Chapter Three

Lucy spoke up. "Wait wait wait. You mean to tell me, that the Spirit King had a council with you?! He accepted bringing you to the Spirit World!?" She literally shouted. Lucy was flabbergasted.

Lucille flinched but nodded, smiling a little. "Yes…he did." She breathed in and out, nervous to continue.

"I just..can't believe it.." Lucy shook her head back and forth while putting a hand to her heart. Natsu put a hand on Lucy's shoulder. He looked to Lucille and nodded. "Go ahead, Lucille."

Lucille nodded as she continued. "So every celestial spirit and the Spirit King stood before me,"

~~ Flashback ~~

The Spirit King looked at young Lucille. "Why have you summoned me, daughter of my old friend?" He asked with authority but with a touch of fondness.

Lucille blinked a few times, mostly because she was in awe that she was actually in the spirit world. She stood up and thought about how she could explain the reason why she called him. "I called you because I thought you may be able to help me, or explain the reason." The Spirit King looked thoughtful and nodded for her to continue. "Well you know my parents, Natsu and Lucy, and how they both have magic. My twin sister Natalie recently got hers, fire dragon slaying magic. I thought I would get mine soon but I haven't." She looks down at her feet. "I waited but I never received a hint of magic. That's when I realized I would be one of the children who never receive magic... I tried and tried but I never got mommy or daddy's magic." Lucille looks up with determination in her eyes. "That's when I decided to try one more time. I really like my mommy's magic, the stars and constellations fascinate me! So I tried to summon every celestial spirit mommy had, but…they didn't work…" She looks down, almost on the verge of tears. "I know I have magic inside me…I know it's there, I can feel it. I just can't make it work..." One single tear falls down her cheek. Lucille looks up with pleading eyes. "Please, Spirit King, is there any way I can become a Celestial Spirit Mage?! Can you teach me? If there is a way I know I can go through with the training. I've got a strong enough will, and the heart to do it!" She said as she puts a hand to her heart. "So please, Spirit King, please help me…" She begged as she bows her head.

All of the celestial spirits looked at Lucille with fondness. They had met her when she came into the world. Lucy wanted her children and her spirits to be acquainted with each other, because her spirits were her friends. Needless to say, all of her spirits cared for Natalie and Lucille. So seeing Lucille so passionate about being a celestial spirit mage, tugged at their hearts. The Spirit King looked thoughtful as he put a hand to his chin. Lucille definitely took after Lucy in looks, but also her determination and heart.

Loki looked to the Spirit King. "I think you should tell her." Loki looked at Lucille and smiled. 'She could definitely do it.' he thought as he nodded. The Spirit King looked to Leo and something clicked. He closed his eyes, nodded, and opened them to stare at Lucille.

"Young Lucille. You do indeed have magic inside you. However, it's dormant; meaning it is hard to access. Most people like that never access their magic. But you differ from them. I can see your heart and soul are so strong and passionate about becoming a mage; and not just any mage, a Celestial Mage. That is why you feel so fond of the spirits and constellations." He paused and saw how her face lit up at his last couple sentences. He smiled and continued on. "Young one. There is a way to bring out your magic." He confirmed and Lucille beamed. "It's a grueling process and would take a long time to master." Lucille looked down some, but the Spirit King continued. "But you may just accomplish it. I believe you can go through with the training. If," Lucille who had began to jump up and down, stopped at his serious tone of voice on the word 'if'. "If you are willing to stay here, in the spirit world, for however long it takes for your training to be complete." The celestial spirits look at Lucille.

Lucille's expression falters for a few seconds before being replaced by a determined one. "I will do it. I'll do whatever it takes to unlock my magic." She said as she nodded her head. She was sure and she was determined. She wanted this so badly, she wanted and needed her magic. She would do whatever she needed to in order to obtain it.

All the celestial spirits looked to the Spirit King. The Spirit King looked at her a bit longer before nodding. "Alright then. I shall send you back so you may tell my old frie-" Lucille cut him off.

"No!" Lucille held out her hands as if to ward him off. The Spirit King gave her a questioning look. "I…don't want them to know..." She looked down and away.

"Why, young one?" He asked, his tone filled with curiosity.

"Because...they would try to stop me. And I know they would say I don't need to have magic, that they would still love me without it. But…" Lucille breathed in and looked up to the Spirit King. "I need to do this for me. I'm not doing this to fit in; I'm doing this for me." She said with determination. Her heart pained a little at not wanting them to know, but she was sure she didn't want them to know. After a couple seconds she thought of something. "Ah-! Actually, would you mind sending this bracelet back to where I was sitting when I summoned you?" She said as she slid it off and held it in the palm of her hands. 'Maybe this would help in some way. Maybe they will have hope that I'll come back..' She thought.

The Spirit King thought for a moment and nodded. "If that is what you wish, so be it." The Spirit King lifted his hand and her bracelet shimmered before it disappeared. He returned his attention to her. "However, you understand that time could either go fast or slow while you are here, correct? You are absolutely sure you wish to continue?"

Lucille never faltered. "Yes, I understand the time difference. Mommy told me once how she came here for a celebration when they were supposed to be training. What seemed like hours here turned into days back home. But I don't care. I will train for however long it takes!" She said nodding, as she smiled confidently; looking much like Natsu as she did so. This was it. She was really going to unlock her magic!

The Spirit King finally smiled as he nodded. "Alright. Let us begin! Time is of the essence after all. Every Spirit here shall teach you how to bring out your magic." He laughed as Lucille shouted 'Aye!', obviously influenced from Happy. While the other spirits shouted 'Yes sir!'

~~ End Flashback ~~

"After that I began training, but not before getting to say hi to every Spirit." Lucille said as she giggled slightly. "However, there was a few hours when I had to stop because you summoned everyone, mom. When they returned, Loki then told me how you all were looking for me. Even how you were asking other guilds for help." She looked down sadly, and then she raised her head to look at everyone. "It pained me when he told me but I…I had to do it. Even if that meant closing off my heart from thinking about you all and only thinking about myself." She said as looked up. "So I continued training. I started off with the silver keys as teachers, since the Spirit King said I should start small. Before I knew it, I realized I was getting older. That made me wonder about how much time had passed here but, I had to concentrate. So I disregarded the thought. Soon enough I began training with Loki, Capricorn, and Aquarius. They were extremely tough, but.." She cut off as she shivered. "Out of the three..Aquarius was the toughest." Lucille said as she shivered again.

Lucy shivered as she remembered, but stopped when she realized who Lucille was talking about. She walked to Lucille with an emotional expression, almost on the verge of tears. She grasped Lucille's shoulders for support. "Aquarius..? You met Aquarius!? How is she?! Is she doing well? Its been so long..I miss her so much.." After Lucy broke Aquarius's key, she never recovered. Over the years she began to make herself forget about Aquarius. She could have asked Scorpio how she was doing of course, but that would just make her miss Aquarius more. It even pained her that Aquarius never got to meet her daughters.

Lucille held her mom's arms and smiled warmly. "She's doing well. She would never admit this of course, but I can tell you she misses you. Actually I asked her once about if she missed you, but she scoffed and went away. That's when Scorpio came to me and told me she misses you. In fact, she's proud of how far you've come without her." Lucy looked up as a tear slid down her cheek. She smiled as she wiped away the tear and stood up straighter. Lucille smiled.

"That makes me happy to hear. Sorry I'll let you continue." Lucy said as she laughed a bit, walking over to Natsu. He wrapped an arm around her shoulder and gave her his signature smile. Natsu remembered how hard it was for Lucy to not have Aquarius anymore. He had to soothe Lucy a lot, until she just made herself forget about Aquarius over time. So finding out that Aquarius was proud of Lucy was a huge relief to Natsu. He knew, finally, that Lucy could move on. 'Aquarius is proud of me..' Lucy smiled as that information warmed her heart.

Lucille continued. "It was hard to go through their training. Definitely. But one day, when I was to train with Aquarius, she stopped me."

~~ Flashback ~~

Lucille was now eighteen as she went to her meeting spot with Aquarius. Aquarius turned around and stared. Lucille blinked and after a minute she decided to ask. "What's up? What's my lesson for today?" Lucille asked. After staring at her a moment longer, Aquarius smiled. "There are no more lessons. It's time Lucille. Time to be tested."

Lucille stood flabbergasted. "I..I..I'm ready..? I'm really ready!?" She shouted as she smiled, her eyes glittering.

Aquarius nodded. "Come. Let's see the Spirit King." She came over to Lucille and grabbed her hand. At that moment, a flash of light shot down, illuminating them. Aquarius and Lucille shimmered before disappearing. They then reappeared in front of the Spirit King. All of the spirits were there and stood in front of him.

"Lucille Dragneel. Your training has taken eight Earthland years but you are finished." He said smiling. "However, the true test is about to begin."

"Wait..what do you mean?" Lucille asked confused.

"The true test lies with you. You must create your own spirit key." He stated.

Lucille's mouth dropped open in shock. "Is..that even possible!?" She asked.

The Spirit King nodded. "Yes, though few have accomplished it. What you must do is summon all of your energy to the palms of your hands. Put all of your heart and soul into it. Feel it take shape into a key." He explained.

"You can do it Lucille." Loki encouraged, winking.

Lucille stood there a bit surprised by this information, but if this is what she needed to do. She smiled and nodded to Loki. "Alright." She put her hands together, palms facing up, and closed her eyes. She imagined all of her energy, heart, and soul into the palms of her hands. 'Concentrate. Focus. Imagine my energy forming into a key. Focus.' she chanted. She was almost at her limit when she felt it. She felt a warmth spread from her palms to the rest of her body. A rush of wind circled around her. When it all stopped, she opened her eyes. In her hands was a silver key. The end you hold was square shaped with a lock symbol in the middle of it, surrounded by a rope. The body was straight and the end of the key looked like a normal key end, but with a heart in the middle. Lucille looked at in awe and smiled. "I did it…I created my own key!" She said jumping into the air. She looked at the Spirit King. "Does this mean…that I'm.."

"Yes. You are now a Celestial Spirit Mage, Lucille Dragneel."

~~ End Flashback

Everyone stood wide eyed. "So wait..you really are…?" Natalie asked to break everyone's shock.

Lucille smiled triumphantly. "I am! To complete the process I had to summon my spirit once I created it. Would you like to see her!?" She said excitedly. The whole room was filled with shouts of 'Yes!', 'Yeah', and 'Show us!' by everyone in the guild. "Alright!" Lucille took the key from her pocket. "Open gate of the Locks, Locksmith!" She said as she slashed the key through the air. A bright yellow form took shape beside Lucille then disappeared to show a busty young woman, who looked to be from Medieval times. The woman had yellow slanted eyes framed by dark purple bangs; her hair fell down a little past the middle of her back and contained several braids throughout her hair. She wore a light brown leather looking bikini that formed into a corset that showed some cleavage; the straps criss-crossed and the length of the corset stopped above her naval. She wore a brown choker, and had two leather straps on both of her biceps as well as two metal arm plates that ran from her elbow to her wrist. She wore brown shorts with a tan colored belt that had four sets of keys on rings attached to the belt. Along with two lavender colored shawls of fabric that attached to the sides of her belt and stopped to just above her knees, she wore brown stockings that went up to her thigh and dark brown, lace-up boots. "Hm, you've already summoned me for the second time? What's the occasion?" The woman said nonchalantly. Lucille crossed her arms behind her back. "I just wanted to show you off to everyone! Guys, this is Locksmith, or Locky as I like to call her." Which Lucille received a grumbled "Don't call me Locky." from Locksmith.

Erza walked forward. "So what can she do?" She asked with curiosity.

"Oh! She can open any lock, just by using the keys she has around her belt. And also," Lucille smirked as she looked at everyone, mainly the boys. "She can unlock a person's heart." Many of the girls gasped, but the boys seemed to recoil a bit. "She can unlock a person's heart about certain things. For instance, if we need information they won't give that is Important, or if the person is under a spell and under someone's control, she can unlock their heart to snap them out of it. It depends on the situation really. But she can definitely unlock someone's heart on the subject of love." She said smiling. Locksmith only sighed and continued for Lucille. "However, if the person does not wish to admit who they like or love and their strong enough, then it is possible for them to cancel out my magic."

Natsu smiled. "This is definitely a key worthy of you, Lucille! You wanted to unlock your powers and you did! It's only fitting that this is the sort of key you'd make." He said as he put his arm around Lucille's shoulders. Lucille giggled. "You have a point dad!"

"Hey, Lucille! Can Locksmith try unlocking our hearts?! I don't mind, I'm sure everyone else doesn't either." Natalie asked with a devilish grin.

"I, for one, am against this idea." Max said with authority. "Oh c'mon Max-niiichan! It'll be fun! Besides little Lucille finally got her magic and created her very own key. It's only fitting that we should be her guinea pigs." Lydia said as she poked Max. Most of the guys sided with Max, but the girls were all for the idea.

Lucille smiled. "Alright! What do you want her to unlock your hearts for? Information?"

Juvia began to swoon. "Juvia thinks the topic should be love!" Gray smacked a hand to his forehead. He felt for the guys. He knew they probably had crushes and most definitely didn't want everyone to know. Especially if the girls they liked were in the guild.

Lucille jumped on top of a table and pointed at Juvia. "Alright! You got it, Auntie Juvia! But to be fair. How about you say the hair color of the one you like. Is that fair?" She asked, genuinely. Everyone seemed to nod. "Okay! Locksmith, unlock their hearts about the one they likes' hair color!" Locksmith nodded as she raised her hands in front of her. The keys on her belt glowed yellow as did her hands. The keys unlatched from the rings and into the air. They floated for a couple seconds before heading straight for the teens. One by one, each key shot straight to their hearts, and turned. "Now, say their hair color." Locksmith commanded. As if in a trance, they answered.

"Red." Said Natalie. After she answered, the key left and returned to Locksmith's belt, and Natalie returned to her senses. Which meant so would everyone else. "Woah, did it work?" Lucille nodded which cause Natalie to blush a little.

"Blue." Said Lydia.

"Blonde." Said Lance. Lucille and Lydia blushed, since they both had blonde hair.

"Black." Said Jax.

Cain struggled a bit, but answered. "Pink." Which caused him to blush as well as Natalie.

"…Brown." Naja hesitated before she answered. She shook her head and tsk'd at not struggling more. But this made Jax happy of course.

Max struggled quite a bit, as did Ray and Ultear. Locksmith could sense how much they didn't wish to answer, and she had to commend them for how much of a fight they were putting up. So since they were friends of Lucille, she decided to stop her magic by making it look as if they broke through it. Locksmith made an exaggerated tsk as the keys from Max, Ultear, and Ray returned to her. "Looks like they didn't feel like sharing." She said as she looked to Lucille. "Oh?" Lucille asked, but shrugged. "Can't be helped I guess. Thanks Locksy! You can go." She waved, but not before Locksmith said "Don't call me that!"

"Wow! She's amazing Lucille!" Mirajane said as she complimented her about Locksmith. "Thank you, Aunt Mira!" Lucille smiled.

Lucy suddenly grabbed Lucille's hand. "Wait, I just realized something!" Lucille looked at her questioningly. "Come with me!" She said as she began to drag Lucille out to the front of the guild. Everyone followed slowly behind.

And that's where I'm stopping! I decided to make this chapter much longer, since there was a lot to explain.

The part about Aquarius was a little difficult to write, still not over it.. But since the Spirit King called Lucy "my old friend" in the recent chapters, I decided it would be cute for him to call Lucille "young one" when she first begins. And since he also can control time in the real world, I decided to let him only let eight years pass in both the real world and the spirit world.

I hope you all like how I did this chapter and how she received her powers. Let me know what you think! I'd love to get some feed back.

(And I wonder if you can figure out who likes who yet..? Hehehe...)
