THE 3RD CHAPTER IS OUT! AS YOU ALL KNOW I'M BUSY THIS MONTH...YOU KNOW THIS IS THE FINAL GRADING FOR THIS SCHOOL YEAR.

ANYWAY...LET'S SIT BACK, RELAX AND ENJOY THIS CHAPTER

DISCLAIMER: FAIRY TAIL IS NOT MINE...T.T

"Uh-oh...they're dead meat" Yukino said

"Lucy! I told you to hold back!" Minerva said

"Don't worry...I will..." Lucy said transforming into her dark version

"Let's show them Lucy!" Sting said smirking at Natsu

"You take care of the others...and I'll take care of those two couples over there" Lucy said pointing at Natsu and Lisanna.

"Alright..." Sting said, then the battle begun

~LUCY VS. NATSU & LISANNA~

"HEY! DON'T DRAG LISANNA INTO OUR FIGHT!" Natsu asked

"I thought you might want a partner to defeat me...which will never happen by the way" Lucy said sitting up in the air

"I can defeat you with my bare hands!" Natsu said.

"Sad to say...you're weaker than me! Then if I'm weak...what do you call yourself?" Lucy said attacking head on...Natsu was about to counter it with his flaming fist...but Lucy disappeared the last minute

"WHAT?!" Natsu said in surprised

"I told you...you're weaker than me!" Dark Lucy said kicking him at the back

"Don't underestimate me!" Natsu said standing up

"And don't overestimate yourself!" Lucy said kicking him over and over again

'It must be difficult for Natsu to fight someone who looks exactly like her' Lisanna thought

~NATSU'S POV~

I need to fight! But I can't fight her...not with that sweet face! I missed Lucy so much and this girl looking like her isn't really helping. I wonder why she looks so much like Lucy? Seeing her face makes me even guilty. Guilty that Lucy is dead because of me! Why? Why does it so hurt much!?

~BACK TO NORMAL POV~

"Why you're much easier to beat than I thought...has the 'great' salamander fallen? Or maybe you can't fight me because I look like the Lucy Heartfilia of fairy tail? Is that it? Well you should have thought about it...the moment you argued with her was the moment you lost her forever...and now you're guilty...but I'm in my dark form! I look totally different from her...or do you like me better the way I look before?" Little Lucy said turning back to her original form.

"Natsu couldn't fight you anymore!" Lisanna yelled

"Now you're next!" Lucy said knocking Lisanna out cold. Natsu stood up

"Ready for the next round?" Lucy asked

"You may look like Lucy! But you'll never be like her!" Natsu said. Lucy only smirked

"You think I'm a fake Lucy? I'll have you know...I'm the-real-deal..." Lucy said showed her keys to Natsu who slowed down after seeing Lucy's keys

"Where did you get those? It's Lucy's keys!" Natsu said

"I always had them...from the moment I woke up" Lucy said flashing a scary smile

"But it doesn't prove you really are Lucy!" Natsu said trying to deny the fact

"I'll show you" Lucy said growing into her adult form

"Remember me Natsu? I'm your best friend whom you replaced...and let me die all alone!" Lucy said

"I never wanted you to die!" Natsu said guilt taking over him

"Yes you did! You told me to quit the team knowing that I was weak and couldn't defend myself! Now feel the guilt of letting me die!" Lucy said transforming to her smaller version.

"I know...but if I don't win this round...I will bring shame to fairy tail!" Natsu said

"And you're gonna risk killing me again? Wouldn't that make your sin heavier?" Lucy said. Natsu attacked with all his might that blew Lucy away

"That should do it" Natsu said dusting his self when the dust cleared off there was no trail of the blond

"Maybe I incinerated her?" Natsu asked

"Far from it..." Lucy said standing on a tree branch

"How did you survive my attack?" Natsu asked with horror

"I told you...you're weaker than me" Lucy said beating Natsu up and leaving him and Lisanna on the floor half dead. Then she and Sting stepped out not a single scratch on both of them

"We have a winner! Team saber tooth!" the pumpkin head announced then the crowd started to go wild

"I can't believe the salamander more over Mira Jane was defeated by those two without getting a single scratch" Laxus said

"Just who is that girl?" Romeo asked

"Don't tell me you have a crush on her? You have Wendy right?" Macao teased his son

"It's not like that! I'm just curious...how did she defeated Natsu-nii-san...so far she's the only one who defeated him at the same time held back...and she's the only one who fought him who didn't get so much as a single scratch" Romeo explained

"We're just as curious as you are" Cana said

"I know her! She's the new member of the Saber Tooth! She's a powerful celestial and dark mage...she mastered the art of the dark lord Hades at such a young age...a master of assassination...and can copy any magic...this girl is very terrifying and dangerous!" Mavis said

"You said it! But we need to find the others!" Erza said

~LATER AT THE HOSPITAL~

The fairies were waiting for Natsu, Lisanna, Mira Jane and Freed to wake up. Then the door opened as usual everybody glared at the people at the door which was the tigers

"What are you doing here?" Erza asked

"We're here because Lucy collapsed a while ago" Minerva said glaring at Erza

"Tch... she's weak" Gajeel said

"She is not! She collapsed because of exhaustion! For all we know she used too much magic power!" Rogue defended

"And why would she? She didn't even us magic fighting Natsu..."Elfman asked

"HEH! That's what you thought...she was actually observing you all...she can even see a fairy with you...she was observing and manipulating everybody from the start...whenever, wherever you are...she's watching you...now she's tired...so it wouldn't be bad if we bring her here...it's not like this place is yours" Sting said carrying a sleeping Lucy to a bed far away from the fairies side.

"We were under her complete control from the start?" Erza said still surprised from what the tigers revealed

"She can see me? But only a person with our insignia can see me...how?" Mavis said completely surprised

"Because she still have her insignia with her..." Natsu said standing up covered in bandage

"What do you mean match stick?" Gray asked

"She's Lucy...she showed me her adult form and it's totally Lucy! She even knows all of her memories! Even the day she died" Natsu explained with his hair covering his teary eyes.

"She is a dangerous child...don't go near her...I can't use my eyes to see through the future...well not on her...and moreover she can see me...and she can even read my mind thanks to her copying magic" Mavis said

"But how can we ask her? About Lucy?" Natsu asked

"I told you! NOT to go near her! I can't guarantee your safety when you step into her 'zone'...she is a very tough opponent...we better stay safe than sorry..." Mavis said with a scary face

"She's right..." Sting said

"What are you doing here?" Natsu asked

"I'm just here to warn you...STAY AWAY FROM LUCY! The guild's happy to have her...and so am I and Rogue...even so...if you even lay a finger on her...she can terminate you without hesitation and without breaking a sweat...like she did to salamander today...she gave you quite a beating" Sting said laughing walking away from the fairies.

"This gives them even more power..." Makarov said

"Yeah...and Natsu did you say adult form?" Minerva said

"What? One tiger at another?" Erza said

"Hey! Answer my question!" Minerva said

"Yeah...I saw her adult...what of it?" Natsu asked

"So that's why she was exhausted...I told her to hold back...and yet she didn't listen to me...how stubborn can that girl get?" Minerva asked shaking her head side ways

"Why is she in her child form Minerva?...what did you do to Lucy?" Makarov asked

"Nothing...to be honest I just adopted her in that form...and besides...why claim someone you already betrayed...I heard rumours that because of the fairies...the Heartfilia chick died..." Minerva said tauntingly

"Why you!..." Natsu was cut off when the little Lucy appeared

"I presume you people are talking...and not fighting?" little Lucy asked in a scary way that even Erza nodded

"Good...now...Minerva...I told you not to go near the fairies...especially when Mavis-san is there...she can kill you if she wants to" Lucy said

"Tell me child...how is that you can see me?" Mavis asked

"Because I'm someone who can see pretty much everything...even those not of this world" Lucy said with a smirk.

"Unbelievable..." Mavis said in disbelief as she watch Lucy and Minerva walk away

~WITH THE TIGER~

"Minerva-nee-chan...how many times do I need to tell you...never hangout with the fairies...I can see their first master..." Lucy said

"You're really amazing aren't you Lucy...being able to see everything in this world" Yukino praised

"Any way...why did you let them see your adult form?" Minerva asked

"To see them being tormented...although I can see them suffering because they see the Lucy 'look-a-like'...I wanted them to see the really Leucy...and make them suffer some more" Lucy answered with a sweet-yet-dark smile

"When it comes to fairies you're really scary aren't you?" Lector asked

"Well...because...my true form hated them...and we...the tigers...hates them...so I thought I could kill them...or rather hunt them...one...by...one" Lucy said

"Enough of the fairies...let's get down to business...the next fight tomorrow will be dealt by Rogue...seeing as you need to hunt in the darkness...while Lucy keep an eye on the whole arena...from top to bottom..." Minerva smirked

"Alright..." Lucy agreed

~THE NEXT DAY~ ~NATSU'S POV~

I was walking along the streets, when I heard songs awfully reminding me of my guilt. Yes everybody...I got myself an iphone...so the song 'too late to apologize by: one republic' intrigued me so I played it. And it goes like this

I'm holding on your rope

Got me ten feet off the ground

And I'm hearing what you say

But I just can't make a sound

Yes...I can't make any sound because I'm so guilty

You tell me that you need me

Then you go and cut me down, but wait

You tell me that you're sorry

Didn't think I'd turn around and say

Maybe Lucy is saying this infront of me now...

That it's too late to apologize, it's too late

I said it's too late to apologize, it's too late

Too late, oh

I'd take another chance, take a fall

Take a shot for you

And I need you like a heart needs a beat

But it's nothing new, yeah yeah
I loved you with a fire red, now it's turning blue

And you say sorry like the angel

Heaven let me think was you

But I'm afraid

If she was alive...well she is but she's not that kind anymore...will she let me listen to this?

It's too late to apologize, it's too late

I said it's too late to apologize, it's too late, whoa whoa

It's too late to apologize, it's too late

I said it's too late to apologize, it's too late
I said it's too late to apologize, yeah, too late

I said it's too late to apologize, yeah, too late

I'm holding on your rope

Got me ten feet off the ground.
