Chapter 3~Training
They awoke in a place that looked the infirmary but a lot bigger. Wendy walked into the room and had felt magic power from right behind her. The energy they felt was strong. It rivaled Erza's. Lucy walked into the room with a pale-yellow sundress on. She looked a lot different but the same still. She had the same physical features. She now had hair that shone like gold under the sun, but kind of shimmered under light, her big brown eyes appeared more gold. But they stayed the same otherwise. The thing that stood out most was, now on the back of her neck, was a star.
"Hi guys." She was as beautiful as ever, with the same beautiful voice, Natsu thought. Everyone had jumped on her, but Natsu and Wendy. He still had to forgive Lucy, but needed to do it when he were alone.
"We missed you Lucy! Nothing was enjoyable without you around, not even cake! Hit me if you will!" Erza held out a sword and Lucy pushed it down
"Don't leave like that we were worried sick! Me and Flame brain even started to fight less!" Gray got pulled from her by Juvia. Juvia took his spot.
"Love riv – Lucy, Juvia was in tears when you left! Juvia flooded the guild
a lot!" Juvia was in tears.
"Bunny girl, you sure did bring the guild down!" Gajeel patted her head.
"What can I say? We don't talk much, but you're still apart of Fairy tail..." Laxus patted her back.
"I'm so sorry Lu-chan! I'm sorry!" Levy was soaking her dress with tears.
"Good to see you Lucy. I'm glad Pisces was right!" Yukino smiled.
"Your guild is still at the top, but they are miserable without you!" Sting pulled away, dragging Lector with him
"Yeah, they are!" Lector flew up, pumping his fist.
"Good to see your well." Rogue also pulled away, with Frosch on his head.
"Fro thinks so too!" Frosch fell off and was caught by Rogue.
"Guys, I missed you all so much. I'm sorry for just leaving like that." Lucy had tears streaming down her face.
"We should be saying that. We believed her over you. You are more important to us than she is." Erza said crying and hugging her.
"Sorry to interrupt, but I need to take everyone to," She paused, "Oh okay, but Natsu with me. So, come a long!" Wendy took everyone but Natsu out of the room.
They all left and Natsu decided it was a good time to apologize."Luce, I-"
"Save it Natsu. I don't need to hear it. Let's just say you took me out of a dark place, and I'm glad I had people to stop me from re entering that place, but I need to fulfill a promise I once made." She looked towards him with a small smile on her face. "It hurts, you calling me weak. Happy told me and you kicking me off the team. I've gotten over it. Now it's time for me to fulfill a promise I made you long ago. A bit later, okay? Let's go catch up with the others" She smiled at him. He wasn't sure why this one made him feel a bit queasy.
In the dining room…
"Welcome to your year long training. Don't worry about it Master already knows. I will be introducing you to you mentors for the next year right now, then we will have dinner. When I call your name, you are to step forward and you will be introduced!" They all looked surprised as Lucy made the announcement.
"Erza, meet Rio, the swords dragon! She will help you improve and strengthen 'The Knight'." They stepped forward and smiled and then walked off into the dining hall. Rio had long black hair and blue eyes. She wore armour like Erza.
"Gray, meet Cannon, the ice dragon! He'll help you be able to keep your ice from not melting longer, and to create new objects out of ice." They walked off. Cannon wore an Ice blue plain shirt. He had on black ripped jeans.
"Juvia, meet Drala the water dragon! She'll teach you new moves, and help you strengthen your existing ones." They followed Gray and Cannon rather quickly into the dining hall. She had on a Long sleeved dark blue dress. It reached her knees, and she wore matching flats.
"Gajeel, say hi to Metalicanna. You'll do what you did when you were younger."
Gajeel 'tch'ed and walked off with him. He looked like an older Gajeel, with rusty coloured hair, and eyebrows.
"Laxus, this is Thunder the Lightning dragon! He'll teach you some secret arts."
They were both quite shocked! Ha ha. Thunder had on a yellow flannel, and black sweatpants. He had hair like the younger version of the master.
"Levy, this is Sarna the knowledge or script dragon! She'll help use less magic."
She started asking Sarna a lot of questions as they left! She had green hair and pink eyes. She wore a dress like Levy, in green.
"Yukino, you will be training with my mom Layla. Mom, please don't embarrass me!" They walked off, and Lucy could hear her mom telling stories of herself as a baby.
"Sting, Rogue you know Weisslogia and Skiadrum." They looked at them in disbelief and walked into the dining hall muttering something.
"Lector, Frosch you will be accompanying them." Weisslogia had on a white top and denim shorts. He had white hair. Skiadrum had black hair and wore a letterman jacket and jeans.
"Natsu, come we have to go to the dining hall now." Natsu could tell he was disappointed "Wendy, Grandine, and Igneel are already in the dining hall!"
