Chapter 14
Every body in the entire arena were either dead silent or just murmuring about what just happened. The people who were the most surprised were probably the other guild, especially Fairy Tail. All of the members were all dumbstruck.
"Y-you're...really Lucy?" Gray stuttered as she stood in front of him.
"Of course it's me. But don't forget, we have a fight to finish." said Lucy as she got into a fighting stance. Gray stepped back.
"No. I...I can't fight you." said Gray, staring at the ground. Lucy got annoyed, so she ran towards him and was able to throw a hard enough punch to make hi hit his head on the ground and fall unconscious.
"Th-the winner is L-Lucy of Saber Tooth." Chapati said, still trying to put together all that happened.
On the field, Lucy took in a deep breath and decided to wait there, knowing that Fairy Tail would be coming any moment now and when she turned around, she was right. Fairy Tail's team, along with Levy, Wendy and Happy were coming her way. They were all calling her name. Gray had regained consciousness by now.
"Lucy! I'm so happy you're ok!" Happy cried as he flew towards Lucy.
Before he could reach her, Lucy swung her right hand around and slapped Happy across the face with the back of her hand. Everyone was surprised by her action. Happy floated back away from Lucy, holding his now red cheek, dumbstruck.
"L-Lucy?" Happy said with tears in his eyes.
"Stay away from me, you flying rat." Lucy growled. She then put her attention on the rest of the Fairy Tail members in front of her.
"Lucy, what happened to you?" asked Wendy shakily.
"You guys should know." said Lucy as she crossed her arms. Guilt was written across all of their faces because they all knew what Lucy was referring to.
"Lucy, we're sorry. We just-" Natsu began.
"You just what!? You just wanted me out of the way because I was a helpless, useless weakling!? I don't want to hear your excuses! You all treated me like trash, and for what!? What did I ever do to you that would cause you all to do that to me!?" Lucy shouted. Levy and Wendy were both on the brink of tears by now from what she was saying. They all knew what Lucy was saying was true. They neglected her, and for what?
"But, why Saber Tooth? Of all the guilds." Erza asked, not looking Lucy in the eye.
"Because unlike other guilds, they didn't have a good relationship with Fairy Tail. And not only me, but she also found people who matter to us." Lucy explained.
Then said people came from behind her. Sting, Rogue, Rufus, and Mizu. Mizu stood beside Lucy. The Fairy Tail members thought she was a friend that Lucy had made, but, then Mizu did the same thing as Lucy and cut off most of her braid which made her hair come undone and turn back to blue. Her hair now rested on her shoulders.
"Juvia?!" they all exclaimed.
"I'm disappointed that you all forgot about me." said Juvia.
"What we really should be disappointed about is that they never thought of us as family. They never bothered to come after us and they didn't even try to make us stay. They always thought of us to be weak." said Lucy.
"That's not true!" Wendy cried.
"We always thought of you as family!" Gray shouted.
"More lies!" both Juvia and Lucy yelled. All of the Fairy Tail members took a step back after being yelled at by the two girls. Sting had then placed a hand on Lucy's shoulder and Rogue did the same with Juvia.
"We aren't coming back to Fairy Tail and that's final!" Lucy shouted.
"Then how about we make a bet?" Natsu suggested.
"What do you mean?" asked Lucy.
"If Fairy Tail wins the games, you have to rejoin Fairy Tail." Natsu said. Suddenly, Lucy lunged forward and slapped Natsu hard enough to leave a red mark on his cheek. When Natsu looked up, he saw a fuming Lucy standing above him.
"You bastard! First, you think you can just treat us like trash, then you think you can just take us away from our friends and family!? You didn't even consider Juvia's and my feelings! Damn! I hate you!" Lucy yelled.
Natsu couldn't believe what he was hearing. Lucy, the girl who had saved him and who he had saved multiple times, the girl who he had formed a team with had just slapped him and said she hated him. The other Fairy Tail members couldn't believe what they were hearing either. Sting put his hands on Lucy' shoulders from behind to try and calm her down.
"Alright, let's go. We shouldn't be around them." said Sting.
"Fine." Lucy said.
Sting then began to lead Lucy back to their area by holding her hand. Rogue began to do the same with Juvia and Rufus just followed silently. The Fairy Tail group just stood there for a few moments before going back as well. When they all got back inside, they all practically fell apart. Gray punched the wall, Wendy and Levy fell to their knees and began to cry, Erza began to cry silently, and Natsu just stood against the wall and was shocked from what happened, but they all knew what has happened. They lost two family members today.
*With Fairy Tail*
The other members of Fairy Tail were all talking what they just saw, but the first master, Mavis was preoccupied with the magic that Lucy used.
"Makarov." said Mavis.
"Yes. I saw the magic that she used." said Makarov.
"I guess it may be best to tell her about the new power she has obtained." Mavis suggested.
"Agreed." Makarov said. So, they both left the stands and began to go find Lucy and tell her about he new magic. Heaven's and Hell's magic.
