Reaching the palace of lightness, Lucy burst through the door and found the King, as usual sitting in his throne. The sight that was unusual was that Ophiuchus was sitting beside the king. Usually these two men didn't get along. After all, one served evil and the other ruled over good.
However, when they both looked at her, Lucy began to get excited. "I approve," she said, nodding her head majestically. The two men smiled at each other, another odd sight. But not an unwanted one. Lucy felt perhaps these two could actually work together to achieve perfect balance, something that everyone wanted.
Ophiuchus knelt before Lucy, and she unclasped the gorgeous piece of jewellery. However, it didn't feel right to give Ophiuchus such a feminine piece. Looking up at the king, she saw he had already anticipated this and was holding a tray out to her. Taking it, she offered the items on the tay to Ophiuchus. He looked over them, his eyes being drawn immediately to a crown much alike to King's.
The differences were in the colour scheme. Where King's was gold, Ophiuchus's was black. Lucy instantly felt tired. She no longer had those incredibly huge powers to feed her energy. But she felt strong, hugely so. She had also shrunk back to her normal size and lost most of the muscle tone she had gained.
But here were the differences she could definitely sense. She was physically stronger. Not as strong as she had been but much stronger than before. She also felt like she still had some evil inside her, a side effect the king had warned her about at the start.
But the main difference was just how much her magical power had risen. She felt as if she could easily open all the golden spirits she owned and hold them out for days perhaps. It felt amazing.|
Then she remembered the things she had done while Queen of Darkness. Falling to her knees, she broke down, sobs wracking her body. Fairy Tail would now be attacked by this new guild, perhaps connected to the people who had attacked her.
It clicked in that instant. They had her keys. Her beloved friends. Now lying on the ground, crying he heart out, Lucy didn't even here her spirits enter the room. The first thing that made her aware of their presence was their embraces. "We love you Lucy, no matter what." They said, making her cry even harder.
After a while, Lucy got the tears under control. However, she would have to live with the guilt of allowing so many bad things to happen for years to come.
The king, feeling Lucy was a bit better now called her over and led her into a private room. It was filled with celestial weapons, all different types. As she gazed around, she saw a beautiful bow, which she went over and stroked, feeling the slight magical energy it was giving off.
Seeing her pleading gaze, the king gave in and handed her the bow. After all, she had saved the two worlds by stepping up to take on the role. But a weapon was not the reason he had brought her in here.
"Lucy" he boomed. "As you can feel, your magic levels are so high that you easily common every spirit in the celestial world at once. However, because of this same fact, the silver keys now are unusable to you." With this sentence, Lucy nearly broke down again. Even if she did get her keys back, some wouldn't be able to be summoned by her.
"Do not despair old friend. You have now unlocked the highest form of celestial magic, generally only available to the rulers of the celestial planes. You now unlock the next five spells, which work the same as Urano Meltria but on a much grander level. However, please don't go using these in simple bar fights in Fairy Tail. They will main or sometimes kill."
Lucy nodded and King walked up to her and placed his hands over her head. In a flash of golden light, words appeared in Lucy's brain, along with a basic understanding of each spell. Thinking through them, she gasped at the array of new ways to fight she had now been granted. "Thank you so much." She said.
Now she had a way to fight for her keys.
At Fairy Tail…
Natsu stood up, his eyes widening. A second later Laxus could be seen to be pulling Freed down the stairs and rushing outside the guild, Natsu quickly following.
Everyone looked around, puzzled. Then Wendy told them what was going on. With a huge cheer the rest of the guild ran outside, Jellal leading the pack. Before them was Lucy, the light of fairy tail. But she was different. Her eyes, usually chocolate in colour were almost black.
Also, the more powerful mages could sense how much stronger Lucy was. As she ran towards them, she shot Natsu and Gajeel two seriously scary glares before smiling at the rest of the guild and hugging every single member.
Natsu and Gajeel sweatdropped, both nervous. "I'm guessing she hasn't forgiven us then." Natsu murmured, worry etched on his face. Gajeel shuddered. "I'd say not."
