Welcome to the Omake: Future Fairy Tail! This takes place 3 months after the GMG and I hope you guys are excited about it as much as I am! As I write this author's note I'm still not sure if I should split up this omake into separate chapters or not. But you'll find out at the end. Anyway, enjoy^^ Btw, I'm still going to call Future Lucy - Future Lucy but the other fairies' names will stay the same.
It's been 3 months since the grand banquet and the end of the Grand Magic Games. During that time, Light's Darkness had decided to tell the guilds that participated in the GMG where their guild location is just in case for future needs. But, it still remained a mystery to the rest of the country.
But anyway, Team Natsu and the sabers were going to visit Light's Darkness for the first time. Lucy had willingly invited them to visit if they wanted to spar for some training. Team Natsu accepted right away while Sabertooth decided that Sting, Rogue, their exceeds and Yukino go on Sabertooth's behalf.
Sadly, both groups forgot the directions to get to Light's Darkness' guild hall and relied on the dragon slayer's sense of smell. Team Natsu and the sabers meeting up along the way and decided to try finding the guild together. However, Lucy's and the rest of her guild's scents were everywhere in the forests.
They either kept going around in circles or just finding themselves near the edge of the forest surrounding them. Both guilds wondering how in the world Yuki, Hiro and Kuro found the guild to join in the first place. Of course, Natsu and Sting got so frustrated that they began arguing over whose sense of smell was worse, making the others sweat drop.
That was until the 3 dragon slayers, and soon the others, could hear magic blasts clashing in the distance. Natsu and Sting stopped arguing and looked along with the others to where the noise was coming from. Suddenly, they heard rustling in the trees above them and looked up to see Akari and Kano looking down on them with smirks.
"Finally!" Akari said.
"We got tired of waiting!" Kano added.
"Wendy! Carla! They're down hear!" Akari called above.
The fairies and sabers looked straight above them this time to see Wendy with Carla holding onto her as they flew in the air. Clearly looking for them along with the twin dragon slayers. Carla then descended and Wendy waved as the white exceed placed her on the ground carefully.
"Great!" Wendy said as she dusted herself off.
"Hi Carla!" Happy and Lector greeted.
Carla then face palmed as the 2 exceeds began to argue. "Oh great..."
Akari and Kano jumped down from the tree branches they were on to meet the others. Akari placed her hand on her hip while Kano grinned with his arms crossed. Akari's long red brown hair tied up in a ponytail and Kano's hair more messy and spiked outwards.
"What were those explosions were heard over there?" Gray asked.
"Oh that?" Wendy asked as she laughed.
"We got so tired of waiting for you guys that Lucy told us to find you while they started training." Kano explained.
"What!?" Natsu shouted.
"They're starting without us!?" Sting complained.
Before anyone could do anything further, Erza and Rogue hit the 2 dragon slayers on their heads. Making them crouch down as they held their heads in pain. Frosch was laughing while Yukino went to check if Sting was alright, Gray laughing at Natsu while the Light's Darkness members smiled at their childlike manner.
"Will the both of you behave yourselves?" Erza asked.
"Come." Akari said, gesturing toward the way to their guild.
"We'll show you the way to our guild." Carla added.
"Thank you." Yukino replied.
"Fro is thankful too." Frosch said too.
"Lead the way." Rogue said as he picked up Frosch.
The Light's Darkness members nodded as they began to lead the way. Carla bringing her wings out and picked up Wendy to fly to the guild. Going to tell the others that the fairies and sabers were on their way but also because Carla couldn't stand Happy and Lector's arguing any longer.
After all the walking, everyone arrived at Light's Darkness' guild hall. Yukino had already seen it so she wasn't as amazed to see it, but the others looked at it in awe as it was large and well hidden by the trees surrounding it. Thanks to the big clearing around the guild hall and the renovations, the guild was twice as large than it was 8 years ago.
The clashing of magic and, by the sounds of it, weapons were now much louder and took place behind the guild hall. Instead of entering through the front, Akari and Kano just led the 2 groups to the back of the guild. Where the rest of Light's Darkness were sparring.
When they looked at the back of the guild, they found Lucy, Hiro and Kuro fighting with each other. In Hiro and Kuro's hands were swords. Hiro's katana surrounded with water, Kuro's sword this time surrounded by the air around him. Lucy on the other hand was smirking and had a determined look in her face.
The arriving mages went to stand with the remaining Light's Darkness members and greeted each other. Then, they all watched as Akame came out of the guild with refreshments in hand. Once they all had a drink, they continued to watch the battle between the 2 teens and Lucy.
Hiro and Kuro looked toward each other and then nodded as Hiro sheathed his sword again before requiping a fire sword in his hand. Then, Kuro summoned a lightning sword in his hand. Hiro then dashed for Lucy using his speed magic and Kuro teleported behind Lucy.
The blonde sensed it coming and then teleported behind Kuro as both boys clashed with each other. They stopped and faced to Lucy again. Both with grins that matched Lucy's determined smirk. Lucy's hands and feet began to glow as she dashed for Hiro and Kuro, trying to land punches on them.
But both boys blocked with their swords and tried to counterattack, however Lucy back flipped as she landed on the other side of the battle field. All 3 panting tiredly from their match. Lucy nodded and both teens returned the nod. Hiro dismissed his sword and so did Kuro.
"That was a great match, Master." Hiro said as he placed his hands behind his head.
Lucy crossed her arms and laughed a bit. "You guys are really improving quite nicely."
"Well that's 'cause we're such a good team." Kuro reminded the guild master.
Lucy laughed again before turning to the audience watching her in awe. "Well finally." She said in a teasing manner. "I was wondering if you guys were gonna chicken out on my invitation."
"There's no way I'm going to pass a chance for battle." Sting replied.
"Yeah and you still owe me a battle from the games." Natsu agreed.
"Well, Lucy just finished a match with Hiro and Kuro." Lisanna said. "Why don't we go inside and let her regain her stamina and go over the directions on how to get to our guild again so you don't get lost."
"How did you know we got lost?" Gray asked.
"It was pretty obvious, seeing as Lucy and Wendy could hear your loud arguing from the entrance of the forest." Masahiro said as he read his book.
"You could blame Natsu and Sting for that." Rogue said.
"Hey!" Both said dragon slayers replied.
"Now now." Yuki said, trying to calm them down.
Everyone laughed yet again and then went inside through the back door to the guild. Lucy, Hiro and Kuro sat at the bar as Akame brought Lucy's regular milkshake and for the 2 boys water. Team Natsu and the sabers looked around the guild hall, except Yukino. All looking like children that were on some sort of field trip.
It was then that Erza noticed something on the shelf where all the cloaks of the guild members of Light's Darkness were hanged. It was a diamond shaped lacrima with their guild mark on it and it shined a slight ocean blue. It looked worn out yet it was still really pretty.
"Lucy?" Erza asked as she turned around.
"Hm?" Lucy hummed as she finished her milkshake. "What's up, Erza?"
"This lacrima? Where did you get it?"
Lucy looked to where Erza was pointing at and Lucy twitched slightly as she smiled sadly at the sight of the lacrima. When the Light's Darkness members looked at the lacrima, they remembered when Lucy had placed the diamond shaped item on the shelf. She had told them where it came from and they thought back to the GMG 3 months ago.
"Lucy?" Yukino asked, noticing her sad expression.
"Are you okay, Miss Lucy?" Frosch asked too.
Lucy nodded as she stood up to get the lacrima on the shelf. When she did, Lucy looked at the engraving of her guild mark on its surface. Tracing along the outer edge as Erza looked at her with concern.
"This... was how Future Lucy came to this world." Lucy said.
But before anyone else can comment on what the blonde said, Sting and Natsu began to fight out of nowhere. Rogue face palmed while Lector was cheering Sting on. Both dragon slayers held on to each other's arms, attempting to over power the other. Gray trying mirroring Rogue in disappointment.
"Quick! Move the furniture!" Akame said, not wanting to have to spend anymore money for awhile.
The rest of Light's Darkness members all agreed and instantly moved the tables away from Natsu and Sting. Both boys bumping into some chairs but they didn't break. Sting was struggling, his back facing Lucy and Erza, while Natsu was smirking as he was confident in his strength to beat Sting in the brawl.
"Let's move away from them Erza." Lucy suggested.
The red head nodded as they were about to move away, until Sting smirked and was able to throw Natsu behind him. Sting was about to start taunting, until he saw that Natsu was being thrown straight at Lucy. Erza was about to warn the guild master, but it was too late.
Natsu collided with Lucy's back, the guild master falling as the cloaks fell from the shelf and landing on top of her and the lacrima slipping out of Lucy's hands. The god dragon slayer gasped as she saw the lacrima in the air and it began to glow. Lucy's eyes widened as a bright light encased her guild hall, but soon disappeared right after.
Everyone opened their eyes and looked around. No one seemed hurt and nothing seemed to be out of place. But then Wendy and Carla noticed that their guild master was nowhere to be seen. Neither was the lacrima. It made them worry and count the people inside. Surely, Lucy was not among them anymore.
"Um... where did Lucy go?" Wendy asked, making the others freeze at the realization.
Meanwhile, in the town of Magnolia, the newly rebuilt Fairy Tail and its members were celebrating the return of their sixth now eighth master, Makarov. They were all so happy that Fairy Tail was back after being disbanded for a year, that the guild they all loved and treated as home was standing once again.
Everyone was partying, drinking, catching up on things and telling stories of their time during the passed year. However, there was something different from the picture. In that moment, while everyone was getting acquainted with one another and talking about their obvious changes, a burst of magic power opened the doors to the guild.
Future Lucy was the first one at the guild doors, Team Natsu right behind her and Makarov as well. At the guild's doors was a cloaked person, laying on the ground. Their face was and body was covered by the long brown cloak on them and in front of them was a diamond lacrima.
Natsu was about to go interrogate the cloaked person on the ground when Future Lucy stopped him. Natsu looked to his best friend and partner, only to see her eyes wide as she stared at the person before her. Future Lucy instantly recognized the familiar lacrima with Light's Darkness' guild mark engraved on it.
Memories of the past came running back to her and she wondered who it was under the cloak. She silently feared that it was Hotaru, but quickly dismissed it because Hotaru would've come by one of her black portals, not by using the lacrima that had brought her to the past.
It was then that Future Lucy saw the cloaked person twitch and got up from their laying position. The blonde then noticing the all too familiar blue guild mark on the person's left hand. The rest of the guild wondered why Future Lucy had stopped Natsu and wondered why her eyes were wide open in shock.
But it was the question and name that Future Lucy said that made her guild more confused than they already were.
"...Lucy?"
Lucy's eyes widened from under her hood as she looked up to her older self. The blonde guild master could tell that Future Lucy had grown a lot since the last time she'd seen her and was also relieved that she was also alive and well with her Fairy Tail. But, she could also sense the her growth in magic and smiled.
Future Lucy then walked to where Lucy was and picked up the diamond lacrima from the ground and lend a hand out to Lucy. The younger girl smiled as she took it and stood on her feet. Lucy was about to take off her hood, but Natsu cut in and pushed Future Lucy back as he took in Lucy's scent.
"Who are you?" He asked suspiciously. "Why do you have the same scent as Luce?"
Future Lucy sighed and wished the best for Natsu, knowing and remembering well what Lucy was capable of doing. The rest of Fairy Tail only watched as they were also suspicious of the cloaked girl that Future Lucy called by her name. Especially since they had Alvarez to deal with soon.
Lucy kept her calm composure and closed her eyes as she disappeared from Natsu's sight and reappeared right beside Future Lucy. Natsu - being the short tempered guy he was in this timeline - got mad at how Lucy just ignored his question and decided to get his answers through force.
"Natsu you shouldn't fight her!" Future Lucy protested.
The Fire Dragon Slayer ignored her as he lit his fist on fire and was about to attack Lucy. Sadly, he should've listened to Future Lucy. Lucy looked to Future Lucy in the corner of her eye and indicated that she let her handle the situation. The older blonde was hesitant at first but moved to where her Team Natsu was and gave them a reassuring smile.
"Fire Dragon Iron Fist!"
Lucy smirked as she got into her stance and moved her cloak away from her left side. She widened her stance for more balance and waited for the right moment to attack Natsu slightly. She didn't want to hurt Future Lucy's nakama after all, not wanting to waste all the efforts of saving them 3 months or a year ago.
Once Natsu was close enough, a strong golden aura surrounded Lucy. "Celestial God Dragon Roar Canon!"
When all of Fairy Tail heard the attack, they thought their ears were playing tricks on them. They never heard of a god dragon slayer before and they certainly didn't think it existed. Natsu was too late to dodge and hit a nearby wall of a building. Lucy stood up straight again and it was then that the guild members noticed that her hood had come off.
The fairies took in Lucy's appearance and looked back and forth between her and Future Lucy. Lucy's hair was down to her back like Future Lucy's when her hair was down but some of her hair was tied at the back. They noticed that she had a more mature manner than their Lucy and could obviously tell she was much stronger.
Wendy ran to Natsu and healed him. Everyone else wondering who Lucy was and wondered where she learned her magic. Future Lucy could sense the confusion in her nakama's heads and giggled before engaging a conversation to Lucy to break the awkward silence.
"You didn't have to use your magic on him y'know." Future Lucy joked.
"Hey, you warned him and he didn't listen." Lucy replied shrugging. "Besides, it's not like I used my space magic on him."
Future Lucy laughed as she looked at the lacrima in her hand. "How did you get here anyway?"
"I invited the Team Natsu, Sting, Rogue, Yukino and their exceeds to our guild."
"Really now? What did they do this time?"
"It was more of Sting's fault. He through Natsu towards me and I threw the lacrima in the air."
Suddenly, Makarov coughed a bit. Indicating Future Lucy that she should start explaining what was going on and more importantly, explain how Future Lucy and Lucy knew each other. Wendy then brought Natsu to where the rest of the guild was and Future Lucy decided that it was best to explain inside the guild.
"You never told them the truth after they forgot, did you?" Lucy whispered.
"You saw that after the battle huh?" Future Lucy replied.
"That's right."
"I thought it was for the best."
"Well, now it's the perfect time to tell."
Once they were all in the guild, Lucy and Future Lucy sat at the bar while everyone else either stood or sat at a table. Mira then came back from the kitchen and handed both Lucy's a strawberry milkshake. As Future Lucy drank her cool beverage, Lucy took off her cloak and placed it on the bar counter.
"So... who are you?" Makarov asked bluntly.
"And how do you know our Lucy?" Gray added.
Lucy thought out her words for the moment and then nodded once she got all her thoughts and words in order. "Well, for starters anyway, I'm the Lucy Heartfilia of the past and another timeline."
"What?" Makarov asked. "A past of another timeline?"
Future Lucy giggled and remember when she introduced herself to the Fairy Tail in Lucy's timeline. "Just like then..."
"Yes. You see, I'm from a timeline where I left Fairy Tail after Edolas and when Lisanna returned. I was ignored and called weak, worthless and a burden to the entire guild."
"What!?" Team Natsu asked in disbelief.
"After I left, I went to Crocus. But I was soon attacked. I couldn't fight back because I left my keys behind. I nearly died, until I was able to release my god dragon slaying magic. I then created a guild called Light's Darkness along with 4 other people who shared pasts similar to mine. We were known as the Mystery Guild and I was the guild master."
"You're a guild master!?" Laxus asked, slightly surprised.
Lucy nodded as she showed her blue guild mark on her left hand. Then, she also added how she couldn't remove her Fairy Tail guild mark because she was invisible to everyone in her Fairy Tail from the past. Also, showing proof as she showed the pink guild mark on her right hand.
Lucy continued to explain the events that happened before she was taken away into the comet. She went over how she went back to Fairy Tail a year after to get Lisanna, Wendy and Carla to join her guild because they were the only ones who were true nakama to her and the events leading up to the truth behind her magic.
The Fairy Tail mages were surprised by what Lucy told and were very interested with her magic that came from a comet. Lucy then began to explain how she lost her memories, all the way to when she and her guild participated in the Grand Magic Games afterwards.
"This... is going to be a lot to take in..." Erza said.
"But that doesn't explain how both of you know each other." Carla said.
Lucy then nudged her older self and Future Lucy could only scratch the back of her head. She took a deep breath and thought for a bit on how to start the explanation off. She then decided that she start off when she woke up in the middle of the battle field during the war with Tartaros.
"Remember when... you found me unconscious on the ground during Tartaros?" Future Lucy asked.
Juvia and Gajeel were the first ones to remember and soon Gray and Natsu remembered too. "What about it?" Gajeel asked.
"Before that, after I beat Jackal and Lummy, that woman Hotaru came to our timeline. The 4 of you battled each other and Hotaru encased everyone in black orbs that suffocated you. She stopped time and left me the only one free. She then told me that I had to go to her timeline and defeat her so I can save you."
"Excuse me!?" Levy asked in shock. "You went to another timeline!?"
Future Lucy nodded as she began to tell the rest of the story. She went into detail how different Lucy's timeline was from their own and how she watched Light's Darkness and Fairy Tail win battles and how the battle of dragon slayers also included Lucy and in Naval Battle the blonde guild master was the winner.
Then when she and the rest of Light's Darkness went to Fairy Tail for help since they were the only other ones to know about Hotaru. How she herself participated in the last game of the GMG. Though, both Lucy's didn't touch on what kind of magic Akari and the others had. So Natsu wouldn't ask to go pick a fight with them.
But as Future Lucy went to the part where she took the hit for Lucy and how she nearly died, Natsu's anger boiled and he got angry. "You nearly what!?" He asked.
"So that's why Juvia saw that you had more wounds than before." Juvia said.
"That also explains the dry blood on her." Gray added.
"I didn't think that you would actually do that, Bunny Girl." Gajeel said.
"Don't compliment her on that!" Natsu complained. "She nearly died and I never knew about it!"
"Well, it's not a big deal anymore..." Future Lucy said, trying to lighten up the mood.
"Now that I think about it... how are you even alive after that, Lucy?" Lisanna asked.
Future Lucy couldn't answer that question, seeing as she didn't know herself and she looked to the blonde guild master. Lucy drinking her almost empty milkshake, pretending as she didn't know a single thing as to why her future counterpart was alive to begin with.
"Lucy?" Future Lucy asked in a suspicious manner.
Lucy stopped drinking from the empty glass and placed it down as she scratched the back of her head. "Well... you see... I might've... gave you some of my magic and life energy..." She mumbled.
It was silent for a moment until the words Lucy said sunk in. "EEEEEEHHHHH!?"
"You mean to say that our Lucy has some of your magic and life force in her body!?" Cana asked.
"You can't actually be serious!" Mira said.
"Well the magic was to make sure her celestial magic was intact and it was more life energy... I guess." Lucy replied.
"Okay that's it!" Natsu shouted, making all the fairies and Lucy look at him. "I wanna fight you and see if you're as tough as you say! You beat Minerva, Hotaru and you're also a god dragon slayer! This'll be one hell of a match!"
"What!? Natsu are you crazy!?" Future Lucy asked.
"Is that even a question?" Wendy replied.
Lucy didn't reply at first, but then crossed her arms and legs as she smirked. "Well, I did invite the Natsu from my time to fight him anyway. I'd like to see if this older and stronger Natsu can beat me."
"Alright! I'm all fired up now!" Natsu cheered.
"Hold it." Makarov said, making Natsu pout. "Did you not forget that we're going to war with Alvarez?"
When Natsu heard that, he slouched and the rest of Fairy Tail listened intently. Even with Lucy there, they knew that now wasn't the time to watch a battle between Natsu and the guild master version of their own lovable Lucy. They all sat down again with serious expressions and Lucy was busy looking around curiously.
"But... didn't you just have a war between a dark guild? It's only been 3 months." Lucy said.
"Well, I guess that time is behind in your timeline. A year has passed since then and Fairy Tail was disbanded. We only recently just got together again, but Alvarez has come to take something from us." Future Lucy explained.
Lucy tilted her head and then looking through Future Lucy's memories that were still in her head, she assumed that it was the lacrima that held Mavis' body. "You mean the... what's it called... Lumen Histoire?"
All the fairies looked to Lucy with slight shocked expressions. They - from what she'd told - knew that she was never had to face Tartaros yet, so it was impossible of her to use the ancient secret that was held at the basement below their guild hall. Lucy noticed this and giggled a bit before pointing to where her brain was.
"Future Lucy's memories are in my brain, so naturally I would know what it is."
"I see..." Makarov said as he sighed in relief before it turned back to a face of stress and worry.
Lucy noticed this and smiled as she closed her eyes for a second. After she recollected her thoughts, she opened them again to reveal her golden eyes. She held her hand out to Future Lucy and the guild master's aura grew little by little.
"Can I have the lacrima for a second?"
Future Lucy handed Lucy the diamond lacrima and then Lucy encased the object with a series of white, black and gold spirals from her magic. Once she was done, Lucy revealed the lacrima as it was no longer blue. Instead it was black and white all around, the engraving of Light's Darkness' emblem gold.
"If you need any assistance during your fight, don't hesitate to call me." Lucy said as she handed the lacrima to Makarov.
"What?" Happy asked.
"I changed the properties of the lacrima. If you surround it with your celestial magic Lucy, it should alert me immediately and I shall open a portal to come to your aid along with my guild." Lucy explained.
"Are you serious?" Gajeel asked.
Lucy winked as she let her hand out to summon a portal to show the inside of her guild hall on the other side. The Team Natsu, sabers and the rest of Light's Darkness noticed the portal and could be seen with glad expressions. They saw Future Lucy and sighed in absolute relief that she was okay.
Natsu, Happy, Erza, Gray, Lisanna, Wendy and Carla peeked into the portal and could see their own future selves and waved at them, Natsu shouting into the portal along with Happy.
"Hey future me! You better kick Future Gray, Gajeel, Laxus and Erza's butt for me!" Natsu shouted.
"Don't worry about it younger me! I've gotten hella stronger than before!" Future Natsu boasted.
"Hi older me!" Happy greeted.
"Hey younger me!" Future Happy replied.
Both Erza's only nodded at each other, Erza looking at how Future Erza seemed more powerful and wise. Both Gray's fist pumping through the portal while Juvia squealed at the sight of 2 Gray's. Lisanna looking at her future self with longer hair and in pigtails and both Wendy's saying how they never changed.
Though, it was Carla who seemed more than happy with her future self. Future Carla had used her transformation magic to become a catgirl and Carla was fascinated in the way she looked. The others in Lucy's timeline were speechless and Lucy only laughed at their reactions.
Lucy then hugged Future Lucy tightly and nodded toward each other with determination. Then, Lucy jumped into the portal that led to her time with the rest of Future Fairy Tail waving her goodbye. Once she was in, Lucy's portal closed. Leaving the fairies of the future more excited to have Lucy battle beside them.
Once Lucy made it back to Light's Darkness' guild hall, Akari dashed toward her and hugged her tightly. Lucy fell down and felt bad as both Sting and Natsu were underneath her and Akari. Both looked to be in pain and Lucy couldn't help but laugh as she got Akari off of her.
"H-Heavy..." Both dragon slayers whispered.
Everyone else laughed as Lisanna went to Lucy and placed a hand on the blonde's shoulder. "Don't disappear like that again." She said.
"It wasn't my fault." Lucy replied.
"You could've at least brought us with you afterwards, y'know." Kano fumed.
"Don't worry you guys... we'll go back soon enough." Lucy said.
That's it everyone! The final chapter of this story! I can't believe it though, after so long and now I'm done! I know I'm supposed to be focusing on my other stories now, like Don't Leave Me and A New Pink Pearl Mermaid Princess but after writing that ending, I feel like I should do another story.
I mean c'mon, I kinda made Lucy promise that she and Light's Darkness will fight with Future Fairy Tail. Plus, imagine what I could do when Lucy and Future Lucy see Brandish in the future. The possibilities are endless and I could make a chapter for each event. That would be so cool.
But, I'll leave that up to you guys. If you want me to write one final story with Light's Darkness, review and give me some ideas! That would help a lot. However, it would only be Light's Darkness and Future Fairy Tail. That's it. So yeah, plz give your input^^ Ja ne minna~
