Neko: Haha… I felt like writing more chapters… I have another story in mind… but I'm not going to post it up yet until I finish this story because my ideas will get mixed up… But just saying that it may take a while…
Ch15: Tenrou Island
Lucy POV:
I finished training with all the dragons. It took five months with everyone else. It was probably because Nashi wasn't growing in my stomach anymore. I took her with me when I went to train. I couldn't always watch over her, but there was always Ignee and Yuuki. Yuuki wanted to go and take care of Nashi. Now, I was going to train with the fairies on Tenrou Island. Everyone went to the portal and we said our goodbyes. Everyone gave a me souvenir to remember them by.
Igneel said, "Before you go, we all have one last thing to teach you…"
"I thought I learned everything already?"
"No, this is the one spell only the queen can have."
They all chanted something and a pair of angel wings appeared. It wasn't attached to my back, but a centimeter off.
"I can't walk around like this!"
"You make it go away, you just need the spell."
"What is it?"
"It's simple, just say "vanish."
I said it and it disappeared. "Then how do I make it come back? Appear?"
"Correct."
"Thank you for everything. I'll be sure to come back, but you'll have to wait until I finish training." I waved and called a portal to Tenrou Island. I went through it with Ignee and Nashi. When I got there, all I saw was nature. I explored the island looking for fairies, but found nothing but animals. I got to a grave that was glowing. I touched the glowing source and it flowed into my arm. Then, a little girl appeared.
"So Fairy Tail has come…"
"What? Fairy Tail? How do you know about them?"
She looked at me confused, "Are you not of Fairy Tail? Only members of Fairy Tail can see me."
"Well I was from Fairy Tail… not anymore… I don't know why I can see you too."
"If you have a pure Fairy Tail heart, you can see me, so that must be why. But what I'm confused about right now is how you got Fairy Glitter. I didn't really give it to you… it just flew to you…"
"Well… If you're the rightful master of Fairy Glitter, you must be the 1st master of Fairy Tail. I will give it back to you, but I just don't know how."
"No. It has chosen you. You are the rightful ruler of Fairy Glitter. May I know your name and ask who you are?"
"I'm Lucy Heartfilia. Since, you're the founder of Fairy Tail, I don't see why I should hide this from you. I'm also the queen of all, or so I've been told."
"Oh… so you're Layla's daughter…"
"Yes…"
"Then you must be here to train with the fairies."
"Yes… but I don't know where to find them…"
"They're in a different realm."
"How will I get there?"
"Go through the portal behind my grave."
"Oh… I'll get going then…"
"Now wait a minute. Don't you want to watch the S-Class Exam?"
"S-Class Exam? Fairy Tail is coming here?"
"Nope. They're already here."
"Well… I suppose I should see the outcome." I called Virgo out.
"Punishment Hime?"
"No! Can you go get me a few more limiters? I don't want anyone to know I'm here. And while you're at it, can you get me something that will change my scent?"
She bowed and left. Then, she pooped out again, "I brought the limiters. Which scent did you want? Rasberry or cinnamon?"
"Rasberry. And can you take Nashi and Ignee to the spirit world?"
"Of course." She went back into the spirit world and came back with some clothes. I put it on them and she took them to spirit world.
"I've been meaning to ask… but who were those 2?" Mavis asked.
"Uh… the girl was my daughter and the boy was a dragon."
"But you're so young!"
"I know…" I then put the limiters on. A headband, ring, wristband, and a cloak.
"Those are a lot of limiters… How many do you have?"
"Uh… 6 for now… because I haven't finished my training yet."
"That's a lot! I've only heard of a person wearing 3 limiters…"
We flew to a tree and sat there watching the exam through a lacrima because they were still on the boat.
Natsu POV:
Jii Chan chose me, pervert, Juvia, Elfman, Cana, Freed, Levy, and Mest to participate in the S-Class Exam. I chose Happy as my partner. Ice freak was with Loke. I kept pestering him about Lucy, but he won't tell me anything. Juvia partnered up with Lisanna. Elfman with Evergreen, Cana with Carla, Freed with Bickslow, Levy with Gajeel, and Mest with Wendy. When we were on the ship, I got dizzy and almost threw up, but I felt this strong and powerful aura. I raised my head up, but then it soon disappeared. Maybe I was imagining things again.
After Jii Chan explained the rules, me and Happy rushed off the boat. There were only 4 paths left because the other 4 were already taken and blocked, so we chose path E for Erza because I wanted to defeat her. Unfortunately, it wasn't Erza but Gildarts. I fought real hard, but I still ended up losing. I was scared, but Gildarts told me that fear is not evil, but a way to know one's weakness. He told me that if I knew my own weakness, I would be able to become stronger and kinder. He let me through and told me to have confidence. I walked passed him and met up with the others. Cana, Carla, Gray, Loke, Gajeel, and Levy were all waiting outside. Then Elfman and Evergreen came too.
Master came out and told us that Juvia, Freed, and Mest were out. Now, we had to find the 1st Master's grave within the time limit of six hours. Me and Happy took off trying to find the grave. I sniffed the air and smelt strawberries and vanilla. It was very faint. 'Am I thinking too much again or is Lucy actually here?'
"Happy! Do you smell Lucy?"
"Why Lucy? We're looking for a grave."
"Just smell the air." He sniffed the air.
"Aye Sir! I smell strawberries and vanilla, but it's not that strong so I don't think Lucy's here."
"You're probably right." We started to search for the grave again.
I noticed a dangerous wave of energy so I ran to it as quick as I can. Both Elfman and Evergreen were near the energy wave so I jumped onto them pushing them own to the ground. I did it just in the nick of time because the wave almost hit them. I got up and walked to the unknown man.
"Who are you and what are you doing on this island?!" The man started to cry.
"Natsu… I've been waiting for you… I can finally rest now…"
"Who are you? How do you know my name?" I punche him, but he stood back up again. Just then another wave of energy released and hit me straight on.
"It looks like you aren't ready yet… I still have to wait…"
I got up and noticed that my muffler turned black. "How dare he ruin Igneel's gift!" I was about to attack the man again but he disappeared.
Evergreen was saying that we should stop the exam for now, but Elfman and I disagreed so we continued looking for the grave.
Cana POV:
I felt a strong energy wave earlier. Carla probably felt it too. When we felt it, Carla flew away. She probably went to look for Wendy.
"Ugh! At times like this, Lucy would always come to the rescue. She's got the brains. She'll probably know where the grave's location is if she uses the clues Master gave us."
I started to think… Then I messed my hair up. "Ugh! I don't know! Carla left too! She was my only hope. Levy probably found it already… Ah… I give up." I sat down on a rock and looked into the sky. Then, someone walked over. I didn't know who it was, but I threw cards over. The person caught the cards with her 2 fingers. The person was wearing a cloak, but because of her chest size, I knew it was a girl. I couldn't see her face though.
She said, "Yo Cana. You needed help?"
'Why does she sound so familiar? How does she know my name?'
I asked her, "Who are you? How do you know me?"
She pulled down her hood and I gasped. "Lucy? Is it really you? What are you doing here? How did you know I needed your help? Am I hallucinating?"
"Yes it's me, Lucy. I'm here to help you. I heard you say that I would come rescue you at times like this, and you are not hallucinating."
I ran to her and tackled her down to a hug. "Lucy! It really is you! We missed you!"
"Haha… well… I just came to tell you where the 1st's resting place is and ask you why you were trying so hard but then gave up."
"You see, I promised myself that I'll tell my father I'm his daughter when I become an S-Class mage. I don't feel worthy enough to tell him yet because he's just so strong right now."
"Who's this father you're talking about?"
"Gildarts…"
"Nani!? Gildarts!?"
"Shhh! Keep your voice down."
"Alright then! I'll tell you where it is…" she whispered it into my ears and then a signal fire was launched into the air. I turned back to Lucy, but then she disappeared.
"Damnit! The exam is on hold… even if I do go to the grave right now, it won't count. Damnit! I lost Lucy too! Gah!"
Lucy POV:
I left Cana when I told her where the grave was at. It was a good thing someone shot a flare into the air because it gave me more time to get away. I went to sit next to Mavis again.
She said, "There's trouble Lucy. Grimoire Heart is attacking Fairy Tail."
"I know… I felt their presence…"
"Are you going to go help them?"
I shook my head, "iie (no)… I will only help them when they cannot get up to fight anymore… I believe in them... I'll stay here and watch over them for now."
Mavis nodded and we watched them fight. I watched as Pantherlily and Carla approached Wendy and Mest. They were talking and trying to get Wendy away from Mest. Then, a man came in. His name was Azuma, one of the 7 Kin of Purgatory. He destroyed Mest's battleship and fought Wendy, Lily, Mest. They were all taken down. I was about to go and help, but Azuma left.
Then there was Master, who turned into a giant. He waited for Grimoire Heart's ship. Their master, Hades, commanded everyone else to get to the island while he fights Master Makarov. Master Makarov casts Fairy Law, Hades countered it using Grimoire Law. I heard Master say that Hades was the 2nd master of Fairy Tail. I was shocked. Mavis was too, but Master seemed the most shocked. He didn't use his full power and was caught off guard. Then Hades threw a magic blast at master causing him to not be able to get up. Hades left master there and I ran to him. When I got there, Master was lying still.
"Master! Master! Wake up!"
He opened his eyes slowly, "Lu…cy? Wh… what are you doing here?" I didn't answer and started to heal him. I didn't get to heal him all the way yet, but Natsu fell from a cliff and started to yell at me to get away from him. Since I had a cloak on, he didn't know who I was.
"Jii Chan? What are you doing to him!? Get away from him!" he swung a fiery fist at me, but I dodged it. I walked away and hid in the shadows. I listened to their conversation and watched him fight.
"Jii Chan! Are you okay? Did that person do anything to you?"
Master said, "Natsu… take everyone… and escape… this fight… we won't win…"
Natsu punched his hand into the ground. "Don't say that… What about the exam? You're our master. Don't say we can't win."
"Sometimes… retreat… is the only option."
Then Zancrow jumped down from the cliff Natsu fell from and started making fun of Master because he got beaten.
"Natsu… get away Natsu… you're no match for him…" Master said.
"Even if I'm not match for him…" Natsu started to shake like when he lost to Gildarts.
Master asked, "Fear? Natsu is afraid?"
"This is fear?" Natsu asked.
"Enough… Please escape Natsu…"
"No… this is indeed fear… but it is different from what Gildarts told me. This shaking is fear that the guy who did this to Jii Chan will get wiped out by someone other than me. Master Hades… I'll be the one to destroy you. I'll never forgive you!"
"Beat Master Hades? That's so funny I'm not even laughing," Zancrow said.
Natsu started to punch Zancrow. Zancrow lit his hand up in black fire.
'Black fire? That's God flames.'
Zancrow made a ball of God flames around Natsu. Natsu tried to absorb it, but it just hurt him more. Then, Master grabbed Zancrow with his giant hand and squeezed him to try and make him let go. Zancrow created god flames around his own body, which pained master's hand. Master just kept squeezing stronger. Soon, Natsu's magic power began to vanish.
I jumped out of the shadows and kicked Zancrow, which caused Natsu to be released and got Master to let go. Natsu fell onto the ground crawling back to Master, while master watched my fight.
Zancrow coughed, "Heh! You think you can stop me? You barely even have a magic power. It's even lower than Natsu's right now."
I smirked. Zancrow saw and said…
"Wipe that smile off your face. You're about to be sent down to hell." I smirked again. He charged towards me with god flames surrounding his hands. I dodged making him run into a tree. He stood up and charged again. This time I grabbed him and slammed him on the ground. He smirked and did the same thing he did to Natsu.
"Keh! You fell for it!" He shouted. I smirked for the third time and sucked in the flames.
"What!? Just what are you!?" I finished the meal and yelled, "Elemental God Slash!" He was sent flying, but was still laughing like he won. I walked away and Master yelled, "Wait! Don't go! I don't want you to leave!"
I talked to him through telepathy. "Master, please don't tell anyone I was here. Please tell Cana that too." I then stopped the telepathy.
Master POV:
I didn't want Lucy to leave again. I didn't want to lie to the guild again. I just wanted my child back home, but she insists on becoming stronger. In my opinion, she's already super strong, probably stronger than me now. She even beat Zancrow like it was nothing.
"Jii Chan, why is Hades beating up his own comrades?"
"What? You are mistaken… that is not their master…"
"What? Wasn't he harming you earlier?"
"You are mistaken again… that is a woman, not a man… and she wasn't harming me. She was healing me. If she didn't heal me, I wouldn't have had the strength to squeeze Zancrow so hard. Heck, I wouldn't even be able to move."
"Oh… But are you alright Jii Chan?"
"I'm feeling a little better, but I don't think I can get up."
"I'll carry you…" He carried me a few feet from where the fight occurred, but then he fainted. It was probably because of his muffler. I tried to take it off, but then fainted as well.
Lucy POV:
I walked around to see if someone from Fairy Tail was in need of help. I encountered Natsu and Master again. They fainted on the ground. I healed them fully and noticed that Natsu's muffler was black. He was also having a hard time breathing, so I took the muffler off and used sky magic to try and return it to white. When it turned back to its original color, I carried them to a bush near the camp site where most of the others were. I pushed them out from the bush so someone will see them and retrieve them. Wendy, Carla, and Lily ran to get them. Wendy scanned them for injuries.
"That's weird… there's no injuries…" Wendy stated.
"Let's just get them to the tent for now," Carla said. Then Lily transformed and carried both Natsu and Master away.
I went back to searching. I found Mira and Lisanna unconscious on the floor too. I healed them and left them there. I went to look for Cana. I found Cana being controlled by Cain, so I snuck up behind Cain and pulled a piece of hair out. Then I took the doll he was holding and gave it to Cana.
"Thanks. You saved me Lucy." I nodded and she began to move the doll into all kinds of weird positions. She gave me the honors to finish him, so I did a nice kick.
"LUCY… KICK!" Cain knocked out.
"Right, Cana. Don't tell anyone I was here today alright?" I turned around and headed back to Mavis, but Cana grabbed me.
"Wait Lucy. Why are you leaving again? Just come back home." I shook my head and left.
I watched with Mavis as Fairy Tail defeated more members of Grimoire Heart. I felt a strong magic wave of energy so I decided to go take a look. I saw Natsu on the floor. He couldn't get up. Cana arrives and throws her cards at Bluenote, but he deflects it. He said, "All I want, is the location of your 1st Master's grave. I don't care about Zeref or Fairy Tail, so if you tell me, I'll let everyone go." While he was saying that, I lent Cana Fairy Glitter. A mark wrapped around her arm started to glow. I sent her a message through telepathy.
"Cana, I have lent you Fairy Glitter. Please use it. Please repeat after me, "Gather! O river of light that's guided by the fairies! Shine! In order to perish the fangs of evil! Fairy Glitter!"
She chanted half of that and Bluenote knocked her off balance. He said, "How can you have Fairy Glitter!? It wasn't there earlier! I was looking for it! Hmph! I'll just have to take it away then!" He charged at Cana, but I sent a shuriken at him, which caused him to do a back flip.
"Who did that!? Come out!" I came out and dispelled his gravitation magic, which unleashed Natsu. He got up and charged at Bluenote. He ended up missing, but continued. It bought Cana enough time though.
She yelled, "Gather! O river of light that's guided by the fairies! Shine! In order to perish the fangs of evil! Fairy Glitter!"
She ended up missing though, so Bluenote charged at Cana again. This time, Gildarts showed up and blasted him away. He told everyone to leave and that this was his battle now. We all left as he commanded. I went back to Mavis.
All of Fairy Tail lost their magic when the tree fell, but it grew back. We watched as everyone now beat every one of the 7 Kins of Purgatories were defeated. Now, there was only the Master left. Erza, Natsu, Gray, and Wendy battled the master and used unison raids while the exceeds searched for the power source of the ship, but Hades would just recover. He casted a spell towards Wendy, that I knew about, so I called Horologium to get Wendy fast. Wendy was saved and no one noticed Horologium, which was a good thing.
Hades revealed his true identity to everyone, but Natsu didn't believe him. Hades defeated everyone and they were on the floor trying to get back up. Hades was about to finish Natsu off when a thunder crashes through the airship. It was Laxus. Laxus and Hades fought. Laxus started off strong, but an attack soon drained his energy out. Before Hades could send another attack to finish Laxus, Laxus transferred his powers of lightning to Natsu. Natsu started to battle Hades. He was punching him and kicking him with his magic.
He yelled, "Roar of the Thunder-Flame Dragon! It made a huge explosion and caused Hades to knock out, but I felt like it wasn't over yet, so I covered my face like how Mystogan did and teleported over. When I got there, Natsu fell into the hole they made when fighting. I ran and caught his hand on time. Before he could look up to see my eyes and hair, I changed them. Then I pulled him up.
Hades got back up again and said "Demon's eyes." I could tell that it was going to be bad. Hades' appearance changed and he kept talking about reaching the one magic. His aura changed into being more dangerous too. Then he summoned demons from the rocks.
I got up and noticed that everyone was shaking in fear. I changed my voice and told them the exact same thing Gildarts told Natsu. I even added a few words of mine.
"You've got two legs and 2 arms. Get up and fight. Fight for your nakama. Fight with your nakama. Don't give up until the very end. Isn't that what Fairy Tail is?"
Everyone looked surprised and they all stood up now that they knew their weakness.
Natsu said, "I don't know who you are, but you've saved my butt many times. Help us defeat him!"
"Well said, Natsu. It's about time you ask for help."
"How do you know me? And I'm not asking for help! I'm commanding you to help!"
All of us charged towards Hades. Wendy, Gray, and Erza threw Natsu over and I pushed both of his feet towards Hades. When I pushed him forward, I transferred just enough energy for him to do one technique. Natsu hit him because Happy and them damaged the energy source of the ship. The energy source was Hades' heart. That was why he kept recovering so fast.
I noticed Natsu's muffler flying away, so I grabbed it just before it was too far to reach. Hades got back up and everyone's Fairy Tail stamp glowed. I didn't have the stamp, but my hand glowed anyways. I looked at the Tenrou Tree and noticed that it was being fixed, probably by Ultear, so I sent her some of my energy too. Erza, Gray, Wendy, and Natsu looked better now.
Natsu tried to hit Hades, but ended up getting hit and punched many times. Laxus got up and punched Hades. Then he said, "Do it! Fairy Tail!"
Wendy yelled, "Wing Slash of the Sky Dragon!"
Gray shouted, "Ice Make Sword… Icebringer!"
Erza yelled, "Requip! Heaven's Wheel… Pentagram Sword!"
Then, Natsu and I yelled in unison, "Crimson Lotus: Exploding Lightning Blade!"
Just as Hades was brought down, the sun came out.
Natsu yelled, "Yahhhhhhhhhhh! This is our guild, Fairy Tail!"
Erza, Wendy, and Gray went to circle Natsu and I walked away.
"Matte…" Natsu called behind me.
"Nani…"
"You know a lot about us don't you? Why not join our guild?"
I turned back around and saw a bunch of Grimoire Heart members chasing the exceeds.
Happy exclaimed, "Natsu! Help me!"
Erza said, "This is bad… we're all out of magic energy."
I walked up and said, "Sky Dragon's Roar!" The rest of the members were sent flying. I walked back and saw that all of the Fairy Tail members who came on the island were all staring at me.
They yelled together, "Another sky dragon slayer!?"
I walked to Natsu and handed him his muffler. "I forgot to give this back to you." Then I left without stopping, no matter how many calls to wait there was. I met up with Mavis again.
"You helped quite a lot Lucy… and you said you weren't going to go help unless they were on the floor and couldn't get back up."
"Can't be helped. Fairy Tail is still part of me."
Mavis and I watched as Fairy Tail celebrated. Natsu told everyone about me.
"She was so strong! I'm going to fight her someday! She beat Zancrow up and even dispelled Bluenote's gravitation magic! She even helped us beat Hades! When our guild marks were glowing, her hand was glowing too!"
'Wait… hand… Lucy was the only one I know of that had her mark on the hand… was that Lucy? No way… Lucy doesn't know dragon slaying magic…'
Gajeel laughed, "Ha! You couldn't even beat Zancrow and Hades by yourself! You needed help from a girl… haha!"
"Sh… shut up! Erza needed help too!"
Erza glared over at Natsu, "Nani? What'd you say?"
"Uh… uh… nothing…"
I saw Gildarts hug Cana, so I'm guessing she told him. I was enjoying Fairy Tail's fights and talk until I felt a very ominous presence. I climbed to the top of the tree and saw Acnologia.
'Acnologia!? What's he doing here? He was banned and locked away in a mountain… how can he be here!?'
I climbed back down and noticed that everyone else felt the presence too. I was about to go and stop Acnologia, but Mavis stopped me and told me to stay. She said that I wasn't ready to take him on, so we watched from afar as Fairy Tail tried to fight him off, but failed. They made a circle and held each other's hands. They joined hands. Acnologia was about to let out his breath too.
"This is where we support them. Join hands with me Lucy. Help me make Fairy Sphere!"
I nodded and took her hands. I closed my eyes and wished for them to survive this. I even heard Natsu's thought.
"I need to survive this! I still need to find Lucy before I die!"
I shed a tear and then everything went white.
Neko: How's that? I made this chapter super long! This is probably going to be the longest chapter I'll ever write… Anyways… please review because I took forever writing this…
