Author's Notes: This story comes from some serious personal experiences. If you have/know someone who is going through this. Be strong. Be by their side. Show you care and love them even when it gets to the point you want to give up, don't. Because you'll regret it and lose something you can never get back.


The saying: "When the stars align," was probably never associated with the level of chaos that was taking place right now. It was an all-out war of several light Guilds against a massive army from a dark organization.

And at its head was the dark Celestial Mage, Albrick.

The man was like Lucy, capable of summoning two or more Celestial Spirits and fighting alongside them. The only saving grace was he was unable to use Star Dress.

As Team Natsu fought off several powerful elemental and enhanced mages, they could wish for the safety of Lucy's arrival. Right now, Wendy and Natsu, who were feeding their magic to open the portal, were itching to join the fight, just like the other Dragon Slayers.

"Dammit, Totomaru, can you get that gravity mage?"

"Yes, I can."

The sound of weapons and magic clashing all around was deafening. And amongst them were the Royal family's knights led by Arcadia under Princess Hisui's orders.

There had been injuries and deaths on all sides since neither side was willing to give up.

"Lucy, I am sorry," Lu'Arna said as he looked at the tiny human, he called a friend who stood before him. "I'll stay here, get through the portal, and expect to fight."

He could see the indecision on her face as her eyes went to the circle on his head. Lucy did not have to say anything; he knew what she was worried about.

"Trust me," he said, cringing as electricity ran through his back. "I got this, and if fate has it, we will find a way to talk if not meet again."

Reaching out, Lu'Arna grasped Lucy's wrist and broke the sealing bracelets before pushing her into the opened portal.

But in those few seconds, Lucy's barriers had dropped entirely. The surge of her magic, thoughts, and feelings flooded him. The shock he felt as she vanished from sight was deep.

"No! What have you done!"

The enraged cry from his Uncle brought Lu'Arna back to the present. Turning slowly, Lu'Arna glared at his last remaining paternal family member. This man was the one who killed his father, mother, and little sister all for the throne.

Lifting his arms, hands grasping the control circlet, Lu'Arna pulled it up as he let his Psychic powers run rampant.

"I saved a precious person and will now save the Kingdom. That is my birthright," he said as pain turned his vision white as he ripped the circle from his head.

"You fool!"

The pain and fear in his Uncle's voice was the sweetest music to Lu'Arna's ears.

Tossing the circle to the side, Lu'Arna could finally see, hear, and feel clearly for the first time in two decades.

Letting his hands drop to the two scimitars at his hip, Lu'Arna couldn't help but smile. With a fluid motion, he drew his weapons and ran at his Uncle without remorse.

Lu'Arna slashed and dodged each attack, putting up a psychic shield and pressing his Uncle back. He enjoyed the sight of desperation appearing on the face that resembled his father's. The moment his Uncle's back hit the wall, Lu'Arna used one scimitar to deflect the electric whip while using the other cleanly severing his enemy's head from his shoulder. The spray of blood from the neck stump covered him as he smiled in satisfaction.

Lucy felt sad as the strange sensation of entering the portal encompassed her body.

Soon the sounds of battle echoed around her as the voices of her Spirits entered her mind. The brilliant light filled her vision, temporarily blinding her.

"Is that?"

"It's Luce, Wendy!"

"Damn, blondie, what are you wearing?"

"Fuck, Lucy, that's a hell of a get-up!"

"Sting, don't drool, or Yukino will beat you again."

"I'm not drooling, Rogue. And you should check yourself."

As her vision cleared and she heard the comments from her friends, family, and Guild Mates, Lucy couldn't help but smile.

Lucy assessed the situation once her vision had returned to normal. She already knew about the Dark Mage, Albrick. Leo had informed her and could show her an image of him Though it came at a price.

Feeling anger at seeing the harm inflicted on her friends, Lucy felt her magic surge and coat her body. It had been suppressed, and now it seemed to overflow from the magic containers that she was home.

Lucy left the magic circle by lifting her arms and pulling bothFleuve D'etoiles from her waist, and the whip Al'Tana gifted her. The portal had closed the moment she'd passed through it.

Lucy briefly nodded to Rufus, Freed, and Levy as she strode by them. Enjoying the shock and flustered blushes on all three faces.

Her movements were lighter and faster, meaning the gravity in Lu'Arna's world was slightly heavier than Earthlands.

So Lucy began delivering attacks with both whips and precise and smooth movements. She was glad that Lu'Arna had relented to spar with her and then teach her to dual wield the whips.

In minutes Lucy had brought a few dark mages down with poison, cuts, welts, and dislocated limbs. It made her feel pleased to help her friends and see the shock and gratitude on their faces. Though the looks she could feel boring into her back from the Royal Knights made her silently giggle. Lucy continued to make her way towards where she felt the tainted Celestial magic.

That man, Albrick, had sent her to another world, conspired with a tiny, limp-dick asshole to bring disaster to both worlds. So it was only proper she returned everything she'd been through to him with interest.

"Virgo! Capricorn!" She called out as a drain on her magic happened.

The low chimes as they appeared beside her had Lucy laughing happily as she felt the love and affection spill through their bond.

"Take his Spirits. This perverted lech is mine."

The 'Yes, Hime!' and 'Yes, Miss Lucy' warmed her as she met Albricks eyes. His body twisted as he brought the sword he used toward her face.

Lucy could tell he was well-versed in how to wield it. But he'd been on the battlefield longer than herself and had drained his magic considerably. And Lucy hoped that gave her the edge to bring him down.

"You had to ruin everything, little girl. I should make you kneel and learn your place."

Lucy snorted and stared at him as she directed both whips in an intricate tangled dance at him. He evaded them and danced away from their trajectory points with the ease of experience.

She quickly read and assessed each move he made to attack or defend. Soon Lucy had a plan to take and put him in his place. So, Lucy decided to respond to his disgusting thoughts and preconceived notions.

"Yea, no. I don't want to touch your dick; godsends knows only how many STDs you've got," she said, mocking him. "Let's finish this fight. Taurus, Star dress!"

The magic coating her body changed her into the Taurus Star Dress and enhanced her raw physical strength. She could feel the power pumping through her body and muscles, giving Lucy an adrenaline high.

Laughing loudly, not caring if she sounded like she'd gone crazy, Lucy dashed at Albrick. She dodged to the right and jumped at the wall to use it as a springboard toward the ceiling. Lucy twisted her body so her feet connected with the ceiling before pushing off it and dive-bombing Albrick as she pulled back a fisted hand to punch him in his upturned and stunned face.

Al'Tana and many others stood and stared. They all had mixed emotions at the moment. The rebellion led to a civil war that lasted over two months.

To some, it seemed short, and to others, too long. But the rebellion had been planned for close to two decades. So everybody was prepared to root out the corruption.

Rei'Niera's head hung on a pike over the castle's main gate, as did several Nobles, High Court Officials, and military personnel.

Right now, though, they watched as their new king turned into a chrysalis. It was long overdue, but it had been hampered by the circlet he'd been forced to wear as a child.

None knew how long he would be inside the chrysalis. Lu'Arna had suffered severe wounds and was mentally exhausted from the sudden burst and overuse of his latent psychic powers. And the only one who could rule over them was the emaciated and mentally unstable little princess they thought had been killed by the former King and Queen.
