Author's Announcement:
This is mainly around Lucy view with Fluttershy, and Sunset Shimmer. She will be mainly on most of the chapter, along with Lucy on POV's. There are also some parts of one of the other threats, and the sirens in normal views. And if you're wondering at the end of the last chapter, well let's just say that, it's after someone, and leave it at that.
Also Lucy might accidentally reveal herself, and come out a bit more, for you see at the moment she seems fine as a little girl, but really she is still mentally abused a bit as well as emotionally. Also in this chapter I might do a flashback a bit with her from certain actions and a relapse a bit in front of not only the two girls, but a new one they 'know so well'. And you might be surprised about the plot in this chapter as well.
This chapter might be slightly longer then the last one, and if you noticed any mistakes, blame corrector a bit. And as I stated before, I don't own any franchise (Anime, books, etc.) except the ones I made, mainly my OC's. and one more thing: do any of you guys know about the demon sorcerers a bit (Jackie Chan Adventures), because in this chapter one would be accidentally summoned by Lucy, and sticks by her as a familiar, but I'll leave you all guessing which one. She will also gain three duel spirits form Yu-Gi-Oh, which will be explained in this chapter as well. And some familiars to go with it.

Lucy's POV; With Fluttershy and Sunset in the School Cafeteria:
I noticed that both Fluttershy and Miss Sunset, after my aunts left us that is, were simply smiling at me and I only gave them a small yet shy smile, with my hands placed together in front of me back; I also was nervous.
Then they sat down on one of the lunch table areas, and Miss Sunset motioned for me to join them, and I did after I grabbed my backpack as well as at the same time, zipped it up.
It was still awkward silence for a few moments until Fluttershy then gently spoke up and also asked me kindly with her placing her own hands on the table together while looking at me, "Well… What do you like to do besides reading Lucy?" I looked at her and answered to her shyly, but I mostly mumbled in shyness though in which they took notice. So Fluttershy kindly as well as gently repeated her own words to me once again, to which I said my words louder this time for them to hear, "I don't know…" I simply stated with confusion as I tilted my head looking at them both, fidgeting a little as I then told them shyly, as well, "I-I never had any friends before."
They looked at me in minor shock at this news. They must have thought my aunts were kidding around briefly about that, but it seems they were wrong this time.
They quickly looked to themselves, then back to me as Miss Sunset then asked; with minor concern now in her voice, but also with warmth as well, "You never had any friends at all, Lucy?" I simply just shook my head no, to her, and then sighed as I looked down.
I then after; a few moments then responded to her, still being shy as I also slowly looked to her with slight hope; but sadness mixed within my own eyes, which they also took notice, once again, "Well Miss Sunset. Where I was before I… arrived here, my former family decided they had enough of..." I trailed off as they grew more concerned from what I was trying to say, and Fluttershy now asked me with a worried look; with a mixture of both concern and kindness in her eyes, "Enough of what?" I looked at them then with sadness as I didn't want them to know anything... but for some reason, I felt I could trust them both and get to know them a little more better, than my three aunts. I answered her softly since I also closed my eyes, so I wouldn't see any of their reactions from what I would state, "A Freak. I was mainly called a freak by them since I-I was a baby living with them, in En-England. And what my aunts told Miss Luna and Celestia, was a slight lie." I heard Miss Sunset and Fluttershy was in real shock this time from my words, as I quickly heard small gasps from both of their lips.
I then explained myself more to them, but not giving them all the details within at least a half-hour doing so. With most of the details out, I suddenly feel better or even lighter within me somehow; like something was now off my chest, as I now felt a small amount of warmth at my heart, again. Then all of a sudden I was hugged by someone who I unknowingly flinched from, and I then felt my hair being gently brushed.
I now unknowingly did something I blushed afterwards; I began to purr like a large house cat. Then I heard them both gasp slightly in surprise from what I heard while I opened my eyes now in confusion to them, and then looked to what they were gasping at. It was my tail, and it was waving back and forth as I also turned to them with a sheepish look, mixed with slight panic; not knowing how they were going to react about it at all.
"Is-Is that a tail Lucy?" Miss Sunset Shimmer finally asked me; with strange yet confused eyes, and I also noticed they moved somehow from the previous spot, to be now sitting in-between me as I purred once more from Fluttershy softly brushing my tail this time, making me get a somewhat glazed-look, mixed with a dazed face. For some reason it felt something good flowing within me that was as best as I can describe it... calming. Both teens took notice of my reaction to this as Fluttershy quickly stopped petting my tail, and quickly placed her hands on her lap.
I then wasn't dazed anymore and looked at them in slight confusion as to what happened. "Why did you stop that Fluttershy, it felt good for some reason?" I noticed that she gasped cutely at me as well as she then did something weird, Fluttershy squealed softly as she hugged me, without her seeing I went stiff once more, from her gentle hug.
Miss Sunset; Who I didn't notice, was thinking clearly to herself as I was hugged by Fluttershy with her also noticing my flinch this time, gently, making me close my eyes in brief comfort from her gentle hug now.
There is something going on from what Lucy is explaining to us right now… it sounds as if she … is… I didn't know Miss Sunset widened her eyes in slight realization as she then looked at both Fluttershy and I while asking me with a strange tone in her own voice, that I can't quite make out. But I thought it sounded like... concern for me? "Lucy," I turned to her with a look and asked her as well, "What is it Miss Sunset?" "From what you're telling us, you're… former family was trying to hide something from you…" She hesitated at this, and I was giving her a curious look as if to ask her silently to 'Continue Please', and she did, "And I think I might have figured it out. Did you feel anything when those events happen though?"
I felt Fluttershy let go of me for a brief moment, but my friend now had her hands on both of my arms. Though while I began to think about what Miss Sunset asked of me, my tail unknowingly, and gently wrapped around Miss Sunset's arm that was close to me and she then not only had a confused but awed look at what my tail was doing, but she unknown to me at the time, felt a slight warmth in her heart at this unknown gesture, for an odd reason.
I then answered her, not even noticing my tail doing this, "Well… It felt like something was coming out of me. Like something electric mixed with some kind of water, when it happens. But it feels like it's from all over me, in small waves." From my own answer as well as from Miss Sunset's looks, she now knew what might be wrong with a freak like me, and also from Fluttershy's questioned look to Miss Sunset as she also from what I had to guess, wanted to know what she thought of this, "I believe you used magic every time they did that."
That got Fluttershy to look at both her and I in slight shock, and then placed an arm around me as I then got a even-more dazed look again in my eyes and I now began to also tremble without knowing. I didn't notice anything at all.
It was then at this time I began to relieve one of my worst memories from them, the Dursely's. Also some of the good things I kept with me in my bag saved me somewhat, and later on when I returned with my aunts to get it at the home I was living with them at Canterlot; as we found out they were still gone to my relief since I didn't want them to be beaten by Uncle Vernon. Although all of my personal items teleported into my new one, as well as some that they hid from my own mother from their attic. As well as a note by Aunt Petunia when she wasn't charmed at the time to explain her sad actions to me... before she went under again.
At least from the pain this memory gave me, I was able to at least survive, as I have something to prove I did somehow.
One year ago, Surrey, England; two weeks before being homeschooled once again; October 16th 1997:
I was enjoying something I was now watching from the kids at school today, for once.
Someone brought one of the new IPad screen things into school for Show and Tell today, and was letting all of us use it, even me. Even though most of the kids avoid me thanks to Dudley and his gang, as well as making his gang only call me "Freak" all the time. I was excited about still since the owner showed random videos of some shows he likes to watch, and one of them or all of them had the use of "Magic" from the heroes and others within their series to which for some reason, I filed quickly within my head for unknown reasons.
Also someone brought some game cards, and I was also given one for free from a random kid who told me he hadn't like her and the other two cards he then gave to me also after saying that.
It was from a franchise I thought I heard from when I accidentally overheard Dudley talking about, it was called Yu-Gi-Oh I think, and the three cards I got were all human-like girls. They were in perfect conditions though, as if he only received them recently.
The first one was a teenage girl that was dressed as a sorceress with a staff, her outfit though revealed her chest somewhat, and she had slight developed curves. Her robe-like dress showed her legs also as her attire was also mainly light purple and dark blue. She appeared to be at least 15 or 16 years of age with honey-colored hair and sapphire-cyan eyes. She was called the Dark Magician Girl: Maya, and I found out from the boy when I asked later-on that she was in fact the secret younger sibling to the Dark Magician Girl from the series, but they only produced a rare few as they were considered very valuable to those that are lucky enough to get one, despite from what the boy told me as well that they didn't want her in the anime at all cause it would be considered strangely odd at the time.
The second card was also another teenage girl that was exactly 15 years old with red-like skin that appeared to be scaled. She also had an outfit that showed off all of her feminine curves in black latex, and she also had medium-sized dragon wings and a tail that also matched her skin tone. She also wielded two dagger-like blades that sparked briefly with electricity in each hand, and she also resembled Maya completely in the face, which was heart-shaped like mine, but she was called Draconic Girl: Luka, Daughter of Corrin. It was said from the boy once again; later-on, this girl was supposed to be with the unknown deck of what the game-card company dubbed since it failed to proceed from becoming a Mythic Deck, of sorts. Like Maya, it was considered rare to get her as well, in a random pack of cards.
The last card was also a girl, but she was around a few years older than me; agewise, in a complete ninja-like outfit, and she had reddish-pink hair with the same eyes; exactly like me. She also had a metallic plate on her shoulders and some parts of her armor to which was mainly mixed with red and violet colors. Also onto the left-side of her was an empty scabbard but in her right hand though, was a sword with runes etched onto the blade itself. She was called Ninja Storm: Sakura, The Everlasting Blossom. Her story from what the boy lastly told me as he was a Yu-Gi-Oh fanatic... Whatever that means, was not only considered a very rare and hard to get card, but was a experiment at the time to include anime cards into the game itself for a supposed project called: Project Anime-Cross. though like the deck and having Maya in the show, never succeed, as they went overhead by said owners to proceed with what they wanted.
I now however noticed my cousin, Dudley, was looking at my three new cards I received from the boy I didn't get to know, as he didn't even tell me his name, before he went away to his other friends.
I quickly hid them as a result to that familiar look he now gave me, to which also was making him scowl at me, at the same time. When I did that, I didn't know I unknowingly sent them into my bag at home; without my notice, from my magic at the time.
After school though, he demanded I give him the three new cards I got from that boy, and this time I did something very foolish when he searched my entire body and schoolbag; to which I regretted instantly afterwards, "No, they're mine as you don't deserve them! After all you're simply a big, fat, bloody pig!" I exclaimed, then just realized what I just said to him, and quickly covered my mouth.
I then began to get panicked, at his sudden angry look, then he jumped onto me, and quickly punched very hard many times on my own ribs; with myself frozen as he did so. I began fearing him within moments as he was now grinning at me wickedly, with each hit.
I was still stiff and also not responsive, as I was in my own fear. So he then decided to drag me forcefully back to home; by my long hair, with people not noticing at all, and then the next few moments I knew, I was beaten worse by my Uncle Vernon with his leather belt.
Sadly my Aunt Petunia wasn't at home at all; if she was, she would stop it as she deems it isn't right to hit girls yet lets them get away with it, with her struggling of course. From what I always saw her do most of my young life. Though she only sends me out to the garden as punishment, as she unlike these two, was kind, and like I know, mainly stepped back as the two do what they want to me. I also knew it was as if, she is struggling yet was forced to not do anything at all; it as as if, she was being forced to let them do this to me.
Then suddenly, I felt something quickly go into the middle of my chest with sudden pain, and when I looked with now blearily yet still clear eyes, I was quickly shocked as I then felt my breathing lessen because of it. It was a large kitchen knife, and I was shocked who did that as it was my own cousin, and the wound he caused was slowly bleeding out.
I felt even more out of breath as he shoved it in more before slowly letting it out, seeing my "red juice" on the blade itself when it came-out with a small sickening plop, and I faint quickly as I knew I might be at a better place than with them, with myself now passing out.
When I woke up as I thought I was at the better place from what church that my... family goes to says we end-up at. I was sadly disappointed yet realized I was still alive, and I was somehow all healed up. When I looked I saw the scar, as it was a ugly 'X' shape on my chest area where he stabbed me, and I guess Dudley also made a bigger wound somehow.
It was then I was told later on if there was anything mentioned of the word "Magic"; after Dudley explained why this happened today, I would be beaten worse than ever before.
So I did what my heart told me to in complete fear: never hear that word, ever again.
Present Time:
I was dazed in memory, after many of the upcoming memories that kept going threw my own mind; by both my Uncle Vernon and Dudley, until I was shaking so bad I didn't realize what I was doing when Miss Sunset began to approach me.
I quickly ran to a random corner and then hunched down in a small ball of complete fear, and began rocking back and forth.
It was like I wasn't myself, and at the same time I was myself. I just couldn't explain it as it felt like I was all alone in the entire world as I was doing what was currently going on right now. I also felt like I was also slowly getting trapped within my own mind as well, and somehow blinded as I then weakly said or thought within it, Someone… please… help me please… I was now after a few minutes was now within a very dark place, and I got very scared.
I began to call out to not only my aunts, but to Miss Sunset who I also briefly called her Mommy as well, by accident, until I was grabbed suddenly and I now saw to my growing fear; as I was forcibly turned around, from seeing within the darkness... a pair of glowing red-eyes staring right at me, as I quickly screamed with it echoing from whatever place this was.
Sunset Shimmers POV:
Fluttershy and I was truly concerned even more after Lucy wasn't paying attention after I said what I just told the little girl. So I quickly decided to get up and then feel Lucy's head for a fever or ask her what was currently wrong, since Lucy was also shaking uncontrollably.
But before I could, her tail instantly went around her waist like a furred belt, and she suddenly took off to one of the corners here randomly within the cafeteria mumbling to herself. I now looked at my friend Fluttershy as she in-turn looked worried back to me from what I could tell from her face.
We then went quickly over to Lucy who was now rocking back and forth, and she wasn't responsive at all with us both trying to get her attention. Lucy then said words that made Fluttershy's and my heart drop briefly into not only shock, but sadness and sympathy. "Freaks shouldn't say magic, freaks shouldn't say magic…" It was like she was on auto-pilot from something that truly hurt her; not only extremely but painfully as well as I then saw a pink yet jagged 'X' like scar; from what I could tell, made by a knife of sorts, was on her upper-middle chest while Lucy was also currently moving back and forth.
I quickly placed that for later, as both of our concerns at this very moment is trying to get Lucy out of this horrid state she was in.
I now turned to Fluttershy, and quickly told her, in a surprised tone of sudden protectiveness in my voice, "Go, we need one of her aunts here quickly. I'll keep an eye on her." My friend only nodded and took off quickly as she could out of this Cafeteria and went to find them, with the double-doors closing hard behind her in Fluttershy's quick sprint. I turned back to Lucy quickly yet softly, who was still doing what the little girl has been doing, for at least five minutes or so: still repeating those very words to me, without recognition.
I don't know who could have done this to her, but I hope they burn in hell for this. I thought in rage for a few moments, and then I was surprised at myself thinking of this in minor shock.
I from what I then felt I was very protective of her, like a true protective mother would be to a child, and I bet this was what the feelings her aunts might have with Lucy. But from what she told us, Lucy somehow trusted me more than her three aunts from what I looked in her eyes as well as her confessions to both of us from all Lucy recently said to both myself and Fluttershy, but I also felt it was mostly to me; for some reason, in more honest-based trust.
It was at least three minutes later of listening to Lucy sadly repeating those same words that the double-doors quickly slammed open; with a loud thud, and I looked to the doors to find it was not only Fluttershy, but both Adagio and Sonata; two of Lucy's three aunts. Both aunts took quick notice as they now came beside me with them now tried to get to Lucy like I have done or tried to do this entire time, when we were quickly not only shocked but stunned dumbly as a strange and invisible-like electrified barrier that I didn't see before, now showed itself and was keeping Lucy in a caged-like bubble. Fluttershy was then by my side in minor shock as to what she was witnessing herself in slight fear for Lucy.
"Where did this strange barrier come from!" Exclaimed Adagio to all of us, as she looked at Lucy in worry from her state of mind right now. The two aunts also then froze quickly from what they were just now hearing from Lucy, and both aunts sharply yet gently turned to me, with Adagio also asking; with her face showing she was still worried, "How long has our niece been saying this? It seems like she…" I simply nodded and then told her, noticing that they had looks of complete shock on them from just that sentence for some reason. I told them both what Lucy told us then as we also tried to still at the same time, get Lucy out of her 'Ball' still with little to no success.
It was after I explained, which took at least or close to ten minutes or so, I noticed that their eyes went red somehow with rage, truly, but calmed down then as Sonata looked back to Lucy who was still doing what she was doing still, and back to all of us worried even more, "Adagio, what should we do. It's like she can't hear us at all, and this barrier is blocking us to try and even get to her." Adagio nodded to her sister and then turned to me with not only worry now, but fear in her eyes.
I gulped and was about to respond until we all then felt something wasn't right around the room… or within the room. It was as if something recently showed itself. We all turned slowly to look behind us and saw a shadow-like mass with yellow eyes with it not only looking at us, but at Lucy with a strange gleam to them.
"Sunset what is that thing?" Exclaimed Fluttershy in complete fear to me, as my friend went behind me for protection, I suppose. I turned to look at her briefly before looking back at whatever this thing was and only said to her then, with confusion mixed with slight fear in my own voice, "I don't know Fluttershy, but this-this 'Thing' wants Lucy, from the way it's looking at her."
Then we all quickly heard a demonic chuckle coming from the mass of darkness itself as it turned its eyes to me then, and then spoke something that chilled us all to the bone, "Very perceptive of you fools. Seems this girl is my key to return as well as that fool, Ansemakku. I can taste her pure fear at this very moment. It is... lovely, from just being in her presence. My hired was well worth it." I looked back to her, and Lucy had her eyes on me as they were still glazed, but they were slowly returning to normal in small amounts, though they were still in complete fear. It was like she was silently asking me for help from the way she was looking right at me, into my very soul.
I then felt something within me felt like I unlocked something all of a sudden; something that made me think of Lucy as something more as a new friend, but more as a someone I want to protect from harm, and love her as a… "Mommy, help me please!" I was now shocked and it seemed I wasn't the only one, as Adagio turned to me as well with the same look on her face. It was like she had just heard Lucy as well, calling her that title.
The thing noticed this and growled briefly since it looked like it was going to charge at us, but it was then stopped as a bright flash of light then appeared in front of all of us, and we had to shield our eyes; as a quick result to this.
Once the glow died down though, in front of us in a fighting stance was a gold and silvered armored person, who quickly turned to us since he had no helm so we could see his face quite clearly, and back to the mass of darkness as he also spoke quickly and harshly at the mass, "You will not take her Zallon. It was bad enough what you did to Sombra on that world so long ago, so leave and never come back at all." I was confused at the first name he spoke of, but I was then frozen in complete inward shock as I thought in fear; as I quickly thought to myself. Sombra, as in The Sombra, the pony who almost ruled the Crystal Empire back at home?
It now chuckled wickedly at not only at him, but at us all as while it then looked back to Lucy, and then it gained a mouth with a wicked set of teeth; with it now speaking coldly at us, "I will not be denied of a child with such delightful pain… Such agony to feed off from, from tons of torment in this child's entire life. Her fear is also lovely to taste, as much as the hearts of my own victims I use-up when their tasks are done. I WILL NOT BE DENIED!" It began to grow in a massive size very quickly; almost taking half the room itself as it charged right at us, and then a shield made of light blocked us from its sudden attack as well as also somehow, dissolving the barrier that was around Lucy.
This made not only I and Adagio hug her, but finally able to touch Lucy at this moment of time, as she shivered from what her glazed eyes were showing. Adagio at the same time looked at me in surprise from my small actions, but barely accepted the fact I was also hugging her niece.
The knight I take it, looked to us; struggling with the barrier he conjured with what I could tell wasn't the same magic I was used to and quickly told us, "You need to get through to Lucy as she is suffering right now in her heart against her own memories, at this very moment by someone. If she called you two out, then you need to enter her heart and bring Lucy out of this dreadful state. I'll hold off Zallon as long as I can." He pushed back at the mass, as Zallon did the same back; making the man struggle briefly, as a result.
Adagio now shouted to him as some kind of unknown wind began to pick up around the mass, trying to push more into the barrier of light to get to Lucy, "How are we supposed to do that Aeroza! We couldn't get through to her earlier!" He looked back to us, and then back at Zallon as he just shouted in reply while also shoving the mass more away from us briefly; before slamming on the barrier, "Coax her to come out and use your hearts to call out to Lucy!"
Sonata and Fluttershy came to us as they were standing and not sure what to do at all, but thought to themselves that this might help, and they placed their hands on our shoulders in support; my friends hand on mine, and Sonata's on Adagio's. Somehow I saw Lucy's eyes were clear yet she was still out of it as well as her aunts next to me that noticed, look right at us as if, Lucy was truly looking right into our very souls.
The mass; Zallon looked at Lucy in slight surprise and then sudden rage. Zallon then shouted, still being pushed back, "No, I will not be denied by the powers of love... LET ME THROUGH!" We felt as if Aeroza was smirking at the mass as he now replied back, with a gleam in his own eyes now as he quickly stated to the mass of darkness, "No-can-do Zallon. I can sense Lucy is becoming aware to them now as we speak." He turned to us and shouted, pushing the mass back once more with force, "Touch her arm with the runes; Call to Lucy from your hearts!" I and Fluttershy was confused by what this man meant, but Adagio rolled her nieces long-black sleeve Lucy was covering her arm with, and we were shocked that she had three rune-like colored tattoos embedded on her arm, and Adagio placed her free hand then on it.
I don't know why I did this, but I did the same and I then felt myself being drained somehow, and yet off.
We were somewhere new now; we were both now alone together, and from what we both saw was a complete pitch-black area within a platform of some kind. Somehow though, we could clearly see ourselves as we had a light-like aura showing on our frames.
We were both still confused about where we were currently, until we felt cold fear go through us as we both then heard a familiar voice, screaming in pain out for not only my name, but Adagio's. "Lucy! Where are you Lucy?" I shouted out loud along with her aunt, and her shouts along with mine echoed briefly all around this strange place. I although felt as if… I had been here before, but I placed that into my mind for later as I shouted out as well once more, cupping my hands this time, "Lucy answers us!"
We then both froze in place as we suddenly felt a cold chill go through us, and then a raspy voice spoke behind us suddenly as it was also demonic to say the least, "She can't hear you at the moment, Zallon who hired me is foolish to think he can be reformed once more from just her and her alone… However I can't have you trying to interfere fools." We turned our heads quickly and gasped at what we both saw when we now faced it, and I glanced at Adagio to see feared familiarity in her eyes at this thing. It was a cloaked lizard-like dragon at least nine feet in height, and he was wielding a sword made of darkness in his right hand, and in the other in a firm yet struggling grip was… "Lucy!" We both shouted at the same time as Lucy was struggling in the creatures grip now stopped at our voices, and looked at us in hope and wanting; now after realizing we were both now here.
The creature then smirked at Adagio, not bothered by Lucy as she resumed struggling in his grip again as he then said to her, making her shiver from his words, "I told you I would be back to finish the job that you and your sisters interrupted me for. So I'm going to have some fun killing you within this girl's heart, which I was given the ability to enter by my master for my... Hired task." I noticed that Lucy went wide eyed at this as she then now shouted to the creature, struggling even more in fear and worry for not herself anymore but to the both of us, "You can't! I won't let you-" She was quickly slapped in the face by something quick we couldn't see, but left a can-clearly-see red mark on Lucy's face that stayed only for a few seconds, before fading.
This for some reason angered me slowly yet greatly, and I took noticed it also affected her aunt as well; from seeing this. "Silence you pathetic girl, or I will make you relive your worst memory-based fears once more of your entire life!" He shouted at Lucy, who began to whimper in response to his own words.
We looked at him in sudden realization then, more on Adagio's then me as she responded with a finger pointing at him, and now sharply glaring at the thing, "You did this to her!" He simply grinned as a response, making us now know he did this entire thing and only chuckled as a very long tail suddenly tripped us, making Lucy scream in fear for our safety.
I tried to stand back up, but I was then tripped once more. He wickedly laughed at us once again as he kept knocking us down repeatedly, causing us to be in pain after a while. Lucy meanwhile looked at me and her aunt in fear at us still, and then I froze over suddenly as he then grinned wickedly once more at mostly me this time as if to say silently 'There isn't anything you could do' look, to me, and began to twist her arm briefly before he began to squeeze it, causing Lucy to have tears form in her eyes as she kept silent; even though she was in pain.
This quickly as well as strangely angered me more then it should, as I suddenly felt now something within me; from seeing this then, as whatever it as finally snapped away; like a barrier or seal was finally broken. A seeable fire-like aura then surrounded my entire form as I then charged at the surprised monster; by instinct, and Adagio quickly caught Lucy after he began to fall off the platform from losing his firm grip he had on her, shouting out his name loudly to us then as a result, "This isn't the last of Frandas, mortal fools, as next time I will be worse than before!"
I noticed Lucy then looked at me in awe instead of fear now as she also at the same time innocently asked me, with a tilt with her head to the side within Adagio's arms, who also was in shock at my form at the moment as well, "Mommy, why are you on fire?"
I looked to Lucy now in minor shock at her words, and so did Adagio. I now began to stutter as I asked her with wide eyes, my flames quickly fading as well as going away without me noticing it, "Wh-What did you sa-say Lucy?" She innocently looked at Adagio for a few brief moments, and then back to me with a confused expression on her face as Lucy simply answered, "Mommy? You don't like that Mommy?" I turned to her aunt, as she was still shocked. Before we could ask Lucy why she called me that title, she suddenly vanished into sparkled dust that made us blink a few moments, and then began to panic from her vanishing from our sight.
That is until a voice said calmly to us in a slight mature but young woman's voice with a British accent, "She is only calling you Mother then the other girl is because Lucille bonded more to you then her within a short amount of time. So you most likely received the Familiar Mother Bonding (1), even though Lucy isn't truly your child by blood-adoption." We looked all over the place since it seemed to be echoing everywhere when she spoke, until we heard the voice chuckle a few moments and simply told us then, "Look down on the platform."
We did and were shocked to find out a woman was now smiling at us within a portrait of sorts, a portrait we didn't notice either appeared or showed while we were probably confronting that dragon-thing as I dubbed him.
The young-adult female had red hair that was wavy as well as slightly long to her shoulders, and she was also wearing a green shirt, since the picture on the ground only showed her top-half. She also seemed to be around or at least in her early twenties, and she had the same kind of eyes as Lucy. But on her forehead was a, dare I say it, a cutie mark like the ponies had in my former home. The mark was a red sun that had a dark-blue crescent moon within and next to the moon within the sun was a silver star. Her mark was in the middle of the forehead, and not on the sides or any place else.
"She only returned to the Realm of Living, so don't panic because of what I'm telling you is true." She told us gently now while crossing her arms then, and turned her head to Adagio as she had a softened look as well as in her eyes then, and gently stated to her at the same time, "Hello Puffy, it's been a long time." I looked at Adagio as I saw she had a stumped facial expression while looking at the female.
Adagio now weakly asked, still looking at the portrait in slight shock mixed with disbelieve at to what she was now seeing, "Lenora?" The woman, Lenora, simply nodded a gentle yes and smiled at her as she also said, "Ya sis, it's me." I looked at them both and I then mainly looked to Adagio as I asked her in both minor wonder and confusion, "Whose Lenora?" She turned to me slightly, not taking her eyes of the woman, like Adagio wasn't ever going to see her again for a long time, "She-She is my sister and-" the woman on the floor interrupted her as she finished for the teen girl, "I'm Lucy's mother."
This time I was in shock at this. I looked at them both with wide eyes and I then quietly asked Lenora, knowing who she was now, knowing that she was also killed from what I recalled from some nightmare's Lucy had from her explanation, to both myself and Fluttershy earlier, "How are you here then?" She sadly chuckled from my own question to her and then softly looked to the both of us as she also told us sadly, "The curse didn't affect me like it did before with all the others. Somehow I was able to be placed within my own daughter's' heart. This is by the way, is where we are, as we speak." We both then turned to each other, and then back to her as we both exclaimed slightly loud, "Her heart!?"
Lenora chuckled at our random outburst and only nodded once more a simple yes, and then she sighed to herself. "I can't explain this, but somehow my daughter when she was hit, almost died to the curse itself. Until I was strangely fused with her own heart; Despite myself being reborn in my life, with a surprised twin as a result. Anyways besides that, I'm like a combination of being her heart, and a spirit, at the same time."
We then gave her confused expressions as she only lightly laughed at this, but sadly still since Lenora knows she couldn't hug or touch her little sister, while in this state, "I know it's confusing to me as well. Though Aeroza might somehow explain it in the book he gave to Lucy. In fact, he somehow knew of my own fate, but didn't say anything because there wasn't anything he could have done for me. What happened on that night had to happen in order for my daughter to live and somehow me as well?" She was uncertain about her words at the end, but Lenora then looked down and we both saw a single tear begin to fall down gently on her face in a small streak or line on her left side of Lenora's face, and looked to us then, "But my husband he… he couldn't be brought here with me." Adagio looked to her in both pity and sympathy, as so did I.
If I had someone I truly loved, and couldn't be with them at all, that would hurt very much.
A flash then appeared behind us, and it was Aeroza when we turned. He noticed not only us, but Lenora as well as he softly gazed to her in sadness and replied to the image, "If you want to know the reason why that is. James told me not to do so. For you see: the urse truly affected him, but not you; because of you not truly being from this world, my dear Lenora, even if the fates bestowed upon you a twin as a result of their magical influence, at work." Lenora looked to him in shock, as so did the both of us.
He quickly placed a hand up before we could speak and just simply smiled gently at her, and looked to us briefly before looking back to the image in kindness and a vibe telling her she must or will listen or else, at the same time, "You may not believe this, but you will be able to become your daughters Keybakto. For you see, she would of have gotten a Keyblade, but her being a Mixed Heart; like I am, Lucy will end up getting that instead. And believe it or not, you are not the only one ending up as her spirit; for her future weapon to use. You will probably be the main one though, since you fused with her heart to help her live."
We were all confused by what he meant, and he simply chuckled and only waved some energy he formed from within his hands at Lenora's frame on the ground, and the portrait glowed, and then an even more brighter flash was then shown. Adagio and I then had to cover our eyes and when it dimmed we were stunned to see she, Adagios sister and Lucy's real mother, was out of it completely.
Lenora was now wearing armor, and on her right-side was a strange looking blade. Her armor was like Aeroza's as well, but it was also green mixed with red yet to our shock, she also had angel-like wings that matched her hair, and they vanished a few moments afterwards, in flames.
Lenora turned to look at him in pure shock, and disbelief at the same time on her face as he chuckled from this, and simply motioned to both Adagio and I. She however quickly got the hint, and then quickly hugged her little sister with Adagio doing the same thing; both confused as well as happy to be hugging each other. As they pulled apart, he began to channel some of his energy once again, and created something out of nothing.
It was an orb of some kind, a clear orb that was the size of a baseball.
He simply tossed it to Lenora as he made another and did the same to Adagio as she too caught hers, they were both looking at their orbs he made with both of them in awe now and slight confusion still on their faces. He simply said to them both then a short sentence, "A gift."
"What is it?" Adagio asked him after a few moments looking at it, Adagio and Lenora looking at their orbs once more as Aeroza chuckled once again, both of them giving him a look as he told them carefully, but gently, "These two spheres is what better known as communication orbs, and I'm allowing it to be used by not only the both of you, but those on the outside. Now don't think I give those away too often, because the ingredients to make them are very costly." They were surprised by this and before they could thank him, he simply held up his hand and just answered with a soft smile to them both, making it awkward for me listening as well as viewing some family matters at work, "Least I could do, for not doing anything during your time of need, Lenora or Lily, whichever you prefer."
He then now turned to me with the same smile, and as he then began approaching me. I was nervous as the two sisters looked at me then with confusion on their faces as he placed a kind hand on my shoulder, and leaned his head to my right side and whispered gently to only allow me to hear him and not them, "You will be getting a few gifts for not only you my dear, but also your friends. Later on down the road for them that is for their own gifts from myself. But you current one of the many gifts I bestowed upon you, like Adagio already has; your Lucy's main mother, while Adagio will eventually as time passes, to be her second."
I looked to him with widened eyes at his words to me then, as he stood tall now and kept that gentle smile on his face, and then looked to us with a mirth-like gleam to his eyes now as he then told us, crossing his arms behind him, "Well, I have things to do and some worlds to aid. Being an off-world savior has both benefits and slight cursing for that matter." We looked to him in confusion altogether now with him simply smiling at us as he then also told us, with a smirk now on his face, "Now don't get jealous Lenora, but I think Lucy will be alright for now, with these two here in her life. Of course you can still talk through the orbs to truly talk to the others. Maybe even more when the time is right." She was about to ask him something until he too vanished, like Lucy did; leaving nothing but sparkled blue dust particles behind him.
It was silence for a few moments until I looked to my right-hand now and I took quick notice it was slowly beginning to fade, and Adagio noticed as well on hers as she then looked to her eldest sister, seeing Lenora's gaze softened now as she simply answered Adagio's slowly forming question she could detect on her face, "You're being sent back."
I took sudden notice as Adagio's eyes then widen at her sister's words. She began then to try and hug her sister again, but Adagio was surprised she was fully faded to that making her look like a specter, and so too was I from my form only standing, watching what is happening right now. Adagio indeed passed right through her sister as she turned to Lenora now with tears in her eyes that were forming as she then began to state to her older sister, "I don't want to-" she was interrupted surprisingly by Lenora as she placed a gentle right-hand to Adagio's lips, and she simply smiled and told her sibling with a sad look in her eyes, "This isn't the last time sister. Aeroza did give you your own orb for a reason. Maybe it will help us to talk?"
Adagio widen her eyes at her words, looking at the orb in her one hand, and then at Lenora as she was almost gone, I was too as we were then surrounded by a very bright light as I heard Lenora say to her one last time, "Love ya sis."
When I came to, I was surprised that Adagio and I was right back with Lucy, hugging her.
When we slowly let go of her, Lucy looked to us and was confused. Adagio noticed the orb in her hand now; the same hand she held it within Lucy's Heart, and widen her eyes briefly as she then carefully placed the sphere into her left-pocket of her own outfit. Sonata gave her a look though as she noticed it. "I'll explain what happened later with you and Aria. Right now though, I think Lucy's all right," Adagio stated to her sister, and then turned to Lucy who looked at her warmly, and nodded.
She then stood up as so did I, but I also gently grabbed Lucy's hand while I helped her up as well. Adagio turned to us, with a firm look on her face but with grateful eyes as she also told both Fluttershy and I, "Thanks for getting at least two of us here for her. Just remember if she needs us, do exactly like you did before." I nodded to her, knowing Lucy's life the way it was. "And if she does have an episode, try and figure it out why she is having one. This is only the second time this has happened to her."
I turned to Fluttershy in shock quickly at this, and looked back to her two aunts, and yet I only nodded with myself also asking before I could stop myself; wanting to know, "Second time?" Before Adagio could reply, Sonata beat her to it as she answered me, peeking out from behind Adagio with her hands behind her back, "Ya, she had a small relapse back at home after we said something to her, which we still can't figure it out, while we were getting ready to come here."
Lucy looked to us as she then asked us innocently, grabbing Adagio's hand with said aunt being surprised by Lucy's actions, "I'll be fine, but I got a question: Can I have more food please?" We all sweat dropped at this, and I thought to myself inwardly smiling, Well, at least she has a large appetite. Adagio just nodded and was about to reply when Principal Celestia came into the room holding her rainbow-covered purse, looking slightly panicked. The Principal was then relieved to see that Lucy was alright as she told us, sheepishly I might add, "Seems I came out to the Cafeteria for nothing, I suppose."
She turned to all of us, but warmly looked to Lucy briefly before turning to Adagio, knowing from the look on the girls face, "Let me guess Miss Dazzle: You want to be excused from your classes for the day, to handle you niece?" Adagio shook her head no, surprising not only her, but me as well. She then looked to me with a hesitant look in her eyes, but smiled back to the principal and then stated, "Well, I was hoping if you could let Lucy's new friends and her off campus for the entire day, she…" She trailed off, and then looked to Lucy, then back to the principal and finished, "Had a second relapse in one day. I don't know what it was about, but I hope you could excuse them to watch her, they agreed to it anyways."
That surprised Principal Celestia with her also looking thoughtful for a moment, and I was about to say something since it was mainly my fault, and I was then quickly surprised as she spoke to us before I could, "I will allow it."
I turned to Lucy who was slightly excited as she knew she loved the school, but having her aunt let her hang out with her two new friends…well her new friend and Mommy in her mind that is, sounded great. Lucy however still thinks it would be a while before she called Adagio, Momma, though.
Lucy hugged Adagio then, and she winced as if she was in minor pain, and noticed that Lucy was now briefly stronger, making my eyebrows furrow slightly from my observation of this before Lucy turned to me. I quickly plastered a fake gentle smile on my face as she said happily, to all of us, but to mainly me as I was still thinking to what I saw from Lucy's brief hug to her aunt, "I like that. Maybe Fluttershy can show me the animals while were out." I took quick notice that my friend's eyes softened at this, and simply nodded as well as also telling her gently, "We could do that as one of our outings. Or we could do something else. I'm pretty sure we could afford to get something to eat."
We all sweat dropped except the Principal at that, and I spoke softly to her, "Fluttershy, I think we could at least afford one meal for her. But not the way she ate this afternoon here." This confused the Principal now from what I stated to my friend and then asked all of us besides Lucy, crossing her arms, "What do you mean, Miss Shimmer?"
Let's just say she was wide eyed at us as we explained how much food Lucy ate, and she turned to the child in question who now blushed at the mention of what she did and rubbed the back of her head slightly. The Principal also took notice of the tail wagging back and forth that belonged to Lucy, but didn't say anything to notice she had seen it, and turned back to me also going through her purse at the same time, and reaching out a card for me to grab.
I did hesitantly, and she told both Fluttershy and I, with a serious but gentle look on her face, "Well, I could say Lucy can use some time with you two. So use this card I given you, as its prepaid to at least one-hundred thousand dollars on it, and its cash I gathered up from a friend that visits every once in a while to say... too rich to actually want to give it as a gift now and then." From what the Principal stated to us, sounded like her friend could freely give-away money just like that.
I was about to object to this, and so was my friend as I also took notice that both aunts stared incredulously with wide eyes at Principal Celestia as she simply raised a hand, and just smiled softly at Lucy, saying, "Let's just say Lucy and my sister was in a similar experience, and leave it at that." Now all four of us, and also Lucy was confused but she simply smiled and then began to walk out of the area, and turned back briefly to us before leaving, "It is her first day so she can leave if she wants, as a understudy to her aunts, Lucy can do that as many times as needed to in case she is bored, as well as other times. As per rules of the school." She left then, and headed back to her office.
I looked to both her aunts, who simply shrugged and then spoke quietly to Lucy after taking her briefly away so we couldn't hear them, yet I only saw Lucy just nodding with a small yet shy smile, and told them both loud enough for us to hear her, "Ok, I will listen to them both auntie; You can count on me being a good girl." Both aunts smiled at this, and brought her back to us as they began to head back to class; not before Adagio gave me a look that stated calmly to me, thanks, and left with her sister.
We then turned our gaze to Lucy once again, and I rubbed the back of my head and was about to say sorry, because of me I felt guilty causing her to have another episode. She simply giggled and looked to me warmly, and Lucy also surprised Fluttershy from what she said next, "It's alright Mommy, and I forgive you. You didn't know about that, and… I think I can get over it now. Somehow I think I can be ok."
I was slightly shocked she called me that title in front of my friend, who in turn gave me a questioned look and I only gave her one that made Fluttershy only nod as I said then, "I'll explain once we get her something to eat…" I turned back to Lucy and asked her kindly, "Are you hungry the same way right now from lunch?" She now shook her head no in answer to this, and then beamed at me innocently as she also replied; folding her arms behind her back and swaying slightly from side to side on her feet, her tail also waving in slight happiness now, "No... but I think I could at least eat one meal though." We both nodded at that, as well both of us being inwardly relieved.
We then went outside to my car. I was now amused though and so was Fluttershy as Lucy looked at it with wide eyes. It was a golden colored Modern Viper X (2), with red flames on the sides. We then took off and had her place herself, buckled-up of course in the back seat. We also turned on the radio and a song I liked came on.
It was from a video game that has recently been added to our city's radio, as well as it being somewhat popular based on the music it was known for on YouTube and song-based companies, as 'Simple and Clean'. One of my new favorites to sing, and I was about to do that until I half-froze as I listened.
Lucy not only surprised myself, but Fluttershy as well now, by humming beautifully to the song to herself. I turned to Fluttershy as she did to me, and I quickly placed my head straight watching the road since I was the one driving, but still listened to Lucy hum-singed to herself.
I began to think to myself now, still paying attention on my driving, Lucy is a surprise to this place I bet. She could sing I guess wonderfully from what I can hear as well as Fluttershy. She can purr like a cat when she is gently rubbed on her tail and some parts of her head. She also seems to be stronger now; from what I have seen with Adagio's face when she hugged her too much, which is strange as it is on my mind still. I briefly looked to Lucy and noticed she was still humming the song, smiling slightly to herself, making me now smile small and thought to myself once more. She doesn't even seemed phased about the relapse she had, but from what Lucy said to herself over and over again, I briefly clenched the steering wheel, but Fluttershy nor Lucy took no notice as I quickly relaxed my grip on it so I wouldn't stress over it, but was slightly peeved as I thought again once more. If I ever encounter those relatives of hers, the ones that done this to her to make Lucy fear over magic. I would show them something to be truly afraid from.
Brief Normal POV:
Unknown to them, somewhere in Surrey, England; at a small house, three certain people sneezed lightly at that thought from Sunset Shimmer. Since they had no choice but to move back to their old home. Shrugged, and went back to the card game they were playing. In secret, the woman was inwardly sad still about who wasn't here besides the two. Knowing she was now free as a spell of sorts she felt, was truly gone thanks to a certain old coot, but sadly misses the chances she could of formed with her niece while she lived with them because of the old fool.
Yet sadly she decided to keep-up the charade so Dumbledore won't notice she was free. She just hoped that her other curse would be lifted as well for her looks; a curse that happened when she was a least six years old by a vengeful witch. A witch that had a thing with her father, and yet decided as punishment that Petunia would receive the modified ugly-curse of sorts to look like Petunia was now.
The female just hope wherever the child was, she was safe.
Sunset Shimmers POV (Again):
We now stopped at a red light, since I decided to take Lucy to a McDonald's restaurant. She seemed surprised at us for taking her to this place and now asked with a tilt to the head since the song has been done for at least a few minutes; from seeing a image on the glass windows from a random poster, "What's a cheeseburger?" I turned to look at her in astonishment and also asked, knowing the outcome slightly, "You never had a cheeseburger before Lucy?"
Lucy then shook her head no, and I saw sadness in her eyes, and what she said made me inwardly mad, and I took noticed from Fluttershy's eyes, she was two to my inner shock as well, knowing it takes a lot for the teen girl to get truly angry at something or someone. "I never even been inside a restaurant before. It was mainly cousin Dudley and his family that did, but I was mainly left behind all the time."
I then looked briefly at my friend who also nodded in support of my quick decision, and I turned back to Lucy with a gentle smile on my face now; since now we were about to go into the parking lot and park in one of the spots available. "Well, with what the Principal gave us, anything you didn't do before, and by the end of the day we can do some of the stuff. Ok Lucy?" She was surprise from what I told her, then she quickly beamed at me in slight happiness mixed with shyness; her tail also showing it while Lucy was still sitting down, with it only wiggling on her right-side.
This of course made both Fluttershy and I inwardly awe briefly from her being cute, at the moment, "Ok Mommy, but can I get a cheeseburger without onions please?" We then parked, and I turned off the ignition from my car with grabbing the car keys as I then turned to her curiously as I also pondered what Lucy just said before asking her, "Why without onions?" "I'm slightly allergic to them, pumpkins, and for some strange reason… holy water (3)?" Lucy stated the last part that not only confused us slightly, but she was unsure about it as well.
I just simply grinned softly at her, as we all now got out of the car and then headed inside. Though as we entered I inwardly thought to myself more to what she said just moments ago to us then in minor confusion. Onions and pumpkins I can understand as they're basic allergies to food. But holy water? That is just strange itself.
We ordered our food once we checked to see what we wanted, with Fluttershy ordering a simple salad with a regular-medium sized coke product, and myself ordering a Big-Mac with fries with a large soda, as I tend to have a slight bit more metabolism then my friends; for some reason, especially ever since I came to this world. I got Lucy her first meal though from the restaurant, even though this place was a fast food source as one. It was a cheeseburger happy meal, with fries and a chocolate milk bottle to go with it without onions as per request. I also noticed before we ordered that the toys were that of the Bakugan variety.
The show isn't all that bad, but I tend to miss it sometimes cause of getting around for school. It also seemed that all the Bakugan this time from their stores, are custom made randomly in design this time to my questioned surprised when I asked the clerk. Yet I didn't notice the slightly odd female clerk had a strange gleam in her eyes as at the time, when we found out who she truly was, surprised us later on when we ended up meeting her once again. She then left in a mist-like spell after the true casher, a teenager that is, came back and seemed confused on where we went.
When not only myself, but Fluttershy saw Lucy was slowly, but surely enjoying the meal like it was her last, we both looked to each other in silent agreement stating, we need to introduce Lucy to more things.
Her toy however was like the real thing slightly, but when it opened, it resembled that one main dragon Bakugan from the show; but it was mainly silver and gold colored with fully green eyes like hers. It's wings though looked feathered instead of the one drake's wings. It also appeared to have two specific runes on the wings, which I don't know what they were meaning or about, as I thought it was simply a toy but not known to us, its eyes glowed briefly before dimming without us noticing at all. Lucy however enjoyed it so much, she decided to carry it with her in her hands mostly. Eventually though, she placed it into her pocket, and she even named it to our hidden amusement, Apophis or for short: Apo, for some reason.
As we decided to stay briefly to discuss to what Fluttershy wanted to know at the school, I explained my experiences to her truthfully, seeing her shocked face was worth it as she then asked me, briefly noticing Lucy playing with the toy she got once again as if it was her first toy entirely. Inwardly making myself briefly angered as a result, yet cooled quickly as we still talked.
"If you were told by Aeroza your her mom now, why is what he mentioned her original mother being a spirit, and her Key-bask-toe?" "It's Keybakto, and I don't know either to tell you the truth Fluttershy. We're in the same boat together on this one, it seems." Fluttershy was drinking from her soft drink as she nodded, and since we been at the restaurant for at least or close to twenty minutes, we finally decided to take off.
We didn't see the Bakugan waved back with one of its wings at the real clerk; who froze in shock at them leaving with knowing the male teen didn't serve them; from when Lucy placed her back into one of her pockets and also not known to us as well, the one who indeed served us then came back five minutes before we decided to leave, in Greek robes, and then vanished with a satisfied yet mischief-like grin on her face; vanishing without a trace.
So once we took off, we decided to take Lucy to her first time, to an arcade area. Litwak's Arcade (4) that is.
Once in we were met with an old man who was balding with wire-like glasses on his face, and a Hawaiian shirt with work jeans on, and he simply smiled as he then asked us, "Hi girls, seems you're out earlier today. Must be half-day week then?"
We slightly laughed at this, except Lucy as she didn't know what he meant and told him what was up. He understood briefly, and noticed the crescent-like scar on Lucy's head as we also noticed as well. It would seem to us she tried to hide it for some reason, but always fails as it keeps showing itself from her hairline, and widen his eyes from seeing it as well with quick recognition; which I took notice of his look to Lucy, and then quickly regain his features as he then turned to all of us, and asked us then, "Well do you guys want to play some games then?"
Lucy was excited even more I could tell. But I also noticed she was also shy once more, looking at each one like she didn't know what to do.
I gently lowered myself to her height like I did earlier at the Joint-Principal's Office, and smiled gently to her as well. "We can pick out one you think is interesting for sometime, then we can do other ones. We got all day to do this Lucy." She looked at me uncertainty, but then beamed at me with happiness then as she began to look for a game to play with.
I stood up now and then mentally patted myself on the back, and went up to where Lucy now was as she was currently at Sonic Heroes (5) game after choosing for herself to which I noticed she was happy about as well. Lucy was bad at the game at first, then I took quick notice that she learned really fast within a few minutes of playing the game, like an expert player. She mainly played around Sonic, Shadow as he was surprisingly in this one, and Amy Rose.
When I wasn't playing with Lucy when I had the chance that is, I played mainly as Tails, but I took slight notice Lucy gave off her magic a tiny amount; accidently that is from her missing a jump and causing Amy to wipe-out briefly before resuming getting back on the board she uses in this game, to which was slightly not doing anything to the place. But I could of sworn that I saw the avatar froze as Amy Rose was getting on her board and her eyes widen at Lucy, then blinked as she was back the way she was using her avatar to race with; making me inwardly think in slight confusion, What was that about, that was so unusual for a game character to act as such?
After a while we also played the other arcade games that was there since we had plenty of money with somewhat the same thing happening to other characters as such making my confusion even more, but I simply placed it to the back of my own mind as I have been doing so much as of today. Mr. Litwak who was also known as the owner of course, was happy about. He noticed the card and understood who gave it to us.
After at least a few hours of being here, we noticed it was getting around to at least ending time for school. But before we left; after we thanked Mr. Litwak for the gaming-time today, the door opened which caused him to stand still.
It was a cloaked person with a strange mask on his face I couldn't make out. It sort of resembles being made out of a bone, of sorts. We then found out it was a male with him looking at us all, mainly to him though, "Seems you have been pretty busy as of late Litwak." He spoke in a slight accent which was British.
I for some reason gently grabbed Lucy and Fluttershy saw my movement. She was of course slightly surprised as I placed Lucy behind me, which I didn't know why I was protecting her from this person's view of her. But that also made the stranger noticed us and was surprised as well, then I heard a mirth-like tone and what also felt like a smirk under the mask as he stated to us, crossing his arms, "Well, well, well, look what we have here. Three girls that should be in school right about now. But instead they are enjoying some time at the arcade…" He was about to continue his suppose taunt but he froze seeing Lucy behind me more closely, and gasped as he merely gazed at her crescent scar on her forehead.
It made me then gently grabbed her arm from behind me, and noticed she was scared, so I gentle began to rub it as I tried to calm her down.
He then began to wickedly laugh as if he finally found something interesting about us, and I then felt his eyes from his mask, spoke as if he finally found something worthwhile, "Seems I found the Girl-Who-Lived. Who would have thought she was right here in America of all places." This confused us, but when I turned to Mr. Litwak, he paled at the strangers words about Lucy, and I noticed all the sounds of the arcade stop and mostly all the characters froze as well from this, as if looking to us right now.
The cloaked stranger then clapped loudly, getting me to jump and turned to him as he wickedly laughed once more, pulling out some kind of stick from inside his cloak, and said mainly to himself out loud, "The master would be pleased by this. I bring her back and I get a reward out of it, and deal with this place. It's not even my birthday and I'm so pumped." He now pointed the stick right at us and was about to shout something, but he was then frozen stiff.
It was then I now noticed that Mr. Litwak had a stick just like the strangers, and it was aimed right at the person. He quickly motioned to us to follow him. We quickly complied as he led us out the back of the building, and swiftly told us in a hurried yet rushed tone, "You have to get her out of here, I need to deal with the person inside so he doesn't remember seeing her." I was about to ask him why is that, until he quickly lead us to my car, and said to us all quickly without allowing any words to come out of my mouth, "No time. Please just get out of here," he then looked to Lucy and noticed she was scared. He pulled out a hand-held gaming device, and quietly told her something which also made her eyes go wide with excitement as he then quickly left us.
We all quickly buckled-up and I took off fast from the place.
I began to worry slightly as police cars went past us now to the location after a few minutes of driving away form the arcade, and we decided that was enough time today, and also headed to the animal clinic as to what Lucy earlier comment was back at school. Maybe we would be a lot safer there.
Fluttershy was calm now, and so was I; but we were still slightly worried. I know I was only introduced to the arcade at least a few months ago with the girls, but the girls hang out there most of the time, if they get a free chance of doing so.
As we entered from both parking my car and then entering the main entrance of Fluttershy's part-time work place, I noticed something was different around here. But I was also inwardly amused with Lucy once more, seeing her face happy like this now. Seems she tends to be scared, and then goes right to being normal after a few moments of leaving the area, I observed slightly in minor thought.
It mainly looked like a regular vet place to me, but at the back from what I heard from Fluttershy, she had also strange animals that was given to her to look after, and some that also became abandoned, and trying to find homes for.
So we went back and within a few seconds, Lucy took off to each and every animal and was awed by each one, making a small smile to show on my face, and as well as my friends. I noticed however she stopped at the reptile area, and once we went to she was, and we were both slightly shocked.
Lucy was now hissing along with a strange-like snake with wings. Its wings was colored red with golden streaks mixed in its feathers, and its head had two small horns on the top, and its eyes were not like a snakes at all, but a dragon from what I saw. It also seemed to have two arms, but no legs, and its scale color was mainly pure white.
The creature took notice of us as we approached Lucy, and hissed something to her, and she then turned to us in surprise with a blush on her face as she beamed at us slightly, "Zera said she wanted to know what you guys are, as she smells something different about not only me when we began to talk, but Mommy." We looked at her in shock as well as curiosity when I asked her gently; not to freak her out, "Lucy, you were talking to the snake?" Lucy looked at what I think is a snake, Zera, who hissed something to her and she now gave the snake a confused look and then looked to us, "Yes, I did, she spoke like us, why?"
I got concerned about this as not everyone could understand snakes besides my friend here, and Fluttershy was gifted with the abilities of animal speech from the last dance; from the school dance we recently had thanks to me as I suggested it to the Principals to make a new one; after to our surprise, the magic was still at the school and cleaned the place up as well as re-done the dance decorations to also include in on that idea for some reason, before fading.
I looked carefully to Lucy and softly asked her calmly, but gentle toned, "To me it was mainly hissing to both you and Zera here." Fluttershy was slightly surprised by this news from Lucy still, and nodded to Lucy as she responded to her as well, "I could understand all the animals here, but I'm surprised you could talk to her. You see she was given to me because someone abandoned her or something, to keep her safe." I got myself to look at Fluttershy right then and there, and asked her in wonder, "What do you mean keep her safe?" She then shrugged in reply to my question and simply replied sheepishly back, wiggling her fingers together as she answered me, "He said that she would go to the one that truly understood her, and said that whoever owns her then, wasn't to be judged fairly from this."
I was about to ask until the snake-thing hissed at Lucy again; who now looked excited, and turned to Fluttershy and asked her, with a tilt to the head, "Zera said that if I understood her, I can own her. Can I have her please, Fluttershy?" Fluttershy, seeing the little girls face like this quickly caved in, and smiled. She nodded a yes, and got her out of the cage, the creature instantly went to Lucy and wrapped gently around her arm and neck area without crushing her, and was brushing her hair slightly with one of its small hand-like claws, and with that Lucy began to purr again as the snake hit a certain spot, and it surprised the creature that it stopped. Lucy in turn was confused slightly and looked to us.
We simply shrugged and I took noticed that the clock showed it was after or at least 4:00PM in the afternoon, and I turned back to Lucy stating to her gently again, "We need to head back to your aunts as I'm pretty sure they're wondering where we are at the moment."
Lucy was disappointed by this until Fluttershy looked to her and said with a warm gentle smile, "You can come back and help me out when you can if you want. I really don't mind the extra company Lucy." Lucy in turn, looked at her in surprise like this was the only time she would be here. But she beamed at Fluttershy then, and hugged her like she did with her aunt. Fluttershy smiled, but she slightly flinched but did not show it from the amount of power was into the hug itself. She looked to me, and I began to wonder why Lucy was suddenly so strong, but we decided to simply head back to the school.
Once we got there, we noticed all three aunts were waiting patiently at the school entrance, near the statue; they were talking to each other about something until I pulled up with the two girls; Fluttershy and Lucy in my car.
Lucy saw them, and quickly ran with to all their surprise; when she got out, a very fast speed of sorts when she exited the vehicle; without breaking her items she got today. Lucy also made Adagio topple to the ground while the child was laughing at this, and she smiled at her.
I noticed Sonata was trying to stifle some giggles bubbling up, and Aria, the girl I found her name to be, had a small smile on her face before it became a scowl since she took quick notice I saw her doing that, I simply shrugged and looked to the two on the ground.
Once Adagio was sitting, she asked how Lucy's day out was, and she told them. From what I could tell from their expressions from looking to her, and to both I and Fluttershy, they were relieved but were surprised as Lucy's new pet showed itself from under her clothes, and hissed at her, and she hissed back like earlier.
It turned out her pet can shrink itself or enlarge itself to go anywhere wherever she goes without complications. Lucy then noticed that a few minutes passed as she looked and then blushed slightly; causing her pet to hiss in laughter to her, and she then playfully glared at the snake creature.
Adagio simply smiled, but was inwardly shocked to find this type of creature here as she only knows of it being a rare-to-find-creature of sorts, and as what she could feel, a familiar bond she somehow could tell, was with her niece to the creature.
Lucy than spoke loud enough as she finished her tale, leaving Litwak's Arcade for last, "Then as we were about to leave this strange man in a bone mask showed up and was causing trouble. Then Mr. Litwak pulled the same stick and froze the mask man. Then he gave me a gift and said it was only for me to use." Lucy now showed his gift from him to her to the three aunts, and it was a 3ds XL (Decided to change the terms of technology slightly; sorry bout that, but I thought it was good at time), but it was different then the others I saw at the mall. It was silver covered with her name clearly on bottom of it, and had an image of her regular pendent as well, on the top of the device.
"He said this was enchanted so I can play any game I want, for free, and has in...infiati.. infanat-" "Do you mean infinity Lucy?" Adagio asked kindly, helping the poor girl out. Lucy is smart yes, but some words are hard to pronounce to her. She nodded her head and simply said, "Yes that's the word. That much battery life."
After a few more words from Lucy, I could tell the Sirens were grateful, but slightly concerned about what their niece finished explaining, Adagio motioned to me and tilted her head so we could go somewhere else to chat, I nodded and told Fluttershy I'll be right back, she smiled and started to ask Lucy some interesting questions, about Zera.
Once Adagio and I found a secluded place to talk, which was near a dumpster that was a few feet around the school, we then looked at each other and she asked awkwardly to me with her slightly rubbing the back of her head, "Seems she thinks you are her real mother, but I noticed that some parts of the story she told us was slightly off, and I have to ask," Adagio then leaned on the wall and crossed her arms, giving me a look that meant she wanted to know the truth, "What really happened to Lucy and you two, while you're out?"
I simply sighed and explained my parts. She was confused on some of them and asked them, and I answered honestly, for you see it was my responsibility along with Fluttershy for Lucy's safety, and judging by Adagio's eyes she was giving me, she liked my honesty. "… Then after we left the clinic we came right here." I finished explaining to her and I briefly looked to my watch that was under my jackets sleeve as I then noticed it took at least twenty-two minutes to explain my part, and when I looked she seemed slightly angry at me, but was also filled with understanding as well as a hint of confusion.
Adagio had her eyebrows slightly furrowed, thinking about something for a few minutes after I was done talking, or was likely trying to process my part as she finally looked to me and ask with a look on her face, a slightly worried one, "You said the masked man had a… stick in his hand, and so did the owner?" I simply nodded as she then looked up to the sky, then back to me as she spoke aloud to what she was now thinking, "I don't think I know why they used those things, but what you slightly described of that encounter, they used some-sort of spells of some kind, at each other."
I looked at her in shock, and quickly thought with slight suspicion, How does she know what spells are. I pondered quickly and thought of something and it was with slight realization; not knowing I wasn't unlocking her secret along with her sisters, Could it be they know magic from that Aeroza person. But what about the titles though, from the masked person she gave her? Adagio, from reading my face had the same thoughts about her niece as she responded, getting me out of thinking and turned to her with attention, "What I want to know is what the 'Girl-Who-Lived' business was, and the very person wanting my niece, from what he said."
I agreed with her on that as I responded, leaning right next to her now and crossing my arms, "It seems like it was no accident today," I turned to her and finished, "Adagio. I don't know what is going on, but I think Lucy might be in danger if she does return to where she used to live at." Adagio then looked at me in slight fear, not at herself, but for her niece.
That made my eyes soften slightly at her and I then thought of something, but wasn't going to tell her this, since she also seemed suspicious slightly, I think I should write to Twilight about this, maybe get her insight on what the hell is going on around here. Plus I think she would like to meet Lucy. I think they might get along great, from what I could tell from Lucy, today.
I then spoke to Adagio again, with a slight hint of worry as well, but fearing for her niece, Lucy in all this I had no choice but to place a smile on my face as I said this as well, "Well, I was thinking, since today went mostly well, why not let Lucy hang out tomorrow with myself and my friends. Fluttershy isn't the only one that I'm friends with." This seemed to make Adagio now look at me with a strange look I wasn't certain of as she slightly asked me in a confused way, "So Fluttershy is just one of your current friends then?" I nodded and looked to the sky, noticing that a cloud was ironically now looked like the symbol I wear on my shirt before slowly dissolving away as I replied to her, "Ya, they had to go somewhere with their parents, and they were only going to be returning during lunch hours tomorrow. They did say it was important before they did however." I looked to her without moving my head, but only slightly and she then smirked a little and responded back, "Well, seems I have slightly misjudged you, Sunset."
I turned my face to look at her now with a mixture of confusion and wonder, She was judging me? I looked to her carefully and then said to her curiously, "For what?" She simply gave a small smile and turned her head back up to the sky, searching for the right words from her eyes, and then looked back to me in a kind look, "It seems I can truly trust you, in case something happens to us. You see, I'm concerned about my niece as well. And if she trusts you to call you mother… Well I'm not going to stop her, even though I slightly suck at this along with my sisters since Lucy needs a figure in her life, besides us to look up to, as that."
I looked to Adagio now in shock as she then stood and began to walk back to the others without a word anymore to me. I quickly shook my head and had a warm feeling around my heart at what she said, and thought, returning to the group who was playing a card game and Lucy was winning one more time from their shouts slightly, Well, I'll make sure nothing happens to her. If she thinks I'm a mother to her, I don't care, it's sweet, but I hope I can live up to that.
We all looked at the time, and it was close to at least five o'clock in the afternoon, so we decided to head out, and Lucy wanted to hang out more with both of me and Fluttershy a bit more still. That made me smile, but we ended up telling her she could hang out with us tomorrow after school is over. She was happy then and began to walk with Aria and Sonata with her hands in both of theirs, since she was in the middle asking some stuff to them.
I turned to Adagio as she began to walk with them, and said out loud slightly, my hand to my face to echo it so she could hear me, "You're a great aunt as well Adagio! So are your sisters!" She briefly looked to me in slight surprise at that, and gave me a small smirk, and quickly caught up to them.
Fluttershy looked to me now as they were gone, and then spoke softly to me in wonder, "Sunset, I like Lucy a lot, but I'm surprised she has some characteristics of some shows I have been watching, with Rainbow Dash." That got my sudden attention then as I looked to her as well as asked Fluttershy to explain, "She has a tail just like the monkey-aliens from a TV show called Dragonball Z, and I thought they weren't real at all. Until I saw it on her." That got me to ponder this, reminding myself to watch that series now as what Fluttershy caught my interests from what she said.
I then told Fluttershy with a warm smile on my face; with also a look of certainty, "I'm going to write to Twilight so I can see if she can hop on over and join us, so she can explain some things, and see Lucy herself. Maybe she might know what's going on around here, mainly around Lucy."
Fluttershy seemed excited about that as she slightly missed the Alicorn Princess, and so did the others. I was excited, but mainly concerned. I thought to myself, watching Lucy's figure getting smaller by the second as Lucy and her aunts headed home for the day. I just hope whatever is going on isn't too serious that it might harm you, Lucy.
Sirens home; Lucy's POV; After dinner at around 6:31pm. :
I was so full right now from Taco Salad, since it was Aunt Sonata's turn to make dinner that night as she was craving it. I was surprised still at how much food I still ate though: twenty bowls of it.
As I helped my aunt to clean the dishes since I asked it would be alright, when we got done, I also asked if I can show what I got today from my two new friends, well mainly my new friend and Mommy, and they agreed somewhat as I rushed to my room.
I went through my new stuff as I noticed my new bag, and thought briefly, maybe I could show them my cards I kept from my fake cousin. But I wonder if they could see them, like I could.
I decided then after a few moments of deciding on to do or not to do it, and looked into the bag and grabbed Sakura, Luka, and Maya, who looked to me with happiness, since somehow: my freakish powers managed to make them real, and be able to move within their own cards as well as out of them.
I grabbed my cards and my new stuff and rushed back down the hallway. I noticed they were talking, but I don't know what, but they suddenly stopped and now smiled at me as I showed up, with the items.
"Here's my new stuff, and also I got something great to show you aunties, it's... from my personal collection." I replied honestly to them, making myself nervous, but I noticed they simply smiled once again as I showed them everything. Once I gotten to the cards, and then handed them out, they looked at them shocked as my three card friends waved at them; trustingly to them.
My Aunt Adagio took the spot and asked me strangely, looking at me as my other two aunts slightly kept staring at all three of my friends, "Lucy, where did you get these?" I looked down while thinking she was disappointed at me, and softly responded, shuffling my feet while doing so, "I was given them by a kid who didn't want them at all, somehow they stuck by me along with my collections the entire time I was with them."
I felt all three of my aunts knew who I was talking about, and then I felt myself get gently hugged by my Aunt Sonata and I looked up, she just smiled at me. I turned my head to my other two aunts, and they did the same thing, but my Aunt Aria seemed to be conversing with Sakura... or more like staring at each other in a staring contest. That caused me to giggle at the two, and they both noticed and blushed slightly from that.
I turned to Aunt Adagio, and then replied honestly to them, "They have always been there for me once I gotten them, in fact one time Luka there," I pointed to her card, as she waved but this time with her left weapon out, agreeing with me as well, "Somehow entered my other aunts pictures that was filled with none of me in them, and doodled on their stilled faces in the pictures. I don't know where she got the marker, but it was funny." I noticed all three of them looked at my cards in wonder, and then to me as they gently handed them back, which I compiled to.
But unknown to me they were angered inwardly as to what I just said, about not being any pictures of said family.
After I told them I'll chat with them later, my card friends that is, I placed them back but this time by my dresser by the bed, and I returned and showed them my new gaming device once more, which intrigued them, especially from their looks on their faces.
When I finally decide to turn it on, it went blank for a few moments, and then a message began to play on the upper screen, in a feminine voice as well to which was also angelic, "Do you wish to precede new user?" My aunts shrugged as I let them see those words that passed once more before they handed it to me, and I looked closely and saw it had a microphone slot, but it was barely noticeable, and replied, shyly as well since this is my very first gaming console I ever gotten or owned in my entire life, "Yes."
All of the sudden, the power went out and the only thing we all could see was my face along with the bright screen from my 3ds as it then somehow, made non-harmful-green lasers appear from the screen and scan my face, or more so, my entire body and replied simply back to us, when it was finished, "New user scanned: Welcome Lucille Eclipse Potter AKA Lucy, to the new Mystic 3ds XL. This console was created by Japanese game designers who worked with wizards in secret to allow new users, like yourself to have not only fun, but to learn and do things with any games you obtain. In fact you are the very 1st user to obtain myself as well as a few lucky nine others. To begin with, I have absorbed already all your console games that the buyers purchased for this kind of console, and added them to my data space. In fact you will all be surprised how I truly work. Please when you are ready, press the 'Start' button to experience my gaming design. Enjoy user Lucy." I looked to my aunts with confusion, and we all jumped then as the power finally came back on, as if it didn't go out at all.
When I looked to them, I saw some looks of uncertainty from my aunts, mainly both Aunt Aria, and Adagio. But my Aunt Sonata softly smiled and said to me eagerly, "Go for it!" I gulped in both being thrilled by this, and slightly afraid, and just pressed with my thumb the Start Button. Nothing seemed to happen at first, until a jolt of energy spread all around only me, and from my aunt's shouts, I was sucked into the gaming device with a quick yet bright flash.
Normal POV:
The three Sirens were shocked at what just happened after the flash faded, and quickly Adagio grabbed the Mystic 3ds XL that was on the ground and shouted at it, "Bring her back!"
The device seemed to be intelligent enough, more intelligent in fact as it smartly answered back to her, kindly that is, "I am sorry family member to User. New User: Lucy, is currently meeting her guardians from within the gamer worlds; from all gaming consoles that she may have encountered, or wanted to obtain to see who will be brought with her. Please be patient and wait till further notice or issue Order 88 to enter and join user Lucy or ask to see what she is seeing threw Mystic 3ds XL. Later on a list will be placed as such who is available to user Lucy once activated again." All three Sirens were now regretting for Lucy to keep this device, but were now also curious what it meant.
Sonata and Aria looked to Adagio now, and the eldest half-sibling simply sighed and now asked the device, "I issue Order 88 for us three to see what Lucy is seeing, at this very moment." The device felt warm suddenly, and then a slight shock made her drop the device onto the floor, which surprisingly didn't break and then projected a hollo-like screen that showed Lucy, scared at the moment. Then they were shocked again that she was also surprised, and they could at least hear the conversation as well from what appears to be a videogame character.
It was a pink-like humanoid hedgehog with the same eye coloring that Lucy has, and she was currently wearing a red-like dress with pink tuffs at the end of it, and red shorts and sneaker-like boots as well. She appears to be at least 15 years of age. She also was carrying a yellow mallet with green lines around both ends, in her right hand on her shoulders like it didn't weigh anything to her. Her hands were also completely covered in white gloves, and lastly though she was at least 5'4 in height. She grinned at Lucy, and then stated with excitement in her voice, in a British-American mixed tone, "It's about time I meet my god-kid here. Lenora's last visit was with you when you were at least eight months old. I'm glad the company decided to let you have the very 1st device out of the ten here." She finished with a warm smile, and then hugged Lucy gently. She looked at the screen and smiled at the three surprised Sirens at this information.
"My go-godmother?" Lucy asked the hedgehog uncertainty. This can't be real and she was dreaming all this up. Lucy now thought to herself, looking with her eyes for her aunts. Said hedgehog simply chuckled and gently pinched her arm. "Ow!" Exclaimed Lucy, her tail uncurled from her waist now, and glaring at her and now asked with both confusion and minor anger, "What was that for?" This got Sonata to giggle lightly at Lucy's situation. Heck if they were in her position and they were watching her, this would be my reaction slightly as well.
Amy looked shocked at the very tail Lucy has that was swaying back and forth in annoyance from Lucy's mood, and asked quietly while also looking at the screen for confirmation, "Something happened didn't it, your parents I mean?" This made Lucy be quiet at that. The Sirens had widened eyes from what this character was saying. How they were going to talk to this hedgehog though, which seems to know their niece better then they do until Amy then said simply out loud to them with her also looking right at them somehow, "Say Order 72. The device here would let us communicate with you guys. I want to know what happened as well." Then Aria said it this time, and the device simply beeped and stated to all of them, "Order 72 received: Communications Network active, enjoy."
They began to talk to the hedgehog, which introduced herself as Amy Rose from the world Chaos Rings, or Mobius in real world naming terms, and as they talked, Amy was concerned for Lucy.
After a while of simply talking amongst each other through the network, they now took notice Lucy talking to another gaming character, and it was a humanoid hedgehog that was a male, and he was a few inches taller than Amy, and he was mainly black with some red stripes in his quills. He also had sneakers with small-like jets on them and had two golden rings on both of his wrists with red eyes. This was Shadow the Hedgehog; from the same world Amy lives on.
Amy, surprised, turned to him and asked with slightly wide eyes, "Shadow, what are you doing here?" He looked at her as if it was obvious and simply told her, "I'm not allowed to talk to my goddaughter as well Amy? How Sonic-like of you." He glared at her, making Lucy giggle at them from the tension and turned to her, and then to him and the Sirens saw a mirth-like gleam in Lucy's eyes now. Uh-oh, were all three Sirens thoughts at this as they watched what was about to happen.
Lucy now asked them both innocently, with a tilt to her head and her tail curled like a question mark as well, "So Auntie Amy and Uncle Shadow are a couple?" This caused the Sirens to laugh at them as they both blushed briefly, and Shadow then coughed and looked to his goddaughter with a slightly serious look, but had a smirk on his face now, "She's not my type." He said simply to her.
Lucy noticed her Aunt Amy now looked ticked off at what Shadow said, and began to slowly back up and he noticed with a confused glance until he was hit by the 'hammer of doom' from Amy to the head, and fell down with swirls in his eyes. This made not only Lucy, but the three Sirens wince at this. She placed the hammer back into her void storage, and noticed the wide eyed look her goddaughter was giving her, as she asked checking her out, making her go 'Hey' as she did, "Where did the Hammer of Doom, go?"
It was innocent, but this made the pink hedgehog blush at the title of her weapon. But she answered her slightly, looking at Shadow in pity she did that to him and back to Lucy with a smile, "I just simply placed it into my Void Storage." Amy noticed Lucy was confused, and explained it more easily to her, "It's where I tend to keep things so I won't lose them." Lucy looked like she understood what she said then.
All of a sudden, a bright flash showed up and this surprised them once more; Aeroza was here, in the device. He simply chuckled at all of them, and smirked lightly as he then said, "Well, seems I arrived in time for Lucy to meet some of the few godparents that Lenora met from accidental magic at a young age, from her travels that is later on as well." He turned to the screen, and then told the three Sirens watching their niece from within the device, carefully, "I just dealt with Zallon, and I have to say: he was pretty mad I defeated him once more, and he puts the blame on Lucy this time. But that isn't what I wanted to say, mainly."
Aeroza then snapped his fingers, and not only were him, but Lucy, Shadow, and Amy booted out of the Mystic 3ds XL, but a box of sorts was then secretly placed into Lucy's room thanks to him with a hidden smirk on his face as well as the device itself being sent back to her chambers. Amy Rose and Shadow had slight, shocked looks on their faces now at what just happened to them, and simply looked at him. All Aeroza did was lightly chuckle, and simply stated with him crossing his arms as well, "Well, you're not the only ones going to be living here anyways. Didn't Lenora and Lucy here meet other people from other worlds as well?"
That got Shadow's point across real quick, and noticed his emerald was lightly pulsing, in his own storage. But couldn't place it why it did that as Amy asked him, not only confused but in slight mixture of shock, and slow excitement, "You mean we get to stay here, with Lucy?" He simply nodded and then told all of them, mainly looking at Lucy, "Yes, and the others you may have encountered. In fact… everyone can live here; I placed the house for the Sirens to find anyways." Now that was a real eye opener to the three Sirens as they stared at him, thinking with this statement.
But he then snapped his fingers, and a strange belt with strange balls about the size of a baseball showed up on Lucy's lap when she sat down on the couch; she landed on her butt on the floor when they exited though. Lucy was confused, but the one Siren, Sonata, gave a small, sudden squeal, and went to Lucy, hugging her. She looked to him in confusion, as Aeroza then simply laughed briefly and softly told her, "Just watch some programs with Sonata and your other two aunts from their TV, you may understand it slightly." He then paused, and shrugged as he summoned another one of his portals, and waved bye to them before quickly leaving.
It was silent for a few moments and after a while, rooms were created, Lucy was now all ready for bed, and was sleeping. When Amy decided to tuck her in, it was to no obligation to the rest of the Sirens, now knowing that this game character is a real person, and a godmother to Lucy from their elder sister.
They eventually talked face to face this time instead through that 3ds XL she owns. But eventually they came to agreement once the Sirens told them what has been going on around not only them, but Lucy as well. So the saying goes, do not piss off more than you can chew, especially if its over-protective females, and leave it at that. Including a chaos-using hedgehog.
Unknown location, Slightly past midnight within Canterlot City:
A black-cloaked figure was waiting for someone to show up, and the person then cast a time-clock spell to see that his informer was running late, again.
The person sighed as he was about to leave until he was knocked down by the very person he was waiting for, in a red cloak with black slashes embedded into it. They both stood up and brushed themselves off as the black-cloaked person said in a slightly deep mature male voice, "You're late again." The other cloaked person shrugged sheepishly and replied back in a younger man's voice, "Sorry, the boss wanted extra pudding with his meal for some reason tonight." "The fool and his pudding dessert." The black cloaked person sighed dramatically, but recovered as he then held out his hand for something, making the other slightly confused before an 'Ah-Ha' moment got him, and searched in his own cloak, and pulled out a picture.
It was Lucy, enjoying her time with her two-out-of-three aunts at the entrance at the school, along with Fluttershy.
The person smirked under his hood and turned to the other person and simply stated, placing the picture in his cloak, "Seems what the others were saying was true, they found her." The red hooded one nodded frantically and stated back, with a grin under his own hood, "Ya, seems she might be a powerhouse, from what they could sense from her hidden potential, or at least that's what they said to my group."
The black cloaked person smirked and finally removed his hood, and it was a black-haired young man that looked to be his late twenties, and he had amber-colored eyes with slits. He gave the person a fixed stare, and dismissed him. The person quickly complied as he looked back at the photo and smirked wider, touching Lucy's image on the photo. "I may have been denied to have your power, but this doesn't mean I can't have you as my next pupil or even teach you things. Soon I will also have vengeance to them, the Shadowlords." He then laughed wickedly as a female came into view and smirked right back to him in brief understanding. He looked to her and simply said, with a wider smirk, "Hello Maleficent. You ready to see your goddaughter?" Said woman simply shrugged with hesitance in her eyes though and then tapped her staff as she wanted to, yet wanted to wait for the right time to do so to see her. And they were gone with a brief flash of darkness mixed wit light.
Well, there you guys have it, this is a slightly longer chapter for this story, but yes I made a slight cliffhanger at the end. But it might be more interesting next chapter a bit.
Also I'm in the middle of the next chapter for Ranamon's little girl. Once I get at least ten chapters on that one, and seven or more, I might continue on the Jade one, since it will start off in the DBZ world.
Also here's some information as well; well I decided to add some things to make Lucy's young experience interesting a bit within this story so yes I'm going to repeat myself a bit: I don't own any books, movies, cartoons, etc.… from any franchise, but if I did, I would be able to do anything (not really, just the thought that counts). Except my own plot or ideas for each chapter or story I make. Also I re-edited this chapter as well from 2-8 for those that may or may not have read this, I hope it is better than before. But I also got to say in chapter eleven and so, the bakugan as well as the three cards that Lucy owns, as well as the Pokémon may get more involved as such in future chapters, and leave it at that. Also as a hint, yes that bakugan is alive and is a girl.
For the first number, it's quite simple really, its means that Lucy's magic formed around both Sunset and Adagio as her magic made mothers. Really simple guys.
The second one is mainly a fused model of two cars: the Camaro that bumblebee used as his 2nd form in the very first transformer movie, the real-life one, and a fusion of a truck at the end. And it's one of the fast type cars out there; with a big enough tank to go to at least 108 miles to the galleon for either gas or lead fuel. It could also run on corn fuel as well.
The third is sort of silly, but think this: what if they used that ingredient for Love Potions? Thought I bring that up.
The fourth and five numbers are obvious; a Disney movie known as Wreck-It-Ralph (don't own) and the game itself, but instead of the game characters like heroes, made them described slightly like in Sonic Boom series, but slightly OOC.
I also like to point out once more, reviews would be nice, and any idea you guys might have, let me know so I can either add or improve any stories. And I also like to add I was thinking of another female harry story, but this time in DBZ world.
Well, this is Aeroza, signing off. Peace!
