Last Chapter:
"Laxus, it's time for me to be the one to care for you." She whispered as she kissed the man's forehead.
It was now dark outside the guild. It has taken mostly all of their afternoon trying different types of spells just to summon Mavis but all were in vain. Not a single successful result came out. First, Levy asked Freed to search for possible runes that would be able to summon a spirit, in which the green-haired man complied to but after hours of searching the library around Magnolia, not a single thing came out. Feeling hopeful that the information is just not available at their places, she contacted Blue Pegasus and asked for Hibiki. Of course the man asked what that was all about but Levy wasn't sure if she could be so detailed so she just gave the half truth, she needs it for her friend. Hibiki, unwilling to pry just went with her reason. He activated his Archive Magic to search for the subject only to come out with nothing but apologies. Hiding her disappointment, the script mage, courteous as she was, thanked him for the time. Having enough of all the failed attempts and worried that Levy might start to lose her confidence, Gajeel mustered up the courage to contact Sabertooth , despite the obvious competition yet friendly terms between the guild. Using a Communication Lacrima, they managed to make a call for them. Sting, the current Guild Master answered.
"Yo, fairies! What's up?" Sting asked with attitude.
"Is Yukino there?" Mirajane, apparently listening to Gajeel's suggestion, walked to their table.
"Yukino! Someone wants to talk to you!" Sting shouted at the girl. They soon heard footsteps and she appeared.
"What is it?" Yukino asked Sting who only shrugged his shoulders and left. She then turned her attention to the people who called. "How may I help you?"
"We want to ask. How can you summon a Celestial Spirit?" Mirajane asked. Now this was new. No one actually asked about that. People always think that her type of magic is only a common one compared to the obviously rare ones like Dragon Slayer Magic. Nonetheless, she answered their questions, making it simple so they can understand.
"Well, we pour our magic into the keys themselves. That's why we must be able to be in contact with them. Although the magical energy you put to summon one varies, it always is more than one can actually expect. It's the reason we, Celestial Spirit mages quickly lose our energies. The more we extend their stay here, the more we drain ourselves. Wait, I do think Lucy is more knowledgeable than I am in this. Where is she anyway?"
"Well…uh…Lucy's not really here." Levy spoke up.
"Uhmmm…okay, is that all?" Yukino asked politely.
"Uhhh…this is a rather weird question but do you know of any spells to summon a human spirit?" Levy asked, a little hopeful that she might hold any information regarding the matter.
"I'm afraid I don't. I'm sorry." She answered, face apologetic.
"That's okay. Thank you for your time." Mirajane said.
"I hope I helped." The girl on the other line said.
"Thanks and bye!" Mirajane added.
"Bye." Yukino replied, lost in thought.
Of course they were desperate. Levy and Team Natsu begged Wendy to try out her Milky Way spell. Wendy did complied and wrote the runes on the guild floor, concentrated and soon, a beam of light erupted only to find nothing. The poor girl just apologized that she wasn't able to do enough. Erza rushed to her and said that it's alright, she'd done enough. Bickslow volunteered to do something but he also couldn't do a thing. Master was watching them from his office, disappointment creeping up to him.
"Gramps, nothing happened!" Natsu shouted from the first floor.
"Master, we need to go there immediately!" Erza said.
"Master, they are both right. Nothing could happen to us. Tenrou Island is our sacred ground. First won't harm us." Gray supported them. "Natsu, can you still smell her?" Gray turned to the pink-haired boy.
"Yes!" Natsu shouted, smiling at the thought that they could embark on a quest to find her.
"See, if we can still smell her, we can find her!" Gray tried to convince Makarov.
Master, listening the three of them rant, thought of all the consequences this possible quest they are suggesting. He then put his hands on both of his sides and sighed.
"No. I still can't allow you. We lost Lucy. I can't afford to lose another child." Makarov hardened his resolve.
"But, Master…" Gray was cut short by the small man.
"Not until we can contact The First, I can't be convinced. That is final." Master bellowed and stomped back into his room.
Night soon followed and all of Fairy Tail members went their way home, retiring for the night. However, Gray has other plans; he quickly rushed to Erza, Natsu and Happy before they part ways to continue searching for Lucy.
"Erza, Natsu, Happy!" He called out.
"What is it, Gray?" Erza asked.
"Let's go at Tenrou Island." He said as the eyes of his teammates bulged.
"But the Master…" Erza, tried to stop him from his plans but she was convinced herself. If the Master can't allow them, then they will have to do it their own way.
"For the first time, I finally have something to agree with you, Ice Princess!" Natsu grinned with enthusiasm.
"Erza-san, I think Gray is right." Happy voted.
"Then let's do this. Pack light. We'll meet up later at midnight at the port of Hargeon. We'll just 'borrow' a ship. Natsu, we shall use your sense of smell to track her down." Erza said, uncaring about the punishment that will follow their escapade.
"Yosh! Let's do this!" All of them cheered as they raised their arms in the air.
'Wait for us, Lucy!'
