobs (notice it is plural) he wanted he pushed Nab, who was not coincidentally at the board, to the side as he ignored Nab shouting at him. He halted when he saw an armored chest plate in his way as it suddenly brought his head to the hard metal surface.

"So you finally left, we were beginning to worry about you-"

She stopped when she felt air instead of Natsu, she turned to see him walking Mira with Happy on his head.

"What are you doing, flame brain? Erza wasn't finished!" Gray protested after him, hoping that the fight he was expecting would bring his rival back to his senses but unfortunately it didn't. He slammed the job requests on the table, grabbing Mira's attention immediately. She took the job book out and asked for his job, but she didn't expect to see that he grabbed five of them.

"Are you crazy!? No normal person could do five requests in such short amount of time!"

"Just stamp it."

She crossed her arms in defiance, "I'm sorry, Natsu but I can't let you-"

He then smashed the table with an inflamed fist, an angry look evident in his eyes.

"I said, just do it or should I just go to Makarov?" She gulped then reluctantly stamped the requests as he snatched them away and stalked towards the door.

"Is it just me or did he just call Gramps, Makarov?" Gray asked Lisanna.

"It seems so..."

When he finished all the requests in two weeks, he came back to the guild different as in change of clothing. He still wore Igneel's scarf and usual attire except he had a black cloak covering to all, the pendant was the golden ruby dragon Lucy had given him. The mayor of the last request town had given him a fireproof cloak which was handy due to his fire powers. He expected the guild to be back to its rowdy self, what he did not expect was the guild to have iron poles smashed through the guild itself.

He ran up to the crowd who were the guild members, fortunately none of them were harmed in the process.

"What happened?" Natsu asked them.

"Phantom Lord, " Levy said, "They came here in the night and smashed guild hall with iron poles, luckily no one was in the guild that night so no one was hurt."

"They're cowards, coming in the night, to afraid to face us. The slimy worms." Mira spat out with venom laced in her voice.

"The question is why would they do it? I mean we know its not Jude since he is the one who funded the guild's repair damages from our brawls, not to mention he is Lucy's father," Erza stated, "What about you Natsu?"

He didn't respond, he just stared at the hill with clenched fists.

"The hill."

That just made everyone confused.

"What do you mean the hill?"

"Something is wrong with Lucy." He then dashed off so fast that the others couldn't even see him.

When he got to her it was too late, it had already been vandalized with the Phantom Lord guild mark, rude and inappropriate comments had been tattooed onto her gravestone. He then roared up to the sky, sending a beacon of fire with it. The guild knew what this meant, it meant war and revenge.

It had been a few days after the Phantom Lord incident, the dark guild had been disbanded and Loke seemed to look better than before like the war had a positive effect on him. Natsu had took a mission for only him and Happy but seemed like Lisanna, Erza and Gray didn't seemed to understand the concept of that. Erza was pulling along her trolley of humongous luggage, Gray was shivering even though he was an ice wizard meaning that he was immune to the cold (Juvia was secretly stalking him since gift to Gray, aka the Gray face meal, failed), Happy was snacking on some fish he caught earlier that day while Lisanna was skipping along next to Natsu with a weary smile on her face. She looked like she hadn't slept in ages which was technically true, after the phantom Lord incident that very strange, bad french accent man called Sol used some weird spell of his on her to relive one her worst memories which was you guessed it, the S-Class incident. Ever since then it has haunted her in her sleep band and on missions.

Her skipping started to form into a tired zombie walk which was then Gray noticed it.

"Hey Lisanna, are you okay?" He asked her with concern.

"Yeah I'm fine, just slept late last night." She lied.

Now Erza noticed her sluggish actions, "I agree with Gray, Lisanna." She turned to Natsu, "Natsu, we should rest now since we've been walking for quite a while now."

He didn't stop but he snarled at them, "Its your fault for tagging along, now I'm not going to wait for you."

As he was walking away, a sword was thrown at him, missing him by a centimeter.

"That was a warning shot, the next will hit if you don't stop this instant!" Erza exclaimed but he ignored her and kept on walking.

She growled as she threw her next one. Natsu turned around and caught it with his bare hands, it then melted into sliver liquid surprising them all.

"Like I said, I'm not going to wait for you. Come on, Happy." He obediently obeyed Natsu and flew onto his shoulder.

Erza opened her eyes to see the starry night sky instead of white, blinding light. She turned her head to the side to see Natsu slightly shaking, as she tried to comfort him he slapped her hand away and face her with tears streaming down his face.

"WHAT WAS THAT FOR, HUH? GIVING AWAY YOUR LIFE AS SOMETHING INSIGNIFICANT, WHAT WOULD THE GUILD SAY, WHAT WOULD LUCY SAY?" He shouted at her as she didn't flinch a bit.

"She would probably some the exact same thing as you, Natsu. But you have to understand it was for the sake of the guild." Erza said in a sad tone, too ashamed to even look up at Natsu.

But she was then forced to look him when he grabbed her shoulders and shook her gently.

"ARE YOU SERIOUS RIGHT NOW, ERZA?! EVEN THOUGH I DON'T SHOW it, I STILL CARE FOR FAIRY TAIL BUT YOU TRYING TO KILL YOURSELF IS THE COMPLETE OPPOSITE!" He let his tears fall into the sea, "Ever since Lucy...faded away, I couldn't bring myself to accept it so I try to imagine like she is there but in reality... she really isn't. A life without Lucy isn't a joyous one but I remind myself that I still have Fairy tail to depend on. I just hope that one day I will have the chance to see her again."

"But Natsu, we all saw her-"

"After all I told you you still refuse to listen, LUCY IS ALIVE!" She flinched but he didn't care,"I CAN FEEL IT IN HERE *he points to his heart* THAT SHE IS ALIVE SOMEWHERE, WAITING TO SEE FAIRY TAIL ONCE MORE."

Erza the crashed into the water by a group of relieved but happy bunch of friends as he walked towards the shore, but the thing was he couldn't shake off the feeling of what Jellal said, the look in his eyes were... insane. He encountered this type of magic on a mission, this magic was dark soul possession making the victim believe in something false while all their bad memories would replay in their minds to keep them from resisting their magic. But how could they have learnt that sort of magic, it was forbidden and all the remaining books are either in the Library of Magic or they were burnt, he shook the thought off and headed towards his room i n the Arcane hotel. After that Erza's old childhood friends wanted to have their own paths since they have been used way to many times, not to mention this was their first experience of having freedom so they did a farewell ceremony for them in Fairy Tail style.

It had been one year since our heroes have been on an life thrilling adventure, Fairy Tail was back to its normal self but the memory of Lucy was still kept in their minds. It was a normal day until a council messenger announced that Erza Scarlett, Gray Fullbuster, Lisanna Strauss and Natsu Dragneel must head to the Blue Pegasus guild for a joint guild mission.

"This mission must be extremely dangerous to be classified as a joint guild mission by the council so we must not keep our guards down." Erza stated.

"Well at least its gonna be fun, ain't that right Lisanna?" Gray said as he was subconsciously stripping his clothes, again.

"Yes, oh and Gray, for the fifth time this afternoon put your clothes back on!" Lisanna said as they got weird stares from passerbyers.

"I still don't understand why they didn't request Juvia or Elfman, they are quite skilled wizards.

"But they don't have the teamwork like us, ain't that Natsu?" Lisanna asked him, he remained silent.

When they arrived at the Blue Pegasus guild, they met the flirtatious Trimen which consisted (don't know their surnames)of Eve who was a snow wizard, Ren who was an air wizard and Hibiki who was a Archive wizard, and of course their manly (notice the sarcasm) leader, Ichiya the troll who uses... actually he is a waste of time for me to search up so I'm gonna leave him there.

When he attempted to sniff Erza, she kicked him away who he then landed into a doglike person who just happened to be a member of Lamia Scale. Their team was made up of Sherry who used Doll magic and kept saying 'loove', Toby who had poisonous claws and looked like a dog, Yuka who had the power to cancel out magic and had abnormally large eyebrows, Lyon who used ice make magic and was an old acquaintance of Gray and a Ten Wizard Saint member Jura who used Earth magic.

"With a wizard saint member in this mission, this should be a piece of cake!" gray stated.

Before anyone could say anything else, they heard footsteps running towards them which were then revealed to be be a little blue haired girl and a white cat who had similar abilities as Happy but quite the different attitude. As the little girls was running she fell over and landed on her face.

"I told you child not to run so fast, I could have flied you over but no." The cat looked around her to see the other guilds staring at her and the little girl, especially the blue tomcat and the hooded figure, "I suppose your the other guilds, you set a good example in front of Wendy."

"Don't be so harsh on them, Carla. I guess we haven't introduced ourselves properly, she is Carla and I'm Wendy, I'm a sky dragon slayer."

There was silence until-

"WHAT?!"

You guys are so rude ;-; .

"Sorry about them, Narrator." She lightly chuckled.

*Sniffs as I wipe away a tear*

It s okay , Wendy, now carry on with the story.

"Who are you talking to?" Lisanna asked with her hands on her hips.

She froze, "Nobody!" She squeaked out.

As she was about to intrude more, Natsu stopped her, "You're setting up a bad impression of us, let me do it."

Erza was getting anxious about Natsu's idea, "Natsu, I don't think you should-" He glared at her, "I mean like not in a bad way but-"

Then he ignored her and walked towards Wendy, he then croched down in gfront of her.

"So you're a dragon slayer, huh?" She nodded timidly, "Well then, who was your dad?"

"Actually, Grandeeney is a female dragon who is also known as the Sky Dragon."

"Well, now we have our whole team let us begin to plan." Jura said as he placed his hands on the table dramatically.

"Yes men~" Ichiya creepily let out while be Trimen behind him saluted in a proud mood.

Natsu was disabled on the wooden raft, Happy was frozen, Hibiki was taken out and Wendy didn't know any offensive moves.

Its all up to me then, Lisanna thought in her head as she got into a fighting position against Angel who used celestial magic just like Lucy.

She smirked out the white haired mage (don't get confused, Angel is the one who is smirking), "You have a friend called Lucy don't you, well she uses celestial spirits just like me," She then let out an evil giggle, "Shame she's not here, I could have killed her and taken away her keys just the same way I did to Karen from Blue Pegasus. They would've made really good pets."

She then let out a full on evil laugh, Lisanna and Hibiki froze. Karen, she was the one who killed Karen?! His hand went to his head, no I can't think this way Ninerva will change me.

Lisanna clenched her fists as she transformed into her Tigress Animal Soul and looked up with bloodshot eyes.

"YOU'LL REGRET SAYING THAT!" Lisanna screamed as she charged towards her.

There was no evident winner yet but it was plain knowledge to see that Angel would win the fight, she had no major inguries on her and had a lot of magical energy left on the other hand Lisanna was injured and tired, almost out of energy. She panted and was about to get hit when a bunch of screens appeared protecting her from the attack. She turned around to see Hibiki with his hands out.

"I'm going to transport an ancient lost Animal Soul spell to help you defeat her, make this count." He then fell face first into the water as Lisanna started to glow a blue aura.

She started to levitate in the air as a blue magic circle surrounded her, muttering the ancient fioren language.

Oh wonders answer thy call
Through and under this spiritual wall
Release the animal within my soul
To defeat my enemy once and for all

ANIMALIS SPIRITALU

Then a ghost blue fog that represented an elegant snow bird (I don't know, probably?) materialized out of thin air as it flew towards Angel, making her scream in pain. As she was falling into the water, she felt as she was being lifted up like she was going to heaven but it was no where near there since she was met with an angry Lisanna and not beautiful angels.

"Next time think about what comes out of you evil mouth, demon." She then dropped her into the water and started to help Hibiki up.

As Wendy rushed over to heal him, Lisanna was thinking over what Angel was saying, take Lucy's keys... She looked at her hips which she then saw a pouch of keys hanging helpless by her side, before she could grab them a black figure appeared out of nowhere and grabbed them swiftly.

"Those aren't yours!" Lisanna shouted, desparate to get them back.

"They aren't yours either, Lisanna Strauss of Fairy Tail." The figure said as it stood up on the branch, "I suggest you should help your pink haired friend, he'll need it in the near future."

It then vanished into thin air, never to be seen for quite a while. Leaving all of them quite perplexed, they help Natsu out and melted the ice Happy was encased in while explaining it to them at the same time.

It had been a while since the joint guild mission happened, it was a rainy moring in Magnolia. Gray was asleep while Happy and Lisanna drew on his sleeping face, Natsu was sitting in his corner as usual and Erza was eating her cake as usual. Damn, Fairy Tail is getting boring, time to spice things up a notch!

"Man its raining hard, Juvia are you causing this? The last time Gray was out on a mission without you you flooded the whole guild!" Macao exclaimed.

"Wouldn't you feel worried if Romeo was hurt on a mission and you didn't know?" Juvia retorted.

"Uhh, yeah his my son." Macao shot back dumbly.

"That's how I feel about my darling Gray!" Juvia preached as everyone chuckled at her lovesick antics, Gray fast asleep like a log.

Wendy and Carla went out on a walk in the rain, they had just recently joined Fairy Tail after they had found out that Cait Shelter wasn't really a guild, Wendy found Fairy Tail to be amazing while Carla thought quite the opposite.

"Those people are drunk barbarians,Wendy, you shouldn't associate yourself with those kind of people." Carla said, flying into the open space.

"But they're our nakama! We should care for them, oh Carla let's go back to the guild, you're going to catch a cold in this rain."

They stopped talking when they found a familiar presence walk towards them.

"Wendy... I see you've grown up so much in those years." The figure said as he took down his hood to see-

"Jellal?!"

You just interrupted me again, thanks a lot.

"But we all saw you get taken in by the magic council! How-"

"That was my Earthland version of me. He looks and sounds very much like me but we are two very different people. In here I am known as Mystogen, an S-Class wizard of Fairy Tail."

The sky rumbled very loudly like the banging of the drums, flexing its muscles to show how strong it was going to soon be.

"I need to find the Anima fast and close it or else-" He was then interrupted by the swirling hole in the sky, then sucking everything and everyone in Magnolia until there was nothing left except Mystogen, Wendy, Carla and two others.

"The hell!? If this is suppose to be a prank then its not a funny one, where the heck did Magnolia go!?" A familiar pink haired pyromaniac shouted.

As they finally escaped the forest from the frog monster, they soon stumbled upon a weird new Fairy Tail guild that kind of looked like a huge short beanstalk. Wendy opened the doors with the help of Carla and Happy, as they then saw an odd sight. Jet and Droy were lecturing Elfman to be more manly while he just cried, weird, Nad was going on loads of jobs, strange, Macao and Wakaba were drinking small amounts of alcohol asking Cana to come over and join them while she POLITELY DECLINED WHILE WERE POSH CLOTHING NOT TO MENTION THE FACT THAT SHE IS DRINKING TEA! NOT NORMAL!

Sorry, I'm over reacting carry on reading.

"Hello?"

"There you are Natsu!" They turned around to see Lisanna in very gothic and revealing clothing walking towards them. She was wearing the same kind of clothing their Mirajane was wearing, except this crazy version of Earthland has a...nice and not scary Mira.

"Uh Lisanna, what are you wearing?" Wendy asked.

"What do you mean, kid? I always wear this." She then got straight up in her face as Wendy flinched back, "You got a problem with that?"

"Settle down old maid, you're gonna scare the little girl." A familiar but rough voice said as the crowd parted for her.

Their eyes shot wide open to see...Lucy... alive in... punk clothing?

"Oh yeah? What are you gonna to do about, blondie?" Lisanna sneered as she glared back at her.

Natsu and Happy were surprised, Lisanna and Lucy were best of friends, I wonder what-

"CAN YOU KEEP THE RACKET DOWN?! I'M TRYING TO WORK ON MY NEW INVENTION!" A petite blue girl surprisingly called Levy yelled.

*sigh* Here we go again.

"What ya mean? I'm the guild master around here so I say shut up or face my wrath worm!" Lucy shouted as Lucy and Levy clashed heads.

"Worm!"

"Cheesecake (?)!"

Then Lisanna pushed through, "DON'T FORGET ABOUT ME?!"

As they started one of their brawls, Natsu just stared at Lucy the whole time, she obviously noticed this and glared at him.

"You." She pointed as she got up and marched towards him in an angry manner.

He gulped, "Me?"

This was the first time he been so intimidated by some in a long time, shocker. She the grabbed his head and put him down in an excruciating position.

"Position 129! The back crusher! Position 233! The human spaghetti and position 489 the swirling donuts!"

As she finally let him go he landed face first, painfully relieved that the agony was over.

"Geez, you could of least sent us a message to us about your whereabouts. We thought the Fairy Hunter captured you."

Just by mentioning Fairy Hunter, a guild member ran in shouting that Knightwalker is shouted to Levy some unknown coordinates as she pulled the lever, transporting them to another destination. A few people muttered under there breaths as Wendy asked them a very important question.

"Who is this Fairy Hunter?"

They all looked at each other nervously, "Well, she is the second unit general master of the king of Edolas, Erza Knightwalker."

Wendy heartbeat froze for a moment before going back to normal again, Erza was the one who hunted Fairy Tail?

"You're wrong! Erza loves Fairy Tail with all her heart! She could-"

"She could kill us all with no care or emotion! She is not your Erza Scarlett!" Lisanna stated while placing her hands on her hips.

They heard a slam in the doors to see that Natsu had just walked out, Happy was about to go after him when Jet blocked his way.

"Hold on, little guy. We can't let you go, after all you might be a spy for the Exceeds."

Happy tilted his head to the side, "What's an Exceed?"

Lucy ran outside to see Natsu slowly walking away from her, "The hell, Natsu get your ass over here!" She fumed, worried that the Fairy Hunter would spot them.

"You can't tell me what to do." He simply said as he kept walking away.

"And why not?" She questioned.

"Because you're not my Lucy!" His voice echoing across the barren land

She stared at him as he walked away, "Are you an idiot? You can't go out there without any magic weapons!

A/N: Since I really want to start my next crossover I'm gonna skip all the fighting part.

The guild was back to its cheerful state, Erza was eating her strawberry cheese cake, Gray carried on stripping while Juvia was surprisingly not stalking him and was paying attention to something different (*coughs* muttering to herself of how she missed out the golden opportunity of seeing a Gray that could love her back) and to everyone's surprise Natsu was interacting and smiling with the other guild members. He remembered what Edolas Lucy said to him before he got transported back to Earthland.

"Natsu!" Edo Lucy called out to the floating Natsu, "Listen to me! Before you go I have something to tell you!"

"What is it?!" He shouted, "You better make it quick!"

She grinned widely, "Forget what hurt you in the past but never forget forget what it taught you, Dragneel! The guilt of your Lucy dying is dragging you down, you have to learn how to let go and move on. Or you can be a moron and forget everything I said."

He smirked, "Don't worry, I won't."

He decided to live up to her advice and so far he could sense the sadness and guilt fading away like it like it never existed.

Two weeks later and everyone in Fairy tail have gone back to themselves again, Erza was still eating her cake while Mira tried to challenge her to a fight, Lisanna was chatting with Wendy, Gajeel started taunting Levy on how small her figure was and Gray and Natsu began to become frienemies again. Everyone fought their wild adventures would end, but as you all know when one door closes another opens. Literally and metaphorically, as two pairs in cloaks pushed the doors open. And one of them smelt like strawberries and vanilla.
