Chapter Seven: Lullaby
We arrived where the meeting took place and Master was outside of the place with a stern look on his face. " What are you doing here?" He asked crossing his arms over his chest. I turn around letting Ezra deal with the explanation, I open the door to the car looking inside seeing Happy's human form taking care of Lucy. " How are you feeling Happy?" He looks up at me giving me a smirk and nods his head. " You still can't talk huh?" causing Happy to look down and nods his head. "It's alright buddy, Watch her I have to speak with Master privately and we can go home," I said as I closed the door and walked over to Master who was talking to Ezra and Gray.
Something was stirring from the Flute, something was coming and it was not good. I narrow my eyes and gave out a warning growl causing everyone to look over at me. Master frown and looked down at the flute, then the eyes started to glow.
Master quickly dropped the flute and everyone moved out of the way, I stay in front of the car getting ready for anything. A bright light blinded me for a few seconds and once I got our vision back, my eyes wide at a larger at the sight in front of us. " Souls. I will devour all of your souls." The creature screams out, I gritted my teeth feeling very annoyed that we went through so much trouble to get the damn flute and it turns out to be a fucking demon. Fan-fucking-tastic.
"That's one of Zeref's magic," Master said in horror. The creature was taller than a mountain and it looks like it was made out of wood with holes in them. " This is one of the demon's from Zeref's book." A large man wearing the bright purple outfit and wearing makeup. The sight of him made me cringe because he was smiling the whole time. " Wait you are saying that Zeref created this!" Gray shouted his face went pale as the realization hit him. " Zeref has Living magic, which in this state can give an object life." Master finished.
I heard the door up behind me, I spun around growling. " Something is wrong with Lucy!" Happy used his sign language so fast that I almost didn't understand him, tears were falling down his as he side steps, my eyes wide when I noticed the familiar state. She was panting heavily and steam was coming off her skin once again. 'The hell? I gave her the Keys. What's going on here?' I thought as I watch her in pain as she began to change. My eyes widen even more as I turn around back to the creature. " It's Lullaby that is causing this. The dragon instinct in her is waking her up." I mumble catching Happy's attention. " What's going on Natsu?" He signed with one hand wiping his tears away, I turn back around flaring up my magic. " Happy stay with Lucy and close the door, don't let anyone it. You hear me?" I demanded. " Aye." he closed the door behind him and a soft click was heard.
" All of your souls are mine now!" He roars staring down at us, I stepped forward getting ready for a fight. " Not while I am standing," I said, footstep were heard on each side of me, glancing over to left and right to see Ezra and Gray getting ready to fight. I looked back at the creature feeling slightly annoyed. ' Yep, I definitely need to stay the fuck away from them.' I thought to myself as I launch forward with Gray and Ezra behind me.
Narrative Pov*
Black and blue flames lite up the skies combining with ice and steel. Lullaby, Zeref's demons roar through the night as the three strongest team attacks. Each blow from Natsu and the others attack gotten stronger and stronger. But Lullaby stood strong, it was taking everything out of them. Natsu wasn't finished as he creates more magic for his last attack.
Till an explosion was heard behind them and a unmanly scream, everyone turns around seeing the vehicle that Lucy and Happy were in. Is now on fire, gasp and cries echo through the night till a male figure came out of the flames. The figure was Kage from the dark guild and it was too late for him the red flames consume him whole turning him into nothing, but ashes everyone stared in horror at the horrible death, the flames went like water was pour on the flames revealing Lucy in her dragon stage standing over the unharmed Happy as he lays at her feet. The cloak that Natsu gave Lucy covers her most of her scars and scales as she stood there with a rage face.
Lullaby roar in delight at the sight of Lucy and it spoke. " The Lost Dragon lives!" It said as the creature rushes forward, Lucy jumps forward with great speed, as she punches the large creatures making it stumble back. Bright red flames clear the sky, it looks like a real dragon fighting against a monster. The cries from lullaby grew louder and louder from the flames attacks.
Lucy lands a few feet away from the group without a word or a single glance. The group were in shocked at the news of the Lost Dragon was among the human, but something bothers them. Natsu was standing in front of the group watching and waiting, he would not let anyone gets passed him, the tension on the man's body were giving off warning signs as if he was protecting them from the fight between Dragon and Demon.
Lucy landed away the demon as she glares at it, The demon roar with laughter as it spoke. " You think you can defeat me Dragon! You will become my first victim!" He said with delight, but what he doesn't realize that he is the one defeated. Lucy began to build up her magic with a very powerful attack, the air grew hot and it was getting harder to breathe. Everyone was sweating from the extreme heat wave coming her. Lullaby glared at the powerful magic and began to build for his attack. " You will die first Lost Dragon and I will use your power to bring chaos and destruction to this world." Lullaby released his magic aiming towards Lucy, till nothing came. Shocked flashed across the demon's face, that his attack had failed. The attacks from both Natsu's group and Lucy had created giant holes around his body.
Lullaby roar in rage as he charged towards Lucy with blind rage. The fire flared around Lucy as it forms a flaming dragon, Lucy gave out a dragon's roar as she spoke. " Fire Dragon Spear!" The flaming dragon flying forward piercing through Lullaby's chest creating a giant hole, the flames that stayed on the demon's body began to spread like wildfires, Lullaby scream and roar in pain as the flames devours his body leaving nothing, but ashes.
It's was silent from the group as they stared at the giant pile of ash blow away from the wind. Lucy stood there with her back towards them, Natsu takes a step forward stepping making a small amount of noise causing Lucy to spin around glaring at him with her bright red eyes. Everyone took a step back, except for Natsu as went into Dragon Force. " Lucy. We are not your enemy." He said sternly as he watched her turn around, facing towards them. " What is going with Lucy? I never felt this magic coming from her before." Makarova asked directly to Natsu.
" This is not the first time this power came out, Happy only witness the beginning stage when her keys knocked away from her and the next time I witness the whole thing at the train tracks." He said as he stares at the young woman as she glares at him. " You mean that she was the only that caused all that damage!" Gray shouted Lucy gave out a deadly growl of warning. " Keep your voice down." Natsu hissed. " Apparently, those Keys have a seal on them to prevent the Dragon from coming out. I was going to inform you, but now everyone knows about it."
" What is the Lost Dragon?" Ezra asked not moving from her spot as she watches Lucy. " Igneel, the Fire Dragon King. There many stories, they say that he left his homeland and never return or he was defeated but wasn't killed that lead him it hiding." He said.
A wave of heat burst towards them, causing them to look up to only see Lucy standing a few centimeter from Natsu's face, surprising the Dragon Slayer, then she spoke in layer voice as if the dragon voice cover Lucy's soft voice. " You know nothing, Son of the Black Dragon." Her voice shook everyone putting fear into them, but Natsu stood strong as he faces." Release Lucy. You fulfilled your deed of defeating Lullaby." He demanded to only get a growl from her. " Listen very carefully Boy, You have 8 years till Lucy becomes one of you and failed to protect her again, then she dies from my flames." Natsu's eye wide in shocked at his statement. " What?" He mumbled before he can ask what the dragon meant, Lucy body gave out and fell forward. Natsu catches her and stares at her normal face. " What did he mean by 8 years and she will become like you?" Someone asked, Natsu gulped and stared at Lucy with a confused look on his face. " I have no idea."
" Listen Up!" Makarova shouted staring at everyone. " No one speaks about this to anyone, If it true that Lost Dragon has returned then we must not tell the Council or panic will spread!" Everyone agreed as they form a plan if words do get out, Natsu picked up the sleeping Lucy and walked away, leaving everyone behind. " How the hell are we going to explain about this?!" Someone shouted The place was trashed that were surrounded by burnt trees. The building that held the meeting was destroyed, lying in ruins. " Umm. Well. We got to go!" Master said as he takes off with the rest of the members following behind him.
Natsu Pov
It's been a couple of days, it would be another day or so till they arrived at Magnolia. They were currently camping for the night in the forest. Everyone was exhausted from the other day event and confused, but no one talked about it. I didn't want talk about it, everything was coming at once. Lucy was a Dragon Slayer. She has 8 years of what? And If I failed she will die from the very flames that are sealed inside her and also, her scent is changing. The magic from her Stellar magic is barely there, it was overcome by the dragon slaying magic. Lucy Key's looked fade as if the glowing keys were slowly losing.
Everyone fell asleep to regain their strength, I was staring at the campfire then my gazed shifted over to were Happy and Lucy lay. Happy woke up a couple of hours ago, it took us awhile to calm him down, then he just walked over to the sleeping Lucy and lay down next to her falling asleep.
" You should be sleeping Natsu." a voice spoke startling me, I looked over seeing master's awake and staring at me. " I can't believe that this girl has one of the most powerful Dragons sealed inside of her." I blurted out. " I feel the same, Beside the big news. Is there anything else?" I closed my eyes picturing the large scar on her left shoulder to her collar bone. " Something else happens to her, she has so many scars and there was one that cover her shoulder like she was torture or something. She won't talk about it, when Happy brought it up there was this dead look on her face and then she started to cry." I sighed as I lean my back against a tree, looking up at the stars.
" I see. Keep her close Natsu, you are probably the only one that can get through to her." He said as he lays back down.
I stood up and walked over to the sleeping Lucy, placing my hand on her head, frowning a little. " Looks like I have to keep you close," I said sadly. " I shouldn't have you this close. I am a monster and a killer, I do hope that you will not find out." I said as I sat next to them as I fell asleep.
