Fallen Celestial (Fairy Tail fanfic)

Fallen Celestial Part 37 (Final Chapter)

Hey everybody, so i just wanted to take a second to apologize for how long it took for me to get this out, like every other writer on this site it seemed like everything in my life just decided to go wrong at the same time. and with that apology I hope you enjoy this final chapter!

As Natsu raced through the battlefield he couldn't help but laugh childishly at how fast he was moving. While the horns and strange tattoos were pretty annoying and all, the fact that he could move so fast with so little effort was awesome. He felt stronger than he ever had in his life, even stronger than when he ate that weird blue stone stuff in the tower of Heaven.

"This is awesome! I bet I can beat the crap out of both Erza and Gray like this! Hell, I could probably take them on both at the same time!" Natsu bragged as he leapt off of the head of a random Etherious, the demon's body shattering under the force of the blow.

"...Stop bragging fool, we still have to go and stop the Bastard Dragon and get the Bastard Demon out of Luce." Alva chastised as she kept pace with the now demonfied Natsu.

"Wait what? What the hell are you talking about? Why is there a demon in Luce?" Natsu quickly became serious at the mention of his partner, Alva's face growing more serious as he did so.

"Luce used a union spell to fuse with Abaddon, just like she did during the dragon attack."

Natsu's heart nearly stopped at the mention of that night, the image of the six armed Lucy inadvertently surfacing in his mind. If Lucy did the same thing with the white suited bastard then what was happening to her now.

But Natsu had no more time to think about that night, as the sky overhead was beginning to crack like a pane of glass, the sound of reality shattering echoing through the battlefield.

"Wha-What the hell? Did someone just break the sky?...it wasn't me right? Cuse I don't think Gramps is gonna forgive me breaking something that important." Natsu questioned in a panic as he stared up at the shattered sky.

"No...this is...Abaddon!" Alva muttered in shock as she too stared up at the sky, looking even more concerned than Natsu did. "What the hell is he doing? He knows that Luce's body can't handle this much power!" She shouted as her head whipped back to stare in the direction of the strange shadowy magic, Natsu hesitating for a second before rushing after her.

"Wait! What the hell do you mean? What's happening to Luce!" Natsu shouted after the red haired slayer but Alva either hadn't heard him or was too lost in panic to bother with him as she speed off into the distance.

But luckily for Natsu he didn't have to worry about what she meant for too long, as when the shadows grew longer and thicker the two arrived at their destination. And what Natsu saw there was something that once again drew him back into his memories of that faithful night in Crocus.

"L-Luce? What happened to you? Are you..." Natsu started to ask before his question died in his throat. The woman before him certainly smelled like his partner, but her looks and magic were too foreign to be associated with the blonde celestial spirit mage. Gone was the intricate armor the fire dragon slayer had last seen her in, replaced by a white ball room gown that Natsu couldn't help looked strange on her. Her normally blonde, almost shinny hair was replaced by black hair so dark that it almost looked like it was cut from a cloudy nighttime sky. But by far the creepiest change was her gaze, her now emerald green eyes glaring at him with clear disdain and contempt.

"Ah, so the magnum opus of the dark wizard and the wayward dragon return." Lucy greeted in a clearly sarcastic tone, her left arm pointing in the direction of Acnologia, the dragon king being constantly assailed by shadows, shadows that he constantly beat away only for more to spring up in order to contain him. "Alva, have you reminded that foolish dragon of what his place is?" the black haired mage asked with a warm smile, a smile that made Natsu's skin crawl.
