Chapter Four - War

I flew out of my office. The stair disappeared in a blurb and Boom! standing before me were the men and girl I least wanted to see.

My feet managed a calm stride and my lips managed a brillant smile. "Well look who it is, the ones who left us all behind. Follow me please."

"Luce," a hot hand gripped my arm. I turned an icy glare to him.

"Follow me please. Erza, Mira, Levy, George, I needed you upstairs ten minutes ago."

"You would think she'd be happy to see us." Wendy whispered while walking through the maze of stairs to Lucy's office.

"Obviously she wasn't," Laxus growled.

"What did we do?" Gajeel grummbled. He hadn't spoken since they arrived.

Kenzie chriply walked beside the group. "You left for eight years while a vicous battle was waged between the humans and pretty much everything else including Acnologia." She was looking at the bright screen of her lacrima. "Oh and by the way, Master Lucy is pissed, so be carfeul. She's the strongest mage in Fairy Tail."

"Eight years," Natsu looked at his hands.

I was beyond pissed, was it obvious, I hoped it was. "Please sit," I said as sweetly as I could. The room was cramped with this many people, but I wanted them to suffer at the moement.

I sat down my comfy chaor and made everyone, but Levy stand. "Kenzie, please make a call to Lisanna, Gray and Juvia telling them to be ouside my door."

"Yes, ma'am," Kenzie got immediatly to typeing and calling. I stared at my victims.

"Lucy, you don't want to do this," Cana said in fear.

"Do what?" Happy asked.

"Kill us all." The brunette moaned.

"Lushe couldn't do that.' Happy dismissed her claim, but I settled my full glareat him, "New Lucy can though."

"Please call me Head Master Lucy," I hissed.

"They're here," Kenzie managed to get the door open wide enough to let in more Council memebers Gray and Juvia walked in followed by Lisana and her kids.

"Kenzie, make sure Lisanna's kids are fine," once the door was shut. I continued the silence with my glare.

"Are you going to talk?" Gray asked. "I'm fine with you not talking, but I just portal traveled here from Lamia Scale and Lyon was hitting on Juvia again," Gray pouted.

I sigh, "The King just had a meeting with me and reminded me of the Dragon Treaty made three years ago. This treaty is the whole reason we are safe now." I pause to let that sink in. "We made the treay with the Dragons so they could take in Acnologia and keep him. However, the Dragons had a condition: once all the Dragon Slayers return to Fiore, we will take Acnologia back.

"He was in prison for three years not long enough to be completely sedated, but just long enough that he is almost giving up hope, so he is despreate. Once we realease Acnologia we will all die." I say with a much venom as I could muster.

"Lisanna, give me some good news," I change my attitude to business.

"Well, everything was going badly, but when Sting and Rouge showed up they convinced Minerva to be in our alliance.

"Gray?"

"We managed to negotate with Jura, but he wanted to share in our profits from trade, hunter, and all other miscelliaonasous guilds. I said yes because those are some of are more profitable guilds; we could lose some money with them.

"Thank you, now as our spokes-people to those guilds. I need you to tell them about Acnologia." They nodded. "Mira, I need you to prepare for the Gates to open and schedule Magic Day celebrations early." she nodded.

"George, since you don't really need to be at the Heartfilia Town guild all the time, I'm assigning your secratary to take care of it while you take care of Levy and Capricorn City. It is vital we have communications runing at all times and cities armed.

"I want all of our efforts towards protecting Fiore." I finish. Everyone moves to leave the crowded room. I sit back down in my chair, closing my eyes in relief.

"Luce," a gentle voice called out. My insticts reacted instantly. I grabbed my whip, lashed it out, and opened my eys in that order. My brown orbs found Natsu knocked out at the end of my whip.

I also saw a shocked Wendy, Carla looking at her claws, Gajeel and Lily grumbling to eachother, Laxus listening to music, and Happy tryng to help Natsu. "Why didn't you leave?" I asked.

"We...um..." Wendy couldn't finish.

"We wanted to know what the hell happened here." Laxus said, his usal calm made him only slightly intimadating.

"War," I tell them, "war and suffering. Fairy Tail was destroyed, almost everything was. We had to rebuild so many times. Everyone began to look at me, then all Fiore began to look at us. Death was breathing down our necks and ... we couldn't do anything. But we could.

"Back then we were weak and useless, now we are the strongest guild in the capital of magic. Fairy Tail has become a legend."

"How did you of all people become Master?" Laxus asked.

"On the day of the first attack, I was the one to command everyone and make sure they got to safety. I would have done it anyways, but people thought of it as bravery. They started to look to me for everything. But Laxus, I should remind you I'm not a Master of Fairy Tail, I am Head Master, leader of Master Council."

"So that meeting," Wendy guessed.

"Yes, that was a congregation of a few Masters not all of them were here today. I know Bryan is very busy in Layla Town."

"What do you mean 'Masters' there is only one Master of Fairy Tail," Laxus growled.

"That is the way it used to be, but not anymore. In order to protect Fiore we made new facilities - guilds - across the country. To be specific there are fourteen Fairy Tails," I said. "Now if you'll excuse me I have to prepare for a war."
