When I got to the guild doors I could hear muffled yelling from a woman. Erza, you never change. I put my hood up so I could hide my face. Alright Lucy, you have fought enough villains to know how they act…just don't do the pervy ones. *shiver* I took a deep breath in and opened the doors. People were running around getting weapons and thinking of battle plans. I heard many things being said. "Did you feel that magic!?" "Was it Zeref again?!" "No way! It was way stronger than Zeref!" "You got that right!" I moved the hood to cover my smiling face. Suddenly, one of them saw me. He or she (I couldn't tell) gasped, and then the whole guild turned their heads to see who the person was gasping at. Curious faces turned to ones of shock, fear, and anger. It was silent before Erza spoke."Who are you?" she said in the front of the crowd.
I decided not to answer. Instead I stared at all of them. They hadn't changed a bit since I left. Not even Wendy, who was trying to look brave, but I could see the fear in her eyes. I felt kinda bad, but I wanted to fight them. If they knew it was me, they would go easy on me! "Did you cause that magical energy jump?" Gray asked. I did not reply again but merely smiled lifting my hood so they could see it.
"You think this is a joke? If you don't start answering questions, we will-" I interrupted him. "You'll do what Salamander? Fight me? Don't make me laugh!" I fake laughed, but it was real as well just seeing their faces. A gust of wind came by and my cloak moved to reveal my keys. Uh-Oh. That was not part of the plan, but I guess it will get them angry… Hopefully not too much, I thought knowing team Natsu would recognize the keys.
"Wait…Aren't those Lucy's keys?" Gray said and the guild gasped. Levy had tears in her eyes and I knew she was thinking of the worst. I don't want them to think I killed her- I mean me! You know to never mess with a Fairytail member, or you will get it back tenfold. I did not feel like dying today; just a spar fight to test my strangth, that's all.
"Where. Did. You. Get. Those. Keys?" I looked to see onyx eyes piercing through my cloak. Natsu really would protect me. Luckily, I had a hood to hide the blush. "Your comrade gave them to me. She told me she was too weak to carry on with being a mage, let alone responsible for spirits lives." I said and Erza tsked, so I faced her.
"Your lying! Lucy would never say that. She loves her spirits like family and would NEVER give them to the likes of you!" I was offended at first because she called me "the likes of them", but I remembered I was only acting so I was okay with it. I stood in silence staring at Erza through my cloak (Think of Future Lucy).
Suddenly a yell was heard and I saw Natsu running fast at me. "FIRE DRAGON IRON FIST!" he said and his hand caught aflame and he tried to punch me. I dodged it easily using teleportation. "Ha! So that's it? You can teleport? That's only defense magic! You can't fight back with teleportation!" he said laughing, thinking this was all a joke. Oh how you are wrong Salamander! I said through telepathy to only him. He looked shocked and I took the moment to roundhouse kick him and he flew a crossed the guild. There was a huge dent in the wall where he landed. He was knocked out, but for only a moment before waking up. He looked at me with only anger, but tried not to move much. Maybe I went overboard on the kick?
"ICE-MAKE FLOOR!" Gray said. I said the same thing very quietly so not even the dragon slayer could hear me. Everyone must have thought I had mirror magic (takes your spell ad uses it against you) or something. Our ice floors met in the middle and clashed creating a jagged ice wall, piercing through the ceiling.
"IRON DRAGON ROAR!" Gajeel said cutting through the ice wall. I simply teleported to the other side. "Gravity Down!" I said and it hit Gajeel head one since I moved so fast. He fell to the floor, and the wood started to crack. He was being pushed down forcefully. "I…c-can't…move," he said through gritted teeth , and the wood started to break even more. Levy came over to him to try and help. Nothing could work, for I had mastered the spell. "Gravity Magic?" I heard Ley whisper. "WHERE IS MASTER!?" Erza yelled and Wendy answered. "He is at the magic council discussing damage sues from the people cause by Fairytail…" she said.
Suddenly a rune was created around me. Freed. "I have placed a rune around you so that you cannot escape. Only Fairytail members can come in and out." I did my best to look scared and they seemed to buy it. "Nice Job Freed! I'm all fired up now!" Natsu said apparently feeling much better thanks to Wendy. He came running in the rune. "Fire Dragon Roar!" He said and I let it consume me. They all looked victorious until when he stopped the attack, I had vanished. I just teleported out. I am still a Fairytail member you know! "Where did you go!?" He yelled looking for me.
"Up here, Salamander!" I said holding a silver key with wings on my back. "Thank you, Aero," I said lowering myself to the ground. Aero disappeared with a cheerful "No problem!". I decided to check up on Erza to see her shocked face. I read her thoughts. "Gravity, teleportation, rune, mirror, and celestial magic!?" I laughed internally. "Don't forget telepathy," I said, and Erza's shocked face seemed to get even bigger. "Re-quip! Lightning Empress!" She moved very fast and I did not expect it, but luckily, my body is made of water in battle when dealing with physical attacks. She ran behind me and kicked me, but she went right through water. "WHY DON'T YOU JUST FIGHT BACK!?" she yelled throwing punch after punch, each having no effect one me.
"Okay Erza. You think you can actually beat me? Go ahead and try. Use all of your magic at once and see what happens. I promise I will not teleport." I said calmly. I was actually curious myself. She stood staring at me, as if evaluating me on my word. Finally, she walked away. Is she giving up?
I soon found myself surrounded by 175 swords. Erza turned to face me. She was sweating, but held determination. "I will take you on that word. Let's show her who Fairytail is!" She yelled. Immediately people started to stand and get into battle stance. "One my mark" Erza said. "Three" People started readying energy. I closed my eyes and remembered the attack. I counted in my head as well. Three. "Two." Natsu put his steaming hand through his hair. "I'm all fired up now!" He said. I could barely hear them but I still counted. I felt Mama's presence with me. Two. "One." Erza said as she smiled. I opened my eyes and her eyes widened a bit when I smiled as well. We said the last line together. "Zero."
I heard everyone yell their attacks. "ICE-MAKE CANON!" "DANCE MY BLADES!" "FIRE DRAGON ROAR!" "SKY DRAGON ROAR!" "WATER NEBULA!" "SATAN SOUL!" "LIGHTNING DRAGON ROAR!" and other various attacks came my way. I smiled and said a spell I invented myself. It stopped time while my attack was preparing.
Oh heavens above; be my light
Oh darkness below; be my strength
Oh oceans depth; give me hope
Oh dragons roar; give me power
I use your strength and fight the evil
Help and guide me in my attacks
Devour the attacks that come my way
Find their weakness and use it
I use this spell… ELEMENTAL QUEENS DECREE! (again, late at night sorry)
A rainbow enveloped me, and grew. A beam of light came from the sun. It hit me and my transformation started. I transformed to my god form. I had long blonde hair with a crown of all the elements. My armor was a dress like clothing, but it was indestructible. There was a being of a wolf, phoenix, angle, demon, dragon, and giant on the from. The armor itself was pitch black, and was almost like a robe. My hair was in a bun with bangs to frame my face. My eyes had constant color change of the rainbow. This was just the first part of the attack. The transformation increased the power of the attack, but that wall all.
The second part was in phase. My attack sped through everyone in a millisecond, and found their weaknesses and came back to me. Time started again and the attacks were inches from my face when my attack went off. A magic circle appeared on the guild; well more like 20 magic circles. The guild could see it from the beam of light that created a hole in the guild. A humongous rainbow beam went off and the entire guild was destroyed. Everyone fell due to the fact that during transformation, my limiters were removed. Even Erza fell, and everyone passed out immediately from m attack. When the dust cleared, it looked like Fairytail had never even been a guild. The only thing there was a guild sized crater where the guild used to be.
I ensured nobody went unconscious so they didn't go to sleep fearing for their lives. I put my limiters on and everyone just watched me on the floor, unable to move. I cannot do anything about restoring magic depletion and everyone was very tired. All of them passed out except for Erza, she just watched breathing heavily. I lifted my guild mates into the air and rebuilt the guild foundation. Erza decided to break the silence and spoke… Kind of. She was wheezing pretty badly. "W-who…who are... y-you?" She asked. I smiled at her and she knew then that I was not evil. "Nobody to fear. I know once you see my face, you will know that." I said softly and she seemed to understand. I summoned Ares to lay wool clouds for people to sleep on. Erza merely watched with a wincing face. "You seem tired Erza, you should probably rest. You did amazing in battle today, and I thought you couldn't get any stronger." I laughed and she smiled. "It has been a full year Lucy." She said. My eyes widened and I looked at her. "Once you stopped fighting us, I could easily tell it was you. Your kind personality gives it away, and the way you act toward your spirits is a way only you would act." I smiled and removed my hood.
"It is good to be back," I said putting a cold towel on everyone's head. I turned to face her. " Why don't you get some rest, I will talk with you more only after you rest!" I said fake sternly and she laughed which turned into a cough. "I want to go to bed, but my mind doesn't seem to cooperate. I cannot get that battle out of my head, and I have so many questions," she said staring at the ceiling with a blank face on her wool cloud bed. "Need help?" I asked and she smiled. "That would be lovely," I nodded and sat next to her and summoned Lyra. She played the harp and a soft melody could be heard. I took out a cold towel and set it one her forehead and then put my hands on her cheeks. I softly said "Peaceful slumber," and Erza's eyes slowly began to close.
"It's good to be back home," I said as I sat down and felt sleep over take me.
