I do not own Kingdom Hearts or Fairy Tail
Celestial Sprit World
Darkness became light as Xion's eyes fluttered open. She then gave a sigh of relief at her regained consciousness.
At first, anyways.
The Keyblade wielder sat up and turned her head around to observe her surroundings. She found that the rest of the Organization on the ground and was awakening just as she had. Some better than others.
"Well, that sucked." Groaned Axel while gripping and shaking his head.
Blinking, Zexion pinched the bridge of his nose, trying to regain his barrings, "What's done is done. There's no point in complaining now."
"Doesn't mean we can't." Said Demyx as he rolled on his stomach to Zexion's direction.
Xaldin gave him a deadpan look, sat up, and sighed, "New heart, same Demyx."
Ignoring the argument, the blue-eyed teen got up to look even further in their new surroundings. You can imagine her surprise at what she saw. Below her feet, was a surface that had a star under it. It and the pillars around were rainbow colored, giving it a neon theme. The sky, which was usually blue on earth, was a dark purple color, but that wasn't the most amazing thing. The sky held stars brighter than the darkest night on earth, but they weren't just randomly placed, the stars formed the 12 zodiac constellations. What was even more amazing is that, it seemed to have several different planet-like orbs floating in the air.
"Okay, this isn't strange at all." Murmured Xion as she continued to look around the place. She's been to dozens of worlds, but this one took the cake in creativity. It made the teen felt like she was in a little kid's imagination.
"You're telling me." muttered a voice from behind. The black haired teen turned to see it was Xigbar, who was walking up by Xion and it seemed he was also stunned at the background, "I think we're in one of those Mario Kart tracks."
"If that was true, then a short, pudgy Italian plumber would be driving pass us with a turtle with spikes chasing after him." Claimed Saix from the other side of Xion.
"So, this the Celestial Sprit world?" Observed Vexen as he continued to look around the area, and narrowed his eyes with mirth, "I never expected it to…"
"Fruity?" finished Larxene.
"Your words, not mine."
"Oh, grow up old man."
"Anyways," cut in Marluxia before things could escalate, "what happens now?"
Before anyone could answer, a new, unknown voice cut in, "Well, it seems you guys are lost but it seems the king was right. We have some new sprits." Immediately, Organization XIII put their guards up and turned to the source of the voice. But they didn't expect to see these guys.
The single male was handsome young man of average height, distinguished by his delicate facial features and his orange hair that was the same style of Sora's own with another pair of strands, sitting on top of his head, being vaguely reminiscent of animal ears, the rest of his hair mirrors a lion's man. He had hazel eyes that were covered by a pair of azure-tinted sunglasses with a thin frame. His clothes consisted of an elegant dark suit, with the jacket left unbuttoned and the loose pants held up by a light colored belt, over a lighter shirt with a red tie around the neck, plus dark shoes. His fingers adorned three gold rings with one of them having an "X" shape, the other was plain and all had edges in relief.
On his right side was a beautiful, blue haired woman with dark blue eyes. She had large breasts, and donned a revealing bikini top that showed some kind of black tattoo over her chest. She had two gold armlets and wore a jewel circlet on her forehead to go with what looked like pure diamond earrings. Overall, she looked as if she was a mermaid.
Finally, another girl was at the left side of the orange headed man. She resembled a young girl with pink hair, brown eyes, that looked very timid and a pair of twisted horns on her head. She wore clothes based on a wool-like style that was pink and fluffy. Finally, she wore a dark orange stash around her waist with some kind of light blue symbol in the center.
"Who are you?" Demanded Saix, preparing to summon his claymore for battle. However, the man in the tuxedo held up his hands in peace.
"Whoa there friends, no one here is trying to start a fight." he said quickly. They didn't look convinced, but did seem to relax a bit.
"You still haven't answered out question yet, pretty boy." Pointed out Larxene with a hand on her hip.
"Hmph, as if we have to answer you." shot back the blue haired woman, which made Number XII's eyebrow twitch in annoyance, "But I'll humor you, I'm Aquarius the Water Barer." the mermaid introduced herself.
The man with the sun-glasses smiled and extended his hand for Axel to shake, "I'm Leo the Lion." Axel shook his hand.
"I-I'm Aries the Ram." the timid girl said, "Sumimasen!"
The Organization raised an eye-brow at the girl but started introduced themselves none the less, "Okay, with that being said, I'm Xemnas." started the golden-eyed man.
"I'm Xigbar."
"Xaldin."
"I'm Vexen."
"Lexaeus."
"Zexion."
"Saix."
"I'm Axel, got it memorized?"
"I'm Demyx."
"I'm Luxord."
"Marluxia."
"I'm Larxene."
"And I'm Xion."
Leo raised an eye-brow at the pattern he noticed, "Why do all you names have an X in them?" he asked.
"Because we can." answered Xigbar.
"That's not an answer." Claimed Aquarius woman, rather irritated.
Larxene snorted, "Like we have to answer a mermaid with legs." she spat back, making the blue-haired woman's teeth grit.
Before things could get messy, Aries decided to chimed in, "By the looks of it, you guys must be the new sprits Seirei-o-sama felt arrive."
Vexen raised an eye-brow at this, "Seirei-o-sama? Is that your leader?"
The pink-haired woman nodded, "Yes, he's the Celestial Spirit King of this world, Sumimasen!" the group of black-coats sweat dropped her actions.
Leo continued, "The Sprit King said that there would be new Celestial Sprits and as soon as he felt your presence, he sent the three of us here to get you guys."
"As troublesome as it is, he wants to meet with you all." Stated Aquarius, who seemed very annoyed with the situation at hand.
"Well, standing here isn't going to help. Time to meet the boss man!" Exclaimed Axel with everyone agreeing with him.
"Let's get going then." Stated the orange haired man as he led the nobodies to the king.
The trip to go see this Celestial Spirit King was an awe-inspiring trip for the former empty husks; the auroras that shimmered through the sky like beautiful snakes made from light, the stars shone down much more brightly than the group have ever seen in any world. Now with hearts, they could truly admire the beauty of this world. Though that was dinmished, with Larxene and Aquarius glaring daggers at each other and exchanging small insults along the way, making the atmosphere tense.
"Oh thank god!" exclaimed Xigbar as they stopped and reached a canyon.
The group looked around the area, confused before Demyx spoke up, "Hey, aren't we suppose to be meeting the king?" he asked.
His question was answered, when a small sphere of light appeared in the middle of the canyon, floated for a second before expanding to a massive size and blinding black-coated spirits, but the others remained unaffected by the blinding light. When the light faded a large form stood in the canyon; the most striking feature was his very long white whiskers, blue skin and red eyes deprived of pupils.
He appeared dressed in full plate armor in the color of turquoise and gold, the helmet on his head has the same colors, with the peacock feather on the top and adorned with horn-like features on its sides. Inherent in the outfit is white cape, which was mysteriously fluttering, even though there was no wind.
It was the Seirei-o.
"You are the newest among my kin?" The Celestial Spirit king boomed directing the question towards the Organization, whose eyes were narrowed, as if studying him.
It was no wonder he was the king of this world, the Seirei-o certainly earned his title; his mere presence was intimidating and radiated power as he stood there watching the thirteen individuals, "Yes, it seems that we are." spoke Xemnas, looking at the king straight in the eye without flinching.
For a second, the gigantic spirit stared at the being of nothingness with tension high, before letting out a deep guttural laugh, "I see, it seems she was right when she said your group would appear; while this is un-heard of, I welcome you all to our family, old friends."
"Holy crap, I think Santa got reincarnated." Axel whispered to Xion.
The rest of the Organization blinked at the being before them. They thought that the Seirei-o would be more of a hardliner, interrogate them on how they got to this world, where they came from and their intensions here or something like that but no, he welcomed the group with open arms and calling them 'old friends'. However, Zexion read between the lines and noticed something.
"Excuse, but what do you mean by 'she'?" asked the schemer.
The king's eyes close in thought with a hand on his chin, "Ah yes, about a while ago, a goddess come before me."
"A goddess Seirei-o-sama?" Leo asked. He was curious, but slightly agitated that he hadn't heard of this situation until now - he was the leader of the Celestial Spirits after all.
The moustache man nodded, "Yes. I won't go into all the details, but a beautiful woman appeared before one day and radiated pure power, so I could only assume she was a goddess. Luckily, she was not here to fight, she was only here to tell me that I would receive thirteen new sprits soon….And it appears she was right. Though, who she is a mystery."
"So that's what she meant about having a friend." Muttered Vexen to himself, remembering the conversation from before, "So are you going to tell us just what are we now?"
The king nodded, "Ah yes, she did mention to explain to you guys what your jobs are.
"Well then, tell us already! Don't keep us in suspense." Ushered Axel.
Seirei-o nodded, "As you should know, we Celestial Spirits are like summons for mages in the world of Earthland." he explained, "They use our keys to summon us into their world and we fight for them. But, for the mage to use our keys both the mage and the spirit need to make an agreement on what days the key can be used and how it is to be used.Though, there are a few mages like that like the holder of Aries and Leo key but the holder of the Aquarius, Cancer and Capricorn's keys is someone that that the owner can call constantly." he explained.
"That's right. Now all we have to do now is get you guys a summoner and-"Started Leo, but was cut off by the Gambler.
"Actually, the chips have been already set for us." He stated much to everyone except the Organization's surprise.
"Wait, you already have a summoner?"
Demyx nodded to confirm this, "Yeah man, how do you think we got to this world in the first place?"
Aquarius decided to speak for the first time since getting here, "So, you've already got a caller huh?" she said while putting a hand on her hip and walking up to the group, "So, who's the lucky mage?"
"A little girl by the name of Lucy Heartfilia." Answered Saix but noticed the mermaid's eye widening at the name, "You seem surprise."
The bluenette nodded, "That's Miss Layla's daughter. She gave the kid my key before she died." she explained before giving a 'tsk-ed' at her situation.
Zexion nodded in understanding, "I see. So, we'll be seeing each other a lot in Earthland too."
"Unfountainly."
"Well good then!It's good to hear my kin spending so much time with each other!" Seirei-o bellowed with great joy, "Now then, may I know your names old friends?"
"Xenmas."
"Xigbar."
"Xaldin."
"Vexen."
"Lexaeus."
"Zexion."
"Saix."
"Axel."
"Demyx."
"Luxord."
"Marluxia."
"Larxene."
"Xion."
Nodding, the king engraved their names in his heart until the end of time and continued, "Now that's out of the way, what shall I call you all?" he pondered to himself, deciding on the group's title as a spirits."
"Titles? I didn't think we needed a nickname for this gig." Questioned Larxene while raising an eye-brow.
Aries decided to chimed in at this point, " Seirei-o-sama gives titles to us, depending on our characteristics. You could say it what defines us generally. Sumimasen!"
Rolling his eyes at the action, the scientist decided to speak up, "That's nice and all, but I'm afraid we've already gave ourselves titles before becoming spirits." he stated.
"You did? How wonderful! What imagination you all have! Now, to show you all to your home."
That thought just occurred to the Organization. They were so caught up with their now adventure, they hadn't even thought of where would they live from now on, "Okay then, where are we going to stay?" asked Marluxia, hoping to get a roof over his head.
The blue skin being pointed his huge finger at the other side of the canyon. The group looked over and gasped at what they saw. At the distance, was purple clouds that had had menacing lighting shooting from them. But looking closely, one could see that it was covering a huge, white castle that had the nobody symbol all over its surface.
It was the Castle That Never Was.
"The castle survived?! But that's impossible!" Shouted Xigbar.
Seirei-o shrugged, "I see you know what that place is. It appeared all of a sudden, a while ago. I'd normally would've send one of my men, but I would never risk one of my kin for going into a place like that."
"Gloomy and mysterious, yep, that's our house." Muttered Axel.
"Well, in that case, VIRGO!"
Seconds later the ground not too far away bulged then exploded. When the dust settled a young woman, who looked no older than nineteen stood just in front of the massive hole that she had created. She took the form of a maid with shackles around her wrists, short, pink hair, and unblinking, blue eyes. She wore a typical black and white maid's outfit, "Yes, Seirei-o-sama?"
"May you escort my newest kin to their castle, just in case something happens?"
Virgo nodded in understanding, "Hai."
"Wonderful! Well, see you all later."
Xion nodded before walking over to the pink-haired maid, "Well, it's good to meet you Virgo. I'm Xion." she stated while holding out her hand and smiling.
Virgo looked at him for a second before turning around quickly, "Time to set off." she said simply before walking towards the castle.
Xion put down her hand and turned to Axel with a confused look. The older man shrugged, "Some people are just like that." he stated before following the maid with the rest of the organization. The other sprits gave them a small wave goodbye as they left their view point.
However, nobody noticed the small blush that adorned on Virgo's face as they set off.
Earthland
Heartfilia complex
Year, X778
"Cursed...Keyblade..."
"Heh...wouldn't you like to know?"
"Is this...the end?"
"No! I don't want to—!"
"This was a fight I should not have started."
"You can't do this!"
"Kingdom Hearts...where...is my heart?"
"Now go."
"No way!"
"How could you...Roxas?"
"This...This is the heart of a hero..."
"I won't allow—!"
"Looks like my summer vacation...is over."
Brown eyes shot open from the dream world, as Lucy woke up. Her little face was sweating and shaking from the nightmare, 'What was that? Was it a nightmare…or something else?' she thought before looking at her lap. She found she had slept with her new Platinum keys for the night out of fear that they would only be a dream. Strangely, they brought comfort to her, safety she hasn't felt since her mother was alive…
But what was that dream? All the little blonde saw was the deaths of her guardian angels by the hand of a boy with brown, spiky hair. Does he have anything to due with them? Did it have anything to do with the redemption, the group was talking about? Were they evil in their past life? These questions and more plagued the brown-eyed girl's mind as she tried to wrap her mind around her newest dream.
However, a bright light hit her eye, forcing it to close. Turning to her window, the youngest Heartfilia saw the yellow sun rising up from its slumber.
"Morning already?" She mumbled as she dragged herself out of bed, as she did this, her newest set of keys fell onto the floor. With quick reaction, Lucy bent down and regained her prized possession. To held it close to her bosom, fearfully, almost as if she expected them to d vanish into a dream. It's only been one day and these keys have already impacted her life greatly, after all, they were her guardian angels after all.
Shaking her head, Lucy walked over to her drawer and opened it, inside, was a ordinary golden key with the crest of the Water Bearer, two parallel waves, stamped on its bow. This was Aquarius's key, the last thing Lucy received before her mother died. Sighing sadly, the future Celestial Mage put the Platinum keys inside the drawer. Maybe later, she'll call one of them, but for right now, she has get ready for the morning.
Smiling, the brown-eyed girl went to her closet, in order to get ready for the day.
The Castle That Never Was,Celestial Sprit World
"Finally, home, sweet home!" exclaimed Axel he and the organization entered the castle. The walk to the home base was uneventful…except for the fact that Virgo keep staring at Xion from up front. The pink-haired maid kept glancing at the raven teen for most of the time, much to the latter's confusion. How she didn't crash into anything was a mystery. Luckily, the group made it into the castle, and were currently in Twilight's View, where a certain sight greeted them.
"Kingdom Hearts!" the youngest of the bunch, the others followed to where he was pointing. Indeed, a familiar, floating heart-moon towered above them in the sky. Light seemed to be pouring out of it, even though the sky was bright and clear.
"Kingdom Hearts? But how?" Zexion echoed. The Freeshooter came and slapped his hand over the former's shoulder to get his attention.
"Jeez, you'd think with that book you'd know everything." That statement earned him a glare from the latter,"Anyways, that thing's a reminder for us not to screw up our job."
"Indeed." Agreed Xenmas with his arms behind his back. He was no fool. He wouldn't dare try to take the power of Kingdom Hearts again, considering it was now conscious. It has the power to bring both the beginning and the end for any being, so it would be complete suicide if he dared to rebel against the being. Besides, he already has a heart, thus, letting him truly exist again, "It seems that we will be watched by her and if we act up, I pretty sure she'll have our asses on a silver platter." The other members looked at the sliver-haired man strangely at his choice of words making his golden eyes roll, "Oh, yes, I can cuss too you know."
"OOOOOOOOkay, I'll just go check out my room then…" Stated Demyx as he went to his room with the other organization members following his actions by teleporting.
With Xion
Xion re-appeared in front of the door that was marked 'XIV', opened it, and proceeded to walk in. Her room was mostly white with nothing but a long, king sized bed that at the nobody symbol on it at the side, a white table, and a closet that he never uses. The raven haired teen made a note to decorate it when she got the chance.
Xion kicked of her shoes, took of the shield on her shoulder and put it on the table and crawled into bed. She didn't bother to pull the blanket up, she'd just sleep in his cloak. It was good for keeping you warm when you were cold and keeping you cool for when you were hot, so it made a good blanket all on its own.
She closed her eyes in bliss and turned to left side. She was so relaxed right now. She was about to go to sleep until she felt something. She felt breathing in her front.
Breathing that wasn't her's.
Xion opened her eyes to see the source.
A pair of blue eyes met each other.
The blue eyes of Xion blinked at the unblinking eyes of Virgo.
"Hello, my lord."
The sudden appearance of the maid caused Xion to yelp and jump off the bed causing to crash onto the floor. Virgo looked down to see the raven teen rubbing her head, "Are you okay my mistress?"
The teen in question nodded quickly before looking up, "Virgo! What are you doing here?" she asked, somewhat irritated.
"I'm here to see if my mistress needs anything." Virgo said with an innocent tilt of the head.
Xion face palmed herself, "Okay that explains why you're in my room, but why were you in my bed?"
"It is necessary for this lowly servant to be close to her mistress."
The young Keyblade wieldier sighed; not quite knowing what she was implying there, "I can't convince you to go somewhere else, can I?" Virgo shook her head, "Fine, fine. But please don't get TOO close to me, people might misunderstand on what's going on." the pink haired maid nodded her head fiercely, moved over on the bed, and patted the spot by her.
The blue-eyed spirit closed the door to her room,rubs her arm awkwardly, and then shuffled to the spot opened for her on his bed, laying down oh so slowly before feeling Virgo's own head, weighing on herbed.
Now tried mentally, Xion closed her eyes for a blissful sleep, but not before her bed mate says something that sent shivers down her spine for some reason.
"Good night, my mistress~."
Skies of Fiore
In the shadows of a gigantic airship, a man sat within the shadows. The moonlight illuminating the room he was in revealing everything, but his face to the person in front of him.
"Master." A feminine voice spoke. The female bowed to the master who nodded. was a beautiful pale skinned woman with dark purple hair that stretched down to her mid-back, but it was tied up into two tails which rested on each shoulder. She was in a rather revealing white dress that was patterned with tiger stripes which revealed her back. On her back, in dark red, a symbol which was made up of two jagged lines. Intersecting with the two lines were two arcs, one arc intersecting with one line, which curved to look like a makeshift heart, two small spikes jutting out of each arc. Around her wrists were golden bracelets and she wore a pair of black high heel shoes. Her deep brown eyes looking at her master with that ever present hint of mischief. This was Ultear Milkovich
"Rise, my child." The man spoke with an elderly voice.
"Master, just about a month ago, there was great magical energy that emerged in Fiore." Ultear informed the master. The Master nodded.
"Speak...you have my attention." The Master spoke. Ultear nodded before continuing.
"The magical source erupted in the country somewhere that was not from this world."
The master raised an eyebrow, "So, was it Anima that caused it?" he asked. Ultear shook her head.
"At first that what I thought, but when I compared the two it seemed that the spell that took place was far stronger than Anima. It seems that whoever casted it was not from Earthland nor Edolas." She explained which made the old man widen his eyes in shock.
"I see…have you been able to pin point the location of this development?" he asked, but to his dismay the woman once again shook her head.
"No, I've tried, but it looks like the location of the magic was blocked off by a different one. One that was too ancient and powerful to bypass."
The old master scratched his beard in thought before responding, "I understand. Keep in check at this magic but don't let it interfere with your other affairs. The time of his resurrection draws near, my child. " ordered the old man
"Yes, master Hades." Bowed Ultear before turning and leaving the room.
Heartfilia complex
After breakfast, Lucy began to run back to her room, with excitement. Since she has decided to be a mage, she needed to know how magic worked in this world of course and there was no better time than the present.
So who else can help her with her situation?
Why, one of her guardian angels of course!
But which one?
Opening her door, she went over to her drawer, not bothering to close her door, and opened it, trying to decide who would she pick.
Putting a finger on her lips, she looked over her collection of platinum keys, looking over her choices. Each one was indeed special, so which one was the right one? Her small brown eyes stopped at her decision. The key's teeth was the same as a traditional house key, the head of the in the middle of the key's head was a gem that shine the color of gray and within it, was the silhouette of a book with three white, intertwined strange symbols that had spikes on each of their tops, in its center.
Smiling to herself, the youngest Heartfilia went out her room with her chosen key. Looking around to see if there was anyone and to make sure she wasn't followed, the eleven-year old went out of the back door.
Finally finding a spot, Lucy looked around her surroundings, making sure it wasn't too far from the complex. She had the tendency to go on little 'adventures' and ends up scaring the staff half to death. This time, she wouldn't take that chance, since there would be too many problems that would arise if they discovered her with her platinum keys.
Yeah, not the best thought.
Shaking her head out of her thoughts, Lucy looked down at her key and clenched it, 'Okay, crunched time.' she thought determined to do this.
Now, how do you summon a spirit?
Sighing to herself, the brown eyed girl closed her eyes to look back at her memories. She remembered how her mother focusing her magic into a golden key and chanting some kind of words. Maybe it could work with her platinum key?
Not seeing another choice, the little blonde kept her eyes closed and tried her hardest to focus her magic into her hand. At first, nothing happened for her and was about to give up, until she felt some sort of familiar yet foreign energy flowing though her little hand. The energy flowed from her hand to the key as a medium for it to be used. For some reason, certain words flowed into Lucy's little mind that was once again unknown but held a great deal of importance to her. Finally, the words in her head came out of her small mouth in the order in which they came in her brain as a magicail, blue seal appeared below her feet.
"Open, the Gate to the Cloaked Schemer! Number VI, Zexion!"
With those words, a cloud of black smoke came to life and went around its summoner. Then it shifted into a figure and finally soildfied into a familiar face, who was holding the same book that was marked within the gem of the key expect its cover was dark grey and the strange symbols were white. The spine of the book displayed a Roman number six (VI), along with the title "Hallucination—Another Side", superimposed over yet another strange symbol.
Zexion blinked for a second to register what just happened. He looked around his new surroundings to have his eyes land on the small form of his summoner.
"Lucy?"
Said girl squealed in delight at her acomplishment and began to jump up and down, "YAY, I DID IT! I'M SO AWESOME!" she shouted out, praising herself, with a confuse summon staring at her.
"Lucy, did you actually summon me already?" Questioned the steel haired brown eyed Heartfilia nodded fiercely, "Without any help?", once again, Lucy nodded.
"Yeah! I couldn't tell anyone else about what I was doing cuz' they might take them away from me! So, I sneaked away from the house and to the back door to call you, I put some magic into your key, then some kind of magic circle appeared on the ground and POOF here you are! It was all like-"
That was when the youngest Heartfilia continued her rant on the magic she just preformed while her call's mind was somewhere else with a ralization, 'She used magic without any pratice!' he thought wildly, 'Lucy called upon her magic with no one's help, she activited it on instinct. She's a complete natural at this! I can see why Kingdom Hearts said she needed someone to help her in using her abilities, her potential is vast…And we'll be the ones to exploit it.' TheSchemer thought with a smirk forming on his lips. God help whoever gets in her way after the Organization is done with her.
Getting off of his stupor, the aqua eyed young man looked down to his summoner, who was still ranting," Lucy, not ruin your little celebration, but may I ask why have you call me?"
The soon-to be blonde mage stopped her little dance and looked up to her summon, "Well, I wanted to know how does magic work since I'm going to be a mage soon, so I wanted to ask you about magic and stuff." she explained innocently.
"I see. Eagered to learn the basics are we?" Teased number VI, causing Lucy to puff her cheeks.
"Hey, like mummy always said 'There's no time like the present.' and I'm sticking through it!" she stated with determination.
Zexion nodded, "In that case," he raised his book. "let's began the search." Zexion's book suddenly snapped open flipping wildly through its pages before it stopped near the middle, revealing many paragraphs of words printed on the book's pages, "To begin with, magic is the physical embodiment of the spirit. When the physical spirit of an organism connects with the spiritual flow of nature, the spirit forms magic as a product of the connection. Only ten percent of the world's population is able to use magic. It takes an enormous amount of concentration and mental ability to use magic. To utilize magic, a mage must use magic power. Magic Power is the source of power for all Mages it is composed of eternano. Every mage has a container inside their body that determines the limits of their Magic Power. In the case that it becomes empty, eternano comes from the atmosphere and enters the mage's body and after a while, their Magic Power is returned to normal." he explained as slowly as possible to his caller, who was still soaking up the knowledge she just received.
"So, how do I draw my magical power?" The little blonde asked almost shyly.
"Sit."
Lucy nodded, and sat on the ground, cross-legged as her teacher continued.
"Now, mages can learn multiple styles of Magic, but it is noteworthy that many mages have natural affinities for their own magic style. We already know that you can use Celestial Spirit Magic since you inherited it from your mother, correct?" Lucy nodded, "Then let us see what magic you can you yourself. Now close your eyes and concentrate." He commanded.
Lucy concentrated deeply on the action of drawing out whatever magic power he could find, sweat lining his brow. She searched her body for something, anything that would feel different inside her anatomy. But just as she was about to give up, something pulled her deep within her mind, or in this case, her heart.
Slowly but surely, the little Heartfilia began awaken from her slumber as she raised her head, "Where…am I?" she asked herself groggily before getting on her two feet.
She looked around to see empty blackness all around her, the only light within this place was from the platform she was standing on. Looking down, she saw the same portrait when the Organization met with Kingdom Hearts except with a few differences. Instead of black and white, the platform's color was yellow and instead of the symbol of Nothingness in the center, there was what looked like a pink fairy with a tail. But what shocked Lucy the most was what was above it.
It looked like an older version of her showing only her left side, with different set clothes. Her blonde hair was in a lump of it tied into a ponytail of the top right side of her head. Her brown eyes were revealed and showed a look that was determined and confident. She was wearing a white shirt with a blue cross design, which showed off her chest and made younger Lucy blush at the her development. Around her neck, was what looked like a black, inverted Nobody symbol on it. The symbol was different in that the three spikes were arranged all pointing down like a trident instead of a picture also showed her wearing a blue skirt in similar color and had thigh high black boots. Around her waist was brown belt, she also saw tips the platinum and gold keys tied onto the right side of the belt and a what looked like a handle that had a simple, cylindrical form, with a dark central part and lighter edges; the lower one was covered in stud-like ornaments and had a small rope hanging from it, which had a star-shaped pendant is being attached to, secured to her left hip via a small clasp on her belt.
"Is this what I could be in the future?" Wondered present Lucy who was in awe at the portrait of herself before she remembered why she was here in the first place, "Oh yeah, I'm suppose to find out what kind of magic I use!" she exclaimed while pounding a fist into her hand.
Once again, the youngest Heartfilia looked around the empty space of darkness before folding her arms; this was going to be harder than she thought.
Though being in this empty space did give the soon to be mage some time to think about magic. Just what is magic? How did it come to be? Just what was its purpose? This subject allowed her to go back into her memories on this certain subject with her mother.
Heartfilia Complex, Year X772
Layla Heartfilia sat on the edge of the marble fountain of the Heartfilia Konzern watching her five year old daughter playing in the garden and enjoying the sunshine of the lovely summer's afternoon.
Little Lucy then ran up to her mother for a question, "Neh, mummy?"
"Yes, Lu-chan?"
"How do you do that magic stuff?" the little girl asked curiously.
Layla chuckled at the question before answering, "Don't worry Lu-chan, you won't have to worry about that stuff until your older." she responded, causing her daughter to pout.
"Awww, but can't you at least tell me where does it comes from?"
Sighing, the mother of one conceded, "Okay, okay, you win." She agreed causing Lucy to shout in victory, "You see, all of Magical Power came from the source of it; the One Magic."
"The One Magic?"
"Yes and it is a potent power that allowed people like me to become a mage and to use its power.
"Okay. But do you know what exactly is the One Magic?" Pressed the youngest Heartfilia.
Layla smiled at her daughter then placed a hand on her chest.
"Its love."
"Love…" muttered Lucy as she put her little hand over her heart. What she wanted was to protect the ones that she loved which included her Celestial Spirits. That was the really the reason why she wanted to learn magic. Lucy wanted to have the strength to reach out to her friends. To protect the people close to her heart with her own strength. The power of her heart.
The world stopped for her, even in her own sub-consciousness each and everything stopped…
Or rather Lucy found herself in a tranquil state that far surpassed that of an elderly sage. Because right now, her Body (Yang) and Mind (Yin) had become one with her Soul (Life)…
Back in the real world, a certain member of Organization XIII was feeling anxiety at the situation. Why? Because, he couldn't feel his student's presence right know. Physically, of course, he could feel her, but spiritually, it was like her mind went to another world or something. There was also the fact that SHE WASN'T BREATHING!
"Oh, crap, oh, crap, oh, crap." Zexion dropped his book started shaking Lucy's shoulders. She dies then it game over for him and the others. If she's dead then the whole Organization would be sent to oblivion and be damned by Kingdom Hearts itself, the black coated man shuddered, "Then I'll have to hear Larxene bitch and complain about my screw up for all of eternity."
Luckily, a small yawn returned his hope then made him quickly go back to his spot and innocently whistle to himself, but his aqua eyes still looked upon the brown eyed girl.
Stretching, Lucy opened her eyes then got up, 'Whoa. That was intense.' she thought as she looked at her teacher…who seemed to be whistling to himself with his arms behind his back. He stopped and turned back to Lucy as if he just noticed her.
"Ah, I see your done napping." He stated, which caused his student to pout, "So, how was your dreams?"
Lucy simply stuck out her tongue at him, "I'm not telling!"
Zexion raised an eye brow but decided to move on, "Fine, then. But did you at least discover your magic?
The little blonde looked sheepish while rubbing a hand on the back of her head, "Umm, not really."
Her teacher sweatdropped the statement then sighed, "Okay then. Hold out your palm and focus your magic there. Since you more than likely unlocked the ability to use a second magic, it should reveal itself within your palm." he instructed with Lucy obeying.
The future mage held out her palm, closed her eyes and focused her magic into her hand. Then, something unexpected appeared when Lucy opened her eyes. A blue orb of magic energy came to life and glowed in its caller's palm. Blinking in surprise, Lucy noticed her teacher's eyes were wide at this development.
"Zexion-sensei, is there something wrong? Did I do anything bad?"
The sound of her voice broke Zexion out of his shock, "No. It's just that this kind of development is… unheard of."
"Unheard of?"
"Yes. Normally must be channeled through a medium. Light. Fire. Water. Wood. Even the body itself. But this? This is pure magic in its rawest of forms." He explained, pointing at the orb in his student's hand.
"This is pure magic?" Asked Lucy, who was in awe at the orb.
Zexion nodded, "This kind of magic is something that was something unheard of until now. Pure magic hasn't been used since the days before the First Guild Master of Fairy Tail, it is beyond Lost Magic. It's Ancient Magic."
"Whoa."
Was the only thing Lucy could describe this moment. She just re-discovered a magic that hasn't been used since the times of the Black Wizard Zeref. Magic itself in exsitentence.
And it felt great.
But then the little blonde noticed something, "Hey sensei, why is your book on the floor?" Lucy asked innocently.
Zexion just remembered that he dropped his book and reclaimed it from the ground, "Ah yes, thank you for reminding me."
"Yeah, but what was it doing there?"
The aqua eyes of Zexion darted left to right, trying to come up with an excuse. He didn't want her to know he was worried about her. He wasn't soft like that!
"Ah yes. I dropped it." He responded quickly.
"You dropped it?"
"Yes…I have butter fingers."
"Okay…"
"Anywho," Stated Zexion, before he could be questioned anymore, "It is time for us to began your torture-I mean training for the next few years." he declared with a dark chuckle, causing his student to gulp in fear.
This training is gonna suck.
Hello people! Hoped you all like this chapter! As for Lucy's magic besides being a Celestial Mage, she will have direct control over magic called Energy Make. Thank you KitsuneDragon for letting me use the name for Lucy. Still, I'm having trouble deciding how Lucy will use the magic. Should I let her base it off of the Rasengan from Naruto or give her the moveset of Kuja from Dissidia: Final Fantasy. I can't decide!
Another magic she will use involves the Fleuve d'étoiles whip. She'll use a few moves I got from a show that few know about in my opinion. You'll know how she'll get in the next chapter.
Also for those who are wondering how Zexion knows all that stuff about Earthland, its because he looked through the memories of some random dude in the Celestial world without no one knowing and organized it in his Lexicon.
Finally, the next chapter will be a time-skip for about three years, which Lucy will spend training her ass off with four of the Organization members being held responsible for overlooking it which includes Zexion.
Hoped you liked this chapter, until next time!
