Natsu's POV:
The sun slowly started to set over the land, I hadn't realized it had gotten so late. I knelt by Lucy just watching her hoping she would move as everyone else ran around helping injured people.
"His heart…." Makarov started to say "Its coated in black magic, someone did this to him."
"I'll do my best" Wendy said in response. What difference did it make if it was coated in black magic? It doesn't change what he did to Lucy. Happy came and sat right by me holding onto my jacket vest, I knew my little blue friend was sad as much as I was about our teammate. She was so much more than my teammate she was mine, someone I loved dearly.
Seconds turned to minutes which soon turned to a couple of hours, the sun was just now hitting the peak of sunset and everyone had mostly calmed down. People were busy healing others and making sure that who they were assigned to watch didn't get away. No one really had the time to pay attention to me and Lucy. I just held Lucy's cold hand and stared at her hoping she would open her eyes.
"we did everything we could Natsu." Erza said putting a hand on my shoulder.
"It doesn't matter it still wasn't enough." I replied not taking my gaze off Lucy. Wendy had eventually awakened Zenith, who now had a pure heart again and the coated black magic erased. He had promised to turn himself in to the magic council and apologized to everyone for what he had done. He explained that his father had sent him to a scientific magic experimental center and that it was responsible for changing him. He couldn't exactly remember what he had done but that it felt like mostly a bad dream.
"Natsu can I speak with you please." Zenith asked as he knelt across from me and Lucy. I just nodded without glancing up. "I am deeply sorry for everything I put you and you family through I hope you can forgive me." I could hear the sincerity in his voice.
"The only thing I can do is to forgive you, I know that's what Lucy would want." I said looking up at him with tearful eyes. I tried my hardest not to cry but I just couldn't help it anymore I didn't want to loose her.
"She must be really special to you." Zenith said,
"I loved her ever since I met her." I said
"You know, if I recall love can break any spell with just a simple kiss? But that's only if the love is powerful enough and is from the lady's prince charming." Zenith said giving me a heart warming smile. "I want to help you in any way I can, I've always looked up to you and your guild. And anything that would be able to help right now I know is vital." he whispered over to me.
"Psh! Fire breath over here is no prince charming he's a dragon slayer!" Gray said walking over to us.
"But don't those prince charming guys slay dragons anyway?" Levy said
"But are you sure that would save her?" I asked not paying to Gray and Levy's silly argument.
"you could try." Zenith said, I could feel everyone's hope all rise up.
I looked down at her face as a smile crept over mine, I got closer and took a deep breath as everyone decided to watch me. As I closed my eyes I moved in forward locking my lips with hers.
Lucy's POV:
'Release your power and strength when the time is right and go to your own world…' My mother had said to me. When was the time right? I didn't understand what was going on?!
"MOTHER! FATHER WHAT IS GOING ON!" I screamed hitting my fist to the dirt ground I was feeling pretty frustrated. I started to remember bits and pieces of why I was here. I was captured by this Dark Master guy and I remember feeling sorrow and pain. I felt tears swelling in my eyes, why couldn't I remember anything else?! I looked to my right as the sun started fading on the flat horizon. The sky turned a golden pink color and clouds started moving in towards the sun from the opposite horizon.
'Release your power and strength and go to your own world…' I heard my mothers words again ring through my head. Was this the time I needed to release my power? How was I supposed to release it in the first place?At the peak of the sunset, I suddenly felt my heart beat quicken and my face feeling flush, what was happening to me? I thought to myself. My body started feeling light as a feather and I felt like my soul was being returned to me.
"NOW LUCY!" I heard my mother and father scream in my head. I looked up seeing a small cloud vortex form above my head.
I closed my eyes and lifted my head and arms towards the sky. A cloud of smoke started to form as the wind picked up and then started blowing the smoke in vortex around me. I grabbed my whip that was on my side so it wouldn't blow away, when the wind finally subsided and the smoke cleared around me all of my Celestial Spirit Keys that I owned were floating around me in a circle (horizontal to my belt line).
That's right I was a celestial spirit mage…. For the guild Fairy Tail.
I felt my power in each of the keys, each one grew stronger and stronger as the sun set and a golden aura was around each key. The keys started moving clockwise around me, as they spinned they started picking up speed and continued to grow faster and faster until there was just a golden ring of light around me. Even though my eyes were open I was seeing Natsu's pink hair close to my face, his eyes closed and in touching distance. My vision then went back to my spinning keys in the golden meadow I shook my head trying to see that side of me again. I was so confused, This body that is in this golden meadow place isn't me, I am back in Fiore with Natsu and the others, I should be there fighting with him! I started to remember what had happened to me with the Dark Master and the fight between Fairy Tail and Crescent Wolves.
I looked up towards the sky and saw a projection on what was going on in Earthland, where my true self was. Natsu was kissing me, tears were coming out of the corner of my eyes and his eyes as well and the sun was setting over there too.
"Natsu! I'm alive! I'm coming home!" I yelled as I stuck my free hand up towards the projection, my keys stopped in place and all pointed towards the sky. They started moving a little bit towards the sky and my body started lifting off the ground in unison. The keys shot up towards the sky like a shooting star and my body did the same, I was going home.
YAY! OMG GO LUCY GO HOME TO NATSU! :''DDDDD OMG! I had this chapter written out for a while and i'm so glad I finally get to post it! Hope you all enjoyed! Thanks for reading and reviewing!
