QUICK NOTE: This arc will not be the same as in the anime, because then I will start to get bored, and I'm sure you all know what happens originally, right? Sorry for the inconvenience :') Oh, and the introduction of one new OC~
[3rd P.O.V]
Upon arriving at the Alliance base, Lucy kept her ears and eyes open especially when she heard a slight rustle in the bushes nearby. Her eyes narrowed when the lights around them dimmed and a spotlight formed around each of the four men who were already present. It was unbeknownst to her why they would want to stand in the centre of attention, and such strangeness in the way they introduced themselves, specifically the part where they echoed each other's words, and talked in long intervals of pauses, which was strange in its own way...
"I have heard only great things of you, Lucy-San~ You can be rest assured, that we, at Blue Pegasus will do our best to welcome you!" Hibiki Lates flirted, winking in the direction of Lucy, who only raised her eyebrows in slight amusement. "And we know, of course, that you are Zorya, are you not?" Lucy merely shook her head, standing beside Erza, who was being escorted by Eve Tearm and Aaron Baskilla, while she was getting escorted by two of them, much to her own surprise, and the jealousy of Gray.
"Please, have a seat." Ren Akatsuki slung an arm around her waist, her eyes widening on impact as they stayed wrapped around her stomach. "Oh wow...~ You're just too cute, aren't you~?" Hibiki then took a hold of her hand as she spluttered, not expecting this kind of treatment, and they both escorted her to the same table and couch where she was sat down next to Erza, all of them making small talk. "Here... you can have it if you want, but it's not like I made it for you, or anything."
"You are so much more beautiful than the pictures we have seen from Sorcerer Weekly, I am blessed to be in the presence of you, right now~" Hibiki spoke in a sugar-coated voice, addressing her with both admiration and a love-struck voice. Gray bristled, cringing whilst Lucy was speechless from their actions, and hospitality. He then stood up, after kissing her knuckle, and proceeded to address both of the two ladies, ignoring the two males. "Well, you ladies must be exhausted. Feel free to spend the night~"
"We don't mind~" All four of them spoke in complete unison, their voices matching as they all sparkled brightly and kneeled down with their arms outstretched. Lucy and Erza sweat dropped, the both of them too speechless to say or object to anything. Then, there came the sound of footsteps along with a dramatic dimming of lights yet again and another spotlight forming around a small and tubby man.
"Calm down men, allow these ladies some freedom~" The small man spoke in a soft, smooth and silky voice which seemed to bring Erza to shivers down her spine once she recognised his voice. She gulped, the others seeing the feared Titania buckle down in fear, from a small man who they couldn't see the appearance of.
"Yes, Ichiya-Sensei!"
"Him...? Oh dear..." Erza trembled, her eyes widening to an unhealthy size. She stood up now, Lucy following her example with confusion whilst Gray and Natsu merely watched, unable to do anything as the man continued down the steps, the four flirts and playboys bowing in greeting at him.
"It's been far too long, Scarlet-San~!" The man now identified as Ichiya, brushed the blue rose on his white suit as his orange hair glistened from the spotlight and sparkles appeared around him like the four playboys. Even his suit glistened from the light, which is surprising to say the least.
"Long time, y-yes... I never expected to see you here." Erza replied, many beads of sweat forming on her forehead as they each rolled off her face and down onto her armour, her form trembling a lot now. She shakily took a step forward but didn't dare to take another in case of falling from the way she was trembling in pure disgust but wanting to be polite which is the case for Erza here.
"Oh, how I have missed you, my sweet honey~ But don't cry, I am here~!" He cried in a low tone, leaping onto the banister of the staircase with surprising grace and sliding down with just one foot balanced as he slid down the banister like a ballerina. Happy's jaw dropped, and though Lucy tried to hide her surprise, her eyes showed it all. She didn't know that Ichiya and Erza were in a relationship, though judging from Erza's actions, it would definitely be a one-sided love.
"We didn't know she was your girlfriend, Ichiya-Sensei!" The four boys exclaimed, folding their hands to their chests as they each turned to the Fairy Tail mages in complete unison, though it shouldn't surprise them anymore... "Please forgive our rudeness!" They apologised, bowing in apology though Erza seemed to be infuriated by that action, pointing a finger in their direction abruptly.
"You know that is NOT true!" Erza shouted, triggered and offended by their words. Happy flinched, almost screeching from fear.
"You... IDIOTS! We have work to do!" Ichiya scolded them, making them jump from fright, and rearrange the couches and tables away immediately. They brushed away the dust with brooms quickly in teamwork, and soon, the base was as clean as it was before they had ruined it by placing tables everywhere. "It seems that destiny has brought us together, Erza-San, Lucy-San... And you two, not so much." He completely lost all effort in welcoming the two boys and though Natsu and Happy didn't seem to care, Gray was quite triggered. "Sniff sniff, sniff sniff~! Sweet parfume~!" His fingers were in a 'gun' position as they pointed at Lucy, who shivered, now knowing why Erza was so creeped out.
"Listen up, you Blue Pegasus playboy wannabes!" Gray spat, his patience just about done at this point. "You'd be wise to keep your hands off these ladies. We clear?" He glared at them, mentally rolling his eyes at the situation they were all in, specifically the girls. He wanted to punch the Blue Pegasus idiots all in the gut with his ice-make hammer, especially the blonde one, the dark-haired one and the troll-looking one.
"Crystal clear. Now, take your leave." Ichiya gave him a blank stare, very serious though this seemed to anger Gray even more. A tick mark formed on his forehead as he clenched his fist, trying to calm himself down though this trick didn't seem to work, except making him even angrier.
"Thanks for dropping by." Hibiki sighed, bowing while the other three all echoed what he said with bows too.
"Thanks for dropping by...!"
"We're here on some serious business, y'know! Can you pretty boys even fight...?!" Gray snapped, officially done with them all. He groaned at their persistence though and just wanted to walk out.
"You wanna find out?" A dark smirk lit Ren's face as he faced Gray menacingly with his tall stature and form.
"Yeah, we're real tough, pal." Eve agreed, an equally dark smirk lighting his face, though he appeared to be less threatening than Ren.
"Hm...?! A fight, y'say?! Hell yeah! I wanna fight, and I'll win for sure!" Natsu cheered, eagerly jumping next to Gray but then Erza sighed, and walked forward to stop their fighting when Ichiya pirouetted from behind her back and stood next to her waist where he began sniffing her, using his infamous phrases such as, "Sniff sniff~ Sniff sniff~!" which caused her to shiver again and tremble.
"You stay far away from me!" Erza shouted, punching Ichiya and he flew off into the air whilst crying, "Men~!" in a most pitiful way. Lucy facepalmed at the madness going on. Then, another made an entrance, Ichiya's face getting frozen as he was flung in that direction via Erza. Lyon Vastia. Someone who Lucy did not know, nor did she care that much about this random stranger.
"Lyon?!"
After the introduction of Sherry and Lyon, finally a person worth acknowledging entered the building, scolding them for their reckless atmosphere and intention to fight when they should be preparing to fight. Their eyes locked, and he nodded to her in acknowledgement. She did the same, though this subtle act didn't go noticed thankfully since the door opened yet again and a little girl stumbled inside, shy. Then a little cat much like Happy wandered in, too, soon revealed to be the little girl's guardian. Their names were Wendy Marvel and Carla the exceed.
"A pleasure to meet you, Wendy-San. I hope we can be great allies in the future." Lucy bowed in a ninety-degree angle that seemed to make the small girl overwhelmed. "I can sense that you are some sort of dragon, or perhaps a slayer? May I ask what magic you hold if you don't my asking, of course."
"A-Ano, I have Sky dragon slayer magic." Wendy trembled, while Happy fell in love with Carla almost instantly. He wanted to woo her, though all Carla did was roll her eyes and turn away with an unimpressed expression. She crossed her arms dramatically and Happy wept in the corner with his fish that he had tried to give her as a present.
After all the hullabaloo, Lucy stood up, and was about to leave the chaos behind since she had enough of all the stalling of the real job, they had been tasked with completing for the Magic Council when Jura called out to her, questioning where she was going.
"Where are you going, Lucy-Dono...?"
"Ah, well, I've had enough of all this chaos, no offence. I'm here to complete the task that the Magic Council has set, and if most of you are going to continue fighting, then I might as well complete this job by myself. I'm not meaning to be rude, but I also have other things I need to do, and I do not have much time." Lucy explained as she tied her long, blonde hair into a high ponytail with a blue ribbon to the right side of her head and clipped the clasp on her black cloak which hid most of her body. She then took out a black mask and put it on which covered the lower half of her face, covering her head with the hood of her cloak. Her face wasn't visible that much.
"I see... I agree, then. Let us unite together to defeat this dark guild." Jura agreed, taking a hold of his staff but Ichiya stopped them, relaying his plan that he had figured out. Lucy listened, but as soon as she heard another rustle in the bushes, she spun around and threw a dagger in the direction of the noise. Everyone else in the light guild alliance stopped and turned to see what was going on.
"Ah... I suppose it is 'nice' to see you again, Angel." A dark expression crossed her face as she saw a dark shadowed figure step out from behind a tree and bush. "But now is where your fun shall end, do you hear me? Since, we have fought before, and I won that time, did I not? Now, tell me why you are here? Oh, let me guess... You're a part of the Oracion Seis, yes?" Lucy growled, another dagger in her hands as she prepared herself to throw it at the imposter.
"Haha~ Hai, it is good to see you again, Zorya. However, I am stronger than I was back then. You won't beat me so easily, that I can tell you." Angel retorted, confident in her magic skills though she herself knew that she couldn't compare to Lucy, who had years of practice and had beaten her so easily back then.
"Well, I would be honoured to have that part two then. After all, if you think you can beat me, and that you're stronger than before, surely this would be a piece of cake, no...?" Lucy smirked brightly as the dagger disappeared, and she brought out a celestial golden key. "Open. Gate of the weapon. The celestial katana~" She chanted, a bright flash of golden light forming as the key disappeared, and instead the key had turned into a black and gold katana which shone from the sunlight. "I've got this. You guys can go and activate the plan."
"Hai!" But Hibiki stayed back since he could inform her of the situation and tell her the rest of the plan because she didn't get to hear it. He stayed right in the corner, readying himself to watch the two women fight. The rest had split up.
But the fights had only just begun... Especially for Lucy Heartfilia, the girl who has the most power in every situation.
Hello!
Sorry for the late update! I was struggling on ideas these past few weeks since I have my GCSE mock exams next month. I'll do my best to update as much as I can~! ('') I will try to update my other books, too, but I'd really like some comments suggesting whether this book should continue being a [Preview], or just a normal book. You don't have to, but it would be nice
Fairy Tail does NOT belong to me, nor does Boku No Hero Academia, or any of the pictures, video's or OST/Music :)
Thanks for reading this chapter! ヾ(•ω•')o
