"Lucy, this request was not recorded in our books, and as you all know each and every request is recorded and ranked depending on how dangerous it is. S-Classes are meant for S-class, so one and so forth. But this request has to potential for a 5 year mission behind it and as such it should be with the 50-100 year missions, as it is above a regular S-class mission. Normally a mission with an S-class requires only one person but, this request has specified that it requires two. The part with the Celestial Spirit Mage is rather worrisome. If the request is dangerous enough to need two top tier mages but asks for a celestial Mage, a type of Mage who almost never makes it to s-class, then why ask for the Mage at all? No offence to you Lucy, I know you have what it takes to be a S-Class Mage, but that part of the request is probably only there because of the reward of a white spirit key. They really can't give it to anyone else because Spirit key users are the only one's who can open the gates." Lucy's brow furrowed and she rested a hand over the side of her face, fingers splayed across her mouth.

"Why can't we just go? We have Erza and Mirajane here, they're both S-class aren't they? And Luce here is a key-thingy. We have all that we need, Team Natsu can deal with it." Lucy turned to stare at him.

"Team Natsu? I don't remember us having a team name, certainly not one with your name in it." Natsu just looked at her and shrugged.

"That's what everyone is calling us, ask Levy. She's the one I first heard it from. I heard Wakaba say it too before we went on our last mission." Lucy's mouth dropped open.

"What am I, chopped liver?" She shook her head and groaned into her hands.

"That sounds good…." Natsu drooled. She stared at him in shock. He had completely missed the point. Master Makarov sighed deeply and they both turned their attention to him.

"I've called back Laxus and any other members currently taking jobs. This isn't a joke, a mission like this is a serious deal and I would rather we make the decision as a guild then a small group. I'd like to hear everyone's opinion first, when we come to a conclusion I will form a team should we go through with it, if we deem it a hoaxes the subject will be dropped. Natsu, Lucy, I trust you will inform your fellow team members about the situation?" They nodded and he waved them out. "When the rest of the Guild arrives within the the next few days be sure you're here, I have a feeling this job is more than it seems." With his final words they walked out of the office and down to the first floor.

"What do you think about the job Lucy? I mean, gramps did say it was odd and anything he finds weird is bound to be trouble." Natsu placed his hands behind his head as he walked beside his partner. Lucy was lost in thought as she walked.

"Oi, Luce, you in there?" Natsu waved a hand in front of her face and she jumped slightly.

"W-what?" She stuttered out and blinked at him.

"I said what do you think about the job Luce? Jeez, you space out a lot." He shook his head and headed over the table Gray was sitting at with Erza and Lisanna.

"I don't space out!" She yelled out as she hurried after him.

"Sure you don't." He snickered and sat down beside Gray. Gray stopped talking mid sentence to look over at Natsu.

"Any reason you're sitting next to me flame brain?" He glanced over at Lucy before turning his gaze back to Natsu, the latter just shrugged and gestured for Lucy to start talking. She shot a glare at him before sighing.

"Does this have anything to do with you two being called into the he Masters office? You didn't get us in trouble did you?" Erza asked and stared at Natsu, he stared back and Erza was the first to look away when Lucy spoke up.

"It's not so much we got in trouble it's mo-" She was cut off by Natsu.

"Gramps called back every single member of Fairy Tail back to the guild to discuss something rather important." Gray's eyes widened and Erza dropped the fork she was holding to stare at Natsu for his outburst.

"Way to go Natsu." Lucy growled.

"What? You were going so slow. Just say it." He shrugged again and leaned back to rest his back against the wood of the support pillar behind him. She sighed in anger and rubbed her temples.

"Every Fairy Tail member?" Erza repeated after the shock wore off. Gray still sat there watching Natsu, slightly concerned that he has dismissed the insult he gave to him when he sat down.

"Yeah, Lucy can explain it better. Hey! What's chopped liver? Is it good?" Natsu straightened in his seat and drooled at the mention of food.

"Not the time to be thinking of food Natsu, Master was serious. Heck this job is serious, would it kill you to take things serious for once?" Lucy glared at him but promptly swung her head back when NAtsu got in hers.

"You don't think I know that? Two S-Class mages required for a job and a celestial spirit Mage. I know Gramps was serious when he spoke to us, I'm not stupid. Even I know when something is dangerous and I agree with Gramps. This job is probably more than it seems." He glared at her darkly and she actually was afraid of her friend. He noticed her change in attitude and slumped down in his seat.

"Sorry Luce, I didn't mean to scare you.." She placed a hand over her chest to calm her rapidly beating heart. She takes a deep breath and reaches out to take his hand.

"It's okay Natsu, I get it. This is serious, so I should be serious too." She gave him a small sad smile and he nodded silently. She retracted her hand and squared her shoulders. Erza and Gray had been silent to give them their little moment.

"Alright, so. It is true that Master has called back every member of fairy tail, and it's not true we got in trouble with Master." Lucy pauses and glances over at the request board. "I was looking for a job to do after Mira suggested I do something more local, when I found a rather strange request. The reward was 700,000,000,000,000 Jewel, a white gate key and a hint at the location of dragons, and it was to save a village."

"Wait, hold on. 700,000,000,000,000 Jewel? That's a pretty hefty reward on it's own." Gray said as he stripped off his shirt, he didn't pause and followed Lucy's gaze to the request board. Mirajane was currently double checking the requests to see if they matched what was recorded.

"Yeah, that's why it took me by surprise. I read it again and took it to Mira. The request said you had to bring 2 S-Class mages and a celestial spirit Mage. That's not even the weirdest thing, the request didn't say what the village was getting attacked by. No mention of bandits or a dark guild. Just that the reward goes to the one who can save the village, and that the village was on the other side of Mount Hakubi. Nothing else." Lucy shook her head and laced her hands together on top of the table. Erza crossed her arms and looked deep in thought. Gray had just removed his pants and rested an elbow on the table, his chin sitting in the palm of his hand.

"I don't get it, why list the help of 3 specific wizards but not tell them why they are fighting? Isn't the whole point of requesting wizards to defeat something, to actually get a wizard that can defeat it. Say, requesting Levy or Freed because to take down a barrier because of their dealing with rune magic, or requesting a dragon slayer to a slay a dragon because it's what their magic is for?" He mused after a few moments of silence. Erza nodded slightly before speaking.
