Akira pov.
I look at that brat. Lucy Heartfilia, she has grown so much and becomes beautiful. Yet the look in her eyes is still the same as the time I slashes her body. She looks at me with pity and I hate that. I purposely torture her to see the hatred in her eyes but why she still looks at me with those eyes? I have worked hard to make people change their looks on me. I want everyone to afraid of me. But she… she hold back her fear! It makes me disgust with her courage.
I give up. I will let this matter rest. After all, she will die after I release the spell. Those pity looks in her eyes won't get to me at all. I stand up, brushing off the dry leaves and grass on my pants. I take a glance over that brat. She has fallen asleep?! What happen with all the big talk she said earlier? The big talk during the time she comes with me through my portal? She really makes me wanted to torture her more. How can she sleep amidst of all this? She should be crying in fear to be sacrificed!
Normal pov.
Akira's face turns red in madness. He stomped his feet towards Lucy loud enough to make Lucy wake up. Lucy startled with the sound and wakes up. Her head shot up in shock. What shocks her most is Akira who looks really mad, coming towards her. He makes his magic to sword and pointing it right at Lucy's throat making Lucy close her eyes in fear. She waits for the sword to slit her throat but nothing. She opens one of her eyes, peaking at Akira.
"So, you do afraid huh?" Akira stating the obvious.
"O-of course I am!" Lucy screamed, letting out her frustration.
"Who said you can sleep? You should be shrinking in fear right now!"
"W-well, it's not like I intended to sleep. Don't blame me, my magic power drain because of the fight, not to mention your torture earlier. My body chooses to sleep. Not me." Lucy defended.
"Pftt.. You're funny. Well, fine then. Your time has come anyway." Akira said and walk towards Zeref's grave. He put his hand on the air while chanting some spell. The spell makes the grave glowing with runes appearing around the grave. Akira chanted another spell that forms a magic circle between him and the grave.
"Come here Lucy Heartfilia, you should be in the protagonist of this event." With that, Akira's shadow that pinned Lucy is released. However, she did not completely release from the shadow. The shadow makes her walk forward, standing on the magical runes situated on the center between the grave and Akira.
Lucy did not protest and let the shadow bring her there. She smiles inwardly.
'This is what I waited for.' Lucy cheers inwardly.
Before Lucy and Akira start anything, they could sense different magic power coming towards them. True enough, Natsu and the others has reaches their place. Natsu charged forward, wrapping Lucy on his arm out of the magic circle.
Lucy is shocked. "N-natsu?!"
"Yeah Lucy, I'm here to save you." Natsu said with his toothy grin.
Tears flowing from Lucy's eyes. "Go away Natsu."
Lucy force herself to stands up, pushing Natsu away from her. Her shock did not top there when she see the others. "Happy?! Gray?! Laxus?! Gajeel?! Erza?! What are you doing here?!"
"We won't leave you alone with this mad man Lucy" Gray answer calmly.
"Didn't I have cut the ties between us?!" Lucy shouted.
"I don't remember anything regarding that." Gajeel answered.
"Lushie… I miss you already…" Happy whined, flying towards her.
"I'm sorry Lucy, we just can't leave you fight alone." Erza added.
"Did you forget? I hurt our family more than you did. What makes you think your sudden resolve would make us leave you alone? Laxus raise his eyebrow.
"Lucy, we're a team right? Whatever happen we will always be together!" Natsu hold Lucy's hand tightly.
"Hei..hei.. Have you guys forgotten about me? Well I hate to disturb your lovely conversation but I can't delay this anymore. Now that your friend has come, our promise has been broken. Don't blame me if one of them dies okay?" Akira smile innocently.
"Release!" With that one sentence, Akira's hair turns Red while his right eye colour turns red while the other blue. His magic power overflowing makes all the tress, grassed withered. The water of the waterfall turns black.
I will make you regret coming here! "Pain!" a shadow absorbed to each and one of them, except Lucy. All of them scream in pain as the shadow attacking their brain with their unwanted memory
Lucy pov.
I know I should do this sooner. Now that he has release his true form, he can do that 'mark' magic. What should I do? I don't know if this would work but I have to do this now!
Normal pov.
Lucy holds her injured stomach, walking toward the magic circle. "I know the first promise is broken, but not the second. Let's do this shall we?" Lucy said it to Akira, leaving her friend shocked.
"What are you doing Lucy?" Natsu screamed.
"Lucy!" Gray and Erza shouted.
"Lushiee!" Happy wailed.
"L-Lucy?!" Laxus and Gajeel said in pain and confusion.
"You should have leave me alone the time I decided to walk together with Akira. Don't blame me guys. This is my choice."
"As you wish." Akira chanted another spell that makes a magic circle on top of Lucy. Lucy smile, contented that the gate has fully opened. Before Akira could say the finishing spell that make Lucy's body suck the magic, Lucy takes out 2 of her keys and summon the spirit.
"Open, the gate of guardian, Magma and Aurora!" A man and woman in a knight suit appeared before them. Aurora, one of the gate guardian, a woman who have a long blue hair right until her back while sword blue sword on her back. She has icy blue eyes. The second is Magma, a man with red hair and the same length with Aurora. He has a red and black sword on his back. His flaming red eyes makes he looks charismatic. When the two of them appeared, they formed a bright light that cancel all the black magic instantly. The magic circle formed before this also disappeared.
"W-What is that?! How can my magic circle disappear just like that?" Akira dumbfounded.
"Let's do this." Lucy commanded.
The two of them nodded and walk towards the runes on the grave. Aurora and Magma stand on the right and left of the tomb while Lucy still did not move from her spot.
Flashback.
"T-these keys…." Loke shuttered.
"What is this Loke?"
"It's the gate of the guardian, the guardian of Zeref." Loke explained.
"What?!" Lucy looks surprised.
"But I don't feel any evil power within them. And if they are the guardian of Zeref…"
"You can only get the answer by summoning them Lucy." Loke suggested.
"I don't know if I can, but… Never hurt trying isn't it?"
Lucy focuses on the keys, holding it on her hand, ready to summon it.
"Open, the gate of guardian, Aurora and Magma!"
The two of them appeared before Lucy and Loke, kneeling in front of them.
"You call master?" Magma said. His voice is deep and low enough to make any girl fall on him. Don't mention his strong build body.
Lucy at that time is too shock to respond. She could not believe that she have enough power to summon the rare and unique spirit or guardian? She just looks at them in awe.
"Master Lucy?" its Aurora's turn to talk. Her voice is too beautiful to be explained. She lift her head, looking at Lucy's brown eyes. That is when Lucy snapped out of her thought.
"I-I'm sorry. Let me introduce myself. I'm Lucy Heartfilia, mage of Fairy Tail guild and the holder of 10 zodiac keys. Meet Loke, or Leo the lion. The leader of the 12 zodiac keys. Loke bow to them in respect.
"Nice to meet you. I'm Magma and this is Aurora. We're the gate of guardian or I should say, we're the former guardian of Zeref."
Lucy eyes widen. She shuttered. "G-guardian of Zeref? Does that mean, you're in Zeref's side? But I don't feel any of dark power within you." Loke hold Lucy's hand and give his back to Lucy protectively, worried that they might hurt Lucy.
"Calm down, don't you hear me master? We're the former guardian. After Zeref's death or disappearance, we're guarding his tomb. But one day, a man come to us, wanted to seek our power together with a celestial spirit mage. That man offers the celestial spirit mage as an offering and promises us that he will find Zeref for us. Somehow, we agreed. However, the man's plan backfire him. The celestial spirit mage offer herself to us as an exchange, we can be freed from the title guardian of Zeref and she will be the seal to protect Zeref's power away." Magma explained.
"But that doesn't explain why you don't have Zeref power. Zeref created you guys doesn't he?" Lucy asks in confusion.
"Yes, Zeref is our creator. But before he changed to an evil person. We are created to nullify any dark magic and seal it forever. After Zeref becomes stronger, his power is uncontrollable and he change. We were sealed away to guard his so called tomb. We have no choice but follow his command. Some of his power still remained there. It might sound selfish but the celestial spirit saw through us. She knows we wanted to be free, finding new master who powerful enough to take us. After all, we created to guard a master, not the tomb. With her as a seal, we accept her suggestion." Aurora explains in detail.
"After that, we go around the world, finding a new celestial spirit mage as a master but to veil. Until we met you master Lucy. We will put our life to protect you." Magma finished.
"Please don't call me master, just call me Lucy. Don't put your life to protect me. Once I accept your keys and manage to summon you, you're officially becomes my friend." Lucy said and holds out her hand, to shake it with them. "Welcome to our big family." Lucy smile widely.
Aurora and Magma look at each other and accept her hand. "We're glad we met you Lucy." Aurora replies her smile. Her eyes were teary with warm feeling Lucy gave to them. After all these years, they're empty, living in empty world and now they found they world and they would risk their life to save Lucy their new family.
"But guys, I have a bad news. The seal have been broken. After the eclipse gate opened, 12 zodiac keys have united. That makes the seal broken. Now new people are after Zeref's power in the tomb. And.. Looks like their target is Lucy." Loke stated in worry in his voice.
"We know it." Magma stated short. "We are by your side when Akira attacks you but once you accept us, we can't appear because we didn't make any contract yet." Aurora continues.
"Oh.. Never mind that. I'm fine." Lucy assured.
"We have discussed, we will becomes the end seal that no one will be able to break it." Aurora and Magma said simultaneously.
End of flashback.
'Aurora, Magma!' Lucy called them in their mind.
'Yes Lucy' They answered.
'I will open the seal and let Zeref's sealed power out of the tomb.'
'WHAT?!'
