Chapter 8: Fiery Determination: Lucy vs. Natsu
Hey guys its Badass Lucy Time! I hope you guys are ready for Lucy's new powers, new abilities, new keys, and new magic I've been waiting for this chapter to be made just as much as you guys have but it's finally here for you so I hope you enjoy it.
(One Week Skip)
Lucy was sleeping in her bed when the light from the sun shined on her face waking her from her peaceful slumber, she wakes up with a yawn while rubbing her eyes to wake the 'sleep' off her eyes and get started with her day.
She walked into the kitchen she went to the fridge and took the jug of orange juice from the carton starts drinks from it but looks over to the side to see a note; she stops drinking and picks up the note to read it.
"Hey Lucy if your reading this that means you finally woke up; Me, Annabella, Anna, and Carla went out to the store for groceries and we'll be back in 20 minutes or so I hope your awake when we're back ok. I hope you're feeling better now Lucy see you in a bit.
Love Wendy."
Lucy smiled at the thoughtful note and started to eat and go on about her day until Wendy and the others came back from their grocery shopping. Lucy has been recovering from last week's incident with Natsu she still couldn't get over it but she did start picking up the pieces to her broken heart by hanging out with Wendy and the others who visited her (mostly only Juvia and Levy) but when they were gone she started to make contracts with some of the new celestial keys and actually go out and train in the forest to get her mind off of Natsu and the others at the guild.
She managed to make contracts with about twenty of the keys she got from Unolena (Out of almost 52 keys ones I made up and ones I did research on mythical creatures and constellations) and was working with them to increase her power in her celestial magic with the usual help from Capricorn she was able to summon five of her zodiac keys at once, while being able to use her dragonslaying magic, and still have energy and magic power left to fight.
She also was working with new techniques and moves that she could use while fighting a weak or stronger opponent in battle, she was progressing incredibly to becoming a very powerful mage that she could actually be an S-Class mage.
She went over did her mourning routine and requiped into a nice sky blue short sleeved t-shirt, a navy blue ruffle skirt, and her usual black combat boots and her dragon mother's hair tie which she skillfully tied into a long ponytail finishing off her outfit for the day to go back, the day which she's been dreading for almost a week now but also wanting to go since all of the stuff happened when she left she really missed all of them so much.
Just when she was about to leave she hears hear her front door opening and she turned and looked in the direction where she heard the noise come from, she heightened her dragon senses for a quick second to see who it was and sniffing the air led her to finding out who it was while also calming her senses down back to normal.
Wendy walked in with a couple bags along with Annabelle plus having Carla and Anna fly in, Anna having a fish in her mouth while Carla was just lecturing her about how she acted so much like Happy and his love of fish.
Lucy smiled softly to herself with this but was still packing some things to take with her because today she was going to go on mission so she can go out and get stronger and to take some stress off of her mind with everything happened and see some of her guild mates that she missed for over three years so they wouldn't worry about her so much.
"Hey Lucy what are you doing? I thought you weren't going off for training today because you said that you needed some rest" Wendy said.
"I'm not going to go out for training; today I'm going to go back to the guild today" Lucy said with a strong and determined voice.
"Really!? I'm so happy that you're going back again to the guild I-"Wendy excitement was cutoff for a second and with a gasp when she was wondering what will happen with Lucy when she sees 'him' "Lucy are you going to be ok with that what if Natsu there" Wendy said with worry in her voice.
Lucy's expression fell a little for a quick second but brightened again in an instant so fast that if you didn't know her well enough you wouldn't know or see any problems with her but Wendy, Anna, and the others caught it before it fell making them feel guilty for bringing up the bad memory again.
"It's fine Wendy I'll be fine, besides I'm going back to see everyone again and tell them I'm alright and maybe take a mission haven't done one in a long time so I wanted to get back and try some solo missions" Lucy said.
"Ok If you say so then let's get going then to the guild and Lucy I would like to ask if I could be your partner and make a team together?" Wendy with a shy but still with her normal voice.
Lucy's eyes sparkled with happiness "Of course Wendy! We can make a team with You, Me, Annabelle, Anna, and Carla it would be so awesome!" Lucy said.
Wendy jumped for joy at Lucy's words she ran over to her and hugged her with all of her might including Anna, Annabelle, and Carla making a very cute girl group hug.
They all got up with smiles covering their faces (Even Carla) they got all their stuff and changed clothes to get ready to go to the guild so they can tell Master the good news and start off their journey as a team with future adventures and fun times together.
(At Natsu's Place)
Natsu was laying in his bed looking up at the ceiling thinking about the things he did to Lucy worried he ruined his friendship, partnership, and the one who he truly loved but didn't know how to get her back.
Lisanna came in from his room and noticed his face plastered with confusion and deep thought but of course shook him out of his thoughts.
"Natsu are you ok, you look tense" Lisanna said worriedly.
"Yeah I'm fine just thinking about some things" Natsu getting up and looking outside his window into the summer sky.
Lisanna knew who he was thinking about, for the last three years that was the only person he thought about was her even when they started secretly dating he still thought about her definitely when he would go to sleep he would say her name in his sleep.
Lisanna wasn't the jealous type but she hated how he thought about her all the time and not her it frustrated her to think the guy you loved since you were children doesn't fully love the way you love him.
She was worried he was going to leave her for Lucy and she didn't want that she had to make a tough but needed choice that will hurt or help their relationship together.
"I know your still thinking about her still Natsu" Lisanna said with frown looking down at the floor.
Natsu turned and looked seeing her sad frown; he tried covering his lingering thoughts about the certain blonde out of his mind he had to think about something to make her feel better and let her know that he wasn't thinking about Lucy again.
"No, No I wasn't thinking about I was just thinking about what we should do today at the guild" Natsu said with a nervous smile and beads of sweat going down his forehead.
Lisanna sighed sadly "Natsu I can't be with you if you're thinking about another girl who you said you're over but you're really not, I'm sorry but I want in a relationship were my boyfriend is thinking about me and only me" Lisanna said looking into Natsu's eyes.
Natsu looked taken back by this he didn't want to lose Lisanna because she was great to him and she really loved him and vice versa but he couldn't help it he always thought about Lucy because she was his first love and will always be his first love but he had to forget those thoughts if he's hurting Lisanna so he had to do the one thing any boyfriend would do to keep his girl.
Forget about Lucy completely.
Natsu hugged Lisanna putting her head in the crock of his neck "I'm sorry if I was hurting you Lisanna I didn't mean to put you through all that, for now on I'm only going to think about you and me no one else ok I promise" Natsu said to Lisanna while also kissing her on the lips and giving her his famous toothy grin.
Lisanna smiled while tears started falling down her face, she was so happy that she couldn't do anything but cry "Thank you Natsu I love you so much I'm glad that you understand my feelings" Lisanna said while hugging him.
"No problem Lis I'll always be there for you, I love you ok" Natsu said returning the hug.
"I love you too Natsu" Lisanna said.
Natsu smiled but didn't feel the same feeling that Lucy gave him when she said that to him he felt like it meant something but not fully.
He shrugged the thought to the side and hugged his girlfriend while both getting out of his house to go to the guild for the day.
(At Fairy Tail)
Everyone was having laughs and going in and out of the guild for missions for the day; Mira was working on the bar and drinks, Levy was having her head stuck in another book with Gajeel sitting right next to her eating some scrapes of metal and iron having a bored expression on his face like always.
"Hey Levy-chan!" Lucy called out with her hand waving in the air freely to get the attention from the reading bluenette across the room.
Levy looked up from her book and smiled brightly she ran over to her friend to give her a big hug.
"Lu-chan! I've missed you so much I was so worried about you; are you doing alright?" Levy asked.
Lucy laughed softly to herself "Yea I'm fine Levy-chan; I'm just glad to be back to see all of you again" Lucy smiled at her best friend.
Levy squealed with joy and hugged her friend again; Lucy started to sniff the air for a second for an instant and smelt a familiar scent from right behind Levy and was totally shocked to say at the least.
Gajeel had his hair in short silky smooth way in the front but pointy all the way in the back (Like Vegeta's hair style in DBZ GT) while wearing a sleeveless tight t-shirt that complemented his body showing his muscles and scars on his arm with grayish brown pants with a belt holding up and army looking combat boots to finish the outfit, in simplest words Gajeel looked actually hot even with his angry and bored expressions but besides all that he actually looked hot.
"Oh My God is that Gajeel?" Lucy said with awe.
Both of them broke away from their hug, Levy turned to look at the man eating his iron and laughed softly with a slight blush on her face "Yea that's him alright" Levy said while looking in his direction.
Both of them walked over to the iron dragonslayer which made him look in their direction to smirk at Levy but then narrowing his eyes at Lucy looking at her with confusion.
"Hey Gajeel!" Levy chirped in.
"Gihi Hey Shrimp, who's the girl with you and why does she smell like Bunny Girl?" Gajeel asked.
"Gajeel I told you stop calling me that! And for someone who has an awesome nose you should've figured out that this is Lucy" Levy smiled.
Gajeel spit most of his iron out and was partially choking while Levy had to pat his back so he can breathe normally again and looked at Lucy liked she had grown two heads.
"T-that's Bunny Girl?" Gajeel said with his eyes widened with shock.
Lucy giggled "Yup it's me Metal Face how have you been doing these past three years?" Lucy was smiling brightly and laughing her ass off.
Levy was slightly giggling and Gajeel just scowled at her with a small blush coating his pierced face he turned to the other side so no can see his blush, but of course Levy and Lucy did see it and thought it was so cute.
Everything was going perfectly with Lucy and the others, They were telling each other stories and things they've been doing mostly just catching up on each other's lives.
Lucy was talking about her training and stuff that she was doing over the past three years but never once including that she had her secret of being a dragonslayer to her friends/nakama just yet it was just too soon and she told herself that she'll do it when the time is right for her to.
Lucy, Levy, Wendy, Annabelle, Gajeel, Pantherlily, Anna, and Carla were all talking about random things having fun like they used to but just when the fun was just getting good a certain somebody had to just come right through the front door to burst all the fun that Lucy was just having.
Natsu and Lisanna were walking hand-in-hand both smiling at each other looking at each other lovingly making some of the guild 'oh' and 'awe' the sweet couple but making one blonde girl very angry with jealous, she started to growl lowly to herself so no can hear her and having an intensive glare having her eyes change cerulean blue with a feral look to it.
Gajeel heard her growl and looked at her with confusion but Lucy caught Gajeel's glance and calmed herself down with some soft breaths which took away her feral eyes, dragon instinct, and Gajeel's attention but leaving a hole of sadness in her heart which she couldn't hide from her three girlfriends Levy, Wendy, and Annabelle making them look at her with pity at how sad she looked when she saw them like that.
Levy side hugged her with a soft smile to her face mouthing "It's going to be ok were here for you" Levy gestured to Annabelle, Wendy, Anna, and of course herself.
Lucy smiled and responded mouthing to all of them "Thx guys".
But before things were going back to normal Levy and the others turned partially around to have a shocked and startled look on their faces which confused Lucy until she turned around to see the man she once loved, the one she gave her heart to, the one who lied to her and broke her heart the one and only Fire Dragonslayer, Natsu Dragneel.
Lucy's smile dropped instantly when she saw him standing in front of her with a sad look on his face like he's actually sorry about what he did to Lucy but of course she has not love or like for him at all in Lucy's heart.
"Hey Lucy can I talk to you for a second" Natsu asked.
"What do you want to talk about Natsu?" Lucy said in an irritated voice.
"Um I wanted to tell you something for a sec" Natsu tried convincing Lucy to go and talk with him.
"Ok what do you need to talk to me about?" Lucy said with her arms crossed over her chest and her eyebrow rose slightly up giving off a small glare at him.
"I wanted to talk to you… like…. alone" Natsu said while scratching the back of his head.
"Well whatever you have to say to me why can't you say it to me and my girls it shouldn't be a problem right?" Lucy asked innocently with a small smirk creep up her face.
Natsu groaned while combing his fingers through his salmon (I still believe its pink always) hair with sigh right after so he can prepare himself to talk to her.
"Ok fine, Lucy I'm sorry for what happened I didn't mean to do that in front of you I hope you can forgive me for what I did and join back with Team Natsu" Natsu showing off his famous toothy grin while Lucy looked at him with surprise and shocked expression but still held her ground and was still pissed at what happened and not in the forgiving mood.
"Let me think about" Lucy put her finger to her face was thinking on her decision, and she thought about and found her answer "No" Lucy said plainly having Natsu's face drop with disappointment and Wendy and the others to giggle and laugh their asses off at his sudden rejection.
"I don't even think that you get what you did was wrong and truly feel sorry for what you did to me so I won't join and go back I told I'm done with you, your apologizes will not fix what you've done" Lucy told Natsu with a strong and convincing voice without a single form of hesitation in her voice.
Natsu was shocked beyond belief but was about to turn around to go back to Lisanna/new girlfriend (*Barf!*, Sorry NaLi fans I don't like your shipping my own opinion not anyone else's well for some but that doesn't matter at the moment) but he whispered something under his breath that only a dragonslayer could pick up which luckily Lucy is now one plus having Gajeel and Wendy hear it too and growl at him angrily.
Lucy's gangs covered most of her eyes but she had a deadly aura surrounding her which scared Wendy and them but oblivious to Natsu when he's walking away from her.
"What did you just say Natsu?" Lucy whispered softly to Natsu.
"Huh" Natsu responded while turning back around.
"I said what did you just say?" Lucy repeated again to Natsu with a much darker sound to her voice.
"I just said why do I not get a thank you and maybe an apology also for how rudely you talked to me" Natsu spoke with a plain look on his face while Lucy was gritting her teeth and her fangs growing every second with her fist boiled up into two fist ready to take out the man right in front of her almost to the point of killing him.
"Lucy" Levy called out sadly to her bestfriend but was stopped by Lucy when she heard how Lucy was talking to Natsu in such a dark matter mixed with venom covering each word that came out of her mouth.
"A Thank you, A Thank you; I don't even think you have the right to even ask me for a Thank you after everything you done to me and the worst part is that you still think that none of it is your fault or that you did anything wrong at all, how fucking dense can you be? Are you a fucking retard or something!?" Lucy was almost to the point of screaming at Natsu while beating up to a bloody pulp but before she got a chance Lisanna stepped in trying to defend Natsu in a not so helpful way but she didn't care she would was going to kick Natsu's ass and if she was going to get in the way then she'll get her ass kicked just like Natsu's If she wants.
"Hey Natsu is not a retard, he just doesn't believe that what you two had with each other was that special and beside the only reason you probably really left was because your own team thought you were weak and left you while going on a mission without you leaving you all alone which you used that pathetic excuse of trying to 'train' so you could leave, that's so incredibly sad of you Lucy" Lisanna said.
Lucy was just standing there and then in a flash she punched Lisanna straight in the jaw making her go flying into some tables and some chairs to hit the wall head on across the other side of the guild, everyone was completely shocked at what Lucy just did to Lisanna and having Natsu's anger go to a boil to see his 'girlfriend' get hit like that.
Natsu turned around snapping his head in Lucy's direction glaring directly at Lucy at what she did "What the hell did you do that for!?" Natsu shouted into Lucy's face.
"You know actually why I did that Natsu; you just let your 'girlfriend' literally bad mouth about me right in front of you, me, and the entire guild, but of course you don't care about me you only care about Lisanna why do I even try to bother in finding interest in you when you don't care about nothing but yourself." Lucy told Natsu which shocked him again but fueled his anger even more than it already was.
"But what most of what Lisanna said was true we left because we thought that you would've taken us down or it would be too hard for you even Gray and Erza agreed to leave you behind and bring Lisanna along instead she's much stronger than you now more than ever, but one thing that will never change is that you will always be a dumb blonde who think she's all that with her body but when it's something that Lisanna has but better and who is a weak pathetic mage who complains about everything and who dresses like dumb slutty whore which you already are" Natsu said with venom in his voice and with his eyes turning into green slits while growling in Lucy's face.
Lucy was done now she was going to kill him right here right now "You say a whole lot of shit Natsu when you can't even back up half of the shit you say, you are just pink-haired fire freak, gay ass bastard who needs to shut his damn mouth because all the stuff he says is completely irrelevant to everyone's life also you're a sloppy, ugly, unprepared, pompous, idiotic, arrogant, stupid son of a bitch who needs to get a reality check in life to tell him that 'the world doesn't revolve around Natsu Dragneel' and that I don't need your help anymore because I'm way stronger than you now since I got back from my training, in any case to me you're the worthless damsel-in-distress while I'm the hero but of course I don't help stupid ass whores like you because your absolutely nothing to me now, Fuck you Natsu Dragneel" Lucy finished saying to Natsu without losing a beat or breath, she left the entire guild speechless with nothing to say but to just laugh at Natsu.
"BURN!" Everyone in the guild shouted together still laughing at Lucy's comeback to Natsu.
"WHY DON'T ALL OF SHUT THE FUCK UP!" Natsu yelled with a dangerous aura surrounding him with flames leaking out of his mouth with anger and veins popping all over his head and temples plus his muscles were bulging out everywhere scaring most of the guildmates but not fazing Lucy one bit, he was about to attack her but he calmed himself down to give off an evil smirk with a dark chuckle which changed his playful and fun self to be selfish, mean, and heartless dick face.
"You know what, if you think you so strong now and don't need me anymore then let's find out with a fight between me and you all out and let's see who is stronger than the other, oh and let's put down a bet to make it more interesting" Natsu said with his dark smirk which she really wanted to smack it right off his face, but she also noticed he was being this cocky when Lisanna was knocked out cold and definitely flirty.
"Fine, what are the rules of the bet?" Lucy asked.
"Well simple if I win you'll be my slave for three months, you'll join back onto Team Natsu If you like or not, you'll be my partner again and" Natsu stopped there so he could whisper the last part in her ear "You have to be my mate when mating season comes up this year and let me do whatever I want with you" Natsu said seductively into her ear making shivers run down Lucy's spine he also had a sick evil smirk on his face but still Lucy kept her cool in front of him.
Lucy thought for a second then got her demands "If I win I want you to be me and Gray's slave for three months without any complaint, for you to eat twenty gallons of shaved ice and ice cream, to dress like a girl in front of the whole guild, and finally" Lucy copying his movements before with her "You'll have to finally screw Lisanna when mating season comes around and she'll have to be your mate forever" Lucy chuckled evilly while Natsu paled but swallowed his nervousness down his throat and put his hand out.
"Deal" Natsu asked.
"Deal" Lucy said.
"We'll fight at 2'oclock I hope you're ready for what's in store for you when the times comes" Lucy said while walking over to the guild doors but stopping and slightly turning her head to the side "Oh and I forgot to tell you Natsu never underestimate your opponent, I hope you remember because if you don't you'll lose that fight before it even begins" Lucy finished saying while pushing the doors open while Wendy, Annabelle, and Anna went with Lucy.
The guild was silent was strange and abnormal but it soon changed back to normal but more excitement with the upcoming fight that's about to break down so no one cared.
(Fairy Tail's Battle Field)
It was bright and sunny day with the summer breeze blowing through the sky cooling off the summer heat of the day and bringing a super intense feeling through the air.
Lucy and Natsu were standing in the middle of the battle field across from each other standing so still if you try to tip them over they wouldn't move in inch, they looked at each other with such intensity it looked like sparks were flying across the whole field (And not the good kind of sparks) .
Everybody were putting up bets who would win in the fight; almost everybody voted for Natsu but Wendy, Annabelle, Juvia, Levy, Anna, Carla, and Master voted for Lucy, Wendy and the others did it because they believed in Lucy 100% with her powers and strength they knew she wouldn't jump into a fight or situation if she knew she couldn't win or try her best at but the way she was talking back to Natsu at the guild hall was telling them that she was confident at what she was going to do.
And Master did it because he wanted to know how his child has been doing with her training lately when she was gone and find out if she got new powers and tricks up her sleeves that they know nothing about which kind of excited him with the new strength she's required.
Master Makarov's thoughts 'I wonder how strong you became when you were Lucy and I hope you give that brat Natsu a lesson he'll never forget'.
Macao walked in the middle of the two mages looking at both of them before explaining the rules to each of them.
"Ok here is how it's going to work with this fight were having a one-on-one match were you can you use an form of magic to your choosing you have to fight your opponent until you can't fight anymore, until he/she can't fight anymore, been K.O., or it was tie" Macao paused to see both Natsu and Lucy nod in response "There will be no calling out on cheating or magic that the person uses besides something as close as Zeref's magic that is but we will not tolerate killing in this fight at all you got me you two " Macao looked a second time at the two mages while they still share a heated starring but nodded in response.
"You both will be locked in this rune barrier that Freed made for you so keep it clean and have a good fight" Macao said while also nodding he backed away a couple inches from the two mages he raised his hand high into the air was getting started.
"Ready" Macao said.
"Set" Macao said.
"GO!" Macao yelled while dropping his hand to signal that the fight is now in show.
Natsu was the first one to attack first of course pushing his legs back so he can glide over the ground to rush over to Lucy with fist directly at her but Lucy stood there looking at him not moving at all just staring at how he was reckless trying to attack her.
Natsu pulled his arm back threw his arm out right at her, just when his fist was going to connect with her face she turned dodging his fist completely she quickly turned around with her arm stretched out and her hand balled in a fist coming right to the back of his head knocking him forward letting his body fall to the ground.
Lucy stood there with no emotion and a shocked Natsu with his face in the ground.
"W-what the how did she?" Natsu looked back with wide eyes and his dropped a little.
"I told not to underestimate your opponent right" Lucy paused and had her back turned to him but turned her head to the side to look at him "So don't think that I'm the same person since I was back then" she finished with fire glowing in her chocolate brown eyes.
Natsu got up his fist burst into flames he had anger written all over his face "I don't care even if you did go off and get stronger there is now way you'd beat me and besides you only dodged me so it doesn't matter if I miss you'll never hurt me because your still the same weak Lucy from back then" Natsu said harshly while having a small smirk on his face.
Something in Lucy snapped for a second but she hid behind her pretend mask to cover her facial expression and the feelings she has.
Natsu rushed over to her again but this time with a flaming fist aimed again at her.
"Why don't you take this Luce Fire Dragon's Iron Fist!" Natsu threw another punch at her she dodged it but this time grabbed his arm which she just dodged and parts of his one sleeveless shirt pulled him over with a Judo throw right into the ground on his back very hard cracking the ground and knocking the wind out of him and making him cough at the sudden impact.
The audience especially Team Natsu and Lisanna were completely surprised Lucy's movements and how they were so fast and elegant when she dodged plus how she just threw Natsu like he was nothing but a sack of potatoes, the only two who were not surprised by Lucy's new strength was Annabelle and definitely Anna.
Lucy looked at him in disgust and slight anger "You are so pathetic I can't believe you fell for a simple fighting move you really are a total and complete dense idiot aren't you?" Lucy said with a grin plastered on her face looking down at him.
She felt a quick surge of magic she back flipped away from Natsu when his body lit up into flames he got up his bangs covering his eyes he looked up with a murderous glare with veins popping out of his temple and around his neck he was beyond pissed he was furious with what Lucy just did to him embarrassing him in front of everyone making him look weak.
"You" Natsu pointed at Lucy "How dare you make me look like a complete ass in front of everyone!" Natsu yelled.
Lucy smirked at his question "Because I wanted to kick your butt plus make fun of you and show everyone that I don't need you because I'm just as strong with fighting as you or anyone in the guild" Lucy explained to a fuming Natsu who was In a raging flames surrounding him.
"You bitch, I'll make you regret the day that you challenged me" Natsu said while pausing to inhale some air "Take this I'm going to burn you to a crisp Fire Dragon's Roar!" Natsu shot a blazing rage of flames towards Lucy's direction but Lucy stood there not moving which scared everyone in the guild even Master and Annabelle but leaving a small smirking yellow exceed watching the fight with excitement knowing what will happen next.
"Lu-chan you have to get out of there before you get killed!" Levy was yelling with tears forming in her eyes while the other guild members were saying the same thing as Levy worried for their returned nakama.
Lucy turned around with a small smile on her face looking directly at Levy "It's ok Levy I'll be fine ok" Lucy said to her while the attack came right after those words she said to her, Levy's face looked like she was devastated at what happened to her best friend she dropped with her tears running down her face she put her hands to her face crying into them.
Gray, Erza, and Master were steaming with anger and rage, Gray spoke first "Flame Brain what was that for you bastard you didn't need to take it that far!" Gray said to Natsu.
"Shut up Stripper she deserved everything that was coming to her she shouldn't have messed with me" Natsu said.
"Why you-" Gray was about to go over and teach him a lesson but someone's voice stopped from making that action and he instantly froze as well as the rest of the guild.
"Gray there's no need" Lucy said out loud to everyone but got close to Natsu's ear and whispered something to him "You thought you won you stupid pink bastard not even close" Lucy said to him, he turned around which led him getting a Lucy kick to his face sending off flying into a boulder and some trees.
The entire guild was totally shocked at what happened at the power she had with her kick and that she was even standing there without a single scratch on her body she looked perfectly fine not wasting a single thing of magic at all.
"If you really think that was really going to take me out then you're sadly mistaken" Lucy crossed her arms over her chest.
Minutes later Natsu got up from the ruble with a huge red foot mark across his face and scratches, bruises, and cuts all over his arms and body also his clothes are partially ripped showing off his chest and rock hard abs but still with that menacing look with blood running down his face plus he had tree branches and leaves all up in his pink hair making him look slightly like a reindeer.
Lucy was trying to hold back her laughter at the sight of him but she couldn't hold it in any longer and laughed at him so hard "Hahahaha you look so bad you look like you got beat by Erza and Laxus at the same time Hahahaha" Lucy laughed even louder almost to the point where she was almost rolling on the floor, most of the guildmates started laughing at Lucy even Erza giggled a little at the thought of it.
The laughs kept going and going making a very mad and angry fire dragonslayer very pissed, he roared out of nowhere stopping all of the laughter instantly besides Lucy who calmed herself down but was met with dangerous and angry glare from Natsu.
"Aww are you mad that we laughed at you it was really funny but let me get this fight started" Lucy closed her eyes and her magic was making her body glow with wind swirling around her body mixed with magic energy.
Lucy opened her eyes letting her powers known to everyone "Requip: Key Realm" A magic yellow circle formed in her hand but nothing came out until she said called her celestial spirits names.
"Open Gate of the Lion, Gate of the Golden Bull, gate of the Scorpion, Gate of the Archer, and Gate of the Maiden" Lucy called out five of her celestial spirits gates then started saying all of their names "Leo, Taurus, Scorpio, Sagittarius, and Virgo!"A bright golden light appeared making everyone in the guild cover their eyes at how bright it was but gasped when they saw five of Lucy's celestial spirits standing surrounding around her starring down at Natsu with serious expression ready for a fight.
Gray and Erza were totally shocked at how many spirits were standing around Lucy and how they had such a strong magical energy coming from all of them.
"Whoa I can't believe that Lucy was able to summon five sprits before I thought she could only do like two to three at a time before losing energy" Gray said astonished at how strong his old teammate had become over the years.
"Yes I thought that as well it's amazing how powerful she's become I'm so proud of her she's really grown" Erza said that with a soft smile on her face.
"Ok now let's start this party up right guys" Lucy smirked.
"Right Lucy-sama!" her spirits said in unison.
"Well it looks still looks like you still hide behind your spirits" Natsu laughed to himself.
Lucy growled lowly "I knew you thought that but this time I'm going to fight more with them then ask for their help the entire time" Lucy said she looked at all her spirits and knew what to do.
"Let's go!" Lucy yelled.
"Right!" her spirits said again in unison.
They all ran at Natsu but instead of them running side by side or even next to each other there all in a straight line were Lucy was taking the lead.
Natsu thought it was weird at first that she was doing that but that wasn't his main priority it was beating Lucy making her learn her place and not to mess with him the supposedly Great Natsu Dragneel or Salamander of Fairy Tail.
He ran over to them with two flaming fist ready to hit something or someone, he punched forward trying to hit Lucy but Lucy anticipated this she went on with her plan to win this fight.
"Taurus now!" Lucy shouted.
Before the fire fist hit her Taurus came right behind her and protected her from the attack with his big axe but not even giving Natsu could change his position Loke/Leo and Lucy both punched him in his face knocking him out he flipped catching himself he looked up to see her but she wasn't there but her spirit Sagittarius having a couple arrows aimed at him, Sagittarius shoot all of his arrows going with incredible speed at him he dodged at the last moment.
Natsu was in midair but before he even noticed it Lucy used her Fleuve d'étoiles on him wrapping it around his leg, she pulled on the whip to twist the whip and him a couple times before pulling the whip down to drag Natsu down to smash into the ground hard.
Natsu was lying in small crater beaten badly; he was getting up again but saw something in the sky coming down at him.
Taurus was having his axe in the air over his head he had absorbed some of Scorpio's sand and was trying to their Unison Raid.
"Sandstorm Axe: Aldebaran!" Taurus sending down a huge like sand tornado hitting Natsu making him screams in pain from the attack and his body covered in nothing but sand and he fell in a hole that Virgo made trapping Natsu in a hole filled sand casing him in it so he can't get out.
Lucy stopped thinking that the battle was over but saw a blazing tower of flames shoot from the hole that Virgo made and a flash of fire go and touch each one of her spirits and in seconds all were screaming in pain at the intense heat radiating off of the them, Lucy panicked and forced closed their gates sending them back to their world.
Lucy was surprised when she saw another flash of fire run to her and try to touch her but moved out of the way, she noticed what the sudden moving fire it was Natsu with scales covering the sides of his face and arms with his piercing black ash eyes turn into emerald dragon eyes looking like they're going for the kill and his target was Lucy.
"Interesting never knew you actually obtained Dragon Force already now so you have been training lately" Lucy said smirking playfully getting excited at the sudden challenge Natsu was trying to make with her.
"Yeah I did now you'll know fully how deadly it can really be" Natsu said flames erupting around his body and a little lightning cracking around too.
"Man he's really going out on this one, ok if he wants to do that then I'll also bring in a new keys that I've been dying to use lately" Lucy said.
"Requip Key Realm of the Mythical Beasts: Open Gate of the Dragon, Gate of the Winged Horse, Gate of the Unicorn, Gate of the Eternal Fire Bird, and Gate of the Water Serpent!" Lucy requiped but instead of a yellow glow it was mixture of colors like a rainbow that glowed brightly in her hands.
"Draco, Pegasus, Monoceros, Phoenix, and Hydra!" Lucy shouted while a bright ray of rainbow colors shinned around her.
Everyone was completely stunned and shocked at the spirits she just summoned; the most surprised was Master Makarov because he never thought in a million years that Lucy would have these kinds of keys in her possession he was truly amazed at how strong his child was and only three years that she's been training she has the potential to be and S-class if she wanted to be, he was proud of her and was excited just by watching this fight between his two children amazed at the two strengths.
Lucy had five mythical creatures around her again but they were like mini versions of them (The size of the third guild after the Tenrou Island incident besides Pegasus and Monoceros/Unicorn) Draco, Phoenix, and Pegasus were flying in the air while Hydra and Monoceros/Unicorn were staying on the ground.
Draco had a golden white hair with pure white scales and skin he looked peaceful and elegant but strong and fierce, Pegasus had a whitish blue mane with also the same color as it's mane but much lighter she was looking beautiful, Phoenix was beautiful with fire all around her with intense hazel eyes that looked like you were seeing fire in her eyes it was powerful and pretty, Monoceros was a very light greenish color but with soft golden light hair he looked different but majestic to look at, and Hydra was a big black and blue monster creature with three heads that all had razor sharp teeth to match.
They all looked very powerful and deadly if you messed with just one of them Lucy smirked at the power her spirits were sending off to the others and to Natsu looked surprised and started to fight again.
All the mythical creatures attacked at him leading Natsu to dodge their attacks instead of fighting them head on making Lucy frustrated at the fact that he was just saying earlier talking about hiding and avoiding when attacking but now he's the one who's running away, fucking hypocrite.
Lucy was getting tired of his constant dodging she called her spirits back but what surprised Natsu was the immense power coming from all of them at once and Lucy called upon a spell to finish this fight once and for all.
"Unison Raid: Mythical Beast Spirits Roar!" Lucy shouted and a huge power surged through all of the mouths of each mythical creature and then shot them all at once in Natsu's direction.
Natsu was also getting tired of running around doing a game of cat and mouse it irritated him to a new level, so he stopped running and started to build a great amount of his magic to fight back Lucy's attack with his own (Fight fire with fire moment, pun included).
"Secret Dragonslaying Art: Twin Dragon Raging Inferno!" Natsu shouted out his body being consumed in a vortex of twisting flames and two large fires like dragons spinning together to form one dangerously powerful fire dragon to be sent at Lucy's spirits attack.
Both attacks got closer and closer until the collided together sending a powerful shockwave of magical energy to push the guild audience back even Master Makarov had to transform to protect everyone while Erza and Gray shielded everyone with their magic.
After an explosion of fire and light the field was covered in smoke leaving most of the guild to wonder who won, who lost, was it a tie, if the two are ok from that sudden intense power from both of their attacks.
The field was slowly losing the smoke in the air and making the entire guild gasp at the sight, a beaten and bloodied Natsu breathing heavily while there stood a beaten Lucy also breathing heavily with all the magic she used all at once in one day.
"I can't believe you're actually still standing you pathetic piece of trash" Natsu chocked out through all the pain he was in.
"You shut your damn mouth you gay pink haired bastard, I was just getting warmed up there's no way I'm losing to such a bitch like you" Lucy growled and breathed shaking trying to keep her body up.
Natsu smirked "Well I'm already fired up Lucy now that there's all this fire that will give me back my strength again" Natsu laughed lowly.
Lucy's eye widened "W-what n-no" she stuttered out.
"Oh yea watch how all of your 'hard work' was all in vain and that there was no chance of you beating me" Natsu said he inhaled the air while random flames from the recent blast came in his mouth he ate all of it.
He looked up with mischievous look on his face with new found power inside of him again ready to crush whoever came into his way or stopped him.
Lucy was too tired and pain to get away like she wanted to but she couldn't really even move that much with her legs with that last spell which took all of her magic mostly away.
Natsu ran towards her with a flaming fist but Lucy dodged just to get a knee into her stomach making her cough up some blood before kicking her up and uppercutting her in the face.
Lucy was sent flying in the air while Natsu jumped into the air to call out a spell.
"Fire Dragon's Claw!" Natsu yelled while also kicking Lucy down right back into the earth with huge hit.
Natsu landed on his feet walking slowly over to a beaten and partially burned Lucy almost unconscious body, he picked her up by her throat while her body limped in midair.
Levy was crying her eyes out again at her beaten friend "NO NATSU STOP THAT'S ENOUGH ALREADY SHE CAN'T FIGHT YOU ANYMORE JUST STOP AND LET HER GO!" Levy was shouting and her voice was shaken with each word coming from her mouth.
Natsu turned around slowly looking at her with a deadly glare which sacred the life out of her and left her speechless, he was still in his Dragon Force mode but this time instead of just small scale lines they were red scale marks covering his cheeks and some parts of his arms and legs, he looked almost exactly like a dragon.
"Shut up Levy" Natsu said harshly to her without a care of her continuous cries but a certain Iron Dragonslayer noticed he was about to jump and knock the hell out of Natsu if he didn't have to take care of his mate/girlfriend.
Natsu turned around to face Lucy's body limp again and still unconscious with no a sound coming out from her lips.
"You know I thought I loved you just as much as you loved me but now that I think of it why would I go out with a measly piece of trash like you, you're so pathetic it's sickening I'm going to end your pathetic little life right here right now in front of everyone" Natsu said a loud.
Everyone gasped at what he said and started panicking, Master Makarov was outraged at the words he said and was going to stop this fight immediately before it was too late.
"Freed open this rune barrier right now immediately!" Makarov roared at Freed.
"O-ok Master I'm on it" Freed left to lift up the runes.
"This little game of ours is over Lucy" Natsu said while pulling her close to his mouth "Goodbye Lucy Heartfilia" Natsu whispered in her ear before he pulled her up and inhaled a quick thing of air ready to release his spell.
"NO DON'T DO IT!" Makarov yelled with desperation.
"Fire dragon's Roar!" Natsu roared point blank in Lucy's face making her get incased in the flames shooting from his mouth.
The entire guild saw he limp body fly over and land with a thud on the ground lifeless and burnt with bruises all around her, the battle done.
"I told you weren't going to win but it's your lost" Natsu said while turning away to walk away from the defeated Lucy "This match is over, game over".
(Lucy POV In Her Thoughts )
"What I lost, after everything I did and worked so hard to do I'm not letting it end like this" Lucy said.
"I promised I was going to find Unolena one day and become one of the best dragonslayer of Fiore I can't do that if I lose here I'm never going to give up not like this" Lucy said.
"I will become the strongest dragonslayer ever known, I will find Unolena, and I will definitely win this fight" Lucy said with determination.
(Normal POV)
Natsu was walking off when he heard a small rustle coming from behind him he stopped and turned around to see Lucy getting up again which sent anger rushing through his veins thinking he defeated her and she still getting up after everything she's been through.
"No" Lucy said while picking herself up "This isn't over this far from over I won't let you win this fight because I made a promise to her and I never break a promise" she said with her bangs covering her face.
Natsu chuckled "Really? And what promise was this that you made to 'her' that you said" Natsu smirked knowing she couldn't fight anymore after all the damage she's taken earlier.
"I promised her that one day I would" Lucy paused she lifted her eyes up showing her driven determination flooding them with hope and strength "That one day I would her and become one of the best dragonslayers in all of Fiore!" Lucy shouted at Natsu.
Natsu was shocked and taken back from this coming from her he didn't believe what she was saying, he couldn't believe what she was saying to him it's not possible.
Of course everyone was shocked at her words especially Wendy, Gajeel, Laxus, Erza, Gray and Makarov they were surprised and shocked that Lucy actually was a dragonslayer and never told them until now.
Anna chuckled "Now the real fun is just about to begin" Anna smirked at what was to come while also sitting on Annabelle shoulders who also knew what was going to happened next.
Lucy was standing tall and strong while she breathed in and out with her eyes closed she called out a spell with her eyes still closed "Celestial Seal: Release" Lucy said in whisper but with having a strong beam of dazzling light that sparkled throughout the entire area of Magnolia.
Everyone was covering their eyes so they won't get blinded by the intensive light, the magic from the beam of light was giving strong and powerful magic everywhere like a bright star came down from the sky and brightened everything in sight it's power and light.
The light started to slowly fade away leaving only Lucy with her hair waving in the immense power she was holding back all this time, even Natsu dropped his Dragon Force mode because it was too strong for him to deal with the power coming from that beam of magical light.
Lucy's hair fell down with her eyes still closed but then in a minute later they opened burning with determination, strength, courage, and power of a dragonslayer.
Natsu couldn't believe it but It was true that Lucy was a dragonslayer and now had the power to kick ass majorly hard now with everything that happened between the two she's to going easy on him at all.
"Hey Natsu, you said this match is over and our little game is done right?" Lucy asked him he shook his head "Well you were wrong it's far from over, it's just beginning" Lucy said with a strong and solid voice.
Natsu was shook out of his faze for a moment to light his fist with fire "Just because you got some more power doesn't mean you're going to win, I'm still going to beat you no matter what" Natsu said.
Lucy chuckled lightly "Let's see if you can catch me Flame Brain" Lucy smirked at him.
Natsu's eyes widened in shock then turned red with anger "You're going to regret calling me that you dumb blonde" Natsu spoke with such venom in his words.
"At least I'm not a gay Pinky like you are" Lucy said.
Natsu had a feral growl come out from his mouth "That's it!" Natsu ran to her ready to start fighting again.
Lucy lit up her fist with glowing yellow sparkled light with mini stars dancing around in them she also rushed over to him with her hand pulled back like his ready to strike.
They both pulled their arms back and shouted out their spells to each other.
"Fire Dragon's Iron Fist!" Natsu yelled throwing his fist forward.
Lucy copied him "Celestial Dragon's Stellar Fist!" Lucy paused when her fist almost came in contact with his but disappeared in an instant leaving a confused Natsu going through the area where she was just there still in midair, but before he could even try to smell her scent she smashed her fist right into hi back smashing his body into the ground with such force it made a deep hole and knocking the wind out of his lungs.
"Man if I took you out that fast with just that move then this is going to be an easy fight after all" Lucy picked Natsu by his hair with new scratches all around his faces and new cuts across his face, Lucy smiled at her work "You look better like this but I know how I can make you look better" Lucy said she threw Natsu into the air she crouched down for second glowing her fist again ready for another attack.
"I hope you like this, Celestial Dragon's Meteor Uppercut!" Lucy lifted her fist and punched Natsu knocking right into his bottom jaw making a cracking sound but sending Natsu flying off into the sky but didn't get far because Lucy had a another couple moves to do to him.
"You're not getting away that easily, Celestial Dragon's Shooting Star Acceleration" Lucy said she dashed across the field with blinding golden ray of light where she just rushed off going so fast putting Jet's speed and Laxus lightning to shame.
She flashed about a few feet in front of his floating limp body falling down quickly, she stopped right on the perfect spot to get him now.
She lifted her leg and called another attack on him.
"Take this, Celestial Dragon's Meteor Claw!" Lucy shouted while moving her leg that was glowing a bright yellow turned a little and hitting Natsu right in the gut with her leg making him cough up blood and be sent crashing again down into the ground with more cracking noises.
Lucy looked down at him with pity at how bad she was taking him out with breaking a sweat.
"You call me weak what about you? You're lying on the ground broken, beaten, bruised, and worst of all humiliated in front of the entire guild so give up and just apologize for what you did and I'll maybe forgive you" Lucy said with a calm and respected voice.
She didn't get response so she thought he got knocked out so she walked away but felt a hand on her ankle she looks down to see a desperate Natsu Dragneel angry but to beaten up to see clearly.
"You're awake, great because I have still have couple more surprises for you" Lucy smiled wickedly.
Natsu paled at what she was going to do to him and how she was going to do it.
Lucy put her foot under him then kicked him up into the air, she quickly called Gemini to help her with her plan.
"Gemini turn into me, you know what to do" Lucy looked at the two floating alien looking rag dolls, they both nodded in unison "Yes Lucy-sama" they both fused together to make a double Lucy.
"Ready, let's go!" Lucy jumped high into the air with Gemini with her, they were in front of a semi-conscious Natsu they both nodded at each other before calling out their spell together.
"Celestial Dragon's Star Burst Overdrive Barrage!" Lucy and Gemini shouted in unison.
Lucy's and Gemini's hands and legs started to glow and rapidly punch and kick Natsu in midair with such speed it looked unhuman to the naked eye but for a dragonslayer it was easier to see, they both kept beating the crap out of his face and body then they lifted up there both of their hands together and slammed him down hard against the earth again.
Lucy and Gemini landed perfectly on the grounded and Lucy asked Gemini to go back which they did in puff of smoke leaving only the pink-haired fire dragonslayer and the blond-haired celestial dragonslayer.
"Are you ready to quit yet Pinky I've been waiting" Lucy said impatiently.
"N-not even c-close I'm not l-letting you b-beat me that easily" Natsu breathed the words as best he could in his current condition.
Lucy sighed "There's no way you're going to beat me you know, you're at you're limit already you can't even go into Dragon Force anymore so just end it already" Lucy looked at the stubborn fool lying on the ground looking completely pathetic and sad.
Natsu stood up again wobbling for a second before looking at Lucy with that same deadly and menacing glare from before "I'm not giving up, I'm going to be the one who wins not you got that" Natsu stated that out to Lucy, she just shrugged her shoulders not caring what he said about the situation for him.
"Requip Key Realm of the Mythical Beasts: Open Gate of the Winged Horse: Pegasus!" Lucy said and her spirit came she jumped on its back to fly up to the sky she looked own at Natsu she looked up again she inhaled some of the light from the sky to get more energy to attack him from up above.
"This will finish it, Celestial Dragon's Roar!" Lucy's roar blasted out like a beam of dazzling and shining light that had little stars flying through it going straight for Natsu but was stopped when he called his dragon's roar and canceled it out.
"I didn't think you'd still attack after everything that happened to you, aren't you hurt or anything at all?" Lucy asked bored fighting with a boring opponent that's beat up.
"You know what I'm ending this with my trump card it will take all my energy for this but if it means defeating you I'll do it" Natsu said his body being once again consumed with flames but were more intense and stronger than before it swirled around him and the ground started turning light red with circles in the same color but bigger.
Lucy noticed the shift in power and decided to use her final move of the day to finish this fight for good, Lucy powers started to surge to full power but didn't fully go because she might do some serious damage if she does.
Master felt the tension of the battle and magic power go over the scale as usual he was worried for both their safeties and didn't want his guild getting blown up because he has no money to pay for that again.
Natsu powers were at full power and started to call on his final move to take out Lucy completely.
"Secret Dragonslaying Art: Blazing Eruption Fire Dragon's Rage!" Natsu yelled loudly releasing his power, he hits the ground with his hands while pillars of blazing fire scorching everything in sight and reaching Lucy quickly but Lucy dodged all of them because of Pegasus and went on and started calling on her new spell to finish this fight, she had made the sky turn black with stars shining in the sky.
"Secret Dragonslaying Art: Heavenly Star Draco Meteor Shower!" Lucy shouted raising one hand into the air motioning the stars to fall down from the sky to rain down on her opponent with destructive and explosive stars, meteors, comets, and shooting stars.
The fire pillars got hit by thousands of different space rocks with magic energy mostly canceling Natsu's spell leaving him to take the full hit of raining space rocks with magic fused power with them falling down on him making him screaming in pain and having a shining bright light covering all of Magnolia.
When the sky was clear and it was sunny again there were craters all over the place showing the destructive power of her attack and having Natsu in the biggest crater with his one-sleeved jacket totally destroyed and his pants ripped to shreds but his scarf was still intact, in shorter words Natsu was looking a mess and got his ass kicked too.
The guild dropped the barrier and ran over to Lucy and congratulated her on her win and everyone were losing their money to Wendy, Annabelle, Levy, Juvia, Anna, Carla, and Master Makarov laughing in happiness at his winnings.
Lucy looked over to where Natsu was unconscious she walked over to see if he was still ok but also Lisanna was sitting there looking down at him sadly but glared when Lucy came around but Lucy had a calm look to her face.
"What are you doing, are here to rub it in his face that you won and you beat him" Lisanna said harshly.
Lucy smiled "No I'm here to heal him".
Lisanna's eyes widened and moved her body so Lucy could of have space to do what she need to do to help him, she placed her hands on his bare chest and a glowing yellow light illuminated on her hands surprising Lisanna but looking at it with awe.
"Shintara" Lucy said and in a good fifteen minutes later he was healed but his internal parts going to have to heal on their own but she healed most of his bones and brought back his regular breathing again.
Lucy got up and started to walk away but was stopped by Lisanna's voice.
"Why did you help, aren't you still mad at him and didn't you hate him" Lisanna asked.
Lucy disappeared making Lisanna confused until she was karate chopped in the back of her head knocking her out with Natsu but having a small smile and tears running down her face.
"Yea I did but that doesn't mean I didn't still loved him, I want to ask you a favor Lisanna take care of Natsu for me ok, bye see you later" Lucy said while jumping out of the random crater she went over to Wendy, Annabelle, Anna, and Carla she smiled but started to fall but was caught by Annabelle.
"Damnit I must've of used to much magic, I'm so tired" Lucy said cursing herself and yawning at the same time she looked over to Wendy smiling at her bringing her and the others into a group hug before laughing at each other.
"Ok let's go home guys" Lucy said while walking with the others before stopping about something really important.
"Did we ever decide what are team name is?" Lucy asked, they thought about it and shook their heads that never made one for themselves but then they kept walking over home to relax for a while caused by the most stressful day ever but also one of the many exciting one's coming in time.
What will happen now that Lucy showed her powers and abilities plus having a new team brewing in the guild, what will happen next?
