Chapter 11: Revelations and Risky Moves

The amusement park had been really fun for Lucy, making her have a really great day with Sting, and she had really loved being around the white dragon slayer. Sting had gotten Lucy a large stack of blue cotton candy, and she ate the delicious treat. The cotton candy had tasted incredibly sweet, but it was also sticky enough to stay on the face of the blonde mage. She had blushed a light shade of pink from seeing Sting smirk a bit while he gently licked it off her cheeks, and Lucy was happy to be around such a great guy. He had such a gentle touch, and it felt so caring.

Every day with Sting had been mostly good, aside from the twenty minutes where Lucy had gone to Fairy Tail to get her guild mark removed, and Lucy really been liking the blond male. He had always made her feel so calm when she had looked into his charming blue eyes, and Lucy blushed happily when she would lose herself in her thoughts. Sting was such a hot guy as well, having such great muscles that made Lucy love how strong he looked, and her heart was always beating with a joyous feeling in her chest. It felt so warm and good, and it was also very sweet.

Sting and Lucy were now checking out the golden request board to find a decent job that they could do today, but there was not really anything leaping out at them. Some criminals had been less active, ever since Shelly Izumi and her gang of powerful thieves had been much more busy with robberies around Fiore, and not even Jellal was capable of capturing those fiends. They had always slipped past his fingers while they had turned into water to escape, and that sure made them quite slick. Since it was impossible to physically restrain water, how could those guys be caught?

Even though she had been having fun with Sting yesterday, Lucy also looked determined to protect him from Shelly. Despite the fact that the blond mage was not officially her boyfriend, Lucy still loved Sting enough to not let any kind of competition get in her way. While he had been making flirty moves on her, she had also been making flirty moves to make him stay by her side. They had even shared an ice cream cone while licking opposite sides of the ice cream, and they had eventually kissed softly. Ice cream was definitely good for romance, right?

While her cocoa brown eyes had kept checking some of the jobs on the request board for anything that would actually be a good job to do for the day, Lucy still could not believe that she had ran into one of Shelly's enemies. If Courtney had some info on Shelly, shouldn't Lucy have asked for it? The blonde mage berated herself a bit for making that unwise mistake, but then she also realized that dealing with a few of her rival's spells was actually like gathering information. If she got to know Shelly's moves, then creating ways to counter them would be great.

"Sting, I'm so glad that we had so much fun at the amusement park. I really love being around you because you're such an awesome guy, and that jack-in-the box really surprised me. Also, you're a really good planner. I didn't even really get to thank you for making me and Courtney have that unusual battle without harming the city, Sting." Lucy told him with a happy smile on her face, resting her head on his right shoulder while they were almost finished with their task of checking out the jobs on the request board.

The white dragon slayer replied in a calm tone, smirking at the blonde girl beside him while his charming blue eyes were gazing at her, "You're very welcome, Lucy. I just figured that you needed a day of fun to relieve yourself from dealing with a dense guy like Natsu, and I'm really glad that you enjoyed every minute of our fun. Things may have been harsh for you last week while you were in Fairy Tail, but you'll soon see that fate will turn it around. Now you're in Sabertooth, my guild of coolness, and you'll see that things will go uphill from here."

His confident and positive attitude had been one of the major things that made Lucy attracted to him, and Sting's cocky grin had also looked quite amazing. Lucy had never seen a smile that looked so white and pure, his shiny teeth glowing with warmth like his White Dragon Slayer Magic, and Sting had truly known how to be charming to a woman. His charms were so great to Lucy, sometimes even putting her in a trance of love with him, and Lucy was really enjoying his company. Even though it was her second day in Sabertooth, Lucy could already tell that she would truly love it here.

This guild was definitely much cleaner than Fairy Tail, not having rowdy brawls that would get out of control, and it was also much more advanced. The self-serving bar could really give anyone anything that they wanted at any moment, having so many delicious things for everyone to eat, and the fashion in Rustboro had been far ahead of the clothes worn by people in Magnolia. Lucy had worn a pink beret on her head while wearing some pink sunglasses, and they went well with her brown midriff shirt. She also wore some blue jean shorts today, and her flat shoes were light blue.

While Lucy was looking fashionable and having fun, as her and Sting went to go eat their breakfast for the morning at a table where Lector was sitting with Rogue, how had Fairy Tail been doing without the blonde mage? Were they still planning to celebrate the seven-month anniversary of Natsu and Lisanna, or would Lucy's departure result in something that even she could not have seen coming? Lucy was happy to be in Sabertooth, not telling any of the fairies that she was headed there, and her old friends must've been having quite a happy time with Natsu around.

At the Fairy Tail guild...

Natsu had managed to heal quite slightly from the injuries that he had gotten from his fight with Lucy, but the fire dragon slayer also refused to just stay in bed. He had gone from the infirmary to the guildhall for Cana to make him some breakfast while Mira had been out on a job with Elfman, and the pink-haired male heard his stomach growl loudly to signal that he really did need some food. While Natsu had desired food, let's just say that he would also be getting a side order of something that he really would not want. What could it be?

He walked straight into the guildhall to see people giving him very harsh looks, hardly liking how he had been the main cause of Lucy leaving Fairy Tail, and no one had really seen this coming. They had all thought that Lucy would run out of the guild crying, possibly even throwing a temper tantrum about the fact that the fire dragon slayer had liked Lisanna more than her, and no one had expected her to leave the first guild to accept her. Natsu even wondered if Lucy would go crazy over him, maybe trying to kill herself, but he was glad about that scenario not happening. After all, wouldn't he be held responsible for her death?

Also, Natsu did not want to lose any of his time with Lisanna. He had still been buying her many expensive gifts, kissing her on the lips to show her that he really was in love with her, and Natsu still cared for her. He had not seen her yet, wondering where she could have gone to, and he also did not see Juvia as well. Natsu looked a bit frustrated while he knew that Lisanna had clearly gone out on a job, but why would she go out somewhere without telling him? Could this also be a part of the karma that Natsu deserved for cheating on Lucy?

The pink-haired male looked a bit happy while going over to the bar for some breakfast from Cana, hoping that filling his stomach would make his worries be eased up, but he looked surprised to see that someone else was having the role of barmaid today. The job had now gone to Marina Kasumi, the grunt from Aqua Kyogre who was really good at espionage, and she smiled happily while knowing that the grunts disguised as mages in Sabertooth would be keeping an eye on Lucy Heartfilia. She had just been following the orders from Shelly, knowing that she was now rivals with Lucy, and the teal-haired girl would also have to take breakfast orders from the fairies as well.

Marina had never liked Juvia, though, seeing the blue-haired woman to possibly be a real hazard to Aqua Kyogre if she ever joined up with them. Juvia had been talking about how cool it would be to have the chance at becoming a member of Aqua Kyogre, despite not even knowing about what could go on in that organization, and Marina could only sigh with relief at the fact that the Rain Woman was out on a job with Lisanna. It gave her a great feeling of peace while she was still instructed to stay in this rowdy guild, but the person who she met next could ruin anyone's day.

"Hey, barmaid! Can you make me a plate of breakfast? I'm really starving, and my stomach won't stop growling!" Natsu shouted loudly while not knowing who this person was, looking grumpy as he sat down on one of the bar stools because of how his day was becoming filled with surprises.

She replied in a somewhat irritated manner while looking stern, narrowing her green eyes at the way that he spoke to her, "You really have no manners, Natsu Dragneel. I could take your request for you, make you such a delicious breakfast to enjoy, but there would be no fun in that. You're just not a nice person at all, based on how you treated Lucy like she was utter garbage, and I really doubt that you'd help anybody. You made the entire guild shun Lucy in such a harsh way, just to protect yourself, and look at the situation now. You have no one to shun, meaning that you'll get axed next."

Natsu did not believe her words at first, but he had turned around to see people giving him mean looks for nearly taking Lucy's life in the fight that they had. Her parting words had definitely left quite an impact on the guild, meaning that no one would really help Natsu and Lisanna celebrate their anniversary, and it was actually their own fault. They had been cocky enough to assume that Lucy would never find out about their little love affair, hoping that the guild would continue to keep it a secret, but everyone had shared the same thing. It was called guilt, but Natsu probably lacked that.

Marina had been smart enough to say that karma would get Natsu, possibly even making people kick him out of the guild, and the fire dragon slayer did not want that to happen. He did not want to be axed from the guild, needing to stay here for his blue-eyed girlfriend, but Marina let him know that what he did to Lucy would cause Lisanna to start looking at him in a different light. She would eventually begin to hate him for what he did to Lucy because it was really hurtful how he had tried to kill her, and Marina smirked a bit while telling Natsu that he had to find some way to fix this.

The fire dragon slayer did not exactly want to try and fix things with Lucy, but he had the idea of using that to make Lisanna become really happy. If she would be satisfied with a guild that had no conflicts, what worries could there be? As he received his plate of chocolate waffles from Marina, topped with double chocolate fudge, the fire dragon slayer widened his eyes in shock from seeing her top off the stack of five waffles with some whip cream. Natsu was not allergic to whip cream, but he noticed that Marina had gotten a large spoonful of it for his waffles. She had managed to get most of the cream on them, but some of the cream remained on the spoon.

Natsu had blown a bit of fire at his waffles to get them crispy and delicious, but he had also blown hard enough to make the whip cream get all over Marina's blue midriff shirt. She sighed in annoyed manner while taking it off in front of Natsu, making him be distracted from his waffles, and he saw a very glorious sight. He had now seen Marina's blue bra holding her ample mounds in their constraints, and they were large like Shelly's. Natsu couldn't even touch his waffles now, seeing Marina take her hair out of the ponytail while she jiggled them in front of his face, and his nose could smell her blackberry perfume. It smelled really sweet, and the other guild members turned to notice that Natsu was giggling excitedly. Whatever he was doing now, it would end badly for him.

Elsewhere...

Wendy and Carla had been on their way to the Fairy Tail guild, but they had decided to check up on Lucy before anything else was to be done. The duo had received a large basket of chocolate cookies as a reward from some of the grunts who were glad that Wendy did the job of delivering food to the guild of Aqua Kyogre where Shelly had resided, and Wendy thought that it would be nice to share these cookies with Lucy. She hadn't seen the blonde mage in quite a while, and they also hadn't been talking much. That certainly wasn't good for any kind of friendship, right?

She had stopped by Lucy's apartment to give her the sweets that would probably cheer her up, and Wendy smiled a bit as she softly knocked on the door. At first, there was no response. Could Lucy be busy showering or something? It wasn't like her to not give any kind of loud response to let someone know that she was in the apartment, and Wendy knew that Lucy would definitely love to have her over for anything. The blonde mage was always friendly to her, being like the nicest sister ever, and the girls would always help each other out.

The young sky dragon slayer still heard no response, and she knocked on the door once again. Where in the world could Lucy be? Wendy was beginning to look a bit worried, and Carla also looked concerned. They knew that Lucy would at least leave a note or a sign that she was out somewhere, and then the girls heard the sounds of a certain blue Exceed eating something from within the apartment. The window had also been opened up, prompting Wendy and Carla to go inside. It was fitting to find a window of opportunity, right? (It's a somewhat obvious pun, I know.)

They went inside to find that the lights were on, clearly having been turned on by someone, and Happy sat on the couch while he ate a chocolate and cherry-layered cream cake that Lucy had left behind in the fridge. He was joyfully eating the dessert, either trying to cheer himself up or not have a care in the world, and Happy's noisy eating had made Wendy and Carla look over the couch to see him enjoying the Black Forest gateau. They were both a bit shocked to see that he had gone through Lucy's fridge while she wasn't home, but it wasn't even her home anymore. (That's the name of the delicious cake, if you did not know that.)

Wendy had been looking around for Lucy, the young sky dragon slayer's brown eyes trying to find some sign of the Celestial Spirit Wizard being around here, but even her nose had failed to pick up on Lucy's scent in what used to be her apartment. It was almost like the scent of the blonde mage was now far away, which it was, and Wendy really had to wonder about where Lucy could have gone. She knew that Natsu and Happy usually came into her apartment when she was here, but it seemed like she wasn't home. If she wasn't here, then why in the world was Happy here?

"Breaking into Lucy's house when she is away just tells me that you really lack manners, Happy!" Carla told him in a scolding manner, having a reproving look on her face while she flew on to Wendy's head.

The blue Exceed became a bit startled, flying up into the air to see Carla and Wendy, and he quickly tried to come up with an excuse for eating the cake from Lucy's fridge. At that moment, he also remembered that it wasn't Lucy's fridge anymore. This wasn't even her residence anymore, since she had let Happy know that she was leaving the Fairy Tail guild to go and begin a new life somewhere else, and he looked a bit disappointed to be in front of Wendy and Carla right now. How could he break this news to them, knowing that Lucy was no longer in this town?

After all, they hadn't heard about what happened yesterday between Lucy and Natsu. Happy knew that the Fairy Tail guild now had enough tension and sadness, and he didn't want to bring more to his friends. He couldn't tell them that he had helped Lucy fly all the way to the town of Rustboro, and he also could not tell them that she left the guild because of Natsu treating her so horribly. Nobody else needed to deal with all the stress, and the story would really be better if it was heard from Lucy's point of view. She experienced the whole story, after all.

Happy thought that the secret was perfectly safe between them, but he just had to tempt fate. He had gone into Lucy's apartment with the intent on getting some food, but he hadn't exactly checked out his other surroundings. Lucy had left a note on her desk, addressing it to Wendy, and the little azure-haired girl took notice of what the blue Exceed was looking at. This note probably contained some great information for Wendy, having been written earlier than the time that it was meant for, and she wondered what Lucy wanted to tell her.

After walking over to the desk with curiosity in her brown eyes, Wendy picked up the note and read aloud in a calm tone, "Dear Wendy, this is your friend Lucy. By the time you have found this note, I will have left for the town of Rudtboro to begin my new life. I want to be free from the drama that Natsu is causing me, and a fresh start will help me do that. We must part ways for now, but I hope to see you again at the Grand Magic Games or any event that makes our paths cross. Be good, ok? Your friend forever, Lucy."

At that moment, Wendy widened her eyes in shock at the revelations in Lucy's letter. Not only had she left Fairy Tail, but Lucy had also left the town of Magnolia. She was now in Rustboro Town, the place where Sabertooth resided, and Wendy knew that those people were the rivals of Fairy Tail. The Sabertooth guild used to be the strongest guild in Fiore, but then Fairy Tail took that title away from them in the Grand Magic Games of X791. If Lucy was there, it wouldn't hurt to just pay her a visit. Wendy was her friend, after all.

The maiden of the sky ran out of Lucy's apartment with Happy and Carla flying right behind her, and Wendy really wanted to see Lucy again. She wanted to make sure that Lucy was okay after going through what Natsu had done to her, and Wendy knew that Lucy would eventually be strong enough to beat him. She kept running down to the harbor at a quick pace, ready to have Carla fly her all the way across the sea to Rustboro Town, and Wendy had also brought the large wooden basket of chocolate chip cookies for Lucy to enjoy some of them.

Back at the Sabertooth guild...

Lucy had been eating her plate of chocolate waffles that were topped with delectable hot fudge, and she had also put some delicious whip cream on them for the prospect of having that great amount of sweetness on her lips. This was certainly a very nice breakfast that she had been enjoying with Sting and the others, making her smile happily about this guild having so many good points to it. Sabertooth was so much more advanced than Fairy Tail, despite not winning the Grand Magic Games last year, and many people found Sting to be a much better master than Jiemma.

He had always made the guild be very enjoyable for everyone, not starting pointless brawls that would just leave the whole guild in ruins, and Sting was also very popular in Rustboro. Whenever he would be walking around town with Lucy, people would always ask to take pictures with the heroic duo. They were pretty famous for taking on Shelly Izumi from Aqua Kyogre, and many people had once thought that Shelly was unbeatable. Lucy had certainly debunked their thoughts by almost killing her when they had first fought, but Shelly had only been holding back.

Now that Lucy and Sting were having this quiet morning without any jobs to do, what could possibly happen later on in the day? Surely there would be good jobs somewhere, but where in the world could they be? The two mages had even asked Rogue and Yukino if they had any work to do today, but neither of them planned to go on any quests today. It's not like Sting and Lucy could just go on long journeys to faraway places without jobs to do, otherwise it would be a real waste of their time. Since there was not much to do today, could even the littlest thing shake things up a bit?

Lucy had been looking into Sting's calm blue eyes while they sat across from each other at the table, making her fantasize about the white dragon slayer being seen shirtless like how he was at the hot spring, and the brown-eyed girl sighed happily while her eyes were focused on her boyfriend's muscles. His biceps looked so good, like he truly worked out every day, and his spiky blond hair made Lucy like him even more. She liked how Sting kept his hair so neat, managing it greatly, and he had also showed off a few secrets about this side of Fiore to Lucy as well.

When they had gone to a place known as Lavender Town, a place where it was somewhat eerie with a tower that was home to the spirits of dead magic, Lucy had only liked the fact that purple cookies were being made there. They did not exactly have a haunting flavor, but they were chocolate on the inside and outside while they were only covered in purple icing. Lucy had seen a few people with dead eyes, however, and they had seemed to talk with her in a ghostly manner. Sting had not noticed anything weird about them, though, except for when they vanished into thin air. It looked like even the great Sting Eucliffe might need Ghostbusters, right? (Just a little joke for Halloween.)

Before Lucy could ask Sting about what they would do today, though, Rufus came in through the Sabertooth guild's entrance doors at quite a fast pace. Lucy had not even seen the masked man run over to their table, his high speed helped him be there in a flash. Lucy smiled softly as she saw Rufus adjusting his red hat, an envelope with her name on it in his left hand, and there was curiosity in her cocoa brown eyes while she wondered about who could have sent her a letter. If it was Natsu trying to rant at her, Lucy would definitely give him a harsh response.

After gently taking the mail from the hand of Rufus, the fashionable girl opened the envelope to read it aloud in a sweet tone, "Hello, Lucy Heartfilia. I hope that you are doing well, after the battle we had yesterday. I know that you share the same goal as me, and that is to take down Shelly. She is very strong with her magic, and you probably have not seen much of what she can actually do. As your reward for beating me in our battle, I shall give you this Lightning Magic. While fire focuses on the attack power, lightning is centered around speed. Use it well, and it's a power you'll need. Your friend in Magma Groudon, Courtney Kagari."

The white piece of paper in her hands began to crackle with electricity surrounding it, yellow electricity that looked pretty powerful, and Lucy let the paper land on her red spell book. The lightning began to surround the book, merging with it as it went into the fourth section of pages, and the color of the book had turned yellow! It began to shine brightly, blinding the eyes of everyone at the table, and even other people like Dobengal had looked at the bright light to see what was going on. Lucy could see eight spells flashing by fast in her mind, getting images of them, and this magic was clearly communicating with her.

Sting asked Lucy in a surprised manner, before explaining what he realized while seeing the light fade away quickly, "What in the world was that about? Lucy, why do you keep on gaining magic in weird ways? I've noticed that. First, you got Water Magic from Shelly's attack touching the book. Next, you got Fire Magic from the heat in our first kiss. Then, you got Lightning Magic from the electricity on a paper. In other words, that book is responding to when the magic or desire is strong enough for it to join you. On top of that, your spirits make good combos with the spells. You're a Celestial Caster Wizard!"

This revelation made Lucy gasp in awe, not having ever heard of such a term for a wizard, and she had noticed that the spells in this book were a bit freaky. She had actually tested out the eighth spell yesterday while being near Mt. Chimney with Sting, after they left the amusement park, and the eighth spell was known as Fiery Final. This move caused Lucy to shoot out a large vortex of fire into the air, before seeing it come down in the form of an even larger vortex that had heat from the sun itself. The vortex crashed into the ground, causing an extremely powerful red blast of Fire Magic to transpire, and most of the ground had been burnt up to the point where it was gooey like walking on marshmallows.

As Lucy was now eating her waffles, again tasting the delicious golden treat with sweet syrup added, the guild's entrance doors suddenly opened up to reveal a familiar face to her. She turned her head to see that Wendy Marvell had come to the Sabertooth guild, and she was not alone at all. Happy had arrived at the guild with Carla, still trying to flirt with the cat that he loved the most, and Lector smirked a bit while flying towards Carla as he pushed Happy out of the way. Even cats could have little rivalries, you know.

"Lucy-san! Your letter was right! You're here!" Wendy exclaimed happily, delighted to see her best friend once again.

She replied kindly while running to give Wendy a big hug, "It's been such a long time, Wendy! I haven't seen you in a whole month! Now that you're here, things are looking a bit less boring! Let's go have an adventure!"

How was Chapter 11? Sorry about not updating today. I was far too busy. Anyway, Lucy and Wendy are reunited! Also, Sting and Lucy are improving their chemistry a bit! This lightning is sure to make things better, especially when Lucy and her rival meet up again! Will Lucy make some good stuff with her new magic? What does Shelly do to really piss off Lucy? How will Wendy react to this tension? Standby for the update!
