Chaos + Love =?
Experiment #10~ A flame with no spark
(Narrator)
"Natsu!" Everyone shouted as a hurl of garters came flying fast.
The dragon slayer managed to dodge the attack, just before it hit his chest area. He flipped and turned but his eyes were still focus on that Lulu.
Maybe he was so interested who was that person because she looked like the person he loves so dearly? Who knows? All that is on his mind right now is that the person who is attacking him has the same face as the person he loves.
"Same face?" he thought. He looked at the structures of her face and nothing wrong there. But one thing caught his attention, the eyes. Sure the eyes have the same colour as Lucy's, but there was no spark in it. Lucy's eyes were always cheerful, innocent, and bright; but this girl's eyes were dull, lonely, and full of hatred.
"Why do you keep looking at me?" Her voice ringed out as the constant stare of Natsu got on her nerves.
She waved her right hand, signalling the garters to come flying at team Natsu. She was pissed off with the thought that everyone sees her as Lucy, one of the persons she despises the most.
"Ice make-" her attention focused on a black haired and half naked boy. "Canon!" Frozen particles came flying at her as she tried to move her garters, but found them frozen stiff.
"Kyaaa!" she flew as most of those heavy particles hit her frail body.
"Tsk. It's not over yet." She stood up and sliced off the frozen garters from her waist using a Swiss knife. Another pair of rolls appeared and she sent them out flying at the ice boy.
"Requip!" the scarlet head sliced those garters to pieces.
"Thanks Erza." Gray sighed in relief.
"Fire Dragon's-" the voice cam nearer and nearer. "Talons!" Natsu came flying above them as he was focusing the attack on their said enemy.
"It's my turn!" he shouted.
Lulu managed to avoid the attack, but her right ankle didn't. It was bruised and burnt by Natsu's flames.
"At this rate, Matser is going to scold me if I don't bring back any money." She thought.
When she was about to call it retreat, and grab some money before disappearing, a sharp pain travelled from her nerves and veins going to her brain. She couldn't run and she couldn't fly since her magic was beyond minimal. Her power source was suddenly cut off and she noticed her hand was becoming transparent.
She quickly hid it away in the pocket of her black denim mini skirt as she heard loud footsteps coming.
"What do you people want?" the tone of her voice was cold but frail.
They looked at the image of their friend, sitting on both of her knees with her back faced at them. But the problem is, is she their friend?
'Oi, answer me. Are you Lucy Heartfilia?" Natsu's voice was direct but very much interested in the answer.
"I told you. Don't call me with that pathetic woman's name, especially with the name Heartfilia!" Even though you could see how she would collapse any second now, she still managed to shake everyone with the volume of her voice.
"Pathetic? What do you mean pathetic?" Natsu's tone was becoming furious.
"She's a stupid and ignorant woman! She's so pathetic for throwing away everything just like that!" the hatred could be felt in those words.
"Lucy is not pathetic!" Natsu grabbed her collar and shouted directly at her face.
Lulu was surprised and her eyes widened as what Natsu said about Lucy.
"It's always about Lucy. Lucy this and Lucy that." She murmured under all that pressure. "I don't want to be mistaken as Lucy, so keep this all in mind. My name is Lulu and I may have the same face and features as her, but I am a different person." She then vanished into thin air and they never got the chance to ask why she looks like Lucy.
"She said that she's a different person, but I feel like that she's still Lucy-san somehow." Wendy's voice rose from nowhere.
"You're right." Erza changed back to her usual attire.
"Lucy why do I feel like that you're so close yet so far from me?" Natsu Dragneel calmed down his fury and looked up. "We have to put out the fire everyone." He then headed to the core of the fire.
Meanwhile, at a palace where it is surrounded by mountains, Lulu was kneeling, and crying at the foot of a shadow.
"Master, please forgive me. I just can't bear that they are calling me with that despicable woman's name." She wailed.
"You should have focused on your mission you insolent fool." The shadow spoke with an eerie voice.
"I'm sorry, I'm really sorry. I won't do it again." She bowed while kneeling and kept crying.
The dark shadow paused and replied. "You're just begging for your life aren't you? You're afraid to disappear, now that you have gotten out of that shell."
"Y-Yes. There are still things I want to do. Like destroying that guild called Fairy Tail."
"Oh, really? Is that what you want to do?"
"Yes. It's a token of my gratitude and thanks for setting me free. And I want to destroy something important to that despicable woman."
"Well you are just a flame with no spark, so it can't be helped. But to think that you have a different personality from the original, I really did make the right choice in choosing my doll."
The shadow's left hand extended to Lulu, and a light came rushing in to her body, making her solid again.
The shadow left the room, and Lulu was left with a figure similar to hers. She stared at it with disgust and she later came closer to the figure revealing
"Lucy Heartfilia. What a disgusting name to be said and heard." She looked at Lucy whom was lying on a steel table with just a cloth covering her body.
"But I can't kill you or else I'll disappear. After all I'm just a flame with no spark." Lulu grabbed Lucy's neck and groped it tightly. "Why can't you be the one not existing? I'm much better than you!"
Lucy flinched in her deep sleep and Lulu released her grip. "No matter. I'll drain you with your magic and destroy that guild you love the most. And maybe I'll kill that Fire Dragon Slayer along the way also? This will be fun."
Lulu smiled and left the room. She then changed her ruined clothes to fresh new ones, just like Lucy's top, skirt, and shoes.
"Although this disgusts me, but destroying them from the inside will be fun. I have to tolerate being called Lucy for a while, but it'll be worth it once they'll all crumble down."
Lulu then set out for Magnolia to go to the guild Fairy Tail. She was smiling maliciously along the way and when she was at the door step of the guild,
"Hi everyone! I'm back." She smiled so innocently like how Lucy did.
"Lucy!" everyone shouted.
Everyone gathered up around her and gave her warm welcomes, except for Natsu who was thinking.
"Flames with no sparks can never shine as bright."
They exchanged glares and Lucy gave a smile, but not the doubting Natsu.
