6-7 years in the future…

Erza sighed as she entered Fairy Tail's guild hall, followed swiftly by Wendy and Charle. They walked in to find that Natsu and Grey were once again fighting. The guild cheered on as the two fought. "Natsu, Grey!" Erza hollered out.

The two immediately stopped and gulped in fear as the red headed warrior glared to them. "Yes ma'am!"

Happy smiled at the two, "What a bunch of wuss-pusses." "You're one to talk!"

Wendy rushed over to the two, wearing a bright and shining smile. "Natsu-San! Grey-Sama! Erza-Sama agreed to take us on an S-class mission with her!" At this, the two boys jumped down from the table and smiled brightly as well. "Really?! Finally!"

Erza shook her head as she walked over to the S-Class board. "You're ridiculous…" But they all saw the fond smile she wore as they followed her in joy.

As they came upon the S-Class board, they noticed there was about 5 on there. Grey looked to one and pointed to it. "Why not that one? 3 million jewel to take out the Greencoat Guild."

Erza shook her head. "Master should really look at these more carefully. That ones obviously a scam. The Greencoat guild is a dark guild, but it's small and virtually weak in both power and members. One of you alone could take them out without breaking a sweat."

Wendy pointed to the lowest one. "What about this? 'Locate and return the missing daughter of Jude Heartfilia.' By the date on the poster, it's pretty new. The pay is…?!"

The four looked to it in shock as they all yelled at the top of their lungs, "20 MILLION JEWEL?!"

Erza ripped it off the board and the four ran over to Mira. Erza slammed it onto the bar counter, effectively scaring the crap out of the poor bartender. "We're taking this one!"

Mira sighed in relief that nothing was actually wrong, but when she picked up the paper, she frowned. "Master? Why was this up there?" Makarov opened one eye as he glanced to the page. Upon seeing which request it was, he silent grabbed it and burnt it. The four screamed in indignation at his action.

"Gramps what are ya' doin'?!"|"

Makarov tossed the flame to Natsu before frowning to them sternly. "You are forbidden to take that request. While it seems to be new, it's been passed around by each guild. It's about 6 years old by now."

They looked in shock at this. The request was passed around for that long, it's price never changing, and yet no one took it? "Why?" Happy voiced out.

Mirajane frowned sadly. "People took the request all the time, but they never actually looked into the full details… Everyone who took the request, wound up being found dead by unexplained reasons. They come close to her, but they die immediately. Nobody knows why." Makarov nodded, "That is why I strictly forbid you from this job. Don't think about bein' cute and taking it to prove you're worth somethin' because if you manage to survive," at this point, the whole guild was listening as their master announced this to them all. "I'll kick you right out of the guild, for endangering you and your teams lives."

The master walked off, leaving the entire guild in shock at his statement. Mira simply shook her head sadly, "Don't be upset with his choice, everyone. All the other guilds who had the request have lost high ranked members over that request. The reason it pays so much is because Jude Heartfilia is rich beyond belief, and his daughter is his only heir. From what I heard, he locked her away for ears, but when they realized she was gone, there were reports of her already being across the entire country. She never stays in one place for too long."

Wendy frowned. "If he locked her away, then no wonder she ran. I wouldn't want to be cooped up either…" Gray frowned, "Wait a minute… wasn't Heartfilia that rich business man who came here a few years back? He said he was lookin' for someone, and she mights came here."

Natsu frowned, "Oh yeah! That asshole called me somethin' strange. He said I was a punk and a hooligan." Gray snickered, "Well it's true."

Mira frowned sadly, "I don't know why people continue to die when they go after he. She doesn't murder them, as they find no trace of magic from their death, and they aren't physically attacked. There's a rumor from a town far off that people die just by coming in contact with her."

Erza frowned, "Then isn't that even more of a reason to go after her? Why hasn't the council handled it themselves?" "They have," Mira replied. "They sent an army of 200 to her location, and the only one to survive reported that his comrades all died once they came in a 25 meter radius of her. The one who survived didn't even see her, as he was so far back. If he had, he would have been gone as well. They have t on the request boards for mages who might stand a chance."

Natsu held up his fist, surrounded by flames. He smiled widely. "Then just hit her from afar!" "Aye sir!"

Erza hit him atop the head. "That would be a good idea; if the point wasn't to return her home unharmed! For all we know, she may not be the one killing people. She's not a true threat until proven guilty. It could be someone or something else that's following her."

Gray crossed his arms. "Either way, it doesn't matter. We can't do anything about it. Gramps gave his orders…"

Everyone nodded silently before Charle spoke up. "What do we know of her though? How does one know if they come near her, if they die before seeing her?"

Mira looked up as she tried to recall what she knew. "Hmm, well; the only ones who know what she looks like would be those of her household. While she left about 6 years ago, when she was a teenager, they haven't seen her since she was a small child. Most likely 7 or 8 I think."

"They locked her away as a little kid, and never saw her after?!" Wendy gasped in horror, "That's horrible! I almost don't want her to return home!"

Mira shrugged lightly, "At this rate, she might not. It's said that she's gone to another country by this point, but no one's sure. Her name, is Lucky Lucy Heartfilia."

Yay! Fairy Tail is here now, and Lucy will be meeting them in the following 2-3 chapters. Now, while Lucy seems to be this innocent girl whom loves Zeref to no extent, there's more to her. You'll be seeing a huge personality switch in her during the next chapter.
