I do not own Fairy Tail and everything else that belongs to Hiro Mashima.
I sighed inaudibly as I looked around my empty apartment for the last time. I re-equip into a light gray, knee-length dress with a black sash, black mid-thigh shorts, and a small cloak that covered my shoulders with a hood. That's right, I used Erza's magic. It was actually pretty easy, since all I had to do was wrap my magic around the clothes I want to change and the ones I want to change into. I brushed my midnight black and mid-thigh length before putting it into a loose braid.
I looked around the empty room and found my special black gauze that Loki gave me from the Spirit World on the ground near the door. As I picked it up, my ice blue eyes (which are exactly like Black Rock Shooter's own except lighter blue and more like ice) glanced at the silver shackles on my wrist. The chains moved around but made no sound what so ever. It was the same with the ones on my ankles and other wrist. The chains weren't attached to anything, like Virgo's, but looked it's made of silver.
Tears started to fall from my face as I wrapped the gauze around my feet, since I couldn't use shoes. The finishing touch to my outfit was a simple necklace with a dragonfly on it that reached to just bellow my collar-bone. It's made of silver but the dragonfly is made of a beautiful ice blue crystal that matched my eyes. I wiped away my tears with the hand that used to have my pink Fairy Tail insignia on it.
Oh yeah, I forgot, my names Lucy Heartfilia, former member of Fairy Tail. As for the new looks, well, let's just say that my magic, that was now infused with all of my sadness and loneliness, changed my appearance to fit what I felt. See, the guild started to forget about me after Lisanna came back. I started taking solo missions that kept getting harder and harder to pay off my rent and to save up some pocket-money since I felt like I would need it soon.
The Team had abandoned me without knowing it and my place was slowly being filled by the kind, white-haired, ocean-eyed girl. The pain of being alone again started to fuse with my magic, making my appearance change with it. This all happed before the GMG. I was still with the people on the island since I snuck on board, but when everyone woke up, I quietly asked Master Mavis to erase my mark. She told me that she would, only after the GMG. I agreed with that and snuck back on board with the others while waving goodbye.
After we got home, I went to my apartment and found out about my dad. See, my skin had changed to a glowing, snowy white after my 20th solo mission and my hair changed after Master, or Makarov, announced the participants of the S-class exam. When I found out papa had died and saw all the gifts at home, I had screamed in sadness and agony as my eyes painfully changed into their color now. Sorry, but I don't want to tell how it actually happened, that would be too painful to re-live. It was also when these chains appeared.
3 days after that and after opening all the things papa got me, I left to go train. That's when I learned re-quip magic with the help of Capricorn. From Loke, Taurus, Sagittarius, and Virgo I learned how to use a katana, bow and arrows, daggers, shuriken, kunai, staff, Taurus's axe, Loki's rings and of course, these chains of mine (you'll find out later). They were also kind enough to give me all these items except for the axe, rings, and arrows.
The axe and rings because they're not mine and the arrows are made up from my own magic. They even taught me Equip magic which allows me to materialize any of my weapons by flicking my wrist or moving my arms. With the weapon's training also came the hand-to-hand combat training. At first I was so pathetic and slow except for my dodging and kick. My kick because I had A LOT of practice and I just used my gymnastics and dance skills that I learned when I was still in the mansion.
Now, I could punch a brick wall that is 5 feet thick and it will leave a hole in it easily plus run faster than Jet without breaking a sweat. Aquarius even helped me by making swim through her waters. Now I could swim through a tsunami.
I did this for 3 months and arrived back at the guild 3 days later since I was training in a forest that was next to the beach. Before I left the forest though, I had to put on 3 new links to each of my shackles. They were gold instead of silver and held back my magic by 96% since I would usually just use my daggers or equip my kunai and shuriken.
Summoning the rest of my weapons and using Buki yūgō* and Tenshi no Hane* need 4 of the links removed. Using Urano Metoria and summoning my spirits need 8 of the links removed since I could only use/summon them in their full power. I could also use Seishin yūgō* which allows me to have my spirits powers and some of their looks, but 10 links need to be removed; which means half a link from the remaining 4. If all of the links are removed, then I get to use something that I've been working on since my 10th solo mission.
I call it Tentai Satsugai*. I could use moves related to dragon slaying magic, like Celestial fist or more advanced moves. I could also replenish my powers by eating meteor dust which was constantly falling on Earthland thus allowing me to eat ANYTHING (I got this from my teacher who said that meteor dust is always falling on Earth from space). I could even eat other people's magic since that mage has been exposed to the dust.
Of course I had asked the Spirit King to use Seishin yūgō and Tentai Satsugai. I forgot to mention that I had never laughed or smiled since my first solo mission, only to my spirits plus only the Spirit King is allowed t get rid of the links depending on how much magic I would be needing in whatever situation I'm in.
Anyways, I didn't participate and stayed in the shadows as I watched Fairy Tail win the Games (Eclipse never happened and Master Jiemma is still alive and Minerva's still there). Right after that I had called Mavis and made her fulfill her promise, but not without promising her something in return…
Flashback
I walked into an alleyway in Crocus wearing my signature gray dress and hood. I pulled the hood down and looked around before making a soundproof barrier around me. "Alright Mavis, come on out and fulfill your promise" I said in an emotionless voice. Mavis appeared before me in a golden flash with a sad expression. "Are you sure about this, Lucy?" she asked me while looking straight into my eyes. I nodded and watched as she swiped her hand through the air and my mark disappeared in a shower of sparkles.
After that, Mavis tackled me, I didn't fall though, and started sobbing while I silently let my tears spill. I patted her head before an idea struck me and I pushed her away a little while kneeling down to her height. I wiped away her tears and gave her a genuine smile which caused her to stop crying and look at me with what looked like stunned admiration. "Mavis…" I said in a motherly tone which made her snap back to reality.
I held out my pinky and looked her in the eye again. "How about we make a promise that I will join a guild and when I do, I will tell you so that you can come visit me anytime you want, okay?" Her eyes started to water but took my pinky into her own and shook our hands up and down. "Deal" she said and I smiled one last time before letting go and walking away while putting my hood back on.
End of Flashback
Now here I am, walking to the train station with my hood up, which hid my face. People avoided me because of my chains which made me feel even sadder. I was still thinking about what guild to join when a flyer caught my attention. I went over and picked it up and began to read it to myself.
