(Quick note, everybody is at least a few years younger than in the original, like, 14/15.)
During a mission in Crocus, Team Natsu were preparing for an expedition in a nearby forest with fearful monsters and deadly beings. Lucy had to buy some equipment, only stepping out for a number of minutes. While she was out, the team was attacked by another group from the dark guild, Moonlight Secrets, and were almost defeated.
When Lucy returned, she found the inn they were staying at, in shambles and some extremely frustrated teammates. After being screamed at and verbally abused, Lucy runs away and vows to return the favour.
A few years have past since then, Lizanna returned, battle were fought. Yet still, no Lucy. Through these years, strange events have happened. Enemies have been defeated just by being pushed into another room. Odd deliveries made to the guilds variety of Masters. Fairytail had supposedly done things they don't remember, such as destroying towns and cities on missions they've never heard of, or cleaning an entire village, that had been crushed by dark guilds, in mere seconds.
Team Natsu felt bad, no one meant what they said, most don't even remember what they said or what made her leave. Now a new battle must be fought, but this one will be harder than any other. This. Is. War.
Will Fairy Tail be able to survive this one, or will they need help from a fallen family member?
Will they find her, or will she find them?
Does Lucy have any relations to this new war that will fall upon Fiore and all its guilds?
(A/N I know I've already done a 'Lucy leaves to get stronger' fanfic, but I thought this was an alright idea. If any of you guys have anything to say, please comment!)
Natsu is known all throughout the land of Fiore, he's greatly known for his dragon-slaying abilities. Flames are used to represent him alongside, light. What happens when his past comes back to bite him.
Despite all his attempts to hide from his past, one thing sticks out. His childhood best friend. Lucy Hearfilia. She isn't strongly known among the general population but instead, the higher-ups, guild masters. They are the general people who know who she is.
She shows up out of the blue to help Natsu, she wasn't there to torment him but rather, help him. Lucy knew the pain of creating a new life and having it on the brink of destruction due to the past.
Right under the guilds nose's one of the greatest dark mages helps one of the greatest light mages fight his past. Some would argue that Lucy was truely, superior to zeref.
When the council comes knocking on fairy tail's door's demanding them to hand over Natsu Dragneel. Lucy steps in and takes the brunt of the force. All his past came back and would end up destroying him but Lucy knew she couldn't allow that to happen.
