—The Promise Of Origami—
A Fairy Tail Fanfiction
Written By: Mari Kia Aishiteru
The Resurrection of the Great Celestial Mage Arc
Episode 01
The Secret Mission
Team Natsu was one of the teams who took a mission for their obvious personal reasons: one, for Natsu and Happy's food expenses; Two, for Gray's savings; Three, for Erza's everyday expenses and rent and last but not the least, the very usual reason…
To pay off Lucy's rent.
The mission should have been simple: defeat the monster that lives in the forest. The monster had been eating the town's food stocks and then retreat to the forest near the said town. The pay was 50000 Jewels. Enough for the four of them, since Happy and Natsu were of the same roof. The mayor of the town sent the mission request in hopes of some mages stopping or killing the monster. And so, after the mayor slash client's explanation, the team of five went to the forest and was immediately met by the monster, because of its sensitive nose. The group readied to fight.
Natsu Dragneel made the first move towards the monster, never intimidated by its huge appearance.
"Let's go, Happy!" he exclaimed, all fired up as always.
The blue exceed partner of him, Happy, replied enthusiastically. "Aye sir!"
The three left prepared a battle stance with the red haired armored mage in the middle of the two.
"Lucy, Gray, let's go too."
"Yeah!" the two mages replied simultaneously as they spread out, individually attacking the monster.
Erza Scarlet requipped in her black wing armor and slashed the monster's left arm using her sword. Natsu breathed in from below her and called out, "Fire Dragon's Roar!" as he let out the fire from his mouth towards the monster. It shook and stood its ground. They were surprised by its body.
"It's not working on him!" Happy declared on his spot above Natsu, his wings behind him.
Meanwhile, the blond celestial mage stared at the monster carefully. Her eyebrows scrunched in deep thought.
It felt like I've seen this monster somewhere… she was so deep in thought that she didn't notice the tail of the monster was already on its way to her. She was only waked up from her reverie when Happy's frantic voice called out her name.
"Lucy!"
It was too late though because she was hit by the monster's barbed tail. She screamed painfully as she touched the ground, bearing her friend's call to her.
"Happy!" Natsu yelled as he glared at the monster, "Get Lucy and stay back!"
"Aye sir!" the blue exceed didn't waste any time and quickly took the fallen blond and flew behind all of them. Gray Fullbuster, who was near to them, ran towards his friend and kneeled next to her worriedly.
"Lucy! Hang on!"
Lucy opened her eyes. Her right side hurt because it was hit by the barbed tail of the monster. Other than that, she was alright.
"I-I'm okay, Gray. Don't worry." She said with a slight smile as she sat up. Gray attempted to push her down but she stopped him with her left hand. "I'm okay, really. I'm sorry to worry you."
"Ah, no, it's alright. If you say so." Gray smiled at her and then turned to Happy. "Take care of her; I'll help Natsu and Erza."
"Aye!"
Gray went over to Natsu and Erza and released his magic. "Ice Make: Lance!" Several lances made of ice made its way towards the monster to no avail. It didn't even affect him. The ice maker mage cursed to himself. Natsu used his Fire dragon's Wing Slash as Erza tried a thunder attack on the monster using her Thunder Empress Armor but it was useless as well.
From behind, Lucy watched the fight. She certainly saw that monster before. But where?
She stared at it for a while. Think Lucy, think.
Happy looked at her confused. "Lucy?"
The blond haired celestial mage didn't seem to hear the exceed as she think. Suddenly, like a light bulb appearing on her head, her eyes widened. Oh, that's right!
"I know now!" she exclaimed. Happy was surprised at her outburst. "L-Lucy?"
"Happy! I saw that monster in a book before! It was the Rajaan!"
"Rajaan?" The blue feline asked in wonder. Lucy nodded vigorously.
"Rajaan is the minotaur-like beast with two large horns on its head. I remember its weakness is…" she trailed off and looked on her friends.
Natsu used a Fire Dragon's Dazzling Blaze against the enemy. Gray used his Ice Make Geyser, freezing the monster in the process and Erza used her sword to destroy the ice along with the monster but it had the opposite effect. The monster was revived and attacked Erza—who was near it—with its sharp claws. The red haired mage was able to dodge and she requipped into her the Knight Armor and attacked the monster with her raining swords but it was prove useless against it.
The three cursed together.
"What's with this monster?" Natsu asked in frustration.
"Nothing is working on him!" Gray proclaimed his opinion, dodging another attack from the enemy.
"We need to find its weakness!" Erza told them as she dodged in the air.
Meanwhile, Lucy nodded after thinking for a while. "Okay that would work."
Happy looked over to her in wonder. "Lucy, why are you talking to yourself?" The blue exceed put his paw on his mouth to stifle a laugh. "Don't tell me you hit your head and gone insane?"
The celestial mage turned to him with a glare. "What did you say, you stupid cat!"
"Waaahh! Lucy's scarier even when she's gone mad!" cried Happy.
Lucy sighed, "I didn't even hit my head earlier and I don't have time for this. Anyways, I've thought of an idea of how to defeat the monster."
The blue exceed's face lit up. "Really?" Suddenly, he looked as if she was crazy. "Don't tell me you're lying. There's no way Lucy will think of an idea."
"Shut up! What do you think I am?" She exclaimed, clearly pissed off and hit the exceed's head.
"Waa… I'm sorry… Lucy-san…" The exceed groaned under her heavy hand.
The blond nodded approvingly but didn't let go of him. "Okay then, here's the idea." She gazed at her friends and yelled, "Natsu! Gray! Erza! Listen to me!"
The three mages who were called looked at her and leaped their way over in front of her as they stared at the monster.
"I know a way to defeat the monster." She said with a determined expression.
"Really, Lucy?" Gray asked, glancing at his friend.
"Yeah, that monster is called Rajaan. It is weak against ice."
"But when I froze him earlier, it didn't work." Gray said.
"Yeah but that's because you froze his whole body. The only part you need to freeze is its head." Lucy explained.
"I see." Erza said. "Freezing its head will paralyze it."
"Yeah, that's right." Lucy smiled. "And then, you can destroy it."
"Yosh! I'm all fired up!" Natsu exclaimed. "Let's go!"
The three strong mages ran towards their opponent and spread out. Natsu roared and attacked the monster yelling, "Fire Dragon's Iron Fist!" It sent the monster on the ground as the pink haired dragon slayer called out, "Gray!"
"Yeah!" The black haired ice mage put his hands forward towards the monster's head, steam came out of his hands as he yelled, "Ice Make: Geyser!" This caused the Rajaan's head to freeze. As Lucy expected, the monster squirmed on the ground. The ice mage looked over to where Erza was and said, "Erza!"
"Yeah! Leave it to me!" she used her single sword and destroyed the ice as well as the monster's head. The Rajaan vanished into thin air, without any traces left.
Erza landed on the ground, her sword disappearing and her usual heart kreuz armor returning. She nodded lightly and proud of their teamwork.
Gray crossed his arms against his naked chest smirking.
Natsu grinned like a child and raised his fist. "Mission accomplished!"
Happy behind him raised his paw and exclaimed happily, "Aye sir!"
The both of them danced like kids in a festival as Lucy Heartfilia smiled triumphantly.
After walking back to their client's residence and collecting their pay, Team Natsu found themselves in the train station. But then, Lucy heard that question for how many times that day, again.
"Are you sure you're alright, Lucy?"
The blond haired celestial wizard of Fairy Tail in question glared up at the source of the voice. "I told you I'm alright, Natsu." She replied, voice pissed when she said his name.
"But I'm just—"
"And I said I'm alright! So just stop asking! It's annoying."
Natsu pouted and walked on with Happy behind him towards Gray, who was waiting in front of the train. They decided to take the train back to Magnolia, since Lucy needed to be treated. Lucy herself bandaged her side and she told them it was enough for their trip back to Magnolia. Erza bought the train tickets and put a hand on Lucy's shoulder. Lucy looked at her.
"Erza."
"He's just worried about you, Lucy."
"I know," she sighed as she gazed at her pink haired best friend fighting with Gray with Happy as their referee. "It's just that… he worries too much."
Erza smiled. "Well, that's just one of Natsu's soft sides."
"I guess you're right." Lucy smiled as well.
The red haired mage patted her shoulder and walked over to the two fighting mages. Lucy couldn't help but giggled when the two boys saluted to Erza while trembling.
They readied to hop on the train and she heard her name being called out.
"Lucy! We're going to leave you!" Happy declared, raising his paw.
Lucy ran towards them and reached her hand. "Wait!"
Well, worried or not, she wouldn't have them any other way.
"We're back!" Natsu declared with a grin on his face as Happy said, "Aye!"
A series of "Welcome back!" was heard among the guild members. Team Natsu walked straight to the bar where Mira was and the white haired lady welcomed them back.
"How's your mission?" she asked.
Erza looked at her and smiled. "It came out good. We completed it."
"As expected." Mira smiled at her.
"Mira, is Wendy here? Lucy got injured. She needs medication." Gray asked, looking around for the little girl.
As always, a certain blue haired water mage was looking at him but bit her lip upon hearing what her prince had said.
"Gray-sama is worried about Lucy! Lucy is taking away Juvia's Gray-sama!" Juvia Lockser said over and over again behind the pillar near the bar.
Levy McGarden, who was near her, sweatdropped as the pillar was getting Juvia's harsh treatment. "Umm… Juvia's scary."
"Gray-san," Wendy Marvell, the sky dragon slayer, moved towards the group and looked at Lucy. "I'm here."
"Oh, Wendy. Will you please?" Gray told her, gesturing to Lucy.
"Hai!"
Wendy told Lucy to sit down on the bed in the infirmary while the others waited outside. As Lucy was being treated by Wendy, Mira remembered their Master's order.
"Ah, Erza, Natsu, Gray." Mira called out to the three and they stared at her. "Master wants to talk to the three of you."
The three mages had a confused look on their faces. "Right now?" Erza asked.
Mira nodded. "Why though, Mira?" Gray asked. Always the curious one.
They noticed the S-class mage's change in expression. "It's important. You'll know when you see him though."
Erza nodded. "I understand. Come, Natsu, Gray."
"Okay."
And they walked towards the Master's office.
Erza knocked on the door and when she heard the old man's voice of "Come in.", she opened the door and they all went in. Gray in the process closed it.
The three of them stood in front of Master Makarov, whose face was impassive. They could tell something was bothering him, and it wasn't just a simple thing.
"Master, why have you called for us?"
"How's your mission go?" the old man asked, with a slight smile.
"It went well." Gray replied, arms crossed against his chest.
"Great. As expected from your team."
"Well, if it wasn't for Lucy, we wouldn't have done it."
Master Makarov raised an eyebrow. "Oh? Why is that?"
"Because she knew the weakness of the monster. Great right?" Natsu half said, half asked, his voice proud of his friend.
Master Makarov smiled at Natsu's declaration. Indeed, he was right to assign this mission to them.
Their Master was quiet for a while and it bothered the three mages. "Jii-chan?"
"Jii-san, what's wrong with you?"
The old man sighed and brought out a letter. He tossed it towards Erza. The red haired mage turned to him questioningly. "Read it."
So, Erza read it as the two boys read it from behind her.
After reading it, Erza gave back the letter to their master. "Master, you mean, you want us to investigate Lucy's mother's grave?"
The old master sighed and nodded. "I believe something isn't right so I want you three to investigate."
"But what about Lucy?" Gray asked.
"Don't tell her about any of this. She will just worry." Master Makarov said. "You need to go as soon as possible."
"Then, we will leave tomorrow morning Master." Erza said.
Master nodded. "Hm, that would be good."
"Master, we should tell Happy about this, so he could take good care of Lucy while we're gone." Erza said again.
"You're right, do it."
Erza let out a small smile and they made a move to left the room before the Master called their attention again. "Be careful."
"Don't worry, Jii-chan!" Natsu said with his usual cheery grin.
And then they left.
Master Makarov was left alone in his office, in his thoughts of what could have happen to his children that might change them.
"I just sure hope that nothing bad will happen to them."
When the three mages came back to the guild hall, they saw Wendy, Happy and Charle at the bar with Mira talking to them. They moved towards them.
"Oh, you're all here?" Gray sat down on a stool next to Wendy as he asked. Natsu looked around for his blond haired best friend.
"Wendy, where's Lucy?"
"Ah, Lucy-san went home. Her injuries are all healed and she said she wants a rest."
"Hmm…"
"Did Master tell you guys already?" asked Mira.
Erza nodded and asked her. "You know?"
"Yeah, I am the one who gave Master the letter."
"Eh? What letter is that?" Wendy asked, curious.
The red haired mage sighed. "I guess telling you guys won't hurt. Just don't tell Lucy."
"Okay!"
Erza explained to Wendy, Charle and Happy everything the Master had said and about the letter.
After that, Wendy nodded thoughtfully, overlooking her friends. "So, Erza-san, Natsu-san and Gray-san have to go on a mission tomorrow?"
Erza's arms crossed against her chest as she nodded. "Yeah, we will appreciate if you take care of Lucy for us while we're gone."
"Hai! Of course!" the blue haired sky dragon slayer determinedly replied. She thought that it was the least she could do to help and besides, Lucy was her friend too.
"Then, let's go."
Mira looked puzzled at Erza. "I thought you're going tomorrow?"
"Yeah, we're going to tell Lucy." She told her. "Don't worry, we'll tell her we will be on a secret mission."
"Lucy will understand for sure." Gray said with a thumbs-up.
Mira nodded. "Okay. Good night."
"Bye Mira-san!"
And the group walked off towards Lucy's apartment.
The white haired barmaid sighed softly. For some reason, I am feeling bad vibes. She thought.
She gazed at the closed doors that her friends had been.
To the Gods out there, please watch over them.
Lucy just finished taking a hot bath. She felt good as new. Her wounds on her side were all healed thanks to Wendy. She took note to give the blue haired girl a gift for always taking care of her and her friends. Wendy deserved it at least.
She smiled to herself as she saw her spirit Plue eating on another sweet lollipop. She dressed up in her pajamas and sat on the edge of her bed as she combed her blond hair.
After that, she stretched her arms and fell down on her bed with a smile. "Ahh~ I feel good."
"Good for you, Lucy!" a voice from behind her said. She was startled that she sat up quickly and looked over at her open window. "Natsu!"
"Yo!" he rose up his hand on the side of his head in salute.
"Lucy!" Happy flew towards her and hugged her with little arms he had.
"Happy, why are you two here, again?" there was a rising of an eyebrow from her but then, her door suddenly opened.
"Lucy."
That voice.
The blonde slowly turned her head. She had a confused expression on her face. It was rare for them to come in her apartment in this late at night.
"Um… Erza? Gray? Wendy?"
Natsu and Happy were one thing but Erza, Gray and Wendy too? Even Charle was here. Was something happening that she didn't know?
"Lucy, we have something to say."
"O…kay?"
She didn't realize that with this simple visit, everything was about to break loose.
The blond tilted her head. "So, what is it?"
They all settled down on her apartment. Natsu sat on the floor, leaning on her bed. Happy was on the table with Charle. Wendy sat on a chair surrounding the table. Erza sat on her left side and Lucy was on her right. Gray sat across Wendy. And Lucy sat across Erza.
"Lucy." Erza said her voice deep.
Lucy was used to that voice but this time, she could feel that something was amiss. "Hm?"
They all waited for Erza to start talking because if they say something that would make Lucy worry, they would painfully get it from the armored wizard.
Silence ensued before Erza asked, "Are you feeling alright now?"
Everyone including Lucy fell down, anime style. In Natsu's case, who was already on the floor, sweat dropped.
"Uh, yeah. I'm good."
"I see." Erza nodded approvingly. "Now, onto the topic."
The others settled down again.
"What is this all about?" Lucy asked, not used to the atmosphere. "Why are you all serious?"
"Lucy," the red haired began, looking at her friend. "Natsu, Gray and I are going on a mission."
"Mission?" the blond gazed at her three friends. "The three of you? Even though we just came back from a mission?"
"Yeah."
Silence overcame again and Lucy just had to ask. "Is… Is it dangerous?"
They all looked at her. The celestial wizard stared at Erza. The requip mage smiled. "It isn't. It is a secret mission from Master so only the three of us should come. Don't worry though, Happy, Wendy and Charle will be with you."
Lucy sighed, leaning on her chair, the tense in her body forgotten. "I'm glad."
"Eh?" they all asked.
"Well, you are all serious so I thought this mission will be something bad. You made me nervous for a second there."
All of them glanced at each other. It seemed like their behavior itself made her worried which what they were avoiding.
"Ah, Lucy, sorry about that." Gray said, shrugging. "We were just wondering what you're reaction would be like."
"Oh, but why are you telling me this?"
"Well, you are our friend so you have to know about this."
Lucy's eyes widened. "You guys…" She then smiled brightly. "When will you guys go?"
"Tomorrow morning."
She tilted her head. "That soon?"
"Yeah, this is important."
"Oh, I see."
Erza stood up and smiled. "Well, then, Lucy. We will go now. It's late."
The others followed Erza and waved their goodbye at Lucy.
"Okay, see you guys."
"Take care of yourself Lucy."
"I will."
And all of them left Lucy's apartment. The blond closed the door and locked it. She entered her bedroom and sighed loudly when she realized that not all of them had leave.
"I thought all of you left. Why are the two of you still doing here?" she had her hands on her hips as she narrowed her eyes at them.
"Oh, come on Lucy! We want to sleep here!" the pink haired dragon slayer replied with a pout in his place on the floor.
"Aye sir!" the blue exceed backed up from next to him.
Lucy rubbed her eyes and yawned. She was getting sleepy.
"Mou. Do what you want. Just enjoy yourself on the floor or the couch or something. I'm going to sleep now." She walked towards her bed and lay down.
Natsu and Happy happily jumped. "Yay! Sleepover!"
"You two! Quiet!" her voice roared in the room. The two sat down on the floor with a "Hai!" and Lucy closed her eyes again.
It was only a matter of minutes before the dragon slayer heard his best friend's soft breathing.
"Natsu… Lucy's asleep." Happy said from next to him.
"Yeah."
Natsu leaned his chin on Lucy's bed, staring at her sleeping face. Happy comforted himself down on Lucy's pillow, next to her head and yawned. The pink haired mage heard soon his partner's soft breathing.
Happy fell asleep on Lucy's pillow.
Natsu couldn't help but smile. Happy cared for Lucy even though he teased her about her weight and attitude problems. But, that was Lucy and they wouldn't want her any other way.
He didn't notice that he fell asleep due to the blond's soft breathing and her peaceful sleeping facial expression.
The blond celestial mage stirred in her sleep and stretched her arms before she opened her eyes. The light of the sun blinded her for a moment and she moved to her side to hide her face. She adjusted her sight and sat up on her bed. It took her a good ten seconds to process the scene in front of her.
Natsu was sprawled on the floor and Happy was on her pillow. She sighed with a smile. "Good, nothing serious."
The dragon slayer was snoring and Happy was talking in his sleep, probably about fish. Lucy couldn't help but giggle.
She stood up from her bed and cleaned herself up. It was so early in the morning. After that, she changed into her usual blue tube that traced her assets with a blue blazer and her blue short skirt. She combed her hair as she wondered when they will left for their mission. She glanced at Natsu who was still sleeping.
She smiled and put a quilt on top of him. Sometimes, he really acts like a child. It was so cute.
All of a sudden, she glanced at her desk where she would always write letters to her mother and her novels. And she thought of something.
"Oh! Why I haven't thought of that?" she whispered as she sat down and played with colored papers.
After a few hours, Lucy grinned brightly at her work. "Okay! I'm done." She hid them in a pink pouch that she had bought a few days ago.
"What are you doing?" she heard a voice ask from behind her.
"Eh! Natsu!" she was startled that she let go of the pouch. Natsu, being the curious dragon slayer he was, reached for the fallen object. "What is this?"
Lucy acted faster however, she reached for it first. "This is nothing! I'm just looking at it."
Natsu looked at her suspiciously but then grinned. "Okay!"
Lucy sighed, relieved.
"Ne, Lucy, you're going to see us off aren't you?"
"Oh, yes, of course!"
"But before that…" He gave her a wide smile before he exclaimed, "Lucy, I'm hungry!"
She narrowed her eyes and stood up from her seat.
"Natsu! How many times do I have to tell you this before you get me?"
"Ehhh~" Natsu had backed off from his best friend's murderous aura. "W-What?"
"MY APARTMENT IS NOT A RESTAURANT!" she yelled at him, causing Happy to awaken.
"Waaaah! Lucy's scary!" the exceed cried, when Natsu got a hold of him and used him as a shield against the blond's shaking in anger figure.
"L-Lucy…"
"NATSUUUUU!"
"What happened to you?"
"You look like trash, Natsu."
"Yeah, thank you for stating the obvious, ice stripper."
Erza and Gray stared at their friend who had a big bump on his head. He walked while his shoulders slumped.
"Lucy got mad at Natsu this morning so he was like that."
"Ehhh… impressive. As expected from Lucy." Erza approved with a smile and patted Lucy's shoulder. The blond just let out a soft laugh.
"Remind me to not make Lucy mad so I will never experience this kind of treatment." The ice wizard said with a smirk.
"Shut up." Natsu muttered, didn't have the energy to verbally fight with his rival and friend.
Gray looked over at his friend with a knowing smirk. "Woah Lucy, you've done a good round at him."
"I think so." Lucy said.
"And I'll say good job."
"Thanks," she smiled. "And for the record, Gray," the black haired teen glanced at her. "Your clothes."
He looked down and indeed, he lost his shirt and white blazer, again. He panicked and looked around for his clothes while Erza reminded Wendy and the two exceeds about Lucy.
"Remember Wendy, take care of everything."
"Hai, Erza-san."
"Leave everything to us!" Happy said. "I'll stay with Lucy while you're gone. I don't want to stay at home alone anyway."
Erza nodded.
The sound of a train whistle was heard and Erza called on her two companions.
"I have to give the three of you something."
The three mages exchanged curious glances as Lucy rummaged her pink pouch. She offered them to her three friends. "Here."
"Eh?"
"Lucy?"
"What is this?"
Lucy had a surprised look on her face.
"You mean, you don't know what an origami is?"
The three strongest mages of Team Natsu nodded at her.
"Okay… you see," Lucy smiled at them as she explained. "Origami is a handmade item in which you give to your closest family or friends. The origami will guide them in journey or wish them good health."
"I made this for you guys. I know you all can be reckless and I'm not there to stop you so take this. Even if I'm not with you guys, it's like… I'm still with you or something like that."
Natsu stared at his best friend. "Lucy…" He grinned like a child.
"Thank you Lucy!" He took a silver colored origami. "I like this!"
"Oh, I'll take this." Gray took a light blue one. "This is cool."
"Then, I'll take the red one." Erza held it in her hands and smiled at Lucy. "Thanks Lucy."
"You're welcome."
The three walked in the train and waved goodbye as the train took off.
"Take care of yourselves~!"
"Bye!"
And the train was gone.
Lucy smiled. Her friends would be back before she knew it. She just had to wait for them. But she would miss them, that was for sure.
"Wendy, let's go back to the guild. I haven't eaten breakfast yet."
"Natsu's fault ne?" Happy asked with a slight mischievous tone in his voice.
"Yeah, his fault. I'm really hungry."
"Hai, let's go, Lucy-san!"
Charle shook her head and followed them.
Meanwhile, the three mages sat on their seats while staring at the origami on their hands, excluding Natsu, who was suffering in his motion sickness.
"I-I forgot to ask Wendy…"
Gray sighed. "You're really pathetic, Natsu."
"Sh-Shut up…" Natsu answered and looked like he was going to puke.
The ice mage's attention was driven away from Natsu to Erza, who was looking at the Origami with a serious expression. "Erza, the origami will melt if you stared at it for too long."
"Really?" the red haired asked. Gray sweat dropped.
"Uh no, forget what I said."
"But Gray," Erza looked at him. "We need to get back soon."
Gray nodded at her and had a serious facial expression. "Yeah, I know."
The two mages sat silently, embracing the silence and facial expression was changing from time to time with Natsu's sound of gagging.
Mari: It's finally done! Please Read and review. I'll update soon. Thanks.
Information: Rajaan, the monster, is actually from a game 'Monster Hunter'. My youngest brother told me about it when I asked him. XD
