Those who did not read the new chapter 9, please go and read it.I re-wrote it and basically the plot of the chapter is way different.
Say what pairings you want in the story in the review. Also comment what you think, I love reading them, good or bad :)
I'm also going to apologise for my excessive use of smiley faces, I just feel like I HAVE to add them.
The doors to the guild burst open.
"We're here!" Natsu ran into the guild hall, Laxus not that far behind him
Lucy walked towards the two, "You're a bit late, Mino's already taken care of."
Natsu raised his eyebrows, "Mino? You mean that creation guy I met the other day?"
She nodded, "He did quite a bit of damage on the guild but everybody managed."
Natsu looked around, Gray had a cut on his arm and Erza was limping. Jamaga was badly scratched along his chest but the other gods seemed fine. The guild was even worse now, the tables were either destroyed or scorched and the floor was shattered. Without saying, he started to walk up the stairs.
"Where do you think you're going dragon boy?" Jamaga grabbed onto his arm and pulled him down to the bottom of the staircase.
Natsu pulled his arm out of his grasp, "I want to talk to Mino."
"And why would you want to do that?" Jamaga crossed his arms and leaned against the staircase railing.
"He taught me a new thing for my magic and I want to see why."
"Let me guess, this thing is being able to create solid flames in the form of non-moving objects."
He looked at him with wide eyes, "Yea, how did you know?"
"Mino helped me come up with that, the creation of objects made out of fire. That is a move that was only ment for gods."
Natsu grinned, "Does that make me part god?"
Jamaga responded by flicking him in the head, "No you idiot."
Natsu growled at him and his fists began to light up, before he could do anything Lucy ran in between them.
"Okay, you guys don't need to fight. Natsu, you can't go see Mino because he's not allowed to see others and Jam, I want you over by the other injured people so I can heal you."
"Can't we get Gira to heal us?"
Lucy grabbed his arm and dragged him to the closest bar stool, "He's busy and Wendy isn't here so I'm probably the next best thing."
"But I hate it when you use your magic on me, it feels odd and I know you can see into my mind."
"It's not like I see much, just what you looked like when you were little and what you learnt back then, it's not like I'm seeing your secrets or anything."
"Yea yea just get over and done with will ya." He looked up at Lucy her right eye was had already changed colour. He could feel her looking through his mind.
"This may sting a little bit." The moment the words left her mouth, the skin on his chest began to glow, he looked down and could see the cuts disappearing.
Lucy walked away from him and began to work on Erza, "Do you mind closing your fake eye? It will make this a lot easier for me." She nodded and closed her right eye, it was done quickly and then she was walking over to the next person.
Jamaga grew bored of watching her heal others so he went and sat down with Ian and Afza. They were discussing the 'bad' gods.
"We need to get them out of here. It's a matter of time before Dike will send Crius over." Afza continued to talk, ignoring Jamaga.
"I'm questioning why he didn't send Crius with Mino. Why would he send the second in command?"
"He called me out when he got here." Ian and Afza looked at him, "I think he was expecting me to hand the twins over because Mino and I used to be close friends."
Ian shook his head, "They're smarter than that, Dike would never act without a plan."
"Well lets hope one of the boys upstairs spills the plan before they attack." Afza got up and walked upstairs to where Nasha was sitting.
"What do you think our chances of beating Crius and Dike is?" Ian looked over at him.
"I would say pretty low but I think we have the upper hand with Lucy."
"But if they close their eyes she's pretty much like the rest of us."
Jamaga leaned forward in his seat, resting his chin on his hands, "But that gives us the advantage of sight. That will help us with the physical fight."
"Guess it will, until they come I think we need to help Lucy with some of her physical powers, she can't even teleport without slowing down time, which is useless against Dike or using that bracelet which would be incapable of use if Nasha gets knocked out."
They looked over at Lucy, she had finished healing the others and was now talking to Gray and Erza. "We will start her training again tomorrow but we need her to stay here in case they attack during the night."
After a couple of hours, Lucy was sent upstairs to see Gira. She opened the doors to the room the gods were given. Nasha was on one of the many beds sleeping. Gira and Afza were on the couch talking, she also noticed the twins and Mino in the corner of the room in what seemed to be a cage made out of light.
"Oh hey Lucy, we have a few things we want to discuss." Gira motioned her to come forward. She sat down on the bed opposite them.
Afza began to talk once she sat down. "We want you to stay here with us tonight in case the guild is attacked again. Jam and Ian have also organised some training for you tomorrow."
"What type of training?" She leaned back against the wall by the bed.
"You have yet to learn proper teleportation magic and since youth magic has no other kinds of teleportation uses, I will personally teach you sky teleportation. You also need to learn attacks like gods bellow and gods heavenly fist."
"I don't want to sound like an idiot but what does those attacks do?"
"You're friends with the dragon slayer correct?" She nodded, "Well I guess it would be easier to say that gods bellow is like dragons roar and gods heavenly fist is like dragons iron fist."
"Okay, well I'm looking forward to learning more, I missed my training."
Gira raised his eyebrows, "Its only been one day."
"Well I still miss it, I didn't like being on the island without you guys." She got up and ruffled Afza's hair, "You're like another family to me."
"Aww thanks Lucy, but where are you going now?"
She turned around, "Just want to get a drink from the bar." She continued to walk off and was soon out of the room.
The stairs were located on the other side of the second floor so she had to walk around. As she walked, she looked down to the first floor of the building, she has never seen the guild this messed up before, well except for the time that Phantom Lord attacked it. She was almost there when she walked into a door.
"Silly Blondie, you should look where you're going." She saw Laxus walk out of the newly opened door.
"Well you should watch out for people when you're opening that door of yours."
"Oh well, good thing you're here. I've been wanting to talk to you." He walked into the room and she followed.
The room had a desk with one chair behind it, in the corner was a packed bag, probably there in case he was sent out on an urgent mission. Beside the bag was a mini fridge and a Tv.
"So this must be your office." She didn't want to sit in his seat so she sat on the desk.
"Yea, Gramps gave it to me so I can help him with complaints from the council." He nodded towards the stack of paper beside her.
She couldn't help but laugh at the large amount of paperwork. "So what did you want to talk about?"
Laxus closed the door and stood in front of her. "First of all, I want to say that back on the island, Natsu and I talked about your safety. He doesn't agree with me but I'm worried you're going to get yourself killed if you keep protecting others like you are."
She tilted her head, "Well what option do I have, I can't let people get hurt in front of me. I do know my own limits and I promise you, I'm not dying anytime soon."
"I hope you don't, but that leads me to another thing I wanted to say, It came to my mind that there is only a small amount of gods, I would have expected more than eleven. Also it is very weird that you're all the same age. Do you know if there were any gods before you?"
"I have no idea, I wasn't even told about Dikes gods until today so either the others don't know or they haven't told me yet."
"I wan't you to talk to them about it."
Lucy jumped off of the desk and leaned against it. "Anything else you want to talk about or is that it?"
"Your tattoo that's on your waist, can I see it?"
"Umm sure." She lifted the side of her top so he could see most of it.
He reached out and trailed one of the lines that made up the pattern, "I remember it now, seeing this when I went to the island the first time."
Lucy blushed and squirmed away from him, lowering her top she looked up at him. "How would you remember, I thought I removed that memory from you."
"Gira told me about what happened when I got back, didn't you notice me talking to him when I got here?"
Lucy walked around him and stood by the door. "No, I was too focused on keeping Natsu off of Jam."
She opened the door and was walking out when Laxus grabbed her hand, he spun her round into a hug. "Thank you for saving me when I got poisoned before."
"You've already thanked me for that."
"I feel like I hadn't thanked you enough."
Lucy loosened herself and hugged him back, she looked up at him, "Don't worry about it, I know that if you were me, you would have had done the same thing." She pulled away and walked out of the room. She looked back to see Laxus closing the door and locking himself in.
Once she got to the bar, she realized that Mira wasn't there. She was probably in the infirmary. Lucy walked around the bar and grabbed a cup, switching on the hot water, she began to make herself a hot chocolate. Natsu sat down across the bar on one of the stools.
"So what did sparky want?" He looked up at the now closed door.
"He's just worried for my saftey and wanted to talk about the gods." Natsu nodded and looked at her cup. "Hot chocolate, you want one?"
"Sure, thanks Lucy. I'm probably going to leave soon, want me to walk you home?"
"I'm staying here for the night. They're expecting another attack so all the gods are staying."
"Oh, well I'll probably see you tomorrow then." He grabbed his drink and sculled it down. He raised his hand in goodbye and walked out of the hall.
Lucy grabbed her drink and walked upstairs, Nasha was up now.
"Hey Lucy." She was on her back, her head hanging off the bed.
"Oh hey Nash." She walked over to her and sat down, "So what's it like without me for a day?"
"Boooooring, the boys didn't want to do anything fun. Before the twins turned up, they were helping out the injured people and I just had to sit there and watch."
"I was stuck with Natsu and Laxus for the day, I had the opposite problem."
Nasha sat up in her bed, "You need to tell me more about that tomorrow but at the moment it's..." She shifted her body so she could see the clock at the other side of the room, "One in the morning and you need to be ready to train."
Lucy got up and jumped onto the closest clean bed, the lights went out but she could still see the others, Gira was walking to his bed and Ian was already asleep. Afza was next to him and Jamaga was nowhere to be seen. She turned around so she was facing the wall and went to sleep.
"Lucy, Lucy wake up." Somebody was shaking her, their strong hands gripped onto her shoulders.
She looked up to see pink hair, "N-Natsu, what are you doing here. What time is it?"
"Two in the morning and I'm here because there was somebody in your apartment."
Quickly sitting up she flung her blankets off of the bed.
"He's not there anymore but I think it was a god, there was no scent but he seemed to have a large amount of magic."
Lucy looked around, everybody was there apart from Jamaga. She shook her head, it couldn't be him, he has no reason to be there. Maybe it was Crius or Dike, that would be even worse.
She faced Natsu with wide eyes.
"What is it Lucy?"
"There's somebody behind you."
Writing this, I came up with an idea for the story but I don't know if it will be in the next chapter or the one after. I really want to write it before I forget it so hopefully I'll get there soon :)
Don't forget your shippings Lalu is winning so he got the good part in this chapter. Review what one you want or just comment what you want to happen.
Try to guess who's behind Natsu :P
