I'm really hoping that this will fulfill my promise of 3 chapters in a single day. I hate not giving you guys what I promised. So I'm really hoping this is it, after all the waiting you've done. I'll finally give what you guys deserve. So, I hope this is satisfying for you. Btw, for you haters, I get some reviews from you that are just plain rude. Here's the thing, I don't care bout what you say. Other people love this story and I'm not letting you spoil my love for writing. Other people who love this story overpower your opinion and the fact that you read some of the story just means you were interested in it in the beginning. Fanfictions are supposed to be stories that are made as a "What if this happened?" kind of thing. So I don't give a damn bout your opinion and so does the rest of the readers who love this story. Just write your own! Good day.
After what felt like hours for Natsu, the train finally arrived at Crocus. He jumped out of the train and started praising the ground as Gray, Erza and Happy smiled that Natsu would still do that.
"I never thought you could hold it down like that, Flame Brain." Gray said smirking.
"Shut up, Ice Face!" Natsu shouted.
"What you call me, ya freaking Pyro!?" Gray asked annoyed.
"You wanna go, Ice Princess!?" Natsu asked.
"Do I hear fighting between you 2 boys?" Erza asked sternly.
"No Ma'am!" They said in unison, linking arms together as they did their 'brotherly' act.
"Even though they're fighting again, it's not fun without Lucy laughing at them, Wendy smiling innocently and Carla saying something like 'they should grow up' or something like that." Happy thought sadly.
The 3 mages soon caught on to the exceed's sadness and soon understood why. They're expressions soon fell to a sorrowed face and soon made the rest of the way to Crocus, since if they went any further Natsu would've puked in the train and none of them needed that.
"Light's Darkness... what kind of guild are you?" Erza thought as she watched Natsu and Gray from fighting.
As Team Natsu walked passed the road near some woods, they soon arrived at a small village that seemed very empty by the looks of things. There weren't much villagers outside and everyone seemed scared or terrified of something that was close by. Though, Team Natsu didn't know what.
Gray looked around and saw an old man coming their way. "Maybe he knows." Gray thought.
The ice mage then walked toward the old man as Team Natsu looked around the almost empty village, with Happy flying above the village to get a better view of how much farther Crocus was from the village.
"Excuse me, sir? Is there a reason why this village seems so... empty?" Gray asked as politely as possible.
"You must be travelers. You see, there is a terrible monster rampaging our village. It's been happening for 3 days now." The old man explained with a pained and tired expression.
"A rampaging monster?" Gray thought.
While Gray had talked with the man, Erza and Natsu continued to scan the area.
"It's like the villagers are fearing something." Erza thought.
"For some reason, this village gives me the creeps." Natsu thought as a shiver went up his spine.
That's when the 2 realized that Gray had separated from them and looked around for the ice mage. Natsu soon found him talking to the man as he and Erza walked toward him in a fast pace.
"I see..." Gray said, until a hard fist met his head. "Ow!"
"There you are! Don't go running off like that!" Erza scolded the black headed teen.
"Sorry..." Gray groaned. "I just wanted to ask this man about the village."
"Are these your friends?" The old man now spoke up.
"Yeah..." Natsu said unsurely since he and Gray were rivals. "So, what's up with this village anyway?"
"A monster has been terrorizing the village." Gray said as he rubbed the part of his head that Erza had punched. "Apparently it's been going on for 3 days."
"3 days? Didn't you send a request to a guild?" Erza asked.
"Yes, our leader did but-!?"
"Then we'll help you out!" Natsu soon spoke up again, cutting the old man off.
"What?"
"Yes we should. It'll be good to battle something again." Erza agreed.
"You really don't have to-!?"
"Don't worry, sir. We'll get rid of that thing!" Gray added as well.
The 3 mages then suddenly ran from the old man and headed for the forest ahead, leaving the man who didn't finish his sentence. Happy soon came a minute later, flying after his nakama calling out to them. As the 3 mages began tell the blue exceed what he'd miss.
"But... Light's Darkness is coming..." The old man whispered as the mages were far from his sight.
An hour passed and soon the door to the village leader's home got a knock. The leader was a young woman somewhere around the age of 30. Her black midnight hair tied into a bun and wore makeup. She opened the door to be met with 8 cloaked figures. Whom she just smiled toward.
"So, you've finally come."
"We're mages from Light's Darkness." The figure in the middle with a teen girl's voice said.
"Yes I heard you were coming." The woman said. "The information was all on the request. However..."
"What is it, Ma'am?" A teen boy's voice asked.
"A group of travelling mages arrived earlier. They decided to run off into the forest to fight the beast without knowledge of it's capabilities." The woman said.
"I see." The woman from the middle said as she smirked, only revealing her brown eyes. "Let's just see how long these mages will last... with a powerful beast such as this." As the rest of her group smirked along with her.
(I'm sorry if there are too many time skips here)
If you entered the forest where Team Natsu had run off into, you could hear clashing and roars from a very far distance. Which indicated that the fairies were still fighting the creature they've decided to get rid off. But they were also struggling as the monster wasn't what they thought.
The monster was a pure white and was in a form of a fox. The thing that made this monster dangerous was that it stood a good foot above the mages and had blood red eyes that look like it's ready to kill. Plus, a part of it's neck had visible chains and some of the pure white fur was dyed red.
The monster didn't show mercy toward the fairies and just continued to pounce on the fairies without giving them a break and they were beginning to get tired.
Meanwhile on top of 2 strong trees, Lucy, Akari, Lisanna, Kano, Wendy, Masahiro, Carla and Akame just hid their faces under their brown hoods and watched as the fairies were clearly out of shape to fight the blood thirsty monster. But, none of their faces changed from their stern expressions. Not even innocent Wendy and Akame. (Well, Akame isn't that innocent-_-)
They watched as Erza tried to hit it with her Flight Armor, Gray trying to pound it with his huge ice hammer as Natsu and Happy flew in the air for Natsu do Fire Dragon's Roar.
"They're really out of shape." Kano whispered the obvious.
"Well after what happened a year ago with Lucy, they only took missions when they needed the money." Lisanna whispered.
"They should've at least worked out." Akari added.
Lucy just looked down on her once best friends in Fairy Tail. She wanted to get her revenge on them right then and there, but it wasn't the right time to do so. So Lucy suppressed her urge to fight the ones who were once her nakama.
"According to my calculations, in a matter of seconds, the beast shall knock them down." Masahiro whispered now.
And just like the brunette said, the monster whipped it's tail knocking Erza and Gray to the ground. Then, pouncing on Natsu and Happy as they were knocked down as well. The group saw this as their chance to attack the monster they came to defeat.
"Nice job as always, Masahiro." Akame said.
"Lisanna. Wendy. Carla. You should probably hide here." Lucy suggested.
"Right." They replied. "We can't be caught by them."
"Akari. Kano. It's time for you to strike." Masahiro said as the twins smirked.
The red and blue headed twins jumped down and chanted at the same time.
"Fire God's Bellow!" Akari said as her flames strikes the monster.
"Water God's Ice Attack!" Kano said after his sister.
The fairies watched as the cloaked twins dropped down and landed in front of their fallen bodies. Smirking towards the monster as fire and ice burned and froze the monster as it growled and roared in pain of the attacks that came upon it. Team Natsu then started to try and get up. But Masahiro noticed it right away.
"Akame. You stop the fairies." Masahiro said as he got ready to jump.
"It'll be my pleasure." Akame said in a giggly voice.
The jumped down behind Kano and Akari as the monster continued to burn and freeze. Taking the fairies aback with the 2 new arrivals.
"Oh no you don't." Akame said as she snapped her fingers. "Blood Magic: Stay down now my sweet fairies."
Then, without warning, Natsu, Erza, Gray and Happy's bodies fell flat on the ground against their will and Akame just laughed while Masahiro used his archive magic to find the monster's weak spot, which was it's neck. Then, Masahiro stood in between a smirking Akari and Kano.
"Mind Magic: Freeze." Masahiro chanted.
The monster instantly froze as the fire and ice froze along with it. Masahiro then brought his finger to point at the side of his neck. Which was Lucy's cue. The blonde nodded toward the 3 newcomers and jumped down and casted her attack spell upon the monster.
"Roar!" She chanted as a spiral of gold shot from above the monster and destroyed it. Turning it into black ash as it blew in the wind.
Lucy landed softly with her hood still covering her face and faced her group and the fairies that were being held by Akame's blood magic. Lucy nodded toward the light haired brunette as Akame released her old on the fairies. Which made the 3 mages get on one knee, gnashing their teeth.
Then, without another word, Lisanna, Wendy and Carla held their hoods in place so it still covered their face and jumped down beside Lucy. Carla flying under her long cloak to make it look like she was the same height as Wendy.
"Fairy Tail mages." Lucy said in a disgusted tone toward the fallen mages. "You shouldn't take another mages' guild's job like that. But then again, it was pathetic how you all lost to that monster so easily."
This made, Natsu, Gray and Erza growl under their breaths. Then, the other 4 went beside their guild master.
"What did you do?" Natsu decided to say as a comeback. "You only did one attack and that other person just held us down with her magic."
"It was to prevent you from getting up to fight again." Lucy replied with a hint of anger and annoyance. "My one attack on the other hand, the others just did one attack as well. You should work with your team after all."
"Who are you?" Erza demanded.
A reply wasn't said as the 8 of them jumped to a sturdy branches on some of the trees and stood proud and tall. "We are the members of Light's Darkness guild." Lucy revealed, shocking Team Natsu.
"What?" Gray asked softly.
"That's Light's Darkness' members?" Happy thought.
"Fairy Tail mages. Fair be warned. Do not cross us again, or we won't hesitate to take you down." Lucy warned as she and the 7 disappeared from Team Natsu's sight.
OH. MY. GOD. Did I actually just update this story 3 times in a single day like I promised? I did! I really just fulfilled my promise I made to you guys! I'm so happy. So anyway, to those haters I was talking about again. I just feel like I need to put this out there because it's rude to say something bad that a person had taken so much time and effort to write these for his or her readers and then at least one hater comes to lower their self-esteem. When they probably only read like not even the whole 1st chapter. You say we are a disease for writing stories like this and that we're not Lucy fans. Well guess what, this Lucy fan right here just made Lucy turn into an independent woman and the fact that these stories are so widely used is because it helps build plot, character growth and satisfies other people too. If you don't like it, write your own damn story and let's see where that goes. I think I've made myself clear now^^ Byee~
