Lucy's fight

Hiro flashed through the forest, collecting Shadows while whistling to himself. He flashed around the forest, there were hundreds if not thousands of Dark Guild Members around here. Each Member of the Oracion Seis had their own guild if he wasn't mistaken, plus the rest of the Dark guilds under Oracion Seis were here as well.

There were truly a lot of people, but they were mowed down rather quickly as Nirvana was unsealed and awakened, a giant mechanical monstrosity rose from the ground and started moving. Hiro's shadow army didn't care and continued to reap lives faster and faster as the army increased in size.

Hiro didn't care either, he saw Richard became a good guy, his brother was the blocky friend of Erza. He kinda liked that blocky dandy guy, plus he just didn't want to kill him. Simple as that.

Hiro flicked around the forest collecting shadows, as Nirvana started moving towards Caitshelter, the guild Wendy was from. Wendy was the Sky Dragon slayer, she even had an Exceed with her, it was a white cat named Carla.

Anyway, a while later

Hiro collected his entire shadow army back into his shadow and patted Blossom's head before she left. What a good girl. Her previous betrayal will be swept under the rug this one time.

Hiro looked up at the walking city and flew up, hovering over the city. He let out his shadow army again and made them check the city for any stragglers.

Another while later

They came back with nothing, Hiro nodded and took the new shadow soldiers and merged them all together into dozens, adding them into the proper shadow soldier ranks. He still needed that Midnight guy, Brain, and the staff.

Well, he didn't NEED them, he wanted them.

So he was going to get them.

It was very simple.

He flew around on his Ice surfboard and looked at Cobra, who was passed out on the ground, before flying past him. As much as he would like a Dragon Slayer, this guy was important for later. Him and his little snake.

He flew around before hovering above Midnight, he floated down to the ground and said "If you wanted to just sleep, you shouldn't have joined a guild. Honestly, bad guys nowadays... Is there a need for everyone to have a tragic backstory..."

He grabbed Midnight's face and obliterated his entire existence, pulling his shadow into his army before flying away.

Nobody had noticed him yet, this was good. He wished he could've seen Lucy fight, but there was always next time.

He suddenly stopped and slapped his forehead before flying away.

He turned invisible and floated in a room, standing on the air. Brain had an alter ego named Zero, this was the guy he wanted, not Brain, that guy was a pussy. This guy was much stronger. Hiro flashed to the Talking staff and snatch it out of the air before having Sun devour it as it screamed in pain.

[Congratulations! You've added Magic Staff to [Sun]]

Hiro ignored it and pulled out a shadow but it was strange, it wasn't a person but a blob of Shadow power. He was pleasantly surprised and kept it as he watched Zero confront Natsu, Gray, Happy, and Lucy.

Lucy was the only one who hadn't fought and Hiro spoke into Natsu and Gray's minds "Let Lucy fight him." Natsu and Gray looked around in shock and Hiro sighed saying "Idiots! Don't make a show! I want to see Lucy fight! You can beat him easily! Find an excuse!"

The duo blinked before Natsu swayed saying "Ugh... Motion sickness!" and collapsing on the ground. Gray held his forehead and said "Ugh! So cold!" before falling backwards.

Hiro felt his entire body twitch, what kind of performance was that. That was terrible. Who would believe that!?

Happy shook Natsu saying "Natsu! Wake up!" Hiro felt his eye twitch, Happy apparently...

Lucy looked at the 2, who winked at her. She almost cried, this guy was seriously scary! Why did she have to fight him?!

Natsu and Gray got up and ran away with Jura, who was unconscious, leaving Lucy and Happy there.

Zero laughed and said "So much for guild bonds! Hahahaa!" Lucy took out her whip and said "They left because I'm enough!" she had a serious look on her face and Zero laughed and said "You?! A woman?! Don't make me lau-" he was cut off by a whip lash to his chest, sending him flying through the building onto the streets of the town on top of Nirvana.

Lucy stood in the hole and said "What was that, scumbag?" Zero held the gash on his chest and grinded his teeth saying "A lucky shot." Lucy smiled and said "I can call the next one for you, 'kay~?" Zero was furious from the humiliation and fired his magic "Dark Rondo!"

Lucy shouted "Happy!" Happy flew over saying "Aye, sir!" turning into twin guns in Lucy's hands as Lucy jumped up shouting angrily "I'M NOT A SIR!" before firing the bullets at the Dark Rondo coming towards her.

The magic exploded mid-way and Lucy landed on another building running on the roof tops, shooting at Zero in a circle. Zero waved with an annoyed expression, a wave of dark green mana shot out and destroyed all the buildings behind and in front of Lucy.

She jumped towards Zero, spinning Happy to her back and pulling out her whip as Happy reverted to normal and grabbed her back, flying towards Zero. Lucy spiraled out of the way of a Dark blast and shot her whip forward, wrapping around Zero's ankle.

She pulled back and pulled his leg out from under him as she moved forward and spun in the air, kicking him in the face, blasting him through several buildings.

Hiro clapped happily as he watched her go.

Zero got up and growled before roaring and his body buffed up before he threw dark magic blasts at Lucy without end. Lucy and Happy dodged to the side and Lucy swung out a key saying "Taurus!"

Taurus, the cow man with a giant axe, came out and moo'd saying "Your body is looking greater than ever, Lucy!" Lucy felt her mouth twitch and she said "We got a fight, Taurus." Taurus seemed to change as he grabbed his axe and grinned "Who's the unlucky guy~" before slashing the magic in half and charging at Zero, swinging his axe over his head at Zero, who dodged and kicked at Taurus, who raised his knee to block before saying "That's not going to work-moo!"

Taurus swung his axe and sent Zero flying.

Lucy held Happy and fired a hail of bullets at the flying Zero, they blew up in her face and increased his speed as he obliterated the buildings in his path.

Lucy ran forward saying "Taurus!" Taurus put his axe back and started running, grabbing Lucy and putting her on his back as he ran after Zero.

Hiro was delighted, honestly, he was so happy, he felt like dancing. She was stronger than Natsu was at this time in Canon! He sent a message to Natsu and Gray "There's 7 Lacrima inside Nirvana, you have to break them all at the same time to stop Nirvana. Go tell Erza."

The duo nodded and left.

Zero got up battered and bruised, he spread his hands out and dark magic gathered as he pun them around shouting "Genesis Zero!" purple people like mana exploded out, covering Taurus, Lucy, and Happy. Lucy force closed Taurus' gate before summoning Leo and disappearing completely.

Zero laughed and said "Now you're just a resident of the Nil world!"

Suddenly!

A crack with bright light appeared in front of him.

Leo punched through the crack and said "Oi... I don't appreciate dark places, pal." Zero was stunned and Lucy said "You ruined my dress!" before running forward with Leo, they both were covered in light and punched Zero in the face, cracking his skull in several places and knocking him out as he crashed through an entire district of buildings.

Hiro smiled and flew after Zero.

Lucy patted her torn dress with a pout and Leo got on one knee saying "Would you like me to get you next clothes, Princess~?" Lucy rolled her eyes and said "Why are my spirits so weird..." Leo chuckled and reverted to normal as he said "We got him."

Lucy smiled happily and said "First fight after training in hell... Victory!" as she high fived Leo and Happy.

Hiro killed Zero and called out his army, he merged Jose, Zero, and the Shadow power together before tearing him into even parts and feeding the mixture to his unique shadows. He realized if he used Jose, he would probably have an entire Wizard Saint army chasing after him.

It was better to strengthen the rest.

And boy did they strengthen!

His unique shadows were monsters by themselves now, he estimated that were all at SS class while the regular soldiers were at high A - low S. He sent them back and didn't forget to pat Blossom on her head, getting a big pout in return before she left.

Hiro smiled happily and returned to the sky to see Lucy celebrating as Nirvana had 7 explosions on it and collapsed to the ground. Hiro floated down while clapping, Lucy, happy, and Leo looked up, Lucy said "Hiro! You're here!?"

Hiro smiled and said "Yep. Excellent work by the way. I saw the whole fight!" Lucy touched the tips of her fingers together saying "Well, you know... I am pretty great~" Leo pushed up his glasses and smiled, Happy held Hiro's pant leg saying "Did you see me!? I did good too!"

Hiro laughed and said "I saw you all. Speaking of which... I, your great teacher, have a gift for you!" Lucy perked up and asked "You're going to pay my rent???" Hiro felt his mouth twitch as he said "No." he was holding out the keys but his hand went down as he said "How can you still not have enough money for rent. How many jobs do you go on? Are you renting the most expensive house?"

Lucy pouted "It's 60,000 Jewel a month..." Happy was stunned and fell over, Hiro said in disbelief "60,000 JEWEL A MONTH?! DOES IT HAVE A MONEY TREE GROWING IN THE BACKYARD?!" Lucy touched her fingers together and said softly, looking in another direction, "It has a big bathroom and spa..."

Hiro blinked, completely speechless. A spa? In your house?! Who's working there?!

Oh wait.

He seemed to have one in his house too...

Realizing this, Hiro coughed and said "I see, worth the price then. Anyway! Here you go." as he held out the 4 Celestial Wizard keys. Leo said "Aries!" Lucy held the keys and said "Where did you get these??" Hiro smiled and said "It was a gift from a nice little girl with white hair and a smug look in her eyes."

Lucy said "Angel?" Hiro replied "Sorano." he looked at Leo and said "She was also the one who killed Karen... Anyway, she broke her contracts. Scorpio is Aquarius' boy friend, Aries is Leo's friend, Gemini is not a bad pair, and the last one is Caelum, it's a robot type thing. I really don't know what he does."

Lucy held the keys and summoned them, making contracts right away with a happy expression. Leo and Aries hugged and cried, Hiro said "Happy, bring her back to the group when she's done." Happy said "Where are you going?" Hiro shrugged and said "Going to find Erza, need to talk about taking in Wendy since Caitshelter isn't a guild."

Happy nodded and said "Yes, very good idea!" Hiro chuckled and said "How's Carla?" Happy was stunned and Hiro said "Oop!" before flying away with a snicker as Happy shook his paw.
