Celestial Body - Chapter 24
Silence…loneliness…hurt…that were the only good words that could describing how Lucy was feeling right now. Everything was a lie. It couldn't be real...it didn't even feel real. From the moment she was little she had always heard the voices of her spirits. Like they were here… close by…
Now…now there was nothing. No light that was giving her the comfort she was longing for. No encouraging words. No wall to protect her anymore from Flemeth or…against herself. How many of her friends had she lost? She doesn't know. Her spirits…her friends…they were gone. The contract she had with them was ripped into pieces and thrown into the fire. Like it was nothing. The pain she had felt…oh the pain… it felt like parts of her body had been shredded from her body. Over and over and over again. Until the pain had dulled her senses. With every contract, with every scream...she had lost parts of herself.
She already had once lost fate in the promises of her friends. Not sure if she could trust them ever again, but in the months that Fairy Tail had been rebuild she slowly wanted to trust them once more, but now…now that she knew it was even possible to break a contract that had been written by the stars… What is mustache man even doing? Was this even allowed?
Lucy had been angry in her life. The feeling of anger about her own weaknesses. The feeling of anger when she had failed her friends. Anger by the lack of consideration of her family towards her, when everyone had just simply left her after the disbanding. Furiousness for Natsu to leave like everyone else….but in his case not a goodbye in person but a goodbye on a single note. Anger for everything! The opponents that had tormented her. The enemies that had hurt her friends. The moment she couldn't be there when her farther needed her the most. There were so many moments she had felt anger….even towards Laxus, but like him, like Natsu she could forgive everyone in a curtained amount of time. People can change, that is what she believed in. The wish that her farther would change, had happened…Gajeel, Juvia, Jellal…so many names. So many people had changed. She could forgive them…but she couldn't forgive Flemeth. She couldn't forgive the woman who had ripped her spirits away from her. She couldn't forgive her for the pain she had brought towards the people who were close to her. Lucy didn't knew her, but she knew Zero. She had seen him sitting in front of her while she was screaming in pain. Smiling like a madmen. Like her pain was the most exciting and the most wonderful thing in the world. The first moment that Lucy had met Zero, was when she had to fight him. She knew this man was pure darkness. It was the first moment that she really had felt fear in her whole life. Nothing was controlling him. This was the real him. He had an aura that was yelling danger. Fairy Tail had defeated him and now he sat before her once more. It felt like she was reliving that fight all over again. Lucy knew she couldn't forgive Flemeth, because she was the same as him. She had the same wicked aura and when their eyes met… Lucy could feel the same unpleasant emotion caused by the threat of danger, fear.
Next to Zero and Flemeth was there one more person she had never forgiven in all those years…it was herself. She had been saved many times…Her friends took revenge for her…People had died for her. The most tortured moment was her future-self dying in her arms. From that moment Lucy knew she needed to train and training she did, but after a year of training…Lucy couldn't stop Flemeth from breaking her contracts. She couldn't protect the ones who were dear to her. She knew she was feeling greedy, but she wanted to be strong. She wanted to hug Plue, knowing that she wasn't alone. Punch Loke when he wants to kiss her. Smile sheepishly when Virgo ask for punishment. Giving Aries courage when she says sorry too many times. Feel embarrassed when Taurus talks about her hot body and feel even more embarrassed when Capricorn tells her that she had gained weight. Feel relaxed when Cancer is brushing her hair. Play games with Gemini. Hear Scorpio talking endlessly about his date with Aquarius…Aquarius…Lucy wanted to see her above everything else. Knowing she would scold her for interfering her date with her boyfriend.
Now no spirit would come to her aid. The last memory she could remember, was Laxus trying to kill her…no…no not Laxus, but the woman controlling him. The woman called Flemeth. She want to Lucy-kick the Mind Mage for controlling him. Darkness had claimed her, before she could do anything. The next memory that Lucy could recall was from the prison and from the torture…being stripped away from her spirits. Flemeth kissing her on her lips and then butterflies...? Butterflies and chains…?
Everything is a dream. Everything is a lie, it has to be! This can't be real! Give back my friends! GIVE BACK MY FAMILY!
The Celestial Mage opened her eyes. Darkness was around her and she could feel how her body was bounded in chains. It was real…it was no lie…Tears were falling from her cheeks until her eyes widened from recognition. This feeling…this feeling felt so familiar. It felt the same as when she was body-linked with the Infinity Clock. So this wasn't the real world she was seeing. She was stuck somewhere inside, but where? A new determination became visible in her eyes. It didn't matter what happens to her! She wanted her spirits, her friends back! There was no time to cry, she needed to know something…She started to look around. Every little information was welcome. Where was she? Where were her spirits? Where was Laxus?
Lucy was trying to concentrate on her surroundings and could finally hear a heartbeat. Blood being pumped through the veins inside a person. The sound of the doors from the heart-chambers opening and closing were slower than from her own heartbeat. Lucy concentrated further and could feel a heat source radiating from that person. It was warmer than the temperature of a normal human being, but it was colder than the heat of Natsu. The magic passing through the person's veins was made out of electricity. A storm…Laxus. It was hard to describe, but Lucy could feel Laxus nearby. She couldn't see him or touch him, but she was 100% sure Laxus was nearby. Lucy followed the veins upwards and could feel the air passing his throat and she finally stopped when words were bouncing in her ears.
'That woman,' said a voice she could recognize as the man she loved. So much venom in those words. So much hatred. Lucy opens her eyes tried to look around, but again nothing but darkness. Why could she feel his anger, hear the venom in his words, hear his heartbeat rising up like he was standing next to her? Like he was…a spirit.
"Her contract." Thought Lucy when she was placing all the pieces together, but it was even more than just the contract. It was a bond…a bond she had known and had feared. It was the same bond she had with Natsu in the past. A bond of trust. A bond that could tell her that Natsu would save her, would protect her no matter what. That trust, that bond had been slowly cut off when Natsu had left her a year ago. Now again she had finally found someone she could trust. Knowing that he would be there for her if she needed him and knowing that he would let her fight her own fights if she wants it to. He would safe her and she wanted to safe him. Lucy's thoughts were interrupted when a different voice had entered her ears.
'You have the same eyes as him,' said a woman's voice.
Lucy's eyes widened. "Was that Flemeth?' she thought when multiple emotions from Laxus was reaching her own core.
'Your father I mean. The same hatred. He was such a lovely man. So eager for power. Good amount of knowledge in his head. But on the downside. He was such a coward... A shame if you ask me... But from that cowardness, came you. The power he wanted. The power that I gave him. He had planted it inside you,' said Flemeth.
Lucy could feel the mixture of emotions radiating from Laxus. Anger, confusion, hatred and …fear. She finally started to realize the meaning behind Flemeth's words. The source of Laxus's power. The source of him being a Dragon Slayer, was not only because of his farther, but also because of Flemeth! Lucy wanted to be with Laxus now, want to hold his hand. Give him strength! She started to think. Her spirits always came to her when they felt her distress, maybe she could do the same for him… Lucy concentrated on those emotions, his heartbeat and the heat that was radiating from his soul and noticed her own body was moving out of the chains. She looked down and noticed that her body was made out of light, while there was another Lucy before her still trapped in those chains. Not responding to anything with her eyes closed like she was asleep. Lucy didn't wanted to understand what was going on. Right now she could move on her own free will and that's what count. The body in form of light felt so light and so pure. It remembered her about her mother who had shown up in her dreams in the same light. A slight smile was crossing her lips, while she kept a hold on her concentration. She could feel a slim pull in what she thought was Laxus's direction and without any hesitation, flew Lucy straight through the darkness, unafraid of the unknown.
After a moment that had felt like seconds was the light getting stronger than the darkness around her. A screen emitting light, was shining its brilliance over the two figures, that had been standing very close to each other. Lucy recognized the two figures as Flemeth and Laxus.
'But now I can see you as a masterpiece. My… Piece...' Could Lucy hear echoing in the distance while the gap between Flemeth's and Laxus's lips were getting shorter and shorter with every word the Mind Mage had said.
Anger took control of Lucy when she was understanding what Flemeth actually wanted to do. "Get away from him!" She screamed in her head while rushing towards them.
'…Of… Art..,' followed Flemeth. At the moment when her last word had come out of her mouth, was the same moment when Lucy's body had pushed the Mind Mage away with all the force she could gather. The Maiden of the Stars saw how Flemeth landed on the floor a couple meters away from them. She sighed in relieve, knowing that she somehow had made it in time. Rage was visible on Flemeth's face, but that changed fast when her eyes were locked on the source that had pushed her away.
'You two keep surprising me! Wonderful! THIS IS SO WONDEFUL!'
Lucy couldn't care that the Mind Mage had recognized her. That woman had stripped her from the friends she had, in no hell was she going to take Laxus away as well. Lucy looked around her and noticed that Laxus was in the same position as her other body. Chained up in a room filled with darkness. The only difference was the dragon in the cage left of him and an image screen in front of them. She had paid no attention to those things and turned around checking if Laxus was alright. Scales were visible on his skin and she noticed how his nostrils had started to move since the start of her presence. Laxus started to relax and Lucy sighed in relief. She placed her hand on the scales of his arms and noticed how the scales were getting softer under her touch. She tracked down her finger from his arm to his shoulder until her hand was touching his cheek. All the emotions she had been radiating from him, were fading away and all the scales had disappeared with them. Lucy retreated her hand and turned around. She stared back at Flemeth, observing her every move and Lucy gave a short glance at the screen right in front of her. Her eyes widened when her eyes recognized the scenario that was displayed on the screen. A person she could identify as herself was lying in a room on a surgery table…It was her real body! Her mind started to panic and she could feel how the body on the screen was trying to pull her back in. Her vision started to become blurry from the moment her control and concentration had started to slip.
Lucy opened her eyes, she was back in the darkness, back in those chains… Slowly she knotted the puzzle pieces together. Her body, she had seen on the screen, while standing next to Laxus, was 100% sure her real body. Though, multiple options came to her mind about her situation.
Their opponent was a mage who could control a person. A Mind Mage… What happens with the mind of the victim while she was controlling the body? Apparently they get locked up, but where? In their own bodies or somewhere else? She couldn't conclude anything 100% for sure. The screen almost looked like they were looking at a room from the perspective of Laxus. Furthermore was her surrounding filled with darkness, no screen to be seen, probably because her body is unconscious…
If the mind of the victim is locked away in its body, how can Flemeth control the puppets while staying in her own body. Lucy looked up, when she noticed a slight disturbance in the chain. It wasn't really clear but there was a small purple light on one of the chain, that light had the form of a butterfly. A butterfly! She had seen butterflies before she had lost conscious. So let's assume the butterflies follows Flemeth's command and take control of the victim's bodies…then just like every mage there has to be a limit how many minions in her case butterflies she can create and control.
Lucy's thoughts were interrupted and her eyes widened with fear, when she felt a familiar magical pressure moving closer towards her. Zero…That madman was close by…Her body was unconscious and no one could tell what he would do to her. Zero loved screams from his victims and as long as her body stays unconscious, she would be unable to scream. Lucy kept saying that line over and over again in her head, convincing herself that her body was safe. The silence in the darkness was slowing getting filled by weird sounds. Laxus's voice had been clear, but it was impossible to knot the sounds together into words for what she was hearing now. She couldn't tell much, but felt relieved when she notice how the magical pressure from Zero was getting further and further away from her. Zero had left the room.
Lucy looked up when she noticed how the butterfly was started to get active. The wings were flapping up and down and purple light flew from the butterfly towards its surrounding. Slowly a rectangle made out of light was growing bigger in front of the bounded Celestial Mage. Lucy tried to block the sudden light and blinked a couple times with her eyes until they had started to adapt. In some way it was pleasant that she could finally see something, but it also meant that her real body had started to wake up. She looked at the screen with fear in her eyes, when she noticed the two figures standing next to the surgery table. Flemeth smiling wickedly, while next to her was standing Laxus, with no light to be seen in his eyes.
She saw how the screen was moving in perspective over her real body. Lucy had suspected wounds from the pain she had felt, but her eye was falling on the dark orb between her breasts. The unconscious state had dulled the pain from her body, but now that she had started to wake up, she could feel how her body was started to scream from the pain and flinched back.
'You need some healing don't you?' asked Flemeth while holding out a ring with five keys towards her. Lucy noticed how the screen was getting focused on the keys. Five golden Zodiac keys were now in her hands, but she couldn't feel anything. There was no response, no sign if they were alright…
'Don't worry. Your healer will be here soon,' said Flemeth.
The door opened and Lucy recognized the two mages walking into the room. Sherria from Lamia Scale and Tyler another Mind Mage she had encountered not so long ago. Sherria had started to heal her and Lucy could feel the strain on her body getting less. In parts she started to understand how strongly linked the mind and the body were. Flemeth needed the mind of its victim. Without it the body would stop to exist. It was the same with yin and yang. Darkness couldn't exist without light and light couldn't exist without the darkness. They were connected.
From the chamber in her mind she started to observe what was going on, on the screen. Lucy started to notice the light that was missing in Sherria's and Tyler's eyes. She was surprised that even Tyler was under Flemeth's control. A Mind Mage got controlled by a Mind Mage… She started to look between Tyler and Flemeth and started to realize the resemblances. They had the same eyes, the same hair, the same nose…
Lucy was trying to get her anger under control. That woman was the same as her father. Her father wanted to use her for his own gain. He saw her as a mere object to expand his business. Flemeth did the same, she was controlling and using her own son for her own gain…
The familiar light on the screen made Lucy smile for a second until she also noticed that the spirit that was standing in front of her real body wasn't her spirit. Light in Virgo's eyes were out and even if she could feel the Celestial Magic radiating from the spirit, there was no personality, no warmth…no life visible to be seen. Lucy's eyes went to Laxus that was blurry because it was on the edge of the screen. Magic was radiating from its body and Lucy got confused.
"What is Laxus doing?" She wasn't the only one that had noticed the sudden change in the magical pressure.
'NO!' Screamed Flemeth and Lucy saw how a purple light went from the Mind Mage towards Laxus's body. Flemeth physical body had stopped moving, while Sherria was still trying to heal Lucy's wounds, not stopping for a second on the job that had to been given to her. The mind is connected to the body, but to control the victims, Flemeth needed to split her mind. Every puppet she was controlling had a slight part of her mind…of her soul. So if Laxus was able to defeat Flemeth's mind right here right now, then Flemeth needed to give up one of her minions so that her body would survive…
Lucy started to calculate. The total of amount of minions who are now under Flemeth's control as far as she can see is ten. Five for her spirits, herself, Sherria, Tyler, Laxus and Flemeth's own body. She needed to control her spirits separately, not only because of the strong bond between the owner and the spirit, but also because of the bond between the spirits. Loke had felt the distress from Aries when Karen had beaten her up very badly. Loke came to save Aries on its own power.
Flemeth had found a way to break that bond and to prevent for the bond to merge again, she needed to control the spirits separately. Five spirits were under her control, while the other spirits are locked away somewhere where Lucy couldn't find them or feel them.
To defeat Flemeth, they needed to defeat her mind ten times or even more… "That's impossible." Thought Lucy while feeling how her fighting spirit was about to slip… "Knocking down her real body…? Her mind and body are linked. The pain is linked!"
She got proof of that because hell her real body was sending her pain right now. If someone could fight her in the mind, then others needed to damage her real body. The pain will connect and makes it difficult for Flemeth to fight back, but the only people she had in mind that could fight against her Mind Control Magic were Bickslow and Yukino…
Lucy looked at Laxus…something in Laxus's mind had triggered Flemeth to fight him. So out of the magical part a mage can train its mind…Maybe Bickslow can see which mind could go against Flemeth and which couldn't? Slowly but logically a plan was starting to form in her head, but she knew she couldn't defeat Flemeth on her own or with only Laxus's help. What should she do? Laxus was fighting Flemeth at the moment, the chance is really low for Laxus to succeed, but I want to believe in him that he can defeat Flemeth...Wait...what happens if Flemeth kills Laxus in the Mind Realm? His mind isn't split up like Flemeth's mind…he would die because the body can't exist without its mind. Lucy was started to panic. Laxus was fighting for control and if he lose… if Flemeth chose to kill him…
She started to concentrate on Laxus's heartbeat, on his emotions and she could feel how her body was getting lighter. She looked down noticing that she was back in her light form. It went more smoother now then the first time. Once more she followed the path towards Laxus's body and gasped when she saw the fight in front of her.
Laxus was trapped in sand that had pulled up in the middle of a huge purple circle. A part of the sand had the form of Tyler's head. Lucy fear became reality when she noticed the magical pressure. Flemeth was ready to kill Laxus and her son in one shot!
"NO!" Lucy screamed in her mind, but it was too late. The magical arrow had already been released and she would not be able to reach him in time.
She stood there for a second looking at the display before her, unable to breath. She looked to her right looking at the dragon when she noticed the chance in magical pressure. A deep rough voice had reached her ears. – Don't die on me, human. –
The magical powers of the dragon was pumped into Laxus. Lucy could feel a small light of hope and looked back at the Dragon Slayer she wanted to believe in.
'DON'T FUCKING UNDERESTIMATE ME OLD HAG!' Roared Laxus with all his rage.
His magical aura had changed from a human into in a red yellow dragon, who was roaring at Flemeth. The magic collided and a huge explosion had followed it. Flemeth was pushed back by the explosion and screamed when electricity in the air was shocking her multiple times.
Silence was filling the room. Dust and sand had filled the air. On one side laid Flemeth on the ground with wounds all over her body and blood leaking out of her nose, while on the other side laid an unconscious Laxus on the ground. The scales on his skin had started to grumble. He had only some superficial wounds, the only deep wound was the one on his side. Tyler had the most injuries. His right arm and legs were completely gone while blood was coming out of his nose and ears. The butterfly who was still sticking in his neck had detached itself and flew with a broken wing towards his master. It landed on Flemeth's head merged with her body.
- So he has lost. – could Lucy hear coming from the dragon. Lucy felt no killer instinct radiating from Flemeth, what made her sighed in relieve. She hid her body behind the cage and the dragon, trying to keep herself out of sight of Flemeth.
The Mind Mage opened her eyes and looked around her. The insanity in her eyes were gone and was replaced with victory and confident. She looked at Tyler and Laxus on the other side and pushed with all the strength she got, herself up. She walked towards them with her right leg half lingering on the ground. With a simple wave of her hand, was Tyler send back to the real world. She saw how Laxus chest was going up and down.
'You bastard…You will never see the light ever again. You will sleep for eternity until you have my permission to die!' yelled Flemeth tiredly.
She concentrated her magic and formed a new butterfly from her hand. The butterfly flew towards Laxus's neck. The bug attached itself on the neck and chains came out of the ground, binding Laxus and hung him back in the air. The butterfly in the neck released his sand and Laxus breathing was getting slower.
"Sand…She is the Sandman." Thought Lucy. She flinched back when she noticed Flemeth looking at her direction, holding her breath until she was sure Flemeth's eyes were more directed to the dragon then towards her.
'I'm not done with you. I will come back later, after I have killed some Fairies,' said Flemeth with much venom in her words.
The dragon didn't responded and saw Flemeth disappearing.
The dragon looked at Laxus who was hanging unconsciously next to him with a butterfly stuck in his neck. The dragon started to laugh softly. Lucy looked up confused by that sound and saw how the dragon were looking at some big seeds behind him. The seeds had the same feeling as Acnologia! The delight smile on the dragon's lips were not the same as the worried look in his eyes. Did this dragon wanted to make another Acnologia? After the fight with Tartaros, it didn't surprised her that there was a Dragon in Laxus's body. Natsu, Wendy and Gajeel had also their parents dragon in their body…but because Laxus Dragon Slayer was artificial…she can understand that Laxus's case can be a little bit different.
'Is that really what you want?' asked Lucy towards the dragon.
- What I want is my business, star girl.-
Lucy didn't believed him. In all the people she had come across as a heiress, was this dragon the worst in keeping a mask up.
'You were maybe lying to Laxus, but you are lying the most towards yourself.'
- What do you know! I hate humans, you beings should crumble under my power. I will kill you when I'm out of here! –
'Then why did you safe him?' asked Lucy confused. She had seen the moment when this dragon had given power to Laxus, when Flemeth wanted to kill him and she was grateful for that!
She noticed the confusion on the dragon face. This was a good sign, she needed to push further.
'You care about him, don't you?'
His eyes became soft by that question, but his face turned into rage a moment later.
- GET OUT! – screamed the dragon while red lightning was charging towards Lucy. - You don't know anything about me! –
Lucy felt her body being split apart and darkness had consumed her.
She opened her eyes and saw she was back in the chains again. She couldn't understand the dragon. He had his own conflict and his own past for the decision he had made today. He hates human…but on the same time he had saved Laxus. She slowly came to realize how close it had been today. Laxus could have been dead… A cold chill was crawling around her spine by that thought. The words that Flemeth had said before her disappearance came to her later…
"Fairies! My Nakama!" She looked at the screen and saw Flemeth looking at her with an exhausted angry face.
'Enemies are walking to our doorsteps. Kill them! And don't stand in Zero his way!' she almost yelled.
Lucy noticed how the butterfly in her mind was reacting to the command and she saw herself and Laxus were running in the hallway.
"No…Please…Please stop…" Lucy needed to calm down. She knew that, but her emotions got the better of her. She pulled on the chains as hard as she could. The chains didn't budge, but that didn't stopped her for trying.
On the screen she could see that they had exited the building. Laxus was holding her hand and they both teleported with Lightning Speed in the air.
The butterfly in her mind above her made a small sound and a purple magic circle came visible above the screen. The magic circle gave another image, but it was slightly different. The view was higher and more sharper. Lucy could see on the screen the slightest of movement in the forest. The image zoomed in on that and Lucy recognized Gray, Juvia, Evergreen and Elfman running through the forest… Lucy followed the images closely and saw how she had opened one of her Heaven's Gate. This was bad… really bad. The image she was seeing right now was not only from her own perspective but also from Laxus's perspective. That means that the butterflies were linked to each other. Flemeth had in this way full sight and control over the battlefield! An extra pair of eyes could make Fairy Tail's attacks less efficient, but it can also take a lot out of the Mind Mage and after that fight with Laxus… Lucy was hoping that the exhaustion would give her Nakama a chance of defeating them. Fairy Tail needed to catch her and Laxus or make them somehow unable to fight, by for example hitting them unconscious…before they has started to kill their own family…
Heaven's Gate portal had opened, just before her friends in the middle of the forest and Lucy saw how the group had stopped their movements, looking at them with multiple emotions. No one had ever wanted this fight to start, no one wanted to hurt one or another. Lucy would have never considerate to fight her guild mates…but she wasn't the one in control. It was Flemeth and she didn't care if the fairies would die or not. Lucy had seen that in Laxus's mind.
'Oh no, Master Laxus-sama,' said Evergreen in unbelieve.
'Lucy,' said Gray in a whisper with half determination.
"Please run!" screamed Lucy in her mind. Her voice wasn't reaching them. Tears were leaking form her eyes. In no way did she wanted to see this…in no way did she let Flemeth have her way. Lucy started to pull harder on the chains. The chains started to light up and Lucy felt pain going to her body. This pain was nothing in comparison what Flemeth had done to her. She kept pulling and she could feel magic emerging from her body. The butterfly responded on that and spread a little sand above her head.
On the outside it felt like a moment of silence. Lucy and Laxus both with no light in their eyes were staring with a smirk on their face at them. Gray held up his left arm and his ice magic was shot in the air. The magic exploded and was clearly visible in the air for anyone near them.
"Please Gray, Juvia…Run. Please…run…" though Lucy when everything in front of her became dark.
Freed looked up noticing the signal and start running in the flare's direction. His teeth were gnashing on each other. The form of the flare could only mean one thing. What they had feared became true. Master Laxus-sama and Lucy-sama were under Flemeth's spell and now they were forced to fight against them. He pushed his emotions away and knew that half-linked attack would only harm them more. They needed to finish this quickly.
'You know the plan. Separation is for utmost important. Capture or disarm them, before they can kill anyone.'
Erza nodded, while already been equipped in her Lightning Empress Armor. Leoric and Sebastian following them closely.
Another group made out of Mirajane, Bickslow and Doranbolt had stopped in their tracks.
'Bickslow have you found their base yet?' asked Doranbolt.
Bickslow waited for his babies to respond but shook in disappointment. He had send his babies ahead to search the area. They hadn't been spotted by the enemy yet, but the chance was getting bigger now that the enemy was getting closer.
Doranbolt looked at Mirajane.
'Don't worry…they haven't found us either,' said Mirajane with a soft smile.
Doranbolt wouldn't lie, but it took some time for him to accept the appearance of Mirajane. Satan Soul: Mirajane Seilah. Seilah a demon from the guild Tartaros…The appearance are too similar. Two large gold-looking horns were sticking out of Mirajane's side of her head and were pointing upwards. Her hair was long and black with her signature upwards ponytail. She wore a white band on her head that was separating her hair. On the forehead was a small circular symbol visible with small dots in the circle. Her clothes were very revealing beige-colored leopard-printed kimono. The kimono was wrapped around her torso with a thick yellow ribbon that is tied behind her back. As the finishing touch was her thigh-high socks that was only revealing her heels and toes.
The Macro from her Satan Soul should help Bickslow defeating Flemeth…well…that is the plan…
Bickslow halted them, when he heard a voice from one of his babies and he started to smirk.
'Found it,' said Bickslow with his tong out of his mouth showing of his Fairy Tail mark.
Doranbolt had grabbed a map and folded it out on the ground. The Seith Mage pointed on the map. The member of the council nodded looking at the direction they needed to go and where they were now. He laid his hand on Mirajane's and Bickslow's shoulder and teleported them towards Flemeth's base.
Wendy and Gajeel looked up by the sight of the flare. The group kept running without taking a break.
'Tch, they have found Bunny and Sparky,' said Gajeel.
'Lucy…' said Happy concerned, while looking at the flare. Natsu didn't looked up, but Happy could see that Natsu was angry.
'First we need to focus on Zero. The others can take care of themselves,' said Panther Lily understanding everyone's concern.
The vision of Lucy lying in Laxus's arms in a pool of her own blood was crossing Charle's mind.
'Charle?' Asked Wendy concerned.
The white Exceed shook her head. 'Yeah they can take care of themselves. Let's defeat Zero and help the others as quickly as possible.'
The Dragon Slayers and her fellow Exceeds nodded in agreement. Natsu nose had found the smell of Zero and made a sharp turn to the right. His right fist was already lit up. He jumped out of some bushes came in an open area were Zero had been waiting for them.
'ZERO!' yelled Natsu.
Zero smiled wickedly. He caught Natsu's fist with his bare hands and kicked Natsu a couple meters back. The Fire Dragon Slayer landed on his feet. Gajeel, Wendy standing next to him while Happy, Charle and Lilly were flying in the air above them.
'I have waited for this, Natsu…Show me…! SHOW ME YOUR POWER! THIS IS THE DAY… That I will defeat you!'
'Huh, I like to see you try,' said Natsu with a cocky grin. He stretched his arms and raised his right hand in front of him. On his fingertips was the word 'Come on' visible in form of his own flames.
'I'M ALL FIRED UP!'
So in general there are going to be four big fights. I know for sure you will think multiple eyes connected to each other is similar as Pain from Naruto. And I'm fine with that ;-) It was my own thought as well when I was thinking about the upcoming fights.
Smash, kick or hug the favorite/following button or leave a reply. (^_^)/ Thank you JIO for leaving a reply. I haven't thought about a complete side-story for Shenlong but it's an option that I can maybe write down after I have finished this story.
See you in three weeks!
