Chapter 3
Natsu and Gray looked all over Balsam Village and couldn't find Lucy. Natsu started to head in the direction of where the dark guild had been.
"Where are you going? We need to get a lacrima and contact gramps!" Gray shouted. Natsu just kept walking, Gray ran and stood in front of Natsu. "We need to stick together right now Natsu. We don't know if someone kidnapped Lucy and could possibly still be around to get us too!"
Natsu lowered his head and said, "Fine, then come with me to the dark guild first, and then we will contact gramps. I want to see if I can find her scent." Gray nodded and they both ran to where the fought the dark guild.
"How in the hell can her scent just be gone?" Natsu growled. "Let's get back to town and call gramps. We are going to need help finding her." Please, be okay Luce! Natsu thought as they ran back to the village.
At Fairy Tail…
Master Makarov was in his office working on paperwork. Grumbling about how destructive some of his brats where. He was getting ready to get up and go get something to eat when his lacrima went off. He sighed thinking his work is never done.
"Natsu and Gray is everything alright? Did you two cause more destruction on your mission?" he asked.
"Master, we think Lucy has been kidnapped by the dark guild we had taken out. We think there is a possibility that there are more members than we thought." Gray stated. Makarov paled from hearing that Lucy had been kidnapped. He asked them to explain everything that happened until they realized she had been kidnapped. By the time he had heard everything he was disappointed with Gray and Natsu.
"I want you two to stay at your hotel until I can get a group out there to help search." Makarov said, they nodded their heads and their shoulders slumped with guilt. Makarov put the lacrima down, and slowly made his way out of the office. He looked around to see who he could send to try and help find Lucy.
"I need the Raijinshuu and Gajeel in my office NOW!" Makarov turned around and went back into his office, sitting on his desk waiting for the brats to enter the office. Once they were all in there Laxus was the one to ask why they had been called in. All of them wondering why Makarov looked so gloomy.
"I need you all to go to Balsam Village and meet up with Natsu and Gray. They have just contacted me, and said that Lucy has been kidnapped. They have looked every where in the village and around where the guild was, and have found no trace. But you are not to mention this to anyone else in the guild." Makarov said.
"How did Bunny-girl get kidnapped in the first place?" Gajeel asked. Makarov sighed and explained to them what he had been told. To say the least none of the mages in the office where happy, and wanted to beat Natsu and Gray to a bloody pulp. They all got up to head to the train station.
"Gramps we will contact you when we get there, and if we find anything on where Blondie was taken." Laxus said. Makarov nodded, and then dropped his head into his hands when the door closed. Please children, bring Lucy home to us.
With Natsu and Gray
(Time jump a couple hours.)
The guys paced around in the hotel room, hoping that help would come soon. Both felt horrible for Lucy being taken, that they couldn't even argue with each other. When a knock was heard they both ran to the door to see the Raijinshuu and Gajeel standing there. They entered the room, and shrunk back at the glares they were receiving.
"Okay master told us what happened. Where was the last place you guys seen Lucy?" Freed asked.
"We were on the outskirts of the town, and we started arguing, Lucy had been walking right behind us, and stopped when we had started fighting. When we didn't hear her yelling at us to stop fighting and causing damage, we thought she had gone to the mayor's place to get the reward." Gray said.
"Okay, lead us to where the dark guild was and we will start from there, with three dragon slayers we have to pick up a trail or something." Laxus said. I think it will be time to break up Team Natsu, they are too destructive and Blondie keeps getting hurt or kidnapped.
"I agree Laxus, starting close to where she was taken would be the best. I will check to see if there are any runes possibly masking where they are hiding." Freed stated. Heading out of the hotel and towards the dark guild, with everyone else. Everyone was hoping that their Nakama was unharmed. Freed felt hot rage flow through him, he had a crush on her and the only one who knew was Laxus. Please be okay, Lucy.
They made it to the dark guild, and split into two groups, the Raijinshuu and Gajeel, Natsu and Gray. They searched the building, and the grounds around the guild, going about a mile in each direction. None of the dragon slayers could pick up Lucy's scent, it was like she was never there at all. Freed didn't sense any runes either. They decided to go back to the hotel and contact Gramps.
"Laxus, have you found Lucy?"
"No, none of us could pick up her scent. Freed said there were no runes either. How were they able to mask their scents?"
"I have heard of mages that can mask their scent. I will contact my friend at the magic council and see if they know of any mages that have this ability." Laxus nodded.
"Gramps, let him know that this is urgent."
"I will my boy. I want you all to come back to the guild. We will have to inform everyone, and when I hear anything, we will start a bigger search."
"Okay Gramps, we are heading back." Laxus ended the call and went to tell everyone that they needed to head back to the guild until Gramps heard from his friend on the council. Everyone was quiet on the way back to the guild.
