Authors Note: Oh my god I'm so sorry I haven't updated life hasn't been the best the past couple weeks and I'm so sorry but here you go I'll try and get as many chapters up as I can before I go back to work.
"Sagittarius, Scorpio, and Aquarius! You guys stay back and attack at long range! Aries you defend the distance fighters. Virgo! You attack from underground and set up some traps if you can. Gemini stay back behind the defenses for now. Everyone else, on my signal don't hold back and attack with everything you've got!" Lucy shouted out orders to her spirits, all jumping into position and then she turned to Laxus and Levy, smirking when she saw Laxus. "Are you alright Laxus? you almost look intimidated." She focused her attention to Levy, "Are you ready?"
Levy getting over her initial shock grinned at Lucy "Yep! Let's do this Lu!"
Lucy smiled back and did a quick glace toward Laxus -who was still watching her intently- and then turned back to her spirits. "Ok guys we have five minutes before my magic starts getting too low, Let's Go!"
By this point everyone else had realized what was going on but no one was quite sure what to do about it until Wendy realized everyone was distracted including Cana who was only a few steps away from her, "Sky Dragon Roar!" Cana flew to the other side of the beach unable to escape Wendy's attack.
Cana however, wasn't done yet. She got up and was about to attack Wendy until she felt someone behind her and had to dodge just before Capricorn would've knocked her out. "Shit!" She shouted throwing exploding cards at Capricorn before running to Gajeel and Mira who had just broken off from their opponents and started regrouping. "When did Lucy get this strong?" She asked aloud but to herself.
Gajeel answered anyway, "Her sent changed I don't know what it is or where its coming from but something tells me little red back at the camp has something to do with it."
"You would be correct." Loke's voice came from right behind him, along with a tough kick to the back. "And you can hear more about it when we win." He said to Gajeel's fallen body just before it was cast outside the barrier along with the rest of his team.
"Damnit! I never got the chance to show off!" Cana Yelled.
"True," Mira started trying to encourage her "But you did at least last longer than Natsu, and you beat your father." Mira finished smiling.
"Oh yeah I did." She looked over at Gildarts, "Take that Old Man!"
While everyone was talking and getting riled up behind the barrier on the beach things were getting difficult for both sides. Erza's team had focused all of their attention on Lucy and her spirits, Levy kept throwing out solid script attacks whenever there was an opening but Wendy had enhanced her teams speed making hard to land a direct hit especially on gray who was a long range fighter, and getting in close range of Erza was suicide especially with Wendy at her back. Anytime Gray or Erza would get close to attacking Lucy Laxus would blast their attack into nothing. Everything seemed to be going well for Team Laxus until all of Lucy's sprits vanished. They had run out of time Lucy's powers were getting too low and any lower she would've passed out.
"Damn it! Blondie are you alright?" Laxus asked concern filling his voice.
"Yes I'm fine I just need to catch my breath I can still fight with my whip." Lucy said while she watched Laxus and Levy go on defense to keep back the other team's attacks.
"Nope. You stay down me and Laxus have it covered." Levy looked back winked.
"Yeah, I'll go in, Levy you stay on defense." Laxus said already walking out to the other team who took this time to try and strategize. But they were interrupted when a blast of lightning blew them all apart.
Wendy noticed that Levy was the only one protecting Lucy who was kneeling still trying to catch her breath "Sky Dragon: Roar!"
"Levy was blasted back toward the water and was getting up when the unthinkable happened.
Erza and Gray both knowing Lucy was there virtually defenseless, both caught up in the moment, and both unaware of the other's intensions attacked Lucy at once. Everything was going so fast but it seemed almost slow motion. Swords and ice heading right toward her, she couldn't dodge, she couldn't even grab her whip. She was like a deer in headlights.
"No!" Laxus Screamed.
Before the attack could impact though there was a flash of red and then a 'sound' you couldn't hear it but you could feel it. The ice and swords could too apparently because both attacks shattered instantly. Three things became apparent in that moment: one Red meant it when she said she'd protect Lucy, two she is much stronger than she appeared, three she was very, very, pissed.
The look in her eyes spoke only one word: vengeance. And that look was focused on Erza and Gray who had both stood and watched shaking with fear for Lucy's life. Red did something then that confused a lot of people she started clapping her hands in a small rhythm.
Erza was the first to respond "Wha-?!" She was cut off when her armor suddenly broke into peices and her and Gray were blasted into the barrier. Gray down for the count.
Before things could get any more out of hand Master walked out then and called everything to a halt. "It seems we have our winners." He addressed the guild, "You're new S-Class mages are Levy Mcgarden and Lucy Heartfilia!"
The barrier lowered and the guild walked up to the two girls everyone congratulating them but throwing wary glances to the red haired girl in the back. Who was this girl to be able to defeat Erza of all people so easily? Why was she here? And who is she to Lucy?
After everyone had finished they slowly started to gather around the new comer not knowing anything that had happened the previous night.
Lucy walked up to her and held her hands, smiling, "It's alright they just don't know you so they're confused especially since this island is sacred to the guild."
"Trust me I'm far from scared of them I'm more or less just curious about them. Also I have a question, can I have some actual clothes? The ones I wore yesterday got all torn up when I ran down here."
"Eh?"
And that's when everyone noticed what she meant, her clothes were in dingy white tatters barely covering the poor thing and so the girls walked her back to the camp first. To give her some privacy or risk suffering the combined wrath of Erza and Mira the guys waited a few minutes before following after.
Once they arrived Cancer was out and styling her hair. She wore a long white skirt and a green frilled shirt that split up the front just below her bust which was surprisingly prominent on her slender frame. Cancer had finished her hair and had most of tied back into a long cord except for her bangs which framed her face. Her eyes which everyone could notice now were a bright green.
Gajeel was the first to speak, "So Lucy summons you from a key she found in some cave, you claim you'll protect her then pass out on the spot, then out of nowhere you show up and not only save her but also take out Gray and Erza 'Titania' Scarlet? Am I missing something here? Other than your name which you still haven't given anyone?" Gajeel crossed his arms and glared at her.
She looked him back in the eyes and gave a small sad smile. "No that's about right; perhaps I should explain better."
Flashback 415 years ago
In the middle of a forest on a far of Island a woman with long hair as white starlight watched over a little girl with red hair who washed up on the shore a few hours prior. Golden eyes searched the child for injuries while soft delicate wings glistened on her back. Others started gathering around to get a closer look and the girl.
"Queen Titania what is she?"
"She's big like you and doesn't have a tail but she doesn't have wings either."
Others started piping up too voicing their own opinions it started getting too loud and Titania feared the child would wake up, "Calm down please." She waited a moment before continuing. "She looks like that because she isn't a fairy, she is something known as a human those boats we see that pass our island she probably came from one of them."
"So what do we do with it?"
"Can we eat it?"
She let out a deep sigh "No we can't eat her. Instead I think I'll raise her, teach her to use our magic. I feel potential in her and my dreams have been telling me of a change to come, I believe this is it."
The other fairies were skeptical to say the least but they listened to their queen.
And so as the years passed the girl grew and grew and so did her powers Titania gave the girl the name Mei and taught her all she could. Mei excelled in sound magic from singing controlling sound waves, it was impressive to say the least. Other magic was hard for her. However, there was one other magic she was finally able to master: Takeover Magic. She could finally take the form of the rest over her family but there was a catch.
Titania told her, "When in the form of a fairy you have access to more powers because you or more in tuned with the earth in which magic comes from. However, since you are not a true fairy your emotions play a more crucial role in this. That form you just released you were thinking of being like the rest of us and being happy and so the form and magic were light, but should you try to take this form with anger and hatred in your heart then the form and magic will be dark. It wouldn't be that worrisome under normal circumstances but since fairies were born of magic and since you have the added emotions of a human in that form it will be extremely easy for you to be consumed by the darkness. Don't let it happen."
After that day Mei did what she could to ban all bad thoughts and emotions from her mind and worked hard to build up the light.
Then one night the unthinkable happened. Acnologia appeared sensing an immense amount of magic power coming from their island before he can do anything though Titania flies up and confronts him and an immense battle begins.
Mei running to help her mother was stopped when she was trapped in a barrier prison. All she could do was watch as Titania fought with everything she had. But it soon became clear that it wasn't enough.
Titania looked toward her adopted daughter as she raised one hand to the moon and Smiled down to her "I love you." She said just as the entire island was engulfed in a moon beam.
"NO!" It was too late for the next thing she knew she was being woken up by the morning sun, but she wasn't alone. Another woman was there for a moment she thought it was her mother, then she realized her hair glowed gold not white. "Who are you?" she asked scared and tried backing up before she realized she was against a tree.
"I am Anna Heartfilia, and I'm here because Titania called me here." Anna said sitting on a rock watching her.
Mei stopped panicking, "You knew my mother?"
"Yes and I also know that she and the other fairies sacrificed their lives trying to defeat Acnologia."
Mei started shaking her head "No only my mother the others-"
"Can't live without their queen. Born of magic Titania came to be looking like a normal girl with added wings. Lonely she grew and one day turned flowers into beings." Anna carefully recited to Mei. "You know don't you? Fairy tails are just the stems of the flowers they were born from which is why your mother didn't have one and now that she's gone the fairies returned to their original forms."
Mei started shaking she couldn't believe it her life everything she knew was over "no…" she started crying that one word over and over again until Anna was able to calm her down.
"Look at me." She said "I can't save them but I can help you, more specifically a friend of mine can."
"Who?"
Anna pulled out a golden key, "Leo!" a man in a suit with long wild orange hair appeared. "Did you talk to the spirit king?"
"Yes" Leo responded holding up a glass key she will be safe until the time comes. "Ok dear this is how this is going to work you'll be sealed into here until someone else sets you free that person will be chosen specifically by the spirit king and you must protect them and don't worry you won't be alone you will have plenty of other friends in the spirit world; quite a few of them in a much similar situation." He stopped and got down to her level and looked into her eyes, "This is all only if you're ok with it though we can't force you to do anything."
Mei looked between both of them, it was too much but what other choice did she have? Stay here alone for the rest of her life? So she nodded her head and her and Leo left together.
"And then Lucy found me." Mei finished her story with a smile and everyone else wore mixed looks of shock and pity.
Lucy spoke next "Those flowers in that cave I found your key in were they…?"
"It's been a long time since I've been here but yes this is that same island and those flowers were likely the fairies in their original form;" Mei looked up with a thoughtful expression on her face, "perhaps one day I'll be able to bring them back."
Authors Note: Again I'm so sorry for the long wait but a lot has happened but I made this chapter really long to try and make up for it. As for what the character looks like. I'll try and post a picture of her on to my profile. Also I'm debating on who to put the OC with so I'll post a poll of my top three options and let you guys pick. Thanks for the reviews!
