Lucy's POV

I'm sitting at the bar. With a sigh, I let my head drop onto the countertop. I got no sleep last night. It's not helping that Natsu kept barging into my apartment. I groan. I think Mira was able to figure out something was up because she puts her homemade cinnamin honey tea in front of me.

"Lucy." I look up slowly, with an audible groan.

"Yes, Mira?" I ask. Mira watches me with concern evident in her eyes. She may not know the full extent of the strain I am being put through, but she's trying. Ever since Lisanna came back, Mira and I became closer.

"What's bothering you?" The take-over mage questions. I sigh.

"Is it that obvious?" I ask, plopping my head unceremoniously on my right hand, with my right hand elbow leaing on the bar.

"Lucy. You are more than obvious. Something is bothering you. What is it?"

"Last night, Natsu was talking to me about the team and how, with Lisanna back, not that I have anything against her, because believe me. I do not! I absolutely love Lisanna like a my baby sister. But he was saying about how the divisions between the job payments would become small, so he asked me to split off from Team Natsu and go solo." I sigh, sibbing the tea, knowing Mira's going to be furious.

"Lucy." Mira states, deathly calm.

"Hai?" I squeak, taking a peek to find her in her Take Over: Sitri Soul.

"Where is that bastard?" She asks, just as the doors slam open.

"There he is." I squeak before running off, not paying attention to where I was going until I slip and land on the floor.

"Lucy? Are you okay?" I look up at the sound of my name and what sounds like laughter. Sure enough. The Rajinshuu are sitting. At the table. Right in front of me. Where they got a perfect view. Of me falling on my rear. And they ask if I am okay?!

"Okay?! Does it look like I am okay?" I snap, radiating such a menacing aura that Mira turned around from lecturing a terrified Natsu to find out who that was.

Normal POV

To say she was shocked when she discovered the Celestial Mage glowing and on the verge of passing out is, to say the least, not what she expected. "Does it look okay when I just basically got kicked off my team? I'm sick of..." Lucy falls over, unable to finish her sentence. The next thing the guild is aware of is the Rajinshuu hovering over her, protectively, while Wendy attempts to heal whatever she can. Wendy sits at a booth with a perplexed expression.

"Wendy?" Wendy jumps when she hears the eldest Take-over Mage speaking to her softly. "What is it?"

"Lucy-san..." Wendy begins. "Umm. How do I explain this?" Wendy asks herself. "Mira-san. I need to run a few more tests before I can be certain on what is going on." Wendy finally decalres. Mira simply nods at the younger female's request.

"Freed-san. Bixlow-san. Evergreen-san. Can you please help me?" Wendy asks suddenly, looking at the Rajinshuu, hoping they understand she's trying to get them out of the guild to talk. They all nod slowly.

"Mira. We will be back to pay our bill. This is important." Evergreen says, pulling Bixlow and Freed out of the guild.

"Wendy. What is it?" Freed asks, looking at the child with great interest.

"I know what's wrong with Lucy-san. But I will talk to you with a few conditions." Wendy says, her face uncharacterisstically harsh. The Rajinshuu members can only nod, not wanting to deal with what occurred previously.

"Where is Lucy-san?" Wendy suddenly asks, before Freed runs inside to return with the unconsious Celestial Mage.

"Let's go to her apartment. Freed-san, could you please write ruins preventing anyone except Master and Carla, and prevent anyone from hearing the, what is most likely going to occur, yelling?" Wendy asks, looking at Freed hopefully. Freed nods, not wanting to anger the young sky dragon slayer.

~~Timeskip: Lucy's apartment: Wendy's POV~~

If I remember right, Grandine had said the same thing occurred to me when she had found me. My magic power had suddenly increased and I was able to learn dragon slaying. I was so lost in my thought that I didn't notice we had arrived at Lucy-san's apartment. Freed lays her down on her bed before writing quick, yet complex ruins.

"Wendy. Why didn't you bring Team Natsu?" Evergreen suddenly asks me.

"Etto...If they found out what was going on there is a few things that would happen. But before I explain anything. The conditions. One. You are not to leave. You need to hear everything. Two. You cannot tell A SOUL! Not Laxus. I will inform Master and Laxus. Three. Lucy needs to join the Rajinshuu. She is going to need a team behind her." I say, holding up three fingers. "That is all I am asking of you." She adds, still calm.

"We cannot promise about the team, but we can promise everything else." Bixlow says. I nod. If they can at least do that, then I could find her a proper team to help her.

"Then will you at least stay by her side for now?" I ask. The trio in front of me nod. "Thank you. Now as for what is happening with Lucy-san, she apparently had seals placed on her as a child. I do not know how many, but I do know this. If she doesn't have a team behind her to help her and calm her. Her magic will become so strong that it could even harm Master and Laxus combined." I explain, while looking at Lucy.

Normal POV

"What do you mean Wendy-san?" Freed asks curiously.

"I mean that with the amount of power she is gaining, she is going to disappear and will need a team of four with her. I will not be able to go with her. That is why I am talking to you three. I want...no she needs you three and Laxus with her." Wendy says, slowly.

"But why is that?" Evergreen asks, tilting her head.

"With the amount of power she is going to gain. She is going to become a Queen of the Stars. One of the most powerful mages in all of Earthland. And she needs some support behind her. More than what she has." Wendy says softly while running her fingers through Lucy's hair as she sits next to her on the bed. "Will you please help her?" Wendy asks, looking up with pleading eyes.

"Etto...Why us?" Freed asks. Suddenly a knock on the door is enough to send Wendy into a spiral of relief.

"Master and Carla is here with..."
