"For Fairy Tail!" I screamed as I let my wings unfold. My pearly white wings gave a powerful slap and I soared to the top of the guild building.

Raining Light's! I chanted. A downpour of magical beams shot down from around me. I didn't wait to see how many were left before casting another spell.

Life Cannon! A giant cannon of light formed and I pulled the cord on it, sending a giant swirl of magic energy to the ground. I waited for the smoke to clear. When it did there was around 80 mages? I wasn't sure. I didn't have time to count. The remaining mages started to attack.

Protection! I was shielded by a light barrier, blocking most of the attacks. I flew around while keeping my shield up so that I could minimize the amount of magic I'd have to use to keep this up. Finally, the shield shattered. I saw a mage flying towards me and I panicked. Sun's Blinding Light!

The room was changed into a white blur. I could see the outlines of my surroundings and the mages were colored red. Probrably due to their body heat. I took advantage of this and sent Light Orbs at the weaker mages to get them out of the way. I didn't notice a man come up behind me and punch me. I was sent soaring backwards into the wall of the guild. He stabbed a blade through my leg and another two clipped my wings to the wall. I screamed in pain. I thought to use that spell as a last ditch effort, I currently didn't have any magic left for any other spells. This one was uncontrollable though, It's all I have.

Life Wave! Demolish! I shrieked as I let my remaining magic soar out in waves. I could smell the stench of blood hit me like a slap in the face. But that was nothing compared to the searing pain in my wings and leg. I felt blood splatter on my body and mix with my own. I saw mages fall through blurred eyes. There was still a large amount though. And they were angry, injured, and ready to attack.I couldn't hold my eyes open any longer. I was completely drained. I closed my eyes and waited for my death.

But then, I heard a voice.

"LUCY!"

That voice. The male voice I had longed to hear for so long. 'You've come,' I thought to myself as I was on the brink of unconsciousness. I felt dark magic, I was weak to dark magic. I felt shivers go down my spine and back up it again. But this magic, I knew it. I saw blurry, fast images of a man and a woman. Fighting, laughing, living. It made me smile, well, as close as I could smile.

The noises of a fight died down. I heard a single pair of feet move their way towards me. I gathered all the energy I had at the moment and opened my eyes slightly. 'I must see you'

I was greeted by the blinding light of the world, and a figure in front of me. Everything was black except for a streak of white on the figure. Something clicked. "Z-Ze-" It was gone, I didn't know what I was going to say.

"Shh, Lucy. I must go now. Sorry," He said. It sounded jumbled and messed up, but I could hear what he said. I also heard the sound of retreating footsteps.

I felt my heart sink as I tried to move, to reach my arm out towards it. I couldn't. I couldn't goddamn do what I wanted to do most. I felt tears slip down my cheeks into my already bloodsoaked clothes. I lost my last bit of energy and fell unconscious. Those seven words repeating in my mind.

When I awoke I was greeted by terrible pain. I inhaled sharply, which was a mistake. My chest felt like it was going to break.

"She's awake, Laxus-san!" I heard a timid voice exclaim. I slowly opened my eyes to see the worried figures of Wendy and Laxus. I looked around slowly. Gone were the destroyed walls, dead bodies, and bloodstains. Now replaced by the cloth walls of what looked like a tent. I let my eyes wander for a moment then settle on the blue-haired girl in front of me. "Wendy?" I asked. She nodded, and I felt my pain ease away. I sighed in happiness as the terrible pain drifted away with her healing magic. I smiled at her.

"Dammit Lucy! You had us worried sick! We went into the woods for a bit to run from the guild master that followed us. When I defeated him and took any evidence on him, we rushed back here to find you passed out and surrounded by dead bodies! Did you really defeat them!?" Laxus asked, amazement lingering in his usual tone as he sat nest to Wendy. "I defeated around half, then someone came and helped me. I can't remember him though," I said sadly. Laxus nodded in understanding. "Well that's still an acomplishment. They were a powerful dark guild. You did well, " He said as he grinned. I nodded.

"S-sorry Lucy-san, If I hadn't failed my transformation then you wouldn't have had to fight," Wendy said as she began to cry.

"Wendy, you did your best. You helped me heal right? You did the best you could do. You did great, and you can call me Lucy," I said as I sat up, my injuries now much better. I smiled brightly as she looked at me through tear-filled eyes. She nodded happily and smiled back.

We wandered around for a week so I could get used to walking, near-death experiences don't do well for mages. We did random things, usually just talking in the woods or swimming. I asked for one of Laxus's shirts earlier in the week so I could do something. He reluctantly said to keep it. I then ripped it and made it into a sash that draped over my hips and tied in a bow. It was black. It felt right.

We had all gotten closer to each-other and became sort of like a family. It was nice, and before we knew it, it was time to return to the guild. We were walking through Magnolia with our things, laughing along and walking happily. Wendy was on Laxus's shoulders. I giggled at it. They looked cute together. Adorable.

When we got to the guild doors we paused for a moment. Then we decided on a big entrance. Laxus burst open one door with a lightning bolt and I burst the other open with a light orb. Then Wendy blew the doors into the guild. When we walked in we were greeted by a cheering guild.

"You guys did well?" Erza asked, seriously. I nodded happily. Natsu fumed. He really wanted to go on this trip.

We were all partying. . . well. . . the guild was, and Laxus, Wendy, and I were watching everyone drink themselves silly when Master called us up. When we went in Laxus placed a copy of our findings on his desk. Master then shuffled through it.

"Great job! BY these reports we know what was happening, have evidence, and you took care of the guild! Great! And Lucy, you did great taking care of the guild like that. I think you two deserve the missing S-Class spots," He stated proudly. I grabbed Wendy's hands and squealed girlishly. Master and Laxus smiled at us. "Shall we tell the guild of your position?" Laxus asked. We nodded eagerly.

When we walked out, Master yelled at the guild to 'shut it and listen up'.

"Due to their outstanding success on the last mission. Lucy and Wendy will take the missing S-Class positions from the previous two years!" Master yelled as he slid down the banister.

THe guild was silent for a moment before they erupted in cheers(Most of the guild) and complaints (Team Natsu + Gajeel)

"It's really fun here at Fairy Tail isn't it?" I asked Wendy.

"Yup!" She said as she beamed.
