"Fire Dragons Iron Fist!" Natsu shouted bringing his fist full of fire towards Usani's face he easily dodged and made a counter attack he pulls out a lock and starts chanting

"Unlock! Water Logged!" Tattoos similar to Aquarius's form on him. He maneuvers his hands around him spinning in a fluid motions "Water Thrash!" The water comes spewing towards Natsu, Natsu tucks and rolls but the water grazed him causing his to open a new wound.

"Ughn, What the hell was that?" Natsu murmured bringing himself to his feet. Loke stood next to him fixing his tux "And where the hell did you come from!?" Loke chuckled and pointed to Lucy. Natsu scoffed "I can handle this myself this is my fight!" The two boys were now forehead to forehead. Lucy sweat dropped knowing this was going no where. They continued arguing until Usani decided to cut in. "Are we done having our childish fight? Never new the famous Natsu Dragneel would give up so easily"

Natsu turned his head anger burned up in him "I DID NOT GIVE UP YET I JUST GOT INTERRUPTED!" He started running toward Usani again as did Loke.

"Fire Dragons Claw!"

"Regulus Impact!"

A huge explosion hit Usani but it only made him stumble backward "Wow that actually hurt a little" Usani mocked "But as of now it is time for me to go. But I will be back, Lucy Heartfilia" and before Natsu or Loke could react he disappeared. The guild was rumbling in confusion Lucy had her eyes wide still clutching Bre.

"THAT COWARD HE LEFT THE FIGHT WAS BARELY STARTED HE-"

"Natsu that's quite enough" Erza cut in, Team Natsu were all gathered together including Bre. Lucy still had a shocked look her pupils reduced to the size of peas. "But-"

"ENOUGH!" Erza shouted Natsu nodded his head and shrunk down to his knees. The guild was in shambles nothing survived the multiple bombs except for a few pillars that were still reclined against rubble. Lucy hated this she wanted nothing to do with the bracelet and once again the Guild Hall was destroyed because of her. Tears formed in Lucy's eyes she was always a burden to the guild she knew her friends didn't think so but she felt like one. She was always getting into trouble causing her friend to get hurt. Now she was caring for Bre and she was going to bring trouble to her life too! If Bre got hurt because of this mess Lucy wouldn't be able to deal with it.

"Luce? Are you okay you're crying" Natsu asked planting himself next to her but falling backwards in the process. This made Bre giggle and Natsu got up rubbing his head "Earth to Lucy!" Bre shouted shaking Lucy's arm. She immediately shook her head and wiped her tears regretting crying in front of her friends. "Yeah I'm fine I think I'm just gonna go home" She got up lifting Bre onto her back "We will be back tomorrow to help the re-build" She started walking and whispered to herself her bracelet shining purple "All because of me.." _______________________________________________

Over the next week there was no sign of Usani the Guild was almost finished but everyone stayed in the basement. Lucy's bracelet constantly had the purple aura around it worrying some guild members. But Lucy knew why it was glowing she was constantly upset the same depressing thoughts going through her head. She has barely eaten only when Bre made her eat would she ever actually give in. Every day Bre and her would visit Bre's mothers make-shift grave making Lucy even more upset knowing she was the cause of her death. Lucy would act happy and joyful around Bre so she wouldn't be worried or become sad herself but when she was alone or Bre wasn't around she had the most painful face.

"Luce I'm worried about you, You know this isn't your fault right?" Lucy looked up to see Natsu and Happy both had the same worried expression on there face "Lu-shee you should eat something you look pale"

Lucy sighed "Gee thanks but I'm not hungry"

"Bull crap!" Natsu exclaimed "You have been saying that for the past few days and Bre told us you weren't eating at home! Your making Bre upset she's worried about you! She noticed that you have been sad she said that you cry in your sleep!" Lucy's eyes got teary again. She was making Bre worried! Gray came up and put his hand on Natsu's shoulder

"Natsu stop." He murmured his hair covering his eyes. Natsu huffed and walked away Lucy put her hands to her face sobbing silently. All my fault she thought her bracelet now more radiant than usual. After about 10 minutes she wiped her tears off her face and spotted Bre. She put on the best smile she could pull off and walked over to her.

"Alright Bre time to get going!" Bre sighed she was playing with Elijah but closed his gate after saying goodbye. "Okay!" Lucy grabbed her hand and told Mira they were leaving for the day. Bre skipped a few steps in front of her hopping and running and twirling the child in her shining through. "You sure are happy today aren't you?" Bre giggled and stopped coming up to Lucy "I got something for you that I told Elijah to get from the celestial world! Okay now close your eyes no peeking!" Lucy put her hands over her eyes and turned away. Bre constantly giggled pulling out a small blanket that was a baby blue it was about the size of a regular cloth but was amazingly soft.

"Okay turn around and open your eyes!" Lucy did as told and a blue blanket came flying at her face. She caught it in mid air eyes wide. "Awh Bre! You're so sweet!" She came in for a big hug clutching the blanket in her hand. The purple aura around her bracelet dimming down a bit. "Thank you Bre" She whispered to herself and continued walking to her apartment.
