Come Back (Sequel To: I'm Sorry)

~Chapter 13, Pain~

~Lucy~ 

Next hour we was all in pure shock over what we had found. "IM RELATED TO YOU THEN!" Dimaria shouted looking at Larcade as she only just put that together as we was sitting on the ground inside of August's tent. "I am confused, why hasn't he told mother or father" Larcade spoke in just shock as I was still holding the picture look at it. "We gotta send this to Mavis" I got up grabbing some paper and writing how this boy was August and how he had to of been her long lost son and placed it on the picture.

"Zodiacs" I called summoning the thirteen keys to go around me as the others were quiet watching. I was chanting a small spell before the note and picture vanished. Soon after we headed out knowing August should of been bringing the others back soon as Zodiacs was still moving around me the golden keys glowing in the sunlight. They looked beautiful in my eyes. They always would. "You will just get everyone hurt, why bother helping that old man find family again? Because you can never have one again?" I heard my own voice asking.

The image, the voice, the taint alone was hard to deal with. I understood why people struggled to fight it. "They are late" Larcade spoke looking at the sky as Irene and August were never late on anything in their lives. Zodiacs gave the clashing of keys sound as my eyes widen. I rushed off ahead leaving the camp with the three Spriggans following shouting my name confused and worried. It was a long run but we got to an opening were the welders were trapped in black seals on the ground looking weak and blank.

Irene was trapped in a pure white seal with August was trapped in a blue one. Three unknowns wearing dresses were smirking. They was all pure humans. I moved forward calling Zodiacs to come around me. "L-Lucy get out o-of here" Irene snapped in pure pain stuttering from it as soon Eclair showed up by my side her wings showing. "I may be weaker but I can still fight" Eclair spoke as the other Spriggans came to my side we all ready to fight. "How cute the last welder and they already are tainted, we don't have to do it" one of the girls said.

The one who spoke had long blue wavy hair and red eyes, her skin pure white and pale as she was wearing a short blue battle dress with daggers all around it. "Aqua be fast" another spoke as the blue one move fast about to attack as I was unable to keep up. Eclair was able going behind me along with Brandish them both blocking her attack for me. "Free the welders" Larcade ordered as him and Brandish rushed at the two unknowns as Eclair and Brandish were dealing with this unknown called Aqua. 

I rushed to the others Erza being the first I was getting to who looked toward me her eyes watering as she was badly hurt. "You guys have to fight this, they are trying to put the dark curse on you, unless you fight also your weapons can't protect you" I spoke worried loud enough for the others to see as Erza looked downward toward the ground crying. I was in shock. "What is the point anymore?" she asked whispering as the others were agreeing with her as I was in more shock as I took a deep breath.

I made my tainted wings grow out my back as I walked into the deal the taint growing in a second as my skin was going pale. "LUCY!" I heard Brandish and Irene shout worried as the pain of me fighting was growing as the others on the ground were all looking toward me in shock. "We fight for the future, we fight for each other, we fight for family" I snapped toward them all harshly as they was all so pale. My skin was much more. "Mira what about Lisanna and Elfman? Will you turn and let them die?" I asked looking toward Mirajane.

Her eyes widen as her skin went to normal as she looked toward Demon on her wrist. "Laxus will you turn and let your grandfather get killed along with the people you care for you so much?" I asked as he looked at the ground his skin going back to normal. I then looked toward Jellal. "I was informed you wanted to find a way to atone for your sins Jellal. Doing this will add more, will you let the hope and belief Ezra has for you be for nothing?" I asked him as he looked toward Erza his skin slowly going back to normal.
