Hellloooo! I'm writing this about an hour after last chapter, look at me, being all fancy with pre-written chapters. I found out a great writing trick that works for me, I write 200 words, read a chapter of some fanfic, write 200 more words, etc. It works for me if I have trouble getting motivated. Anyway, get ready for Team Lucy's first job! It's gonna be great! Also, I know it's hard to keep track of OC's sometimes, so sorry if that gets difficult. now let's go!
"Lucy, who's taking over bar work today? And who's going to watch the guild?" Serenity asked.
"Oh don't worry. Eliza's taking over the bar, and Axel will be watching the guild... that guy is crazy powerful. I think he'll definitely be S-class." Lucy replied.
"Yeah... I feel it, too." Serenity said.
"So! Are we all ready? Lilith picked out our job, I think it's just taking out some bandits causing trouble in crocus. With the six of us, it should be no problem." Piper walked over to Serenity and Lucy with Lilith, Liana and Aurora.
"Yep! Axel's taking over, Eliza is working the bar. We're good." Lucy replied.
"Ok... Lucy, we've already decided on a team name, by the way. In your honor, we've made our team name... Team Lucy!" Serenity exclaimed.
"Really? Wow... I'm incredibly grateful... you guys are the best." Lucy was beaming. Team Lucy's members headed out to the train station, departing for Crocus.
"So, Lucy, when are the S-class exams?" Liana asked eagerly.
"Oh, well we have about 20 members now... after we get 30, I'll pick out the ones I believe are capable. I can already tell a few I know will be going.." Lucy replied.
"Hey, Lucy, since you're guild master you could take an S-class job with us anyway, right?" Liana said.
"I... I could. Never would, though."
"Yeah, I figured as much, I wouldn't either."
The team entertained themselves on the trip to Crocus. They shared stories, and played games. Finally, the train came to a stop in Fiore's capital, Crocus.
"Whoa... I've never been here before." Serenity said, overwhelmed by Crocus's beauty.
"Hey, wait, I believe this is where the Grand Magic Games take place. Right?" Lilith said.
"It is. I've been here before, on my travels. I watched one of them." Aurora said.
"Ah. So, we'll stay the night at an inn, and tomorrow we set out to defeat the bandits." Lucy said.
"Yep! Sounds like a plan!" Serenity replied.
The six girls reached the inn. They only had one room with six beds in it.
"Ok! So, I have an idea of what to do!" Liana shouted.
"We should go over our magic, strengths and weaknesses. If we're a team now, we need to work together. I'll start! My magic is mainly used to enchant strength, speed, defense, et cetera. It's great if I'm in the background, but not for fighting." Liana smiled.
"Ok! I'm Next!" Serenity yelled. "I use magic with some very powerful Galaxial Spells, but it takes a lot out of me."
"Me! Me!" Piper said. "I use light magic, it's great in combat, but can be rather destructive."
"... I'll go." Lilith spoke up. "Dark magic, same strength and weakness as Piper."
"Me!" Aurora said eagerly. "I use fire devil slaying magic, and I can eat fire to regain energy, but I'm weak to water."
"My turn." Lucy said. "As you all know, I use celestial spirit magic. It has a lot of potential power as I get stronger, but I'm useless without my keys."
"Ok! That was good! I'm tired, though, so I'm going to bed." Liana said.
"...It's only 9, you know," Serenity said. "Liana?"
"I think she's already asleep." Aurora walked over to Liana's bed.
"Well... might as well go to bed too. It was a long train ride." Lucy said. "Goodnight, guys!" Lucy didn't even bother to change out of her clothing as she climbed into bed.
A red key. Acnologia. Zeref. Fire. Natsu. A bright light, coming towards me. "Lucy?" "Lucy we need you..."
"Lucy. We need you to wake up." Serenity yelled, enunciating every word.
Lucy opened her eyes. "...Oh." She mumbled.
"Sorry. Overslept, I'll get ready." Lucy leaped out of her bed to the bathroom. She quickly combed her hair and left it down. Changing into her most basic pair of activewear leggings and white tank, she ran out of the inn yelling "No time for breakfast! Let's go!" while pulling Serenity by her hand behind her.
"Ok! Ok, we're coming Lucy! Wow, you're excited." Serenity said in surprise.
"...We already had breakfast, by the way." Lilith said.
The six bounded out of the inn, led by Lucy. Eventually they came to a bank on lock-down.
"This is the place?" Aurora asked.
"Last place the bandits were at." Lucy replied.
"Lucy and I will go in first. Don't forget, the code word is 'Heaven'." Serenity said. Lucy and Serenity silently walked into the bank. Lucy looked around the lobby, to find ransacked ATMs and knocked-over chairs. They ventured deeper into the vault, where prized possessions were kept, only to find it completely devoid of objects.
"Oh? What do we have here? Some nobodys who think they can be a hero?" a deep voice said.
"Show yourself!" Serenity growled. Lucy widened her eyes as 5 men stepped in front of them.
"Mages?" One of them questioned. Another nodded.
"Oh, shoot." The first guy said.
"Serenity, I don't think they're mages. We got this."
"Starlight!" Serenity yelled, as a bright light flashed before the bandit's eyes. All of them staggered over, covering their eyes in pain.
"Enchant Magic! Strength!" Liana yelled.
"Hey, we didn't say the codeword!" Lucy said.
"I know. We came anyway." Liana smiled. Lucy just sighed but smiled, too.
"Fire Devil's Inferno!" Aurora yelled, as a ring of fire surrounded one of the bandits.
"Death Scythe!" Lilith's magic generated a black scythe around one, incapacitating them.
"Light shower!" Piper shouted, and a little rain of light bullets hit one of the bandits.
Serenity and Lucy's fists began to glow gold as they knocked out the last two bandits.
"Thanks for the power-up, Liana. Probably the only reason I was able to use the golden fist." Lucy said, smiling. Liana nodded. Then, they all looked back at the unconscious group of bandits and smiled. Their first successful job.
Yay! Team Lucy's first job! I kinda had a time limit here, so sorry about the writing quality. Next update will most likely be Monday, I don't update on weekends. See you next time!
