Fairy Tail reinstated

I don't own Fairy Tail.

Lucy smiled as she finished putting the runes around the cave. She was in a mountain range in Iceberg. Her journey had leaded her here. But a snowstorm had prevented her from going any farther. Luckily there had been caves nearby so she was safe. Humming pleasantly as she got in to her sleeping bag, she sighed as she remembered the events that had occurred a hour ago.

Lucy huffed as she climbed up the mountain. The winds were too strong for her to fly. As she was reaching a valley, she was ambushed by a group of bandits. Unfortunately for her they had a group of air mages with them. Within a few minutes, Lucy was pressed against the wall of the valley. Lucy gritted her tooth as the mages approach her.

The leader grinned showing a few missing teeth, "You will fetch a fine price from one of the noblemen. They are always eager for pretty young things like you."

Lucy's eyes widen. As a heiress she was raised to know that her husband may keep mistresses and that she will have to accept. That was one of the main reasons why she had left. She refused to be cheated on. She renewed her struggles with fervor. Then when the man was barely a centimeter form here, something amazing happens. From her bag a purple pinkish glow appeared. Michelle came flying out. Then the glow lengthens and disappeared to reveal a blonde woman. She was wearing a suit of armor that looks as though it was made from flowers. In one hand was a flower-shaped shield. In the other was a sword. Standing protectively in front of Lucy, she glanced disdainfully at the bandits.

"Honestly, no matter what the era, men always enjoyed preying on innocent women."

What did you said, wrench?" the leader shouted as he attacked her. Larissa rolled her eyes as she dodged the attack. A quick swipe of her sword and he was dead, bisected in two. Looking at the stunned bandits, she said, "came at me." A great roar went up as they launched themselves at Larissa.

"Pathetic," Larissa said as she swung her shield at several bandits killing them with its rotating blades.

"Now I got you," a member said as he blows Larissa against the walls of the valley. Larissa landed with a sickening crack. The man laughed as he approaches Larissa, only to end up with a sword through his stomach.

Yanking her sword out, Larissa said, "I am immune to pain." Then with the grace of a high born lady and elegance of a warrior, she dodged a series of air attacks.

Lucy was watching in speechless wonder, when she was suddenly grabbed from behind. A knife was press against her throat.

"Surrender! Or I will slashed her throat," The bandit who was holding Lucy prisoner threatened.

Larissa merely rolled her eyes, before waving a hand in his direction. Vines grow up strangling him and preventing the knife from touching Lucy.

"Lucy, get away from him," Larissa said. Lucy pushes the man away and run towards Larissa. The bandits decide to attack her, seeing as she was weaker than Larissa. However they were stopped by Larissa's vines which strangle or impale them, killing them.

"Are you alright?" Lucy asked her descendant. Lucy was shaking at the sight of the bloody valley and on her knees.

"They a-are d-dead. You kill them," Lucy stammered.

Larissa sighed, "Yes, I did."

"Why?! You could have just knocked them out! You didn't have to kill them."

"Oh, and what will you have done if I just knocked them out?" Lucy opened her mouth to respond, but Larissa hold up a hand forestalling any response. "You are miles from the nearest town so I doubt you could hand them over to legal custody. You don't have the strength or magic to transport them. Would you have been willing to leave them here to prey on others?"

Lucy looked down unsure of what to say. She hadn't considered what she will have done if the bandits had just been unconscious.

Larissa hugged Lucy. "Hush it is okay. I know this is scary. It is always the hardest around the first time." Lucy said nothing. "Come on. Let's get away from there." Putting an arm around Lucy, Larissa started to guide her out of the valley and away from the corpses.

"How could you be so calm?" Lucy asked as they neared the end of the valley.

"Huh?" Larissa said.

"You killed them all without beating an eyelash."

"Do you know my story?"

"Yes."

"Then you should know that I grow up in a time of war. Back then, things were different. You either killed or be killed. After I casted the spell to bind me to my younger sister's doll, I become the protector for all Heartfilia children. Over the years, I killed hundreds of people to protect my family or to avenge them." Larissa sighed. "I do regret most of their deaths, but some people I just won't forgive. These are the people who try sold innocent people, especially women, as slaves."

Lucy sighed. She knew that Larissa was trying to make her feel better, and in a way it was working. Despite never killing before, she knew some people deserved to be killed.

"Look, I am the one who killed them not you, so don't feel guilty," Larissa said. "I have to go back to my doll form now so be on your guard." And with that she turned back into a doll. Lucy picks up the doll and put it back in her bag.

Lucy shook her head, deciding not dwell on the past. Just then a beeping noise came from her bag. Reaching into it she pulled out the communication lacrima that Mira had given her. Channeling magic in it to accept the call, she was unsurprised to see Mira's face. What was surprising was the look of relief on her face.

"Lucy thank goodness you are alive!"

Line break

A year has passed since Fairy Tail disbanded. Natsu had come back and had with Levy and Gajeel's help contact the other members and rebuilt the guild hall. Over the past 2 months, every member had returned. Every member but Lucy. Mira and her siblings had arrived a month ago. They, along with Levy and Wendy, had explained that Lucy had left to search for Aquarius' key. Team Natsu had wanted to go after her, but they had no idea where she was. The Strauss siblings only know that she was going east. Mira had tried to contact her on the communication lacrima, but for some reason she wasn't answering. They all feared the worst until today.

Mira sighed as she failed to reach Lucy again. Thanks to Cana's card readings, they know she was still alive but for some reason she wasn't answering. Sighing she tried again, not expected Lucy to answer but hoping against hope. Her hope was rewarded when Lucy's face appeared.

"Lucy thank goodness you are alive!"

Lucy looked confused "of course I am alive. Why wouldn't I be?"

"We haven't been able to contact you."

"Oh, that is probably because I put my bag along with the lacrima in the Celestial World."

"Why?"

"I was climbing up some mountains and that was hard and dangerous enough without a bag weighting me down."

"Oh, good point." They hadn't thought that Lucy may have stored the communication lacrima in a place where she couldn't hear if they called.

"So why have you called me?"

"Fairy Tail is back!"

"Huh?" Lucy couldn't process the words.

"Natsu came back a few months ago and with Levy and Gajeel's help contacted everyone. The guild is back now and almost fully rebuild."

"Oh that's nice." Lucy said neutrally. She didn't know what to think. Her home and family was back. And as much as she wanted to go back, she still had found Aquarius' key yet. If she goes back now, who knows when she will be able to found Aquarius' key. It took her almost half a year to get to where she was. If she goes back to Fiore now, then there will be precious time wasted. Time in which another wizard could get their hands on Aquarius' key and make a contact with her.

"Is something wrong? You don't seem thrilled about Fairy Tail being reformed" Mira asked, seeing Lucy's lack of enthusiasm.

"No! I am happy. It's just that I haven't found Aquarius' key yet."

A look of understanding dawned on Mira's face. Of course Lucy would want to finish what she want to set out to do before returning. "I understand. I just want to let you know that the guild is back and you will have a home to return to when you are finished your journey. So where are you?"

"In a mountain range in Iceberg. It is snowing outside so I am in a cave waiting for it to end."

"STAY THERE! WE'RE COMING TO GET YOU!"

Lucy blinked at the loud scream. Mira winced.

"Natsu be so kind as not to scream in my ear."

Natsu pushed Mira out of sight. "LUCY, JUST STAY WHERE YOU ARE. WE ARE COMING TO HELP YOU!

"Natsu," Lucy said in an exasperated voice. "It took me almost half a year to get here. I am not waiting in the mountains for 6 months for you to get here. Besides I am so close now to founding Aquarius' key. It should be in this mountain range."

"But it is dangerous! You can get hurt!"

Lucy rolled her eyes, "So is going on monster fighting missions. But you still dragged me on these. Besides I am stronger and I have more spirits now. I will be fine."

"But…"

"Lucy will be fine. We will protect her," Loke said as he appeared.

"Of course you will," Erza said pushing a protesting Natsu out of the way "We have faith in you."

"Don't worry. All of Lucy's spirits will protect her."

"Good. Don't disappoint us." Erza said.

"Erza, how can you agree to this?! Lucy could get hurt!" Natsu screamed.

Erza glared. "I don't like this anymore than you do, but Lucy is right. The amount of time it takes us to get to her current location sis the same as the amount of time it would take for Lucy get back. It's better for her to continue on like she is."

"But…"
"No more comments from you." Erza knocked Natsu out with armored hit to the head.

Lucy yawned. "I am getting tired. I will talk to you all tomorrow."

"Alright, get your rest Lucy. Call us when you found Aquarius' key." Erza said.

Lucy turned off the lacrima before putting it in her bag. As she slept that night her dreams were full of the adventures that she and her friends had.

Sorry I have been busy with school and I just can't get the ending the way I wanted it.

Thank you for all your support.
