So let me start off: thank you to all the reviews, likes, and follows of this story! Seriously, without any of you all, I was considering on not finishing the story.
Due to many great comments, I have revised Chapter One. I, along with my readers' help, noticed that my story was a little too fast paced, so what you are going to read right now is a way smoother, descriptive story. Hope you like. Plan to update very soon, sorry about the late update for Chapter Two ( I have just been too busy with school about to end and tests and stress and all- everyone understands- I hope!)
To any new readers (or anyone confused about the plot): This is a Fanfic I wrote based on a new beginning to Fairy Tail. The Lucy is completely different; her personality, her upbringing, meeting the guilds, developing her powers and friendships is all different. The story starts off with introducing some of the Avenging Angels guild members (my OCs) and some of Lucy's background story. Hope everyone likes! Thank you for reading.
And just a reminder, this story makes many references to the Lord and His people. If anyone is offended I am truly sorry. I respect everyone's opinions, and this is my opinion on God's and His Angels' roles in our world.
"Some call me Fallen Death, others call me Lucifer. But really I am the she-devil sent straight from hell.
I am God's avenging angel, sent to control the world's evil. I am the mother of the Good and the Evil. I control the Light and the Dark, the Hopeless, the Abandoned, the Bounded, and the Cursed.
It is not a job I like, it is something I am forced to do- I am forced to maintain the balance of Good and Evil in this world. But it is these orders from God… I am willing to take, if it means I end up a hero.
And for the sake of Humanity, I will fulfill my orders."
That story, it haunts my dreams and thoughts. That story… it is the one my dragon used to tell me as I fell asleep at night.
The dragon… she used to tell me that I wasn't named after some old tavern, like my late mother and father once told me. My name- Lucy- was short for another name… Lucifer. I was named after the angel that fell from heaven.
And according to old stories, humans were told that he fell because of his evil, and was sent to rot in hell for eternity for his sins and crimes. But really the he was a she. (More on Lucifer being a girl later on in the story).
I met my dragon mother when I ran away from my home when I was seven. My home, where I lived with my mother and my father… it was a happy place; I was deeply loved… until my mother died. My father became cold and power needy. I ran, sad and alone.
Deep in a dark forest, I laid down; my seven year old body hungry and tired, slowly preparing itself for death. There in the scary forest, the dragon found me crying. She, at first was frightening, a big scary creature, then she transformed into a beautiful human.
The dragon took me in and raised me as her own child. She would tell me this story about the Queen of the Devils every night as I cradled my little body to her scaly one; I would lay down my head and try to fall into a deep sleep.
She would whisper these words: "I am the she- devil… risen from the pleas of the Broken…" she would pause and hum to herself. "Lucy? Do you understand this story?" I would look into her black eyes and shake my head no.
"Well that's okay. When you are older, you will understand." She would transform herself back into a human and pull me close to her chest. She would pat my golden hair and put her soft lips to my forehead. I would drift off listening to the loud heartbeat of my dragon mother. "You will, I promise." The last words I would hear before darkness clouded my mind and pulled me into the ocean of dreams.
After meeting the dragon, I trained day after day, non-stop. The she dragon would never let me pause.
"It is to make you stronger, my Lucifer. And soon you will be stronger than a dragon! You will be equal to God's avenging angel." She would chuckle before drilling me again.
And I did become stronger. With no human interaction, growing up in a forest miles from human civilization, I learned to survive. I could run faster than a mountain lion, hunt better than a wolf, even perform magic equal to my dragon mother. She taught me to control the few keys that my human mother left me behind.
I was fine. Just fine living with my dragon; I didn't need friends, whether human or animal; I never had problems to cry about. The dragon would push me in training because she loved me, that is why. And isn't that what love is? Making the one you love physically and mentally strong?
Well, I thought that was what love was. Until the dragon disappeared one day, and I never saw her again.
After my dragon disappeared, I was ten. For seven years after her disappearance, I traveled alone in the world of humans the dragon made me shun.
During my travels, I met people who were like me. They were abandoned and hopeless; family less. Together the twelve of us used our magical abilities and formed a guild.
At first, we didn't have a clue on what we should do. Fight good or fight evil? Take over the world or save it?
We choose to fight evil, and became a powerful guild… naming ourselves the Avenging Angels. The twelve mages of our guild lived in isolation, deep in bunker hidden under ground. We were fine and perfect… until another guild came and destroyed the peace of our lives.
One day, as I sat on my makeshift bed and tried to finish the latest book I was reading, I could hear little footsteps running through the bunker's tunnels.
"Sissy!" a child's voice yelled. I sighed and closed the book. I waited for the child to come to my doorway.
There were twelve of us, right? Including me, a seventeen year old Lucy. Our guild ages ranged from seven to eighteen. All of us were extremely powerful, even little baby Korbin, the child trying to get my attention at the moment.
"Sissy!" she yelled again. Running into my room and practically flying onto my bed. I barely caught her before her body soared to the other side of my bed.
"Hey silly." I said as I hugged the little girl, she giggled. Carrying her in my arms, I got off my bed, padded across my dirt floor. I blew out my candle light before exiting my room and taking the hyper seven year old child to the center point of the bunker, our Gathering room.
I sat us down on the dirt floor and played with Korbin's hair as she babbled on and on about her day exploring with Toma and Serna.
"And then Toma grabbed the lizard with a stick and stuck it in Serna's face." She paused. And guess what, Sissy?" she asked. She turned her head to look me in the eye. Her eyes were wide with excitement.
"What?" I smiled.
"She screamed and the lizard fell onto her shirt. Then she chased Toma, shocking her with her lightning bolts." I smiled at the orange haired girl.
Then the two said devils walked in.
Toma and Serna. Toma is an obnoxious eleven year old boy, with dark black hair and ocean blue eyes. His best friend, Serna was his complete opposite. She is sweet, soon to eleven, girl. In comparison to Toma's physical features, she had the whitest hair and dark brown eyes that contrasted her face.
These two were one of the last A.A members to be found. They were found together in an old shack, shivering from cold, hunger, and fear. They were from a village destroyed by a dark guild. The only surviving members left from the tragedy.
Those two were truly best friends and their powers were proof. Serna is a lightning use, capable of manipulating charged particles in the surrounding to form her own bolts of shock; she is even strong enough to manipulate a tiny thunder storm.
Toma is also able to use particles in the air- sound waves. Using the waves he can amplify sound. His trademark move is the Thunder Clap.
Together they make their own thunderstorm, together they are scary.
"See Serna! There she is!" Toma shouted when he saw me sitting on the floor with Korbin.
"Korbin," Serna sat herself on the floor. "You can't go running off all the time. You scared me and Toma! We thought an outsider found you." Serna lectured. Korbin looked at the ground, lip quivering and ashamed.
"Hey, don't get mad at her." I told Serna. "She didn't mean to. And anyways shouldn't you be watching her to make sure she doesn't run off, instead of teasing others… Toma." I glared at the boy at the boy who was trying to escape to the boys' side of the tunnels.
He pulled up his hands and made a jazz hand gesture. "You can't get mad at me. I didn't hurt anyone right? It was just for fun… besides Korbin was here in the guild. I knew she was fine." I rolled my eyes at the boy.
"Whatever." I sighed. I looked back at the white haired girl. "Did you see any of the boys outside?"
"Yeah." She said. "Aiden told us to come inside...because we were getting in the way." She tried to imitate Aiden's deep voice, but failing with her high pitched one.
Outside the older boys of the guild, Aiden, Rex, and Jaden were keeping watch. Lately, many outsiders have been getting lost in the forest and almost wondering into the guild. Everyone has been trying hard to keep our secret hiding place hidden.
I pushed Korbin off of my lap and brushed myself off.
"Well, let's lunch for everyone, Senra." She followed me to our pantry area. I turned around. "Toma, don't do anything stupid." The boy rolled his eyes. "Watch Korbin." He rolled his eyes again.
Keep doing that, kid. I thought. They are going to get stuck that way.
I hummed while Senra and made two dozen sandwiches. It was a peaceful afternoon.
"Lucy?" I pause. "Hmm?"
"I was wondering..." Senra stopped her sentence. A strange look showed on her face.
"What's wrong?"
"There is trouble outside." Fearing the worst I stopped what I was doing and ran to the tunnel that led outside.
Once I was outside, I could see Rex fighting a pink haired boy, he was about mine and Rex's age.
Analyzing the boy, I could see he was a fire bearer. His counterattack to Rex's magic were strong. Somehow, though the boy seemed to be holding back.
"Rex, stop." Both boys stopped and looked at me.
"But..." Rex complained, but ceased his fighting and backed up to where I stood.
"Who are you? What do you want?" I asked, I summoned magic to my hands, preparing for a fight, the pink haired boy turned his body, just slightly to look at me straight on.
On his arm was a guild Mark, the Fairy Tail insignia!
Oh no. I thought preparing myself to raise a warning and get everyone away from the boy.
"My name is Natsu and I am not here to hurt you or your guild... Celestial dragon slayer, Lucifer." The boy brought his hands up in surrender.
"How do you..?" My voice trailed off as I fell to the ground. I grasped at my head. It felt like it was on fire, I tried so hard to fight it. Until I passed out. My last cry to my friends lost in my throat. I couldn't warn them to run.
Even in unconsciousness, I could hear my Guild Mates cry out.
We are under attack! I wanted to yell at them.
