Yukino's P.O.V
I was surprised throughout the whole battle between Sting, Rogue, and Lucy. Not only did she beat them but they didn't even manage to hit her once and after the battle she didn't even look tired.
Once the battle was over Lucy called her exceed and turned towards me to get her mission approved. When I looked at the paper I saw it was a decade quest, but what surprised me more than anything that happened today was when she said
"We'll be back before a week"
" But this is a decade quest" I said surprised
"I said we'll be back before a week" Lucy said
I nodded and Lucy started to walk off with her exceed. Then I heard someone say
"She's the Queen of Sabers. The STRONGEST Saber."
After Lucy left everyone was silent and in a daze until I remembered that Sting and Rogue where still unconscious and hurt.
"Orga and Rufus take Sting and Rogue to the infirmary" I said panicking
Everyone snapped out of their daze and rushed to help Sting and Rogue.
(Time skip)
I was behind the bar counter cleaning a dirty glass cup thinking.
It had been a whole day since Rogue and Sting's fight against Lucy. They were still unconscious in the infirmary. Its also been a whole day since Lucy left for her mission with Mocha and they still have not returned but that is only to be expected since she went on a decade mission. No matter how strong Lucy is she wouldn't be able to complete a decade quest in a day. That's just impossible. It's called a decade mission for a reason, the missions are so hard that it usually takes 10 years to complete. I thought
Sudden the guild doors burst open and the guild members grew silent. I looked up and gasped to see the figure in the doorway.
Lucy's P.O.V.
I had just finished my decade quest with Mocha and was ready to go back to the guild with my reward so I could buy food for me and Mocha. Finding a place to stay wouldn't be a problem since I could just think of house, snap my fingers, and let my genie magic do the rest.
I thought of Sabertooth, snapped my fingers and Mocha and me appeared in front of the guild.
"We're finally back" Mocha said
I only nodded my head
"And we got a large reward too" Mocha said
I nodded my head again in agreement
"We should hurry up and give our share of the reward to the guild. We need to go shopping and I wanna tour the town we'll be staying in for a while" I said emotionlessly
Mocha only nodded this time
"Hey Mocha" I said
"Huh" Mocha said
" You don't think I over did my battle yesterday with those twin dragon slayers, do you. I mean they did look pretty hurt?" I asked coldly
Mocha looked over at me and smiled
"What's this. Is the stone hearted Lucy, the queen of Sabertooth worried about the dragon slayers" Mocha teased
"I'm not worried about them" I said emotionlessly while turning my head away from Mocha
"Not only are you worried but your embarrassed too" Mocha said happily
"I am not" I said coldly
Then all of a sudden a small holographic screen appeared from a necklace. On the screen it said mood meter and below it , it said embarrassed. Within a few seconds the hologram disappeared.
"So your not embarrassed or worried are you?" Mocha said smirking
" Shut up" I said calmly
"Face it Lucy you can't hide anything from me and you certainly can't hide what you feel from the necklace" Mocha said
"I said shut it" I said calmly again
Mocha only smirked while I burst through the door and stood there for a minute to hear gasps and whisper.
I heard stuff like
"She's back or she's scary"
I ignored them and walked in with Mocha and a giant golden bell, half the size of the guild over my shoulder, over to Yukino who looked surprised.
"W-w-what is that and were did it come from?" Yukino asked
" Are you blind or something? It's clearly a golden bell" I said
"It came from the island we were on. After we completed the mission we decided to tour the island and by luck we stumbled upon this bell. The bell was guarded by a giant poisonous snake but Lucy was able to easily take care of it" Mocha said
I nodded my head and said
"I thought I should keep it as a souvenir" I said carelessly
It took a few minutes before Yukino could process everything before she shouted
"Wait a minute your telling me you completed a decade mission in a day and just luckily "stumbled" across a priceless golden bell."
I only nodded and the whole guild gasped again. That's when I heard someone whisper
"See she really is the strongest"
"Yea, look at how she beat Sting and Rogue yesterday and their still unconscious" another person whispered
After I heard that I headed straight to the infirmary.
"Where are you going now" Yukino asked
"To the infirmary" I said emotionlessly
Everyone looked at me with a confused face while Mocha only smirked at me. I decided to ignore her and started walking towards the infirmary
"Your not allowed to go in the infirmary" Yukino said nervously
"I hate when people tell me what I can and can't do" I said coldly
I turned back around and headed towards the infirmary.
Mocha's P.O.V
"Where are you going now" Yukino asked
"To the infirmary" Lucy said emotionlessly
Everyone looked at her with an confused face while I only smirked at her, but she decided to ignore me and started walking towards the infirmary
"Your not allowed to go in the infirmary" Yukino said nervously
"I hate when people tell me what I can and can't do" Lucy said coldly
Lucy turned back around and headed towards the infirmary.
Yukino then turned to me and asked
"Is she going to hurt them?"
"Actually she's going to do the opposite" I said
Everyone still looked confused so I decide to explain
" You see Lucy has special magic so she can heal not only herself but other people 10 times faster than the normal healer." I said
Just as I finished talking Lucy came out of the infirmary and set the guild's share of our reward on the bar counter.
"Lets go Mocha" she said calmly
"Aye ma'am" I said following her out the door
"They should be up by tomorrow morning" Lucy said before walking out the door with me close behind.
(Time skip)
Lucy's P.O.V.
It was the afternoon when me and Mocha arrived at the guild. When we walked through the door we saw Sting and Rogue healthy and active sitting at a table talking with Rufus and Orga.
I headed towards the request board to pick out another mission and Mocha flew over to the other two exceeds, Lecter and Frosh. When I had found a good mission and was about to take it over to Yukino someone snatched the paper out of my hands.
When I looked up I saw the one and only Sting with my paper in his hand and Rogue standing next to him.
"What do you think your doing" I said emotionlessly looking up at him
"We can't let you take that mission " Rogue said
" I hate it when people tell me what I can and can't do " I said coldly
"You probably hate a lot of things" Sting said with a smirk
"Yea like you two" I said
"Whatever. But your still not getting this mission" Sting said
"I don't have time for this. If you just want a rematch-" I said
"We didn't come for a rematch" Sting said interrupting me
"We want you to join our team" Rogue said
When he said team all I could think about was Fairy Tail, my old team, and how they betrayed me.
"No" I said bluntly
"Come on you didn't even think about" Sting said
"I don't need to. I haven't been on a team in 8 years and I don't plan to be on one now, especially not to be betrayed again" I said coldly
"What do you mean betrayed?" Rogue asked
"Forget it. Just know I'm not joining any teams" I said emotionlessly
And in that swift moment Sting picked me up, put me over his shoulder, and started to run out the guild doors.
"Lecter, Frosh, Mocha we're leaving come on" Rogue said
And with that the six of us where out the door running to the unknown
"Where are you taking me" I said emotionlessly
I could have easily escaped from his grasp but I was really interested in what the two dragon slayer were planning
"Today is the yearly annual festival in honor of Sabertooth so we're going to go to the carnival and then we're going to see the parade." Sting said cheerfully
Rogue only nodded in agreement. Before I could ask any more questions Sting put me down and that's when I realized that we were already in front of the entrance of the carnival. The name of the place was Lume( it's pronounced Lu-May) Knights. It was the first carnival I had ever been to since I never been to one as a kid when I was living in the mansion with my dad. I was going to try and have fun but I wasn't going to let them know that.
We walked into the carnival and Rogue immediately pulled me to a balloon popping dart game. The guy in the booth gave Rogue 3 darts.
"The game is played by throwing darts at the balloons. You win by popping balloons with a small piece of paper inside with the size of prize written on it (S, M, L)." The dart booth guy said
Rogue picked up a dart and threw it at a blue balloon. The balloon popped and a piece of paper with a S on it appeared. The dart booth man handed Rogue a small, pink tiger. Rogue threw another dart at a yellow balloon. The balloon popped once again but didn't have a piece of paper inside it. Rogue threw his last dart at a pink balloon and revealed a piece of paper with the letter L on it.
"Congratulations choose any prize you want." The booth man said
Rogue pointed to a big, orange teddy bear that had a pink bow around its neck. The dart booth guy handed the bear to Rogue and smiled.
Me and Rogue started to walk back where we left Sting, Mocha, Frosh, and Lecter. Rogue sudden walked in front of me, came face to face with me, and bowed holding the bear out to me.
" Please accept this as a gift" Rogue said
"Why should I?"I asked
"Because me and Sting would really like for you to join are team. I know you said you don't want to join a team and that you don't really like us that much, but ,even if Sting won't admit it, we could learn a lot from you. So could you at least try to really consider joining us" Rogue said sincerely
I turned my head and stuck my arms out. Rogue looked up at me and smiled before placing the orange bear in my hands.
"You have a 1.8 percent chance of me joining your team." "But don't count on it" I continued
"So we do still have a chance even if it's a small one" Rogue said with a smirk
I rolled my eyes and we continued walking back to Mocha, Sting, Frosh, and Lecter
When we finally found them they were next to the strength tester game. Sting was the first one to turn around and notice Rogue and me walking their way.
Rogue P.O.V
When we finally found the rest of the group in front of a strength tester game Sting turned around and noticed both me and Lucy walking towards them.
" Where did you two disappear to?" Sting asked before noticing the giant orange bear in Lucy's hands.
"And where did you get that awesome bear?"
"Rogue won it for me" Lucy said
"This one is for you" I said handing Mocha the small, pink tiger.
Mocha accepted the stuffed animal gratefully and said
"Thank you so much" with a wide smile
" Sting where's your gifts for Lucy and Mocha ?" Lecter asked
"Yea why ain't you being a suck up like Rogue?" Lucy asked
" I wasn't trying to be a suck up, I just wanted to convince you to join our team." I said defensively
" I know I'll just win you a prize from the strength tester game" Sting said to Lucy with a cocky smile.
Sting walked up to the operator and told her he wanted to play
"The aim of the game is for players to try to ring the bell suspended on top of the tower. If the lever is struck with enough force, the puck will rise high enough to hit the bell, indicating a success." The lady said
The operator lady handed Sting a mallet. He looked up to the 20 feet strength game and smirked. Sting gripped the mallet and hit the lever with half of his strength. The puck rose high with an incredible speed soon making the puck and the bell fly high into the sky as soon as they made contact.
The operator lady looked awestruck. Sting took the liberty of taking a huge stuffed dragon off a shelf and said
" Just bill it to Sabertooth"
We all started to walk away when Sting wrapped the blue and pink dragon's arms around Lucy's neck.
" You can thank me later" Sting said arrogantly
" Who said I wanted this" Lucy said
"What do you mean? I gave you a gift just like Rogue" Sting said
" Well it don't want your gift" Lucy said
"Just shut up and take it" Sting said annoyed
Lucy shot him a death glare and Sting instantly started to sweat nervously.
"Say it again and I'll break each bone in your hands painfully slow." Lucy said emotionlessly
"I think Sting meant to say would you please accept his gift and consider joining our team. Right Sting" I said
Sting gulped anxiously
"Yea I totally meant to say that. Please don't break my hand" Sting said
Lucy only sighed before she said
"You really over did it back there. That game is really meant for normal people."
"I did hold back some" Sting said
"You blew the puck and the bell into the sky" I said
" Yea yea yea. Let's get some cotton candy" Sting said dragging me and Lucy behind him.
After we finished our cotton candy I saw an interesting game.
Lucy's P.O.V
After we finished our cotton candy Rogue dragged me over to a stall. Rogue went to talk to stall keeper about playing the game. When he came back he had a paper scooper and a bowl. We walked over to the tank filled with goldfish.
" What's the point of this game?" I asked
"The stall keeper said the basic rule is that the player scoops goldfish from a pool with a paper scooper called a "poi" and put them into a bowl with the poi. The game is over when the poi is completely broken or incapable of scooping properly. " Rogue said
Sting, Lecter, Frosh, and Mocha soon caught up to Rogue and me at the fish scooping game.
"Now what are you guys doing?" Mocha asked
"Rogue is going to try to catch fish with that paper scooper" I said pointing to Rogue.
"Hey I wanna try" Sting said excitedly
"I doubt you can do it. This game seems like it requires care, concentration, and speed." I said
"Just you watch I'll catch more fish than Rogue." Sting said as he went to get a paper scooper and bowl from the stall keeper.
When he returned we all gathered around the pool filled with goldfish. Lecter, Frosh, Mocha and me watched as both Sting and Rogue tried to catch the fish.
As soon as both of their paper scoopers were completely unusable it was quite clear who was better at the game.
"I thought you were going to beat him" I said
" Yea yea yea why don't you shut-"
"Why don't I what. Continue I think I'll have fun breaking your bones." I said
"Why don't you shut up Rogue. Can't you see your annoying the merciful goddess Lucy." Sting said nervously
"I didn't say anything" Rogue said while handing Mocha, Lecter , Frosh, Sting, and me a goldfish in a plastic bag that he caught.
"Merciful goddess? Me? You know what I have a better idea than breaking your hand." I said
I grabbed both Sting and Rogue and ran towards The Goliath. The ride was a wooden roller coaster. The ride was 180 feet long and the drop was 85° steep. The roller coasters speed was 72 miles per hour by the looks of it.
Sting and Rogue started to look pale and sick.
" Would you look at that there's barely a line. Looks like we can get on instantly" I said
"Just our luck" Sting said
"This is all your fault Sting. Wait why am I being punished too?" Rogue asked
"You two are a team remember. If you want you can just forget about Sting and abandon him while you wait by the funnel cake cart for us to get back. I said with a dark look in my eyes.
"So that means I definitely have to go" Sting said with a defeated look on his face.
"Your right. We're team mates so I won't let him suffer alone and I definitely won't abandon him. Rogue said
I took on a quick look of surprise before I smiled evilly. I pulled them to the line and luckily I was able to get a seat next to some girl with green hair a cart in front of Sting and Rogue. I turned back to them and said
" Isn't this great. You guys get the last cart."
" Yea totally great. Woohoo" Sting said sarcastically
The ride started to move and the dragon slayers looked sick.
What was that back there. I can't believe I actually smiled. Can I even call that a smile though. I mean I wasn't happy so could what I just did be considered a smile. Maybe I'm just overly thinking and it was just a smirk but I should - my thoughts were interrupted as I noticed everyone was getting off the ride.
I lifted my nose and the air and smelled something utterly horrible. I covered my nose and looked at Sting and Rogue, who looked like they were about ready to pass out.
I thought to myself levitate, snapped my fingers, and Rogue and Sting were lifted out of the roller coaster cart. I walked to a park bench with Lecter, Frosh, and Mocha with Sting and Rogue levitating not to close behind us.
I made them float to a bench, not to far away from us, and waited for them to recover.
"Are you ok Lucy?" Mocha asked me
"I'm perfectly fine. Why do you ask that?" I asked Mocha
"Well while you were on the ride you necklace was reacting" Mocha said
"What do you mean?" I asked
"Your necklace projected a holographic screen that said confused" Mocha said
"It did? Well I was just doing a little thinking that's all" I said
" You know you can talk to me abo-" Mocha started to say.
"Ugh my stomach" Sting said interrupting Mocha
"My clothes. This is all you fault Sting. First you make Lucy angry and then you throw up on me" Rogue said frustrated
"Hey don't blame me. You felt just as bad as I did" Sting said
"Yea but I didn't throw up on you" Rogue said
"I knew it. I thought you guys would have motion sickness" I said interrupting their bickering
"You knew about our motion sickness?" Rogue asked
"And you still made us go on the thing" Sting said
"Yep. Now Rogue we have to do something about your clothes. I can't take that smell" I said
I snapped my fingers and Rogue's clothes were clean and no longer smelled of throw up.
"Thank you" Rogue said amazed
"Now we are going on that" I said pointing to the X-Flight.
"No way. There's no way we're getting on that" Sting said
"I agree" Rogue said.
"Oh but you don't have a choice" I said snapping my fingers teleporting Sting, Rogue and me on the ride buckled up.
This ride was a steel roller coaster. The roller coaster immediately began to climb the steep 120-foot lift . Once we reached the top of the lift hill, the roller coaster starts rotating 180 degrees into an upside down position before descending back to the ground. During this drop, the ride reaches its top speed. After the ride exits the first drop, then makes a slight left turn before entering an zero-gravity-roll followed by a right turn over a pond. Then it leads into the second zero-g-roll over the main entrance of the ride. Following the roll it makes a left turn before going through an Immelmann loop. During this we go through an actual tower giving the illusion we will hit the tower. After going through the ride, the ride goes through another near miss surrounded before exiting the twist and making a tight right turn and last turn, before making a slight left upward turn leading into the brake run . The ride then makes a 180-degree left turn into another set of brakes before entering the station. All this happen in 1 minute and 15 seconds.
I exited the ride calmly and once again smelled throw up but twice as strong this time. I once again made them levitate behind me, Lecter, Frosh, and Mocha as we found another bench to let them rest on.
When they finally came to Sting said
"She's evil I tell you Rogue. She's trying to kill us"
"Agreed" Rogue said
"And here I was thinking about cleaning your clothes for you. Maybe I should let you guys walk around like that." I said wickedly
"You threw up on me again Sting" Rogue said
"Well you threw up on me too" Sting retaliated
"Could you please help us?" Rogue asked pointing to his clothes
I snapped my fingers and they were clean once again.
"How about we go on the drop of doom next" I said with a twisted smile.
"Please no" Sting and Rogue said while looking at the ride hoist people up 40 stories into the air and them sudden drop them back down to the earth.
"Pfttt" I snickered at their expressions
"Don't worry I'm just joking. I'm tired of cleaning your clothes anyway. I said emotionlessly
After that we got on the bumper cars but as soon as the bumper cars started shaking they instantly felt sick. At least there they didn't puke.
It was almost midnight and the parade was about to start so Rogue suggested that we get on the Ferris wheel so we could get a good view. We were all the way in the air when the parade was beginning.
There were so many parade carts. One of the biggest parade carts had a Sabertooth tiger on it. There were all different types of floats, some were glittery, some had pretty lights. There was also a bunch of dancers dancing in the street and a magic show.
It was just beautiful. When I looked at Sting, Rogue, Frosh, Lecter, and Mocha they all were looking out the windows with wide eyes. She had the biggest smile and looked the happiest I had seen in years. It kind of made me feel a little warm inside to see her so happy. Then all of a sudden a small holographic screen appeared from my necklace.
On the screen it said mood meter and below it , it said happy. Within a few seconds the hologram disappeared. I felt relieved when no one noticed my necklace's sudden update.
Then that's when I saw it, a lunar rainbow. It didn't make sense though, rainbows are make from the reflection and refraction of sunlight, but it was night time. I quickly discarded the questions I had about the Lunar rainbow and just took in it's beauty. I knew this would probably be a one in a life time thing and I never wanted to forget such a beautiful sight.
Before I knew it we were already off the Ferris wheel and passing by the strength tester game. Sudden a puck and bell fell from the sky and hit Sting in his head quite forcibly.
"Ow. What the heck" Sting complained
"You held back huh" I said sarcastically
"That was the bell and puck you hit earlier" Rogue said
"I guess it could sense stupidity" I said
"Are you calling me stupid?" Sting asked
"Duh" I said
"Ha ha ha very funny. How come you always pick on me?" Sting asked
"Why do you annoy me the most?" I asked
Before I knew it we were back in front of the guild.
"Looks like you had fun" Sting said cocky
Rogue only nodded his head in agreement
"Shut up" I said emotionlessly
"I had fun" Mocha said
"Fro did too" Frosh said
"Same here" Lecter said
I turned to Sting and Rogue and said
"I will join your team"
"You will?" Sting, Rogue and Mocha asked surprised by my sudden outburst
I only nodded my head
"Alright " Sting said cheerfully
That's when Sting and Rogue put their hands on top of each other and looked at me waiting for me to join in. I sighed and rolled my eyes before setting my hand on top of the pile. The exceeds put their paws in the pile too and with that we all threw our hands in the air and I said
"Team Lume knights( again pronounced Lu-May)"
They all turned their heads toward me and smiled
"We're going to be the STRONGEST TEAM IN SABERTOOTH" Sting yelled
