Whoops I told everyone 2 May….but that is a Monday….my own fault. Oh well next week will be the old Tuesday, Thursday update. ^_^
I want to thank everyone for following and favoring this story. I'm glad I'm able to share this story with you guys. The funniest part is that I started writing this story at this chapter. Prologue was written far later. It feels weird to read these chapters again and changing them.
I have also changed the title, summary and picture(just a sketch…oh well)
I don't own Fairy Tail. Only this plot and the OCs.
Have fun reading, I'm sorry for all the grammar mistakes. o_o)/
Gate of the Chamaeleon, Chameleon.
A silver key spirit what has the power to camouflage people but also objects. It is weak against physical attacks and is therefore not strong in direct combat. The little spirit sits mostly on Lucy's shoulder. It has the appearances of a lizard with green scales and yellow eyes. It loves to eat insects.
Chapter 1
'Shut your mouth and fill these bags with those lacrima's!' screamed a dark mage. People cowered in fear while sitting on the ground bounded in ropes. The magic guns were pointed in their direction. Monkey looking figures were walking in and out of the building with stress on their faces. 'Guild master will kill me if we don't hurry,' shouted one of the monkeys. A Naked Mummy guild logo was showing off in his neck.
The manager of the shop was trembling in fear and sweat was dropping of his face. He knew that his shop would be empty before any help would arrive. Even the guards who should have protected the shop were laying unconsciously on the ground. He groped the bags and filled them with lacrimas, hoping that the dark mages would leave them in one piece.
Between all the tension, stress and fear was a laugh that shocked everyone. The dark mages stopped and looked up at the sudden noise. In the crowd of hostages was a woman with blond hair laughing. The dark mages were looking surprised at her reaction. It even made some of the dark mages mad.
'What's so funny!' screamed the leader and pointed his gun to the blonde haired woman.
The woman looked straight at his eyes and said: 'You really haven't changed at all in all those years.'
'Are you making fun of me. ARE YOU MAKING FUN OF ME HUUUUH!' Wrinkles were forming on his head.
'I wouldn't dare, but these guys would,' she smirked.
A lizard named chameleon undid his camouflage and sat on her shoulder. He hissed and three other spirits became visible in front of the monkey leader. Cancer sliced with his scissors the gun into tiny little pieces and looked at the blond woman. 'Lucy-ebi, you haven't called me in a long time, ebi. Want a new look, ebi?'
'Sorry Cancer. I will call you tomorrow, I promise. Now it's time for action. Aries! Use Wool wall to protect everyone. Cancer, free everyone from these ropes. Virgo punish those dark mages and chain them up!'
They nodded and started to move. Cancer was cutting down the ropes and freed the hostages. The civilians sighed in relief and ran to the exit of the building. 'I don't think so!' A couple dark mages yelled, when they saw their hostages escaping. In a blink of an eye they fired their magic gunshots at hostages. Aries placed a Wool wall and protected the civilians from the blast.
'Cancer!' pointed Lucy.
Cancer ran at the attackers and he chopped with his scissors not only into their guns, but also in the dark mage's hair. 'Ebi, Ebi, Embarrassing look, Ebi!' Hairpieces flew around in the air. The dark mages were screaming in agony of their new haircut. Their heads were almost bald with two very long hair locks in the middle of their head, that were tied up in a pink ribbon. 'Ugly,' smirked Lucy with a hand in front of her mouth. At the moment she said it, a sign with the words ugly had hit the mages in their back.
On the other side of the room was Virgo punishing the last remaining dark mages and chaining them up. Everything was finished in a couple minutes. 'Thanks everyone,' said Lucy smiling. The spirits were flashing in a golden light and went back to the Celestial realm. 'Now it is your turn. Open the gate of the Twins, Gemini.' In a golden light two blue looking creatures appeared. 'Piri piri.'
'Transform in some of these dark mage, especially this one….' Pointed Lucy to the leader of the gang '…and look for information.'
'Who are you?' asked the leader of the Naked Mummy.
The lizard spirit, who was still sitting on her shoulder was hissing at the dark mage. Lucy held up her right hand that was showing a pink Fairy Tail mark.
More sweat was dripping of his face. 'But that guild was disbanded a year ago.'
'Not anymore.'
'We got all the information what you wanted Lucy, piri piri.'
'Thanks Gemi and Mini. Then our work here is done.' After a couple seconds that Gemini went home, came the Rune Knights running inside, with Doranbolt behind them. Lucy told the situation, got many thanks from the saved people of the shop, got even a reward and left Shirotsume Town with the train.
It was begin evening when the train left the station from Shirotsume Town. She sighed and stretched her body. 'That felt great. Doing paperwork day in day out had made me cranky. Help me remind to thank Laxus for this,' said Lucy while looking at Cham. Cham looked up in his sleepy state and nodded softly. In a second he felt back to sleep.
'Yeah you're right it was busy day….or year,' said Lucy while looking outside.
It was almost a year ago that Master Makarov had disbanded Fairy Tail. Natsu had left her a note. A note! We had travelled and done so many missions together and everything she got was a note. She was devastated and angry. After the loss of Aquarius, the feeling of losing anyone else was hard to bear. She had struggled, but luckily she wasn't alone. She had her spirits with her….. So she was never really alone….. She had trained and went on missions with Yukino and the Twin, to get enough money to get around. She even got enough money to buy new silver keys. Chameleon was one of those new silver keys. His power to camouflage is very useful.
Even if she had done missions with Yukino and the Twin slayers, she never had the urge to join another guild. Fairy Tail was her home, her family. She was always hoping that her guild would return, but she was scared at the same time….It is still scary. In the end, with the help of Laxus, they managed to start Fairy Tail again, a couple months ago. The number of members are still small but it had brought a smile on her face.
The train was slowing down. 'Ladies and Gentlemen the finale stop will be Magnolia. Don't forget before leaving the train, your belongings. I want to thank you for traveling with us today and I wish you a nice evening.' The train stopped and people were walking out of the train. Lucy followed the crowd with her bag and with Cham on her shoulder and looked up when she left the train station. Memories….It's so weird to walk here. It have changed so much. It took a couple months before Magnolia was rebuilt again, after the destruction of Tartaros. Even her apartment that was destroyed that time, had been rebuilt. She wasn't sure if it was luck but her room had been empty for just a month. So Lucy had decided to hire it again.
Lucy looked up and sighed. The old familiar road. She grabbed a silver key and summoned Plue to keep her company while walking to the guildhall. Even on this time, she knew that the guildhall wouldn't be empty. Chameleon jumped down from her shoulder and hissed happily at Plue. Lucy laughed when her little spirits were making funny faces between their conversation. She flinched back, when her head was throbbing. She doesn't know why, but her headaches were coming more often. Plue and Chameleon looked at her with a concern face. 'I'm ok, just a little headache.' Plue kept looking at her with a concerned look on his face. 'I'm really ok,' said Lucy while pulling Plue in a hug. Cham jumped back on her shoulder and looked at Plue. They simply nodded, knowing how stubborn their master is. Plue turned around and saw the familiar wooden doors. 'Plue plue,' said Plue while pointing in front of him. Lucy looked up and a bright smile was crossing her face. She opened the doors and blinked a few times by the sudden light. When her eyes were finally accustomed, she could finally recognise some familiar faces. 'Hi minna.'
Everyone looked up at Lucy and greeted her back. She saw Mira getting beer for Macao and Wakaba while Cana had almost finished her fifth barrel. Lastly she saw Elfman talking to his little sister Lisanna and the black exceed Pantherlily, probably about something manly. Lucy walked to the bar and waited for Mira to finish.
'Hi Lucy, how did your mission go?' asked Mira with a smile.
'It went great Mira. It was finished quickly. Do you know if Laxus is still here…sorry Master Laxus. It's still hard to call him Master.'
Mira giggled softly and nodded. 'He doesn't really care how you call him. He is still in his office. Can you bring his scotch with you? He had ordered it a couple minutes ago?'
'Sure no problem. Do you have a lollipop for Plue and a cup of insects for Chameleon?'
'Sure.'
'Thanks.' Lucy placed Plue gently on the bar, while Cham jumped next to him. She waved at them, grabbed the scotch and walked to Laxus office. She knocked on the door and waited for a respond. 'Come in, Blondie,' said Laxus.
Lucy opened the door and saw Gajeel standing in the corner. She putted down his scotch on his office and went sitting in a chair in front of Laxus. 'What did you discover?' asked Laxus while still looking at his paperwork.
'Gemini has copied and searched the members of the dark guild Naked Mummy. They had the mission to get around 500 lacrima's before tomorrow. Only the leader of that group had seen the man through a communication lacrima. He has brown hair and green eyes. He has a scar on his lips were you could see his teeth's through. The man was standing near the Worth Woodsea when he was talking through the communication lacrima.'
'The Worth Woodsea? The place where Nirvana had been sealed?' asked Gajeel.
Lucy nodded. Gajeel growled slightly, what pulled the attention from the other two mages to him. 'This is only a guess, so don't think bloody much about it. A floating council prison, named Nightcrawler will be flying above the Worth Woodsea in a week from now on. The most screwed up guys are prisoned there. I think they are building a weapon.'
Laxus glared at him, while being in deep thought.
'It's a guess….I will look for scar face and discover what they are really after. Bunny-girl do you know the lacrima dumping place?
Lucy nodded and reached out a small note. 'Everything what you need is standing on that note.'
Laxus glance to Gajeel. 'You know what to do, be careful scrapface,' said Laxus.
Gajeel grabs the note and grinned. 'I'm always careful, sparky gihi.'
'Don't forget to tell Lily, he was pissed the previous time,' said Lucy.
Gajeel simple waved and walked out of Laxus office.
Lucy sighed and looked at her own little desk, what was lying full with paper work and more since she returned from her day off.
'I had suspected a larger pile,' said Lucy sarcastically
'I'm sorry to disappoint you. How was your "day off to get some fresh air to clear your mind of the nauseous faults in Fairy Tail's history bookmarks"?'
Lucy laughed sheepishly. 'It was great, thank you. I just couldn't believe how Fairy Tail was able to survive this long, with so many mistakes in their bookmarks.'
'I think we can thank Doranbolt and Yajima for that.'
'Yeah you're right... Laxus? If it's ok with you, I like to go home and start freshly tomorrow,' said Lucy while holding back a yawn. This day was refreshing in comparison with sitting day in day out in front of a desk, but it was a long day. Getting out of bed early, traffeling, disguising as a customer, waiting for an possible attack and lastly defeating the threat.
'Wait one moment, Blondie,' said Laxus with concern in his voice. She looked at him with one of her eyebrow up. 'You know that the grand magic games finals will be starting tomorrow and Doranbolt had informed me today about the appearances of Natsu and Happy near Crocus. If you don't want to face him, I can understand that, but I have a feeling he will make a ruckus. I can always sent someone else over.'
A silence occurred in the room. Lucy sighed and walked to the door. 'It's for the guild right...I will pick him up.'
'Are you sure?'
'Don't worry about it, we both knew he would come to the surface, eventually.'
Lucy grabs her head and felt a throbbing pain. She saw Laxus watching. She smiled slightly and said: 'Just a headache.'
Laxus frowned but let it slide. 'Good night, Blondie.'
'Good night.'
When Lucy had left the office, came the ghost of the first master in sight. 'Master Laxus, have you also felt the sudden change in her magic?' Asked Mavis with concern on her face.
'I felt it slightly but what do you suspect in her situation.' Laxus shrugged and went back to his paperwork.
'I don't think her emotions are the cause of this, I have felt this sudden change in her magic more often then only this evening. Do you know if she had been in contact recently with any sort of magic source?'
Laxus stiffened at those words and sighed. It was good to be true. 'A month ago we helped on an emergency call from her silver Celestial friend, there was an energy source she had to shut down. The energy source was a demonic hell core and she managed to empty it, but had trouble controlling the raw magic inside of her body. She had laid in the hospital for a week. Doctors didn't know what was wrong, her condition was pretty bad and suddenly the next day she was all better without any good explanation.'
Mavis pondered 'Keep an eye out for her. If her magic keep expanding drastically, then her life could be in danger.' Mavis disappeared. Laxus gnashed his teeth and kept staring at his paperwork. Tch more problems. He saw the scotch on his office and took a sip. First the weird activities of the dark guilds. Second the Flamebrain appearances and now Blondie energy spikes. Old man where did you go? The Thunder God tribe hasn't found any clues at all of jiji's whereabouts.
Lucy walked off the stairs and felt sorry for Pantherlily. The little black exceed was sitting at the bar near Lisanna and Elfman, drinking kiwijuice. At the look in his eyes, Lucy could tell that Gajeel had told him. It wasn't because of danger that Gajeel have left Pantherlily behind, it was more that these kind of spionage missions could be very cruel to see or could tiant the mind. You get to know the evil/cruel sides of people, you prefer don't want to know. Lucy knows that side...or better said, Gemini knows that side. In all those years Gemini have served as a spirit, they had seen the most interesting, most cruel, most hatefull or even funniest memories. Instead of being drowed by the most cruel memories possible, they have found a way to learn from it and to accept it. There excist so many diffrent people in this world, evil ones, good ones...as a spirit you have almost no control who will get your key. Lucy knows how glad Gemini is with her as their master. She knows all her spirit are. Her spirits aren't tools to be used, but living creatures she saw as her friends. It doesn't matter if Gemini had no trouble coping even the most twisted person there is, Lucy would refuse it. Pretending the most bloodiest memorie from someone else in your own head, was suffocating. No one deserves that! Lucy looked up when she felt a little paw on her arm and she saw Plue looking in her eyes from the bar. Lucy smiled. 'It's time to go home. Sorry Mira, got work tomorrow, so I'm going home,' said Lucy while grabbed Plue and Cham from the bar. She waved everyone farewell and went home.
In her apartment she took a shower. In the shower she could feel her headache ebbing away and she could finally relax. After drying herself and dressing up in her pajamas. She went to bed and asked Horologium to wake her up at 6 a.m. She was curious for tomorrow, but could also feel a little bit of rage inside of her. Natsu had finally showed up, so a year has passed. She had tried to track him down a year ago but all her clues ended in a dead end. An old nostalgias feeling was crossing her chest. Could everything return like it used to be? She looked outside and saw the stars from her bed. A sad feeling went up. No not everything would be the same. Not until she could get Aquarius back. She need to work on her spell again. I won't give up. She had tears in her eyes. Her snowman and lizard spirits crawled against her, trying to comfort her. Lucy felt the heat of her spirits and felt a sleep.
Next chapter will be at the grand magic games. Natsu is finally back. This chapter felt like BOOM this is it, deal with it... let's see if I get the other chapters a little longer and more like my taste. Next update will be probably Wednesday. I'm unable to update on Thursday, with no internet and everything.
