Emotionless
Chapter 53,
A/N: Hey guys, I'm back in step now since my exams are done with for the time being and will be updating regularly from now on. For those that don't know that's once a week at least. Also, I plan on making this timeline different than the original so it won't bore you and hopefully you won't see what coming. I doubt you will though since I don't even know that myself.
Oh yeah, and I'm still accepting OCs!

Normal Pov..
Lucy stood in front of the mirror, studying the look in her eyes and trying to figure out herself. After everything she had been through she expected them to be hollow or empty or something. At least angry, but ironically hers just look cold. It's fitting yet so different from who she used to be before all this time complication.
She sighed and combed back her bangs with her hand as she stared into her black eyes. They were strange, but at least she wouldn't be getting odd looks for her previous green and red eyes.
Now, her's were just a black hole of what they used to be. No more happiness, no more madness or anger.. just nothing but the coldness of the winter seas.
She remembers the last time she was in this apartment, she had been packing up before heading out to battle Leviathan Skull. What a pleasant memory to recall this place by. Lucy sighed, the price was great and easily fitted in her budget however the memories were unforgettable.. and not in a good way.
Stepping back from the mirror she looked her new outfit over. This outfit consisted of black skinny jeans with a black and white checkered belt with some chains, a black tank covered over by a guy's red and black flannel shirt, a few black bracelets, and her finisher dark green Hellsing styled coat.
She figured she would save her black leather armor for a more serious battle, such as Grimoire Heart or Oracion Seis. Battling dragons would work too, actually, Lucy thought.
Simple clothes she preferred for minor child's play types of things such as monster fighting, Phantom Lord war, or Eisenwald.
Eisenwald was the current guild they were about to face. Lucy found it sort of odd that Erza was afraid of facing them when Lucy saw them as child's play. Compared to dragons, they really were child's play though.
Lucy stared at her reflection again, remembering her tears and the pain of the past, the maximum betrayal, and everything that made her life feeling worst than hell.
Lucy raised a fist and brought it rushing forward towards the mirror but stopped before it could hit the mirror. Letting out a breath she unclenched her fist and turned away from the mirror. Grabbing a hair-tie she tossed her hair into a pony-tail then grabbed her black bag, keys, and leapt out of the window.
When Lucy arrived, Natsu, Lisanna, and Mirajane were already there. Gray and Erza were the late comers then, which meant Lucy was stuck with those three for the next five minutes. Five minutes too many for Lucy.
Mirajane was the first to turn her way, and the moment her eyes set on Lucy a gleam shown inside them that signaled danger. Fortunately Lisanna interrupted the future brawl or argument turn brawl by spotting her next. She fast-walked over to Lucy before Mirajane could get a grasp on the situation and sent Lucy a kind wave that almost gave Lucy a whiplash from the irony.
"Hey! You're the newest member right? I'm Lisanna and this is my best-friend Natsu and my older sister Mira!" Lisanna chirped happily, apparently the only person able to call Mirajane 'Mira'.
Lucy nodded, astounded by the chirping by the girl. "Lucy." She returned, still weirded out by the over-rated Lisanna in front of her. Edolas must have really changed her personality or maybe it was just the different dimension. Lucy didn't know.
Natsu took a whiff of the air, wrinkled his nose, then looked right at Lucy and said, "You smell odd."
His comment received a sharp elbow to the side delivered by Lisanna, a snort from Mirajane, and a sarcastic thank you from Lucy.
"What?" Natsu asked, clearly not understanding what was wrong with what he said.
"And do tell what she smells like, Natsu?" Erza's voice cut in, arriving with surprisingly no luggage. Lucy shook her head, guessing this was what was different about this Erza.
"Do you not need to bring anything?" Lucy asked her, still not used to the sight of Erza without a pile of luggage the size of an elephant. Erza shrugged and replied, "I just store what I need using my requip magic so I don't see why I would bring any."
Lucy nodded, now wondering why the other Erzas didn't do that as well.
"Stop smelling people Natsu, you're only making yourself look bad, well more." Gray's voice cut in, the last of the group to arrive.
"What was that snowflake?!" Natsu demanded, jumping into the brawl.
"Hard of hearing, molten brain?" Gray barked right back.
"Do I hear fighting?" Erza's warning cut in, noticing the strange looks from the civilians were giving them all.
"No ma'am!" The two chirped, arms around each other in an embrace.
Lucy wondered how it was that some things were different while other things just never changed. It seemed that no matter the dimension, the boys would always fear Erza over death itself.
"Now then, since we're all here, let's get going." Mirajane said, beating Erza to taking the lead, who was left glaring at Mirajane's back as she headed for the train.
The train ride wasn't the nicest in the world. For one, it was a few hours away before they would arrive. The second reason was because of the seating arrangements. Since there were six of them and the rooms were only meant for four, they were all squished together in sets of three.
On one seat, Erza was on the left, closest to the door. Lisanna was seated in the middle while Mirajane was at the window. The reason for this was because Lisanna prevented the two from getting into a fight, and Lucy was unfortunately serving for the same purpose with Natsu near the door and Gray by the window.
Let's just say it was a very unsettling arrangement, and Natsu was knocked out by Mirajane for turning green. So, he was leaning at an odd angle but only concerned by Lisanna while the other four could care less about the motion-sick dragon slayer.
After about an hour in the train ride, Erza decided it was time for conversation.
"So, what is your magic Lucy?"
Mirajane smirked, "Yes. What do you have, I bet it doesn't beat Demon Take-Over."
"It's not a contest, nii-san." Lisanna said, before later adding, "I use Animal Take-Over though. It'd be best you know our magic as well."
Gray shook his head but didn't say anything about Lucy already knowing what magic they use and went along with the routine. "I use Ice-make magic as you know already."
The five stared at Natsu, temporarily forgetting he had been knocked out, and Mirajane slapped his head hard causing his head to slam backwards into the wall, unfortunately waking him up with a migraine.
"Owwww!" Natsu wailed, clutching his head.
"Mira!" Shrieked Lisanna, but Mirajane didn't seem in the least bit guilty by her actions.
"What magic do you use, Natsu?" Erza demanded, and Lisanna was left looking worryingly at Natsu.
"Fire Dragon-Slayer Magic." He said, before forced unconscious again by Erza's steel covered fist.
Lisanna bit her cheek as to not cry out for her best friend's sake.
"Your turn, Lucy." Mirajane said, her arms crossed over her chest as she stared down at Lucy who was ignoring her and looking at the ceiling.
"I use Celestial magic, Hell magic, Mythical magic and Lost Soul magic."
"Lost Soul? I've never heard of it." Erza replied, interested.
"That's probably because I created it." Lucy told her, her own black eyes meeting Erza's brown. Everyone looked at her in surprise except Natsu who was unconscious and Gray who Lucy told when she 'first' joined.
"I'm impressed, I'll be waiting to see it in battle." Erza told her.
"I'm sure you will be." Lucy replied softly.
Lucy looked down at her two necklaces, that held her three types of keys, and wondered herself what her keys will have in store for her.
Since she knew that this time wouldn't be the same as before.. so she was left to the fateless world all in her own mercy.
Let's just say she wasn't looking forward to the future ahead.. because she really, really wasn't.
Well, there we go for this chapter. It wasn't much, but hey it's two chapters in two days right?
Also, if anyone has been wondering where Happy has been, I'll get to that later.
