The moment Makarov heard Erza's name, he suddenly became serious and his grip on the bottle of his booze tightened. "I have never heard of this Lucy before nor have I seen her. Gray is currently out to find and track down his childhood friend. And Erza…Erza…"

"Erza is…?"

"She's…she's dead."

N-no way..." Natsu stammered. He couldn't believe what he had just heard. Erza? Dead? That can't be right. The queen of fairies can't die. She was the strongest. "Erza couldn't have died! Erza's the strongest! This must be some sick joke! I bet she's hiding or something. She can't...she's not..." Natsu's voice started to fade as tears slowly crept up to his eyes.

"Natsu..." Happy called as tears came down from his eyes as well.

"H-how…? How could she have…I-I-I don't…under…" his voice shook as he clenched his fists on top of the table that was in front of the master.

"Etherion." Makarov suddenly said as his face darkened due to the topic.

"Etherion?" Natsu suddenly remembered as images from the tower of heaven incident flashed in his mind. "The tower of heaven…Jellal!"

"Natsu…calm down…" Happy said, tears flowing freely from his eyes.

Makarov nodded. "She was like a daughter to me…" he said with a tone of sadness in voice. "She sacrificed herself to stop the R-system from exploding which cost her, her life."

"What about Gray?" Natsu asked as he wiped his tears.

"Like what I told you he's out on a personal mission to find his childhood friend. That idiot left and went to Galuna Island for a month now. I haven't heard from him since." Makarov replied, trying to hide his shaking voice. He was quite sensitive about these topics. He knew something had happened to Gray, but he just couldn't accept it yet and believed that he would come back one day. He despised talking about the members of his guild who had gone missing or worse, died. Yet somehow, Natsu's explanation about the wish he and Happy made seemed reasonable and true for him. So decided to give him the answers the boy needed.

"Lyon..." Natsu cursed under his breathe. "That Gray bastard must've used his ice shell on Lyon or Deliora. And without me to stop him he's practically..." he thought. "Shit! This is all my fault!" he shouted as he punched through the wall. "I shouldn't have made that stupid wish!"

"You said that your wish can be undone if at least one of the people you knew remembers you right?" Makarov asked. "In that case, shouldn't you make the closest person to you remember you?

Natsu looked up at Makarov as a specific person came into his mind. "Lucy!"

"That's right! Lucy will remember us." Happy shouted, his voice full with hope.

"Ji-chan, do you know where Lucy is?"

"I told you, I don't know any Lucy. We have no one named Lucy in this guild."

Natsu frowned. Where on earth could Lucy be? Without him meeting her and bringing her to the guild then where…

"Happy let's go to Hargeon. That's the place where we first met her. She might be there."

"But Natsu...Master,what date is it today?"

"September 10. Why?"

"Natsu, we met Lucy on July 3. She's no longer in Hargeon by this time."

"I know! But still, we could try. It's the only starting place we can go. Once we get there we go and find that Bora guy."

"Bora?" Makarov asked after hearing a familiar infamous name. "You mean Bora of Prominence, the female slave trader?"

"Yeah I think that was him."

"He's in prison now. He got captured by the Rune Knights a few weeks after he tried to trade the slaves he caught. From what I've heard a blonde man possessing dragon slayer magic defeated him as the man was passing by."

"But if Bora got arrested, then where's Lucy?" Happy asked in confusion.

"If this Lucy person got captured by Bora before, she must've gotten away from Bora after being defeated by the blonde man."

"I wonder…who's this blonde man..." Natsu said.

"No one knows. But anyway, why don't you go and visit Bora and ask him where your friend is?"

"Yosh! At least we have a lead as to where Lucy might be." Natsu enthusiastically said. "By the way, are Gajeel, Juvia, Loke and Wendy here?"

Makarov shook his head. "From what I've heard Gajeel and Juvia are part of the Element 4 at the Phantom Lord guild. There's no way they would be here. Loke quit the guild and was never heard of ever since. As for this Wendy, I have no clue as to who she is."

Natsu nodded. I guess it would have been obvious that Gajeel and Juvia weren't here because the Phantom Lord never attacked the guild since Lucy wasn't here. Loke probably vanished since Lucy wasn't there to save him. And Wendy? What might have happened to her? "Ji-chan, did the nirvana project got defeated already? You know, the thing that the Oracion no Seis tried to unleash."

"Nirvana? No. I haven't heard of such a thing. The Oracion no seis are still on the loose. No one knows what they're doing or planning as of now. Why?"

"That means the effect of our wish hasn't caught up to Wendy and Charle yet. They might still be at Cait shelter." Happy said.

"Cait Shelter huh? So this Wendy girl belongs to Cait Shelter guild then."

"Natsu we have to hurry. We must undo our wish before Wendy and Charle disappear and before Nirvana is activated."

Natsu nodded. "Let's go and pay that fake salamander a visit in the prison then." He said as he stood up. "Don't worry Ji-chan. We'll bring everything back to normal once we get to Lucy." He waved as he grinned and jumped off the window with Happy carrying him as he flew.

"Aye sir!" Happy cheered. "We'll get the old guild back to normal!"

Makarov could only watch from the window as the two boys flew away. "Nirvana? Oracion no Seis? How could they have known that? That Natsu and Happy…I guess they really weren't lying. This is bad…"

"Mirajane! We have a task to do." Makarov called from his office as the bar maid quickly entered upon hearing her name.

"Yes Master."

"For the last time, I don't know where she is!" Bora screamed as Natsu clutched his fists on Bora's collar, his face hitting on the cell bars.

"She was with you! How could you not know?!"

"After that young man defeated me, she and the other girls left. I don't know now the whereabouts of the girls I captured back then. Now let me go you bastard!" he answered as he tried to break free from Natsu's grip.

Natsu pushed the man away from the cell bars and sat down on ground, facing Bora who was coughing and grasping for air. "That blonde man…he possessed dragon slayer magic…which guild did he come from?"

"I have no idea. He never told me plus he was fully clothed that time, so his insignia was hidden."

"Damn it! You're no help at all!" Natsu furiously shouted from outside Bora's cell.

"You're the one who's demanding me answers for all these questions, now you're mad at me?! What kind of idiot are you?"

"What did you say?!" Natsu shouted again as Happy sighed.

"This isn't getting us anywhere. Lucy…where are you?" Happy sighed as he tried not to cry again. Natsu patted him, telling him that they'll find Lucy soon.

Bora sighed. "I'll tell you this though. The man had a red cat with him, a cat just like you." He said pointing at Happy. "He was also with another guy. A tall young man with a well-built body like the blonde, but he had a black hair and he too was accompanied by a green cat. Some people say that they've seen two men accompanied by 2 cats on the rocky mountain of Fiore, though I have no idea where that could be. Those men had tremendous powers that could destroy a whole army. Maybe you could find the person you're looking for in that mountain. Maybe she went along with the blonde man."

"The rocky mountain of Fiore?" Natsu thought. Suddenly an image of the mountain Bora was talking about flashed in his head. "I know that mountain! It's a bit a far from here but we can still make it in time. Happy let's go! We might find Lucy there." He said as he stood up and thanked Bora.

"Aren't you gonna help me get out of here? I did help you get some information!" Bora cried out.

"Thanks again old man!" Natsu said as he waved good bye.

"Who are you calling old you bastard?!" Bora shouted angrily. "Lucy huh?" he thought out loud as leaned on the wall of his cell. "Ah! I remember her now, the blonde chick who wanted to join Fairy Tail badly."

Natsu stopped as he heard Lucy's name.

"Yes her. She was still crying in the end, even after she got rescued. She said that somehow she felt like that there was something or someone missing in her life, as if she was waiting for someone else to rescue her. But in the end it was the blonde man who rescued her and tried to cheer her up. Hmm…but I never saw her again after that. What a shame."

Natsu and Happy felt guilty. It was supposed to be them who were gonna rescue her. But where were they when she needed them? All because of a stupid wish…Lucy had suffered.

"I'll save you this time Lucy, you can count on me." Natsu said as he exited the prison and headed out to the rocky mountain.
