Ross's POV, In the Middle of the Woods on the Outskirts of Town

"PULL" I yelled out to Gajeel with my bow drawn. Gajeel then threw three of his Iron Daggers into the air, then I pulled three arrows from my quiver and shot them all at the same time. However, none of them hit their mark, and now i'm worried about where they're going to land. "Damnit, I missed again!."

"Ross, maybe instead of trying to hit three targets at the same time right off the bat, maybe you should work towards it by hitting a few bigger targets" Suggested Lucy watching from the sidelines.

"Hitting a big target is easy Lucy. I need to be able to hit any target no matter of bigger or small it is. Plus the right place to strike someone isn't always as obvious" I replied. I mean I get what she means, but I already knew how to shoot an arrow at a bigger target, now I gotta improve my skills. "Now do it again Gajeel, and PULL!"

You're only saying that because you want to take down Nikolai human. If that's your plan, a simple bow and arrow won't do you any good. What you need to do is improve your Snow Dragon Magic. Ummm, if I recall correctly, you said that I wasn't ready for these types of spells. What makes you so sure i'm ready now? I'm not. But…...Nikolai scares me, and since he has the tome, he can create new duplicates of himself and teach them new forms of lost magic. If you and your team are gonna have a chance at beating him, you're gonna be at your best……...Son of a bitch. Not even a year in this world, and already I have archnemesis who wants to kill me. That's got to be a record. *sigh*...so what do we do Bellaruse?

Lucy's POV

"I don't feel any different." I said.

"What are you talking about blonde?" asked Aria pouting.

"That new magic I got that I used to beat you, I thought it would've made feel a bit different. But I feel the same as I did before."

"Well of course you feel the same way you idiot. Although your new magic is a form of Lost Magic from my Master's tome-"

"Your masters'? Last time I checked that book belonged to the dragon resting inside of that guy's head over there" I said pointing to Ross, who had somehow gotten into a fight with Gajeel. THe two were crossing swords, Gajeel with his Iron Dragon Sword, and Ross, he was using an Ice Sword. "Where'd he get a sword made out of ice?"

"He may be called the Snow Dragon Slayer blonde, but his abilities aren't limited to just snow. With the proper training, he can employ any form of ice or cold magic. I'm surprised that he didn't tell you that" She gloated. She shot me with this smug little grin, so I looked the other way…...Although I may have let my hand slip a little bit and it may have touched her face, and it may have left a red mark across her face and knocked her onto her back.

"Owwwww" she groaned.

"Payback for Moonbright snake-head. So there." I said, sticking my tongue at her. I still can't believe that I beat someone like her, well Juvia's help of course but still. Lucy the Celestial God Slayer, oh man I really love the sound of that. I can't wait to use this power more often. Maybe I can use it to get back at Natsu.

Lucy's Imagination

"HAHAHAHA, how do you like me now Natsu? Still think I'm weak now?" I'd be standing over him with my fist engulfed in my God Slayer magic, standing over a defeated Natsu with the entire guild cheering me on.

"LUCY! LUCY! LUCY! LUCY! LUCY! LUCY! LUCY!"

Back to Reality

"Lucy? Hey Lucy, anyone in there?" I snapped out of my head and saw that Ross had finished his fight with Gajeel, which had given him a black eye. "You had this weird grin on your face, you alright?" he asked.

"OH umm, yeah i'm alright, just thinking about something funny, what's up?"

"What, did you forget? It's your turn." he responded

"Turn for what?"

"Did you really forget why he made us come out here, or were you never really paying attention to what he was saying?" asked a red faced Aria.

"Ohhhhh that explains why LUcy slapped you across the face. Nice job Lucy!" Ross said giving me a thumbs up, " But back to the point, don't you remember? We came out here to train. You need to master you new magic. You may know a few techniques that Bellaruse taught you back at Moonbright, but a few simple parlor tricks aren't going to help you in a real fight."

"But how am I supposed to learn anything new? You gave that guy your book"

"Got it covered." he said reaching into his jacket, "TA-DA!" he shouted holding up a couple of torn pages from his book, "Seriously, you didn't think I was gonna give everything to Nikolai now did you?" Then he started clutching his head. If I had to say, i'm guessing Bellaruse didn't like the fact that he tore a few pages out of her book. "Yeah I get it Bellaruse, ALRIGHT! I understand that the book needs to be kept in good condition, but I was desperate. Besides how else is Lucy going to learn more Celestial God Sla-" Suddenly he clamped his hand over his mouth, but it didn't look like he was in control.

Back to Ross.

You need to keep your voice down human! If I recall correctly, when we created that God Slayer Lacrima, you caused city wide disturbance, left a giant crater in the middle of the woods, and shattered every single window in town. Just think of what could happen to you AND Lucy if word got out that you were the ones to cause that. Especially Lucy's former teammates. Huh, we agree on something, that's scary Bellaruse, very scary. Trust me human, it is not a pleasant experience for me either. Feels like Death just slid his finger down my back. Ok a little dark, let's try to keep this stor- *clamps hand over mouth* Gotta be careful when i'm doing that. Ok where was I ummmm, oh right, training.

"Alright Lucy, in order for you to master your newfound God Slayer Magic, Bellaruse has agreed to help you master it." I said

"How long did you annoy her for?" asked Lucy

"5 hours straight. I may never be able to get all that time back, but hey it was worth it." I said trying to keep a fake smile, while in reality I was extremely annoyed. YOu know, you'd think Bellaruse would've helped me out on this one, considering I have no fucking clue as to what I am doing here! I do not know the first thing about God Slayer magic, other than what I learned from the anime: It's even stronger than Dragon Slayer magic, and that the way it's taught is unknown, except for one who learned it from a book. I'm not sure what her name was though. "So, Bellaruse has agreed to show you the ropes of your God Slaying magic, but on one condition."

"What's the condition, and does it involve her constantly yelling at me because almost every single thing i'll do is going to be wrong?" asked Lucy, at least she knows her deal.

Oh shut up human! I wasn't going to criticize that badly. Besides, I like to think of it as negative reinforcement. Bellaruse, everyone knows that negative reinforcement is just some bullshit excuse for people to find a way to mentally abuse people without getting into trouble because they "require discipline" instead of trying to work with them. You're weak. Love you too Bellaruse.

"Yes and no. She'll teach you how to use your magic, but in return, you'll need to use it on her" I said pointing to surprised Aria.

"What, me?!" She raged.

"Now that I think about it I shouldn't be surprised she'd want this. And let's face it Aria, you still owe us some answers about Moonbright and all that crap that went down back there."

"And like I told you before: Do you really expect me to divulge that information to the likes of you?" she asked.

"Yes I do, and if you know what's good for you, you'll say something before I get Bellaruse out here so she can smash you into the side of a tree." She was unphased, she knows i'm making empty threats. She knows I can't have her dying on me, so I can't lay a finger on her.

But Lucy, on the other hand, said Bellaruse, would probably jump at the chance to beat some information out of her after what Aria's former teammates did to her and the water wizard. Speaking of which, where did that little raindrop go anyway? Oh I had her go talk to the we had Aria as a prisoner, I had to come up with a reason as to why she was with I may have told her to tell the master that she would be joining the guild. …...You spell the end of this guild, I just know it boy. Please don't call me boy again.

"Hmph, aw well, can't say that I didn't give you a way out. Alright Lucy, time to get this started. Gajeel, keep watch over Aria while me, Lucy and Bellaruse practice."

"OH great, another babysitting gig thrown onto me. LIke I didn't see that coming."

"Oh stop complaining Gajeel. If you want, i'll let you punch her if she tries anything funny."

"Huh, sounds good. I'll take that deal, but you can't have me doing this all the time iceman. I'm starting to get bored of this crap."

"Eh, snow lizard was better. Alright Bellaruse you ready?" As I'll ever be. "Alright here goes." I opened my left palm, and slammed my right fist onto it, "Ice Make:" I think you all know what's going to happen next

*breaks fourth wall* Eh, i've given up at this point, it's become a regular thing. Anyway, a magic circle appeared beneath me, "SNOW DRAGON!" A giant dragon completely made out of ice rises from the circle, with me on top of it. "Alright Bellaruse, time to take control of your new body." Oh finally, my body again. Suddenly the ice dragon beneath me began to move and stretch itself….or herself at this point, and let a mighty roar.

Coming back to Lucy's POV

Um…...I'm having a hard time describing what I just saw. He can actually create a body for Bellaruse.?

"Ohhhh yes, I missed his. It's been so long since I had my own body again." said Bellaruse

"Bellaruse what are you talking about? I made you your own body back when we were on ,which was just last week, right before we joined the guild." ROss said.

"I meant a "real" body worthy of a real Snow Dragon. The last one you made was barely worth putting in a drink"

"Sooooooo,, you can switch bodies?" I asked. When Bellaruse turned to look at me, i'll be honest, I was a little terrified. I just realized that THIS right here was a real dragon, a REAL Dragon, and the thought is very terrifying. If it's that easy for Ross to create a new body for her, what's stopping her from taking control of him so she can escape from Ross's body?

"I'm bound to his body Miss Lucy" Wait what, did she just read my- "Mind? Yes I did. I still have my previous abilities, along with the abilities I couldn't use while inside his body!" she yelled, pointing her claw 4 inches from his face. "It's good to actually see what you really look like Lucy. You're actually extremely beautiful."

"Oh please, she's not that cute!' yelled Aria.

"Can I eat her Ross?" asked Bellaruse.

"No not yet. Let's wait till she tries something stupid. So enough chit chat, let's get started." Ross said, again. "I'll wait till you're done Bellaruse, then we can start working on that new spell." Ross said, then jumped onto Bellaruse's back.

"Alright then. Now Lucy, you've already learned three spells, which apparently you've managed to learn in a short amount of time. However three spells isn't enough, so today, i'm going to teach you a series of new Celestial God Slayer abilities. Today, we will be focusing on a spell called Celestial Solar Flare."

"Celestial Solar Flare?" I asked.

"Yes. This spell works as a whip made entirely out celestial energy. I see you're proficient with a whip, and with with two whips in the hands of someone like you, you might be lethal." she said. "Well, either that or a, well you know. *giggles* "*disgusted groans* OH my god!

"Where the hell did you get that idea from. Ugh!" I groaned.

"Yeah, I forgot to mention, she's a bit of a perv Lucy, so yeah." Ross said.

"You think you would've told me that sooner. Now that I know that, I don;t want her digging her way through my head."

"OH calm down Lucy, she's not that pervy. Now let's not get distracted-"

"No, no I want to make this absolutely clear. Neither one of you are to go digging anywhere inside my head at all! I don't care What the situation calls for, you are not to do that" I yelled as loud as I could.

"uhh Lucy" Ross began to say, but I wasn't about to let him get a word in.

"No, I don't want to hear it! I don't want you saying anything either Snow Lizard!"I yelled to Bellaruse. She just layed there with a bored expression on her face. "Don't have anything snarky to say dragon, huh?"

"Lucy?" Ross asked again.

"What is it Ross?!"

"Lucy, looked at your left hand. I'm pretty sure that whip wasn't in your hand before." What whip. I looked at my hand and saw that my God Slayer magic was consuming my arm, and in my hand was a whip made completely out of my magic's aura. "Where did this come from?"

"You created it Lucy!" Ross exclaimed. " Celestial God Solar Flare is the first spell in that page I ripped out of the tome. In order to call it out, we needed to get you angry, hence the solar part of the spell's name."

"I didn't expect you to have an outburst like that though. THen again, based on what I just asked you that does seem like the appropriate response."

"You think? It would've been nice to know that all I needed to do to call this out was to get angry." I said.

"But then it wouldn't have been genuine. Besides, what you really need to call it out is a desire to use it. In this case, using the closest thing possible to beat the crap out of us." Hmm, that gives me an idea. I pulled out my other whip and warped them both around Ross's arms.

"Uhh Lucy, what are you doing" Ross said Nervously. I gave him an answer, by pulling him off of Bellaruse's back and down towards me.

"I'll tell you what i'm doing" I said, dropping my second whip from my right hand and punched him straight up in the face. "We're training, That's what!"

"Oh now this is going to be interesting." said Bellaruse.

Unknown Location. NO POV

"Do we know where Aria is?" asked Nikolai. The area he was in was black as the void, not even a single shred of light from another room. The only notable thing in the room was a projection from a lacrima in the center of the room.

"Yes Master Nikolai. We believe her to be in the clutches of the group of Fairy Tail wizards that we encountered at the decoy site." said a projection of a young man.

"So she couldn't even beat them? Especially that worthless excuse for a Snow Dragon Slayer?!"

"Unfortunately yes Master. With your approval we could retrieve her-"

"No."

"Wait what do you mean no?"

"I mean, she will not be rescued. In fact, she is no longer welcomed within this guild. If she could not be trusted to kill a few Fairy Tail wizards, then what good would she do?!"

"Master please calm down-"

"No I will not calm down! Get the hell out of my face, now!" ordered Nikolai. The second that he did, the projection went out. He started flailing his arms around all over the place, cursing under his breath, and then he let out a Snow Dragon Roar, which disappeared into the black void.

She won't say a thing to anyone. She thinks too highly of you, what makes you think she'll say anything to save her own hide?

"I don't, but I don't like taking chances like that. She needs to be eliminated before she can cause any damage to my plan. That Dragon Slayer cannot be allowed to live! Call him up, I need to speak to him!"

Yes Master! said the Voice. AFter about two minutes, the lacrima lit up again.

"Ah Nikolai, to what do I owe the pleasure of this conversation?" The man on the screen was a old man. THe only notable things that could be seen were his long white beard, and an eyepatch covering his left eye.

"Hello Hades. I need you and your guild to take care of something for me."
