Future Kang here.

Just enjoy, I don't feel like typing much right now.

Heh, lol.

3 days later...

After 3 days of avoiding the media and trying to figure what's going on, the guild finally comes to a meeting called by the guild master of Fairy Tail, Makarov.

Lucy walked around trying to find Erza and Gray, then she eyed the two mages sitting near the stage for the meeting.

"Hey guys." The re-quip and ice mage turned to see the one and only blond-haired female sitting next to them. "Have you seen Wendy, Carla, or Happy?"

Gray laid back, a scoffed, "Nah, probably went out to get some exercise since Natsu left and we never saw them again! NO DUH WE HAVEN'T SEEN THEM!"

"Lucy," Erza said to her, whipping her head back from threatening Gray as he apologized for what he just said (which was a pretty lame sarcastic quote).

"Yes?"

"Have you seen Mira? I haven't seen her up until 2 days ago."

Lucy looked up pondering, "Yeah, you're right, I was so caught up to find out what's going on to even notice she's gone. I haven't seen her though, I'll go ask Elfman and Lissana."

"Mm, see you in a few minutes." Erza replied as the blond-haired walked off.

"Whadda you think Gramps is gonna plan for us?"

The red head looked over her shoulder, "Probably something to do with Natsu, finding him and what not..riiiiiiiight?"

Ignoring the threat Gray shot back, "I doubt it, he'll probably say something like 'he will follow his own path' or 'we can't force him to say' or-"

He was interrupted by a sword pointing at his neck and a enraged demon with red eyes glared daggers at him. "Don't say that...you don't know what's going to happen...do you? DON'T. JINX. US. GOT IT!?"

"YESMA'AMI'MSORRYPLEASELETGOITHURTSNONOI'MSORRYERZADON'TDOITDON'TDOITDON'TDOITAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-"

"That's what you get for being an insolence.."

A weeping, bruised, Gray lying on the floor, being kicked by Erza relentlessly. Why-OOF!-is-OOF!-she-OOF!-OOW!-mak-ACK!-ing-AUGHTACK!-such-OOF!-a bi-OW!-g-OOF-deal? *CRACK* -AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

The blond-haired female wondered around looking for a certain Strauss family. And sure enough, the two were there, sitting on some bar stools.

Lissana was talking to her 'manly' brother, with a worried look and expressed concern on her face, though she did sweat-dropped and laughed a few times when Elfman said something, him being Elfman.

Elfman was just being Elfman (him being Elfman), saying 'MAN!' with every sentence, but he did look a bit weary and tired.

Actually both of them had a slight, black half circle under their eyes, and were droopy and shoulders slumped. What happened to them?

"Hey guys!" The two white-haired brother and sister whipped their head around too see the celestial mage.

"Oh hey Lucy.." Lissana said, her voice giving out the exhaustion that's been put on her.

Elfman shouting still full of energy, but still can hear tiredness in her voice. "Hey Lucy, we were just talking how manly you were!"

"Yeah..." Lucy said sweat-dropping and looking away. "Oh have you seen Mira, Lissana? I haven't seen her in a long time, and I was wondering if you two know where she is."

Both of them sighed. "No, we haven't seen her..we looked everywhere for the past two days..no clue of her anywhere...*YAWN* we-we've been lookin' day..and nigh..*YAWN*..t.."

"Wow, both of you look really tired. You guys need some rest, you two should go home."

"But Lucy..we-"

"Can't you guys see what condition you're in! You guys need to stop and sleep, this isn't going to help you or Mira! You-"

"Look Lucy," Elfman interjected said seriously, "W-we can't rest, not until we find our sister again, and that we know she's safe..I..I don't wanna lose another person again.. We need to stay here, who knows what information the master might have about Mira.."

Lucy looked in awe and understanding. If Elfman was serious and deadset about finding Mira, it must mean a lot to him.

"Well," Lucy finally answered, "If you're really that serious about finding Mira, I'll let you stay and try to find her. But after this meeting, you have to rest, at least take a nap and you can be on your way."

The two smiled, "We will."

Then the trio heard a coughing noise on the stage, and all eyes zoomed in on the guild master, Makarov.

"Listen up brats!" the master yelled, "I heard of what's going on, how Natsu disappeared, how the media is going crazy, and how some of our guild members are missing as well, especially Wendy, Carla, Happy, and Mira."

Every nodded in agreement, murmuring something to someone. Then silenced by the wave of Makarov's hand.

"But listen," the master continued, "I know how well you want to find our beloved family, but..we aren't going to look for them."

"...WHHAAAAAAAAAT!?"

Makarov just sighed, "You see, I can tell that our fellow guild members decided to leave because they wanted to and followed their destin-"

The silence sooned turn to outbursts of rage, protest, and anger before Makarov could finish his sentence. Even Laxus was surprised at Gramps decision. Though he did shrug it off with a 'tch,' that said Nobody cares about those losers anyway. Then he stopped, releasing a hmmm.. and heading out of the guild.

"SIIIIIIIIIILEEEEEEEEENCE!"

Everyone stopped, sat down, then hid from the titan-sized guild master who had tick marks covering his face.

As he shrunk back down to his normal size, he just sighed again, both pittingly and worriedly, and answered their protests.

"I know that you think we need to search for them, to find them, I thought that too. But we can't. It's their own path, their own goals, and we must stand back and let them follo-"

Then the guild hall doors kicked open, as everyone whipped their heads around to see how would interrupt the master as a blinding light shined down.

More like crackling lightning.

It was Laxus, holding up, dragging, or picking up what seemed to be Wendy, Happy, Carla, and Mira. And they all yelled in outrage the same thing:

"We need to go find Natsu, and tell him to come back!"

Everyone dropped their jaws on the ground, and most people fainted with their souls leaving their bodies. HOW THE HECK WAS HE ABLE TO FIND HIM SO FAST!?

The titan came back with, again, tick marks covering his face. "YOU LITTLE BRAT! I WAS HAVING A MOMENT THERE, SAYING HOW IMPORTANT IS IT FOR THEM TO FOLLOW THEIR PATH AND YOU BROUGHT THEM HERE?! YOU SHOULD HAVE TOL-"

"Jeez, chill out Gramps, I was only helping," Laxus said. "Tch, fine, I can drag them back to the ally they came from."

"DON'T DO THAT! PUT THEM BACK HERE!"

"Okay, so want do you want, do you want me to put them in boxes and leave'em in the storage closet?"

After a five minute dispute...

"SO ANYWAY.." Makarov continued, "this goes for Natsu now, we can't go find, or follow him. I don't think we can either."

Laxus 'tch'ed (Yes, I made it up because it's Laxus's 'thing') "Tch, I couldn't track him down, I think Natsu either left extremely early, to the point us dragonslayers can't track him down, or he is deadset on leaving and never coming back.

Makarov waved his hand to keep the silence still, "Proof we can't follow him no matter what. And besides, he needs to follow his pat-" Gramps looked at the guild hall doors in hope.

Then everyone did the same for some 3 minutes, and then drooped in sadness seeing that Natsu isn't going to come through the door.

"He needs to follow his path, " Makarov continued, "it's his own choice, and we can't interfere."

The whole guild was stilled in quiet, well up until Gray was sweating bullets and breaking the silence. "WELL, I AAAAM GOING HOME, TOO BAD FOR FLAME BRAIN! I GOTTA GO BYE BYE!" he said as he ran off for the doors (and hills).

Everyone confused then turned to a sitting-up-straight-demonic-dark-aura-red-eyes-face-shadowed-Erza which pretty explained the situation.

Then an explosion of energy erupted in the middle of the guild hall, sending chairs, tables, people, and even balls of magic, soaring through the air.

In the middle of it was a the-same-thing-above-two-lines-up-purgatory-equipped-Erza. "Somebody's going to die TODAY! I think it will be...GRAAAAAAAAY!"

"EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK!" as Gray's sprinting speed increased tenfold, but no match for the demonic Erza.

"ERZAPLEASEIDIDN'TMEANTOJINXORCALLITIJUSTGUESSEDIDIDN'TKNOWIJUSTASSUMEDNODONT'DOITPLEASEITHURTSNODON'THURTMEI'MSORRYNODON'TTOUCHTHERENOANYTHINGBUTHATNOTHINGBUTTHATNOTHATHNONTHATNONTHATAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"

The room echoed in pain of Gray's shrieks, you could actually feel the pain.

Everyone hid behind the closet thing far away from where Erza was standing. Well, all of except Juvia.

"GET AWAY FROM GRAY-SAMAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"

As soon as she attempted to attack and pry her 'love' off of Erza's hands, Erza threw Gray with such force she threw him out the building and to the edge of town, breaking every bone in his body.

Right after throwing, she turned to Juvia, showing a not-human-face which made her whimper in fear and flinch, and Erza grabbed her face with pointy sharp fingers, making her bleed water, and smashing her head down to the floor with such force that it created a shockwave and crater onthe floor, breaking down to the storage area.

After that she went out of control.

"RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"

A dark figure jumped from the hole, throwing Juvia at something, who was bleeding water all over, extremely injured and completely shattered, almost.

Everyone was recovering from the shock wave, as they saw Erza lunge for Macoa with a huge mace covered in magic. Backing up to a wall, he screamed and created a wall of fire, which Erza broke easily, and she made a motion to swing a mace straight for his head.

"FATHER!" Romeo yelled.

Erza would have killed him if it wasn't for a giant hand catching the mace just in time, and calming a demon down.

"Erza that's enough!"

Erza just stood still, followed by panting, and slowly de-re-equipped and the magic slowly draining out of her. Then she fell to her knees and fainted on the ground.

The whole room was silent, as everyone just stared, completely stunned by what just happened. Then the master then gave orders, and he meant now.

"I WANT THE INJURED PEOPLE AT THE INFIRMARY STAT, EVERYONE WHO KNOWS HOW TO HEAL GO NOW! Wendy, you heal as much as possible and come to my office, I need to talk to you and the others, go." Wendy nodded.

"TEND TO ERZA AND TELL HERE TO COME TO MY OFFICE! GET LUCY IN MY OFFICE TOO! AND I NEED SOMEONE TO GO GET GRAY AND GET TO HIM BEFORE HE BLEEDS OUT! YOU TWO, GO INTIATE PLAN 74, AND FIX THE GUILD HALL WITH YOUR MAGIC!"

While the master shouted orders and everyone went to go to where they were ordered too, Lucy, Happy, Wendy, and Carla went to a exhausted Erza and carried her to an infirmary room.

A few hours later..

"WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU THINKING!"

Makarov kept pounding them with shouts, yells, and bellows. Well all except Lucy.

"YOU, ERZA! YOU ARE GONNA GO THROUGH HELL FOR WHAT YOU DID! ATTACKING TWO GUILD MEMBERS, TO THE POINT WHERE THEY WERE STANDING BEFORE DEATH'S DOOR! AND YOU TRIED TO KILL SOMEONE ON THE SPOT!" A giant-sized Makarov turned to Mira, Wendy, Happy, and Carla, whom of which most were hiding behind Mira, and Mira was hiding behind the chair.

"AND YOU FOUR, WHAT WERE YOU THINKING DISAPPEARING AND LEAVING US WORRIED SICK!(I know I said that I was going to let you follow you're own path but still)"

Makarov called the four to his office, including Lucy though he didn't yell at her, and has been yelling at them for the past four hours. It made everyone shiver constantly and hide every now and then. Lucy was hiding too, behind horologium.

And then finally, he shrunk back down to normal, and sighed as usual.

"There's something I have to show..about that night," Master said, "And about the night Natsu visited me."

The four who have left their seat for the door, who didn't want to here that night, perked up to listen about Natsu and then sat back down.

"Master," Mira said, "what other night Natsu came to visit you?"

Yet again, another depressed sigh escaped the master's lips.

The night was still, as a grandfather clock stroked it's hand from side to side, ringing three times with it's bell.

Then a huge explosion rumbled the whole house the master was sleeping in.

Makarov woke up in shock, he fell to the floor and peeked out the window, shocking him even more.

He ran down the stairs and opened the back door to reveal the fire dragonslayer.

"Natsu! WHERE WERE YOU AND WHAT'S THE MEANING OF THIS!"

Then was sileneced as he saw the shadowed face of the fire dragonslayer. He was depressed and silent, emotional expression swirling on his face, and a tear drop falling from the red-eyed Natsu.

"Hey Gramps.." Natsu said, barely a whisper.

"What happened to you Natsu?" Makarov asked, his voice at the same level of voice.

With a slight amused, yet depressed chuckle, "You really don't remember..I guess that is expected as of everyone in the guild...getting drunk..getting wasted..and being hurtful.."

"..."

"And you know what Gramps," Natsu said a little louder,"I think I don't know why I came here, maybe to say goodbye forever.."

Makarov grew more and more concerned, "Wait, what do you mean?"

"It means I'm leaving Gramps! It means I will leave Fairy Tail! It means that I will never come back because that what my friends said! They said that they didn't want me any more! The friends I thought who loved me! Who were family! Even you Gramps! I guess you guys are all the same..doesn't matter, all of you are heartless..just like Igneel who left me.." Natsu was on his knees, sobbing.

Makarov was stunned, shocked, and terrified. A million questions flooded through him, directly toward his mouth. What had happened to the carefree, dense brat he had known and loved? What was he talking about? Why is he like this?

Before he was able to say anything, Natsu tossed a lacrima to Makarov. "This will answer all your questions." Then Natsu turned from him and started to walk away.

"Wait you brat! Where do you think you're going!"

Natsu simply turned to him and said, "My grave." and thought the rest out. and think about how I am worthless in life.

Makarov tried chasing after him, but then smoke started fuming out of Natsu's body and a cloud of ash surrounded Makarov, as he coughed and swiped it away with a giant hand. He looked around for the dragonslayer, but he was nowhere to be seen.

As Makarov was left bathing in silence, thinking about what had just happened and staring at the lacrima, only the ticking of the grandfather clock accompanying him.

Everyone stared at the floor in silence.

Then Makarov held up a roll of leather parchment and unrolled it to reveal a jagged, yet dull lacrima. "Now it's time to see the truth, you four, you don't have to see this again, but when we are done, show this to everyone." Mira, Carla, Happy, and Wendy nodded and headed out the door, only for Mira to say on the way out, "Brace yourself."

Then Gray, Lucy, and Erza looked to see from what happened last night. The lacrima was a recording of one of the camera lacrimas hanging from the room of the guild hall' main room.

Then the saw it right after Natsu left. And it -(insert word that over exaggerates how shocked they are)-. At every single second they cringed, Lucy had her hand covering her mouth, hearing every insult. Erza sat in silence, shadow covering her face. Gray was cringing, even he thought it was a little too harsh.

And all of them gasped as they heard the last part of what Lucy said. It horrified them. Then the saw a pink-haired person, tears streaming from his hidden face, at the crack of the door burn his Fairy Tail mark off. And they heard him growl in pain, as he fell on his knees sobbing, and then he walked away with out a word.

Lucy was on the verge of crying and bursting out, Gray was looking away, and Erza just sat there, dark aura collecting around her.

Makarov said something that made it worst. "You haven't saw it, didn't you?"

They replayed to where they saw Natsu crying, and looked at them, and they saw it.

In the video

A very drunk Erza, Gray, and Lucy, looked at Natsu's scarf.

(I will leave out hiccups. Pretend they sound drunk) "Hey look, it's the flame-brain's scarf, look how stupid it looks," Gray said.

"I agree, let's have fun with it.." Erza said,"RE-QUIP!"

Lucy cackled drunkly, "Natsu is stupid, let's just destroy his stuff."

"hehehe..I have a scarf and a katana.. what should I do?" Erza said playfully.

*A voice can be heard from the background, mixed with sobbing, the drunk people can't hear i* 'P-p-please d-don't.."

Gray drank more shots, "LET'S RIP IT PIECE BY PIECE.."

Lucy hugged Gray, "YEAH GOOD IDEA GRAY-SAMA YOU HAVE THE BEST IDEAS, unlike that stupid ******** we have at the guild.."

'L-L-Lucy..w-why..'

As they ripped it piece by piece, Natsu cried harder, and harder.. Then Happy came in headbutting Erza to stop her from ripping more pieces off of the dragonslayer's muffler.

He was sobbing and angry, "STOP! YOU'RE MAKING IT RUINED! THAT'S NATSU'S!"

Then he was sent flying across the room, being punched in the face by Lucy, "Shut up you stupid cat."

"OPEN GATE OF THE LION! LEO!"

"OPEN GATE OF THE SCORPION! SCORPIO!"

The two celestial spirits appeared, "Yes Lucy?"

"Go beat up the stupid cat!"

The two looked at each other. "Are you sure?"

"HOW DARE YOU DEFY YOUR MASTER!"

"L-Lucy, you're drunk.."

"JUST DO IT!"

"Oh well.."

The two spirits then cornered the blue cat, relentlessly beating him up, having no choice, as Lucy cackled drinking more shots and helping Erza and Gray rip more pieces of the scarf.

'Happy..'

Then Mira came and beat the two up and saved Happy, then they were surrounded by more spirits, sent by Lucy. Wendy and Carla were captured by other guild members who were drunk, and fighting for their lives.

Mira couldn't handle them all, the she was being beaten by the spirits and-

Erza smashed the lacrima to bits, tears falling from her face and crying, her faced shadowed and demon-eyed too.

Lucy was choking with her own sobs, and Gray just grit his teeth and stared at the floor.

"I..I...I didn't know we were so heartless.." Lucy said in between sobs.

Makarov spoke in a stern voice, "He hates us already, we cannot look for him."

Erza slammed both of her hands on the table and look Makarov straight in the eye. Tears were streaming down her face, some snot from her nose, her face wearing a pleading look, she looked sad and angry, confused and hurt, "I DON'T CARE!"

Silence took over a few seconds.

"I-I don't care.." Erza repeated, crying, "I AM GOING TO BRING HIM BACK AND MAKE HIM LIKE US AGAIN!"

"ERZA!" Makarov said shouting concerned.

"I don't care, I am going to look for him, and you can't stop me!" Erza said, her voice cracking, and high pitched as she walked out and slammed the door.
