I'm sorry for the long update, I have school so, I was trying my best to manage my time and continue this story. This chapter is well I think it has a very interesting part. Thanks for patiently waiting for my update.
Erza's POV
I was gazing upon the night sky letting the cold summer breeze pass by to my facpe.
'Scarlet'
'Since your hair is red, lets add Scarlet on your name okay?'
How many years since that time? I keep those memories, those words of him are frozen forever within me. Where is he now? Is he even still alive?
Then again I'm having this feeling that sooner or later we'll meet again.
"ERZA! ERZA!" my thoughts were disturb with the sudden voice and the loud knock on my door.
"Yeah?" I said as I stood up reaching the door knob, I quickly opened it and saw Juvia looking worried. "Juvia, calm down and tell me what happen"
"its N-Natsu-san he's -" I cut her words. I grab her wrist.
"Hurry Juvia!" I said and dragged her on the way to the guild.
Salamander, This is the first time that I feel he is on agony, from the past 7 years. With his attitude no one in the guild were brave enough to come to him, No, he was the one who was pushing himself away from everyone (except for Happy). I was really surprise on how he act towards to Lucy and I was wondering on how did Lucy even made him her nakama. Then again with his anti-social attitude I think he may not admit this but I think he was already starting to like Lucy, both of them are dense anyway.
At the guild
Lucy was already looking about to cry, beside her was a young lady with a long wavy blond her sitting on the table.
"Hello Everyone!" The young lady said, waving her hand to all of us. I'm quite sure I haven't met her before hmm..
"FIRST M-M-MASTER!" Master Makarov manage to say, before his soul is starting to separate from his body. I shook my head.
"Nice to finally meet you Makarov" The first Master said then smiled at him.
"Master who is she?" I asked. His mouth was wide open.
"Th-the founder of the Fairy tail guild, M-Mavis Vermillion also known as the Fairy Tactician!"
"EHHH!?" We all said, trying to process the words of Master Makarov to our heads.
Hmm, so she is a ghost then, but why is she still wondering here? The first Master chuckled.
"Its all my fault! I'm sorry everyone!" Lucy cried, bowing her head to us. We all looked at her confuse.
Lucy explained to us what happened to her and Natsu's curse.
"Lu-chan, don't blame yourself over his curse" Levy said
"I don't even know why that flame brain started to react like that towards to you" Gray said smugly.
"First Master what do you mean when you told Lucy that Natsu only feels hate?" I asked. The First Master cheerful face suddenly changed, she looked at us seriously.
"When I said Natsu only feels hate it means that Natsu must only have this feeling,"
Is that the reason why he always hate being in the guild, to prevent himself from having different feelings?
"Natsu's feelings are fragile. His curse is like a small bottle, if he started to feel other feelings besides from hate, this small bottle will be overflowing causing the curse to take over him." Mavis added.
"Natsu is becoming really strong when his curse was controlling him, his flames are starting to mix with black flames" Happy said popping to nowhere.
"That was the curse Zeref gave to Natsu, having a great power but making you do fiendish things"
Zeref
If he cursed Natsu, that only means his not a myth and he is alive but the question is why did he have to put a curse like that to Natsu? I asked that question to the First Master even her don't know the answer.
"Lucy, " Mavis eyes were on Lucy "You're the one they are targeting on this point"
Lucy started to tremble, she was drowning herself into her thoughts. I patted her shoulder, she looked at me.
"Wait, why Lucy?" I asked.
"Because Lucy is the only person who can save Natsu" Mavis cold expression changed again a wide grin appeared on her face, causing Mira to giggle. Lucy was still shivering beside me.
"Tell me what to do First Master" Lucy said, Mavis made a wide grin to her.
"You can save Natsu by 'Time Traveling' " Mavis said, Lucy's eyes were wide open.
"W-wait, First Master, what do you mean by that?" Master Makarov asked.
"I think Levy and Fred can explain this" Mavis replied eyeing on Levy and Fred.
Levy stepped forward.
"The First Master is correct, there was a spell that can make a soul travel to time, also by traveling it consumes a lot of magic power, so if your out of magic you will instantly be back on the modern time." Levy explained.
"This spell was forbidden though. This magic can cause a serious damage to body of the user it also might cause to death." Fred added.
Lucy ran into a deep thought, trying to be nonchalant.
"There might be-" Lucy blocked my words by raising her right hand.
"I'll do it!"
My eyes widen. "Lucy! Its too reckless!" I said.
Lucy glance at me and smiled.
"His my Nakama after all"
My mouth shut on its own, everyone and me have no choice but to respect her decession.
Fred and Levy eyed on each other, they started to follow Lucy's choice stoically.
She's breaking a law.
"Lu-chan are you sure about this?" Levy asked looking at Lucy.
"Trust me Levy, I promise to save Natsu" Lucy once again smiled to us.
"If Lucy is risking her life doing something then I shall to!" I said
"I'll help too, seriously that flame brain is trouble" Gray said crossing his arms.
"I'll help since Gray-sama is helping!" Juvia said clinging to him.
"AYE! I'll help too!" Happy said.
Everyone agreed to help. Mavis smiled.
"I already have a plan everyone!" Mavis said full of excitement.
Gessh, such trouble for a one person.
Lucy was lying down on the carpet while Mavis, Levy and Fred performed the spell by saying outloud the words written on a book.
"Are you feeling sleepy Lucy" She asked.
"Yes" Lucy said as she closed her eyes.
"The journey has started. Goodluck Lucy!" Mavis stood up.
"Alright everyone we must do our very best to protect Lucy and Natsu. At this moment Natsu is locked inside the room with Macarov."
Everyone was focused on her. This was the first time this happend.
"This is a very crucial time for us. With Natsu's cursed triggered, his black flames will cause the dead to rise. We must prepare"
Just like that everyone gathered weapons and materials. Out on the guild it was already dark and misty. Just like she said the dead will rise. Natsu's dark flames was creeping to the alley.
We have no choice but to fight.
Be quick Lucy.
Lucy's POV
I slowly opened my eyes, I'm lying in the cold ground and I can feel multiple eyes starring at me. Where am I?
'Hey! Everyone! Its moving!'
'Its alive!'
What the heck was that!?
I pushed my self to be in sitting position, I blinked adjusting my vision. From what I remember I was lying at the bed. Mavis, Levy and Fred are both saying weird words then I suddenly felt sleepy, and when I woke up here I am surrounded by people who was weird because they were talking about my clothes. Levy also reminded me to not do anything stupid that can mess with the future because I'm already breaking the rules oh well I guess I'm messing with it now. This kind of clothes I think haven't been discovered in this period of time.
I stood up earning a few small gasp from the people around me.
They were looking at me like I'am crazy enough to sleep on the street with this kind of clothes.
Hey! There is nothing wrong wearing this kind of clothes this is a free country for crying out loud.
I quickly I looked for the any missing parts of my body. Both eyes check, complete fingers check, both foot are present check, NOT NAKED check. I took a deep breath, whoo, I'm still alive for breaking the rules.
"Are you alright?" asked by a man which I think looked like a twenty years old, he was wearing a long blue robes.
I nod.
"Where am I?" I asked. He glanced on the people on his back.
"You're in the Kingdom of King Igneel" He replied.
My eyes widen..
OH yeah, I can't waste my time anymore I have to talk to him as soon as possible.
"Where is he! I need to talk to him!" I said trying to be calm.
The whispers of the crowd around me started to go wild.
"You can't just wake here and do what you want to the king ya know"
a voice appeared which was also sounded familiar, silenced the crowd.
I searched that familiar voice in the crowd and there she was walking in the crowd to me.
"OH! First Master" I said swiftly bowing my head.
She reached for my arm and dragged me away from the crowd there was a slight tint red on her face.
"How did you know I was a guild Master!?" She said trying not to show her embarrass look.
I winked, she rolled her eyes. Its payback dude.
"Anyway whats your name?" she asked.
"Lucy, Lucy Heartfillia, Master, I need you help!"
"I see"
"Master, I need to find Natsu quick!"
"Let me hear your explanation"
I explained everything starting on how she warned me on my time, the curse of Natsu and of course the reason on why I'am here on this time.
"My mission is to save him, will you help me First Master?" She was still day dreaming about her future.
"So, I'm really that smart" she murmured.
"E-Ehem," I said ruining her moment.
"Oh, sorry you were saying?"
"As I said, I came from the future and I'am really needing your help First Master, please tell me where can I find Nastu!?" I said desperately.
She took something on her pocket and she showed the piece of paper to me.
"Eh? A poster?"
"Its a tournament for the festival Lucy"
I skipped the information when I found the named Igneel my body felt like it was stung by lightning.
"Master, lead the way"
"Sure but if you win the prize is mine"
We rushed our way, I don't care about anything my mind is only focus on one thing and that is saving Natsu.
"I'M GONNA SIGN UP!" I shouted to the crowd in the middle of the capitol.
"THE REGISTRATION IS HERE!" the man shouted, I suddenly felt embarrass because of shouting.
I started to walk to the registration area.
The First Master was nowhere to be found, when we arrived she just vanished.
"Are you sure about this? And whats with that clothes?" The man said, I glared my eyes on him.
"I'm sure about this, and mind your own clothes dude" I frowned.
I started to right my name on this list and my weapon? I think using my whip is fine.
"Oh, you have to wear this" I glance to the black wrist band I took it and wore it to my right wrist.
The rules were simple the first one who stepped out of the circle dead or alive loses, and the one who stays in wins.
Okay round one.
"WAHAHA! A girl!? Its embarrassing to be on this fight" the man with a bounding belly said. (Like a sumo wrestler)
"gosh thanks for the compliment" I murmured.
"WHAT DID YOU SAY!?"
"oh just shut up and attack me!" I said, he glared his eyes on me and started charging with in a fast movement.
He was too madly focused on trying to hit me not realizing that I already dodge his attack causing him to step outside of the circle and lose.
"THE WINNER IS LUCY HEARTFILLIA"
Round two..
This man was not like the other man, he looked more like Elfman. I was there avoiding his attacks no matter what happen I need to save Natsu, I can't use my spirits since I'm already using my magic in time traveling, I took my whip and use it to make him trip and fall out of the circle.
I won. Whoo horay!
Round three to Round Five
"THE WINNER IS LUCY HEARTFILLIA"
Finally!
I putted my hands on my knees catching my breath, I wasted to much time already.
"And now for the final round" said the announcer.
"Wait, what!? There is more!?" The announcer looked at me smugly.
"Have you read the poster? The winner will be fighting the King"
"WHAT!"
The bell clang.
The King Igneel appeared on the stage with a fire effects that made me startled and jump out.
"Oh sorry dear, The rules says that I can't use magic powers right?"
"Uh? Don't know I'm not paying any attention I'm just playing it anyway I-" Igneel cut my words by raising his hand. He smirked.
"I like you" He said.
He was scary like totally terrifying he was absolutely looked like Nastu, a bit older and mature though.
"FINAL ROUND BEGIN"
I gulp.
He started to attack I tried to use the same trick in the Round 1 but he have this swift movements which cause that plan to fail. I was literally using my whip now to attack but instead of attacking I was having trouble of extinguishing his flames on my clothes. I don't want to get my clothes to get burned by his flames so I end up just dodging his attacks.
"You're skills are remarkable young lady" He said, I did a back flip to attack him, he blocked it using his left arm. "You fighting style reminded me of my wife"
Oh sure, I'm remarkable really..
"Anyway King Igneel I need your help" I said already breathing heavily. "I came from the future and I need to save NASTU!" I shouted, about to be out of energy.
"Hmm, I'll talk you after you beat me"
Three minutes later..
Thats it! I'm doomed I can only manage one attack but I'm not sure if I can use this in winning.
I put my hand on my chest catching my breathe.
"Giving up already dear?"
"No way, Never"
"Hmm, Interesting"
One attack, If I can just beat him. Ugh! I'm getting annoyed!
"FATHER! MOTHER IS CALLING YOU!" a child's voice appeared causing Igneel to turned his gaze. I'll thank that saver later for the distraction.
"LUCY KICK!" I hit the king on his right cheek causing his left foot to step on the outside of the circle he looked at me surprised, he placed his right hand at his left cheek, I pushed him causing him to be completely out of the circle.
The cheering stop everything was silent for awhile.
"The winner is... Lucy Heartfillia"
The announcer said who was also surprised. I was still catching my breath.
Igneel shook his head and walk to me, I ready myself to my self defense position.
He raised my left arm and smiled.
"THE WINNER IS LUCY HEARTFILLIA"
He shouted and the crowd goes wild. I smiled brightly, that smile did not last long I felt a huge pain on my body, I'm already losing my magic no I can't disappear right now.
"Whats wrong my dear?" I looked at him weakly.
"My wife can help you" Igneel said.
I saw him that person who saved me on the battle it was him. I smiled.
He looked at me blushing, I was suddenly surprised when he smile it makes me fall for him again and again.
Its him...
Its the Young Prince, Its Natsu Dragneel.
End of Chapter
(Wait what!? No way dude you have to read the most interesting part)
Healing me was the Queen Grandine the pain faded a little but it was still there stinging. Natsu was there also observing me he was still blushing.
"Natsu dear, will you check your little sister upstairs if she's awake" The Queen said as she continues to heal me.
Natsu nods glance at me once more and went out, he has a little sister? Thats surprising.
"So, what it is that you want" Igneel said. I told him that my prize will be given to the guild master of fairy tail.
I once again explained everything. They were shock that I'm now breaking the rules by using a forbidden spell which conclude the theory of the Queen why her magic isn't working to me.
"So, Lucy why does a lady from the future wants to come back to the pass, and I swear when I see you in the future I will have you punish"
Shit.
"I'm here to save Natsu I-"
"AH This is no use, I can't heal her" The Queen said getting pissed. The King and I looked at her, Grandine's annoyed face faded and smiled.
"Actually I already have a cure for Natsu, dear" She took something. Igneel and I stared at each other.
'you know about this?' My expression said
'No, my wife is secretive' Igneel said in his expression
I don't have any idea on how we can communicate by using facial expression.
"Ah here is it" The Queen smiled as she showed to us a small plant on the pot.
"Ah?, Dear what is that?" Igneel said looking confuse I was too.
"This is the plant that can cure Natsu. When the time comes its flower will bloom it will have like rainbow colors, and when the time that Natsu will go out of control because of his curse, by the use of its flower and magic Natsu can finally be free from the curse." The Queen explained.
Hmm. Flower, flower with rainbow colors... I know I remember seeing like that.
OH! That time when I was cleaning Natsu's House I remembered seeing that flower.
"Queen Grandine, please.. Let me use this to save Natsu"
My body started to glow in white light, I tried to hold the loud scream resisting the pain.
"Lucy! Hold on we'll do something" Igneel said both of them are looking at me worried.
I smiled and shook my head I glance to the Queen.
"Onee-san!" I turned my gaze and saw Natsu.
I smiled to him, holding the pain back. No I don't to disappear not yet.
"Q-Queen p-pp-please" I said my words were stammering.
"Lucy this will be a risk, the spell will make you fall to nowhere"
"Please" I pleaded. The Queen sighs giving to me the pot. Whispering the magic words to me.
I manage to walk to the Young Prince who was still looking at me.
I kneel down to him. I was shinning more brightly.
"Onee-san, Will you Marry me"
I was shock obviously but without questions I lean my head to kiss his forehead.
I gave him the pot were the small bud was sparkling into my light.
"Take this as sign of my vow to you. Take good care of it okay" Natsu smiled at me.
"I will. Will you promise to marry me then?" Natsu said.
"I promise" I said with a grin.
The bright light consumes me more and more the sight of his sweet smile starting to fade.
"Don't worry I'll save you Natsu"
