Natsu's Point of View

I was already at the guild, eating. Lucy was still in the infirmary but she was awake. She said that she was working on things for the council. We tried to get her to do it down here with us but she said that she needed peace and quiet to work and that she also was gonna do some calls. Everyone started to quiet down once we heard shouting from the infirmary.

"I don't care. You can't make me." Lucy shouted with anger. We couldn't hear with whoever she was calling.

"I won't accept what you are offering. I said before and I'll say it again, no."

"I'm gonna hang up and I don't give a fuck. If I fuckin see you, I won't fuckin hesitant to punch you. I had enough of your Bullshit, now I suggest you put the 1st council member on before I get more pissed off." The shouting stopped and you could hear her mumbling. I picked a fight with Gray when Lucy came down on the phone. She went to Gramps and handed it to him. He was on my phone for a few minutes before hanging up.

"Brats listen up." He shouted. Everyone looked at him.

"The council had decided that since Lucy is part of our guild, and she is in charge of handling the case with Dark Night Guild, they had approved to let us be involved. So with that being said anything with these people will go through Lucy."

"As of now, you guys will be helping and everything. There are rules and things that I need to tell you. You guys will still be able to do jobs and all that but from now on you have to pay attention to your surroundings. Now if you see anyone suspicious then I need you to tell me what they look like, what town, and what they were doing.  There is one main rule that I have, it is that you do not engage with these people at all. Which means no talking, fighting, etc. If I find out I can not help you. The council will get involved in that situation. Now that is if you get away, they won't hesitate to kill anyone. Also if you do engage or seem suspicious to them then they will activate whatever plan they have which will put us at a disadvantage.”

“So what, you don't know what they are planning to do to these villages?” Erza asked.

“If it was only one village that had shown themselves then yes but they have more than ten targeted so I don't know. The only idea I can think of is that they are going to attack at once or they are going to hit each village right after one another but there are many risks so they won't do that.”

“How do you know that?”

“They’re smart, they won't put so many people out at a time because then it might give us an actual estimate of how many people are at their disposal.” everyone was taking in the information.

“If anyone wants out then tell me now. I won't be mad.”

“Why would anyone want to be out? They've affected many people.” someone said and all of us said yea. Lucy smiled knowing that we all have her back.

“Alright that is all.” she looked at everyone but her eyes landed on Juvia and Storm.

“Juvia, I suggest that you don't go on any jobs till I tell you and that you always have someone with you."

"Why?"

"Dark Night will go after you to get to me."

"How?" Gray asked.

"Cause she has a kid. They would use the kid to get me. To them the kids are important. From what I can tell they use the kids to make their 'armies' bigger. They train them any way they want so the kids would be at their disposal."

"So they raise their own people?"

"Yup."

“Alright,” Juvia said, holding Storm closer, fear in her eyes. 

“I’ll let the council know now but just to let you know that if you destroy anything they won't go easy on you since you are helping me and I no longer will be paying the damages either.”

“Wait, you 've been paying the damages for the past two years?” Gramps asked.

“Yes.”

“But that has to be over a billion jewels.”

“The jobs I've gone for the council pays a lot so I just used that money. Anyway, let me call them,” she said before pulling out her phone, typing something while walking back to the infirmary. I could hear her faintly say hello before I could no longer hear her. It was hours of us just talking and what not. Storm was starting to fuse. I could feel something was off like someone was watching us. I looked out the window and saw no one. It was starting to get dark. Me and happy called it a night. As we were walking to our house I could feel eyes on us but I didn't see anyone or smell anyone. Once we got to our house I stopped before we went in.

“Whoever is there comes out,” I shouted. I heard a giggle and Gin jumped out of thin air.

“Hello, Natsu~.”

“What do you want?”

“Personally I want a lot of things but for the sake of the guild I cant have all of them. I want you to tell Lucy this, we always get what we want. It's only a matter of time before our plan sets in motivation. Also, tell her this when she’s alone, next time that I have her, I'll let the boys play." She said with an evil smile.

“Bye-bye natsu~.” She said before doing a backflip. She disappeared before she touched the ground. The only thought I had was what plan did they have and what did she mean to let the boys play.
