"Lucy come here." Aconolgia said with a booming voice at the entrance of the cave.
"Coming!" Lucy replied back from where she was practicing her dragon slaying techniques. "What up pops." Lucy asked while running up to Aconolgia. Lucy started calling the dragon king pops after the first year of training and after she found out that the dragon king was protective of her when a forest Vulcan. Lucy decided that Aconolgia was a better father to her than her actual father.
"Luce I am proud to say that you have finished your training in just four years now it is time for you to begin your final stage in becoming the Balancer. You must join a guild." Aconolgia told his adoptive daughter.
"What? I can't. I am a Fairy Tail mage." Lucy said.
"Yes you can. It's the only way to finish your training." Aconolgia said. "I did not train you for four years, for you to just give up. Now the guild you will be joining is called Sabertooth. They recently had two dragon slayers join and your Uncle Jiemma is the master." Aconolgia informed Lucy.
"Uncle Jiemma, the one on my mother's side?" Lucy asked and Aconolgia nodded.
"Now use your cloaking magic and be on your way. The dragon slayers will be able to smell dragon on you if you don't."Aconolgia warned.
"Where is the guild?" Lucy asked finally giving in.
"It's just over the mountains. You can use your teleportation magic if you would like." Aconolgia said. Lucy nodded, said a quick good bye and left the cave. Lucy then ran into the forest when Aconolgia wasn't looking and leaned against a tree.
When she was sure no one was looking she knocked three times on the trunk of the tree just then an yellow exceed flew down from the tree.
"Lu-Lu your back." The exceed cheered and Lucy smiled.
"Kiko, I need you to take me to the villiage right away. I came to say goodbye." Lucy whispered.
"Ok, follow me." The yellow exceed said and flew away with Lucy following.
They came to a clearing and exceeds were everywhere. Lucy stepped into the middle of the clearing and all the exceeds watched her. Just then a white exceed with a golden crown stepped forward.
"Lucy-san, what brings you back? You usually come on weekends." The exceed questioned.
"Your majesty, I came to say good bye. Aconolgia is sending me some where to finish my training. I also came to say that Carla, Happy and Panther Lily have not showed up, but I will inform when they do." Lucy told the queen of exceeds.
"Thank you for being our friend for so many years and for the information of our former exceeds. We would like to give you a good bye gift. You see recently an exceed had died from poisonous berries and now we have an orphaned child on our hands. We would like it if you take care of him for us?" the queen asked.
"Really? If you guys need help you know all you need to do is ask."Lucy said.
"So…." All the exceed questioned.
"Ha, I would be happy to." Lucy smiled brightly. During the past few years Lucy had stumbled upon the exceeds when she was trying to get a break from training.
She found out that Happy's parents lived there and Carla's mother was the queen. So she came back on weekends, when Aconolgia would give her a break, and told them if anything had changed with Fairy Tail's disappearance. When an older looking exceed came out of one of the houses they had built. It was a little exceed that was sleeping, it's fur was a light brown, it had round shaped ears and it had chocolate brown eyes like mine. The elder exceed put the younger in my arms.
"Take good care of him, his name is Duffy." The exceed told me. I nodded and she walked away.
"Well then Miss Lucy you should be on your way fare well." The queen told me.
With that Lucy transported to the front of Sabertooth's doors and sighed. She kicked the doors open and saw hundreds of people staring at her. Out of nowhere two guys stood in front of Lucy blocking her pathway to her uncle's office, Lucy's face went emotionless. One of the guys had blonde and had a scar next to his eye and the other one had black hair and crimson eyes.
"Excuse me." Lucy said. Lucy had to hide herself from any emotions at Sabertooth because she still belongs to Fairy Tail. "I need to talk to your master."
"Why, do you want to join Sabertooth?" Blondie asked.
"Yeah." I replied shortly.
"Don't you know that weaklings like you don't get to join the guild." The same boy laughed and a tick mark appeared on my head.
"How do you know if I'm a weakling? For all I know you guys could be the weaklings and are just pretending to be all high and mighty." Lucy snapped at the dragon slayer. By now the whole guild was listening in on the conversation.
"How dare you call me, the great Sting Eucliffe, weak?" Sting shouted.
"You are annoying me." Lucy sighed.
"Who are you anyways?" The black haired guy finally spoke up.
"Me, how 'bout you?" Lucy asked.
"If I am mistaken I asked you first." He countered.
"Touché." Lucy smirked, and then stuck out her hand after adjusting Duffy in her arms. "Name's Lucy Heartfilia, celestial mage, and others. This is my new friend Duffy, he's an exceed." Lucy introduced herself and Rogue took her hand and shook it firmly.
"Rogue Cheney, Shadow Dragon Slayer, and this is my idiot partner who is a Light Dragon Slayer. We also have exceeds." Rogue said and ignored the 'Hey' that came from his partner.
"Oh, so you're the dragon slaying duo. Maybe we could battle sometime." Lucy smirked.
"Yeah, you wish. What makes you think that a celestial mage could beat us and by the way we already have a celestial mage who has three golden keys." Sting bragged.
"If you were listening closely I said I have other magic other than celestial magic. But I'll only reveal those in battle." Lucy told Sting. She shoved passed the dragon duo and headed towards the office but before she opened the door she looked back at the two boys. "By the way, I have 10 golden keys." Lucy smirked.
I am sorry about the time skip but i am not very good with that kind of stuff but if you would like me to write it, please review and I will try to. But it will be a separate story.
Please review for this story about who I should pair Lucy for. Rogue or Sting.
