''He's gone... He's gone...'' Happy kept repeating, his eyes dead, as his tone sounded cold. He fell to his knees and started to repeat it again. Every time with a slightly more panic and sadness. His best friend, gone forever.

Gone.

Gone.

Dead.

''He's gone...'' Happy said again, his heartbeat and breathing starting to quicken. Lucy had the same error. Her mind went blank.

''My fault...'' Lucy said to herself, knowing she was one of the reasons her best friend was gone. It was all her fault. Natsu took one for her. One too much.

Everyone was devastated. But there were two mages, that were staring blankly at each other. They said nothing, their eyes had no sparkle. Both of them were just... Staring, while the two holding them cried loudly.

Wendy and Chelia just kept staring, as the loud crying continued. Romeo couldn't stop the tears, but he didn't try to stop them either.

Happy and Lucy were still in a state of error. Everything suddenly didn't make sense anymore. Everything was wrong. Every limb of them screamed error. Everything hurt. Lucy clenched the place where her heart was located tightly, Happy doing the same.

Erza and Gray were still unconscious, they had the error Happy and Lucy had earlier, immediately after it became a straight line. They fainted, because they lost their brother. The whole guild was crying uncontrollably.

''NATSU!'' Levy screamed, shaking the salmon-haired dragon slayer. However he didn't react. His eyes kept closed, and his face kept a calm and peaceful expression.

''We should prepare a grave... Not only for Natsu,'' Master spoke between hiccups, as he wiped his tears, only for new ones to stream down his face.

''F-For wh-who else?'' Mirajane said, sobbing loudly.

''Those bastards that gave them hell... It's time to return the favor,'' Master said, as he screamed in pain, frustration, sorrow and hatred.

''They don't deserve a grave though...'' Mirajane said, transforming into her demon form, the tears having disappeared with it.

''H-Hold on... You can't just g-go there!'' Carla said between sobs, using her wings to hold back Mirajane from leaving the guild.

Wendy and Chelia then looked at the rest of the guild before Wendy sighed, and Chelia looked back at Natsu. ''Stop it...'' Wendy muttered quietly, her hands glowing green again for merely a second, before leaning against Romeo completely for support.

But her demand wasn't heard thanks to the loud crying and screaming of the guildmembers. They were absolutely devastated by the loss of their goofy, bubbly and happy guildmember, Natsu dragneel. He was gone forever.

No one could believe it, yet the proof was right in front of them. Several guild members kept trying to listen to his heartbeat, insisting that the heart monitor was wrong, but alas. What felt like hours ticked away, yet it were mere minutes.

More and more people broke down on their knees, sobbing, crying, screaming, fainting. It was a mess.

It was silent in the main hall. After at least 3 hours of crying, everyone got sent out of the infirmary, as everyone said their last words to the salmon-haired mage. Mira dried the dishes with dead eyes, as Lisanna accidentaly burned the food, but she didn't seem shocked by it, as her expression too, was dead.

Gajeel and Levy were in the library, not doing anything but sulking at the big table. Giant towers of books were in between them. They wanted to be with each other, yet they wanted to be alone.

Erza and Gray were put in beds in the infirmary, as a blanket got thrown over Natsu's corpse. Makarov was trying to plan an attack on the council, but his mind kept wandering back to the lost mage.

Lucy was put to sleep with a medicine, just like Happy and Romeo. Wendy and Chelia kept asking for silence, but no one heard them. They were the only ones in the infirmary left right now, just staring at the bed where the corpse is laying on.

They then shared a look, as Lisanna entered the infirmary with a burned fish for Happy. She saw that Wendy and Chelia threw the blanket on the ground. as they both touched one of his eyes. Lisanna dropped the fish. ''WHAT ARE YOU TWO DOING?!'' She asked with an outraged tone, other guildmembers coming to see what had happened.

''Wendy! Chelia! Stop it!'' Mirajane ordered, Lucy, Happy, Erza and Gray waking up from all the commotion. They quickly caught on what was happening. Lucy immediately took action and pulled Wendy away from Natsu, while Erza did the same with Chelia.

''Let us save him...'' Wendys said simply in a quiet tone, as Lucy gulped.

"We can save him!" Chelia said in a slightly desparate tone, as Lucy's arms slid off of Wendy's stomach, and the said girl ran to the corpse, Erza slowly letting go as well.

The girls grabbed each other's hands as they started to chant. After 20 seconds of chanting words, they started to glow. Wendy a mint-greenish color, while Chelia a lavender color. "DEUS REUVOS!" Wendy screamed, as the glowing colors went right into Natsu's corpse. After he absorbed the spell, the two girls fell on the ground, barely conscious.

"Will that revive him?" Lucy asked, helping the bluenette stand.

"...Yes," Wendy said after a short while. Erza grabbed Chelia and put her on her bed.

"Can you... Revive my parents as well?" Lucy asked in a soft tone, the room suddenly becoming quiet. Wendy shook her head slowly.

"No, I can only revive someone once, and it comes with the help of the only other healer alive on this world..." Wendy said, smiling sadly at her best friend.

"It comes at the cost of our magic, you see. Now we're ordinary humans..."

A few minutes later, Makarov spoke up. He was going to explain what he had in mind now.

''My idea was for Erza, Mira, Gray, Wendy, Lucy and Natsu to leave the guild, because they got 'kicked out, because I was angry' at them, for saving Natsu and Lucy, and for breaking the statue. Then those six were to create their own guild, and for the council to know that they were no longer with Fairy Tail. They had to tell the council they were kicked out because of their crimes, which would make Fairy Tail save from danger. Then they'd have to do whatever they could to clear their names, spirit those councilors away and find out what actually happened...'' Makarov explained.
