Lucy's Point Of View

I was already back at Magnolia early morning. All the shops were barely opening and the restaurants just finished their early rush hour. I decided to take a walk through the park and saw Natsu and Happy leaning against a tree, asleep. I walked over to them and bent my knees a bit. I could tell that Natsu was really tired cause of the bags under his eyes. I rubbed his hair and I stopped when I felt a presence behind me. I stood up straight and looked behind me. I saw Nap, he pushed up his glasses and closed his book.

"I was wondering when you'll come back."

"What do you want, Nap?"

"I am here to offer you a deal."

"As I'll ever make a deal with you guys,'' I said, cutting him off.

"Let me finish, if you come with us we will leave your friends alone."

"And how do I know that you will follow your word?" I narrowed my eyes at him.

"Oh come on Lucy, just accept the deal and all this can be over."

"Yea, no. I would rather die than make deals with the likes of you."

"Eh, gave you the chance but to let you know we won't be too kind in the future." He said before disappearing. I shook my head and looked at Natsu. I pushed away the toxic thoughts that threaten to come forward. I sat down next to Natsu and leaned against the tree.

'Do you want me to take control for a bit?' She asked.

'No,'

'I won't do anything, I promise.'

'No, I can't lose myself again. I have to get through this on my own.' I said cutting off the link. Guardian didn't even try.

"You're here Lushi?" I heard Happy say. I nodded and put my hand on his head.

"Did you guys not go home?"

"I fell asleep on Natsu's shoulder so I guess not." I shook my head and smiled. We were quiet for a bit till Happy had a serious expression.

"They came, Lushi."

"Who came?" I asked in confusion.

"Gin, she came the day you left and yesterday."

"Wait what?"

"She said that she had a message for you but then told us that she already told you. She also made a threat to Gray about Juvia and Storm.'' I stared at him in shock. Gin made her appearance twice to them but none to me.

"What did she tell you guys bout the message?"

"She said 'We always get what we want. It's only a matter of time before our plan sets in motivation.' then she told us to tell you when you're alone, 'next time that I have her, I'll let the boys play.' then left." The beginning, they always say the same thing but in the end, I knew what she meant and I didn't like it. I don't think any girl would like it. It's like saying a girl is an object.

"Ok, what type of threat did she make to Gray?"

"She said watch your wife and kid before something bad happens."

"They plan on attacking soon," I said more to myself.

"What? We have to tell everyone." Happy said ready to fly off.

"Happy wait, are you sure she didn't say anything else?"

"Oh, yea, something bout a clock ticking and a matter of time till something falls." I shook Natsu awake.

"Natsu wakes up," I said. He's eyes slowly opened and he looked at me.

"What's wrong, Luce?" He asks once he saw my panic face.

"I think Dark Night might attack soon."

"What?"

"They've been dropping hints to you guys but none to me. They must be planning something."

"Then what are we waiting for, we have to tell the guild." He grabbed my hand and pulled me. We ran to the guild. Natsu kicked the doors open and I could see everyone. They weren't their usual self. It was as if they were preparing for a battle.

"What's wrong you guys?" Mira asked. Everyone was looking our way waiting, our answer.

"I think they are planning on attacking soon."

"How do you know?" Erza asked.

"Well from what I'm told she confronted you guys and the things she said are hinting that they are planning to attack soon but the only thing I don't know if it's gonna be a village, villages/towns or us."

"The first thing I'm gonna need to do is to talk to the council, then ask the mayors bout the activity from them and go from there."

"Well, we will all go with you." Gramps suddenly said.

"What why?" Laxus asked.

"They sent a letter out asking for the guilds to come for this 'party' or something. They also want to talk to all the guild masters at the same time so we leave tomorrow."

"Do we all have to go?" Gajeel asked, clearly bored.

"I expect everyone to go, supposedly if the whole guild goes then we are supposed to get something. I have no idea what it is. I suggest you pack for a week." Gramps said to us before going into his office. I sat down at the bar and put my hand on my chin, thinking. If they really were planning on attacking than if they were to attack us than they'll have to use their top 5 people. If they were only attacking one village than they'll need between 50-100 men. Now if they were planning to attack all the villages and town they mark than they'll need more than half of their men from their own division. Since each town and village has a different amount in it, they'll need a least a month's worth of planning to just get an idea. To make sure their plan goes smoothly than the minimum is three months. I don't know how long they were marking the towns but when I found out it was a month before I was with Fairy Tail again. So it's only been two months which isn't enough. Unless they are just marking those towns to throw me off. I groan and put my head on the counter.

"What's wrong?" Mira asked.

"*sigh* Just overthinking is all."

"I could loan an ear if you want."

"It's just what is Dark Night planning. They mark towns and I have no idea what they want with so many of them marked. I have a general idea if it was one or two but it more than 10 but the towns are also small which if you put two together depending on the population than it'll equal bout the same amount of past towns they attacked. But there is also where they could only be throwing me off of what they're really planning. If they plan on attacking us then they'll need their top five members to deal with me and you guys while also bringing some of their own men to make distractions so some of the members would be busy. A problem is that they have to watch the guild so they know who does what and know what type of jobs people do so they'll put up fake ones to get some members away. Which they might try to kill them. They would also see what time people are usually busy with jobs which means fewer people at the guild. A perfect time to attack and get rid of as many people as they want." I said, out of breath at the end.

"Oh my, you really are thinking this through."

"Maybe you need a break." I hear Natsu say behind me. I look and see Levy, Natsu, Erza, Gray, Juvia holding Storm, Wendy, and Gajeel.

"I can't just take a break, guys. I have to be at least a couple of steps ahead of them. When I'm not, I'm usually getting captured by them. Now looking at you guys it reminds me that we have a kid in the guild which also isn't good. They would use him to get to me which means hurting Juvia and the possibility of killing her. But won't hurt Storm since even if they do or don't get me then they could use him to their advantage."

"Wait, they would kill her?" Gray said. I could see the fear in both Gray and Juvia's eyes.

"Depending, if she can help them with their plans. She can tell them information or something else."

"What is this something else?"

"They would try to get her pregnant so they have another child in their army. Depending on the father then it would be powerful."

"What?!?" They all shouted.

"Look I'm not happy bout theirs. I saw it first hand. If they could, they would use all the girls here too, no matter their age. Why else do you think they take all the women and children from Towns and villages. They kill the men since they see them as a block in their plan since they are considered strong. The women, they take them so they get them pregnant and use the kid in their army. The kids, if they are a boy well they automatically in their army. If it's a girl then depending on their bloodline then they would use them just like the mother or train to be a soldier. But that is less likely since most of the girls are automatically what they call their breeder." They all gasp in shock and fear. Everyone by now was listening.

"They have been here since the beginning of the guilds, they are the very first dark guild, so how big do you think their guild is if they have been doing it for centuries. These people are dangerous, this is also why I didn't want you guys involved. If they do attack us and we get captured then you can say that for the rest of your life will be a living hell. But some of you might be dead." The next question Wendy asked I wish she didn't.

"Did they try to rape or get you pregnant?" I lowered my gaze and looked away.

"The next time they capture me that's what they plan on doing. That's what she meant 'I'll let the boys play.' I don't know if it's to try and get me to do what they want or to actually get me pregnant."

"These people are horrible. How have they been able to do this for so long?"

"They 'disappeared' for some time. They didn't even attack the towns or villages a lot back then and even when they did, it was blamed on other dark guilds."

"Does the council know bout this?"

"After my joining as one of their solo wizards they found out. Only 4th council member knows some details but you guys know more than they know."

"We need to stop and fast."

"I'm already making a plan on stopping them but I need more information. So as of right now, we won't be attacking them. If we do, we would go in blind. The only thing we need to worry bout right now is going to the council tomorrow. They won't attack right away anyways so we have a bit of time to get ready." Everyone nodded in understanding. I knew some weren't happy with waiting but since I'm giving the orders they can't go against it. They also knew that we don't have enough information on them anyways. Well, they think that we don't have enough information on them. I only told them what they needed to know now. There's still a bit more but now is not the time. They would only attack them without a plan. I didn't plan on attacking them anytime soon because I was not ready to lose most of my men in war. I know we won't win. At least right now we won't win. Time is all we need and I hope the time that we need isn't giving them what they need too.
