I told you I might update either at night or in the afternoon. I was watching old Fairy Tail episodes and decided that making individual chapters for each of Lucy's memories would take to long and decided to wrap up the filler chapters with this last one. I hope you guys like it!
It's been a month now and Lucy has regained most of her memories about her past. All made her either cry out or have massive headaches to point she would pass out. Lucy regained memories of her celestial spirits, Galuna Island, Tower of Heaven, battle of Fairy Tail, meeting Wendy, Carla, Oracion Seis and Nirvana, Edolas and meeting Lisanna.
They had gone to various places and encountered many people to regain these memories. But because of the memories of Lucy regained were with Fairy Tail, she was confused about how she felt about them and her old personality had resurfaced after 8 years, which made it weird. Memories shouldn't be brought back from the sad to the old memories.
She had remembered her celestial spirits by Loke suggesting she went to the waterfall where she had saved them. Lucy remembered Galuna because they had met Bobo again at the harbor where they had first met and he even brought her to the island to help.
Lucy remembered the Tower of Heaven because while on a job, she and the others had met up with Jellal, Meredy and Ultear. The 3 informing that they were the independent guild; Crime Sorciere. The battle of Fairy Tail was remembered thanks to bumping into Laxus and the Thunder God Tribe on a mission.
Oracion Seis, Wendy, Carla and Nirvana were remembered thanks to visiting what used to be Cait Shelter and seeing Cobra in jail. Edolas and Lisanna were remembered because Light's Darkness had encountered the exceeds searching for the eggs and meeting up with Pantherlily when he was alone training. But, Lucy started acting different.
She had talked about her current feelings to her guild mates, something they weren't used to. The only time Lucy had ever spoke about her problems openly to Akari, Kano, Akame and Masahiro was when they first met. Yuki had only also seen a glimpse of this part of Lucy but was also not used to it happening now.
Lisanna, Wendy and Carla on the other hand, hadn't seen Lucy like this in a long time. After the guild began to ignore her, Lucy had become distant and hid her feelings because she didn't want to worry them. Hiro and Kuro had heard about Lucy before she had left Fairy Tail and they heard she was nice and caring. But they didn't expect this much of it to be true.
Lucy was always the one giving them inspiration and confidence. She had opened herself to complete strangers when she nearly died, comforted 3 friends who thought she was dead and even welcomed 3 newcomers who wanted nothing but to join the guild she had inspired someone to join.
But now Lucy had regained half of her memories. The memories of when she depended on others, when she always followed and never leaded anybody. The memories of her becoming a leader and left everything behind so that she may find a family again had never returned and she was starting to become Lucy of Fairy Tail again.
Even though Light's Darkness had started bringing Lucy to places that had a chance at bringing her memories about her past with them after creating the guild, she still had nothing. It was like those memories were the only ones that didn't want to come out of their cage in Lucy's heart.
Everyone then noticed how Lucy would get lost in her thoughts most of the time. They all assumed that she was thinking about the memories that she had regained and probably tried to sort out her feelings before she talked with everyone. Lisanna and Wendy had already explained how Lucy acted in Fairy Tail and how that it was normal for her.
Lucy didn't know why, but she was lost. She didn't know how to feel about Fairy Tail. Just a month ago, she didn't care about anything less besides taking Team Natsu and some other fairies down. But now she's not so sure.
Lucy didn't know how she was going to sort out her feelings. She remembered all the good times and friends she had made being there. But, Lucy continued to remind herself that she still had half of her memories to regain and hopefully everything would be as it should be.
According to her guild mates, Lucy had visited every place that could've helped her remember and Lucy had lived in their guild hall too. They were so sure that she would've remembered by now about her guild and the incident that had caused her to lose her memories in the first place.
Lucy didn't know why but she felt like there was one other place that she hadn't seen yet in order to remember her memories. She decided that maybe she and her guild should have a shopping day. Since a month had passed and they had gained a lot of money over the simultaneous jobs they've done over the pass month.
They were still building the extra rooms and had been working extra hard to expand the guild. It was taking longer than they had expected but, it was well worth it. But since Lucy noticed that they were low on paint, wood and other supplies, she thought it best they go buy them in Crocus.
"Hey guys! Let's go buy some more supplies!" Lucy called. "We're running out!"
Akari, Lisanna, Hiro, Akame, Kuro, Wendy, Kano, Yuki, Carla and Masahiro turned to their guild master and checked their supplies while Akame checked the fridge. They agreed that they were low on supplies and food and decided that they should all split up to find stuff.
When Light's Darkness arrived at Crocus' marketplace, they all separated. Some going in pairs or just alone. Kano and Akari together. Wendy and Carla. Lisanna and Akame. Hiro and Kuro. Masahiro alone. Yuki alone and Lucy alone.
They all went in different shops for specific items. Akari and Kano went to a shop where they sold the wood they needed. Wendy and Carla went to get paint. Lisanna and Akame went to buy food. Hiro and Kuro went to get nails and screws. Masahiro went to get instruction books. Yuki went to get paint rollers and Lucy went to grab cleaning tools.
As she was heading her way to a store, she found herself in front of the Rune Knights' headquarters. She smiled and then started walking again to the store for cleaning supplies. She knew Kano was messy and so was Hiro and Kuro so she needed to get some wet wipes, mops, brooms and sprays just in case.
Once Lucy got all the things she needed, she started walking the way she came. She found herself walking passed the Rune Knights' headquarters again and she stopped. Something about the place made her wonder if something happened here that was important.
Lucy stared at the building in front of her. She remembered that just behind the building would be the prison Cobra was being held at. She hadn't seen Richard, Midnight, Angel or Racer there so she wasn't so sure where they might be. Lucy then laughed at the memory of that adventure and turned away.
She started walking again, passing an alleyway. Until suddenly, a hand grabbed her by the waist and covered her mouth. Preventing her to scream.
Lucy was forcefully pulled against her will. Dropping her bag of cleaning supplies and was restrained by a gag and whoever her kidnapper was, they were pulling a rope out. Lucy reacted immediately, she kicked her kidnapper in the gut and then she ran out of the alleyway, picking up her cleaning supplies.
She ran and ran, going back to the Rune Knights' headquarters. Lucy saw an image flash before her eyes. She felt that this was familiar and her body froze. Acting on it's own again.
"What!?" Lucy thought in panic. "Am I remembering something... now!?"
Lucy could hear running behind her, she turned around and saw her kidnapper coming. They had a whip in their hands and their face was covered by a mask. Lucy was about to run again until the kidnapper swung the whip toward her as it wrapped around her ankle, tripping Lucy.
"You're not getting away this time!" A deep voice said, making Lucy believe that it was a man.
"Why do I always have to be the one being chased?" Lucy thought.
She rolled over so that she was sitting up and cracked her knuckles. "Can't think about this right now, I'm stronger and if I need to I can summon one of my celestial spirits." Lucy thought.
Lucy's right hand was then surrounded by a golden glow as she cut the whip off her ankle. She stood up and then got into her battle stance. "Here I go! Celestial Dragon's Roar!" Lucy chanted.
The kidnapper was surprised, but immediately dodged just in time before getting hit. "Huh? So you're a mage?" He asked. "Well then, glad I can use this instead of the useless whip."
Lucy was confused for a moment but soon understood when something began to form in the man's hand. A red blue goo rose from the ground and formed the shape of an axe. The man grabbed the handle and the goo materialized into an axe that had a blade dyed red.
"What is that!?" Lucy asked.
"Oh this old thing?" The man asked as Lucy could tell he was smirking. "It's an axe that is infused with poison magic. A single touch of the blade will make you poisoned and will make you drop on your knees instantly."
Lucy narrowed her eyes and her hands were surrounded by a golden glow. "Okay... note to self. Touch that thing and I'm dead."
The man held the axe with 2 hands and charged for Lucy. She snapped out of her thoughts and dodged just as he swung the axe, cutting a bit of her hair.
"Celestial God's Canon!" Lucy chanted as she aimed her hands toward the man and shot out a large beam of celestial magic.
The man dodged again and suddenly the Rune Knights' came out of the building. "What is going on here?" One of the knights asked.
"Whoa! Sir, look at the girl!" Another said.
The first knight who spoke turned to Lucy and saw that her cloak had come off at one point of the battle. The knights were surprised because of the fact that Lucy was last seen in person by them when she had 'died'.
"Is that..." He asked. "It is! It's Lucy Heartfilia!"
"She really has been alive after 8 years!"
Lucy ignored them as another image flashed in her mind. She saw herself being beaten and the Rune Knights' fighting by her side. A dark mage in front of them.
"What!?" She wondered.
Images began to flood her head. Lucy wasn't used to this as she was before. She hadn't gained a single memory since a month ago when she remembered Edolas and Lisanna. Her magic aura surrounded her entire body this time, her being looked like it was being painted gold.
Lucy began to see the day she had met Akari, Kano, Akame and Masahiro all over again. How she left Fairy Tail and her celestial keys. How she was attacked by the dark mage. How she was beaten so badly that she was bleeding to death. How she was about to die before she chanted a spell from her space magic.
Lucy clutched her head as the pain of the headache was far worse than the other memories she had remembered. She saw how she woke up in the forest where her guild was and how she met her 4 original members and how they had told each other's stories and decided to stick with each other.
As Lucy struggled in pain, the rest of the Light's Darkness members had arrived at the scene. They saw Lucy's magic energy go out of control. More worse than it's ever been. The man who had tried to kidnap Lucy was standing there with his axe and was struggling to stand up with Lucy's powerful magic.
"STAY AWAY FROM ME!" Lucy shouted as her magic went out of control even further.
"It's just like 8 years ago!" One of the Rune Knights' spoke again.
"Lucy!" The 10 mages shouted, but to no avail.
Hiro requipped one of his swords into his hands and dashed for the magical aura surrounding Lucy using his speed magic. But he was simply reflected and skidded across the pavement.
"Hiro!" Yuki said.
Kuro then summoned a sword that was surrounded with darkness and also dashed for the magical aura. But in the end, was reflected like Hiro and also skidded across the pavement.
"Damn... it's like a barrier formed around her." Kuro said.
"Yeah and a tough one at that." Hiro agreed.
The others didn't say anything as they all looked at the golden aura surrounding Lucy. Her eyes were open and golden as she had her hands in her hair. Lucy's hair floated around her and she seemed to be levitating off the ground.
"Lucy..." They all thought.
Lucy on the other hand, was seeing her memories from when she met Akari, Kano, Akame and Masahiro to the point where she met Team Natsu again and forgave Makarov at the guild masters meeting. Lucy started to remember it all. She saw the mission she did when she met Levy and Juvia again, the strange letter and the meeting with Makarov too.
Lucy also saw the time when she revealed herself to Wendy, Lisanna and Carla again and how they embraced her, making sure she wouldn't leave them again. Lucy then saw the hardcore training and research she and the others did when Light's Darkness was still new so she could control her magic better.
Lucy also saw how she had snuck off after remembering the truth about her magic and Hotaru. How she was the one to kill her parents by accident and how Hotaru wanted Lucy's magic all to herself. Lucy remembered it all. She remembered when Hotaru and her fought and how she learned her magic came from a comet.
Lucy then saw when she was tied to a pillar and was revealed as Lucy Heartfilia to all of Fiore and how she was transformed into a crystal. Lucy couldn't believe her eyes. All her memories of Light's Darkness had returned... and so did her intents on the battle to beat Team Natsu one day.
Tears began to fall from the blonde's eyes as the headache gradually went away and the golden aura closed in on Lucy. She closed her eyes and then yelled at the top of her lungs as her magic power was spread throughout the streets of Crocus and was dismissed. The man flying to the sky in the process.
Lucy fell and was panting heavily. She was on her knees as sweat fell from her tear stained face. Her guild members ran toward her in much worry as their guild master was about to lose consciousness.
"Lucy!" They all cried as Wendy began to check on her to see if Lucy needed any healing.
"Lucy are you okay!?" Carla asked.
"Y-Yeah..." Lucy replied tiredly.
"What happened!?" Lisanna asked.
"I... I..." Lucy was so tired that she couldn't reply. She fainted straight away and slept peacefully as Kano carried her on his back.
Wendy informed them that she had just released too much magic power and that was why she was exhausted. But the blunette couldn't tell if Lucy regained her memories or something like that. Akari had made it clear to the Rune Knights who saw to not speak of the what had commenced and everyone agreed.
Light's Darkness then grabbed the things that Lucy bought. Thankfully they weren't damaged in any sort of way and decided to head back to the guild and put Lucy in her room.
After they had arrived at the guild and placed Lucy in her room to rest, Yuki, Hiro and Kuro saw that there was mail on the bar counter. They took it and opened the letter. Reading what might it say.
Once they were done, the 3 teens gasped as they all called the others immediately to come to the bar.
"Guys! We got some big news!"
Akari, Lisanna, Akame, Wendy, Kano, Carla and Masahiro went toward the bar and saw the letter in Yuki's hands. "What's that you got there?" Lisanna asked.
"It's news on the Grand Magic Games!" Hiro replied excitedly.
"Grand Magic Games?" Akari asked. "What's that?"
"It's this huge competition where guilds all over Fiore compete for 7 days." Kuro explained. "Only 8 teams that pass the preliminaries, will be able to participate and whoever wins on the last day is the most top guild."
"Really!?" Kano asked now excited too.
"Yeah. It's been happening for a few years now." Yuki added. "Sabertooth is claimed the strongest guild since they've won every single one."
"Wow... that sounds like a big deal." Wendy added.
"It really is! And I bet all my money that Fairy Tail might compete to be the strongest guild again." Hiro said.
"Fairy Tail and Sabertooth huh?" Akame asked.
Masahiro took the letter and read the details, but there was an extra part attached to the letter. The archive and mind mage read the it and was surprised by what it said.
Everyone noticed this and was curious. "What is it?" Carla asked.
"It says; 'A copy of the rule book is always sent to each guild and it says that you have to pick a team of 5 with a substitute and you can't have your guild master as one of the team members. But, due to your status as the Mystery Guild and having Lucy Heartfilia as the guild master, we are overlooking that rule and ask that you put her in your team for the games. Thank you.'"Masahiro read.
"They want Lucy on the team?" Yuki asked surprised.
"Now that just makes things even more interesting." Akame said giggling.
"They just made a big mistake if Fairy Tail makes it to the games." Kuro added.
"No kidding." Carla said.
"The Grand Magic Games take place in a 2 months. So we should all train while we're at it." Wendy added.
"I agree." Akari replied. "Something tells me that Lucy especially wants to train extra hard."
"Alright!" Kano cheered. "I can't wait 'til Lucy wakes up now!"
"We better give her the heads up too." Hiro added.
"Let's just hope that she's fine when she wakes up." Lisanna said as they all nodded.
Well, there you all have it! The Grand Magic Games shall start next chapter and I hope you all are excited for those chapters. I'll probably skip to the battle part of the games after the whole labyrinth thing. But I will most definitely include Pandemonium, Naval battle, a battle with Lucy and Team Natsu and maybe a change the battle with Natsu, Gajeel, Sting and Rogue to them 4 with Lucy and someone from Light's Darkness. I don't think I'm going to include the whole Eclipse and Dragons though. So I hope that's okay^^ Ja ne~
