Dear Readers, I am proud (and a bit sad) to present the final chapter of A Stellar Dream!
So I did go off topic towards the end, but I hope you enjoyed it.
And now I bring to you chapter 10!
Enjoy!
Normal P.O.V
The light faded and there stood Lucy. Natsu and Happy gasp at her current form, their jaws dropping to the floor. She looked… beautiful. Stunning. Incredible.
She opens her eyes, having closed them at entrance, and points a finger at Muzir.
"This is now a fight of the stars. You have broken the celestial law, you will receive punishment."
Muzir is taken back, he knew she had power, let alone this much. He narrows his eyes and launches at her.
She dodges to the left, quick on her bare feet. "What have you done is despicable, I can't believe a celestial spirit like you exists. You stabbed your mage. You killed them."
"THEY THOUGHT I WAS CRAZY."
"YOU ARE!"
Lucy strikes with a counter attack. She brings her hands to her sides, light being drained from them and forming into a lance of light. She brings her arms back then throws her light at him. It strikes him and he yells. He then summons a huge orb of dark magic and shoots at her.
She disappears.
"LUCY!" Natsu and Happy shout in unison.
A shower of light strikes down on Muzir.
Lucy was flying, her wings gracefully extending behind her. Their golden colour made the whole room look evil. She looked like an angel.
Muzir was struck bad, but didn't hesitate to get back onto his feet.
He was bleeding now, in more places than Natsu could count.
Lucy barely misses the next attack. Muzir shoots an endless number or black magic lances her way grazing and hurting her shoulder. She screams in pain. She dips low then comes back in front of him a sudden wave of energy bursting from her feet, striking Muzir hard. He stumbles back.
She then sends out simple slashes of celestial energy missing him, as he jumps up and spins sending a small tornado of black energy toward her. She's hit again and her glow falters.
Muzir smiles. He's getting closer to victory. But Lucy doesn't give up. She sends out one more attack with all her might, a shot of celestial energy that pierces his stomach. He howls in pain.
Lucy lands back on the ground. She looks to Natsu.
"Natsu!?" She tilts her head to the side, as if asking for something.
Happy gasps then whispers in Natsu's ear. He looks to him then Lucy who nods. He nods in agreement then gets back onto his feet.
Muzir sees and goes to attack Natsu. Lucy notices and leaps, reaching out one of her wings to defend the attack.
"LUCY!" Natsu shouts. Lucy draws her wings back in. She knew she wouldn't need them from now on so she lets them go, and in a flash they disappear. The sharp pain remains. But she knows her transformation will end soon anyway. She looks to Natsu once more.
"You ready Natsu?"
"You bet."
They stand back to back and Happy flies to the back of the room. They hold their arms out and grasps each other's hand.
"UNISON RAID!"
A bursting flash of flame and stellar light blend and a beam of pure magic energy appears and pierces straight through Muzir. He falls, defeated, and he can't do anything about it.
Finally they finish, and Muzir lies limp on the floor. "Did you kill him?" Happy asks.
Natsu shrugs, then howls out in pain, remembering his injured leg.
He looks back to Lucy who he has noticed has changed back to her regular form.
Natsu P.O.V
That was so cool.
"THAT WAS SO COOL! HOW THE HECK DID YOU DO THAT? YOU GOTTA TEACH ME."
She smiles then stumbles.
"Are you okay?" I ask. She looks bit weak, but she remains standing.
She nods. "A celestial transformation. Will only happen when I align with my stars."
"And how do you do that?"
"To tell you the truth, I don't know. But, my celestial sprits will be there with me throught the journey."
"And so will I."
Well, it's now or never. Happy flew out of the room, calling that he was going to go back to the guild and try get some help. There was no way we could get back on our own.
"Lucy…"
I can't say it. We're alone but I still can't say it.
"Natsu…" Her face reddens.
"Natsu, I… I… I-Iloveyou…"
What?
"What did you say?"
"I-I… I… love..."
We stand there, silent for a minute looking into each other's eyes.
"You."
I re go through my head what jus happened.
I blush a little then smile.
"I… I love you too Luce…"
She gasps in surprise. She wasn't expecting anything in return.
I smile and hug her, she hugs me back.
We slowly draw back and catch hold of each other's gaze. We stay like that for a few mere seconds before slowly pulling into a short, sweet kiss.
Lucy P.O.V
We lean back, eyes half closed. I then embrace him. These mutual feelings for one another, the ones we share, are true. And thank God they are.
He holds me and I let him. Please let this moment never end.
Damn. I jinxed it.
"Umm… If you two love birds are done, I think we have a problem…"
We pull back suddenly and turn to face the blue cat, red faced.
"Stupid cat…" I mutter. "What is it?"
"Umm, the door disappeared… How do we get back?"
Natsu and I let our jaws drop to the ground. "WHAT!?"
Happy grabs hold of Natsu, since he can't exactly walk, and we head towards where we came in.
"Damn it, how do we get back now?" Natsu groans.
I stop to think. "There has to be a way out. After all, Muzir and Vori had to get out somehow… That reminds me… What happened to Vori anyway?"
Natsu looks down, "She… Muzir got to her…"
I look down. Despicable. I sigh. "Maybe we should look back in the tower."
And with that we set off.
~Time skip~
We find the door. It resembles the one in my dreams. I take one more glance at it before gently pushing it open.
Normal P.O.V
They find themselves outside of the huge house.
"WE'RE BACK HERE!?" The three shout in unison.
They look around. The sun was setting once more.
How long has it been? They all wondered.
They shook off the thought however and left straight away, refusing to turn back as if they'd be sucked into it again.
They never bothered to question how this happened or what has happened to Muzir.
Instead they got on the next train to Magnolia.
The three got off the train. Happy was carrying Natsu and they were all tired.
"Let's get you to the guild first Natsu," Lucy spoke first. "Let Wendy heal you, maybe help wrap up your leg, then we can all go home.
Natsu nodded in agreement, still sick from the journey.
They slowly made their way to the guild hall. Stopping every now and then to rest. Natsu was feeling better but Happy was tired from carrying him around so Lucy took over.
They finally reached the guild. Natsu was leaning on Lucy's back, an arm around her for support. Happy had used all his flying magic up, so he was walking on the ground on the other side, next to Lucy. Together they struggled to open the huge guild doors, sighing with relief once opened. The whole guild turn to face them. It had been five days since they left on the mission and the guild was beginning to worry.
"They've returned!" Cried out Mirajane, and the whole guild cheer for the return of the guild mates.
"Tell us what happened!" Called out Levy. And so began explanation.
~Time Skip (again) ~
The whole guild was intrigued. Of course, Lucy and Natsu skipped the whole love realising detail.
"Woah, you had it tough."
"I could've done it quicker."
"That was amazing Lucy-san!"
"Took you long enough."
"I' assuming you didn't hurt yourself a lot in the process?" Lucy and Natsu silence at Erza's remark.
She sighs, "Please tell me you don't have any life threatening injuries."
They shake their heads.
"Natsu broke his leg, I hurt my shoulder and Happy…" Everyone looked down to the said cat, who was nibbling away at one of his rewarded fishes.
"Hmm, Wendy?" Erza turned to the girl.
"Oh, yes Erza-san!" She got on her knees and started work on Natsu's leg, before soon moving on to Lucy's shoulder. "There, all better. Just take it easy for the next few days…"
Natsu however jumped up and laughed at the faces of his once worried guild mates.
"The whole story! That was long, now LET'S PARTY!" The whole guild soon cheer again to his idea, but of all people, Happy flies up to object.
"Huh? What's wrong little buddy?"
"You forgot one part…"
"We did?"
"You did?" Everyone questioned.
"Yes. The part where you and Lucy confessed your undying love for each other~"
Lucy and Natsu immediately turned red. "COME HERE YOU MANGY LITTLE CAT!"
"HAPPY YOU'RE IN BIG TROUBLE!"
And so he flew off laughing, Lucy and Natsu chased him, and the whole guild was back to the way it was before. Sort of.
So there you go!
