Chapter 14

Back to When Cobra was fighting..

Cobra snarled as he was thrown into a tree and had snow dumped on his head. He shook his head throwing the snow off of him before standing up then dodging to the side as a beam of golden light hit where his head had been. "How do you know where i'm aiming at?" Sun asked as she glared at Cobra who remained silent deciding it would be best not to tell her that he can hear her thoughts.

"Hmph! Fine don't tell me I'll just bet it out of you!" Sun then leaps at him while turning into a eagle and dive bombs him but misses every time as Cobra listens silently to her thoughts before leaping up and slashing one of her wings making her crash into the ground. Sun stood and quickly changed into a different form while growling deeply before lunging at Cobra who just smirked and dodged the attack.

"Your really slow." Cobra commented as he watched Sun who turned human and shot out a beam of golden light at him. Cobra just yawned and dodged before leaping at her while saying "Poison Dragon Claw!" His hand that looked like a claw shape and was glowering purple with poison slashed down at Sun who barley dodged it.

I'll act like i'm going left but actually attack right. Sun thought and Cobra's ears pricked up at that and he watched as she faked left and acted like he was going to dodge left moving just as she leaped to the right at him he moved towards the left and slammed a fist into her. Sun fell to the side and growled while thinking How does he know my every move?

Sun growled and went to attack again but froze as she heard Moon's scream echo through her mind. Moon! Was all she thought as she lashed out with her claws in her wolf form before turning and running towards where her brother was fighting against the blonde Celestial Wizard. Cobra didn't have dodge and he felt a small cut on his cheek before he took after Sun who was running towards where Lucy was fighting and heard her scream "MOON!"

Present Time

Lucy stared at the giant dog that she quickly knew was Cerberus the gate keeper of hell and they didn't seem happy. (She calls Cerberus they because of the three different heads). Cerberus body was as big as the guild hall of Fairy Tail, with huge paws that had lion claws coming out of them. Cerberus's pelt was pure black and short so that you could see the muscles that were underneath flex as he moved. The three heads were Pit Bull like with red glowering eyes and two long curved fangs that came out of there mouth. The one to the left had his left fang broken in half while the one on the right had his right fang broken in half and the center didn't have either fang broken in half. Three snakes hissed from there rear end acting like tails as they moved and hissed not having any eyes.

"It's Cerberus the gate keeper of hell." Lucy whispered from where she stood next to Cobra watching the giant dog stalk towards them there tails lashing and hissing while they growled murderous looks in there eyes. "Stay behind me I'll defeat them and then we can get in the temple and leave."

"No." Lucy said while pushing herself up from Cobra before starting to walk towards Cerberus while Cobra took a step after to to stop her but ended up tripping and fall from his own coat being placed right in front of him by a certain blonde. "Blondie get back!" Cobra yelled at her while untangling his feet from his coat and hopping to his feet then going to dash towards her but froze as he saw Cerberus standing right in front of her the three heads tilted to the side.

"I'm not going to hurt you, and I don't want to rule the world or destroy it or anything I want to save it!"

"Why" the middle one said.

"Should" the one to the left said.

"We" the one on the right said.

"Trust" the middle head said.

"You?" they all said together while bending there necks to look down at the tiny human in front of them.

"Because I tripped my partner so he couldn't hurt you, I haven't summoned any of my spirits to fight you, and" Lucy paused as she gently placed her keys plus Yukino's keys on the snow covered ground "I don't have my keys anymore and am defenseless and we all know that Cobra wont reach me in time to save me if you attack."

The three heads looked at each other before finally the center one brought his head lower to look at Lucy, his red eyes meeting her brown while the other heads watched Cobra's every move before finally the center went and said "Why are you here?"

"Because I am trying to find the 4 keys that can save or destroy the world, and also i'm going to try to keep the keys out of the hands of dark guilds who want to use them to harm others!"

"You have Phoenix already correct?" the soft voice of the left head asked not growling or looking quite as scary but more as a shy kind of look on it's face. Lucy nodded before the right head growled "And you have Phoenix's guardian key?"

"Guardian key?" Lucy asked confused.

"They mean me." Corvus's voice reached Lucy's ears as he appeared on his own magic the baby crow still in his hands.

"Corvus" the middle head said "Weren't you suppose to make sure Phoenix's key never got a master? Just like it is are job to make sure are key is never suppose to get a master."

Corvus shrugged before saying "It's finally time for the 4 keys to have owners like it's the guardian's time to have master's to and I decided to let the blonde over here to become the master for my brother and I. Now will she become the master for you and your key Cerberus?"

Cerberus was about to answer but Lucy cut them off as she said "Whoa, whoa, whoa. What are the guardian keys? And what do you mean your suppose to make sure Phoenix never got an owner?"

Corvus glanced over at her before saying "The guardian keys are 4 key that are the closes to the 4 Legendary keys. Like how I am Phoenix's brother makes me his guardian who is suppose to kill anyone who tries to make a contract with him."

"Why didn't you kill me then?" Lucy asked as Cobra came to stand on her other side.

"Because your the one who is suppose to be our owner I could feel it inside me. Other spirits can feel it to." Corvus told her before saying "Cerberus is a guardian key because he is the closes to the key inside the temple with them being lovers and all, but of course they haven't seen each other in almost 300 years right?" Cerberus three heads just glared at him before the left one nodded. "How about you make a contract with blondie here and let her get the Legendary keys besides I know you've been itching for a good fight to."

Lucy turned towards Cerberus and watched as the three heads growled and snapped before the middle bite the right head then the left shutting them both up as he thought. Corvus smirked before leaving back to the Celestial World while Cobra grabbed Lucy's arm and whispered "Are you sure you can trust that dog thing?"

"Cerberus is a spirit not a dog thing Cobra!" Lucy hissed in a whisper to "Besides he could have killed us long ago, instead of just listening to me and Corvus."

Cobra rolled his eyes before dropping his coat onto Lucy while saying "It's still snowing and your shriving still so put my coat on." he then looked away towards Cerberus and saw the right head seeming to be asleep while the left head was swaying softly from side to side and the middle one was watching Lucy and Cobra before saying "We have decided that we will join you to find the other keys and guardian's but we must warn you the other guardian are not like us. Were we listened before attacking they will attack and go to kill you without a second thought."

"Now Master we can come to your side any day that is needed all we ask though is that if we ask for a day off you give it to us and that in big battles we fight along side the key that is in the temple."

"Of course! Now what are your powers? And do you each have a name so I can call you that instead of right, left, and middle head? Oh! And call me Lucy or Princess please I don't like being called Master because were friends now." Lucy said with a beaming smile towards the three heads two of which were awake. "No we each do not have names." The middle head told Lucy while he controlled there body to sit down then saying "You may name us if you like but first allow me to tell you of are powers."

The left head stopped swaying and moved to look at Lucy before saying "I can use the powers of black ice the most coldest ice in the world that if touched by a human can kill them. I can also create blizzards or just make it lightly snow like it is now."

The right head opened his eyes when the center head hit him. The right growled before saying "I have the power of the black fire which will burn through anything and nothing can stop it unless I want it to stop."

Finally the middle head spoke saying "I control all the elements from hell though my black fire and black ice is not as strong as the others it still is a force to be scared of, also we can summon an army of hellhounds along with that are tails can disconnect from us for ten minutes and kill the enemies with there poison. Also we can change are size either making our selves bigger or smaller."

"Cool!" Lucy said as she started to jump up and down not noticing she was doing it while Cobra just sweat dropped. Lucy then grinned before pointing at the left head and saying "I name you Kar it means Snow in Turkish. And you" she points at the far right head "Are Ignis or Ig for short means Fire in Latin." she then turned to the center head grinning before saying "And you are now Yoso means Elements in Japanese!"

The three heads looked at each other then nodded while there snake tails started to move side to side before a silver and gold colored key appeared in her hands with a black colored gate on it with three red eyes behind the gate. Lucy smiled at them and said "Can you led us to the key you were protecting?"

"Of course Princess." they said together before turning and leading the way. With Lucy and Cobra following closely behind Lucy holding Cobra's coat tightly around herself.
