Hey hello what's up everyone I'm Warmachine375 here and today I'm making a crossover spin-off fanfic story of Fairy Tail and Nanatsu no Taizai titled "Fairy's Sin", which has been going in my head for weeks thinking about it many times! LOL :D
Since I'm an Escanor x Merlin shipper even if either of them are canon or fanon I don't care! Still a better love story than Twilight including Ban x Elaine and Meliodas x Elizabeth ships! I love them! XD I have decided to make a little fun with them married in this AU story and became grandparents of our iconic female Fairy Tail main character, Lucy Heartfilia!
P.S.: One-shot just in case. ;)
Summary: Lucy Heartfilia, the granddaughter of the Lion's Sin of Pride, Escanor who's quite that powerful than she looks joins Fairy Tail, Fiore's # 1 Guild. How will Fairy Tail and the rest of the Magic World react to the presence of this young woman who's the granddaughter of one of the Seven Deadly Sins? A different kind of Lucy with a bit of her canon side. Expect some OOCs just in case.
Disclaimer: I do not own Fairy Tail or Nanatsu no Taizai including their characters. They respectively belong to Hiro Mashima and Nakaba Suzuki, the authors of the two awesome manga and anime series.

Chapter 1
17 years ago at Heartfilia Konzern Manor
In the large manor grounds with an open garden suited for a picnic and tea party of the Heartfilia Konzern where one of the richest families in the Kingdom of Fiore, the Heartfilia family lived, a little girl blonde of hair and brown eyes in her training garb sparred in a training match in wooden sword with a blond boy with green eyes who appeared to be quite muscled for his age and seemed to be in charge of the girl's swordsmanship training.
"Come on Little Lucy. You can do it! Put up more effort! You're doing it great! Keep it up. Ni-shi-shi!", the blond boy said in a casual enthusiasm and a smile on his face while parrying most of the blonde girl named Lucy.
"Y-yes, Uncle Meliodas!", Lucy said while swing her wooden sword at the blond boy named Meliodas who's said to be her uncle in a growing progress of her fighting skills while feeling a bit exhausted during her training session but still continued on anyway.
Watching the scene of Lucy's training with Meliodas from a short distance are four people who are sitting together at the small round table filled with cups of hot tea and a tray of food and snacks provided by the servants and handmaidens.
The middle-aged man with a trim mustache in a business tailored suit who is sitting next to his wife drank his tea from his cup, though appeared in a disdain look. "Layla, this has to stop. Lucy is the heiress of our company I've worked hard to build and she's needed to be groomed into a proper lady like you my love, not picking up a sword and learn how to fight."
The beautiful middle-aged woman in her elegant dress named Layla gave a playful scoff on her husband's comment. "Oh please Jude. It's not her fault that our beloved little Lucy become entranced on becoming like her grandparents and uncle after hearing their stories of their adventures as knights back then. Besides our little girl also wanted to learn Celestial Spirit Magic too just like me, dear."
"Weren't those stories a bit overly-exaggerated Layla?", Jude asked skeptically as he looked at the dark-grey haired middle-aged woman in her formal dress who gave a smile that would put the Cheshire cat to shame.
"No of course not, my grim-looking and serious son-in-law. None of those stories are all overly-exaggerated. Ask my poetic husband Escanor and Captain if you needed a confirmation. Hehehe.", she said that took Jude by surprise of his very-young looking mother-in-law's comment.
A 40s old but strong-built man with a beard and long hair draped like a pony tail named Escanor said in a humblest tone and laughed heartily. "Hahaha! Oh, those stories are true indeed, son. Captain's the life of the party back in the old days with our old comrades as the Seven Deadly Sins. And Merlin you're embarrassing me you know! I was young back then...and pretty handsome too."
"And pretty arrogant too if I recall... At least in daytime. Ni-shi-shi!", Meliodas added the comment that soon got their attention, seeing that the training session with young Lucy is already over.
"Mommy! Daddy! Grandpa! Grandma! I nearly bested Uncle Meliodas in a fight... though he easily beaten me to it...", the little girl said happily, despite being tired, to her parents and grandparents though Merlin had a transformation spell on herself in place already in order to really look like a grandmother who hadn't lost her beauty yet despite her age in the eyes of Lucy whenever she come by and to the servants of the manor too. I mean would she just simply waltz around in her true appearance with her husband who's old enough to be grandfather with other normal people around, thinking the wrong ideas coming up in their heads after hearing that they're a married couple? No, I think not.
Praising their daughter of her efforts though Jude's words were somewhat a bit forced which Meliodas, Merlin and Escanor had quickly noticed but kept quiet about while still complimenting the little girl until they begin a talk between adults once Lucy was escorted away by Layla followed by their handmaidens to rest for now later before proceeding learning Celestial Spirit Magic with Bero, the teacher of that Magic.
As he was about to leave for more paperwork on his latest business issues and contracts at his office, Jude then noticed a serious and grim look from the faces of his relatives in his wife's side of the family almost as if he was at fault with them or offended them for some reason. "What? Why are you three looking at me like that? Have I do something wrong?"
Meliodas spoke in a serious tone of his unlike his casual carefree self of his he always carried around. "Yeah you did, Jude. You seemed to be more focused on business and work than spending time with your family. Don't ever deny it. Your eyes gave that all away when I looked at you like that. Even if I have a bar to run, I have all the free time in spending with my family."
"You don't think we didn't see that in you considering you spent more time and effort on your company than on your daughter. I will not deny that you loved my daughter Layla and my little granddaughter but this money-obsession habit of yours has to stop. Fix that attitude of yours before that will come back to stab you in the back someday if you keep that up.", Merlin said darkly at her son-in-law.
The Heartfilia Konzern head tried to make an angry retort that he actually did spent his time with his wife and daughter more than a few times but his father-in-law had beaten him to it in a threatening fatherly tone. "Tread carefully in the path you walk in Jude. I do not disapprove of your hard work that helped the family welfare despite your poor money management but don't dwell too much on them. There's always a time for everything. A fair warning though, your arrogance and pride in your work and the company you have built may soon be your downfall and it would be the greatest sin you will commit. You will regret that throughout the rest of your live if you do."
Jude was stunned beyond grave words of warning from his relatives-in-law that froze him on spot and felt ashamed of this before leaving them to tend to his wife and daughter with Meliodas having a bad feeling that he may not take heed their words at any given moment which Merlin and Escanor had to agree and think on a contingency plan if that happen eventually before heading back to the Heartfilia Konzern Manor to enjoy lunch served there.
Several or more days later, the captain and two members of the legendary Seven Deadly Sins soon left the Heartfilia Konzern Manor after a worthwhile family visit there, promising that they might visit again someday when they least expected it. Lucy said her goodbyes with her uncle Meliodas and her grandparents Escanor and Merlin, promising that she will be as strong like them and make them proud including her parents that they agree on that.
After they left, the Heartfilia family and staff continued on with their daily routines and work like everything went back to normal as usual. Within the halls of the Heartfilia Konzern Manor, there lies an antique display that houses a giant battle-axe...
Present Day at Hargeon Town
At the small fishing port town of Hargeon with a harbor in the Kingdom of Fiore where the townsfolk, fishermen, traders, and tourists alike gather there as they go about in their everyday lives and business of their own where normal livelihood on fishing thrives prosperously there more than Magic as there's only one Magic store just for traveling Mages passing by.
Among the large crowd of many people, either of them are Mages and non-Mages venturing around town is a teenage young woman with brown eyes and a slightly shoulder-length blonde hair, in her clean white button-front shirt that shows the size of her chest and a black sleeveless vest on top with a blue ribbon on it and a long blue-and-black skirt down to her knees and traveling shoes with long black socks.
At her back is a ornamental winged-hilted blade sheathed at her small backpack/sheathe and on her left waist is a small pouch of three gold keys and few silver keys.
From the looks on her beautiful face, she looks pretty determined and quite a bit carefree for someone like her, probably got from her favorite uncle, Meliodas.
Her name is Lucy Heartfilia, the only daughter of Jude and Layla Heartfilia and granddaughter of Escanor and Merlin and niece of Meliodas. And she's on her lone journey around the land of Fiore to join a certain guild she had admired so much of their popular reputation ever since she ran away from home.
It all started when her beloved mother died at X777 and it was a grave loss of the Heartfilia family. Lucy had grieved for her mother's death at the funeral where the grave with an angelic statue is built upon with her father, her favorite grandparents and uncle attending including some of their friends (from those of the Seven Deadly Sins) and acquaintances from Jude's side and Layla's who attended too and shared condolences with the blonde girl.
The three Gold Keys of Aquarius, Cancer and Capricorn were held on by Zoldeo and two other people the late Celestial Spirit Mage had entrusted them to until her daughter is ready to claim them at her adolescent age before her peaceful death, though didn't count on Zoldeo's betrayal of her trust when he tried to use Human Subordination Magic on Capricorn that resulted the merging of two beings into one. In an upset response of their daughter's betrayal of trust, Merlin and Escanor had hunted the Dark Mage down relentlessly but soon lost track of him where they nearly caught him under unknown circumstances however and decided to wait in a subtle and patient way of searching until they finally found him at the right moment.
Everyone had moved on with Layla's death later then after the mourning. Everyone but Jude. The man, who loved his wife so dearly ever since they first met at the merchant's guild "Love & Lucky" and went through a somewhat hilarious way in gaining her parents' approval of him when he managed to win Layla's heart, had soon neglected his only daughter, deprived of fatherly love and attention, and busied himself in his work more often that quickly earned a grave ire from Layla's parents as if he didn't take their warning they gave him seriously and ignored them as if they didn't even exist.
Having had enough of her father's neglect and estranged relationship in 17 years, Lucy had decided to leave home behind to follow her own path as a bold display of her ambition for independence, striving to become a full-fledged Mage of a guild she chooses to join and also fulfill the promise she made to her grandparents in her childhood that she'll be strong as taught by her beloved late mother and her favorite uncle that she must always keep her promises... though held still a small sense of resentment towards her father.
Taking advantage of her father still buried immensely at work in his office, Lucy in her preteens had trained hard on her own as she honed her swordsmanship and hand-to-hand combat skills she learned from her little uncle's lessons including learning some few new abilities from her grandmother's magic books left behind and continued with her Celestial Spirit Magic training with Bero who's quite surprised of her determination and built up her already great strength despite her frame and magic power in her self-training that she inherited from her grandparents as noted by her uncle Meliodas when he once mentioned Lucy about that in her childhood through her mother who's more on the magic power affinity than physical strength yet couldn't understand what he meant until now, although she kept it to at least in a minimum level out of fear of overusing her strength too much while maintaining her loyal obedient proper woman in front of her estranged father whenever he requested for her presence at his office, probably something to discuss about a business betrothals with another company only just expand Jude's business empire and gain more money no doubt obviously or telling her to stop with her training this instant which she didn't behind his back.
When the time came for Lucy to pursue her ambition she will work hard to strive for, the blonde Mage dressed up in her modest attire in an almost resemblance that of her uncle Meliodas' old outfit, probably thanks to that blond boy's influence on her, finished packing her needed clothing, funds and supplies including some few of her grandmother's spellbooks for the long journey outside her home and also took the giant axe from the antique room she came across with a strange feeling that she had a connection to it and as if the large weapon called out for its new owner while noticing the name of it. Despite its heavy looking size and weight, Lucy picks it up as it wasn't heavy for her but finds it quite a huge problem of bringing such a weapon out and risk getting attention from her father and the family manor staff until she discovered a small magical mechanism button at its handle that transformed the large axe into an ornamental winged broken blade for a lighter load that pleases Lucy who then found the perfect backpack scabbard and brandished it proudly.
Feeling ready and determined now to follow her own path, Lucy bade goodbye to her deceased mother at her grave while silently gave hers to those who served her well and also her cold-hearted father despite his negligence and secretly sent letters to her grandparents and favorite uncle about it, and left the Heartfilia Konzern Manor that started her journey away from home.
Along the long tiring yet worthwhile journey, the blonde woman managed to acquire the Gold Keys of her mother's and some few Silver Keys, and also gained a Gold Key of Taurus where she finds him quite annoying and similar to her little uncle who's a bold and open pervert after making a contract with the Golden Bull himself at the open farmyard filled with cattle. Not only that, she also gained herself a small reputation befitting that of any Fairy Tail Mage when she came across a traveling supply caravan that was being ambushed by a large group of notorious bandits intending to sack it, kidnap valuable hostages and rape the women too and had successfully stopped them although went a bit overboard when she cut down the entire forest accidentally with a mere swing of her broken blade in a form of an air swipe when the bandits think she's joking upon looking at her seemingly useless weapon which then scared them into either running away or surrendering in fear, resulting to some mixed reactions from the people in that scene either angry or grateful to her, though mostly the angry part, particularly about collateral damage and clearly mistook her for a Fairy Tail Mage as they're reputed for destroying things when on a Job though she actually wasn't yet much to her chagrin. The blonde Mage had to leave now before the military comes around and wouldn't take any chances of getting arrested where she continued on the road until arriving at the port town of Hargeon.
Continuing her venture around Hargeon, Lucy talked to herself in crediting her favorite uncle Meliodas for knowing how to negotiate something of value when he explained it to her when he was the owner of a small but booming giant-pig mobile bar at that time and it somehow worked, in a success of getting discount for a Silver Key of Nikora which costs over 20, 000 Jewels at the town's only Magic store, though a little bit upset that the price has been lowered to a little less than a 1,000 Jewels.
A loud ruckus mostly composed of women's squeals heard by bystanders that occurred nearby as Lucy noticed a big crowd of fangirls surrounding person of a famous celebrity-like status called Salamander.
"The famous Salamander who controls Fire Magic that can't be bought in Magic stores is here in town? Here? Though he probably couldn't control Hellblaze just like uncle's...and ...*gulps nervously*... mine but I'm still working on that one...Oh well, time to see this Salamander in person.", Lucy said to herself in a tone of doubt as she bypassed through a crowd of fangirls with eyes filled with hearts and great admiration where she encountered a blue-haired handsome man in an ornate clothing who claimed to be the Salamander himself.
Although every girl surrounding that man were all captivated by his ruggedly handsome appearance, Lucy doesn't seem so impressed, displaying a neutral look and began to walk away like it's none of her business that greatly shocked Salamander when he noticed the blonde girl not falling for his natural or rather Magical charms.
"She just left?!", he yelled in shock.
Almost immediately, the mob of fangirls started to attack the walking away girl in response of Salamander's shock as they pounced on Lucy and started beating her up in a cloud of smoke!
"How could you ignore that man?!"
"Nobody disrespects the Salamander when I am around!"
"Show him some respect and kindness!"
"Stupid girl!"
"Hey you! That's rude!"
"Right! Salamander is a great wizard!"
"You better be sorry!"
Unknown to them however, Lucy was revealed to have just jumped out of way in fast reaction and in a casual yet surprised and deadpanned manner to the Salamander's fangirls' mob attack in the nick of time and watch them ended beaten themselves up instead of her. "What's wrong with you people?"
Okay, does this remind me of Uncle Meliodas' story about the Prankster Imps impersonating Auntie Elizabeth about to pounce on him like angry fangirls at some foggy forest they ventured into in their adventures or is it just a coincidence?..., the blonde woman thought to herself in a deadpan look before glaring at Salamander and noticing his two rings he wore on his right hand. One had a picture of a sleepy crescent moon shaped like a face with a blue background and the other one had a pink heart picture with a purple background.
She recognized that ring as if she saw it before and gasped in surprised. "Wait, that ring! It can't be!"
Just as Salamander was about to charm Lucy into his fold with his charm ring, someone had rudely interrupted him.
A slightly tanned boy with a spiky pink hair, wearing an Arabian-style outfit with a white scale-detailed scarf and black sandals with a light red jacket with a green backpack and a red sleeping bag on top of his backpack. Below him was a blue cat standing on two feet with a green backpack next to his leg.
"IGNEEL!", the pinkette boy yelled that soon got everyone's attention at the confused teen boy.
Looking at the blue-haired man with a cape, the boy gave a disappointed look on his face. "Who the hell are you?"
The man made a surprised stance in bewilderment for a few seconds when the boy said that in his face before calming down. "Who the hell am I?! Perhaps you have heard of my name, the famous Salamander, haven't you?" Then he saw the pink-haired teen leaving just like the blonde girl did. "Him too?!"
In response, the fangirls immediately attacked the boy in a ganged up mob attack in the same manner they did on Lucy and spouted the same accusations at the pinkette boy for offending Salamander while beating him up relentlessly.
But the Salamander was a little more forgiving of the repeated offense he took as he got the girls' attention again. "Now, now! That's enough, ladies. I'm sure he didn't mean to insulting me, including the blondie too."
His fans then went back in swooning over him almost immediately as if nothing happened at all. Lucy wasn't amused of this as she watched on.
"Here. Have an autograph! Now you can brag your friends about it!", Salamander said, giving the boy an autograph in a friendly offer.
The pink-haired teen's only reply was, "I'll pass."
It then promptly caused the fangirls about gang up on him again for another offensive comment on Salamander. Having seen enough, Lucy sprung into action as she quickly sprinted and grabbed the boy by the back of his shirt, pulling him to safety almost in a manner of teleportation if another Mage might mistook her great speed as that type of transportation Magic if they saw that.
"Alright, alright that's enough! Just because me and the pinkie guy here were rude to you Salamander doesn't mean that you should get to gang up on us like that!", she said with a disdain voice at the blue-haired man.
This caught the mob of girls off guard by the blonde woman's outburst as the pink-haired teen got up and gave a thumbs in support and said his thanks for saving him from another wave of butthurt from angry fangirls.
In an instant after Lucy's outburst, Salamander then stepped in front of the crowd and said, "Ladies my appreciation for your enthusiasm knows no bounds." The girls turned their attention back to him again, swooning. "I apologize, but I have business to deal with at the harbor. Red Carpet.", he continued as he snapped his fingers and a purple Magic Seal appeared underneath him, forming a cloud of purple flames and raised him into the air. "There will be a party at my yacht tonight. You're all welcome to attend!"
With that, the Fire Mage left the scene with the girls enthusiastically telling him that they'll more than willing to attend his party in his yacht tonight.
"Wonder what's that guy's damage?", the pink-haired wondered while recovering from the previous he got from the fangirls of Salamander.
"He's really a creep, isn't he?", the blond teen said before walking up to the duo composed of a boy and a blue cat. "Thanks for earlier, guys and what's your names?", she said much to their confusion while looking puzzled.
Later then, Lucy finds herself at the restaurant, sitting by the window where the pink-haired boy ate as much food as he want into his mouth and his cat munched on his fish. The blonde teen treated them as a form of thanks that those two found to be happy for it.
"Fanks for da foo!", the pinkette boy said with his mouth full.
"Yup, yup!", the cat said in agreement as his cheeks filled with fish.
Seeing a cat can talk like a human person had surprised Lucy just a little, considering that her uncle once mentioned to have a talking pig with a lot inflated ego who's been with him as the pet mascot of the bar in his story to her during her childhood.
"So your names are Natsu and Happy huh? Well, nice to meet you, I'm Lucy. You know you should slow down a bit please. It's getting kinda messy here.", Lucy said with a sweat-drop while sensing something off from the pinkette teen. Although I sensed a great level of Magic power within you Natsu, so it's safe to assume that you're a a Mage with a type of Magic I haven't seen you use yet for now... But there's some sort of strange yet ancient and powerful presence inside you... just what was that?
The pink-haired teen named Natsu nodded and was about to continue more on eating had not he noticed an ornament winged sword hilt at her back that got his interest as he asked with his mouth still full. "Nayws two mreet ryu two Rushi! Shawy, what'z thwat swhord you cawwied at yo bak?"
"Yeah, what is that weapon, Lucy?", the talking cat named Happy asked in curiosity.
Displaying a small mischievous smirk, the blonde girl quickly drew her blade at her back that scared Natsu and Happy off-guard that caused the former's food in his mouth to go down into his stomach in great fear.
"Now you done it, Natsu! You had to provoke her who gave us fish!", Happy said in panic.
"AAAAAHHHH! I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry Lucy I didn't mean to say that! Please don't skewer... me?", the pink-haired boy frantically said before noticing a broken blade at its hilt that gave him a sigh of relief.
Displaying the broken weapon high with a sense of pride despite its useless appearance, Lucy spoke, "Ni-shi-shi! Sorry if I scared you two. I apologize for that. My bad, my bad. This was meant for a little scare or big intimidation to any bad person I come across recently. It helped me a lot lately."
"But that weapon looked utterly useless once you draw it in an actual fight, Lucy. It might not suit well against those with real weapons.", Happy interjected with Natsu agreeing in a form of a nod.
"On the contrary, my talking cat friend. You ain't seen nothing of it yet. Yes, it's true it looked useless indeed but unless in the hands of someone with the skills which is me, anything can be made into a weapon, even the broken ones.", the blond girl explained with a sheepish and a mock offended look.
Natsu and Happy appeared to doesn't look convinced at first before raising her arms and shoulders that says, "Sure what not?" and resumed eating their meals.
Changing the subject, Lucy re-sheathed back her broken sword and said quite in an upset tone, "I can't believe that Salamander guy used Charm! It's a Spell that sways people's hearts in the wizard's favor. Apparently that type of Magic like that was banned several years ago. It's disgusting that he'd use Magic to attract girls though Uncle Gowther had a form of Magic similar to that Charm which involves memory manipulation but at least he even knew when to not cross the line drawn in for him according to Grandma Merlin said to be about that after he learned a hard lesson not to mess with a poor woman's memories, making her believe that Uncle Gowther was her fiancée before returning her back to normal by Uncle Meliodas... though they still fell genuinely in love in the end."
The two males didn't even listen at all or listened a little while they continued eating but Lucy continued, "Though, I thank you for bumping into me, that creep was about his Charm on me had you and Happy shown up."
"Ah, I see...", Natsu said while keeping on eating.
"I may not look like it, considering my casual attire, I'm a Mage myself though more like a knight in my own perspective just like my uncle and my grandparents including some of distant relatives from my mother's side of the family. I mean not all Magic users get to be Mages when taking up their occupations, they can also join the military too to contribute their Magical talents and skills into the combat strength of Fiore's Royal Army either as a wide variety of elite forces in their ranks like Magic Soldiers, Anti-Mage Troopers, Rune Knights... and Holy Knights, etc. and so on, so forth. Although I'm questioning the credibility of the kingdom's military being quite pathetically compared to Liones' where my mother's relative came from.", Lucy said.
"Ngeally? Sawnds kowl!", Natsu said with his mouth stuffed in food again while Happy feeling a bit disturbed with a cold shudder on his fur about a certain scarlet haired woman in armor might have sneezed all of a sudden, wondering if someone was talking behind her back which had actually happened when that person confronted a giant lizard-like monster before engaging it in battle with her sword she summoned in thin air in a form of red Magic seal.
Lucy gave a carefree thumbs up in response. "Yup Though, I'm not a member of a guild yet."
The blonde teenage woman then began to talk about the description about guilds and dreamed of joining she still feeling a bit insecure on which guild to join, considering a number of popular guilds dotting all around in Fiore, that made her really hard to choose just one. Yet she must join one and fulfill her ambitions.
"There's this only one place where many great Mages gather; that's the guild I want to get into! I hope I'm cut out for this and maybe that guild won't be that strict. ", she added.
"Huh... that's so...", Natsu said, obviously ain't paying attention with Happy noting, "Wow, you sure talk a lot for someone who's carefree like you."
"Thank you Happy. At least it's better than keeping silent all the words you want to say with your mouth to yourself. Ni-shi-shi!", Lucy playfully retorted much to the talking cat's chagrin.
Now thinking about a certain person Natsu mentioned named Igneel in their accidental first meeting, Lucy asked. "By the way, Natsu. you said you were looking for someone?"
"Yeah, that's right! We heard Salamander's in town but he wasn't the one we're looking for.", the pinkette teen replied.
"He didn't look like Salamander at all.", Happy still chewing on his fish.
"I was sure he was the real deal, too.", Natsu said in an unhappy tone while eating a loaf of bread.
If it's either a dragon or a person with that title Natsu said about the real Salamander he's searching for, I would bet on a dragon..., she thought before asking them. "Um... how could a human look like a salamander or I guess it's a dragon in this town, am I right?"
"Ah! You're right about the last part, Lucy! Igneel isn't a human being. He's a dragon.", Natsu said calmly yet surprised that the blonde girl had guessed out the one he and Happy were looking for.
I knew it..., Lucy gave herself a smug look in figuring that part out, recalling about Grandma Merlin talking about Tyrant Dragons that had only the strength to take out ten towns from Liones while knowing the Dragons in Fiore are extremely powerful that have the power to destroy an entire country, not counting the alleged rumor of her little uncle's single-handed destruction of a doomed kingdom from Britannia when lost himself in rage or so they say she heard about in one of the stories.
The blonde young woman explained in a rational thought to the two of them. "You do know that it's very outrageous that a dragon you're looking for would appear in this town. If it actually was here, none of this town will be left standing by now."
Natsu and Happy began to realize Lucy's words about a dragon sighting in Hargeon might have been too obvious if it were true.
Deciding to leave the restaurant and continue on the road, Lucy left the money for the bills of the food Natsu and Happy ate much to their overly-gratefulness and thanks for treating them to a meal, much to her cute embarrassment when they overdid their show of debt and gratitude in front of the other bystanders and customers.
"W-well I'll be off them. Good luck searching your dragon Igneel out there, Natsu, Happy. Take care of yourselves, okay? Ni-shi-shi.", the blonde Mage said before leaving.
"Bye! Be seeing ya Lucy!", Natsu said as he waved goodbye with Happy saying. "Aye!"
Sitting alone in a bench in a great view of clear blue skies and sea, including of Hargeon, Lucy bought herself a Sorcerer Weekly magazine that contains the latest headline about Fairy Tail's recent destruction of the Devon Thief Family but also destroyed several buildings that belonged to the townspeople during the Job and noticed a cover photo of a beautiful young woman with long silvery hair and in a swimsuit named Mirajane who's famously known for the guild's main attraction, wondering if she's that reckless as that of Fairy Tail.
That is the guild Lucy wanted to join: it's Fairy Tail, the number 1 and strongest guild in Fiore, famously known for its countless destruction when the members go on a Job or two that mostly ended up in destruction and the half of the reward fees being used to rebuild the damages they have done.
With Lucy having a weird habit to destroy stuff just like relatives did when they're the members of the Seven Deadly Sins, mentioning to her that they've destroyed more stuff than Fairy Tail combined including the Great Druid Altar and Byzel Village in Britannia, she might fit in well with that guild.
Though Lucy may have a certain fashion sense in modern day clothing and all but she somewhat felt quite an attachment to medieval-style that focuses mostly on the modesty, something she got from her grandparents and uncle in their visits including some of their friends who came along with them, that soon took hold on the blond girl into wearing most clothes as long that involves complete sleeves.
Sensing a presence hiding in the bushes, Lucy called out to the Peeping Tom in a threatening tone while about to draw out her weapon. "Alright, whoever you are. I might send you to the nearby hospital limb-by-limb and it's not going to be pretty if you don't come out now."
"Whoa, whoa, who! Easy there, little lady! I wasn't going to do anything bad to you. Honest!", Salamander said with a surrender sign his hands raised.
What a horrible liar... this guy. Even a talking pig or cat can make a good lie., Lucy thought before questioning him sternly. "How long were you been there?"
Salamander defended himself after hearing the question. "I just got here. You know how hard it is to track ladies like you? If I hear this, right, you want in at Fairy Tail, right?"
If she were some other common girl or a extremely naive Mage, Lucy might have fallen for that lie considering a scumbag he really is but she didn't as the former walked away casually from Salamander as if he doesn't exist from her life. "No, thank you. I got some other important things to do around town."
"She... just left me again!?", he said in shock.
Not giving up easily quite yet, Salamander chased after Lucy and stopped her in her tracks in a last desperate attempt to convince her under his charms, Magic or not.
"Wait, wait, wait! Hold on there miss. Don't leave here out in the blue! Just hear me out okay. I'm here to invite you to attend a party of mine I thrown at my yacht for beautiful ladies like you.", he said.
"Not interested. Parties aren't my thing. And don't even think of using your Charms on me, it won't work on me once I already know what's you're going to do. So get lost.", Lucy interjected bluntly.
"Oh no miss but you must come at my party! Please! I insist!", Salamander desperately pleaded but came up with the most convincing solution as possible. "Hmmmm... How about this? I get you into Fairy Tail after you attend my party at my yacht tonight? I would gladly ask the Master to let you join."
"Oh sure, it would be a wonderful party, won't it...", Lucy said in a disinterested tone with a hint of sarcasm, not yet convinced.
Feeling his ego a bit crushed, Salamander spoke in a very pathetic look. "You're so cold, miss. Even colder than an Ice Mage.", indirectly caused a spiky black-haired man in his pants sneeze while on his way in the road to a certain town in response.
Still held strong suspicions on Salamander that something's really off about him, Lucy decided to attend the party which pleases him as he left merrily in his Red Carpet.
"Oh well, time to get dressed up for tonight then...", she said to herself before preparing herself for the party she was 'obliged' to attend.
Later that night, Lucy did came to the party hosted by Salamander with a lot of young women who're the same fangirls of him attending and wore a formal version of her previous attire yesterday yet quite elegant and still had her Celestial Spirit Keys at her side and a broken sword at her back. The blond Mage is currently in the small private room with Salamander.
"Lucy, huh? Such a lovely name...", he complimented which she didn't pay him no mind and sensed something was wrong while noticing something he added into the drink. Very wrong indeed.
Just when Bora was about make a toast together with a few drops of tasty sweet drink floating in the air with Telekinesis Magic, Lucy quickly swiped them off and glared at him in an accusing tone. "Those are sedatives, aren't they?"
"Oh and how did you find out?", Salamander asked in a calm position, which confirmed Lucy's suspicions of him.
The blonde girl sternly stated at him, "It doesn't take a genius or a simple idiot to figure that out, Salamander. You wanted me at you party on purpose to take me out because I knew your little secret behind your charms on the women back then. I just had to confirm it myself by attending here."
"Oho, looks like you've hit the jackpot. Smart girl. It's true that I wanted you to be in my party because you're the only one who knew about my Charm spell and also the one to resist it as shown you walked away from me at mere first glance if I recall. I won't let someone like you waltz around telling the authorities about my activities lately. Although it's very sad to say that if you had let yourself get drugged in the first place, you wouldn't have to get hurt.", the blue-haired Mage said darkly in his tone.
Out of nowhere, two strong arms grabbed hold of Lucy's as the latter looked back to see a gang of goons and thugs gathered together with a fall of the curtain with creepy looks on their faces.
"Well, well, well lookie here."
"Guess we got a quite catch this time."
"That's such a pretty face."
"Check out that figure."
And similar other statements and comments from the rest of the men on board this yacht, most with perverted, sadistic and sickening looks in their eyes as they looked at Lucy who was mildly sweating, worried slightly of what might come next and got very upset before Salamander got in her face.
"Welcome aboard my slave ship, miss. It'd be best to behave yourself while we make our way to Bosco."
"Bosco? So that's the real truth behind this party for your 'fans' all along. You intend to make the women you charmed into your thrall to be branded into slavery, am I right?", Lucy realized in a calm tone. Way too calm.
"Just give it up, girl. You're our merchandise now.", one thug said with a scene shown with numerous unconscious women drugged by the drinks they took.
Feeling a bit unnerved of the blonde woman's almost lack of fear being on board on a slave ship, Salamander continued, in intent to break her. "Yes it's true indeed, miss Lucy. That's the daily routine me and my boys did right under the noses of the Magic Council. I get to lure the women in my ship and then sell them to slavery there. Quite very profitable for us, don't you think boys?"
The men agreed in response in form of mutters and hollers to their boss' words of reply to Lucy still held on by a brutish man and has yet to resist from his hold but she didn't, causing a few chilling nerve on what's going to happen next.
"What's with her?"
"She should be panicking in fear now."
"Do you think she accepted her new miserable fate already?"
"I dunno, yet I felt the weird tingling inside me."
Noticing at Lucy's waistline, Salamander reached for her side and picked up her pouch of gold and silver keys in his hands. "Hm? Gate Keys huh? So you're a Celestial Spirit Mage."
"Celestial? What do you mean, boss?", a dumb-looking thug asked.
"It does not matter. Unless you are a contract holder, this kind of Magic can't be used. In other words, they're useless to me", the blue-haired man explained before unceremoniously tossed out Lucy's keys out through the nearby window and sank into the bottom of the sea.
Brandishing a branding iron, Salamander issued his orders. "Well, then as a slave, the first thing to do is to brand you. You, there, remove that sword from her back. She won't be needing it anymore."
The nearest thug with a sickening glee hastily complied as he reached for the broken sword of Lucy's but couldn't lift for some reason and pathetically tried in vain of pulling out from her backpack scabbard she wore, resulting some of his fellows to try it too but failed also. Even the strong-looking ones couldn't even lift her weapon.
Getting annoyed while getting closer to Lucy with the branding iron, "Ughhh... you idiots. Take her backpack she always carried around with that stupid sword you couldn't even lift with your arms then."
Suddenly, a massive exertion of Magical power emanating with rage filled the entire room that froze everyone standing there in utter fear including Salamander who couldn't even withstood the pressure.
"A Mage like you disgusts me very, very much. You will die...", Lucy muttered in anger nearly overwhelming her mind with her eyes that screams brutal murder staring right into the blue-haired man's soul looking at her. What is this feeling? Why am I so afraid of her?..., he thought in constant fear.
Head-butting the large thug holding her hard and pushed him crashing into his comrades, Lucy disappeared in a flash of speed before suddenly reappearing in front of Salamander and gave a hard double kick in the face and chest that sent him crashing into his furniture hard and nearly broke his nose, not to mention nearly branded himself with that object he meant to pin the blonde Mage.
"Mr. Salamander!"
"You bitch!"
"Damn, she nearly broke his nose!"
"Looks like you need to be taught a lesson."
"Gang up on her! She can't beat us with our numbers!"
Numerous men started to surround Lucy who was to draw her weapon that none of the men were able to remove it, intending to fight them but all of a sudden a ceiling burst hard with a familiar face jumped into the fray who landed on the ground hard with the wooden floor crushed by his landing with no sign of trouble.
Having snapped out of her rage self nearly taking over her, Lucy regained herself and took the surrounding glance before noticing a certain pink-haired boy and muttered his name, "Natsu?"
In what appeared to be a badass moment for the pink-haired teen, Natsu fell on his knees and his cheeks puffed green a little with a look on his face that he wanted to hurl.
"Oh no, I can't take it.", Natsu said dizzily.
"Ehh? What kind of entrance was that? , Lucy said in a deadpanned tone before sighing at Natsu's stupidity that Salamander and his men appeared to agree with her despite being enemies now.
She also noticed Happy too in the sky, probably responsible for dropping Natsu into the slave ship of Salamander's. What are they doing here?, she wondered in her thoughts.
"Lucy, what are you doing here?", the talking cat asked while descending down through the hole the now motion sick Natsu made.
"I'm in Salamander's slave ship I found myself getting into with a bad case of party invitation by that freak over there.", the blonde girl pointed out which the blue-haired handsome man find it offensive of her comment.
"Hey!"
Needing her Celestial Spirit Gate keys again to pay back in kind at Salamander for causing all trouble she got herself into including those victimized by him, Lucy dashed through his men, knocking mostly down like collapsing trees and jumped through the window of the yacht, diving into the sea.
"Oh dammit! Search for her you fools! Find her! If news reaches the Magic Council, I'm done for!", he said in cold sweat and panic to his men who were interrupted by a pink-haired boy who tried to say something despite his condition and pathetically put up a fight but was easily overpowered by the former's men.
"Fairy... Tail...", he weakly muttered much to his and the goons' confusion.
Seeing Lucy jumped out of the yacht to get her keys back that was thrown out by Salamander, Happy spread his wings and flew after her in concern of his new friend's safety in the cold waters.
"Lucy! Lucy! Lucy, where are you? Answer me!", the talking blue cat called out to the blonde girl at the blue seas above him.
Lucy appeared with her head sticking out to breathe fresh air, just after Happy called out to her, having successfully retrieved her keys from the depths of the water and took out one of the golden keys to summon a Celestial Spirit as she dipped the key into the water.
"Open, Gate of the Water Bearer! Aquarius!", she said as a blue Magic circle began to appear in front of her and out came a beautiful bluenette mermaid with a voluptuous figure and carrying an urn at her side.
Happy was surprise and amazement (not to mention a special interest in her because she looks like a fish) of the presence of a Celestial Spirit summoned by Lucy when she showed her pride of summoning one which irritates Aquarius who turned sternly at her for dropping her key and then threatened to drown her alive right here and now if she did it again that the blonde girl didn't seemed to fazed at all.
"Just do it anyway.", Lucy said bluntly in a neutral look at Aquarius as if she wasn't afraid of her, obviously knowing what's the Celestial Spirit is going to do next.
"Well, whatever you brat. Let's get this over with then. HAAAAAAAHHHH! Giant Wave Attack!", the Water Bearer said in an irritated response, scoffing as she gathered all water into her urn and then wildly spun herself around in tremendous force to create the large tidal wave that had sent the whole ship and its passengers including her owner and the talking blue cat crashing back into the shore of Hargeon's harbor, resulting the destruction and flooding of the surrounding area!
In the aftermath of Aquarius' work, the harbor was a total mess and all washed up! The slave ship owned by Salamander was completely overturned and a huge wreck, and most of the passengers on it had managed to survive including the kidnapped girls who regained consciousness and then fled for their lives after realizing what happened to them when they're at "Salamander's" ship. The crowd of citizens were there too, trying to figure out what's going on down there and were having numerous surprises when they got there.
"Did that ship just crash into the harbor shore?"
"How the hell did that happen?!"
"This is unbelievable!"
"Someone call the military!"
"I swear that a huge tidal swept that ship and destroyed the harbor shore!"
"No way!"
Freeing himself from the beach sand and wreckage he was buried in, Happy flew up and surveyed the destroyed and washed-up area and noticed Lucy appearing to be unfazed while being soaked and dirtied all over in a purposeful wash-up by Aquarius at the wrecked shore though a a bit ticked off at Aquarius going overboard again who then retorted back at her human owner of her key that she was too, much to the talking blue cat's confusion.
"Alright I'll let you off the hook for now. I'm off for a vacation with my boyfriend Scorpio. So don't call me then or I'll kill you brat.", Aquarius darkly threatened.
"Sure, Aquarius. Have a nice day with your boyfriend then. I can handle things from here.", the blonde girl replied while looking not scared of her Celestial Spirit's threat while displaying a smug look.
"Humph. No wonder why you didn't get a boyfriend with that attitude of yours you got from your carefree brat of an uncle.", the Water Bearer dryly commented as she returned to the Celestial Spirit World before noticing Lucy getting a bit flustered and fumed by her comment that made her smirk mischievously and Happy too much to the blonde girl's chagrin.
Recomposing herself, Lucy and Happy went to find Natsu only for them to witness the pink-haired teenager starting to act serious and glared angrily at 'Salamander' and his men.
"Natsu...", Lucy muttered before about to reach for her wing-shaped weapon, ready to fight but Happy stopped her much to her confusion.
Then, Natsu spoke in a loud and calm yet pissed off tone to 'Salamander'. "You are a Fairy Tail wizard?"
The blue-haired man answered, looking down on him. "What is it to you?" Turning to two of his thugs and gave an order, "Go teach that punk some manners."
The two thugs nodded at 'Salamander' and charged at the pinkette man with their fists.
"Let me take a good look at your face!", Natsu said darkly before reaching for his jacket while ignoring the two charging thugs coming at him.
Meanwhile, Happy was telling Lucy something important. "Don't worry about Natsu, Lucy. He's strong. If he wasn't, he wouldn't be a wizard."
Lucy showed her surprised look in her face in response.Well he wouldn't be if he hadn't that great Magic power I sensed within him earlier back then... but what kind of Magic he has then?
Removing his jacket that now flew away in an opposite direction, Natsu quickly punched the thugs at the same time like an adult striking a child while revealing his right arm which had a red tattoo on top of his right shoulder that almost looked like a fairy, growling in anger. "I am Natsu Dragneel of Fairy Tail and I've never seen you before in our guild!"
Everyone was in shock when the pink-haired teen claimed to be the real Fairy Tail Mage especially Lucy as she slowly spoke, "... So Natsu is a Fairy Tail wizard?"
"Mr. Bora boss-man! That mark is the real deal!", one of the thugs turned to Salamander upon recognizing the guild symbol on Natsu's right shoulder.
The blue-haired man whose real name to be revealed as Bora panicked in a pissed look. "You damned idiot! Don't call me by that name!"
"Bora. I see... Bora the Prominence. He was kicked out of the Titan's Nose guild some years ago for using Magic to aid in thievery and started his own gang to continue his dirty work.", Happy said when he got off Lucy's shoulder and crossed his arms.
"I don't care who the damned hell you are but I am not letting you pretend to be a Fairy Tail wizard and let you get away with it!", Natsu said sternly and angrily at the impostor.
Bora in sheer panic spread out his arms to cast a Fire Magic spell with a red Magic Seal appearing in front of him, yelling. "I think you've blabbered on long enough! Eat this Fairy! Prominence Typhoon!"
Coming out of his Magic seal is a spiraling column of purple fire is sent flying towards Natsu and it seemingly engulfed him in an explosion.
Lucy was about to go to him but Happy stopped her briefly in her confusion while Bora and his men were seemingly pleased of Natsu's apparent demise. Sooner after, Natsu began to speak despite the flames surrounding his body. "Man, you call this Fire Magic? This flames of yours taste horrible! Yuck! Are you sure you're really a Fire wizard?"
This extremely shocked Bora and his men when the surrounding flames went into Natsu's mouth instead of burning him alive as the Salamander impostor expected him to be and the pinkette teen ate them despite its terrible taste. Finished swallowing it with a whip on his mouth using his arm and a grin, the Fairy Tail Mage. "Oh, by the way thanks for the meal."
"W-W-W-W-W-What the hell is with this kid?!", Bora yelled in panic as Natsu started his counterattack.
Pounding his fists together forming his orange Magic Seal and a burst of flames erupting around his body, "I'm all fired up now!"
As Natsu inhaled a lot of flames into his mouth and positioned his hands in a trumpet-like formation, chanting his spell. "Fire Dragon's Roar!"
Out came a large stream of fire from Natsu's mouth and took out a big group of thugs in just one hit! Except Bora who used Red Carpet to quickly evade the pink-haired teen's fire breath attack, hovering above his wounded and unconscious men as one of them yelled out to him. "Mr. Bora! I have seen this guy before. The pink-hair, the scaly design scarf, and his flames. He's the real Salamander!"
"Natsu is the real Salamander of Fairy Tail...", Lucy said in awe of the teen's great Magic power as shown in the aftermath of his fire breath spell, surveying a lot of destruction. I guess that title fits him better than that douchebag...
Gleaming at the Salamander impostor dangerously with a hint of red eye glowing, Natsu threatened Bora as he formed his flames around his fists and exerting his Magic power that caused the ground around him to shake. "Remember this asshole, this is the power of a Fairy Tail wizard! Here I go!"
"Aaaahhh! Prominence Whip!", Bora casted another Fire Magic spell as his Magic Seal fired a number of fiery, curved purple beams towards a charging Natsu who evaded them all with ease when the attacks hit the ground in a series of large explosions like fireworks while casting another spell in form of rapid fire flame bullets. "Red Shower!"
Retaliating in return, Natsu summoned his Magic Seal at his feet that allowed him to gain propulsion to launch himself into the air to reach Bora and pummeled him with his fiery fists that sent the rogue Mage crashing into the nearby structures!
"Wow, how can he do that?", Lucy slowly asked Happy in awe upon witnessing a fire battle between Natsu and Bora who then recovered from the attacks and continued on with their fight.
"It's a special Magic that allows the person to have lungs of the dragon to breathe fire, the dragon's scales to dissolve flames and the dragon's claws to wrap flames around it. So basically, the person transforms their entire being into that of the Dragon. To produce and control fire from any part of their body, which can be used both in melee and as a ranged form of offense. The Ancient Magic that was used to subdue with Dragons, Dragon Slayer Magic. That's what Igneel had taught Natsu with that Magic. Lost Magic", Happy explained about Natsu's Magic with a darkened look written all over his face.
While Natsu dealt with Bora of Prominence personally in all-out fiery and overly-destructive battle between Fire Mages, the blonde young woman, after hearing Happy's explanation about Dragon Slayer Magic, confronted mostly some of the rogue Mage's wounded but combat capable thugs who managed to survive or evade the Fire Dragon Slayer's fire breath attack earlier.
"Oh, crap. That's a lot of bad guys down there that Natsu didn't take them all out when he used his Fire Dragon's Roar... This is bad.", Happy said in a worried tone upon watching many of them cracking their fists for brutal melee beating or brandishing any kind of weapon they carried along with a malicious killing intent towards the flying talking cat and the blonde woman.
Lucy, on the other hand, calmly walked towards the mass horde of Bora's men as she reaches for her ornamental winged broken blade at her backpack sheath. "Stay back, Happy. I got this one. You best stay clear. Things will get a little messy here. Ni-shi-shi!"
Happy was surprised of what Lucy just said to him as she approached those mob of thugs as if she had won the fight already by now coming from the look on her face. Almost quite in a casual manner.What do you mean, Lucy? How are you going to fight that many of Bora's men with that broken blade?... It's impossible...
Bora's men, however, didn't look pleased or amused to see the woman who's supposed to be one of their slaves ready to be shipped off to Bosco for great profit intending to take them all on and charged altogether, foolishly believing that they'll easily beat her in strength in numbers.
"You're mine now bitch!"
"That broken blade of yours ain't gonna help you around here when you face real weapons!"
"... Or even those Celestial Spirit Gold Keys you carried around to summon your Spirits. Hell, we might even make good fortune out them once we take it away from you!"
"Women, like you should just spread your legs for us not picking up a sword much less a broken one!"
"Dogpile!"
"Booyakasha! I always wanted to say that anyway...hehehe."
"AAAHHH! SNEAK ATTACK!"
"Take her down!"
Ignoring their bawdy, lewd or rude comments, Lucy made a quick dash in a speed of light unseen by naked eye and slashed at every single one of them without breaking a sweat, cutting through them in small sword wounds despite the broken hilt which Happy couldn't even catch a glimpse of her movements, thinking that the blonde girl must have used some sort of speed-related Magic, which indirectly caused a Mohawk-haired man in his racing attire and pointy nose to sneeze in response, as she easily defeated the first wave of Bora's thugs.
Not wasting any time or give chances of her enemies to counterattack, Lucy charged again at the rest of Bora's men and attacked relentlessly, swinging her broken sword with grace and skill that took down multiple of her opponents and even broke some of their weapons and limbs that left the thugs baffled as to how a broken hilt of an ornamental winged shaped sword can do that.
The talking blue cat that can fly was baffled too, watching in surprise of Lucy's performance in her fight of her swordsmanship skill with a broken weapon she wielded, wondering if the blonde woman can be on equal terms of strength and skill than Erza in skill should the two fight each other at full power in an honorable single combat on who's a better swordswoman or maybe needs some more refinement of her skills from Titania herself, considering Lucy's a little crude style in her sword fight.
Seeing more thugs with dangerous weapons and fists who finally recovered from Natsu's first attack, still charging at her way recklessly like idiots they are, Lucy then extended her right arm holding the broken bladed weapon and clicked on a small button at its handle had not Happy noticed it before displaying a jaw-dropping shock in response of what he saw next.
The ornamental winged sword with a broken hilt had shifted drastically into a giant battle axe with a blade shaped like a crescent moon, similar to that of a Monk's spade as it cracked the ground so hard under its heavy weight!
"The broken blade turned into a giant axe?!", Happy exclaimed in extreme shock, followed by the rest of the thugs who were surprised too as well.
Lucy then lifted the giant axe with ease as if it wasn't really that heavy for the likes of her as she performed a powerful melee technique at her mob of enemies at the blunt end of her massive weapon. "Divine Axe: Rhitta! Divine Trailer!"
This melee technique in a form of a massive swing of her giant axe glowing brightly for an added powerful effect, Rhitta had sent numerous of Bora's men that got caught at its blunt end flying into the air and then crashed landed around the surrounding area knocked bloodied but unconscious.
Those remained standing who had the brains than balls not recklessly charge in with their comrades that met the end of their line made different shocked reactions towards Lucy who's still attacking them with her Rhitta.
"What the hell is she?!"
"Is she somehow related to Titania!?"
"That girl didn't even bother to use her Gate keys?!"
"No way man!"
"That broken blade turned into a giant axe?!"
"She even lifted it like it ain't even heavy for her!"
"Is she even human?!"
"Game over man! Game over!"
Happy on the other hand, was beyond surprised too after witnessing all that he saw with open jaws and wide eyes while watching the blonde girl beating the remaining thugs with the giant axe. Oh my God, Lucy's crazy strong! She wasn't kidding about her abilities back then! And that broken blade she carried around turned into a giant axe! I did not see that coming!
Finishing the last of the thugs, Lucy stood nice and tall while her enemies are lying on the ground, bloodied and unconscious alongside their destroyed weapons. She then shifted her Rhitta back into its broken sword form with a push at the weapon's handle and sheathed back in her backpack scabbard. "Hey, Happy! You alright back there. Ni-shi-shi!"
The talking cat nodded slowly as a yes, still appearing to be shock of Lucy's capabilities before turning attention to the fight between Natsu and Bora above the already devastated town of Hargeon along with Lucy.
The Salamander impostor still flying in his Red Carpet placed his arms before him that summoned his Magic Seal that built up a concentrated purple Magical energy into it that unleashed a long, large and laser-like beam on the town, enveloping it in an explosion a very long area before him in attempt to hit Natsu but the latter dodged it. "Hell Prominence!"
"Red Skull!" In one more desperate attempt to strike at Natsu, Bora conjured up a large sphere of fire shaped like a skull in his stretched arms and threw it at the Fire Dragon Slayer who caught it with ease, causing the ground to shatter before eating it completely. As he wiped his mouth off and grinned, "I am having a great meal today. Thank you very much but now I'm gonna smoke you to a crisp!"
"Smoke me to a crisp!?", the blue-haired man cried out in shock, raising his hands a little in response.
"Here goes...", Natsu said as he punched his fists again to form his Magic Seal once more and charged toward Bora and punched him with his flaming fist! "Fire Dragon's Iron Fist!"
Unable to defend from such a ferocious Magical melee attack in time, the rogue Mage who impersonated the Salamander of Fairy Tail was sent flying across the town, destroying what's left of the remaining buildings and crashing into the chapel's bell!
"I'll admit that he's amazing... but he's overdoing it...", Lucy said in a sweat-drop manner when Natsu walked towards the blonde girl and talking cat, telling them that that was a good fight he had... and a meal too despite how bad Bora's flames taste like.
Emerging from the rubble of what's almost left of Hargeon's chapel, a heavily bruised but still alive Bora recklessly charged at Natsu from behind as the Fire Mage conjured a large but concentrated Fire Magic Power at his hand in intent to take out the famous Salamander of Fairy Tail if he's going down with him.
"If I'm going down you pink-haired brat, you're coming with me! You can't escape my powerful spell this time! TAKE THIS! Red Skull Explosion!"
Seeing the danger, Happy tried to warn his pinkette human best friend of his. "Oh no! Watch out Natsu!"
In a dashing blink of speed, Lucy was in between Natsu and Bora who were both equally surprised of her sudden appearance out of nowhere, and slowly swung her broken sword at the rogue Mage's Fire Magic spell after the latter made his last blow with a sound of a metal clinking.
"Right back at you! Full Counter. Ni-shi-shi!", she cheerfully retorted with a grin on her face.
Bora frantically panics in complete shock and surprise as a large amount of power started to glow, as it began to engulf him in a blind flash of light, realizing that his Fire Magic spell has been reflected right back at him. "Th-this can't be happening! No! It can't end like this! W-W-W-W-W-Wh-who the hell are you woman?!"
Then a massive explosion of fiery blaze had occurred that completely destroyed the already heavily damaged surrounding area, nearly half of Hargeon that was seen by the people thinking in panic that a dragon had breathed out its powerful fire breath which was seen or noticed by nearly everyone throughout Fiore and some few neighboring countries, wondering what it was, sending Bora flying into the skies completely charred like an overcooked roast pig with his almost all of clothes burned off and greatly injured from the full backfire of his Spell and will later come back crashing into the ground with a large thud.
"AAAAHHHHHHH!", he yelled in pain.
Natsu and Happy, and also what's left of Bora's men could only gape in surprise and awe in a form of jaw-dropping and eyes bulging after witnessing Lucy's over-powerful reflective attack on Bora as the blonde woman, still brandishing her broken bladed sword, introduced herself of who she is with a small hint of her pride just like her grandfather.
"I'm Lucy who just kicked your sorry ass and going to join Fairy Tail! Apologize to everyone for being a big fraud and a real scumbag you really are. Ni-shi-shi!"
"I dunno who's gone really overboard? The real Salamander or her?", one of Bora's remaining thugs asked, which most of his companions answered both in a sweat-drop manner.
Soon, a large battalion of soldiers in mailed armor wielding large shields and spears led by a military officer in full body armor coming towards the destroyed site after getting tipped off by the townspeople witnessing the battle between two Fire Mages.
"Oh no, the military!...", Lucy noticed in panic as she re-sheathed her weapon back in her backpack scabbard before all of a sudden Natsu grabbed her hand and ran like hell there's no tomorrow.
"Oh crap, we gotta get out of here!", the Fire Dragon Slayer panicked as he kept running.
"Aye!", Happy agreed as he kept pace with hus human friends.
"Hey! Where are you taking me, Natsu!?", Lucy asked out loud while beginning to pick up the pace and ran along with them.
"You said you wanted in to Fairy Tail?", Natsu asked while running. "...Then let's get going!", he said with a smile.
Lucy then warmly smiled at the Fire Dragon Slayer's statement, "Okay!"
Noticing another group of the Fiore Royal Army soldiers in a blockade area with an almost impossible way to escape when they ran towards it, the blonde teen had an idea.
"Natsu, Happy. Hang on, this is gonna unsettle your stomach a little bit.", she said, leaving the two confused of her words just before getting grabbed by Lucy's arms at the collar of their neck.
In a very quick dash of speed, Lucy easily bypassed through a military blockade way too easily with Natsu and Happy still with their stomach contained, leaving the troops utterly confused of what just happened earlier!
"Whoa! That was awesome Lucy!", Natsu complimented which she smiled sheepishly in response.
"To Fairy Tail!", Happy said as the three head together towards a certain direction to Fairy Tail as they kept on running as far away from Hargeon as possible.
Mother wherever you are, Grandpa, Grandma, Uncle. I will fulfill that promise I made you and now... I'm becoming a member of Fairy Tail..., Lucy said to herself in her thoughts with tears of joy.
Author's Note: Well there you have it fellow readers all Fairy Tail and Nanatsu no Taizai fans out there! The first chapter of "Fairy's Sin" is all finished and the next update will there soon after looking at your mixed reviews of good and bad! In the next chapter will be Lucy joining Fairy Tail and makes a name for herself in the guild in a most humble way.
I noticed a fanart photo of Escanor in his weak form at nighttime blushing at the image of Merlin in his mind while clutching a paper he written a love poem for the Boar's Sin of Gluttony and liked it! That made me a shipper of the two of them almost immediately! Also includes another fanart of him in his strong form at daytime as he held his Sacred Treasure, Divine Axe: Rhitta easily with a confident look that reminds me of the live-action film version of Captain America! Check them out at Google Images if you're skeptical. ;)
P.S.: I still held my belief that Escanor may be a badass old dude in the main story after Edinburgh's Vampires sidestory that revealed him as a youth. Since the NnT databook had confirmed the Lion's Sin of Pride as the only human among the Seven Deadly Sins, then it might pave way to his debut as a tough old geezer since we humans age over the years! LOL.
In this AU spin-off story, Lucy still has her sane personality as her canon counterpart but quite on a carefree nature, courtesy of her uncle Meliodas on his visits in her childhood including the signature laugh: "Ni-shi-shi!", and inherited the strength of her grandfather, the Lion's Sin of Pride but not the curse of regaining strength at daytime and severely weakened at nighttime. Still uses Celestial Spirit Magic and has Full Counter and probably Absolute Cancel too.
Considering the relationship between Meliodas and Merlin in the manga that they appeared to trust each other on the knowledge about the Demon Clan despite the Boar's Sin of Gluttony's alleged betrayal ten years ago, I added the Dragon's Sin of Wrath into the family tree as Lucy's favorite uncle.
So let me know guys of what do you think of this spin-off fanfic story. So ideas, suggestions, advise and criticisms are always welcome so I can try my best to improve the story in future chapters later on!
Enjoy and don't forget to review! :)
