Heyyyyyyyy! The Lost Hope here! Yes yes I'm updating early for unknown reason, but all I can say is IM ON A ROLLLLLL! XD Leave a review! I wanna know if chapter 3 was kinda crappy… I kinda felt it was… and for the next few chapters I might just make it about Lucy's POV, should I do that? Or should I do the guild's POV too? It's up to you guys! I won't know if you guys don't tell me! So leave me a review to make me happy!

I am dying. Literally. After the 200 pushups and 300 sit ups (I can't believe I actually was able to do them!), my arms and stomach felt like they were internally bleeding, but stupid Crescent doesn't freakin care… stupid wolf… The blonde figure huffed wiping sweat off her face, her arm sore as hell.

"Now, onto balance!" Crescent said excitingly! Lucy groaned. Crescent really knew how to send a person to their living hell. "I want you balance this shadow vase on your head while on one foot, each foot for 30 minutes. I'll take a nap, if you drop the vase extra 30 minutes!" he called while laying down at the roots of a partially dead tree. Lucy huffed and tried to cross her arms around her chest but failed. That's how much it hurt.

"Can't you give me a damn break old man?" she whined. Crescents ears perked.

"Did you just call me old?" he called from his napping place slowly, a dark aura coming from him.

"N-no…" Lucy stuttered. She was getting scared from this geezer already.

"Good." Crescent replied before snapping his fingers, creating a tall and delicate shadow vase. Lucy just sighed and put the vase on top of her head. This was going to be a long day. After her 3 hour balance training (yes, she dropped the vase 4 times XD) they were now focusing on flexibility. "Com'mon Lucy! Stretch! Oh who gives a shit!" he growled as he pushed completely onto the ground.

"YEEOOOOWWWW!" She cried, a single tear escaped her eyelid. "That hurt you fuckin bastard!" she snarled.

"Well at least you can completely do your straddle." He said with a smirk. Lucy looked down and saw what Crescent said was true. She was in a complete straddle position with the pain slowly vanishing. She still growled at him. You didn't need to do that… "Now onto your splits!" he said with a evil smirk. "NOOOOO!" Lucy cried. After another 2 hours of flexibility, Lucy was finally able to do a split with both legs, successfully keep her legs strait and getting her head to touch her knees and her palms to touch the floor, do a backbend and lie completely on her stomach while doing a straddle. Well, not with out Crescent's 'help'.

"Your killing Crescent! Your killing me!" Lucy sobbed while rocking back and forth on the balls of her feet crouching down and hugging her knees. Crescent only shook his head and sighed.

"It's your fault for not being flexible." He commented before yawning. Lucy only glared at him through watery tears. "Now, we need to start the basics. Once we got those down we could find another magic that could go along with your shadow magic…" Crescent said while in deep thought. Lucy only hummed in return. She was now excited, she wanted to learn this from the start! Not the other crap…

"Alright Lucy, you need to focus on this. No dozing off ok. This is extremely important." He told her sternly. Lucy only nodded in response. "You need to calm yourself down, feel the earth, almost like sinking into it, you will feel like you're in a murky mess. But in this mess, you will feel sleepy, but you can't sleep you hear me! You can't sleep! You need to wait until you feel warmth and light. Feel not see or hear. You must absorb it. You must! Alright. From there on you are on your own. Everyone has their own way to feel their magic, so I can't tell you what to do. Are you ready?" he asked. Lucy took a deep breath and looked at him, eyes full of determination.

"Let's do this thing!" she cheered. Crescent looked taken back then laughed.

"You really are a strange one." He commented. She only pouted. "Alright. Calm yourself and just sink in." he said.

"Alright." Lucy said before taking a deep breath and clearing her mind. She imagined herself slowly floating, creeping from her body into the moist dirt and coldness of the Earth. It was calming. She sighed and felt herself sink in deeper. Soon enough she was wrapped in a blanket of fuzziness and black. Her vision was hazy and she felt very sleepy. Uhhhhh, need to stay awake… Ugggg… her eyes felt so droopy… a minute wouldn't hurt right? Hmmm, yah, a minute of shut eye would be nice… You can't fall asleep you hear! You can't sleep! Lucy's eyes shot open, just before slowly going back down. DON'T FALL ASLEEP! This time Lucy fully opened her eyes. She knew that voice anywhere. "Natsu…" she whispered, eyes big, sleep long gone. For a second she saw his face, his rosy pink hair and that lovable grin that made her heart flutter. "Natsu…" That memory made her feel so warm, light. She couldn't see any light but she felt so warm, she just wanted to be covered in it. Slowly, the warmth spread, from her heart all the way to the tip of her finger and toes, she was covered head to toe in the warm fluffy warmth. She hummed in approval. Ohhhhh~ so nice… she sighed in content. A sudden burst of light invaded her vision. She blinked her eyes, shocked from the sudden light and looked up to see where it came from. It was from a small ball. The ball seemed to taunt her, the ball so warm and her now freezing, the early warmth gone. She shivered as she tried to desperately tried to catch the warm ball but failed miserably. She growled in frustration. "Come here you damn ball!" she yowled as she suddenly tripped on a unknown object, while finally managing to catch the fluffy white ball. The white suddenly disappeared, leaving only white whisps in Lucy's palms. "Eh? Where did it go?" she said looking around. She now found herself in an unknown place. There was nothing around her. Just grass, like a prairie. But a foreign scent wafted her nose. Blood! She whipped her head, eyes widening at the sight in front of her. Natsu, Erza, Gray, Happy and Lisanna all standing there, fighting an unknown enemy. They were all heavily injured. Lisanna was panting erratically while desperately trying to fight back the man with bandages covering his face, Erza heavily breathing while Gray clutching a gash at his side, Happy was heavily bruised and Natsu injuries worse than all of them. Multiple cuts and gashes all over, a forming black eye, blood dripping down his face, and swollen body parts, claiming he had broken bones. But still, they were all fighting back with all they got. "I got to do this for Lucy! I have to pay her back for all the times she saved me from trouble!"urged the familiar voice of Lisanna. Lisanna. "Lucy wouldn't want us to give up!"Gray cheered. Gray… "FairyTail wouldn't go down without a fight!"Erza cried. Erza… "For Lucy!" Natsu shouted. Natsu, I missed you all… but before she could say anything, to tell them she was alive and well. A sword slashed across Gray's chest, leaving Gray on the grass panting hard. "GRAY!" we all cried. Odd, they don't seem to notice me, maybe they can't see me… she waved her hand in Natsu's pinched face. Yep. They can't see me… she glanced at Gray and growled. How dare they hurt her Nakama like that! She yelped when the bandage faced man lunged at Erza and with one punch knocked her to the ground. Erza gasped for air as she curled into her aching stomach. Lisanna gasped along with Natsu's roar out of anger. "BASTARD!" He snarled. He lunged at him but the man was much too fast for him in his current state. He swiftly dodged his fiery fist and slammed his fist into Natsu's chin. Natsu only grunted and tried to kick but only failed when he caught his leg and flipped him, crushing him to the ground. "Fariy Tail you say! You're going to need to try harder to get me!" the man taunted. Natsu only groaned in response. "You should be happy I'm only going to end your life now instead of continuing on your terrible life. Lucy stood in shock at the scene in front of her. Erza was down along with Gray. Lisanna was trapped in an enchantment cage, pounding on the invisible walls screaming. Happy lying motionless on the ground and Natsu about to die. Anger and denial pulsing through her veins. How dare he touch her nakama like that! How dare he talk bad about them! HOW DARE HE! Lucy shouted a cry full of anger and hatred toward the man in front of her, the man hiding behind his bandages, a coward. Black wisps surrounded her body and covered her arms. He was going to pay. A black shadow skimmed across the grass and stabbed the man through the stomach and out the back. The man instantly dropped to the ground coughing blood, hands around the hole in his stomach. Lisanna looked at Lucy, first fear, then shock then…happiness.

"LUUCYYY!" She screamed tears of happiness dropping from her eyes. Lucy looked at her hands, eyes wide in shock and confusion. Did she just do that? Did she just kill a man? Her hands shook, but she quickly clenched them tight. She did this for her nakama, for Natsu. She turned her head to Lisanna and smiled a small smile. She quickly looked at Natsu, his eyes were open and tear filled.

"Lucy…" he whimpered. She only smiled at him. Lisanna's cage was now gone and she came running toward Lucy. Lucy looked down at her hands to find the glowing, her whole body was glowing, and she realized what was happening she looked at both Natsu and Lisanna, gave them a full, heartwarming smile and a small wave goodbye before completely disappearing in the glowing flash.

Soooooo, what do ya think? :3 good? Like I said do you think I should just do Lucy's POV for now? Leave a Review! Tell me what you think!
