Sorry for the long 'awaited' update for 'Grant my Wish'. I just recently went back to school and seriously, I died during the first die. Being homesick is bad...Bad! Anyways, I've had some thoughts into deleting this fanfiction but I'm still continuing it for now since I still have plenty of ideas to type out.
Please review, favourite or even follow 'Grant my Wish'. I've felt lonely lately.
- Celestial Hime
The cheering and murmurs that echoed the entrance as Lucy made her way outside made her insides feel uncomfortable. Is something bad going to happen? Is this some type of joke? It's unsettling when Lucy walked out of the tunnel where the dusty ground met with the concrete flooring. Quietly, Lucy made her quiet entrance where her two adopted sisters stood, smirking with dominance as they eyed every movement she made. Her thoughts were out of control - Not wanting anything bad to happen.
'Am I in trouble?'
'Why are they smirking as I walk out?'
'It has to be a joke right? If it is...It's not very funny'
Lucy stood quietly inside the arena as she looked around, scanning for Erza and her friends who sat in the crowd. Her eyes perked up when she heard someone call out her name - A familiar, mature voice was calling for her. It was a boy...No, it was a girl. The only voice who was calling her in the crowd was her close friend, Erza. "Erza! What's happening?!" Lucy cried out as she ran up to the wall where Erza and the others stood above, their faint conversation was hard to hear as the noise grew and grew. Suddenly, Lucy could hear the faint chattering in the distance. Turning around, Lucy's warm brown eyes widen with disbelief. The one-fifth stadium was now swarming with other students as they sat down.
All eyes were looking directly at Sakura and Ayame before landing on Lucy's body. "Erza! Please tell me what's happening!" Lucy begged as she looked back up, paying attention to her friends face expressions. From the shocked widen eyes to disbelief and disgust, their eyes shot glares down towards the two girls who were waving out to the crowd. Erza looked away while Gray continued to glare before releasing out a long defeated sigh. "I'm sorry Lucy...We can't do anything about it. This is a new addition to the school's system. You'll have to fight against them and win. Some reason, you cannot admit defeat or get out of the battle..." Gray said as he looked at Lucy with saddened eyes.
Their short conversation was cut from a robotic fairy that flew into the center of the battle arena. She was wearing a green tutu with a light blue corset that sparkled under the sunlight. She bowed down to Sakura and Ayame, before doing the same to Lucy.
"Good morning students. I'll be your announcer for the rest of the year - I have no name so please call me 'Fairy'. Today's battle is against Lucy Heartfilia and Team Beauty. As I already announced, you'll all have 20 minutes to defeat the opponent. No deaths can be made during this battle, only pain will be given. Artificial blood will be release to any cuts or wounds. The prize will be 2000 jewels and a golden trophy that was donated by Sakura and Ayame Heartfilia" The fairy announced.
"What?!" Lucy cried out in disbelief. "I can withdraw right?" Lucy asked once again. "No withdrawal actions can be made" The fairy answered. "Battle begins...NOW" Soon a horn was blown and without Lucy even noticing, Sakura appeared on her left before kicking her to the wall. The sudden impact on the kick made Lucy cough up blood. Slowly getting up, Lucy whinced at the pain where Sakura had kicked. As Lucy looked up, the two girls were nowhere to be seen until someone tapped her shoulder, making her turn around. Immediately, Ayame squatted down as she turned around, making a low kick on Lucy's knee which made her fall down.
"Where's Luce?!" Natsu questioned as he hastily ran and jumped up, his wings appearing on his back as it flapped. Landing quietly and trying not to be noticed on the huge emblem statue, Natsu looked down from where he was standing where he saw Lucy being disadvantaged as the two girls attacked her from each side. "What in the world?" Natsu took a whiff of the air, the smell of magic flowed into his nostrils as he smelt the air.
"Magic..."
Lucy composed herself as she stood back up, she really didn't want to fight but if she wants to make it out with no pain, she definitely had to fight to protect herself. Slowly, she closed her eyes and inhaled before opening her eyes. When she did, she blocked a punch coming from Ayame before elbowing her chest. As Ayame coughed, Lucy grabbed Ayame's arm and swung her over to the charging Sakura with the help of her back. The sudden combat made everyone cheer in excitement.
"Since when did they get stronger?" Lucy grunted as she dodged their attacks. There was no time for her to do anything; Any actions such as grabbing her keys and whip would always get interfered by one of them. 'I can't get anything' Lucy complained as she dodged the upcoming attack. There was no high chance in actually getting out of this with no harmful pains.
"Luce..." A voice echoed through her train of thoughts as she blocked the swift movements. The concern, mature voice repetitively called for her attention as she fought, "Natsu?" Lucy coughed up when she received a punch in her stomach. "Wish for something! You're going to lose if you don't do something!" Natsu begged through her mind. Of course, Lucy didn't understand what Natsu was trying to say. Slowly, she got back up with blood suddenly flowing out of an unnoticed cut on her cheek. This was beyond Lucy's expectation in their fight.
The swift movements, strong magic, strong fighting skills - What happened to their cocky selves?
"I guess I'll have to force my way into winning" Lucy mumbled as she gathered up all of her courage. Quickly, Lucy grabbed her keys, "Open the Gate of the Golden Bull! Taurus!" Lucy summoned as she sliced through the air. A ringing bell was heard as the gate opened - A warm light glowed in front of Lucy before it transformed into a humanoid bull. "MOOO! Lucy's body is the best. What can I do for you Lucy?" Taurus asked as he grabbed out his axe as he blocked a kick. "Thank you for the compliments you pervert cow but can you please do your best to defeat them?" Lucy asked as she pointed his key out to Sakura who was running towards them.
Taurus gave Lucy a thumbs up before swinging his axe towards Sakura who easily dodged it by sliding onto the dusty ground as the axe quickly swung above her. She thought it was easy, fighting against a humanoid cow but she was indeed wrong. Taurus who waited for the perfect moment as he swung his axe, he suddenly swung his right leg which kicked Sakura in the stomach.
"Awesome Taurus!" Lucy cheered as she took out her whip before whipping it to Ayame who stood there shocked, "Got ya!" Lucy cheered once more as she swung the caught brown-haired girl to Sakura who was slowly getting up. The crashing noise was indeed loud. Taurus returned back to his world as Lucy took out an another key. "Open the Gate of the Maiden! Virgo!" Lucy chanted again which Virgo soon appeared from the glowing light, "Punishment princess?" Virgo asked as she bowed down to Lucy. "No punishment. Please trap them into a hole!" Lucy asked politely. "Very well princess. I'll receive my punishment someday" Virgo replied as she drilled herself down into the ground before suddenly jumping out beside the two girls, she then dived down, pushing Sakura and Ayame into the hollow ground where Virgo just digged.
At this point, Lucy was panting and obviously Virgo knew that she was absorbing too much of Lucy's magic. "I'll be going now princess" Virgo announced before closing her gate. Lucy was going to collapse onto the ground to catch her breath but a sudden yell surprised her. "I wish that we're both really strong! Stronger than the she-devil Mirajane!" The voice screamed out.
"What?!" Lucy cried out as her eyes widened. Soon, a pillar of pink light striked down into the hole and soon Sakura and Ayame jumped out of the hole. Levitating with wings on their back, an armor was worn on their bodies, the exact replica of Mirajane Strauss's Soul Take Over. "I wish that the battle timer stops!" Sakura screamed as she pointed up into the timer which soon stopped ticking.
Murmurs were now echoing the stadium as they processed what was happening. "Lucy...This is magic. They have demons who are like me. Wish for something" Natsu said through telepathy. "I refuse to give up. If I want to be in the guild Fairy Tail, I'll fight until I cannot stand!" Lucy cried out as she took out a golden key. "Open the Gate of the Lion! Loke!" Lucy panted as she retained her posture. "Are you alright my princess?!" Loke panicked as he supported Lucy. "I'm fine. Please do whatever you can to defeat them" Lucy instructed, trying to catch her breath. "I won't let you down princess" Loke said as he walked up forward as he winked at her.
As Loke walked up, he took on his casting stance, with a deep inhale, "Lion Brilliance!" Loke mumbled as he released out a large amount of bright light from his body. The light was indeed strong, it blinded Sakura's and Ayame's eye sight. "It's so bright!" Sakura screamed as she blocked her eyes. "Don't look down on us!" Ayame grunted, "Shadow's Over Take!" She yelled as she released out shadows from her body. Slowly, the shadows took over Loke's Lion Brilliance, "Impossible" Loke said in disbelief as he ran over to Lucy. "You see. You're pathetic 'Onee-chan'" Ayame laughed as she landed onto the ground.
Lucy was too tired to do anything. She collapsed onto the dirt, panting as she attempted to catch her breath. "Do you want me to return Lucy?" Loke asked as he squatted down to have direct eye contact with Lucy's tired eyes. "I'm fine. Just keep on going, you don't have to force yourself to stay here if you want" Lucy replied. "Then I'll go back to the Celestial World for your safety" Loke answered. "Very well. Thank you for your help" Lucy thanked as she watched her spirit return.
"Thank you for getting rid of that annoying feline" Sakura thanked as she kicked Lucy into a brick wall. "He's not a feline. He's a friend, my nakama!" Lucy hissed back as she took out her whip, allowing it to wrap around Sakura's ankle. With a fierce yank, Lucy was able to make Sakura fall back onto her bottom, "Ouch! That hurts you blondie! But that's not going to make me lose!" Sakura yelled out as she flapped her wings, lifting herself higher and higher, without any announcement, she made a quick turn which made Lucy release her whip, making her fly into the crowd.
Lucy waited for the moment of pain as she flew into the crowd but a soft thud of contact made her open her tightly closed eyes. Quietly, she slowly looked up to see who she crashed into and soon her eyes met with two pairs of eyes - Sting and Natsu. Natsu was now visible and was wearing the school uniform that the boys were wearing. He was beside Sting who had his tie slightly loosen with his earcuff vigorously swing from side to side from his sudden movement. "Thank you" Lucy mumbled as she blushed, looking away awkwardly from the two boys who sighed in relief.
"Wish for something Lucy..." Natsu whispered in her ear which made her jerk. "I wish to become stronger...A Dragon Slayer" Lucy whispered back as she stood up.
Natsu smirked as he stood up, "Sure thing Luce!" Natsu cheered with his signature smile. Slowly, Lucy felt her magic increasing and soon she was inside a ball that had stars flying around it. Wanting to get out, she quickly released out her energy which made the ball burst - Its stars flying everywhere as if it was a meteor shower. "Amazing..." Wendy said in awe as she caught a falling star. "So this is the power of the Celestial Dragon Slayer..." Principal Makarov said as he watched the stars fly past his office window.
"Congrats Luce! You're now a Celestial Dragon Slayer!" Natsu cheered. "I will not forgive those who diss my friends! Sakura...Ayame...I will not lose" Lucy said confidently as she jumped down into the arena where the two girls stood. "You can do it Lucy!" Wendy cried out. "Don't give up Lucy!" Erza screamed. "Show what you're made out of!" Gray called out as he fist-pumped the air.
