The Next Morning (Natsu POV)

I wake up and immediately want to go back to sleep, 'This is the damn comfiest mattress in the world. I'm glad I took it with me.' I check the clock lacrima and see that it is around ten in the morning and look to see Lucy dead asleep. 'Huh? She's still asleep? She's usually up, if not even already writing at this time. No wonder it's so late, she usually wakes me up in the best way possible in the morning but she's still asleep. I should wake her up we have some distance to cover.'

"Hey Luce, wake up, it's really late already." Instead of her slapping me for trying to wake her or her jolting awake, she simply cuddles into me more and buries herself in the covers more. She mumbles something along the lines of letting her fucking sleep and I knew something was wrong. She never was this rude after sex, she was usually energetic and bubbly, and slightly aroused too but she would never admit it. "Luce, are you okay? Did we go too hard last night?"

I look at her face as she blushes a bit and stutters, "N-n-n-no…" She finally begins to get up and looks at me and I see her face, she looks completely drained and I grab her shoulders and stare into her eyes intently. She sighs knowing the jig's up and she says, "I'm really tired from my battle…"

"Why, you barely went hard and finished before I did. What else happened?" I say and continue to look at her.

"I… I used Celestial Beam: TD." I admitted and my eyes grew wide in understanding of what that meant and who she had used it on.

"WHAT?! That's extremely dangerous Luce! You know what Arthur said, you should never use that variation! Did you release it yet?" I asked very concerned and already knew the answer to my question.

"No. I haven't yet." She said and I wasn't surprised at all. If she had she wouldn't be dead tired.

I sigh and yell out, "Gōsuto! Come here please!"

Lucy looks at me and punches my arm, saying, "Baka! I can't release it in there! Lumen Historie is in there! We don't know what it'll do if I release it in there!"

I sigh as Gōsuto walks in, asking, "You need somethin' Boss?"

"Yes. You can create multiple dimensions with shadows correct?" I asked.

He nods his head saying, "Yeah, why? Need another dimension to dump something into? So long as it's not open long it should be fine, it does drain my magic however, so anything over a week would be bad for me."

I nod and look at Lucy and say, "See, it'll be fine. Now get ready to release TD and Gōsuto open up a dimension. It'll need to be open until we reach home, then you can release it." They both nod and get into position.

"Celestial Beam: TD! Release!" Lucy yells and magic flows from her hand and into Gōsuto's shadow dimension. Inside a thud is heard and I look and see nothing went wrong, and then see Lucy fall down. I rush to her side, worried. "It's ok Natsu. I'm just exhausted, releasing it uses more magic than casting it so it's only gonna be temporary, especially after last night."

"Oh, yeah I heard you guys. Man you are loud moaners. Kekekekeke!" Gōsuto said as he turned and left waving at two tomatoes, one blonde haired the other pink haired.

"SHUT UP!" I yell as I hear him laughing and shut the door. I look at Lucy and see she is extremely red but exhausted as well and I sigh, saying, "You're in no condition to travel. The two of us will stay behind a day so you can rest, the others will go on ahead, and no 'buts'! This is final." I say and she weakly nods and goes back to sleep, snoring lightly and I can't help but smirk at her and wonder, 'How did I get so lucky to marry the most beautiful person in the world?' I lean down and kiss her forehead and go into the hallway to tell the others to go on ahead of us, but they are already outside waiting. "Oh, eavesdropping are we?"

"No, just waiting for your lazy asses. Come on! We got news last night that a friend of ours is at the home base and he brought our son! We need to go!" Nena says and I feel bad about making them wait so long to hear this.

"Oh, sorry. Listen Luce's not feeling too well so we are gonna hang back a day and let her rest, but you guys are gonna go ahead. So go, skedaddle! Scoot!" I say and immediately Nena and Esoj are gone, Gōsuto nods soon after and follows after them. I turn around and walk back into the room and lie down next to Lucy and we begin cuddling. "Best bed ever. Goodnight Luce." She giggles a bit and buries herself in my arms and begins snoring again. I smile and kiss her head and begin to drift back to sleep. Before I do I wonder to myself, 'You know I didn't see the guys who retired at the wedding, wonder where they were? And how is the guild holding up, wait? Why do I care?' as I finish my thoughts I drift to sleep and let my dreams be filled of Lucy, all of which were replays of last night or ways last night could have been different.

(POV Change to Macao)

I walk home after a much longer than anticipated journey to get the certifications to teach, "They are going to kill us for missing the wedding you know." Wakaba says and I nod as our group of six do the same. While Warren and Max weren't going to be teachers, they had come along to get a mini-vacation before the very long one we had planned.

"Yeah, I hope nobody died while we were gone. That would be a shame, am I right?" I joked and we all laughed, as no one in the guild of any importance had died in years, not since Yury Dreyar.

"Yeah, like that'll ever happen, Kami is with them all the time. Death could never touch them, at least not so suddenly." Max added and we all had to nod, lady luck was always with Fairy Tail.

We walk into town, passing the southern gate and are immediately greeted by Doranbolt, "WHERE WERE YOU GUYS?!" He asks and we all look at him like he's crazy.

"Oi, calm down man. Where's the fire?" I ask and we all become very tense at the look he gives us.

"So, you don't know yet… Come to the guild. Now." He says seriously and we grab hold of him as he uses his magic and teleports us there.

We immediately all gasp as we see the state the guild's in, the doors are open, people are running around like chickens with their heads cut off, Porlyusica is there, and there are magic enforcement officer as well. "WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED?!" We all yell simultaneously and Doranbolt simply sighs and motions us to follow him.

We do and enter the guild and see Lamia Scale all there, and I mean the entire guild is here. I see the new chairman of the council there as well and I see others there as well. I look to the upstairs area and see many doctors along with Porlyusica there and they are all scurrying about like mice. He brings over to the few guild members that I see, which are the exceeds and Levy. They see us and immediately Levy gets up and smacks the person in front of the group in the face, which is me. "WHERE HAVE YOU IDIOTS BEEN?! DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEAS WHAT'S HAPPENED HERE?!" She yelled as we all shook our heads and looked at her quizzically. She stepped back a bit now as I rubbed my cheek as she sighs and tells the story.

"Ok, so the wedding began like normal, and it went well all the way to the very end. Then as the wedding ended, and I mean just ended, the group that had been terrorizing us appeared and crashed it. Then they took the couple hostage and Lisanna as well." At the mention of Lisanna as a hostage we all looked at her questioningly and I was about to say something before Levy stopped me and continued, "They took Lisanna and told her to tell everyone the truth of what happened five years ago. So she did and it turns out she was the one who attacked Lucy five years ago not Natsu as she got jealous that they were secretly going out." At the last part we deadpanned and looked at her in shock, unable to move or speak. "Yes it's true, but then they let her go, but when they did someone else stepped out and then… then he executed her gruesomely." She struggled to say the last part and we all looked like ghosts, our faces paling and our hearts dropping, but still there was more, "The person who did it… it was Natsu…"

"WHAT?!" We all yelled out so loud that even Natsu probably heard us.

(POV Change back to Natsu)

"Huh… what was that" I say between yawns now awake, "I swore I heard a loud what?"

"Go back to sleep Natsu, I'm still tired and if you behave we'll have sex tonight." I was asleep in a second.

(POV Change back to Macao)

She nodded and continued, 'What? There's more?' "Then Elfman and Mira attacked him, but were stopped and sent flying by… Lucy." We all went as rigid as rocks and looked at her in disbelief. "Yes, that is also true, then they explained that it was indeed because we drove Natsu away that they did this to us. It turns out Lucy had been using a psychic projection to relay information to them and had been against us for a while. Then Natsu announced that there would be five battles; and that if we won, they would surrender themselves to the council or if they won they would simply be allowed to leave."

"So we won right? That's why the council people are here, right?" Droy asked, but Levy simply shook her head.

"No… they beat all of the fighters we sent thoroughly, that's why the doctors are here. We couldn't do enough to help them… They were in pretty bad shape after the battles." She said and we looked at her in shock, never before had Fairy Tail been trounced so easily as she said they were. Sure after a long battle maybe, but not since we all split up and there was just us there running the guild, all the losers, were we beaten like this and I don't even consider those years to be of any significance or even as truly Fairy Tail really. That Fairy Tail was a fake Fairy Tail.

"But no one died right?" Jet asked the question that seemed to be something we never would have believed before.

Levy hesitated and looked away, and our faces somehow went even more pale, see through almost we had lost so much color. "No, no way. Who?" Wakaba asked as his pipe had almost fallen out of his mouth now.

Levy looked at us and we saw tears falling from her eyes as she choked out, "Warrod… J-Ju-Juvi-vi-via… and-and…"

She tried her best to finish, but failed and was saved by Doranbolt who came and just about killed me from the sadness of it all as he said, "And master. Master Makarov, Juvia, and Warrod were killed." I looked at him as my jaw hung open and I heard a thud as Jet and Droy hit the floor, and tears falling as Max and Warren were now crying, and the tink sound of Wakaba's pipe hitting the ground, and I could all of our hearts shattering at the same time.

"Yes, it's true…" He said as tears stained his eyes as well. He had been taken in by the man who's guild he had wished to disband and treated like he was a son immediately. He had done similar things for everyone, he had opened his home aka the guild and took in anyone who needed a home and made them feel like his children, he was like a father to us all and well, to me and Wakaba, he was like an older brother really since he wasn't that much older than us.

I feel tears streaming out of my eyes as finally I manage words, "What…" and I could manage nothing else as I simply stared at the people gathered before us as Romeo walked down from the second floor.

He saw me and immediately gave me a hug, his tears now joining mine. I then feel everyone begin to hug me and Romeo and soon enough all the remaining guild members who are actually conscious are in this hug, letting the emotions flow out of them as we all attempted to comfort one another, but were failing miserably. The guild as we knew it was dead, now all that was left was this shell we were no longer apart of, and that oddly enough was somewhat comforting. I guess since I won't have to deal with this every day and deal with the sadness on a consistent basis. At least there was that small comfort.
