Mended: A Broken Story

Piece By Piece

~Lucy~
Zeref... Why does that name bother me so much, especially with the last name Vermillion?

I shook off the feeling and grabbed the flowers Rosy got for Jellal.

"So, what's up, doc?" Natsu chuckled when he used the Bugs Bunny accent.

The doctor smiled as he straightened his spectacles.

"Well, we rechecked the tox screen and the blood samples but, the results are still negative. We don't really know what to tell you..." Dr. Vermillion trailed off and Erza's gaze finally came upon him.

"Do you know about the Sabertooth High incident two years earlier?" She asked and the doctor looked surprised.

"That was one of the most popular cases last year, involving your family and others as well." the doctor explained.

"Do you think that this is like what happened to us then?" She asked and the doctor had to think.

None of us had any memory of what happened that day two years ago. All I remember before blacking out was seeing my mother again and I suddenly woke up in a hospital with Romeo and Wendy by my side. And Natsu... What he said that day will never leave my mind.

"July 17, 2018.... It shall be the end of this world and the beginning of E.N.D. once again."

And then, there was what Otou-san said...

"Lucy, don't let Natsu Dragneel find the book."

Something strange is going on around here and it all connects back to those missing memories.

"It looks to be similar but, not quite. The difference was that last time, there were actual brain waves detected. Jellal here apparently has no brain waves to detect right now." The doctor's red eyes looked darkened with every word he said.

"It's over, isn't it... Natsu?"

And the flower vase fell out of my hands and shattered on the ground.

"Lucy?!" Natsu shouted, worry written on his face.

Why am I so afraid all of a sudden? What's happening to me?

And the familiar name suddenly hit me.

"M-Mavis Vermillion..."

And my body fell into Natsu's embrace.

Am I floating or am I falling? I can't tell. Where the hell am I?!

"Hey, Earth Lucy!" I heard a familiar female shout behind me.

I turned to be quite surprised to see, well... me.

"What the- Wait, who are you?" I asked and the clone giggled.

"Hi, my name is Lucy and I'm basically you from a different dimension, Earthland. Actually, this isn't the first we've met." the Earthland Lucy smiled and I was confused.

"What do you this isn't the first time we've met?" I asked and the Earthland me came closer.

"Maybe this will help." she smiled and flicked me on the forehead.

And the memories rushed through my head. The kidnap, the merging, the magic, the reincarnation, the Sabertooths, our past's deaths...

And piece by piece, it began to connect. Mavis Vermillion...

"You have to find her. You have to find the first master, Mavis! You can do it, Lucy! Please, just don't let Natsu find the book of E.N.D.!" And Earthland Lucy's image began to fade.

The beeping was continuing to ring in my ears and I saw a certain pinkette resting on my chest, snoring softly as he held my hand tightly. I smiled softly and kissed his forehead.

And the memories of Earthland Lucy came to me. Our missing memories! I know what happened now but, what do I do about Jellal-nii and the others?

They'd think I was crazy if I told them that they were reincarnations of past powerful and mystical wizards. But... Rosy!

Even if she's just a kid, she's my only hope right now! But... I feel so drained...

And soon enough, I fell asleep once again.

~???~
Stupid blondie. She knows something, I know it.

And she's going to tell Rosemary. Good thing Rosemary isn't Rosemary.

"Let me go, mean lady!" Rosemary shouted from her cage.

I got annoyed with Titania's brat and blasted her into the wall with my plasma beam.

"Shut the fuck up already! God, if you weren't Titania's daughter, I would've killed you by now!" I shouted back as she shook in fear.

"J-Just wait till my family finds out Kyoko's not me! T-They'll find you and beat you up, you mean lady!" the little girl stuttered and I smirked.

Her family. Pathetic. I've got Sara and Alyn to watch them and Kyoko in Rosemary's place. Louis is out getting ingredients as we speak. Soon, I'll find the book of E.N.D. and end all their foolish squabbling will be for nothing.

As the saying goes, all dogs get their day. It's the Saber's turn.
