XXXXXX

(Natsu POV)

I stood with my hand sliding out of Lisanna's chest, the lifeless corpse now lying on the floor. Then Elfman and Mira were charging at me but then TWO Lucy's came out of nowhere and sent them flying. "LUCY! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?! AND WHY ARE THERE TWO OF YOU?" Laxus asked thoroughly incensed.

I laughed and looked at her, saying, "And you call me impatient, I could have just looked at them and they would have blacked out you know." I look back at Laxus and say, "Shut up Sparky this doesn't concern you yet. Now why did you not wait like we discussed. Oi, Gōsuto get down here so we can start the next phase already, Padre and Madre you too. Set up the arenas!" The couple known as Padre and Madre Naturaleza nodded and put the guild members in cages for the time being and began to build up magical energy and design the arena that I had in mind. I looked around and saw that everyone was ready to kill me but couldn't as they were cages that cancelled magic. "So, any questions? I'm going to answer your guy's until the arena is ready. So ask away."

They all looked at me before finally Master spoke up and asked, "Why my boy? Why?"

I looked at him and felt a vein on my forehead pop and my voice is at a yell, "SO NOW I GET ASKED QUESTIONS? NOW I GET A 'WHY MY BOY'? NOW! NOT FIVE YEARS AGO WHEN I WAS FALSELY ACCUSED OF HURTING MY LUCE? WHERE IS THE FAIRNESS HERE! WHERE?!" I looked at him and saw him look away from me, unable to look at me, so I say much more calmly, "The fact that I was falsely accused and yet never given the chance to say the truth, no I was instead treated like an already convicted felon and chased after like one. Also no one hurts my Luce, no one not even me." I look master in the eye and he looks back in my direction, his eyes never meeting mine however. I sighed and then looked at him, him and his sad, old, little eyes that made me feel nothing but even more rage. I despised this poor excuse of a guild master and felt no pity for his retirement, it has long been over due.

"Ok what else and make it a less obvious question ok." I said as I took a seat on a chair that had been thrown on stage by Mira's failed assault and I looked at the guild members as they looked back at me in fear of what to ask.

Gildarts spoke up next and asked, "Lucy what are you doing? Everyone here thought he assaulted you, including yourself, so why have you helped him in this? And for how long?" Finally a good question that was still easy to answer.

"I knew the whole time there's no way Natsu would ever hurt me, and the eyes were different, they were cold and glossy, they didn't have the fire that burns in my husbands eyes and heart. It was obvious to me." She said as she threw an arm around me, everyone else was in shock. "And I thought what I was doing was obvious. I'm helping him out here. We are married after all and that is what married couples do." She said and gave me a quick kiss on the lips that I hungrily return.

"Gods, how much I missed being able to touch you and feel your warmth. Oh and your bed out here, has that changed, I haven't been here in five years so I wouldn't know. Is there anything else I missed?" I ask as she looks at me and begins to think to herself, lost in her own reverie before I say to everyone else "Any other questions? Ah yes Warrod what is it you want to know?"

"Is that Lucy in the dress a psychic projection or is it the real one?" He asked immediately cutting through our guise, man was he smart.

"It is a psychic projection, sorry for having to stoop to the level of Jellal, or should I say Siegrain? HAHAHA! Never thought we would use that again, huh Jellal? That your ruse you used years ago would come back to haunt you. HAHAHA! Its perfect! Thanks by the way, made all this a lot easier. She was able to be gone months at a time, leaving her projection behind with her keys so that no one would be able to tell who it really was it was the perfect plan." I said as then began to cackle evilly, Lucy smirking and joining me as well.

"Lucy! Is what he says true? Did you leave us so we wouldn't know what you were doing?" Loke asked looking extremely hurt and I felt bad for him.

"Yes. You never would have believed Natsu if he told us the truth so left my keys behind the first time, but you knew where I was after that, or were you lied to? Because we both know you guys can't see everything, you can only see a general location of where I am if I try and summon you, so the first time I left I trained with Paladin trying to master that new type of celestial magic. After that I brought everyone, it was up to the Spirit King whether or not to tell you the truth. Not me, sorry it went down like this I thought you knew the truth behind my sadness. I truly am sorry that you found out like this. Aquarius knew as did Virgo for sure, though she still glares at Natsu every once in a while… but still I must apologize to you. Gomenesai!" She says slightly bowing at him in sincere apology.

He sighed and said, "It may be hard to understand but I more or less understand why I was kept in the dark. It was necessary for your progress and for your sanity and health, wouldn't want me and Natsu fighting all day long while you tried and train. Now can you please let me go back so I can discuss this with the Spirit King?" He asked much more calmly than before and she nodded.

"It's ok Padre, Madre. You can let him out, if he does try anything I can always force him back with my new key…" She say and they nod and let him go.

He looks at me before smiling and saying, "I just wanted you to be happy and if he makes you happy then I have nothing to worry about."

"LOKE! Don't join them! Help us out of these cages!" Gray yelled at him.

He shook his head and said, "Sorry but I follow princess here's desires and if she says to leave then I'll leave, if she asks for help then I'll help, if she asks me to do something and I can do it, then I will do it. She is my master and I am glad she is. I missed this Lucy anyways. The other one created by your negligence was nothing but a shell, and luckily Natsu once more saved her and pulled her out. So I am indebted to him. I'm leaving Lucy so take care. Call me if you need me, Natsu don't blow up half of Magnolia ok? Bye!" He said laughing at the last part as we both smile at him and wave goodbye for the time being. I was glad that situation was resolved and we don't have to worry about him going rogue on us.

"So any other questions, oi! Padre, Madre, how much longer? I don't want to wait all day!" I ask and they look up at me.

"Oh we're ready we were just waiting for you guys to finish, are you ready or do you want more time?" Padre asks and I deadpan at him.

"How long have you been ready for?" I ask.

"Since the spirit was released, we wouldn't have been able to do so if we were still working on the arena as it requires all our attention to gather the power and necessary particles." Madre says as I sigh, they really were obedient people and loyal as well, almost to a fault.

I look back at the guild members and sigh again, and ask "Any other questions and hurry it up I'm already impatient as we all know." I say and begin to cackle at them with everyone else on my team joining in.

"Yes, Lucy and Natsu, how long have you been planning this? How long had you planned on hurting us this way?" Gildarts asks, trying to make me feel guilty towards him and the guild members.

It doesn't work and I simply smirk at him and say, "Well I would say that we met up again after about six or eight months and after apologizing to her and doing other things… we began to plan this and now here we are." I say as I stand up ready to begin the fun part of this plan.

"Hey when did you guys get 'married' if you even really did get married." Laxus asks and I smirk at him

"Yes we did, we got married about three years ago in a far away city called Boa, it was beautiful and was everything I could have wanted. I was so happy!" Lucy answered his question and pulled out her ring as I pulled out mine. We put them on and smiled at each other, happy that we can finally wear them every day and be open about it. It made me happy, and her probably even happier than I was, she always complained about not being able to wear it and now she could no problem. She had already called back her projection when she looked at me and said, "Natsu, we should probably get started on the second part of the plan, come on let's go."

"YOOOOOSSSHHH! I'm all fired up! Padre, Madre begin the arena building!" They nod and begin to mutter words in Spanish as stuff began moving outside. "Ok people here's what's gonna happen, these two are gonna make us an arena, and in that arena there will be five fields and one of us on each field, the game is simple. Defeat us and win, we will surrender ourselves to the council and accept our punishment. However should we win we get to leave in peace and you cannot follow us for a year, at which point you may try again. So choose those who will fight and let the games begin!" I say as people begin volunteering themselves to fight. After everyone who wishes to partake declares so we have Jura, Gildarts, Gray, Juvia, Cana, Elfman, Mira, Erza, Jellal, Gajeel, Laxus, Warrod, Pantherlily, and Wendy. I nod at the choices and say, "Each of you can either choose to fight alone or in groups, just know that your decision on who to fight is final, now I will allow you guys an hour to choose so better get choosing we'll be in the arena waiting" I say as we leave them to decide who will crush them, they don't stand a chance no matter what.
