Chapter 12: Fight Against Acnologia

Already Lucy could see the half and full dragons of Dragons Breath preparing to fight wings sprouting and the few full dragons allowing their full forms to show, as they all knew that if they didn't join together to fight Acnologia today that there might not be a second chance. Lucy was happy to see that most of the members of Fairy Tail had listened and left she wouldn't have been able to clearly fight if any non slayer was left, and exceeds. The exceeds helping their slayers to fly forward as they all circled around Acnologia, a rainbow of scales showing in the sky as dragon force and other moods of attack were activated.

Grasping Laxus tighter Lucy flew into the air surprised at how easy it was to fly forward with the other mage considering how muscular he was. It would give the two of them a disadvantage to fight this way, but Lucy knew that if she tried to leave him behind that Laxus would go on a rampage. Besides once they were high enough up Lucy would be able to drop him and he would travel through the air with his lightning.

Acnologia looked a little bored at the roars that attacked him none of them even leaving a scratch on him. His eyes full of malice as his claws and roars attacked the ones who were attacking him, at the same time however there was a hint of pain in his eyes as if something was eating away at him. The closer Lucy got to Acnologia the more powerful she felt shocking her because of the pain she felt earlier, and it was only when Lucy allowed Laxus to teleport to land a hit on Acnologia's eye that she could see the black power swirling around her shocking her as she realized that she was pulling Acnologia's power away from him.

The moment Laxus was out of her grip however the pain came back tenfold and Lucy would have found herself plummeting to the ground if Dimitri hadn't flown up beneath her and caught her. Luca immediately catching Laxus was well before he could teleport away and brought him back towards her making the pain disappear once again. Yet for the brief moment that Lucy and Laxus had separated Acnologia had been able to cause four dragons and Gajeel to fall down to the ground, half dragons only getting there just in time to stop Lily and Gajeel from being seriously hurt.

It was as she felt her power becoming tenfold that Lucy realized something that she was certain would piss off her brothers, but she had a feeling there was no other way. The moment her blood and Acnologia's had mixed when they fought on Tenroujima had already sealed her fate as being the only one capable of defeating Acnologia. Yet she wouldn't be able to do it without Laxus by her side because otherwise the pain would become too unbearable.

"Luca, Dimitri, you two have to fall back so does everyone else," Lucy demanded as she grasped Laxus into her arms once again. All three males looking at her like she was insane, or at least she assumed that the two dragons were giving her that sort of look it was harder to tell on a dragon's face.

"Not happening Lu!" they stated together growling at her as the three of them dodged a roar from Acnologia. It was hard for Lucy to stay in the air after that roar the strength of it harder for her to fight since this was the first time she was flying under her own power.

Lucy just rolled her eyes at their protectiveness, "you have to. This fight is between me and Acnologia. None of your attacks our even harming him, I'm the only one who can do this! Besides I'll have Laxus with me, you guys just need to be here for support making sure that we can take a breather if we need it."

Not even giving them a chance to refute Lucy flew straight towards Acnologia unleashing a roar that resembled stars at the dark dragon. Watching as a small barely noticeable cut showed up right under his eye from where the power of her roar had hit him. The pain from the cut making Acnologia roar in pain as he turned his attention away from the green and red winged half-dragons he was fighting. His eyes showing recognition as he looked at Lucy with rage in his eyes as he made his way towards her his claws reaching out as if he was going to grab her and throw her out of the sky.

"YOU!" he exclaimed his voice echoing in anger his voice harsh as he spoke.

"Hmm what upset that I could hurt you, it's your own fault you know for attacking my family before you gave me the abilities to hurt you," Lucy said smirking as she summoned an arrow of light and sent the arrow piercing right into the dark dragon's eye.

She wasn't fast enough in flying out of his range however because the next instant Lucy felt his claws racking through her chest dangerously close to her heart. Blood pouring from the wound and she wondered how Acnologia had been able to avoid hitting Laxus, and if it was on purpose or because he couldn't see as well with just the one eye. Laxus roared as Lucy found herself tumbling out of the sky the wound making it hard for her to focus. Acnologia came charging at her his mouth opened as he prepared to truly roar with magic instead of just sound waves. Before he could unleash it however a large purely black dragon was in the way swallowing Acnologia's magic.

Recognizing her father even though this was the first time she had seen him in this form she was shocked that he could eat Acnologia's magic. Realizing that she was still hurtling towards the ground Lucy tried to force herself to fly, but the blood leaking from her wound was making her too weak. She almost thought she would end up reaching the ground until a smaller pink dragon flew underneath her catching her just before she reached the ground. The pink dragon smelled slightly familiar, but Lucy was in too much pain to pinpoint who the female dragon might be.

Laxus had moved on the dragons back so that he was now out of her arms and her head was in his lap, his eyes darting around as he probably looked for Wendy to heal her. Even with the pain Lucy couldn't find it in her to look away from her father who was currently locked claw in claw in Acnologia surprisingly he as well was able to injure the other dragon. A thought was nagging Lucy, but she couldn't pinpoint exactly what sort of epiphany she was on the verge of realizing.

"Oi who are you anyway?" Laxus asked the dragon who was flying them down towards the ground.

"Allison Dragon of the Rising Dawn, I am sorry about how I treated the both of you before. Luca explained everything to me, and my actions were completely out of line."

"Lucy!" a voice screamed as a blue and white blur came hurtling down to the ground to meet them. It was the fastest that Lucy had ever seen Charle fly and she smiled at Charle's slayer as the young girl started chanting the minute she was close enough. Not even waiting to get to the ground Charle was hovering with Wendy in her paws as the younger girl poured in as much of her power as she could to heal her.

Lucy could feel the wound pulling itself together and wondered just how strong Wendy was now to be able to heal her so quickly. She knew that despite being healed as quickly as she was that she would still end up feeling weak, but there was nothing she could do about that. The effects of the blood loss would affect her until her body naturally reproduced the amount of blood she had lost. Normally Lucy wouldn't even be thinking of jumping back into battle after receiving such an injury knowing that her weakened state would be a liability, but she had no other choice. The moment Wendy was done healing her she had to get back up there because despite the fact that her father was somehow able to injure Acnologia as well she was the one who had to defeat him. It wasn't revenge that made her believe it, but something inside her said she was the only one who would be able to kill the other dragon.

"Is she going to be okay Squirt?" worry colored Laxus voice.

"She should be fine after her body reproduces the blood. I would tell her that she needs to rest, but I don't think that's an option for anyone until that monster is killed. She shouldn't fly on her own however she'll be too weak to fly and attack him."

"Don't worry little one I'll fly her, it's the least I could do," Allison said her voice oddly warm as she spoke to Wendy and at the same time a little wistful.

"Just lean into me Blondie, I'll support you as you attack," Laxus whispered as Allison began to fly back towards Acnologia. It seemed that Wendy had healed her just in time because Lucy could see that her father was tiring from fighting Acnologia, and it made Lucy wonder just how long it had been since her father, any of the dragons really, had allowed themselves to be in their full forms.

Shaking her head Lucy let those thoughts fly out of her mind for the moment. Right now she had to focus on defeating Acnologia she could think of those things later on otherwise she would end up worrying way too much. Sending another roar towards Acnologia Lucy began to think on what sort of dragon powered attack she could use to actually significantly damage Acnologia. Her roar barely scratched him, and even though his one eye was gone and the arrow still embedded in his flesh the arrows didn't cause enough damage, and it was too dangerous for her to pierce his other eye. A blind dragon could end up completely destroying the city and harming multiple people.

Sending as many attacks as she could Laxus sending his own lightning after hers even though it did nothing Lucy began to think on what exactly could actually severely damage Acnologia. If no dragon other then herself and her father could harm the dark dragon because they were too weak what could they do to make sure Acnologia was gone. A part of Lucy even debated on tugging on the blood inside of her completing a mating bond and then killing herself, a newly mated dragon pair were more connected and both halves would die if one died right after mating. Yet even if it would save everyone Lucy couldn't do that because then Laxus might end up becoming like Acnologia watching his mate do something like that. No she needed another idea that would make it so that Acnologia would be the only one to die.

No matter how many attacks Lucy sent at hime Acnologia still stayed in the air. She knew they had to finish the fight soon because Allison wasn't a dragon built for carrying two other people on her back. The older dragon was clearly weakening and Lucy knew it was only a matter of time before she ended up being too slow to dodge an attack.

Then all of a sudden it was like it hit Lucy a spell she had never even heard of before carried on the wind. It was almost like her mother was speaking directly in her ear giving her the spell needed to end this, a spell that needed the power of the stars and the power of lightning. For a brief second Lucy could even feel the warm arms of her mother surround her front, and she could have almost sworn that she saw Layla Heartfilia in front of her, but not the way she remembered making her believe she was seeing her mother as she had truly been.

Closing her eyes Lucy grabbed Laxus's hand allowing her magic to flow into him and his magic to flow into her. She wondered if he had heard her mother too because he just supplied her with his magic as she prepared her body to unleash the spell.

I am of the universe

Of Stars, Moon, Sun, and Eclipse

Blood shared combining four

He adds the light to my heart

Driving away the darkest pits of the Abyss

He of the thunder storms

Me of the stars

Both dragons so similar yet complete opposites

Shine Heart of Stars and Lightning

Celestial Dual Heart!

As the magic unleashed it was like a bright light was brought down from the clouds, a rainbow of different shades of gold shining on Acnologia, as the pureness of her love for Laxus and his love for her shined the light of their hearts upon the dark dragon. It was a spell that was similar to Fairy Sphere, but at the same time nothing alike at all since this one didn't attack the casters enemies unless if they had no light in their hearts. For a split second Lucy felt remorse at the fact that she and Laxus had taken Acnologia's life, despite everything the dark dragon had done to them she felt terrible that it had come to this.

It was like Acnologia didn't even realize that the spell would kill him being cocky since nothing else could seriously harm him. Lucy watched as acceptance danced in the dark dragon's eyes before his body began to fall downwards, all of the dragons and half dragons flying out of the dark dragon's way as his body fell down to the arena. Silence descending on all of them as they waited with baited breath to see if the dark dragon truly was gone, and then a multitude of roars sounded in the sky, roars of happiness that the dark dragon was finally defeated.

"Allison fly down please I need to make sure he really is gone," Lucy yelled over the roars.

The pink dragon didn't respond probably thinking it would be too difficult to hold a conversation above the sound of the rejoicing dragons. Lucy's father flying downwards with them as he too came down to see if the dark dragon was dead, Luca and Dimitri joining them as well, flying as a family should. The blood loss was starting to get to Lucy, but she knew she wouldn't be capable of rest until she had confirmed with her own eyes and magic that Acnologia truly was dead.

Her magic reached out around her the moment they landed as she searched for life, a type of magic that she had kept secret from her guild mates because it wasn't a common star magic. Yet it made it so that Lucy could pinpoint any living being around her in a five mile radius, each living being having a color that related to their magic. Acnologia's before had been a dark black with slivers of blue inside it, and Lucy sighed in relief as she couldn't find that dark disgusting magic anywhere near her. Throwing back her head Lucy joined the dragons roaring in the sky only stopping as the fatigue started to catch up to her.

Glancing around Lucy was almost shocked to find out that no one other then Acnologia had died in the battle. Her eyes skimming the flying forms and those on the ground until she found the slayers of her guild, all of who were to her horror on the ground their bodies twitching in pain. Lucy could feel some sort of weird magic emitting from them as the three first generation slayers of her guild began to rise into the air their bodies surrounded in a color related to their magic. At the gasps from further away she found that Sting and Rogue were also in the same state, but neither Laxus nor Cobra, when he got out she had no idea, where in the same condition. Yet before Lucy could approach her guild mates to find out what was going on she found herself finally succumbing to darkness.

AN: Sorry for the cliffhanger, but I'm fairly certain you guys can guess what's wrong with the first gen of slayers, so I really don't feel too bad about it. What do you guys think? Thanks for reading :)
