Chapter 11
Natsu punch Kageyama as he dodge it in time when he started to summon his shadows assaulting Natsu. Natsu dodge swiftly not making contact with his shadows as he lit his fist on fire pouncing on him with all his might.
"FIRE DRAGON IRON FIST!!" Making Kageyama fall on his back feeling his fist connected to him causing him to lose concious.
"Dammit!! Where are you Lucy?!" He cursed with himself for going overboard as he look at Kageyama unconcious state.
"Well better take you with me then.". . . .
With Gray
"I hope thats the last of em. . . ." Panting heavily as he swipe a sweat on his forehead when he felt someone presence causing him to whip his head to turn to look behind him causing him to let a breath of relief as he saw Erza holding her sword to support her from falling.
"Erza!!" He hurriedly help her to stand holding on her waist with her arms on his shoulder.
"You should take it easy there you know." Gray scolded her causing her to laugh him off as they look around to find their favourite golden girl.
"So much for asking. . . Got any clue?" Gray ask as both of them walk around trying to find Lucy while asking questions. Well more like beating than asking though.
"No, they don't even want to cooperate with me. . ." Erza sigh when a voice stop them on their track.
"Hell!! You guys sure take a lot of beating there." Natsu appeared with Kageyama as he slide Kageyama down on the floor of the entrance station. Erza chuckled at his comment while Gray rolled his eyes as he scoffed at his state.
"Of course, who you think we are?" Gray said making Natsu glared at him crossing his arms on his chest with a pout on his face.
"I wasn't talking to you, Ice prick. . " Natsu said causing Gray to have a tick mark on his head.
"Oh really? For you information I have beat more guys than you do." Gray said hitting a nerve inside Natsu.
"You wanna go there, Frost breath?" Natsu said lowly as they closed their distance with their forehead bumping into each other.
"What about you, Lava brain?" Gray said as he felt irritated every second feeling his presence.
"Yo -" "It seems you got through my underlings." A voice causing them three to look up seeing Erigor hovering in mid air cross-legged with a scyth on his shoulder.
"Well, time for my departure then, oh , here's a gift for you as a farewell gift." Suddenly a whirlwind appeared surrounding the station.
"Dammit!!" Natsu tried to jump through the whirlwind causing him to fly back to the station wall.
"NATSU!!" Erza shouted as both of them ran towards his injured body.
"Shit!! That hurts Dammit!!!" He cursed to himself as he glared at the wild wind.
"Geez, be careful Hothead, you could've killed yourself with that." Gray scolded to him as Natsu tried to stand but failed miserably causing him to sit on the wall.
"And we haven't found Lucy yet. . . " Natsu said between his hisses fighting against the pain.
"Damn!! Where is Happy anyway?" Erza asked as she look around to find the blue furball.
With Happy and Lucy*
Happy hovered in front of Lucy as he look around fearing for the enemy to find them when suddenly they heard a loud yelling outside of the station and a wild wind appeared outside the station causing Happy and Lucy to look at each other with worried gaze as they both run their way towards the exit.
"Lucy, I'm gonna fly higher to find the others while you stay here and wait for me to come back okay?" Happy ask earning a nod from her as he flew to the sky and Lucy waited for him there.
"Use your magic . . . . . " A faint voice was heard as Lucy look around her to find the owner of the voice. Somehow she felt familiar. She could feel the voice wasn't bad but warm and friendly.
"Use the power inside you Lucy. . . ".
"How do I do that?"
"Use your voice Lucy, express your feelings through your voice. . . "
"My feelings?"...
"How do you feel for your friends?". . .
"I felt. . . . Loved by my friends . . . Its felt . . Right where I belong like a. . . . . family. . "
"Then do what you can to help your family. . . .""Yes I know what to do now. . . . Thank you. . . . " Lucy smiled feeling thankful for the voice guidance as she felt inside her heart reaching out to her feelings.
"Lucy!!! I know where they are , hurry!!" Happy said as she followed him leading the way outside the station. When they arrived Lucy felt her heart shattered to million pieces. She couldn't believe her eyes as she saw her friends in their state. Erza weaken state, Gray bruised body and Natsu have cuts everywhere on his body.
"Are you guys alright?" Lucy hurriedly went beside them as she look at them with sorrow.
"LUCY!!" The three of them shouted as the let out their breath of relief with thankful smile on their faces.
"You sure got us worried there." Gray scolded with warm smile making Lucy return the gesture.
"I'm fine, Happys with me. . ." Hugging Happy when he's next to her making the boys jealous of the cute little blue feline 'Lucky cat' thinking at the same time glaring at Happy.
"We're fine Lucy, don't worry. After all we are Fairy Tail mages." Erza said proudly making Lucy smiled to her enthusiasm.
Lucy look around their surrounding as she could see the wind surrounding their area. She look behind them and saw the bad man from earlier at the train lying unconcious behind them.
"Is he okay??" Lucy asked as she pointed towards the guy behind them causing them all to turn their head to look at Kageyama as they heard a groan from him, as he started to wake up holding his ached head.
"Are you-" "Don't go near him Lucy, he might hurt you".Natsu stop her helding out his hand in front of her stopping her mid track.
"Its alright. . . . I will be fine. . . " Lucy said looking at each of her friends eyes with a smile that reach to their heart making them smiled back to her. Natsu lowered is arms as Lucy slowly walk towards Kageyama. she kneeled next to him causing him to look at her with a suprised and awed look at his face.
"Are you hurt?" Lucy smiled making him blush when she put her soft and smooth skin of her palm on hos forehead while tilting her head a bit which he thought she looks cute.
"I-I-I. . . . I'm fine. . . . " Kageyama said to her avoiding her eyes making her smiled at his protest.
"That's good. ." Lucy said as she stood and turn facing her friends. She look at the fierce wind making her look at them with worried gaze.
"What do we do now?" Lucy asked to her friends causing them to thought for a minute looking for a solution towards their problem.
"We tried everything we could but its hard to make the wind stop with magic. Even Natsu hear dumb enough to just jump in." Erza explained to her. Happy ears drop hearing this as he said to himself catching everyones attention.
"Is there no hope for us?".
All of them bowed their head except Kageyama as they felt what Happy felt in his current state.
'Use the voice inside you. . . ' Lucy look at the wind she heard her in her mind She smiled thankful to the voice as murmuring a silent ' Thank you' towards the unknown voice inside her head.
Lucy took a step forward and another causing her friends and Kageyama to look at her strangely finding her behaviour rather odd than normal.
" Lucy??" Gray called to her only got ignored by his calling. They watch as she come closer and closer to the wind.
"Hey you, it's dangerous!!" Kageyama warned to her but to no avail. Erza glared at him as she grab him by the collar meeting his eyes.
"What is your master plan??" She asked half shout half growled at him making him squirm under her fierce deathly glare.
"Tell me!!" Erza raise her voice once again making him jerk back by her, and starting to feel scared towards the red haired woman.
"He intends to use the Lullaby at Clover town. All the guildmaster held a meeting there and so he want to get revenge on them." Kageyama said quickly causing Erza to release him with a shocked look on her face.
"Tell me how to stop this??!!" Natsu turn to asked doing the same thing with him while gritting his teeth together.
"TELL ME!!??" Natsu being the little impatient as he saw the guy shook his head to him. Natsu could see him trembling in fear as he let go of him causing him to fall backwards on his butt. Unknown to them, Lucy became closer and closer to wind as they heard Happy shouted her name causing them all to look at her. Their heart immidiately stop seeing her a few feet away from the wind.
Natsu couldn't wait more as he sprint towards her just hoping he could be there to save her from being shredded by the wind.
Once Lucy stop walking, she let her voice out as she sings her heart out stopping Natsu from his track. The others were awed by her voice feeling some kind of hope through the way she sings. Kageyama felt something warm in his heart as he hear her sings, when they look at Lucy they could see something different making them gaped at her.
Her body started to glow and her wings started to appear, with small golden shining orbs flying around her. When it landed on them, they felt their injury is healed and their magic restored.All the scars they got from fighting earlier seems to be vanished.
"Ho - " Erza murmured to herself leaving Gray speechless inspecting every injury on his and their body that were now gone.
"Look!! The wind is stopping. . ." Happy said pointing his paw towards the fierce wind. It getting slower and slower and suddenly cleared making the town normal again.
Lucy stop singing as she turn to normal with only her wings on her back. She look around and see the wind is nowhere in sight. She smiled turn to her friends as they smiled back at her.
"I did it!!" Lucy said happily when Happy hugged her with the others congratulate her on her good work. Gray patted her head, Erza nodded approvingly and Natsu hugging her as he jump her around with a grin on his face. Kageyama look from afar feeling a bit jealous on their interaction. When do he felt happy in his time with the guild? When is it he have friends like them? He didn't know when is the last time he have friends? And then it hit him with realizations that he was alone in this world with no one by his side.
"Are you sad?" A voice startled him as he look up to see a pair of the most beautiful brown eyes as it shine in daylight. He avoided her gaze as he lowered his head when she started to spoke again.
"Everyone doesn't deserve to be lonely anymore. . They deserve to be happy with their friends and family even though they are good and bad people but I think everyone deserve a second chance in life to do good for themselves and others as well." Lucy smiled to him tilting her head to the side.
"Do you want to be my friend?" He's eyes wide as he felt his eyes began tu blur when few drops of tear fall down on his hand. That sentence shocked him. No one has ever treat him nice before. He felt useless now knowing he hurt her but still she was nice to him.
"I'm. . . . . sorry. . " He bowed to the ground seeking forgiveness for the girl.
"I'm. . truly sorry. . ." He said between his sobs feeling ashamed to face her now.
"Its alright there. . We for give ya there buddy. . " Natsu said resting his hand on his shoulder.
"We need to hurry and catch up with Erigor, he's heading to Clover town." Gray said to them with now on his pants.
"Clover town?" Lucy asked as she scoop up Happy between her arms.
"Yes, he's going to kill all of the guildmasters" Erza announced making them gasped at this statement.
"I will help you." Kageyama said unexpected to them causing all of them nod in appreciation, well except for Lucy who only smiled at this.
"Let's go!!". Erza ordered as they went to Clover town with the others hoping they could make it in time.
