Chapter 14

Lucy had disappeared.

The group with Lucy looked around frantically. Where was Lucy? Without Lucy, they didn't know what to do.

"Where's Lu-chan?!" asked Levy looking around for any trace of Lucy.

"I don't even think she's here anymore!" said Ultear.

"We have to get out of here!" commanded Erza. They all obeyed, no one wanted to stay without Lucy. They ran out of the cave and out of the gate too.

"We descend!" yelled Jellal. They looked at him as if he was crazy but followed him and jumped down the mountain. Everyone closed their eyes, when they opened them, they were at the bottom of the mountain.

"Without Lucy, this place is dangerous, I can feel it!" said Meredy looking around. She was right. Soon, they were surrounded by a huge hoard of phoenixes. They all glared at them with angry robotic eyes. They seemed to be controlled. The group recognized two familiar phoenixes among the group. They were indeed, shocked.

"Fenni-san! Secu-san! What are you guys doing?" asked Wendy.

A glare was their reply. "The princess Lucy Heartphilla is not with you. If Lucy is not here, then you guys cannot be here. Get out!"

All the phoenixes launched their fire bolts to them. The group struggled to dodge all the attacks. "We really need to get out of !" yelled Ultear over the sound of the bolts.

"I would have done that a long time ago!" shouted Levy back. The group raced at top speed to the gate entrance. The gate was open. They dived through the gate. The mountains, phoenixes, the magic boost all disappeared. Behind them, the gate slammed shut.

"What in the world was that!" said Jellal looking in horror.

"Have you finally understood how dangerous that mountain is? The phoenixes there are like demons in disguise."

They turned around to the voice. It was Hisui of course. "That's . Scary isn't it. Once you lose your entrance. The phoenixes there just show their true colours. Their demons!"

"Ah, Hisui-san, do you know why Lucy disappeared?" asked Wendy.

She closed her eyes. "Of course, the cave you entered was the cave of endless. Lots of memories in there. She has bad memories right? Well, they came back to her the moment she touched the memory crystal. Whenever her memory comes back, she releases this huge amount of power. But in Mt. fiore, there is already a lot of magic power."

"So?" said Levy.

"Their magic powers fuse together. I personally have no idea where Lucy is. I suggest that you go back to the mansion. There may be a clue there." They nodded.

Somewhere...

Lucy looked around the place. Where was this. Her surroundings where all blue. She was walking on a path of milky white. She continued until she came across a group of people wearing hoods that covered them completely. They bowed down much to her surprise.

"Your majesty." they said.

"Why do you call me that?" said Lucy.

"Because you are the princess of the universe. You are currently at the core of the universe. In soon time, you shall be crowned." Lucy narrowed her eyes.

Suddenly, there was an opening. A figure stepped out. It was a twin dragon of saber tooth, rogue.

"What I suspected was right of course. Your parents told me everything! Why would you do all of this. You need to leave behind the past and push forward to tomorrow!" said Rogue. That was the most he ever said...

A hooded figure stepped up. "What are you doing here commoner? Do you realize that you are standing before her majesty? Bow!"

"Then what about you?"

"We are her supporters, we have permission sometimes of course."

"Do you really think that she will believe in this? Why are you doing this!"

The hooded figure shook his head. "What insolence, be gone!" With a flicker of his hand, rogue was pushed out of the universe.

The figure turned to Lucy. "Do you see Lucy? This is your power!"

Lucy pushed him away. "Step away commoner. I am queen. Yes, I am the ruler of the universe. And yes, in 7 days, 7 hours and 7 minutes, I shall be crowned!"
