"What's going on here?" Erza commanded. Iris ran to her with tears in her eyes. "Mr. Luke is missing. I went to the inn to check on him, but the room was destroyed and he was nowhere in sight." Erza pulled out the lacrima and handed it  to Iris. "What is that?" Master questioned as he approached the small group. "It's a lacrima we found in the room. Apparently Mr. Heartfilia was attacked but managed to escape to Hargeon. We've been instructed to meet there now." "Then we have to go!" Iris shouted in panic. Natsu looked around the guild and sniffed the air. "Hey, where's the old guy?" "He was with Mr. Luke at the inn, but I haven't seen him since. I assume he accompanied him to safety, he is Mr. Luke's most trusted personal aide." "I see. Well then no need to beat around the bush. Let's pack up and head to Hargeon. We'll see what this Luke fella wants." Master gestured for the group to disperse and walked away.

*Later in Hargeon...
Luke's POV
"Sir do you think they will come?" I looked at my aging aide and smiled placing my hand on his shoulder in an attempt to assure him. "Of course they will Daniels. I have faith in fairy tail, in Natsu. Just as my sister did." Daniel's shook my hand off his shoulder crossed his arms and stared at me directly in the eyes. "With all due respect sir although it may sound rather harsh, but look where that faith landed your sister. She wouldn't have landed in this state if it wasn't for fairy tail or that Natsu fellow." I'm growing tired of being questioned but it is understandable. I've not revealed everything yet, even to him. "Now Daniel's we both know that had Lucy not gone to Fairy Tail then Piero would have attacked long ago. It was the guilds fierce reputation that kept him away for so long. No one would dare attack with her constantly surrounded by so many powerful wizards, not without powerful reinforcements themselves, and those require time to assemble." Daniel's shook his head in defeat. "I know you cared for my family Daniels, and you're just looking out for us as you promised my mother you would, but trust me. I have faith that we can fix this." Daniel's nodded in understanding and gave me a small smile. "Besides we both know Lucy never died in the first place."
