Chapter 11

(Lucy's POV)

It's been a few months now. There has been decent progress in getting them stronger but I don't think it's anything that big. I was hoping that I was going to get to partake in the GMG's but the magic council has called me and Ryker away for a job. That will cause us to be away for the GMG's.

"I was hoping that I'd get to see what the GMG's were all about for once." I sobbed. "Oh stop we'll try next year." Ryker huffed.

"What was the job anyways?" Bolt asked. "It's to take out this large dangerous creature stupid... Stop zoning out." Silver hissed snaking him up side the head. "It could be one of Infr's by the sounds of it. Or Zeref's. It's very unlikely to be normal." I sighed.

Then a call came through on the Lycrima vison. "Luciella! Ryker! Silver! Bolt! We believe that one of Infr's minors is attack a town." Sky told use. "Where is it?" Silver asked. "Blue rock village." He answered.

"We're already heading there so that works out. It could be the same mission even." Ryker exclaimed. "Yes it could be it say that it's not just the large beast there are many others that seem to keep coming. So it is very likely the same." I exclaimed.

"Let's hurry then. Luciella will you please?" Silver asked. "Certainly." I answered opening up a portal for us to walk though to get their quickly.

Stepping out in the other side we where outside of the town so we headed towards the requesters place.

"It's the mayor of this town that we are to go talk to." I sighed. "So that means don't be rude... Bolt I mean you." Silver sighed. "Hey! What about Ryker!" Bolt hissed. "Ryker knows the proper way to present himself in front of people when it's needed. We don't trust you for that." I sighed which cause him to pout.

Silver knocked on the door and a fancy man opened it. "Are you the people that the council sent? I thought there was only going to be two?" He asked. "Yes that is us, but these two are our retainers they follow us every where but don't worry the more hands the better after all." Ryker answered. "Alright well come on in then and I will tell you what has been happening." He sighed taking us to a sitting room.

"For the last few weeks some beast have come to the town attacking. Thinking it was just like normal our fighters and hunters went out to kill them. It wasn't like we expected so we've been calling in for guilds but recently a large very strong beast has appeared attacking the villages with smaller beasts, it's much stronger but is seems to have an odd ability of regeneration and multiplication so what was originally one large beast it is know two or three large beasts. But they also only appear at night as well so for the time being rest and relax. You can stay here till the job is done." He told us.

He took us to our room. I just flopped down on a bed. "What do you think?" Ryker asked. "It probably is one of Infr's beasts did have a tendency to do that which is what made them so difficult. You may have to use more power than you originally plan if it has fast replication like they suggested for those are the more difficult ones to defeat." Silver answered.

"You have more power then us when your in human form so you two will be able to defeat them better than us." Bolt sighed which was quick different from his usually hot head attitude.

This is serious and he knows that. That's why his tone, and attitude has change for it means that Infr's force are defiantly free from the seal or at least some of them are just which ones. I muttered.

Time skip

Me and Silver stood at the front entrance of the village waiting as the sunset. It didn't take long till I could sense something coming. "Here they come. Ryker Bolt get ready they are coming this way but be on guard they may come from the other direction so watch out back." I told them through the Lycrima vision.

"Open! Gate of Dual spears! Gáe Buide and Gáe Derg!" I chanted as the spears appeared in front of me I grabbed them.

"Ready?" I asked. "Always my queen." Silver answered I then tosed her Gáe Derg."Use this as a weapon." I told her as I could see some beasts

appear from the distance.

They came in large numbers. When they got a certain distance from town about 5km I jumped to action and attacked. Slashing with the one spear I was taking out many at once. Stabbing and slashing but eventually, even the numbers were too big, Silver jumped in and smacked those coming at me away.

"This is quiet a few ain't it?" Silver asked. "For sure. But lets not use our special magic yet if it truely is one of Infr's it would be better if our presence is not know till later. So use normal Earthland magic till then if you want to." I told her. "Alright." She agreed.

"Open! Gates of the Hunting Dogs, Greater Dog, Dragon, Wolf, Hero, Lion, Bull, and Maiden! Canes Venatici, Canis Major, Draco, Lupus, Perseus, Loke, Taurus, and Virgo!" I chanted. "We need your help will you please aid us to defend this town," I asked. "Of course Princess/Queen/Lucy/m'lady." They all replied.

"Taurus. It's Luciella now not Lucy, please don't make that mistake if I ever summon you in front of Fairy Tail from this point." I sighed. "Right sorry Miss Luciella," Taurus exclaimed. "No worries now let's fight! Now Taurus!" I exclaimed. "Right!" He answered. "Star dress Taurus!" I called my clothing changed and I got the power of Taurus.

All of us fight were taking out a lot of the beast but it didn't seem to have an end to them.

"Luciella they come and started to attack on the south side we have to go over and fight." Ryker exclaimed on the Lycrima vison. "That's alright Ryker. You and Bolt just take care of things over there." I replied.

We were fighting hard after 4 hours I lost Canes Venatici, Canis Major, Draco, and Lupus. Silver was having some trouble as well. "Silver take a break for a bit I can hold them back to give you time to rest." I huffed. "I'm fine mistress don't worry about me." She told me.

"Perseus! Look out!" I exclaimed. "What?! Urk- sorry m'lady I have to go back for now." Perseus apologized before he disappeared.

"Virgo please make some pit falls to get rid of some of them. Loke please blind them." I sighed. "Alright princess." They answered.

After 6 hours my spirits were defiantly getting tired it's been non-stop. "Loke, Virgo, Taurus! Go back for now and rest up till I need you aid again." I exclaimed. "But we can still fight." Loke told me. "Yes but I may need your help again soon. So rest up till then." I answered before force closing their gates.

"This is getting crazy!" I growled before performing a large slash taking out about 30 beasts. I rushed forward and went to look for the large beast. It was all for not though, for the sun came up before I could find it. We took out the stragglers before the others ran away.

We choose to regroup at the mayor's place. "You didn't say anything about this large number's. We need to change to plan of attack with those numbers." I exclaimed. "Yes I appologzie but it's seems that they tend to multiply as time goes on and more fights happened as well." The Mayor told us.

"We have to change the plan then. The Beast tend to gather in the forest near here correct?" Ryker asked. "Yes." The Mayor answered.

"Do you think you would be able to hold out if they attack if we go went to attack them in the forest and none of use where left to defend?" I asked. "Not likely many of our warriors are still in bad shape they could help but not hold them off for too long." The mayor told me.

"Alright Silver and Bolt. You stay here me and Ryker will go into the forest to finish this but it may take some time since we need to find the den." I told them.

"But-" Ryker cut Silver off. "She's right Silver we are the strongest plus it allows you two to rest we will take care of it. Let's go Luciella." He explained. "Coming!" I replied following after Ryker as we left the Mayor's place to the forest.

The forest was big and deep. There was a lot of places. Time to time we would run into a beast or two killing it to pervent it from informing the others.

It felt hopeless at some point but we struck luck when we followed back some returning beast. We found the den.

"Let's attack at night it will give us cover with the darkness and we can thin them out when the large group of them are gone." I whispered.

"Good idea. We should stay stealthy taking out as many as we can before we could get found, maybe even taking out a big one or two." Ryker whispered in my ear. I nodded knowing what he was getting at.

We rested till it was night then we could actually begin. We watched as a large group left and waited till they were far enough away before we started. "Class form. Stealth." We chanted quietly changing forms into our stealth form, we were assassin in this form blending in, and kill with percussion. We both wore hoods besides these hidden blades we used that was the only similarities between us.

"You take one half I'll take the other." Ryker whispered I nodded before going off.

I snuck in to each place and would quickly kill the beast within the place. It was going perfectly till...

"Who are?!" A voice questioned I froze in place. Shit. I hissed. "What the-? Are you here to stop what ever is going on?" They asked I nodded. "Great!" They sighed. "The leader was taken over or something or the hold place was but it cause everyone to act wierd." They exclaimed walking out.

"Could you please help? If you half to kill the leader if that is the only why. But recently the leader has been showing odd abilities like me... But different he grew, could regenerate, make more of us, and there are now more then one of him." They told me. "Please do not inform them we are here then." I told them before walking off.

"Ryker stoping killing we got it wrong. We need to converge on the leader." I whispered. "Yeah I just heard that as well appearently the leader started attacking weird took over the beast clans in the forest, and has gained some odd powers before they begun attacking humans." He replied. "I'll meet you at the leaders then" I sighed. "Right seen you there." He answered.

I hurried over to the leader's place and I saw a large or 2 large beast there. "One of them has to be the real one." Ryker muttered he was right behind me all of a sudden.

"Yes let's get to work. You get one I'll take the other. Remember the spell." I asked. "Yeah course." He huffed. I put my hand down on the beasts side.

"Beast allow me to release you from this dark evil spirit. Allow my light to guide you and expel the dark force within you. Purifying aura." I chanted. Ryker chanted the exact same thing and the beast let out a howl of pain as the spell coursed through them.

I took a few minutes before the dark spirit was expelled. "Quickly destroy the spirit Luciella." Ryker told me I have a quick nod before jumping up and slashing up the dark spirit and releasing a bright light and crushed it in my hand to be sure. We were surprised to find that both were real.

They didn't remember much of what happened. Though it help that we had a few beast to clear it up. To express their thanks for want we did.

"Thank you so much for you help miss." A human kind of beast thanked me. "No problem." I answered. "Don't worry I am a beast. I can transform into human and speak your language I'm really just an outcast of my pack though." They sighed.

"What's your name?" I asked. "In your language I just go by Mia." They answered. "Mia your a female then." I asked. "Yep." She answered.

"Luciella can I talk with you for a bit?" Ryker asked. "Sure." I answered coming with him. "I think this was a good success. We should head back though Silver and Bolt may be getting worried it has almost been a month since then." Ryker told me. "Your right we should defantly head back." I agreed.

We said good-byes to the beast told them to lie low and don't attack the humans in town before leaving. We changed back after we got far enough away from the pack.

It didn't take to long to get back to town. Silver and Bolt were not happy with us for sure. We got the reward then headed back to town this time by train dispite the protest.

"I'm sorry but I don't have enough energy to do that nor do you so stop arguing. We need to get back to the guild and find out how the GMG's went." I huffed. "But you know my problem with transportation!" Ryker sobbed.

"Yes I know Bolt doesn't like it too much ether but he handles it fine er- better then you." I exclaimed. "Their is a difference." Ryker exclaimed. "Sure." I sighed pulling Ryker and Bolt onto the train.

It was a 2 hour trian ride Ryker was dead in the first 45 minutes and Bolt was dead after the first hour of the ride giving me and Silver some quiet.

"We'll have to return home for a bit to see how everything is and see if we can get the Lycrima vison upgraded. Then we can rest for sometime before we need to do anything at least." I sighed.

"Yeah that's a good idea. Have you noticed that we are being tailed." Silver asked looking out the window. "Oh yeah. I noticed they been following for awhile now." I answered.

"Next stop Magnolia."

"Silver grab Bolt I got Ryker." I sighed walking over to the dead Ryker threw him over my shoulder Silver did the same with Bolt but with some difficulty.

When we got on the train plat form we dropped them to the ground then grabbed our bags. But they still weren't up yet so I grabbed so water the dumped it on them.

"*cough* What the hell! Wait I am alive!" Ryker exclaimed jumping up and running around a little till I slammed his suit case into his chest.

Bolt was the same way well expect less, running around and exaggeration. We headed home dropping out things off then went to the guild hall.

"We're back!" I exclaimed opening the door. "Welcome back how was your mission?" Romeo asked. "It was good took sometime though but it made sense why the councle asked us to complete this mission it was not simple." Ryker answered.

"But we completed it! How did you guys do in the GMG's" Bolt asked. "Well we did better than we did last year we got 6th place at least so it was two ranks higher thanks to your training." Jet exclaimed. "Good job." Silver exclaimed. "Next year how about we join?" I asked the others. "Yeah for sure it will be interesting." Ryker agreed.

"Actually we have to go some were but we'll be back soon." Silver exclaimed pulling me out of the guild. "You know I can walk!" I hissed. "Yeah now open a portal I want to get home." Bolt sighed.

"Fine fine." I huffed as I opened a portal and the four of us walked through. We appeared not that far from the castle.

As we got close to the castle we were greeted by some guards. We went inside and was greeted by mine and Ryker's Aunts and Uncle's.

"It's nice to see you four." Sky sighed. "Yes as well Bolt would like to work with Thunder for a bit. The rest of us came to talk with you all for a bit. I also came to get a book as well." I told them as I handed my Lycrima vison's to Bolt like the others before he rushed off.

"So how have you been?" Celestial asked. "Fine things are going well. You guys need to come to our place sometimes it's probably all dusty but it's really big that you could stay over a night if you wanted." I told them.

"I wish we could stay longer than just a quick visit and tune up of the fear but we have things to do back on Earthland." Ryker sighed. "Me too I miss you guys and Bolt did too, not like he'll admit it though." Silver sighed.

"I get it but we need to make sure we keep watch and having us in Earthland will give the army time to get ready and back us up also learn the terrain to be able to fight. But..."

"I miss home too but I want to protect it more than we can by staying here, times different here than over there if at least someones there if he suddenly attacks someone can hold him off till everyone get there. Do you not think its hard for me to be there after what happened? We need to strengthen the weakest link in our plan so that's why I stay there. I'd rather destroy the guild and any memmory of that place but I can't, it's stupid destroying links that can be useful in any way... Even if I'm there a lot I can never stay there... I be long here. Besides once we take care of things it will all be over."

"Hey don't talk like that Luciella."

"Sigh... I know, I shouldn't, after all, I'm the goddess that represents light resentment such as this is not something I should take too...

It was great seeing you but I'm going back to walk please call me when ever you need me or just need to talk. I'll hopefully see the rest of you at home." I sighed turning around opening a portal and leaving again before I wouldn't want to leave home again.
