Lucy's POV
As I walked through the large hallway to the Royal Defense Council Room, I couldn't help but be nervous. Even though I have been training since I was 5 years old its not like I hope for a threat to come to my kingdom every day. When I reached the large doors and reached to open the door, I hesitated. What if I can't do it? What if they're too strong for me? As hundreds of questions flowed through my head forcing me doubt myself and completely "flip shit". I collapsed to the floor and started to hyperventilate. But then I remembered the words of my beloved mother.
xxFlashbackxx
In the gardens of the castle behind the large cherry blossom tree sat a beautiful little girl at the age of 5 crouched in a ball crying.
"Lucy?" An older, but equally enchanting woman said. "I've been looking for you darling." She said with a smile.
"Mommy, why do you have to go? Why can't you stay here with me? I am your daughter, we're supposed to stay together, right?" The sad girl said.
"Oh Lucy, when you become queen you will understand the responsibility and duty you have to your subjects. At first you might be scared and want to seclude yourself away from the evil that threatens you, but you must realize that if you are to hide who will protect the other children and their mommies'? That is why I have to go, but I love you Lucy and I fight for the things I love." She said while holding the young girl close to her.
"I love you too mommy."
xxFlashbackxx
With remembering the last memory of my mother, I got up straightened my dress and pushed the doors open making quite an entrance if I do say so myself.
"Your majesty, we have been waiting for you." Said General Capricorn.
"From which direction is the enemy approaching" I said with authority.
"East milady." Said Loke, my most loyal and powerful knight and friend.
"In that case the plan will b-."
CRASH! A loud explosion was heard outside along with screams of innocent citizens. The look on my face dropped. No! They're already starting their attack!
"Change of plans Sagittarius you will set up archers at all the high locations in the center of the city, Virgo you will guide the closets citizens to the underground tunnels. Loke, Scorpio, and Taurus help the other citizens that cant go to the tunnels out of the city, Aries aid the citizens that get out, and Capricorn contact Aquarius and tell her that we need to contact and ally that will aid us in this troubling time." I surprising formulated a plan in my head and kept a calm composure at the same time.
"Your majesty what about your." Said Virgo worriedly.
"I am going to use every ounce of power I have to ensure the safety of my kingdom and fight off the enemy myself, but the ones that get past me the archers are to take them out."
"That is extremely reckless, Lucy!" Loke hollered.
"No it isn't. Its selfish. Because I love my kingdom, my citizens, and all of you. And I protect the things I love! Now go to your stations!" I said.
"Yes your majesty!" They said in unison.
They all rushed out giving me worried glances. I grabbed Capricorn's arm before he could get passed me.
"Is there something wrong, milady?" He said with concern in his voice.
"If…If anything…If I don't come back…I want you to take care of my mother and I's kingdom."
"Lucy don't-"
"You're the one that I trust to uphold our ways and traditions! Please…just say you will."
"…I will do my very best to fill the void you leave behind if you do not return, but please be careful."
"I will. Thank you, Capricorn." I said with a sad smile. He simply smiled and nodded and departed to fulfill his order. Now alone I walked out to the balcony to take in the destruction. It appeared as if the almost the entire east side of the kingdom was engulfed in flames.
"Mommy, please lend me strength to defeat this foe." And with that I jumped off the balcony towards my destination.
? POV
I know for a fact he was seen here so where is he! I screamed in my head while crumbling another building with one punch. Y'know this is a pretty nice place, well was before I got here.
"Help! Help! Mommy! Daddy! Where are you!" A little boy said, crying. He seemed to be stuck under a rock. I know I'm causing destruction but I'm not trying to kill people. I started running over to him to help him out.
"Hold on I'll help yo-" I was cut off when I got a very powerful kick to the face. I went skidding across the ground and into some rubble. What the hell?
"Little boy are you okay?" I heard a delicate voice say. I looked up to see possibly one of the most beautiful women I have ever seen. She had a silver chest plate on that I'm sure was custom because in fit her curves perfectly she had a short-sleeve white and gold dress on under it with brown knee high boots and matching brown long gloves.
She lifted the rock with surprising ease.
"Young boy head toward the west gate and find Sir Loke tell him I sent you and he will help you."
"Thank you, your majesty." He said with a beaming smile and ran off the directions she told him. She turned toward me with a completely different expression of seriousness and anger. But all I could look at were her velvet brown eyes narrowed at me and her long golden locks that were gathered in a ponytail.
"Who are you?" she said.
"My name is Natsu Dragneel." I said.
"Where is the rest of your army." She said.
"What army? I came here alone." A look of shock came over her face but only for a second.
"In that case why are you here?" she said.
"I'm here for Igneel I was told he was spotted here" another shocked expression came over her face as she took a step back and clutched a necklace that I didn't notice before. She must know where Igneel is judging by her reaction. And with that I ran at her with a flaming fist.
"You know where Igneel is, don't you! Tell me!" she blocked my attack and ignored my question taking a battle stance.
"I will not allow you to destroy me kingdom any longer!" She said as light began to surround her.
"Essence of life!" she shouted and a large beam came shooting out of her hands. I tried to dodge it but it followed me and sent me flying into a building. Damn she's strong. I defiantly didn't expect this from her. Well no more underestimating. I jumped out at ran right towards her.
"Fire Dragon: Wing Attack!" I hollered and sent her flying but she came right back.
"Steller Fist!"
"Fire Dragon: Iron Fist!" Or fists connected and sent both of us flying backwards. When I got up I saw her with her hands in the air and looking up then she started to chant.
"Survey the Heavens, Open the Heavens…
All the stars, far and wide…
With such shine.
Oh Tetrabiblos…
I am the ruler of the stars…
Aspect become complete…
Oh thy malevolent gate.
Oh 88 stars of the heaven…
Shine!
Urano Mentria!"
It was as if stars came crashing down on me. I tried dodging all of them but I got hit with more than I'd like to admit. When the attack stopped and the smoke finally cleared I had new cuts and bruises and I saw girl on one knee panting hard. That must have been a hard attack for her. Now my chance to attack. And with that I rushed forward and let out a string of flaming punches and she took every one.
"Fire Dragon: Roar!" I yelled trying to finish her off.
"Heavens deflection!" she yelled and a glowing wall came in front of her. When my attack hit it, it came right back at me.
Lucy's POV
"Heavens deflection!" I yelled. Take him out with his own attack. I smirked. But then I saw the fire get absorbed by something. When it clear I saw that he ate the fire.
"What the hell!" I yelled.
"You can attack me with fire all you want but it will never work!" he said with a smirk. "As much as I've loved this I don't have a lot of patience so why don't you just tell me where Igneel is." He said.
What does he want with Igneel? That doesn't matter this guy screams crazy and I won't betray Igneel.
"Constellation blast!" I yelled and various gold orbs went straight to him. He got hit once, but dodged the rest and made his way towards me.
"Fire Dragon: Brilliant Flame! This ends now!" He came at me with a giant fire ball.
"The Heaven's Light!" An equally large ball of light appeared and I came at him with it. "I will protect the things I love!" When we finally collided there was an enormous explosion that shook the whole country.
Natsu's POV
There was a loud explosion. It sent me flying back. I hit the ground but managed to stop myself from skidding. When the smoke cleared I saw her just standing there with a look of shock, fear, and disappointed all in one. She was cover in cuts, dirt, and bruises. She fell to her knees and looked at the sky.
"Ev-er-yone, I'm s-sorry. I-I failed you. I'm s-sorry…Mother." And with that she collapsed. As I made my way to her I couldn't help but feel a little bad. I crouched down and picked her up with ease and slung her over my shoulder. She knows where Igneel is. She can help me find him. But I guess for now I should leave her kingdom, I've done enough damage. And I walked out with the girl in my arms. Igneel.
