Author's Note: Yuuki here! Frankly, this is my first fanfic and I'm not sure what to think about it. I just hope it's not THAT bad... Well, enjoy! :)
Summary: It's the day of the Acnologia's attack on Tenrou Island. Fairy Tail members gave it their all but they still weren't able to defeat their greatest enemy. It's time for them to cast their defensive magic. But why is Lucy not helping her friends? And where is she heading to?
Chapter 1 : Descending chaos
Monstrous silhouette of absolutely unharmed Acnologia, the Dragon of chaos, was overshadowing the sun. It's sight sent chills down to the bottoms of hearts of Fairy Tail members.
"It's as healthy as ever!" exclaimed Elfman with slight desperation. Wendy, already on her knees from exhaustion voiced everyone's shocked thoughts. "Even though we gave it all we had... Even with the power of three dragon slayers, even with concentrating entire guild's power..." One tear slowly ran down her cheek.
Acnologia was already preparing for the last attack – it's Roar. "Don't tell me it's planning to wipe out the whole island!" cried Cana.
Refusing to get lost in hopelessness , Erza started giving out orders. "EVERYONE WHO CAN USE DEFENSIVE MAGIC, GO FULL POWER!" " Focus all your magic power on Fried and Levy!" shouted Lisanna. "Everyone hold hands!" suggested Mirajane. "Let's show this creature the bond of our guild!" joined Gray taking Juvia's hand.
Courageous Fairy Tail members started forming a circle by linking their hands along with their hearts and magic power. Only one person left until the completion of circle...
Lucy wasn't paying attention to her surroundings. Her eyes were solely locked on the dragon, who was still drawing in magic power for the attack. There was something about that cruel monster... A thought started to form at the back of Lucy's mind. I … know that dragon! She thought with shock. Key... This is the key! Suddenly Lucy was overwhelmed by flow of knowledge, strange memories and power. Her body was now giving off a soft glow. That's right... I am...!
She stood up and looked right at a little girl she had never seen before and instantly knew it was Mavis, the founding master of Fairy Tail. Somehow she knew what Mavis was planning to do. She won't make it in time.
With that, Lucy walked right up to Gray and Natsu, who were holding their hands out to her, beckoning her to take them. She caught their wrists and made them hold each others hands. Confused, they looked at her.
She just shook her head while smiling sadly and stood in front of Natsu, looking into his eyes. "Luce what are you doing? Hurry up and take my hand." He was trying to let go of Gary's hand. It was useless, she knew, because when she held their wrists, she sent her magic power into their hands, making them unable to let go.
Gently she touched Natsu's right forearm, which was now desperately shaking in effort to let go of Gray. Lucy slowly breathed out and with that, black rune tattoo started to appear on his skin.
She withdrew her hand and turned her attention from her work. "This will help you find Igneel." she calmly told the dragon slayer. Once again, he appeared confused.
Lucy couldn't hold it in anymore. Tears started to roll down her cheeks as she hugged the fire mage. Before she let go of him, she whispered into his ear what she was unable to tell him until now. She smiled at him, trying to make her smile full of love instead of sadness.
She couldn't speak anymore so she just walked into the centre of the circle ignoring pleading cries of her friends and she took off the ground. She flew right into the direction of Acnologia. Right into the clutches of death she thought bitterly, while she was silently praying for safety of her second family, the Fairy Tail.
