Chapter 7: Facing demons

Upon arrival at the guild, they all dropped to their knees. Their magic felt like it had been ripped from their bodies. Team Natsu knew better though. They knew that it was still there, the dark mages in front of them had just nulled and concealed it.

"Well well well. If it isn't the little blonde slut and her destructive band of misfits. I told you we'd be back for you."

The leader, Xirenia, stalked closer. Her deep black hair and blood red eyes were menacing as they landed on their prey. She wore an old Victorian inspired outfit, her black corset seemed too big on her overly skinny frame and the weird half pants-half skirt thing she had going on made her look like a wanna be pirate. Great Halloween costume but it made Lucy want to laugh every time she saw it because she knew the woman thought it made her look sexy.

Lucy glared at the woman and growled when she got closer but couldn't contain the whimper of fear when the woman grabbed her by the neck, lifting her off the ground.

"Aww is the poor little slut scared? Good. I heard a rumor that you're pregnant again. Tell me. Is it true?"

Lucy's hand unconsciously moved to cover her stomach and the woman's eyes gleamed in masochistic delight.

"GET AWAY FROM HER!"

Natsu growled at the woman and from the corner of her eye she could see her team, Vander, and Cristoff struggling to get up.

Xirenia's smile grew even more demented as she motioned behind her.

"I suggest you all stop trying to help this pathetic slut. I believe you lost something and I would hate to have to ruin it because you couldn't follow directions."

One of the men in the back moved to stand just behind Xirenia, dragging something with him. As he stepped to the side, all of Fairy Tail gasped, eyes wide in fear seeing just who Xirenia had captured. There on the ground was sweet little Wendy, her hands and feet bound, her mouth gagged, and what looked to be bruises forming on her cheek bone, arms and legs. The man held a knife to her throat and they could see where it was cutting into her skin as a small drop of blood dribbled down her neck.

All of Fairy Tail grew still, they didn't know what they were supposed to do as they watched two of their members be held hostage within their own guild. With their magic being suppressed the way it was, there wasn't much they could do, it was hard to even sit up. Even if they could do something though, they couldn't do anything. If they helped one the dark mages would kill the other.

Seeing that the mages had stilled and weren't going to attempt anything Xirenia nodded her head at the man. He took the knife off of Wendy's neck but Xirenia increased the pressure she was putting on Lucy's.

"Now that your stupid, weak little guild won't do anything you're coming with me slut."

"No."

Lucy could barely breathe but she wouldn't let the bitch win. With all the force she could muster, she swung her leg back and kicked Xirenia as hard as she could. The kick wasn't the hardest she could have dealt the woman since she hadn't been touching the ground, but it did the trick. Xirenia dropped Lucy as she doubled over clutching at her side. Lucy landed and dropped into a battle stance, not even taking the time to catch her breath. Swiping her leg out she knocked Xirenia off her feet making her land hard on the guild floor. Not wasting any time Lucy slammed her foot into the woman's gut, effectively knocking the air out of her and then sprinted toward the man who had harmed Wendy. Deciding a fast knock out would be best she jumped and delivered a hard roundhouse kick to the man's head before kneeing him in the groin. Seeing that he wouldn't move she grabbed Wendy and dragged her toward the Raijinshuu.

Xirenia jumped to her feet and screamed.

"YOU WILL PAY FOR THAT YOU WEAK LITTLE FAIRY TRASH!"

The woman reached into her corset and pulled out a gold key, causing Lucy and the rest of Team Natsu to gasp before their eyes narrowed and they went silent.

"That's right you little whore. I believe you've been searching for this, no? Well I'll tell you what. You come with me and I will consider not destroying it."

Lucy glared at the woman and her smirk only grew.

"You have to come willingly and help us with our plans. Unfortunately for you, you will lose this child too but you'd be a shitty mother anyway so it's probably better this way."

The Pradesh family watched in horror and anger as the woman stalked closer to Lucy again and there was nothing they could do to help her. Even Kaleb with his immense power and Zen who grew up cut off from his magic were unable to lift a finger to help her.

As the woman took another step closer to Lucy, Natsu lost control, END surfacing once more. Natsu lunged at the woman, snarling and claws out ready to rip her to shreds. Xirenia dodged, though just barely, and Natsu landed on the concealment mage.

As Natsu started tearing into her mages Xirenia let out a screech before turning back to Lucy only to step back in fear. Natsu's END form was frightening but the three mages now in front of her were just as terrifying if not more so.

After Natsu had lost control, Erza, Lucy, and Gray had all managed to grow enough resistance against the null mage to feel their magic again. And as soon as they could feel it they let it all out, going straight for their most powerful modes. Gray stood on Lucy's left, the temperature around him dropping to sub zero levels as his demon slaying tattoos grew to cover his left arm and the ground froze under him. Erza stood on Lucy's right, equipping straight into her Fairy Armor with her hands already on the hilt of her sword. Lucy stood in between both her friends glowing like a star in her Celestial Princess stardress. Her golden breastplate stopped just above her navel with her black high-low skirt resting low on her hips. Gold armored knee high boots, a gold belt, gold arm and wrist bands, and a gold diadem completed the look. They all looked fierce as they glared down the dark mages. It wasn't until they released their magic though and let the pressure around them build that the dark mages started to really fear for their lives.

Bix's family watched in shock as the four mages in front of them not only managed to access their magic but also unleash more power than they had ever felt before. They stared at the blonde that was the newest addition to their family in awe of both her beauty and raw magic power. They quickly turned to look at Bix though when he started cussing.

"Fucking hell! I love you babe and I want you to kick her ass, but seriously! All four of you?!

Yo Nerd! Your runes gonna hold?"

Freed looked at Bix blandly at the name before paling slightly and sighing as he realized Bickslow had a point.

"I apologize, Laxus-sama. I do not believe my runes will hold against all of Team Natsu like this."

Laxus sighed.

"It's alright, Freed. I don't think anything can hold against those four when they're together, especially when they're mad.

Bix I thought Blondie wasn't going to use this stardress and Flametard wasn't going to bring out END while she's pregnant."

Bix shrugged.

"You know how they are Bossman. Besides, she deserves to go all out against this bitch after what she did to her. We'll just have to rebuild the guild tomorrow."

The Pradesh family's eyes just about bugged out of their heads when all Laxus did was sigh in defeat. Everyone turned back to focus on the fight though when they heard Lucy let out an enraged battle cry.

"Aww is the poor little Fairy slut upset? Boo hoo. You're mine bitch."

"You see, that's where you're wrong. You seem to have forgotten one very important thing."

"And what's that? I'm not scared of you. You won't kill me."

Erza spoke first. "We're Fairy Tail."

Gray "Fairies don't kill"

Lucy "We obliterate."

All three dropped into battle stances and launched into action. Lucy went straight for Xirenia. A huge broadsword that looked to be made out of the cosmos appeared in her hands, and when she swung it stars and meteors were shot off destroying every non living object in their wake.

Xirenia watched in fear as objects around the guild exploded from the sword. Stumbling back to put a little more distance between her and the blonde, she started to call upon her magic, hoping for all she was worth that she would be able to stop the blonde in her tracks by manipulating the blonde's blood and making it boil.

As Xirenia unleashed her spell Lucy cried out in pain but refused to go down. Lucy did her best to block out the pain of her blood boiling inside her body and instead of trying to push her body through it and endanger her baby even more she let her sword disappear as she started mumbling the words to one of her greatest spells, urano metria.

Everyone watched in wonder as the sky split open, not much was left of the roof so there was a clear view as the heavens started to shine above them before planetary forms started raining down on the dark mages.

When the spell finished Lucy saw that Xirenia was unconscious on the ground and that Natsu, Erza, and Gray had taken out everyone else. A good portion of the guild would need to be fixed but that wasn't anything to worry about, they had to repair (read as "rebuild") it all the time anyway. Relief filled her as she released her stardress; though it was short lived as the pain came back full swing.

Lucy fell to the ground with a scream that made everyone's blood run cold, fear taking over when they saw her writhing in pain and clutching at her stomach. There was only one thought on everyone's mind, the baby.
