Ohayo Minna-san! It's been a while, ne? I've had a bit of writers block, and only three people reviewed so I wasn't terribly motivated either. I am SO glad my block broke though! I went a liiiittle overkill on the length but oh well (: Enjoy and review! I already wrote the next chapter too, so as soon as there are 5 reviews it'll get posted!
Levy POV
I'm sitting in Gageel's lap in the guild, they all know by now anyway, and waiting for the Sabers to show. Theirs was the last town we did, the only one left before our own Magnolia. I know they will arrive soon, they're actually a bit late, and when the guild freaks out Wendy will show up with Lucy's projection. Right now Gageel is eating metal while Lily has his kiwis, Natsu and Gray are fighting while Erza argues with Mira. Oh hehehe she's just turned as red as her hair, Jellal must've been mentioned.
Suddenly the doors slam open, and in come our guests, well, the guests of those who know at least. I get up with a smile and walk up to them, Gageel and Lily following. "Welcome, I've been expecting you." I give them a bright smile as they bow slightly, it wouldn't be noticeable unless you were looking for something like it. I'm not a bit surprised by the gesture, they know who I am to Lu-Chan after all. Before they can respond more than that the whole guild snaps out of Their shock and prepare to attack, Natsu and Grey screaming, Erza looming in heavens wheel armor and the rest in fighting stances. I simply raise my hand to the guild and create a solid script clear shield around us with the other. "Minna, calm yourselves they are our guests and will behave while here. Understand?" I phrase the last bit as a question, though it's clearly an order rather than a genuine question. The whole guild is once again shocked so I call upon my sisters while they are scrambling, falling over, or frozen, hehehee the guilds so funny! Their shock is clearly over how confident I seem and by how strong my magic is... I suppose I HAVE gotten stronger, I mean with all the powerful spells I've had to work and Lu-Chan, Mum, and Dads blessings it'd be odd if I hadn't... This time the bright flash of light signaling the arrival of my sisters and our vassals. The guild stares open mouthed as the slayers (excluding the Baka known as Natsu), exceed, takeover mages, and even evergreen bow, knowing just who Me, Wendy, and most importantly Lu-Chan are. The guild stares open mouthed as the slayers (excluding the Baka known as Natsu), exceed, takeover mages, and even evergreen bow, knowing just who Me, Wendy, and most importantly Lu-Chan are.
As they all rise at our acknowledging nods, the rest of the guild runs to their newly straightened friends in a rush, asking why they were doing that, especially Freed and Bixlow to Evergreen and Laxus. Wendy, Lucy, and I giggle, then we blunettes nod at each other when Lu-Chan looks away... Time to show her how good we'd gotten at our jobs. In unison we step forward and I allow the barrier to fall as we speak, our voices are loud and resonant though we aren't yelling or harsh, we use our magic to amplify our usually gentle and softer voices. "Everyone, calm down and listen. We have much to tell you and Lucy is here to speak as well. All will be explained when you have settled down and welcomed our guests. Natsu must leave for us to tell the whole story, as he does not bear the mark yet." Our voices are full of authority, yet soothing, and works faster than Mira turning Demon ever has. Within a minute everyone is sitting peacefully and fairly quietly while Laxus, Erza, and Mira lock Natsu up away from the guild.
When they return Erza turns to us, glaring slightly at the sabers as she does. "So, what are they doing here? What happened to you and Wendy? And what of Lucy? Will she be returning soon?" The rest mutter and nod in agreement in the background, especially asking about me and Wendy. We glance at each other and giggle a bit while Lucy all out laughs behind us, she whispers to us as she calms down "I'm so proud of you two, you're wonderful princesses!" We smile and hug her while the guild spazzes over our ability to touch the non-corporeal Goddess.
Lucy steps forward in her newly formed outfit, as she does mine and Wendy's magically changed as well, from our normal guild attire to our royal clothing. Mine and Wendy's crowns and symbols show, shocking the guild AGAIN, explain.
As Lu-Chan get ready I can only think one thing, man they're easy to shock nowadays...
Lucy starts up again as the guild calms, "I will just show you all why the sabers are here to start off. Oh and my sisters can touch me because of their stations in the Gods' Realms, their power is sufficient to reach me here via the projection you see. Now I'm going to play my memories of being at Sabertooth." She casts her hands upwards throwing a glittering mirror into the air where it floats and grows to show her memory.
IN MEMORY LUCY POV
I turn around as a wind picks up behind me and I sense a familiar magic. A swirling whirlwind full of brightly colored leaves and flower petals is forming and soon enough Wendy steps out followed by Capricorn, Carla, and her new friend/maid/vassal /guard, Nina. Her portal disappears when the Last person crosses through. "Hey Imotou, Nina, Carla, Cap, what's up?" Nina and Capricorn bow and curtsy to me as I roll my eyes and make their excuses to leave. Carla flies off with a wave to find Luna
"Lucy-Nee, I missed you! Ummm but, can you… Canyoucometosabertoothwithmeandhelpabittheyrereallystubborn!"
I laugh and shake my head while I hug her, "Wendy, calm down and repeat that slowly."
"Okay, sorry... Can you please some to Sabertooth with me?"
I look at her a little oddly. "Uummmm. Maybe? Why?"
But just as she was about to answer Loke and Virgo pop in and create chaos!
GENERAL POV
A long time passes quickly, it looks like Lucy fast-forwarded through the memories until the scene shows the girls sitting down for lunch spirit free.
LUCY POV
"So Imouto-Chan, you never explained why you need me to go to Sabertooth. Care to before I decide to go? You know I shouldn't."
"Well, Levy and Gageel did their job, or what they could of it. They're waiting for me to get you for help. I tried to convince and explain to them when they refused memory or acceptance but they won't consent to the return."
I scrunch my face up at hearing that, Well, that explains the lycan's upset. Then turn my attention back to Wendy, "I'll tell my people I will handle it. Afterwards we will return to Saber, I need visit someone, and send two of my more wayward subjects to FT anyway."
"Really!? Thanks Lucy nee!"
"Sure, we'll go in the morning, okay?"
General POV
The scene fades into a new one, a swirling wind and swirling sky full of different mythical creatures' symbols. Then the vision is of Wendy Nina Cap Luna, Star in human form, and Carla in front of the Sabers guild.
LUCY POV
Levy and Gageel's voices ring out behind me "Oi bunny!" "LUUICCCHHAAAANNNNNNN!" And seconds later in tackle hugged by levy-Chan. Everyone around us sweat drops as Wendy jumps on us too and we dramatically cry as we shout and hug how much we missed all being together.
Before long we detach and link arms, me in the center and nod to the others, Cap and Nina quickly open and hold the doors for us. The rest fall in behind us as we walk to the opening. As we enter our clothes bodies shimmer and we take on our Gods Realm looks and royal garb. Our footsteps lighten to near silent and we change how we hold ourselves from guild girls to princesses.
Wendy and Levy look different now, time in the Gods Realm and preparations to make them minor Goddesses had given them transformations much like mine. Wendy's hair got highlights and waved slightly, she grew a bit and her eyes got even more vibrant. Levy's hair got lowlights and tints a barely noticeable light orange at the bottom but remained the same length. She didn't grow any, but ancient writing magically tattooed itself on her right wrist and left upper arm like bracelets. Her eyes got more vibrant and a bit lighter. Both have two streaks of hair matching mine and moms, showing their status as my sisters.
By time we stood before the silently shocked Sabers we looked fully like Goddesses. After being cowed and snapping out of it, Sting rushed forward, Minerva, Rufus, Orgs, and Rouge followed with the Lector and Frosche bowing in the air to us before approaching at our simultaneous and near imperceptible nods. They may not know just how or why but they can sense I am their Goddess. Orga's eyes widen in disbelief and recognition, a God-Slayer sensing a true goddess and two Demi goddesses. Seconds later he looks confused and defensive, obviously trying to figure out how we look so familiar and why we are here. Before he can say anything I shake my head and smile gently at him, he nods warily and stays silent. Sting is now just before us, Gageel and Nina stand to the side and a little behind their respective charges and Cap does the same for me in the center, standing just a foot or two behind me.
"WHO ARE YOU!? And why are you in our guild!?." Sting yells.
Minerva sneers at us while Rufus observes silently, trying to remember who we are, that nagging familiarity affecting him, and Orga and Rouge remain mute one blank faced the other furiously thinking. The exceed fly to us and hug me tight, I happily cuddle them while my sisters look over and squeal "KAWAII!" At this Sting freaks out again and Rouges blank expression falters slightly with surprise.
"Let go of our exceed!" Sting screamed in fury.
I simply raise an eyebrow and look at the cuties in my arms "Would you two like to be let go?" Both shook their heads no and I nod, "Sting they don't want me to, so deal." Everyone not in my group drops their jaws while my friends laugh, even Capricorn grins. While they are silent I decide to take advantage and start talking.
"Now then, would you all like to explain why my sisters' words went unheeded and they were chased away? I am not pleased, by either your prior behavior or your obvious lack of recognition of us." My voice, echoes a bit, don't ask how, I've no clue, but it does as it threads through the guildhall and looks of confusion appear.
All three of us sigh and glance at each other shortly before Minerva speaks up again: "What the hell are you talking about, we don't know you people, and if we do obviously you're just weak, worthless, trash since we don't remember."
Orga visibly blanches and moves farther from her as a tick mark appears on my head. She insulted my sisters! They have JUST gotten the confidence they need and deserve to have, this bitch better not wreck it! I grin at Orga and give him a small shake of my head, even if annoyed I won't smite her or whatever.
"Well, seeing as none of you can figure it out, even WITH Capricorn, Gageel, and Nina here we will show you all out mortal forms."
"Mortal forms? The fuck you talkin' about lady!" Sting, of course... *sigh* oh well,
"Orga, you may come here and stand by us, your father has been worried about you, Star and Luna have a letter and some lightning for you from him. The rest of you may want to step back a bit, the magical pressure will change and my sister's barrier won't dampen it for those within 5 feet." Those closest to us gawk... Again, before either moving or glaring and staying put. Lore and rouge move and Lector and Frosche fly up to a safe distance.
Orga is walking towards us in a daze and before going to my friends stood to ask, "You know my father? He's fine? Wait how do you even know had a God for a dad... Or which one was his son is a better question I guess...?"
I just giggle lightly and answer with a wink "Of course I know him, actually I know all three of your parents! The lightning idiot is fine and worried over you. He loves you after all! Also I knew you from before, it'll make sense soon k?" He nods and continues on eagerly to get what his father sent. Our guards wisely step back a few feet to keep safe, and watch Orga near my other friends.
Without further wait Levy erects her barrier around the three of us and those dumb enough to not move and we release our magic pressure. Our hair changes turn to wind, stardust, and floating symbols, out clothes seem to melt away revealing our guild clothes and our other changes correct themselves in similar manners, both forms are true forms, natural to us, so it's nothing like a takeover or glamour magic's process. Many of the mages obviously realize this and gasp. The whole guild is silent other than the screams or grunts of pain from the dumbasses not on the floor from our unbound power, we pull it back in and Levy waves her hand to make the barrier melt away. We look around at the mages of Sabertooth…
And promptly fall again each other in breathless laughter. There lie Minerva and Sting with dizzy circles spinning in their eyes as they try to get up, panting a bit. All around us the others have fallen over, passed out, dropped their jaws and widened their eyes, from surprise, or taken to wild anger screaming it can't be us, or it's a trick, generally weak varies can't do that to Minerva and Sting.
"L-Lu hehe- Lu-Chan, m-my sides hurt!" Levy gasps out with mirth in her eyes. On my other side Wendy is in no better condition.
"Lucy-Nee hahaha, w-we, we need to s-stop-p laughing hehehehehe, cant. Ha ha breathe hehehe!"
I'm right there with them seeing even rouge with shock, awe, and confusion on his face is just too much! I can hear the rest of our entourage trying to gain control too with snippets of "priceless", "it's too good", and "you got that on video right Nina?" In the background. Eventually we all calm down, Minerva and Sting stand with tick marks on their heads and the others return to normal.
When done Levy steps forward, "So I believe my sister asked a question before. Why did you chase us out and disregard us before?"
Wendy is next as Levy returns to my side she goes forward, "I know at least two of you remember the lycans, yet you deny it, why?"
Finally I step up, "Please answer us quickly now. I need to know and get back, I'm a rather busy woman."
Rufus just shakes his head and says he'll memorize this event, while the male exceed land in my arms and the girls fly into Levy and Wendy's so they could talk with the other flying cats. Sting of course glares at us and decides to be an idiot. "OI! You didn't answer us! Who the fuck are you 'cause even if you are those fairies, you ain't human, how do you know Orga's old man, and who is the geezer!?"
I only sigh and shake my head, "Oi, Orga."
"Yes? What can I do for you?"
After seeing the reaction of the room to Orga's politeness and giggling at the confusion it caused I reply, "They don't know about it all? Your dad, his blessing, any of that?"
"No, they don't I didn't want Minerva's psycho father to try and steal it." He sounds a bit irritated now…
I laugh a bit with Levy and Wendy, then we turn to him, "Orga, he can't, no one can, Gods' blessings especially one like yours are impossible to steal, so can I tell them?" He looks up from the letter, looks like he finally got to the part about who I and my sisters are, he dips into a low bow because of it, we all groan in response, "Orgaaaa! Don't bow, we are SO tired of that and none of us like it, we are equals to our people not above or to be bowed to!" He straightens and looks in awe at us, not only because we talked in unison either.
"You'll make great Queens Lady Lucy and Lady Wendy, and Queens' advisor Lady Levy. Feel free ta say anything ya need ta. I don't givva crap after readin' this."
"Thanks," I turn around to furious looking sabers, "Alright, Orga is Immortal, his Foster Father gave him that blessing along with his training. His parents were devout followers long ago, when they died by a minor God's hand the god was punished and Orga brought to be raised in the Gods' Realm. I know his Godly Father and parents, he can't visit until I'm done fixing the dimensions though sooo I brought presents instead!" Everyone looks at me like I've grown two heads then at Orga who simply nods and confirms my story before eating up the lightning I brought. "Anyway as to who we are, umm well, technically we aren't supposed to introduce ourselves to groups, like ever. But I hate that rule so ima ignore it!"
"Milady."
"But Capricoorrrrrnnnnn! It's not a court event and I wanna do it!"
"Do you want to set that example for the princesses?"
Damn he got me… I sigh "Fine, you can do it then." I respond with a pout.
He steps forward to announce us as we switch back to our Goddess forms and allow the exceed who had left for safety to resettle in our arms. "Presenting her Royal Highness, Goddess of Mythical creature and their mages, Crown Princess of the Gods, Lucy Divina, and her two sisters Sky Maiden Wendy, Dragons' Princess of the Air and Winds as well as Demi-Goddess of Flight, and Princess Levy Demi-Goddess of Literature, and Languages, as well as advisor to the crown princess." He steps behind us again with a mild bow to us.
I look around Minerva looks furious and scared at the same time, Sting looks confused and pissed big surprise there I roll my eyes at Levy when she looks at him too and she nods, Rufus is memorizing again, and Rouge has gone down on one knee in a knight's bow. Well he technically WOULD be one of my knights, as would Natsu, Sting, and the rest of the slayers. I walk past the angered two and grab Rouges hand gently, my mark is transferred to his skin in the center of his guild mark. "Ryos, we missed you. Your aunt and uncle have been worried sick since Wise and Sky passed away, they're worried too. You, as one of my knights are free to come with us to see all of them later on okay? I'd take you now but I've business to finish here, also please get up already, remember what we said to Orga?"
Rouge looks at me and smiles slightly as he rises, "Right, sorry. What did you mean missed me Goddess? Also your knight?"
I smile at him and nod, these are wise questions, "You may call me Lucy on Earthland and in Edolas, or anywhere really, I'm not big on formalities. We missed you because you have been to the Gods' Realm before, I'll restore those memories to you and your brother later. It is the birthright of any dragon-slayer with a royal as a parent to be one of my knights, you were always my favored as a child to be honest. You give good counsel as well as strong protection and good cover for pranks."
He nods and grins a bit at the prank comment while Levy and Wendy giggle in the background. We walk to Sting, Rouge staying two steps behind me to my right side, hmm seems he remembers some of his knight training after all, to walk in the proper position…
Sting, having seen and heard all of this is even more confused "WHAT THE HELL ROUGE! YOU BELIEVE THIS CRAP!?"
I just sigh and shake my head "Man I HATE doing this but if you don't calm down and see reality I WILL force you to submit Sting, at least Lord Rouge retained his intelligence, though it seems you did not." My voice is no longer normal, it is infused with my Godly power and authority, causing everyone in under my rule to flinch. Sting of course can't take a hint.
"Bullshit Fairy, like you could make me do anything!"
"Levy, Barrier; everyone under my reign enter it and follow your Princess' orders she is my proxy until this one has learned his lesson. Everyone else do as you please I am restricting the effects to my people, though there may be more of you here, you will be transported to Princess Levy if you are accepting of the fact or left here if you are not. It may still be highly uncomfortable for other mages, as most have a creature somewhere in their lineage." Everyone does as I said immediately, I am not to be disobeyed when I get like this. Sting only glares, I wait for Levy's signal to begin and immediately narrow my eyes at Sting when I get it. "You have one last chance, accept my identity as it has been given to you."
"Hell no Blondie"
"You are blonde to, I hope you recover your brain when I return your memories." With this said I begin to walk, well float really as my feet no longer touch the floor, to him and add more power to my voice, I despise using my ability to force my will on my subjects but it is necessary at times. "Kneel." This is all I say and he is kneeling with a grimace on a proper knight's stance. "You may rise" He stands. I lower the power of my voice "Do you accept who I am yet, none but your Goddess could compel you like this without any other harm or effects." A few other members take this moment to curtsy or bow to me, having knelt with Sting and are transported to Levy with my mark in the same place as on Rouge, center of the guild mark.
Sting glares at me but slowly nods, "Yeah, I get it Goddess." And does a half-assed bow, but hey I can stop now.
I glide to the ground and release my voice from the power to control, "Thank you. I am sorry for that, but there wasn't really another way with you, your Dragon was the same when I was young actually… Anyway I will restore your memory and Rouges when my work here is complete, now that only Minerva needs dealt with it should go easily." I create a star in my palm and speak into it, "Levy-Chan! You can return with the others now!" I blow on the star and it shoots off, moments later they appear in a flash.
"Hey sis!"
"Lucy-Nee!"
I'm tackled again and laugh as Rouge zooms over and catches us before we hit the ground. "Please be careful ladies."
"Thanks Sir Ryos, we will!" Wendy replies.
I turn to Minerva who is now shaking and paler than she should be, is she okay? Hmm better check… I walk over to her and she flinches, I frown. "Minerva, are you alright? I know the voice thing is creepy to see or hear at times, but you seem really freaked."
She looks at me wide eyed and backs up a bit, "It's not the voice thing Goddess." Odd, I KNOW she's not one of mine, I checked…
Orga comes up behind me and taps my shoulder as my brow furrows more, "I think she's freaked cause she just realized she tortured and laughed at a Goddess. And tried to harm her sisters. And called three of them trash." I look at him and it's clear he's trying not to crack up and can barely do so, I have no such inhibitions nor do my sisters.
"Oh, oh Gods, oh my Mavis hahahaha! She... She's seriously…. Ahhahaahahahhaa! Mav-Chan save me ima die of laughter!" Mavis pops up next to me, visible to everyone.
"Hey Luce, ummm why are you dying I wanna join!"
"Mavis! You're already dead!" Wendy yells and Levy laughs harder. In a very Fairy Tail-ish move the whole guild shouts "WHAT! FAIRY TACTICIAN MAVIS" and "ALREADY DEAD!"
So I explain to Mavis and she starts cracking up to, she loses control and starts floating all over as she giggles, freaking out any Sabers she went by. When we calm I turn to Minerva, "Minerva Orlando, lighten up already! I am well known as the most forgiving Goddess in the universe, I don't like to hold grudges and you are a friend to two of my knights and of Orga's. Besides the worst punishment you'd get for that from me is jail time, you're not the first nor the last to do something like that, I'm in Fairy Tail after all!" She, and most of the people there, look at me like I'm crazy. Oh well! She's calmed now so I just move on. "LEVY! WENDY! Please do your Jobs, Annabeth, Rosette, please help them. This has taken far more of my time than it was meant to, fun as it was, I've need to get home and usher the Lycans into the world again. Sting, Rouge, comm'ere I need to fix you before I go!" I yell out with a bright smile, everyone gets moving and I gently kiss each boy on his forehead, sending magic into the seals and removing them.
Sting's head snaps up after, his eyes cleared from the haze of memories returned to him, "Princess! I'm SO sorry Blondie! Man I was such an ass to you…." I just giggle and pull him into the hug Rouge gathered me in. When they let me go I flash back to my meadow and leave the others to their work as I do mine.
General POV
The mirror goes back to reflecting and Lucy waves her hands gently it shrinks and falls to her hands where it blinks from existence.
