Long time readers,

So with all the research I had done to create the battle for this story has pretty much given me all information over every single member in Fairy Tail for all the guilds. I mean seriously thank you Fairy Tail Wiki! So if anyone needs some details on some members you can either ask me or them.

Now as for this battle, I tried to make it as accurate and awesome as my mind allows me. So it's up to you guys to tell me how it is and if anything needs to be changed.

Now for the reason this chapter took so long...

I've been dealing with a lot of bull lately, actually for the past two now almost three years. Mostly because my parents have gotten divorced but my father keeps trying to drag us back when he is the reason we left in the first place.

Then there's school, I for some stupid reason decided to do yearbook-class again and it is so damn stressful. Then there's JROTC, French II, Geometry :P, World History :P. that sort of thing.

Then there's the fact that my brother is confusing and annoying me to know end these days, but he's cool.

Then there's the fact that I have a job now, and some other things I have to take care of. I suppose that's not really a lot, but I've been real stressed out lately.

There's my grandparents that may be reaching the end of the road and I want to spend all the time I can with them.

So basically I'm really busy with life right now. (The worst part is the government got rid of all our unhealthy - ice cream machine and free day with junk food - food so I don't even have something to look forward to)

Anyways I do plan to update more recently, trying to get my head back together. This chapter is a tiny bit short but it's a chapter right?

Also to those who had been enjoying my deleted stories I am so sorry and stated my reasons on my profile page, but really all I can say is I hope I can make it up to you all by continuing this story to its best :)

But I think it looks legit so far... Now time for you to get reading...

Lucy's Pov

We're heading out today. Everyone is eating breakfast now seeing them all packed up and ready to go. I remain where I've been all night, on the window ledge on the second floor. I can feel that our next battles are going to be epic and brutal, but most of all I got the feeling we're completely and totally outmatched.

I may have gained new strength, but I haven't lost my intelligence.

After all, we're facing a dark guild that has no master meaning they don't follow rules or leadership. There's nine of them, the lowest ranking mage has power stronger than all the fairy magic combined together.

The battle formation was changed up a bit, basically we take on those who go best against the enemy with similar elements and a complete odd ball along with them to throw the enemy off. But we can't underestimate them. I can only hope the others have realized this as well.

"Hey." I look over my shoulder seeing Rogue standing awkwardly against the door frame. What's left of it anyways.

I wave my hand to him in greeting.

"We're heading out in five minutes. You should get something to eat before we go." He told me.

I nod absently. "Not hungry." I reply.

Silence falls over us but not awkwardly. I breathed in deeply smiling softly smelling the light breeze from the forest. But the smile disappears knowing soon all scents will be tainted in blood shed.

"Thinking of the battle?" I hear Rogue ask.

I nod. "Yes. I feel as though even with knowing what they can do and what they look like, we're entirely out of strength and experience to be going up against them."

He nods, either to what I said or agreeing.

"Some of the others know this as well, but we have to do all we can to hold them off and take them down." Rogue says.

I think this is the most I've heard him speak, but then again I can be closer to myself around him. I think this is myself but I'm not entirely sure, cost of being numb I suppose.

"There's a good chance some of us will die in this battle." I tell him without emotion in my voice.

I feel his eye studying me before hearing him sigh softly. "Most likely." He says in a low whisper.

I nod before shrugging and standing up.

"But it's our job as mages to protect the civilians even if it costs us our life." I grin at him. "Besides this battle is going to be EPIC!" I say and swing my bag over my shoulder.

He nods slightly, though I can see a fleck of amusement in his eyes.

Half way out the door I stop remembering something.

"Idiot." I cursed under my breath.

Rogue turns to me eyeing me strangely.

I smile sheepishly. "Left my rifle back at my apartment." I tell him. He nods. "Give me a sec I'll be down in a moment." I tell him and watch him go. Once his footsteps have faded I focus my aura around me and picture my gun in my mind and then imagine it in my hand.

After a couple seconds I feel a weight in my hands and open my eyes seeing my rifle sitting nicely in my palms. I sigh in relief before swinging it over my shoulder.

"Good, good." I say before walking over with the others, and together we head into the forest.

2 hours later

To say the walk through the very dark forest was easy is true, but to say it was calm and peaceful is unfortunately not true. All though I'm grateful the exceeds have been left at the tower so I don't have to deal with Happy's voice, sadly we've been stuck with the pink haired idiot.

"I swear at this rate the enemy will find us with how loud they're being." I mutter darkly under my breath. Those who heard my comment chuckled slightly sparing a glance at ice and fire.

"Ever hear the quote 'the world will end in either fire or ice? Yeah? Well at this rate it's gonna be both that ends the world." I say glaring at Gray and Natsu before sighing sadly. "I'm ashamed to say those to are in my guild." I say catching the small upward quirk of Rogue's lips.

I elbow him slightly in the side gaining a confused glance from him. "Na-uh, I say that smile my friend. You can't hide from me." I said smirking amused at his stotic expression. But he merely kicks me in the ankle as payback.

I grin at him before rolling my eyes.

After a while - I don't know how long - we reached a clearing, and I suddenly tensed feeling two fairly hidden auras with insane killer extent. Though it seemed they only wanted us to feel the killer intent in hopes to shake us up a bit.

They succeeded.

I could see some of the lesser mages in the group shaking slightly, or trying to not breath as though it helps.

Two forms jumped from the trees and landed in front of us. They wore cloaks disguising their appearance, something to shake us more on their identity.

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, AH HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH" Sickening laughter erupted from the one in front of us, coming from the one to the right of the other.

It sounded absolutely maddening, but it did draw the insane smirk from Alice.

The laughter never stopped seemingly never ending. I could literally smell the fear coming off some of the younglings, and I knew this wouldn't be a fight for them.

The one next to the mad one remained silent, almost seeming like an illusion. None of us moved but I did notice as the none laughing one lifted a flute to his lips.

My eyes widened and I instantly knew we had to leave this to 3rd formation. Then again, at this rate we'd be lucky if the formation plan works out.

I certainly doubt it will.

"Those who aren't supposed to fight them run in 3...2...1...NOW!" I shout and picture myself on the other side of the forest and pick up into a sprint. I'll leave it up to them to not die...

Normal Pov

After Lucy gave the command everyone who wasn't suppose to fight them used their magic to get where the now teleported Lucy sprinted off into on the other side.

Lucy didn't look back as she sprinted deep into the forests, the others following close behind.

3rd formation consisted of Lisanna, Erza, Jack, and Alice. But at the moment the enemy with the Flute, none other than Fayt let out a tune, all those that hadn't made it passed were shoved backwards by an unseen force.

Everyone had made it out apart from 3rd formation except Wendy and Hibiki, who were now gasping for air after having the breath forced from their lungs.

"Now now, you won't be running anymore. It's time to play a game." A deep voice reached their ears, coming from Fayt, who had now removed his cloak.

He grinned mercilessly.

"Time to play, dear children."

Yes really short chapter, y'all don't have to comment on that.

Oh and by the way, is it just me or does y'all sound strange, I'm Texan but I never speak like that.

Even if I've lived here 5 years I still can't get used to their accent...

Strange right?

Oh well, I always was more city then country :/

Next chapter hopefully won't take as long as this one. I'm sorry it's taken so long, and to those who are pissed at me for deleting some of my other stories you have my apologies, I will continue them at some point, but right now I wish to complete the one's I have on my plate before it get's overflowing again.

Later guys, and thanks for sticking with my story! :D
