Chapter 1
A young lone woman was seen walking towards Hargeon, stumbling slightly, cursing and then walking on as if nothing had happened. She wore a cloak that covered her head, shading her face so that her eyes couldn't be seen. You could hear the soft clicking of heels against the cobbled floor as she walked.
A gust of wind blew against her, the cloak flew back like a super hero cape, exposing her outfit and knocking the hood off of her head exposing her golden locks and golden brown eyes and young face. She wore a black top that fell just below her navel with the words 'warrior' in white and gold calligraphy. Black skinny jeans covered her legs, except for the areas where rips exposed her pale skin. On her feet, she wore black ankle boots. A black belt with a key ring filled with 7 silver keys, 11 gold keys, 10 white keys and 10 black keys.
She walked until she came across a magic store and she removed her cloak and hung it over her arm whilst running her fingers through her blonde tresses.
"Hello there miss, how may I help you?" The clerk at the counter asked her.
"Uhm… do you by any chance have any gate keys, like celestial, angel or demon?" the girl asked timidly.
"Ah, we have one silver celestial key and one demon key would you like me to bring them out for you?" The clerk asked her with a kind smile.
"Yes please, if it isn't too much of a nuisance for you." The girl blurted out, blushing slightly.
A minute or so of rummaging around later the man returned with two slightly dusty boxes in his hands.
"Here you go. Oh, I also found this white key, not sure what it's for though." He says while pulling a single white key out of his aprons pocket and placing it on the counter beside the two boxes for the girl to look at.
"The Silver one is Nikola the little dog and the black one is Cerberus the guardian, I'm not sure what the white one is though." The young teen gushed in awe, exuberant about the idea of getting two or maybe three keys in one day.
"I'll give them both to you for 10,000 gems and throw the white key in for free, maybe you can wear it for a necklace." He offers with a smile shocking the girl.
"Are you sure sir, I don't mind paying another thousand." she says, feeling slightly guilty at getting such an important object so cheaply.
"I'm sure, this shop seldom gets any mages coming in anymore, this town is mostly merchants and non-magic using folk." He explains while gesturing to the old shop with a sad smile.
"Thank you sir, and good luck with your shop!" The girl chirped with a small wave as she grabs the three keys, throws the gems down, with the extra 1,000 and skips out of the shop with a smile on her face.
Girls' pov
Wow this is an angel key! I wonder who it is though. My eyes scan over the key until they lock onto a small carving of a halo over a pair of folded wings*gasp* this is an archangel these are rarer than the zodiac keys!
I walk forwards, my eyes focused on my key-ring that refuses to open. It finally opens, after a minute of struggling and I smile, slip my new keys on and make a mental reminder to make contracts with them later before re-clasping the keyring.
"omg, Becky have you heard that Laxus the Laxus Dreyar and the Thunder Legion are in town today after a mission they just completed!"
"omg Sarah yeah I like totally did, they are so cool and Laxus-sama is so good looking!"
I slowly walk towards the crowd of people until I see the object of every bodies fascination. The only female in the group fanning herself. There is something other worldly about her, possibly a fairy mage, she looked like a fairy, all she needed was a pair of wings and she would be set. One of the males had green hair to about his shoulders so glossy that it put hers to, which products does he use? He looked very strict, possibly a rune mage, I looked at his rapier. Yep definitely a rune mage. Another of the males had a jester's outfit on and a visor with five small totem dolls flying around him. Seith mage, no doubt about it. His tongue flapped out as he laughed at something the girl said. On his tongue was a symbol I would recognise anywhere.
Fairy tail…
The last male, a very tall intimidating looking individual whose presence screamed masculinity and leadership. He must be Laxus and the other three the thunder legion.
I stood there staring at the people who were obviously older than me by about 2 years and Laxus about 5 years, they continued walking towards the train station, when I realised I just happened to be in the way, yet my legs wouldn't move. I just stumbled and fell into the woman of the group who looked at me in shock
"oh my goodness I am so, so, so sorry!" I ramble while slowly getting back up.
"It's alright, are you okay" the woman asked with a kind smile on her face.
How embarrassing
"ugh yeah but I'm kinda lost, I'm trying to find a guild because I'm, well a wizard, uhm I mean mage…well done Lucy make yourself look like an idiot" I muttered the last part to myself, nobody could hear it anyway
Oops I forgot
My name is Lucifer star Heartfilia, yes I know my name sounds like a boy but I am actually named after the demon Lucifer, flattering I know. I am 13 years old and I left my father's house to join fairy tail. My father was against it, so I ran away, I wanted to be free like mama had been, not a caged animal, sold off to the highest bidder.
"ie…die…ndie…ondie…londie…BLONDIE!" a voice screams right in my face causing me to once again jump back and fall on my rump. Well done Lucy.
"uhm… sorry about that, so what were you saying?" I ask incredibly embarrassed.
"Why do I sense so much magic power from you?" the older blonde asks me.
"I don't know sparkplug, I'm only a key summoner. And for your information YOU'RE BLONDE AS WELL!"
"she got you there bossman." The seith mage comments.
I look at the other two and see that the fairy mage is trying not to laugh while the rune mage is deep in thought.
"*gasp* as in you can summon not only celestial spirits but angels and demons"
"yeah… it's not that strong like rune, seith, fairy or-"
I push out my magic, letting it feel Laxus'. His magic is exceptionally strong and old with it, beastly but not like take over magic. Must be dragon slaying, now I just gotta find out which element. I close my eyes and look at what his magic looks like. It sparks angrily. Lightning, of course. I open my eyes smile and finish my sentence
"- or lightning dragon slayer, second gen. but, yeah it's kinda strong. Holder magic is hard, because every single breath the spirit takes pulls on our magic so yeah" I finish nonchalantly with a shrug
All four of them looked at me with mouths agape.
"uhm, did I do anything wrong, sorry!" I exclaim, bowing.
"I like you kid" stated a deep voice, I looked up to see Laxus smiling down at before he ruffled my hair.
"you're from fairy tail, right?" I ask hopefully, although I already knew.
"yeah kid, the one and only." Laxus stated proudly.
"we are the thunder legion, my name is Evergreen, the oaf with the big tongue over there is Bickslow, the one with the green hair is Freed and the big guy behind me is Laxus"
Evergreen introduced before nodding at me as if to ask what my name was.
"Oh, my name I Lucifer but you can call me Lucy." I said quickly
"Miss Lucy, you are named after a demon? How rude." Freed asked.
"My father called me it after he saw me summon a demon" I said, my eyes down cast "but then my mama called me it as a joke, until she died" I finished off, sniffling slightly. I was quickly embraced by the fairy mage as she soothed me, rocking me slightly.
"A real demon, like Cerberus?" Freed asked, looking slightly shocked
"yeah, matter of fact I just got Cerberus' key, would you want to see?" I offered as Evergreen let go of me, patting me on the head affectionately.
"yes! Please" he exclaimed before rubbing the side of his arm awkwardly.
I grab my keyring and sort through all of my keys feeling a pulse of warmth coming from Aquarius
Be careful brat
"Hai, Hai, Aquarius they won't hurt me like he did, I hope" I telepathically whisper to the key. Finally, I see the key I was looking for in between Horologium and Nikola.
"Here you go Mr Freed" his eyes light up as they take in the key in my hand and quickly snatches it out of my hand
"Hey Lucifer, I just got an idea, would you want to join our guild?" Laxus says before adding "I'm sure gramps won't mind people sure will like you" while looking at Freed from the corner of his eye wearily.
"Are you sure people will like me, even with my nickname that the non-magic folk have given me?" I inquired
"uhm, it's was something like warrior of stars?"
"Warrior of stars… holder mage…Wait your starlit warrior as in the celestial wizard with nearly all of the zodiac keys, the one that the king of the celestial sprits calls dear friend?" Freed exclaimed. "uhm, people found out about that, I'm gonna have to talk to Jason about that?"
Once again they stared at me with mouths agape, eyes wide.
All of a sudden I was thrown over somebodies' shoulder with five giggling wooden blocks whacking me in the head.
"you my friend, are coming with us to fairy tail!" I look around to see Evergreen and Bickslow snickering. I sense an incredibly dark aura and look over to see Freed with his hair flying up behind him, surrounded in a dark purple and back cloud
Evergreen pov
"Laxus," Freed warned, staring at the blonde duo.
" yes Freed?" Laxus asked, jolting Lucy up and down on his shoulder, making her squeal before thumping him on the back with her fists.
"I would very much appreciate if you put my- the spirits kings friend down" Freed explained, I totally caught that slip up.
"yeah sure, good idea Freed, don't wanna be stabbed or anything" Laxus joked, obviously not knowing the real reason of Freed's anger.
"uhm… anyway! Everybody grab on I can't be bothered to take the train"
Lucy shot me a confused look as I motioned for her to take my hand, she is adorable and so young to have such a large magical presence, I mean she could only be around 12 or 13 years old. She grabbed my hand and then I grabbed Laxus, Freed grabbed Lucy's other hand and he then grabbed Bickslow who had his totems inside his jacket while his other hand grabbed Laxus. Basically we were standing in a circle holding hands or with the boys grabbing each other's wrists.
I felt a tingling sensation run through my body and I felt my magic reach out to it, feeling it surround me and warm me. Although I had done this many times with Laxus because he really didn't want people to know about his motion sickness and he loved making a big entrance to the guild. He is so ridiculous sometimes but at least he doesn't kick the door down like some people love to do *cough cough* Team Erza *cough cough*
Everybody is worried about Team Erza they are rarely ever in the guild because they are always on s-class missions but whenever they are in the guild they are horrible to whoever they deem weak, such as Levy, Warren or Wakaba. Erza is probably the worst, just because she had a crap childhood she thinks that everybody should baby her but nearly everybody here has bad pasts or comes from a broken family.
Take me as an example; my family never wanted me when they found out I was a girl with magic. They wanted a boy and they thought that magic was evil. When I first cast my stone eyes it was only on a mouse but my mother still beat me until I was black and blue, I passed out and the spell stopped. Laxus found me in the middle of the road, where my mother had left me, bleeding to death. He brought me to fairy tail, a family. Not only that but he saved me, I owe my life to him. Freed and Bicklsow's stories are nearly the same but Bicks probably had it the worst out of us except Laxus.
When I opened my eyes, I found us outside the guild which I now call home. I looked to my right to see Lucy looking up at the guild, most likely shocked. I slowly walk towards her and wrap my arm around her shoulders wow she has toned arms; I must ask what she does to work out
"It's amazing isn't it?" she turns towards me and nods her head furiously seriously she is absolutely adorable
Lucy pov
I looked back at Laxus, Freed and Bickslow.
"So uhm… Are we gonna go in or just wait out here?"
"We are waiting for something, ugh, here he comes." Just as Laxus had finished the sentence a very small old man opened the door and ran towards us. On his way he grabbed one of Bickslow's totems and they flew him up towards Laxus where he let go to land on his shoulders.
"My boy! You've returned, I thought you would never come back!" The obviously crazy old man cried hysterically
"Calm down gramps, we don't want you to have a heart attack, I've brought a new member" Laxus replied to the elderly man as he tried pulling him off his shoulders to no avail.
"A new member you say? Where?" As he asked that, his dark eyes scanned the area before landing on me "Ooh Laxus, she is a pretty one!"
"Uhm… Hi?" what the hell am I supposed to say?
"So, young one what is your name and how did you meet my Laxus?" I guess I said the right thing because he is smiling.
"No gramps, before you say anything I will not date her"
"*sweat drop* Uhm… my name is Lucifer, as in the demon, but you can call me Lucy. And I met Laxus when I walked into Evergreen today at Hargeon." I say hoping that he won't realize I didn't say my last name
"full name dear." fuck…
"Uhm…"
"Dearie, none of us will judge you for anything that your family has done in the past and only I want to know because I am the master but I will keep in confidential. Fairy tail is a family and we all stick together as a family even if your one didn't because that is the fairy tail way"
"Heartfilia" I mumble "Lucifer Star Heartfilia" please don't recognise it please don't recognise it please don't-
"Heartfilia!" Laxus screeched as he dramatically fell to the ground with the old man still sat on his shoulders. "Help meeee!" The old man squealed.
The door to the guild swung open once again to see the silhouettes of a group of four people walking out. Two girls and two boys.
"Ugh you absolute idiots. Are you still fooling around with the old man, huh? No surprise really after all you have nothing better to do" A woman with long red hair sneered at the group outside the guild.
"Or any other, nakama," she added, scoffing at the word
Her eyes scanned the area until they landed on me. Her eyes lit up
"You're going to join my team, your strong." She stated before looking at the master "You are going to stamp her then join her to my team" don't I get a choice in this? Ah screw it, I'm not doing it anyway.
"No" I reply cool and calm, I hope
"What?" she exclaims in bemusement as she whips her head towards me with fury in her eyes
*gulp*
"I'm sorry but I quite clearly said no, because I don't want to be in your team. I want to join the thunder legion" I said, thankful that I didn't stutter.
"Why?" one of the boys said as he stepped out of the guild to see that he had pink hair is that even natural? Who would die their hair pink? Especially a guy.
*sigh* I really do hate when this happens to me, I release my seal that helps me do the summoning spells like Urano Metria. I feel my hair lifting up and I am sure that my eyes are glowing gold like they normally do whenever I do this
"Did. I Fucking. Stutter?"
The second man laughed as he saw Natsu fall under the pressure of my magic
"She got you good salamander *puts hands together* * looks at me* now I don't want to have to force you little girly to come with us, I don't care about 'your flying hair and changing eye colour' magic trick but you will join our Team and if I have to, I will hurt you *sigh* I hate hurting kids"
"Ice Make; cocoon!" He shouts as a bubble of spiky ice surrounds me as the thunder legion look on in horror.
*smirk*
"demon fire; melt" I whisper as black fire slowly surrounds my hand and I punch the ice that surrounds me making it shatter on impact. aww is that it?
Nobody's pov
"Bruh. What a weak spell."
She says with a pout as she punches the ice mage in the face effectively knocking him out. The last shadowed mage gasped as she saw her teammate go flying and crash into the wall. She throws herself at Lucy screaming
"You bitch!" The now visible white haired, causing Lucy to sigh and wonder what she had done to deserve this. She extended her fist and braced her feet, waiting for the cat girl to slam into it.
"Lisanna!" the pink haired male shouted. Then he turned to Lucy with an evil glint in his eyes
"FIRE DRAGON— "he was cut off by my foot hitting him in the face
"Lucy kick!"
Lucy's pov
Slow clapping and a low, stretched out whistle was heard as I finished knocking those three out and straightened myself and sorted my outfit out. I turn to see the red haired woman leaning against the door frame with a predatory smirk on her lips as she clapped for me almost venomously. If that was even possible.
"Well, since you managed to take them out I guess it's my turn"
"Erza." The old man on the floor underneath Laxus warned her. Why haven't they gotten up yet?
"Oh shut up old man! Let me have some fun, sit back and enjoy the show Equip; Heavens wheel! Dance my swords"
Ah… so this is the mighty Titania that fairy tail is famous for. She has a simple magic really, after all I have also learnt it, just with my own little twist to it
"Equip; angel armour!" A bright light surrounded me which caused her to cover her eyes along with everyone ese. I knew exactly what I looked like because I have seen pictures, this armour is probably the reason for my nickname. I had a golden halo above my hair that was now a lighter shade of blonde which faded into white at the ends. I had on a swimsuit piece that exposed my stomach which made me slightly uncomfortable with a small tight skirt with a slit up either side of the leg How does she not mind exposing so much skin? On my back I had a pair of angel wings that were as long as I was tall and could be used to protect me from any physical attacks or as a cocoon to sleep in, which I had done plenty of times before…
What was weird about this armour though, was that the weapon that it came with was my scythe of darkness which I had lovingly called 'Shi no hakobi-te' which meant 'bringer of death' although I love this weapon I really think that it should switch places with the blade of my demon armour which I have called 'Hikari no hakobi-te' which means 'bringer of light' since for some reason it can only cast light attacks.
Anyway…
Back to the stupid redhead that was currently looking shocked that I had the same magic. Her shock melted into a smug look as she noticed the dark blade in my hand
"Equip; Black Wing Armour" she exclaimed as her outfit changed into something even more revealing. wow what a slut.
"You know, you're never going to get a boyfriend if you flash that to everyone and anyone"
"Shut the fuck up you bitch and bow to me!" She screamed
"sorry, but I don't get on my knees for anyone like some people" I said with a smirk and a pointed look in her direction.
"oooh" Bickslow said while cackling.
She ran towards me, mortification and revenge swimming in her eyes although her face only showed bloodlust. Warrior mode. That's what I like to call it, as she ran I charged up a small plasma ball and shot it towards her, hitting her in the stomach and knocking her out. The smell of burnt flesh filling the air, causing me to hold my nose in disgust.
"Well, now that that is out of the way, can I get my mark now?" I asked as I turned around, still in my armour to see Laxus staring at me with pride in his eyes, Evergreen scowling at Erza before sticking her tongue out, Bickslow looking between me and the group of mages on the floor repeatedly. As my gaze turns to Freed I see him blotting his nose for some reason, I call out to him
"Freed, are you okay?" as he looks up I guess he got hit by one of my attacks because then he passes out with a full on nose bleed.
Nobody's pov
"Did he get hit by one of my attacks?" Lucy asked the group of older mages innocently before she equips into a different but very similar outfit to what she was wearing when they first met but this time the shirt was plain and stopped just above her belly button.
"Uhm… Yeah he did get hit sunshine, I'm just going to take him to the infirmary and we can get Mary to give you a stamp" Bickslow said as he grabbed Freed by his hair while his totems lifted up the mages back and dragged him into the guild hall.
"Right, well that was a brilliant welcome to the guild… Anyway come on you have to get your stamp and then you can join our team!" Evergreen exclaims as she drags Lucy into the guild leaving the grandson and grandfather standing there. Nobody was going to tell Lucy that Freed got a nose bleed because of her skimpy outfit
