Okay. Let's do this thing.(Quick note, there's a lot of bolded stuff.. I get pretty nitpicky here. Sorry.)
This is something that can go one of two ways.
Both of which make a fool of Fairytail.
After training for a while, you obviously want to use your newfound strength against your enemies. It's why you're training in the first place.
But this enemy happens to be Fairytail. Oh I dunno, the guild with dragon slayers from hundreds of years ago, a mage who can utilize one of the three fairy spells and achieve over 9999 magic power with it, the one with a skilled water and ice mage duo, a woman who uses her blades like an extension of her arm, a few flying cats, one of which can SEE. THE. FUTURE.
Eh, don't think it's thatttt hard to beat in one blow. Not counting the people who stayed strong for seven years whilst the guild crumbled because they still believed in the guilds morals..May have gotten into a rant there, but it still applies.
So, we have Lucy either rejoining Fairytail (which I kinda understand and kinda don't, because she would still believe in them, but I've seen some where she nearly dies. Who would go back to a place that nearly killed them?) and kicking their butts, or Lucy joining Sabertooth and kicking Fairytail's behinds in the GMG. Both options, of course, being overused. Majorly. That's why it's a cliché in the first place. And that's why I'm here to fix it. Kinda. Or at least extend on my own version where she didn't. Even. Leave.
Yeah I'm salty. Who isn't?
Well, let's start, you most likely skipped over this anyway.
Full cliché version:
Lucy's POV
——————After training with all the creatures, I now had wolf slaying and fairy slaying and dragon slaying and phoenix slaying and all the other magics known to wizards. (Alrighty, lets get started here. As I stated before, most dragons are dead. Any that were left, sealed themselves into their dragon slayers. Dragons no longer exist in this world. Now, I don't mind people making magic. Slaying magic, normal magic, forbidden magic, it's all okay to create. But to use so many at once? No. This. This right here is no longer Lucy Heartfillia, this is a Mary Sue. You've killed Lucy at this point. So many types of magic in one body would probably have disastrous consequences if it hasn't already killed her. Plus, use commas!!!!)
I was now ready for my revenge. (Overkill much? It's not going to be fun for either Lucy or the reader [or the guild] if she can beat the entire guild in like, one or two shots. If you write a struggle, at this rate, then you're not correctly writing an OP character. If they want revenge, they aren't likely to hold back. But if they don't, it won't feel satisfying enough when their opponents fail after their first attack. I would say to have her toy with them like a cat may play with a mouse, but Lucy would never do that.)
Saying goodbye to everyone, I make a portal back to Earthland. (Everyone? People need explanations for this kind of stuff. They want to know who these people are. Try explaining in a bit more detail.)
"What guild should I join?" I ask my exceed, Luna. (Uhh-, since when did she have an exceed? I think that's something worth mentioning before hand.)
"Sabertooth." (No explanation as to why..?)
"That's a great idea, let's do it" "aren't I the smartest?" "Yes you are Luna" (Make sure you use punctuation, and also, hubris alert. And again, please properly space your quotations, I already addressed this in an earlier chapter.)
I was now at Fairytail and kicked down the doors entering the building. "Haha the weakling is back" "oh nooooo, I'm so scared" "get out of here weakling" (Hooo boy, lets get started. Again, use punctuation and properly space your quotation marks, but most of all; one, can't they tell she's improved? With all that new magic there is bound to be an aura surrounding her. And two, just why? Why are they calling her weak in the first place? You do realize that summoning a celestial spirit takes immense concentration and power, right? Gold keys are in a league of their own in this regard. When Leo was first recognized to be a spirit, Lucy managed to summon every spirit she had. So why are they calling her weak?)
I smile and then cast an elemental dragons roar. (Overkill much..? Not even something a bit less.. overpowered?)
Everyone is down in seconds. "What how? Lucy is too weak to be a dragon slayer!" "She's faking it" "this is just a joke, Lucy is weak not a dragon slayer" (They just witnessed that [as well as had it happen to them] and they still refuse to believe it? They're just being ignorant morons now, not just jerks. Plus, punctuation, punctuation, punctuation. As well as space your quotation marks. I will mention this every time I can.)
I turn around to see Natsu staring at me with rage. I smirk and cast all slaying elemental roar. (Yeah, overkill.)
He goes down in an instant. I walk out and don't look back. I arrive at Sabertooth and slam open the doors. (Hold up— since when was she at Sabertooth? They aren't that close by.)
Cliffhanger!! (Okay. A cliffhanger is not a true cliffhanger unless people seriously don't know what's going to happen. Sure, they may have a guess, but if they know what's going to happen it's not a cliffhanger. This is not a cliffhanger. This is an annoyance.)
