Emotionless
Chapter 45, Eclipse
I am suddenly upset remembering a few things but thanks to the comments of my oh-so-awesome-readers I decided to take my mind off it by writing out the next couple chapters. Life sucks sometimes but that's why there is fantasy and Fairy Tail.
Disclaimer: I do not own Fairy Tail
Lucy's Pov..
Morning came by sooner than I expected and I awoke to the sound of the lazy yawns of my dragon friends. One by one a pair of sleepy eyes would open before another's eyes soon followed after until everyone was awake.
Knowing Jade wasn't the nicest dragon in the morning I leapt off her back and wandered through the crowd of dragons surrounding the area. This would be the last time I would ever see them, knowing once I destroy the Eclipse Gate time will no longer be able to be traveled through.
And I would have some cleaning up to do. With Kira dead, I now only have one more person to.. kill in order to make sure time won't go off course further. There are many places out in time that can be taken advantage of, Rogue proved that to me. His future self revealed in my original world had arrived in order to take control of the dragons freed from Eclipse and bend them to his will.
I would feel sorry for the dragons if I could, meeting them now I know they are really kind dragons and the one's I had met in my real world when the dragons took over had been controlled by Acnologia for far too long, and to see their world covered by the human scent had angered them for the lost of their home.
I myself though am an abomination of time itself as well, because in every moment of the day we make a choice, and that creates another dimension where we had made a different choice. There are probably an infinite number of dimensions out there, and I have only seen two.
For coming to Fairy Tail when Lisanna returned I was met with a different Fairy Tail that would leave me out for the sake of their old and presumed dead missing member. They were never my real Nakanama, the one's who had betrayed me when I opened the Eclipse Gate.
It would seem that there cannot be more than one me when I pass through time, Rogue managed it because he killed and absorbed his best friend Sting, and I certainly will not be doing that myself. Just because my heart is black now, doesn't make me heartless.
My own shadow sacrificed itself to allow me to live, and repair this timeline and even time itself, because when Future Rogue went back in time using the Eclipse, he had messed up time, and I only further brought destruction to the world. Kira may be gone, but there could still be more that have found the Eclipse and had passed through, though I doubt it. For now, I will stick to finding Future Rogue.
He must have known of my disappearance, and has probably been jumping through time searching for me, and to kill me so he can complete his plans without having a messed up time screw it up.
When I jump through that Eclipse Gate, I may not destroy it. Though the least I can do is destroy it from the dragons side that way a threat will not enter and they cannot leave, no matter what time or dimension arrives. That way, there will be no possible chance that the dragons can pass through the portal and send the lands to ruin like they had done in my original time.
Thing is, I will literally be hopping through time avoiding Future Rogue to the best of my abilities while also trying to find him and kill him. And until he lays dead, I cannot destroy the Eclipse Gate.
Why did it have to be me to deal with all this time mess? Future Rogue and all the types of dimensions just make it ten times harder than it originally would have been.
Oh well, if I learned anything about myself over the years, it's that I have survived anything that has been thrown my way. Another thing, is that it's actually pretty good I don't have my emotions, because passing through all the dimensions I will be jumping into, would really send me into an emotional turmoil. Maybe that's why I was chosen to do this, because my heart is still fighting for the good unlike Kira.
On another account I will be seeing my celestial keys again, I'm sure. Knowing when I first jumped through the Eclipse Gate I had already slaughtered my spirits after they had betrayed and openly attacked me. My spirits had never been on my side, but who knows maybe in another - a different - dimension they will be different.
Hopefully when the Eclipse is finally destroyed I will be placed in a world that accepts me, where I won't be betrayed by my friends and Nakanama. Though I bet that's too much to hope for, so I won't.
Also I won't lose the strength and power I have progressed through so far. When I had first regained my memories and strength it was when Kei had first faced Lucy from her own time, from there I had taken her place. More powerful in just a day's time because it wasn't her, it was me and the strength and power I had gained from being in my original world and through the strength I gained after passing through Eclipse.
So fortunately for me I won't have to train hard to regain everything or risk the chance of being emotional. Literally.
For my life forward from this, I have decided that I will face time with everything I have in search of Future (Dark) Rogue and to not die.
To survive, and that is how it will always be.
Normal Pov..
Grahkrindrog arrived before noon, his black and red scales shining against the sunlight while his blue eyes seemed to have grown brighter to the point that they were practically glowing.
Lucy had already bid her last goodbyes and was now facing the King - Grahkrindrog with only Jade and Brendonkrah stood by her sides to see her off.
"Lucy, Zu'u fund med wah ofan daar wah hi ful hi fen neh vodahmaan mii ahrk daar lein. Aal nii aam hi pruzah. / Lucy, I would like to give this to you so you will never forget us and this world. May it serve you well." Jade told Lucy, giving her one of her larger canine fangs to Lucy, she held gently in her mouth.
Lucy gently removed the fang before examined it. "Daar los hin? / This is yours?" Lucy asked Jade, who nodded in response. Lucy ran her thumb along the smooth texture of the marrow before tucking it in her hip, making sure the point didn't pierce her skin before saying, "Nox hi Osvanir, Zu'u fen brah nii pruzah. / Thank you Jade, I will use it well."
Brendonkrah was next, and he passed her one of his army shaded scales. The scale itself was beautiful and blocked out the light that tried to touch it, and was the size of her fist. She softly removed the scale he held in his claws before putting it on the other side of her hip before bringing her forehead to his in thanks. When she pulled away she was hugged by the neck of Jade, who nudged her shoulder before pulling away with a soft smile on her lips.
"Vonok joor, ahrk aal hi lahney vahzah wah dovah ven. / Farewell mortal, and may you live true to the dragon way." Jade told Lucy, to which Lucy nodded in reply before turning back so she was facing Grahkrindrog who had been watching the exchange in silence.
"Rodraan? / Prepared?" He asked her, and accepted her nod before shifting to his side allowing access to Lucy who quickly climbed up his large back before settling in between his shoulder blades, right below his neck and held a grip on two of his many spikes.
Slowly he began to lift from the ground as his wings heaved upwards carrying the duo into the sky and high above the clouds to the point where the dragons were just mere specks to her eyes.
The ride was silent but peaceful as they traveled through the sky until Grahkrindrog suddenly spoke, "Lucy Heartifilia, Zu'u kent nox hi fah grin hi lost buld wah dii fron. Nii forveyk dii mindok tir lost ni aax dii fron, to hi tul kent daal wah hin lein Zu'u tul nox hi, Dovah Hil. / Lucy Heartifilia, I must thank you for the bonds you have formed to my kin. It eases my soul knowing an outsider had not harmed my kin, though you still must return to your world I still thank you, Dragon Heart."
Lucy smiled at his words before replying, "Naan tiid, ahrk Zu'u nox hi fah du zey dahik Zu'u los tir. / Any time, and I thank you for not devouring me because I am an outsider."
"Zu'u nis saag Zu'u hadn't lor do nii to! / I can't say I hadn't thought about it though!" The duo exploded into laughs at his comment before the laughter died to and Lucy suddenly said, "dreh ni uful, Zu'u fund ahk. Ahrk kogaan naak Kira fah zey. / Don't worry, I would too. And thanks for eating Kira for me."
"Hin valokein. / Your welcome." Grahkrindrog replied, and the two went quiet again.
By the time the sun was beginning to fall the two had arrived into the water lands, and right in the middle of the ocean stood out the Eclipse Gate, though it was slanted backwards slightly by the pressure of the water.
"There it is." Lucy whispered in her own tongue, staring at the gate from where Grahkrindrog had stopped.
After a short silence Grahkrindrog spoke, "Hi lost gein edun wah himdah nau skuld, Zu'u fen hiif hi do rahlo. / You have one shot to land on the gate, I will help you of course."
Lucy replied in agreement before Grahkrindrog leered back to separate some flight room and took three deep breaths.
And then, he dove forward straight towards the Eclipse Gate.
Lucy stood slowly, her feet covered in her black aura to keep her from falling backwards off the great Dragon King's back before running forward on his neck and leaping off, her body falling towards the gate, but not with enough speed.
"Guur, Lucy Heartifilia. Aal daar mul aam hi pruzah ko hin wundun! / Goodbye, Lucy Heartifilia. May this strength serve you well in your travels!" True to his word a sudden red vortex hit Lucy full power sending her rocketing straight at the Eclipse Gate at warp speed, the red vortex absorbing into her skin and awakening a new power inside of her. Though Lucy didn't have time to think on the Dragon King's gift to her and immediately warped herself in her black aura, her new red aura, and her recovered darker red and light green auras. She brought her left fist back before slamming it forward hitting the Gate right through the center.
At first nothing happened, but then a small crack appeared followed by many others until the Eclipse Gate shattered and collapsed in on itself, propelling Lucy forward blindly into the darkness.
After what seemed like eternity for Lucy, images suddenly appeared in front of her through every side. Thousands and thousands of images filled her vision of every dimension and timeline as she was sent forward. Suddenly she caught the image of Dark Rogue standing on a cliff looking right at her before it disappeared from her vision as she was sent further in time until she suddenly came to a halt in front of hundreds of dimensions for Fairy Tail.
However the images were flashing in front of her too quickly to see what was going on and suddenly she felt very light-headed.
Blindly she leaped forward with the last of her strength and felt herself swallowed up by one of the many portals before she felt like she was falling.
Darkness crept on every part of her vision and she suddenly felt herself swallowed up by the world.
Literally.
Well, there we go. I decided to change my idea slightly do to a new idea that suddenly just came to me and it has extended this story further.. not that you will be able to tell the difference. XD
In any case, the story is just getting started. If anyone has a time-travel community you might want to add this into the community because it will be involving a lot of time-travel.
Thanks again for everyone's awesome support and I'll have the next update in soon!
Later,
