Fairy Tail Guild

~one month after Lucy completed her mission, roughly eight hours in the Spirit World~
~math is hard so this might be off (-_-)~

No one's POV:

It was chaos at the guild. No one could figure out where Lucy was. Her mission should have been completed in a matter of days.

Reedus was making posters of her to spread around. Levy was fidgeting while looking through some spell books to see if there was something of use there.

Cana was using her cards on a map of Fiore, trying to pin point where Lucy was. Guildarts had gone off to see if he could find information from villages he had been to. Macao and Wakabe were stress drinking.

Wendy and Carla were staying at Lucy's house to see if she came back there. Gajeel and Pantherlily stayed near Levy, trying to keep her calm. Natsu was out with Happy, scouring from above in hopes of seeing her.

Ezra was giving out orders to everyone who wasnt doing anything, while munching on her cake. Master and Mirajane were on the communication lachrima contacting their ally guilds. The Raijinshuu was sitting at their table waiting for any news, while Laxus leaned against the banister overlooking the guild.

Suddenly the doors were kicked open to reveal a grinning Loke and stern faced Capricorn.

Walking in, they were met by shocked silence until.

"Loke! Where's -?!" Cried Natsu as he and Happy flew inside the guild, only to have his face meet Erza's first, as she noticed the passed out Lucy in Capricorn's arms.

"Loke! Capricorn! What happened to Lucy?!" Mira cried as she too ran over to them.

Upon hearing this, everyone there ran forward to try to help their friend.

"Everyone, please calm down. Lucy-san is fine. She just passed out while in the Spirit World." Wendy said as she walked in, with Carla close behind.

"Spirit World?" Master asked in surprise. "What was she doing there?"

"The Spirit King requested her presence in order to clear up a small matter." Capricorn stated calmly, making everyone shocked again. "Can someone please show meh the way to the infirmary?"

"Yes, yes of course. Wendy, please show him the way." Master said, still surprised.

"Ok! Follow me Capricorn-san!" Wendy said as she led him away.

Once they were out of site, everyone turned to look at Loke, who in turn sweatdropped at all the attention.

"Um. Why are you all looking at me? Didn't you know?" Loke asked.

"If we knew, then why do you think we were surprised at seeing you three? Hmm?" Mira asked back, darkly.

"Yes, why would we?" Ezra copied, summoning a sword.

Gulping in fright, Loke was about to answer when-

"Loke! Where's Luce?!" Natsu yelled as he jumped up, acting as if the hit hadn't affected him.

Sweatdrops could be seen on everyone inside the guild.

"Idiot! Stop yelling! Thats what we're trying to figure out!" Ezra yelled as she once again hit him on the head.

Satisfied that it was quiet once again, she turned back to Loke with a expectant expression.

"W-well as Wendy said before, Lucy just passed out while she was in the Spirit World. The King requested her presence to ask her something." Loke said timidly.

"What did he ask? Is everything ok?" Levy asked in concern.

"Yes, yes. Everything is fine. It's just that Lucy-sama hasn't summoned any of us, with the exception of Plue, since the Eclipse incident. He simply wanted to know the reason why." Capricorn stated as he came back into the main hall.

Shock and concern for Lucy spread throughout the guild. Even the Raijinshuu and Laxus were surprised by this.

Everyone knew that without her spirits, Lucy was practically powerless and could get hurt, or worse.

So why was it that she hadn't summoned them?

This thought went through everyone's mind as they tried to figure out the reason.

Suddenly Natsu jumped up and seemed to be sniffing at something.

"What's that smell mixed in with Luce's? I recognize her normal key smells but there's something new. And it smells similar to something." Natsu questioned, making everyone go quiet.

"Fireball is right. There is a new scent mixed in with Bunny-Girl that is pretty similar, but at the same time not." Gajeel stated as he sniffed at the air as well.

"That is up to Lucy-sama to tell. We shall now take our leave. Come Leo." Capricorn stated as he grabbed onto Loke before disappearing in a flash of gold dust.

Confusion ran throughout the guild as this happened.

What will Lucy reveal once she wakes up?
