2 Days Earlier
Lucy made it up to the Angel Kingdom in a few hours, but now she was surrounded by guards.
"What business do you have with our King, demon?" one of the guards asked.
"It is I, Lucy Heartfilia, daughter to Layla and Kurishu Heartfilia. You will let me pass so that I may bring a message of great importance to the Queen and King," Lucy replied to the guard. Murmurings were heard throughout the guards, and Lucy heard some exclaim how much she did look like the late Princess Lucy, despite her being a demon.
"You will wait here until the King gives you permission to see him," the guard responded.
"Hurry, this is of the greatest importance," Lucy said. One of the guards left to the king, and Lucy hovered before the gate. Before long the guard returned, and they let Lucy enter the castle. Lucy made her way to the throne room, and the doors opened before her. Lucy walked into the throne room, and they closed behind her ominously. She walked closer to the throne and looked up in the eyes of the King. Startled, Lucy took a step backwards, and the King laughed. Sitting on the throne was not Kurishu Heartfilia, but Kiyoshi Heartfilia. Next to him was sitting a female angel that Lucy didn't recognize.
"Kiyoshi! What happened to Mother and Father?" Lucy demanded.
"Emma, will you leave us please? It seems that my sister and I must have a private chat," he said to the angel next to him. She got up, and went out the back door to the King's and Queen's private chambers.
"To answer your question, they mysteriously died of poisoning after you were reported dead."
"... You… You killed them! How could you! Does family mean nothing to you?" Lucy shouted.
"I wanted to rule the angels, and they were nowhere near dying of a natural cause, so I slipped a poison into their drinks one night, and the next day I was crowned King," Kiyoshi smirked. "So what will you do now, o' sister of mine?"
"You will pay for the pain that you have caused everyone with your blood. Prepare yourself brother, for I challenge you to a battle to death!"
"I had hoped you would say that. Now I can kill you without anyone suspecting me. Guards! My sister has challenged me to a battle to the death, and I have accepted. Who ever wins will become the ruler of the Angel Kingdom. Are you prepared sister?"
"You may have had more time to hone your magic, but I was trained by Zeref, and given demon magic you don't even know about," Lucy responded.
"You sure about that, sis? I know more then you could ever imagine," Kiyoshi smirked. The guards formed a loose circle around Kiyoshi and Lucy, and they started circling each other. Lucy was the first to use magic, and activated her soul eyes. It barely took any energy and would be an easy way to win. Kiyoshi shot light beams at her, and Lucy blocked with her fire. She flapped her wings and flew above Kiyoshi and dived down at him. He threw up a light shield, but it was meant for magic only, and Lucy passed right through. She clawed at his wings and face, before leaping away. There were 5 deep claw marks on both his wings, preventing him from flying, and 5 on his cheek. Kiyoshi brought his hand up to his cheek, and when he brought it away there was blood on it.
"That is not a fair move sister. Angels fight with magic, not claws," Kiyoshi hissed.
"You helped make me into this, I'm not longer fully angel, therefore I don't have to follow angel etiquette. Was poisoning mother and father fair to them? Poison is a coward's tool, Kiyoshi," Lucy snarled back. The guards around gasped with surprise, and many turned to look at Kiyoshi.
"Princess if what you say is true then you have no reason to fight him. He will be put in jail to await his trial," one of the guards said.
"Who said I would come willingly? There is no way you could capture me!" Kiyoshi said to the guards. Lucy took advantage of Kiyoshi's distraction and leaped toward him again. She grabbed his arm and plunged her hand into his stomach. Kiyoshi screamed, and fired a light beam at Lucy. It hit her in the chest and threw her away to hit the wall of the throne room. Kiyoshi fell to his knees, and was panting loudly. His hand was over his stomach and blood was pulsing out of it.
"Give up Kiyoshi, there is no way you will survive a wound like that," Lucy said.
"That is where you're wrong. There is one person who can heal this, and make me more powerful, you have fought him already," Kiyoshi laughed. Black mist started to surround him, and Lucy ran forward to kill Kiyoshi, but the mist burned anyone who got close. Lucy ignored the pain and kept going, determined not to let Zeref heal her brother. When she got to the center of the mist, Zeref was leaning over her brother, inspecting the wound.
"It is not that bad of a wound, you will heal quickly. Now let's go before she really does kill you," Zeref said to Kiyoshi. They both disappeared, and the black mist started to disperse. Lucy was left standing in the middle of the throne room, with burns all over her body, and a few broken ribs from Kiyoshi's last light attack. Lucy stumbled forward a step before collapsing. The guards called for a healer, and Lucy was brought to the infirmary. Lucy slept for a day and a half before awakening, all her wounds healed from the angel's healing magic.
None of the angels knew who should rule them next, so all the Lords and Ladies gathered together to elect a new King or Queen. Lucy was not invited, for they still didn't trust that she wouldn't betray them as well due to her demonic appearance. She was asked to tell her story to the Lords and Ladies so that they may decide her fate. They ruled that she was innocent and reinstated her as Princess of the Angel Kingdom.
Since Lucy was too young to become queen, and they still had to figure out how to turn her back into an angel, the Lords and Ladies would rule the Kingdom until she came of age. Lucy would be free to do what she wanted until she got her angelic magic, then she would become the Queen. Lucy left that day to go back to Fairy Tail. She was instructed to come back when she got her magic, or someone would be sent if they found a way to turn her back into an angel.
Present
"So that's what happened. We have to get ready for Kiyoshi and Zeref, this is war," Lucy said, wiping the last of her tears off her face.
"How did you know that Kiyoshi was the one casting the illusion. I thought he used light magic?" Makarov asked.
"Many of you probably don't know, but illusion magic is a subcategory of light magic. You have to bend light to create the pictures, that's why you can't touch illusions, because they are made of light. It would be easier for you to learn illusion magic than someone who doesn't already know light magic," Lucy explained to Makarov.
"So what happens now?" Gray asked.
"Now, we prepare for war. Zeref will do anything to take control of the Angel Kingdom, and we can't let him do that. He will probably teach Kiyoshi demon magic or turn him into a demon so he can fight me," Lucy responded.
"So what kind of demon are you Lucy, and what magic do you use? How did Laxus die like that?" Makarov asked.
"The demon soul that Zeref put in me was one called a Succubus. We eat the souls of anything living to get stronger and replenish our magic. I use demon fire magic, undead magic, and blood magic," Lucy replied.
"What's blood magic?" Gray asked.
"It's magic where I can control the blood of any animal or person, but it takes a lot of my magic power, so I don't usually use it."
"That's really powerful magic Lucy, be careful how you use it," Makarov said.
"... How… how much damage did I cause...?" Lucy asked tentatively.
"Juvia, Wendy, Evergreen, Warren, Romeo, Natsu, Lisanna, Laki, Erza and Laxus are dead. Mira, Levy, and Alzack are still severely injured. Porlyusica is tending to them," Makarov said flatly.
"Oh… I'm sorry, I-I should leave. You probably don't want me here after what I've done…" Lucy whispered, eyes downcasted.
"Like I said before, it's not your fault. You were being controlled by Zeref. We're nakama remember?" Gray responded, hugging her.
"But what about the other guild members? They might not forgive me as easily as you Gray."
"Maybe not at first, but they will eventually forgive you. They will understand after some time that you weren't in control." Gray assured Lucy. "You lied earlier didn't you. When you said you felt nothing for us?"
"Yeah, you guys mean the world to me."
