Lucy Heartfilia: Avenging Angel

The Tenrou Test

We headed back from the mission, hopefully to intercept the Fairy Tail gang before they got to Tenroujima. We made it and talked with Master.

“I want you two to pick a passage and test the mages you come upon.”

“Okay.” I said, holding Mystogan’s hand.

“Not only should you focus on their fighting skills, but their ability to act under pressure and make the right decisions in a split second. The contestants are Cana Alberona, Gray Fullbuster, Natsu Dragneel, Levy McGarden, Elfman Strauss, Juvia Lockser, Freed Justine, and Mest Gryder. Their partners were Laki, Loki, Happy, Gajeel, Evergreen, Lisanna, Bickslow, and Wendy. (I used the actual pairings except for Lucy and Cana for obvious reasons)

The first actual test was to get to the island first. You then had to pick a tunnel and within those eight tunnels were these tests: four were tests against S-Class wizards and four were team-on-team fights.

Yes, the peace route was out (That rhymes XD) because of the return of us. Master thought it best to have us fight our companions to test our powers against them after this year. Master would be watching the whole thing so he could judge our progress as well.

As we walked, I leaned into Mystogan. We soon were on the boat to Tenroujima. Master wanted us to go ahead so we were prepared.

Once Lucy and I got to Tenroujima, we chose the fourth route. Using a Communication Lacrima, we told Makarov where we were. He told us that Mira had chosen route six, Laxus had chosen number one, (obviously ^6^) and Gildarts picked three. I expected Gildarts to be hearing a commotion from us, because Lucy was just about as destructive as him.

“You ready, Lucy?” I asked her, grinning.                                                                                                                              

She grinned right back. She knew how much her power had grown. She had a limiter to hide her power so it didn’t crush her friends. (I didn’t mention this earlier, but it seemed like a good idea. While on the train, Mystogan had Lucy meditate to grow her magic container.)

The outfit she wore was iconic. A billowing silver cloak followed her wherever she went, and it was covered in embroidery. She wore a skirt that fell down to her mid-thigh. The skirt was shimmery and looked like it had multiple layers. Her shirt was a glistening white and slightly over-lapped her pants like she tucked it in, but in reality, it had a tight band on the bottom while the rest was loose. Her forearms were adorned with silver jewelry, and she had wing-like attachments on her shoulders. (almost like Wendy’s when she first met the team) She had silver ties on her pigtails and they ended in white bells. The cloak was her limiter.

They heard banging and a deep voice. Lucy smiled. “Gajeel and Levy are coming.”

“Why are excited for that?” I asked, truly perplexed.

“I get to fight my best friend and her love interest.”

“LOVE INTEREST?!” I was astonished. The bad boy of Fairy Tail Black Steel Gajeel and Number One Bookworm are in a romantic relationship?

I must have said these words out loud.

“Yessssssssssssss.” She had hearts in her eyes. “They both liked each other but are too shrimpy (XD Oh my, I need a life) to admit it.”

“Y’know, Bunny Girl. I heard that. I think I want to fight you.”

~~~~

I was walking with Levy, teasing her about her height and just enjoying being close to her. Then I heard a woman’s voice and a man’s low chuckle. Immediately I knew that shrimp and I were going to face off with Lucy and Mystogan.

“Why are excited for that?” I heard Mystogan’s voice. I was curious to hear where this was going.

“I get to fight my best friend and her love interest.”

“LOVE INTEREST?!” I and Mystogan said at the same time.

“Gajeel, what’s up?” Levy looked at me, and I cursed myself.

“Nothing.”

“You sure?”

“Yeah.” If okay you mean prepped and ready to get revenge on a certain bunny rabbit. When she cracked the shrimp joke I was furious. Marching into the opening, I yelled at Bunny Girl.

“Y’know, Bunny Girl. I heard that. I think I want to fight you.” I was livid. I sounded like Natsu.

“You got yourself a deal.”

~~~~

You guys know what happens with the others. I am going to focus on the fight Gajeel and Levy vs. Mystogan and Lucy.

~~~~

I was scared. Not for Gajeel, but for my best friend. Gajeel was tireless, and last time I checked Lucy stood no chance.

They faced off.

“Mystogan, do you think Lucy is going to win?”

“Yes.”

“Are you certain?”

“Yes.”

I sighed. He was vocal with Lucy but not anyone else.

I turned back to the fight.

~~~~

I looked at Gajeel. I had seen many of his fights and was quite familiar with his fighting style.

I walked up to him. He attacked first, using his fists to punch. I dodged every single one and turned to see a smug Mystogan and shocked Levy. I heard her gasp and dodged an attack. I whirled around and called a spirit.

“Open: Gate of the Huntress! Artemis!” I yelled, using my god keys. There were twelve in all. The Huntress, Artemis. The Archer, Apollo. The Sea God, Poseidon. The Thunderman, Zeus. The Maiden, Hera. The Temptress, Aphrodite. The Connoisseur, Dionysus. The Craftsman, Hephaestus. The Shadow, Hades. The Owl, Athena. The Roman, Ares. The Messenger, Hermes.

She looked at me, and I nodded. Raising her head, her eyes started to glow the color of moonlight.

Gajeel had the right to look scared. Artemis was a sight to be seen. Her eyes were glowing. When she looked up, she had a deep frown. Her hair was flowing around her, and she spread her arms. Gajeel was frozen in his spot.

When she clapped her hands together violently, the ground shook and it looked as if the moon was flying towards Artemis. As it converged around her, she put her hand in the image, and pulled a silver bow out of it. Pulling the string back, an arrow appeared. It was made out of pure moonlight. Shooting it at Gajeel, it was a direct hit. I had trained with the God Keys so that they could take on Zeref. Gajeel was nothing. This wasn’t about my strength. It was about the strength of my spirits. And the Greek Gods were pretty f-ing strong.

Gajeel was down, and it didn’t look like he was getting up anytime soon. Levy was just standing there. Gaping.

Mystogan turned towards her, and knocked her out with his signature sleeping spell.

“They are out.”

~~~~

We finally defeated Hades and his guild (too tired to write the fight. I will detail it in the next chapter… but not right now) but when Natsu and the rest of us heard the roar, we were frightened.

I looked to Mystogan. He nodded. When I saw Acnologia, I yelled at my comrades to leave. Then I pulled off my cloak.
