"Come on... focus... you have magic Aya..." Aya thought aloud as a soft golden glow surrounded her figure.
Her pink locks barely floated around her, but she could feel magic in her build up, albeit very slowly. She didn't want anything extravagant like actually bringing a spirit through the gate to bust her out of the room or anything like that. She just needed something to help her and the others to defeat Akito. She just needed a connection, something that can guide her to get out of the damn room.
...ucy... Lucy... can... hear me...?
"I can hear you!" Aya desperately called. "Please! Help me!"
Lucy...?! Lucy! Our connection, I can reach you!
"This voice... Loke!" Aya said in happiness. "Loke is that you!?"
You remember me!?
"I do! I remember all of you spirits!" She said. "But I still don't know about this whole Lucy thing or about anyone else that's out there."
That's okay Lucy, that's progress. It's something.
"Do you think you can help me get out of here? Why can't I summon you from the celestial world?"
You're ties to magic hasn't completely returned to you since you still don't fully remember who you are from what i can assume. Once you regain all your memories, all your powers should return to you.
Aya looked down in disappointment. "That means you can't help me... huh?"
Loke laughed and Aya could tell he was grinning. After a second, a bright flash of light came and went and the next thing Aya knew was that Loke stood in front of her with a smile of relief on his face. "Who said I couldn't help you?"
Aya gasped and hugged Loke almost immediately. "Loke! You passed through the gate!? But I thought my magic energy was still too weak?"
"True, but now that our connection is back again, I can now travel between the celestial world and here with my own magical energy again." Loke explained. "When our bond was reconnected, the spirits and I were informed of your situation which is why we understand that you are still confused as to why you don't know who to trust."
"So it's true then." Aya said. "That means that I'm really Lucy?"
Loke looked at the girl for a moment. Taking in her unsure eyes and how confused she really was about her identity crisis. He sighed and placed a hand on her shoulder. "Let's not worry about that now." He said. "Your friends need you up there. Your brother needs you."
At those words, Aya looked at him in shock. "My... my brother!?"
Suddenly, a clank was heard from above them and both mage and spirit looked up to see a piece of the ceiling open up and a piece of rope drop down. Both Aya and Loke looked at each other and knew for a fact that Akito would not do this. Loke ushered for her to stay quiet as he tugged on the rope twice, only to feel it be tugged back in return. He slowly climbed up first and was met with the back of Kyoya, who had tied the rope to a heavy desk next to him.
Once Loke had climbed out, he ushered for Aya to follow him and held the rope securely for her as she climbed out of the room slowly and quietly. When she was finally out, they closed the door from under them and peaked out of the screen door, the fairies and Akito shooting threat after threat at each other. The others just sat quietly, not knowing what to do in the situation.
When Aya scanned her eyes over the fairies and the rest of he hosts that she didn't recognize, she paused at 2 people: Tamaki and Natsu. Looking at the 2 of them, they sparked a feeling in her chest that was similar when she encountered Hikaru when they first arrived to the high school. It felt as if all time froze and she could feel tears welling up in her eyes as she heard them talk.
"You bastard... you don't know when you've been beat do you!?" Natsu growled.
"What? Are you frustrated? Angry?" Akito asked coldly. "It isn't my fault that your friend was so weak."
Those words made something in Tamaki snap, making him forget about the, now not glowing, celestial keys. "Don't you dare call my sister weak! She is strong! Independent! She knows how to shape her own life!"
Akito shifted his eyes to the blonde host and scoffed again. "Watch your tone, lowlife. If she wasn't so weak, she wouldn't have allowed herself to be captured."
"You watch your tone, commoner!" Tamaki retorted, surprising literally everyone in the room. Including Aya. "You are the one who doesn't have the slightest clue with who you are dealing with! You're only acting this way because you don't know Lucy. You only know her as the youngest child of the Suoh family. But newsflash! That girl is not just Lucy Suoh, that girl is a Heartfilia! You had kidnapped and tormented the Heartfilia Princess, Lucy Heartfilia!"
With those words, something in Aya's head cracked and her eyes widened as all her memories flashed before her eyes. The Heartfilia estate, her parents, Fairy Tail, Ouran Academy, Yuzuru, the host club, Haruhi and Tohru and the Sohmas too. It all came back to her in a rush, but it didn't hurt her at all. In fact, it lifted a weight off her chest. Lucy... she felt free. She blinked twice and continued to watch as Akito, and the rest of the Sohmas besides Yuki, looked at Tamaki in shock.
They clearly know just who the Heartfilia's are.
"Excuse me...!?" Akito asked, suddenly shaking in a more visible manner.
"Lucy..." Momiji whispered.
"That girl... she's a Heartfilia!?" Haru exclaimed.
"You've gotta be kidding me... she's also the princess Heartfilia!?" Kyo thought.
As Akito's body continued to shake, Erza placed more pressure on her blade to Akito's neck, his skin threatening to break and bleed. "What's this? Someone as high and mighty as you doesn't even know the true identity of your prisoner?" Erza taunted. "How disappointing."
"To think you didn't know Bunny Girl is the heir to the Heartfilia fortune... some head of the household you are." Gajeel said.
Loke smirked at the show the mages were giving and lucky for him he wasn't all that focused, so he was able to catch Lucy chant. "Open. Gate of the Crab. Cancer."
The lion spirit's eyes widened as he watched a golden glow form into Cancer and he stared at Lucy in shock. "Lucy I'm glad to be of service to you again, baby." Cancer whispered.
Lucy smiled softly as she nodded. "I'm sorry for making you and the others wait so long, Cancer." She apologized. "But can you change my hair to what is was before and once this is all over, we can go back to how it was before."
"I'd like that very much, baby." Cancer replied as he quietly got to work.
When Lucy turned back to Loke, she noticed his shocked face and smiled warmly again. "It's nice to finally see and fully remember you again, Loke."
"Lu-Lucy!? Is this for real right now?" Loke whispered, asking desperately while hoping it's not all a joke. "You really remember everything now?"
Cancer finished her hair off and returned to the spirit world as she nodded. "When I saw Tamaki and Natsu, and when they called me both Lucy Suoh and Lucy Heartfilia, that's when I remembered everything."
"You're back... you're really back..." He said to which she nodded in response.
"Yes... and now that I am, there will be hell to pay." She gestured for Loke to move aside and she crawled so that she was able to whisper in Kyoya's ear. "Thanks for helping us escape Kyoya. But can you and my brother move? I don't want to hurt you both with what I'm about to do."
Kyoya's eyes widened and he turned his head just barely 1/8th to the left. "Lucy...?" He whispered. "You remember who we are?"
"Yes, now move over before I hurt the both of you." Kyoya nodded and shifted and forced Tamaki to as well, though the older Suoh didn't realize it. With them out of the way, Lucy returned Loke to the spirit world and he wished her luck on what she was about to do.
Akito began to sweat slightly as his anger was getting to the best of him. "YOU'RE BLUFFING! YOU'RE JUST SAYING THAT SO I CAN BEG FOR FORGIVENESS AND RELEASE HER!? GO TO HELL!" He yelled uncontrollably. "YOU HAVE NO PROOF! THAT GIRL DOESN'T EVEN HAVE HER MEMORIES SO THERE'S NO WAY THAT-"
"Oh I think I can testify to the facts alright." Lucy said as she extended her whip, that Loke gave her before leaving, and wrapped it around his ankle before pulling him to her towering figure as he laid on the ground, everyone else, except Kyoya, shocked and happy to see her as herself.
"Lucy!" They all shouted.
"No... it can't be! You remembered!?" Akito asked.
"I did more than just remember, Akito." She said as she summoned Aries. "I escaped."
Without another word, and before he could do anything else, Akito was forced to pass out thanks to Aries' wool and Lucy hummed in satisfaction. Once that was all good and done for, everyone immediately ran and hugged her tightly, except for Team Natsu. Honey and Momiji were practically crying in her arms about how they missed her, Tohru, Haruhi, Juvia, Wendy and Carla circled around her and welcomed her back in absolute relief.
Yuki and Kyo patted her head and congratulated her for knocking Akito out without so much effort and apologized on Hatori's behalf since he was under Akito's orders. The Hitachiin twins were doing the same thing as Honey and Momiji, but instead of crying about how much they missed her, Kaoru kept going on about how Hikaru was practically in panic mode and was completely devastated that she was gone, which made both of them blush madly. Kyoya, Mori, Gajeel, Lily and Haru patting her on the back for what she did flawlessly.
Finally Tamaki came and hugged the life out of her, apologizing that he had come too late and he wished that he could've saved her earlier. But Lucy only shook her head and pulled back from the hug while smiling. "It doesn't matter how long you took or how you did it." She said. "What matters is that you never gave up in finding me in the 6 months I was gone."
With those words, Tamaki returned to his playful self and made puppy dog eyes as his tears flowed and snot fell from his nose, making the rest of the host club very happy to have their same old Tamaki back. "Lucy..." He cried while sniffling.
She chuckled and hugged him again, only tighter. "Gheez, even though you're my big brother, you're still a crybaby."
Sorry for the wait ^^" So here's one long chapter and a really short chapter. Next chapter is going to be the final one.
