~Lucy's Pov~ 

I knew I was in my own mind. I was was along in some woods as I heard humming. I followed the sound to see a woman looking just like me knitting a scarf looking just like Natsu's. She soon turned her head smiling toward me. "Hello Lucy" she spoke as I was confused. "A-are you Anna?" I asked as she nodded as she was sitting on a rock. She moved one hand patting the rock next to her as I walked over sitting down next to the most powerful Celestail Spirit Wizard ever to live. "I wish my curse did not do this to you" she spoke having sadness in her eyes.

"I wish I was able to protect my friends one last time" I spoke smiling shocking Anna with my words as the scarf and knitting needles in her hands vanished as she grabbed my hands. "Why are you letting me gain control? This is your body" she asked as my smile turned small and sad. "I can't hold it anymore, the pain is too much. I-I'm scared" I answered honestly as she sighed putting a hand on my cheek. "Your memories faded away faster than I wanted, I was just able to learn them all" she whispered shocking me.

"Lucy you had to fall in love the E.N.D didn't you?" she soon asked as my eyes widen in some fear and shock. Then Anna's own memories flushed through me. N-Natsu was......oh god......I-I never thought he would.... "Lucy" Anna got my attention as she was smiling toward me, sadness in her eyes. "You ran out of time didn't you?" she soon asked as I nodded. "I have a request to ask, I know it will be selfish but....." I stopped myself from carrying one scared to even ask what my mind and heart wanted.

"But?" Anna asked sounding like a mother as I took a deep breath. "Can you wipe their memories, make them truly forget about me. I don't want them to suffer" I begged tears falling out my eyes as Anna was in shock staring toward me. "I should of just let them killed me and wipe everyone, I was selfish letting Natsu and Happy remember. Because of that they are in pain and suffering" I nearly shouted crying as Anna pulled me into a hug. I was crying into her shoulder as she rubbed me back.

She was holding me as if I was her daughter. "Is that truly your wish?" Anna asked as I nodded. She was able to feel it as she sighed. "I shall do it, I am so sorry this had to happen to you Lucy" Anna spoke as I pulled away wiping my eyes smiling. "I just wish, that one day if they remember, they can forgive me" I spoke as Anna put both her hands on my cheeks smiling right toward me. "You are a caring and amazing girl, I am proud and I know your parents would be to" Anna whispered making me smile even more.

"I can join them now, right?" I asked as Anna slowly nodded with a sad smile and look in her eyes. She was guilty. "Please when I'm gone, do one more thing and send them home" I spoke as I saw my own body starting to fade. "Lucy Heartfilla, I will grant both wishes, I will do even more and protect Fairy Tail" Anna nearly shouted crying herself as everything for me went black, cold and numb.

~Natsu's Pov~ 

Lucy's scent vanished as her eyes burst opening gasping for air as Irene had killed the Dark King as the figures were messing around with Mira who was in raged and crying. "Lucy?" I asked loudly and fast getting most people's attention. She had a sad look. "Lucy loved you very much Natsu Dragneel but my name is Anna Heartfilla of Zeref's army" she spoke as I let go of her hand my heart breaking into bits as I was staring toward her in shock. "Lucy wished until the very end to keep you and Fairy Tail safe" Anna spoke as I was shaking.

My eyes watering even more. L-Lucy was gone...."Anna, I never thought I would speak to you again" Irene spoke as Anna turned her head seeing Irene and rushing over hugging her. "Irene-Senpi!" Anna nearly shouted smiling as Irene smiled toward Anna. "You being in a younger body now makes me feel a tad better with you calling me that" Irene spoke as Anna laughed sounding just like Lucy. Just like her. "But now I got a promise to keep" Anna spoke letting Irene go turning around looking toward us.

"Figures of Hoods, I would leave before I end your lifes and you better go back into hiding for what you put Lucy through" Anna then spoke harshly as the Dark Celestail Spirits vanished into smoke as Anna walked over offering me her hands. "Lucy was smiling to the very end" she spoke as it was what I told Lucy about Eclair when she died. My tears got worse as I hugging myself crying. "This is why she wants me to do this, she doesn't want you to suffer anymore because of her" Anna whispered as I shook my head.

"I never suffered because of her, s-she made me happy, she made me into a better person" I nearly shouted as Anna had a sad look on her. "I wish I could bring her back but she is with her mother again" Anna spoke touching my head smiling as I blacked out.

~No One's Pov~

Anna had kept her word. She sent the others home and wiped everyone's memories of Lucy Heartfilla. Even Natsu could no longer remember the blonde Celestail Mage. Anna had joined Irene into Zeref's army as soon the war between Zeref and Fairy Tail was about to begin.
