The Legend that is Lucy.
Chapter 9: Acnologia.
Lucy watches as she ran the battle between whoever it was and Acnologia was intense. The now formed Dragons of Fairy tail continue their running but at a slower pace to take in as much as they can of the battle Natsu had mentioned it was Zeref Acnologia was battling which made people wonder what was going on in general.
Too much evil there, Lucy knew but the upcoming battle was going to be life or death. Lucy and the others continue to run as the battle rages, blasts of magic where going every where the magic hit nothing remained. Lucy was concerned however if Star dragons were the key to defeat Acnologia, the king of dragons would know and attack. Lucy could sense the dragon's wrath as a massive magical explosion occurs blowing the group back with most of them ending up face down in the dirt. Shaking the dirt from her hair Lucy rises to her feet turning to the rest of the group as they stagger to their feet. Only Gildarts and Laxus where already on their feet not that they would be knocked down in the first place. Lucy glances at what appeared to nothing more than a dot hurtling towards them.
"No way that is a person!"
Lucy leaps into the air and catches Zeref in the air before landing on the ground again. As the others rush to her side knowing now the Acnologia will turn on them. Zeref is injured which shocks her and most of them. Covered in bruises and bleeding from the lip and nose. Raynor stands in watching the dragon along with Laxus and Gildarts, Zeref struggles to lift his eye lids as the blurred image of Lucy comes into focus.
"I see so you finally arrived along with Natsu…"
Natsu steps forward the anger was held in check, much to Lucy and the others relief. Zeref then turned and glances at everyone gathered though Zeref could surely sense what exactly, what every one hear had in common, be them dragon slayer or in Gildarts case a man who fought Acnologia and lived. Zeref opened his mouth to speak.
"You must not stay near me death magic will try to kill you if I begin to care. So finish me off, only a star dragon has the power to cleanse me so I ask you. To destroy me. A few of the members glanced at each other and Zeref knew that it is against the nature of the guild to take a life even the lives of their enemies or even the lives of the world's enemies. Raynor then steps forward, much to the group's surprise.
"I will do it for you if it is with in my power."
Zeref smiles and scans Raynor for a few minutes, as Natsu mutters that Acnologia is sitting watching waiting on them. Zeref laughs slightly, he knows that the dragon is arrogant but this was too good to be true. Once Raynor ends his life Zeref's magic power will transfer to Lucy and Acnologia will be doomed.
Raynor kneels beside him placing a hand on Zeref's head. His magic power gathers and the rainbow aura appears around both of them. Acnologia watches on waiting.
"The insects are going to die; they do not know it yet. I will let them live a little longer to see how fruitless it is."
Lucy and the group could not hear the dragon kings words as he only voiced them to himself. With a roar of his own Raynor infuses Zeref with his power Zeref looks at Lucy as his body begins to break away, Raynor continues his roar while a deep and powerful voice of his dragon spirit chants an ancient and powerful spell. Lucy watches on, even though he has caused so much pain, Lucy believes what is being done shouldn't be in her eyes and she feels she should stop it.
"Do not stop what is happening Lucy, this is also part of your destiny"
Isis's words echoed in her head. She wondered how was it part of her life to watch as a man's existence was destroyed. It was at that moment when she heard Isis in her head once again.
"Don't you feel it? As Zeref is being destroyed the mighty power he wielded is being transferred to you except instead of death it gives power to save lives. Raynor is you mentor so he knows you don't have the heart to kill a man so he will bear the burden for you. You must not stop him it's for your sake and the worlds."
Lucy nods and continues to watch as Zeref's body vanishes before her eyes, as the last speck of the dark mages body is gone in a rainbow coloured aura, Lucy gasps and drops to her knees. Natsu and Happy rush to her side but she waves them away and stands up again.
"I say we end this now, this is something only I can do."
Lucy takes a deep breath and let's outs a roar of her own, the roar was an issue of challenge and it was so powerful its force knocked some of her friends on their bums. Acnologia certainly took notice with a roar of his own and blast of magic.
"Incoming!"
Lucy and the group moved but for some the blast was quicker caught of guard Raynor and the majority of his female dragon slayers where hit and sent flying into rubble, earth and trees. Wendy was first to respond to them rushing to her aid as Gajeel and Rogue joined her, carrying them to safety. Lucy and the remaining members charged.
Acnologia roars in defiance lashing out with a mighty swing his front claw sending a massive shock wave at them, Gildarts stops raising his hand as the wave hits the group as a white flash cloaks them in a blinding light. Gildarts used his crush magic on the wave of air much to everyone's shock and the group advances again. Laxus was first to strike Lucy watches as he transforms himself into a lightning bolt and reappears next to Acnologia's head and strikes the dragon with a devastating punch. Acnologia is taken by surprise by the power of the blow which causes the dragon to stagger.
Everyone else then attacks themselves. Using an attack of there own. Despite this many dragon slayers and injured Acnologia was not worried about the blows being dealt to him. With a swing of his tail, Gildarts and Laxus are sent flying. Lucy and Natsu land powerful blows on the face of dragon king actually causing the immense dragon to fall, Lucy and Natsu then hit him with a combined dragon roar and the explosion causes everyone to raise their arms to shield their eyes from the debris.
"Whoa Natsu and Lucy have become so strong…"
Gildarts shook his head as he rises to his feet as Laxus does the same beside him. The two watch as the other dragon slayers join the battle. Sting and Rogue activate their white drive and shadow drive and then they use their unison raid attack blasting Acnologia with it. The dragon takes a direct hit and Natsu and Lucy both sense the attack was a lot stronger than at the grand magic games. Acnologia roars his defiance only for Gajeel and Natsu to hit him while in the shadow iron dragon and thunder flame forms. Wendy unleashes her own dragon roar to keep the monster in check
Laxus and Gildarts join the fight again, unleashing their might on Acnologia Lucy had ordered the others to break off their own attack as Laxus and Gildarts went to work, most of the guild where held in place in awe of their magical prowess is unleashed in a fury that even a dragon should be scared, everyone was frozen in awe or fear, Lucy was not sure thunder claps resembling Laxus and his devastating blows and the massive magical aura from Gildarts trying to crush the dragon with his crush magic. Acnologia snarls as Lucy turns around as the ground begins to quake as if another massive creature is charging into battle. Turning around Lucy smiles as the guild master leaps into the fight in, Acnologia batters Gildarts and Laxus aside but instead of attacking Makarov right away the dragon then speaks.
"I give you the chance to bow and surrender to my will, or I shall render you all dead."
Silence descends until Natsu hurls abuse at the dragon Makarov steps in front of his children and the army from the magic council appears behind the group of wizards. Makarov tries to figure out the dragons plan as Acnologia glances at him as his eyes darken then the king of dragons utters a two words that cause mass panic.
"Dragon Law!"
A large a black magic is shot into the air and it expands engulfing everyone in darkness. Lucy was shrouded in darkness and looks around her seeing nothing but endless night. Staggering forward Lucy calls out the names of her friends, her guild master, and her boyfriend and for her mentor hoping someone will answer her, but she could only hear was the laugh of Acnologia. She steps forward again and trips over something leaning down Lucy runs her hands over the object she found he was out cold not and badly hurt. Lucy starts to cry as Isis's anger stirs with in her chest Lucy stands up as the rainbow aura gets brighter; in a cry of pain her aura explodes vanquishing the darkness. Looking down at Natsu and the others lying around her Lucy steps forward her skin had developed scales the earth cracks and breaks as she walks towards her final confrontation.
