Chapter 3

*At Fairy tail*

After Lucy and Juvia left the guild, they all changed. There were no more fights, parties, or talking. All they could remember was the angry look on Juvia's face and the tears running down Lucy's face. The people who felt the worst were the people of Team Natsu. They were the main people talking, and all they did was call her weak, useless, and helpless. Levy felt horrible as well, she cried into Gajeel's chest for hours.

"I've had enough of this." said Natsu as he got up.

"And where are you going?" Gray asked over his shoulder.

"Where do you think. I'm going to go and apologize to Lucy." said Natsu.

"If that's the case, I'm going to." Erza said.

Soon enough, everyone of Team Natsu, with Levy and Wendy, ended up heading to Lucy's place. When they reached her home, her door was unlocked. They were expecting to hear Lucy yell or something when they came in, but they didn't hear anything. Actually, the place was completely empty and cold. The desk and dresser was covered in dust and the bed was cold.

"You guys don't think she left do you?" said Wendy.

"Hey guys, I found something." Levy said as she stood over the desk. They all surrounded her and saw a paper in her hand. She began to read it.

Dear Fairy Tail,

If you are reading this, then that means you have found out that we have left Magnolia. We both thought that Fairy Tail was a place where anyone would be accepted, even if they weren't the strongest people around, but I guess we were both wrong. First, you guys made me suffer by ignoring me for nothing, then you ended up doing the same to her. So now, we're going to become stronger and create a new reputation for us in a new guild. And don't bother finding us, because we aren't coming back.

Sincerely, Lucy and Juvia.

P.S. We have already removed our guild marks.

When Levy finished reading the note, everyone felt nothing but sadness and guilt. Wendy was on her knees with her hands over face as she began to cry, along with Happy. Erza and Gray sat down on Lucy's old bed and began to silently cry. Levy's tears fell onto the note she still had in her hands. Natsu just stood where he was and let tears fall to the floor. They all began to murmur 'Please come back' and 'We're sorry'.


*With Lucy and Juvia*

Right now, Lucy and Juvia are in an open plain that was next to a giant lake on the edge of a forest where they are going to train. Lucy was now wearing a dark blue tank top that stooped above her stomach and she on black jeans that reached her ankles. She had on black knee high boots, black gloves that reached her elbows, her usual brown belt that held her whips and keys, and she still had her black cloak and her hair was still let down. Juvia decided to keep herself the same with her outfit and cloak. Lucy was about to summon the water dragon, Suirō, for training.

"OPEN GATE OF THE WATER DRAGON: SUIRO." Lucy chanted.

A blue magic circle appeared under her and so did some blue mist. When they both disappeared, a boy about Lucy's age appeared. He had messy hair just like Natsu, but his bangs covered one of his yes, which were a dark blue color. He wore a black tank top and blue baggy jeans. He wasn't wearing any shoes and his hands were wrapped in bandages that went up to his elbows.

"It is a real pleasure to finally meet my new master." said Suirō

"Well, at least he's polite." Juvia said to herself.

"You don't have to call me master, my name's Lucy. So, when am I able to summon you?" Lucy asked.

"Any time for you, Lucy." Suirō said, with a slight blush as he scratched the back of his head.

"You know, you don't look any thing like a dragon." said Lucy.

"Oh, that's because I'm in y human form." said Suirō.

"Can you still teach me in this form of yours?" Lucy asked.

"Of course I can!" said Suirō with some excitement.

"Don't get to excited. I just need you to teach me the basic moves first. I'll tell you when I want more advanced training." Lucy said with her arms crossed.

Right." said .

"Ok, I want to get started right now. Do you think you can do that for me?" Lucy asked as she began to remove her cloak. Suirō began to blush even more, but he was able to calm himself down again.

"Yeah. Of course." said Suirō. After that, they both walked into the lake and stood in a spot that made sure the water only reached their ankles. They both began to fight hand to hand. Lucy's expression didn't change any bit during the fight, so Suirō couldn't tell what her actions were going to be until she did them. That helped her, but Suirō just began to use his magic.

"WATER DRAGON: ROAR!" yelled Suirō. A spiral of water shot out at Lucy and for a moment, Lucy had looked surprised. The attack had hit her head on and sent flying back into a tree that was close to where Juvia was sitting on a rock.

"Lucy!" Juvia cried.

Juvia ran over to where Lucy was lying against a broken tree. Lucy's face was scrunched up from pain. Her arms, legs, and face had cuts all over them and her clothes were slightly torn up. Lucy slowly began to open her eyes, to only see Juvia and Suirō above her with worried expressions.

"Lucy, are you alright?!" Juvia asked frantically. When Lucy fully saw them, she regained her emotionless expression and tone.

"I'm fine." said Lucy as she began to sit up straight. She placed her right hand on left arm where there was a deep gash.

"Oh man! I am so sorry!" said Suirō with his hands on his head.

"It's alright. I said I'll be fine." Lucy said as she took out a key.

"OPEN GATE OF THE MAIDEN: VIRGO." Lucy chanted. A magic circle appeared and when it vanished, Virgo appeared.

"Do you wish to punish me Princess?" asked Virgo.

"Not the time Virgo. I would like you to patch me up." Lucy said.

"Very well." said Virgo. Suddenly, bandages appeared in Virgo's hands. She began to wrap the bandages around Lucy's wounds. When she finished, Lucy's entire right leg, her right shoulder, her left fore arm, and her left ankle were wrapped up.

"I am all finished Princess." said Virgo.

"Thank you Virgo." Lucy said before Virgo vanished. Juvia then helped Lucy stand up to face Suirō.

"Suirō, tomorrow we'll continue our training For now, you can go home." said Lucy.

"Tomorrow? But, Your injuries." said Suirō.

"I'm going to get stronger and finish this training, know matter what." Lucy said. Suirō knew that she was determined, so he just left.

"Lucy, I'll set up camp. You just rest here." said Juvia.

Juvia set down Lucy down against a tree and began to put up their tent and gather fire wood. And ever since then, Lucy spent an entire month learning the basic dragonslayer moves with Suirō and Juvia also did her own training to prepare for Saber tooth and the games.
