Lucy's P.O.V

I attacked Minerva using my claws of a vampire. I scratched her back making me look at her appearance right now. She looks half dead but her magic is keeping her alive. She started to choke me.

[[V.I.A.N (very important author's note): I changed the last chapter to the battle scene this is just continuation.]]

"Gate- Gate o-of the f-f-shadow-w. I-I... O- Open th-the-e! Skiadrum!" I said, my voice is raspy from the hands.

Nothing appeared making everybody laugh at me.

"Please Skiadrum! I know you hate me but that doesn't mean it!" I already was having a hard time breathing as a tear fell from my eyes to my shadow.

Ding Dong Ding

"Thank you." I muttered with a smile as I tried not to sleep because when I sleep, I know I might not be able to wake up again

"Shadow Dragon's Roar!" Skiadrum harshly said, attacking Minerva making her fly towards the wall and breaking it. She stood up and wiped the blood from the mouth using her palms.

"Damn you. I thought you died because of Rogue." Minerva said

"Fuck you bitch. Hurting Lucy-san." he said. He was like Rogue but with less manners and more talkativeness.

"I heard you hate Lucy. So, why not... Oh I don't know... Team up to kill- I mean defeat Lucy?" Minerva said trying to sound angelic and innocent but a smirk in her lips.

"Never ever will I betray Lucy-san!" roared by Skiadrum that was so loud that made children cry.

"I might have to think she's a selfless bitch. I tried to tell her to always think about herself but she always declined. That is were I learned how to open up to others. So never ever think I will want to kill Lucy-san! She saved us. She love us. She protected us. She taught us to be brave. Most importantly... She cares for us. She promised us freedom, and that's what we all wanted. She treats us equally. I got high expectations for you." Skiadrum said every word with honesty, bravery and lovingly plus with punches. I was crying already from his speech. It was simple but it all what I wanted.

At the time Minerva got the chance to attack, Skiadrum changed into a shadow and kicked her back. Minerva fell into the ground, her back leaning on the floor and her eyes half closed like mine. Skiadrum kicked her in her stomach which made her blood go out of her mouth and stomach, for Skiadrum's toenails were sharp and long. He looked at me and nodded. I nodded back meaning I'll let him go back. He closed his eyes. He became a shadow and headed back to his gate.

I stood up and went near her. Suddenly, I felt my body in pain. I shouted.

Aching pain. My body became red from the pain. I knew it, I saw her lips move. I shut my eyes tight.

I can't do this anymore... All of my forms are bruised, wounded and injured.

Are you really gonna give up?

I promise. I will never ever be weak again.

Suddenly, I felt Minerva's cold and black fist on my stomach making my system crumble and me, cough some more blood. I was thrown on the other side where my family was watching.

"Lucy!" they all shouted.

"I'm sorry guys, I can't just do this." I said

"It's alright." Ziyo said, smiling while hold my face

"Is that it? You're just going to give up? Give up isn't a word in Fairy Tail!" Lisanna said

"L-Lisanna..." I said

"She's right, Lucy, you're always giving up. I don't care about the point, just get up there ad show her the boss!" Natsu said

"It's alright to be defeat but don't ever give up" Gray said

"We have faith on you, Lucy" Erza said, smiling

"Lucy..." Crystal said

"Onee-san..." Kazumi says

"Lucy..." Ziyo said, with a pained smile one their face. I hated to see them like this...

"You can do it!" they said. I smiled and stood up. Everybody cheered for my stand.

"I'm not giving up!" I say

"Oh, lookie here. The bitch stood up." Minerva said

I looked at the time. . Shit. Just ten more seconds. I closed my eyes... Distance between us... 5 meters. I took a deep breath and run towards her in speed. I teleported at her back and punched her.

"Ha! Is that all you got! I never even was-" she fell to the floor unconscious.

"The winner is Lucy Heartfilia with only two seconds!" Chapati said

Zin smirked. "Didn't I told you, I got everything under control?" as she left the stadium.

I smiled and did the Fairy Tail sign. Everybody cheered so loud and the Fairies did that sign too. With one last smile, my vision became blurry as I fainted.

"Lucy!" they said. That was all I heard before all my senses shut down.

...

At the time I woke up, I had a huge hangover. All my vision is white. Then, my senses came back to me, I saw Ziyo leaning him head on the side of the bed. I smiled

"Ziyo... Ziyo... Wake up" I said in a gentle voice. I give him a kiss on the forehead

"Lucy?" he asked surprised

"Yea... Who else?" I asked him

"Lucy!" he said as he hugged me.

I noticed I was a lil' bit thinner.

"How long was I asleep?" I asked him

"Three days. You looked like you're fighting with someone." he said.

Memories stabbed my head.

"I defeated Minerva!" I said in my happy voice

The doors of the room suddenly bammed open.

"Onee-san!" Kazumi said, running to me and hugged me tight

"Lucy!" Crystal hugging me too.

"Where are do others?" I asked

"On their way" Crystal answered

"Onee-san! I beat Rogue!" Kazumi says

"I'm so proud of you" I said as I hugged him

"I beat Lyon!" Crystal says

"I'm so proud at you too" I hugged her too

"We're on the first place, with the total of 90 points
Sabertooth has 83 points
Lamia Scale has 81 points
Blue Pegasus has 75 points" Ziyo said

"Lucy!" my whole family said, hugging me, giving me congrats and greetings. Lisanna came to me and gave me Brianna.

"Lwucy! I mwissed wou!" Brianna says hugging me as I hugged her back.

This is the moment I don't want to last and have again.
