The Black Dragon Slayer of the Apocalypse
Chapter 17
Come…come… Lucy come…
Lucy didn't know what she was doing she was just following her impulses in her body and took a step forward. "LUCY WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?" Nothing appeared below her. She fell.
Gray jumped into the hole, head first, and grabbed Lucy's hair. Macao then grabbed Gray's legs. "AHHHH! Gray get off my hair!" Lucy screamed.
"You idiot! If I let go you'll fall to your death!" Gray shouted back then tried to get a better grip on Lucy, however Lucy kept squirming.
"Will you both shut up?! My grip is loosening you know!" Macao said, he was on the floor grabbing at Gray's trousers desperately. His face was red and breaths were heavy.
Come…come… Lucy come…
"Shut up will ya! As you can see we're in a bit of a situation here!" Lucy was furious.
Lucy: damn I can't summon any of my spirits in this position!
"Should I help princess?" Virgo was still in the corner of the room; she hadn't returned to the celestial world yet.
"VIRGO?! YES HELP!" Lucy screamed. Virgo through her chains down letting Lucy grab them and pulled her up.
Macao then easily pulled Gray back up. "Dear lord Lucy how much do you weigh?" Macao was astonished.
"Princess he is right. You do need to go on a diet. I thought I was going to drop you then. Will you punish me know?" Virgo said innocently.
Lucy: Yeah right! She didn't even show that she was struggling when she was lifting me up!"
"Gray, you don't think I'm heavy…"
"Lucy now is not the time!" Gray then used is ice magic to make stairs.
He then casually walked down the stairs, filled with triumph. "This is much safer then falling to our deaths isn't it Lucy?" Gray asked sarcastically.
Lucy said nothing, she closed Virgo's gate and followed Gray down the stairs. However the moment Macao took a step the ice shattered, only to be replaced by proper, stone steps.
"I guess this place is only for guild masters." Macao announced to the others.
After walking down the steps for 2 minutes, they finally reached the bottom. By this time Gray was absolutely exhausted.
The stairs had led them to a huge corridor, lit by magic torches. At the end of the corridor was a gigantic door. Lucy approached it with awe. Neck craned up. Eyes wide in disbelief. Mouth slightly open.
She extended her hand and placed it on the wooden door.
Zeref. Mountains in the east. Natsu crying. Lucy screaming. Explosion. X777 X777 X777 X777 X777 X777 X777 X777 X777 X777 X777 X777 X777 X777.
It kept repeating in Lucy's head until she let go of the door. She collapsed on the floor crying.
"Lucy what happened? What did you see?" Gray asked. Macao was confused, no one had told him that Lucy was hearing voices in her head.
"I know where Zeref is…" Lucy staggered up. She ran for the exit, however it had disappeared. "Where is it? Where did the exit go?"
Natsu. Natsu. Natsu.
BANG!
"What was that?" Macao asked. The entire place had shook.
"NATSU HE'S UPSTAIRS!" Lucy banged on the door. Gray ran by her side and told her to get out of the way. He then bombarded the wall with ice magic, Macao then joined him.
Lucy ran back to the door. "LET US OUT! YOU LOCKED IN HERE! LET US OUT!" She screamed at it.
Once again she placed her hand on the wall.
You must survive. Only you can save us. I failed but you still have a chance. Lucy Heartfilia you must not wait! Remember X777!
20 minutes later – L'armoire Histoire
They tried their best to create another exit and failed. It had been 10 minutes since they last heard a scream from their fellow guild mates.
They knew they couldn't get through yet they couldn't give up. Crying, they relentlessly attacked the wall.
The wall then opened. L'armoire Histoire had finally let them out. They frantically ran back up the stairs, behind Macao so that Gray didn't need to make another staircase.
They moment they emerge from the black hole, were they greeted by rain.
Fairy Tail had been obliterated. If you look around you could see that the fields surrounding the hall were untouched.
The three of them searched frantically for any survivors. They found no such thing. They did find, however, the mutilated bodies of their comrades, underneath the rubble.
"They will pay! Kiso! KISO!" Gray screamed curses whilst he cried beside the body that once belonged to Juvia.
They spent the rest of that day clearing the rubble and identifying each and every corpse. There were 32 in total.
It took a week to finish burying them all. The week of sorrow.
After that they began to get ready for their journey to go to the mountains in east, however the magic council stopped them. They questioned them extensively, to the point they were held captive for almost a month.
News got round that all the major guilds had been destroyed. Sabertooth, Lamia Scale, Mermaids Heel. All of them.
All of Fiore was in pandemonium. It got so bad that they couldn't spare an officer to interrogate Lucy, Macao and Gray and so eventually, they were released.
They didn't spare anytime and went directly to the mountains in the east. Lucy lead them the entire way, she head a mental map of where everything was because of L'armoire Histoire. It took almost a day to reach there. Zeref's HQ.
The time for revenge was dawning upon them. On Zeref. On Haruhi. Even on Natsu. They had no intention of sparing anyone in that building.
It was the beginning of the end.
