Tricked

Summary: Lucy goes on a mission with her team and all evidence says that she is dead, but they were not expecting this to happen.

~Hello I hope you enjoy and leave a comment~

NOTE: Lucy will not be called weak by her team in this!

This will be a LALU

(Lucy's POV)

I was sitting at the bar going about my normal everyday business. Thinking about how annoying it was this morning when I found Natsu in my bed and Happy slept on my face and that some of my stuff was burnt and to top it all off my fridge was empty, they don't know the meaning of privacy. How does he even get in? I will have to inspect my apartment when I'm alone in it, if that is even possible since there's always someone from my team is always there.

"Hey Luce, let's go on a mission" Natsu put an arm around my shoulders, giving me the fright of my life as I was not paying attention because I was so deep in thought. I looked at him a bit annoyed at being startled, but it wasn't his fault so I gave him a smile.

"Sure. Which one do you want to go on? You go and pick one and I'll go and get Erza and Gray, Wendy is on a mission with team shadow gear right now so she can't come" I told him. I really hope that I won't regret letting him choose the mission.

I walked over to Gray who was taking off his shirt even though he didn't realise this himself.

"Gray, Natsu is choosing a mission, are you coming?" i asked him, he nodded while taking his pants off. "Gray, at least leave your pants on" he looked at me confused so I pointed at him and made him realise that he was stripping, once again. But that's no surprise.

"Well would you look at that" he said as though he wasn't going to do anything about it. I narrowed my eyes. There are children in this guild!

"Put you clothes on or I will call Juvia" I threatened. His eyes went wide with horror and he scrambled for his clothes. I giggled and went to Erza who was enjoying her usual cake. She looked like she was off in dreamland.

"Erza me, Natsu and Gray are going on a mission, would you like to come?" I asked. She snapped out of her little land of cake and looked at me.

"I would love to come Lucy, I shall go get ready immediately" and with that she ate the remaining bite of her cake and left the guild to go get her cart.

"Lucy! I found one!" Natsu came running towards me with a flyer. I took it from him and inspected it. We had to capture a group of mages. The reward was 250 000 jewels.

"Is it ok?" he asked me. I nodded my head. I guess I won't regret him choosing the mission.

"It seems to be fine, but we'll have to ask if the client knows what type of magic the mages use" I told him. He nodded enthusiastically and ran, grabbing Happy by the tail when he passed him, and went to go get his stuff.

I went to my apartment and packed my bag. Since it was still morning we decided to leave as soon as we could. Once I was packed I ran to the train station and met Natsu and Happy on the way to the station. We arrived just in time.

We boarded the train with lots of complaints from a certain someone. I was blocking Natsu's whining out when I heard a clunk. I didn't have to look to know that Erza knocked him out. It was her way of showing love, I think.

We arrived at the quaint little town of Teed and, as usual, I was given the annoying task of carrying Natsu. Erza is the one who knocked him out, not me! Or maybe Happy should carry him because he is his partner. But no, he just flies around my head making fun of me. We walked up to the Mayer's house with me walking behind because of Natsu who isn't as light as he looks. When we arrived, I just dropped him; my back was now in pain thanks to him.

The Mayer was an ordinary looking man who was wearing a grey suit. He told us that he was aware that one of the mages used barrier magic. And he wasn't sure what the others used but he thinks that one of them uses memory manipulation. He showed us a piece of material that the mage left behind. Apparently they have been bothering residents and tricking them and stealing. A guard dog managed to get a piece of one of their clothes.

We thanked they Mayer for his co-operation and left to go follow the scent. I found it quite amusing to see Natsu sniffing around but I wouldn't tell that to him. We managed to find an old shack in the woods, it was creepy looking. It was relatively well hidden.

"So I see they sent mages after us" we heard a voice. We saw multiple copies of the same person so we came to the conclusion that the remaining mage had a type of magic that made it so that he was able to create copies of himself. I'll have to ask Levy-chan about this magic when I get back.

"Yes, too bad they won't catch us" another one said. He was next to another guy who was staring at me. It was creepy.

"I say we take out the blonde first" he said.

All of a sudden my keys where gone. One of them had a type of teleportation magic. I was about to regroup with the others when a black barrier appeared all around me. There was no way out and I couldn't feel my magic. I guess it cuts off your magic too.

Natsu's POV

Lucy was about to come and regroup because she had her keys taken away. We discussed this with the team, whenever someone ran out of magical power or, in Lucy's case, their equipment got taken away, we would regroup so that the team could protect each other. I watched as black walls appeared around her. I was about to run towards her to try and break the barrier when I found that I couldn't move. It felt like there were invisible walls all around me. This is a pretty damn handy magic to have. I saw that ice princess and Erza were in the same situation as I was. I heard screaming from Lucy and began thrashing against the barrier that was holding me back. But it was hopeless.

We watched as the bandits laughed hysterically at us and then the disappeared. The barriers vanished. We ran over to Lucy and stopped and gasped in horror. We were too late. There lying on the ground was Lucy's lifeless bloody body. We were too late.

Please tell me what you think

Is it worth continuing?
