Carla suddenly went silent seemingly surprised. Unbeknownst to them, she is seeing a vision from the future and in this future, she saw an injured Lucy clad in an armor wielding a huge sword kneeling in the ground as she looks into her enemy. Blood drips from her mouth. The scenery is very ominous. Dark clouds are looming the sky. Carla, then, tried to focus on seeing this adversary. Trying to peer more into this vague figure, she saw its eyes locked into hers.
She was jolted awake. 'It looked at me. How? Who? What is that?' She looked at Lucy shocked.
"Ok guys, you're overreacting! For now, can we go inside?" Lucy said as she calmed the trio pleased.
Carla, trying to clear her mind, quietly led the group to the Lamia Scale's headquarters. 'What is going on? What is that?'
After the event, Natsu talked to Wendy and Carla about Fairy Tail's return. Unfortunately, Wendy refused to go back to Fairy Tail. In the middle of the night, a riot happened. It got chaotic luckily it was easily resolved by Natsu overpowering the enemies.
Lamia Scale accepted the reality that Wendy will, one day, return to Fairy Tail. They ensured Wendy about it.
Wendy and Carla parted with Lamia scale and went with the group.
'Everything went almost exactly the same as the previous timeline.' Lucy thought.
There is both a bad and good thing about it. The bad thing is nothing changed and it might still point to the destruction of everything. The good thing, however, is that there's no tragic hidden variable yet to pop out. Since nothing had changed, they can prepare for the worst possible outcome.
Seeing Lucy in daze, Natsu went face to face with her. "Lucy... Where are we going next?"
"Kyaaahh". Seeing Natsu right in front of her face, she was startled and slapped Natsu in the face while blushing. 'Yep, nothing changed'.
"Hey, what was that for?" Natsu angrily responds while massaging his bulged cheeks.
"You should know. Hmph. Well, let's see... West of here, there is a small town called Sea Hare Village but, due to some phenomenon, it was being called now as Rainfell Village."
"Phenomenon?!" "Are there many fish there?"
Lucy facepalmed at Happy's remark, "Well, it seems that it never stops raining there"
"Rain??? You mean to tell us..." "No fishes?"
"You'll know when we get there" Lucy smiled mysteriously to both of them. 'I miss you Juvia.'
Arriving at Sea Hare Village...
They went inside the town. "I can smell Juvia's scent. It's this way."
Sitting at a bench, a girl with azure blue hair wearing a sapphire blue coat drenched with rainwater can be seen.
"Hey~ Juvia~!!" Natsu greeted jovially but greeted by a launched hug from Juvia.
"Gray-Sama~~<3. Juvia missed you." Juvia said as she thought of Gray returning.
"Whops stop right there missy. Yo, been well?" Natsu blocked the incoming Juvia with a smile on his face.
"Natsu-san... Lucy and Wendy, too" Juvia woke up in her daze. Seeing familiar faces, Juvia's pent up emotions finally been released and she collapsed. They hurriedly carried her inside the house and Wendy took care of her immediately as she noticed her high fever due to being exposed to the heavy rain.
"I can smell a bit of gray here" Natsu noticed as he went looking inside the house.
"Juvia has been living here with Gray" She said while heavily breathing. "The two of us together <3"
"That is quite a smug grin you got there." Lucy was still worried even though she already knows this would happen. But, unlike others, she already composed herself. She took out a silver key. "Open, Gate to the Lyre Key. Lyra"
"Lyra, can you play a song for Juvia?" As Lucy continued to train, the capabilities of her celestial spirits also grew. Lyra can move one's heart by listening to her music before but right now Lyra can affect and lift a person's mentality and spirit. Along with Wendy's healing, as Juvia's mentality and spirit raised, her recovery also hastened.
Wendy and Juvia were enthralled by Lyra and her music. They marveled at its effect.
Juvia begins telling everyone how she and Gray have been living together and that one day Gray started going out for an errand on his own more and more and that it's already been almost half a year since he last came back.
"Juvia tried to walk around to look for him but I can't find Gray-sama anywhere so Juvia decided to wait here where all our memories together are." Tears begin to fall on Juvia's eyes.
"Don't worry. I'll drag him back here. I'll find him no matter what it takes. I'm gonna bring all of them together and revive Fairy Tail." Natsu clenched his fist looking very determined.
"Ohh?? So what's your plan?" Lucy raises her eyebrows as she asked Natsu with a smile.
"I'm going to Sabertooth. If I recall, it was pretty close by, wasn't it?" Natsu looking outside the window missed Lucy's smile.
"I see. You'll search for Rogue and get his mission to find Gray." Lucy revealed Natsu's plan even before he can explain it.
"How-" Natsu was shocked that Lucy knows what he thought of.
"Well, I do know where Gray is." Lucy shrugged.
"I knew it. You're his mistress. Gray-sama is betraying me to meet you. Waaaahhh", Natsu was confused at what's happening but quickly got shut down by Juvia's whining before even got the chance to ask.
"It's not that, you idiot." The paper fan magically appeared as she smacked Juvia in the head.
"Umm.. Lucy-san. Juvia-san is still sick so - uhmmm-"
"Oh so she can't come with us to find Gray then?" She said while teasing Juvia.
"Juvia's already healthy!"
"*sighs* For now, you can rest well. We'll just wait here until tomorrow. Then, it will be time to proceed with the plan. Unlike you guys, I do keep in touch with the others." She said as she brought out a magical device in her pocket.
"Code Orange, this is Code Yellow. I got them all here now. Execute ASCENSION OF FAIRIES"
