A/N: I hope you got the message in the last chapter, that Lucy is not dead. Keep this in mind that Lucy or Erza will not die in this story. (I kinda [NEED] need these two if I want erlu)

PROPHECY:
Into the future, doom shall befall
It is up to the chosen 5 to help the wizard of light to stop it
The Stars of 88 must combine
Revelation of the stars and knight shall collide
A new relationship must not occur, for it will usher forth of doom for all
When myth becomes truth, a naked star shall sacrifice the ones it loved the most
Once friends, now enemy, the wizard of light and darkness shall meet

Please enjoy? 😢

After the whole ideal of the victory over the competition, the members of Fairy Tail made their way back to their guild, only to see that a present had been waiting for them.

The whole town had contributed one way or another and upgraded the guild of Fairy Tail. It was grander and it stood proudly in the town of Magnolia. The members rejoiced, for that they had been missed, and that they have the support of the town that they represent.

After couple of days of extended partying in the guild to accommodate for their victory, the members decided to resume their daily missions and normal activities and the like. And this was the marking point to which Erza will begin her self-mission of finishing what Lucy couldn't do before she had died.

Natsu and Gray continued their bickering and intense rivalry, but the redhead paid them no heed as she stalked to the request board to find anything that might concur either a direct or indirect connection to dark magic or Zeref himself.

Before Erza could reach out and grab one of the requests that had caught her interests, she heard a demanding voice from behind.

"Erza, Natsu, Gray, and Wendy. Please come here." Makarov spoke as he held a piece of paper in his hand as he sat on the bar.

Reluctantly, Erza turned around and approached Makarov, followed by the curious mages of Wendy, Gray, and Natsu.

"I have a request regarding all of you. It also had asked for Lucy, but she's not here, so I'm sure we can do it without her." Makarov grumbled the last part as he stared at the piece of paper.

A pang of guilt was felt in Erza's heart, as she had not told the rest of the guild about the condition of the blonde mage, but she continued to keep quiet.

"The name of the client is Warrod Cken and had requested for you to complete a mission." Makarov then paused then reread the name again, his shock become more visible.

"What is it?" Erza asked, her curiosity getting the better of her.

"Warrod Cken, ranked 4th amongst the ten Wizard Saints, one of the four heavenly kings of Ishgal." Makarov finally spoke in a stern, yet shocked tone of voice.

"What?" Erza's eyes widened at that revelation of occurrence.

Numerous amounts of collective gasps was heard across the guild, while Natsu and Gray remained quiet in a state of silent shock.

Why would a Wizard Saint request help, requesting help from a destructive guild?

...

"You ate my meat, didn't you?!" Natsu roared angrily, glaring at Gray as they walked toward the direction of their client's house.

"As if I eat something you touched!" Gray retorted back, disgusted to even think about eating after Natsu.

"And put on some clothes!"

"The color of your hair makes my eyes hurt! Do something about it!"

Erza sighed tiredly, not liking the disturbance of the two boys that they are making. "Is this really the time to be fighting?"

"It is quite amusing to say the least..." Wendy smiled nervously as she looked back to see the boys fighting verbal with each other.

"Things never change." Erza murmured.

"Why don't you get eaten by Erza!?"

"You can go cover yourself in Erza's shit!"

"Now I'm being insulted?" Erza growled, raising her hand, intent on knocking them into the world of common sense and courtesy. And she would've given them a beating if Wendy had not spoken up so suddenly.

"Over there! Our client's house!" Wendy pointed to a house up the hill while holding a map in her other hand.

Erza sighed and turned around to see house up the hill. "The house of Warrod Cken." She murmured with anticipation of meeting one of the great wizards.

"Let's go!" Natsu immediately cheered with fire spewing out of his mouth as he made his way to the house.

The other mages soon followed the dragon slayer and noted how the door was already open. They casually made their way into the house.

"Excuse me." Wendy called out.

"We're mages from Fairy Tail." Erza added.

"Shh, quiet." A shushing sound was heard from the back of the room. The mages turned their eyes to where the sound was heard and noted a weird figure watering the plants. "The plants likes silence. If you can comprehend that, then shut those annoying mouth." The figure begun with a stern tone

The mages remained quiet, not wanting to anger one of the Wizard Saints.

Then the figure turned around with a grin and a smile. "It was a joke! A joke! The plants and flower love human voices!"

Erza and the others slumped in shock for a moment while the man laughed at his own joke.

"What?" Natsu sweatdropped.

"He's supposed to be some badass dude?" Gray questioned.

After laughing, the man looked at them with a serious look. "Thank you for coming. Is this Natsu-kun and Gray-kun? They're more cattish than I expected!" The man spoke with shock while holding both Happy and Carla.

The four mages stood rigid, sweating bullets, wondering if they had indeed came to a wrong place.

"I'm joking! It was a joke!" The man let the cats down and laughed at his own joke. But the other mages were not amused, not in the least.

"My apologies, but are you Warrod Cken-sama of the Then Wizard Saints?" Erza asked, wanting to get straight to business and not joke around."

"Certainly! Indeed, I am Warrod Cken." Warrod spoke with determination for the first couple of seconds. "It's a joke."

The mages let out shocked expression, realizing that they had come across the wrong place.

"...It would be a joke if it was a joke." Warrod added with a playful expression, which caused the mages to slump in shock.

"This guy...really takes it out of you." Gray mumbled to himself, already tired and wanting to go home.

...

After being debriefed on their mission of saving a village that had been iced, the mages had to explain to Warron on why Lucy wasn't present. Warrod was quite understanding and understood the situation of Lucy being missing, though Erza begged to differ.

Out of his generosity, Warrod used his green magic and summoned a gigantic tree and sent the mages flying toward to the destination of the Sun Village that was currently iced in an unknown substance of magic, unordinary ice magic as Warrod had stated.

"Bueh..." Natsu groaned after getting off of the tree, realizing that it was also transportation, although he had quite enjoyed the ride of it...

"We've arrived." Gray pointed out, already seeing the hints of ice in the distance.

"What amazing magic!" Wendy exclaimed

"That was certainly fast." Erza commented as she looked around.

 "Even the rocks are frozen." Carla examined.

"The village is just ahead, right?" Happy asked.

To answer Happy's question, the mages made their way toward the ice covered village and try to find some sort of solution to fix the village.

Only one thing that made the mages confused, was that they couldn't find anybody in the streets. "According to Warrod-sama, even the people were iced. But I don't see any." Erza mumbled as she looked around.

Not another second, Natsu started to scream at the top of his lungs in shock. "HUGE! HUGE! HUGE!!" The dragon slayer was waving his arms around as he begun to see more of the gigantic people that had been iced. "This was a village of giants!?"

The mages turned their attention up higher in the sky, and could verify that this indeed was a village of the giants. Gray felt a wave of nostalgia, giants encased in ice is something that made Gray uneasy, mostly because of his past.

"Who knew that such giant humans existed..." Erza mumbled as she looked at each of the giants that she could find.

"They even had a dog!" Wendy pointed at one that sported the appearance of a dog, but Carla questioned if it really was a dog or not.

"And to help them out..." Natsu grinned as he walked to the foot of a giant and placed his hand on it, activating his fire magic, hoping to melt the ice.

"Go, Natsu! Go!" Happy cheered.

Less than 5 seconds later, Natsu sat on the ground, feeling defeated. "It's tougher than I thought."

"Aye." Happy sat next to Natsu, also feeling defeated.

Carla sighed. "You didn't accomplish anything..."

Gray then walked up the foot of the giant and placed his hand on the giant. "That wood guy did tell us that this wasn't normal ice..." Focusing on the ice that was in contact with his hand, he noticed something, and it felt so familiar. "What's up with this ice? It's magic I never sensed before."

"You can't melt it with you magic either?" Erza crossed her arms, wanting to get this job over with so she could go straight to searching and finishing what Lucy couldn't finish.

"This ice reminds me of someone else's magic." Gray frowned.

"Oh my! Someone got here before us?" A new note of unfamiliarity was registered from behind, alerting most of the mages. "Well, this isn't good."

"It's super filled with just kids and chicks!" Another voice noted with his arms crossed.

"Dun. Dun."

"And you are..." Erza grew a tick on her forehead, not wanting to have any interference with this mission. She wanted to complete this mission as fast as she could.

"A treasure hunter guild." The first man begun.

"Forget I asked." Erza interrupted with a growing hint of anger and impatience. "Leave this place now."

"Now, listen here, girlie! We are here for the eternal flame, one of the greatest treasure, and we will get it." The first man said with a frown of being interrupted.

"Don't care why you need it. But we won't let you get it, and second, you are interfering with our mission."

"Does it look like we care?" The second man grinned.

"Dun. Dun."

"Natsu. Gray. Do me a favor and knock these men senseless." Erza ordered as she turned to the aforementioned mages.

Both Natsu and Gray pumped their fists as grinned, eagerly complying with the demand of the redhead.

"Wendy, you go with them as well. I will continue to investigate this area." Erza added as she turned to face the petite dragon slayer.

Wendy complied and followed the two mages that had already made their way to beat the three men that dared to interrupt their investigation.

Once the mages were gone, Erza turned and walked deeper in the village and started to scan the giants, trying to find some sort of clues that could save these giants.

The redhead mage had concluded that the giants were trying to defend something, as they held weapons in their hands, all facing the same directions. And she had also concluded that the eternal flame, the treasure of the Sun Village must be what the giants were protecting.

Then she felt something, something felt odd. Her armor suddenly became too big for her, and her clothes also became too big and loose on her. She quickly turned to the closest ice to look at herself and was shocked.

How did Erza turn into a child?

"Wha...What is this!? I've turned into a child..." Erza cried as she looked at her reflection.

Erza started to feel her face, definitely feeling that it had changed. Then she moved her hands to her chest, seeing that her chest had been reduced in size.

"What's going on!?" Erza started to freak out, not wanting to start her childhood phase all over again. "I need to get back to normal!"

But what worried the mage the most was whether she could still use magic. If not, then how could she fight for the legacy of Lucy's?

Erza clenched her fists as she focused the magic that she had and tried to summon a sword. It was rather difficult to summon a simple sword, as the magic usage had increased, with the addition of speed of ex-quipping slowing down.

"My, my. To see the Fairy Queen in such a sorry state." A voice was registered as a figure made itself known.

Erza turned toward the source, only to see one of her old competitors that she had fought the in GMG.

"Minerva? What are you doing here?" Erza asked.

"Me? Well, I'm on a job. But the real question is what are you doing here?"

"A job as well..."

"Well, whatever the job is, I suggest that you leave. This is no place for a Fairy to wonder about." Minerva said.

"Huh? I'm here to save this village and the giants. I won't be leaving anytime soon. Though I would like to leave as soon as possible..." Erza mumbled the last sentence to herself.

"Oh, these giants? Don't worry, they are in capable hands."

"I don't recall Sabertooth having the resources to fix problems of this scale."

"Sabertooth? True. But the STAR Alliance sure have its resources." Minerva smirked.

"STAR Alliance!? You're part of it?" Erza questioned.

"So is Sting and Rouge. And I'm sure Hisui had told you to keep your distance from the affairs of STAR Alliance's activities."

"Yes, she told me about it, and I plan to go against it. I will help one way or another." Erza glared at Minerva, not intent on backing down for whatever reason.

"Oh? Well, I do have permission to attack those who go against us, and you are one of those people." Minerva smirked.

"I'm going to finish what Lucy started, and I will do it till I die!"

Minerva remained silent for a moment, a small smile tugging at her lips in amusement. "So...You like Lucy, huh?"

Erza blushed, wondering how so many people already knows about her crush. "So what? She's dead."

"Really? Ever thought of finding someone else to love?" Minerva playfully smirked.

"Don't even dare." Erza glared at the mage before her, enraged that Minerva would even tell her to love someone else. As if. Lucy was the only on for her, even in death.

Minerva silently snickered. "Fine. Then leave and I'll stop talking about this. Members of STAR Alliance will fix this problem and return this village to normal."

"I'm afraid that I cannot do that." Erza declared, not planning on leaving anytime soon, not after she finishes the job. She wouldn't want to disgrace the name of Fairy Tail, especially when her client were one of the Wizard Saints.

"You really need a new wardrobe stylist." Minerva spoke with a grin.

"Huh?" Erza frowned before looking down to see that her body had returned to normal, and her bottom half is completely exposed.

"Looks like he had been eliminated." Minerva smirked. "Everything's going to plan...except that you Fairies are here."

"What's wrong with us being here?" Erza frowned as she re-quipped into a new set of armor to accommodate her lost clothing.

"Our plan had been set with the right variables and the equation had been completed. However, you are the extra variable that will ruin the plan. All I ask you is to leave and do you daily routine of whatever you Fairies do." Minerva raised her hand, readying herself to attack, according to her orders.

But, before Minerva could cast a spell, or before Erza could even counter attack, there was a moment of sudden magic was felt as both Erza and Minerva was sent back into their childhood state.

"What the hell!? What are those imbeciles doing!?" Minerva cursed under her breath when she realized her current state.

Erza gritted her teeth. "I don't know who else is supposed to be here with you. But if my guess is right, Natsu and Gray are doing their job properly."

"How dare you!" Minerva launched herself at Erza, retorting to a tiny physical attack, knowing that her magic reserve is restrained and limited.

Erza easily complied to the physical fight, and wrestled with the black haired mage. She won't back down from this, and she will fight for Lucy. Minerva or the members of STAR Alliance will not get in her way.

Couple minutes later, the two mages took their distance to take a breather and temporarily rest. Not another second, their bodies went through another change to which their bodies had returned to normal.

"Hopefully he's been done for." Minerva muttered as she fixed her clothing.

Erza immediately reequipped into a set of armor. "I'm sure we can talk this out. I know that we can work together."

Minerva started at Erza for a moment before smirking. "If she had allowed that, then we wouldn't be in this state, wouldn't you agree?"

Erza sported a questionable look. "Huh?"

"Is it really that important right now?"

Before Erza could respond to her, there was a loud explosion in the distance, at the base of the mountain.

"What's that?" Minerva turned to the source of the explosion.

Erza only smiled. "Natsu...He's the only one that could make such a mess. Do your men make this much mess?"

Minerva turned back to the redhead knight. "Sting can be extremely reckless. But he had a different job to do rather than fight."

"Oh? Still doubt that we would get in your way?"

"Even if you could fight with us, it still doesn't change the fact that your presence will change our course of action. We don't have the resources to implement you into our equation."

Erza scowled.

In the corner of the mages eyes, they noticed ice that surrounded them begun to melt.

"The ice is melting..." Minerva muttered as she looked around.

"They did it." Erza smirked.

"I suppose." Minerva frowned as she turned back to Erza. "Let's end it here. Let's hope that this is the last time we meet, for your sake." She then turned and left in hurry without any word or glance, leaving Erza alone.

Erza scowled, still will not relent to the will of the STAR Alliance keeping them away. She will help them one way or another. Whether they liked it or not.

...

Redeeming and saving the village of the Sun Village was a success on the Fairies part. However, upon the STAR Alliance's role in that situation was also a success, yet risky.

Minerva, Sting, and Rouge walked in the castle of Fiore and made their way to where Princess Hisui could be found almost 24/7.

"Natsu was badass!" Sting exclaimed as they walked toward their destination.

"If Gajeel was there, then it could've been done faster." Rouge mumbled.

Sting and Rouge continued to talk about the battle at the Sun Village and the demons that they had come across, while Minerva remained quiet and amused.

When they reached their destination, Minerva didn't bother to open the door and slammed the door open, alerting the occupant that was inside the building.

Princess Hisui immediately stood up with shock from the sudden noise and soon relaxed when she found that it was Minerva and the twin dragons.

"Did it work?" The Princess asked.

Minerva smirked. "All gone according to plan. Convincing Silver to freeze the village was a success, and luring Warrod to the village was a major success. Let's hope that Lucy won't find out."

"Or read our minds." Sting added.

"How can we hope to hide this?" Rouge crossed his arms.

Princess walked up to the three mages. "Let's just hope. We need the Fairies, and I don't understand why Lucy can't understand that."

"I'll tell you why...Lucy's don't want to put them in harm's way." Sting said.

"When is she coming back from that job with Jellal and the others?" Minerva questioned to anyone that may know the answer.

"Not for couple of days. I asked Jellal to stall her so we can complete this mission flawlessly." Princess Hisui answered.

"Do you think Lucy will kill us if she finds out what we just did?" Sting asked.

"She wouldn't have a problem killing those that used to be villains, like Jellal. But I don't know what she'll do to us." Minerva frowned.

"Well, only one way to find out, and hope that we don't need to find out what she'll do." Rouge intoned.

"Anyway, mission accomplished. We need the Fairies help. And we are getting it." Hisui smiled.

A/N: Honest truth? I wasn't planning on adding the last part. But I had this sudden idea of adding this last part, seeing that it was appropriate and that it flows with this story. Hope this clears up the misunderstanding, and any negative assumptions of what you previously believed. [I'm honestly still am shocked, but I guess this is human nature, so...]
