Lucy P.O.V.
"Mira, I need to go fight. I can help Laxus, we can do a Unison Raid. And beat the Phantoms so much quicker! Mira, I have to go fight!" I cried. I was on my knees, begging her to let me go help.
"I can't do that, Lucy. Laxus has changed very much since you left. He has become rebellious and distanced himself from many people. For him to go off and fight in the name of Fairy Tail is such a relief. He is disturbed by his father. He was going to leave Fairy Tail when you showed up in the morning. He seemed to blame himself for something, as well."
I looked down at my feet. I knew for the longest time, Laxus thought I left because of him. I managed to get a letter out to him through my nursemaid. Mom, if you're looking my way right now, can you please protect him? He's fighting for me. It was heartbreaking to see his back to me as he walked away to join the rest of the guild to fight. "It's my fault."
Mira looked at me, her smile reminded me of Mom's, kind and forgiving. "Lucy, you do realize it's not just you. We're fight for our pride. I want to go fight, too."
"Then let's go! We're both S-Class wizards, we can help even if it's not a lot, Mira."
She sighed. "Fine, but this was your idea. Laxus will be furious if you get hurt."
"What are you waiting for?" I asked, already running to the door.
