Hi! ;)
Ares is on his way to Fairy Tail. : P
Chapter 11.
Ares looked at the guild with a serious expression. He couldn't believe that he was actually here in the human-world.
"Is anything wrong, mister?" Hiro asked hesitant and scratched his cheek close to the bandage. The two boys that Ares had run into earlier had followed him the whole way. Hiro was a small boy with bright red hair and a bandage on the cheek, he wore a baggy sweater that made him look even thinner than he was. The other boy named, Isao, was even smaller, but a little larger and he wore a blue cap and a hoddie.
"Nothing's wrong, small humans," Ares told him.
"You talk weird," Isao said and stared at him with his big, childish, brown eyes.
"And you're small!" Ares snapped back and patted him on the head to underline his words, "now you'll have to excuse me, I have to clear some things up."
"We'll go with you!" Hiro insisted.
"Huh?" Ares said and stopped in a step, he turned slowly and looked at them with his most threatening eyes, "you don't want to, kid!" he said, but that just seemed to excite them even more.
"Are you going to join Fairy Tail?" Isao asked and stared at him even more.
"With humans? Please..." Ares asked and started walking toward the entrance. To his surprise he heard small footsteps follow him. He turned and looked surprised at the two boys following in his footsteps, "No people under this height!" he said and held his hand a little over their heads.
"But Mister!" Hiro insisted.
"Bye, kid!" he said and turned to the door again. The boys looked sulking at him, but then Hiro whispered something to Isao and they ran off. Ares looked after them with a grin.
He opened the door and expected to see a lot of amazing mages practicing their magic, maybe a huge training area were mages hit the targets with their awesome magic.
"WOW!" he exclaimed when he had to dodge a flying chair.
"What the hell is that suppose to mean!" a high-pitched voice cried out. Ares looked over and saw a boy with flaming pink hair and bright fire shine from his hand. He stared at another boy with pitch-black hair and … no shirt. They both wore bandages and had clearly just been seriously injured, but they still fought? Humans!
"You heard me!" the dark-haired one yelled back.
"Oh, guys!" a female voice broke in, it was a tall white-haired girl with a long red dress and a tray with drinks, "you have been fighting constantly while Lucy have been absent."
They knew Lucy – then they must know Loki too.
"Hey! Violent humans!" Ares called and waved toward them.
"Huh?" the two boys said annoyed and turned to see who had greeted them like that.
"Do you know-"
"Who the hell are you?" Gray asked grumpy.
"How the hell do you think your talking to me!" Ares freaked out immediately and with two huge steps he stood in front of Gray. They were about the same height, so he couldn't tower over him, but he still stared coldly at him.
"Huh?" Gray said surprised and looked at him with confused eyes.
"Who do you think you are?" Natsu asked and crossed his arms.
"I'm a golden key!" Ares said in his normal superior tone.
"Key? Oh, are Lucy back?" Natsu asked and looked past him in excitement. Gray studied Ares.
"Are you one of her newer keys, I have never seen you before, and you don't even have any cool features or costumes," he said and rubbed his cheek.
"For your information I have both wings and horns," Ares said and clenched a fist at Gray.
"Ares?" A voice broke through. Ares turned and his face twisted in annoyance.
"I have been looking for you everywhere!" he said and walked determined toward the tired boy with sunglasses.
"What's with this freak?" Natsu whispered to Gray.
"W-why are you here?" Loki asked with surprise and shock painted in his face.
"How should I know? I landed here after giving Lucy my powers – can you believe it? She took it all!" he groaned and made wild hand movements, "I have lost my horns, wings and powers and been annoyed by THAT ONE-" he pointed accusingly at Gray. Loki ignored the last part.
"Do you remember anything?" he asked instead.
"No," Ares mumbled and lowered his hand, "only that I felt very weak… weaker than I have ever felt before and then everything went, ´POOF´!" he made his hands circle in the air to underline his words.
"Poof?" Loki asked confused.
"Like summoning ´poof´," Ares explained.
"What says, poof?" Natsu asked confused when him and Gray joined them.
"Excuse me, I don't know you," Ares said and waved him off.
"What did you say?" Natsu yelled and clenched a fist toward him.
"I can't believe how perfect you fit into this Guild," Loki sighed.
"Huh?" Ares said surprised.
"Never mind, I'm going to summon Lucy, she's worried sick about you" he said and lifted his hand with her key. Natsu and Gray looked at him with excited eyes. Ares just looked flustered by Loki's words.
"Gate of the Spirits! I open thee! LUCY!" he yelled. The smoke rose around him and a familiar flaming light began to shine in the room. Suddenly the smoke started to smell weird, burned.
"Something's wrong," Loki mumbled, "This is not suppose to happen."
Suddenly rock and dust shattered in a huge explosion. All the Fairy Tail mages that had been sitting and laughed together were blown back in the wave of energy. Ares, Loki, Gray and Natsu also got yanked backwards and banged into the back wall.
"Oh, that poof…" Natsu mumbled and fell flat on his face to the floor.
"Wh-what happened?" Loki got out.
"No offence, but you're a horrible celestial mage," Ares murmured weakly and couched some rocks out of his throat.
"I did what I always do," Loki snapped back.
"What the heck happened?" Elfman coughed from the other side of the room. Levy coughed too and looked at Loki. All the mages seemed surprised.
"H-hey! Sorry about that," Loki said and waved his hands apologizing.
"What's this?" Ares said wondering and walked to the place the explosion had started. In the middle of a burned circle lay a document. "The Switch Document." Ares read and picked it up from the floor.
"What?" Loki asked surprised and hurried by his side to read.
"It's the contract I signed with Lucy," Loki said and took it from Ares fingers. He groaned annoyed, but Loki ignored him, "some of the words have changed."
Gray and Natsu hurried over and looked over Loki's shoulder.
"SOOooo…" Ares asked and stared at Loki's eyes that ran back and forth the document, "what does it say?"
"You big idiot!" Loki exclaimed and almost curled the paper. He lifted his head and stared at Ares with accusing eyes, "how could you give all your powers to a Switch Spirit?"
"What? What did I do?" Ares asked flustered and held his hands up in defense.
"You are now part of the contract you huge moron!" Loki said and threw the document to the ground with as much force he could manage.
"Speak human – no scratch that –" Ares mumbled.
"Your powers got mixed up with Lucy's," Loki said and closed his eyes in annoyance, "she is a mix of human and spirit at the moment – and all your powers went to the spirit part and made her human-part get so suppressed that it moved to your body, because of lack of space!"
"Oh… um… what?" Ares mumbled and scratched his hair.
"Think of it as a glass of water," Loki mumbled, "the water is her human-part, what happen when you blow air down the glass with a straw?"
"The water overflow," Ares said and smirked that he had managed to answer a question.
"Exactly," Loki sighed, "now she is more spirit than human."
"And… I guess that's … bad?" Ares questioned.
"I'm not sure," Loki mumbled, "but now you're a part of the contract, that's why you're human."
"I see," Ares mumbled and looked down at himself, "so this is like a temporary meat-suit. Not that it matter, we just summon Lucy and make everything back to normal."
Gray and Natsu looked back and forth between them while the conversation went on.
"It's not that easy," Loki mumbled and picked the contract back up and held it up in front of Ares while holding him finger across the second line, "it says that ´When the last minute have passed, the owner have to switch back with her one spirit´"
"So?" Ares asked confused.
"Her one spirit," Loki repeated and something seemed to click in Ares head.
"Oh no! No, no no no!" he said and backed away from Loki, "I'm going home! I'm not staying here."
"I'm not sure you have a choice," Loki mumbled, "I must kind of say, its good news for me." He looked innocently to the ceiling.
"What's that suppose to mean!" Ares yelled angrily.
"I'll get all your powers when we switch back," Loki said with a smirk.
"NO WAY IN HELL!"
Lucy gasped for air and held around her body. She had had a weird feeling that she was being summoned, but then it had just stopped and a paper lay by her feet.
"The Switch Document?" she read wondering and started reading. Her eyes grew as she read.
"I-I'm a spirit?" she said shocked and looked at her hands, "I have all Ares powers. The powers of a golden spirit." She had to say it out loud to make sure it was really the truth. Then she would be able to go to the human world without being summoned – like Loki.
It was worth a shot.
She closed her eyes and focused. She cleared her mind and though of Loki.
"No way!" Ares cried out and pushed Loki to the ground and started punching wildly at him. Loki raised his hands and stopped the attacks with ease. He clenched a fist and hit Ares as hard as he could.
Ares cried out in frustration when Loki had him pinned to the ground a moment later - his foot pressed against his skull. He cursed angrily and closed his eyes in anger. Loki removed his foot and sighed.
"How many timed do we have to go through this?" Loki asked.
"I won't let you!" Ares yelled and hurried to his feet, his eyes shone with anger, "I have wanted to surpass you my whole frikin' life. I pushed myself to the limits… but you was always better than me," Ares said furiously and his knuckles turned white, "When you became a Golden Key I pushed myself there too, and now… I'm taking a step back, when you take five forward!" he yelled frustrated. Loki sighed.
"It's your own fault."
"Would you have let her die?" he said and raised an eyebrow.
"N-no but-"
"See! You owe me for saving her!" he said and smirked.
"How do I own you?" Loki said and stared at him.
"Because you love her and I did it for you," Ares said and crossed his arms.
"So you don't feel anything for her at all?" Loki said skeptically.
"W-well…"
"HA!" Loki exclaimed and pointed at him.
"Shut up!"
Suddenly a cloud of smoke rose from the floor and they stopped instantly. A figure showed in the smoke and a pair of excided brown eyes shone from inside the smoke.
"Did you see that? I summoned without being summoned!" Lucy said stunned. Ares pulled back in surprise.
"L-Lucy?" Loki said, surprised at first, but then his lips spread in a grin, "you're back."
"Loki," Lucy said and her voice suddenly sounded sad. He hurried toward her and lifted her head up so he could look her in the eyes.
"What's wrong?" he whispered and looked at her with worried eyes.
"It's Ares… he's dead…" she whispered sadly.
"Really?" Loki said and almost laughed, "What makes you think that?"
"It's not funny! I saw his dead body… it was horrible, it's all my fault," she said and her eyes turned blank with tears.
"Hmm… he seems pretty energetic to me," Loki mumbled and spun her around. Her eyes widen in shock and surprise.
"Yo!" Ares said and lifted a hand.
"Y-you…" she began stunned, then her eyes turned hard, "IDIOT!" she yelled and pushed her palm into his chest with all her strength. He exclaimed a surprised ´Guh! ´, when she hit him.
"Careful!" he complained, "I'm just a fragile human! This body breaks easily."
"Idiot! Idiot!" she yelled at him and stared at him with angry eyes, "I thought you was dead. Why aren't you dead?"
"Well, I'm sorry to be alive," he said grumpily and held her an arms length away from his body, "now give me my powers back!"
"Excuse me!" she said surprised.
