Author Note- I'm excited for this chapter! I'm doing a poll to see what the pairing is in this story stingXlucy or NatsuXlucy. Vote!

No one's POV

Lucy powerfully pushed open the guild doors, making them slam on their hinges from the force. She could feel the glares of the guild piercing her back, but she ignored it. 'I must not show weakness'.

"Minerva, Sting" she called into the guilds hall. Sending more confused glances her way, before the said mages excited the master's office.

Minerva's POV

Glancing around the guild I found the source of the voice. Lucy…but she looked different.

Instead of her usual tight top and short skirt, she wore a black leather jacket on top of a hot pink midriff top, ripped blackdenim jeans and hot pink fingerless gloves. Her golden hair was tied up into a tight ponytail with a pink X clip keeping her fringe in place. She still wore her signature combat boots and belt with her keys and whip.

Seeing Sting and I arrive, she pulled of her right fingerless glove showing her now bare hand. Her Fairy Tail symbol was gone.

"So the jig is up" I stated more than asked, pretty sure that I knew the answer already.

"About time you left those fairies" Sting spoke up, throwing his arms around Lucy, embracing her in a giant bear hug.

"For once I agree with Sting" I said pulling Lucy out of the light dragon slayers arms, to replace them with my own. "I missed you!" I wailed into Lucy's shoulder, dropping my outer character.

"Is that why you gave me such a beating during the grand magic games?" she teased. I couldn't stop the pang of guilt at the comment, as I remembered the GMG.

*Flash Back- No Ones POV*

"Lisannna won't be able to compete in the water challenge! She still hasn't fully recovered from the battle with Flare" Mira worriedly explained to Fairy Tail's team A.

"I'm fine Mira-nee, please let me go on" Lisanna pleaded with her teary eyed big sister. You could tell she wasn't at full strength.

"Please let me be Lisanna's substitute for this match" Lucy's eyes were full of determination "please"

"Try your best Lucy and remember you're a member of FairyTail" Master's voice broke through the silence. DestroyingLisanna's continues glares towards Lucy.

"Thank you" she whispered, loud enough for only the dragon slayers to hear. She quickly charged into the arena in her white bikini before shouting "open gate of the water bearer, Aquarius!" Dipping the key into the floating sphere of water.

The water battle went on until only Lucy and Minerva were left to fight it out. Aquarius shot multiple water attacks but she managed to swiftly dodge them all until she used her 'territory' magic to get behind Lucy. Minerva didn't even usehalf of her power to kick Lucy in the back sending her to the edge of the sphere before using her magic to teleport her in front of her again.

She quickly sent powerful 'territory' attacks flying towards Lucy, not slowing to let her have a chance to recover.

Despite the high pitch screams from Lucy and the malicious laughter of Minerva you could still here Fairy Tail's shouts…but they weren't cheering for Lucy…they were insulting her.

"Is that seriously the best you could do?!"

"You're the weakest mage in Fairy Tail! Why don't you just quit already!?"

"This is why we didn't want you to compete in the Grand Magic Games!"

"Minerva kill her! It would be better for everyone"

The last insult silenced everyone. Fairy Tail. The crowd. Sabretooth. Even Minerva fell silent at the request. Only the quiet sobs of pain from Lucy was heard through the stadium.

Natsu… The pink haired fire mage that even attacked Sabretooth for kicking out Yukino. The dragon slayer that was said to never give up on his Nakama. Here he was defying everything that he believed.

Anger burned inside Minerva. This was how Fairy Tail treated their so called 'Nakama'?! Not even Sabretooth was cruel enough to wish death to one of their members. Past or Present. Everyone in Sabretooth cared about each other even if they didn't show it in the best way.

It broke their hearts to kick Yukino out. Though they would never admit it, and here was Fairy tail requesting Minerva to kill one of their friends.

"If you want her dead, do it yourself" Minerva released Lucy from her grasp "I may be cruel but I'm no killer…"

*End of Flash Back*

Minerva's POV

"I'm so sorry about what I did…and what they said." Ichocked out.

"Hey, don't start up the water works on me…it wasn't your fault" she gently brushed away the tears from my cheeks, that I hadn't even realised I shed.

By now everyone's jaws dropped at the sight of me crying. The great, powerful, cruel Minerva Orland, granddaughter of the master of Sabretooth crying. Who would have thought?

Stings POV

I smirked as I observed the shocked faces of my guild mates as they watched Minerva cry into Lucy's shoulder. They've been like this ever since we were little, once reunited they'd cling to each other like there was no tomorrow.

I couldn't blame them though…they were each other's escape. When they were little both of their fathers pushed them too hard so when they met they had both already created outer characters. They were the only ones that could break through the walls the other put up.

I hugged them both in my arms, shouts of joy and protest filled the air…it had been too long. I guess we should explain everything to the rest of the guild before they go mad with curiosity.

Author note- remember to review! Thanks for reading! I'm going to try topost every Sunday.
