Her Little Secret

Celestial Requiem

Lucy's POV

I feel the power of my dragon slayer magic flowing through my veins.

I was angry.

I wanted revenge.

"Well this is a surprise! Are you going to unlock your true potiental?!" My aunt yells.

"Shut up!" I reply.

"Lucy, are you sure about this?" Master asks.

I nod.

"Go get 'em, Luce!" Nastu calls out.

The celestial magic that emitted from my hand shone brightly.

"What is that?!" Levy exclaims.

"It's dragon slayer magic!" Nastu responds.

"Iron Fist of the Celestial Dragon!" I shout, swinging at the two Black Rose members.

Unfortunately, they dodge.

Think, Lucy, think!

"Roar of the Celestial Dragon!"

As I continued my failed attempts at attacks, my fellow guild members sat back, still stunned.

After all, it'd just been revealed that I actually had a powerful magic, unlike the mediocre magic I had before.

I know my magic was enhanced, so how come it was so hard to fight Lior and Aunt Lilith?!

What was I not getting?!

What did I have to do to end this... to stop them... to help Fairy Tail?!

"Wings of the Celestial Dragon!"

Aunt Lilith just laughs as she ducks under my attack.

"Silly girl! Those lousy, basic attacks won't work on us!"

Basic?!

I guess it was true that I was using Natsu's go-to moves, but what was I supposed to use?!

"Maybe we'd overestimated you... or maybe these weakling fairies rubbed off on you!" Lior shouts to me.

I was absolutely infuriated.

I was so tired of hearing their remarks of how weak of a guild we were.

I was tired of them picking on Fairy Tail.

I'd show them who's boss.

I needed to be strong...

...and there was a way I could be stronger.

Maybe I just had to dig a little deeper...

"You want me to be strong?! Fine. I guess I'll be strong."

I begin to form the magic in my palm, though it took time.

Suddenly, Loke showed up.

"Lucy, stop! I warned you not to use this side of your magic! Call off your casting before it's too late!"

"Not a chance! I need to focus on defeating the enemy in front of me!"

I was consumed in my own rage.

I wasn't even myself anymore.

"Lucy, you're making a big mistake! You need to trust me! Call it off!"

I'd stopped listening, tuning Loke out.

I would cast this spell, and I would end this entire thing.

"Lucy, no!" The lion zodiac called, but it was too late.

The magic was ready.

I aimed my hand at my aunt.

"Celestial Requiem!"
