Lucy's POV …
Lucy was crying, "No! This isn't right, you can't just…" Her voice faded into the breeze, unable to continue.
Loke didn't hesitate and pulled her into a tight hug, he let his chin rest on the top of her head.
He too was crying, "I know…but we don't have a choice." His voice broke on the last word.
He let go of Lucy and stepped back.
Lucy looked at her spirits lined up in front of her, "How much longer…" she couldn't finish the question.
Aquarius spoke softly, "Only a few minutes…" the mermaid stepped forward and hug the blonde as she too sat on the ground, "You brat…"
No one thought Aquarius would be this kind, but she knew, Lucy knew that they all cared.
Lucy felt a tear fall from Aquarius and land on her cheek.
They would stay if they could.
Scorpio put his hand on Lucy's head.
Lucy heard the guild doors open and feet walk but then stop, she looked to see her guild stand and watching the scene, giving her space but nearby if she needed them… but she didn't care about that right now.
The spirits stepped back as they felt themselves being pulled back into the Celestial world. They didn't want to leave, they wanted to stay but they knew they didn't have a choice.
Loke spoke, "Lucy… please don't be sad…"
Lucy stared as her keys turned into little orbs of lights and sunk back into the chest of her spirits…
Her keys were gone.
But not her magic.
"No."
Her spirits heard Lucy softly speak but her voice got louder as she spoke.
"NO!" Lucy glowed brightly, just like the time she tried to force Loke to go back to the celestial world. "This isn't right! How could he force you to do this!"
Her guild mates were shocked as they felt the strength of her magic, it's pressure filling the air, filled with the love for her spirits.
She was stronger than anyone thought.
"You're my friends… I can't let you be forced to do this! It's just like being abused if you don't want to do something! It isn't right! I know others are hurting and I know I'm being selfish but I can't just accept it" she glowed brighter.
Loke and her spirits were concerned by the force of the magic.
Lucy was crying and stood up, "I'll make it so you don't have to!"
"Open Gates to the spirit world!" Lucy was starting to form with her magic, fusing with it.
Loke screamed, "Lucy! You have to stop! You'll die! We already accepted it, we can't let others suffer anymore, the King was right to do this even if we didn't want this."
Her guild mates tried to get to her but her magic kept them away, Mirajane and Wendy were crying along with Levy.
Natsu and Gray tried to reach her but couldn't.
"Lucy!" Erza yelled.
Lucy turned her head to look at her guildmates, "I won't let them be forced to do this… I can't!"
Her spirits were yelling at her to stop, they wanted her safe…
They looked at each other and knew what to do, they wanted to keep the bond for as long as they could but they needed her safe more than anything…
Each spirit held their hand over their hearts and spoke in unison, "Goodbye…"
"Lucy."
"Hime."
"Princess…"
They all disappeared and Lucy yelled, her magic dispersing, knocking back a few guild mates as she fell to the ground. The sky was golden from her magic but then faded back to its normal blue. The irony something so beautiful could be so sad.
They used their magic and severed any bond left to Lucy and left so she couldn't destroy herself for them…
Lucy was on the ground unconscious as a single tear fell to the ground…
Her guild mates picked her up and carried her back into the guild, all of them crying for her…
The door shut behind them as they went back to the guild…
A voice sounded as if it came from the sky, it was soft and warm…
"Goodbye…"
…
Inside the guild's infirmary laid a blonde haired mage, depleted of magic.
A small blue haired dragon slayer checked up on her physical state, but more so worried for her heart that may not of had any physical damage but was hurt nonetheless. Certain guildmates stood outside the door, a select few listened from afar, having the ability to do so.
Woohoo! Ok everyone I know I cried, what about you?
Please review and let me know how it was, I love hearing from you guys!
