What If...

Chapter 9

A/N: Sorry this took FIVE EVER to update but good things come to people who wait.

Rogue quickly turned toward what ever had hit the celestial mage and shot a spear of shadow towards it. It pierced the center of a purple monster's chest, killing it. He turned back around to the blonde, her screaming subsided and he saw her body becoming limp.

Lucy lost consciousness, causing Finn to disappear. The dragon slayer was about to pick Lucy up when Finn came back. Rogue was about to ask how he was back when the fire bird spirit cut him off, "I used my own magic. I'm going to see what happened and if I can help since I have healing magic."

Rogue nodded and took a couple steps back to give the spirit space. Finn kneeled next to the unconscious blonde and flowed his healing magic to his hands. He began searching for whatever caused her to lose consciousness.

The white shadow dragon watched as Finn's eyes suddenly shot open and he said, "She was hit with poison. Luckily my healing magic is based on fire and it's perfect for these types of situations. I can essentially burn the poison out of her, but that's as much help as I can be. You will have to get her to Fairy Tail and get help with the rest."

Rogue nodded and watched as Lucy's unconscious face turned more peaceful after the Phoenix spirit finished eliminating the poison. The spirit went back to the celestial world as Rogue picked up the blonde and transformed them both into a shadow and sped off towards the guild.

The second he arrived and shot under the doors and up to the infirmary, they rematerialized inside and Rogue placed Lucy on one of the beds before trying to figure out what he should do now. Suddenly a pink light covered the room and out of it came none other than Virgo. She looked at her blonde master and back to Rogue before saying, "I will tell Team Natsu that she defeated the monster but was ambushed by a fifth that they didn't know existed and I brought her to the Fairy Tail infirmary. I will tell them that she said to get the reward and that she said she would be fine. I suggest you somehow secretly get Wendy up here to heal Princess completely."

Rogue nodded as the maid spirit disappeared. He transformed into a shadow and went down to the main part of the guild where he found Wendy drinking a glass of juice, luckily alone. He whispered, knowing she would still hear him, "Wendy go to the infirmary. Don't ask questions I'll explain when you get there just please hurry it's an emergency."

Wendy was surprised to hear a voice whispering to her. She looked around the guild and saw no one else reacted to it, not even the other dragon slayers. The voice sounded worried and if it was an emergency in the infirmary then someone was obviously hurt. She suddenly got up and headed up the stairs to the infirmary.

Rogue was sitting in a chair he placed next to Lucy's bed when the door opened. He looked up and tried to keep a soft facial expression as to not scare the young dragon slayer as he said, "Thank you for listening Wendy. Can you look over Lucy and heal her? She was hit with a poison attack on her mission."

The little girl was shocked to see Future Rogue. She shook in slight fear, but that disappeared when she heard him say Lucy was hurt. The young girl thought of Lucy as her older sister and would do anything to help her, even approach someone who's a potential threat. The sky dragon walked cautiously to the other side of the bed and began to concentrate her magic on the blonde. She furrowed her eyebrows in confusion when she sensed no poison whatsoever, but she did see that a few ribs were broken and quickly healed them.

Rogue watched the girl's hands stop glowing and looked at her as she looked at him and said, "I couldn't find any trace of poison in her system but she did have a few broken ribs so I healed them."
