Hey guys chapter 10 is kind of short, this is about what happened previously and there is some things that are good to know and the other half is chapter 10.
(PLEASE READ SO YOU KNOW THE STORY BETTER INCASE IF YOU FORGOT SOME DETAILS AND THERE IS ALSO MORE INFO SO YOU HAVE A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF WHATS GOING ON) Previously on Ruler of the stars:
Before the mission Team Natsu meet at Lucy's to plan. Natsu and Gray fight and Erza joins in after her strawberry cake was ruined. Things were being destroyed and Lucy kicks them out using new magic. As Lucy cleans, Natsu and Gray begin fighting. They stop fighting when Natsu hears a thud, but soon after they ignore it and go to get food.
Lucy collapsed at her door. Lucy was in a flashback and sees her mum talking to her personal butler Kashuto, about going with the dragons and Lucy's powers being sealed.
Team Natsu came back and thought Lucy cleaned up, fixing everything and went to sleep. Lucy said she collapsed and she looked out the window. Seeing Kashuto, Lucy jumped out and team Natsu followed after her. Then she used magic to create chains to stop Kashuto from running.
kashuto explained to Lucy and the others about Lucy's true powers that are sealed and the seal is being removed forcefully. Kashuto, aka Kashu told the team about dragons and Layla being the one to keep them at bay. Natsu was ecstatic about the dragons and kissed Lucy.
When Kashu and Lucy were alone after Gray was chased by Natsu and Erza went to confess to Jellal, Kashu explained Layla being apart of the guardians of tomorrow and he was to keep Layla safe, also being a close friend. Lucy has a flashback of her hugging Zeref and calming his magic in the process. Everything became alive again from the amount of power Lucy had. The special magic is believed to be 'Love'. Lucy did an act of love when she hugged Zeref and helped contain the dark magic.
The next day Team Natsu along with Juvia and Jellal, went on a mission to retrieve a powerful stone and help put the dark guild behind bars. Jellal came to be on this mission since there is a high classed dark Mage. During the first day of the mission they were attacked by Kyo. Kyo uses mind magic to make Lucy remember her dark memories so her magic can awaken and the seal can be removed sooner. It is now known that Lucy is Natsu's 'mate' which makes Natsu lose control and he uses dragon force. Someone uses gravity magic on the team and takes Kyo back.
Kashuto explains to the team what Lucy's memories would be about. Lucy was kidnapped and was about to be sacrificed. Until Lucy's powers went into climax and she incinerated everything around her. A blood covered Lucy was found on the sacrifice table and was surrounded by ash and rubble from the buildings. The journal showed pictures and news paper articles. Kashuto began telling the group about Zeref helping and the truth of what happened to Zeref 400 years ago. Lucy wakes and Kashuto takes his leave taking the journal with him.
Lucy tells the group that Zeref was cursed by a dark ancient power and ever since he didn't have a choice and had created all kinds of evil things. When they go to sleep, Lucy crys herself to sleep as she can feel the darkness returning after she saw the dark memories. before she goes to sleep she whispers "help me...Natsu." Natsu heard it but thought it was his imagination.
The team woke up to heavy rain and a thunderstorm rolling in. They pack up and leave. Lucy finds the vast tree and brings the group to it. She went into the tree and showed them that it was a barrier and that it was better weather on the other side. The group crossover through the barrier and have a picnic on top of the hill. An earthquake happens and Lucy looks down seeing 'A PUDDLE OF BLOOD' underneath her. Lucy falls into a weird tunnel/cave. The team go to get her but Lucy said she wasn't alone and a saber tooth appears.
Lucy notices the saber tooth tigers appearance is fading away and is fuzzy (just like when Loki was about to disappear when he couldn't return.)
The saber couldn't return due to the keys being locked away and in a barrier. Loki and Virgo take care of the saber whilst Lucy gets the keys and destroys all the barriers by turning them to dust. Juvia and Jellal are told about Lucy's powers and the seal she has that's being removed. Lucy returns with the keys and falls into a deep sleep.
The team are attacked and Loki looks after Lucy. Team Natsu knocked out the attackers and are faced with Juryoku Kira (gravity killer). Juryoku has that name because he kills people using dark gravity. He uses gravity shift once again and Loki returns to the spirit world from the impact of the gravity. Juryoku was ordered to receive them by Kurai who is the Lord and master. Team Natsu realised Juryoku was the one who retrieved Kyo and used gravity shift on them.
Juryoku takes them to a laboratory and Juvia gets an electrical shock since she escaped the anti magic cuffs. Lucy has a dream or vision of her being stabbed in the stomach and she tries to get to her loved ones. After screams were heard Lucy collapsed thinking she was too late. The heart monitor connected to Lucy goes at a fast rate and Juryoku tries to help her. Lucy wakes and disappears with Juryoku, only to reappear in between the cells and almost killing Juryoku with a dagger.
The team leave when Juryoku is unconscious and Lucy's heals Juvia by using the barriers energy to get rid of the electricity still in Juvia's system. Lucy creates a barrier and the group run for awhile until lucy stops. Lucy's magic is being drained and she lies to the group saying that someone is trying to break the barrier, which is why she is actually being drained. The group notice that Lucy is changing both physically and mentally, like she is becoming a dark Mage.
Loki and Natsu get into a heated argument. Natsu takes it too far and Lucy slaps him. Natsu tries to apologise to Lucy, but Lucy tells him to stay away and she walks ahead of the group. The barrier cracks and disappears. The group looked at Lucy when they heard a pained scream. Lucy stops when she feels an intense pain spreading through out her body. The team go to run to her but when they came near Juryoku used a gravity shift on them.
Lucy's body is covered with green glowing symbols and Lucy's dark side Katrina takes over. Katrina and Kurai engage in a battle. Meanwhile someone calls out for Titania/Erza. Erza is shocked to who it is along with everyone else.
Normal POV:
'Silence. I can't hear anything. How is he alive? I saw him die. He must be a fake.' Erza was thinking as hear ears were ringing. Jellal was waving his hand trying to get Erza's attention. Jellal was shocked himself along with Natsu, Gray and Juvia. Lucy's dark side Katrina was still fighting Kurai. What got Erza's attention back was Lucy being knocked into her, well everyone's attention. To be honest they all forgot for a moment from being in shock. Lucy groaned before she picked up the scythe and attacked Kurai again.
"It's nice to know you missed me, Erza." The man crossed his arms over his muscular chest.
"S-Simon?" Erza stuttered out and said his name like a question.
"Yes it's me, Erza." Simon smirked.
"How are you alive?" Jellal stood in front of Erza in a protective way.
"Kurai brought me back to life. He said to come with him and I'd see Erza once again. Even better I get-" Simon paused and put his arms down. "I get to kill you, Jellal!" Simon attacked Jellal. Jellal pushed Erza to Juvia and Gray stood in front of the two girls.
"Natsu, go help Lucy and try to get her back." Gray shouted to Natsu. Juvia comforted Erza who was going into shock. 'I loved Simon, but now I'm in love with Jellal. Kagura has her brother back now, but it's like this battle is going to be to death. I don't want any of them to die.' Erza thought and she could feel the tears falling from her left eye.
"Dark explosion" explosive dark balls was fired at Jellal. Jellal dodged it quickly and the explosive balls hit the wall behind.
Jellal closed his hands into fists leaving two fingers out "heavenly blast" he swiped backwards and a golden sphere hit Simon.
Natsu's POV
"Shit". Natsu cursed under his breath. 'How am I suppose to stop this.' I questioned myself. I was beginning to get really frustrated. I looked over to Jellal and Simon. How is Simon alive? I know this Kurai guy brought him back, but is it real? He seems to know Lucy and the chick Katrina that is taking control of Lucy. I turned back to Lucy's and kurai's battle. It was hard to keep up with how fast they are going.
I could finally see what was happening. It felt like it was in slow motion. They both made a hit.
They thrusted the blades into each other. Kurai and Lucy smirked coughing up blood. "Lucy!" I yelled. I felt useless, helpless. Like I couldn't do anything. They with-drawled the blades. Both panting heavy breaths.
Once again it was all to fast. "Shit" I cursed under my breath.
"Dark moment" Simon whispered? I barley heard but I could just pick it up with my dragon hearing. I turned quickly to Simon. He used this before at the tower of heavens. Everything went pitch black like that time at the tower.
I could hear everyone screaming before they all stopped. Soon after there was a thud. They collapsed. I went to go run to them but before I could a sharp pain hit the back of my neck and my consciousness slipped. "This can't be happening." I breathed out.
Katrina's POV:
Kurai's blade thrusted into me whilst my blade pierced him. We both smirked as we coughed up blood.
'This is my body you know!' Lucy said to me through our mind link.
'Shut up. I know what I am doing.' I replied. I moved once again. Kurai and I both had an inhuman speed. But it was to be expected. We've both lived for centuries. Immortal is what people thought we were. Our blades clashed and everything went pitch black.
'What is going on? I can't see anything' Lucy panicked.
'That Simon guy used dark moment.' I answered calmly.
'How can you be so calm? How can I be so calm? You took over my body and everyone I love is probably going to die because of you.' Lucy spoke fast.
'Lucy calm down. It will be alright' I said before I closed my eyes. I opened my eyes and could see everything.
'You have night vision. What the hell are you?' Lucy gasped.
'Wrong question sweetheart. The question is what are we?' I smirked.
'What?' Lucy breathed out.
I shut off our mind link that allows us to talk to each other. I watched as her friends collapsed one by one. The dragon boy was last to fall. Lucy's panic went into to overdrive. Making me frustrated.
"Come on Katrina, give up. Lucy belongs to me now." Kurai growled.
"Lucy doesn't belong to any of us. I'm just protecting her from a sick bastard." I gritted my teeth.
"Come on Katrina, we were in love once. What happened?" Kurai smirked.
"If I remember correctly, YOU KILLED ME!" I yelled in anger before lunging, the tip of my blade pointing at him. He smiled and counter attacked his blade grazing my shoulder.
'Katrina, calm down. When you engage in battle you have to be calm. Don't just attack recklessly. Watch his movements and learn when he goes in to attack and launch a preemptive strike. Preemptive strike is a counter attack if you didn't know.' Lucy started. 'Also be quick when you parry. Make sure your footing is in the right place, otherwise you won't have balance.' Lucy finished.
'Oh god. How can I be so stupid? Thanks for reminding me Lucy' I replied smiling.
'Thats alright. Regulate your breathing. It will help.' Lucy laughed quietly.
'You're pretty smart with this, how do you know sword fighting?' I laughed.
'My father made me take lessons, I thought it was unnecessary since he never let me leave our estate.' Lucy answered.
'I know the feeling. The mansion that's like a castle and your only friends are the maids, chefs and all the other workers.' I sighed.
'Tell me about it and the tight puffy dresses. The corset is so tight I thought my ribs would shatter into a million pieces.' Lucy groaned.
'True, I should concentrate now. As much as I am loving this bonding, I need to take care of Kurai.' I rolled my eyes.
I took a deep breath and watched kurai's movements. I parried with ease each strike.
'Preemptive strike when he strikes next. Get ready.' Lucy stated.
'Now!' We said in unison.
I parried before twisting my body. Leaving an opening for me to preemptive strike. I successfully thrusted my sword into his side, twisting the blade, making him fall to the ground.
"You've improved, you usually have a short temper and because of that I got to kill you." He groaned out.
"Well not this time Kurai." I smirked as I pulled my blade out from him.
"Next time I will take the win." Kurai laughed as Simon helped him up.
'Simon' Lucy sighed sadly as Kurai and Simon disappeared around the corner. As soon as they were gone the darkness lifted.
I sighed before turning around to see Lucy's unconscious friends. "Well what do we do now?" I asked to no one particular.
'Lucy, I'm going to let you have control of your own body again.' I told Lucy.
'Your not going to leave me, right?' Lucy asked a hint of sadness in her voice.
'Of course not. We've bonded so we can talk to each other through our mind link.' I smiled before letting Lucy take over her body again.
Lucy's POV:
'You still there Kat?' I asked worried as I looked at my hand and moved my fingers.
'I'm still here Luce.' Katrina said reassuringly. I sighed in relief and smiled.
"What do I do now? Everyone is unconscious." I mumbled to myself. I walked over and checked everyone's pulses.
'They are paralysed and most likely slipping into coma.' Katrina let out a frustrated sigh.
I pursed my lips into a straight thin line and combed through my hair with my fingers. Letting out a deep breath to calm myself down. I spotted the small brown chest that contained the celestial keys.
I got up and ran to the chest. I tried opening the chest but my fingers were shaking. Tears fell and I couldn't contain the sobs. I sat down and brought my knees to my chest. I don't know what to do. Everyone is unconscious and anything can happen. I won't be able to protect everyone. I let the tears fall out. It was the only thing I could do afterall. I was weak.
I grabbed the chest and hugged it. "I'm so sorry Mama." I whimpered. As tears fell onto the chest, a blinding light filled the cave. I closed my eyes from the piercing light. I felt a breeze on my bare arms. I opened my eyes and saw I was outside. The sky was pink and orange from the sun setting. The next thing I saw shocked me.
I saw a dragon fly above me. I was shocked. My mouth gaping widely.
"Close your mouth sweetheart , don't want you catching flies." A deep voice roared out. I turned around to find a red scaled dragon.
"W-who are y-y-you?" I stuttered. I looked around and saw that Natsu and the others were with me. Still unconscious.
"I'm Igneel."
Finished chapter 10, I'm going to start chapter 11 soon. Please follow, favourite and review.
