Hi readers! I'm excited for chapter 4! Here it goes! Thanks for reading and enjoy.
Lucy's POV
I laughed and turned to the map Erza was holding. I then bumped right into her because she stopped. "Everybody stop!" she yelled and everyone did. We all looked at her and not what was in front of us. Then everyone but me looked forward and I took the map from Erza.
"The map says we are right where we need to be. Where's the sign that this is an area affected by the curse..." I said looking around and trailed off as I saw what was in front of me. It looked like Master Jose's phantom soldiers had made a blockade around the town, but it wasn't them. it was frozen statues of people who had been stuck like that in time for years. Ever since the start of the curse.
"WHAT IS THAT?!" Natsu yelled scared half to death by the statues. They made an entire dome around the 10 mile circumference. Trust me I know. Erza made us walk the whole perimeter to try and find a weak point. There wasn't one.
"Well there is good news and bad news." Erza said as she and Mira came back from having a little one on one conference about the situation. "The good news is that we just have to find the wizard who created this barrier and defeat him in battle to return the village back to normal. That should be easy too because since the spell is so strong it would require that the wizard still be adding magic power to the barrier to keep it going. That means the wizard is nearby. The bad news is he could be any where from here to the town or even inside the dome so we have to find him or it will be much harder than we thought. Without finding this dome's creator I don't think that even Master Makarov could bust this thing open." Erza finished looking down in shame because even her, the great Titania couldn't defeat this.
"Come on guys! We are a large group of Fairy Tail Wizards! Nothing can stop us if we work together. Come on who's with me?" I yelled putting my hand in the middle of the circle we had unknowingly created. At first everyone just looked at me like I was crazy, but then I said. "You all know we can do it. We created a stasis where we didn't age to protect ourselves and Tenrou Island. We can do this!"
"Lucy's right!" Natsu said and put his hand on top of mine giving me a hopeful and supportive grin and I returned it. I then saw that the others were all slowly but surely adding their hands to the pile and finally it was just Erza.
"Well, I guess their's no harm in trying." she said conceding and putting her hand on the top.
"For Fairy Tail." i said and we threw our arms up in their air above us. I knew that this was a small and seemingly useless exchange, but it gave hope to the whole team. We all knew that we could do it now and there was nothing that was going to stop us from trying.
4 hours later
"I give up!" Natsu said after he finished his turn at giving everything he could to trying to break the dome.
"Well. I guess that leaves me as the last one to try." I said as I walked up to the dome. I lightly placed my hand on the dome and I heard a crack. Everyone then turned their heads towards the sound and saw that my touch had cracked the dome 2 S-class wizards couldn't crack together.
"What the hell?" Gray said.
"How did you...?" Erza said amazed.
"LUCE YOU DID IT!" Natsu yelled running up and hugging me from behind.
"WAY TO GO LUCY." said all three Strauss'.
"Yay for Lushi." Happy said.
"I only made a crack I don't have any idea if I can break it." I said not wanting to get their hopes up.
"Lucy, you just barely touched it and it cracked, think what would happen if you used Uranos Mega on it." Natsu said smiling.
"It's Urano Metria Natsu." I said rolling my eyes at him for messing up the names of my spells again. "I can try but not promises guys." I said and then got to work in casting the Urano Metria.
I pulled out Gemini's key and I work their merge armor. I then said "Be me Gemini." and a carbon copy of me in this exact moment with the exact same armor I was currently wearing appeared, we then worked together to cast the spell making it four times stronger than ever before because of the armor and the fact that there were two of me.
"We're casting Urano Metira Gemini!" I said.
"Pete Pete We understand miss Lucy Pete Pete."
"Oh Stars far and wide that embody the heavens, by thy radiance reveal thy form to me, I ask that you lend your power to me, I emplore tetrobiblous eternal ruler of the stars above, with all 88 heavenly bodies, shining! URANO METRIA!" we said in complete synchronization and with that the spell was cast and upon impact the dome shattered into trillions of tiny black glass shards and fell to the ground.
"WHAT?!" we all said, but then I felt dizzy. I fell to my knees as Gemini and my merge armor disappeared.
"LUCE!" I heard Natsu yell, but to me it sounded like a whisper. It was like all my ears could hear was rushing waves of water. Then my vision swam and I soon lost it completely and faded into the blackness.
