I'm Not A Weakling (Book 2)

Chapter 8.5

Yo, minna!

This chapter is going to be about Sabertooth. I backtracked back to the part where Sting and Rouge left Natsu with "dead" Lucy to go back to Sabertooth. 

Enjoy!

     Sting and I went back to Crocus with our Exceeds on the train. We didn't talk throughout the entire trip. Lector was crying himself to sleep on Sting's lap, while Frosch was lying on my head mumbling, "Lucy i-is the P-Princess of S-Sabertooth. F-Fro thinks so too." I lifted Frosch off my head and placed him on my lap. He stopped mumbling and went to sleep. I looked up to Sting, who was sitting directly across from me. "Come on guys. Lucy wouldn't have want us to be sulking around now. We should move on. That's want she would've wanted from us." Sting looks up from a crying Lector and smirks at me.

      "For a depressing guy, you can make a pretty good pep talk."

     "Shut up Bee!" I punched the side of his head. "Ow." He started to rub his head.

     We reached the guild and stood at the door. "Ready to tell them the news?" Sting asked. I shook my head. "I don't think any of us are." Sting nodded in agreement and opened the door. Everyone stared at us. Rufus was the first to walk up to us. "Sting, what happened? If memory serves me right, you always kick open the door every single time. Also, wasn't Lucy with you guys?"

     Lector and Frosch woke up from their sleep and looked around. "Lucy!" They both started to cry again. Rufus was taken by surprise with their reaction. "Rouge, what happened?" I stared at the floor for a while, then finally looked up.

     "Lucy's dead."

     After a long explanation, the guild was shocked and depressed about Lucy's death. 

     "Where's Master and Minerva? They should know about this." I said, looking around the guild for them. Rufus looked down. "Apparently, when Master found out that we tied with Fairy Tail in winning the Games, he and Minerva left without notice. So, we are a guild without a master." Everyone was silent for a moment, until Sting jumped up onto a table. 

     "Why are guys sulking? Besides Lucy's death, we should see the good in their absence. Think about it. When Yukino died, Master didn't care about it. He doesn't care about the guild's well being! Instead, we shouldn't grieve about this, we should start anew. Build a guild that cares for everyone and their nakama! Lucy would've wanted us to move on and live a happy life." Everyone was stunned by his pep talk. Rufus and I looked at each other. "Are you thinking what I'm thinking?" Rufus nods and says, "He's right. We shouldn't be grieving, Lucy's sake and the guild's!" The guild erupted into cheers of agreement. I jumped up on the table with Sting. I grab his wrist and raised it high into the air.

     "Everyone, meet our new guild master, Sting Eucliffe!"

Looks like Sting's the new guild master. Ya think Sabertooth's going to become Fairy Tail II when Sting's in charge?
