Broken Book 2: Lucy's Return

Chapter 9

Lucy's Grave
"We can't let them have my sisters body under any circumstances!" Luke shouted. Soldiers dressed in black cloaks rushed towards him. He pressed his hands together and vines grew from the ground entangling, and trapping them in place. Slowly squeezing tighter around the men. "Look! Mira and the Master are here!" Cana shouted happily "Don't let you're guard down!" Luke shouted as he barely was able to stop a soldier from stabbing her. "What's the situation?" Master asked, his body growing larger. "We were suddenly attacked only moments after arriving today. They are well prepared, they've brought hundreds of soldiers. It seems Piero is being cautious of Fairy Tails reputation this time." Luke replied with a grunt. "I didn't think they would come so quickly." Master replied honestly. Luke turned and faced the master "We can't let them take her. not only because she's my sister, but also because there's no limit to the evil that Piero has thought of inflicting upon the world." Mira changed into her satan soul and began attacking the cloaked soldiers without question. Cana threw cards at a group approaching from the west. The tide seemingly turned in Fairy Tails favor. "Something seems off though." Luke studied the battlefield scratching his chin. "There hasn't been a single reported sighting of Piero. This is an important battle, there's no way he'd miss out. Is there something else he's after? Could he really be hiding? It wouldn't be a bad idea to let the guild go to war with his soldiers while he hid away safely and waited for the result."
The battle at Lucy's grave escalated, quickly turning into an all out war as more guild members and enemy soldiers appeared. Suddenly fire filled the battlefield. "Natsu." Luke sighed in relief. "Sorry we're late, but we had a little business to take care of first. By the way we found it." The guild members rejoiced as Natsu held up a vile filled with a gold liquid. "Now lets finish this." Erza yelled angrily. "That wont be necessary." A deep voice suddenly thundered. "I'm afraid you're efforts are in vain Fairy Tail." Piero roared happily. He held Lucy tightly in his blood covered arms. "I win!" He turned towards a short plump man with spikey dark blue hair and even darker blue eyes, and they disappeared in a soft blue light. "What!" Natsu panicked. Chasing after the spot where they disappeared. "I'm too late again?" He cried angrily.
