"Lucy! You said you wouldn't hurt Natsu-nii!" Cried Romeo staring at Lucy.
"He started to attack me, not my fault." Lucy said looking over her book.
After a few hours of reading, Lucy stood up and walked out of the guild. As she did, Tenrou island Fairy Tail shot her murderous looks. She ignored them and walked out the guild. She walked past a tree and stopped.
"Fairy Tail's returned." She told the tree's that surround her.
"Thing's will get much more interesting." A voice echoed through the tree's.
Chapter 5:
Lucy walked back to the guild 2 minuets after leaving the guild. As she walked back in the guild looked confused. Lucy sat down at a table and pulled out the book again.
"Lucy-san, were did you go?" Asked Wendy, the only one from Tenrou Fairy Tail who was talking to her.
"Out." Lucy told her simply.
"Where?" Wendy asked looking more confused.
"To the forest." Lucy replied, emotionless.
"Lucy, you went there again!" Smiled Laki serving her a chocolate milkshake.
Lucy nodded in reply and smiled. She started to drink her milkshake and once it was finished, Lucy stood up and walked to the request board. She smiled when she found a high paying one. She tore it off and walked to Mira who approved of it. Lucy walked out of the guild slamming the doors as she left.
"Why does Lucy go to the forest?" Natsu asked Laki who gave him a drink.
"I don't know. It all started when she got back a week later from when you guys 'died'. That was when she arrived back to Fairy Tail and always at this time, 8:29pm, she goes to the forest and comes back 2 minuets later. She has never said why." Laki told him and smiled.
Natsu was thinking about why Lucy was going to the forest and Gray and Erza, who were sitting on the same table as him, knew what he was thinking.
"Natsu, we could follow her if your that concerned." Erza smiled, also curious about Lucy.
Natsu gave her is famous smile meaning 'sure'. It soon died and Natsu got back to fighting with Gray as Erza ate her strawberry shortcake. Lisanna tried to brake Natsu and Gray up, but they ignored her. Erza got annoyed with them and gave them a death glare making them act like best friends. Lisanna whispered something in Natsu's ear and he blushed making Erza's hair jealous. Then the doors slammed open and Lucy walked back in making Natsu, Erza, Gray and Lisanna stare at her.
"Lucy, back already?" Mira asked, getting over the fact Lucy tried to kill them.
Lucy smiled but it turned back into a frown, "Some other guild took it. Also can I participate in the Grand Magic Games this year, Master's?" Lucy smiled a little, walking to a table and looking at the masters.
"Grand Magic Games?" Erza repeated looking at Lucy forgetting what she did.
"Yeah, its an event held every year and the guild which wins gets 30,000,000 Jewels along with the title as 'Fiore's strongest guild.' But we always loose because they never choose me to fight anyone" Lucy sighed and sounding like the old Lucy. "It starts 3 months from now!"
The guild sighed and Natsu went running out of the guild shouting, "Come on Happy! Lets go train!" And then was followed by Happy's famous saying, "Aye, sir!"
Erza and Gray sighed also walking out ready to train. Along with the rest of the guild laughing and chatting. Lucy sat on the table and put her feet up, smirking.
"Lucy, your not going to train?" Asked a grinning Lisanna.
"There's no need, I'm already strong enough to beat you and any other guild." Lucy told her, smirking. Lucy knew this would annoy Lisanna, so she did it.
"Oh, really now?" Asked Lisanna, very annoyed.
"Yeah." Lucy smirked standing up and walking to her.
Lisanna gritted her teeth as Lucy's face was inches away from her face. Lucy smirked evilly sending shivers down Lisanna's back. Lisanna stepped back from Lucy who was starring at her with a ominous look.
"Do you think someone weaker than you can actual be alive or actually defeat Glimore Heart with a few attacks barely using magic. Or someone weaker than you could get Acnologia to attack Fairy Tail!" Lucy laughed as Lisanna backed away with fear.
Lisanna ran out of the guild to catch up with Natsu to tell him what Lucy just said. The guild was empty, due to everyone training. Lucy sat alone tapping her long nails on the table quickly in a beet that was for when your waiting for someone. The guild doors opened slowly and Lucy smirked.
Natsu, Erza, Gray and Lisanna did a 'have fun' exercise. They would have fun around the sea for the day before the real training. Natsu was swimming as well as Gray but then they started fighting. Lisanna was sitting under an umbrella next to Erza who was eating strawberry shortcake. After a while, Natsu came back to the beach and sat next to Lisanna who was in a daze, thinking about what Lucy said.
"Hey, Lisanna? Anyone there?" Natsu asked waving his hand in front of Lisannas face.
She got out of her trance and looked at Natsu, "Well, I asked Lucy if she was coming, and then she-" Lisanna got cut off by someone walking in front of her.
"I was doing a lot of thinking about what I said. Sorry." The person, Lucy, apologised bending down and staring straight into her face.
Lucy then stood back up and put her head on her shoulder looking to the see "But it's true!" Lucy replied back with a kind of evil in her voice.
"What's true?" Natsu asked looking at Lisanna who was holding back tears.
"By the way, don't tell them about the last thing I said!" Lucy grinned still staring to the sea.
Lisanna was terrified by what Lucy would do if she told them about the Acnologia attack. So she just told him that she called her weak. This made Natsu turn angry and was about to charge at Lucy but was stopped by Erza who was watching Lucy. Lucy walked away from them while they looked at Lisanna who looked to the floor. Lucy walked away not looking back at Natsu, Erza or Lisanna. Lucy smiled as an idea came to Lucy's mind. With that she quickly walked away, not looking back.
(Basically a flash back, but it wasn't that long ago. Lucy in the guild with the person;)
"You took long!" Lucy told the person as he sat down in front of her.
The man had pitch black hair and red eyes sat down in front of Lucy. Lucy was leaning on her hand that was leaning on the table.
"If anyone catches me here, the plan would be ruined." The man told her, emotionless.
"Don't worry, Zeref! Their all training. Their all forgetting about what I did, so I could try getting close to them again if you want." Lucy smirked as she leaned closer to Zeref.
"That won't be necessary. All you need to do is participate in the Games. But, don't let them not your true reason why your in Fairy Tail." Zeref told her, emotionless.
"Fine, fine! I really want to fight someone who's actually strong in the Games!" Laughed Lucy, leaning closer to Zeref.
Lucy put her hand on Zeref's cheek, although Zeref doesn't react, he just remained emotionless. Lucy pulled in closer that their lips brushed and they kissed. To Lucy, it lasted forever, but for Zeref it lasted a reality of a few seconds. Lucy pulled away and frowned as Zeref gave no reaction.
"They might be coming back soon. I'll see you later!" Lucy frowned still and leaned back and put her feet on the table.
Zeref nodded and got up, still no reaction to anything. He was in the guilds doorway and about to leave when Lucy started talking, "Zeref! Next time someone kisses you, you have to react! You never do, it's annoying!"
"Yeah, yeah, fine!" Zeref called back walking out the guild.
Lucy sighed and walked out of the guild to the beach, hoping Lisanna was there so she could tell her not to say a word about what she said about Acnologia. When she arrived she saw Lisanna just about to tell Natsu, so she ran over and appeared in front of her.
"I was doing a lot of thinking about what I said. Sorry." Lucy apologised.
(End of Flashback!)
Lucy was a far distance from Natsu and the others by now. Lucy smirked, 'Not necessary to get close to the guild, well that's no fun!' Lucy thought, giggling mentally.
"I have to tell you, I don't care what Lucy does, you have the right to know!" Whispered Lisanna as she watched Lucy walking .
"What is it, Lisanna?" Erza asked, concerned for her friend.
"Lucy hasn't changed! She admitted she got Acnologia to try kill us and she said, 'someone weaker than you could get Acnologia to attack Fairy Tail'. I have to tell you!" Lisanna began to look shocked as Lucy stopped walking.
Lisanna could pick out that Erza and Natsu were talking to her about this but she was to focused on Lucy. Lucy was frozen to the ground, she twitched as she heard what Lisanna said. She could hear from a 50 feet distance away. She felt Lisanna stare at her which made her more annoyed. She knew she couldn't react or the plan would be ruined. Lucy though of the perfect plan so she turned around and walked to were Natsu, Erza and Lisanna were sitting. Lisanna's eyes glistened with fear as she saw Lucy walk up to them.
"Guys, do you know if there are any high paying requests at the guild, so I don't have to go there if there's not." Lucy smiled, making Natsu and Erza doubt what Lisanna had said.
"N-no, we don't. We haven't had time to look." Erza replied smiling, that this was the Lucy they knew and loved.
"Oh, well thanks. I'm guessing I'll have to go then." Lucy gave a depressed look that made Natsu giggle a bit.
Lucy began to walk away but then stopped and shot a death glare towards Lisanna, "Please can you not make up mean rumours and spread them around, please?" Lucy started to fake cry, and Erza and Natsu glared at Lisanna, giving into Lucy's tears.
"B-but you said it yourself!" Defended Lisanna, getting looks from Erza and Natsu.
"No, why would I do that to my family? I did it because if I didn't he threatened your life's!" Lucy lied, trying to make it sound real.
Lucy fell to the floor covering her eyes as she cried fake tears. Erza and Natsu rushed over to see if she was ok. Lucy nodded and walked to the guild. Lucy overheard Erza and Natsu yell at her telling her to not make up rumours. Lucy laughed whipping away her fake tears then spotted something even more funnier, Gray getting chased by Juvia. Lucy giggled at the scene and was about to walk away when she heard Juvia call for Gray. When Lucy looked back, Gray was gone. This surprised Lucy but thought of it only natural for Gray to hide.
"Lucy!" A whisper from behind Lucy called her name. Lucy turned around to see Gray hiding behind a shop.
"What is it?" Lucy asked, trying to sound innocent.
"If Juvia asks can you say I went to the guild?" Gray asked looking around the corner to see if Juvia was coming.
"Sure." Lucy smiled but then saw Juvia approaching her.
"Love rival, are you hiding Gray-sama?" Juvia asked looking angry.
Lucy shook her head, "No, I saw him run and I asked were he was going and he said he was going to the guild. I'm going there now, you can come with me if you want!" Lucy smiled and Juvia smiled too. She nodded and they walked up to the guild.
Lucy looked over her shoulder and winked at Gray who smiled as if to say 'Thank-you-so-much'. She turned her head back to face Juvia who was going on about how she loved Gray. Lucy laughed, trying to remain innocent.
"Juvia?" Lucy looked up to Juvia who was skipping, obviously hurrying to the guild to see Gray, though he wasn't there.
"What is it?" Juvia sang looking over to see Lucy.
"Do you like Lisanna?" Lucy asked looking up to see Juvia looked shocked.
"Well, I heard that she's thinking of asking out Natsu, and she is nice, so yeah. Why?" Juvia looked concerned so Lucy smiled a reassuring smile.
"Oh, no reason I just wondered. Well, if Natsu likes her, then I will but I haven't known her that long, so I can't give an opinion!" Lucy grinned.
Lucy hated Lisanna, she hated her even more when she had told her what she especially told her not to say. Lucy sighed and watched Juvia skip up to the guild. As they reached the guild, they opened the doors and Lucy walked up to the request board. Juvia looked frantically round the room looking for Gray. She then sighed when he wasn't there. No one else was at the guild, they were probably having fun down by the beach. Juvia ran out the guild and kept looking for Gray, while Lucy looked on the request board for high paying job. Lucy smiled when she found one and tore it off. This one was to catch a dark guild for 90,000 Jewels. Lucy skipped quickly down towards the beach to look for her team, Natsu, Erza and Gray.
After a while of skipping, Lucy arrived at the beach and spotted Erza, Natsu, Gray and Lisanna talking to each other. Lucy raised off to see them and soon was standing in front of them. She held up the piece of paper with the request details on.
"This one." Lucy told them, emotionless.
"Luce, we can't do a job at the moment, we have to train." Natsu told her making Lucy frown.
"Doing " Lucy replied shoving it closer into their faces.
"Fine, fine! Can Lisanna come to?" Erza asked, giving in.
"Yeah! I've forgiven her!" Smiled Lucy putting down the paper.
"Meet at the guild in 1 hour!" Lucy told them skipping away.
Lisanna smiled a little that nothing bad would happen to her. She also thought that there's no way she's changed from her old self that much. Lisanna's smile grew larger but then saw Natsu, Erza and Gray get up to go pack. Lisanna then followed behind, still smiling.
(Time skip; 1 hour later:)
Lucy was waiting in the guild with a small bag. Erza was also waiting with a hundred bags behind her. Lisanna had a few bags that were behind her too. Gray and Natsu were the only ones not there. Then, the doors slammed open and Natsu and Gray were head to head, literally. They had angry auras over them and were shouting names at each other.
"Gray, Natsu are you two fighting?" Erza asked with a death glare that made them act like best friends.
"N-no, we're best friends, right, Natsu?" Gray asked putting on a fake smile as well as Natsu.
"A-aye!" Natsu stuttered acting like Happy number 2.
Happy flew besides Natsu, munching on a fish. Lucy giggled and began to walk out the guild followed by the rest. Out the corner of her eye she saw the forest, and thought about saying something. Lucy stopped making Natsu, Erza, Gray and Lisanna bump into Lucy. They looked to the forest were Lucy was looking and saw an empty forest.
"One second." Lucy told them and walked into the forest, "Stay there!" Lucy yelled back.
After 2 minuets, Lucy came back to see Lisanna and Natsu talking and blushing. Erza and Gray were moaning at Happy about some fish.
Lucy walked back to them making them look at Lucy, "Let's go." Lucy told them and carried on walking.
"Lucy, why do you go to the forest everyday?" Lisanna asked staring at Lucy.
"That doesn't concern you. Now hurry up! We might be late!" Lucy told them and they began to follow Lucy.
After a small walk, they arrived at the train station. Natsu was begging not to go but Erza dragged him on and Lisanna begged Erza to not be so harsh. They finally got onto the train and it started to depart. Lucy sat next to Erza who sat next to Gray. Lucy was the closet to the window so she stared out to see different places. Erza and Gray were talking and Natsu and Lisanna were chatting and blushing, over Natsu's green face, it was barely noticeable. Something made everyone stop what they were doing and stare at Lisanna and Natsu.
"Natsu, I... I... love you!" Lisanna just blurted out, making Lucy stare with her mouth an 'o' shape.
"Huh? L-Lisanna?" Natsu asked falling backwards and hitting his head on the window.
Lisanna blushed and looked to the ground, she kept her eyes there for a few minuets, ignoring the team talk. After the few minuets, she looked up to see Lucy resting her head on her hand, which was resting on the table, and talking and laughing with Natsu. As Natsu hit his head on the table after feeling sick, Lucy shot her a look as if to say 'I-win'. Lisanna knew now that she was in a competition with Lucy for Natsu. Although, Lucy was only doing this to annoy Lisanna.
After a long train journey, they exited the train and Natsu fell to the floor kissing the ground. They then walked to the Mayor who posted the job. A large building was standing in front of them, with a large wooden door. Lucy pushed the door open and shouts were heard through the building. A man carrying papers ran past them. Lucy totally ignored the screams and walked to the wooden doors in front of them. She opened it to find the mayor clenching his head and shacking it.
"We're here for the job, we're Fairy Tail." Lucy told the mayor walking to face him. "Hey, you were the client them few jobs ago!" Lucy smirked leaning closer to his face.
"I-it's you! I didn't expect you! If it's you doing the job, it's cancelled!" The mayor shouted pointing to the door.
"All I did was destroy the forest! And... a few buildings." Lucy looked to the ground then heard Natsu laugh.
"Luce is destroying stuff now? This will be fun!" Natsu laughed and made him fall to the floor.
"If that's your team, you can do this job if you make sure this girl doesn't destroy anything!" The mayor shouted and the team nodded.
The mayor started talking about the job and once he finished, Lucy found an inn to stay for the night. They walked in and found a room for each other. They started coming up a plan with how to get into the dark guild.
"I say we barge in there and start attacking!" Lucy smiled at her plan and the others agreed, "Well, I'm going to bed, see you in the morning." Lucy yawned and began to walk out.
"Hey, Luce. Why do you have your keys?" Natsu asked holding them up.
Lucy turned around, "If their not strong, there's no point using my true magic." Lucy told him and began to walk over to him but slipped.
Lucy landed on top of Natsu and grabbed her keys, "Natsu are you ok? You've gone red. Are you sure you haven't caught a cold?" Lucy asked leaning in closer to Natsu which made him blush even more.
"Oi, get off of him!" Yelled Lisanna pulling Lucy off Natsu.
"Huh? You want to fight, Lisanna?" Lucy asked shooting death glares at her.
"Bring it on!" Lisanna yelled as she and Lucy started to charge at each other.
Kind of a filler chapter, but it explains stuff needed for the next chapters. Like Lucy hates Lisanna. Lucy will be getting close to them to trust her when... I can't tell you that! And that Lisanna loves Natsu and now it's a competition between Lucy and Lisanna for Natsu. Although, Lucy doesn't love him. Also, that mysterious man is Zeref. And they're might be a relationship between them! So yeah, ZerCy, NaLu and NaLi this chapter! I'll update soon!
