EDITED
A/N: So this idea just suddenly popped into my head after reading a bunch of fanfics where Lucy is badass or there are mafias or gangs. So I hope you like it and all rights to Hiro Mashima.
Chapter 1: Hearts Introduced
Everyone knew about them, but no one knew them. The secret mafia. The strongest mafia. The terrifying mafia. If you were on their hit list you were dead. No way around it. They were the Celestials. Sure it was an odd name, but the power behind it was phenomenal and if you got their calling card, well, you might as well kill yourself because you wouldn't be able to get away. There were four levels in the gang, the Silver keys, the Zodiac (or Gold Keys), the Gods (or Blue Keys), and the Summoner.
That was all the world knew about them. That and the four different calling card symbols. A silver key if the Silver Keys were coming, a gold key if the Zodiac's were coming, a blue key if the Gods were coming, and all three if the Lady Summoner was coming. Lady Summoner. A name that inspired nightmares in even the most vile of characters.
Celestial Headquarters
"Ah! What a good morning!" Lucy Heartfilia sat up in bed and stretched. She was 18, blond, 5'5" and deadly.
"Lucy-sama we have intel from Leo about Fairy Tail," a tall man with gold horns on his head and dressed in a butler's suit spoke.
"I'll be ready in thirty minutes Cap," Lucy replied swinging her legs over the edge of the bed and standing.
"Very well Lucy-sama. Virgo is downstairs making breakfast," the man bowed and left.
Lucy walked to her bathroom that was attached to her bedroom and climbed in the shower. Fifteen minutes later Lucy stepped out of bathroom in a puff of steam and wrapped in a towel. She rummaged in her closet and pulled out black pants and a black shirt. She pulled on her under garments and then her pants and shirt. Then she went over to a makeup table. She did a swipe of mascara, a bit of eyeliner, and some golden eyeshadow. Then Lucy pulled her hair into a makeshift ponytail. She grabbed a black belt from a rack of belts and looped it around her waist, then she picked up a whip with stars hanging from the handle and hung it on the belt. Next was a ring of gold, silver, and blue keys. Finally was a pair of black calf length boots and various knives hidden all over her person. Lucy looked herself over briefly in the mirror and headed downstairs.
"Good morning Hime-sama," a pink-haired woman in a maid outfit with broken handcuffs hanging from her wrists bowed.
"Morning Virgo, read me Leo's report over breakfast," Lucy ordered as she strolled to the counter where her breakfast was sitting. Virgo walked over to the message basket by the stove and pulled out a manila envelope. She brought the envelope over to Lucy who motioned for her to open it. Virgo did and Lucy motioned for her to read it.
"My Lady Summoner," Virgo started in her usual monotone, "Fairy Tail has made no obvious moves towards Celestials or myself yet, they are still fools for the most part, but Makarov is getting suspicious. I found out that he knew your mother and knows of your existence. He doesn't know what you look like or anything about you other than you name, Lucy Heartfilia. He has been sending out the S-Class mobsters to look for you or any information pertaining to you. As far as I know he has found nothing, but he has shared your name with the rest of the mafia and ordered that any suspects be brought in immediately. That is all for now. Faithfully Your Lion, Leo. PS I am not suspected as a double agent, but it is only a matter of time before they figure something out." Lucy hummed over the newest information as she finished her breakfast.
"What's our target today Virgo?" Lucy was suddenly in the mood to visit a mafia, and destroy it.
" Oración Seis, Hime-sama," Virgo bowed.
"Perfect," Lucy purred standing, "get Capricorn, Aries, Cancer, Taurus, and Aquarius. We leave in ten minutes. You are also coming. Silvers have guard duty."
"Yes Hime-sama," Virgo bowed once more and rushed off to the living quarters of the Zodiac. Lucy went back to her room, put in a side-half ponytail secured with a gold ribbon. She grabbed a silver and a gold, fully loaded, six-shot pistols and a pouch of extra ammo. She slung two bullet belts over her torso and grabbed her favorite semi-automatic and slung it over her shoulder. She strapped a rapier to her side. Finally, Lucy grabbed her trademark black cloak with the three different keys on the back and snapped its clasp under her chin. Checking herself over in the mirror once more, Lucy headed downstairs to meet the rest of her troops.
Fairy Tail Headquarters
"Listen up brats!" Master Makarov, as he is known by his mafia, roared, "We are going to destroy Oración Seis today!"
"YEAH!" came the collective response from everyone except an orange haired man in the corner. He widened his eyes. Lucy was going to target that mafia today. It had been on the calendar for a year now. They had sent the warning a year ago to instill fear in the gang. The Celestial symbol of a silver key, gold key, and blue key had painted on the front door and repainted daily so that Oración Seis couldn't get rid of it. He had to warn Lucy, so the man pulled out his phone and called Virgo.
"Leo," the warrior maid's emotionless voice came over the speaker.
"Virgo we've got a problem," the man, Leo, spoke hurriedly, "Fairy Tail's gonna crash the party you have an hour." Warning given, he hung up and stuffed his phone in his pocket, not aware that the Master's right hand man, Gildarts, saw the whole call.
"Go prepare for war! You have an hour!" Makarov yelled and everyone cheered, rushing for their rooms and weapons. Leo, known as Loke in Fairy Tail, waited for the stampede to clear before sauntering to his room.
"Hey Loke," a man with black hair popped up next to him.
"Hey Gray," Loke answered dully.
"Are you excited?" Gray asked happily, "Cause I am!"
"Yes," Loke said in a very unhappy tone of voice. He missed his Lady.
"Aw man, what's up?" Gray picked up on his tone of voice immediately.
"The sky," Loke answered sarcastically.
"I don't think I've ever seen you fight," Gray realized suddenly. And you won't ever see me fight seriously unless we attack Fairy Tail, Loke thought sourly.
"I prefer solo jobs," Loke said casually.
"I used too, until I got dragged on my first team job and ever since then I've never done a solo job," Gray exclaimed happily as they mounted the stairs and made it to the second floor where the boy's dorms were.
"Fantastic," Loke said drily, "Now excuse me this is my room."
Loke ignored Gray and entered his room. He began to pull on his equipment. First was a black shirt with a gold key over his heart. The key was hidden inside a big design of gold swirls. He always wore this shirt when he missed his mistress too much. It reminded him of his purpose on the mission. Next, he pulled on black pants and combat boots. He stuck a knife in each boot and a gun in his waistband. Loke missed fighting as Leo the Lion from the Celestials. He had much better gear and was allowed to go all out. Plus he'd been able to proudly wear his status as the leader of the Zodiac and one of Lucy's most trusted hitman. Finally, Loke slipped on his bronze knuckles and stepped out the door. He walked down the stairs and was promptly pulled into a side room.
"Gildarts," Loke stated once he caught his balance and saw who had pulled him into the room.
"Loke," Gildarts replied stoically. He was wearing black pants tucked into heavy, black boots and no shirt. He had on a ragged, black cloak without a hood that displayed the Fairy Tail mark on his chest. The large man had no visible weapons on his person, but Loke knew there was at least two guns, five knives, and bronze knuckles somewhere within easy reach on his person.
"Can I help you?" Loke asked in an even voice. He knew in his current state he couldn't take Gildarts, but if he was in Celestials and had Cap for back up he could, probably.
"Yeah you can," Gildarts crossed his arms and stared at the spiky orange haired man, "You can tell me who you were talking to."
"My girlfriend," Loke replied without missing a beat. He had been trained in the art of interrogation and knew exactly how to respond without raising suspicion.
"Who?" Gildarts wasn't going to let up that easily,
"Aries. She's retired from Blue Pegasus. I had to cancel the plans we made for today." That was half-true which was better than completely false. She was 'retired' from Blue Pegasus, but she was on her way to destroy Oración Seis not meet him at a park or something.
"Alright. You're off the hook this time, but I've got my eye on you." Gildarts warned, opening the door of the room they were in. Storage room, Loke noticed disinterestedly.
"Yes sir." Loke saluted mockingly and joined the rest of the troops in the main hall. There was still thirty minutes before they left. Oración Seis was most likely already half destroyed.
With the Celestials
"We're moving out troops!" Lucy cheered as she met her troops downstairs at the door. They all wore cloaks with their Zodiac symbol on the back. Virgo was on the phone. She snapped it shut just as Lucy reached them.
"Bad news Hime-sama," Virgo did not, however, look worried, "That was Leo. He said we have an hour before Fairy Tail crashes the party." Lucy grinned maniacally.
"What are we still doing here then?" she cheered, "move out! We have a time limit now people. Go, go, go!" The six Zodiac members followed their leader and savior out the door and along the rooftops to Oración Seis.
