Hell
Everyone came tumbling out of the portal landing in an odd setting. Lucy took a deep breath before looking around, her hands tightened around her tiara before slowly placing it on her head. Everyone was looking around, in some area's there were blazing fires as far as the eye could see, in others, there was ice, overgrown plants, areas that were incredibly windy and heaps of other elements, Natsu stared at everything, he turned to Lucy, and said
"What is this" Lucy rolled her eyes and said
"This is my home, hell silly" Natsu nodded his eyes looking around in curiosity. Erza was also looking around, her face slightly confused.
"So why is there a different landscape for each of the area" Lucy smiled at her.
"Good question, well, Natsu, Gajeel listen up closely, each of these represents a certain dragon, for example see that overgrown area over there, that's where Hayashi (A/N means forest) the nature dragon lives, and over there in the snow area is where Frostia the Ice dragon lives!" Natsu looked at Lucy eyes wide.
"So in the fire area over there, does that mean-?" Lucy nodded at him.
"Yep, that's where Igneel lives and over in the area with all the metal covering the land, that's where Metellicana lives!" Natsu smiled widely.
"So can we umm you know" Lucy laughed at his question.
"We were going to see him anyway, the castle is over in the fire area, remember he is the guard for our castle" Natsu's face brightened up massively almost splitting his face.
"Awesome let's go" Gajeel smirked as well.
"I am so going to beat up that metal lizard!" Lucy looked over at the two dragon slayers and couldn't help but feel glad. She had always known that their dragons were in hell, but she knew that she could never tell them, so finally knowing after so many years, it made her so happy to see them so excited.
"Alright, but first I need to stop by Stella, she is the celestial dragon, I need to give her my keys" They nodded and Erza smiled.
"This will be a good opportunity for myself and Gray because we have never seen a real-life dragon before" Lucy nodded and said
"Oh, and also, Gajeel, Natsu, since Happy and Lilly are not here you guys like Erza and Gray will have to fly using the wings you have, alright lets go" Lucy was lifted off the ground, her wings flapping and she flew over helping the others along the way. They eventually reached a land that looked similar to the celestial spirit world, Lucy turned to her friends and said
"Alright, you guys ready for this!" they all nodded and Lucy turned around and chanted
"Stella, Dragon of Celestial magic I summon thee" Suddenly there was a bright light making everyone cover their eyes, when they uncovered them, standing in front of them was a humungous dragon, its talons long and sharp, its golden scales flickering in the light, its wings stretched wide and it's blue eyes darting around, it's eyes rested on Lucy and said
"Princess Lucillia, what are you doing here, I haven't seen you in a very long time, have you come to help your people with war?" Lucy smiled slightly.
"Not exactly" Stella nodded.
"Well anyway that's none of my business, what you do with your life is up to you but may I ask what are you here for Princess Lucillia" Lucy smiled.
"I have come to give you my celestial spirit keys, please take good care of them" Stella nodded, bowing her head.
"Of course, since you are here now I must tell you that your Uncle is in the front lines, our dragons heard him bragging about making some girl paralyzed, waist down, for us dragons it does sadden us a little, having looked after humans ourselves but I do understand how your people are so I'm sure you are delighted!" Lucy felt her stomach twist at the statement. She knew the looks her friends were giving her but she also knew that acting different now wouldn't turn out well. She knew she had grown, grown to love humans and everyone around, and the fact Stella would even suggest that she would enjoy such a thing made her want to vomit. Instead, she took a deep breath and forced out a smile and nod.
"Yes, I think I have heard, it's a pretty impressive achievement though I won't lie I think some of my feats have been more impressive, I rip out someone's heart once and suddenly my uncle makes it a competition!" Stella let out a roar throwing her head back as she turned back to Lucy.
"Disgusting as it is, no one can ever beat that. We have missed you greatly Princess Lucillia, if there is anything I can do please ask, thank you for taking the time to come visit me, I am honored." Lucy grinned giving Stella a quick hug before turning and waving.
"We are going to the cave, I'll see you later" Stella nodded and Lucy guided her friends towards a cave sitting up on top of the hillside.
They walked in silence away from the dragons and away from the people until they reached the cave. Lucy felt danger prickling and as she turned around she felt herself smashed up against the rock, Gajeel holding her against the rock, Lucy let out a cry. Natsu ran forward, his eyes dark he was standing close to Gajeel, letting out a warning snarl.
"Gajeel-" but even Lucy knew that Natsu wasn't going to stop him, she saw the rest of her friends standing back as well. Gajeel glared spitting out at her.
"What the fuck is wrong with you, is this all a joke, Levy is your goddamn best friend why the hell would you joke about that, I swear to god Lucy, if this hell trip is us seeing who you truly are I hope that you stay here because that was disgusting and Levy deserves better. You should be defending her, not laughing about it." Gajeel was fuming and Lucy took a breath as she felt her eyes watering.
"I know I know, I'm so sorry Gajeel, all I want is to defend Levy, you know I want to kill my uncle just as much as you do for what he did to her but I can't do anything about it, I am expected to find those things appealing, and I have my whole life, I am the princess of hell for fucks sake, I can't just suddenly say, I think killing is terrible, I'm meant to like, I was made to like it, to torture and enjoy it but I swear to you, that was my life years ago before I even knew you, all I want is to leave it behind and start afresh." Gajeel glared at her but let his hand drop, Lucy falling to the ground Natsu quickly went over and picked her up holding her close. Erza walked up to Lucy.
"So why are we here?" Lucy took a breath before looking up.
"Well unfortunately I can't just walk into the castle, well actually I can but you can't because you would be scanned and it's a whole process and they'd find out that you aren't real devils, but when I was younger I found some secret ways in so follow me" they nodded and Lucy pressed her hand on a spot in the wall and a passage opened up. Lucy stepped inside and signaled for them to follow. Natsu used fire to light up the tunnel walking next to Lucy, his gaze falling on all the inscriptions on the walls. Gray suddenly spoke up, his voice echoing in the tunnel.
"What are all these paintings on the wall?" Lucy tilted her head to look at the ones he was talking about.
"Well, it's our ancestors, my father and mother are here" She stopped and pointed at the picture. Erza looked at her mother.
"You haven't mentioned her much, but she looks very beautiful.
"She is very pretty, she is the goddess of creation though, this is how they depicted her" Lucy smiled as she spoke about her, then pointed to some more drawings.
"This is my brother, Hiro, he so has the hots for Serena" a picture of a boy, he had black hair and red eyes, he seemed incredibly cute. Natsu suddenly spluttered.
"Woah ok backtrack, you have a brother, since when!" Lucy shrugged.
"Well since forever, never really needed to mention him before, don't worry though, he's not going to do anything. Then Lucy pointed to another picture.
"This is me" Everyone stared at the picture, it showed a young girl with long golden hair, her eyes though unlike the others which were red, were completely blue. Gajeel looked at Lucy and said
"Hey bunny girl why do you look so different?" Lucy looked down her bangs covering her eyes and said
"I don't know, you are only meant to have blue eyes if something is wrong with you, no one has ever had blue eyes, so I wasn't treated the same as everyone else until I made the red, it, it was awful." Natsu gave Lucy a little hug.
"Don't worry Luce, come on, let's keep going" They walked away and Erza grinned before whispering to Gajeel and Gray.
"Those two are completely in love, I can't wait until we get back to our world." Everyone else nodded and continued following Lucy down the hallway.
They reached the end of the passage and Lucy turned to them before speaking.
"This door leads to my room, I have a potion there that will make you make you invisible, only I will be able to see you alright" They nodded and Lucy led them in. Everyone was staring at the room, no one said a thing their eyes wide. Erza was the first to speak, her voice slightly shaky.
"Lucy, we are here for you if you need any, help." Lucy turned confused at the question, before looking at her room, her face dawning with realization.
"What, ohh yeah, my room has corpses everywhere doesn't it?" the room had a pile of corpses in the corner and it was completely black, her bed was a massive black bed, technically everything was black, Lucy smiled.
"Oh don't worry, this is fine, I would put a spell so it looks like this, to me it looks like a normal girls room." She quickly waved her hand and the corpses disappeared, fairy lights on top of her bed and polaroids of what seemed like her and her devil friends everywhere. there was a picture of her family standing in front of the castle, Lucy turned it down and grabbed a potion and poured it into 4 cups, and gave it to them, drink up" They nodded and drank the cups, right as they did the door opened and a man walked in, straight up to Lucy
"Lucillia Darkheart, it's been years has it not" Lucy sneered at him.
"You"
