At the guild
Lucy's P.O.V.
"Finally I am back, I can't deal with Jude anymore!" I yelled as I entered the guild, then I stopped.
"Lu, what is the matter?" Erza asked me.
"I smell a blonde lightning git." Was all I said.
"Wait Lucy how do you know what Laxus smells like?" Gray asked.
"I met him two or three years ago when he was on a mission I had a cloak on so he didn't see me but his smell hasn't changed also he was a git then and a git now." I replied.
"Lucy let me take him he deserves a beating for something he said." Natsu asked me.
"Stella what is happening, Lucy and Natsu both have a dark aura?" Happy asked Stella.
"Why if it isn't the heiress and the fire dragon." Laxus sneered.
"Why if it isn't the fake ass wannabe lightning dragon." I sneered back, everyone was in shock.
"Blondie do tell how come a weakling like you can figure it out, but someone like Gildarts can't." He laughed.
"You know what is more funny then the fact that you call yourself a dragon slayer is your lack of information as I am known as the strongest celestial mage in existence a.k.a the celestial dragon slayer and you are blonde too dumbass." I yelled up to him, my wings out.
"Lucy calm down your wings are out." Stella yelled to me, I didn't give a flying fuck about the situation I didn't listen.
"Luce don't worry." Natsu told me, putting a hand on my shoulder and he moved so he was in front of me.
"Oh look here is Dragneel protecting his little girlfriend." Laxus laughed.
"Listen here Laxus if you don't want to end up like that cursed flute Lucy destroyed I would stop now." Natsu said with a serious expression on his face.
"Who knew flame brain could be so serious." I heard Gray whisper.
"Yep that's my Natsu." I whispered.
"Natsu you have grown a pair wow what a surprise I thought you would be a coward your whole life." Laxus laughed.
"That's it Laxus I don't give a shit if you are S-Class get your lightning ass down from the second floor so you can see that you don't piss off a female dragon!" I yelled with such determination you could see in my eyes I wanted to go full on dragon on his pathetic ass.
"Let me help you Luce." Natsu said as he went to jump to the second floor but master stopped him.
"You aren't ready Natsu." Was all master said.
"Ha bye weaklings." He said, then used his lightning to disappear.
"Master how are you related to that jerk!" Natsu yelled.
"Enough Natsu." Erza glared. I walked to the bar and sat down.
"Are you okay Lucy?" Mira asked, concerned.
"Sorta." I replied.
"Mira was Laxus always like that." I added.
"No his father corrupted him, he used to be sweet but since his father was expelled from the guild he changed." Mira answered sadly.
"Mira, the real question is are you okay?" I asked.
"To be honest no I am not Laxus used to be kind but then he changed and became obsessed with becoming guild master he was the first person other than my family that I let in after joining he was my first friend, and crush." Mira replied, a few tears slipping out of her eyes.
I thought to myself I knew I heard some hesitation in his thoughts.
"Don't worry Mira I will help you, after all you helped me now I have to go Natsu is yelling his name." I said with my signature smile and she cheered up.
"Thanks Luce you remind me of my little sister, but I will tell you about her another time alright." Mira said as she dried her tears and went into the kitchen.
Natsu's P.O.V.
"Natsu are you finished picking a job yet?" Happy nagged me.
"Almost I think I found a good one for our team." I said to Happy.
"Finally." Happy said while eating a fish and I turned around.
"Hey Luce we found a mission for the team!" I yelled.
"Okay Natsu wait a moment." She yelled back and said goodbye to Mira.
"Ice Princess, Erza, Stella we have a mission." I yelled to Erza, Gray and Stella.
Erza started to walk towards me.
"Okay go home and back, I will show Mira then meet me at the train station at 12 o'clock." Erza said as I gave her the job request I did as she said and ran home with Happy in my arms to pack.
At Natsu and Happy's house in the woods
"Natsu what is the job?" Happy asked me as we were packing.
"It is to take out some bandits in a resort town." I yelled back to him.
"Okay." I heard Happy whisper.
"Happy are you almost ready to go." I yelled as I looked at the time.
"Aye Natsu don't forget to take your sickness pills with you." Happy answered me.
"Okay little buddy let's go." I said.
At the train station Natsu's P.O.V.
Once I got to the train station I saw Lucy and Stella waiting.
"Hey Luce, hey Stella." I yelled over to them and waved.
"Hey Natsu please tell me you have your motion sickness tablets." Lucy half begged.
"Yeah I do why?" I asked Lucy, confused.
"Well if Tora is used too many times on the same person it really isn't that effective." Lucy answered me.
"Oh I guess it makes sense." I agreed.
"Hey Lucy, Stella, flame brain and Happy!" I heard Gray yell behind me.
"Why don't you shut up ice stripper." I was cut off by Lucy glaring at me and droopy eyes, then Erza came over.
"Hi guys I hope I didn't keep you waiting for long." Erza said politely.
"No not at all." Lucy answered.
After the train ride and talking to the client (still Natsu's P.O.V)
"So what do we know?" I asked.
"We get changed and hide our guild marks to look around town." Erza stated calmly.
"Let's go then." Gray said bored.
"Me and Natsu are sharing a room, aren't we?" Lucy asked Erza.
"Yes we can't leave Natsu and Gray in the same room can we." Erza said normally, but Lucy and I know that Mira told her to do that.
"We will see you in 10." Lucy said to stripper and Erza and we went into our rooms and put some new clothes on Lucy also got some magic make up to hide her guild stamp.
"Are you ready Natsu, Stella and Happy?" Luce asked.
"Yeah let's go, we don't want to keep Erza waiting." I said nervously.
"Hey guys are you ready yet!" Gray yelled.
"Yeah one minute!" Lucy yelled back before I got the chance to fight with Gray.
"Let's go look around and if you see anyone with the mark of a snake eating it's tail apprehend or fight but Natsu do not destroy everything." Stella said.
"Let's see Happy and I will take the sky." I said as Happy's wings appeared and he grabbed a hold of my jacket before we flew off.
Lucy's P.O.V.
As Natsu flew away with Happy I smirked.
"Okay I will look in the south and Stella you look east." I told Stella.
"I will take the north side of town." Erza stated.
"Looks like I will go west." Gray added.
"Okay guys meet back up at the hotel rooms when you're done." Erza stated. Stella transformed into her human form as we split up.
An hour later (still Lucy's P.O.V.)
I think I attracted trouble, I am definitely being watched and can feel a unfamiliar magic following me. I pretend not to realize so I have the upper hand.
"Why look what we have here." A guy behind me said and I turned around then recognized the mark on their mark from the wanted poster.
"She is quite the catch I must say." Another one said.
Why does this always happen to me, I wonder.
"Sorry but can I help you?" I asked with a sickly sweet voice and smile.
"Yeah, be a good girl and come with us quietly." Another man said.
I can't handle this, I need to punch someone's face in right now.
"Guys she looks familiar to me." He told his friends nervously.
"Well I am insulted, I thought most of the illegal guilds knew my name." I stated, pretending to be insulted.
"Oh shit it is her, the celestial dragon!" He yelled.
"Great at least someone recognizes me." I said and my fist started to glow.
"Lucy Punch!" I yelled and punched their lights out. They were very weak.
"Open Gate of the Maiden, Virgo." I called her out.
"Hello princess how may I help you." Virgo asked me.
"Can you get some anti-magic rope please, Virgo." I answered.
"As you wish princess." Virgo stated and disappeared before reappearing a few minutes later with the rope and we tied the bandits up and dragged them to the center of town.
"Hey Lu find any of the others apart from the few you tied up." Stella replied.
"Oh hey look Natsu is coming." I said changing the subject, god Natsu is so handsome.
"Hey Luce!" Natsu yelled back.
"Hello am I invisible." Stella added, feeling left out.
"Hi Stella." Natsu said.
"Well what have we walked into Gray." Erza asked, smirking while Gray was trying not to laugh they were holding two bandits each.
"Well I think we have finished the job without destroying anything." I said sheepishly because of what Erza said previously.
Time skip, after dropping the bandits off at the local prison, in the two hotel rooms (still Lucy's P.O.V.)
"I didn't think it took us this long to see the mayor and drop the bandits off in prison." I said happy.
"Lucy why are you so happy?" Gray asked.
"I am happy because the stars are out and they are extremely bright I am planning on feasting tonight." I said determined.
"Eating?" Gray asked, even more confused.
"Yeah I want to eat starlight as it is part of my element." I said, excited to eat.
"Oh I look really stupid now don't I." Gray said, deflated.
"Yes you do ice princess even I knew that she wanted to eat starlight as it is part of her element." Natsu said proudly, god he is so hot when he looks proud.
"Oh shut up you damn stupid dragon prick you only knew because you saw her eat it." Gray argued defending himself.
I then glared at him.
"See you in the afterlife Gray." Erza whispered to him.
"What did you call my boyfriend, never ever insult Natsu using the word dragon in it or I will send you to the afterlife." I said with the most sickly sweet smile I swear I saw him shrink.
"Hey we are here let's go get changed then you can have a pillow fight." Happy yelled.
"That is a great idea Happy." Natsu agreed with the blue exceed.
"Guys I am off to eat starlight see you in an hour or two, let's go Stella." I said happily.
"Bye Luce." Natsu yelled.
"Natsu I am going with Lushy." Happy yelled out.
"Smart choice Happy." I whispered to him. As we went out the room into a communal gardens all the stars and constellations were shining brightly apart from Leo's which lately I have noticed has not been visible but I shrugged it off and started eating.
"Hey Lucy smell that." Stella warned me.
I smelled two people with unfamiliar scents then I couldn't move damn it paralysis magic.
"Oh look what we have here, what a beauty oh what a beauty oh my." A weird man said behind me.
"Oh she is and her cats are so cute." Another man said.
"Let me go now or you will regret not letting me go." I snarled.
"Oh hi Lucy I thought they said you could take care of yourself." Loke said, smirking.
"Well as you can see I can't move because of these men so help me, damn Loke." I said, whispering the last bit so only I heard.
"Why are they ignoring us, why." The first man said.
"Don't know, wait the mark on her hand she is a part of Fairy Tail and he is also probably a part of Fairy Tail as well." He answered his partner as he unparalyzed me.
"Open Gate of the Maiden, Virgo." I chanted.
"Hey Virgo can you get me some anti-magic ropes or handcuffs?" I asked.
"Yes princess right away." Virgo disappeared, then reappeared.
"Here you go, punishment time." She said.
"Hell no return now please Virgo!" I yelled.
"Hey Lucy are you okay?" Loke asked, hiding behind a bush.
"Hey Stella, Happy I think you should go back to the room it is getting late and if Natsu asks tell him there were a lot of stars for me to eat tonight." I told the cats.
"Okay Lu see you later stay safe please?" Stella asked me.
At a bar after calling the Rune Knights Loke's P.O.V.
I hope she doesn't find out I heard about her she might try and save me then I might have Natsu and a angry celestial dragon on my hands.
"Hey Loke I heard from Mira that you were the one who found my keys I am so thankful for it." She told me sincerely.
"It's okay." I said.
"Why are you so far away from me I don't bite." She asked me and I moved closer to her.
"Hey Lucy I don't have long left to live." I said and her face shocked me.
"Loke are you joking or serious?" She scolded me.
"Oh it is just a joke don't worry." I lied, god do I hate lying to people like Lucy.
"Well I have got to go but see you around the guild Loke." She said waving goodbye to me. I know she is suspicious of me.
A couple days later
Lucy's P.O.V.
Lately I have been wondering where Loke is, he hasn't been at the guild lately then a swarm of girls came running in claiming to be his girlfriend and Mira passed them on to me so I passed them to Cana and left to go to my apartment.
"Lu what is worrying you?" Stella asked me.
"Oh I haven't seen Loke at the guild lately that's all he was kinda serious when I last saw him." I answered her.
"Oh is it okay if I go fishing with Happy and Natsu." Stella added nervously.
"Yeah it is okay, you can go." I told her.
"Thanks Lucy fishing here I come." Stella yelled as she flew out the window with a fishing pole on her back.
"Open Gate of the Southern Cross, Open Gate of Canis Minor Crux, Plue." I chanted.
"Oh Lucy how have you been?" Crux asked me.
"Pun pun." Plue said as he jumped on my lap.
"Grandpa Crux can you look into Loke's past he said something the other day that worried me and his smell is weird?" I asked my spirit.
"Well all I can say is that he knew a celestial wizard named Karen and she was from Blue Pegasus." Crux said after his search.
Now I know why he smelled weird he is a celestial spirit stuck in the human world. This is bad, Karen has been dead for 3 years that is not good.
"Thanks Crux you and Plue can return now." I said panicked, then I heard banging on my door.
"Hey Lucy have you seen Loke?" Gray asked me.
"No has he disappeared." I answered his question.
"Yeah can you keep a eye out." He told me and I nodded my head and went straight to where Karen's grave is there was a article about it in Sorcerer Weekly and I ran something was not right.
At Karen's grave (still Lucy's P.O.V.)
When I got to the grave Loke was already there.
"Leo do not do this let me help you, Celestial Queen Star Dress." I yelled as my clothes changed.
"Lucy there is no point of trying to help me, my life force will run out and it will happen in front of Karen's grave!" Loke yelled.
"Leo are you dumb like I would let a comrade die especially if I can prevent it!" I yelled back to him.
"I don't care if I died here, I broke celestial law Lucy I killed Karen." Loke yelled back at me as I knelt down beside him.
"Loke what happened." She asked and I told her the story.
Flashback no one's P.O.V.
Yet again Karen came back with men from her last mission.
"I'm back but I seriously need to rest." She said like a snob.
"But we have dinner tonight." One of the men said disappointed.
"What is your name?" The green haired woman asked without any emotion.
"My name is Kane we have been on a date three times." Kane said.
"Well I got her a blue sapphire necklace with real blue sapphires." Another man said.
"Amateurs I bought her a condo." Another man yelled smugly.
"Well I have just the spirit for the job, Open Gate of the Ram Aries." She said, chanting the last part.
"H-hello master." The petite spirit stuttered.
"Take them home." She told the spirit.
"Bu-but it isn't my job to serve them." Aries explained.
"You dare to disobey me you lowly spirit." Karen spit out her words like poison.
"N-no master I w-will take them home." Aries responded nervously and the sky spirit was gone to take the men home.
"A lowly celestial spirit thinks she can talk back to her wizard what is this world coming to." She said under her breath but her master heard her and he was fuming but hid it well.
"Karen you shouldn't mistreat your spirits like that." Bob said calmly.
"Why they are my spirits, not yours." Karen rudely replied.
"Poor little Aries all you do is give her tasks to do all day and now she has to entertain men you brought back and I heard you used her as a shield against magic attacks." He responded, his calmness slipping away.
"Are you defending a lowly spirit master." She asked. What she saw next really scared her master Bob was never this angry.
"Karen they are not tools, they have feelings. They feel pain and how you treat them is wrong start to treat them right or the next one to suffer will be you Karen as you won't have their help." The short fat man yelled at her.
(Later that day)
"You told my master." She yelled at her spirit.
"N-no I didn't tell him I promise." The petite spirit cried.
"Do you know what happens to ungrateful spirits they get what they deserve." The older woman said holding handcuffs.
"W-what are those." Aries stuttered.
"These cuffs will keep you here for seven days." Karen said sadistically. But before she could put the cuffs on the little ram spirit and disappeared. In her place was a man with ginger hair and ginger cat ears. He was also wearing a tux.
"Leo why are you here and where is Aries?" Karen asked her spirit.
"She is safe from you." Leo answered bitterly.
"Close Gate of the Lion, Leo!" The green-haired mage chanted, but nothing happened.
"I would stop as I used my own magic to switch with Aries and you won't be able to call her out, now terminate your contracts with me and Aries now." Leo explained and ordered her at the last part.
"Why would I give up two golden keys." She laughed at him.
"You should give us up because you shouldn't have us as you cheated in that battle to win us." The spirit yelled at his wizard.
"I did not cheat." Karen replied like a spoiled brat.
"I will be at the ruins, come find me when you are ready to give up mine and Aries' keys." Leo said, turning his back on Karen.
(A few weeks later)
"Ready to give up our keys yet?" Loke asked as he sat in the ruins.
"Come on Loke I will treat you and Aries better please go back I need to pay rent, I need to work." Karen pleaded.
"No it is our keys or nothing." Leo said weakly.
"See you basically have no energy left so you have to go back at some point." She yelled as she kicked him in the gut and stormed off.
(A few months later)
"Leo we need to talk." A plump man said and Leo turned around to see the guild master.
"Master Bob what are you doing here?" Leo asked, knowing this cannot be good.
"Leo Karen is dead." Master Bob said sadly.
"What, how?" The spirit asked.
"She took a job after me warning her not to and to just give yours and Aries' keys." The master said, mourning.
"I never wanted her to die I j-just wanted to teach her a lesson that spirits have feelings." Leo cried.
"It is okay Leo we don't blame you. I know the spirit king probably sees it differently, but we do not." Master Bob told the crying man before he left.
End flashback
"Loke her death was not your fault, you gave her the chance to do the right thing but she was blinded by power she wanted to be strong!" Lucy yelled.
"The spirit king does not think that!" I yelled back at her.
"That old fart you are not dying here Loke Celestial Spirit King I Lucy Oran daughter of the celestial dragon, oppose the sentence of the Zodiac leader Leo the Lion." Lucy chanted while glowing gold and blue then the scenery changed and we were at the crossroads between the spirit world and Earthland.
"Old friend Lucy, may I ask why do you oppose Leo's sentence?" He asked Lucy.
"Well first thing is that an old friend is still a friend and second he didn't actually put a knife through her heart did he the answer is no, third Leo was protecting Aries from Karen who abused her and the rest of the spirits that were contracted to her." Lucy defended me and all Lucy's spirits appeared beside her.
"Dear friend, is what Lucy is saying true?" The king asked me.
"Yes sir by the stars of my constellation she is telling the truth." I answered him and he smiled at Lucy.
"Celeste would be proud of you and oh how she wishes she could see you in person and talk to you again but she cannot, but she does watch over you that is why the draco constellation always follows you." The king kindly said.
"Oh and old friend be thankful to Lucy I will let you go back to the spirit world but you have to serve Lucy for the rest of her life." The king told me and gave my key to Lucy then she smiled.
"Thanks stach face." She said happily and waved goodbye to the spirit king.
"Thank you Lucy I am forever thankful to you." I cried as I went back to the spirit world.
Lucy's P.O.V.
"Thank you Lucy I am forever thankful to you." Loke cried as he went back to the spirit world.
"Well I am happy for him, he finally got the wizard he deserves." Karen's spirit said.
"So you're the one who abuses spirits." I said, angry.
"Before I fade away I want to tell you who killed me and took my keys. Her name is Angel and I am also sorry for cheating in a match with Lena Heartfilla." Karen's spirit said.
"My biological aunt. That is not for me to forgive, go pass on." I said, not knowing what else to say apart from that.
The next day (still Lucy's P.O.V.)
"So Loke you are a celestial spirit I knew you smelled weird!" Natsu yelled.
"Natsu babe I am tired so can you not yell in my ear." I asked Natsu sternly.
"Yes Lucy." Natsu answered.
"Yes I am a spirit but thanks to my princess over here I am back to being Leo oh and one more thing take these Erza already has hers." Loke said, getting five tickets out for each of us.
"Thanks Loke what are you doing about your girl problem they are by Cana once you sought them out you can go back." I said to him, he nodded.
"Come on Lucy, we need to pack our stuff if Erza already got her ticket she is probably almost packed you three should probably do the same." Stella pointed outdoors.
'Yay, a vacation. What could go wrong.' I thought happily.
