Aaron's POV

I sat at the bar waiting for Lucy to arrive so that we could leave and start our training but for some reason she hadn't. I wasn't worried or anything because I knew she could handle herself but ut just wasn't like her to be late.

I waited for another five minutes before I said goodbye to Mira and left the guild to go look for her. As I walked out the door I collided with a red-faced and out of breath Lucy.

"S-sorry Aaron, I kinda slept in" She said trying to catch her breath.

"Its fine, But we should get going if we want to get there in time" I said as I walked towards Magnolias East forest

She followed a few steps behind me for about half a mile before she stopped dead in her tracks "Um this isn't the way to the train station"

I turned around with a smirk on my face "We aren't going on a train, Those things are death traps. We're going in style" I quickly ran towards her,wrapped my arms around her and a bright yellow light flashed and I let her go.

She walked up to me and was about to hit me when she eventually noticed that we were no longer in magnolia. We were in fact in Bellum, Where I learned to use Heaven dragon slaying magic.

"How the- What the- But weren't we just- How the hell did we get here?" She asked looking around so fast that I thought she might break her neck.

"We're in Bellum, This place is 200ft underground. Runes in every room so that it can't be destroyed, Training rooms for every type of magic, A 50ft long running track, Pool, Hot springs and pretty much everything else you need for training... and to answer you're question I teleported us here. Now go through that door on your left and run fifteen laps I'll be back in a minute" I told her before walking down a flight of stairs and into a more secure training room.

I flipped a switch and dozens of training dummies came out from different parts of the walls, floor and roof. I pulled out some shuruken, daggers and knives and threw them at the targets. He first few missed the centre by a few inches but the others hit dead centre.

I lost concentration for a slight second and my vision was plagued with memories that I didn't want to remember, The people I couldn't save and the destruction I had once cause all those years ago.

(Flashback)

I had been walking for days without stopping after I had left the dragons and I still hadn't found a town that I could rest in.

I continued to walk for another twenty minutes and I finally found a small town that had a river running straight through the middle of it. It looked abandoned and had it not been for the little girl who tackled me to the ground I would have left.

She looked about thirteen or fourteen and looked severely beaten up, her clothes were stained with blood and they were torn to shreds.

"P-please you h-have to help us. Those men are after me and they plan on killing me and the rest of this town" The girl yelled as I trued to pick her up of the ground.

As I was about to ask what men. A group of about seven men walked around the corner and started laughing manically.

"Well look at this, The little slut has a friend. What ya gonna do slap us to death or something" One of the men mocked making the rest of them laugh.

I then recognised the guild mark they had on them. I had learned that it was from a dark guild called Raven Tail and it was the same people who hurt Lucy and I would make them pay.

But before I could do anything I was knocked unconscious and when I woke up the town had been burnt to the ground and bodies lay everywhere and I blamed myself because if I had been stronger they would still be alive

(Flashback End)

I snapped out of the memory and growled slightly while creating explosions around each of the dummies.

Just calm down and stop reliving those memories. Now just call out Celeste and get on with Lucy's training. I thought to myself

Open: Gate of the Celestial Dragon: Celeste

In a flash of pink light Celeste stood in front of me in all her glory. " It's good to see you again Aaron" she said whilst bowing

I smiled slightly and gestured for her to walk with me "I've got someone who you might want to meet"

Lucy's POV

The longer I ran the more I started to get light-headed and feel sick. I mean who makes someone run fifteen laps just to start of their training... Gah I hope this pays off I thought as I finished my last lap.

I collapsed to the ground with a thud and tried to get feeling back into my legs. Suddenly a blue aura surrounded my body and I started to feel ten times better.

I looked towards the door that I had entered through and saw Aaron standing there with a smug look on his face and a tall slender woman with long pink hair standing behind him.

"Lucy I'd like for you to meet Celeste. She's the Celestial Dragon and the only person who I know that can actually beat me in a fight" Aaron said gesturing to the woman behind him.

"Hello Lucy, I've heard so much about you from your brother here. He tells me that you can use Celestial dragon slayer magic and that you want to become stronger, Is that correct?" Celeste said with a soft yet serious tone.

I nodded and a playful smirk appeared on her face. Just what have I gotten myself into

3 Months Later

After three months of extreme training with Celeste and Aaron I have now mastered all the Dragon slayer techniques as well as learning to open up to four gate keys at a time. They had also taught me hand-to-hand combat which helped me a lot.

"Well Lucy it seems like I have done all I can, I wish you luck on your quest and hope to see you again soon" Celeste said whilst disappearing in a puff of smoke.

"So Lucy you ready for this" I heard Aaron say behind me. I turned around to face him and noticed he was holding something behind his back.

I gave him a confused look and he laughed slightly before he brought his hands round to show me his gate key that he used to summon his spirits. I looked dumbfounded as he placed it in my hands along with a small card with a white dragon in the corner.

"This is my gift to you for the exam...The key will allow you to summon any of your spirits along with the one that have contracts with me, The card is a one time use thing. If you can't summon me with my key then use this but it'll only work once so don't waste it...and good luck in the exam" he said with a hint of sadness in his voice.

I looked down at the key and placed it on my belt while I put the card in my pocket "Wait aren't you coming back with me to the guild before I go"

He smiled sadly at me before moving slightly closer and putting a hand on my shoulder "My journey isn't at Fairy Tail...There are things I need to do and I need to leave tonight so I'll see you back at the guild and I won't be welcoming you as my sister but an S-Class mage"

Before I could protest a bright light shone around me and I covered my eyes. I felt the wind blowing against my face and when I opened my eyes I was standing in front of the guild. That baka! When I see him I'm so going to kick his ass.
