Lacy: Life does not own Fairy Tail!
Chapter 25: The Six Prayers Appear!
Lucy looked over at the information gathered by Hibiki on his Archive magical screens. Her eyes had a calculating look in them as she soaked in the information.
A holographic image showed a man with tanned skin and dark brownish-red spiked hair atop of his head. He had pointed ears and a slanted single beady eye while having a scar across his right eye. A malicious smile coated his thin lips as he looked at the large purple snake that was in the image with him. Donning a black turtleneck under a white collared coat and deep red pants with black straps and dark boots on his feet.
"Cobra, he is assumed to use poisonous snakes as his magic." Hibiki began.
"What an Evil-looking mug. Just look at those slanted eyes." Natsu commented frowning.
"They're the same as yours, Hot Head." Gray and Lyon said without missing a beat.
"Oh my glob." Lacy gasped.
"They're in sync." Lucy and Lacy said simultaneously.
"No comment." Sting said shaking his head.
The image on the Archive screen switched to another man. He was tall from the details given in the image. With blonde and black hair slicked back in a long and spiked Mohawk. Long blonde eyebrows and a stab-worthy long nose. He wore a chin guard and his eyes were covered by green sunglasses. Wearing a red and white track suits, he appeared to be ready to race at any time.
"Racer. His name would appear to indicate that he uses speed-related magic." Hibiki said.
"Somehow I just hate his face." Gray mumbled.
"Me too." Lyon said.
"Are you two, like, in sync?" Lacy asked with a waggle of her blonde eyebrows. "Do you need some chocolate?"
Lucy snickered at the Ice mages dumbfounded expressions.
The images changed again revealing a massive odd shaped man. His face consisted of sharp angles. With long and wavy orange hair, long eyelashes framing shiny blue eyes with apparently no eyebrows.
Lucy frowned softly as a nagging feeling started to gnaw inside her.
"He's a mage capable of wiping out an entire army, for the right price. Hoteye of the Heavenly Eyes." Hibiki continued.
"For money…" Sherry said softly.
"How vile." Jura scowled.
The images changed to show a beautiful young woman. With short white hair and a tendril of curly hair that formed a halo and whose bangs were cut in a straight fringe above her thin eyebrows and held back by a large dark blue ribbon. She wore a short dress made of white feathers. Two large white feathery wings hung on her back. Her dress revealed much of her torso and two white wing tattoos were on her collarbone.
"Angel. A woman who is said to see into your own heart." Hibiki said.
"My instincts say I'll have difficulty dealing with someone like her." Lucy muttered.
"She looks like a demented swan." Lacy commented as Natsu snickered at her comment.
The screen shifted to another image. On a flying carpet, his facial features hidden by his sleeping form; was a man black and white hair. He wore a black and white vest with black and yellow pants accompanied with red boots.
"Information about this man seems to be scarce. All we know is his name is Midnight." Hibiki sighed.
"Midnight? That's quite an unusual name." Erza said.
"He's so mysterious." Lacy sighed dreamily which caused Natsu to growl.
Lucy shot a look at Lacy which caused her to keep quiet.
The screen changed for the final image of a man with deeply tanned skin and beady dark eyes as well as slicked back silver hair. He had black line markings on his face. He wore a white and black open-chest shirt and dark blue pants with white fur that twirled down each of his legs. Black knee-high boots adorned his feet.
"And finally, their leader, Brain." Hibiki said solemnly. "Each of these mages has enough power to annihilate a guild single-handedly. We must take full advantage of our numerical superiority."
Lucy and Lacy shared a nervous look. Natsu and Sting saw the look in the Spirit Twins' eyes and squeezed them comfortingly to reassure them that they would be fine.
"Worry not. Our strategy is not limited to simple combat. The important thing is that we locate their base of operations." Ichiya said calmly.
Lucy narrowed her eyes slightly as Ichiya since he was acting differently than before. His magic power also felt strange, but she chalked it up to paranoia as Gray began to speak.
"Their base?" He asked.
"Yes, although we have yet to confirm this for certain." Hibiki answered.
"But we believe they may have established a temporary base of operations in the woodlands." Ever said.
"If at all possible, we want to get them all six of them together at the base." Hibiki proclaimed.
"How in the world do we do that?" Gray asked.
"By beating them up!" Natsu grinned ferally standing up after he let go of Lacy.
"Back to simple combat already." Lucy sighed.
Natsu huffed at Lucy before Lacy came up to him patting his head. "Not everything can be solved with your fists, Natsu-kun."
"What do we do once they are gathered there?" Erza interjected.
"We use our guild's mighty Pegasus airship, the Christiana, to destroy their airbase and them along with it." Ichiya said smirking calmly.
Which prompted to look at him closely as another nagging feeling tingled the back of her mind.
"A magical bomber?" Sherry asked which broke Lucy's train of thoughts.
"If combat does ensue, nobody is to attempt to face an enemy alone! You must always do battle in groups of at least two!" Jura said fiercely.
Lacy and Wendy were visibly freaking out and though Lucy was much the same, she continued to appear calm in order to calm her sister and Wendy.
Meanwhile, Natsu was pumping himself up with confidence. "Right, I'm all fired up now!" He grinned ferally once more before speeding out of the villa. "I'm gonna take on all six of them by myself!"
"Dammit, Natsu!" Sting growled rushing after his brother, but not before grabbing Lucy, who grabbed Lacy, who grabbed onto Wendy who was holding all three cats.
"Kya! Stingy-bee!" Lucy squeaked.
"Natsu-kun left meeee!" Lacy wailed.
"Wh-wh-why am I c-c-coming along?!" Wendy yelped.
"Aye sir!" Happy said.
"Sting-kun is the most considerate!" Lector smirked.
"Tch, ruffians…" Carla sighed.
"I don't think they even heard the plan…" Gray sighed before adding, "Well Lucy heard at least."
"We should follow them! Let's go!" Lyon growled.
Gray followed after Lyon with the rest of the Alliance as they trailed behind the Dragon Duo, Wendy, and the Spirit Twins.
-And Then-
"I can see it! It's the woods!" Natsu grinned excited for a fight as he skidded to a stop and bounced in place.
"Natsu, you baka! Wait for us!" Sting growled catching up to Natsu.
"Natsu-kun, how could you leave me?!" Lacy cried as Lucy bent over her knees catching her breath. Lacy huffed as Natsu kept watching the woods excitedly.
"Himes, shall we carry you?" Hibiki said smoothly.
"Stay close to me." Ren said
"I'll hold your hand." Eve said gently taking Lucy's hand.
Hearing the soft growls of a certain dragon slayer, Lucy stepped away from the Trimens feeling Sting's hand at the small of her back. "Geez, how annoying…" Lucy sighed.
Sting smirked pulling the older Heartfilia closer to his side. Lucy hid her blush by looking away and watching as Lacy ignored Natsu by fangirling over the Trimens who fawned over her.
"3…" Sting began.
"2…" Lucy continued.
"…1" they said simultaneously. Sting smirked as Natsu looked back at Lacy from watching the woods.
Natsu's eyes narrowed as he started to growl seeing his mate surrounded by the Trimens. "La-!" His growl was cut off as a shadow started to pass above the group.
Every one of the alliance members, minus Jura, Erza and Ichiya, looked up seeing the airship that Ichiya had mentioned earlier.
All of a sudden, the Christina started to descend rapidly as explosions erupted from it.
"Lacy!" Lucy cried out for her twin as the Christina crashed into the ground before them. A large cloud of dust, embers, and splintered pieces of wood and shards of metal and glass rained down covering everything.
: Lacy:
I coughed and opened my eyes as I looked up when the dust began to clear. There was a ringing in my ears and a heavy weight on top of me. It was not the familiar warmth that I have grown accustomed to when it comes to Natsu and his protectiveness. Yes, I know big words!
I heard groans from the weight, or rather weight. And I saw black hair, blonde locks, and an orange mane, immediately recognizing it as the locks of the Trimens. My long time crushes! They must have protected me judging on how their arms were wrapped around me. Normally I would be squealing and melting from happiness. But I was worried. About Natsu. My sister and Sting. And everyone else.
"Are you alright, Princess?" Eve-kun asked as they helped me up.
"I-I'm fine." I said softly brushing my clothes free of dust while the smoke cleared.
My mouth hung open slightly as I watched as six people started to walk out of the remains of Christina. I was so shocked and stunned into silence as fear filled my being. Because right in front of me… A few feet away… were them… The Oracion Seis!
