"Regulus impact!" Loke yelled, he punched Natsu in the leg as Natsu bounced back.
"Fire dragon iron fist!" Natsu yelled back at the lion, he came charging up at Loke and punched him right in the stomach. "Gugh" Loke winced.
I glanced over to Minerva who was completely wrecking Gray, though, Fairy Tail wizards don't give up so easily.
-
Lucy, can you hear me?
-
I heard Lavendar's voice echo through my head. But she isn't allowed to use telepathy while I'm in a match! I looked at the two fights, they were both going pretty good. We were winning. I should just answer Lavendar while I have the chance.
-
Lavendar you aren't supposed to be using telepathy while I'm battling, you know that!
Oh good, you can hear me
She completely ignored my statement, I sighed.
Ahem, please listen to what I have to say as well: You can't use telepathy while I'm battling!
It's a quick one
Fine, what do you have to say then?
I sense a magical power relating to Zeref, he is somewhere in this stadium watching
Wait...Zeref? As in the black mage?!
...Who else would I be talking about now?
-
Lavendar sighed, I looked around to see if they were still fighting. I looked really suspicious so I decided to bump into Natsu and Loke's fight a bit. "Aether dragon roar!" I inhaled sharply and blew out as hard as I could as purple toxins came swirling out my mouth to Natsu.
-
Alright Lavendar, but what's the deal? Why tell me now of all times and places?
He's dangerous
-
I laughed a bit, covering my mouth immediately, I saw an angry Natsu. "Hey! Why'd you bump into our fight like that, Lucy?!" He grumbled. I just stayed silent.
"It's alright Natsu," Loke looked at me, I raised a brow.
"Go ahead, it's alright, I'll be your support then." I smiled, they continued straight afterwards.
-
That's stating the obvious
Adolescent! Could you be serious once in your life?!
-
I got a bit startled at the sudden yelling. Why is Lavendar being so...what do you call this? Harsh, no, she seems frightened herself. She's been acting different lately, more frightened as if there was something she was scared of. It must have something to do with this Black Wizard Zeref everyone talks about...
-
Okay, but what are you suggesting? I really don't get it, Lavendar.
I'm suggesting that it is either the real deal: The Black Wizard Zeref or someone is planning to open the Eclipse Gate, no, someone has already opened it and travelled into our time for some unknown reason
As in the gate that we struggled so hard with to close 7 years ago?
Yes, as crazy as it may sounds, I have a feeling this is connected to you, adolescent
Okay I get it, I'm an adolescent, geez...
Lucy!!
Gah! Yes?
Stop fooling around! This is real! This is reality, so please cooperate!
I'm sorry...
*sigh* you truly are annoying, I can't believe Anna wanted me to help you
I don't get who is Anna and what this all has to do with me, Lavendar you are the one not telling me anything. I'm sure it shouldn't hurt to tell me what you're going on about.
Anna is your ancestor, that's the only information you need. Don't pry into other people's business, adolescent
Why are you calling me "adolescent" again? Didn't we talk about this?
That's a conversation for another day, for now, please listen
Okay okay, what do you want me to do about this?
Be on the lookout, if you find the one with the source of the power, kill them
...kill?
Kill
That isn't right Lavendar!
That's our only option
That makes absolutely no sense, you don't understand, I refuse to kill another person. There should be another way to resolve this! Don't you think? We shouldn't resort to violence
Now you're acting foolish, it is the only way
No it isn't!
I've looked through all the possible outcomes, this is the only way
And how are you sure those are all the outcomes? How? As far as I know, you don't possess any power that can prove that
Lucy, stop being a child and face reality! That's our only option!
"That's our only option", that's an excuse! You're avoiding my statements
...
You can't prove it
But I'm certain that it is the only way
That's bullshit! We can do it another way, I promise I can figure it out
No!
No?
You can't! It's the only way!! How much will it take to let your undeveloped mind take that in?
You don't know that!
Lucy! Are you hearing yourself?!
Of course! The person who needs to hear themselves is you!
You're just being immature now! Listen to me and it'll be alright, okay?
You're not my mother, so stop acting like you are my mom!
Please Lucy, just listen. It's the only way to get rid of the dangers. If you don't kill this person, who knows what they can do?
I'm aware of that. But what if we can send them back into their own time?
That's impossible! The only way is to kill them!
Lavendar, do you really want to be a murderer? And plus, why make me do it? Why don't you do it?!
I can't!
Why not? You're strong enough, you could even sense the magic before I did!
Seriously child! Stop being such a nuisance and do it! Do you want this world to fall into chaos by the hands of Zeref?! Only you can stop it! If you kill them it'll be over!
Is this even you Lavendar? Can you hear yourself? We'll be--no! I will be a murderer if I kill them! Whether or not they're good or bad, they are still people! It's not justified to murder somebody
You just don't get it child, do you?!
I know you're scared! But we both have to find another way!
STOP IT!!! KILLING IS THE ONLY WAY!! SO LISTEN TO ME OR WE'LL ALL SUFFER THE CONSEQUENCES! DO YOU WANT YOUR FRIENDS TO DIE?! LISTEN TO ME AND KILL THEM, OKAY?!
...
Have you gone mad?
You've gone mad! We need to kill them before it's too late!
You aren't the same Lavendar I know. I know she would never do that
Stop being all sentimental! This is needed for our goal!
What goal? Now what? We have a goal?
No!
You really are formidable
I didn't mean it like that!
Lavendar, can I really trust you?
Have you gone mad, Lucy?! I'm Anna's exceed! Of course you can trust me!
And who is Anna?! She's my ancestor but I don't even know her! You can't change that!
You don't need to know her!
How do I even know if she is my ancestor?!
I--
LET ME SPEAK! Why are you doing this? Why are you keeping secrets from me?
Stop acting like a child already and do it!
...you know what Lavendar? I've had enough
ADOLESCENT! Just do it! It doesn't make a difference, it'll be killing for justice! They are probably a follower of Zeref
Justice? Ha, you've really gone mad. No murder is justified. What are you hiding?!
I'm not hiding anything!
That's a lie again, I can't believe I trusted you
No! It's for a good reason! You have to trust me
Just get out of my head already!
It's your job!
I said to GET OUT OF MY HEAD!
...
I don't have all day, Lavendar
Fine! Don't say I didn't warn you, adolescent!
-
I stopped, I felt cold and numb. I can't believe...what I just did. Did I really just yell at Lavendar? I don't understand this at all. Everything seems like a dream, even the fact I'm not in Fairy Tail seems like a dream. I don't even know what I want anymore.
Gah! Snap out of it Lucy! You're still in a fight!
I gazed at the two battles going on before me. The four were already very tired, Loke looked at me and panted heavily. "I-I'm sorry, Lucy...I'm out of power...I need to return..." he heaved and held his stomach which was heavily injured. I looked at him for a second before nodding. I stayed silent about everything that had happened in my head. I had to ignore it for the meanwhile, I was still in a fight after all.
"You don't need my consent, Loke" I smiled. "I can take care of the rest," I reassured him, he smiled back at me.
"Thank you, Lucy," he thanked me before fading into the air. I glanced at Minerva and Gray, the two were both heavily injured but still fighting. I turned back to see the pinkette glaring at me, he had wounds everywhere.
"L-Lucy..." he heaved to pull himself to me, I frowned.
"Natsu..." I responded in a shallow tone. "Are you sure you can still fight?" I asked cautiously, he stomped his foot on the ground, breaking part of it. "Eep!" I squeaked in shock.
"If I have the strength to speak..." he paused and huffed, "I can still fight!" He yelled, he came charging with a fireball, he was visibly slower than before so I dodged it simply.
In his attempt, I kicked him right in the stomach. I gripped onto my fleuve d'étoiles and unsheathed it as if it were a sword. I smacked him down with one hit, though he was still conscious. "That was for ignoring me," I muttered.
I gathered my strength and smacked him a second time. "This is for being oblivious to everything that happened to me," I lowered my head and gripped onto my flueve d'étoiles even harder.
I strapped him another time. "That's for calling me weak and useless behind my back!" I wept in raw anger. I looked down at the injured pinkette, tears rolling down my face. It hurt so much, but he deserves it! I mustered my strength, took a deep breath and glared. "And lastly--!"
"This is for kicking me out of Team Natsu!"
