Chapter 9 Catch up
DISCLAIMER I DO NOT OWN FAIRY TAIL. ALL RIGHTS GO TO HIRO MASHIMA.
**NOTE**: Natsu and Lucy will NOT be sleeping with each other his is rated the way it is for a reason and I do not feel comfortable writing any more provacative than a simple kiss. There is no ruther discussion on that subject.
3rd person P.O.V.
"Well, well, well, why don't you to get a room. No need for the PDA" a voice sounded behind Natsu and Lucy, which made them jump and break the kiss.
"Way to ruin the moment Ice princess!" Natsu yelled at Gray who was standing in the doorway with a slight smirk on his face. Lucy was darker than Erza's hair, bright red from embarrassment.
"Wanna go Flame brain" Gray retorted when Natsu called him Ice Princess.
"Your on, popsicle" Natsu said as he jumped off the bed and lunged at Gray, causing the both of them to fly out of the room. Crashing noises could be heard from the infirmary as the two fought from a mile away.
Lucy soon snapped out of her embarrassed trance with a shake of her head. She touched her lips gently since she could still imagine the feel of Natsu kissing her. Lucy quickly stood up and when she did she noticed a body in the middle of the floor, blood slowly pooling under it, trailing from the nose. The body was no other than Mirajane Strauss herself, this mad Lucy laugh a little bit from amusement. Lucy went over to Mira and helped her up off the floor. She then began to help stop the bleeding by sticking tissue paper up the poor woman's nose. Mira was soon revived when she gave a devilish smile in Lucy's direction.
Before Mira could say anything Lucy interrupted her "yes I know and I don't know if I'm ready to further dwell in it. At least not for the time being. I do like him but I want things to be more romantic not just making out because he wants to okay" Mira simply nodded at the reply and accepted it. She had just seen two of the people she had matched together in her head kiss after all, which only make her smile intensify.
Lucy just rolled her eyes and walked towards the exit of the infirmary. "I supposed I should explain to Natsu why I left. He deserves to know after all, then I will show you guys my new keys if you like" she said and headed downstairs with Mira hot on her tail.
When they reached the bar Mira made Lucy a strawberry milkshake while she pulled Natsu from the fight with Gray, using her speed to knock Gray to the floor and grabbed Natsu and sat him at a table.
"Natsu, no fighting with Gray I need to tell you why I left and what I did while I was gone alright. And before you say anything I want you to let me finish, no interruptions." Natsu just nodded.
"Okay so it was a few months after the Grand Magic Games. I was feeling guilty and weak about losing all my fights and for getting Kidnapped during it as well. I know you are going to say that I was never weak but I felt like I was. A month before I left I had contemplated leaving in order to get stronger. I wanted to prove to myself that I was not weak. You may have seen me as strong but I didn't feel like I was. So when I did leave I had been thinking about it for a long time before I actually left. It wasn't one of those leaving out of the blue thoughts. So when I left I had a goal in mind and had had a clear enough plan set on what I wanted to do to become mor powerful. In the end though I threw away that plan once I met Astraeus. He taught me how to run as fast as I can now, he taught me Celestial Dragon Slaying Magic and he taught me to enhance my celestial spirit Mage magic capacity. And no he is not human, he was a dragon, like Igneel to you, Metalicana to Gajeel, and Grandiney to Wendy" when Lucy said the word dragon Natsu's eyes grew wide with shock and his jaw was on the ground. Lucy just smirked and continued her story "well for the first few months he trained my speed. It hurt like being tortured but I eventually got used to the pain and started to speed up quite a bit, until one day I was at the level it is today. After that we started on the dragon slaying spells. I had succeed the first time I tried it and that was the spell that I told you guys about in one of my letters. It took little under a year and a half to master. Between which I came and visited you guys since you kept trying to find me. On my way back from my visit I stumbled upon Zane's egg where he hatched and I made him my exceed"
Zane had moved to sit with Lucy at this point. Up until now he was talking with Happy, Carla, and PantherLilly. He made salute when Lucy mentioned his name. Lucy continued speaking.
"After that we finished the dragon slayer training and went onto improving to magic capacity to where I could summon all my golden keys at once. At that point Aster gave me some new keys that are much more powerful than my zodiac keys. They are known as the Mystic Keys." Lucy said and reached into her key holder and withdrew the new keys and placed them on the table in front of her. "I have Andromeda, the chained lady; Cetus, the sea monster; Draco, the dragon; Eridanis, the river of death; Hydra, the five headed beast; Monoceros, the unicorn; Pavo, the peacock; Pegasus, the winged horse; Phoenix, the fire bird; Grus, the crane; Tucana, the toucan; and finally Ursa Major, the great bear." Lucy said pointing to each key they were all ivory in color and each one had a different colored gem and symbol on them.
" after I mastered each of the keys I came back here and that's when everything else happened." Lucy said finishing her story and showing off her new keys. Natsu just stared wide eyed at her. He had a loss for words. He was amazed at what Lucy had accomplished since she had started training 3 years ago.
"Wow Lucy you must be really strong now" Natsu said after a little while. He was amazed at how powerful she had actually become.
"Yeah I guess I am, aren't I" Lucy said with a smile.
"Hey Lucy now that you are back how about we go in a mission just like old times" Natsu said randomly.
"Okay Natsu lets go then" Lucy said standing up and running to the job board with excitement.
Natsu soon followed her thinking 'thank you for returning to me Luce'
So that is the end of chapter 9 I hoped you guys enjoyed it.
When I was thinking about what to write I literally took the time to research the 88 constellation in the exists. From that list I comprised I picked 12 to be the mystical keys. Each one is legitimate and actually exists. I was going to add Cassiopeia, daughter of Andromeda; and Cepheus father of Andromeda but I found their relation ship too weird for my liking since in the Greek folklore Cepheus fathered Andromeda but married Cassiopeia, who is his granddaughter, which I find disturbing but they are actual constellations nonetheless.
Well until next week I hope you have a good time enjoying this story. Let me know how you want this story to progress I will reply to each comment if you leave one.
