Tara(Guest): Thank you so much, wow! It means a lot!
"We need to find the gang as soon as possible, to make sure they don't murder anyone else. But act as normal as possible, so we don't look suspicious." Erza stated, while walking in front of Natsu, Lisanna, Happy, and Gray. "What were the descriptions again, Gray?" Lisanna asked, while holding Natsu's hand.
Gray closed his eyes and put his hands behind his head. "There's an older blond, with a large chest. She has shoulder length hair, and brown eyes." Natsu's hair shadowed his eyes, as an image of Lucy's smiling face flashed in his mind. "Another female has long, black hair and dark eyes. Um, there's another blond with shoulder length hair.. A brunette with a bowl cut.." Gray chuckled quietly. "And there's two males. The one is tall, muscular, with freckles. And the other one is short, with brown hair." Gray then nodded to himself, triumphantly, for remembering all of them.
"So what are we gonna do when we find these people?" Happy asked, while walking next to Natsu. "We're going to take them into the magic council, of course. And if they refuse, we'll just have to use force." Erza answered, while glancing back.
Then, Erza was approached by a teenage girl, with blond hair. "Hello, miss. Aren't you from the guild Fairy Tail?" The girl asked, while examining Erza's blue guild mark. "Yes, I am." Erza replied, while looking down at the girl. The girl smiled mischievously, and giggled. "Perfect. See you soon miss!" She said, then ran off into the crowd, leaving behind very confused mages.
"What just happened?" Gray asked, eyebrows furrowed. Erza narrowed her eyes, and shook her head. "I'm not so sure myself."
With Stars of Rapture
Sophie came running back into the apartment, panting and smiling like a madman. "So, are they here?" Ruko asked, while walking towards the blond. "They're here. Ha, there's two girls and two guys and a blue exceed."
Lucy slunk back into the bathroom, and began panicking. She slid down against the wall, until she was on her butt, and grabbed fist fulls of hair. Natsu, Happy, Gray, Erza, and Lisanna, probably. No! Why them?! Why did they have to come. Please! Why. Why. Why? Why!
Lucy squeezed her eyes shut, and her lip quivered. Then, she felt a hand on her shoulder and she looked up. Ai was giving her a sympathetic smile. "It's going to be okay, Lucy-san." Lucy looked back down to the tiles, and sighed. "Nothing will ever be okay." She whispered.
"Lucy, get out here please!" The blond heard Ruko call from the kitchen. Ai nodded, and Lucy got up, to make her way into the kitchen.
Sophie, Ruko, Kenshin, and Ren were scattered in the kitchen, surrounding the dining table. Once Lucy got into the kitchen, Ruko spoke. "Okay, Lucy. Since members of Fairy Tail are here, we need to come up with a plan." Lucy's eyes narrowed, but she kept her gaze on the floor. "What kind of plan."
"We can either, one, kill them. Or two, make sure they don't come back again." Lucy scoffed, and crossed her arms. "Do you have any idea who you're dealing with, Ruko?" The raven-haired girl raised an eyebrow. "Inform me, then."
"Sophie, what were the hair colors of the mages?" Lucy asked. "Red, pink, blueish, and white." Lucy closed her eyes, and bit her lip. "Erza Scarlet, S-class mage. Requip. Natsu Dragneel, Fire Dragon Slayer. Gray Fullbuster, Ice-Make mage. Lisanna Strauss, Take-Over mage."
Ren whistled. "Daamn, pretty strong, huh?" Lucy looked up with sad eyes. "There's no way you could ever drive them away. They're the most persistent bunch." Ruko bit her cheek. "And if you want to kill them.. Ehh, I think that's impossible." Lucy laughed, void of any emotion.
"Then what the fuck are we going to do?!" Ruko yelled, while slamming her fist down. "Why the hell are you getting so worked up?!" Sophie yelled, while taking a step forward. "Okay, okay guys. Stop." Lucy calmly said, which made Ruko and Sophie glare at each other.
"All we can really do is defeat them, and I don't know." Lucy pressed her palms together, and put her hands up to her lips. "I say wing it." Sophie smiled, and cracked her fingers. "That may be the best thing we can do.." Kenshin added.
"Alright then. We'll go out once the sun goes down, and hope for the best." Lucy stated blankly, while walking into the living room.
"How do you think she's going to handle seeing Natsu again?" Sophie quietly asked Ruko. Ruko frowned. "I'm not sure, to be quite honest. She may want to kill him, or she may want to run back into his arms. Or, she could just freeze up. I don't know." Sophie sighed. "Listen, Soph. I have an idea, and it can either go really good, or really bad." The raven-haired mage then began whispering her plan to the blond.
Later that night
"Natsuu~!" Lisanna called, while kissing the pinkette on the cheek. He gave the white-haired mage a crooked grin. "Yeah?" Lisanna sweetly smiled, "I love you!" Erza rolled her eyes, and became irritated at Lisanna's loss of focus. "Yeah. Yeah I know." Natsu said.
Ever since Lucy died, Natsu couldn't bring himself to love anyone else. Natsu gave his heart and soul for the blond, and now she was gone. He'd often visit her headstone that had been placed not too far from the guild, and just cry for her and their unborn child.
"You're supposed to be searching for the gang, Lisanna, Natsu." Erza angrily stated, while searching alleyways they past. "I can hardly even see it's so dark!" Natsu whined, while squinting. "I'm having no problem, flame brain." Gray sassily said, while glaring at Natsu. "Cut it out, Gray. Now is not the time for taunting Natsu." Erza snared.
"Come on!" Sophie whispered, while pulling on Ruko's shirt. "No, not yet Sophie! Let them get closer before we go out!" Ruko whispered back.
The gang was hiding in a dark alleyway, waiting to make contact with the guild members, wearing black cloaks. The line-up went: Ruko, Sophie, Ren, Kenshin, Ai, and Lucy. Lucy was taking deep breaths, trying to calm her nerves. "Lucy-san, please calm down." Ai whispered, while looking up at her leader. "I-I'm trying, Ai." Lucy whispered, while closing her eyes.
Just then, Ruko looked back at everyone else. "Okay guys! Now! Put up your hoods, and don't let them come down, no matter what!" She yelled in a hushed tone, and proceeded to put on her hood. The rest did the same, except Lucy, who stared down at the ground with shaky eyes. "R-Ruko!" Ai called, which got the attention of said person. The brunette nodded her head at Lucy, and Ruko sighed.
Ruko hurriedly walked back to Lucy, and grabbed her by her shoulders. Lucy gasped, and looked into Ruko's dark eyes. "Lucy. It's going to be okay. Just follow our lead, and stay in the back. You don't need to make contact. Everything will be okay."
The raven-haired female gave Lucy a reassuring smile, and let go. Nodding her head slowly, Lucy then put on her hood. Ruko proceeded to walk towards the street, stop to nod at Sophie, then venture out in front of the group.
"Woah, woah. Who the hell are they?" Natsu asked, while coming to a stop once he witnessed six people in hoods step out from the alleyway. "It may be the gang, be ready for anything." Erza stated, while getting in a fighting stance.
Ruko smirked, and held up her hands when noticing Erza's preparation. "Why so hostile, Fairy Tail?" Ruko said, loud enough for them to hear. "Who are you?" Erza demanded, while narrowing her eyes. Ruko outstretched her arms, and Natsu could see a smile creep on her face against the moonlight. "We're just people trying to make a living."
While Ruko and the other gang members were calm and collected, Lucy was freaking out. She kept her eyes squeezed shut, so she didn't have to look at her ex-friends. She felt her erratic heartbeat in her ears, and it was like she couldn't get enough air. Ai noticed, and began eyeing Lucy nervously, while Erza and Ruko were talking.
"Are you the gang known as Stars of Rapture?" Erza asked, while Ruko's smile widened. "I don't have a good feeling about this.." Gray whispered. "And what if we were? Then what, Erza Titania? Bring us into the magic council?" Ruko asked, trying to hold back a laugh.
Erza's patience was wearing thin. "If you are in fact Stars of Rapture, we will have no choice but to escort you to the magic council." Sophie laughed out loud, obnoxiously. Ruko laughed herself, too, and her eyes turned ice-blue. Natsu raised his eyebrows, as she made eye-contact with him. "Aren't you Natsu Dragneel?" Ruko asked, and Lucy's heart seemed to plummet in her stomach. She felt like crying, screaming, and hiding.
"I am." Natsu replied, while narrowing his eyes. Ruko took a few steps forward, but Erza yelled, "Don't come any closer!" Ruko scoffed. "I know how you abandoned Lucy."
Natsu's blood ran cold, as did the other members of Fairy Tail. "Do you know what she went through, Natsu?" Ruko asked. Lucy was on the verge of tears at this point, and she couldn't believe what Ruko was doing. "N-no, I-" Natsu stuttered out, but Ruko silenced him. "Do you want to?"
"Shouldn't have made eye contact, silly boy.." Sophie whispered to herself. "Mine Possession: Nightmares!" Ruko chanted.
Natsu felt a pulse go through his body, and images of Lucy's "death" flashed through his mind. Ruko was able to recreate these images, and intensify them, from what Lucy had eventually told her.
Natsu fell to his knees, which alerted the other members, and began crying. "Make it stop! Please!" He begged, while he could do nothing but watch as Lucy was repeatedly raped and stabbed. "Please!" Natsu choked on his sobs, and yelled in agony as the memories were starting to hurt. "I-I'm begging yo-AAH!"
"R-Ruko.." Lucy whispered, while finally opening her eyes to watch what was happening to Natsu. "Stop.." She said a little louder. Ai's head snapped over, and shook her head at Lucy.
As Natsu gripped his hair tighter, and his screams became louder, Lucy became more frantic. The constant yells of stop and what are you doing coming from Happy, Lisanna, Gray, and Erza only made things worse for the blond, and she couldn't take it anymore.
"Ruko! Please, stop! You're going to kill him!" Lucy yelled as she ran to Ruko, grabbing her arm. Ruko kept her eyes glued to Natsu, to continue torturing him, but flung Lucy off with a flick of her elbow. "Ruko! I told you to stop!" Lucy screamed as she kicked out Ruko's legs.
Ruko fell to the ground, landing on her butt, and shot Lucy a death glare, in which Lucy scowled. "Please, Ruko. Stop this." Grunting, Ruko looked back at Natsu's tear-stained face, and stopped her spell. Natsu, relieved, fell to the cement, and clenched his fists.
"How would you know about Lucy.." Natsu ground out. Ruko stood up, and smiled sadly at Lucy. She mouthed to her best friend I'm sorry, and looked back at Natsu. "Because she never died."
Everyone stood there, shocked. Natsu and Gray had their mouths gaping, while Happy continued to cry. Sophie grunted, and took a step towards Ruko. "Ruko! What the hell are you doing?!" She exclaimed, while the raven-haired girl looked over her shoulder and winked. "We said to wing it, didn't we?" Sophie smirked, as she knew exactly what Ruko was doing.
Lucy was backing up, and adrenaline was pulsing through her veins. "W-what do you mean?!" Natsu yelled, while getting up and walking a few feet towards Ruko. Erza stopped him, though, and pushed him back while shaking her head.
"She's right here, you fools. You forgot about your nakama so easily, that you couldn't even recognize her voice." Ruko held her hand out to Lucy, and she kept backing up with wide eyes, and an open mouth. "Sophie, please." Ruko called in a calm voice.
Sighing, Sophie spun her index finger in a circle, and behind Lucy appeared a small black hole. It was only about the size of her head, and Sophie instructed it to consume Lucy's cloak. It did so, by ripping the fabric away from the blond, leaving her in a tank top and pants. Sophie dissipated her black hole, and crossed her arms.
"H-how is that possible.." Erza said in a whisper, while staring wide-eyed at Lucy. "You're, you're-" Natsu said, while his eyes began to water.
Lucy wanted to crawl in a ball and die. This wasn't supposed to happen. This wasn't what they had planned. "I-I-" Then, a random gust of wind hit each person, and Natsu sniffed the air. Lucy's familiar scent filled his nose, and he choked out a sob. Why couldn't I smell her before?!
Natsu then ran towards Lucy, embracing her in a bone-crushing hug while crying. Lucy just stood there, not returning the hug, looking up towards the star-filled sky. She couldn't believe what had just happened, in such a short period of time.
Her lover was hugging her.
The father of her child was hugging her.
She thought she'd never see him again, and Lucy can't even count how many times she's cried herself to sleep because of it. But, now that they were reunited, an ounce of disgust washed over her. A scowl came across her features, and Ai's smile quickly faded. Lucy's dull, blond hair shielded her eyes, and she bit her lip to prevent her tears from falling.
"You stopped. You gave up." Lucy said, emotionless. "How could you." Natsu pulled back from Lucy, only to dive his lips in and kiss her. "I-I'm so sorry." Natsu choked out, once he parted from Lucy. She just stood there, with wide eyes, and tears finally running down her cheeks.
Erza was trying not to cry, while Gray stood there, arms crossed and a sad smile on his face. Happy was blubbering like a baby, while Lisanna smiled at their reunion. Lisanna didn't mind though, because she knew Lucy would forever only be the one for Natsu.
Ruko was walking away, with the gang, who all had smiles on their faces. Lucy noticed, and broke away from Natsu's grip. "Wh-where are you guys going?!" Lucy called out after. Ruko turned around, hood down, but continued to walk backwards. "We're heading home! Spend some time catching up." Lucy stood in the middle of the street, dumbfounded that Ruko just left her there, with Natsu squeezing her in another hug, and Happy crying on her head.
"U-u-um.." Lucy said shakily, as she pried Natsu off of her. By this time, Erza, Gray, and Lisanna had crowded around the blond, with sad looks on their faces. "H-hey guys.. Good to see you all again.." Lucy said, nervously.
Erza pushed Natsu and Happy out of the way, and grabbed Lucy's head, and brought it to her armored chest. Lucy's head slammed against it, and Lucy let out a whimper. She began crying though, and loud, choked sobs left her lips. "I've m-missed you guys s-s-so much!" Eventually, everybody came in a cliché group hug, and continued to cry.
Erza was the first to pull away, and ask if Lucy would show them to her living quarters. Lucy agreed, and they began walking towards Lucy's apartment.
Along the way, Natsu grabbed Lucy's scar-ridden arm, and lit a finger on fire to view them better. "What the hell happened to you, Lucy.." He asked, while frowning. Lisanna looked over and gave Lucy a concerned look, before refocusing her eyes on the ground. "Take care of her, Natsu.." Lisanna whispered to herself.
"I-I'll explain eventually.. But for right now.."
They were finally in front of Lucy's apartment. Lucy looked Natsu in the eye, and gave him the best grin she could manage. Although it was pitiful, Natsu smiled back.
"I have someone I'd like you to meet."
