Okay, I'm feeling nice, so here's the last chapter! Enjoy!
Chapter Twelve
Lucy's P.o.V
I let out a small gasp. Loke. Zero. The royal guards. I grab my sword, everyone around me arming themselves.
"Prepare for battle!" I yell. Virgo and Aries run out of the castle.
"Princess! We're joining you!" Virgo yells. She holds her whip out. Aries nods, teansing. I turn back to the guards.
"Loke. My son. Don't let me down." Zero growls at the boy. Loke looks up, determantation set.
Loke was so sweet when we were little. I was going to KILL Zero for this.
He would die.
I would kill him.
And I would not regret it.
I bend, ready to pounce. "I'll handle Zero." I growl. I launch myself at him, and he laughs. Everyone clashes with their own enemy. Loke and Aries. Natsu and seven guards. Me and Zero. I focus back on him.
He should die for what he did.
He will die for it.
I scream thrusting my sword at the man. He laughs.
"It's been a while since I had a proper fight. With a good opponent." He unsheathed his sword and we fought like that. I flip in the air, and kick his head. He growls sliding away a bit.
I catch myself on one hand and kick at his chest. He blocks the blow with his sword.
I backspring away from his sword, as he throws it at me.
He yells at his men, now running at me. I use his momentum as a springboard and launch myself onto the men surrounding Levy.
"Thanks Lu-chan!" She says going back to her fight. I flash her a wolfish smile. She smiles back, and I turn to Zero.
He was charging at me like an angry bull. I flip kick him in the jaw, he gets me on the side. I scream in pain. I fall onto the cobblestones, they scrape up my face. Blood stains my left side. I stand.
"Gotta do more than that to hurt me Zero." I growl. He laughs, charging at me.
I dodge his sword, ignoring the pain shooting through my side. He nicks my leg and neck. I scream in pain and frustration with every hit.
I throw my sword, hitting him in the stomach. He doubled over in surprise. Blood stains my sword. Zero falls onto the ground with a thud. I breath hard, walking over to him. I put my pistol to his head.
"This will be a quick death. More than you deserve. Goodbye Zero." I growl, before sending a bullet through his brain. He dies smiling at me.
I moan, my wound growing worse. I look around. The guards are almost all gone. Loke is yelling for a retreat. Natsu is smiling at me. I smile back. Covering the blood and my wound with my hand.
It could've gone better.
We could've suffered worse.
I yell in victory. My crew hollers with me. We board the ship smiling at our victory. Wendy and Romeo go around helping anyone with wounds. Natsu got cut pretty deep on his neck and face. Romeo was helping him and Wendy was bandaging me up.
"Thanks Wendy." I smile.
She smiles back. "No problem Lu-nee. That was intense. Your fight especially." I laugh.
"No kidding. He got me pretty good. I'll heal though. Could've been much worse." I say. Wendy laughs.
"That's true. Just, no more fighting. For a while at least." She says. I nod. Everyone seems to be in high spirits. I was back, and we were sailing, away. Far away.
"Princess. We want to tell you. We're not joining Fairy Tail." Virgo says. She and Aries walk over to me.
"Oh why's that?" I ask. Aries looks down.
"We want to get Loke back. So we're joining Star gazer. The ship. Celestial Spirit pirates." She says quietly. I clap.
"That's wonderful! Get Loke back, and give him a punch in the face for me would ya?" I ask. Virgo laughs.
"He deserves a bit a of a punishment. I will be happy to comply. Don't worry princess. We will get him back." Virgo smiles. I smile back.
"Visit won't ya? I'll miss you terribly."
"Same for us, Lucy." Aries whispers. She smiles shyly at me.
"Good luck girls." I say, hugging them, the best I could with my side injury. They laugh. Virgo looks at the sea, another ship coming.
"That's us. Goodluck princess! May the stars protect you."
"And may the stars protect you." I nod.
Aries laughs. "You truly are a Hunter of the Stars." I laugh.
"We all are Hunter's of the Stars. That's what makes us special." I wave to them as they board the other ship. Natsu wraps his arms around my shoulders.
"Come on Luce! Everyone's waiting for us!" He smiles. I turn slowly.
"Okay! Come on." I laugh as we walk to the crew.
Four years later
"MOMMY!" Rosemary yells running to Erza. Erza was away on a job for a while. I laugh, looking down at my daughter, Nashi. She was pouting.
Rosemary had her mother's beautiful red hair and her father's eyes. I look at Natsu, he was playing with Emma, Gajeel and Levy's daughter. She had her father's hair and her mother's eyes.
Juvia was nine months pregnant with Gray and her child. A girl I believe. Merial. I smile. I was pregnant again. A baby boy. Igneel.
I look back at Nashi. She was three, Rosemary was four, Emma was two. They were all laughing and playing. I laugh. I was finally happy.
Nashi has my eyes and Natsu's hair. She also had her father's attitude. Spunky and loud mouthed. But she was very sweet and kind.
Emma was just like her mother.
Rosemary was like Erza. But had Jellal's idea of life. She liked living for her friends, but she also liked keeping them in line.
It has been a rough four years. Many battles we fought. In the end we prevaled. Juvia though, thought I was her love rival for the majority of the first year.
That was something I am not going to get into.
Nashi runs up to us, laughing. I smile back to her. My daughter.
Yukino's aunt and my uncle got married. Had a baby boy a year back.
His names Macbeth. But we call him Midnight because he was always up at midnight. We would sneak in to read to him.
I hoped he would become a good ruler. So far…..meh.
But I was happy.
And I hoped to stay that way.
I look at everyone's smiling faces.
Wendy and Romeo were dating for a little bit. They babysat a lot.
I smile looking down. Aries and Loke finally admitted their feelings. Loke still acted like his father sometimes. But he was much much better.
And I was happy.
Why?
Because I am a Hunter of the Stars.
END.
