Guilt and Regret

They've Returned

*7 Years after Lucy and Juvia left*

Since Lucy and Juvia started their training, they've changed not only mentally, but physically. Lucy's hair now has red streaks and is up to her waist. She styles it in a high ponytail with her bangs down. Her personality is much different, she is quiet, calm, very sarcastic and if you get on her bad side, you won't live to see tomorrow. Her taste in clothes has changed too. She now wears this.

Lucy isn't the only one that has changed, Juvia's hair is straight with waves at the end with violet streaks, she also styles it in a high ponytail with her bangs down. She has developed trust issues for everyone she doesn't know. She is also quiet, cold and well, a complete savage. Lucy sometimes says she thinks that Juvia acts like Gray sometimes, which is very ironic because she hates him soo much. Juvia now wears this. 

Although it seems that Lucy and Juvia changed, they still have the same heart they did while in Fairy Tail. Determined, kind and will always help a friend. "Congratulations Juvia, Lucy.  After 7 long but exciting years, you have mastered Elemental Magic." Elementasia said, "It has been an honour to work with you. Before you venture of, I have some gifts for you." Juvia and Lucy looked at each other with a confused look. "For both of you, I have a special bracelet, they're used as a limiter since your magic power can cause people to faint, and also as a summoner. Juvia, yours can summon the water Guardian, Marina. Lucy, yours summons the space Guardian, Luna. I suggest you only use them only for emergencies since they take up a lot of magic power but, you are free to use them whenever." Elementasia handed Lucy a gold bracelet and Juvia a blue one. 

"Next, Juvia. I have this spear, I have observed during our training you are very talented with spears and so, I got you one." Juvia looked at the spear and smiled, "Lucy, I have for you a sword, like Juvia, you are very talented with the sword." Lucy held the sword excitedly, "Both weapons can turn into a sword, spear, whip and bow and arrow. The weapons are basically indestructible and only you can wield it unless you give permission." Juvia and Lucy looked shocked, "Really?!" Lucy said,"That's possible?!" Juvia said. Elementasia giggled, "Yes, my last gift is my book, it will have training tips to help you since I won't be there." Juvia and Lucy's eyes widened, "W-what do you mean?" Lucy stuttered. 

"I cannot stay on earth for very long after this since I have been here for seven years. Unlike celestial spirits, I also can't be summoned often. In fact, I can only be summoned once every 2 years. But when one of your lives are in danger, I will not hesitate to come. My book will be disguised as a cookbook, which has recipes you can use, but with one snap of the fingers, will reveal my book. Protect that book with your lives, it mustn't fall into the wrong hands." Lucy and Juvia looked like they were about to cry, which they haven't done in years. Elementasia held both their hands tightly, "Don't cry my children, I will always watch over you." Then she let go and bowed before them, "This isn't goodbye but, until we met again." With that, Elementasia disappeared.

Two of the flowers from Elementasia flower crown flew towards Lucy and Juvia, the red flew towards Lucy's bracelet and got absorbed into it. The same thing with Juvia except with a blue flower. Lucy and Juvia both wiped the tears that were about to fall. Lucy then looked up at Juvia, "You know, we haven't written to Makarov for this month, don't you think it's time we pay them a visit?" She said. Juvia looked at her for a moment, then caught what she was saying and smirked, "But of course."

*Back At Fairy Tail*

It has been 7 years since Lucy and Juvia left but, they haven't changed one bit, except for Mira, Erza, Wendy and Master Makarov. Mira went back to her emo days (Before Lisanna "Died"), Erza is more hostile to everyone except Mira, Wendy and Master Makarov, Wendy seems so depressed, wearing all black and only talking to Team Dark Wings and Master Makarov. (Reminder: Team Dark Wings consists of Mira, Erza, Wendy and Carla. During the whole dilemma, Carla stood by Wendy). Master Makarov, is just horrible. He has taken Lucy and Juvia's disappearance the hardest, he is so stressed and disappointed at his brats, nobody blames him though, everyone knows how hard Makarov is trying to handle his mess of a guild. Team Dark Wings tries their best to help Master Makarov, but his response is always "I'm fine." Even though, he is clearly not. 

"Master, may I come in?" Erza asked while knocking on Makarov's office, "Yes, you may." Makarov answered back. Erza sat in front of Makarov's desk, "Something is bothering you isn't there? More than usual." Master Makarov sighed in defeat, "Lucy and Juvia haven't written to me this month, I'm worried." Erza placed her hand on Makarov's shoulder, "I'm sure their fine Master." Suddenly Mira came in with something in her hand. Master Makarov immediately stood up, "is that-" "No, sorry Master." Mira interrupted. Master Makarov sat back down, "But I feel like you should read it." Mira then handed Master Makarov the letter.

Dear Makarov,

Don't worry, we are no harm, we would like to pay Fairy Tail a visit. Tomorrow, my friend and I will stop by wearing a black cloak. Who knows, we might join your Guild.

P.S. No, we are not the Magic Council :)

Hope to see you soon.

"What does it say, Master?" Mira asked. Makarov looked up and said, "Looks like we will be having some visitors tomorrow." 

*The Next Day*

It was a normal day in the Fairy Tail Guild, food flying, tables were broken, magic being thrown everywhere. Suddenly, the guild doors were thrown open and two hooded figures stood there, a table then flew towards the two figures but, one of them turned the table into a fireball. Natsu then came and ate the fire, "Hey, you two seem strong, fight me!" The two figures giggled a bit, confused, Natsu was about to asked until Master Makarov came out of his office. "Would you be the one who wrote to me yesterday?" "Yes, I am. May we talk with you, Miss MiraJane, Miss Erza and Miss Wendy in your office?" Natsu then yelled, "Can I come too?!" Master Makarov shot Natsu with a death glare. "You could've just said no.," Natsu mumbled. "Of course, come with me." Master Makarov said.

*Inside Master Makarov's Office*

"Okay before we get to business, is there any way to block sound so that no one can hear us? This is a very private matter to discuss." Said one of the figures, "Sure thing." Wendy said, "Wind Barrier: Sound Lock!" Wendy yelled as  Wind Barrier surrounded everyone in Master Makarov's office. "I must say, Wendy, you've improved since the last time we've seen you." The figure said. Wendy tilted her head in confusion. "Sorry, where are our manners? We should've introduced ourselves first. Although," The figure said as both removed their hood, Team Dark Wings and Master Makarov's eyes widen. " I don't think we have to." Suddenly the 2 were attacked with hugs, "LUCY!!!! JUVIA!!!"
