"Her secrets, long forgotten."
Inspired by "Roar of the Water Dragon"
Erza, Natsu, and Gray
Erza's P.O.V.
We had just finished our mission. And somehow all three of us stumbled into a bar. Not that any of use cared, until about an hour later when some drunken idiot came in badmouthing Lucy, saying she was,"All Beauty, no fight." Natsu almost killed the guy, but fell on his face and knocked out cold. I went up to the man. Speaking as calmly as I could currently manage due to the alcohol and how furious I was about his comment on Lucy.
"You look here mister, Lucy may not be the strongest on our team, but she is by far the smartest, and kindest."
"And how will that save you on the battle field huh? See like I thought, if you guys went to battle and she was the only one standing, what do you think would happen?"
"She... would..."
"She would fall. She would not be able to help any of you. She's your weakest link."
"She is not."
"Or is she? What happens if you had to choose between her and the mission? You would choose her. But then again who cares? It's y'all necks. Not to mention the fact she gets into more trouble then all of you put together."
Was it true? Was Lucy really that weak? No, she could use some strength, but she didn't mess up. She helped in her own way. Maybe I could bring the idea up to Natsu and Gray. Especially to Lucy I don't want her to get hurt.
"Hey, Lady, I won't be here all night you want something? It's on me."
"A strawberry cake I guess."
Later that night with Natsu, Gray, and Erza
Natsu's P.O.V.
Stinking Erza. What's the idea? Pulling me out of bed to have a team meeting. We aren't even a team with out Lucy.
"Natsu are you listening?"
"Yeah, I'm listening, Erza."
"Natsu! That's not the way you talk to me! But I'll over look it this once because I need to talk to the two of you."
Erza not pummeling me to death? Something must be up.
"It's about Lucy."
"Erza, what's this about?" I asked worriedly.
"Natsu remember that guy in the bar who was badmouthing Lucy?"
"...Nope."
"Gray, do you remember?"
"Yeah."
"Anyway Natsu he said Lucy was weak. Later when I went to chew him out, he told me something that made me worry."
"Erza, what did he say?" Gray asked cautiously.
"He said Lucy was our weakest link. He elaborated on how if all of us got defeated, would Lucy be able to defeat him? He was right when he said most likely not. I'm not doubting Lucy, but I don't want to see her hurt."
"Then we become stronger so that doesn't happen, obviously!" I said proudly
"Natsu, even if we do become stronger, what if we get separated? What if we all can't help her? She needs to become stronger. With or without us."
"But Erza, we can't train Lucy. Her magic is different. Celestial magic isn't something you can really become stronger with." Gray mentioned
"Then why do..." I started.
"Natsu, Gray pointed it out. We can't help Lucy. This is something she has to do on her own. I'm sorry Natsu. But we need to bring it up with Lucy it's her decision. You can help me, help her, or make it more dangerous for her."
I thought about it as much as it hurt me to even think about being without her for a moment. I knew Erza was right.
"I guess I'll help. For Lucy's sake."
Back at the guild
Lucy P.O.V.
Erza, Natsu, and Gray walked in having just came back from a mission. Erza wasted no time, as usual, to come sit by me.
"Hey, Lucy, maybe you should go training by yourself for a little while. Just to get stronger. I. We don't want you to get hurt in later missions because we can't fight. We'll do anything we can to help you."
Gray added, "Erza's right, just call us and we'll do what we can to help you. After all we can't help you with celestial magic. So we thought we might not be able to help you. We can go on missions to pay your rent." I look at Natsu hoping he might defend me.
"Sorry Luce, but Erza and Gray are right. I'm sorry, but i can't risk you getting hurt." he said looking really glum. Maybe he didn't want me to go, but he either way he didn't look happy.
I reply, "It's okay; I need the training anyway. Though I probably won't need your help." I lied, I knew I would need their help.
Erza says, "Are you sure?"
"We could go with you." Gray and Natsu chime in.
"No, I'm sure. I have Capricorn or Loke train me."
".. Ok. I guess we'll leave it to you then Lucy." Erza said as she walked away.
"Don't do anything stupid like Natsu." Gray called after he started jogging away.
"Be careful Luce. You know I'm always a shout away. Just call and I'll come running. But for now take this." As he wrapped his scarf around my neck. "And come back to me." He whispered into my ear. And then picked a fight with Gajeel.
As much as he changes he never does.
I leave the table and ask MiraJane where Master is and she says that he's in his office. I walk in and tell him about my conversation with Natsu, Gray, and Erza. "Are you going to leave?"
"Sort-of. I'll try to keep in touch."
"I know child but you must tell MiraJane, or she will kill you when you get back."
"She will be the only one who I will tell, Master."
"Oh and Lucy, take care and goodbye, my child."
"Good bye for now, Master Makarov."
Late that night
Natsu and friends had found a job, had it approved, and left by night fall. I went to go see MiraJane as I left, since I had finished packing earlier today. I told MiraJane and Master goodbye. I summoned Loke and Virgo. Virgo took my bags, while Loke told me he could help and that he knew a great place we could train. A place only known to dragons and spirits. It was a two hour ride, so Loke let me fall asleep while he guided the carriage. Loke and Virgo set up camp while I was still asleep. I woke up about 30 minutes later, or so they say. The place Loke took me to was beautiful, there were flowers everywhere and about one mile in each direction there were giant grooves of trees. It would be the perfect place to train. There was a huge waterfall right in front of me and a cave behind it. Loke and Virgo set up camp next to the waterfall. I walked inside, it looked just like home, well minus the electronics. I grabbed my swimsuit. "I might as well go take a swim while I have time. Then, a booming voice that seemed to come from nowhere asked "Are you Lucy Heartfilia?"
"Y-y-y-yes m-m-ma'am." I stammered.
"I'm Queen Velvinda of the Dragons." A very purple colored dragon answered.
"What w-would a q-queen of d-d-ragons want with me?"
"You are going to become my dragon slayer."
"That's impossible! I'm a key user. And I have to train!"
"You have spunk. I like that, but you will become my dragon slayer. You were destined to! And you can do much more then just summon spirits. Your power is vast and wide, yet you have not trained it properly. I know this is much for you to take in, but trust me this IS your destiny."
"Why should I believe you? I just met you! And besides I Need to train, to become stronger."
"I can train you, and help you become stronger. If I can prove my ability will you believe me? Will you accept? And will you listen to me ask for your help?"
"If you can prove it I will become your dragon slayer. And I will listen to your plea and help you in any way I can."
"Lucy, you have met Natsu, Wendy, and Gajeel, right?"
"Yes."
"Then you know they're power resides in one particular element?"
"Yes."
"Well, You are different, you can posses them all."
"Why is that?"
"Because an ancient prophecy was made long ago. It required two dragon slayer mages who could control all the elements. You are suspected of being one of these mages. As the queen of dragons it was my duty to find you, and help train you and your partner. These two mages will recreate the portal lost to us for thousands of centuries. The portal to our own world. Will you help us?"
"Why wouldn't I? I'm a fairy tail mage! We don't back down from anything."
"Thank you. Now to see if you are indeed one of these mages. Hold out your hand."
"Ok." I held my hand out.
"Turn it over."
I turned my hand so it was palm down.
"Now say,'Lightness and Darkness'."
"That's it?"
"Just say it."
"ok. Lightness and Darkness, arise to the call."
"You pass."
"Wait. What? But i added a line."
"That's the point. If you weren't one of these mages you wouldn't have known the next line to that spell."
"Spell?"
"That spell is one of many only the two mages would know."
"Oh. ok. So when do we start?"
"Tomorrow."
"Not now?"
"Darling in 3 minutes you are going to faint. Let's not push your luck."
"Wha..."
She was right. I fain..
