Hello again! I updated twice this weekend! Yay! I hope you liked the last chapter and I hope you enjoyed this one too.
"There you guys are." Tadase said.
"You guys take too long!" Yaya complained.
Then, the 2 Guardians saw Team Natsu.
"Um... Who are they?" Yaya asked.
"This is Natsu, Gray, Erza and Wendy." Amu introduced.
"Guys. This is Tadase, the King's Chair and Yaya, the Ace's Chair." Lucy also said.
"We didn't get to introduce ourselves earlier but, I'm Nagihiko Fujisaki. Jack's Chair. You can call me Nagi, alright?"
"My name is Rima Mashiro. Queen's Chair."
"I'm Amu Hinamori. I'm the Joker and I'm also Lucy's older twin sister."
"Stop saying you're older." Lucy said crossing her arms.
"Anyway, down to business." Erza spoke up.
"What are Chara's?" Wendy asked too.
"You can see them?" Tadase asked surprised.
"Very clearly." Gray answered.
"They're weird." Natsu added.
"Hey!" The Chara's shouted at Natsu, offended.
"Okay, okay!" Natsu replied.
"Well, I'll assume you 4 told them the obvious things." Tadase said.
Lucy, Amu, Nagi and Rima nodded confirming it.
"Chara's have cool powers!" Yaya said.
"Well I wouldn't say cool, but they do have powers." Tadase said. "They an do things called Character Change and Character Transformation."
"A what?" Natsu asked.
"Character Change and Character Transforrmation." Erza repeated.
"I'm not following ya." Natsu replied.
The rest all sighed in great disappointment.
"Character Change is when your personality changes big time because of your Chara!" Yaya said.
"How does it work?" Wendy asked curiously.
"Most of the time it's like this." Miki said pointing at Ran.
"Character Change!" Ran chanted.
Amu's hairclip changed into a heart and she started doing crazy stunts. She cartwheeled toward the table and backflipped over it at that. Her hairclip changed back to what it was before and she stoppped what she was doing.
"Hey Ran, warning first okay?" Amu reminded the pink Chara.
Ran laughed and went back to Miki and Su hiding from Amu.
"There's anothger way for Character Change." Su added.
"How does the 2nd way work?" Gray asked not actaully wanting to know how it works.
"Natsu. How does Tadase act to you?" Rima asked suddenly.
"What does this got to do with Character Change?" Erza asked.
"Just wait for it, Erza." Nagi said.
"Like a Prince." Natsu replied.
That did it. A crown suddenly appeared on top of Tadase's head and he started to do a weird laugh. "Hahahaha! All of you must bow before your King, now!" Tadase commanded.
Team Natsu stood dumbfounded by Tadase's Character Change.
"Amu's didn't really change, but that's just scary." Gray said.
"You've got that right." Natsu agreed.
"Wow. Just wow." Wendy and Erza said together.
"Character Transformation isn't all that different. It just involves turning merging yourself with your Chara and gain powers." Amu explained. "Sweet huh?"
Tadase went back to normal and started to be embarrassed.
"Speacking of Chara's, I found these this morning." Lucy said. She took her bag and placed the 14 eggs on the table gently.
"Wow! You have so many!" Kusukusu said.
"We're gonna get alot of friends." Rhythm added.
At the same time, Happy and Carla arrived too.
"Happy!" Natsu said relieved.
"Carla!" Wendy said happily.
Lucy looked over and saw that the 2 cats were looking sad for a split second and then went to a weird kind of happy mode. "That's weird." Lucy thought.
"Lucy has so many eggs! I feel a little jealous!" Yaya shouted.
When Natsu took one glimpse of the eggs, he knew it was the gate keys they're looking for. Natsu smirked and the egg with a lion had started to glow. Erza, Gray, Wendy, Happy and Carla noticed this and smiled. The other 13 eggs glew too and suddenly turned into gate keys again. They landed softly on Lucy's hands and all was silent.
"What the just happened?" Yaya spoke up, very confused.
"I don't know. My eggs. They turned into... keys." Lucy said.
Suddenly, Loke's key glew and everybody - except for Team Natsu - covered their eyes. Then, a younger Loke came.
"Finally. My key turned back." Loke said fixing his glasses. Loke noticed everyone else infront of him and he looked at himself to see he was short. "What happened to me!?"
Team Natsu laughed as everyone else sweat dropped.
"Yo Loke." Natsu spoke up.
Loke turned to see him and the other 3 mages - well except Wendy - looked also younger.
"You guys are here too!? Why are we all younger!?" He asked. "Wendy. You're still the same whew. Thank goddness."
Wendy felt her self-esteem drop but, ignored it anyway.
"Um... can one of you explain what just happened here?" Amu asked a little shocked.
"That guy just came out of nowhere." Nagi added.
Loke then spotted Lucy and went to her side. "Hey Lucy." Loke said.
"Loke." Happy said.
"She isn't our Lucy." Carla said.
"Those cats just talked." Rima said calmly.
"Yeah. But, why aren't we over-reacting?" Yaya asked.
"Maybe we're just used to it." Tadase replied.
They nodded in response, agreeing with him.
"Lucy, just tell Loke to go." Erza said.
"Um... okay." Lucy said nervously. "You can go now."
"As you wish." Loke replied. The key glew and Loke left.
Afterwards, Erza, Wendy and Carla explained everything as best as they could and it seemed the Guardians and Charas understood perfectly of the situation.
After all the hard explainations of where the they came from and how they got there, the stone that Makarov gave Erza started to buzz and glow. Erza took it out and an image of Makarov and Levy came.
"Master, is something wrong?" Erza asked really concerned.
"Something happened to Lucy!" Levy answered. "What!?" Natsu asked.
"She's crying in her sleep!" Levy added again.
"But I thought she was dead!" Gray said.
"So, it's true after all." Carla thought.
"The dream. It was right." Lucy and Amu thought at the same time too.
The image then moved to Mira and a crying bloody Lucy. When the Guarians saw her, they did a double take between her and the Lucy beside them.
"It's her." Lucy mumbled softly.
"What?" Amu asked her sister.
"That's the girl in my dreams!" Lucy shouted pointing at the sleeping mage.
Carla crossed her arms and her expression turned into seriously concerned.
"Listen. All of you. I had a vision earlier today. This event just made it correct." She said.
"What vision, Carla?" Wendy asked.
"The minute our Lucy died, this Lucy was created from her. In other words, you are her other."
So, how did you like this chapter? Things are going to get interesting. Now, Team Natsu and the Guardians know that Lucy is actually Lucy Heartfilia. How do you think they'll react to the issue? What will Lucy think? will Natsu try to make her bring back his Luce? Find out in chapter 4!
