3rd P.O.V-Fiore
Lucy was healing, thank Mavis. But she was still unconscious despite being under Wendy's care for the past couple days. Leaving Loki constantly looking after her despite feeling completely and utterly drained.
As a celestial spirit Loki was not made to last long in the human world without the risk of losing magic and disappearing from existence. Granted he could easily return to his world to regain his strength and simply return to his masters' side.
But it was too risky, especially with the serious difference in time between the two realms. So he would stay, stay and wait until Lucy awakens. "Loki-San you should go and rest in the celestial world. Lucy nee-chan told me how bad it is for spirits to stay out in the human world so long."
Wendy nibbles her nail for a bit, worriedly glancing between him and the sleeping Lucy. Softening his gaze he ruffles her hair. "I'm fine Wendy. Thank you for your concern, but I can't leave her." Happy flies over the two snickering.
"He Loooooveeesss her~" The lion in mortal form sighs as he plays with his owners' blonde strands. "Yes...I do. Which is why I refuse to leave." Carla walks up to the little group, huffing while crossing her arms across her chest.
Scowling at the teasing blue feline. "Then you of all people should know she'd hate you weakening because of her." Taking his glasses off, he cleans them. Revealing his exhaustion in the form of bags under his eyes, and pale skin.
He says nothing, because what could he do? What could he say? She was right, Lucy herself had told him time and time again not to push himself. Yelling how badly him overdoing stuff like that worried the absolute crap out of her.
'I almost lost you once Loki, please. Please don't make yourself suffer anymore. Especially for me.' Shaking his head he looks from side to side. Searching. "Where's Shai and Natsu?"
Already the question meant trouble, because both of them were currently missing and that could lead to the pink haired mage possibly dead or being tortured. For Natsu, it was worst then death, the most agonizing of torture.
There he was in the kitchen, sitting at an already prepared table. Snow white and lacy table cloth, decorated with pristine silverware and shiny porcelain. "Now lesson 1, no slouching!" With a demonic smirk the purple furred devil of a kitty cat slaps the tense dragon slayer with a ruler.
"OW!" Shai was ruthless to the core, decked out in a pair of reading glasses he goes full on teacher mode. It's been rather peaceful couple of days, and with no word from his master and dealing with the most destructive mage in Fairy Tail left Shai in a rather frustrated mood.
And what better way to get rid of his pent up rage and irritation than making people he dislikes miserable? So here Natsu was being taught the wonders of proper etiquette and manners. It was going to be a long night.
"NO! Use the utensils, not your bare hands you idiot!" Smack. Smack. Smack, his knuckles was swelling from the intense pain. But it seemed that despite Shai's 'consideration' into making Natsu the perfect gentleman that it was just too much for Natsu to handle.
As he fainted onto the table, and even unconscious was being reprimanded by the purple exeede. "Uh-um, Shai-San?" Wendy looked nervous, clenching her hands together. "Yes Miss. Wendy?" Hesitatingly she walks a bit closer to the cat creature.
"Someone's watching us." Her voice was quiet, practically mouthed out as she glanced from side to side. Shai flaps his wings fluttering onto her shoulder. "How many?" She counts ten, all beginning to close in around the house.
He whispers into her ear. "Grab the pyro, we need to alert Leo without them realizing we're aware of them." Nodding she grabs her fellow dragon slayer, holding him up and dragging him into the living room. But it was too late, they were breaking in. "Shit!"
Loki instantly picks up Lucy, dodging blasts of magic that shattered the windows. Carla and Happy were forming their wings, flapping around the celestial spirit. "Get them!" They were Jing mages, obviously of the assassin lineage.
Shai leaps, taking Natsu from the blue haired girl. "Wake up Dragneel! We have trouble!" Groggily Natsu opens his eyes as he goes flying. "Huh?" His eyes go wide as go meets the eyes of the assassins, smacking right into them.
With the temporary distraction, Shai soars to the wall lined with bookshelves, hidden within was a large brown lacrima. Taking possession of it, the jewel begins to glow. "Activate-Earth Magic! Come forth Terracotta soldiers. I command that you fight off the Jing Intruders!"
At the end of his command bursts of earth depart from the magical item, taking form of ancient warriors. Standing strong and tall, with weapons of all sorts of shapes and sizes. They rush forth, completely ignoring the fighting Fiore mages.
"Loki, Miss. Wendy, Dragneel, Happy, Miss. Carla, let's go!" Using the earth warriors as the perfect distraction, the group make a break for it...well other than Natsu, where Happy has to drag him away.
All of them following Shai upstairs. "Why are we going upstairs!? Shouldn't we just get out and go?" The purple furball opens the door, allowing them in first. "I can't risk the idea of them trying to follow and trap us." Carla scowls at him as she returns to solid ground.
Pointing out that they already have. Her words are ignored as Shai flaps about in the room. It was a vacant room, barely anything there. Except for the large chest in the far end, that Shai opens revealing even more lacrima.
"What is with all the magical items?!" Once more Shai says nothing as he lifts up a rainbow of powered spheres. "My mistress and I have lived in a harsh world. Rule number 1 for survival-always come prepared for anything."
At blinding speeds he rushes forth, placing two more brown ones just outside the door. He whispers to them, uttering the protection command. "Should anymore Jing Intruders approach this room become terracotta soldiers and fight them."
His next choice was a yellow one, it glowing at his touch. "At least here we have weapons to fight back with, compared to going on the run outside where all those assassins came from." He places in on the floor right in front of the door. "Blast anyone that enters this room with electricity."
Then he grabs a white-green one. Gently he puts it on the only windowsill in the room. "Any that try opening the window get ensnared in a sticky web." Lastly he messes with the black orb, it wasn't like with the others magical spheres.
It wasn't stored with magics that could work from his command, but it was a storage lacrima, releasing a simple hand crossbow and arrows. The arrows were small and thin, fitting perfectly in the crossbow. Each tip of the arrow had with a deadly black point.
"Poison. It should do the trick should they get past the traps." Everyone looked at Shai in horror. Poison? "What the hell Shai? You can't be seriously thinking of killing them!" He stares at the lion spirit.
In all honesty this reaction shouldn't of surprised the lavender exeede. "These people don't care for anything but their mission. And that mission is to kill us. Think of your mistress Leo." At the mention of Lucy his grip tightens.
She was still asleep, peacefully unaware of the tension. "B-but still Shai-San! We-it's wrong to kill people!" Natsu was glaring, his eyes glowing a dim red in the light. "You can't just go and murder them." Shai smirked, doing his best to stop a chuckle, still keeping perfect aim on the door.
"But going about demolishing buildings, and 'beating the shit' as they say out of people is any better? Look, none of you lived in the world both myself and those assassins have." His face turns serious, dark even.
He hated the idea of returning to his previous lifestyle, but for the sake of Fiore, his mistress and new companions he would once more take up his deadly policy. "We don't have the choice of fighting them, hurting them, and letting them go."
If he allowed that, then the assassins would simply return, more bent on completing the mission, going to any length needed. Not completing a mission meant failure, and failure, one way or another meant death.
Suddenly Shai, Wendy and Natsu heard it...footsteps. "We've got company." Shai takes to the ceiling, still aiming for the door. "That's enough you creepy cat." Natsu grabs him, yanking him down with a yelp.
"Look I don't know what life you and this mistress of yours went through and I don't care. I'm not gonna stand here and watch you try to kill someone. Loki, Wendy, Lucy, Happy, Carla and I are Fairy Tail Mages. I refuse to stand here hiding and let you take lives..."
