Notes: Be prepared to see Lucy and Hellia's bond, and how Hellia tries to explain that not all demons are bad.
Natsu and Gray had arrived at the entrance to Magnolia Town, and they came face to face with Lucy and Hellia. Erza and Wendy had seen the boys run past them, and they decided to follow them to see what the commotion was about.
Wendy knew that if it were Lucy or her doppelganger, then the confrontation would get heated. Of course, she would keep Team Natsu in the dark about the fact that Lucy joined Sabertooth. If she were to let it out, then Erza might kill her for keeping that information from her for so long.
"What the hell are you doing here?" Natsu asked Hellia with an angry look on his face, as he charged up a flame in his right hand.
"We're just doing some shopping. Do you have a problem with that?" Lucy sternly replied for Hellia, as she remembered how Natsu cheated on her and thought of her as useless.
Gray noticed Lucy's yellow tank top with her orange skirt, and he also took notice of the red bow in her blonde hair. Unlike Natsu, Gray actually felt a little bit of guilt for what he said about Lucy. Taking a step forward, he wanted to apologize.
"Lucy, I'm sorry for what I said about you. It was wrong of me to be an idiot like Natsu. If you want to fight, I'll go easy on you." Gray explained with a kind look on his face while holding out his hand apologetically.
"Don't try to show pity to us, fairies. We're not weaklings like you. If you must know, we're Sabertooth." Hellia responded for Lucy while she looked calm and slowly built up power.
"Sabertooth?!" The Fairy Tail mages, except for Wendy, asked simultaneously with shocked looks on their faces.
Erza was the first one to recover from the shock, and she was somewhat puzzled at the fact that Lucy managed to get into Sabertooth. Rumors had said that it was really difficult for anyone to earn a place in that guild, but Lucy of all people?
"Hey, Lucy! Are you serious? Why would you hang out with those guys? Didn't Minerva almost kill you?" Natsu wondered, as he laughed, thinking that Lucy was joking.
"I'm not joking, you idiot. I'm a Sabertooth mage now, and my days of caring about people who can't reciprocate are done." Lucy replied in a cold tone, as she began to walk away.
"Your level of denseness is amazing, Natsu Dragneel. You hurt Lucy twice, and you just expect her to be nice to you?" Hellia asked in a stern tone with her arms folded, and her purple eyes narrowed.
"What? You know that I cheated on Lucy? That was supposed to be kept private, Luce! Are you telling those Sabertooth jerks that I'm a manwhore now? Is this your way of telling me that you shouldn't have been kicked off the team?" Natsu asked while slowly looking furious.
"You impudent idiot. Why should I even bother to give a damn about you? I'm happy in Sabertooth, and you know why? It's because you're not there! If you call yourself a guild, take care of your comrades. That's what you said last year, wasn't it?" Lucy explained while harshly facing Natsu.
"Yes, but that was when Yukino got humiliated!" Natsu shouted defensively, as his anger was building and causing him to charge up a flame on his right hand.
"How do you think I felt when you cheated on me with Lisanna?! Natsu, on that day, you lost all of my trust for you! All that stuff you said about loving me forever… You never meant a single word of it, you fucking liar!" Lucy shouted angrily while an orange aura surrounded her left hand.
"Whatever, Luce. Go have fun with your Sabertooth team. You'll still get ordered around by Minerva, so you're the one who's really suffering." Natsu said with a grin on his face, as he stuck his tongue out at the stellar mage.
"Actually, I took down Minerva for almost sending Lucy on a permanent trip to the afterlife. If I hadn't been thinking of Lucy, she might not be standing here right now. You should be grateful." Hellia retorted sternly while a yellow aura surrounded her body, and power began to flow through her.
Erza, Natsu, and Gray were amazed that Hellia spoke of taking down Minerva, as if she had done it so easily. Erza had struggled in her fight against Minerva, and had to use her Second Origin to unlock her Nakagami Armor to defeat the sadistic witch.
At that moment, Erza had been snapped out of her thoughts by the sight of Natsu running towards Lucy with giant flames surrounding both of his fists. He didn't like the fact that a guy like Sting had heard about what Natsu did to Lucy, and the fire dragon slayer was extremely angry with her.
Lucy dodged all of his punches, and all of those previous jobs combined with sparring against Hellia in Sabertooth's training hall had paid off. She kept dodging for a while, until Lucy noticed an opening. She struck Natsu in the stomach with the fist that had been engulfed in the orange aura of Earth Magic, and the force of her punch sent him crashing into a building!
After he made contact with the building, the force from Lucy's punch had resulted in a large orange blast of energy that made everyone close his or her eyes to avoid the intense brightness. Hellia inhaled the smoke to make it fade away faster, and she snickered.
"That's just simply pathetic. You see, fairies, those old-fashioned direct styles of combat aren't going to work against us. Not that you don't seem powerful, but why be so predictable? I can anticipate a person's actions in 10 nanoseconds, and let's just say that I've mastered tons of spells." Hellia explained with a harsh facial expression, as she still snickered.
"It doesn't matter how many you've mastered, you know! It just makes me frustrated that you act like you've beaten all of your opponents so easily." Erza stated with a glare on her face, as she requipped into her Lightning Empress Armor.
She unleashed a large beam of blue lightning from her sword, prompting Hellia to release the yellow aura that she was stockpiling inside of her. She simply let the tip of her left ring fingernail touch the attack and the lightning was absorbed into it!
"Wind Magic: Aerial AK-47!" Hellia yelled loudly, as her left hand was suddenly engulfed in a green aura. Bullets of air came down from the sky, and they couldn't be seen by anyone. Before Erza could react, the air bullets struck her quickly and with intense pressure! Erza stood up in the new crater that Hellia's attack created, and she rubbed the side of her head.
"An attack like that wouldn't normally be that strong, so how did she do that? Is this girl somehow able to combine and convert magic? No, that's only an old legend about a demon. What the hell is going on?" Erza thought while glaring at a smirking Hellia, whose eyes looked fierce like a lion's.
She requipped into her Flame Empress Armor, and Erza immediately took notice of her opponents faintly smiling. Erza went into a cautious stance, and she was careful to not attack directly. She was trying to see what kind of attack Lucy or Hellia would use.
Then, to Erza's shock, her body was frozen stiff! She couldn't move a finger, causing Wendy and Gray to wonder what was going on. Lucy was also curious as well, because she wasn't even thinking of attacking yet.
Hellia smirked deviously at Erza, who was able to tilt her head down a little bit to see an extremely thin shadow stretched from Hellia's left foot to hers! The doppelganger giggled with delight, and Lucy wanted to know how she did that.
"Remember the Aerial AK-47? Well, it's like something that falls from high heights. As soon as I see the smallest shadow, I can use my Shadow Dragon Slayer Magic (Hellia learned this from the black book) to increase its longevity from a few feet to infinity." Hellia explained nicely, as a pink aura surrounded her middle finger.
She used her Dream Magic to restore Magnolia Town to its proper state of being undamaged, and her shadow disappeared. Erza just looked shocked at the sight of Hellia starting to walk away with her hand holding Lucy's hand, and she needed an explanation.
"Why aren't you knocking me unconscious right now? Why are you just walking away?" Erza asked sternly, as she pointed her Flame Sword at Hellia.
"It's because I'm not like Minerva. In case you didn't see those huge blasts two weeks ago, I almost killed that bitch for killing Lucy. I don't know what happened, but someone brought her back to life. Also, so what if we're in the Sabertooth guild? We're not all like Minerva, so don't be so quick to categorize me and Lucy." Hellia replied coldly, as she turned back to Erza and frowned like she had asked the most idiotic questions in the world.
Then, the stellar mage kissed Hellia on the lips in a passionate matter. Hellia kissed back, and she lowered her green tank top to reveal the Sabertooth guild mark on her right breast.
"Lucy's a lesbian? I did not see that coming." Erza thought, as her jaw dropped at the scene of Lucy embracing her doppelganger.
Wendy smiled, and she made an 'X' with her arms as a signal for Lucy and Hellia to leave. Hellia carried Lucy bridal style, and used her Hell Speed ability to return to Sabertooth. Unknown to any of the fairies, Hellia had done something extremely cunning.
Later that night…
Lucy entered her room, rubbing her somewhat bloated stomach from the delicious dinner that she had, and let out a small burp while wondering why Hellia wasn't downstairs for dinner tonight. She wouldn't eat with the other girls, and Hellia certainly would take food off of Lucy's plate at the first chance she got.
The Celestial Spirit Mage closed the door, and took off her clothes to go take a bath. Lucy grabbed a pink towel, and headed into the bathroom to find Hellia wearing a towel as well while letting the hot water run from the faucet.
Hellia had supposedly bought a gift for Lucy, seeing as there were red rose petals on the floor and soothing aromas from the scented candles that were placed on all four corners of the sink. Lucy blushed at this display, and Hellia took Lucy's hand in hers while they stepped into the waters of the bathtub.
"Ahhhhh… This feels so nice." Lucy said with a smile, as she slowly sunk down into the water.
"It should. It's my way of saying that I want to celebrate our eighth week together." Hellia replied with a smirk on her face, as she sat across from her lover in the bathtub.
Then, she poured pink liquid from a shampoo bottle into the water, causing the color to turn a light shade of pink. Lucy simply giggled, and Hellia wrapped her arms around Lucy's waist. Both of the girls just smiled, and they felt the mutual feeling of relaxation take over.
The pink shampoo smelled really sweet like honey, and Lucy kissed Hellia's cheek while her brown eyes twinkled in happiness.
"When I watch you, Hellia, I feel full of courage. During that first job in Sabertooth when we had to take down those giant monsters, I was tense and nervous. However, you give me courage." Lucy explained while smiling, and touching Hellia's left hand with her own.
"I'm glad to hear that, Lucy. Actually, we work well together. I love having you around, which is why I went berserk went Minerva killed you." Hellia replied, as she blushed at the stellar mage.
Lucy loved Hellia a lot, but something was weighing heavily on her mind. She couldn't put it off any longer, so Lucy summoned up her courage.
"Hellia, will you see if you'll be allowed in the Grand Magic Games? If you come out of me during a match, I don't want to get disqualified. Please come with me." Lucy said while crying a little bit, as she went into Hellia's arms.
"I will always be by your side, Lucy. In the events and battles, I won't let anyone hurt you. Besides, Sting once said I could even pass off as Gemini with dyed hair." Hellia answered in a calm tone, as she stroked Lucy's hair and gently patted her back.
"Hellia's so confident and sure of herself…. I can't lose in front of the person that I admire!" Lucy thought, as she slowly summoned her courage.
The two girls continued to share their hug, and they stayed like that for a while. It was the most comforting scene in the world, as Lucy had her head snuggled between Hellia's breasts.
Still, Hellia could feel her love growing for Lucy. She still had that evil side to her, but the angelic stellar mage just made her feel complete with happiness.
