Chapter 22

(A/N: Ok, so here is where things start getting gruesome, but I mainly wanted to let you guys know about the voice Lucy heard. So far, only one person guessed it. If no one else got it, I'll give you a hint. I mentioned him earlier in the story and he has not made an appearance. Good luck guessing, onto the story!)

"HELL'S TRANSFORMATION: DEMON!"

A blinding black light erupted right beneath Lucy a began to spin around her, crating a vortex. The scar on Lucy's turned black and changed into a massive crack that spread over her entire face. Her nails turned black as well and became razor sharp claws, she also grew fangs. Her clothing also transformed. Lucy was now wearing ripped up black legging that reached mid thigh and exposed her feet, a purple sleeveless suit that resembled a one piece swimsuit, and she now had black markings on her arms that resembled tiger stripes. Her eyes still glowed black while she had her wings and she finally grew purple demon horns. Lucy's hair was now also black with purple streaks in it and was ankle length. The light soon vanished and Lucy let out a demonic screech.

"Incredible! So this is the power we've been seeking." said Akuma. By then, Zorra had removed her foot off of Ryu's back, but he remained on the ground in shock.

"Lucy, what happened to you?" Ryu murmured. He only remembered Lucy being kind and innocent, so Ryu would've never expected this of Lucy.

"I bet even if she is in this form, she still can't beat the four of us." said Zorra cockily.

Lucy's eyes were covered by her bangs, but her mouth was visible, so people could see the evil smile that grew on her face. In the blink of a eye, Lucy ran towards her enemy and did the unexpected. She had shoved her hand through Zorra's lower left stomach, along with the armor. Zorra and everyone else watching didn't know what just happened, but they all soon realized what happened.

"G-GAH!" Zorra screamed in agony.

Lucy swiftly pulled her hand, only to through a powerful right hook at her face to send Zorra flying into the wall that was yards behind her with great force. The wall crumbled on impact and her waste down was then completely buried. Zorra was officially down for the count.

"Zorra!" Ruki shouted.

Lucy still wore her evil smile during that whole time. Even after that, all Lucy did was lick the blood off her arm. After that, she turned to the other nights slowly still hiding her eyes. Lucy quickly snapped her head up, revealing her pitch black eyes to the enemy and charged once again.

"Ruki, stop her!" ordered Akuma.

Ruki quickly reacted by created a rock wall in front of their group, but Lucy easily crashed right through the wall like it was nothing. Lucy then clawed Ruki right across his chest, also shattering the armor. Afterwards, she grabbed his face and slammed him into the ground two times before throwing him across the ground, causing him to skid across the ground before skidding to a halt. He also ending up unconscious.

"Dammit. Chiki!" said Akuma.

Chiki then began to use his own magic. First, he tried making so much air come down on her, that it would be like 10 times normal gravity, but Lucy was acting like it was nothing and continued to lurk towards the remaining two. Chiki then made air rapidly rise under her and sent her flying into the air. But, that actually gave Lucy a more perfect opportunity. She created a pitch black spear in her hands and this time it wasn't just magical light. It was a real solid spear. She used her wings to hover in the air thanks to the extra and threw the spear straight at Chiki at high speeds. Incredibly, it pierced him right through the right shoulder.

"AH!" Chiki wailed.

He quickly fell to the ground, holding his shoulder in pain. The wind soon stopped after he fell. Lucy then suddenly appeared right beside him. She gripped the spear's handle and forcefully yanked it out of his shoulder. Chiki let out an ever louder scream. Lucy then placed her hand over his mouth and lifted him into the air. He tried to get her to let go, but to no avail. Lucy smiled a little wider before throwing him into the wall, leaving him in the same position as Zorra. Now, only Akuma remained.

"Great job Lucy! Now only Akuma's left." Ryu said as he was kneeling on the ground. Lucy didn't even flinch from that. Lucy began to slowly turn her head in his direction, only revealing of her black eyes and looking emotionless. Ryu was curious why Lucy was now looking at him.

"L-Lucy?" Ryu said questionably.

Lucy then completely turned so that she was facing him. Neither one moved, but suddenly, Lucy regained her wicked smile once again. If it weren't for Ryu's instincts, he wouldn't have been able to do what he did next. He wouldn't have been able to jump out of the way when Lucy charged at him at incredible speed. She left a small crater where she hit the ground. Ryu quickly got back on his feet.

"Lucy! What was that about!? I'm not your enemy, I'm your friend!" Ryu called out. Lucy was standing in the small crater, slightly slouching, and didn't seem to react to that. But, she let out a small laugh and slowly turned her head in his direction once again, this time with her evil smile.

"No one's my friend. No one's my enemy. All are my prey." Lucy said in a demonic tone. Ryu's eyes shrunk and he began to shake uncontrollably.

"Th-that's not Lucy." Ryu thought.

"Alright, I just can't sit here any more hearing her talk like that!" Juvia declared as she jumped over the ledge of the stands.

"Same here!" said Sting as he also jumped. Rogue and Rufus soon followed. They began to run towards their teammate.

"Lucy!" cried out Juvia.

"Lucy, you have stop it!" Sting shouted. Lucy looked to the side of where her friends were coming from. Hey eyes were hidden once again and at first she, she showed no emotion. But soon enough, one eye became visible and her smile could become any wider and evil, it did.

"More...prey." Lucy said under her breath while licking her lips. She then used her incredible speed to vanish out of site.

"Where'd she go?!" exclaimed Rogue. But, that questioned was answered when Rufus was sent flying while letting out a loud scream, and where he once stood, stood Lucy.

"Rufus!" Sting shouted.
