Mission 5; Success
Lucy's POV;
I honestly can't believe it. Here I am, with my gun ready to do some serious damage to the idiots destroying the peace in this town and it turns out to be my friends?! Sting Eucliffe and Rogue Cheney. I haven't seen either of them in like 3 years.
Sting was the first to break the silence,
"Lucy? Long time no see!" His lips curled into a smirk, an arrogant one. "What a way to show up? Did you miss me or something?"Still the same old Sting, I thought, rolling my eyes.
I gave him a nasty glare,"Uh huh, long time no see. And no, I didn't miss you and never will." He faked a pout. "—either way, what are you two doing? Why are you doing this? What's the point? And if you tell me it's to rule I swear I'll punch you so hard you'll see stars."
Rogue chuckled behind his cold mask, his eyes piercing into mine.
"Rule it? Please, why would we get involved in something that tedious?"
He took a glance at his comrade who nodded lightly,
"We were sent here for a mission, and we're doing our job. That's all."
"What kind of mission that needs to destroy the peace of such a small town?!" Lisanna exclaimed. She turned her head towards me, "Lu-chan! Who are these people?"
"We're her…friends." A gun shot rang out, belonging to the boss of Lamia Scale, Lyon Bastia, just slightly missing Sting's face and grazing his hair instead.
"I'm going to ask you once to surrender and tell me who ordered these attacks. Do not move or I will pull the trigger?" The boss angrily demanded to the both of them.
I saw Sting's fingers twitch, heading for his own gun, my eyes widened immediately and shouted a warning to Lyon.
"Lyon! Watch out—!"
Turns out that I was half wrong. Sting did reach out for his gun; though he didn't shoot where I thought he would. I thought he would shoot the chief or his deputies. But no.
He shot at me.
Thankfully, as a result of my trained reflexes, I was able to dodge the bullet. Strands of my blonde hair were cut and my cheek is bled due to the bullet, clearly I didn't dodge fast enough to spare my cheek.
Sting spoke, "Lucy, we're may have been friends but…right now we aren't. We belong to a different mafia family and with different mission. Do you know what happens when members of two different guilds show up and have different missions?"
"That makes us your enemies for the moment. Didn't your boss ever tell you to never let your guard down?" Rogue continued in his infuriating superior tone of voice. His hand began inching to his waist, and I immediately stood, tense, waiting for whatever stunt he was going to pull. Then, without me noticing, he materialized behind Lisanna and pulled the trigger, almost getting her though she was fast in her own way enabling her quick evasion, the bullet lodging itself in a cement wall instead.
How did he get there so fast?!
Lisanna pulled out her throwing knives and aimed at Sting, he dodged that thinking he had successfully evaded assault when Lisanna made a pulling motion with her hands and suddenly, the knives came rushing back in the opposite direction and nicked his sleeves. Sting brushed the dust from his shirt, throwing a lazy smirk to the silver haired woman who was unimpressed with the man before her.
"A knife with strings attached to them huh? Quite a sneaky lady you are" Lisanna quickly moved her hands, surrounding him with her knives.
"You`re trapped within these knifes and strings, if you move an inch and I won't hesitate to pull back the knifes, I swear it. Surrender now, you two." She demanded, glancing at Wendy, she shouted. "Wendy, now!"
"Hai!" Wendy pulled her arrow and released an arrow in Sting's direction. The arrow suddenly began to change shapes until it had the shape of an arrow with blue wings. It landed on the ground and there was a large whirlwind, "Kyaa!" Wendy's voice rang out, and I quickly turned to her direction.
"Wendy!"
Sting smirked smugly, "Never let your guard down right?" Wendy had been immobilized by a stun gun that Sting was now twirling lightly in his fingers.
"1 down, two more to go" Lyon winced
"Forgetting about the cops, Sting Eucliffe and Rogue Cheney?" He snapped
Sting just widened his smirk, "What cops exactly?"
Lyon looked around and found that all of his men were down for the the wreckage stood Rogue sheathing his katana.
"H-how?!" Lisanna breathed, "I was certain that he was by Sting's side a second ago but…"
"But you didn't see me move, right?" Rogue said unimpressed with our deduction skills, as I stared wide eyed at him when he suddenly disappeared from my vision like a blur and re appeared in front of Lyon who suddenly collapsed. "It's…because I'm a Shadow, remember?"
"When the little girl had pulled that arrow, and pointed towards us. There's a large whirlwind yes? Sting used that as an advantage to use his speed and appeared behind her while I used my technique and wiped out all of the cops without any of you even noticing."
I quickly fired a shot at him, which failed terribly because he disappeared again. I grabbed my whip from my belt and launched it at Sting, with a bullet heading towards him as Lisanna threw her knifes again. He grabbed a nearby steel rod and blocked the bullet with it with also blocking the knifes. Rogue unsheathed his katana and cut the strings, grabbing the whip with his free hand.
Impossible, they…how can they do that? So fast…
I released my hold on the whip and pulled out a second gun, pointing both of my guns at them; I pulled the trigger repeatedly even as they blocked it with their insane speed. I expected Rogue to disappear again but instead Sting was the one to disappear, and Rogue, he didn't disappear, he merely ran faster than any human could hope to Lisanna, ready for attack. I managed to get a solid aim at Sting and hit his shoulder, causing a fair amount of bleeding. He turned to me, his movemts not affected by the wound.
"Huh, seems like you can follow my speed huh? Well then nowhere to go but up, right?"
My eyes can't see him anywhere! It's like he's running at the speed of light or something!
The next thing I knew, Lisanna was hit by the stun gun as well and collapsed, leaving me as the only thing that stood between them and their destruction.
"Lisanna!" I yelled desperately.
Sting smirked, "Two down, now Rogue, let's do what we came here to do. Capture the girl."
Capture me?!I shouted in my head, shocked at the revelation, did that mean that everything they had done was to capture me? Never mind that! I have to incapacitate them first! So I ran away from the site, while shooting at them, and when I ran out of bullets, I grabbed a cops' pistol from the ground and used it a few times, when it ran out of bullets I changed pistols again. This time, I managed to locate a saber at Lyon's waist and pulled it out,Thank God for lessons that he had taught to me.I grimaced at the thought of my father. Though I absolutely despise him, for now, I'll be grateful to him for teaching me the way of the swords.
"A Saber? Do you think that you can fight using that and defeat me, Lucy? Are you underestimating me or what?" The dark haired male snapped, glaring at me. I flinched at the tone he used and the glare, we had been friends for a long time and I had never been on the receiving end of that glare. "I hate being underestimated you know"
Those red eyes glowed with evil, those red eyes that were similar to the devil himself are glaring at me.
I was starting to feel scared now but steeled my resolve. No! I can't wimp out! I'm a member of Fairy Tail! I will take them out or go down trying!
Regardless of my fear, I charged Rogue who met me mid way. Our swords clashed, and I felt a sudden memory come to the forefront of my mind.
"Worthless, I admit your bravery to use swords to me; however you still fail to amuse me. Now I shall take you away from that worthless mafia family, Fairy Tail right now" Tears were threatening to spill from my eyes.I can't move, I can't move from that place, nor move my fingers. I was filled with fear, the child that I had once been watch helplessly as I was taken away and I blacked out, hearing the last words from my friend shouting my name with worry.
"LUCY!"
I felt a sudden nausea, dizziness corrupting me. That memory…
Rogue took this as his chance and hit me in the stomach with the hilt of the sword. I grunted with pain, as I fell into a black void of consciousness I was dimly aware of my memories slowly receding.
The last words I heard before blacking out were so clear that it frightened me, I just prayed for the safety of the friends I could remember only faintly at this point.
"Our mission is successful, let's bring her back to base."
Third Person's POV, Fairy Tail HQ
Natsu immediately rose from his seat. Seeing the door of his HQ opened to reveal two women in bad shape was not a sight he liked to see, he helped them into chairs noting that the injuried must have hurt judging from the way the two were gingerly moving.
"Alzack, Bisca, I want you to get Porlyusica right now" Natsu ordered, the couple nodded their heads and left the room to call the healing lady. "Levy, grab some water for Wendy and Lisanna" Levy nodded and raced off.
They drank it and wiped their mouths before speaking, breathing heavily before speaking.
"N-Natsu-san…" Wendy said. Natsu nodded, telling Wendy to continue. "L-Lucy-san…"
"Lucy's..?"
"Lucy's been kidnapped!" Lisanna finished, clenching her fist and pounding it into a table in frustration. "When we fought the guys that had been sabotaging the town, they annihilated us and took Lucy with them!" Tears welled up into her eyes. "I-I failed to protect her again! It's my entire fault…"
Wendy looked up, "Protect her..again?" She looked around at the mafia members who looked frustrated as well, muttering to themselves.
Erza nodded, "Wendy, before you came to Fairy Tail, Lucy used to be a member of us. However, when the inter mafia war began she was taken away…when she had returned here to do her mission, which was to kill Natsu, we realized that she had amnesia, and somehow managed to convince her to join again."
"T-that can't be possible…"
Natsu hit the table with his fist, gritting his teeth. "All of you! Prepare yourselves; we're going to bring back Lucy back! This is WAR!"
The rest of the members roared their agreement and rushed away to prepare themselves.
The pinkette glared at the wall furiously, refraining from hitting it, he had never been this angry before. Those men were going to regret taking Lucy from him. Even though they aren't the same people but still, taking Lucy away isn't forgivable
I will protect you this time, Lucy! I won't let the same thing happen again! I'll save you!
