When Lisanna comes back from the "dead," Lucy is neglected by her friends and family, the people who she trusted, the ones she called nakama. Some stay by her side, like Gray and Levy, but many wanted her out of the guild! One day, when she is repeatedly called weak and kicked out of Team Natsu, she goes on a journey to become stronger and find her true self. But when she goes to the lost town of Athos, also known as the Valley of Dragons, she is ambushed by a rogue, looting guild. Overpowered by sheer numbers and at a disadvantage because of lost magical energy, she tries her hardest to survive, but gives up all hope as she is about to die.
But she doesn't. She is saved by Mizuko, the Water Dragon. Lucy follows Mizuko to meet all the Dragons, Igneel, Grandine, and even Metalicana! Along with other Dragons, Lucy spends years learning the Lost Magic, Dragon Slaying. After mastering every single element, she is dubbed, "Queen Lucy, Ruler of the Dragons." As a precaution for their Queen, Mizuko and the other Dragons send her to the Demon Town, Defloria, where she meets the "King of Demons."
❤Meet Azazel, the Demon King with a dark past.
❤Haunting her past, she meets Natsu and Gray, once again.
❤Along the journey, Lucy meets Sting Elucliffe and Rogue Cheney, the Twin Dragons from Sabertooth.
❤ But somewhere out there, Zeref is hunting her down.
It weighs on Lucy's shoulders to defeat Zeref before he brings the whole world of Earthland down. But amongst the way, she will risk having her heart broken, into little fragments, never to be whole again. Join Lucy, in her journey of life and fate; Only, in this life, Lucy is the controller of destiny. She decides whether humanity lives--Or dies.
"You're weak Lucy!" Natsu slammed his hands on the table, "That's why you can't come on this job. You'll die."
Lucy started to cry, "I'm not weak, Natsu," she shook her head as he walked away.
"Yes you are. You haven't trained like Gray, your power isn't as strong as Erza's, and you can't match a dragonslayer with celestial spirits," Dragoneel looked over his shoulder, "I waited this long to tell you. It's time to face the facts."
This set her off. She felt as though she deserved to be revered as strong because of all the things she and Natsu had done together: the jobs, the everyday crisis, even when he almost said he liked her.
But now his words pained her, they shot her in the heart and she realized that Natsu never liked her.
