"Elric-sama, we have knowledge about the last missing piece of the so-called treasure of your family", a woman entered a room.
"Is that so? Where is it located?", asked the man in his middle 30's.
"At the ruins of Muriel", said the woman.
"Muriel huh? So it was there all along. Send this fort to the official guilds listed here. Whoever finds the Anidrew's treasure will be awarded 3 million Jewels. Bear this words for I, am Elric Anidrew!", said the man.
"I will heed you orders, my Master", the woman bowed at him before excusing herself out of the room.
The next day, an official request was sent to three of the official guilds.....

"Ooohhh!!! Look Lucy, I found a job!", Natsu shouted out loud from the guild.
"Na-Natsu! That's an S-Class job! Don't tell me you went over to the second floor again!", Lucy scolded him.
"Well I...", Natsu was rubbing his cheek with his finger.
"Don't worry Lucy, that job was given by the Master. It seems very important so he's sending six mages to do the job", Erza said appearing from behind her.
"Six?", Lucy asked. What job is it that requires six of them?
"Yes, and I already picked out who will go", Erza explained.
"Who did you choose?", asked Lucy.
"First is Natsu and Gray, I also invited Wendy along with Gajeel, they may be helpful to us", Erza said.
"Is that so? Wait, you're one member short....", Lucy trailed-off.
"What are you saying Lucy? Master already knew and the job requires the most powerful team of Fairy Tail, of course that includes you!", Natsu interrupted.
"Eh?.....Oh", Lucy said in realization.
"You didn't think you'll be left behind right?", Erza said with a teasing tone.
"Well I...", Lucy was out of words and just looked shyly at her friends. "When are we leaving?"
"About two hours later, we'll just have to inform the Master", Erza said.
"Alright I'll pack my things then", Lucy said.

"The trimens will leave at once. Nichiya and Jenny will come as well. This is a lovely parfum I smell", Ichiya said.

"What? Why me?", Juvia exclaimed.
"Chelia has a fever and we need another member to do this. We'll leave two hours from now", Lyon explained.
"But I...", Juvia was about to interrupt.
"Don't worry, we'll assist you if you need anything", Jura said with an assuring voice.
"Then let's show our love to one another on this journey alright?", Cherry said excitingly.
As their group were created they left their guild right away. As they walk their way towards the city of Cripot, one wizard was taking her steps in a slower pace.
"I must not falter when I see him. I'll make sure you will not distract me again, Gray Fullbuster", Juvia thought as she walked.

The next day, the three guilds, Fairy Tail, Blue Pegasus, and Lamia Scale has arrived Anidrew Mansion just as they planned.
"Elric-sama, wizards from Fairy Tail and Blue Pegasus has arrived", the maid said as they entered the living room.
"Welcome Fairy Tail and Blue Pegasus, I am very grateful for your assistance. Please, make yourself at home", the said Lord welcomed them. He was holding a simple golden plaited necklace with no charm in his hands.
"Thank you, but before that we wanted to ask what this is all about", Erza bluntly asked.
"Still as scary as always I see, Erza. That's what makes your parfum the strongest", Ichiya said in a perverted way. "Men!"
"Titania Erza, everyone, I would tell you the details of the job when the other guild is....", Elric Anidrew stopped mid-way for the doors had opened once again.
"We have arrived. Sorry for the late introduction", a man said as he entered together with the other five people behind him.
"Lamia Scale", Elric mumbled.
"Lyon! And...", Gray's eyes widened as he saw him but he had another thing he found surprising than Lyon's presence.
"J...Juvia!", Lucy and Erza gasped as they saw her.
"We meet again", she bowed at them literally avoiding Gray's gaze.
"Oi what's the deal! You joined their guild?", Natsu exclaimed.
"Well..."
"Her concern is not for you to meddle with", Lyon said flatly.
"She's with us so you shouldn't mind other's business", Cherry said.
"Looks like something's off between them. I smell a much tensed parfum", Ichiya said.
"Yes such tense parfum indeed", Nichiya made a perfect imitation of Ichiya's pose.
"It certainly feels the same when our guilds were supposed to battle off Oracion Seis", Hibiki seconded.
"Aye", Happy agreed.
"Hey that reminds me! You're guild has the most people participating in this! The request says only five", Jenny shrieked.
"But we're not exactly people, we're cats", Charle said looking at her sternly. "You have too much make up like that one", she pointed towards Cherry.
"That doesn't exactly counts does it? We chose to go here on our own will", Lily defended.
"Please, we need your cooperation on this. I don't care the numbers. Since I heard your success in Oracion Seis I expect you to have a great partnership the most among all other guilds in Fiore. Can I look forward to it not like what I am witnessing right now?", Elric asked.
"Natsu...", Erza's hand was in his shoulders, trying to calm him off. "That's enough", with that Natsu calmed a bit and sighed before turning his back at them.
"Jenny...", Hibiki patted her shoulder. Jenny just looked away.
"Can we please start now?", Jura asked their client for the job.
"I need you to find a very important thing, Anidrew family's heirloom", Elric started.
"An heirloom? What heirloom?", Cherry asked.
"Anidrew? I heard of that name before", Lucy thought.
"It is something handed down to a family member in every generation", Jura explained.
"Then, what kind of heirloom is it?", asked Gray.
"It's a very important device. Though I asked you all to look for it, there's something else you must do", said Elric.
"What is it?", asked Jenny.
"That kind of treasure is something powerful and very dangerous. I heard it was reported active on the ruins of Muriel", said Elric.
"Muriel? The destroyed city?", Hibiki blurted out.
"Destroyed?", Ren and Eve looked at him.
"The city of Muriel? It's just a myth wasn't it?", Lyon asked.
"Yes, apparently, it was attacked and the city was destroyed by the oppressors back in the days. Some said it was just a myth, the city itself wasn't seen by anyone else", said Hibiki.
"History tells the truth, but, not everything's been told correctly", Elric said.
"What do you mean?", Erza asked.
"I think there's more to it that you want us to do than just retrieve it", Natsu said.
Elric was silent and looked like he is thinking of something.
"You're right, although it's true that I want to retrieve Anidrew's heirloom, I also want you to do something for me once you got a hold of it", said Elric.
"It sounds dangerous considering the number of people you requested", Ren and Eve said.
"Well, you're right. I asked five to six people from three popular guilds in Fiore because what I'm requesting wasn't easy. You see, what I am requesting you to look for has a kind of magic that draws magic from the waters. It can control every water in the world and I was told that at this point in time, it might go berserk if not destroyed immediately", Elric explained.
"If that is true, then why is it in Muriel?", Jura asked.
"It was taken there by my grand ancestors but apparently, it reacted", Elric replied.
"Don't tell me...", Cherry and Wendy put a hand on their mouths.
"Yes, the city was destroyed by it. My ancestors didn't expect it to be so powerful. Seems like it was possessed by a spirit of a mermaid or something", said Elric.
"I can't believe there's something like that", Lyon said.
"Can you tell us more details about it?", Juvia asked. Gray glanced at her.
"Yeah, you've been going on about this thing but you never told us anything that describes its form. How will we know what it is?", Gajeel finally said something.
"Sorry about that. Anidrew's heirloom was round and transparent but when you look closely it is shaded with blue. When it was under the water, it shows the deepest shade of blue like the ocean. It reacts when it sensed magic or when it knows that you're going to destroy it so be careful. It controls water and very powerful, I was told that it's small like a pearl and was worn....",
"Like a necklace that glows like a brilliant reflection of the sun in the water's surface", Lucy suddenly blurted out unconsciously. All heads turned on her with confusion.
"Yes, how did you know that?", Elric asked with interest.
"Eh?!", Lucy snapped into realization. "Well I, you see, I kind of seen it, sort of, and I heard it from my Mom when I was young. I kind of used it as well, but, a little different than what you're thinking", Lucy scratched her head innocently.
"Your face. Don't tell me...You're a Heartfilia?!", Elric shouted.
"Umm, well...", Lucy said.
"What if she was? What about it?", said Natsu.
"Nothing, forgive me. I didn't notice you earlier. Allow me to pay respects to you. Your family helped me a lot in business and as a wizard so it's a pleasure to see you Milady Lucy", Elric bowed before her.
"No, please, you don't have to...", Lucy held his shoulders, making him stand.
"Please, I know I owe so much to the Heartfilia's, to Master Jude and Mistress Layla especially, now, I'm asking yet another member of your family to help me once again. Please help me", Elric said.
"Don't worry, we'll take this job and help you out. I don't know what kind of things my family has helped you with but I'm happy to know something about it. I promise to help you, not just as a member of the Heartfilias, but as a member of my new family. I, together with Fairy Tail that is, will help you out", Lucy so
