Chapter 3: Lucy vs Team Natsu!

Italics mean Thoughts or Flashback

Bold means Letters to Mom, Shouga, or Team Natsu

Sadly, I do NOT own any of Hiro Mashimas' work, only the O.C's that come later!

(Lucy's P.O.V)

Without any second from the clearly pissed Fire Dragon Slayer as he charged into me at full force, I pulled out a golden key from my ring while dodging his attack and screamed, "Open Gate of the Maiden, Virgo!" Within 3 seconds flat, a light pink cloud of smoke came up and allowed Virgo to come up.

"You have called Princess?" The pinkette maid asked while also observing the situation at hand right now between me and Natsu. "Is it punishment time for Master Natsu?" She questioned me.

"Yeah, but can you please dig a hole to the entrance of the guild?" I said while keeping a vigilant eye on Natsu, who is preparing for an attack from me.

"Of course, Princess." And with that, her body spun at an amazing speed and thus creating a passage. With that as a distraction, I ran to a glass of water right on one of the bar tables, while grabbing 2 other golden keys, and then said, "Open Gate of the Water Bearer, Aquarius. Open Gate of the Scorpion, Scorpio." Both appeared right in front of my body with an awe struck Natsu looking at me.

Many people gulped at the sight of seeing Aquarius with me, since she is known to be extremely violent. While others already ran out of the guild, screaming like little girls, who just seen a horrible monster. I smirked at the reaction that I was getting from the guild.

Natsu snapped out of his thought and continued at the attack while yelling, "Roar of the Fire Dragon!"

That attack managed only to hit my elbow. But it burned like hell! Before I could command my spirits he came up to my face and said, "Fire Dragons Iron Fist!" That attacked landed right at my gut and leaving me to cough up some blood and spit. I heard Lisanna cheering from the sideline while Natsu had a grin on his face. However, I'm DEFINITELY NOT GONNA LOSE, so I got up and looked at him straight on.

My spirits, Scorpio and Aquarius, were still awaiting an order from me. Then Virgo showed up and I grinned at them happily. 'I have the perfect combanation for my spirits.' I thought to myself.

"I never knew you could summon 3 spirits at the same time." Natsu had said while also looking at my loyal companions right beside me.

"Well, for the last 3 months, I trained hard with my spirits and they actually cared for me, unlike my EX BEST FRIEND AND TEAM MATE who dumped me as soon as she came back." I said while glaring at both Natsu and Lisanna, who was in the front of the crowd of powerful mages watching our battle.

Apparently, that comment took him off guard and as I looked back at Natsu, I saw in his eyes; sincerity, regret, and especially guilt. Natsu and I had our eyes locked on each other now and he asked me a stunning question. "We're still nakama, right?" That question rang in my head over and over again like a song that sticks in your head. LIKE AN IPOD STUCK ON REPLAY!

I chuckled lowly to myself and said back to him, "Ignoring me for the past 3 months along with a majority of the guild…and you STILL expect to be nakama with me?" I saw him hang his head a little lower which covered his eyes.

"I assume that you don't wanna answer that, now do you?" I said to him as I had planted a devious smirk upon my face and him hanging his head lower than before.

"Well, looks like you don't know me anymore, Natsu Dragneel! AQUARIUS, SCORPIO, USE THE GIANT WAVE BUSTER UNISON RAID!" I yelled urgently to my spirits. They happily did the attack that sent a huge water and sand combo straight at him, leaving a smoke cloud around the guild.

'There's no way he could stand after that, after all, water and sand do beat fire.' I though happily to myself while trying to find that hole that Virgo dug earlier. However, the smoke had cleared before had the chance to go inside. DAMN IT!

"THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS TO PEOPLE WHO BETRAY MY MASTERS' TRUST!" Aquarius screamed at the guild members. Most of the guild members were in shock that the beautiful mermaid spirit actually cared for the blonde celestial mage.

"Oh yeah, you guys don't know do you, Aquarius and I are GREAT friends now that we settled our differences along with the rest of my spirits!" I said smugly.

However, I turned my attention back to a frightened Natsu behind a confident Erza and a cocky Gray.

"I assume that you guys blocked that unison raid from Natsu, eh?" I said while getting into another fighting pose.

"I thought that Natsu was the one who wanted a fight with me, but if you want to fight also, I'LL ACCEPT YOUR CHALLENGE TOO!" I yelled over to Gray and Erza.

"Lucy, we don't want to do this but since you left us with no other choice and attacking another guild mate, GET READY FOR A LIVING HELL!" Erza said as she requiped into her Black Wing Armor and Gray was preparing for his ice make magic.

"YOU GUYS JUST DON'T FUCKIN' GET IT, IM DONE WITH FAIRY TAIL! CANT YOU SEE THAT IM SICK AND TIRED OF ALL THIS SHIT AND ABUSE FROM YOU PEOPLE! IM GONNA MAKE YOU REGRET EVER MEETING LUCY HEARTFILIA!"

With that, I started glowing and activated a golden magic circle below my feet. The next minute, every one of my spirits came out to assist me in my battle between ex team mates.

"About time you summoned me, Princess," Loke aka Leo said as he bowed in front of me with a giant smile. However, that smile turned into an evil frown when facing at Erza Scarlet and Gray Fullbuster. Both of the mages looked at me with surprised and dazed expressions considering that ALL of my spirits are out from the Spirit World and came to my side. Plus, most of my keys are golden, which means that they require more magical energy.

"We were watching from the Spirit World since the beginning of this. Our demand to be in the real world, and Lucy's magical power allowed us to come out!" Loke had explained.

"Looks like we should finish this thing up, right guys?" I questioned my spirits. All of them nodded and prepared for the final blow.

As I was chanting the spell for the strongest Celestial Spell, Urano Metria, I overheard my spirits going against Gray, Erza, and finally Natsu, who got his act together.

I heard Natsu yelling, "FIRE DRAGON ROAR!" AND "FIRE DRAGON IRON FIST!" Against my spirits: Aquarius, Scorpio, and Virgo.

Next, I heard Gray screaming, "ICE MAKE LANCE!" AND ALSO "ICE MAKE CANNON!" Against my spirits: Gemini, Loke, and Taurus.

Then, I heard Erza yelling, "DANCE MY BLADES!" Against my spirits: Aries, Cancer, Capricorn and Sagittarius.

All attacks focused from the Team Natsu mages were onto my spirits, who protected me, instead of me. I finally finished the spell, "Oh 88 Stars of the Heavens, SHINE, URANO METRIA!" I screamed as a bright, white light took over the entire guild, leaving everyone in the vicinity to be left unconscious. I told all my spirits, "Thank you so much for the help, you can return to the Spirit World now." After that, they all returned back leaving another cloud of smoke right in front of me.

I looked over my shoulder because I felt a presence still lingering. That 1 person still conscious was none other than Master Makarov and replied to him, "One day, I will return and may be accepted back into the guild. However, until that time comes, I bid you adieu, Master Makarov. Oh yeah, if ANY have the guts to try and follow me, tell them I will personally rip their throats out and beat them to a living pulp."

With that, I finally was able to exit to the front of the Fairy Tail guild and my OLD family so that I'm able to travel over Fiore.

Sorry if that fight scene between them was sorta sucky, however if you liked it, REMEMBER TO REVIEW! Also, if you find mistakes, feel free to tell me. I got no problem with that! It just soo happened when I writing this song, I was listening to the song, 'Replay' by Iyaz. So see ya later in the next chapter!
