Sadly, I do NOT own any of Hiro Mashimas' work, only the O.C's that come later!
Hey Guys, right now I'm holding a poll on my page for who Lucy will end up with, SO PLEASE REMEMBER TO VOTE AFTER THE CHAPTER!
(Meanwhile with the guys: 3rd Person)
All the guys from Blue Pegasus and Laxus watched as the blonde beauty walked away to retrieve her items from the compartment that they were originally in before getting lunch.
There was an awkward silence as the boys just stared at one another for about 2 minutes after Lucy had left until Hibiki said, "UGHH, I CANT TAKE THE FREAKIN SUSPENSE ANYMORE! So Laxus, are you and Lucy an item?!" He said sort of crazily.
What most people had not known was that Hibiki was 'in love' with Lucy Heartfilia since the first time they had met at that mission. Also, this isnt just one of the crushes that he had, instead it was true and deep in his heart.
The reason behind that is because of his ex-lover, Karen Lillica, who had died while on duty as a Blue Pegasus member. Karen was a practically tall woman with seafoam green hair and brown eyes. Her hair was held back with a blue hat that she seems to always wear. Finally, she wears a lond red coat with a pink collar and handcuffs with a crème and black bikini top. Also a dark purple skirt and high red heels.
Karen Lillica was a very experienced wizard just like Lucy is. However, there are 2 major difference between the two mages.
First, Lucy has a much more bigger and caring heart then Karen ever had when she was still alive. Lucy was known to care for her spirits and fight along side with them in battles or missions. While Karen was a cruel women who had used her celestial wizards as shields and also abuse them if they were to do a bad job or be no help at all.
Finally the second reason is that Lucy is WAAAYYY prettier than Karen…(According to Hibiki's dictionary at least).
Now that Lucy is joining Blue Pegasus, Hibiki might have a chance at love with the fair maiden and also fate.
The only people that knew of Hibiki's true love attraction towards Lucy were Ren, Eve, Ichiya, and 2 other S-class mages (that will be introduced later) from Blue Pegasus.
Now continuing back to the story. When Hibiki had asked that question to Laxus, it just so happened that Laxus took a sip from his bottle of whiskey and choked on it.
"HOLY FUCK MAN! WHY WOULD YOU ASK ME SUCH A DAMN QUESTION?!" Laxus said while coughing up whiskey up.
"Oh don't play stupid, ALL of us saw how protective you got when that man tried to abduct Lucy. The, how you claimed her as 'YOUR WOMAN!' So…are you guys really together?" Hibiki asked all shy and disappointed if the answer were to be yes.
"Ok, first things first…GET YOUR ACT STRAIGHT! No lady would want you if your always this down. Secondly, Blondie and I are not dating, we're just friends, I just don't want to see her getting hurt. Finally, I'm just accompanying her down to Blue Pegasus and then leaving but she doesn't know that yet. However I MIGHT stay for a bit." Laxus said while looking at the Trimens plus Ichiya.
"So does this mean that I have a chance with Lucy?" Hibiki asked Laxus with high spirits.
"Sure, whatever… YOU COULD MARRY HER FOR ALL I CARE!" Laxus yelled. However, something within his heart was telling him otherwise. Him and Lucy have been togetherfor a few days yet he felt a special connection towards her. It couldn't be that he loves her, right? If that was the case, he might have to keep a close and keen eye on her.
'WHAT ARE YOU SAYIN' LAXUS! YOU CANT CARE SO MUCH FOR THE BLONDIE' Laxus had thought to himself.
His trance was broken when Hibiki jumped up from his seat and sang, "IMMA WINNER!" While also dancing at the same time.
Eve, Ren, and ichiya just stared weirdly at their dancing Archive mage.
"Seems like Hibiki is finally losing his marbles right about now." Eve said while sweat dropping.
"Indeed, there is something about his parfum that is smelling quite different and righteous right about now." Ichiya had added in.
"MEEENNNN!" Ichiya screamed throughout the train.
All the Trimens had assembled in front of Ichiya before Ichiya said, "Lets get ready to depart from the train and go back to the guild!"
"AYE SIR, ICHIYA-SAMA!" The Trimens have said together. In two minutes, they had ALL their luggage while a stunned Laxus just watched from the side. The luggage size was comparable to Erza's load whenever she goes on a mission.
Now Lucy has entered through the door with her and Laxus's luggage right beside her as she said, "Well, let's head to Blue Pegasus, the train stopped now." She said while also smiling at the boys.
"Alright, you heard the lady!" Laxus added in after her. Thus, they exited the doors of the train and allowed Hibiki to lead the way.
However, in Lucy's mind, she wondered what the boys talked about while on the train.
(But lets go to when Lucy left to get her luggage: Lucys' P.O.V)
I just left the boys to eat while I went back to our compartment and get all my things and also Laxus's as well
It only took a minute to get back, however I ran into the pervert that tried abducting me before.
"Hey Blondie!" The man said while trying to get my attention. But I just brushed it off and kept walking.
He grabbed my wrist and I stared coldy at him before flipping him over my shoulder and back on to the ground. Then, I placed a foot on top of him and said, "What do you want pervert?" I asked pretty calmly.
"OK OK OK, IM SORRY FOR DOIN THAT TO YOU EARLIER! JUST DON'T SICK THAT PYSCHO BOYFRIEND OF YOUR ON ME!" He squealed and shutting his eyes.
"Fine, I accept your apology. But that blondie aint my boyfriend, just makin that clear." I said to him and lifting him up now.
"Sure… but I don't think so, just based on how protective he is of you can tell any person otherwise. I may be stupid, but not dense." The man said to me.
Now I was blushing, "No way, Laxus cannot hold emotions like that…it's just not like him to do something like that with me, got it pervert?" I said.
"Well anyway, I just came hear to apologize to you…by the way, my name is not pervert, its Kasumi. But I may not look like it but I'm also a mage. I use mist and fog magic." Kasumi had explained to me.
"Oh that sounds cool!" As I continued to walk with him by my side and I grabbed me and Laxus's stuff from the top bunker of the train.
"Yeah, so we are on good terms now?" Kasumi asked me.
"Sure, as long as you don't pull that kind of crap on me again! Or else I'll-"
"I know, I know, you'll sick that boyfriend of your on me." He finished off my sentence.
"NOO! I'll kick your ass all by myself and he is not my boyfriend." I said to him irritated.
"You can say whatever, but just try to notice his actions more…you might end up more than friends one day." Kasumi said before walking away.
I grabbed my and Laxus's bag before walking back to the front where the boys are.
'Might be more than friends, huh? But, Laxus cannot be like that possibly…it would just be weird.' I thought to myself.
I finally made it to the front with bags dragging behind me and seeing a Hibiki dancing and singing around the front. I giggled and finally went to them. After three minutes with talking to the boys and handing Laxus his luggage, we got our stuff all prepared and exited the train as Hibiki as our guide.
Hibiki had led us through the town for at least nine minutes while pointing out many places such as restaurants and shops so we could later visit them.
'MENTAL NOTE: Check out that italian restaurant in the future.' I thought to myself as we were going around town.
Hibiki then stopped in front of a large brick building and turned to face us. "Well, this is Blue Pegasus. I hope that what you find inside is going to be impressive Lucy and Laxus." While Ren, Eve, and Ichiya smiled at us.
While he said that, my face lit up! I was soo excited to finally be here after all that happened to me. I looked at all the boys and said, "Lets go in then!" While I pumped my fist into the air.
"Ok!" Ren said while opening the door for all of us to enter.
"WOOOOWWW!" Was the literally first word that had come out of my mouth when I was looking all around the guild hall.
"This is the most sophisticated and most beautiful guild that I have EVER been in!" I finished up from my previous comment and had googly eyes.
Inside this refined guild were about 40 mages drinking and socializing with other people. The wall color of the guild hall was a very light and dark contrast of violet along with some silk curtains. There was also a bar that had more expensive and hard to get drinks out there. Compared to the Fairy Tail bar, they (Blue Pegasus) were superior. Finally, there was a second floor where certain mages are allowed to take S-class missions and earn much more money.
Eve then held my shouder and said, "Lucy-nee, do you like the guild hall so far?" in the most charming voice EVER!
"Like it?" I scoffed. "I LOVE this guild! It's so much more peaceful and tranquil." I answered to the adorable little man.
"Eh…it's alright…" I heard Laxus say under his breath.
I simply scowled at him and said, "So, do you guys never have fights in here?"
Hibiki had then joined into the conversation and said with confusion stretched on his face, "Why would we have brawls? Everyone in Blue Pegasus gets along with one another. He explained to me.
"That sounds pretty nice, right Laxus?" While pivoting my head to the left and awaiting his answer.
He looked at me like I was some hyped up hippy and then said sort of cold, "Why would I like that? That seems pretty boring if you ask me."
I looked at Laxus and then noticed the situation, "You...are probably right. But, I guess it just depends on the person and on what kind of environment that they grew up in. So you probably LOVE fights since Fairy Tail had them every day, yet these people get along with one another and not causing any problems." I said aloud to the mages before me.
"Seems like that's the case, eh Blondie?" Laxus countered back at me as I was faced up to him.
"Whatever, just note that next time you call me Blondie, I'll kick your ass." I whispered into his ear, which was very hard to do since I had to be on my tippy toes.
He started to break a sweat and managed to get one word out of his mouth that was, "Aye…" Just like the little, blue exceed.
"OH MY GOODNESS! WHAT DO WE HAVE HERE TOOODAAY!" A high and rather girly voice came out from behind.
We immediately turn our heads and see Hibiki ready to talk, "Oh yeah, Master Bob, please say to Laxus Dreyar and Lucy Heartfilia!"
Master Bob was an old, bald, and kinda gay man who wears pink and purple clothing along with a circle necklace and tiny wings. (A/N. I thought that he was a girl when I had first met him, soo…)
"It is a pleasure to meet Makarov's grandchild and also his most experienced stellar spirit mage." Master Bob greeted along with a bow.
We returned the bow back at Master Bob while I was thinking, 'Wasn't I their ONLY stellar spirit mage?'
"OK, so what business do you have with Blue Pegasus?" A rather rough, raspy voice added in. Unlike Master Bob, this voice sounded MUCH more masculine.
We then all turned our heads again and saw a cloaked figure in front of us. Laxus and I sweat drop thinking, 'What business does THIS guy have to ask who we are, if he's a weirdo in a cape?'
Hibiki then walked up to the cloaked man, gave him a bro hug, and said, "Welcome back Austin, it's been a while."
"YES, YES, YES! WELCOME BACK AUSTIN, HOW WAS THE S-CLASS MISSION?" Bob asked while spinning and twirling around the guild hall as if it was a dance room.
Laxus and I just stared awkwardly at the situation right now until this Austin guy took off his hood from the cape.
Austin was a dirty blonde boy around the age of 18 and looked around the height of 5'9. He had olive white skin with a slight blush on his face. His eyes were a dark shade of green that made it look cute or hot. Finally, he wore a red tee shirt with black pants along with a silver cape and boots.
"Calm down Master!" Austin first scolded the Master while trying to get him to sit down along with Hibiki helping out.
"URGGH…I'm gonna go get some fresh air outside, be right back Blondie." Laxus said while sticking out his tongue.
I quickly gave him the middle finger and mouthed, 'FUCK YOU!' before anyone in the guild were to notice.
He gave me a surprised look and was finally out of the guild. I looked back at the bar where a sad Master Bob was sitting on a chair with a scolding Austin, and a nodding Hibiki.
"Now lets go back to our conversation. As for the S-class mission, I accomplished it flawlessly and without any troubles." Austin said with a smirk planted on his face and also grabbing the attention of fan girls around him.
'Great, I have to deal with these kind of guys now, don't I?' I thought to myself slightly nauseous of that image.
"CONGRATULATIONS AUSTIN!" Master Bob said to Austin while spinning around in his bar seat. Then Hibiki and the other Trimens also going outside for some air.
"Anyway from before…" He then turned over to me, gave me a cold glare, and said, "What does a Fairy Tail mage want with Blue Pegasus?"
I finally had a chance to speak to the guy and said, "You see, I'm not a Fairy Tail mage anymore, I'm actually here to join Blue Pegasus."
Master Bob and Austin had both gasped at my statement.
"Oh my, I never knew that you quit Makarov's guild, Lucy." Master Bob confessed to me while bowing his head apologetically.
"Well in Fairy Tail, I felt betrayed by my so-called nakama and ex team mates when they replaced me with Lisanna, then had my heart broken by the Salamander. So, am I allowed to join this guild? It would be a complete honor!" I asked boldy.
'Honestly, it feels like I tell everyone that I had my heart broken by that Salamander.' I thought to myself but still had a smile on my face.
"WHY OF COURSE WE WILL ACCEPT YOU LUCY! However, will Laxus like to join the guild as well?" Master Bob said with a big fat smile on his face.
I looked toward the entrance of the guild and back at Master Bob "Now that you mention it, I never asked Laxus, so I'm not that sure." I said to the master.
"Well, I'm sure that we can ask him later. But for now, I can get a guild stamp on you!" He then told me.
"REALLY! That would be totally awesome! Thanks a bunch Master Bob!" I yelled to him while giving him a hug around his wide body.
"It's no problem at all deary!" He had sung while letting go off the hug and off to find the guild stamp.
Austin walked over to where I was and said, "Hey, I'm sorry for being a little cold to you a bit earlier. Anyway, my name is Austin and WELCOME TO BLUE PEGASUS LUCY!" While spreading his arms over his head.
"It's alright, I can understand some of the circumstances of a different guild visiting another guild, so it's completely alright with me if people acted hostile or intimidated at first, and thanks for the warm welcome! So you are an S-class mage right? What kind of magic can you use anyway?" I questioned politely to him.
"I am indeed an S-class mage and as for my magic, I use Water Pegasus Slayer magic and also Arc of Emodiment. (A/N. This is the magic that Rustyrose used during the Tenrou Arc. Where he would imagine something in his mind and it would appear in front of him.) So, what type of magic do you have Lucy?" Austin said.
"I use celestial magic with my gate keys. Plus, that sounds super AMAZING to do magic that is related to the guild. But if I were to think about it, I only heard about dragon and god slayers, not Pegasus slayers." I said while looking up as if trying to recall it.
"Yeah it's a rare and lost magic that can be learned from a Pegasus or have a lacrima implanted into a person. As for me, I had a lacrima implanted into me a long time ago. Plus upon further research, I learned that Pegasus slayers are much more agile, smarter, and powerful compared to a dragon slayer but not strong enough to challenge a god slayer." Austin explained to me.
"Oh that's so cool! Would you like to see my gate keys?" I asked excited.
"Sure, that would be just great." Austin said while nodding his head yeah.
I took my key ring that had my spirits around them and gave them to Austin. "Here they are, just try and be careful, they are my precious friends."
"Yeah." He looked through every single key individually and I saw his eyes widen. "You have Aries and Leo?"
"Yep…I got them from a girl on the Oracion Seis that was neglecting them, so now I possess 10 out of the 12 golden gate keys." I said cheerfully.
"That is quite impressive, plus I must thank you for putting Angel in custody. She DID kill one of our members and we as a guild deserve justice. Plus, it's nice to see Karen's keys back in the Blue Pegasus guild."He said.
Now I was looking at him in surprise… "Wait, how do you know that Angel murdered Karen and that these were her keys." I asked him suspiciously.
In my head I tried to recall who know of this information it was me, Natsu, and… HIBIKI!
"Don't worry, my old friend Hibiki told me about Angel killing Karen." Austin confessed.
"Oh well, then that must be ok. It was thanks to him that I was able to defeat Angel in the first place when he showed me Urano Metria. Are you and Hibiki good friends?" I asked intently.
"YEP! Me and him go back at least 13 years ago. We were the only children in the neighborhood, making us to play with one another a lot. Then, 4 years ago, we both joined Blue Pegasus and went separate ways. Hibiki went on a path with the Trimens and Ichiya to learn more about his Archive and help people in need while I went on the path to become much more stronger, learn more about my Water Pegasus Slayer magic, and also help people in need." Austin said with a big smile on his face.
"That sounds fun, but do you have a team?" I said questionably.
"Of course, it's called Team Austin. I work with my partners Violet and Masaru. Also with my gexa Peewee!" Austin said with a toothy grin showing.
"Oh that sounds amazing, but where are your partners right now and what's a gexa?" I asked.
"Well, Violet and Masaru went on a job without me, however they are not an S-class like me. Then, a gexa is a flying dog. You see, gexa's are attracted to Pegasus Slayers as exceeds are attracted to Dragon Slayers. I can call Peewee if you want to meet her right now." He said.
"Sure! I would love to meet her right now!" I answered.
'Somehow, I know that this would be the start of a beautiful relationship within the guild.' I thought happily.
*WHISTLES LOUDLY*
"PEEWEE! I WANT YOU TO MEET SOMEONE!" Austin yelled throughout the guild. Most of the guild members looked shocked but I just brushed it off.
"Shut up…people are starting to stare now." I yelled quietly at him.
"Whatever, says the annoying blondie yelling at me now." He countered back. Obviously he does NOT know he is dealing with.
Now my blood pressure is on the rise and I immediately grab him in a headlock. More people were starting to stare at us…maybe it has to due with the fact that I'm a newcomer to the guild and putting one of the most advanced wizards in a headlock.
"Lets get something clear. NEVER call me blondie, I already have enough people calling me that nickname. Also, considering the fact that you are also blonde. Secondly, call me annoying, and just you wait because I will get ya." I said while loosening the headlock.
I finally let go completely of the headlock, helped Austin to his feet, and looked at the other guild mates who were currently wearing shocked faces until I heard them burst into cheers.
(FAVORITE SCENE RIGHT HERE: AT LEAST MY OPINION!)
I looked at the guild mates who were now saying, "OMG! I cant believe that she was able to do that to Austin!" and "This was the power of a Fairy Tail mage! That's amazing!" I smiled at the fact of how many people were praising me until I got tackled to the floor hard.
"KYAAA! WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT FOR!" I yelled at the top of my lungs and the other guild members left to gasp.
My back was entirely on the wooden floor with someone holding my hands above my head with his hands also. I looked up to see that bastards face and it turned out to be none other than…AUSTIN!
"I can't let you take the entire spotlight now can I?" He whispered with a deep and raspy voice. Somehow, that made my spine shiver and goose bumps to appear on my skin.
I saw him inching his face closer to mine…'OMGOMGOMGOMGOMG! IS HIS GOING TO KISS ME? WHAT DO I DO?! DAMN IT WHERE IS MASTER FUCKIN BOB WHEN I NEED HIM?!' I thought to myself while also panicking.
Then, I noticed his eyes and how deep shade of a green they were upon further inspection. Involuntarily, I felt my head inch itself towards his, our eyes shutting close, and our lips just 1 tiny inch apart until…
"AUSTIN! IM HERE! DID YOU CALL FOR ME?" A high pitched voice screamed to the guild. (SORRY, JUST HAD TO DO IT! DON'T TRY AND FIND ME JUST SO YOU CAN KILL ME! SO SOOOORRRYY!)
Both Austin and I open our eyes immediately and get off each other while still having a blush face. Also noticing that the other guild mates were dog whistling and going, "OOOOHHH!" or "AWWWW!"
I turned to see who interrupted the ALMOST KISS and I saw a pure white dog with pink highlights on all 4 paws and tip of the tail and ears. Finally, I saw a neon pink guild mark on her back. Guess what her favorite color is…
(IT'S GREEN! Bitches, if you thought it was pink, then you were WRONG! Sorry, anyway back to the story…)
I saw Austin walk up to the little white and pink dog and say, "Peewee, you have THE WORST timing EVER!"
I saw Peewee snicker as she activated her Aera and flew over to my leg. "Well, nice to meet you Lucy! I see that Austin was about to give you quite the welcome gift right?" While also nudging my right leg and leaving me to blush a scarlet on my cheeks.
However, I'm guessing that people noticed me blushing because now they started to laugh joyfully.
'Guess that the time I will spend in Blue Pegasus will be a long one!' I thought to myself while also laughing with the guild.
(3rd Person P.O.V)
Yet, what some people failed to miss that there was a very furious and pissed off Laxus and Hibiki at the entrance of the guild.
OMG! I completed chapter 11 for, 'Turning Your Back on a Nakama.' This is so far my longest chapter so far and I feel really excited. Now, there is a new love rival for the competiton of Lucy's heart, Austin. Who will win this in the end? Currently, I'm holding a poll on my page, SO PLEASE REMEMBER TO VOTE! So, I introduced a new type of magic, Pegasus Slayer and their partners, a gexa. PLEASE STAY TUNED FOR THE NEXT AND EXCITING CHAPTER! See y'all again soon!
