What's this, a non Saturday Update!
From the phone I don't like updating on!
So extra update this week you're welcome.
Before we continue the story it has come to my attention the last chapter might have been confusing towards the end so just to clarify/recap.
Natsu, Erza, Gray, and Wendy have been kidnapped. Wendy was the girl peering around Nix NOT LUCY. Sorry for that mistake, and for any others coming up, I didn't catch them when doing my prooreading.
Thank you kirby42280 for catching that mistake.
"Hey," a monotone voice said. "Hey, it's one thing to be asleep in reality but in a dream," the voice said lightly hitting my cheek.
"Go easy on her, I mean she did just watch her friends get kidnapped," another higher pitched voice said.
"We don't have to be easy with her now, after everything," the monotone voice said.
"But if we aren't how will we convince her," the higher pitched voice said.
"We won't, she'll just do it by herself," the monotone voice said. I started to open my eyes. "See, she's waking up now," the monotone voice said. When my eyes fully opened, I saw two women standing in front of me. On the right, the old me, Lucy Heartfilia, wearing the usual apparel of a tight fitting shirt and brown skirt with boots. On the left, the new me, Nix, wearing the usual grey t-shirt, and dark jeans with running shoes. Nix's tattoos were visible and ran down her arm, stopping before they met the wrist wraps.
"What is going on," I asked looking at the two versions of me.
"Since it seems no one is able to talk sense into you I got pulled into this," Nix said with a laugh.
"Nix, no need to be so blunt," Lucy said lightly hitting Nix in the arm.
"Hey, there's a reason you're here to," Nix retorted.
"Yes I know," Lucy replied.
"What the hell," I asked looking at the two.
"Okay enough talk, on to business," Lucy said.
"I was about to say," Nix said cracking a smile. Through out my entire time of being Nix I was never this way, so why was this Nix acting so, sociable.
"Why are you both here, I mean," I started.
"Oh my god, I didn't think I was so," Nix said slightly annoyed.
"Calm down Nix, she did just see her friends get kidnapped," Lucy said trying to calm NIx down.
"I'm lost," I said getting to my feet.
"The tattoos you have," Nix finally said after several moments of silence.
"What about them," I asked, causing Nix to almost cringe.
"Your story," Lucy said kindly. "The Protected," Lucy said after a moment.
"The Fighter," Nix added stepping up to Lucy's side.
"The Guardian," I said, clenching my fists.
"Good we're getting somewhere finally," Nix said.
"I still don't understand. What does my tattoos have to do with the three of us," I asked.
"Not the three of us, but just you," Lucy said.
"Lucy is the Protected, I'm the fighter, you're the Guardian," Nix said.
"You are the result of us," Lucy added. "The result of being protected."
"And the result of being a fighter," Nix added. "Those tattoos tell your story, of your transition into who you are now."
"Which is what, what am I now," I asked.
"The person who will give everything to protect your friends," Lucy said.
"And the person who will never go down without a fight," Nix said with a smirk.
"You have the magic from when you were known as Lucy Heartfilia," Lucy said.
"And the strength from when you were known as Nix," Nix said.
"But what if my magic went away over the time of not using it," I asked.
"You really don't know," Nix asked surprised. "Your magic is bound to your strength and endurance," Nix added.
"That's one of the reason no one noticed you were Lucy Heartfilia," Lucy said. "You for one changed your look to Nix, you got more muscular, your scent changed from that of something sweet to that of sweat and work, and your magic tremendously increased."
"I'm surprised you didn't notice you're magic for the past few months," Nix said looking away.
"Still, did you not see what happened when Natsu, and Gray tried to fight back, their magic didn't work," I said, fear creeping up in me.
"Ah, she's scared," Nix said laughing.
"That man, he creates a disbalance of magical energy in his enemies, making their magic not work," Lucy said.
"So he can do that to me if I use magic," I said.
"Not exactly," Lucy said.
"Natsu, Gray, and Erza, they naturally don't have a good balance between magic and their strength, that's one of the reasons why Natsu always destroys things," Nix said.
"You on the other hand," Lucy started. "You have a balance," Lucy said leaving a pause for me to figure out what she meant.
"You're my magical side," I said looking towards Lucy. "And you, you're my strength," I said looking over to Nix. Both of me nodded in approval.
"Just us being here," Lucy started.
"Shows the balance between magic and strength you have created," Nix finished. "So that man, he will have a harder time to create a disbalance between us," Nix added.
"What about that sleep magic," I asked.
"Oh, that, I'm quite sure that in any other case it wouldn't have worked," Lucy said with a smile.
"Then why did it," I asked.
"We really needed to talk to you," Nix said. I remained silent, not sure what to say.
"Look, you've been hiding for so long, and in that time you've grown greatly, both mentally, and physically. Now it's time for you to become who you are now," Lucy said after the moments of silence.
"What am I now though, both of my personalities are standing in front of me," I asked.
"Simple, you're Lucy Nix Heartfilia," Nix said softly. I closed my eyes, to take in the thought, and opened my eyes to face a new person standing in front of me. She had my short hair. Big, hope filled brown eyes, and a smile on her face. She was muscular, and wore a light grey shirt with a bright blue Fairy Tail insignia on it, blue jeans, and running shoes. On her hip was a belt with a ring of golden and silver keys attached. On her right hand was a pink Fairy Tail insignia. The tattoos Nix had ran down her arms, and most likely there were wings on her back.
"Lucy Nix Heartfilia," I said softly, a smile forming on my face. This is who I am, I'm a fighter, I'm a guardian, and I won't ever go down with a fight.
Hope enjoyed and see you guys on Saturday.
Nerdz out.
