Here's the next chapter :D

Truth
Chapter 10
" This is a tag-battle that you all had been waiting for. Fairy Tail, Natsu Dragneel and Erza Scarlet versus Sabertooth's Sting Eucliffe and Mist!" Chapati announced
" This is quite a battle but...Doesn't the audience think the winner will be Erza and Natsu from Fairy Tail?" Rabian-san the guest speaker and the Leader of the Scheherazade Theatrical troupe who Team Natsu did a job before, suggested.
" Indeed, the loud cheers from the crowd are definitely for this match."
The bell rang signaling match to start.
" Hn. That hooded girl there holds a great hidden power and accompanied by the White Dragon slayer..both seems strong. Fairy Tail has indeed been the strongest in the past however, Sabertooth has been the strongest guild for 7 years. Fairy Tail has a worthy opponent." Yajima-san commented
The Match began.
Sting was in a protective stance in front of Lucy while Natsu lunged forward at Sting. " Fire Dragon's roar!"
An explosion was seen but appeared out of the smoke is an unscathed Sting, his left arm was hugging the girl to his chest and his other hand in front of him with a forcefield made of light
Giving them no rest, Erza equipped in her Armadura Fairy Armor and attacked with her Fairy Piercing Sword.
" That Armor? It's still too early!" Gajeel complained from the sidelines
" It just means that Erza thinks of them as strong and worthy opponents, Right Master Mav—Where is she?!" Master Makarov panicked
" She said she was going to the comfort room." Droy replied
Everyone was dumbfounded " Ghosts go to Comfort Rooms?" That question was the only question that even the smartest in the guild, Levy, couldn't answer.
Back to the Match.
Sting was evenly matched with Erza...NOT. He is evenly matched because he takes " Protecting Lucy" as his first priority and only second to that is " fighting with Erza and Natsu" "
" Sting...should I...?" Lucy asked worriedly
" No. I can take them! Don't underestimate " The Great Sting Eucliffe of Sabertooth."" He proudly said while attacking
-Erza's PoV-
We were pushed back. That guy is strong but...
" Natsu." I looked at him.
He nodded getting the message.
While watching the matches. It was quite obvious. Sabertooth's only weakness is the hooded Girl that has same spirits as Lucy's. Even though we did THAT, everyone in Fairy Tail feels really guilty about kicking her out. Especially me , Gray and Natsu and no matter what happens We will avenge by getting Lucy's keys back from Sabertooth.
However...
" You!" Natsu yelled " Why do you have Lucy's keys?" Flames was surrounding him.
-Lucy's PoV-
Sting instinctively jumped in front of me as if he was a potential danger just like most of the audience thought.
" Mind your own business, flame brain." I idiotically blurted out when I noticed what at had said I quickly covered my mouth with my hands.
'Flame brain...Only Fairy Tail members (and some guilds close to Fairy Tail) know that's what Gray calls Natsu'
" How do you know that?! Erza!" Natsu called signaling her.
Erza nodded. " You're strong Sting Eucliffe although...We have seen Sabertooth's weakness already!" Erza charged in her Armadura Fairy Armor and Natsu in his Lightning Flame Dragon mode.
" Unison Raid: Crimson Fairy: Exploding Lightning sword!" ( Mix of Natsu's Crimson Lotus: Exploding Lightning blade and Erza's Fairy Piercing Sword.) The attack was characterized with a swift and very sharp slice powered with flames and lightning that suddenly exploded.
The blow was really strong and a few minutes after a lot of people's jaw dropped, the bell rang.
" The winner is—"
" Wait up." Someone said, the smoke instantly disappearing. " Who said you can sound the bell when no one still won?"
" Sting! He's alive."
" As expected of a Sabertooth Mage."
" This is one hell of a match!" The people cheered
Sting was bruised and weak, probably lacking enough magic too but so was Natsu and Erza. The only one who wasn't is the mysterious hooded girl they have thought as weak just because Sabertooth is protecting her dearly.
" Sting, I can—" Mist tried to convince Sting to let her join the match because she was concerned about Sting's current health
" Blondie. What kind of Person would let their mate fight for them?"
" But you're pushing yourself too hard. If you continue you'll—"
" Second Origin release. Requip: Armor of Nakagami." Erza changed into another strong armor. " Natsu. Aim for the girl and snatch Lucy's keys" Erza ordered
The crowd 'Oohed' in response
" T-T-That is...A-A-Armor of Nakagami..." Levy's eyes widened in shock " It drains a lot of magic power and few people are able to use it but when they are able to use it...They pass the laws of Magic."
" Got it. I'm all Fired up" Natsu said as he entered Dragon force.
" Interesting. Then let me join you" Sting smirked as he also entered his Dragon Force.
" Oh, what is this?! The three mages are powering-up. What a heated battle!" The announcer said
Natsu and Erza alternately attacked while Sting defended Mist.
" ...Weakness? You thought she was our weakness?" Sting chuckled " Mist is the strongest Mage you will ever come across."
" Then why not show us her great magic?" Erza taunted
" I would." Mist defended " but..." She looked at Sting who told her not to.
" Nakagami Starlight!"' Erza said as her sword sliced through a large area, Her opponents in the middle and Everything in that area that she came across was sliced in bits.
The crowd cheered and they were about to announce the winners when the rubble in the middle moved and out of it, Mist stood up, unscathed while she unburies a terribly wounded Sting.
" Oh. Mist is left all alone. It's 2 vs 1. Will Fairy Tail finally be able to win? Or will Mist showcase her true powers."
Master Jiemma smirked "It's time to show the true power of a Tiger."
" Mist. Mist! Mist! Calm down. Sting's going to be alright. He would never leave you." Her Nakama tried comforting her
" Sting?" Mist was shaking while staring at the unconscious body. She ignored everyone around them, even her friends from the sidelines
" ...Sting? Please Don't kid me..." Tears ran down her face. "You're just pretending, right? In a minute you'll stand up and shock everyone, Ne Sting?"
Erza pointed her sword towards Mist " Stop lying to yourse—"
Lucy shook the body. " Sting...Didn't you say you wouldn't leave me?...Please stand up...Sting?"
" Are you an idiot? He's half-dead ." Natsu stupidly commented
" Sting...Sting isn't half-dead!" Mist cried " He promised he would never leave me alone. He promised that when Everyone left me alone. Right, Sting?"
Erza sighed " Look. We're just here to win the GmG and if it is possible, so we may see "her" and apologize for everything we did. Starting with giving her keys back but It seemed like you killed her." Erza said while collecting Mana into her which transformed to a scythe
" Nakagami Death Scythe!" She stabbed right through the girl
-Lucy's PoV-
I stood up. Black aura surrounding me.
" You know, I never thought I would use this in full power again..." I smiled as the supposed to be stab through my heart became a mere scratch in my left cheek and Erza had changed course on where she is supposed to be standing now.
" What?" Was the people's thoughts
" What the—? I stabbed through you, I was sure of it!" Erza said
" Mmmm..." I wiped the blood from my cheek and licked it. " Future change...have you heard of it Erza?" I removed my cloak and through it to the ground.
" Lucy...?" Erza's eyes watered.
" Lucy!" Natsu yelled
" Lucy?!" Fairy Tail cried " We're so sorry."
" Sorry? Actually, I could care less at what you did to me a year ago but...to hurt Sting...I will never forgive you." Pitch-black aura that radiates power surrounded Lucy. Her eyes were colored blood-red.
"Black Arts: Death Beam!" A dark beam of Magic strikes towards Natsu and Erza.
" Lucy! Stop. Sting wouldn't want to see you in such a state" Minerva yelled
" Sting protected you so you won't need to use that so stop...Please Lucy-chan." Yukino sobbed
The dark beam heading towards Natsu and Erza stopped and vanished. The crowd looked at Mist, or Lucy as Sabertooth and Fairy Tail had called her. She dropped on her knees beside Sting when the words of her friends got through her.
Lucy looked straight at Team Sabertooth. " Please Don't let Sting do reckless and stupid things."
" Huh?" They wondered " Why? You're here to say tha—"
They stopped speaking when they realized what spell Lucy would cast next.
" Living Magic Secret Art: Health restore. Sting's body was enveloped in light and so was Lucy's.
" Hey! That's unfair. To heal completely..." Natsu whined while being Terribly hurt
" No..." Mavis seriously said
" Huh?" The Fairy Tail members asked curiously
" That magic will restore the person casted on, his complete health even reviving the dead is possible. The one who casted it however, receives the damage 10x more. It's a miracle she's standing. However...he's coming." Mavis said as he got down to the Arena letting other people see her.
After the light has died down. Sting was left standing, healthily with Lucy trying to stay strong as possible though she had received too much damage. Her eyes returned to its original color from Blood-red to brown
As soon as Sting saw what was happening he helped Lucy stand
" I remember..." Lucy said " Don't touch me." Lucy screamed as she pushed her away from him
" Lucy..." Sting looked at her wondering what's wrong.
" I-I-I'm sorry...I don't deserve to be touched by you." Lucy looked down her bangs covering her crying eyes
" What are you saying, Lucy? After all we've been through. You telling that to me now?! Do you think your vision would have shown you the first time we would meet if I won't be there for you when you're like this?"
" That wasn't the whole truth. Everything that happened now is all a set-up by "them" " Lucy explained
"Them?" Sting said
Mavis walked near them.
" You..." Lucy's eyes widened
" I think it's the first time You saw me" Mavis smiled
" Mom..." Lucy breathed
" Eh?! bunny girl, what are you saying. Your parents are Jude and Layla Heartfilia." Gajeel yelled from the side lines
" They, The Heartfilia family had never really existed. My true name is Lucy Vermillion due to my father's surname being infamously known. My magic, Future change, which is the only one in the world allows me to have control over everything. My choice would be the future of the world."
" I, Mavis Vermillion is Lucy's mother. Well— not in this child-like ghost body of mine but...I am. Her Father is...Zeref, the dark Mage also head of the underworld. Actually, I'm sure Fairy Tail had met him in Tenroujima, he had slightly changed."
" Zeref?!" The people said in fear
" Listen, Sting." Lucy seriously said. Sting nodded.
" Weissologia, The White dragon is a member of the council of Light and so was my mom. Both of them are the only ones who has the right to be the ruler of the Kingdom of Light. However, he died and well— My mom is...technically dead. Being Weisslogia's son, you have the right to succeed the throne."
" But...if that's how it works then, you have that right, too." Sting replied
Before Lucy can say anything a dark shadow covered The Domus Flau Arena
" He's here" Lucy and Mavis said in unison.
" Zeref, is here." Crime Sorciere stared at the flying Acnologia in the sky. Readying their magic, they were about to attack when Acnologia disappeared and Zeref gracefully landed on the ground.
" As You were saying, Being Our daughter, Lucy has the right to succeed the Kingdom of Light but at the same time, The Kingdom of Darkness and what she chooses will have the advantage over the other."
" You know, Sting...I really liked the Light Kingdom and didn't really like Darkness, Dad thinks the same too. The Light Kingdom is a really cheerful place."
"Then, why don't you rule it? I don't mind giving you the throne." Sting said
" If I took that offer. No one would rule the Darkness and It will cause havoc due to having no ruler. Dad is...um..."
Zeref glared at her
" How could I say this without being hit by a certain someone.." She whispered. " Ah! Dad is only here because of a spell of Age..."
Zeref glared at her.
" ...ncy" she finished. " Anyway, I need to succeed it too. And if I take the Light Kingdom after much thought, Overwhelming light and no darkness is also bad. There must be a balance. I believe you can do it Sting."
" Don't...Lucy, I don't care about that. Just don't act as If you're leaving me"
" However, the only way I could do that is to kill you." She cried harder " I was sent here to Earthland in a body of a child, and grew up as The daughter of the Heartfilias. The visions that I had...some were true. However, the first one I got isn't a vision about fate. It was a scene that would happen if I pursued it, I actually misunderstood."
" Then you went here with the original thought of killing me?"
" ...Yes." Lucy hesitantly said " And I failed...because I can't kill you Sting. At first, I didn't notice it that I was slowly falling in love with you since the first time we met. Goodbye, Sting."
" Now, that is all cleared. Let's go, Lucy?" Zeref gave put his hand in front of him.
Lucy took it while giving a last look towards Sting and disappeared.
' Save me Sting...I really don't want this. I want to be with you.' She had finally let her tears fall, hugging her father
" Shhhh...I'm sorry Lucy but you know it' s really a part of us to sacrifice those things, right?"
She nodded. Her father very much knows how it feels because of the Forbidden love he had with her mom. They have to do this. To keep the balance of the World.
Because the Future of Light and Darkness rests upon her.
Don't hate me for making Zeref a Dad and Mavis a Mom. Don't hate me as much as I already hate myself. I love ZerCy pairings. But their roles are needed for the story.
So...Here comes the change of scene from the manga.
Don't forget to R&R
