Sorry I'm a couple of days late, I got caught up in a few stories that I was reading.

Disclaimer... I do not own Fairy Tail.

Chapter 10

At Sabertooth's Training Grounds (Cont.)...

Morgana's POV

I turned around to see both of my children with their staffs in hand, crossing them and chanting a spell I had never heard before... "STOP!" I yelled, but it was to late as smoke filled the training area blinding me to what was happening.

"STOP... Please stop, don't do it..."yelled Emrys as he looked at me with fear in his eyes. We both turned to run to our children who were now engulfed in smoke. Faint laughing escaped the thick smoke as we both stopped and looked at each other as the laughter got louder and louder. It was our children who were laughing... but why?

It was at that moment that I heard a third voice laughing. When the smoke finally disappeared, it revealed Lucy and Layla sitting on the ground with their backs to us laughing like fools. With their staffs at their sides, they seemed to be holding something in their arms, what it was I couldn't see. I slowly walked towards them until I could see what Layla was holding.

"Minerva, stop laughing. This is just to embarrassing," said a male voice that seemed to be coming from Layla.

"Seriously, this is just too funny. You said cast your all-powerful spell and I would see a mighty dragon, instead I'm left holding a little runt," Minerva, I mean Layla said as she burst out laughing again.

The little red dragon had two small horns on it's head and wings nearly the size of it's little body with a long wirey tail. It's body was covered with scales and it had deep red glowing eyes.

"I'm not a runt.. I'm not, I tell you. I'm the mighty red dragon Draig. All who see me tremble in fear," the little fello roared.

"MIGHTY! HAHAHA... more like puny," Layla laughed as Draig continued to get more and more upset with each passing moment. He looked up at Layla, snarled, opened his mouth and... and... nothing but a puff of smoke. With that wonderful display of power, Layla rolled onto her side laughing hysterical.

"Layla, be more respectful," I said as I tried to keep a straight face, but it was a loosing battle. I finally lost it and doubled over laughing at the once mighty red dragon reduced to the size of a child's play toy. "Sorry, Sorry," I said with tears in my eyes from laughing so hard.

I looked over at Lucy, but I couldn't see what she was holding so I moved around till I was in front of my girls and that's when I saw it. Sleeping in Lucy's arms was a silky white dragon. It was as if it was an exact copy of the red dragon except it had no scales or horns. 'I'm guessing she's the white dragon, Usa,' I thought to myself and smiled. 'I never expected this to happen.'

"Sister! Quiet please! Usa is asleep," Lucy said with a warm smile.

"Sorry little Sister, but this guy is just to funny," Layla said as she sat back up and tried to compose herself. "How's that?" she said with a smirk, as she tried to contain her laughter.

"Thank you Sister." Lucy said as she stroked Usa's head.

"Would you two like to explain what that was all about?" I quietly asked as I knelt down in front of them.

"Morgana my dear, I need to go take care of those things we discussed earlier. I'll be back shortly," Emrys said as he leaned down and kissed my cheek.

"Very well dear. Please hurry back soon," I said as I watched him disappear. "Stay safe!" I whispered as Lucy and Layla looked at me with concern. "Don't worry he'll be back soon. Anyway please explain what is going on here?"

"Well just after you gave us our staffs I started hearing voices. I quickly realized that one voice belonged to Sister... she was talking to some guy who said he was a dragon. A few moments later, there was another voice, a female one and it was speaking to me! It was Usa and she and Draig wanted us to release them from their bindings. They said if we released them they would help us in the future. They said something bad is coming. We eventually agreed to it and they gave us a spell to release them... so here we are with two small dragons. Any more than that I don't know what to say," Lucy said as she continued stroking the white dragons head as it rested in her arms.

"That pretty well sums it up Mom," Layla said as she was still smirking and poking the little red dragon, who no matter how hard he tried could not make anything more than a puff of smoke appear. The more he tried the more frustrated he became. Layla in turn gave an evil smirk and opened her mouth, took a deep breath and exhaled sending flames shooting out of her mouth, striking Draig in the face.

"Hey stop that, it tickles... Just a second, why are you breathing fire and not me. That's not fair!" Draig said as he pouted like a small child.

"Layla, you should not be able to do that. That's a power that neither your Father nor I have. How long have you been able to do that," I asked.

"That's the first time that I've done that," Layla said. At that moment Lucy started to cough uncontrollably as if she was choking on something.

"Lucy, breath in and out. Try to calm down," I said as I looked at Lucy who seemed to be getting more and more nervous as the seconds passed. Her coughing got worse and worse until Usa woke up and looked up at a Lucy choking.

"Lucy relax. Look at me, focus on me," Usa said as Lucy calmed down a little and focused on Usa. "Good girl, now turn your head to the side and spit," Lucy turned her head and opened her mouth to spit and blue ice shot out, freezing a small portion of the field.

"Huh what was that?" Lucy said as she started to calm down.

"Yes you two, what is going on here?" I asked as I stared at the two dragons.

Back At Sabertooth...

Emrys's POV

As I appeared in the middle of Sabertooth's guild I quickly scanned the guild looking for the guilds new Master, the blonde spiky-haired one called Sting. I saw him sitting with three men, an unusual yet familiar young girl and a couple of weird cats! I walked over to them and they quickly rose to their feet, "that's not necessary, please sit," I said as I leaned over and looked at the guilds new Master.

"You're nothing but a child," I said as I wondered how he could cope with such a challenging position. "I mean no disrespect, but I wonder if you are up to the challenges ahead of you."

"If I'm to leave my children in your care I need to know that they are in good hands... Prove your worth young mage. I challenge you to a contest. Fight me outside!" I said as I disappeared and reappeared in front of their guild. "I"M WAITING!" I shouted. The doors to the guild opened and out came the group that was just sitting a moment ago.

"Old Man there is no need to do this, there must be another way to proveeee..." Sting said as he was sent flying through the air landing on his hands and feet. "That was dirty!" He said as I laughed.

"It's a fight... dirty, clean it makes no difference, only winning matters!" I said with a cocky smirk. "If you can hit me with one attack, I will yeild to you," I said as I tapped my staff, turned to lightning and surged through the air, knocking him down again. "Are you even going to try and counter," I said laughing out loud.

"Fine! We'll do this your way, old man," Sting said as he wiped his forehead and slowly inhaled focusing his magic on his attack, "White Drag..."

As he was about to attack I tapped my staff and hit him with my favorite trap spell. I encased him in stone. 'I love that spell. I've never lost with it and no one has ever broken it,' I smiled as I walked over to the others and said, "don't worry, that spell will wear off in a day or so. Just don't let anyone near himmmm," I was stopped by the sound of stone cracking and I quickly turned to see the young mage glow a bright white color and the stone trap shatter and fly out in all directions.

"Not bad old man, now it's my turn, White Dragon's Roar," he roared as a white burst of energy left his mouth aimed directly at me. I quickly side stepped the blast, but as I moved, I felt a sharp jap of pain in my left side.

'What the hell,' I thought as I looked down to my side to see the little blonde man kneeling at my side with his fist buried in my side. He looked up at me and laughed.

"Is that good enough or shall we play some more," he said with a toothy grin.

"HAHAHA! Impressive young man. I yield," I said with a smile. "You have potential."

"What was the point of all of this old man?" Sting said as he stood up.

"Well! I wanted to be sure that you and this guild would have the potential and the balls to protect my children," I said as I grinned at him. "You need to have the ability to guide, train and protect my daughters, because when we leave tomorrow we will not be back. I need to know that they are in good hands and I believe that they just might be fine here."

"Of course we will protect them, they are members of Sabertooth," Sting said as he scratched the back of his head.

"Good! Glad to hear that! Then train them together, teach them together and put them on missions together. Individually, they are strong, but together with some time and training, they will be a force to be reckoned with," I said with a smirk. "Remember what I said when Lucy does her S-Class Test... together." I winked and then I noticed the young girl again.

"You! Young one, what is your name?" I said as I saw a little light haired thing, with a feathered cloak stick her head out from behind the giant green haired man.

"I'm Yukino Aguria, sir," said the shy little girl.

"You feel very familiar to me! Have we met before?" I said as I tried to figure out why she feels so familiar to me.

I don't think we've met before, perhaps you're thinking of earlier today at the guild," she said as her confidence began to build and she stood up straight.

"I don't think it's that and I don't remember seeing you earlier today, either way it will come to me... eventually," I said with a small grin. "You're a Celestial mage? Correct?"

"Yes sir, I am," she proudly stated, as I reached inside my cloak and bought forward a black key.

"I had intended to give this to Lucy on her birthday several months back," I said as I stared down at black key and raised my head and smiled at her. "Perhaps it's fate that I never gave it to her then... Catch!" I said as I tossed the key to her and she caught it with both hands.

As she opened her hands and stared at the key, her eyes widened and her smile became one of joy. She looked up at me with a tear in her eyes.

"T-th-this, is this really what I think it is," she said with a big smile.

"Yes it is! It is the mythical bird... the Phoenix and I wish for you to have it. It won't be easy to summon and it will be even harder to control, but with training I believe you may be able to wield it," I said as prepared to leave.

"Thank you, Thank you so much. I will cherish it," she said as she held it close to her chest with both hands clasped tightly around it and tilted her head and smiled. She reminded me of Lucy when she first received her keys. I remember how happy she was.

"Ah! Go to the training field tomorrow and show the key to Lucy. I'm sure she will help train you," I said as I disappeared.

Somewhere In Magnolia Town...

Natsu's POV

"I can't believe Gramps won't let us come with him tomorrow... I really want to see Lucy, I need to know she's alright," I said as we walked down the road next to the river that we walked hundreds of times before with Lucy. "This place brings back memories!" I sighed.

"I understand Natsu, but Master may be right this time. We just need to trust his judgement on this one," Erza said as she stopped, sensing a magic presence behind them.

We all turned around and saw an old man with a white beard and long hair, holding a staff. He had a dark aura emanating from him and it was all directed at us.

"I said we would meet again, now you pay for hurting my daughter," he said as he raised his staff.

"STOP! PLEASE STOP!" I yelled as I fell to my knees. "Please! we don't want to fight you, we just want to see Lucy and talk to her."

"We never meant to harm anyone, especially Lucy. We made a horrible judgement call and it's been tearing us apart inside ever since that night," Gray said as he also dropped to his knees. Soon Erza, Lisanna and Happy joined them on the ground.

"GET UP!" Emrys roared. "Take your punishment like proud soldiers, instead of groveling like cowards."

"Please tell us how lushie is?" said the blue cat who was now crying.

"Why would I, after what you did?" Emrys said as he walked up to them and crouched down in front of them.

"Because she is important to us, we would never harm her. What happened that night was an accident. We know it was our fault but we really never meant to hurt Lucy or anyone that night," I said as I started to cry. As I raised my head, I looked around and sighed as I realized we were outside Lucy's old apartment.

"Why would I believe anything you have to say," Emrys said as he slowly raised himself to his feet.

"See that window over there, go look in it and tell me what you see?" I said as I watched the old mage walk over and look in the window. He was there for what seemed like an eternity. Finally, he slowly walked back with a puzzled look on his face.

"So what does a room full of party decorations tell me," Emrys said as he stared at me.

"Well, we planned to throw a surprise party for Lucy that evening and when we went back to the guild to get her we noticed the doors to the guild were destroyed. We didn't think, nor did we ask any questions, we just ran head first into a fight. We were about to attack when we were frozen. Later when we were finally released, my friends were able to stop their attacks but for some reason I couldn't stop mine. I think it was already to late when you froze me. I just looked on in horror as Lucy pushed you out of the way before the attack could hit you. It hit her," I said as I cried.

"Once his attack was called and he was released from the spell, there was no time to do anything about the attack," said Lisanna as she bowed to the ground to apologize. "We never meant any harm... we just made a foolish mistake, please forgive us!"

"Is that really a surprise party for Lucy in there? What you say does have a ring of truth to it... hmmm! what do we do now?" Emrys said as he rubbed his chin, "AH! I got it! I'll just kill you pinky!" Emrys said with a smirk.

"It's all my fault, I understand..." I said as I looked to the ground as tears gently fell from my eyes.

"I'm only kiddin! I never came here to fight with you, well... maybe scare you a little! Morgana and I figured out what happened a few days later and already forgave you, but I can't speak for Lucy. The reason I came here was to deliver a message to you from my wife," he said as he motioned for us to stand up.

"What is her message?" Gray asked.

"Natsu, I believe you know who that mage was, correct?" he said as he looked at me.

"Yes! That was Zeref. We've been trying to figure out what he was doing there that night," I said.

"That was indeed Zeref. He is Morgana's son and Lucy's older half-brother. He must not learn about Lucy until she finishes her training. You must keep our secret and tell everyone in your guild that as well. When the time comes and she is discovered by Zeref, I expect all of Fairy Tail to fight by her side and protect her. After all we saved all of your lives that night... you owe us," he said as he looked at all of us nodding.

"Glad that's settled. Then I'll be off," he said as he turned to leave.

"Wait! Can you take us to Lucy or at least ask her to come back... we really miss her, she's our Nakama," Erza said with tears in her eyes.

"I'm afraid I can't do that! She has a new home at Sabertooth and I believe what she has found there, is now far to important for her to leave. I'm sure someday she will explain it to you. I leave those details for her to explain," he said as we were all disappointed.

"We understand! We need her forgiveness first before we can ask her to return," Lisanna said.

"I'm glad you understand... I can give you all some advice that just may help you with receiving her forgiveness. Show her what you showed me," he said as he looked over to the window that he looked in earlier. With that he disappeared with a puff of smoke.

"You think she will forgive us Natsu," asked Lisanna as she started to cry.

"I hope so Lisanna, I really do," I said as I pulled Lisanna into my chest and rubbed her head to calm her.

"I wonder what reason she has to stay at Sabertooth. Perhaps we can get some answers from Master tomorow after he gets back," Gray said as they all started walking again.

"I hope so!" said Erza with a little smile.

"AYE!" said Happy as he landed on my head.

Later At Sabertooth's Training Grounds...

Morgana's POV

I had just finished listening to Layla nd Lucy's account of what had happened earlier and I must admit I'm a little confused by what has happened. 'It makes no sense how...' I thought as Emrys appeared behind Lucy and Layla. As I looked at his face he seemed excited about something.

"Morgana, I took care of those few issues we discussed before!" he explained as he kept smiling like a little child.

"That's good to hear, but why are you so happy?" I asked him.

"There's a little female mage at Sabertooth that looks and feels very familiar," he happily said as I smiled at him, leaving both Lucy and Layla with very confused looks on their faces.

"Mom! What's going on?" Layla said as she stopped poking Draig and her and Lucy stood up.

"We may have found one of you're older sisters..." I said as I covered my ears as my babies screamed.

"WHAT! SISTERS!" They screamed in Unison.

I'll try from here on out to update at least once a week.

If anyone is still reading this... I thank you.
