Back with the 7th chapter^^ How did you like the last one? You glad that you found out about the responsibility that has been mentions in some of the chapters? You better be, it was hard coming up with that. Anyway, let's get back with the meeting, shall we?


"It's glad to meet you, celestial girl." Zeref said. "What do I owe the pleasure?"

"You know exactly why I'm here." Lucy said narrowing her eyes.

"I suppose I do."

"So, what do you want from me?"

The other 5 just watched while sitting on the back of Zekken, nervous for what Zeref might want from their beloved blonde. They didn't want anything to happen to her.

Zeref and Lucy just had a staring contest and was in silence. Zeref smirked as Lucy stared at him with a frown and stern look on her face. She wanted to find out what the dark mage wanted from her and get this over with so she can go diss Fairy Tail where it hurts.

The wind blew by them, making the silence less by a minimum. But the tension in the air was sickening. It was so tense that Zekken was starting to whimper. Haru patted his fox's ear and turned back to watch one of his old friends stare down the evil mage, while the others prayed for Lucy's safety.

Suddenly, Zeref lifted his hand and before Lucy could blink, a dark blast came her way.

She dodged it immediately and she crouched down, with right leg going outwards. She hopped back to her feet and then, Lucy shot her own blasts mixed with black and white. Zeref smirked and he teleported away from the blast, from what it looked like to Lucy.

Lucy continued to shoot her blasts toward Zeref, as the dark mage followed right after her. Both clashing their magic and creating small craters under the blasts. With Zeref taking a few hits from Lucy and Lucy taking the same amount of hits as well.

After a few hits from Lucy, Zeref was about to laugh and Lucy stared at him with a confused face.

"What's going on here?"

"I'm satisfied, celestial girl." Zeref replied.

"Excuse me?" Lucy asked again, confusion and anger mixed in her voice.

"I could see that your power that was once in shackles, has now been tainted by the hate you have in your heart." Zeref explained as he turned around. "I wanted to see if it is was just as powerful."

"That's it!?" Lucy asked dumbstruck by him.

"Would you like to literally fight me instead?" Zeref asked menacingly.

Lucy was taken aback and shook her head. Zeref nodded and began to walk away from the group's sight.

"Make sure they get what they deserve, celestial girl." His voice echoed.

Lucy nodded and walked back to Zekken. She petted his head and then climbed back behind Allan as Haru made the fox start running toward the guild that Lucy wanted to feel pain. She would not let them have their way and she will make them pay for what they said about her.

Lucy was no longer weak little Lucy Heartfilia. Thanks to everyone in Fairy Tail, she remembered that she must fight for herself and for those who actually care about her. Lucy stared down on the bandages on her right hand. Fairy Tail might think that she would forgive them, but with the proof she had, no way was that happening.

Lucy then got an idea and whispered a small spell as she glowed for a split second and then she knew that it worked. "Let's play even more. I bet you're wondering who I am, under this hood." Lucy thought grinning. "Go to where Team Natsu is... my ghost."

Allan, Kira, Neku, Yui and Haru glanced at the blonde they had trained and smiled towards her. She has grown. They respect Lucy's wishes since they didn't approve of the way the fairies acted toward their friend.

Plus, they did want to have their own fun and payback on the fairies for hurting the celestial blonde. Lucy had told them what she had went through during their training and she also made it clear that she wanted to prove them wrong and they knew how wrong they were.

Lucy was strong. She was never weak to begin with. She just had shackles preventing her from using her new magic. Now, she was strong enough to make people tremble of her exposed power. Sometimes even faint. She was especially stronger with all of them together.

Now, they were headed for Fairy Tail on Zekken to get some payback.


(Starting now, this is going to be in Fairy Tail's normal POV)

Meanwhile, back in Fairy Tail. Team Natsu was telling Makarov what they had noticed and what had happened before they left the city.

This troubled Makarov, hearing a threat such as that and that the mysterious person knew of Lucy's death(Because she is Lucy!) even though it wasn't made public raised suspicion. For all Makarov could tell and assumed, the mysterious enemy and her gang was the ones who made Lucy explode into flames.

But they were so wrong.

After they reported to Makarov, Team Natsu sat at the bar. Lisanna, Wendy and Carla were lost in thought on why the mysterious girl would smile at them. It wasn't a smile filled with evil, they could tell that much. She even waved back at them. Saying that they'll meet again.

The way she smiled at them was different from when she smirked to Natsu and the others. There was something weird about her and they wanted to find out what.

Wendy didn't tell the others yet, but she noticed something in the way she spoke Lucy's name. Like their was something behind the reason she even asked the question. When the mysterious woman asked it, her voice had a tone of sadness and anger. Like, she had went through the pain herself. Which caused Wendy to be even more curious about her as well.

Natsu on the other hand, really wanted to fight the mysterious woman that had held Happy captive for a short period of time. If she had wanted to torture them or steal from them, she wouldn't have let Happy go like that. He was even more confused. He worried that she placed something on Happy, but was soon proven wrong thanks Makarov, Mira and Erza.

Soon enough, Team Natsu decided to search for clues in Lucy's apartment. They hadn't cleared it out yet, so Lucy's things were still there. They decided that they would still rent it out for awhile, until they were sure that there was no way for Lucy to be alive after her 'ghost' had come for the past few days.

It was just, Natsu, Erza, Gray, Lisanna and Wendy that decided to check the blonde's apartment, since Happy was still scared from the encounter with the mystery girl and Carla was helping Levy research on Lucy's 'ghost'.

When they entered, all they saw was that the apartment still looked the same, even after the weeks Lucy was gone. She had left it the same way she always does, but the only difference was that the chair at her desk had fallen backwards.

They had also brought the 2 letters the landlady had with her and decided to use it as a connection.

They started looking around her bedroom. Since Lucy was mostly in her room when they would - or used to - visit.

There was nothing, but they continued to look. Not leaving any corner in her room unturned.

That's when Wendy bumped into Lucy's box full of letters she writes to her late mother, Layla. She started gathering the letters and Lisanna was helping her.

Before they could put the leters back in the box, Natsu grabbed 2 random ones and began to open them. Which made Lisanna and Wendy worry.

"Natsu! You shouldn't go through Lucy's letters like that!" Lisanna protested.

"It's useless Lisanna, he did it the last time we dropped those letters." Gray said shrugging.

"The last time?" Wendy asked.

"Oh yeah. You weren't here then. It was right after the Phantom War and Lucy was going to confront her father. Natsu dropped the box and started reading one of them." Erza explained.

Natsu - taking his cue - finally started reading the first letter he had grabbed.

"'Dear Mom,

I made a new friend a few months back. Her name is Lisanna and she's a really nice girl. She's Mira's youngest sibling. She's been gone after 3 years being stuck in Edolas. Me and her became friends straight away. She's been there for me ever since the guild started to ignore me. She always tells me sorry, even though it's not her fault. I don't mind though. The guild's happy, so I'm happy. But I can't help but feel lonely. Even Natsu stopped talking to me. You don't think he forgot about me, do you? Wendy and Carla aren't back yet. Erza's been doing a good job keeping Natsu and Gray in check. Gray is still stripping, which I've grown used to. It's what his teacher taught him. Natsu is still same old Natsu. But, I can't help but feel my heart ache. I hope I talk with them again soon.

Your Daughter, Lucy'"

The Fairy Tail mages were quiet in shock. Even after they had been horrible toward the blonde celestial mage, Lucy still thought about them and still cared for their well-being. Yet, they treated her like that and she was hurting. A lot.

Yet, she still managed to hide all her sadness behind her smile she always gives when she is brushed off by them. Lucy would bow down and apologize with a smile and walk away. They didn't know that she was hurting so much and they didn't even notice the sadness behind her smiles. Lucy was strong to keep her sadness from them.

With a nervous and heavy heart, they watched again as Lisanna read the 2nd letter Natsu had grabbed from the pile of letters. Little did they know, that it was a going to be a clue in the end.

"'Dear Mom,

So, I went on another solo mission and apparently it was just to teach this young girl to control her magic. It reminded me of my 5 favorite people from 3 years ago. After all this time, I still can't forget them. You helped them when they were younger, right? I haven't seen them in so long. But, I guess I kinda forgot about them ever since I told them about Fairy Tail and said I wanted to join the guild when I was younger. They said that joining a guild would just hold back my power. Maybe they're right. I mean, I nearly forgot what I had to do and what I had to complete. Mom, I'm scared when it comes. I guess I'm still weak after all. But, I started it and now I'm gonna end it. Wish me luck on my training.

Your little girl, Lucy'"

"5 favorite people? Does she mean us?" Gray spoke up.

"She couldn't have meant us. She said she met these people 3 years ago. That was before she joined Fairy Tail." Erza reminded the ice mage.

Wendy got the letter Lucy had left behind on her desk after she had disappeared and began to re-read it. Without a doubt, one part in particular related to the letter Lisanna had just read.

"There's a connection." Wendy spoke up catching the teens' attentions. "It says in this leter that; 'You must leave that excuse of a guild and return immediately. You were never meant to join such a guild and never will.' while in the other letter it says; 'They said joining a guild would just hold back my power.' Plus, it also says that Lucy had something to do and that she started something and is going to end it."

The rest of the mages listened to the young blunette and realized that she was right. Both letters mentioned the same thing. Whoever these 5 people were, they definitely had something to with what Lucy was hiding from them before this whole mystery and tragedy had happened.

Suddenly, a voice spoke, making Natsu, Erza and Gray shiver down their spine.

"Here again... are you?"

Cold wind surrounded the 3 teens and they were frozen in place. Unable to move from their position.

"After all this... even when you ignored me... you still go through my stuff and enter my apartment without permission. How could you be so cruel? Have you not made me suffer enough?"

Wendy and Lisanna placed the all the letters back in the box and then stood up to see Lucy's ghost floating about above the other 3 mages. They stared at they noticed Lucy had a weird tone to her and they became suspicious.

"Why must you continue to torture me, even in death?"

"Lucy!" The 2 girls said to the floating figure.

Lucy looked down on her 2 friends before floating in front of them.

"Wendy... Lisanna..."

"That day, when you asked me if you would you be missed, was there a reason behind it?" Lisanna asked.

Lucy stayed silent and just stared at the Take-Over mage and Sky Dragon Slayer in front of her. They both looked at Lucy with concerned eyes, clearly worried about the blonde. Lucy avoided eye-contact and just simply faced the others.

"I'm sorry... Wendy... Lisanna. You will find out sooner than you think." Lucy simply replied.

Before the 2 girls could even ask another question, Lucy faced the 3 other mages with her emotionless eyes. Her hair softly moving about.

"You tried to find me. Did you forget that I said you couldn't? I WILL find you instead I will haunt you forever. But now, I suggest you go back to the god forsaken guild and prepare for what's to come." Lucy warned seriously. "Believe me when I say, that your dreams, will become your never ending nightmare."

With that, Lucy disappeared as Natsu, Erza and Gray slid to the floor. They let Lucy's words sink in and then all 5 of them rushed out to warn their guild.


Back with Lucy, she grinned as Zekken was getting closer to Fairy Tail. The 6 of them smirked as they were getting closer and closer to Magnolia. Little by litte, she exposed more and more of her magic energy. Allan, Kira, Neku, Yui and Haru weren't affected because they also had powerful magic and were used to Lucy's magic energy.

To them it was nothing. To someone who isn't used to it, they would faint from the pressure or feel as if the air was suffocating.

"Fairy Tail... here we come."
