Yo! Starting this chapter on an update on what happened ithevpoison past seven years. More detailed. Yay!

It has been seven years since Sting, Rogue, and Lucy joined Sabertooth. Their first S-class mission was a success. But Lucy was plagued with horrendous nightmares and flashbacks for around a year following it. She was often comforted by the guild and Sting and Rogue. She eventually regained her sanity and life returned to normal in the guild. Sabertooth's fame has risen dramatically at the news of five extremely powerful mages, thus, the five are often recognized in Sorcerers Weekly magazine and in the news For their feats. Lucy often stayed in the background. People were so nosy, she couldn't stand it. So sting covered for her.

Everyone adores the Twin Dragons of Sabertooth and their Angel. There are numerous rumors speculating their relationships. But Lucy remains ignorant while the Dragons do indeed like their Angel.

Things stayed like this until one day in X791. When a certain guild is recovered from the ocean. And news of the new Grand Magic Games is everywhere.

Now onto the story at hand, we turn to a certain Angel.

Sting. . . Rogue? What happened?

Lucy frantically looked around the arena, her eyes settling on two barely conscious forms lying on the ground.

No.

She looked around, she heard loud cheering.

Fairy tail! Fairy tail!

And there you have it folks! The Twin Dragons of Sabertooth have been defeated by the flame dragon slayer from Fairy Tail! Natsu Dragneel!

. . . Natsu . . . Dragneel?

Lucy's eyes widened.

He did this?

The man known as Natsu was smiling and waving wildly at the crowd. Flames surrounded the broken arena.

Sting and Rogue stopped moving.

No.

No. No. No. No! NO!

"NO!" Lucy yelled as she sprang up out of her bed. She looked around. There was no crowd. There were no flames. Sting and Rogue were not dead.

'Thank god,' Lucy thought.

"Lucy!" Yelled two very concerned dragonslayers. Their eyes darted across the room and settled on the heavily breathing Lucy. Her silvery blonde hair practically glowed in the moonlight streaming through the window. He eyes looked shocked. Then calmed down as she softly smiled at them. They walked towards her and sat on opposite edges of the bed.

"What happened?" Rogue said calmly, although the worried look in his eyes said a different story as he brushed some stray hair out of her face with his thumb.

"Nightmare," Lucy stated simply.

Sting's happy face fell with concern. "Again? Have they returned?" He asked as he sighed. They had spent many sleepless nights trying to rid her of her nightmares six years ago, they still came back sometimes.

"No, not this time." Lucy shook her head, "it was more like a premonition dream."

Rogue tilted his head at this.

"It is nothing major, do not worry about it. I am fine," Lucy said, trying to convince herself more than them.

"Well we'll stay here for the night, we can't have those dreams coming back now can we?" Sting said without any sarcasm or perviness. He only truely acted like himself in front of Lucy, Rogue, Rufus, Orga, and Minerva(who is still the guildmaster).

"Fine," Lucy said, she knew they wouldn't back down now that they have laid her back on her black and white bed and got comfortable. While Sting and Rogue took their sides and both rested an arm protectively over Lucy, as if to scare off the bad dreams. Lucy bathed in their warmth as she said goodnight and drifted off to sleep. Sting quickly followed suit. Rogue smiled to himself and whispered a goodnight into Lucy's ear, before he too joined them in dreamland.

Rogue's Pov

I got up and 's bed was comfortable, but it wasn't mine. I looked over to Lucy and noticed that a certain dragonslayer was missing. I glanced around looking for a note that he would've left. I found a note scribbled in Sting's catastrophe he calls handwriting hanging off the floor-length mirror across the room. I slowly slipped out of the bed and shuffled over to the note, trying to keep Lucy asleep.

Rogue,

I left for the guild early and have errands to run all morning. I took Fro and Lector with me. Keep Lucy company and watch what she does, her nightmare frightened me and shes been disappearing more often lately. I'm worried.

I'll come back around noon and we'll go to the guild together. There's supposed to be a big announcement.

P.S. Don't be pervy to Lucy ;) Sting.

I cringed at that last sentence. 'Only you would think of that,' I thought as I imagined many ways to torture him later. I heard stirring coming from the bed and swiveled around to face Lucy as I threw the note in the trash. "Morning, " I calmly said as she stretched. "Ah, good morning Rogue. What time is it?"

I turned to look at the time. "It's 8."

Lucy looked out the windows for confirmation, and nodded her head. "I'll take a shower," She finally said as she stood up and glided across the floor into the bathroom and swiftly closed the door. I took this opportunity to glance around her room. It had been awhile since I've actually been in here. We used to come here often when Lucy had nightmares. She had pictures up of us and the guild. She also had a few more bookcases jammed with research materials. Many of them had pages sticking out of them and scribblings in them. She had taken an interest in dragons many years ago, and now had many volumes surrounding the dragons and their magic. She also had numerous books about all forms of magic, I ran my fingers down the spine of a large volume on dragons.

I wasn't absolutely sure but I do believe

she may be the most powerful mage I know.

I was in the middle of my thoughts when she emerged out of the bathroom. She really was beautiful, her hair still ran down past her hips and was slightly curled at the end. It was often tied in some way with red ribbons, but I liked it the most when it hung down free. She wore a white lacy dress that flowed out like silk just past her knees. with Lace arm-warmers with red ribbons crossed around them. She had a red choker and still walked barefoot. She now wore two limiters on her fingers to contain her magic power and she tended to like to wear masks that covered the top half of her face and had silver cloth running over her eyes. She enchanted it so she could see normally and in the dark. She often wore an enchanted red cloak that had a cowl that hid her face.

She hated when people stared at her eyes.

She only took off her mask in dire circumstances or in front of the guildmembers-only. It is a shame that she hides her eyes.

"Your turn," she said softly as she looked at me. "Okay," I replied, my stoic expression covering my features.

She smiled at me as she walked by and closed her window, it had gotten cold through the night but I had not noticed. I walked by her and went into the bathroom.

Once I was in I made quick work of stripping and washing myself so I wouldn't keep Lucy waiting too long. When I emerged from the bathroom I saw that Lucy was sitting at her desk near the window. She had shut the curtains and was hunched over something in obvious concentration. I went into shadow form and slunk behind her to watch what she was doing 'Sorry, Lucy' I thought to myself.

She had gotten out a few journals and a research lacarima and was searching the name of one man.

Natsu Dragoneel

I glanced at what she was writing and she had started writing an entry in a journal of dragons and their dragonslayers.

Natsu Dragoneel. 18. Fire dragon slayer, son of Igneel.

Personal information: Reckless, destructive, has no sense of control or personal space. Is very much loved by the Fairy Tail guild.

Magic: Very powerful dragonslayer for his age. Well known for his abilities and highly regards nakama.

Personal opinion:Idiot, naive, hothead, powerful, has recently returned from Fairy Tail's sacred island of Tenroujima along with the core members of his guild. Must look into.

Observe and keep track of at all costs. Keep away from Rogue and Sting.

I slid across the floor and back into the bathroom. 'Why is she so cautious of this man? Why does she need to keep us away from him? I must inform Sting.' I thought hastily as I acted normal and opened the bathroom. Lucy looked up from what she was writing and carefully slid her notebooks into a drawer in her desk. I smiled slightly at her and glanced at the clock. It was 9 am.

"Lucy how about we go train in the forest?" I suggested. She nodded and went to put on her mask and cloak. She clipped it around her shoulders as she jumped out the window, I followed. 'When did we stop using the door?' I thought as I smiled to myself. Life hasn't changed at all.

We walked as Lucy hummed quietly to herself. I loved it when she sang or hummed. She seemed so angelic when she hummed, otherworldly. She just seems to light up everything around her. Even when she's cold, she radiates a comforting feeling for myself and the rest of the guild. We all have come to act like a family. TO replace the one Lucy had lost. When she laughed, or cried, or smiled, we all felt it.

I fell in love with this girl. Lucille Heartfilia.

She kept a thick wall protecting herself from the rest of the world. But we were welcomed in with open arms. She even went to the extent of not showing her weaknesses, wearing her masks, being called Ace. She kept up the alias of Ace, the angel that brings balance between light and shadow. I came to like her nickname.

(A/N:Lucy no longer has her light and dark abilities. Sting and Rogue have that covered. Lucy now contains Water, Fire, Earth, Wind, and Ice abilities + her wings)

We sparred for a couple of hours without magic. I had realized long ago that we truely were on different levels. But it doesn't hurt to train to become stronger. It's always fun with Lucy as well.

We finished and walked back to the apartment to find Sting sleeping on the couch with Lector and Frosch poking his face. Lucy bent down in front of Sting and stared at the three, and then joined in while I sweatdropped. I watched in awkward silence for a minute before intervening.

"Sting," I said as I shook him and waited a few seconds. Second try.

"Sting!" I semi-yelled. No reply. Finally I was fed up with him and smushed my foot into his face.

"Wha-ROGUE GET YOUR FOOT OFF ME!" Sting yelled after he broke out of his sleep induced stupor. Lucy giggled.

"Yo, you said we would go to the guild together?" I reminded him as Lucy helped him to his feet.

"Oh yeah, let's go! I heard Minerva had an announcement for the guild!" Sting said enthusiastically as he practically dragged us out the door. ONce we were out we headed for the guild. The place had been upgraded and was now a bit out of the city. So we had to walk a bit.

"Sting," I said softly so that Lucy wouldn't hear from her place around ten yards ahead.

"What?" He asked, quietly.

"You told me to check on Lucy after her nightmare. She had done research on Natsu Dragoneel and was writing an entry in her dragonslayers book about him. She wrote to 'Observe and keep track of at all costs. Keep away from Sting and Rogue.' I think he may have been in her dream, for her to take such sudden interest in a stranger," I said as I stated what I had found out. Sting had a quizzical look on his face as he looked up in thought.

"Natsu-san, eh? Why would he be in her dream?" He asked as he glanced at me. "I-" I was about to reply when I realized Lucy said we were at the guild. I nodded and followed her in with Sting and our exceeds.

"Oi! We were waiting for you guys!" Minerva yelled from her place, perched on the second floor balcony. Everyone had gathered on the ground to listen to her announcement.

"Well, I have exciting news. There is this new event called Daimatou Enbu, or Grand Magic Games. It's a competition to determine the strongest guild in Fiore! Most of the guilds will be participating and we will as well!" Everyone cheered.

"The games consists of random magic challenges and magic battles between members of opposing guilds. We will send a five person team to represent Sabertooth! It is held in Crocus in three months. The contestants I've decided will go will be," Minerva paused for dramatic effect. 'Typical, flashy Minerva,' I mused.

"Rufus Lore!"

Rufus tilted his rather large hat with a pink feather and bowed.

"Orga Nanagear!"

Orga pumped his fists as he wrapped one of his arms around Rufus.

"Sting Eucliffe!"

Sting smiled his cocky smirk. Lector started singing a song about 'The great Sting-kun'

"Rogue Cheney!"

I nodded my head in acknowledgement.

"And Lucille 'Ace' Heartfilia!"

Lucy's eyes widened as numerous shouts and hollers erupted throughout the guild. She nodded slightly as she blushed.

'Cute' I thought.

'Bad Rogue!'

"You all may go off to train for awhile! Good luck to you all! I will be accompanying you to make sure everything goes right," Minerva yelled as she dropped down from the balcony.

"Good luck in the games!" She said to us as she shook our hands. 'So formal'

Yayyyyyyyyy, I'm not good for cuteness or romance so I'll work on that. But yayyyyyyy still :)There was something I was gonna say but forgot. Oh well :P
