Chapter 1: Help Me
When I was born, everything was perfect. I was a wonderful, happy, bundle of joy, made by the last generation's two most impactful mages. Natsu, and Lucy Dragneel. I was brought to the guild a week after I was born, after my mother had convinced my father that the guild wasn't that dangerous for a newborn child. Only a week after I was born did I find out that Mama and Papa weren't the only people in my family. By the time I was four years old I had so many friends and family members that it made my brain hurt. I grew up with Fairy Tail, I wasn't afraid of a thing in the world, because, I knew that Fairy Tail had my back. They would protect me no matter what. And I would protect them. But... Could they protect me from myself?
"Simon! Simon! I have an idea!" nine year old me screamed gleefully. The purple haired mage leaned down off the bar stool, motioning for me to tell him my "great" idea.
"When I turn ten next week, You, me, Liam-san, and Deven-san, should make a team!" I squealed.
"That's a wonderful idea Luna! But don't you want Ultear-san and Lance on our team also?"
I started fiddling with my fingers as I said, "Well Ultear-san seems to not like me very much and I think she would like to have Lance all to herself..."
Lance, who had been listening in on the whole conversation turned to us with a red face and exclaimed, "WHY DON'T YOU GUYS USE HONORIFICS WITH MY NAME?!"
"Because we don't respect you." Simon and I said in unison.
But, I never got to form the team with them. Instead, fate had other plans.
"AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!" I sat strait up in my bed as pain flew throughout my whole body. I continued to scream in pain as tears flooded my eyes until Mama and Papa came bursting through my room. "Luna! What's wrong?" My mom came running over to me with her panic stricken face. "Mama! It Hurts so bad!" I screamed as tears flooded down my face. "W-where does it hurt?" My dad asked as he stumbled around the room trying to figure out what to do. "EVERYWHERE!" I wailed. "Honey! She has no wound, nothing, I don't know what to do! It's something inside her body!" My mom screamed. Suddenly, my dad came to a conclusion, "Happy! Go get Wendy!" "No! That'll take too long! We need to bring her to the guild!" "No ones going to be there! It's midnight!" "They were having a party today! They WILL be there! But just in case, when we get their make sure to fire the emergency signal!" My mom commanded. "AYE!"
Sure enough, there were people at the guild. My dad and Loke-san carried me in while my mom screamed, "SOMEBODY HELP US!" Her scream was so filled with panic that it brought everybody's attention. I remember seeing my dad running outside the guild to send the emergency flare while people crowded around me. They cleared a table to set me down while Aunt Mira-san examined me.
"Happy! Go get Wendy! She just left with Romeo and Carla so she shouldn't be too far!" "Aye!"
People were in full panic mode. People rushed around getting me water and such, but nothing helped, it hurt sooooo bad. You wouldn't even be able to fathom the pain. The most terrible thing was, I didn't know what was going on. Questions flooded my brain, When is it going to stop?! Am I going to die? If I am, Death better hurry cause this frickin hurts like balls.
"Luna. On a scale of one to ten, ten being the worse possible pain imaginable, what is your pain?" Uncle Laxus asked me.
"A nine." I blurted out.
Suddenly Aunt Wendy-san came running through the doors, followed by Uncle Romeo and Aunt Carla.
Aunt Wendy was freaking out over me doing all her doctor inspections and stuff but in the mean time I wanted someone to kill me already.
"I CAN'T DO ANYTHING!" Aunt Wendy screamed while breathing rapidly.
"WHAT DO YA MEAN YOU CAN'T DO ANYTHING?! THAT'S MY DAUGHTER!"
"WE NEED PORLYUSICA-SAN!"
"I'LL USE MEGA SPEED AND GO GET HER!"
While I heard the screams around me, all I could do was stare at the ceiling, with tears streaming down my face, and try not to scream. Suddenly, a firm hand gripped my own.
"Luna. We're here for you. It's okay. We're right here." I looked to my left to see my hopefully future team members all around me. Even Ultear-san and Lance. I started crying even more.
"I-it hurts so baaaaad!" I wailed.
"Until Porlyusica-san arrives, Ultear-san, you know how to do link magic no?" Aunt Wendy asked.
"Yes I do."
"I would like you to do a link on Luna-san and I. I must see for myself what's going on."
Ultear quickly agreed and did as Aunt Wendy asked. However, as soon as Ultear did the link I wailed out in pain and Aunt Wendy dropped to the floor, screaming harder then I myself. Ultear-san quickly undid the link, as Aunt Wendy withered on the floor. "WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT LUNA?! THAT'S A TEN!"
Suddenly, the pain was ten times worse then before. I couldn't stop screaming. "SIMON! KILL ME! I DON'T WANNA BE ALIVE! IT'S TOO PAINFULL! PLEASE!" I begged him. "SOMEBODY PLEASE KILL ME!" I could see that my fellow guild members were crying at the sight of my usually happy face asking them to do such a horrid job. But I couldn't stop. It was all to much. My mother held my right hand, Simon and Liam battled for my left, all of them saying stuff that didn't help me at all like, "It's going to be okay sweetheart." "We're gonna make our team today Luna! You just gotta pull through!" Aunt Wendy was crying hysterically on the floor, not blaming me at all for wanting to die. "ARGH! AAAAAHHH! P-PLEUHHHH!" I probably sounded like a lunatic. But I honestly couldn't care less. I had bigger problems.
Just then, Porlusica stormed through the guild doors, saying things like, "If that damn cat tries to fly me one more time, HE'S GONNA BE THE ONE THAT'S FLYING! FROM MY FOOT ENTERING HIS ASS!" I wasn't sure if I wanted her to try in help me when I was pretty sure she was the one that needed help. But never mind that. She examined me just like Aunt Wendy, and then asked Ultear-san to do the link on herself.
"NO PORLYUSICA-SAN! IT'S TO MUCH PAIN! YOUR TOO OLD TO GO THROUH SOMETHING LIKE THAT!" Aunt Wendy yelled.
"I'M NOT OLD!" There was no stopping her. So, when the link was done, Porlyusica fell to the floor and groaned. "U-Undo the link!" She struggled to get out. Ultear staggered a bit, but managed.
Porlyusica's eyes were huge as she stood up.
"LUCY! Call out the gate of the twins! Gemini!"
"O-okay! I call thee! Gemini!"
Gemi and Mini-san understood the situation in a split second and floated up to me. They felt my forehead and sighed.
"This isn't good Gemi!"
"I know Mini! This hasn't happen in over two hundred years!"
"WHAT?! TELL ME NOW!" Liam screamed.
Gemini ignored him and put they're hands over my head and started chanting in a language I didn't understand.
Suddenly, all the pain went away. I leaped into my Papa's arms and wailed uncontrollably.
Porlyusica gave me a few minutes but then she was in business mode.
"Okay child. Now stop your crying. Gemini and I have some explaining to do."
"O-okay." I said as Liam hugged me. Out of the corner of my eye I saw Papa glare at Liam-san but then he looked away.
"Luna has the magical power on the level of Zeref." You could hear a pin drop in the guild. I don't think it's ever been that quite in there.
"The reason Luna is feeling such incredible pain is because this magic is much to much for her body to handle at such a young age. At this rate, her magic will over flow, and she'll die, and she might kill many people in the process." I gasped.
"Luckily I know someone who can help Luna." Gemini spoke up. "Someone only Porlyusica, ourselves, and the Spirit King know about. Someone I must not mention to anybody else." Gemini said as they looked nervously at Papa.
"In order to receive this help, Luna must come back with me to the Spirit World." At this, Mama started crying, I could here Simon sniffle beside me, and Liam shook his head behind me. The rest of the guild was just speechless.
"Tell us who this someone is!" My Dad commanded.
"We told you. This person must be kept top secret." Porlyusica said.
"YOU CAN'T HAVE LUNA! SHE'S MY ONLY DAUGHTER!" My Mother wailed.
"I'm sorry Lu-chan!" Aunt Levy ran up to my mother comforting her.
"We're also sorry Lucy, but we don't want Luna to die. She must come with us!" Gemini demanded.
"F-for how long." I croaked out.
"It depends, At least, five years. At most, ten years in human years of course. "
I felt my stomach drop.
"I don't wanna leave my family!" I said with a trembling lip and shaking hands.
"I'm terrible sorry Luna-san. But Virgo-san is already at your home gathering your belongings."
That was it. There was no if, ands, or buts. I was going. It broke my heart, that I would have to leave for such a long period of time. Gemini gave me an hour to say goodbye to everyone, then that was it.
First, I said goodbye to all my Aunt's and Uncles. I think the top five that cried the most was, Aunt Erza, Aunt Canna, Aunt Juvia, Aunt Levy, and for some reason, Uncle Gray. I thought he despised me.
Next, I said goodbye to my friends.
Simon couldn't stop crying. He was one of the strongest people I knew! And he was crying! Over me!
"Simon I'll miss you! Will you save me a spot in the team?" I looked up at him with tear filled eyes.
"Absolutely Luna. I'll make sure no one forgets you and I'll be waiting for your return."
Devan couldn't stop shaking. He looked at me like I was already gone, which broke my heart.
"Devan, your one of my best friends. And you'll still be in a few years. But, please, I beg you, please take care of my parents."
"Sure thing Luna. Please don't forget me in the Spirit World!"
"I WONT! I won't forget anyone!"
"Oh and one more thing Devan, don't drink." I looked at him sternly (well, as sternly as I could cause I was only nine) Then moved onto Ultear.
Even though Ultear and I "aren't the best of friends" I still had to say goodbye.
"Ultear."
"What do you want Love Rival?"
"When I get back I better see you in a relationship with fancy pants over there." I said as I pointed to Lance.
She blushed, "Don't tell me what to do!" She yelled.
I laughed and moved onto the next person. But before I could, surprisingly, she pulled my into a hug and whispered something only I could hear. "Sorry." However that one word was enough, and I hugged her back.
"Now, when I get back we can try to be better friends k?"
"I would love that!"
Lance couldn't stop hugging me.
"I'm gonna miss you Luna!" He said as he pulled me into a bear hug. "You've always been like my little sister!"
"Good cause I think Ultear is getting jealous over there."
He pulled away with a hard blush, "Whaaaat? N-nah..."
"When I get back, you better be in a relationship with her, or I'm gonna beat you senseless with my new magic!"
"A-aye!"
Liam... When I went to say goodbye to Liam, I couldn't stop blushing.
"Ummm. While I'm gone, don't read yourself to death k?" Read yourself to death? WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU LUNA?!
But like always, he answered physically instead of verbally. He pulled me into a tight hug and whispered in my ear, "I'm already dead without you."
I
Don't think
I will ever
Blush harder then I did that morning.
I pulled away and started to walk away, but quickly changed my mind finding courage out of no where, walked back up to him, kissed him on the cheek, and said, "You better be single when I come back." Then I dashed off looking for Mom and Dad.
Saying goodbye to mom and dad was the hardest thing I've ever done in my life. That was saying a lot.
In fact, I don't even wanna talk about it. Long story short, lots of tears. Even from the almighty Salamander.
Next thing I knew, Gemini-san was ready to go.
