Chapter 2: Memory of Lost Parents

(Que Fairy Tail OP)

"Welcome to Fairy Tail!" announced Natsu as he, Cynthia, Happy, and Lucy stood before the guild hall.

Cynthia's eyes glowed with joy standing before the guild of her dreams. Instead of just opening the door normally, he kicked it open for the whole guild to hear.

"We made it back alive!" shouted Natsu.

"We're home." announced Happy.

As Natsu pummeled a guy into a corner, Cynthia and Lucy took in the sight before them of all the new faces. Soon, it devolved into a brawl before them. Cynthia hid herself with her Illusion magic, leaving Lucy in the alone in the open. However, she made a smile at the fighting spirit before her.

'This guild just turned to an 11/10.' thought Lucy.

Natsu wasn't the only "weird" one in the guild. There was Gray Fullbuster, who was only in his shorts and had this bandage around his right arm. At a bar was a woman with an unrivaled thirst for alcohol as she chugged a whole barrel. Then a big build of a man named Elfman who was easily beaten from a single punch from both Gray and Natsu. The only bad side was this creepy stare Lucy was receiving from a "lover boy" in a corner.

"Hi there, are you new?" Lucy turned around to find the person in this guild she was most looking forward to meeting: Mira Strauss, an innocent, slender woman in a maroon dress and topped with white hair. Most people knew her from the Sorcerer Magazine, but that wasn't what caught Lucy. It was Mira's legendary transformation Satan Soul that caught the Demon Slayer's attention. This attitude from Mira made Lucy raise an eyebrow.

"Huh, what is it?" asked Mira.

"Aren't you Mira Strauss?" said Lucy, "I was expecting someone more of a she-devil."

Mira laughed. "Don't judge a book by its cover."

The brawl grew so hectic that Lucy couldn't keep track. First, Mira disappeared in a blur, Gray asked for pants which Lucy instinctively punched him away for, and someone named Loke picked her up and touched her behind. Before Lucy could give the bastard for touching her, he was immediately gone and was dropped to the floor. Being pushed around like this got on Lucy's nerves and her crimson brand started to grow the demon skin up her arm. Her eyes flashed pink with rage.

The guild paused in a stand-off as everyone prepared to unleash their magic. The air chilled in Gray's Maker magic, heated by Natsu's flames, and the pressure spiked under the awakening of other powers.

"I suggest you knock it off."

"Oh yeah, says who?!"

"You punks can be a real nuisance."

"I'm ready to take you all on."

"RAAAUUGH!" roared Lucy as she unleashed her magic. The guild froze feeling another magic power of heat that rivaled Natsu's but it was so torrid it bit at their souls. The weaker members cowered, saying stuff like, "The Northern Devil!". Gold fire burned around Lucy like a thick aura and her eyes flashed pink through its veil terrifying all they looked over. The flames simmered to a simple glow around Lucy to resemble Natsu's power, but her demon skin was something from a frightening myth.

"What the heck kind of magic is that?!" exclaimed Elfman.

"It kinda of feels like Natsu's, but..." said Cana.

"Anyone want a piece of me?!" roared Lucy, her voice more howling like a ghost,"I dare you."

"Would you fools stop bickering like children?!" A giant of a man standing 15 meters tall appeared in front of Lucy. She smiled welcoming the challenger, and her right fist ignited in gold fire ready for a good fight. Suddenly, Cynthia dispelled her Illusion magic and stopped Lucy.

"Woah, woah, woah." exclaimed Cynthia, all eyes on her via her magical appearance, "You don't want to start a fight with the master, do you?"

Lucy went wide-eyed and stared up at the looming giant. "That's Fairy Tail's guild master?!"

"I'm sorry, master." said Mira, "I didn't recognize you were here."

"Guess I win." cried Natsu before he was stepped on by the master.

Before Lucy's eyes, the master shrank down to a dwarf of a man in his late 70s dressed in orange. His demeanor changed to a kindly greeting.

"Nice to meet you, recruits." greeted the master, "I'm Master Makarov of Fairy Tail. And you are?"

"My name is Lucy Heartfilia." greeted Lucy with proper manners, "Forgive me for my attitude a moment ago."

"Well you certainly surprised me a little with that magic of yours." said Makarov, "I was certain that Natsu was the only one to retain that kind of magic at all. And who are..."

Makarov suddenly paused looking at Cynthia, like he was looking at a ghost.

"Is something wrong, master?" asked Cynthia.

"No, no." said Makarov, regaining composure, "Who are you?"

"My name is Cynthia Vermillion, a Celestial and Illusionary mage." Cynthia introduced.

"Vermillion..." mumbled Makarov in shock, "Bah, never mind! Mira, give these two their stamps."

Mira gave Lucy the Fairy Tail tattoo, red as her brand, on her right hand. Cynthia went for gold on her left cheek. Makarov jumped to a balcony on the second floor, hitting a bump on the way. He held a pile of paper in his hands with a mean look.

"You kids have done it again." cried Makarov, "The Magic Council is furious with me. This is the most paper work they've given me yet. However..."

Makarov went on a long speech about magic and the ways of using magic. Much of it Lucy could agree with, and Cynthia seemed to cherish every word the master said. Admittedly, there was some in Makarov's words where Lucy had a counterpoint to, but she didn't voice her opinion.

When the master was done, most of the guild crowded around Lucy to ask about her power. Such questions included:

"Do you use the same magic as Salamander's?"

"Aren't you the Northern Devil I've heard rumors about?"

"Were you and Natsu raised by Igneel?"

Meanwhile, Natsu looked at the request board to find a quest to make money off of. A boy named Romeo bursted through the door, shouting if his father will arrive. The boy's distress caught Lucy and Natsu's attention.

"When is Dad coming back?" asked Romeo.

"You're starting to get on my nerves boy." said Makarov, drinking a glass of beer, "You're father is a wizard. He can take care of himself."

"But he said he'd be back in three days." said Romeo, "Mt. Hakobae isn't far from here. So why hasn't anyone gone out to look for him?"

"Listen, you're old man's a wizard who can take care of himself." said Makarov, raising his voice, "Now go home, have some milk and cookies, and wait!"

Makarov got himself delivered a punch from Romeo as he ran out the doors crying. Some of the guild members mumbled some comments, but none so heart-lifting.

Lucy was quiet. The boy's distress made her dig through some harsh memories. A mother who died at such a young age in her childhood, and a father Lucy never knew how much she loved till he was gone right in front of her. She knew better than anyone of Romeo's love for his father, and how much it meant to come home.

Natsu felt the same way as he made a whole in the request board. He left the hall, most likely after Romeo to give him support. Right before the guild settled to its normal state, Lucy also snapped a little as she heated the area around her so hot she burned the wooden floor at her feet. Lucy then left the guild after Romeo to console him, then find his father.

"Woah." said Cynthia.

"Yeah." said Mira, "Your friend must have quite the history of loss like Natsu to snap like that. Wonder if she had an adoptive parent too that left?"

"No, she didn't." Cynthia clarified flatly, then headed off to follow Lucy with Happy, "Lucy's loss... was very painful."


"Ugh," groaned Natsu as he, Lucy, Cynthia, and Happy rode on a cart, "why'd you two come along?"

"Just because." groaned Lucy, hissing in pain from all the cramps in her body, "When can we get off this hell ride."

"So Lucy can't deal with vehicles either?" said Happy.

"Yeah." answered Cynthia, "She doesn't get motion sickness, but the second she gets on any moving object her body just goes haywire and gets all these cramps."

"Motion sickness or cramps?" said Happy, "Dang, I don't know who to feel bad for."

"Shut up!" groaned Lucy/Natsu.

Finally, the cart stopped moving. Cynthia thought that the journey to the mountain would've taken longer than this.

"Huh, guess we're there." said Happy.

Simultaneously, Lucy and Natsu got to their feet and yelled in ecstasy, "Alright, no more moving."

The catch was that the driver couldn't afford to move forward. The gang found themselves on a hiking path on a mountain in the middle of a blizzard. They had no choice but to trek through it on foot.

"Cynthia, stay close to me." said Lucy, her voice almost drowned by the howl of the wind. Cynthia hid under Lucy's cloak to escape the harsh chill winds. Natsu and Lucy then heated up their bodies to create a small heatwave around them.

"You're so toasty." moaned Cynthia, wrapping her arms around Lucy.

"He." Lucy responded, "Just don't get lagged behind, alright?"

Lucy wasn't here to save Macao blind. She knew that the guy was here to hunt a vulcan, an eleven foot tall hulk of a monkey. That thing could attack from anywhere, and even Lucy's vision couldn't pierce through the snow. And worse...

"Macao!" called Natsu at the top of his lungs, "Where are you?!"

'Shit.' thought Lucy, 'He's gonna give away our position.'

Unsurprising, a vulcan ambushed Natsu from above. He dodged it at last second, but then the vulcan turned his sights on Lucy.

"Pretty woman." said the vulcan.

Lucy sighed. The vulcan was basically a giant perve who wouldn't take no for an answer. The vulcan wanted to knock her out with a clean punch, but even his raw strength faltered at Lucy's. She deflected the vulcan's opener and countered with a fire-powered jab to its chest. He went for a more powerful punch. This time Lucy swayed to the side, then thrusted her elbow into his back for a follow-up. But the vulcan smiled as he had another well-endowed woman wrapped in his tail.

Lucy screeched in terror, "CYNTHIA!"

Lucy couldn't follow the vulcan through the thick of the blizzard. In the wake of her failure, Lucy smashed the ground at her feet in rage.

"Fucking," cursed Lucy, "dammit."

Natsu held her arms from the next punch in the ground.

"Don't worry." said Natsu, "We'll find her. I've got a scent on the bastard."

(Time-Skip)

Lucy and Natsu charged through the vulcan's ice cave. They found Cynthia standing her ground with one of the summoned spirits, Taurus. However, Natsu attacked Taurus instead of the vulcan.

"One down." said Natsu, "One to go."

"Why you-" snarled Lucy, "That wasn't a monster, you dumbass. That was my-Cynthia's Celestial spirit."

"You there." Natsu called the vulcan, "Show me where Macao is."

The vulcan pointed to a hole in the wall. When Natsu poked his head out, the vulcan kicked him out to fall down the mountain. Cynthia was in complete shock, but Lucy just sighed.

"Outwitted by a giant monkey." grumbled Lucy, "That fucking idiot."

Lucy stepped up to the fight. As her demon skin crawled up her body, the heat around her became torrid. Her fists ignited in gold fire.

"Here's what going to happen." growled Lucy, cracking her knuckles, "You're going to tell me where Macao is. And I'm going to beat the ever living shit out of you. Whichever come first or second."

The vulcan jumped into the air to swing down a hammering arm. Lucy only needed one arm to block it, even as the ground crumbled from the weight of the force. Lucy countered with a fire punch to the gut, sending the vulcan bouncing all over the place. However, the wake of Lucy's heat and power were causing the cave to melt. If Lucy didn't manage her punches, she would make icicles rain down on Cynthia.

'Shit.' thought Lucy, 'I can't fight like this. Not at-'

The vulcan acted on that moment of hesitation, and swiped a bulky arm that sent Lucy across the floor. Next, the vulcan grabbed Taurus' axe and swung it down upon the unready Demon Slayer. At last second, the axe was stopped before impact, and Lucy gasped finding Natsu over her holding the axe back.

"Natsu!" cried Lucy, "Wait, how the hell did you get up here?"

"Happy of course." said Natsu. Lucy could feel the amazing heat from his hands melt the axe. She didn't know why, but the power Natsu showed made her heart quicken. Natsu ate the melted pellets of metal and spat them back at the vulcan. "You listen up. I consider everyone in the Fairy Tail guild my friend."

Natsu kicked the vulcan away with a fire-powered kick and continued, "Whether it's Gramps or Mira, or even those annoying jerks Gray and Elfman. Happy, and Lucy too. They're all my friends."

Lucy gasped at the last sentence. "He considers me a friend." Those words somehow made her heart beat faster. When the vulcan got close, Natsu rammed his foot into the vulcan's gut and sent him flying.

"Which is why I ain't leaving without Macao." Natsu roared.

Icicles rained down from the ceiling. The vulcan smashed the ground and the shock sent the icicles shooting at his enemies. Lucy moved in reflex to make herself a shield for Cynthia.

Natsu ran through the hail of icicles after the vulcan. His eyes became more dragon-like as he ascended in the air with fire roaring in his wake.

"Fire Dragon's Iron Fist."

With that attack, Natsu defeated the vulcan. The gang surrounded him then were taken off when the vulcan suddenly transformed into Macao. Happy explained that a vulcan must've taken Macao's body in the first place. They waited for the pyromancer to wake up. When Macao stirred, they were relieved.

"Natsu." Macao groaned, "I'm so pathetic-"

Suddenly, Lucy slapped Macao across the face and pulled him by the collar of his jacket. Cynthia, Happy, and Natsu were in shock.

"You are." Lucy shouted, "Don't fucking ever make your kid worry about you like that. Next time when you go on a job, make sure you give him the confidence that you will get back, alright?"

Natsu and Happy were caught off by this new side in Lucy. Even Cynthia has rarely seen Lucy like this. Lucy calmed down, and suddenly tears were being shed as memories of her own loss came back.

"You're very luck, Macao," said Lucy with a shaky smile, "to have a son who loves his father so much. He'd rather punch the master for your sake above all else."

"Romeo did what?!" exclaimed Macao, then calmed down, "Come on, we gotta head back to the guild."


They found Romeo alone when they brought Macao. Instantly, the boy was in tears as he jumped to his father. Cynthia started to cry at the sight of father and son reunited. Lucy also felt like shedding more of her tears. Nothing made her more happy than the bond between father and son. Or rather parent and offspring.

On the way back to the guild, Natsu asked Lucy, "Tell me Lucy. What happened to your parents?"

Lucy would rather keep her past a secret, but there was something about Natsu that made her open up like a book. She gladly answered with a down look.

"Despite what you might think," said Lucy, "I had real parents. Though my mom died when I was young, my father was there to raise me. But I took him for granted. On that day I lost him, I never realized how much he loved me. I regret the days that I couldn't love him back."

Lucy would've collapsed to her knees reliving the horrible past, but Natsu suddenly embraced her and gave her support. Lucy felt her heart beat with a soothing rhythm as her body nuzzled against the Dragon Slayer's heat. Her hand unconsciously wrapped around Natsu's shoulder, and she realized she was crying.

"You don't have to be alone anymore." soothed Natsu, "Fairy Tail will always be there - as your family."

Cynthia watched with a smile and leaned Happy's ear. She whispered, "They liiiiike each other."


Skipping the Everlue Arc and going straight into Lullabye.
