Chapter 2: Lucy Versus Meredy!
Lucy stared at her opponent with devotion in her beautiful brown eyes as she held her River of Stars whip in her hand.
The pink haired mage grinned in satisfaction at the sight of the blonde ready to fight, but she was sure that she was still weak. 'Weak blonde.' She thought confidently.
Meredy then attacked as she chanted her spell, aiming at the blonde. "Maguilty Rays!" she yelled as several yellow blades appeared from thin air, and rushed to Lucy.
Lucy immediately dodged, and used her River of Stars whip to catch hold of Meredy's leg, and pulled with swift strength which caused Meredy to fall to the ground with a grunt.
"Now open, Gate of the Scorpion, and Gate of the Golden Bull: Scorpio and Taurus!" Lucy chanted as she held the two golden keys in the air. The golden rays from the two spirits summoning outlined her features, and just for a second...Meredy felt a rush of doubt inside her. She seemed so devoted, so confident under that golden light. The brown eyed blonde even seemed to not care about the fact that the she was trying to make the her suffer. She was unfazed completely. To Meredy it was clear that she was a Celestial mage that was skilled in combat. But Celestial mages were seen as weak, as they appeared helpless without their keys. Then why did she feel so scared; even if it were for just a second?
Instantly, the two called spirits appeared. "Moo, Lucy babe! What can I do for your hot body today?" Taurus said, quickly turning into pervert mode as he swayed around. She knew he was checking her out, like usual.
"Sup, Lucy! How's it going?" Scorpio said with a grin, raising a fist with the 'rock and roll' gesture.
Lucy sighed as she face palmed, but quickly returned into posture. "Focus, Scorpio, Taurus...but I'm doing fine, thank you. I would be appreciated if you guys to created a Sand Storm so you can blind her for a while!" She said to her two friends. Both spirits quickly returned to their posture, but were still positive and in character. Meredy got back up and yelled in return a spell, "Maguilty Sodom!" From the sky came teal blades that ripped through the air like jets.
All dodged, and Scorpio began to shoot Sand Buster towards her, while Taurus swung his axe at her feet. Meredy barely dodged, but she couldn't dodge Taurus' next swing. She fell, and both took the chance to do Sand Storm. Lucy used Spirit Boost to enhance their power. She swung her River of the Stars whip to wrap Meredy in a tight embrace so she couldn't move. The attack hit her full on, doing significant damage. Meredy lay there for a while, panting. She tried to regain her strength, while Lucy felt a bit guilty.
She was about to send both of her spirits back, but someone sent them back for her.
"MAGUILTY SODOM!!" Meredy chanted angrily. The blades were made stronger just enough to send them back forcibly.
"Sorry Lucy babe!" Taurus said before disappearing back to the spirit world along with Scorpio.
Lucy looked surprised, her guilt faltering, but called three other of her spirits.
"Open Gate of the Two Twins, Open Gate of the Archer, and Open Gate of the Maiden: Gemini, Sagittarius, Virgo!"
When Gemini appeared, they automatically duplicated Lucy along with her whip.
Sagittarius prepared his arrows the second he appeared after giving Lucy a bow and a greeting. He then proceeded to wait for the plan, as he saw the threat. All her spirits could feel her distress, and it didn't help when Taurus and Scorpio were taken to recovery quarters. Aquarius was about to open her own gate. She was furious that someone dared to hurt her boyfriend, and she was even more so that Lucy didn't do anything to help him. Scorpio tried to defend his blonde master, but of course Aquarius still argued on.
"Gemini, you and I will fight her from the front, Virgo dig a hole behind her without her noticing, Sagittarius go with Virgo and fight from behind. That could give us an advantage." Lucy telepathically said to the three. It was a new skill she had learned; how to telepathically communicate with her spirits.
Virgo and Sagittarius ran off into the forest, which Meredy thought was stupid since she didn't know the plan.
"Your friends running away? How cowardly! Again, Maguilty Rays!" she called.
Again, came the yellow blades. Lucy and Gemini fought them off with their whips and by dodging, while Meredy kept chanting after chanting. Lucy and Gemini would also use their whips to do damage to her as well.
Farther into the battle, Meredy then felt explosions near her feet and fell. Sagittarius and Virgo were behind her, and attacking from a distance. Virgo was using her chains in a similar way to Lucy and Gemini at a closer proximity than Sagittarius. Now that she had to attack and repel both sides, it was easier to attack the pink haired mage. As Meredy got overwhelmed by the four, she finally used another spell.
Her strongest spell.
"I call for the connecting spell, the spell that makes many into the same pain. A spell unknown and rare, but causes pain for all who are under it's command. I call for Sensory Link!"
Lucy and her spirits looked at her with confused looks as pink rings appeared on all there wrist'.
Their confusion relieved her with satisfaction. "This spell is very powerful. It connects all of you and your senses into one. If I killed one of you, the rest would die with." she explained evilly, glad she gained the upper hand again.
Lucy looked at her spirits, worried for their safety. They looked back at her with the same expression, but they for her's. Even Virgo seemed worried, which was strange for the blunt spirit.
Lucy felt like she couldn't breathe. Her neck ached and scorched. She felt her chest feel tight. What if she hurt any of them? What if she killed them? She didn't want for her friends. She couldn't let that happen. She swallowed.
She finally had the power to say to her opponent, "What do you want?" Meredy smirked at this and said cunningly, "Blondie, all I want is for you to send your spirits back to where they came from. When you do, I'll break the spell and they will be safe. But if you don't, I'll just have to kill one of them." she said with a childish chorus at the end, laughing evilly.
"Lucy," Sagittarius started, trying to reassure and help her. "It's fine," Lucy started, cutting Sagittarius off. She gave them a sad smile. This was for them. She knew that the three wouldn't leave without force, so she had force their gates closed. "Force Gate Closure...Gate of the Two Twins, Gate of the Archer, and Gate of the Maiden. Gemini, Sagittarius, Virgo." She said sadly as she watched her beloved spirits fade away to the Celestial World. At least she knew that they would be safe there. She would do anything to keep them all safe.
"Now, it's time for your punishment. If you resist, I'll just use the spell on someone else. This place is swarming with you insects, after all." Meredy threatened to the blonde. Lucy stood there looking at the ground, fully accepting her fate and let Meredy proceed.
Meredy activated her Maguilty Sodom spell, and aimed towards Lucy. The magic blades cut Lucy. Crimson blood escaped from her cuts freely, staining her body and clothes with it's deep color.
Lucy screamed in pain as she fell to the ground helplessly. Meredy kept using the spell, and it was strong, but Meredy didn't make it strong enough to kill Lucy.
Lucy was badly injured, and couldn't move. Her muscles protested against any movements. The pain was striking, and her cuts burned like molten rock. Her muscles were unable to work. She felt dizzy and the sky seemed to turn yellow. She was losing blood rather quickly. She finally heard Meredy say before she fell unconscious, "You Fairies are pathetic."
(A/N: Did you like it? Yes? No? Maybe? IDK! But the ending wasn't supposed to be a cliffhanger, if it looks like one. Also...PLEASE READ THIS!!!I wanted to know of Lucy should become evil? Like Zeref will be evil, and since she loves him she'll end up joining him or something like that?Please let me know about your thoughts. But anyways, bye!)
