Eye of the Black Dragon

Everyone

When Lucy, Erza, and Gray finally got back to Fairy Tail, Lucy felt like she was completely out of energy. She collapsed into bench at a table, as she let out a long sigh.

"You look tired," a voice said. Lucy looked up, and saw a blue haired girl sitting across from her.

"Is your magical ability stating the obvious?" Lucy groaned, her voice rather muffled due to the fact her face was on the counter. The girl chuckled.

"Did you get enough money?" she asked. Lucy looked up.

"Fortunately, since I just moved in, my landlady is going easy on me, so I managed to pay this month's rent," she explained.

"I heard you and the other's ran into Natsu," the girl said," My name is Levy by the way." Lucy sat up.

"Levy?"

"Yep!" Levy said," Levy McGarden!" Lucy smiled.

"I'm Lucy," she said," I haven't seen you here before, which is probably a little odd." Levy grinned.

"I've been on missions quite a bit lately, with my team, Shadow Gear," Levy explained, as she gestured to the two men standing behind her. Both were fairly tall, with one having orange hair, and a hat, and other having black hair in some strange style on top.

"Name's Jet!" the orange-haired guy said with a thumbs up.

"And I'm Droy!" the black-haired guy answered.

"Nice to meet you," Lucy said with a smile.

"Is it true Natsu led you here?" Droy asked, as he leaned down. Lucy blinked, before nodding.

"Yeah," she answered after the pause.

"So its true, Natsu did come back!" Droy whispered to Jet.

"That sounds scary," Jet said.

"I've only seen Natsu personally a couple of times," Levy admitted," And even then, he's just sort of walked by, and never talked." Lucy weakly smiled.

"That would summarize Natsu pretty well," she said," Granted he can be pretty scary at times."

"That's because he always is," another voice said. When Lucy turned to see who it was, it was a girl dressed in a scantly appearing outfit, and long brown hair.

"How much have you drunk today, Cana?" Levy asked, with a sigh.

"About two barrels worth," Cana answered," And you know I'm right. Natsu freaks everybody out."

"Aye!" Happy said as he fluttered over, and landed on Lucy's head," He even freaks me out!"

"I can guess why," Lucy said," He wipes the seafloor with that sea monster in the village."

"Was that the quest Natsu took?" Happy asked.

"I think so."

Happy sighed as his whiskers, ears, and tail hung down.

"I wish he would take me on his missions, they sound so cool!"

"Trust me...," Lucy began, but she was interrupted by yelling. After she checked on the situation, she began to wonder why she had to bother.

As things would have, Erza and Mirajane were going at it again. The topic of the "argument" this time was about whose mission was harder. Lucy assumed that Mira's was harder, but Erza was trying to force the sea monster into the situation.

Lucy then let out a rather sad sounding sigh.

"What's wrong?" Happy asked.

"Looking at this makes me think how I know so few people here," Lucy answered, as she rolled her eyes up at the blue cat.

"Well, we'll fix that!" Levy said with a grin, before pointing. Lucy followed her finger. She saw two people, a young man, and a young woman. The man had black hair that was combed over one eye, and the woman had long green hair.

"That's Alzack and Bisca," Levy explained," They use Gun Magic. Now, they act like they aren't a couple, but don't let anyone tell you otherwise." She then pointed to a guy with short, sandy hair.

"That's Max, who uses Sand Magic," she said, as she continued pointing and showing Lucy other members.

Eventually, Lucy's head began to hurt for all the people.

"Thanks," she said," I think that's all I need for now. I can barely keep up with Erza and Mirajane fighting." Said female mages had stopped arguing over missions, and were now "debating", on who had cooler powers.

From the bar, Lisanna chuckled. Makarov was sitting on the bar next to her.

"Those two will never end it will they?" she said, still smiling. Makarov shrugged, but suddenly, he began to feel rather drowsy.

"You okay, Master?" Lisanna asked.

"I just feel.... kind of sleepy," Makarov said with a yawn.

"Why...," Lisanna began, before she fell to the ground, asleep.

Soon, everyone in the guild hall, even Mira and Erza, had fallen to the ground. Makarov, however, managed to retain consciousness. As he did, a tall man completely covered in a blue shroud, and carried some kind of staff.

"Mystogan," Makarov breathed, narrowing the eye that he managed to keep open," It seems that you have returned." The shrouded man said nothing, as he grabbed a paper off the guild board.

"Give the other's my regards," Mystogan said, before he walked out, before Makarov could ask him about the others and the fact they were still under some sort of spell. Makarov sighed, as he began to pull his head back together, and the others slowly started to wake and stand up.

"What was that?" Lucy said.

"I think that was Mystogan," Levy answered.

"Mystogan?"

"Yeah," Cana answered," He always puts sleep magic and the guild when he comes, so no one knows what he looks like. The only ones strong enough to resist it are the Master, Laxus, Gildarts, and Natsu."

Lucy shuddered at the thought, and subconsciously touched her key pouch. Such a guy made her feel rather nervous.
