Hi guys. Stellar Flames here, this is the nineteenth chapter of the fan fiction me my friend have been working on. We mainly have the set characters we act as, but we also take turns with the less common characters. with our names we like to go by our favourite character, so I'm lucy, my female friend is natsu . together we worked together to create this fan fic.
thanks to everyone who has reviewed, I love hearing what you have to say so we can improve the story if we need to.
We do not own fairy tail, fairy tail belongs to Hiro Mashima
(In the guild hall)
Loke: Lucy! Thank god you're okay
Lucy: hi, Loke. Of course I'm okay I'm not as weak as I used to be
Loke: I know that. But it's taken you 2 weeks to recover
Lucy: well I did take a hit from Laxus and I healed natsu, what do you expect
Gildarts: You had us worried. Both you and Natsu
Lucy: I didn't mean to *does the finger thing*
Gildarts: It's okay. We're just glad you two are back to normal *looks over Lucy's shoulder and sees Natsu walking into the hall* Speak of the devil
Lucy looks at natsu and smiles. Natsu looks at Lucy but can't manage a smile
Lucy: *walks up to natsu* what's wrong
Lucy looks at Natsu and sees that he's keeping his hand against his guild mark. Natsu looks away from her gaze
Lucy: natsu I meant it, what's wrong *grabs onto his hand and pulls it away*
Natsu: I... I only have about a year...
Natsu: At the most
Lucy stops breathing momentarily. Her face goes pale*
Gildarts: We can fix this Natsu. There's still a chance we can reverse this
Lucy remembers that sting had said that the non dragon slayer normally goes because the dragon slayer
Natsu: *looks at Gildarts* Admit it though, its very un-fuckin-likely
Lucy: *drops to her knee and starts getting teary* (if natsu has a year, that must mean I have less time)
Gray: *punches down Natsu knocking him down* When did you become so bloody pessimistic flame brain?!
Lucy is crying softly on the ground. Looking at the floor, and the scales on her hands that are left from the last time she changed*
Makarov: What's going on here!?
Lucy: (why, why so little time)
Sting: It seems as if the great and powerful salamander has given up
Natsu: (Lucy...) *holds his hand out to her*
Lucy: *looks up at natsu tears staining her face* (N..Natsu. I'm not ready to die yet, there are still so many things I want to do) *sobbing*
Sting: Such a shame, I figured he would at least try to put up a fight
Natsu: (I won't let you... You're not gonna die)
Lucy: (I don't want to lose you, not again)
Rogue: *lifts up Natsu by his scarf* Hmph. Pathetic
Lucy: *gets up off the ground and grabs onto rogue's arm* Let go off him
Rogue: So you still care about him, even when he's in this state?
Lucy: I don't care what state he's in, he's still Natsu nothing will change that
Rogue drops Natsu at Lucy's feet
Sting: Rogue. Don't make any trouble for us; we were just leaving. Do you want the entire guild to come after us?
Lucy glares at him with her one normal eye and one dragon eye
Sting: *bends down and touches the scales on Natsu's arm as if he's examining them* Last night progressed it much faster than we thought it would
Lucy looks are her hands and forearms which now have scales on them
Rogue: I feel sorry for you girl.
Lucy: why?
Rogue: *points to Natsu* His transformation appears farther along than yours is.
Lucy: (I don't know what to do, why is this happening. someone please help)
Erza: Just tell us what we can do to fix it and then leave
Gray: that doesn't mean anything Rogue we will stop it before they lose it
Lucy bends down to help natsu get up. Natsu shakes off her arm and tries to stand up on his own. Lucy drops her hand to her side and walks off to the nearest table and sits down
Lucy: (I can't seem to do anything right)
Gray: I mean it you two, we will figure this out *looking at Natsu and Lucy*
Natsu: They won't help us. We're gonna have to sort this through on our own
Cana: *guzzles down the rest of her beer* guys if you're looking for a dragon ask the last person who saw a dragon, and ask them what they did to find the dragon in the first place *hic* *glancing at lucy*
Erza: Lucy?
Gray: Luce what did you do to find him
Natsu looks at Lucy hopefully
lucy: *looks up at Erza and Gray* I had to research on where dragons would live, what climates they could with stand and how long they would be in an area.
Natsu: Igneel and I moved around a lot when I was younger. He didn't like staying anywhere for more than a couple of months at a time. He preferred forests or volcanoes though
Lucy: yeah. When it came to actually looking for him it mainly came to chance
Gray: so we work our way out from the island going to all forests and volcanoes
Cana: Lucy you can figure this out, you were the only one to figure out where master mavis' grave was during s rank exam
Natsu: *thinks for a second* Oh yeah... you were too
Lucy blushes and does the finger thing
Gray: I would of found it
Cana: oh really, you and Loke spied on us so lucy could get the answer then you could become an s rank wizard
Erza: Come on Lucy. You can do this
Lucy: I'm not sure I can do it a second time, I wasn't even sure I could find him the first time
Loke: You can do it princess
Lucy: I don't think I can do it such a short amount of time *starts crying*
Gray: believe in yourself
Natsu: I'll hold on for as long as I can. Our priority right now is finding Igneel and getting you better
Lucy: *whispers* but how long do I have
Natsu: Remember what Sting and Rogue said? I'm in a worse condition than you are. I can hold on as long as possible if it means getting you better and safe again
Lucy: *looks up and manages a smile through her tears* and I'll do everything I can to making you better and safe
Gray: and I'll do my best to protect you two from each other while keeping myself alive
Happy: *to Natsu* Does that mean we're getting team Natsu back together?
Lucy looks at Gray with a shocked expression
Natsu: *smiles for the first time since that last incident* Looks like it
Gray: mean nothing offensive just when you two lose control...you really lose control
Lucy: *looks at her scaly hands* (I'm turning into a monster) *starts getting teary*
Natsu: *looks at Lucy and the smile vanishes* I know what you're thinking remember Lucy? And you are NOT turning into a monster
Gray: don't cry it's not like your turning blue and hairy your not a monster
Lucy: *looks at the fairy tail member who came to the cave, at the last incident* yes I am I attacked you guys, and I had no control
Natsu: I was worse Lucy. I only came back to myself because of you... *makes her look him in the eyes* A monster couldn't have done that
Lucy: *hugs natsu* thank you natsu
Natsu hugs her back
Gray: yeah cinder butt just about fried us all
Erza: *hits Gray over the back of his head* now is not the time Gray
Gray: *whispers to Erza* well he did
Natsu: It's okay Erza. Gray's right...
Lucy: *stands up* so are we ready to go
Natsu: *smiles and nods* Yeah. Let's go
Gray: I don't blame you, you lost control but yes we were a little over whelmed
lucy: I'll just need to go past my apartment and get my books that I used to find Igneel, and while I'm at it I'll change into something more appropriate *she heads for the door*
Loke: I'll come with you
Lucy: okay. But you'll have to wait in the living room
Natsu: Just be safe
Gray: oh snap
Erza: What, Gray?
Lucy: *looks back at natsu and smiles* okay
Gray: Loke gets shot down
Erza: You really think you should be joking about this?
Gray: why not, a little humour is good at times like this
Natsu: (Lucy, be safe)
Lucy: (okay, I will)
About half an hour later when Lucy returns to the guild and everyone is ready to go. Lucy is wearing her the outfit she wore when she left. Gray walks ahead discussing the use of humour to lighten a situation to Erza
Natsu: Hey... guys?
Lucy: what is it natsu
Natsu: Can we see Romeo and Levy before we go? I want... I need to apologise for what I did to Gajeel and Wendy
Lucy: yeah
Gray: fine with me
Erza: Are you sure? You can always do this after we find Igneel
Natsu: Not really...
Lucy is self conscious of her hands so she hides her hands in her sleeves
Natsu: But it's something I need to deal with if I'm going to be able to stay in control. I can't let myself keep worrying about this
Lucy nods
Gray: I saw that Luce you should be proud of them not many celestial wizards share a un human quality with there partner
Natsu: *grabs Lucy's hand* (It's going to be okay)
Erza: Gray... did you want to think about rephrasing that?
Natsu looks at Lucy's hand and laughs slightly making her look up
Lucy: what, what's so funny
Natsu: We match *referring to his guild mark being covered by scales too*
Lucy: *blushes* yeah we do
Natsu: Do they bother you that much?
Lucy: *shakes head* no they don't, it's just different
Gray: Now Lucy, Natsu understands where I was coming from even if Erza thinks I'm insulting you
Natsu: *losing his temper* God Gray! Just drop the fuckin issue already
Lucy's head drops down and she looks at the floor
Gray: then people get off my case *storms ahead*
Natsu: Lucy, look at me
Lucy looks up at natsu
Gray: *muttering to himself ahead* the point I was getting at was that not many Celestial Wizards share uncommon qualities like scales with their loved ones.
Natsu: We ARE going to fix this. Remember that
lucy: *nods* okay
Erza: If you wanted to see Levy and Romeo; it's best you do it sooner rather than later
Gray goes and finds a big rock to sit on and starts making ice shapes
Rock to sit on*
Natsu: *nods* right *looks to Lucy* Come with me?
Lucy: *to natsu* are you ready
Natsu: I'll have to be
Lucy: *grips Natsu's hand* okay let's go
-At Levy's apartment door-
Natsu: takes a deep breath, his hand inches from knocking on the door
Lucy: you can do it, I believe in you
Natsu squeezes Lucy's hand and knocks on the door
Levy: coming *levy opens the door* huh Lucy, natsu what are you doing here
Natsu: I... I came to apologize. For what happened 2 weeks ago, but more importantly... for Gajeel. I don't care if you hate me, or never want to see me again. But I had to let you know. I'm so sorry Levy *eyes start to tear up*
Levy: I don't hate you, I know you weren't in control.
Natsu: *looks up at Levy* You... you don't?
Levy: no I don't.*gets teary* I cared about Gajeel, but Lucy convinced me that you would never really do that and that you had no control over your actions, and if thats what Lucy says I believe her.
Natsu: I would've thought you hated me... after what I did. I know Romeo does for Wendy
Levy: *starts getting a little angry by that comment* well I'm not Romeo, each person is affected differently. I just needed time and some convincing *glances at Lucy*
Natsu wraps Levy in a hug suddenly
Levy: woah... *smiles then hugs him back*
Natsu: Thankyou
Lucy stands back smiling
Levy: no problem
Natsu: *let's her go and blushes but is still smiling* Haha, well now I feel like an idiot
Levy giggle's and Lucy smiles
Natsu and Lucy make their way back to Gray and Erza
Natsu: Well, that's a load off my mind. I'd imagine that would've ended differently if you hadn't talked to her before though *looks over at Lucy and smiles*
Lucy: I'm just happy that you're happy
Natsu: I am... Now I can start dealing with this without worrying what Levy thinks of what I did
Gray: we ready to go or do we have another stop
Erza: I've tried contacting Romeo. He seems to have left Magnolia a while ago with the army
Natsu: Oh...
Lucy looks up at natsu
Natsu: I... I guess it'll take some time for me to figure out what to say to him anyway. And it'll do no good to risk me freaking out and attacking him if he starts to attack me. *gives a slight smile*
lucy: yeah
Erza: So? What do you want to do?
Natsu looks at Lucy and squeezes her hand. Lucy looks at natsu and squeezes his hand
Natsu: Let's get this mission started. I can apologize to Romeo when this is all over.
Lucy: yeah. So are we ready to go
Natsu: Let's go
the team head off, travelling to the island where Lucy last saw Igneel. They had to take a boat to get there and it takes a few days
