Hey readers,

So I'm not favoring any of the guys if you think I don't want rogue as the winner. I'm neutral actually. I was sort of testing you guys to see what you would do if you thought I didn't want Rogue and most said rogue before realizing my true intent which was for you to hear about her having no heart. It's a close call between Zeref and Rogue, so I'm eliminating Zancrow. I also except PM votes which have been included.

Here's the score so far...

Rogue - 19

Zeref - 16

Lyon - 2

Cobra - 3

Midnight - 1

Now on to the chapter~

Lucy's Pov

"What are you doing?" Gray's voice interrupts me.

I spare him a glance, before going back to work. "I'm planning everything out. Better to know what we're doing before we're on the battlefield.

He nods and attempts to look over it but I push him away. "You can look at it when it's done." I say to him and continue working.

It's been 7 hours since we all got on the train. I 'slept' for about 3 hours before I decided to just work on this battle formation. I sat up so now Gray is sitting next to me with Wendy beside him. Mira, Erza, and Lisanna are on the other booth while Natsu is knocked out on the floor.

Courtesy of Mwah.

Anyways, I've placed all of us on this according to our abilities and personality.

Natsu is the most reckless and doesn't listen to orders no matter who's in charge. His Power is Fire DS Magic with lightning DS Magic as a secondary magic. Most likely he'll fight whoever intimidates him the most so I'll just put him on the front right.

Mira is smart, and since her magic focuses on flight, speed, and power I'll keep her in the back. That way when she comes in to fight she won't have to worry about taking flight because there's no one behind her. She'll probably fight alone and so she should take not the strongest or the weakest member. I need more info on who should fight who.

Erza has the strong will power and has great resistance power. So I suggest we put her against the one with the most elemental mage. I'll put her in the center so they'll suspect she's the leader.

Lisanna isn't the best of fighters, and not much magic ability besides transformation. I know Natsu will turn his back to protect her so I'll keep her as far away from Natsu as possible, to the right of Mira.

Wendy will take the back right for her medic ability, and as for her attacks she can use her wind for speed on the others. Like an extra push.

Gray, many mages underestimate him for his basic magic but he can normally beat his opponent. So he should go with one of the stronger opponents but I suspect he will be out of magic power by the time his opponent is defeated.

And then lastly there's me. I'll be in the front but hidden in the trees. Considering the area we're heading to, I've been there before for a mission and I know the area is almost a complete forest. The battle will most likely take out the trees and create a dirt field.

I'll be the assassin of us all, hidden signals to help out all of us, including the guilds we'll be working with. None of us are to fight any of them alone. When we meet up with the other guilds I'll help Hibiki create who should go with who on this formation. A formation that specializes for each person and their abilities.

"Ok, check it out. It's not complete because I need the fighters from all the other guilds, but this is the basic battle formation." I tell them placing the map on the long table in front of us.

The reason I had chosen first class was not only because of the free drinks and comfy sofa but also because we get complete privacy. No screaming fans or ease-droppers.

I leaned back while crossing my arms behind my head and watched as they took in their battle positions along with everyone else's.

After about 5 minutes I decided to ask them, "Any objections?" I say, but even if they had I won't be changing it. But thankfully they all seemed to like this formation. I nod. "Good." I say and roll up the sheet before sticking it inside my jacket.

Hn, this is boring. I internally sigh. Mira is staring out the window, Erza is sleeping. Natsu is well knocked out, Lisanna is watching Natsu 'sleep', Gray is creating things out of his water, while Wendy is also sleeping. The exceeds are sleeping above us above the suitcases and bags from the people who were smart enough to pack small unlike one red-head.

Geesh, red-heads.

I close my eyes decided I may as well get as much sleep as possible seeing we WON'T be getting any sleep on the battle field.

Sigh, just 7 more hours and I'll be free.

Lucy's Inner Mind

"Lucy~ Lucy~" A gruff voice echoes.

I look around, I was standing on a lake, on the water. The water was dark but also bright. Forest trees surrounded the small lake I stood on, mist floating up from the water and fog clouding the moon from the sky. Rain poured lightly against the ground but I remained dry.

"Lucy. You have finally come to see me." The same gruff voice echoed.

"Who are you?" I ask.

A creature approaches from my right, but the fog covers up it's identity for me to tell what it is. But it is no mage.

"You should know me~" It says.

A green and red eye reveals it's self from the fog.

My eyes widen. "You...who are you?" I ask again.

The fog dispersed and there stood a huge black wolf, it's two different colored eyes glowing and seeing deep down into my soul.

"I am the one who seeks those who have been betrayed. Those who are unloved and unseen. I am the one who becomes apart of you, and rids the feelings of pain. I am the one who takes the form of your soul. In other words, I am you."

"But that can't be true...If that is so then why weren't you there when I was a child?" I ask it.

"Because my power would have been to powerful for your small body. My power would have destroyed your body, and left an empty shell behind." It says.

I nod. "Okay, but then why am I here?" I ask.

"Because you wish to be stronger."

"Why would I want to be stronger? I am already strong." I say.

"The answer lays deep within your soul, apart of you that I have left untouched." It says.

I groan and rub my temple.

"Okay whatever. If you're not going to tell me then fine." I say gaining a groan from the black wolf.

"Um, what should I call you? I think it'd be weird calling you me or you or it all the time." I tell it.

It sighs. "I am apart of your soul, I am your soul to be precise. My name was given to you already, you just need to remember it."

I narrow my eyes. "How could I have given you a name if this is the first time I've seen you?"

I think it was smiling if a wolf could.

"You've seen me before, the first time we met. By the river bank when your tears of sorrow splashed and merged with the stream."

My eyes widen.

I then relaxed and smirk.

"You're-" I watch as the black wolf begins to walk toward me, but stops at the water.

"Your name is-"

Normal Pov

Lucy wakes up seeing the train whistle blow as the train comes to a stop. She sighs. Getting up and grabbing her duffle from the rack above she throws it over her shoulder and begins walking out, knowing the others are right behind her.

When she's off the train she gives a good look at the huge cliff ledge that had a skeleton in rags hanging off a poll, it's boned body blowing through the wind.

The area was surrounded by forests and the entire place was practically deserted. The train sped off the moment Natsu stumbled off clearly not wanting to stay there any longer.

"Are we in the right place?" Gray asks.

Lucy nods and throws her arms out.

"Yes, welcome to the Lost Kingdom. The place where 10 thousand men lost they're lives 100 years ago by an unknown dark magic."

Heheh, so I lied when I said this chapter would be introduction to the guilds.

This is where the battle field will be. But the teams will be meeting up next chapter for sure.

Thank you for all your support and for sticking with the story this entire time!

Later~
