A.N.: So I just randomly came up with a story idea and banged out the first chapter today. I think it turned out better than usual and I'm just happy that I actually wrote something! Anywho, please read and maybe even enjoy the first chapter of Fairy's Revenge!
DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN FAIRY TAIL. If I did, it would be no where near as awesome as it is.
Chapter 1: The Death of Natsu Dragneel and Lucy Heartfilia
Time stood still for Lucy Heartfilia and the rest of Team Natsu. A deafening silence held over them as they witnessed the scene in front of them. A hooded man wielding a large, electrified blade stood over a beaten and bloodied Natsu Dragneel. The tip of the man's blade was buried deep in the chest of the pink-haired dragon slayer and blood trickled from Natsu's mouth. Lucy could only look on in horror. 'Natsu! I need to save him. I need to get over there! Come on, move! Move! MOVE!,' she thought but her body didn't respond to her wishes. Instead she sank to her knees as tears began to pour from her eyes. "Natsu…," was all she could manage to choke out between sobs. 'It's all my fault.'
He had sacrificed himself to save her. The hooded man had ambushed them along with three other men, taking the Fairy Tail wizards by surprise. The big man had gone for Lucy but Natsu, being the big idiot he was, had thrown himself at the man tackling him to the ground. Lucy had been relived but neither her nor Natsu had known how strong and fast the man actually was. As quick as the lighting that covered his blade, he had overpowered Natsu, ad before anyone could do anything, he had slain the dragon slayer.
The clink of armored footsteps next to her brought Lucy back to the present. She caught a glimpse of scarlet hair, black boots, and two swords as Titania Erza, "The Queen of the Fairies", strode past her. "You killed him." The hatred in Erza's voice was palpable. "You killed him. Now….I'M GOING TO KILL YOU!" The hooded man smirked and removed his sword from Natsu's body. Erza charged but slid to a halt when someone else beat her to it. One of the other bandits had leapt toward the man, blade drawn. The ring of metal, striking metal, and lighting crackling echoes through the small clearing. The two men stood there blades locked and both pushing as far as he could.
"Raven," the smaller of the bandits growled. His voice hinted that he was young. Maybe 16 or 17., "You said we weren't going to hurt them. You said we were just taking the valuables." The man named Raven chuckled as he pressed harder on the other man's blade.
"What?! And pass up on the chance to slay a dragon slayer?! The famous Salamander no less! You're not going soft on me are you Connor?"
"I don't kill innocent people!" Raven smirked at this.
"Oh really?! I think you're forgetting what you did before I found you," Raven laughed. Connor growled and pushed with all his might, managing to knock Raven off balance. Connor leaped back and stuck a rock with his blade casing a small spark. His blade sprang into a brilliant flame.
"I CHALLENGE YOU FOR LEADERSHIP! RIGHT HERE! RIGHT NOW!" Erza took a step forward only for a blade to be placed at her neck. Another bandit had stopped her.
"You'll get you're turn to die." Erza knocked the blade away and readied herself for combat.
"So shall you," Erza growled. With that the two began combat. The sounded of ice shattering hinted that Gray had also engaged in battle. The sounds of battle raged, but Lucy was still sitting in a stunned silence. Finally, she found the strength to begin crawling over to the body of Natsu. He was covered in blood. The gaping hole in his chest had been carturized by the lightening that had coursed through his body. Lucy collapsed on his chest, crying. "I'm so sorry Natsu. It's all my fault! I should've done something! I should've…" She was silence as the dragon slayer coughed. He was still alive!
"Shut….up…ya weirdo," Natsu heaved. Lucy looked up and saw his weak smile. She began to cry harder. She began to talk but he put a hand over her mouth. "Just listen. You ne-need to…..go on. Please…don't by sad. I don't want…," He coughed violently, "I don't wanna see my Lucy sad. Just know that I-I…lo…." His hand fell from her face and he breathed his last breath.
Lucy tried to call out, tried to tell him to stay, to wake up. Her tears prevented any words from coming out. Lucy slumped back down into Natsu's chest and balled his vest in her fist. She felt the rush of wind, followed by the crack of splintering wood and bone. She looked up and saw the bandit named Connor slumped against a tree that he had been thrown into by Raven. The previously brilliant flam that had engulfed his sword sputtered and died. Lucy turned her hear and was face to face with Raven. For the first time she could see Raven's face clearly. His sickly yellow eyes were slightly covered by his platinum blonde hair. Were it not for that nasty scars and the fact that he had killed Natsu, Lucy might have described him as handsome. "I'll be taking my prize, girly." He reached for the scarf surrounding Natsu's neck and yanked it off. Lucy finally found some strength.
"Give it back," she screamed. She caught onto the edge of the scarf and pulled with all her might. She gave him as harsh a stare as she could muster. Raven smirked and raised his blade. Lucy's eyes widened in fear. She could hear both Gray and Erza calling her name, but they sounded distant and far away. The blade came down and Lucy closed her eyes, but she didn't feel any pain. In fact she felt….warm. She opened her eyes an saw the she and Natsu were both covered in flames. She would've gasped in shock but she suddenly felt tired. She could faintly hear Gray and Erza calling her name. They would have to wait because she was very tired. She laid down on Natsu's chest and began to fall asleep. The last thing she remembered was seeing the flames surrounding her shooting off somewhere. Then Lucy felt no more.
A.N.: And this concludes the first chapter! What has happened? Why did so many people die? What's Raven's flipping problem? All will be revealed (probably ;) ) . It was a bit shorter than i would've liked, but it's progress. Please be sure to tell me what you thought! All reviews are appreciated. Thank you so much for taking the time out of your day to read this!
