A/N: This is a rewrite!! I changed some things, and added more juicy details throughout the chapter!

This should be better than the previous, but you be the judge 😃

Please enjoy? 😢

Lucy was in a search of hide and seek for the keys that she had yet to collect. Some keys had been proven rather difficult to locate, and difficult to subdue due to power differences and intelligence of the keys. It was thrilling, to be able to sense the nearby spirits, and battling to have them in her possessions. But it had been frustrating.

As of now, Lucy has six keys that she collected from their owners after a fair fight, and 24 silver keys that had been store-bought. 30 keys in total in her possession, and Lucy still have a long way to go.

Lucy wandered through the streets of Crocus that was packed with civilians. She strolled to a stop as she stopped on a sidewalk, and leaned against a building that rested behind her. She activated her mystic senses, hoping to at least locate a spirit in the area before taking a break for the day.

Couple minutes later, Lucy closed her eyes in frustration. No spirits were detected, this left Lucy in a state of frustration.

Not another moment, an explosion was heard in the distance, causing Lucy to reopen her eyes and follow her gaze to the source of the sound. She spots spoke rising to the sky behind some buildings.

She quickly debated within her mind on whether she should go and follow the source of the battle, or not. Since there's no keys nearby, I might as well do it.

Lucy begun to jog to the source of the site. Soon her sights became clouded, blocked by smoke that begun to surround the cloaked girl. Because of her fear of vulnerability, she called upon the invisibility power of the Chameleon, and willed herself to become unseen to naked eye.

Once satisfied with her safety, she proceeded deeper into the smoke and detected two bleak figures jumping out of a broken window that they've robbed. She observed that each of them carried one large bag that she assumed to be Jewels.

Right now, the men were just standing in the smoke, talking to each other, or complaining as Lucy observed, on where to go.

Lucy called forth the power of Taurus and stealthily walked in front of the unsuspecting robbers and brought her enhanced fists to the stomach of the robbers, sending them across the street. Their grip on the bags were loosened and rest gracefully on the ground.

Lucy takes a look at the bag for a moment before grabbing them and placing them in her void for the moment. She'll return it when things had been resolved.

She deactivated her invisibility and sauntered to the men that were recovering from the sudden ambush.

"The hell!?" One of the men cried, clutching his stomach as he rose to his full height. He started to look around until his eyes landed on the cloaked girl. "Was this you!?"

"Where's the money" The other man cried as he frantically looked around with concern.

"Huh"? The first man turned to the other man before looking around, noticing that the bags had disappeared from sight. "Shit!" He stomped his feet and turned back to Lucy with anger in his eyes. "Where is it?!"

"I don't reveal anything to criminals like you. I'll give you two choices: Surrender now, and I'll give you mercy. Or, resist, and I'll make sure you don't walk again." Lucy threatened.

The man gritted his teeth in frustration and anger as the other man begun to tremble with fear.

"Shit! I surrender!" The other man exclaimed as he fell to his knees, accepting his fate.

The first man, with much reluctance followed suit and surrendered with a scowl.

Lucy smiled. "Smart choice." She summoned some rope from the celestial realm and started to tie them together so an escape won't occur.

After the assurance of them being properly contained for the moment, Lucy then turned to the store that they had robbed and entered through the broken window. There was a crowd of onlookers that begun to form in the shop as they rose from their hiding spot.

"Is the owner here?" Lucy called out, looking at the people in the crowd.

Not a second later, a middle-aged man stepped forward with a slight smile. "I must thank you for stopping those robbers."

Lucy quickly nodded before opening her void and grabbed the two stolen bags and presented them in front of the owner. "I believe this belongs to you."

The owner stepped forward and looked through the bags for a moment before looking back at Lucy with a smile. "Yes, thank you so much. As a reward, I'll shall give you 100,000 jewels."

"That won't be necessary." Lucy raised her hand.

"Huh? But I need to reward you." The owner frowned.

Lucy smiled "What you can do is spread the word about me. I'm on a key hunt, trying to collect all the celestial keys."

"I-I see. Then, can I at least treat you something. It's on the house." The owner protested.

"Then, can I take the offer next time?"

"Of course. You are welcomed anytime." The owner smiled.

Lucy grinned back, but soon faltered with a frown as she felt a negative magic nearby, instantly dabbing it as one of the celestial spirits.

"I'm sorry, but I need to go. The police should be here soon to take those criminals." With that, Lucy ran out of the building and begun to follow the traces of the celestial wave that the spirits was emitting.

It was different than the one she had faced so far. It seemed full of hatred and negativity. Guess she'll find out when she comes face to face with the spirit.

Lucy kept her heightened senses active as she followed the celestial magic through the streets of Crocus.

Five minutes later, Lucy stopped herself in a plaza, sensing the magic to be everywhere. But the people that surrounded her seemed to be milling about with ease, as if nothing bad was happening. However, Lucy could still feel the magic...

She upped her mystic senses and focused on where the magic was coming from. She soon realized, with the murderous intent of the magical energy that she was sensing, she was about to face a fallen. This was Lucy's first time facing a fallen, so she wondered what the best possible way to approach the spirit was.

She then traced the spirit on the far left, couple meters out, down an alley. Lucy weaved herself through the crowds of people, making her way to the alley. Soon, she stood in the middle of the alleyway that was devoid of any other people in the area.

Lucy turned her head to the side, toward to the area of a dark shadow that lived there, where she senses a spirit hiding within the shadows.

"Show yourself, Corvus!" Lucy shouted into the darkness of the shadows, sensing that it was Corvus, because of his unique celestial power waves that it emitted.

Not too soon after demanding that, a shadowy figure arose from the shadows and stared at Lucy with a cold glaze with its red eyes that burned a dangerously blood-shot color.

"Corvus. The spirit of the Crow. The master of the shadows. Nice to meet you." Lucy relied politely, wanting to be on the good side of this fallen, the first one she had faced.

"Lucy Heartfilia. To think that you would seek me. Why would you want to find me? I've given up on being a celestial spirit." Corvus growled. "I have enough of this! Respect is what we silver keyed spirits do not have! Mages do not want us...! So why are you looking for me!" Corus was yelling as he ranted.

Lucy smiled sadly. "I'm sorry that you had felt that way. I'm sorry. But I am here to give you a chance."

"A chance?" Corvus cocked his head sideways in a mocking manner. "A CHANCE?! That's all you have to say!?" Corvus yelled sending his shadows toward Lucy, gripping her in a death grip. Lucy didn't even bother to dodge it, mostly because she didn't know a proper method of subduing a fallen.

"Do you know how lonely it had been?" Corvus snarled, tightening his grip with each work spoken.

Lucy remained silent.

"Do you even know how I felt!?" Corvus yelled, tightening his grip even more on Lucy, making her whimper from the slight pain.

"Corvus...You don't have to be lonely anymore. You can tell me...all your pains and loneliness. I'm here to listen to you. I want to be your friend."

Corvus loosened his grip ever so slightly. "Friend? Why the prophecy would want to be friends with me? Lucy Heartfilia of the Great Prophecy, tell me why are you here."

"Let's be friends."

Corvus gritted his teeth before throwing Lucy over his shoulder, across the alley with much force as he can muster. Lucy landed with a loud crash as she made contact with a cold stone wall.

"I don't like games, you little brat!" Corvus screeched.

Lucy clutched her sides, trying to numb the new pain that was being quickly registered, and struggled a little to get back to her feet. "I do not take this lightly, Corvus. I can be your owner. You don't have to be lonely again.

Corvus stayed silent, opting to study the cloaked woman before him.

"Corvus. I understand that most celestial spirits are mistreated and lonely. I understand that. But I'm here to change that." Lucy dared to take another step toward the spirit little by little.

Corvus gritted his teeth, a deep debate raging within his mind.

"Corvus. Join me in the mission of saving this world. We can work together." Lucy extended her hand as she neared the fallen, hoping that this would convince the spirit.

Corvus looked at Lucy's extended hand, then at Lucy. "Why do you want me? Just because I'm one of the celestial spirit, and that you need all 88 keys?"

Lucy smiled. "You're a celestial spirit, and you need a home. The prophecy has nothing to do with it."

"..."

Lucy took another step forward toward the spirit. "Corvus. I want to be your friend. Join me."

Corvus was tempted...he wanted a new home, a place where he would be needed. A place where he can have a friend. "Lucy...do you really mean it?"

"I never break my promises." Lucy smiled.

Corvus then extended his shadowy hand and hesitantly clasped onto Lucy's hand. Almost immediately, the body of the spirit begun to shimmer a bright golden light.

"Princess...thank you." Covus smiled as his body returned back he where he belongs.

Lucy glanced down in her hand, seeing a silver key that belonged to Corvus. That wasn't so bad, Lucy thought as she added the key to her ongoing collection of celestial keys. But next time, she ought to be careful next time, as her sides still hurts from when Corvus had violently thrown her across the alley

31 keys... So many constellations without a home. So many constellations suffering. It was Lucy's job to save them before it was too late.

...

Lucy made her way to her next destination that was raiding her mind. Balsam Village. She wanted to go there for two reasons. First was because she had never been there. Second, she had sensed a murderous magic that radiated in the area that surrounded the village. The powerful murderous intentions that it emitted, it magical powers could be sensed even with Lucy's naked being.

Walking couple more miles, the magical energy was growing more murderous and it brought a shiver down Lucy's spine. She was having a bad feeling about this, so she begun to teleport herself toward the site of the murderous energy.

She did not dared to go face to face with the unknown force of the entity that she was unsure of. She needed to know what she was facing, so she teleported little by little, making her way closer to the site of the brawl.

Then she arrived at the village of Balsam, to which the site before horrified her. Rubbles and debris decorated the roads, buildings were smashed and collapsed to the ground, and casualty was not absent.

Then a loud, deep howl was heard. Lucy turned her head to the direction of the howl and made her way toward it with caution, fearing her own safety and the anxiety that she felt as she neared the site of the howl.

Three minutes of powerwalking to the site, Lucy stopped dead in her tracks as she spots a gigantic beast and two mages that seemingly to be battling the beast.

She couldn't tell what was happening from the distance that she was at, so she decided to teleport and appeared behind the mages to ask them the situation that they had found themselves in.

Just when Lucy appeared behind them, unbeknownst to the mages, the girl that stood in front of the beast with her arms spread out, seemingly to guard the girl that was kneeling on the ground, was hit with the force of a thousand suns when the beast's arm was brought down upon her. The girl was violently sent across the clearing, disappearing into the collections of trees and bundles of branches and leafs, followed by the scream of despair of the girl on the ground.

Lucy stood with wide eyes as she realized the strength that the beast possesses. She watches the girl trying to get up and go after the girl that disappeared into the woods, only to be brought back down due to her injuries.

Lucy gritted her teeth as she stepped forward, placing her hand on the girl's shoulder to gain her attention. Once the girl's eyes were on the hooded figure, Lucy then proceeded to approach the beast with caution.

She quickly called upon the power of Taurus and Antila. Once the power settled within her, she dashed forward, appearing right in front of the beast, and immediately brought her fist down on the ground to create a diversion. Before the beast could do anything, she quickly sped away and appeared behind the beast and brought her fist down to the ground again. The beast turned around and moved his arm to the ground with a quick movement.

However, Lucy was faster, and disappeared before his fist could hit her. She now teleported to the top of the beast, and with the diversions that she had created, she immediately and quickly mustered all of Taurus's power and brought her fists down upon the beast's neck.

The force of the punch created a large crater beneath the beast and the beast collapsed to the ground with a loud thud. Lucy examined the beast before turning to back to the kneeling girl that had been watching with tears falling and clutching on her arm all the while.

But something else had caught her eye, the beast begun to shimmer a faint white light. Lucy watched as the beast begun to shrink into a smaller figure. Moments later, a young man with white hair was in its place.

Lucy approached the man to assure that the man was in the clear with non-threatening wounds. Once the assurance of his safety was fixed, Lucy turned and approached the kneeling the girl on the ground with tears in her eyes, and wounds liberating her body.

The girl stared at the hooded figure before her, tears still proving a difficult task to halt its release.

"That man will live. Now we should go and find that girl." Lucy spoke up once she rendered the girl to be safe in terms of injuries.

The girl looked at Lucy before resting her eyes upon the figure of the man, then back at Lucy with a nod. She tried to get up on her feet, but failed to stay stable on her feet, and stumbled back to the ground with a whimper.

Lucy silently sighed before grabbing the girl's arm and wrapped it around her neck and started to drag to girl into the woods.

The girls started to look around, past the limbs of trees and branches to find a limp, and hopefully alive girl on the ground.

Couple minutes later, they spotted the girl past some broken trees that may had been impacted from the trajectory of the girl's flight.

The girl that Lucy was carrying immediately let go and limped forward, but soon fell to her knees. Persistence, she started to crawl to the girl on the ground. "Lisanna!"

Lucy watched as the girl quickly crawled to the limp girl that laid silently on the ground and stared to softly shake her. She studied the limp girl for a moment before realizing the extent of the injuries.

She walked forward and knelt on the other side of the limp girl and extended her hand over the girl.

"What are you doing?" The girl asked, while hold the limp girl's hand in her own.

"Right now, she is dying." Lucy said, seeing the immediate effect of the girl trembling with fear. "But I can save her with my magic." Lucy continued.

The girl stood in silence as Lucy performed her magic on the limp girl. Lucy's magic begun to emit from her hand, and absorbing into the girl. Her magic condensed and expanded, restoring and healing the damaged area that had been inflicted with injury and pain.

Soon, the threatening injury subsided, and the limp girl was no longer in danger. Lucy pulled her hand away and stood back to her feet, looking at the girl. "She'll live."

The girl then cried and gently embraced the limp girl. "Thank you, miss!"

Lucy smiled behind her cloak. "May I ask what happened?"

The girl sat back up and looked at the hooded figure before her. "I took my little brother and my little sister on an S-Class job..."

Lucy sensed some guilt in her tone of voice. "I'm guessing you're regretting it?"

The girl nodded. "Who are you?"

"You can call me Lucy."

"Lucy? Well...thank you so much. Thank you for saving my siblings..."

"Life is more precious than a dangerous mission. Treasure what you have, and don't take it for granted." Lucy smiled.

The girl slightly nodded and looked down on her sister. Then she looked back up, "I'm Mirajane. This is Lisanna, and the man that you subdued is my brother Elfman."

Lucy shook her head in understanding. "I see. You should be blessed to have a family, as they are the only connections that you have in life, other than the connections of friends and such."

Mirajane nodded a little. "I see...I'm guessing you don't have any family?"

"No."

Mirajane then beamed as an idea had popped into her mind. "Then join our guild! We are like a big family, and it's full of good people, and some annoying people..." Mirajane muttered the last part under her breath.

"Guild? What is it?"

"Fairy Tail!"

"Fairy Tail?" Lucy repeated with a tone of unsuspecting awareness of revelation.

Mirajane nodded with a smile. "It's a great place if you want a family. You'll be welcomed."

Lucy then smiled. She does remember reading something about Fairy Tail from a letter from her Father.

"I'll keep that in mind when I'm ready."

Mirajane smiled. "When you do, I'll give you a warm welcome."

Lucy smiled back. "That would be nice."

Mirajane then struggled to get to her feet, and looked at Lucy through her hood, though she couldn't see anything, she still looked through where the eyes should be. "Thank you very much. When you join, I'll make sure that it will the best welcome party ever."

Lucy smiled. "I'll be looking forward to that then."

After receiving assurance that Mirajane have everything covered, to attending her little sister as well as her little brother, Lucy then teleported away, away from the scene, away from the destroyed village of Balsam.
