Gah! I realize I haven't been around in a incredibly long time! Completely swamped in tests and stuff. My plot nekos then came up with about 50 stories in that period of time, so my head was a little fuzzy on where I was going with this.

Review Replies:

Cindy: I can't really decide weather that's creepy or nice, but thank you!
Lost Idea Alchemist- It's a secret, but I hope it'll be twisted enough so you don't guess it. Oh, and about the PMing thing... ahaha, I don't actually know how to do it myself...
rieai: Thank you! I hope it won't get confusing.
Nance-chan: Thanks for reading, I know it's a bit of a skip between chapters 2 & 3. ReianaA- Here's your update, sorry it's so late! (... Did I just rhyme?)

On with my hopefully good story!

Chapter 4- Screwed

Where am I...? Lucy thought, surrounded in seemingly never-ending darkness. When she stood, she could neither tell if she was standing or sitting, laying or hanging. Was the surface she was standing on even there?

Clumsily moving, she made her way in the first direction she knew.

'Move forward. I'm not going to get out of wherever-this-is if I stay here.' The blond told herself taking steps. Feeling to her belt, it seemed as if her keys and whip were still there, as well as the bag containing her books.

Remembering the events leading to her current predicament, she thought.

'Why did it seem like that light flashed when I asked to know the truth? Why can't I see anything?'

It seemed like days to Lucy, but truthfully, it was only a few hours.

Feeling tired with the lack of food, she decided to stop and lay down, using her bag as a pillow.

And if almost on queue, she wasn't there.

Looking up, she saw five thrones in front of her. And on top of each, five of the most dazzling beings she had ever seen, gods in here eyes.

The first, sat on an intricate stool of flowers and plants, weaved together. The greenest and softest moss seemed to adorn the cushion. The being who sat on top had porcelain white skin, almost like the snow that dusted the tops of the trees in the winter. Her hair was a brilliant forest green, small flowers woven into it. The girl wore a white, simple gown that stopped at her knees, and couldn't have been bigger taller than Wendy.

The second seemed he was sitting on a throne of flames, but they didn't scare her. 'Warm and kind, like home...' She thought. They blazed of every color. The person sitting on top had visibly tan skin, and wore a T shirt with pants. About the size and build of Natsu. Plain black pants that stopped at his knees, and sandals. Piercing fire-like eyes that seemed to dance with color and life, and red hair.

The third she almost had to shield her eyes to look at. Beautiful sparking gems of every color seemed to be imbedded into the throne, which looked as if it was made from branches of crystal, grown into the shape of a backed chair. The woman who sat gracefully on top had hair the color of silver, and eyes shone of a color Lucy had never seen. She wore a dress the color of sapphire, the same gem sewn into every fold of the dress.

The fourth seemed to radiate a cool freeze even being near. The throne was completely ice, spikes pointing in all directions. A raven haired male sat on top. He wore a simple blue cloak, and a silver band with tiny writing was around his finger.

The fifth and final person sat on top of a throne completely woven of stars. She had a black shirt and skirt on, star patterns lining it. Long black hair was braided behind her back, and her eyes seemed to shine like two tiny stars themselves.

Lucy thought she was in the presence of five gods.

"You are Lucy Heartfilia, yes?" The girl on the throne of flowers asked.

"Y-yes." The blonde replied, not really sure what would happen to her.

"No need to be frightened, we're not going to hurt you." The man sitting on the throne of fire reassured her.

Slowly, a cushion made of soft moss rose from under her, as well as a cup of steaming tea and cookies to rose from the ground. Thanking them, Lucy eagerly began to eat while the five talked to her.

"I am Aki of the sacred shine. The first warrior."
"I am Blade of the burning heavens, the second warrior."
"I am Midori of the Elixir of Life, the third warrior. Nice to meet you! "
"I am Kin of the River of Jewels, the fourth warrior."
"I am Runen of the freezing skies. Fifth warrior."

After introducing themselves, and Lucy eagerly eating the cookies, something dawned on her.

'It couldn't be... The 5 people from that legend that the old lady told me?!' Logically, that wasn't possible. 120 million years. That made Zeref look like a new-born.

"It' been forever since we last had anyone but us in here, so welcome!" Midori squealed. She ran up to hug Lucy, a flower seeming to unfold everywhere she stepped.

"Ah... Nice to meet you too Midori-san." Lucy said in slight shock towards the gesture.

"Your expression right now is priceless..." Runen was laughing from his throne of ice.

"If you're wondering, we all turn like... 120,000,001 this year. We're technically the people of legend you were hearing about." He continued, an amused smirk still gracing his lips.

'Not stripping constantly like gray, but sorta-kinda like him...'

"Hmm... So you're my reincarnation." Aki said from her throne of stars.

"... Reincarnation?"

"I believe I'm the first in history to see mine, or you." A wide smile gracing her lips.

"All life, when it dies will become a living being once again in the distant future. All of us here formally died 119,999,982 years ago at approximately the age of 18," (A/N: Yep, I used a calculator. I hate math.) "So our spirits have a chance to go into a new cycle. It seems you and I share a spirit." Aki finished.

Lucy had a expression of complete surprise. Like the just-got-smacked-in-the-face wake up call type.

"Ah... So almost like... You're me?" Lucy said, wide-eyed.

"Not quite. I was the creator the the stars, celestial spirits following. You mean to tell me you are not the ruler of the celestial world?" Aki raised a brow.

"R-ruler?! No way, that's mustache man!" The blonde said, quite startled.

Something seemed then to tick Aki off. "Damn you Sora... LU-cy not LA-ki! I left specific directions for heritage lines!" She said, very much so resembling Lucy when she was ticked off.

"Wait... Does that mean that the rest of the future that we tried so hard to prevent is currently upon us?" Kin stands, a jewel embedding into the floor the second she touched the ground.

"Who is the current princess?"

"I-I think Hisui the third..."

"Did all the dragons go poof on the year X777?"

"Natsu said something about that..."

"Did Fairy Tail promptly kick you out of the guild 'cause you were weak a few months ago?"

"Y-you don't have to put it so bluntly..."

"The sky is blue right? Doesn't change color?"

"Not to my knowledge..."

"Is Zeref a black mage?"

"Yup."

"Have you almost gotten blasted by Anocologia's roar before? Like on an island name Tenrojima?"

"That, I will never forget."

"Did you almost get turned into a clock by some ancient artifact?"

"Regrettably yes. Are you guys done interrogating me?"

The five other figures in the room looked at each other.

"Screwed." Then they all fell face-first off their thrones.

It's kinda short, I know. I have a lot of time this weekend, it's a goal to update this more often. I hope you liked, please review! Until next time,
