Hey everybody here is the second chapter of Guardian of the Guilds! Please review afterwards! It helps inspire my brain and keep me motivated!
Chapter 2: The Grand Battle Begins!
Lucy's POV:
"I call the first one!" Rin shouted, charging forward.
"Hey! That isn't fair!" Ace said, stomping his foot and pouting like a five year old. I walked over to him and flicked his forehead.
"If you don't stop acting like a kid, I swear, I will turn you into a five year old again." I said glaring at him.
"Yes ma'am!"Ace said saluting me.
I turned to the demons and saw that Rin and Shin had laid waste to most of them while I was dealing with Ace. Shin was standing calmly by a heap of dead demons and Rin was laughing mechanically and swinging her revolvers around. I sighed again. This was going to be a long night.
Master Makarov POV:
Everyone was having a good time. The party was going strong and no major fights had broken out, if you didn't count Natsu and Gray's daily squabbles a fight. Erza quickly took care of the two brats like always, so nothing got out of hand. And nothing had been broken, that is if you didn't count Elfman's pride. All in all it was a good party and there was nothing to worry about. But as I was sitting there with my booze in hand, I was watching one of my children act rather odd. Lucy was sitting by herself at the bar. Lucy was a sociable child and I couldn't make heads or tails as to why she wasn't with her friends. As I was pondering this that crazy old lady started to make the other guild masters spin. For whatever reason I was spared from her spinning so I had to stop her before Goldmine puked all over the floor. I had forgotten about little Lucy for a moment but now as I watched her stand before the swirling, dark portals I began to worry for my child. I watched as a girl from Mermaid heel charge forward shouting something about going first. The blue haired child pulled to giant revolvers out of nowhere and started shooting the creatures that came out of the portals. The boy from Sabertooth suddenly disappeared and then reappeared amongst the fray. He pulled a katana out of thin air and began to kill the monsters around him. Lucy was arguing with a brat from Lamia Scale, while the other two destroyed the demons.
"Lulu. Can you take care of that one?" the blue haired girl shouted. The pistons on her revolvers pulled back and the empty shell fell out. "Reload." The girl commanded and I could see magic streaming from her body and into the guns.
"Leave it to me." Lucy replied. She began to glow and the she disappeared in burst of light.
"Where did Lucy go?" Natsu said looking around. I could tell that my brat was panicking. Lucy was his best friend and partner. I knew he wouldn't let her get hurt. All of a sudden a rather evil sounding laugh came from behind me. I turned and saw a man holding Wendy in a headlock and there was black magic seeping from his every pore.
"Come at me Angel! You wouldn't dare attack me when I hold the lives of your nakama in my hands!" the man shouted. I could see tears welling up in little Wendy's eyes. I felt immeasurable rage fill my body. No parent would tolerate seeing their child cry. This man was dead meat! Before I could spring forward and rip him limb from limb, I felt a cool hand on my shoulder. I turned and saw that Lucy was behind me.
"Calm down Master. I have this under control. Don't worry Wendy is fine."
"What is wrong with you?!" the man shouted. He tightened his hold on Wendy's neck making her wince in pain. "Why aren't you afraid? I hold this girl's life in my hands!"
Lucy glared at the man and he visibly winced. She stuck out her hand and a golden rapier appeared in her hands. She raised the sword and pointed it at the man.
"I am not afraid of you or what you might do to Wendy."
The sword began to emit a golden light and she got into a fighting stance.
"I don't fear you because I don't fear the weak." With that statement she disappeared. All was silent for a moment before the man started laughing.
"Look at that the Angel ran away! Ha, not afraid my ass! She must be shaking in her boots Ahahahahaha!"
I was beginning to think that this man was probably insane. Lucy then appeared behind the man. The rapier was thrust forward and her body was bent in a forward motion. She straightened up and she let the rapier fall to her side. The crazy man turned to face her and a malicious smile was on his face.
"Ha, I guess you really were afraid Angel. If you bow down now maybe-"
"May the soul processing this body be driven out." Lucy said, interrupting the man mid-sentence. "Star's exorcism!"
A bright slash on the man body began to glow. Wendy was released and she ran over to where Natsu was standing. The man began convulsing and screaming. A dark shadow crept out of his mouth and flew towards Lucy. She quickly raised the rapier and brought it down on the shadow. She pinned the shade to the floor with the blade.
"Holy light!" The shadow was blasted with pure light magic and it disappeared.
"Come forth the possessed and receive your deliverance!' Lucy commanded and just like that people began walking towards her. Lucy charged the possessed and swung her sword at them.
"Holy arc." And arc of celestial magic cut through the people, knocking them off of their feet. Two giant men charged at her and I was certain that sword wouldn't be able to defeat them because of all the muscle and fat on their body. But Lucy proved me wrong. She somehow managed to move at the speed of light and swung her rapier with the same spread and force. Her sword cut through them like a butter knife through…. Well butter.
"Celestial impact!" a giant magic circle formed on several people and celestial magic slammed into their bodies. After the last man fell Lucy fell to her knees and stuck her sword into the wood. I made a mental reminder to ask Laki to help me fix that latter.
"Satacerian. Hoesar. Rightenious. Saventiuos. Cleantrian. Tenshin." Lucy began to chant these words and the men who she had beaten up began to glow. Shades also crept out of these men and once they came out the burst into black sparks. All of the injuries she had inflicted had been healed and now the men just lay upon the floor.
"Master they are just sleeping but they should wake up in a few minutes.
"Lucy! The first wave is almost over!" the black haired boy form Sabertooth shouted.
"Ok!" Lucy said and then she turned to me. "Master you need everyone who has some sort of defense magic to put up a shield. The second wave is going to be a lot worse and we need to focus on our offense the most. I promise that we'll explain everything later, but for right now I need everyone to cooperate with me."
I looked at Lucy and saw that she was serious. I nodded and turned to the other guilds.
"You heard Lucy! Let's put that shield up!"
"Aye sir!"
Lucy's POV:
I knew Master would do as I asked and the shield was beginning to form. I put my own shield up underneath theirs just as a failsafe. I teleported over to my team mates. Rin was sitting on a pile of demons and Ace was leaning against a pillar. And Shin was being a ninja by hiding in the shadows.
"What now Lulu?" Rin asked looking at me.
"The second stage would probably be the best way to go, but let's see what we're up against first before we go second stage."
"Agreed." Shin said, stepping from the shadows.
Rin and Ace gave me the thumbs up, so I knew we were ready to go.
"Guardians, the second wave has begun." The archive said. "One demon is passing through the gates.
"Only one… then that means…." Shin said.
"Yup! We got a boss on our hands!"Rin chirped.
"Oy vey!" Ace said face palming. I sighed again. This was going to be reeeeaaaally long night.
"Alright guys, have second stage on standby!"
"Roger!"
The black portal fluctuated and out stepped a man who I could honestly say I hated.
"Long time no see! How nice to see you again Guardians." The man said.
"I wish I could say the same Puppet Master." I said, glaring at him. He was wearing the same getup as always. He had on a purple suit and silver top hat, adorned his head. He still had that stupid mask on and that same sly grin was still attached to his face.
"I swear to God, one day I am gonna knock that stupid grin off of your face!" Rin yelled at him.
"Rin don't swear at God." I reprimanded her. She glared at me for a while before she went back to glaring at the Puppet Master.
"Well the Guardians shall we get this party started?!" he said, his grin turning sinister.
I looked at my friends and they nodded.
"Archive activate second stage!" I commanded.
"Second stage activated. Program commencing."
Four magic circles appeared beneath our feet and the archive began the second stage process.
"Lucy Heartfilia. Code name: The Angel. Second stage, Celestial Seraphim, is commencing." The archive chirped
I felt my body changing as second stage worked its magic. My body was emitting a golden glow. Once I had stopped glowing, I was dressed in a strapless white dress. The bodice was tight but the skirt flared out to my knees. The twelve zodiac signs were printed on the hem of the dress in gold. My hair was in a bun and a golden circlet was on my head. My wing were folded behind me and each and every feather looked like a little galaxy. So each of my six wings looked like they were piece of space that were attached to my back.
"Rin Mayakoto. Code name: The Archer. Second stage, Aquarian Artemis, is commencing." Archive said.
Rin began to glow a sea blue color. The circle suddenly disappeared and the glowing stopped. Rin was dressed in a blue toga and a leather belt wrapped around her waist. She had braces on her wrists and ankles and each brace had a little loop on it. Several silk scarves ran through those loops, and I often wondered how she didn't trip on them. A silver bow was in her hand and there was a case of arrows on her back.
"Let's get this over with." Rin said, still glaring at the Puppet Master.
"Shin Sayakuto. Code name: The Assassin. Second stage, Windron Killer, is commencing."
Shin began to give off a blinding white light and then the magic circle disappeared. Shin was wearing a big black trench coat. The top was strapped closed but the bottom wasn't, leaving his lower torso bare. Shin had on green army pants and a black bandana was holding back all of his hair. Shin's waist coat had a variety of weapons in it. There was even a rocket launcher in there.
"Ace Wilson. Code name: The Renegade. Second stage, Renegade Phoenix, is commencing."
Ace began to glow red and his circle disappeared. When the glowing stopped Ace was dressed in black pants with red flames at the bottom. He had white bandages wrapped around his torso and he had on a black vest.
"Second stage complete. Good luck Guardians." Archive said.
"Well now that we're all dolled up, let's rumble!" Puppet Master said.
He shot his puppet strings towards us but we managed to dodge. He could make the strings hard like a pole or soft like wire. If the strings wrapped around your body he could make you into one of his puppets. And if the hard strings touched you they would go right through and out the other side. And trust me that is pain you don't want to experience.
"I'll take defense. Rin, you're going to be our sharpshooter. Ace and Shin you guys are on offense." I said.
"Roger!"
Rin jumped from the ground to one of the beams in the ceiling. Ace and Shin stood in front of the Puppet Master waiting to strike, and I teleported to the shield. We had to take down the Puppet Master but we also had to protect everyone. With a mad cackle the Puppet Master began his furious attack. Rin was shooting her arrows at him but his wires stopped them before they even got close. Shin and Ace were dodging all of his attacks but they couldn't land any hits.
"Shin switch with me. Rin try beast soul. Ace just burn everything!" I yelled.
"I never thought that you would ever say that Lucy." Ace said looking at me.
Shin and Rin nodded in agreement.
"Well I want to get this over and done with so let's move people."
"Aye sir!"
I pulled my weapon out of the magic space that I keep it in.
"Excalibur." I said staring at it." We've got work to do."
I spread my six wings and I flew over to the Puppet Master. Shin had taken the defense position and Rin was using beast soul. Beast soul was an ability that Rin had that allowed her to call upon any wild animal.
"Beast soul: Lion!" Rin shouted.
A gigantic lion appeared next to her and Rin pointed to the Puppet Master.
"Sic him." And with that the giant lion began to attack the man. I flew above the Puppet Master and I raised Excalibur over my head.
"Come forth the light of the universe and Manifest in this blade. May you come to my aid so we may strike down all those who oppose the rules of Heaven!" I chanted.
I felt celestial magic rush into the blade. I lowered my arms and I pointed the blade at the Puppet Master. I knew this going to be a hard battle and we were probably going to break some things. Master wouldn't be happy about that. I could tell that the Puppet Master had gotten a lot stronger. We would have to go all out to defeat him. The battle had only begun.
Ok! The second chapter is now complete. I have finally updated and I'm sorry it took so long. I was so busy with the holidays and stuff. Well this is my first time writing about combat scenes so if anyone has any advice on how I can improve please send me a message or put in the reviews!
