Okay everyone, I know I am writing several stories at this moment, and none of them are finished, BUT no matter how hard I tried, I could not get this idea out of my head. I hope you all enjoy! This story takes place before Juvia and Gajeel join,

Lucy Heartfillia grinned happily into the bright blue sky above. Life seemed so perfect. She had joined her dream guild, Fairy Tail, made some new friends, and she has been getting stronger every day. True she wasn't anywhere nearly as strong as Gray, Natsu, or Erza, but being the strongest never truly mattered to her, she just wanted to be strong enough to protect those who she cared about.

As Lucy dragger her suitcase behind her, she smiled down at the small money pouch she had connected to her belt, which held the money from her recent solo job. She now had enough to pay her rent!

Sadly, the train had broken down in the town she was in, so she had to walk back to Magnolia. Though it wasn't to bad, it was only a town over and would take only an hour or 2 to walk back. So Lucy took that as her chance to take in the silence and fresh air.

Or… at least the fresh air.

Lucy jumped in surprise at the sound of a large explosion not to far away. Smoke began to fly above the trees and into the sky.
"What was that?" Lucy muttered softly, staring at the dark cloud of smoke. "I hope no one got hurt from that!" Lucy gasped, running forward to inspect the scene.

Lucy ran past several trees, desperately trying to reach where the smoke was coming from. "Hello?" Lucy called as she ran into a small clearing. As Lucy looked around she spotted the source of the smoke.

It was near log cabin just ahead, which was now ablaze with flames. "If only Gray was here." Lucy said softly as she dropped her suitcase to the ground and ran forward. "Hello! Anyone here!" Lucy yelled, stopping in front of the house.

How did this fire start? "Hello-"

Lucy gasped at the sound of laughter. "Silly Fairy Tail mage. You speak of strength, but you do not know the true meaning of the word."

Lucy dove behind a barrel in a panic. Wait… strength?

Lucy looked over the barrel to see 2 figures within the smoke. One stood tall, his arms cross, laughing mockingly. While the other laid on the ground, breathing heavily, as if in pain.

"What's going on here?" Lucy thought, confused.

"Now, for your rash actions towards others, I punish thee. Hopefully this will help you learn your lesson." As the smoke cleared Lucy could see the figures.

One wore a dark trench coat, with a mask covering their face. Lucy could only watch, confused, as the stranger lifted up their hand and pointed their finger at the other.

The one of the ground was motionless, unable to even cry out for help.

Their blonde hair stuck to their blood and sweat covered face, theirs eyes dark with pain and anger. Their cloths were ripped to shreds and several wounds covered their body.

"Wait… is that-" Lucy's eyes widened. Was that Laxus on the ground!

Laxus Dreyar? The strongest mage in Fairy Tail… was on the ground, about to be defeated.

Who is that masked men? How could he have possible defeat Laxus.

Lucy snapped out of her thought as a strange glowing beam shot out from the masked man's finger, and impacted against Laxus's chest.

Laxus's pain filled cry filled the clearing.

Lucy had to help him! "STOP!" Lucy yelled, running out from behind the barrel to pull out her keys. "Don't you dare touch him!" Lucy sprinted forward, stepping in front of Laxus to stop the attack.

The beam instantly disappeared and the masked man stared at Lucy, as if in shock. "A girl?"

Lucy held up her keys. "Who are you? What do you intend to do to Laxus!" she demanded.

The masked man took a step back to examine Lucy more closely. "I see, you're from the same guild as Laxus Dreyar." The man chuckled. "This is perfect, I sense great light and power from you. You shall fit perfectly."

"What?" Lucy asked, confused. "What do you mean by that."

'I leave Laxus and his fate to you, Lucy Heartfillia!" The man lifted up his hand, as if to wave good bye.

"Wait! Who are you! How do you know my name!" Lucy demanded! It was too late though, the man had all ready disappeared into the smoke.

Lucy stood in shock, not quite processing what had just happened. Laxus's fate? What was that about?

Laxus!

Lucy whirled around and ran to the older mage, gently picked up his head. "Laxus! Hey! Are you okay?" she asked.

Laxus slowly opened his eyes to stare up at Lucy weakly. "…You're…"

"Lucy Heartfillia." Lucy smiled softly down at him. "Come on, we have to get you some help!" Lucy gasped, trying to lift Laxus up. "I can't do that alone though." Lucy said quickly, realizing Laxus was much to heavy for her. "I open, gate of the golden bull, Taurus!" Lucy yelled, turning the key.

A small bell could be here, and the large bull man appeared.

"I shall protect you and your perfect body Lucy!" Taurus instantly yelled as he landed in front of her.
"Yeah, that's great." Lucy deadpanned. "I need your help Taurus, Laxus is hurt. Can you help me carry him?"

"Yes of course!" Taurus grinned. "I shall protect your body from any type of stress!" Taurus yelled, lifting Laxus's body up. Taurus paused to stare down at him. "He is very hurt." He muttered softly.
"Yes, we have to hurry. I think there should be a town near by." Lucy eyes grew wide with worry at Laxus's beat up shape. Who was that guy? Why would he wish to attack Laxus like that?

Laxus's head leaned against Taurus's shoulder, his eyes closed and his breathing heavy with exhaustion.

"Let's go!" Lucy said, and Taurus nodded.

As the two ran through the forest, heading towards Magnolia as fast as they could, Lucy couldn't help but wonder what Laxus was doing out here. Maybe that log house was his home, or he was on a mission.

She would have to ask him later.

"There!" Taurus yelled, pointing to the entrance of Magnolia. Lucy smiled as they entered the town. Hopefully they would make it to get Laxus some help.

As Lucy and Taurus sprinted through the streets of Magnolia, several citizens stopped to stare at them in wonder.

"Was that Lucy Heartfillia?" A women asked as they passed.

"And what is that thing next to her?"
"A bull maybe." Another shrugged.

"Is that Laxus Dreyar it's carrying? He looks pretty bad!"

"Someone should go get the master! He will want to know!"

Lucy had to ignore the citizens gossip and chats, she had to focus on Laxus. "Quick, in here." Lucy said, opening the door to the Magnolia hospital. Taurus squeezed through the door, shocking several of the nurses who was standing inside.
"Excuse me! This man needs help!" Lucy yelled towards the doctors, who quickly jumped into action, playing Laxus on a bed to examine him.

As the doctors and nurses rolled Laxus away, Lucy fell silent.
"Lucy." Taurus said softly.

"Oh, sorry Taurus. Thank you for the help." Lucy smiled weakly up at him.
"Any time." The bull nodded.

"May I ask you one last favor?" Lucy asked.

Taurus blinked and nodded.

"Can you go to Fairy Tail and get the master, Laxus is his grand son and will want to know."

Taurus nodded, saluting slightly. "Of course! I will protect your amazing bodyyyyyyyyy!' Taurus yelled, running out the door.
"I don't know what that has to do with getting the master, but okay." Lucy sighed with a shrug. Lucy turned back to the nurses, not wanting to leave Laxus's side.
"Will he be all right?" she asked one of the passing nurses.

"It's too early to tell.' She said quickly before running off. Lucy looked down with a sigh. She would have to wait.

-Fairy Tail-

"Ha! Take that Gray!" Natsu laughed as he punched the ice mage across the room.

"Why you-" Gray hissed angrily.

"Honestly, can't you two stop fighting for at least 5 minutes?" Levi sighed at the two.

"Never!" they yelled, charging at each other again. Levy rolled her eyes at the two.

"Hey Mira, when will Lucy be coming back?" Happy asked.

"She should be returning today." Mirajane smiled, handing Happy his plate of fish.

"Aye!" Happy cheered, diving on top of the fish and sinking his teeth into the first one.

Levy chuckled at Happy but turned around at the sound of running

'Where is the master!" a voice bellowed.

Fairy Tail's eyes widened as a large bull came marching towards them.

"W-What the-" Alzack blinked, almost falling out of his chair.

"Taurus?" Erza questioned, stepping forward. "What are you doing here? Where is Lucy?"

"Lucy and her magnificent body is fine! But I need the master, it is of grave importance!" Taurus said quickly.
"Lucy's celestial spirit?" Gray questioned, pausing from his battle with Natsu.

"I am the master." Master Makarov said, stepping forward.

"Ah, it is you!" Taurus smiled, but instantly smiled. "You are the grandfather of Laxus Dreyar, correct?"

Makarov blinked. "Yes." He said slowly.

"Your grandson is in the hospital! My master and her lovely body found him on her way back to town, she asked me to come and get you! Laxus is very badly injured." Taurus said quickly.

Everyone's eyes widened. Laxus… was hurt and in the hospital?

Makarov seemed most at shock. His fatherly/grandfather worry came into his eyes. "Laxus." He said softly, running passed the bull celestial spirit and towards the hospital.

The rest of Fairy Tail followed quickly behind. Even if Laxus was a jerk to most of them… he was still a member of Fairy Tail and their Nakama!

Here we go, all done. Sorry if this seemed a bit rushed, hope you liked it!
