I honestly hope this won't be the case. Just no Lucy in this issue. I've had enough of her, I want to see Natsu as a person with his own past and hardships to face, without her being forced into every plot possible. There are so many great characters Natsu has interesting relationships with, so many characters with little development, there's no need for Lucy's "outstanding presence" in every issue possible. She has had lots of character development, we know a lot about her parents, her past, about her spirits. Fairy Tail has existed long before she joined the guild, so I'm more interested in other guild members and in their years-long friendships. Heck, I'm (besides FT members with long membership) way more interested in Gajeel, one of the less developed characters - we know very little about his past. As I said, now that we have Zeref, let the issue be settled between Natsu, Zeref and Gray.

Sorry for ranting, but this is getting ridiculous ;(
