Chapter 11

The group of teens strode down the wide hallways of DWMA. Maka and Wendy were enjoying each others company. Gray, who was shirtless, Liz, and Soul were becoming the best of friends. Natsu and Black Star were arguing about who had the weirder hair color, while Patti instigated. Tsubaki and Lucy were being "fixed" by Kid. All the while, Happy was trying to get Charla to accept his fish.

Maka, who was leading the group, came to a halt. "Classes are over..." Soul and Black Star cheered. "...so now I can show you guys your new classroom. "

One by one they stepped through the door. What was normal to the students seemed like a luxury to the mages. None of them had ever gone to school (even Lucy, who had been tutored at home), and the escalating desks and seats seemed so grand to them.

"This is the EAT classroom, for the advanced students, which includes us." Tsubaki said. "Later on, we'll show you the NOT class, for beginner meisters and weapons."

"I have some friends in the NOT class I think you'll like, Wendy," Maka started. "Would you like to meet them?"

"Yes!" Wendy exclaimed. "I would like that very much!"

Natsu ran up the stairs of the desks as Happy flew next to him. He grinned. "This is gonna be fun! Right, Happy?"

"Aye!"

"Hey!" said Liz, everyone giving her their undivided attention. "Can you guys, like, show us your magic? I wanna see what non-evil magic looks like."

"Me too! Me too!" Patti said.

Kid looked at Lucy. "Is it okay with you?" Lucy smiled at his concern.

"Yeah! Seems like fun!"

"Alright!" Natsu shouted as he took a huge leap. "Let's go Happy!"

"Aye, sir!" Happy grabbed onto Natsu's vest, and flew over the others' heads.

"Let the demonstration...BEGIN!" Erza shouted as she requiped into her Flame Empress Armor.

Blood dripped from the boy's noses as fire exploded from Erza's sword and shot towards the roof. Before it could make contact, however, it was gobbled up by Natsu. The students stared in shock and slight fear.

"Roar of the Fire Dragon!" Fire exploded from Natsu's mouth towards the students. "Ah crap!"

"I got it!" Wendy, carried by Charla, shuffled in front of the young meisters and weapons. "Roar of the Sky Dragon!" The fire switched it's direction towards Gray.

"Finally!" Gray took a stance. "Ice Make:Cannon!" The ice clashed with the fire, and they canceled each other out, resulting in an explosion of mist and ice particles.

"My turn!" Lucy pulled out a key."Open! Gate of the Ram: Aries!" In a puff of smoke, Aries stood, ready to carry out her unspoken instructions.

"Wool Bombs!" The ice attached to the small clumps of pink wool, making them seem like tiny, sparkly, little ornaments. The students each grabbed one of the many floating clouds.

"So fluffy!" said Patti.

"Let me see if I still remember how to do this..." said Lucy, as she took in a deep breath.

'Take in all of your surroundings, Lucy.'

Lucy closed her eyes.

'Feel the stars' guiding lights in every one of your cells.'

Lucy exhaled.

'Feel the warmth of each spirit as you draw your breath.'

She slowly raised her arms. "What's she doing?" asked Black Star, which earned him multiple slaps to the head.

'Hear the voices of every being that is unseen to the eye.'

She tightened her fists.

'Now Lucy...'

She drew in a sharp breath.

'ROAR!'

"Celestial Dragon's Roar!" Lucy shouted. A gold and blue light, similar to that of her whip, erupted from Lucy's mouth. Multiple tiny, star-like particles gently rained down on the students. There seemed to be no limit to her magic power. And her roar...was that of a real dragon.

When Lucy finally stopped, there was a frightful look on her face, one that mainly consisted of shock.

'What just happened?!' Lucy thought.

The others' silence, stares, and the distance that had been put between them and Lucy during her little "out-burst", just made her more worried than she should have been. Natsu was the first to close his gaping mouth and walk towards Lucy, while Happy flew over-head. Gray and Erza moved towards their comrades as the students followed. Natsu ruffled Lucy's hair, and grinned a mad man's grin.

"Way to go Luce!" Natsu said. Kid swatted his hand away, and proceeded to fix Lucy's hair. He then looked her in he eyes.

"Indeed. Good job Lu." Kid smiled (while he fixed her clothes).

"So cool." Soul, Liz, and Gray said in unison. They then proceeded to triple fist bump.

"That was so cool, Lucy!" said Wendy.

"It really was, Lucy-san!" smiled Tsubaki.

"FIGHT ME!" said the idio-Black Star.

"Whee~!" yelled Patti.

"As expected." said Charla. Black Star was ignored.

"Indeed." nodded Erza.

"Aye! Lucy's a Fairy Tail mage after all," sad Happy, lifting one paw in an as-a-matter-of-fact way.

Lucy's face broke into a huge grin as her tears threatened to fall.

"Ummm...sorry to ruin the moment," started Maka."But what's going on?"

The star-like particles from Lucy's roar were trembling and began to gather to one location. They stuck together and formed a crystalized sphere.

"A lacrima!" said Erza.

The lacrima ascended and hovered in the air. It remained this position for good while.

"Uh, so, like, should we shoot it down?" asked Liz.

"Yeah, yeah! C'mon lets do it! Let's GOOOO!" said Patti way too enthusiastically.

"Wait," said Erza, "let's watch what it does first."

"Boo~" Patti pouted.

"But this thing came from Lucy," said Happy, "so it shouldn't attack us."

Suddenly, the lacrima darted towards the direction of one of the large, opened windows.

"Let's go!" Erza shouted. "Make sure not to loose sight of it!" She transformed into her Black Wing Armor.

"Right!" they responded in unison.

Tsubaki transformed into Chain Scythe mode, and her and Black Star were out the classroom, followed by Erza.

Gray made a ramp with his Maker Magic, and used his ice as footing to allow him to follow after the lacrima at a great speed.

Before anyone noticed, Kid summoned his skateboard, and Liz and Patti had transformed into twin guns, and they went outside.

Charla grabbed Wendy and the flew outside also.

Happy grabbed Lucy, while Natsu summoned flames from his feet, and used it to propel him.

"This is like a game of tag!" Natsu said.

"Aye!" responded Happy. Lucy merely rolled her eyes.

She didn't know why, but she felt that the lacrima's appearance was very significant. This, however, made her more confused. Just what was the purpose of that lacrima forming?

What they all somehow failed to notice, however, was the large hole in the ceiling created by Lucy's roar.

I sincerely apologize for the long wait. School is so trifling...even though I was a horrible updater before school started.

Please continue to support my irresponsible and problematic self. I really appreciate it! :)
