Natsu’s Point Of View

In came Lerenzo and Lucy carrying stacks of paper. The thing was that she looked different. Her hair was short bout mid-back and curly, she looked a little shorter in height and her eyes weren't their usual chocolate brown, they were blue. But I knew that blue, it was the same shade of blue from yesterday but unlike yesterday it was full blue no other color. Her clothes were also different. They were the usual black colors but the shirt was sleeveless and it ended before her stomach.  Her pants ended at her knees and she was wearing no shoes. They were talking. Lucy looked so happy even after what happened not even half an hour ago. They placed the papers down on the table and Lucy sat on the table, legs dangling. I could see that Kalmte was irradiated.

“Why are you in control?” She asked.

“Lucy said that she needs time to herself so she let me be in control. I promise that I won't cause any problems.”

“And she trusted you to not do anything or lose control?”

“Well, as long as you're here and I kind of stay in this room then I'll be fine.”

“Kalmte, just leave it be. Its been a while since she’s been in control.” Lerenzo said.

“So who’s this?” Gramps asked. We were all confused.

“Oh, you don't know who I am. Well, the name is Celie. Nice to meet you all.” She said with a smile. Celie was more happy and outgoing.

“Celie? So are you another person or personality like Guardian?” Levy asked.

“Well, yes. I am a different person. In this body, there are three people, me, Guardian, and Lucy. Lucy is the main person.”

“How come we never heard bout you?”

“Well, I'm dangerous as everyone else says.”

“What do you mean that you are dangerous?” Erza asked.

“Well, I started forming when Lucy learned a type of magic. The magic had to do with an old animal that celestial magas were close with. So if you learn this magic you’re supposed to do something which has been forgotten and it's supposed to make sure that another person, I would say, is made. So sometimes my primal instincts would take over which is bad. That's why Lucy wears Limitered to keep how much magic is used down.”

“So what happens when these primal instincts take over?”

“The only time these instincts took over was when I felt that I was in danger. This instinct would defect whoever is near me which makes me dangerous. I would even attack innocent people or people who haven't done anything. I can't control who I attack. That's why there’s a seal on me.”

“A seal?” Carla said.

“Yup,” She pulled her shirt down a bit and a purple seal appeared on her skin. “It helps keep me in control so when I lose myself, the seal will activate and till I'm bout to hurt someone to a certain point or if I use too much magic it will shock me till I give control back to Lucy or Guardian.”

“So what type of animal is this?” Levy asked. Celie didn't say anything. She looked at Kalmte as if she wasn't sure if she should answer. 

“Are you not supposed to say what it is or-.”

“No, it's just Lucy wasn't going to say anything till a little bit later.”

“So she was going to keep that another person was living in the same body as her a secret. What other secrets does she have that she can't tell us?” Erza said, getting angry.

“It's not like that, *sigh* it's hard. We were near doing something that could have been bad. We are in a constant battle with people that we know we won't be able to defeat. Well as of right now. Lucy and Guardian made some calculations that we might be able to defect them in the future. They said that at first when it was just us, we had a low chance of winning but since going back with you guys, it has grown bigger. We just need to keep at the pace we are at now which is getting information."

“So we now have a chance of beating them?” Gramps asked.

“Yup, with whatever information we have now, they are slowly making a plan and every day we get more information which is making the plan grow more. Every now and then they have to change the plan to fit with the new information but they have one. That is what counts. Everyday we get closer to the battle that will determine who wins.”

“Do you know of this plan?” Kalmte asks. You could tell that this is the first time she’s hearing this.

“A little, so there are five members of the top group, gin and all them, and the leader of the group. So far they think the best action is to pick people from the Fairy Tail Guild to fight these people. So someone would fight Gin and so on. They think it would be better if the fights were nowhere near each other so that they can't help each other. The leader or the Guild master since we have no information on her besides her name they think it's best if Lucy or us three will fight her.”

“But what if she beats you?”

“Remember there are three people in this body so if Lucy gets defected than me or Guardian will take control and if one of us gets defected than the other will take control. But even so, if need be the seal will come off and this most likely will be the only time that my primal instinct will take control. But with the plan, I'm the last person to take control since we know that if my primal instincts take control in the end then I won't be defeated till the person is dead. Even if my magic is gone and I'm near death. The animal that I am will kill anyone to ensure that they are safe or die trying. And we already know that I can't die but that's what we are worried bout. That you guys might die in this battle or war.”

“You’re family. We fight alongside our family.'' I finally said something. I hear everyone else say right.

“Even so we can't let those people harm anyone else. They already harm so many people, we have to put their plans to an end.” Kalmte said.

“Right, I'm tired of being pushed around by these people.'' I didn't even focus on what else she was saying. I could see scales grow on her skin. It was like when I, Wendy, or Gajeel go into Dragon Force. She jumped off the table and turned to Kalmte and said something before looking back at us. Her eyes were still blue but the pupils turned into slits. There were scales under her left eye, on the left side of her neck, on her left forearm, and on her hip. She smiled at us and we could see that her canines were sharper than usual.

“Celie, um what animal did you say that you were again?” Wendy asked.

“Hmm, what do you mean?” She asked in confusion.

“Um well, you grew scales and your eyes,” Erza said.

“Is the animal a dragon, Celie?” Levy asked before anyone could say anything.

“Umm, I um, maybe.” She said it looked like she wanted to get out of this situation.

“Yes,” Kalmte answered her.

“Why did you say anything?” Celie asked.

“It's better to get it out now and not later. Also so you won't have to lie either. Not everything can be kept a secret.”

“How, how can you be a dragon?”

“Well, I'm not actually a dragon. I'm what you guys call a dragonslayer.”

“Ok, but how? There are no dragons alive.” Wendy asked.

“You know the person that was like a second mother to Lucy, well she was a dragon. She lived after the war with dragons but she lived with humans. Since she was able to have a human form. She taught Lucy and she couldn't go into Lucy cause well she was killed. Since she didn't go in Lucy as the other dragons did, as Lucy used her Dragon Slayer magic it slowly let me take form.”

“So if Wendy and Natsu’s dragons didn't go in them then they would have another person with them?” Gray asked.

“I don't know. I'm still young in Dragon terms.”

“What do you mean in dragon terms?” Gramps asked.

“Well, how you humans age is different from dragons. For us, 100 years is like how you guys say that you are 1 year old. Since I'm two years old, in dragon years I'm still a baby.”

“So you will be living a human life?” I asked. She nodded. This was so much information to take in. So we know that we have a possibility to win against Dark Night, Lucy has another person in her body, this person is a dragon and Lucy is a dragon slayer. This just adds more to the list of things that we didn't know. 

“Is that all we need to know?” Kalmte asked, crossing her arms.

“Yup, that's all I gotta say.”

“Are you sure?” We all say at once. 

“Mhmm.” She said with a smile.

“Anyway, we need to figure out what are gonna do bout all those towns and villages that are marked.”

“Your right. This confuses me.” Erza says.

“Well, they have marked and attacked towns and villages in the past but they never marked so many at once. What ideas do you have?”

“Well, Lucy thought that they were just trying to throw her off their track so they can attack the guild,” Carla said.

“Or that they might attack each one right after each other,” Gray said.

“She also said that they might attack all of them at once but even she thinks that's dumb,'' I said.

“Not really, it's kind of smart,” Lerenzo said.

“What do you?” Kalmte asked.

“Celie can you pull up the map of all the towns that are marked.” Celie pulled a little lacrima ball, pressed a button on it, and up came a map. Some towns were highlighted in blue while others were in purple.

“The purple one are we know for sure they mark while the blue are the ones that we think they are gonna mark soon.”

“There’s what, 20 mark purple and 15 marks blue. That's so many.”

“That's what everyone's thinking cause it's not something they think they would do. I think that if they attack all the towns at once it will stretch our forces and Lucy can only be in place to which limits things for us to do. It will ensure that they will get at least 5 towns but it will cause them a problem too. Their forces will be cut too. Depending on the towns’ population they have to send a certain amount of people to each town and in doing so each of their bases might not have as much security as it usually has. Also if they plan that some towns might not be able to fight back than they might send only enough to deal with the town. Which if our guards or Lucy are in that town then most likely that might fail. I'm not sure if that part is right but that's a theory that I have.”

“Any theory is helpful right now but do you guys have any kids at the guild?”

“Yes, one. Gray’s son.” Gramps said.

“Well, if they are planning on attacking you guys they might go after your son first before anything else.” Kalmte started to be lost in thought.

“Why?”

“It's honestly the only way they know for sure that they will get Lucy.”

“Yes, we knew that but why is my son and let's say not any other kid?” Gray said.

“Dragon Instinct, for us dragons, we have a need to protect any child even if they are not our own. Even if we didn't know the child we will still want to protect them. It is for both males and females but the female instincts are stronger. If we know the child and we either looked after the child once or if it's our friend's child we will still want to protect it. So if they were to go after your child, Gray, then Lucy or I mainly would want to save them or protect them.” Celie butted in.

“That makes sense, it is a natural instinct for a mother to protect a child even if it's not their own,” Levy said. We continued talking, making plans for any possible situation to come, coming up with theories, and just figuring some things out.
