chapter 9:new gift shop section!lucy's training!
day:2 days after latest sorcerer's weekly issue was published
another regular and chaotic day in the fairy tail guild.with the mages beating each other up.master makarov worried about them destroying the guild.kirby having to threaten the destructive mages to use mike kirby.those who fought stopped because they didn't want to hear kirby sing.
we see lucy sitting at the bar thinking about something.she was having thoughts of herself not fighting much.
"lucy,is something wrong?"asked mira,who was tending the bar as always.
"well the fact that I don't fight myself alongside my celestial spirits."lucy said,bored.
"sounds like you need close combat training."the white haired barmaid suggested.
"that's the best idea I've heard.thanks mira."lucy said thankfully as she hugged mira over the countertop.
"But who's going to train me though?"lucy asked herself as she then spaced out.
"you asked who would train you."meta knight said out of nowhere.this sudden appearance startled mira and lucy,who snapped back to reality.
"meta knight you suprised me."lucy said as she then took a few breaths."and yes I'm in need for close combat training or training in general."
"I think kirby and I may be of good help.after all I have trained kirby for a bit."meta knight said as he then was hugged by lucy.
"thank you thank you so much.so when are we gonna start."lucy said.
"we are starting monday,but first I'm going to go see the gift shop."meta knight said.
"why the gift shop?"lucy asked.
"you know the today's friday right.this is 2 days after the latest issue of sorcerer's weekly was published,so I wanted to see if there is merchandise based on me,kirby,king dedede,and waddle dee."meta knight explained.
"now that I think about it,you guys were after all somewhat popular starting from the fantasia parade and the many jobs you and team popstar go on."lucy said her thoughts on the subject.
"I'll go gather up the rest of the team and go see.see you around,and make sure you have training clothes or use your current ones for comfortability."meta knight said as he left off to grab the rest of team popstar.
"see ya around."lucy responded back as she walked off to the gift shop.
"lucy where are you *chomp*going?"natsy asked as he was gobbling up a whole chicken.happy was beside him eating raw fish.
"oh,just going to the gift shop to check out if there is team popstar mechandise."lucy responded as she walked off.
"let me come along too."natsu called out as he went with lucy,leaving leftovers.
fairy tail merchandise shop
max alors,the sand wizard,was tending the fairy tail merchandise as he saw lucy and natsu come up to him.
"hey natsu,lucy.so what do you need?"max greeted,also asking natsu and lucy.
"not much,we just wanted to see if there was merchandise related to team popstar."natsu said.happy only said 'aye sir'.
"Well your in luck,because team popstar collectable figurines,that include lots of kirby's copy abilities as shown to us by kirby and sketched and modeled by reedus.along with hats with your favorite team popstar members and kirby copy abilities,plush toys,posters,and much more."max said,as he showed natsu and lucy the boxes behind him.
'ooooohhhh's were heard from lucy,happy,and natsu as the mages around the gift shop gathered up.
"why don't we help you set up and annouce this new section."waddle dee 'said' telepathically,as he was seen alongside the rest of team popstar.
"can't you believe you guys already have products based on you.It's been a week and you already may be popular."elfman said,stoked.
"yes elfman,this is unbelieveable."king dedede responded as he then turned to max."just give us the products and we'll set up a stand that will then be moved here."
max then gave team popstar the crates full of merchandise and they went off to set up a stand.
time skip:about 30 minutes later
"whew,we're done."king dedede said proudly,wiping the sweat from his head.
"now then,kirby go into mike kirby and give me the microphone."meta knight requested.
kirby went into mike kirby and gave meta knight the microphone he held.
meta knight said through the mike,"May I have everyone's attention."
residents of magnolia them crowded up to hear what meta knight has to say.
"May,us the fairy tail guild,present to you, the latest section of the fairy tail merchandise shop,the dreamland merchandise shop." meta knight announced as kirby used his sword copy ability to cut the rope to show the shop being opened.
sword kirby wears a Green, conic cap with a yellow cotton ball at the point.
the people of magnolia then took a look at the products in amazement.they cheered and went ahead to buy.many bought the team popstar collectibles.
the boxes were small black.the side of the box showed the copy abilities and characters you can obtain.the figures themselves were the size of amiibos
"look what I got,fire kirby.doesn't he look cool."one person said as it showed fire kirby breathing out a stream of fire with a serious look.
"But look what I got,bomb kirby.looks funny but awesome."another said as he held up a bomb kirby collectable.this collectable had bomb kirby look like he was about to roll his bomb like a bowling ball,also wore a serious look.
"Look everyone!"a child called out.the people close by looked at the child."I got a meta knight one."
meta knight's figurine was positioned like the amiibo
the crowd clapped.news was now spreading around town about the newest merchandise shop section.
the fairy tail mages then tried out the collectables.
gray opened up his box and found ice kirby figurine,skating.ice kirby wore A crown of ice crystals surrounded by a violet circlet and a star made of ice with a yellow rim in its center.
"what a coincidence but great."gray said to himself as he wondered what ice kirby can create.
erza opened her box and found a waddle dee figurine.the waddle dee figurine was seen having his spear on his back.he was positioned as if he were about to do his 191 megaton punch to the ground.
erza was blushing hard and had steam coming out of her ears as she remembered her and waddle dee's 'kiss'.
"why am I thinking about.he said it was the way to share the invincibility candy."she mentally slapped herself.
"erza is something wrong.you seem to be flustered over something."levy asked.
"It's nothing,nothing to see here.just here with my waddle dee figurine,hehe."erza sheepishly said.
"are you sure?"levy asked,raising an eyebrow.erza nodded."all right and look what I got."
levy held up her yo-yo kirby figurine.yo-yo kirby wore a Backwards purple baseball cap.yo-yo kirby was throwing out his yo-yo as if he was attacking something.
"since when was a children's toy a weapon?"asked lucy as she looked at levy's figurine.
"who knows,maybe kirby can even make the most harmless of things into weapons like that one time kirby used leaf kirby against erza."levy said.
"makes sense."lucy admitted.
"but this one is manly though!"elfman said as he showed off throw kirby.throw kirby wore a blue headband.
the figurine showed a serious throw kirby holding a star,ready to throw it at the enemy.
"is it really manly?"lucy sweatdropped.
"hell yeah it is!"elfman yelled out.
somewhere else juvia showed gray her figurine.
"look gray,I got water kirby.isn't it a coincidence that we both got our respective elements."juvia said as she showed gray water kirby.
water kirby wore a yellow tiara holding a vortex of water.
"yeah yeah."gray said blankly.
natsu was showing lucy his figurine.
"look I got ninja kirby.awsome."natsu said excited.he put his scarf over his mouth and did some hand gestures.
ninja kirby wore a A purple cloth skullcap with a forehead protector imprinted with a star outline.he holds a katana on his back.ninja kirby figurine look like as if he was about to draw his katana out.
"well I got whip kirby."lucy said as she showed off whip kirby.
whip kirby wore a cowboy hat with a whip on his right hand.whip kirby was cracking his whip forward.
"kirby looks good as a cowboy."alzack said.
"It's a coincidence that I also use a whip."lucy admitted.
natsu saw gajeel banging his head against the counter.
"what's wrong?"natsu asked
"I got the most pathetic one."gajeel said.
"and that is?"natsu said,raising an eyebrow.
"sleep kirby."gajeel deadpanned.showing of a kirby figurine wearing bright green sleeping cap with yellow dots and white trimming.sleep kirby was on the ground sleeping,with a bubble coming out of his nose.
"BWWWAAAAHHHAHAHAHAHHAAHH!"natsu laugh outloud.gray joins in as he saw gajeel's figurine.
"YOU CAN STOP NOW,DUMBASSES!"gajeel out,enraged.
"too bad we don-I JUST HAD AN IDEA!"natsu yelled out as he had an idea.
"is this another one of your stupid ideas,dragon breath."gray yelled out,insulting natsu.
"I promise this one is a good one,peppermint."natsu retorted."why don't we have a figurine set of kirby as us.
"what do you mean kirby as us?"mira asked.
"do you remember the time kirby became erza kirby"natsu reminded.the other mages remembered.
"why not have kirby get our looks.it'll sound good."natsu said triumphantly.
the fairy tail mages liked the idea.
"reedus,start sketching kirby as us and create the models."natsu commanded.
"oui"reedus said as he started to draw kirby as fairy tail mages.he ran off inside to get his sketchbook,clay and paint.
the other mages gone back inside the guild hall.
"so master,what did you get."mira asked the guild master with a smile.
"I'll tell you I'm the luckiest man alive."makarov said grinning.
"why do you consider yourself 'the luckiest man alive'?"mira asked again.
"because this."makarov said as he then showed mira his figurine.
"EEEEEEHHHHHHHH!"she yelled out suprised of what the master got.
"mira,what is i-aaaaahhh!"erza tried to ask as she saw what the master.
"is that the epic rarity figurine:CRASH KIRBY!"erza called out,suprised.
"no fair,these collectables are rigged."natsu whined when he saw what makarov had.
"though mira,what did you get."the guild master of fairy tail asked the white haired barmaid.
"I got cook kirby."mira said as she happily showed off her cook kirby figurine.
cook kirby wore a chef's hat.the figure itself had cook kirby banging a frying pan and a spatula together over a gold colored pot full of stew.
"that's pretty nice and looking at it makes me want to try out kirby's cooking."natsu said as his mouth watered.
"KIRBY!MAKE ME SOME OF THAT STEW!"natsu requested as he ran to go get kirby.
"you know I could go try some of kirby's cooking."mira said.
"I sure would like to."makarov said as he went to where natsu went
time skip:monday
at the middle of a forest
kirby,meta knight,and lucy were walking to find an open area to do some training.they found and open plain with a river close-by.
"this looks like a good spot.now what shall ww do for my training?"lucy said then asked.
"first of all,close combat needs speed,agility,strength,stamina,and durability.you may also be needing to know a few tricks from whip kirby.for strength,you will be training yourself for this.I will like to ask which would you like to start with first?"meta knight explained.he then asked.
"mmmm,if stamina means how much magic power I have then I'll need to increase it so I can be able to use two spirits at one time.though I will be needing reflexes in case I can't use my magic or if i'm low on magic.durability will help me take more hits from any of my opponents.my strength combined with speed will sure help.my skill in using a whip sure can use some work and considering kirby has a whip copy ability,he can sure help alot."lucy thought deeply about what she should train.
"why don't we start with stamina and agility today,on tuesday we train my reflexes,on wednesday I will work with whip kirby in my whip usage skills.on thursday we work on my durability.friday I will be doing strength training myself..that should be our schedule for the weeks I will be training with you."lucy suggested.
"sounds good now,kirby.let's turn you into wheel kirby."meta knight said as he took out a snow globe-like object with a black rimmed star with a picture of a wheel in the middle.
kirby touches the snow globe and became wheel kirby.he wore a red baseball cap backwards.
"to train your speed and stamina,I will need for you yo go on top of kirby in wheel form and run until you are tired enough.but I warn you you'll be training hard this week.got it?"meta knight explained lucy's exercise.
"got it!"lucy said,bowing down.
she then goes up to wheel kirby.he then goes into wheel form and lucy goes on top the opposite way wheel kirby will turn.
(cue Eye of the tiger-Survivior)
wheel kirby then starts spinning.this was when lucy started to run.wheel kirby zipped around the open area while lucy ran and ran.she got tired and started to sweat but she kept pushing herself until her body said no more.
after 5 minutes,wheel kirby sped up,this was when lucy ran faster.she was starting to pant heavily but never gave in.
(Eye of the tiger-survivior ends)
"STOP KIRBY!"meta knight yells out as wheel kirby slows down to stop. a sweaty lucy then drops onto her knees.
"you did good,have a drink of water at the river."meta knight said as he then sat down on the grass and enjoyed the peace.
"that was good but I still got to do more.I know I'll summon a spirit of mine and have myself have some magic power drained from me and then use this stamina and speed training to increase my magic power."thought lucy as she drank and splashed herself some water.
time skip
"meta knight,I have thought of an idea for my stamina training."lucy said.
"what is your idea?"asked meta knight.
"I'll be using one of my spirits to drain my magic overtime.It'll help me push beyond my limits to help increase stamina."GATE OF THE MAIDEN,I OPEN THEE,VIRGO!"
from the ground came out virgo."Is it punishment time,princess?"virgo asked,with a stoic look.
"I will be needing you here to have myself be drained of my magic power overtime to help me push myself to increase my stamina,which means more magic power which I will need in combat with my spirits and close combat."lucy explained her plan to virgo.
"as ordered,princess."the maid said as she sat down next to met knight.
wheel kirby then rolled up into wheel form,lucy went on top of the wheel and off they went.lucy ran feeling her magic drain bit by bit.
"damn not working.may need a second spirit to help me further."lucy thought as she pulled out another key.
"GATE OF THE LION,I OPEN THEE,LOKElucy called out as in a flash of light leo stood by virgo.
"what is happening lucy?"asked loke.
"I'll explain,brother.lucy is doing some stamina and running speed training alongside kirby and meta knight,she needs us two to push herself in being able to increase magic power and have a faster running speed."virgo explained,still with her emotionless look.
"I see now.It seem that our lady is doing the best she can to do better in helping her friends."loke said with a slight amount of tears coming from his face."I would like to thank you meta knight,but make sure you don't hurt her or else."
"do not worry,she knows how intense this training will be and as a reminder,I'm more powerful than you."meta knight said.
lucy was them running around the grassland on top of wheel kirby.wheel kirby increase his speed making lucy go faster.
5 minutes later,the blonde mage was about to faint.the time was the afternoon.
"STOP!"meta knight called out as kirby slowed down and stopped,he turned back to regular wheel kirby.lucy dropped to her knees panting,with loke and virgo at her side.
"you did yourself good,princess.I can feel you magic power gradually increasing."virgo said with a slight smile.
"it's time to take a break and keep going.you two go back until you are needed again,thank you for your time."lucy said to loke and virgo.
"no problem,lucy.hopefully you become better,faster,and stronger than you were ever before."loke said aa in a bright flash of light,he disappeared.
"I have done my duty,princess.I'll be off now."virgo blankly said as she then disappeared in a bright flash.
"with determination like that,you can become stronger lucy.you have yet to realize you have great potential to wield,THE STAR ROD."thought meta knight.
tuesday
at the same open space
"lucy,today we will train your reflexes."meta knight said.
"what will be the exercise for today?"asked lucy.
"for this you can choose that I use my dimensional cape and hit you with the ruler I hold or that kirby goes into fighter kirby and have your reaction speed in close combat to be tested and trained."meta knight explained.
"with meta knight's dimensional cape,I can be able to react to my surroundings faster.with fighter kirby,I can have great reaction speed to my opponents who will battle me closely."thought lucy.
"let's split it up.2 hours with you meta knight,2 hour with fighter kirby."lucy suggested.
"sounds good,now let's get this started."meta knight said as he took out a 12 inch ruler.
"for this exercise,I will teleport away and appear anywhere,you will try to dodge my attack.once you get it down,it'll only become tricky."meta knight explained.
"let's do this."lucy said as she stood,waiting for meta knight to start the exercise.
meta knight teleported away.lucy looked aroumd for him.the black knight teleported behind lucy,smacked her leg and jumped back.lucy slightly cried out in pain.she them gave a signal to go again.
meta knight disappeared.lucy jumped forward but instead got hit by meta knight in front of her leg.lucy took a step back with her hurt leg.
"I need to get this down,I can't sense meta knight because he doesn't use magic.I'll be needing to use my perception skills."thought lucy,walking around to look for any possible places meta knight might attack at.
unexpectantly,meta knight was behind lucy's leg and hit it with the flat side of the ruler.lucy slightly winced in pain.she looked around again.
lucy starts to jump around to distort meta knight.
on one jump,meta knight popped up and thrusted his ruler on to lucy's back.she spun around to dodge the attack
"we still need to continue on."meta knight said as he continued.lucy nodded.
time skip
lucy dropped to her knees sweating and panting.
"you've done well."meta knight said,tired."you can rest now."
lucy went off to the river for a drink.
after 5 minute break
"now fighter kirby will do his part."
fighter kirby wore a red headband.
"hai."kirby said as he got into fightingug position.
"for this exercise,you will try to block fighter kirby's punches.this will help with attack speed and reaction time.got it."meta knight explained.
"yes."lucy said as she was in front of fighter kirby.
"GO!"meta knight called out as kirby did vulcan jabs.
lucy blocked a few punches but got hit alot.lucy tried her best on blocking the onslaught of punches.
the kicks then kicked in.lucy puts her arms up to block out a kick but gets punched by fighter kirby with his open fists.
"STOP!"meta knight yelled out.fighter stopped and stood by.
"I have seen how your punching speed is.we will start slow and as you get better,kirby with be punching faster and will add in kicks.
"yes sir."lucy said as she got what meta knight said.
fighter kirby and lucy got into position.
"START!"meta knight calls out.
both people started at normal punching speed.lucy catches and blocks fighter kirby's punches and kicks.
"speed up?"asked fighter kirby.continuing his onslaught.
"just a bit more.I'll tell you when I'm ready."responded lucy,focusing on exercise
About 3 minutes later.lucy told fighter kirby.
"SPEED UP!"lucy calls out.fighter kirby starts to punch faster to the point of his fists looking like blurs.
lucy too speed up to the same degree as kirby and starts to pant.the exercise then turned into a normal fist fight.
fighter kirby lunges forward and punches downward."SMASH PUNCH!"he calls out.
lucy sidestepped and sent out a punch that landed.fighter kirby recovers and goes in for a kick.the blond mage blocks it and grabs fighter kirby's arm and threw him overhead.kirby went in and shot out energy blasts.
lucy flipped backwards to dodge the shots and charged in for a barrage of punches.kirby joined in and did his endless vulcan jab.the punches and blocks were fast,almost as if watching a dragonball fight.
1 hour and 40 minutes of fast punches,kicks,and blocks later
"STOP NOW!"meta knight yelled out.
kirby and lucy were sweating and panting.
"you have done well lucy.let's get ourselves to the guild now."meta knight said as he walked backed to the guild.
kirby and lucy followed.
"hopefully my new tricks from whip kirby will help with my whip usage skill,tommorow."lucy thought.
wednesday
"lucy,It is time for new whip moves from whip kirby.I'm sorry if this is a short day for training."meta knight said.
"that's fine and anyways I got most of things I can do with a whip down."lucy said,proudly.
"sounds good,but what about whipping speed?"meta knight asked as he signaled whip kirby to do his 100-whip slap at fast speeds.
"that's pretty fast and wide."complimented lucy.
"now do WHIP TORNADO."requested meta knight to kirby.
kirby whips up a short-lived vortex with the whip around him, and he flies upward with it.
"that might be pretty useful for follow-up combo attack and for beating multiple enemies in the air."lucy said,suprised.
"You can also grab things with this move."meta knight added.
"so how does kirby do this move?"lucy asked.
"why not let kirby teach you."meta knight suggested.
"poyo."kirby said as he then did his demonstration of the whip tornado move.
"let's see now."lucy said to herself as she tried it out.
she jumped up and spun her whip,but didn't propel at all.
lucy sighed for her failure."is there a key to doing the whip tornado?"lucy asked.
"as shown by whip kirby,you must jump high in which you did.but to propel for a bit,you must spin your body and your whip upwards for a few seconds and then do the same but you spin with your whip like normal."meta knight explained.
"thank you."lucy said,greatful.
she then did what was explained to her and jumped up high while spinning her body and whip upwarda and then doing the same normally.
"alright."lucy said,proudly.
"now try out this same move but try to grab things."metaknight said as he threw in the sky some coins that floated.
lucy did whip tornado amd grabbed the coins.
"woohoo."lucy celebrated.
"you now have learned a new move.hopefully this will become useful in battle."
"thank you meta knight,and kirby.see ya tommorow."lucy said as she salked off to the guild hall.
thursday
"now lucy,it is time to work on your durability.from what I last saw,you took swings from dedede's hammer,which is able to break stone and metal."meta knight said.lucy was suprised about what king dedede was able to destroy with his hammer.
"but that is not enough.you will to be able to take more punishment."meta knight continued.
"for this exercise,you will stand at your spot and take hit's until you body becomes numb or you fall on the ground.got it."meta night explained.
"so you will be taking electric shocks,be burned,freeze,take hits.and be cut."meta knight finished.
"let's so it in the order you said."lucy requested meta knight.
"alright,kirby go into spark form."meta knight commanded.
"hai!"kirby said as he then puffs up his cheeks and swallowed.he then becomes spark kirby.
spark kirby wore a Sparking, electrical crown with a round blue orb in its middle.
spark kirby went close to lucy and charged an electric wave around himself.lucy was shocked and cried out in pain.
"ARE YOU GOING TO BE CALLED WEAK BY ANYONE ANYMORE!"meta knight yelled out
"NOOOOOO I WILL BE CALLED WEAK!"lucy yelled back,taking the electic shock.
spark kirby stopped charging after a while.
"continue on,kirby."lucy requested as kirby then sent out another wave of electricity around him.
the blond mage now was wincing in pain."you can stop now."lucy said.
spark kirby stopped.
"move onto fire kirby."meta knight called out. as he took out a snow globe with a red rimmed star with a picture of fire in the middle.kirby touches it and became fire kirby.
fire kirby launched out a continuous stream of fire from his mouth.
lucy stood there taking the heat.burn marks started to appear.sweat was dropped.lucy started wanting some water to drink or to dip herself in a pool
7 minutes of burning later,meta knight halted fire kirby.
lucy stood there,feeling very hot and tired.
"we will take a five minute break to cool down."meta knight said as he took out a snow globe with a sky blue rimmed star with a picture of a snowman in the middle.
"next,you will be enduring cold temperature with only your undergarmets."meta knight stated.
"why only with my undergarmets?"lucy asked,feeling slight suprised.
"remember gray's master,ur's,training.she made gray and his other partner,lyon, strip to help have ice make magea be resistant to cold temperatures."meta knight reminded.
"looks like I might start being like gray now after this."lucy said to herself,in her mind picturing herself stripping all the time.
5 minutes later
lucy stripped down to only her bra and panties and stood,ready to take in the cold temperatures.
kirby became ice kirby.he then breathed out an stram of icy breath.
"brrrr."lucy's teeth were chattering on how cold it was."sucks that I can't use horologium to be keeping me cozy.
lucy's skin was freezing and the tip of her nose was creating a small icicle.lucy hugged herself for some warmth.
over time for about 15 minutes,she was starting to get used to it.she was no longer holding herself and stood,though the effects from the last 12 minutes were still there.
"lets keep going for another 20 minutes.I'll do some strength training for a bit by using some ice blocks from kirby."lucy requested.ice kirby made 3
ice blocks and gave them to lucy.
lucy went down to do some push-ups,ice kirby put the ice blicks on top of lucy's back.he continue his doing his icy breath attack.
"1..2..3..4..."lucy counted to heself as she did her push-ups.
20 minutes later
"99...100...and 101."lucy said to herself finishing the push-ups she did.ice kirby stopped and panted.the blonde mage got up and felt stronger.
"ready to go onto taking regular hits?"meta knight asked.
"why not do both taking hits and cutsfor 15 minutes.after all,I could wrap this up."lucy suggested.
"fine with me.kirby go into fighter form."meta knight commanded.kirby went ahead and use his copy pallete to get out fighter kirby.
he became fighter kirby,and meta knight drew out galaxia.lucy was ready to take hits.
"let's go."meta knight said,as he and kirby rushed in for a barrage of attacks.
lucy only put up her arms.vulcan jabs,rising breaks,charge blasts,sword beams and occasional drill rush were landing.
with cuta and bruises coming everywhere on lucy's body,but she had toughened up from being elxtrocuted,burned,and being in freezing weather while doing push-ups.
15 minutes later"damn,I feel like I can take hits from erza when you destroy her cake."lucy commented,proudly.
"looks like we're done for the week.make sure you do some strength training and do some sparing with natsu."meta knight said.
"Sounds good.I'll be doing that friday and the weekend."lucy said.
"poyo kirby said as he walked back to the guild.
they walked back to the guild.
