Without Zeref

Chapter 10

Natsu POV

I smell Luce’ sent. I start following it.

“Natsu where are you going?” Gray asks.

“I smell Luce.”

Gray follows me leaving Lyon and Juvia to exchange looks and hurry after us.

I round the corner and spot Lucy.

“LUCE!” I call out.

“Natsu!” She waves.”I'm glad I found you guys!”

“Hey Lucy.” Gray calls what have you been up to.

“Nothing much. Currently I have been just re-gathering my keys.

Lucy POV

We headed back inside the Dwarf Gear guild hall. We sat in a large circle debating over what to do next.

“Well Fairy Tail doesn't exist in this world so no one who was affected by Fairy Tail made it to Fairy Tail.” Gray said.

“So you should find the people you know where affected by Fairy Tail.” Lyon said.

“Well there's us. But we're all here.” I start. “ There's Mirajane, Elfman, and Lisanna…”

“Who are on Galuna Island.” Juvia said.

“What about Wendy?” I ask.

Everyone freezes.

“I guess we're going to Cait Shelter.”

“Where's Cait Shelter?” Levy asked.

☯☯☯

Gray POV

The ruins of what used to be the Cait Shelter village were all that remained.

“Guys look.” Lyon said. “This portion of the wall is covered in dust but this portion isn't.”

“So?” Natsu asked.

“It means someone has been here recently.” Lyon said.

Natsu begins to sniff the air. “It's Jellal.”

“But Jellal was nowhere near here.” I point out.

“Mystogan then.” Lucy says.

Mystogan jumps down off of the building he was on.

“Who are you and how do you know about me?” He asks.

Charla, Lector, and Frosch all fly down and land beside Mystogan. Happy flies right into Natsu's arms.

“Natsu…” Happy cried. “I missed you.”

Erza POV

There was no Eclipse Gate. It was missing. Or it was never there.

“You there! What are you doing on Castle grounds without permission?” The guard asked.

“I was looking for clues.” I reply blatantly.

“What are you some sort of detective?”

“No. I'm a Fairy Tail mage.”

“I'm going to have to take you in to see the King.”

“Very well.”

The guard leads me into the the Throne Room. The guard pushes me forward.

“I found this girl trespassing on the castle grounds without permission.” The guard tells the King.

“Why were you trespassing on Castle grounds?” The King asked.

I tell him everything.
