Chapter 1

The Beginning of the End

In Lucy's mind it was the beginning of the end. It didn't matter what she did from here on out because Lisanna would always have priority over her. It was here Lucy saw her looming fate. As she stood separated from the rest of her friends the conclusion became clear in her mind. It had been building up for months, technically years, ever since Lisanna's return from Edolas. Lucy had been kicked off Team Natsu moments before. Stealing herself for this dangerous task Lucy walked to the top floor of the guild where the Master's office was. She raised her small fisted hand and knocked gently on the door.

"Come in." Makarov called from inside and Lucy pushed the door open.

"Master, I have a request." Lucy said closing the door.

"What is it my child?" Makarov was paying attention, rather than shuffling the complaint files on his desk.

"I wish to leave the guild." Lucy whispered.

"What is the reasoning behind this decision?" Makarov asked.

"I have been forgotten and left behind all of my friends, my family. It would be best if I were to leave so I could be completely forgotten." Lucy explained, not wanting to go into too much detail.

"I see; then let me remove your guild stamp." Makarov waved her forward and she extended her hand to him. "I hope you find what you're looking for wherever you may go after this."

"Thank you Master." Lucy gave him a small bow but was stopped by him clearing his throat.

"It is just Makarov now." He gave her a look and she smiled in return.

"I will make note of it." Then Lucy was gone.

As she headed back towards the entrance of the guild Lucy covered the spot where her mark had once been. It was an attempt to hide the fact she was leaving, but Lucy had no reason to worry because there was no one to notice it. The guild was its usual bustling self; tables flew across the room from side brawls. Lucy walked carefully down the middle of the guild, not one person turned to engage her in conversation and the guild didn't notice a disturbance until the guild door was closing. Gajeel swore later he had caught the edge of a blue skirt, blond hair, and a hand without a guild mark, but he didn't mention it then.

Lucy walked to her apartment and collected a small backpack with few clothes and essentials. Then she packed away her box full of letters to her mother in her bag, her story carefully enclosed within the folds of the bag as well. Lucy then removed all the money she had in her apartment and approached the land lady's door.

"I'm going to be moving away today, sorry I don't have more notice. You have permission to do whatever you see fit with the things I left behind."Lucy told the woman who nodded in recognition before closing her door again.

With a sigh Lucy walked dejectedly towards the train station. As she was just climbing aboard a thought struck her: How was she supposed to earn money to pay for her life? Lucy froze in the doorway which led her to hear a few people commenting about how there should be guilds for those without magic. It was a couple of children who looked jealous of the mage's, a smile hit Lucy's lips and she moved forward to find an empty seat. As she sat there waiting for the train to move she pondered over the idea of a guild. She didn't want to just join any old guild, but then, what if she were to create her own guild? Yet here was another problem, what mage's were to populate her new guild? She had no one to even start one with. Though it seemed as if today was the day all her prayers would be answered.

"We need to work!" There passing by her seat was a girl with long brunette hair, she looked bored and annoyed. Her eyes were a bright, clear blue, and had a big chest. Behind her was another girl with green hair and purple eyes, also with a large chest. There were also two boys, each one was tall and muscular; they appeared to be twins with identical blond hair and gold eyes.

"We could steal a job from a guild." The girl suggested.

"Or just join a guild." The twins said together, it slightly unnerved Lucy.

"None of the guilds are the ones for us though." The first girl argued.

"Excuse me," Lucy didn't even know when she had stood. Here she was, still in a bit of shock herself facing these four strangers on a train.

"Yes?" The leader asked as if sizing Lucy up.

"You said you were looking for a guild to belong to and I was just thinking about how to create a guild of my own and…" Lucy was unsure of how to finish her sentence.

"You want us to join a guild you haven't created yet?" They were obviously shocked and Lucy nodded bashfully.

"Would we compete in the Daimatou Enbu in six months?" The green haired girl looked at her excitedly.

"Quite possibly; depending on the rules and requirements this year." Lucy smiled at them.

"Let's do it." The twins whispered to the leader.

"Alright, we'll join your guild." She held out her hand and Lucy shook it excitedly.

"My name is Lucy Heartfilia." Lucy introduced herself.

"I'm Jess Jordan," the leader responded before pointing to her team mates, "this is Kotoha Legend, Kanagi Bernein, and Haru Bernein."

"It's nice to meet you all." Lucy gestured to the seats next to her and they all sat down together. "Now, we have to decide before we go to the Magic Council who will be the master."

"It was your idea, I don't know you that well, but I think you deserve to be master." Jess said and Lucy blushed slightly.

"I don't know."

"I agree." Kanagi stated without his brother for once.

"Definitely." Haru smiled at Lucy.

"No doubt." Kotoha was nodding quite vigorously.

"Oh, well, thanks." Lucy mumbled looking down at her hands for a moment. "What do we want to call our guild?"

"I don't know; we should incorporate your name somehow." Jess told her thinking.

Lucy let her mind drift back to her days in the guild. There stood her "nakama", all the times she'd feared even if it was only for just a little while. Then there came the image which would build her guild. She'd always looked up to them when she'd wanted to join Fairy Tail. Yes, it was only fitting; after all, they never stopped smiling.

"I have an idea." Lucy said placing her fist in her hand.

"What is it Master?" Jess leaned forward and Lucy felt weird being addressed so formally.

"I was thinking we could call the guild: Lucifer and use an image of the devil as our guild sign. Then we could connect with each other by putting our hands like this." Lucy lifted her right hand, her pointer and pinky fingers were pointing up with a slight curve as though horns and the thumb was holding down the other two fingers. "Devil, you know…"

"I like it." Jess said returning the sign with a smile.

"I'm curious, what kind of magic do you guys wield?" Lucy asked lowering her hand.

"Kanagi and I do a twin flame magic thing, we work best as a team though we're strong singly too." Haru explained.

"I do future magic; I can pull physical representations of people out of the future and use their magic at the power it will be in the future. It's sort of confusing." Kotoha said waving her hand around unsure of how to explain it.

"Intriguing." Lucy looked closely at Kotoha for a moment before turning to Jess.

"I'm a First Generation Water Dragon Slayer." Lucy's eyes widened.

"NO WAY!" She exclaimed.

"Yeah, is there something wrong?" Jess looked confused.

"The guild I left earlier today had the first generation Fire, Iron, and Wind dragon slayers; as well as a second generation lightning dragon slayer." Lucy explained.

"What guild did you come from?" Kanagi asked.

"Fairy Tail." Lucy said; it was their turn to have wide eyes. "I left because they ignored me and left me behind."

"Who knew, it was such a family oriented guild." Kotoha sat back in her seat a frown on her face.

"Well, there's always that one family member right?" Lucy sighed, a fake smile not cooperating with her face.

"What kind of magic do you use?" Jess asked changing the topic successfully.

"I'm a celestial mage; I own ten of the twelve zodiac keys." Lucy told them proudly holding up her key ring to show them.

"Wow!" Haru looked interested.

"I think we'll have fun. We'll have to choose a place to set our guild up though." Lucy sat back down thinking once again.

"Let's confront the council first; then we can worry about location." Jess suggested leaning back in her seat as if to sleep.

"I do have a question for you though," Lucy said just before Jess fell asleep.

"Yes?"

"How do you not get sick on transportation?" Lucy looked genuinely curious.

"Easy, no one mentions it." Jess explained turning green almost immediately as she slid down in her seat.
