The Golden Fairy

Chapter 13 (Phantom Lord Arc): Counterattack

Fairy Tail Guild... Magnolia.. Kingdom of Fiore.. July 26th, X784.. Late Afternoon..

The Saiyan God along with the Celestial Mage arrived to the basement of the guild via Instant Transmission, where they could see most of the guild mates helping each other wrapping themselves with bandages from the scratches that they got against Phantom Lord. However, they all stopped when they noticed Goku's and Lucy's presence..

"Goku! Lucy! You guys are back!" exclaimed Nab with a happy expression as he was wrapped up by bandages..

"See, I told you guys that Goku was going to bring Lucy back!" said Natsu with a grin on his face, after all he was happy that his friends were safe and sound..

"Nobody was doubting your word Natsu, after all Goku is the strongest member of the guild currently so he would no doubt be able to rescue Lucy.." responded Ur casually as she made her way towards where Goku was standing next to Lucy, who didn't want to separated herself from him which was noticed by the Ice-maker master but decided to point it out "I assume that the rescuing mission went without any issues huh?"

"Yep! I didn't even encounter the Guild Master of Phantom Lord since Lucy-chan was already falling from where she was captured so I rescued her from crashing into the ground.." explained the Saiyan God neutrally towards Ur who nodded at his explanation "So where's Erza-chan and Mira-chan? I don't see them around..?"

"Mira needed to contact the other S-Class Mages from our guild to support us in this war and Erza went to take a shower to de-stress herself.." explained Gray as he also made his way to where Goku was standing along with the others.. "By the way Lucy, what happened? Why did Phantom Lord was trying to capture you when you have done nothing to them.."

"About that, I want everyone to listen to this since it's one of the main reasons why Phantom Lord attacked Fairy Tail and why they tried to capture me.." stated Lucy to the members of Team Natsu who nodded at her request and began to round up everyone that was available to hear her story. After everyone was gathered together to the middle of the basement hall, the Celestial Mage began to speak about who she truly is along with her past and why Phantom Lord were so keen in capturing her..

To say that most of the guild mates were shocked to learn that she is the daughter of a richest man in the continent would be an understatement..

"I'm sorry that I hid this secret from all of you that everyone is suffering the consequences of me being here.." commented Lucy with a saddened expression as she stares at everyone "If going back home means that Phantom Lord will stop their attack, then I'm willing to do the sacrifice if it means that all of you will be safe..!"

Everyone stayed quiet at her comment that nobody wanted to break the tense silence. However, a certain Saiyan was the one who spoke up first..

"Come on Lucy-chan don't say that! Do you really think anyone in the guild will let you go back to a place where you were never happy to begin with.." said Goku with a soft smile as he grabs her shoulder to support her "And even if you give yourself in, I'll make sure to bring you back to the place where you are truly happy!"

"Goku is right Lucy! You're part of the Fairy Tail family and we take care of each other no matter what!" added Natsu to the conversation with his own smile as he tries to reassure his friend..

"Yeah you're one of us from the moment you joined and it will be like that forever..!" said Gray with a small smirk towards the Celestial Mage, this was followed by everyone giving their own comments about how Lucy was now a permanent member of Fairy Tail and how they will take care of her from any enemies.. Lucy couldn't help but to start to feel overwhelmed by all the love she was feeling from her guild mates..
