Training
Chapter 6
" Good Morning!"
" Morning." Everyone greeted as they left their tents. Oh yeah, thanks to what happened yesterday they treat me like I'm their little sister. I pouted. They just love babying me.
" Everyone gather up. Minerva said so." Rufus said
They all nodded. Then sat around the remains of the bonfire. Lucy sat beside Sting then gave him a kiss on the cheek which caused the White dragon slayer to blush faintly.
Everyone who saw that certain scene gaped at them. It wasn't everyday a guy gets a free kiss on the cheek.
" Be thankful Minerva-sama had not seen that or else you're dead Sting. Anyway, what was that for Lucy?" Yukino asked
"uh..Sorry it just became a habit when I was training with Sting." She replied
' What the hell were you two doing there?!' They all thought while they all had nosebleeds at their imaginations and they're down for a while..
Only Sting and Lucy were left ...with their consciousness, unlike the three
" Not so nervous about them not liking you anymore?" He teased
Lucy leaned her head on Sting's shoulder. She nodded. "Thank you Sting." She smiled
Her smile made Sting's heart beat fast and a faint blush was evident on his cheeks.
" D-D-Don't come near me." He said pulling his shoulder from under her head but Lucy grabbed his arm.
" Why?" Lucy asked about to cry.
Sting looked away. " Because...if you always stay near me I might like you."
Lucy looked shock at the information she heard then her expression turned into a smile " It's okay. I like Sting too." She hugged him.
Sting now blushed redder on what seemed like a confession.
Lucy continued " It's also okay that the world hates me as long as Sting is beside me"
" Lucy..." Sting cupped her cheek " I..." He was about to say when unfortunately Minerva came.
" Okay. This is the training plan, It's winner vs winner and loser vs loser. First up is singles, then by pairs. First match is Sting versus Rogue.
You two better do your warm-ups while I create a force field in the battle ground." Minerva said
Lucy stared at Sting. " Do you want to win?" She asked
" Of course although The Great Sting Eucliffe doesn't need those to win. Plus, if I depended on your power just to win then it will hurt my pride, you know?" Sting said cocky and arrogant as ever that It makes Lucy want to teach him a lesson but it is typical Sting.
" Sting, Rogue get to your positions." Minerva ordered
Sting stood up and was about to walk towards there when Lucy pulled his vest which made Sting stop in his tracks
" ...Please win" her hand was shaking which means she saw something in her visions again.
Sting had noticed this and gave her a grin. " Then If I win, how about becoming my girlfriend as a prize?" He asked loudly which everyone gaped at hearing .
' Sting, you bastard!' Minerva glared
' Say Yes! Lucy-chan, say yes!" Yukino cheered
' Sting, I swear if you hurt our little sis...You're dead.' Rufus and Orga thought while...
" Sting and Lucy sitting on a tree K-I..." Lector and Frosh sang.
Lucy blushed crimson red due to their teasing and Sting's preposition. Sting had always been there for her and he always cared about her. But... " Baka! Sting had been Lucy's and Lucy has been Sting's for a long time now!" Lucy sobbed.
" ...Not a yes or no. That's my cute little sister." Minerva laughed.
'But Nonetheless it made Sting win that dangerous match where For a moment Rogue seemed possessed by...his shadow as Lucy had foreseen
So Sting...mad at the shadow for controlling his friend blew up a crater in the battle zone and damaged the forest surrounding it.' Yukino thought
( AN: Yup. That was just a lousy excuse for me not to right that part cause I'm ReALLY tired writing Action scenes which I suck at. Sorry ;p)
"Next Match is Yukino vs Orga "
" Eeeeeh? Me?" Yukino gaped
" It's okay Yukino-chan. Do your best! You too Orga!" Lucy cheered
" Okay, Match Start!"
" Black Lightning Sphere!" Orga casted his spell
" Open the gate of the Heavenly scales, Libra!" She summoned " Libra, invert us." She ordered
Libra nodded and did as she was told causing Orga to miss Yukino.
" Open the gate of the paired fish, Pisces." 2 Yin and Yang large fishes appeared in the sky and began to attack. Orga dodged swiftly causing the fishes to tangle.
" Go back to your original forms." Yukino said. A bright light shone and the next thin we saw was a beautiful woman with black hair and fair skin and her son, a young man with dark skin and wild-looking white hair who wields a trident. Both of them lunged at Orga which turned the battle into a hand to hand combat.
" Something's not right..." Lucy mumbled
" Hm?" Sting heard her mumble thanks to his keen Dragon slayer hearing.
" Yukino won't win like that. I already saw it because I was worried that something might happen. There's...something that I can't point out that she lacks..." Lucy commented as she stared at the match.
Orga was losing the hand to hand combat so he tried to dodge but two against one is really hard.
Lucy looked at Yukino, she was just standing there...behind her spirits. Lucy's eyes widened in realization
" I got it!" She said brightly then her face grew into a dim expression " but...She'll lose."
Sting flicked his finger at Lucy's forehead
" Ouch! Annoying, stupid, Stingy bee. What did I ever do to you?" She yelled
Sting ignored her earlier remark " I thought you hated to see the future?" He asked
" But...it sometimes just pops out and—"
He interrupted her explanation " then, if you hate it. You should keep that mind. eye. closed." He said as he kept poking Lucy's forehead
" Jeez! Fine, fine."
- Lucy's PoV-
" Aaaaaah!" I suddenly heard a familiar voice. I knew it. It was like how I had foreseen it. Yukino's spirits were busy blocking Orga's 120mm Black Lightning cannon and Orga took that chance to attack defenseless Yukino with a weak, Fist of the Lightning God Slayer.
But...Even though. I didn't see it in reality because...Sting distracted me...
I smiled at the thought. Sting is really kind despite of his stupidity which gets the best of him...most of the time
" Alright, Our last battle for the day. Rufus vs Lucy." Min-chan or what Minerva said. She really begged me to call her that. Saying it was because She was my self-proclaimed Onee-chan.
" Go Lu-chan!" Min~chan cheered with a low " If you hurt her badly, I'll hunt you down" deathly warning for Rufus.
I froze. Lu-chan...Levy. Carla. Juvia. Wendy. Master...everyone in Fairy Tail. It hurts to be alone, To be said those things I don't deserve. For a long time you all were happy as usual without knowing that you were killing me in the inside. However—
Tears unconsciously rolled down my face.
" Lucy?"
" Are you okay?"
" I'll sing something to make you feel better."
" Shut the hell up Orga. You're not helping."
" I'm okay...just give me 5 minutes." I giggled while wiping my tears away. However...If you didn't do that I wouldn't be able to meet my true Nakama and Family. Especially, Sting and I sweared that when I see you again those who had hurt me, I will make you all regret it ten fold. To fulfill my promise with Sting. Now that I'm stronger I may be able to do that.
" Okay, 5 minutes are done. Start!"
I saw a vision that exact time. I would win this easily if I took it seriously but I mean no harm to a family member.
So I will fight only with the same amount of magic he has. Even if I told them my magic at the first day, they didn't seem to completely understand what it does since I didn't explain and I think the idea of me being an Earth Mage still lingers on his mind.
" Memory Make: A Night of Falling Stars" Rufus hexed. He extended his arms outward releasing light from his body and those lights took form of large beams of lightning that were flying towards me. I looked around no safe area to hide, those beams are too many! Then the answer is...Dodge!
I did an emergency dodge from 2 to 3 seconds I see them in the sky and after a few minutes I'm really exhausted from all those dodging.
" Hm...Impressive as expected of our little one had been able to dodge even one of them in my whole lifetime until now. Tell me, how did you do it?" He asked
" Cool. I never thought that deadly training of throwing boulders at me would save my life. Though...it threatened my life much more than saving it." I said slightly panting from exhaustion
" Then, mind dodging this?" he challenged " Memory Make: Shrine of Turbulent fang."
My jaw dropped " Rufus! It's training, not a fight to death! " I complained.
" Okay, it's my turn." I snatched three certain keys from my key holder.
" Open the gate of The Golden Bull, Taurus. The Gate of The Great Crab, Cancer and The Gate of The Scorpion, Scorpio" Through the efforts of my training with Sting I can now effortlessly summon celestial spirits no matter the quantity.
" We are!"
" ~ebi!"
That's Scorpio and Cancer which means...
" Nice—" I've heard the familiar voice which makes my skin crawl and made no hesitation to interrupt his statement which had been heard a hundred times already, No estimations.
" Scorpio, Cancer, Taurus. Please Lend me again your strength!"
My spirits smirked. " Of course."
I readied myself and pulled out my Fleuve d'etoiles. Here we go...
- Yukino's PoV-
Jeez! As I thought I'm still no match for them... I sighed sadly.
" It's okay. Yukino-chan was really cool for Frosch and Lector and Rogue and..." Frosch continued if it wasn't for Yukino's giggling.
" Thanks guys but..."
" Everyone had experienced that. So no need to feel bad. I think Yukino was actually pretty strong and cute at the same time." The Shadow dragon slayer who usually is very quiet, commented with a faint blush evident on his face
Yukino blushed " T-T-Thank you."
" Well— not wanting to ruin your lovely moments or any—"
" It wasn't like that!" They defended while stuttering
" Oooh..Rogue and Yukino sitti—" Sting stopped when he remembered what he was doing there for. " Oh anyway, Do you want to know why you lost?" Sting asked Yukino
" Did the mistake I made was too obvious that I'm not totally experienced and such." She stuttered and looking as if she was about to cry
" Nope." He answered which made Yukino stop stuttering " I only knew it because I usually see Lucy fighting with her spirits during training." He continued
" um...what did I do wrong?" She asked
" Look." Sting pointed at the commencing battle between Lucy and Rufus.
Lucy had just summoned three spirits in unison without damaging her health or magic.
" Scorpio, Cancer, Taurus Please lend me your strength!" Lucy said
" Of course." Her spirits replied
Lucy brought out a black rod about 6 inches long.
At the sight of that Yukino had noticed that Sting visibly paled.
" Hey Sting, Are you okay?" She asked
" Huh?...uh-huh. Though, Rufus wouldn't be. That rod is one of the most dangerous things to see Lucy with."
" Lucy-chan? How?"
" You'll see."
Taurus and Cancer attacked at the same time forming a really sharp and thin almost invisible attack if it weren't for the wind accompanying it.
'Wait no way— They're going to slice a path through that?!'
Before the attack was going to hit the turbulent fangs. A sandstorm covered the battle ground which made everyone unable to see.
When the sand disappeared nothing was left but Rufus lying on the ground, tied by a whip with jet of flowing water that is compact to the rope part of the whip which is also surrounded by flames holding the whip was Lucy and sitting on top of Rufus .
No way...the..tornados...sliced...no...It stopped. Lucy-chan is really strong and somehow seeing Rufus half-beaten up make her seem scary than how she appears to be.
I sweat dropped. Now I know why Sting is scared of that thing. Speaking of, I looked at Sting beside me he had a smile on while gazing intently at Lucy-chan.
" You see why she won?" He asked
" Uh-huh. Unlike me...Lucy-chan fights head-on with her enemies, fight with her Spirits and they really have a great relationship. I bet Rufus can't use his Forget spell because he can't memorize and forget their strong bonds, also the contract of The Master and spirit. Someday I'm going to train hard so I can get as strong or maybe stronger than her. Maybe I can even summon 10 spirits in one time." I determinedly said
" That's going to take a loooong time." Sting commented
" That's not true Sting. Yukino is—" Rogue tried to defend Yukino
" Oh. I'm not saying Yukino is weak. I'm saying it because the magic she used isn't even at the half of her total power. By the way, Lucy can summon all her spirits at the same time and with the Magic she has, quantity doesn't even matter.
Rogue and I paled at the newfound Information.. " T-T-That..wasn't even half of..."
Sting nodded " Her other Magic, Future change is something someone wouldn't want to mess up with although she refuses to use it. It just appears in visions and dreams, she usually says. "
" Sting, you're awfully smart today." Rogue commented.
" O-O-Of course he is. Sting-kun is the best!" Lector proudly said
" Frosch don't think so." Frosch commented
" Frosch!" Lector argued
" I don't know if that's a compliment or an insult..." Sting said
I giggled. I still maybe weak right now compared to others but if we all train together, I'm sure in no time we can claim Victory once again for Sabertooth in the Grand Magic Games.
...and maybe things might heat up between Lucy-chan and that idiot.
Neko-chaaaan! Have you watched K project? The anime is so cool. But...unfortunately it was a tragedy. :(
I got one of the touching lines up there from Neko. She's so cute...
• I bet you thought that Lucy would say "Yes" to Sting's preposition, huh?
Anyway, Tell me what you think and Review. It helps the creative part, you know?
#See you again on Sunday Morning! (My time). Vea-chan out
