A/N: Sorry, guys about the last chapter. It's quite short. My mind is swirling again.

Last chapter:

"Laxus-san, who am I?"

'What's with this girl? Is she pulling a prank on me' Laxus thought as his frustration grew. 'Okay, little missy, I know you're from Team Natsu, the so-called most powerful team in all of Fairy Tail but you can't just go around and prank anyone you like. I am Laxus, leader of Thunder God Tribe. You might have beaten Bickslow but not me.' And with that, Laxus zapped the girl using only a little bit of his magic, who is earnestly waiting for the answer.

"Ouch! You jerk, what was that for?!" the girl shouted, all red from anger.

"That, my little Blondie is for trying to pull a prank on me." He turned around and chuckled to himself, satisfied in teaching a lesson to the girl that it's not nice to prank the Great and Almighty Laxus. However, his satisfaction is short lived as the next thing he knew is that he is flying fifty feet into the forest. 'Overconfidence must also run in the family. I hate you, Gramps!'

Before smacking himself into a nearby tree, Laxus teleported back into the hut they stayed. There he found the girl, backing up, surprised that he was able to be back in such a sudden. In her posture, he could tell she fears him but looking up to her face, he could see otherwise. This girl has bite to back-up her bark. She's still red for crying out loud!

"Okay, enough of the chitchat! Why zap me like that for asking such a simple question?!" She fumed.

"For pranking me, duh! First, I took care of you for three months. THREE F***ING MONTHS and dare I say, you were unconscious! Second, I comforted you just a while ago, didn't you remember that?! And all I get was a prank?!" He growled.

"A prank?! You think it was a prank?! Laxus, I just woke up, why would I pull a prank on anyone, at the very least, to my own savior?!" She matched his growl and scowled.

'Savior. She called me her savior?" At those words, Laxus felt his heart skipped a beat. He looked away, trying to cover his blushing face.

"What?!" She asked, scrutinizing his expression.

' Okay, maybe it was time to calm this girl down' Laxus thought. 'She's more terrifying than an angry Dragon Slayer in a Dragon Force Mode' He whistled internally. Hot chick.

"I'm sorry…" He trailed.

"I'm sorry, too and thank you for everyth…" That was all the blond could say before she blacked out.

"O-oi…Heartfilia, don't you faint on me." He stuttered as he caught the unconscious girl in his arms.

'She's kind of cute…Oh, enough of that, Laxus. Don't go crushing on fainting ladies who can pack a hell of a kick!' Though he reprimanded himself for that, he found himself smiling at the girl.

"Oh, great! Now, she's sleeping again." He muttered while rolling his eyes.

Back at the Guild…

Night after night, Natsu searched the town of Magnolia for any signs or clues, even a miniscule amount of her scent that might linger only to find nothing and in his state of fatigue late last night after his, yet again, fruitless search, he fell asleep on one of the tables. Today was different though.

"Natsu! Happy! Gray! Erza!" Lucy shouted in darkness. Cloaked men, snickering at their captive

"Wait, Lucy!" Natsu called out but she can't hear him.

"Help me! Anyone! Hel…" That was all she could say before one of captors used magic to make her sleep.

The scene then shifts to another place. This time, it was in the port of Hargeon, the place where they boarded their ship to their doomed S-Class Trial seven years ago. And there she was, wearing the same outfit three months ago when she left. Her face, solemn and sad like someone died.

'Oh no!' He was scared beyond his wits. It could be that the one who died is… 'No, no, no…Please not her!'

"Natsu, why? Why didn't you protect me?" She said her gaze straight at him.

"Sorry, Luce…I-I'm so sorry!" He cried eyes moist with tears.

"Natsu…" The girl said before she disappeared along with the port of Hargeon, leaving him in the void of darkness.

"LUCE!" He shouted.

Natsu woke up, beads of sweat dripping from his face. 'It was all a dream.' He said to himself. 'Lucy's not gonna die. Lucy's strong. She won't leave us. She won't leave Fairy Tail. We're her nakama, right?' He repeated this to himself over and over like a mantra.

"Natsu?" Levy asked.

"What?" He whipped his head to her direction.

"Uhmmm…Natsu-san, you were screaming Lucy-san's name" Wendy walked up to him, concern masking her face.

"NATSU!"

"Gray! Erza! What? Why?" The both of them are running towards him from the guild doors.

"Did you have it?" Erza inquired.

"What?" He asked, frantic.

"The dream. The dream about Lucy." Gray followed.

"Y-Yeah. Why?" Natsu asked, curiosity taking over him.

"She could be out there, a captive!" Erza said.

At this revelation, the whole guild went silent. Elfman stopped preaching about a man. Juvia stopped fawning over her Gray-sama, Cana dropped her barrel and the Master burst from his room, all of their attention at the team.

"Wait! Everyone, wait!" Natsu announced.

"What is it?" The Master asked.

Gajeel stiffened. At the same time, Wendy gasped. Both looked at Natsu and nod their heads in affirmation. Natsu stood at the table, held his head high and announced:

"I can smell her."
