Fairy Tail Resistance chapter 14:
It's been five days already since we've been in these hellhole. Few food has been given to us, almost as if they were trying to make us look as weak people when they kill us. What is it gonna take for them to kill us already? At least Erza had gotten better, only memory she got from the fight is a scar. Gray, Wendy, and the others are in the same state as me, sleep deprivation and incapable of doing shit. The ones that have been feeding us are some soldiers but are alongside the Sabertooth militia that are always mocking us. Once, I tried to fight with them, but Sting shocked me before I could do something. Wait till I get my hands in one of those torches.
To keep ourselves lively, we used to tell stories and sometimes even sing, depending on our mood. It might be from a sour song to an overjoyed one. Almost like someone start singing "Danny Boy" and later change to some "A Favor House Atlantic". Some (Levy) hum classical songs similar to "Brandenburg". I know, shocking. We usually shut them up. The stories consist of past adventures being remembered or just gossip (Mira) that they love to hear. But not once, was the Princess mentioned. They must all be hurting from what she did to us. I should've followed my brain instead of my heart. She was only going to bring us trouble like Ichiya used to murmur with Jura. I should've-.
Speak of the devil.
The shuffling of light feet running down the spiral stairs gave away that it was the Princess Heartfilia. I smirked a bit and grimaced as she stood in front of the bars from my cell. She was trying to catch her breath, as if she has run many stairways and hallways, and her face was flushed from sweat. If I wasn't in this conditions and moment, I would've considered devouring. But now isn't the time for that.
"So…. To what do I own the pleasure of having the visit of The Princess from the Phantom Gaylord Kingdom?" hey, like a girl I met one time once said 'If I am to be hanged, better give them a reason for hanging me'. The others tensed up and held their breaths expecting a reproach from the blond majesty in front of us.
"I'm going to get you guys all out." Was all she muttered after a moment. What?
"Get us out for hanging or killing by guns? Where are all the other soldiers? Can I have a goodbye kiss to remember old times?" I smirked darkly and with mock.
She just frowned and shook her head, taking out some golden keys that were supposed to open these 12 cells. She fumed as she tried to insert one and then another. "I'm going to get you guys all out. I already served enough Porla."
I stared aghast at her. She was ordered to hand us in a plate to Porla? Maybe he had blackmailed her with something. I wonder what it could be. I stood up from the floor against the wall and walked slowly towards her. I had a few matches in my pockets and turned one of the stick on to show her the keyhole. Hey, you should always hang with one of them just in case lights go out! But no. Nothing can ever be calm. A guard was coming down, like the hourly checkup they have for us, and after he came down the stairs, he saw the Princess there helping us. The tall man clad in the black uniform began to scream when realization hit him. Since Lucy just found the key, after trying out the eleven keys thankyouverymuch, she opened the cell door, but not before I threw my match at the soldier right at his hat, causing this to burn fast since it has some chemicals that are flammable. The guard started screaming, making many other soldiers to come. By now the ones that were with me (Erza, Gray, Wendy, Happy, and Carla) began attacking the three men that just entered. I helped Lucy take out the others, and my question of why was she helping us came to me.
"I was actually being a spy for Porla because he threatened to kill my father, the King. But once I reached here, I saw he had killed him already. So I want revenge on him and help the others in need. Even if my father did nothing to help the kingdom or to care for me." I nodded in understanding.
It must've been obvious, given her face when they were to take us to the dungeons. No wonder her face of fear. After we let out the rest of the members, I asked for Max to go running in search for the other resistances. He went out through a hole that Virgo excavated that went out of the castle and past the walls. He saluted and ran for the backup. Once outside the prision, we met more guards which we battled easily. Even some from the Balam Alliance we met but since they traveled in groups of two or three they were easy to beat. Now, the Sabertooth guys were nowhere to be met, and I guessed as much that word of us out of the galley must've travelled fast so they were probably guarding Porla.
Lucy, my lovable beautiful angel, had searched for a whip and was using it to defend herself. Now, I don't know about you but this turned me on a bit. I should ask her later how it is that she uses it. If we come alive from here, since a bunch of soldiers and the rest of the alliance (except some of Sabertooth) came rushing towards us. But thank Mavis our first leader, the rest of the other resistance came for the big fight. Jura, one of the strongest and guider of the resistances told Gray, Erza, Jellal, Gajeel, Wendy, Lucy, and me to go and find Porla, since we bet the rest are here with them. We nodded, but asked Lucy to stay out of this fight, since it might get ugly and bloody. She defied me, saying that it was her fight also to avenge her father's death. I nodded and all of us ran up the stairs that led to the throne room, place of our last battle.
Gray and Jellal opened the double doors, letting me and the rest to enter easily. We met with Sting Eucliffe, Rogue Cheney, Minerva, and Rufus, Orga, and a white haired girl which I knew was our double agent Yukino. But there, in the throne, was Porla, laughing evilly as if he was the king of the world. We'll see about that.
"I'm so glad you could make it, Mr. Dragneel. Hope you've had your fun?" he said smirking.
I smirked back. "We'll see about that, Plucky"
Of course my lame taunt was ripped-off from an old episode. We each took to fighting our respective enemies, such as Gajeel against Rogue, Erza & Jellal versus Minerva, Gray with Rufus, and Wendy was fighting off Orga. Lucy was helping off Wendy but before she could have a hard beating I saved her for a moment. Sting also moved to aid here, making me give him a weird look. Then the biggest shock I've heard came (not much really); he was Lucy's biological brother and she didn't knew. He didn't want her to know but he just spilled it there. Lucy stayed silent and froze in place, staring at the fights. Finally, I knocked Sting, Gajeel did so with Rogue, but Erza and Jellal took their vengeance by slicing up Minerva into pieces. Gray basically froze Rufus in his place with his ice cubes and sword plus Wendy had already killed Orga alongside Lucy with a gun she had and shot right through his heart (this all happened before Lucy got glued to the floor).
Seeing all this, Porla tried to escape at last minute. Lucy reacted to this and ran off towards him. I, too, went with her; since I didn't want to leave her alone. We ran as fast as we could, reaching the top of the castle where our biggest enemy was. He almost fell from the corner, since it was already breaking the stone fence. Porla turned around to face us, and gave us one last smirk.
"Lucy, my dear almost daughter, I tried doing the best I could for you."
"Not enough by killing my father!"
"Even if he abused you? Sexually and mentally?" She froze.
Porla looked at me now. "You know, if you weren't against me I would've added Fairy Tail to the Militia."
"That's all bullshit since I'm going to kill you off now."
"Too late."
And indeed it was too late. He jumped from the roof outsides from the keep, which was the tallest building in the whole fort, and fell to his death. Well, he preferred suicide to killing. I personally would've loved to insert the silver sword I had in hand through his chest and slice it open making all the blood from his organs and body come spraying out and-.
"Natsu… It's over…" I heard a small voice say besides me.
I look to my right and there's Lucy, covering her mouth in shock from everything she has seen and experienced. Taking a bit of remorse for her, I wrapped my arms around her and kissed her head as we embraced each other. This girl has passed through hell and back… much more than what I have passed. She is truly a she-warrior… dignified for admiring. The sobbing girl hugged me by the waist as she cried her worries and pains away, while I gazed at the sun raising in the horizon. A new beginning for our Kingdom was dawning on us…
"Long live the Fiore Kingdom" I muttered.
ooooooooooooooooooooooooooOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooo ooo
The cheers erupted as we walked through the crowd. Lucy, in all her splendor with her white and golden long dress waved to her people, as I sat beside her waving to all those citizens I have saved from the clutches of Porla in my white and golden uniform. I hate the colors but Virgo made me dress like this or I was going to receive Erza's beating.
Oh yea! Time skip!
Yup! Lucy is the queen of the Fiore Kingdom and I am the King! Today is our wedding day, and we were taking a stroll through the towns and cities from our vast lands. Our militia, which consisted of Fairy Tail, Blue Pegasus, Lamia Scale, and many other groups that were resistance with us have joined. Some (okay all of them) created some guilds to help serve the community much better. Which I was glad, and although my wife (heheh called her my wife sounds awesome) would be against me doing so, I still am joining them on occasions.
In other news, Happy is living off with us in the castle and he has his own room decorated with fishes an has his own servant that serves him fish 24/7. Sometimes I worry for his taste of food. Erza has a new baby and they keep saying it's gonna be a boy, which I don't know the name they'll give him and the rest of the gang are living it all happy and merrily in these two months that has passed.
"Oi, Natsu…?"
"Yeah…?" I said as I kept looking to the front of us greeting my people.
"I have something important to say."
"Mhm…?"
"I'm pregnant."
I looked at her, loosing my balance I don't fucking know how since I was sitting down. I gagged a bit as I saw her wide smile but worry in her eyes. She responded that is my baby, which is kind of obvious since we had sex in my room, in the darkness of the day we were to raid the castle, and later like three times in the master room from the castle but hey, they all count at this moment. I smiled wide finally after a while of her getting worried. I stood up from our moving chariot and stood on the roof. And I screamed.
"We're going to have a baby!" I roared with pride and the people cheered at our contempt. Even Lucy; Little Miss Pamper Lucy Heartfilia, was chuckling at my outburst. I think I heard her mutter something like 'My Darcy'.
Yeah. Things are going perfect.
Wow! 2090 words! Longest chapter! And I wasn't planning on posting it today!
Well! First I would like to say, thank you all for reading and those 100 followers and 60 something favorites! If I could I would go to each and every person and write a PM to all to give my thanks but since I'm a lazy procrastinator I can't do so.
I was going to put Lucy reading a story here but was going to be challenging so it was better to basically make a reference to the first book they talked about; "Pride and Prejudice".
I thank you all again for reading my first finished story (okay, second story finished but this one I'm actually proud like fuuuuuuuuck) and it really means a lot to me that you all liked it.
This story is not yet gonna be posted as completed, because the Epilogue is coming.
Brace yourselves! The Epilogue is coming!
Happy mother's day to all the mums out there! (yosh this chapter was posted in a mother's day. Shame on me)
