"a few days after the whole guild war, everything started to settle down as Phantom lord was disbanned and Jose was stripped of his title as a wizard saint, and after that the ruin soldiers came and started interrogating all of us on the whole incident. thankfully, none of us got arrested at all for the incident and we were all safe from any charges"
Lucy writes down a letter as her quill pen scribbles down her words in her mind on the piece of paper. She finished the letter and stamped a wax seal on it.
Lucy sighs before she looks outside and spotted a bird feeding her young one.
"after all this time, he decided to want me back?"Lucy thought as she had a flashback of her father
"I don't believe it at all" Lucy said as she stands up from her seat. Lucy went to pack her things up as she also takes a few jewels from her savings.
meanwhile at Fairy Tail, the guild is getting rebuilted as everyone is working hard on rebuilding the guild, Erza was giving everyone orders while wearing a worker's uniform as she is a slave driver.
"careful with that log, Nab!" "Alright guys! Lower it slowly!" "Watch that log Nab!" "No! Put it in that pile!" "I need two more over here!" Shouts were heard as everyone worked
"heave-ho!" Gray and Elfman pulled on a rope that was carrying a pile of wood wrapped around with the rope.
At the bar were Mira and Lisanna with the twins. Haruka was playing with her pink dragon doll while Haruo was reading a children's picture book.
"alright guys! It's break time!" Mira shouted from the bottom of her lungs to them as she started carrying up trays with refreshments on them as Lisanna did the same
Everyone halted what they were doing as they took a breather for a rest
"haaa, I'm pooped!" Gray flop down as he was exhausted
"a man has never been this tired before" Elfman said as he was sweating all over
"here you go, Elf-niichan" Lisanna came and offered the two refreshments
"thanks, Lisanna" Elfman said as he took two mugs from Lisanna who smiled and then went off to give more to the others.
"where's Natsu?" Elfman asked Gray while giving him one of the mugs
"at the Sakura Caves with Kiara and the wyverns" Gray said to him as he took a big gulp from the mug. They then heard wing flaps coming from above as they see Flake and Ash flying in as they were carrying crates in their claws
"Ash?" The two wyverns then landed as Kiara came jumping down from Ash's head and onto Gray's
"Kiara?" Gray looked at the little Pop Fox and spotted a note attached to her front paw. He took it and opened it as it revealed to be a letter from Natsu.
"take the meal in the crates while giving the ones in the pink and blue boxes to my kids. P.S. ask Gramps to give the two newcomers their marks"
Gray reads the letter as he looks to see two little baby wyverns on Flake's back as Ash was nuzzling his snout to them. He sighs with a smile as he hollered for everyone to come and take the meal in the crates
Natsu was resting his body as he leans against the Sakura trees. Chitetsu was beside him as the talking katana is taking his usual Sake bath in the wooden bucket
"this is truly the best life for a katana such as myself" said Chitetsu as the katana's blade sucked in all of the sake in the bucket to the last drop.
Natsu looks at the ring on his left ring finger as he thought of his dream encounter with Ikaruga, just reminiscing. He squinted his eyes before he sighs.
The man soon hears a commotion coming from the entrance of the caves as he looks to see Haruka and Haruo with Kiara running into the Sakura cave in a haste.
"Papa!" They screamed as they run to him
"what's wrong?" Natsu asked them while raising an eyebrow
"Lucy-neechan left the guild and said that she went home!" They exclaimed to him as Haruka gave him a letter with Lucy's hand writing on it
"we need to go and get her back!" Haruo said in a hurry. Natsu reads the letter before he nodded as he stands up.
"guard the place while we're gone, Chitetsu" Natsu told Chitetsu as he walked out of the cave with his twins and Kiara, leaving Chitetsu behind in the Sakura Caves.
"right right, leave the cursed sword behind"said Chitetsu as he just stayed in his wooden bucket before the demonic skeletal shadow appeared and its eyes enlarges while looking to the side
"how long do you intend to stand there?"Chitetsu spoke as a figure appeared from the cave's entrance
Lucy came back to her old home as all of the servants there welcomed her back
She then was dressed in red dress and went into her father's office
"father" She called out as she was face to face with a man in his late 40's and he was wearing a suit with blond hair combed back
"I have returned home" Lucy spoke in a well polite manner
"so you came back, Lucy" Jude spoke to her as he turns to look at her
"I assume you are well aware of what you have done?" Jude said to her as Lucy nodded
"good, you learned that you were trying to live in two different worlds" Jude turns to look at his window
He then started talking about the arranged marriage with a rich marriage he prepared for her, so that it would help the Hearfillia family, Lucy retorted back to him as she rips apart her dress in front of him
"I never wanted the money, the fancy dresses nor the luxurious home" Lucy said to him as she raised up her right hand up and showed him the Fairy Tail guild mark to him
"all I ever wanted was a family, that's all I ever wanted" Lucy said with a smile "if Mama was still here, she would encourage me to do what I loved rather than stop me"
A transparent figure of Lucy's deceased mother, Layla appeared beside her with a smile to Jude
"Layla…." Jude muttered out in shock to seeing his passed away wife
Lucy then turns around and bid farewell to her father forever
After that she went to the cemetery where her mother's grave was at
"Mama…." Lucy looks to the name plate on the cemetery with a sad smile on her
"Lucy/-neechan!" Screams were heard behind her as she turns around and sees everyone running towards her
Haruka and Haruo jet towards Lucy as they hugged her while crying
Gray started rambling about how Lucy doesn't need to go back home and Lucy rambled back on how this was all a misunderstanding to them
"where's Natsu?" Lucy asked while still hugging Haruka and Haruo
Gray and Erza looks around and realized that the pink hair man was not there with them
Jude who was looking at Lucy and her friends from his office's window had a small smile on him
"at least she has great friends to look after her" He spoke as he turns around to Natsu who was in the office with him
"considering she's Layla-san's daughter, she will be a great wizard like her mother" Natsu said with a small smile
"I'll be counting on you to keep her safe, Daimou-dono" Jude said with a small bow to him
"yeah" Natsu said as he turns around "she'll be safe"
Natsu then walks out of the office with Jude sighing a bit as he sits back down on his chair
Everyone was riding back to the guild on Ash as the wyvern soared to the air
"you really had us scared back there" Gray said to Lucy who was patting her hand on Haruka's and Haruo's head as they were sleeping on her lap
"sorry" Lucy replied to him as she looks down to the twins
"Haruka and Haruo were crying waterfalls when they thought of you leaving" Erza said as Haruka snuggled in her sleep
"I'm really sorry, you two" Lucy said as she caressed the twin's heads
"you can apologize to them by taking them to the kid's park tomorrow" Natsu said as he sat on Ash's head
"yeah" Lucy said with a smile as Natsu smiled back as Ash growled as well
"hey Ash, what are you're kids' names?" Gray asked the wyvern as Ash lets out a low grumble for a few seconds as he also added in another growl
"Fuyu and Haru" Natsu said as he translated what the wyvern was speaking about
They all then started talking about the things about the day with Lucy as she looks to the sky as it was orange from the setting sun
""to Mama in heaven, I have great friends and a great family with me in Fairy Tail so don't worry about me and please keep looking at our adventure from above"
"Fairy Tail really is the best!" Lucy said with a big grin as Ash flied off back to Magnolia
That's a wrap!
Bye bye
