Chapter 3

WITH LUCY, NARRATOR POV

Lucy's body was left in a crater in the center of the alley. When she woke up, she saw that she was still in the land of the living, the spirit she called looked tired and weak as she kneeled beside her, a blue-green glow surrounding her hands. Lucy could feel the way that her personal magical pool had been refilled while her spirit's had been almost completely drained.

"Stop, sweetheart." Lucy rasped to the spirit. "I'm okay now, go rest in the Spirit World for now." Lucy told her. Lucy's voice had gotten the attention of the Rune Knights around her, bringing them closer to her.

The girl nodded. She looked like she was either going to cry or faint, or maybe both seeing as she was really low on energy and had been on the Earthland plane for quite a while for her, maintaining her body herself. She was silent, her hair was white with a rainbow of colours at the tips. She wore a pale blue dress and had very pale skin, she appeared as white as a sheet of paper, though that wasn't much of a difference from her regular very-pale peach colour it normally took. She held up her pointer finger in a 'wait a second,' motion as she reached into the small pouch she wore around her neck and silently pressed a few small pills into Lucy's hands before closing her gate.

Lahar saw the exchange and walked towards Lucy, Doranbolt not too far behind him. They crouched down close to her to look her in the eyes. "How are you feeling, Miss Heartfilia?" Lahar asked her. He knew it was a dumb question, but it was the first question that had come to mind.

"Considering that I was about to die of blood loss and magic exhaustion, I'd say that I'm pretty good." Lucy smiled, trying to make him smile at least a little bit.

"What can you tell us about the people who did this to you?" Doranbolt asked. "Were you able to see their guild mark, or any recognisable features?" He did smile slightly at her attempt at dry humor, but he really wanted to know who to crush for this. He was still a member of Fairy Tail, after all.

"Oh, I knew who they were. And I saw their Guild marks, it's just that… It's no one you would have thought it would have been." Lucy told them sadly. She looked down as she told them her side of what had happened, told them about how she'd heard Lisanna scream, saw the men, yelled loud enough to draw in witnesses, and beat the men. Explained what had happened after, while she had been treating Lisanna, how her guildmates had thought that she had done this to Lisanna and painted the alley in her blood. Cried to them how glad she had been that Lisanna was unconscious as her so called 'nakama' tried to kill her and told her never to see them again unless she wanted to die.

The Rune Knights listened to her story, and the Guilds who had come to check on her had heard as well. Needless to say, they were shocked by the guild's behaviour, after all, they were known for their family-like bond, protecting their own like nobody's business. Each guild had a few representatives to check on their favourite celestial mage, and when they heard what she had said, they were all ready to destroy Fairy Tail. But Lucy saw them before they could leave and tried to get up to call them over.

"Hey guys, how are you?" She asked smiling as she hobbled to greet them. She saw the Trimen and Ichiya from Blue Pegasus, Risley Law, Milliana, Arana Webb and Kagura from Mermaid Heel, Semmes, Bacchus, and Rocker from Quatro Cerberus, Jura, Lyon, and Sherria from Lamia Scale, and the Twin Dragon slayers, Minerva and Rufus Lore from Sabertooth. "Where are you guys going?" Lucy asked as she hugged each of them.

"Oh, just visiting Fairy Tail. We all wanted to visit our favourite celestial Fairy." Minerva said smiling. Ever since Lucy had forgiven her for what she'd done at the Grand Magic Games, they had become great friends. Lucy had taught Minerva about the typical girl things, flirting, boys, the works. She had even helped Minerva land a boyfriend, who was currently acting as Guildmaster while they were away. You guessed it, it's Orga! They'd been dating for around three months now, and they were just perfect for each other.

"We heard about what happened, and decided that we are going to give those posers a nice beat down." Kagura told her in her typical 'I hate most things.' voice. She was pissed that her older sister figure had done this to the one that she had told her was like a baby sister to her. "Would you like to come?" She asked.

Lucy seemed to get a shot of fear in her eyes as Kagura invited her. "N-no th-than-thanks… uh… I think yo- you shouldn't, it would be bad if the guilds started fighting about something as trivial as this…" Lucy stuttered, looking down. "I-I really shouldn't go, it would o-on-only cause more problems.." Lucy told them. Honestly, she was terrified that Team Natsu would make good on their promise and kill her if they ever saw her again. "I-I'm not really a part of the Guild anymore…" Lucy told them, showing her hand where Natsu had burned off her guild mark. Of course, they had all known that she had been kicked out, but to burn off her Guild mark? While she was fully conscious and had given no consent? That was almost as bad as rape.

The girls gave Lucy hugs, while the men were deciding on how to murder the Fairies that did this. They knew that a select few were innocent, but that was very few. So, after asking permission from the Rune Knights, they brought Lucy to the Fairy Tail Guild Hall. They promised her that if they even tried to come too close that they would beat them all to a pulp, and she believed them. She seemed to try to make herself as small as possible as they walked into the Guild. The mages from the other Guilds had all paired up and chosen a side, while the rest had decided that they would either stand in front of or behind Lucy, just in case.

Lucy saw everyone, and waved at the few that remembered her, also known as the Raijinshuu, Gajeel, Juvia and Wendy and the Exceeds. Her wave was small and tentative, as if she was unsure of herself. She looked terrified, as if just coming to the Guild that she loved so dearly was a traumatic event. Soon, she got to the room where she and Virgo had prepared the party. She was glad to see that only Master Makarov and Lisanna were there, happy that she would be able to see them again. "Grandpa!" Lucy yelled joyfully as she ran into her grandfather's embrace. "I'm so glad that I got to see you again! They said that if they ever saw me again, they'd kill me. They must be out right now! Look who came to visit!" Lucy laughed as if a weight had been taken off her shoulders. "Oh, Lisanna! Are you okay? Those men didn't hurt you, did they? I was sooooooo scared when I heard you screaming!" Lucy continued, pulling the girl mentioned closer to herself and searching for any injuries on Lisanna.

"Me? What about you! I can't believe those idiots would think that you'd harm me! Thank you soooo much for helping me though, I was in a really hard situation. Those guys cornered me, but they didn't have magic, so I didn't want to use mine! But then, they started to actually hurt me, and when I actually started to use my magic, they had already gotten quite a few hits, and I felt so dizzy. And then they ripped off my shirt, and I screamed. And then you came, and I was soooo relieved as I saw you beating them up with your spirits and I was soooooo glad that you had gathered a bunch of witnesses, but then I was sooooo tired, so I fainted! And then, when I woke up, Team Natsu and my siblings were talking about how I wouldn't see you again, and that I didn't have to worry about you hurting me, and I was so confused! But then I thought it was a joke, so I asked about where you were! But then the Rune Knights called about what happened while I was passed out, and then I called Sabertooth and told them about what happened, and I guess they spread the word to the other guilds! And the Dragon slayers all came back at some point and they smelt your blood, even Sting and Rogue through the lacrima! I still don't understand that part, though… Anyway! They all decided to come and beat up most of the guild for what happened, and then here we are!" Lisanna ranted, her arms flailing around as she explained everything.

"I know, they're idiots right? But I should really teach them a lesson, shouldn't I? Or do you think that would be wrong… Because I really don't want to hurt any of my family, though I don't know if I should consider them as family though…" Lucy thought out loud.

"But we haven't even gotten to the worst part yet! The Guild had actually believed those morons for a while! They thought that you had actually attacked me! Well, the dragon slayers didn't, and Laxus was quite adamant when he suggested beating up those guys." Lisanna wiggled her eyebrows. "Is there anything going on there, Lucy-chan?" May it be known that Lisanna loved matchmaking almost as much as her sister.

Lucy blushed. "Sort of…" Lucy told her, her voice fading a bit at the end. Lisanna squealed and started asking Lucy a thousand and one questions about their relationship, but before Lucy could answer them, she was pulled to the front of the Guild by Master Makarov himself.

"Oi, Brats!" Master yelled to the entire Guild, who were moping by the tables. Mira, Elfman, Natsu, Gray and Erza were in a corner sulking because everyone else was ignoring their presences and giving them cold and disapproving looks. The other Guilds had put together a few tables and booths and were discussing something with the people who actually remembered Lucy, not including Master Makarov and Lisanna, obviously. "I actually have some news I would like to share!" Master announced. As soon as I heard him, I knew what he was talking about. I tried to run away, but he held my arm so I couldn't. I steeled myself, and looked at Laxus, pleading with him to help me with my eyes. He just smirked and looked away, the jerk.

So I made my face neutral and impassive as I stared at the Guild. They were all staring at me now, standing on the second level with Master. I decided to play a prank before they all found out. I made a pretty blush appear on my face before swatting the Master lightly. "But I didn't want to tell them yet," I said quietly, but just loud enough for everyone to hear. I made it sound like I was embarrassed, though the Master didn't quite understand why. However, I saw the gears turning in everyone's heads as they looked at the Master and I, then looking at the way that Master was holding my hand. Then they looked at my blushing face and started jumping to conclusions. Honestly, it was quite funny to watch, I only wish I had some popcorn.

Laxus seemed to be laughing silently too, I saw that smirk of his. Oh, Freed's face right now! I would burst into some raucous laughter right now if it wouldn't ruin my little joke. Bixlow just kept looking between Master and I, before giving his signature tongue-lolling smile, and Evergreen was trying her best to smile despite the disgusted look in her eyes. The others of our group looked confused, pissed and embarrassed. Sometimes at the same time.

"Master!" Mira yelled. "I didn't know that you would actually do that to a woman!" She looked kinda angry, I guess this worked a little better than I thought it would. The Master looked confused as he looked at Mira, but before he could ask, Natsu spoke.

"I didn't know you were like that, Gramps… How did you do it?" Natsu asked, staring at Master in curiosity and... no, it couldn't be... was that jealousy I saw? Then his eyes showed that he was extremely confused, as he continued staring.

"How did I do what? What did I do?" Master looked around as Macao and Wakaba wolf whistled at him. He then thought about how he and I looked right now before blushing and giggling like a perv. "Oh, it's nothing like that, I assure you."

I pretend to be confused a bit before I make myself look like I am thinking really hard. After a minute or two, I burst out laughing as I look at the Guild. "You… You thought Master… And me… together… Ahahahahaha!" I laughed as I thought about my joke, my stomach hurting with how much I was laughing, Laxus chuckling in the background. "No, I firmly like Laxus better." I announced.

"What I was going to tell you, is that Lucy is my step-granddaughter!" Master announced. The Guild was silent for a few minutes as they processed this, before screaming so loud the birds flew out of the trees.

"WHAT?!"
