Hiro Mashima owns Fairy Tail

SHATTER

Her steps couldn't carry her fast enough, even Jet had been surprised at the speed she was running, and Lucy threw the door open to a room of angry faces. Laxus, Freed, Bickslow, Evergreen, and Yajima-san were all laying in the infirmary near death; Porlyusica and Wendy were doing what they could to save them, and Lucy's eyes focused on the blond dragon slayer.

The pain from what she'd learned was replaced with anger, a boiling rage, and that boiling rage showed on her face. Gajeel, Sting, Rogue, Natsu, and Wendy all lifted their gazes as she moved to stand over Laxus; her mouth curled into a snarl.

"I will kill that bastard for hurting my Lightning Dragon."

Makarov's brows winged up in surprise, for Lucy to act this way touched the old man's heart to know that Laxus had someone who loved him so very much, and the man nodded.

"Tartaros will learn what happens when Fairy Tail is attacked, just as all our enemies in the past have learned, and this time there is nobody to stop or lessen our rage."

Lucy looked at the other slayers, who were watching her, and Natsu watched her face change.

"I'm going to train, I learned of a new magic I can do thanks to Loke and Crux's help, but I need to be alone to do this." Her fists clenched tightly as she made the vow in her mind.

I will be stronger to protect my slayers and I will be stronger so I can look at my dragons without being ashamed.

Another gift, for hitting a huge milestone for me, is that I've got over 10K views on this story! So I've decided to post TEN (yes I said ten) new chapters since I've got up to 70 written. Can't ya tell I'm having fun here?
