Welcome back guys! This chapter doesn't have much action or anything else but it will change soon enough! I promise you that! Just hang in there! Anyway, I also want to thank you guys for the reviews! Those really encourage me to keep on writing! Also I love to hear what you all think!
Also it might seem like a slow start right now, but I promise it will get better. We have to build it up ;) And keep it up with those reviews!
Natalie: Well the mysterious woman is... well mysterious! You'll have to wait to see who it is! Also the topic of Sting and Kera will also be discussed, just remember, Sting confessed to Kera during the Dragon Hunt and here it never happened! And also yes I will do the Pheonix Priestess as well as Rave Master. I just need to get going on that and YES! I am so thrilled to hear they're doing another movie! And no worries when Kera comes back I will describe her look as well ;)
Guest: That's a great idea but I can't say anything there. I guess you'll just have to wait and see if it comes true or not! But I love hearing your thoughts and your ideas of what's going to happen. The only thing I will say is that I chose the title for a reason.
ab918: Great to hear it! Hope you enjoy the next chapter as well!
Brainy girl: Probably would have helped if Lucy read the article, but to see what really happens you'll just have to wait!
Lingering will: Well let's see what happens here ;)
Chaos: That's a good one! Would actually be really funny
Rez: Yea it is, but I think that Wendy is already bad ass enough in her Dragon Force stage, even without a katana. She can already beat anyone she wants if her heart it too it. Also I think Wendy is too cute to have a katana... doesn't really fit her.
Marty: Nah you're right Wendy will be first but the mysterious woman will play a big role in this! So just hang in there and maybe in a few chapters you will learn more!
Zwack15: It will get interesting you're right about that! And I know the last sentence was mean but I thought it was a little better than leaving it on a cliffhanger... though you can almost compare it to one!
"NO WAY!" Natsu and Happy shouted as they saw who was on the stage. The two of them and Lucy had gone to Magrett Town to see that Lamia Scale was having a Thanksgiving Parade. They were also having a show, where the members were entertaining the crowd with their magic.
And now the Sky Sisters were on stage.
Chelia and…
Wendy.
Lucy smiled softly. "Wendy was always great friends with Chelia, so when the guild disbanded she came here."
"W-What is she doing!?" Natsu asked horrified. Why was Wendy with them!? One of their rival guilds nonetheless!? WHY!?
The blonde gave him a look. "You know… it's not like she's doing anything bad."
Suddenly Natsu stood there clenching his fist. "Don't worry Wendy. We'll take you back from the dark side. If Kera would be here she'd blow a fuse. She wouldn't let her go with Lamia Scale!"
Lucy sighed shaking her head. Idiot…
Happy started looking around remembering something. "Where's Carla?"
As if she had been reading his mind they heard a very familiar voice behind them. "I knew you would come back at some point."
Natsu, Lucy and Happy turned around and gaped when they saw a girl with white cat ears standing right in front of them. Their mouth's hung open as they recognized that voice. "Carla!?" They all shouted at the same time.
"I never want to do something as embarrassing as that ever again…" Wendy said holding her face that was completely red.
Chelia smiled as she pushed her slightly. "Oh come on Wendy, it was cute! The people loved you!" The Sky Dragon Slayer smiled softly knowing that Chelia was right, though it was truly embarrassing for her.
Lyon walked in and smiled. "Wendy there's someone here for you." He called.
Wendy blinked and looked confused. Natsu and Lucy entered and waved at her. "Hey Wendy! It's been a while!" Natsu said with a smile.
The Sky Dragon Slayer smiled. "Natsu! Lucy! You're back!" She said.
Natsu ruffled her hair. "Looks like you grew a few inches." He said with a grin.
Wendy chuckled and shook her head. "Not really, I haven't changed that much the past year."
"I see." He said still grinning. All of a sudden he picked the little girl and slung her over his shoulder. "Well bye!" He said waving his hand to Lyon on the others.
"Hey!" They all shouted.
The others wrestled Wendy out of Natsu's grasp. The pink haired Dragon Slayer wanted to object but Lyon calmed him down, saying that they could all sit down and talk about this. They could be civil.
So now they were sitting at the table, discussing what to do now. Natsu was actually calm, but Lucy still had an eye out for him.
"You're bringing Fairy Tail back together?" Wendy asked glancing at the two people in front of her.
Natsu nodded. "Yep! We're going to find everyone and bring them back so we can be a guild again!"
"Though the Master's been missing the past year." Lucy said resting her head against her hand.
"He's missing?" Natsu asked, looking over to the blonde. He saw her nod slightly and he frowned. "Well who knows, maybe he ran away."
"More like, he wanted to escape becoming one of the councilmen." Lucy said rubbing her forehead. "Since the councilmen were killed by Tartarus they decided to put the Ten Wizard Saints as councilmen. I guess he didn't want to become one of them so he disappeared."
Natsu chuckled. "Yea I guess that sounds like him. Who would want to be part of the council? He's had so much trouble with them!"
He shook his head slightly. "But gramps aside, come with us Wendy."
The little girl suddenly looked unsure. Her head turned down to the floor as she folded her hands. "I… I don't know…"
Both Natsu and Lucy looked shocked. "What do you mean you don't know?" Natsu asked shocked.
Wendy sighed. "I mean… I would love to but… I'm in Lamia Scale now… I can't just… leave."
She felt a hand on her shoulder. Turning around she saw it was Lyon. He smiled. "You don't need to feel indebted to us. We knew this day would come. We knew that Fairy Tail wouldn't be gone completely. And today is that day."
"Are you sure? I mean… I don't want to be rude and just leave." Wendy told him.
Lyon chuckled. "Don't worry about it. You're not being rude."
Wendy glanced over at Lucy and Natsu. "Are… are you two the only ones together?"
Lucy nodded slightly. "Yea… you're actually the first person we're trying to get back. But we have clues on where everyone else is."
"Except Kera…" Natsu muttered.
Wendy blinked. "Wait… you don't know where Kera is?"
"Actually we don't know where anyone is. We just got clues and know rumors." Lucy explained, but then all of a sudden she smiled. "But with you I think we can find them faster."
"And who wouldn't say no to Wendy!" Natsu said with a huge grin on his face.
The little girl chuckled softly. Of course Natsu would use her like that, but he means well. The older Dragon Slayer leaned in with a grin. "So what do you say? Will you come back?" he asked.
There was a minute of silence as Wendy started to think this question over. She glanced at her friends and then at Lamia Scale's members. Lyon smiled and gave her a reassuring nod, even Chelia nodded her head with a smile on her face. Wendy smiled softly seeing this and turned her attention back to Natsu and Lucy. "Yes, I'll come with you."
"Yes!" Natsu shouted throwing his hands into the air. "There still is a god!"
"Natsu!"
Wendy chuckled. "But… just give me a little time to collect my things and say goodbye."
Lucy nodded her head. "Of course Wendy. Take as much time as you need."
The little girl smiled softly before getting up from the table and walking out of the room. Lyon watched her leave and smiled softly. He turned to both Natsu and Lucy. "I knew you would be coming back." He said with a small smirk. "It was just a matter of time."
Lucy chuckled. "Actually it's all because of Natsu."
"Me?" He asked. "You were tracking everyone for the entire year." He said.
Lyon glanced at the blonde with a small smirk. "So you know where everyone is?"
"Not really." Lucy told him. She sighed putting her head on her hands. "I've been able to get information, rumors and some sightings from most of our friends. There were only two people that I couldn't get anything from. One being Natsu…" She said pointing towards the pink haired Dragon Slayer. "And the other was Kera."
The Ice Wizard stood up straight. "So you have no idea what happened to her?" He asked and Lucy shook her head.
Natsu raised an eyebrow. "Do you know anything?"
Lyon chuckled. "I've been keeping an ear out to hear anything from you Fairy Tail Wizards, but not even we have heard from Kera."
Happy jumped up. "We'll find her! Natsu can sniff her out! And so can Wendy!"
Lucy smiled and nodded. "Yea, and I still believe that she's with Erza. So if we find her we find Kera as well."
Natsu smirked slightly. "Don't worry Luce, just give it a few days and we'll have the entire gang back together! We already have Wendy."
"Just do me one favor Natsu." Lyon spoke standing up straight. "When you find Gray… tell him that he should come by sometimes so we can spar."
The Dragon Slayer smirked and nodded. "Don't worry Lyon. We'll tell him when we see him."
"So where are you headed now?" Chelia asked joining into the conversation.
Natsu turned to Lucy since she had all the information. The blonde smiled. "Well… we heard there's this town where it hasn't stopped raining for a long while."
Lyon's eyes went wide. "So you're thinking…"
Lucy nodded. "That maybe Juvia is there. She's the only reason why it wouldn't stop raining, but the question is… why is she back to her former self?"
Natsu stood up. "Well then there is only one way to find out. We'll have to go after her. Also having Juvia back is also great!"
"Yea…" Lucy muttered slightly. In her mind she was thinking on who was still out there that they needed to find. Of course there was Gray, maybe Juvia knows something about his whereabouts. Then there is Erza, the red head that didn't really appear anywhere, only for that one cake shop incident.
Finally there was Kera. Like Natsu she hasn't found any information on her. No rumors, no information, nothing… either she disappeared or she doesn't want to be found. But why? Probably the same reason with Erza. She still had hope that the two of them were together, because… well why not? The two disappeared at the same time, they're sisters and well… they never go anywhere without the other one, especially for a year or longer.
Also Kera wouldn't want to be alone. She always feared to be alone again.
"Lucy?"
The blonde snapped out of her thoughts and turned her head. "What?" She asked.
Natsu stood there a little worried. "I was asking if we should check on Wendy. We could help her."
"Oh yea… let's do that." She said with a smile. The two got up but Natsu put a hand on her shoulder. She looked up at him confused. What was he doing?
She looked into his eyes and saw some kind of determination in them. "Don't worry Lucy. We'll find them… all of them, even Kera."
The blonde smiled softly. Natsu was always there for her. He was the reason why they were even on this quest trying to find their friends. All this wouldn't be possible without him.
"I think I'm going to cry!" Wendy shouted as she, Carla, Natsu and Lucy as well as Happy were walking down a road. Carla was behind her with her arms crossed. "Calm down child! This is no time to be crying!"
Wendy sniffled. "B-But… I-I'm so sad that we had to leave Lamia Scale… b-but also glad that N-Natsu and Lucy are back!" Another set of tears fell down her face.
Lucy was actually shocked. "Whoa, tears of joy and sadness."
Natsu suddenly ruffled the little girl's head. "Don't worry about it Wendy. Now, with you back on the team we can find the others."
The little girl wiped some of her tears away as she looked up at him. "Do… do you really think we can get everyone back together?" She asked and the Fire Dragon Slayer simply smirked. "Think it? I know it!" He said proudly. "Now come on! It's time we get back Juvia and find the others!" With that they headed over to the other town.
Wendy smiled as she walked after the two in front of her. "You guys are great. The others said that you were coming back but I couldn't believe it until you two were standing at our guild!"
Lucy smiled softly. "Like Natsu said, Fairy Tail isn't done yet."
"Yea, but with Master missing who will be the next guild master?" Wendy asked.
To say the least she didn't even think about that. "W-Well… Laxus maybe, but… I don't know."
Natsu laughed. "I'll be the next master! If not me then Kera. She is the Dragon Queen. Also… I think she'd probably make better decisions than I would."
"How about we leave the question of master for another time." Lucy told him. To say the truth she didn't believe that Natsu could be master and Kera? She was better but she can easily be pulled into stupid stunts.
Wendy nodded. "It would be better if we try and find the others first. So Juvia is next?" The little girl asked and the others nodded.
Carla raised an eyebrow. "Did either of you think if there was someone who doesn't want to come back to the guild?"
Both Lucy and Natsu stopped, especially the pink haired Dragon Slayer. He turned around to look at the cat. "Well… why wouldn't they not want to come back?"
"Because they moved on? Some of them, not like you, moved on with their lives. They probably got new jobs or something. They can't just ditch them." Carla told him.
He scoffed. "Yea right, who wouldn't want to come back to the guild?"
Well Natsu, that's a good question. But seriously, is there someone out there who doesn't want to come back, having moved on with their lives? Who knows. Also what did you guys think about this little chapter? Wendy is back in the group and it looks like Juvia is next. So slowly the gang is coming back! Also there is a reason why I didn't go into the attack because like I said earlier I'm going to put my own twist on this.
Until next time!
