I struggled writing the battle scene for this one, hence why it took me so long to update. Hopefully, all you readers think it's not too badly written lol


Lucy was walking down to an open area where she could summon Draco again after his insistence that he needed to talk to her which was a good thing. She needed time to clear her head over everything that had happened the previous night. Between summoning Draco and hatching three dragon slayers had taken a huge toll on her magic and she was still reeling from the effects of it all. Then add to the fact that she was going to have to fight Cristoff to in order to mate him, finally. That scared her the most. Her only saving grace was that he hadn't seen her in too many battles so he didn't know what to expect, but she knew that he'd probably be told which spirits she had. Granted she had a few new ones in her arsenal that no-one had seen while she had been at White Sea, but hopefully, Draco would have something she could use to her advantage.

She knew that she'd never been able to defeat him in hand to hand combat so she would have to use strategy against the lunar dragon slayer. Which was also proving troublesome in her mind since he was such a high ranking mage in his guild, had dragon instincts and powers, and the thought of him using dragon force on her made her shiver. Lucy knew she had to fight him but she was unsure of the terms of defeat and the thought of having to mate in front of everyone still made her cheeks flush. Hopefully, they wouldn't be too spent from mating to enjoy each other's bodies fully because she was a ball of pent of sexual frustration since the whole no mating until Draco was summoned bull shit.

Lucy continued to walk further into the dense forest until she came to a large clearing with a small natural pond that had beautiful bright water lilies floating on the surface. The sun was warm on her skin as she took in a deep breath of pine and grass, sitting in a meditative position she gathered her power about her and pushed it into Draco's key. The drain was immediate but nowhere near as taxing as it was last night. Lucy took several deep breaths before opening her eyes to meet the human form of Draco. When he told her he wanted an open space she assumed it was because he wanted to be out and about as a dragon.

"Good morning Princess Lucy. How are you feeling today?"

"Tired, nervous, anxious, excited." Draco laughed at the blonde as he sat in front of her. "I have absolutely no idea what the hell I'm supposed to be doing here."

"You have been doing an amazing job just by following your own heart dear girl. Your Tatsu is strong and full of life and love, you have managed to find all my keys and summon me, plus you have hatched four of the five dragon eggs, and you will be mating the strongest dragon slayer in all of Ishgar. The hardest part for you will be dominating your slayer."

"Dominating! You have got to be kidding me?! I'll have a hard enough time just keeping up to him let alone dominating Cristoff." Lucy couldn't believe what her spirit was telling her. She could feel herself start to hyperventilate. The world suddenly started to feel smaller, closing in on all sides while she struggled to breathe.

"Easy Lucy," Draco's calm voice started to cut through her own internal panic. "That is why I am here, to talk about some additional gifts you'll be getting from me."

"Gifts?" Lucy managed to squeak out.

"You may not be a dragon slayer but you have the heart and drive one. The only mage in existence to summon me, so believe me when I say there are some perks to being able to do so."

"Ok," Lucy took several deep breaths and calmed herself enough to function. "I have one question first." Draco raised an eyebrow so Lucy continued on with her question, "You are the King of all Dragons and Nurem is the Queen, so does that mean she had to dominate you as well?"

"Yes. It was not a pretty battle either since we are both strong in our own rights, but in the end, she managed to land the final strike that rendered me useless. Female dragons are everything in our nest and Tatsu's so we take care of their every need, especially when the eggs have been laid. There have always been less female than males in dragon society, but a Queen ensures stability. Once Nurem and I were mated we secluded ourselves for a couple weeks, but unfortunately, we were unable to have any hatchlings of our own due to the arrival of Achnologia. Now that he has been rid of this world I plan to start that process with Nurem, once I have found her."

"What is Cristoff dominates me?"

"You would be nothing more than whatever that dragon deems you as. There was only one case I can remember and the dragoness was used by other dragons who needed to have relief. Most dragons wouldn't let a female become that but there are dark dragons in the world just like there are dark humans. She ended up dying from the abuse of her mate's demands." Lucy looked up at him with wide eyes and a trembling lip. "That isn't the case here though Lucy. Cristoff would still be your mate but your status of the Dragon Queen would be stripped from you and you may be turned away from the nest."

"Ugh. Why does my life have to be so damn complicated." Draco laughed at the blonde and Lucy managed a small smile. She was left behind after Tartaros and refused to be the weak one this time around. Draco smirked at the fire that was seen in Lucy's eyes and knew that she was ready to put everything she had into this battle.

"Why don't we talk about those perks I mentioned earlier." The celestial mage and her spirit spent the rest of the afternoon chatting about what she'd be able to do and possible strategies to take down her mate. The mating itself wasn't anything glorious either and the thought of having to bite Cristoff and have him bite her didn't sit well, but Draco assured her that instinct would kick in there. Lucy sighed, her life really was complicated at the best of times.


Cristoff was standing in the same mountain range field as when Lucy had summoned Draco since it was the designated area for their fight. Freed had spent the entire day casting rune after rune to ensure that no one could enter that wasn't supposed to be summoned during the call and that they would all be protected from outsiders. Cristoff was glad that only the slayers and their mates would head the call to watch his battle with Lucy. He knew that Lucy needed to dominate him, show her Tatsu that she could handle him, and a large part of him wanted to go belly up and allow her to ride him into oblivion. However, the need to prove himself in battle and show Lucy he was the best choice was taking control of him. His mind was conflicted as was his heart.

He could smell Lucy on the other side of the trees but she had yet to step out onto the field. Cristoff felt the pull of their fight, could feel her calling out to the slayers, and knew that she was waiting for everyone else to arrive before stepping out. Kaleb had helped him understand her ten zodiac keys plus the couple of silver keys she had, but they were non-fighting keys. He knew that none of the Fairy Tail mages would help him and he couldn't blame them since they loved her so much, but he knew Kaleb would keep a level head while talking about her strengths and weaknesses. Kaleb had laughed at the end and told him that he hoped that this was one battle he would lose. Deep down inside Cristoff hoped that too.

Laxus and Emzadi were the first pairs to show up and take a seat on the out ring of the protection barrier Freed had set up. There were several pregnant slayers that would be here to observe and he didn't need them to be injured. Natsu, Xally, Gray, and Juvia were next to arrive with the two men bickering over who was going to have the more powerful children. Cristoff shook his head, did those two ever stop arguing? Sting, Yukino, Rogue, Cobra, and Kinana arrived followed closely by Gajeel, Levy, and Beck. Which had him wondering where Wendy was at before he heard Levy mentioned that she was having issues with Carla staying behind. Gajeel had rolled his eyes and wished Beck good luck while dealing with the constant cock block that was Wendy's Exceed. A swirl of golden stars had everyone's attention turning to the center of the field where the human form of Draco materialized.

"Good evening everyone. Welcome to the mating match of the lunar dragon slayer, Cristoff Pradesh, and the celestial mage, Lucy Heartfilia," Draco's commanding voice flowed throughout everyone that was gathered there. "You are all here to be witnesses to one of the first Drake and Queen challenges in over four hundred years, with the lightning dragon slayer acting as the declarer of the battle. This will not be an easy battle for the two who are competing or the mages who are watching, but know that each party has agreed to this match. I will be watching this match from the sidelines as well. Cristoff step into the moonlight." Cristoff stepped into the glow of the waning moonlight, drawing in power from the moon rays upon his skin. Cristoff requipped into his Immaculate Knight outfit for this battle, knowing it would give him the best chance against his mate. "Lucy please step onto the field." Cristoff felt himself groan as she walked into the moonlight. She was dressed in tight black leather one piece that was lined with golden thread and the constellations adorned her outfit. Her hair was in a high ponytail with minimal make-up and her chocolate eyes showed determined hesitation within their depths. "You are both aware of what is at stake here. Once I am out of the arena you may commence the challenge."

The moment Draco was safely within the protective barrier Cristoff launched himself at Lucy, who stood there watching him come for was pulled underground as Cristoff tried to land a punch on her, wheeling around to focus on the ground around him. The earth started to shake as Virgo popped up behind him hitting him with her chains but not locking them onto his wrists. His fists glowed with white light as he went to attack the maid spirit only to be hit from behind by Taurus. He flipped mid-air and landed on his feet, continuing to slide back as his feet dug into the earth from the force of Taurus' hit. His hands glowed again as he started firing white moon rays at his opponents, smirking when he saw his opening to take Virgo out. Cristoff threw his arm out at the pink haired spirit but was caught off guard when Lucy's whip wrapped itself around his wrist, pulling his off-kilter and missing his target.

Lucy stood off to the side and waited for her opening, knowing that she had to play this smart and stick to the plan that she had concocted with Draco, with a few last minute changes on her part. Cristoff unleased a roar and she was flying through the air, back colliding with the rough bark of a tree. She fell into a heap on one of the trees large roots, blinking to get her vision to stop being blurry. Lucy heard Cristoff launch another roar in her direction but Virgo had her covered, pulling her underground and sending Taurus back. Lucy nodded to Virgo setting phase one of her plan into action, returning to the surface and calling out Capricorn and adorning his star dress. Hand-to-hand combat was the sea goat's cup of tea and just the distraction that she needed to keep her mate occupied.

Capricorn launched himself at the lunar slayer with a fury of punches, none landed on Cristoff but he was kept on the defensive. Cristoff realized too late that the spirit had backpedaled him to where Lucy was, receiving a Lucy Kick to the back that had him snapping several large trees before landing on the lush grass. Groaning he stood and rolled his shoulders and moon jumped himself to Lucy and caught her in the side with a well-placed punch before Capricorn intervened.

Lucy swore to herself, knowing that she was going to be bruised for days after this fight. Lucy called Taurus back to help Capricorn against Cristoff as she started her spell. It might be considered playing dirty but she needed the upper hand. She was going to use her mate's greatest source of power against him, just this once. She glowed a light yellow color as she started to short incantation. It would only last as long as she was conscious, but hopefully, it would give her enough time.

"Reverse Moon Drip!" Lucy yelled throwing her arms up into the sky. Draco was the one who told her about the spell, but she did have first-hand knowledge of the Moon Drip spell itself. The belianese spell requires the light of the moon to react by gathering the Moon's Magic Power in one place. It had been used by Lyon to melt the ice around Deliora when she was first with Fairy Tail, and the reverse spell cut off the moonlight completely.

"Well fuck," Gray murmured as he looked to Natsu knowing that he'd remember that day quite well. "Looks like her day spent with Draco was well worth it."

"Go get 'em Luce!"

Cristoff could feel himself lose the immediate power from the moon but had more than enough on reserve to not be super worried. Lucy was the only one on the field now so he took the opportunity to attack her person. His mate wasn't physically strong so if he could wear her down or knock her out then the match would be over. He began a series of punches and kicks, surprised when she was able to dodge all of them.

"Come on Cris," he heard the taunting pitch in her voice, "I have been on Team Natsu for years and have been accustomed to flames, ice, swords, and debris flying at me since I became a guild member. You'll need to be faster than that." His dragon roared at the insult and he felt his pride take a hit, so he picked up the pace. He landed several strong hits to the blonde who managed to stay on her feet, surprising him. She was pulled underground for a brief moment only to reappear several feet away from him in a green outfit with a bow and arrow. He cursed realizing that she put distance between them so that she use some long distance techniques.

Lucy started firing arrows at Cristoff, determined to win and keep her family together, to prove that she was worthy of being a Queen. Cristoff might be able to keep a level head but the dragon soul inside of him wouldn't take kindly to her words, another insight from Draco. Dragon's may be able to keep their heads in every other fight, but easily lost control when they were fighting for their mates. She heard Cristoff roar as she rolled to the side to miss the cool heat of his moon powers, leaving a strong mint smell in the air.

"You can't keep dodging me forever Lucy." He was right of course but she wasn't about to confirm what he said.

"Why not? It seems to be an effective way to get a hit in," She smiled launching another bought of arrows at him while Sagittarius stood in a tree and fired from behind him. One embedded itself in his shoulder and another in his calf. She charged at him this time, slipping into her Leo star dress to have her Regulus Impact blast Cristoff in the chest and sending him flying into the forest. Lucy was breathing heavily now, knowing that she was running out of time and magic. Phase two had been to rile the dragon within her mate up, and judging by the growl that was sending shivers across her skin she had accomplished that. "I thought this would be at least a little challenging Cristoff."

"It's best not to piss off a dragon, little mate." Cristoff eyes were glowing pure white as he emerged from the treeline. He transported himself behind her, and while she blocked his punch she wasn't able to miss the sift kick to her middle. He watched her roll to the side as he jumped into the air, fist glowing and slamming into the ground. The aftershock from the explosion that happened was enough to push the slayers and mates back several feet, while they all waited with baited breath. Cristoff stood alone in a giant crater, growling when he realized that Lucy had escaped somehow. He whirled around when he smelled the sweet scent of strawberries and vanilla to see Lucy standing beside Rogue.

Lucy smiled while her chest was heaving from how exhausted she was becoming. She had Gemini copy all the slayers earlier in the day, knowing she'd need to use a couple of their powers at some point. With no moonlight, it was easy to have Gemini Rogue pull her into the shadows right before Cristoff's hit landed. She didn't have enough power to call out the twin slayers, because she still needed to execute the remainder of her plan.

"Dragon Slayer Secret Art, Yuhe's Exploding Edge!" A brilliant white light circled around a pale yellow forming wings above Cristoff's head before feathers started exploding from the wings. Several quills sliced through Lucy's arms and legs as she cried out in pain from the attack, sending Gemini Rogue back before her spirit was hit. She pulled herself underground while white and yellow feathers rained down on her, she could feel blood dripping down her arms and legs. She was pissed!

Cristoff smiled, knowing that he had caused Lucy serious damage and would be easy to take down. He didn't like that he had caused her pain and that he could smell blood from the wounds, but his dragon refused to bow down to her. He felt the earth rumble as he was shot up into the air, sandblasting him further off the ground than he would have liked. He glared at Scorpio as he continued his sand attack, pushing him farther away from Lucy.

"Dragon Queen Star dress!" Lucy yelled. Every single person's eyes went wide as they watched her take on Draco's star dress form. Half of Lucy's long locks were pulled into a bun at the back of her head with a gold star with black trim nestled into its side, while the rest of her wavy hair hung loosely against her back. A star chain adorned her neck and spidered down her chest to connect to a gold and black yin/yang bikini that pushed her ample breasts up. Gold metal sat on her wrists and ended at her elbow, covered with the Alpha key's constellations. Matching black mini skirt scarcely covered her ass but a black sheer overlay, with sparkling gold stars, extended from the top of her skirt resting at her knees with black Grecian sandals finishing the look. Draco's golden symbol glowed on her left hip as his power settled over the battle grounds.

Cristoff and his dragon purred in delight at seeing their mate dressed as the Queen. Every inch of her looked delectable and it took all his effort to not show how much this star dress was affecting him. His dragon really wasn't helping the situation either, flashing images of their mating through his mind.

"You WILL bow to your Queen, lunar dragon slayer. Submit to me," Lucy's confident and a firm voice floated across the forested area, eyes flashing gold briefly.

"No! You will be beneath me by the end of this!" Cristoff's eyes were still glowing white but his voice had taken on a deeper edge, his dragon surfacing.

"Have it your way," Lucy's steely gaze rested the lunar slayer. "Open gate of the heavenly scales, Libra! Turn his world upside down Libra!" The dark-haired spirit nodded her head and changed the gravity immediately around the lunar slayer so that he was slammed into the ground, landing on his back. "Open gate of the paired fish, Pisces! I need your spears cemented into the ground. Keep up the great work Libra."

"Yukino?" Sting looked over at his mate with questioning eyes.

"Lucy and I made a temporary contract for the purpose of this fight, with Pisces and Libra's consent. We all knew how important this was for Lucy, the Tatsu, and our children. The Spirit King also agreed with our decision, not that he could say no to Lucy." Yukino giggled at the stunned look on everyone's faces.

"Virgo, I need him chained to spears. Capricorn, Scorpio, Taurus, and Leo I need you to keep him pinned within Libra's gravity magic. Gemini, stick to the plan we talked about earlier. Aries a privacy wall, please. Sagittarius, Cancer, and Aquarius stand guard in case he tries to escape, I need him to stay put."

"All twelve . . . she has all twelve out right now," Laxus was fucking impressed. It took huge amounts of magic to fuel three gates let alone twelve. He knew that Draco was supplying her with additional power while in her dragon queen star dress, but still. It was unheard of.

Lucy sat on Cristoff's thighs smiling down at his glowing eyes. "Submit to me my mate. Let me make you mine, forever." Lucy kissed his cheek, waiting for him to answer.

"I . . . I submit to you Queen Lucy." Cristoff turned his head to the left, exposing his throat to the celestial mage. He felt her sink her fangs into the base of his neck and shoulder, he warm magic flowing throughout his body. Groaning as he felt her petite hands swiftly undo his pants, fangs still planted in his neck. He was throbbing, waiting for her to impale her wet pussy on his hard cock. He didn't have to wait long as her heat encompassed him, moans escaping both their lips. Lucy started to ride her slayer with the knowledge that this would be quick at to the point, they could enjoy each other fully when they were rested. "Please Lu … cy."

"Not yet," she snapped at him, enjoying how it felt to finally have him inside of her. Slowly her spirits were returning to the celestial realm, leaving only Gemini Cristoff who was healing the worst of their injuries while they mated. "Make me yours Cris. Sink your fangs into me and make me cum." Cristoff did just that, sinking his fangs into her tender flesh and growling as Lucy's heat clamped around his cock. He constricting walls pushed him over the edge as he filled her with his seed. Heavy breathing was all that could be heard from the two new mates, both feeling complete.

Cristoff knew that the wool wall had fallen when Lucy's power dipped, the slayers and their mates watching them both finish. Not that they really saw anything since most of them were heavily making out with their mates. He laughed as Draco pulled Laxus off Emzadi to play his part in all of this.

"I, Laxus Dreyar, hereby confirm that Lucy Heartfilia has dominated Cristoff Pradesh effectively claiming him as her mate." Magic poured throughout the area once their mating was acknowledged, hitting Laxus hard with the need to fuck his mate. She was already pregnant so he didn't have to worry about immediate dragon heat, but damn did he want all their clothes to suddenly vanish. "I suggest everyone finds their way home and fast."

"No worries," Draco smirked at the blonde man, "I will send you all home with my powers. Lucy," the celestial mage looked at Draco's hardened gaze, "we need to talk the moment the suns comes up." The tired woman weakly nodded her head before he zapped them all back to White Sea or the Pradesh estate.

"Sleep?" Lucy asked with one eye open and one closed.

"Best idea ever," Cristoff yawned before pulling Lucy close, both mates falling asleep immediately.
