The Unexpected Finale
Chapter 19
- Lucy's PoV-
A series of scenes with Me, my Mom and Dad replayed in my head. No scratch that—I'm in my head. It was dark except for the floating videos surrounding me ( think of Yui-chan from SAO)
I saw one from when I was still a child, My Family and I were content and happy like any normal family.
I just can't understand why he would do such a thing? Separate me and Sting...He knows how much it hurts to be torn apart from your loved one so Why?
"Lucy..." A voice called out from the blinding darkness. I followed the voice and arrived where my memories were locked up when my dad casted a spell on me.
" Lucy..." There was it again. I looked around and saw nothing. So once again I followed the voice
" Who are you and Where are you taking me?" I demanded
The voice didn't reply but it brought me to another dark place lighted up by a video floating in the middle of nowhere as if it was hidden.
I watched the video.
" Lucy..." Mavis appeared in her original form (not the ghost form, the slightly older, motherly form...you know what I mean)
" Mommy, Daddy! I saw something again. That one day Lucy will find her prince and Lucy will be happy." An Innocent little Lucy appeared wearing her cute gown (She's a princess!)
Mavis giggled " Don't say that Lucy or else your Dad is going to get jealous."
" Why?"
" Because he won't be the only man in Lucy's life anymore." Mavis answered
Zeref pouted " Let them come. No matter how many of them comes. I'll only let the worthy one be with my little Lucy even if it costs my life. Something unworthy will not be allowed."
Zeref and Sting's fight were one of the most extreme fight you will ever see. The ultimate fight between the Light and Darkness...Is what you will think if you're a simple passerby but in truth both of them are fighting for Lucy's sake
Lucy...the girl who was lying unconscious on the long vintage sofa near to the place where the two are fighting (Yeah, It's risky! But I say...Who cares? Not me. I need her there)
" That's it!" Lucy suddenly sat up. She saw the two battling
" Lucy!" Both of them had noticed her awakening although it didn't stop their fight
" Stop it you two!" Lucy yelled but nobody had listened to her and instead the two continued attacking each other
Lucy felt a nerve snap inside her " When I tell you to stop...You better STOP!"
*Boom* A very large explosion was heard in that area
~Please Stand by for a few moments~
"Ouch." Both of them complained
Lucy stood in front of Zeref with tears forming in her eyes " You're dying, aren't you?"
" What?!" Sting yelled
" What are you—"
Lucy interrupted his statement " Don't lie! I remember... THAT promise." She mumbled " ...Even if it's the last thing I do..." Lucy cried harder when she recited those words in her memory " All this time...It was all for me. You edited my memories and even made me hate you for a false reason"
" Luce, What are you saying? And Isn't he immortal?" Sting was now confused
" No...That's not true. He was struggling...Even though my Mom is just currently in her ghost form, it doesn't change the fact that she's long dead. My Dad was only waiting to fulfill his promise so he could pass on—" In quick realization, She turned to Zeref " You fulfilled it already, haven't you?"
Zeref stood and nodded
" No! Don't leave me alone! I just got my memories back...please! Don't...leave me!" Lucy cried out
" You're no longer alone Lucy. You met your prince, You have Fairy Tail and Sabertooth, This Kingdom and The Light Kingdom, You're no longer alone"
" But—"
" Sting. I think you are worthy enough for her. Make sure to treasure her or else—We'll have a nice meeting in the afterworld." He glared at Sting
" O-O-Of course." Sting stiffened at the threat
" Don't leave..."Lucy sobbed
Zeref lifted her chin up so their eyes would meet " Goodbye My Princess..." He disappeared. What was left were black roses floating in the air.
-Flashback-
" Daddy, Why do they offer flowers when someone dies?" Little Lucy asked
" It is a sign of respect for the dead and is supposed to offer comfort to the bereaved, signifying what the person meant to the giver." Zeref replied
" But still— Wouldn't it be so sad to lose someone because Lucy thinks that Lucy will be sad if Mom and Dad dies..."
" It is. What's your favorite flower Lucy?" Zeref asked out of nowhere.
Lucy was confused but decided to answer him " Roses. Why?"
" When I die. I would make it shower with Black Roses which means "endless". Where is Death, There must be life. The black roses are used to symbolize the start of new things. Your Mom and I would like you to continue on being happy even if we're not beside you. Always Remember our "endless" love for you. So you don't have to be sad anymore, okay Lucy?"
-End Flashback-
" Hai." I tried my best to keep my tears to myself. I promised I won't cry anymore..." I'm not gonna cry, I'm not going to cry, I'm not crying..." Lucy sobbed
" Idiot. You're obviously crying." Sting commented
" I told you, I'm not. So Go away for a while. I'm not in a mood to argue with you"
" Because You're Lonely." Sting explained
" Hah. Me? Lonely? Don't spout such nonsense! I am Lucy Vermillion, heir to the Darkness. I don't have time to feel lonely"
" Liar."Sting flicked a finger on her forehead
" Ouch! How dare you?!...it Hurts." Lucy said while holding the flicked part on her forehead
"Still saying that nonsense, I see." Sting said. He walked towards her and did the unexpected for Lucy. He hugged her gently. " It's okay to feel lonely. Feeling that just proves that you're human." Sting whispered
Lucy began to sob the cries she had hidden all this time
" From the time I was born till the day I die... I thought the only side I am on is my own since my important memories had been hidden. From the very start, People had done anything to get me. They believed that having me will be a sure win for them. The way they think of me is as if I was an extremely important person. The Destined Child, the daughter of Light and Darkness. A person to behold.
However, From my own focal point I was not part of the world. There was no "me" in it. I'm not the one they see. The way they truly see me is as a weapon. A weapon that alters the world's destiny. That's all I was. I never really trusted anyone until...I saw that vision. It had you in it, It was the day I was going to meet you. When I was traveling in search for you, I came across Fairy Tail.
They taught me a lot of things that Books cannot hold. Every journey that we went through is important. That's why when they kicked me out, I felt so very much hurt because the people I thought I could trust betrayed me. But...If it weren't for them then I would have never met you so I gotta thank them for that.
You, Sting had shown me the beauty of Light and the joys in it...but if choosing Darkness is what it takes to save you then I would gladly do it. My only regret is that I can't be with you. Yet, to think that you had followed me here just to take me back...and wasted time on making me fall in love with you again...You really are the world's stupidest person!" Lucy cried some more
" If being stupid is what I have to be just to get you back then I will be."
" Jeez!" Lucy wiped her tears away " You're really a fool...But I'm more a fool for loving a fool like you." Lucy smiled "Don't ever leave me, Sting."
" I won't. Especially after your dad had threatened me."
Lucy giggled. " You know, there's a saying "I will love the light for it shows me the way. Yet I will endure the darkness for it shows me the stars..." You are my Sun, Sting. You lighten up my world" "
" Then you are My Star, Lucy. In this Darkness, you're the only person that shines brightly like no other. I love you." Sting leaned in to kiss Lucy and their lips were about to touch when...
" Are you still playing those funny pick-up lines now?" Natsu appeared in the middle of them. Sting widened his eyes in shock and kicked some distance between him and Natsu " Oh God. I thought I was going to kiss Flame Brain over here." Sting breathed heavily
" Natsu!" The Fairy Tail and Sabertooth team yelled. The loudest and scariest among them all was from Erza and Minerva. " and they were so close to..." The girls glared at Natsu who was now sweating like a horse.
" Jeez! And we were so worried at what might happen but in the end...Everything's still good." Hibiki sighed and his legs giving out after the abusive use of his Archive for the plan.
" Guys, not to ruin your fun or anything... But What are we gonna do with the Games?"
" Sh*t. How could we forget about the games?! Let's go!" Gray yelled and started running but was pulled back by Erza
" Before that. Lucy!" Erza called out behind me
" Hm?" I turned around and saw 2 Demons...Uh— I mean Erza and Minerva in their really scary form.
I gulped while hugging Sting closely.
" What guild are you going to join back?" They asked in unison.
" Uh...um...you see..." Lucy nervously said then huffed " It's better to show you anyway." Lucy said as she showed her right hand where the guild mark had been placed.
On the back of her right hand, was a black and gold Sabertooth mark.
" Yes!" Minerva squealed in delight. Erza was frustrated
" Not quite..." I interrupted before something is misunderstood. " I actually chose color White for the mark to be the same as Sting's but THIS is what happened. For some unknown reason it turned into Black and Gold. I was wondering 'Why?' At first but now I understand.
That time when I joined Sabertooth. I was really frustrated and don't want to see Fairy Tail so the color of the Sabertooth mark which was placed over the Fairy Tail mark turned into a dark metallic color to cover the Fairy Tail mark but..."
Lucy closed her eyes and concentrated. She thought about the adventures she had in Fairy Tail then The Sabertooth mark on her hand had turned into a faint, almost non-visible color and what appeared shocked them all.
It was Lucy's Pink Fairy Tail mark, still in it's original form.
" Then what does that mean?"
" Um...Can I join both...you know since I have both of them and I really can't choose cause I love you all although I'm sure in the games I have to participate as a member of Sabertooth."
The Fairy Tail and Sabertooth members looked at each other, contemplating.
" Hmph. I guess Sabertooth isn't bad as I thought it would be" Gray said
" I guess for Lucy. It would be okay to let her be with some weak guild like you." Rufus agreed
A nerve appeared on Natsu and Gray's head " Forget what I said. Sabertooth is the worst."
" What did you say, Scum?!" Sting madly said
" That you're a ***** and a big fat ******* also, don't forget ******** " Natsu yelled
" You wanna go, Stripper?" Rufus stood in his attack position
" Anytime."
...And Let the Rumble Begin!
Lucy, in the background, smiled at his friend's antics while dodging Stray spells, Trees, or anything that had flew her way. She owed Sting Big time for teaching her how to dodge Large boulders
The world they live in now isn't the best but she believes in the near future Light and Darkness will become one.
Because no matter what happens. She has Sting and her new family behind her back. Whatever obstacles comes their way will be overcame. After all, The Future of Light and Darkness are in the hands of the current generation and This generation will do their best in fulfilling that dream.
But...Did you ever wonder what happened to the Grand Magic Games and after that? Well— Let's just say it turned out the way that nobody would have ever predicted. However, I won't be telling you because that is for another thing for me to write and you to read.
Well— that is actually your choice? Do you want the GmG for the ending? Or is this enough for you?
Btw, Please support my future work which will soon be released.
StiCy forever...3
