Lucy Heartfilia: Avenging Angel

Mission Impossible

Mystogan and I walked off the train, and into the town that our job was taking place. I thought the job sounded hard, but Mystogan assured me it wouldn’t be too hard. The reward was S-Class worthy, a whopping two million jewel.

Our job was to take out a demon. Several teams had tried taking out this demon and none had succeeded. I was quite scared, but with Mystogan I felt safe. In the past year I had grown to trust Mystogan like I trusted no other. The feelings that were slowly building inside me were kind of frightening, but I was prepared to face them.

“Where is the clients’ house?” Mystogan asked as we walked aimlessly.

“Oh! Um, let’s see here, hmm, here it is! It’s 873 Fox Drive.” He nodded and we started to look for the address.

“866, 868, 870, 872…” I looked at 872 and turned around. I saw 871 and 875, but no 873.

I turned to Mystogan, unnerved. He had his mask on, so I couldn’t see his face. But I could tell with his posture that he was on edge.

I focused on the space in front of me. It shimmered slightly, and I knew what was happening. The person who requested us had put a cloaking spell on their house. Why was the question.

Muttering to myself, I took Lucy’s hand and led her to where the house actually was. The neighbors were aware of this deception, at least numbers 871 and 875.

Lucy jumped when we passed through the illusion and came upon a house.

“Are you the Fairy Tail wizards that accepted this request?” the client said as soon as he saw us. He could only see the right side of Lucy’s face, so he couldn’t see her mark.

“Yes, we are.” I said in a strong voice.

“Can I see your marks?” I knew this was going to happen. Lucy turned her face and he jumped when he saw her mark. I pulled my shirt off and he saw the mark on my back.

He led us into his house, which was a normal-sized bungalow. It was painted brown with white detailing.

These two mages looked extremely capable. “I bet that you are wondering why I have my house cloaked…” he said, smiling.

“Yes. We are rather curious why you would go to such lengths to hide your existence.” The man said, a serious tone to his voice. I couldn’t see his face, as he was wearing a mask.

“I didn’t mention this in the request, but this demon has a human-like form and mainly preys on mages. I feared that none would come if they knew this information.”

“There is a reason that this mission is qualified S-Class. It is so the stronger of us could take it. We will not fail in helping a fellow mage.”

“Thank you! I knew contacting Fairy Tail was the right choice!” I bowed, overjoyed that they would take the mission.

“Now, sir, can you tell us where the demon is?” the woman said. I noticed that they both had tattoos/guild marks covering the left side of their faces. It might have symbolized that they were a team or in a relationship, though by looking at them it seemed that they were in a close relationship.

After a bout of silence due to my thinking, I told them that it could be found in the West Forest. They thanked me and went on their way.

I could feel that these mages could accomplish what I wanted them to. For the sake of the town.

And did I forget to mention that the demon had mind-reading powers. Oops.

As we walked towards the West Forest, the sky got darker. It was nearing sunset, and we still had a good hour until we reached the forest.

As we were heading to our destination, I looked at Lucy. She was nervous, I could tell.

“Lucy, this mission will be easy enough. We just have to take out a demon.”

“I know… it’s just that I don’t know about my powers. What if I use the wrong spell?”

“I think we should just focus on the Seven Archangels. We didn’t really have many chances to practice with them. Is that alright?”

“Yeah.”

She looked better, and I congratulated myself.

When we got to the forest, it was pitch black. Lucy huddled closer to me, and I was suddenly glad for the darkness.

But then that happiness disappeared. I heard a banshee-like scream. I looked down and realized that it wasn’t Lucy.

“M-maybe t-that w-was the d-demon we’re looking f-for?” Lucy’s voice sounded extremely shaky. I immediately knew she was terrified.

The scream got louder and we saw a purple light flying towards us (I stole this from Scooby-Doo, kinda…) and I got ready to fight.

But Lucy took the lead.

“Open: Gate of the Holy Archangel! Gabriel!” The woman showed up in a blinding flash. The demon came at her very fast. At first I was worried for the Angel, but she moved away in a blaze of light.

“Lucy, I thought I told you to only summon me when the task is extremely difficult!!” Gabriel complained.

“I thought this was a dire situation!”

“Tch. We are having a long girls’ night after this.”

“Got it. Can you help us?!” Lucy looked a bit frazzled.

“Yes!”

The demon was slightly confused. “Why can’t I read your mind?”

Gabriel just laughed. “Hun, you don’t want to read my mind. I only was granted the status of Archangel because of my fighting skills. Not my pure mind.” She grinned wickedly and pulled out halberd. The blade itself was bigger than her body. The handle alone was as thick as her forearm. It looked like molten silver, and probably weighed more than the girl who was wielding it.

The demon smiled like she knew she was going to win. Gabriel just smiled back and got ready to attack. The demon came at her with full force, and Gabriel merely had an amused look on her face. As the demon drew near, she swung the halberd. It came into contact with the demon, and she burst into a million pieces. But those each of those pieces just formed a new demon. Gabriel grinned, a feral grin that sent shivers down Lucy’s and my back.

How can and Archangel behave like this… unless she has a split personality… that would explain the incredible strength in which she fights with. I thought wearily, slightly disturbed.

Gabriel soon finished the demon, and Lucy and I decided to take the long train back. The places we had to go for these S-Class missions were insane. The SHORT ride lasted a week. The longer one should last for at least a couple weeks.

“Lucifer, how are you’re plans coming along?”

“My twin will not know what hit her.”
