Okay... so Lyra came to Fairy Tail and as she was getting questioned about Suri, Shadow decides to appear in a holographic form and with him was Suri saying that she was Lucy. Get ready cuz there is some major things coming to the light and the search for Lucy will begin either this or next chapter.
"Guys! It's me! It's Lucy!" Suri shouted which made Lyra shake with her mouth agape.
"L-Luce? Is that... really you?" Natsu asked.
"Of course it's me Natsu! Please help me!" Lucy said. "I was being controlled by this guy the entire time!"
"You... were controlled?" Makarov asked. "To be this... Suri?"
Shadow then put the blade by Lucy's neck even closer and was just barely touching her skin. Team Natsu and others in the guild growled under their breaths as they saw Shadow's emotionless face. They weren't sure what to believe as Team Natsu thought that maybe it was all an act.
Lyra on the other hand, she knew. She could see right through the act. Tears threatened to fall from her eyes and she knew that if she cried Shadow, or Haru as she had once called him, would make her tell everything on the spot. She couldn't let Lucy down. She had to keep up the lie as much as she can.
Shadow scanned to inside of the building, his face hidden from the others, and soon landed his eyes on Lyra. Just the girl he wanted to break. He could see the fear and worry go through Lyra's eyes and perfectly knew that his plan was working. It made him laugh inside at how Lyra's weaknesses could make her in a state like that.
"Well if it isn't Lyra... I haven't seen you in a year. How're you doing?" Shadow asked making Lyra jolt.
"I... I..." Lyra stammered as she shook.
"Lyra? Is something wrong?" Erza asked as she reached out to the blonde brunette.
Lyra took a step back as she only stared at Lucy with worried eyes. "H-Haru... Please stop this..."
"Haru doesn't exist now." Shadow said. "It's Shadow Kuro."
"You know him, Lyra!?" Levy asked. "Why would he capture Lucy then!?"
"Shrimp..." Gajeel said as he appeared behind the solid script mage.
"Huh? Gajeel?"
The iron dragon slayer shook his head as he only pointed to Lyra. He, along with Wendy and Natsu, looked at the shaking girl and can smell her tears from where they stood. They knew she was under pressure and that Shadow knew exactly what her weakness was.
"She has the scent of strawberries with faint vanilla. It's as if Bunny Girl made half over her scent to the girl." Gajeel explained.
"What?" Levy asked as she looked at Lyra.
"Lyra! Lyra please help me!" Lucy begged with fear in her eyes.
Lyra's eyes widened as she could remember the same face. It was crystal clear in her mind and it tortured her. Lyra felt useless at that time. That she couldn't help Lucy. But she felt even worse that it was all in Shadow's plan to break her. But even if she became hated, Lyra had to keep up the façade.
"Why would I help you?" Lyra asked as her eyes were hidden under her bangs.
"What!?" Gray asked.
"Lyra! What are you doing!?" Happy asked.
"She got herself into this mess. Why should I help her fix it?"
"But isn't she your friend?" Wendy asked.
"Did Lucy not give you advice on how to get stronger?" Carla asked too.
"You shouldn't betray one of your friends!" Jet and Droy said.
"That's not manly!" Elfmen added.
Shadow smirked as he watched Lyra go under pressure. As the pressure around her continues, she shall break and no doubt expose all the lies that she ever made. Then, he'll capture her and then take his revenge on Fairy Tail once and for all. It was all falling into place.
"Heh... So you wouldn't care if I decapitated her right now, Lyra?" Shadow asked.
"NOOO!" All of Fairy Tail shouted.
But Lyra was the one who shouted the most. "PLEASE DON'T HARU! SU-!?"
'Lyra...' A voice said in Lyra's head, cutting her off.
The blonde brunette's eyes widened as she heard the voice that had spoke in her head. 'Lucy...?'
'I don't have much time... Keep up what your doing...'
'But Suri... and you...'
'Do what you feel is right Lyra...'
'Lucy...'
'It's okay... I'll be... fine... I trust... you...'
'Lucy!'
Lyra then narrowed her eyes as she raised her head up to reveal her eyes. Everyone was shocked to see the right eye was brown while the left one remained it's green color. Much like Lucy's left brown eye and right red eye. Lyra then raised her hand as a glowing light started to appear.
"Before..." She started. "I said that Suri is a being that cannot live in this world. That's because the way she is now is dangerous to people of Fiore, so I planned to kill her. But that was a lie, because there is only one person in the world who can kill Suri and she refuses to do so."
"What?" Mira asked.
"What does that mean Lyra?" Lisanna asked too.
The magic blast that Lyra materialized was then ready and her expression showed her anger and determination. "BUT THAT GIRL YOU HAVE CAPTIVE IS NOT LUCY! SHE'S SURI!"
The magic blast headed toward the hologram and Shadow was taken aback by the sudden act. He gnashed his teeth and let go of Suri, who suddenly turned back into the persona she had when she had encountered Team Natsu the first time. Then shot a black magic blast at Lyra's, going through the hologram and destroyed the blast.
Fairy Tail was shocked and was now confused. They did not understand what was going on. Was Suri really Lucy being controlled? Or was it just all an act, planned by Shadow? Shadow, his plan having to fail, turned around and scowled at Lyra as her determined look didn't falter.
"Don't think you have won yet Lyra! You will join me and Suri and we will get our revenge on Fairy Tail!" Shadow declared as the hologram disappeared.
It was silent. No one dared to say a word. That was until Lyra fell on her knees as tears fell from both her blue green eyes.
"Lyra!" Mira said as she went and kneeled down beside the girl as the others followed too.
"How did you know that she wasn't really Lucy?" Romeo asked.
Lyra had her hand on her heart as she breathed heavily. She was extremely tired and she hadn't even used much of her magic. As well as the fact she recovered from her pressure just a second ago. There was no way she should be so tired all of a sudden.
Makarov placed a hand on Lyra's shoulder and he had a stern yet worried expression on his face. "I think it's time you filled us in on who this Suri and Shadow or Haru is."
Lyra looked at the sincere old man and nodded as she got up and sat on the bar counter top. The rest of the guild sitting at tables and awaited for the report. The blonde brunette looking on the floor as she could feel all eyes on her. Once she got all her thoughts together, Lyra looked up and spoke.
"What do you want to know first?" Lyra asked.
"Suri... and why she has Lucy's face." Erza said as the others nodded in agreement.
"I guessed as much..." Lyra said as a sad look her worried one. "Suri... She's not all together human."
"What?" Makarov asked. "What does that mean?"
"Please wait until I'm finished." Lyra said. "Suri was actually created from the ashes of a lost soul and when she was fully completed, she was made with the face of Lucy."
"Do you know the creator?" Levy asked, curious to the method used to do that.
Lyra hesitated, but it went unnoticed by the guild members as she shook her head. "No... it's more like the creator left no traces as they left Suri behind."
"Okay... but then how did you meet Suri?" Gray asked.
"I met Suri... because I'm her sister in a sense." Lyra admitted looking away.
"Her sister!?" The guild asked as Lyra nodded.
"Yes... I'm not all together human either." Lyra confirmed. "It's true that I was human before, but something I can't remember happened and then I woke up with Suri saying I was her new sister."
"But what about that Shadow guy?" Happy asked.
"Shadow... I mean Haru, is the oldest among me and Suri. He was our older brother." Lyra revealed, again shocking the guild members. "He was kind, strong and protective. But when our creator left, he felt betrayed."
"Why did your creator leave?" Wendy asked, feeling sympathy for Shadow.
"A guild and Haru felt broken because he just wanted all 4 of us to remain a family together." Lyra replied.
"Which guild did your creator go to?" Gajeel asked.
"It was... this guild, Fairy Tail." Lyra said looking at the entire guild with a stern expression.
"Fairy Tail!?" Natsu asked in surprise.
"When did they come here!? Maybe we know them or they're out in a mission right now!" Lisanna said.
"I don't even know if their here." Lyra replied. "But they left our home 10 years ago."
That made Fairy Tail wonder. Most of their older members left the guild when the core members disappeared at Tenrou Island 7 years ago. None from the past came back and most of guild are new mages and the core members from Tenrou Island with the exception of the ones who stayed to keep the guild going.
"Sorry... Do you remember their name?" Makarov asked.
Lyra tensed up but in the end shook her head. "No... I don't."
"Dammit..." Natsu said as he hit the table. "Just when we were so close..."
"Natsu..." Team Natsu thought.
"Actually..." Lyra spoke up again. "Lucy was really there... she was just not seen."
"What?" All of the guild asked. "Lucy was there?"
Lyra nodded and looked to the ground, not making eye contact with anyone in the guild. "I'm sorry."
"For what?" Mira asked.
"For lying to you." Lyra said bluntly.
"Huh?" Carla asked. "Lying about what?"
"About Suri... and Lucy." Lyra said. "I was there... when she got captured by Haru."
"What...?" The entire guild thought. "Lucy was... captured?"
"What do you mean Lucy was captured!?" Team Natsu asked in worry.
"Just as I said. In order to get his revenge... Haru took Lucy and I was there to witness all of it." Lyra revealed. "He thought what better way to get revenge on Fairy Tail than by taking one of their core members."
"What!?" Natsu said as he ran up to Lyra in a violent manner.
Lyra hid her eyes under her bangs as Natsu grabbed her by the collar. Gray was about to follow Natsu but Juvia held him back, which made the ice mage surprised and looked away from the water mage.
"Gray-sama... look at Lyra's face..." Juvia said in a sad tone.
Gray didn't understand and decided to listen to Juvia. When he did, Gray was surprised to see tears starting to form in the corner of Lyra's eyes and yet she didn't say anything as Natsu kept pulling her by the collar. With that, Gray calmed down and sat back down gnashing his teeth.
"I'm sorry..." Lyra whispered, making Natsu stop. "I'm sorry... but I couldn't fight Haru. He was still my kind brother... and he took care of me and Suri... I couldn't bear to hurt and break that bond..."
"Lyra..." Levy said as she stood in front of Gajeel who only crossed his arms and turned away.
"I was supposed to be captured too... so that Haru could do the same thing to me like Suri, but I managed to escape thanks to Lucy." Lyra continued to explain.
At that moment when Lyra finished that sentence, a golden portal appeared in the center of the guild and on the other side, a dark castle or fortress stood on jagged rocky cliffs. It was like the scenery was pulled straight out of a horror movie and thunder roared from the skies.
"What the..." Gajeel asked.
"That's Haru's fortress... that's where Lucy and Suri are." Lyra said. "If you want to come with me, step forward. But you must be prepared for the battles you might face."
With that, Team Natsu including Wendy and Carla, Gajeel, Lily and Levy stepped up. They all nodded with their eyes narrowed and full of determination to get Lucy back. Lyra turned to face the portal and knew exactly what they were about to find out.
"We're coming soon... Lucy... Suri."
So yeah... a lot of information in this chapter and all that. So basically, Shadow/Haru made a holographic image and made Suri pretend to act like Lucy as a hostage. Fairy Tail was about to believe Shadow until Lyra proved that it was a lie and then she told some truths about Suri, Shadow and herself.
Now Lyra, Team Natsu, Gajeel, Lily and Levy are now going through the portal to Shadow's fortress. Fairy Tail to get Lucy and Lyra to save both Lucy and Suri. There will be a backstory chapter at one point so look forward to that^^
Ja ne~
