Natsu barely had the energy to stand up again and as he did Lucy grabbed him by the shirt and pressed four keys to his chest.
"Lucy what are you doing?!" Natsu exclaimed as Lucy chanted something.
"I, Lucy Heartfilia, have gathered the 5 keys of the legendary Dragon constellations. I am here to summon the 5th dragon, the fire celestial dragon! COME FORTH!"
Natsu felt a pain in his body as he screamed in pain.
"I forgot to tell you," Lucy said as she stared him down, "This might hurt a bit."
Chapter 9: Goals
Natsu bellowed in pain as a golden light stained his skin yellow as his eyes shown golden light. Lucy didn't take her eyes off of the fire dragon slayer as he screamed in pain. The audience was silent as Natsu reacted to the pain. The guild members were stunned. They did not know what to say. The light dimmed out as Lucy stared at him. Once the light was gone, Natsu collapsed to the ground.
Lucy was speechless.
"It- it didn't work!" Lucy told herself as tears streamed down her cheeks. What she had just preformed was a removal spell. If the key was inside Natsu, the key would had came out already. But nothing happened. Lucy collapsed to her knees crying. The crowd still didn't say a word. The announcer, Toma, didn't call the match over because he wasn't sure what was happening.
Natsu opened his eyes grunting in pain as he slowly opened his eyes. There at an equal level to his face sat the Lucy Heartfilia he had been missing all of this time.
"What happened Lucy," Natsu asked. It was just like before. The Eclipse. Lucy had been crying. Natsu was there. Natsu was there to comfort her. Natsu was almost always there for Lucy.
"It… It didn't work! After *sniffle* after I tried so hard… it, it DIDN'T WORK!" Lucy whined as she cried in her hands. Then, a hand brushed her face. Lucy removed her hands from her face only to reveal Natsu's worried face. Lucy wiped away the tears and was able to stop panicking.
"Natsu, you are the key. I told you this once and I'll tell you again. At first I thought that the key was inside of you. I'm sorry that I caused you so much pain it's just tha-" Before Lucy could finish, Natsu interrupted her with a hug.
"Baka," he whispered in her ear, "Do you think I care?"
"The key was Igneel," Lucy stated. Natsu eyes widened as he ended the embrace. Lucy stood up only to cry again.
"I tried, I really did try! I'm sorry I didn't tell you before I just recently figured it out!" Lucy started as Natsu got up, "At first all I knew that you were the key so when I learned the removal of the key spell, I hesitated because I didn't want to cause you much pain. When I learned that Igneel was the key, I… I knew that if Igneel had stood before you one more time, you would be… you would be…"
"WHAT LUCY!? DO YOU REALLY THINK THAT ONE DRAGON WOULD MAKE ME HAPPY? YOU ARE MY HAPPINESS!" Natsu yelled only for him to blush the color of Erza's hair and for Lucy to turn pink. Luckily there is no sound to the Lacrima.
"What are they saying?" Makarvo asked himself
"Even Mavis may never know what they say," Macao responded.
"I know!" Happy exclaimed as the remaining guild members turned towards Happy, "They're in LOVE!"
"I, Um I…" Lucy began but was ended with a hand meeting hers.
"You ready to end this?" Natsu asked holding Lucy's hand firmly.
"Natsu! What are you?" Lucy started but before she could finish Natsu raised both Lucy's and his own hand up. His free right hand also went up with his pointer finger and thumb pointing up. Once Lucy saw this she understood. She was a part of Fairy Tail once again. She was with her friends again. She was with Natsu again. She also put her left hand up in the same way and the audience broke into cheers. Fairy Tail had won. Lucy had won. Lucy and Natsu won. They won for Fairy Tail.
As the match was declared over the announcer began to rapidly speak about Natsu's and Lucy's 'friendship'.
"She couldn't do it could she," Gramps stated.
'Couldn't do what?" Levy questioned as she walked up to the old man sitting on the balcony wall.
"She couldn't deliver the final blow," Gramps finished, "She could had never done that to a former guild mate especially Natsu."
As the players were teleported back to the arena, many cheers were for fairy tail. Lucy tried to escape the cheers by running away but Natsu held her hand too tightly.
"Natsu, let go of me! I need to-"
"There's no way I'm letting you escape again. Never again," Natsu finished as he leaned closed to the girl.
"What eh!" But before she could say another word… she was flicked in the head.
"HEY!" Lucy screamed as Natsu ran away. Lucy chased the boy around the arena but stopped when she heard many giggles from the crowd. Lucy then stopped, turned away from Natsu, and blushed. Natsu only cracked a smile as Lucy went back to her own base.
"That was an awesome fight, Lucy!" someone complimented as she turned around to see Erza bruised with a smile on her face.
"Yeah, I have to agree with Titania! You were pretty good," Gajeel commented.
"How did you become so strong?" Gray asked, "After you battled ash-brains here before I knew you were powerful but not this powerful!?"
"What did you say?" Natsu questioned
"That's right you heard me loud and clear ASH-BRAINS"
"Oh you," And before you knew in they were brawling. Lucy could only laugh. Just like the good ol' days.
"BOYS CUT IT OUT!" Erza demanded which caused for the two to instantly break up. Laxus just walked away.
"LOOK ITS WIZARD SAINT LAXUS!" A crowd member yelled. Laxus froze. When he looked up to see who it was it was Mirajane yelling that with a wide smile on her face. Next to her was the rest of Thunder Legion and his grandfather, smiling.
As Natsu and Lucy finally joined the rest of the guild someone finally asked the long awaited question.
"Lucy?" Wendy asked in a questioning tone, "Are you a dragon slayer?"
Lucy remembered her asking that same question during the Cana vs 'Claire' (Lucy) fight.
"Yes I am," she finally responded.
"How are you a dragon slayer? Mira asked.
"Well I did some research and found out a type of key called the Crystal keys," Lucy explained as she held the clear keys as they glistened in the sunlight, "They represent the 5 dragon constellations."
"Wow what can they do?" Gray questioned.
"Well each key represents a different element; water, air, earth, fire, and stardust. Each key holds a dragon that wields the power of it's element. If you are the owner of that key, the dragon will teach you celestial dragon slayer magic. Because I do not have the fire key, I can't use Celestial fire dragon slayer magic." As Lucy said this last sentence she glanced over at Natsu in the back but quickly looked away.
"Hey! Did any of you guys hear what Natsu told Lucy to make her blush that much?" Cana asked obviously drunk. Lucy's face turned red. Natsu panicked. Gray smirked.
"HE SAID THA-" But before Gray could finish he was interrupted by a punch in the face by Natsu. Erza's face also turned red.
"That seems like personal information that they would like to keep to themselves," Erza stuttered.
"NALU FOREVER!" Mira exclaimed.
"WHAT?" Lucy and Natsu yelled simultaneously.
"Oh nothing just your ship name! You guys look so cute together!" Mira stated, "BTW Sorcerer Weekly wants the both of you on the cover page!"
"Oh NO" Lucy yelled.
"Oh YES! It's the talk of the year! NALU will be written of the front thanks to yours truly," Mira exclaimed as she did her little fan girl squeal.
Lucy fainted. She straight up lost consciousness but, of course, he was there to catch her.
"AWWWWW!" The guild sighed but Natsu was angry.
"SHUT UP! SHE FAINTS BUT ALL YOU GUYS DO IS ABSOLUTLY NOTHING! GOODNESS IM TAKING HER TO THE IMFERERY." Natsu demanded.
The guild was silent as Natsu scooped the unconscious girl up, bridal style, and walked her to the infirmary.
"I'll go help him!" Wendy exclaimed with her face bright red.
"I told you they're in LOVE!" Happy and Mira exclaimed in unison.
