Chapter 14

The members of the guild are spread out in a circle, standing near the wall leaving the middle of the field free for Lucy to practice her magic. She holds the key in her hand, and closes her eyes. She concentrates and activates her magic by saying the words, "I am connected with the path to the celestial spirit world! Heed my call! Pass through the gate! Open, Gate of the Unformed, Rudis!"' At that moment, a wide, light blue magic circle appears under Lucy and she is engulfed in bright light. We cover our eyes and wonder what the hell happened. The bright light slowly recedes and Lucy comes back into focus. There is a small ball of white light hovering in front of her. Lucy looks astonished and bewildered at the same time.

There is an echoing voice that seems to come from the ball of light that says, "I am the spirit of the Unformed. I have waited many, very long years for someone to open my gate. I wondered if anyone was smart enough or stupid enough to try."

Lucy gapes, "But what is your form? You are just a ball of light. Wait, are you even the real 14th Golden key?" She asks. I think all of us are gaping.

"How dare you doubt the legendary key!" The echoing voiced booms. We gasp and take a step back, including Lucy herself. The ball of light sighs. "I am sorry for losing my composure. Of course, I am legendary after all so you may think I was a hoax. However I am not. I am the real, legit 14th Golden Key."

We stare at it. The voice continues, "I am a spirit of no form. That is why, I am called the Unformed. I only take a form when my master wills me too."

"But I didn't know what your form is, and now you appeared as a ball of light." Lucy says.

"Yes indeed, I felt it through your magic. But you did not have a specific form in your mind." The voiced pauses and says, "Tell me, Lucy Heartfilia, did the image of ball of light flashed to your mind at any point during the time you summoned me?"

She looks up and slowly nods. "That is why I became a ball of light. My master has to have a specific form in their mind before summoning me." The spirit explains.

"So what you're saying is, if I were to imagine you as a cat" (She glances at me quickly) "you would come out as a cat?" 'Why me? Can't she look at Happy or someone else?'

"Yes, that is correct. No form is impossible."

"Right now, can you change your shape from a ball of light into something else? Let's say a very small pink dragon?"

I am curious. Well this should be interesting. The ball of light said, "I would have to return to the Celestial Spirit World in order to do that."

"Won't that take a long time? What if I'm in battle and you just disappeared?" Lucy argues. She has a point. 'Leaving her in the middle of a battle to transform is stupid, she may as well not call you out' I think to myself.

"You have little faith in me, young lady. I am not called the legendary key for nothing." With that, the ball of light shines brighter and not even a second pass, a small pink dragon with spiky tails appears in front of Lucy. 'Wow, man that was fast. Legendary indeed.' Silent applaud in my head.

"Hey, you turned into the same exact image I had in my head!" She exclaims.

The dragon bends its knees to show that it's bowing down and says, "Of course, I can see whatever image you willed me to be." Then, all of us clap and cheer for Lucy and the small pink dragon as if on cue. Amazing. That was just awesome!

Lucy fidgets, and asks in a small voice, "Would you like to make a contract with me?"

"Ah, you humans value things only by its strength and capabilities, always judging by appearance first, not for what's inside." The small dragon says. Hey, he has a point.

Lucy looks like she's about to cry. Oh shit, I think all of us are shocked here. She composes herself quickly and says in a confident voice, "Excuse me? I never judge anyone by their appearance! I value my friends for their kindness, their heart and loyalty, not by their strength or weaknesses! You don't even know me and yet, you are the one that is judging me." 'Damn girl, that's so true. I applaud you on this one. Yo dragon, you got nothing against this argument', I smirk at the dragon. I hear everyone sigh.

The small dragon laughs, "Ah, you are a very brave girl and strong-willed. I can see that in your heart, your mind and in your eyes. My previous master was greatly influenced by greed and arrogance, that he thought he was invincible. He slew everything that was worthless and weak. I am sorry for coming to a conclusion so quickly. I apologize. I accept your offer humbly, and may we work and get along well together." The dragon bows again. He turns to look at my direction, and says, "I thank you for stumbling upon my key in that useless shop, if not for you I would still be stuck there or end up in the wrong hands." I nod at the dragon to acknowledge his statement. The guild cheers and claps again.

After Lucy finish making the contract, Natsu says, "Hey Lucy, let's try out your new key!"

"What do you mean?" She stammers. 'Ahah! I think I know what he's asking!'

"I believe Natsu wants to have a duel with you using your new key." Erza says. 'Ding-ding, I'm right!'

"Err I just got it. I haven't practiced..." She looks worried but Levy says, "You can use this as a practice." Natsu can't let anybody breathe can he?

Lucy shrugs and turns to Natsu, "Fine, but don't overdo it." She looks at the dragon and it nods. 'You go girl!' I cheer silently in my head.

"I'm all fired up!" Natsu says and charges at the dragon with flaming hands. Natsu is fast, but the dragon is faster. It dodges and flies into the air. "Heyy, not fair, get back to the ground!" Natsu yells. He has a point.

"Sorry, my bad." The dragon apologizes and lands on the grass. Natsu looks like he is sucking the air as much as he can; he shouts "Roar of the fire dragon!" and blows out a massive hot flame directly at the dragon. The dragon dodges again and blows its own flames at Natsu. However, the flames disappear slowly as Natsu sucks all of the fire and wipes his mouth saying that "it was delicious." 'Umm, fire is delicious?' I wonder.

"Ahh, a fire dragon slayer! Very nice." The dragon compliments and Natsu gives him a thumbs up. The dragon turns to Lucy and say, "I should go back and tell everyone the good news and you're getting tired. Goodbye all." and disappears. 'That was fast?'Something clicked in my brain – 'Oh, Natsu is a fire dragon slayer that eats fire.'

"Whaaattt! We're just getting started!" Natsu complains. "Come back you bastard!" He is also a hot-head.

Lucy collapses to the ground. We run towards her and see her staring up at the sky. "Oh boy, I need to improve my magic if I ever want to use that key to fight." We laugh and a few members help her up and I back away from the crowd.

I turn to walk back towards the tree when someone calls out my name. I turn around to see it was Erza. "Lia, will you show us your magic?"

Ohhh shit.


Hahah Lia's "Ohhh shit." :'D

So, Lucy acquired a new gold key! Natsu, as always 'volunteering' to fight.
