well, after completing the prequel and what if, it's finally time to continue with the main work... at this rate finish until 2034

neither dragon ball nor fairy tail belong to me, they belong to their respective creators, but it wouldn't be like that if I had exiled toriyama and mashima


Capitulo 14: loke mission: one shot

a week had passed since beat fought against his parallel version, who also returned to his own world, which according to what was said was not clear to him where he was located

during that time the Natsu team had even taken a small mission to a theater in which they were exploited for a whole week.

now beat was analyzing multiple adult subjects, making them go through walls, hitting him in the face or simply leaving them unconscious -this job is being very easy-

-Of course, these guys are easy prey!- Natsu said as he pushed the head of one against the wall

"And yet they still managed to destroy the town hall and an observatory!" Lucy claimed, knocking out multiple thieves by herself.

-hey!, that was an accident/sorry, is that lately weird guy attacked me, saying he saw a blinking constellation and that the end of the world is approaching - said Natsu and beat respectively, hitting the same thief on the head, for behind and in front

-Don't go robbing people when they are so weak!- Gray advised them, while applying pressure to the head of one of its members, simply bothering

"Do you think they're going to get away with doing this?" said a guy with his hair up.

-Devon-sama will not sit idly by!- threatened a thief with a headband, thinking that his boss would stop them at any moment

-Boy, I defeated him as soon as we entered- Taurus laughed, patting him on the back, maybe a little too hard

-We defeated this team in time, I'm done up here too!- Erza informed them, going down the stairs, ready to finish with a short midday mission.

-That's our erza!- Lucy encouraged him, after all thanks to her they had found their base

As Erza went down, she saw out of the corner of her eye how one of the thieves crawled away from them, heading towards the door.

so she just walked up to him, past his back, or maybe a little lower. to keep him in her place -you won't escape!-

-Erza-San, please punish me too!, MOO- Taurus said, fantasizing about being in that guy's place, probably...no, this is not M-rated

-ag, bye-bye taurus, force the door to close!- Lucy said goodbye, sweating a little at taurus's attitude, at least erza didn't take it badly

-why would you want to be there?, it looks painful- asked beat, practically in the air, because nobody answered him, and even when a thief was about to do it, erza "casually" kicked him in the face, knocking him out: and taking him out a pair of teeth

Now, outside the castle, all the subjects were already tied up, and with their mouths covered with tape to avoid hearing their complaints.

-heh, this took longer than expected- erza boasted, she hoped this would last at least a couple more hours, in the end they were just a group of incompetents, they wouldn't be even a challenge for Happy

-He didn't even have time to get angry!- Natsu complained, this adventure was so simple and easy, that he didn't even have to get angry and cause massive destruction in his path

-you were angry all the time, friend- gray reminded him, that the simple fact of being bored kept them angry or at least irritating the entire mission -the town hall did not burn itself-

-you will do it tomorrow, when we meet for the agreed- beat reminded him, whispering in his ear

-ah...yes, that- said the pink-haired man in a low voice, hoping that the rest hadn't heard him, or that at least Happy didn't shout it from the rooftops when that thought becomes relevant enough in his mind

meanwhile Happy just kept distracted, looking at an object he had taken from that lair -Lucy, look at this jewel!-

Lucy looked up curiously, only to be met by the sight of a small diamond that surely belonged to that gang's thefts. "Hey, you can't take that!"

before Lucy recriminated him, more. he noticed the footsteps of someone walking away, he first thought of a thief who escaped, but when he saw it better he knew that he was a fellow guild member-is that not Loke?-

"Huh?" Gray reacted to Happy's question, turning in that same direction.

-Let's go see it!- Natsu also noticed, so he immediately ran to the guildmate

"Wait!" Gray yelled at him, also running towards him, at this point it had become a race.

-...- Lucy looked sweating at that situation, sometimes they either acted like children or created a surreal scene

Loke heard footsteps and a couple of explosions, when he turned there were Natsu and gray walking calmly towards him

-what a coincidence!- gray asked, it really wasn't that difficult to coincide in these places, not as much as it seems

"Do you have a job near here?" Natsu said curiously, lest they have somehow chosen the same mission, maybe someone sent it twice

-Yes, I came to this city to investigate the past crimes of a duo of criminals who are dedicated to robbing different tourists in various cities, you too?- Loke

-Of course, although we came to stop a typical group of thieves- gray

meanwhile, the rest of the team approached from behind, including Lucy who advanced to the front with the intention of talking to him

- Lucy!? - As soon as Loke saw her he got nervous, it seemed that he was going to have a cardiac arrest or maybe a stroke

Lucy felt good when she saw it, it was a nice coincidence and quite helpful - this is perfect. I wanted to thank you for...

"Sorry, I'm in the middle of a mission!" Loke said only to run away at massive hypersonic speed.

"What's wrong with him?" Lucy asked confused, this attitude was not normal, and less compared to any behavior she had seen him take, either with guildmates or with other girls.

"What the hell did you do to him?" Gray asked, he himself knew that something like this is not normal, and it's not even the first time.

-He's completely avoiding you- Natsu said with both arms closed, Loke definitely acted differently with Lucy, or so he thought

-Maybe he just doesn't like me?- beat suggested, for him it was something probable and simple without much to think about

this left Lucy thinking for a moment, maybe it was just a simple answer without any complex explanation or a tragic past, at least for this time


"Now, then, are we going back?" Natsu asked, after all the authorities themselves had already taken the criminals and all the stolen treasures

-well, this castle was built by the same thieves...Natsu, you know what to do- erza pointed out, if they didn't do it probably another gang of fourth graders would take it as a base

"Finally!" Natsu said excitedly, taking a deep breath.

then shoot a ball of fire as hot as the sun, at the castle, as soon as it hit, the entire fortress was instantly destroyed leaving nothing behind

once the explosion began to dissipate, the three of them were able to continue as normal

"Hey, since we're actually done, it's a quick job, why don't we go to a spa and relax?" Lucy suggested, that would serve to relax a bit, especially after the play.

-Lucy...- Erza said seriously, making everyone tense without exception, even Happy's face was shadowed -it's a good idea- at this they were able to breathe a long sigh of relief, at least it wouldn't kill them for now

-I'm busy, I thought to search the divine layer and...- beat tried to reject, I thought to search the kingdom of the gods, maybe find the supreme planet. only for erza to grab him by the tail

-you can do that later, let's go beat- erza said giving him a small smile, that would help the three of them to relax

-I-it's okay erza!- beat got nervous, because erza's smile definitely looked much more threatening if seen from below


now our...sextet protagonist was in spa town:hosenka, a small town dependent on magnolia, and located next to the latter

now our protagonists were resting in the hot springs, of one of the many spas that were in the city

of course, divided into the section of women, men and children respectively, going to the first there were Lucy and erza

"And besides, what about Loke, anyway?" Lucy asked herself, maybe she just didn't like him like beat said, but she had to know why.

-What a beautiful moon, and what a good bath too!- Erza said getting out of the water and stretching, she was already relaxing in the hot water. dressed in the same way as he entered

"Are you in your armor and everything?!" Lucy asked in surprise, that looked very uncomfortable, and the armor was probably on fire. she didn't understand how she could relax like that

-I feel more comfortable like this, without her I feel vulnerable- Erza explained, after all she always went with her, or almost always

"And wouldn't you feel more comfortable without it?" Lucy suggested that she take it off.

-Maybe, I guess I'll give it a try, I mean, we're here to relax at a spa- Erza smiled at this, quickly making the armor disappear, exchanging for a simple towel

-However, your words are as rigid as ever...- Lucy noticed, at least for now it seemed that Erza hadn't completely relaxed -You're amazing even when you're naked, Erza!- she mentioned, flattering her body

"Really? Then, what if I try to go naked around the guild?" Erza said seriously, as if she really intended to do it.

-I don't think it's a good idea- Lucy said with some nerves, that could cause problems

-I was kidding- Erza said between laughs, they could well arrest her for indecent exposure. her although she did not know to what extent they would leave her for the simple fear of telling her

Said Lucy relaxed, while leaning against the walls of the hot springs -well, let's stay here for a while resting-

erza nodded, so they both cut each other, and there they could have stayed another hour, until out of nowhere they heard an explosion on the other side of the spa, they both opened their eyes instantly knowing who they were

there was a gigantic avalanche of ice struggling with a monumental torrent of fire, gray and Natsu were fighting again

"Oh, come on!" Lucy complained, knowing what was coming soon.

"wait for me here, I'll be right back..." Erza said standing up again, wearing her usual armor again

and when he was about to calm them both down, it was heard in another area

-FINAL FLASH!- A gigantic yellow attack shot up to the sky, it would probably destroy an uninhabitable star cluster. maybe it would end up or be sucked into a black hole

-here we go- Lucy complained, knowing that now it would be worse, for them


After being given away, Erza took Natsu and Gray to the room, and then went for Beat and Happy, the latter being the one who asked her to use that attack.

-It started!- Natsu yelled entering with Happy, and both bring a lot of pillows, which they asked for at the reception

-oops!- Happy mood, throwing one of the pillows into the air

"What's all this noise? I'm sleeping!" Gray groaned, almost creating spikes of ice to shut them up. by mere impulse

-What's going on?- asked beat entering the room, because previously he was lying on the roof. sure, now he was standing on the ceiling of the room as if it were the floor

-hey, look around you!, we're in an inn!- encourage Natsu, taking multiple pillows, ready to hit them or throw them -the night in hotels means hitting pillows!

-well, I'm in- beat said, taking multiple pillows, ready to throw them at any moment

-you mean pillow fights...- gray corrected, well that's how most know him

Just at that moment, Erza and Lucy arrived, the former already with a couple of pillows in her arms.

-All the pillows in this room are worthy of being under my control!- Erza said as she got into position, ready to receive any attack, or launch it herself

"Worthy?" Lucy asked, not understanding why to say it, it didn't seem like the best adjectives to describe them.

-defeat erza!- Natsu did not wait to be attacked, so he himself threw the first pillow towards erza, as he himself had said

"Heh... what am I going to do with you?" Gray sighed, thinking of going back to sleep and making the effort to hold back his screams, until he was hit in the face by Natsu's pillow, because Erza simply dodged it. jumping -Natsu, damn!- Gray had already been provoked by the dragon slayer, and there was no way to get him out. just when he was ready to start he saw that there were a lot of pillows next to him -oh, where did these pillows come from?, well, whoever is my guardian angel, thank you- says this grateful

but most definitely grateful that the former element four -juvia is so happy to be of help to gray-sama!- Juvia

as soon as he took them, gray took the opportunity to throw himself at Natsu with all his might

-gah!- upon receiving it Natsu was thrown to the ground with a completely sore face

"Erza, you're next!" Gray warned her, throwing her a pillow.

when the pillow hit her, she was unharmed, as she had no problem blocking it

"Now it's my turn!" beat yelled, throwing a pillow at Erza with enough power to put Natsu and Gray in a coma together.

she was not seen coming, so she was hit on the back, sending her flying several meters

-BEAT, GET READY! - he yelled after receiving it, that impact had left his stomach sore. she prepared that pillow, ready to throw it

-Well, maybe I'll get in too!- Lucy said happily, only to be greeted with 4 pillows that they just happened to give her, sending her flying out of the room, even destroying the door and taking out a table

-AAAAHHH/HAAAAA/GRAAH/TOMA- everyone shouted as things got more serious

Natsu ignited multiple pillows, which somehow didn't get burned. Gray created dozens of ice pillows, Erza summoned a whole hundred pillows, ready to fire them as she orbited behind her. and beat wrapped several pillows in ki

-better, maybe not do it!... she could die- Lucy, seeing that, resigned herself, the previous thing was a game, this was already getting serious, her life was in danger


"Are they even human?" Lucy wondered, since she had really entered the true world of magic, she realized that the strength of those individuals was monstrous, Natsu and Gray themselves were not far from being able to destroy magnolia by separated the day they wanted; Erza could pulverize mountains in an instant, and beat...according to him, he can make the entire universe disappear in a poof

-plue- agreed plue, walking happily through the streets

-well, Happy is a cat, beat has the body of an alien, and you are a dog, plue- Lucy said, remembering how at least two out of six are not.

-I'm actually a human-pun- he said out of nowhere it was, a curious revelation, he could have been converted or something similar

-heh!...human!?, wait, can you talk?- Lucy asks immensely surprised, something like that was inconceivable, and even more so that he was human in some way

-Aye!- Plue said, confirming that what was said before was completely real

"Aye?..." Lucy said suspiciously, already knowing exactly who was laughing at her.

actually the one who was speaking was Happy, who hid in one of the nearby bushes -I am an envoy of my gods, and I need to gather the dragon balls to return to normal!-

-Yes, yes...Stop this nonsense and get out of there!- Lucy said with irritation, having been discovered by that phrase that only he says

"I thought you'd be so dumb, I could make fun of you for at least a week," Happy complained, coming out of the bush.

-That's a pretty generous conjecture on your part...- Lucy said annoyed, that was a very sincere insult to her intelligence

-so, where are you going, Lucy?- Happy said, because until that moment he had only walked randomly around the city

"Having a pillow fight with them is bad for my health, so…" she said, opening the yokata a bit at the bottom, showing him a gigantic bruise on her stomach.

-Ew!- Happy felt disgust at this sight, it was almost inhuman

While they were talking, a couple of weird guys approached her, one relatively normal in appearance and the other who kept moving his head from side to side -hey girl, "man"-

-That yukata looks great on you, tourist?- the guy who shook his head asked

Lucy, seeing the presence of two strangers behind her, covered her abdomen again

-we came from oshibana, "man"- the guy who seemed normal told them, revealing his habit of ending every sentence with "man" -let's have a fun time, "man"!-

-Overloaded power humor!- Her eyes almost popped out of her face at such an impression, although it wasn't the first time she'd seen such eccentric people, thanks to that she quickly regained her composure -I'm sorry, but I'm with someone- she said pointing to both Happy and Plue

-oh?, not even for a while, "man"? - the guy with that handkerchief told him, insisting that he accompany you

-You're with a cat, and a...?- asked the guy shaking his head, when he pointed at him they both stared at the celestial spirit attentively, they even seemed disturbed by his appearance

"Well, it's okay to bring those fun little companions with you, man," said weirdo number 1 as he pointed to both Plue and Happy.

-come on...- said the other, almost hitting her with his head, at a speed that created afterimages

they both got too close, passing the insistence to practically invading his personal space

-They are insistent...- Lucy said as she began to worry, -Happy, do something!-

-nya!- said the blue gago, lying on the ground while licking his upper left part

"Did you just say nya!?" Lucy burst into anger, knowing that Happy himself was not taking this situation seriously.

"Oh, you talk to cats, how cute!" Weird guy number two said between laughs, genuinely amused. Well, he seemed to be serious.

-Come on!, "man"- insisted the guy with a headband, strongly taking Lucy by the shoulder

-(I just have to get my keys...what is this!? I can't move my body)- Lucy realized, as soon as I touched her body she was paralyzed, and it was very difficult for her to move

-Let's have a fun night, "man"- the "Man" said in another attempt to convince her

-I think it fell, it doesn't matter anymore, check if it has something of value!- the other just said, beginning to see her from different angles, noticing the small bag at her waist

-(Are they magicians?...oh no!)- Lucy realized the real danger where she was, before they seemed only fourth class thieves, but now they were fourth class magicians, four times more dangerous than the other option

They were about to take the keys when out of nowhere a big punch landed on the black-haired man's head, precisely the head went to the fist and the impact increased

sending him flying instantly, knocking him out, although his head kept moving on its own

-What!?.."man"- the other subject could barely react, closing his fist ready to fight, until he was hit in the stomach without even being able to see it, taking all the air out of him and leaving him unconscious -man! -

the one who saved her was nothing more and nothing less than Loke-was she hurt?- Asked the orange-haired man, not even having seen who it was

-L-Loke!- Lucy said surprised, she didn't expect to find him right here

Loke realized who it was until he heard the voice, and in the blink of an eye he was already 10 meters away-which is...-

-Why?!- Lucy

-those two have been targeting solo female tourists, they're criminal wizards and I was in the middle of capturing them, I think I told them this morning- Loke -for two guys with such particular tics and tricks, it was a pain in the ass head to find them, both have been taking different identities throughout fiore... if you'll excuse me, I have to deliver these two-

-You know...thanks for saving me, and also for finding my keys!- Lucy -hey, why don't we go out for a while?-

This sudden proposal naturally surprised the magician, surely inside he berated himself for not taking the criminals and running away, dropping a note or something.

"What did he develop!" Happy said impressed, of all the possible paths in order to start a relationship, this was the least expected. but the fastest

-That's not what I meant Happy! - she shouted indignantly, an insinuation like that could only scare him away, in itself it was strange that he could last so long with her


we jump to the best known restaurant in the city of hosenka, the "super express", and also one of the two most popular points

Lucy and Loke were sitting in front of the bar, while Happy and Plue were quietly drinking at a table behind them.

-so...- Lucy tried to start a conversation, until she realized that she was at least 10 chairs away -you don't have to be that far away!-

Loke sighed, he had the slight hope that he wouldn't mind so he just approached, while in his walk you could see the discomfort of doing it -sorry...-

-!- the iconic silent chef of the place nodded, while raising his eyebrows which emitted a small tinkle, as a sign of approval. In addition to his trademark of not saying a word, he has a characteristic head that has elongated to about two meters in height.

"I've wanted to ask you this for a long time, but what did that magician of celestial spirits do to you?" With him by her side, the blonde decided to touch on the topic that really interested her. Seeing that she only remained thoughtful and didn't answer her, she made a small sigh to take a drink from her glass -if you don't want to tell me, it doesn't matter... but you know, I'm not that person-

-Yes, I am perfectly aware of that- He gave a small sigh, as he adjusts his glasses -I'm sorry. I apologize if I hurt you, you should forget everything about me-

"What about that cliché phrase of breaking up with a partner?" Lucy said sweating at that expression, she even changed her tone of voice. and she would swear to see how the background turned pink

- Sorry, at this point it's a reflex. That's not what I meant- she said between laughs. only to quickly change to seriousness "break up, huh?" he communicated as he became thoughtful

"What's up with that?" Lucy said suspiciously, something like that sounded like it's related to her fear of celestial wizards.

-nothing, I just remembered something from a long time ago- he waved his hands nervously, I didn't want to give him many details about what was happening unless -(...maybe it wouldn't be a bad idea, tell someone before I left and just leave a pile of dust)-

while they talked, that chef searched through his things on the other side of the room. he took out a music record to set the scene, and put it in front of both of them waiting for approval

- What? - Lucy asked with curiosity, only to see out of the corner of her eye that subject who listened carefully to everything, had the blonde's attention. at least for a moment

-"Do"— - He pointed to his record as a question

-"X"- Lucy denied, that definitely wouldn't help her in this situation

-...- the man only became depressed, putting his head down, even his head tilted as if it were a slightly deflated balloon

Lucy breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that at least she had already solved her part and that the rest was nothing more than someone else's personal life-it's fine, never mind. I just wanted to know, that's all, thanks for saving me, I understand why you're so popular, and for me, I think we're actually friends after all.- she got up from the table already satisfied with the progress she had made -then it will be better. ..- began to walk away

Before he could go very far, Loke roughly grabbed his hand. "Wait!"

"What?" Lucy exclaimed, surprised by that abrupt and sudden gesture, mainly brisk.

-Lucy- Loke spoke with heaviness in his voice, as if he were going to deal with a delicate subject

She caught the intentions, recognizing that tone every time someone used it is that something horrible is coming, yes? - she said with concern

Loke gave him a hug, using himself for support, and using his shoulder to rest his head on.

-no...I have a long time to live- Loke confessed, supported by that tremor in his voice -(idiot!, what have you been doing!?, stop!)-

this was worse than he thought, he was expecting something bad but no guarantee that he will die-what do you mean, you are sick, poisoned, cursed, maybe we can find a cure!-

but before the concern of the blonde, Loke began to laugh like he had never seen anyone else -hahaha!, you see?, this is a trick to seduce girls!, you make them feel sorry for you, so?, you were quite surprised

the first response to this was a dull thud. for Lucy had attacked him with a slap so powerful that it shook the entire establishment. maybe more

-!- the chef only nodded approvingly, disappointed that it was false, since he was about to take out his violin

-I hate jokes like that! Happy, plue, let's go- she was furious, and without waiting for another word from Loke, she just took the cat and the being from another dimension. both in a state between ground and consciousness

and as they walked away plue stared at Loke, trying to recognize him

"What am I doing? I can't be swallowed by feelings, I can't get Lucy involved!" Loke said in frustration. he had been stupid to regret it after telling her, but he was even more stupid to confess to her in the first place

while behind him the mute chef places the receipt on the table. he loved an occasional show, but that wouldn't get him out of paying the bill


We return to the room of the inn where they decided to stay, there were several leaky and leaky walls, floor full of ash, fist marks on the floor and cuts all over the place

and of course, unlike what I expected to find, they were all already sleeping comfortably in the dark room

-Okay, we're here. it seems that they got tired after fighting- Lucy sighed, she could still see how she is still upset about what happened in the restaurant

I leave Happy and Plue under a blanket that was there, making sure to put a pillow on them, the basics to make them comfortable

he gave a big tired yawn, after all it was already 1:AM; they had agreed to wake up at 7, he will definitely suffer when he wakes up. and when he turned and looked more closely at the rest of her classmates, he ran into beat hugging erza, squeezing so hard as to shatter steel, and still she looked comfortable

meanwhile Natsu and Gray slept separately, both with strange positions that were surely more comfortable than any common way of sleeping -Heh!, they're not so scary asleep...

a small and diabolical idea echoed in his head taking more and more importance. the only method for him not to sleep angry -I think I could take revenge on them when they had a sleepover at my house without warning-

She tiptoed and carefully pulled Natsu and Gray together, making them both hug each other thinking it was a bear. or should i, natsu mentioned being suffocated, and gray talked about choking a yeti

-I can't wait to hear their reaction in the morning!- You could hear the evil in his voice, it would probably be fun to see them fight in the same dynamic so that Erza would scold them later -(On second thought, it would happen with or without my interference)-


The next morning, we are already in the guild in the process of reconstruction, we have magicians going from one place to another while carrying wooden beams, others bringing materials to the construction among a long etc.

and there by the outdoor bar, were Natsu and gray with multiple injuries, looking at them with anger

"What about them?" Elfman asked when he saw the wounds they had all over their bodies.

-they say they got hurt in a pillow fight after finishing their work... and that they got into a fight when they woke up, they didn't stop until they were called for breakfast- mirajane mentioned what erza had told her a long time ago

"How can they hurt each other like that in a pillow fight?" he wondered curiously, something like that should be impossible. even with his strength, the pillows should only shatter

-What were you thinking when you approached me and grabbed my hand!? You just wanted to get back at me! All for the win- gray said annoyed by Lucy's little joke

"ME!? It was you, icy pervert!" Natsu said angrily. holding someone's hand is something inconceivable

"Are you more upset because your hands made contact, compared to sleeping in each other's arms?" Beat asked, confused by his exaggerated reaction, remembering how he woke up with their screams. he was sitting a few spaces away from Lucy

-men can hug, grab each other's buttocks, and even worse things. but holding hands is something not holy- instructed elfman, mentioning as something common

-Understood!, I'll write it down- said beat taking out a small notebook with a pen

-I don't think it's the best advice to follow...- mirajane said sweating, while letting out a small chuckle

"Lucy! I'm the one who won, right?" They both decided to consult with the team member closest to them, Lucy. who was drinking a glass of lemonade

Contrary to the expected reaction, Lucy looked at them very annoyed. a sharp look capable of making anyone tremble

-S-sorry!- the two fled terrified by that fierce look

they even bumped into each other halfway, just before getting out of sight. they got up and ran to continue fighting elsewhere

-Amazing! There is someone besides Erza capable of intimidating Natsu and Gray. at least every now and then- she exclaimed genuinely surprised mirajane, she had not seen that since never

"A man!" Elfman cheered her on, that feat was definitely the most impressive she had ever seen him do.

-(Lucy is unusually upset, why? It could be personal. Better not to ask)- without anyone being able to perceive it, she just moved away one more place just in case

Happy approached Lucy noticing how she interrupted the conflict between Natsu and Gray -Lucy, you've been in a bad mood-

-hmp!- beat almost choked upon hearing the direct approach when commenting on such a thing

-Oh?, I'm still totally the same- Lucy tried to avoid the subject, clearly she didn't seem to be angry with anyone present or she would have already hit him

-Are you still upset because I made fun of you?- Happy said concerned at that idea, even a tingle ran down his back

-No!, I'm not that picky- the blonde reminded him of what happened last night, events in which Happy was mostly asleep with Plue, after drinking and eating a lot -I'm sorry... I have a lot to think about-

-you can always talk to me!, or with beat, who should be hearing us with his sharp ear!- the cat pointed at him, making him immediately nervous

-(I curse you Happy!)- the saiyan yelled at him telepathically, putting a little pressure on his brain, if it weren't for his little self-control, it could destroy his mind instantly

-hehe...- Happy laughed at his reaction, feeling a slight headache that went away quickly.

-Lucy...- meanwhile no one realized that among the dozens of people in the place, someone was staring at them -it's almost time- Loke said as he looked at his hand, in a transparent state

returning to the bar, there was a knock right where mirajane was, someone hit the wood annoyed

"Hey! Have you seen Loke?" A woman in a lavender dress was asking Mirajane aggressively, surrounded by 3 others.

-Loke is so cruel!- a blue-haired woman complained about the attitude that the magician had taken in the last days

"Who are all of you?" asked the one in the reddish dress doubtfully.

"That's what I should ask you!" the one in the blue shirt replied accusingly

"What about them?" Lucy asked the cat in a low voice, she didn't want to get involved in those other people's business.

-It seems that they are women from the city, they must all think that they are Loke's girlfriend- Loke answered based on the multiple mentions of that magician, in addition to being based on his known attitude

"He tried to break up with me last night suddenly!" exclaimed the one in lavender clothes worried, for her it had been completely sudden and impossible to foresee

"Me too!" confirmed the one in the red dress and the one in blue. both had experienced exactly the same situation as the first

-Why would I say such a thing? - questioned the one with light blue hair, rather than coming for Loke, she came looking for a reason, in order to answer the question that they left her

-I-I don't know- Mirajane was already nervous, pressured by the three furious women who kept seeing her ugly -Lucy save me!-

Lucy almost choked on her glass of lemonade, especially when she turned to see them slowly, and, they were looking at her angry

"Who is that woman?" asked the one in blue, fearing for the inclusion of a fifth to the formula.

-she's pretty...- noted oa in lavender clothes

-So Loke's true love is...- the one in the light blue shirt was about to propose the first thing that came to her mind

something impossible for someone who knew either of them minimally, an argument that was destined to collapse in on itself but was still enough to scare Lucy before it was even fully conceived

Lucy swallowed saliva intimidated by the three -NO!. Don't put me in this situation look! - I didn't want to face them, so I just ran out of the guild at full speed

-(That's weird, I cut them all?...and is it here?)- beat instantly disappeared from his place when he felt it. Loke's ki was barely tens of meters away, and even worse, it was much weaker than any reading she had seen of it, even slowly diminishing

As soon as he finished his meal, he disappeared from his place. ending up right behind Loke -okay tell me what's up-

Loke's back could go cold hearing his voice and processing that he was no longer in his seat. or well, not the real one, but there was just a residual image

"What do you mean?" Loke asked making a last effort to lie to him. Little had been his interaction but what he has seen and heard would be the last thing he wanted him to know

-You know: your ki slowly decreases, and you've tried to cut off all your relationships- beat said suspiciously as he crossed his arms and glared at him. at any moment he could use his ki to intimidate, if he didn't respond

-Ah, well, but could we go to a more private place?- The orange haired man knew that he had no choice, if he didn't explain thoroughly, he would tell him, he would tell everyone. or would I just force him-(he's a saiyan, I can probably just grab his tail)-

-okay- in a nanosecond the two were already on the outskirts of the city, with no one to hear them in this conversation -ready-

Loke verified that they were in a place where that information would be safe -don't tell anyone in the guild, understood?- he looked at him seriously, giving him the idea that this promise was almost an oath

-okay- beat nodded, raising his hand as a symbolic gesture, to show him that he didn't mention it

you are the second to discover this, but, I am about to die- Loke confessed, showing his hand that changed between solidity and transparency

Beat's face quickly changed to one of concern and shock at what had already been said -oh shit!...to tell the truth I imagined something like that- he scratched his head as he reminded you how he felt his vital energy decrease

Loke sighed heavily, if he didn't explain he would surely start asking why. it had been much easier to explain it to Bickslow than to a child -and that's not all-

- huh? - beat was confused at this, because how he said it could make the situation EVEN MORE worse

-That's right, because I'm actually a celestial spirit- revealed Loke, knowing that as someone who has an extrasensory perception of vital energy, he should be able to verify it for himself

-Great!, I mean, does that have to do with dying slowly? - the boy's eyes lit up at this, it sounded interesting -(I should have realized, I think I never had him in front of a celestial spirit, for do the comparison?)

-I...- Loke lowered his head, this story would be long to tell. at least he hoped he didn't have to put up with too many questions


at 6: PM of the same day; we are located in the only public bathroom of magnolia, known for the recovery of the magical power that it provides to users

To exemplify this, Elfman came out carrying a basket with towels and an angry rubber ducky -public toilets are manly!- he said to go home

-Using the public bathroom from time to time is sure to be good! There is nothing like immersing yourself in a huge bathroom!- Shortly after this Lucy also left the bathrooms, and she would have gone home anyway, but she could perceive the presence from someone I had seen last night -Loke!-

just as he saw how Lucy noticed him, he practically appeared next to her with a bottle in his hand - take it, it's perfect for after leaving a bathroom - he offered her some milk

-oh, it's flavored milk!- he said agreeing to rise with a colorful lid

-I was thinking of taking it with you- she exclaimed serenely, taking out another one exactly the same as the one he gave her.

-You know, I had a pretty hard afternoon thanks to you- she sighed in annoyance remembering all the stress that being chased all afternoon caused her, that's why she had come here in the first place

He let out a sincere nervous laugh, he already imagined how this whole situation had been -ya, ya! Let's drink to your beautiful eyes- he said uncovering the bottle

Lucy did the same, and they both took a long, refreshing drink from her.

-Delicious!- exclaimed Lucy after trying it, it had a very sweet taste

"Right?" Loke nodded, agreeing completely. after all it was his favorite drink for breakfast

Their eyes met for an instant. but immediately, Loke deflected it with an awkwardness practically created by mere reflex.

Lucy noticed this unintentional little gesture, so she decided better to change the subject, going to the first thing in front of her. the infinite sky above their heads -the stars are very pretty-

-Yes- Loke said in a small nostalgic tone that went unnoticed by her

just at that moment a small brightness was seen in the sky. that moved falling to earth -a shooting star! I wonder what happens to a shooting star after it falls-

that phrase made Loke shiver, it was a perfect parallel to his current situation-do you understand the sadness of a star that cannot return to heaven?-

-That's another phrase to seduce girls, right?- Lucy got upset and pouted when she heard this, as if she was going to play a joke again -Are you thinking of cheating on me again?-

the heavenly spirit realized the small mistake, he had enough with beat. so he just gave a nervous laugh, letting himself be carried away by his misguided suspicions -you caught me...-

-damn...everything that comes out of your mouth is to attract women- Lucy laughed, knowing that the one next to her would not change soon. but at least she doesn't forcibly kidnap you like the fake salamander

-I'm glad I was able to casually talk to you like this- Loke finished his drink -goodbye- he said goodbye with an imperceptibly sad look. it would probably be the last time he sees her before he dies


15 minutes before

Beat flew into a huge library located in the crocus city, hundreds of cubic meters filled with millions of pages and thousands of books. he signed up on the visitor list without anyone seeing him and went into the halls-(I don't have much time, so let's do it fast)-

he began to move throughout the library at great speeds, all the people were totally frozen for him, from the people to the light itself

He quickly went to the section marked "magic books" and went to the summoning halls. it didn't take many picoseconds to find all the books that talked about celestial spirits in alphabetical order

-let's see, here it is, what are the celestial spirits? - he began to read the book precisely with this title -"entities from another dimension that create pacts with humans to help them with their needs"...damn, that already I know-

He began leafing through several dozen other books, reading them ALMOST from head to toe. most of them were just things that although they were informative, they were not useful for his current situation, for example; "If the 12 golden keys of the zodiac come together, they will open the door that will change the world." it was completely useless

-(I look forward to the day they stop exploiting me and do one of those chapters focused on others, where my participation is reduced to a simple cameo)- he sighed tiredly when he saw everything he had left to read. 500-page books filled with tiny letters each

he was annoyed not finding anything useful, giving a small blow to the table that split it in two and made the whole building shake -oops...there is no other-

he accommodated it mentally and soldered it as if nothing had happened -well, let's continue. "the spirits can't kill their"...it's just what Loke said!, hopefully I'll be able to find someone to go with to fix that -"owners, either directly or indirectly. the, king of the celestial spirits!, just that I need, there is NO time to lose!-

I rearrange the books as they were before I arrived. and left the library before the photons of the place travel a picometer

flashback

a few minutes we were on the outskirts of magnolia, beat was facing Loke who had just shown him his backstory

-Then, there is no way to save you?, as a hermit seed works, or I could give you some of my ki!, especially in my last transformations, I have over... If necessary I could even look for a kaioshin !, It should work- beat already said with concern. putting your brain to think ideas at an indescribable speed; all in search of a solution

-No, there is no other way. I can only wait for my death in silence and hope that Emma takes pity on me- she said starting to walk away slowly -I'm sorry you had to find out about this. just please remember not to tell anyone. maybe, see you never boy-

"It's not necessary!" he said somewhat desperately as he watched the other walk away. "I've seen worse things." and if necessary he could traverse each dimension in search of the correct way- and by shouting this, he lost sight of Loke-(okay, I'll do my thing. I won't tell anyone)-

it didn't take long for the saiyan to find levi's ki, and he immediately flew to her

end of flashback

Beat flew to Magnolia. landing right in front of Lucy who was hiding behind a concrete wall

-Hello Lu- despite her moderately well feigned happiness, the blonde covered her mouth to keep her quiet.

-Shhh!- Carefully the blonde pointed behind the wall, where there were 4 women inspecting the whole place as if they were looking for something. or someone -what do you want?- she asked carefully, because the slightest sign and they will chase her another 20 streets-(she knew she should have summoned virgo!)-

-Well, I was at the guild, so me and Romeo started arguing about Plue's nose. If it looks more like a drill or a carrot, could you summon it? in return I will take you home- I blackmail her with putting her to safety

I guess I don't lose anything. but if they come before we finish, you yourself take care of repelling them- Lucy sighed in a mixture of tiredness and relief. She could finally rest from those crazy people, she took out the silver key from her and placed it in front of her -open the door of the canis majoris!-

In front of her appeared a symbol showing Plue's face. a small portal opened in front of Lucy in which the silhouette of the dog could be seen -plue!- the celestial spirit staggered out of the dimensional hole

just as the portal began to close, beat moved at speeds imperceptible to both beings. reaching into the small gap that connected two realities through the macrocosm

With his hand in another dimension, he created a capsule of ki that contained space itself within it, creating a tiny pocket dimension that was physically visible from outside the sphere.

he returned to his starting position as if nothing had happened, after hiding the marble-sized sphere in his pocket -well, I think it's like a 50/50, even though it doesn't look like a carrot, its lines aren't on either spiral shape. I still think I won, I'm going to show it off to Romeo-

"Are you seriously going to blame a child half your age, who knew more about Plue's appearance, which I think he hasn't seen?" Lucy asked with a blank face, beat could occasionally be more immature than any member of the group after Happy...surely

"Yes," Beat boasted without much trouble, giving himself a thumbs up. I knew that this pose was damned, but it was worth it -now I will keep my promise- he said while he saw how three women began to walk towards Lucy annoyed

"Hurry up!" the blonde exclaimed just as they jumped on top of her, and were falling in her direction.

the boy, without much trouble, flew them to his house, they practically appeared in front of Lucy's house -thank you!, I would like to stay but I'm in a hurry to...tell him, see you, and don't forget to lose weight Lucy! -

the boy after that just walked away, leaving the confused and angry Lucy behind. by her abnormal rush to get away from her AND her reminder that she "is heavy"

meanwhile, lucy decided better to go to a magnolia public bath that she had heard about, she needed to relax after all this


beat was already far from magnolia, in case Loke could perceive an extremely powerful opening towards his home world, and where was he? no less than on the moon, with an aura containing oxygen surrounding him -well, let's see this- he said taking out the pocket dimension of his pants

He immediately went into his super saiyan god form, and with the hand that did not carry the space extracted from another dimension. he removed the atmosphere aura from his body, since he would not need it, at least until he changed form, because he knew that it is impossible for humans to breathe there, or in this case saiyans

he concentrated a beat, sending a small amount of ki into his hand so that it registered the tiny dimension. and it worked, he found unprecedented information from another dimension, from the vibration of the collected atoms to the behavior of his own space

With what he had collected and energy to spare, he created a portal large enough to let a person through. this with a simple thought

With the door already open, Beat flew in through that gap beyond reality. Just as he entered the portal closed behind him, as did the tiny dimension he kept as if nothing had happened.

when he was able to process what was in front of him, it only reaffirmed what he already knew. that traveling to other dimensions was bizarre, terrifying, or as in this case, beautiful. There were millions of stars in the sky, dozens of galaxies spiraling in the distance and several nearby crystalline planets -this is impressive!, probably the most beautiful alternate dimension he has ever seen-

and just while contemplating the beautiful view. A large ax descended on him, crashing hard against his head -eh?- I turned intact when I felt the contact of the weapon with the nape of his neck -oh, taurus!-

and as beat said, there was the celestial spirit of Lucy's second golden key -eh, aren't you the boy who works with Lucy-sama?- he said slowly withdrawing the ax

-the almost unique and unrepeatable. Why are you attacking me? - Beat asked narrowing his eyes. noting the curious fact that he seemed to have a much larger ki than on earth

-I'm very sorry, it was a warning in the case of whom I entered was hostile... to be honest I expected us to dodge it, it was so slow that any magician could have dodged it- said taurus while scratching his head somewhat embarrassed -WAIT! , what are you doing here anyway?... your presence in this place could make Lucy lose her contracts!, if you passed through her portals-

-Don't worry, Lucy shouldn't have any problems...legal? It doesn't matter, I came using my own powers- as a test, she raised her hand, and as nothing appeared several portals, one that led to the earth, one that showed a time room and lastly, one that showed a gigantic black space filled with grotesque dark matter creatures. one even saw him and headed towards them at high speed, but beat closed them before they even held within a light year of the portal

"Well, then Lucy-sama shouldn't be affected, but you should definitely go now! Humans aren't allowed to come freely to our world, we still don't have human keys!" the cow warned her. as one of the heavenly spirits for golden keys, her duty would be to return him to his world

-don't rush, I won't leave until I finish my business in this world!- beat said with his arms crossed, knowing that despite all the power of taurus, he couldn't even scratch him in super saiyan god

the bull gripped his axe, ready to "persuade" him to leave. he raised it above his head ready to attack at any moment

-I am sure that as the spirit of the taurus key you will know about this topic. I came with the intention of saving Loke's life. better known as Leo the lion - just at the moment when beat mentioned the last spirit of the zodiac. the taurus ax that was already in progress, stopped in its tracks inches from her hair

- LEO!? - the taurus was trembling upon hearing this, all the spirits of the celestial world already considered him dead, he had spent years on earth and was still alive -speak...- he said in a serious tone , keeping his ax on his back

-It's simple, one thing led to another and when I felt Loke's ki, I mean, I read, I realized that his vital energy was declining at an alarming rate and he controls everything, taking into account what he told me and the rate whose strength abandons him... if I can't get them to let him return, he won't get past today-

Taurus sighs heavily, his duty tells him to get rid of him, but his heart tells him otherwise. after some thought, he knew he didn't want to do another -okay, let's do it. I will take you to the castle directly with the king-

beat raised his thumb in approval, his mission was progressing -but we must hurry up or Loke will die, we've wasted enough time- he extended his hand to taurus to carry him and get faster where the cow tells him

-don't worry, here time passes faster than on earth, one day is there is equivalent to 3 months-

-Well, time passes 90 times faster. It's almost like the room of time! - beat landed and began to follow taurus through the path that would take them to the castle


Currently

-Open the door of the southern cross! CLUX!- Lucy was already back at her house. As soon as she arrived from her meeting with Loke, she decided to start investigating, his phrases aroused several questions

in front of her another warp opened in him the dimensional geometry, from which came what looked like a floating old man with a cross-shaped head

"So what a crux this old man is!" exclaimed Happy surprised and deep down a little disappointed, he imagined something more exciting

"Yes, I call him crumudgeon, if anyone knows specific information about celestial spirits, it's him" Lucy informed her, while Happy only reacted with interest. probably thinking that I could consult with him to find embarrassing data from other spirits -it's sudden but I have a request-

"Can you use your power to find which celestial wizards Loke was with in the past, crumudgeon?" Lucy asked the closest thing that existed to a seeker of celestial spirits.

but, to Happy's surprise, only a bubble of mucus came out. "He fell asleep, Lucy!" Happy yelled angrily, taking out a small board with a nail from his backpack, ready to wake him up.

Lucy put a hand on his shoulder stopping him before he did something stupid -don't worry, he's just looking-

"You're lying! He's completely asleep!" Happy was already preparing to attack again.

Lucy gave an annoyed sigh, she glared at Happy making him stop - crumugeon is a specialist in celestial studies, he knows everything about the doors that connect our world with his, he knows everything about the wizards who have opened portals to the heavenly world, I even think you can tell me the exact number of how many times the doors to your world have been opened in the last decade- he explained to avoid being interrupted, he had a feeling that the sooner they solve this, things would go better

Just at that moment the spirit gave a great and sharp cry as an indication that it had finished its investigation

- Did you find something? - Lucy wasted no time in asking, she felt that each second that passed lasted twice as long as the previous one

-I can not be very detailed since it is personal information protected even in the celestial world, however, the star spirit mage connected with someone named Loke, is karen lilica-sama-

Crumugeon explained what he investigated when he began to meditate and detach himself from his physical body, concentrating on all the connections of this world to his native dimension

that name surprised Lucy, she expected anything from dark wizards to key dealers. but not her -karen lilica?!-

-Do you know her Lucy?- to Lucy, confused by her astonished reaction

Lucy regained her composure in order to answer that question -she was a very famous celestial spirit mage, extremely beautiful and used to do photo shoots for sorcerers. her but she years ago she died in the middle of a mission- the fact that she was a celestial mage that she was DEAD was indicative that this situation could be a little more serious than she expected

-so he worked in a guild- vappy said confused, trying to connect points through what he was told

-Yes, he was a member of Blue Pegasus, if I remember correctly. So... what was the relationship between Loke and Karen?, she-she asked in a serious tone, it seemed that this revelation made her imagine the worst

"I'm sorry, but that's all I can do," he apologized. because not even he himself could reveal that protected information

and when they least expected it, his eyes were closed and two bubbles coming out of each nostril

"Hey!" Lucy looked at him with a blank face. being that it is not the first time that it happens

-He's investigating again!- Happy after seeing that previously it seemed like he was sleeping when investigating

-no...this time he fell asleep- said Lucy, as she returned crumudgeon to the celestial world ignoring Happy who was already angry

-Karen and Loke...- Lucy began to connect the dots she already had so far, from her knowledge of his death to the words Loke said in their recent encounters -wait!-

"What's wrong, Lucy?" Happy asked with concern at Lucy's possible conclusion, she would end up saying that Loke was an ancient domain created by an immortal dark wizard.

Before he could explain his theory, the door was flung open, with enough force to crack and guarantee that it would never close properly again.

-Lucy, we have a problem!- Gray came out of the door agitated and nervous-Loke HAS LEFT FAIRY TAIL!- Lucy informed him as fast as she could, this was a big emergency. and the teacher had not yet ruled on the matter

this was just a shot for Lucy, she had to find a conclusion for this quickly -W-why!?-

-We don't know! Everyone is looking for him! he's been acting really weird lately! .- Gray explained. a letter came in the mail to the guild a little while ago. indicating that Loke and was going forever and would not return

-could be...- this was what he needed to confirm his theory, or at least enough to prove it

she ran off at full speed after grabbing Happy by the tail. who was just trying to break free from his grip

-Hey Lucy! Where are you going to look for him? - Gray asked seriously. Lucy's attitude highlighted that he knew what was happening, but he was already too far away to follow her

and while when he went out to the streets he could see how it was not a lie that everyone was looking for him, at least in the surroundings he already saw several known members

"Loke!" Erza yelled, flying over the buildings of the city. wearing his sky wheel armor

"Where are you!?" Gray shouted at the top of his lungs, who had already left his house.

-Loke!- there he observed how elfman in his beast form jumped great distances, just like erza looking for him from an aerial view

and just a few meters away, Natsu opened the lid of an empty barrel - are you here, Loke? - He looked inside, but there wasn't even a boy with a green cap or something. he was running out of ideas, he even had already written his name in the sky with fireworks that should be seen thousands of miles away

-I doubt it...- gray commented in a low voice, they had started to fight if it wasn't for the current situation

"Loke!" Before she got far enough away, Lucy heard one last shout from her companions.

already several blocks away and with no one from the guild around him, he stopped and picked Happy up -sorry Happy, but we don't have much time...how long would it take you to take me to blue pegasus?- he asked seriously

"Huh? I think 15 minutes, at best 5, why?" Happy said confused, mainly because he was still dizzy and made him wobble in Lucy's hands.

-Well, I need you to take me there as soon as possible- he said leaving him on the ground

-Aye!- Happy made a military salute to take her from the back and take off towards that guild


Returning to another dimension, Beat and Taurus have already arrived at the castle of the king of the celestial world, a gigantic place that had several planets anchored with threads of energy. and 12 constellations orbiting around it

-we arrived, and now?- he said touching the crystalline door, he did not know if taurus would open it or he would have to break it with a punch

-Now follow me. I can only take you to the king, I'm sorry if I can't help you in such a discussion until the king allows me- the celestial spirit raised his hand, and the heavy doors opened slowly

The two of them crossed the long corridor with hundreds of changing pictures of multiple stars, there were constellations carved on the ceiling that do not exist on earth. and several branches of the main corridor that stretched for many light years

when they arrived at the king's door, taurus came back knocking on his door knocking

and immediately the great door tens of meters wide opened, revealing a large room with the throne in the background. and the king sitting on it

-(you know, strange when we put descriptions of existing characters)- beat thought as he approached the throne, because taurus knelt as soon as he entered the place

"Then it is you who has entered this world, you do not coincide with any celestial magician ever, there has been... what is your business with me?" said the king in a serious tone, giving him the opportunity to "demand" that for which he what came

-It's simple. as monarch of this world you should have been the one who banished him, and perhaps you are aware that I read, a spirit of the zodiac is about to die- beat said trying to sound as respectful as possible, he did not see the need to ask for it by force, for now -(should I kneel or...?)-

-It won't be necessary, you can stand up. look, i assume you're a member of fairy tail, and i appreciate your concern for one of our own; but I can not do what you want, Loke broke a law that has been there since we created the keys, since humans first saw the stars and were minimally interested in the cosmos, kill one of the beings that indirectly gave us shape and meaning by looking for shape to stars randomly positioned in the sky- expressed the gigantic monarch of that world

-I know, but there has to be some way that no one else dies!, as far as I know Loke, I just avoid summoning any other spirit. the bearer of it was stubborn and above all warning, of other human beings. She went on a dangerous mission, that wasn't a murder on Leo's part, it was a suicide, most likely done by her in full use of her mental faculties-beat objected, using Loke's story as best he could. trusting that she was real

I can understand your feelings towards this situation. It really isn't easy to even exile an old friend, but those have been the laws that have existed since our existence. rules that even if I wanted to, I myself can't break just like that- explained the king in the calmest way possible, he couldn't even feel the ki of the creature in front of him. he had to be careful in the case of an altercation of that being, because he didn't even know if he was bad or good

"Wait, just like that? Then it's possible!" exclaimed the ex-human, practically demanding to be told how he can save his partner

the king of the spirits gave a long sigh, knowing that this would be long - indeed there is. There are methods to save Leo, which I proposed when all this happened... but he refused- the ruler of this world raised his hand and immediately a gigantic book materialized, both in pages and size. it was a two meter law book

-great, like in the magical godparents, could you reduce it to a more comfortable size? - beat said, finding similarity to something he had seen before -...like Loke rejects alternatives?-

when he asked, the book shrank to the size of a thin book. and several books appeared not far away -well, I'll cut out the articles that aren't of interest, but you can still read them if you think I'm hiding something from you-

-thanks, but that doesn't answer my question- beat began to read it at high speed, approximately a thousand pages per second, so much so that it seemed like he was just browsing -(these books are longer than they seem on the outside...)-

The king turned his gaze in another direction, remembering the scene from three years ago -yes, yes, he refused out of guilt, he felt guilty, and he didn't want to be saved. at least at that time- the memory of all the spirits of the zodiac on the verge of tears came to his mind, while Leo begged to be punished, after having broken the greatest rule of existence

-Aha, that's fine... fortunately he doesn't know that I'm saving him- beat said more nervously, he hoped that none of these methods will necessarily require Loke's knowledge and approval


the blonde along with the cat landed in front of the guild gate, blue pegasus. As soon as Lucy's feet hit the ground, Happy fell to the floor exhausted, unable to move.

Already out of air Happy just fell to the ground, having broken his record by traveling 9,000 km in 2 seconds -enter without my Lucy, I would stay here to replenish strength- the cat took a bottle of water from his backpack, drinking it due to his great thirst what had

"...fine!" Lucy didn't even stop at Happy's warning.

the door was open so he had no problem getting in. Quickly scanning the area around him, it was practically empty. alone with the teacher in a bar. Lucy immediately went with him, and as soon as she saw her she knew what she was coming for.

"You're here for Leo, right?" said the old man with angel wings, like a deep seriousness in his voice despite his serene face. this while he poured Lucy a glass of wine

"Yes... then I'm not mistaken, right? He was Karen's heavenly spirit" Lucy asked already sure, while rejecting that drink

having already had similar conversations, at least a dozen times with another old man, he sighed internally - my girl, indeed, but what are you trying to do? I am afraid that it is impossible for us to save him- under her face, each contact she consulted told her that it was impossible if they had already banished him, unless they could defeat the king of the celestial world

-There must be a way!- Lucy perched violently on the bar, I think her hands on top of it. which were marked on the solid steel

-no, sorry...me and makarov have searched for a solution for years but we didn't find anything within our reach to help him- they had consulted with every person they knew, from porlyusica to the magical council

"D-Did the teacher know about this?" makes sense, I suppose you asked him to receive it in his last years- Lucy wondered who else could know, maybe some S-class wizard

-yes, there is nothing in our world that can help him, I can only fulfill the last wish he asked me, "please leave me alone, there is nothing to do". if it makes you feel better, it's on the outskirts of the city in karen's grave, maybe you can say goodbye and who knows, spend his last minutes with him and make them more enjoyable- said Bob in a hopeless tone, leaving Lucy She was already worried about Loke, she had to get there as soon as possible


beat finished every law book in the heavenly world, from the simplest ones like traffic, to the ones that would really serve you right now. he got up from the ground and stood at attention, looking at the king with determination - well, 172,800,000 pages seemed exaggerated to me. I wasted two days reading it all-

-I summarized it for you, don't complain- the king reminded him how they could have kept only what was necessary and finished reading it in an hour

-I know, but now I'm ready. and after reading alternatives such as another spirit taking his place on earth, going to hell for his owner and getting him to sign several documents- while looking directly into my eyes, he pointed right at his face -KING OF THE HEAVENLY WORLD , I CHALLENGE YOU!-

Taurus, who was already nodding at the head of the room, jumped from the impression before this statement - what!? You have to reconsider, nobody has won. not all the heavenly spirits together could scratch it, we don't have much time left, so think about the most practical option-

-Well, there it says that I can challenge the king to a trial by combat, pleading for a spirit to save him from condemnation. In this case I demand that loki, and any current, past and future spirits that kill their bearer directly or indirectly for just reasons, can be forgiven without resorting to this. As long as others agree - beat pointed this article out of thousands of books

-Of course, we created that law because we have met all kinds of warriors and barbarians throughout the history of mankind, but that law had never been fulfilled, that's why it is ALMOST special. although if you're serious, I have no choice but to accept, taking into account your situation, do you want to start right now, right?

-Of course, even though the flow of time goes much faster here, I feel like I have less and less- He put his hand around the bubble that contained his oxygen aura, and closed his palm, exploding it. the air returned to surround her body to allow her to breathe. meanwhile the aura of super saiyan god purified her completely, to return to her base state, knowing exactly how much power she would need to use

the king saw that this was serious, so he got up from his place. the tension of the place increased with a simple gesture -taurus, go looking for the others, everyone who is available must at least witness the outcome

Taurus knelt down, to quickly run out of the place, ready to call all the spirits of the zodiac

the roof began to open, showing the infinite space outside the already large castle -are you sure you want to continue depending on an air bag to fight?-

beat soon realized that he was referring to the aura of atmosphere -I'm fine with it, if I don't have it, I'll soon die from lack of oxygen, and less in a fight-

-well, I can provide you with a suit that allows you to breathe, otherwise it would be unfair, and there really isn't a law that prevents me from giving you-the king of was forming a small ball of magic, ready to change his outfit

-... of course, do it- beat resigned himself to accepting, anyway it was better than having a bunch of compressed oxygen around him

a light fell on the boy, and it had no adverse effect, in fact it changed his clothes to a similar one, only the outer clothes were blue with gold details. and the interior purely black clothes

Beat recompressed the oxygen just in case, and sent it across the room in case he needed it. something that would not be for now, because what the king said was true, he could already breathe -now, let's start- he said while a great transparent aura surrounded his body, increasing his ki to the limit. once he was ready he got into a fighting pose

Meanwhile he a giant sword only appeared in the hands of the king -this will be a 1 vs 1 fight until one of the two cannot continue, it ends until one of the two is unconscious. The interference of third parties is not allowed beyond in spectator mode-

the two stared at each other. the air pressure increased every second. the stars trembled from the power emanating from the castle, as a constellation dies


We are located in a small tomb with the figure of a carved Pegasus and the name of Karen Lilica, next to a gigantic waterfall larger than the Salto del Angel waterfall. About ten meters from her, Loke was standing, looking at her with a nostalgic and melancholy look

"Loke!" called the blonde behind the orange-haired man.

Hearing her voice, he turned surprised, he did not expect, he did not want anyone to arrive right now -Lucy...-

-everyone is looking for you, this is Karen's grave, right?- Loke had a shiver down his back when he heard that, she had guessed it before even arriving, because the orange-haired man was right in front of the grave -the mage of star spirits, karen, your owner, right?, star spirit Loke...no...your real name is, Leo, the lion!- Loke was even more impressed, he wanted her to leave as soon as possible

Loke just smiled nervously, this was the opposite of what he could anticipate, and what he could wish for -you did well to realize that I am a celestial spirit-

-well, I'm a celestial mage with many contracts and many star spirits, I finally figured out the truth, but I guess I should have done it before, right?...after an incident where the owner dies, his contract is annulled, then the spirit is forced to return until a new owner appears- she said imagining a scenario in which she dies, and Plue remains inactive until the key falls into the hands of someone else who is willing to make a contract -Karen died, so the contract should be over, and yet you're still here, for some reason you can't come back, right?

-Just as humans cannot live in your world, you cannot live here, your vital energy will be slowly drained, all to finally die- she slowly approached, being only a meter away from him

-It's been 3 years- revealed Loke, it really was a great achievement for any spirit

"T-three years!? You couldn't last a year!" Lucy impressed, she had never heard of a spirit that stays so long, some only last two weeks, in a period similar to fasting

-Well, I'm at my limit... I don't have any strength left- Loke confessed, he could barely stand, getting here had been a miracle

"I might be able to save you somehow! Tell me why you can't come back! I'll open the portal for you!" should be fine by now

-I know you have good intentions, but I don't want to be saved- Loke said turning with an expression of pure regret on his face

a knot formed in Lucy's stomach, of all the ideas to her next question, she hoped it wasn't the worst -what are you saying!?, at this rate you're going to die-

-The reason why I can't return is simple, I broke the most fundamental rule between spirit and owner, and thanks to that I've been banished from my home world for the rest of eternity- a lump tied in Loke's throat, who only thought how to explain it as precisely as possible

- Banished...for all eternity?! - Lucy said surprised, this was worse than what they had said. maybe there was a chance Loke had been cursed, but this is worse

-It is my crime, I must accept even death, as a celestial spirit I am a traitor, my due Karen... with my own hands... I killed her-

At this revelation Lucy's face went stock, she could hear her heart racing. the worst scenario was the real one


After analyzing him from head to toe, Beat charged towards him, knowing that he wasn't at his full power due to continuing to practice in repose. so it only remains to see how far the king's limit goes

his fist slammed into his metal chest, an incredibly hard surface that wasn't even dented, just pushed the king back a bit. despite the gigantic shock wave that shook all the nearby planets

Beat stepped back for a moment with his smoking fist. definitely the spirits are more powerful in this plane, not even Natsu star breaker or boosted jose could come out aware of that casual punch

-it's my turn- the king raised the gigantic sword, which immediately lit up in a reddish tone and was enveloped in orange flames -SOLAR FLARE!-

The great downward slash directly hit Beat, who covered himself with his ki-wrapped arm like a shield. the energy formation was cracking before the blade with the power of a thousand supernovae

while holding the sword above it, he used his free hand to fire thousands of ki spheres, which flew and headed for the monarch in every possible direction.

Seeing the energy attacks coming from every angle, he withdrew his sword and used it to slice through every sphere in the area in an instant. as if it was nothing

-It's not bad, but let's see how it goes. I have a bad habit of throwing each punch harder than the last, at least until I reach my limit- he stomped on the ground, reducing the castle to mere rubble of an unknown material. once these pieces blocked the view, beat circled the celestial spirit, until he positioned himself below it-(I got you!)-

Shimmering ki surrounded his fist, striking him in the back. causing a monumental impact that threw him at incredible speed. in an impact so large that it collided with a nearby moon, splitting it in half by mere landing

The boy appeared in front of him through teleportation. and he just sighed to see that he was there without a scratch, and he still couldn't guess which one was level enough to fight him.

-Is this all?- the king got up completely unharmed, -I guess you want me to take it seriously, and like your challenge. I accept it- he raised his sword, pointing at beat

the saiyan's body tensed automatically, in anticipation of what could happen, but before any of the thousands of possibilities that he created in his mind. what happened was totally different

time around him stopped completely, every body, light, subatomic particles or living beings and their thoughts

he advanced until he was in front of beat, who was frozen in time like everything in the galaxy, no, in this whole world

He threw a huge punch wrapped in a gigantic flash of light, hitting him square in the face so hard it knocked out a tooth and created ripples in space that collapsed the solar system.

after attacking, he grabbed it by the shirt before it flies away. to put it in front of your punt hey look and start flying at high speed in a straight line, crossing multiple planets, stars and moons as if nothing, leaving a great trail of destruction in its wake

and they stopped when they collided with a rocky planet similar to mars, the ruler of the world released beat into the air. letting time go on

beat fell to the ground thanks to gravity a million times stronger than on earth, he didn't even have time to stay when he was forced to spit out the blood from the missing tooth

a second later he stood up, wiping his already red-stained mouth. still processing the pain she had in her whole body -I didn't expect you to have the ability to stop time, I hadn't met someone who can stop time... since my alternate version?, she created-

-I don't know what you're talking about, but I haven't fought someone capable of withstanding such a beating, at least since Leo left- the king of the celestial world got into position, ready to attack at full power -this was a demonstration , and as you wish, we will fight with everything, I hope you too! - he stopped suppressing his power, his true strength was immense, so great as to destroy a galaxy in a cut of his sword

-You're awesome! From what I feel here, any heavenly spirit is more powerful than the strongest wizard in earthland. while they are in their home world-

the star being who was still carrying his attack nodded -indeed, after all we celestial spirits have access to the limitless energy of the celestial world, and we passively consume it as if nothing, allowing us to be with all our power, live forever and be Almost immortal as long as we're here. while traveling to the human world, we adapt to the power that the summoner has-

-All that sounds great... maybe I should think about how to take advantage of the energy flow of this or any world, it seems that each dimension has an invisible energy flow that acts in a different way- he seemed genuinely interested in that topic, maybe I could use it to launch powerful attacks without spending much ki -now let me use all my power!-

-KAIOKEN FOR TEN!- By activating this technique the power in his being increased immensely. a reddish aura enveloped his body, his musculature increased slightly -well, we have finished the warm-up, go ahead, attack me with everything, I will receive it head-on!-

Whiskers, with his strength already concentrated on his sword, struck it downwards against Beat -BLADE IMPACT!- During this process, the sword became much thicker.

the blade hit was stopped by beat using both arms to stop that blow with the force to eradicate life throughout the galaxy

the mere residual pressure of beat's body was enough to blow up the planet they were passing over, even though he only missed a quintillionth of the blow

and while holding that object, he concentrated a great amount of energy between his hands, doing the same as at the beginning of the fight, he fired millions of attacks through his knuckles, which were directed at the spirit through every possible direction

crazy that this time, the boy took the trouble to tighten the sword, ready to pull it in case he uses it to block it

Seeing this action, the ruler of the heavenly world was left with no choice but to drop his sword to deal with those attacks. he created a small portal for each form of energy, sending them to the other side of the dimension through a space warp of the same

but while he had his hands outstretched to send all the attacks away, beat didn't waste any time. and he just hit him with the hilt, crushing it on his skull

managed to drive him back several hundred kilometers, quite stunned by this. as he thought of a counterattack, he raised his hand and the sword just disappeared from beat's hands and returned to its true owner

beat saw this with disappointment, he already expected to be able to use it to fight, and probably replicate the monarch's magical techniques, through ki

the king seriously raised the sword in front of him, making a movement with it, painting something with the point, which created a large white circle -Look at this!, the death of a star forming the birth of another, one of the greatest Natural Disasters in Action: GAMMA RAY STORM!

the name itself gave beat indications of what he should do. she clasped her hands in front of him, also charging a gigantic attack as fast as he could

FINAL FLASH! - Both beams of energy were fired, and when they collided they created a gigantic glow. a great heap of cosmic radiation and ki slowly seeping out. destroying countless solar systems in moments. all this while the inhabitants of this world watched without concern, because in the end they survive, it is nothing more than a show for them

the energy began to concentrate in a single point. a small singularity in spatial geometry. a point without height, width or depth that began to absorb, or concentrate the full power of both attacks

Once powerful enough, the non-black hole singularity released the energy of a hypernova. neither of them anticipated that effect of ki colliding with gamma rays, that is exactly what allowed the explosion

a great flash illuminated what was left in the galaxy they were fighting, disappearing every atom in 500,000,000,000,000 light years. Except for the two of them who could still stand, and the spirits who rebuilt themselves using the energy flow of their dimension.

when the light disappeared, only a black void remained on the battlefield, along with the perpetrators. both barely scratched, and with the energy to fight more

Once the beat recovered from the daze, he saw the king with the sword in front of him, using it to block the blast. the two were standing in what seemed like an endless void because there was no light left

the boy dressed in blue launched himself against the monarch of the stars. ten meters away he created a sphere of ki in his hands, which the king instinctively blocked by interposing his sword between them. and instantly he changed the behavior of the sphere, the energy made contact with the blade and instead of exploding, took the form of an extremely sticky bubble that stuck his hand with the blade

the king was surprised, while beat smiled, using his attached arm to propel himself, and thus connect a strong kick to his chin, almost ripping off his jaw -what do you think?... BIG BANG ATTACK!- without the great spirit being able to respond or react. a sphere of very pure ki was formed in beat's leg, similar to the one that gave rise to the cosmos, but to a lesser extent

it was fired directly into the celestial spirit's face, a flash so large that it illuminated the black void they had both left behind, dwarfing the nearby galaxies. monumental power, only when it was over, the king's head had been totally destroyed "OH SHIT, I'm sorry...maybe I can find a dragon ball or..."

he became nervous, he had killed the king of this world. Having control of the energy, he easily detached his hand from the sword, leaving the glue there, and moving several meters away.

beat was thinking what to do -(maybe namek is still easy to find here, maybe the cereal planet...maybe kamisama is still alive on earth and piccolo daimaku locked up)- but before all his concern, the head of the governor It didn't take long to rebuild itself, as energy emerging from the neck, which later took on a more material form.

beah seeing this just shrugged -so in this way they survive the destruction that we ourselves caused -

-of course, being in our world, we don't leave until there is nothing left of our being, after all, since we were created, we feed on the energy flow of the universe- informed the most powerful of the celestial spirits

-But you wouldn't have allowed this fight if it wasn't for the fact that I can knock you out through mere punches, or am I wrong?- beat returned to his position, ready for the fight to resume

-It would not be fair, in the same way that it is not fair that you hold back with me. It's disrespectful- he said pointing the sword at the child's stomach, annoyed -I imagine that red state is much more powerful than your current form! I'm giving it my all-

-I know!, but I think it wouldn't be fun, not if I can beat you with one blow!- beat decided to provoke a little, it was a friendly fight after all, he didn't see the problem with joking about it -but well, both we know you just want to ignore the elephant in the room...or in the endless void-

-Well, I'll be surprised if you don't talk about Leo, but that would only be a distraction and it goes against my duty to take the fight seriously, because I couldn't ignore it even if I wanted to- duet a gigantic slash in the air, and despite the distance that was between the two, a small cut appeared on beat's cheeks instantly

he wiped away the blood that came out of that cut, it was definitely a technique that cut the space between the sword and the target, connecting it instantly once the cut is made -come on, it's the reason we're here, I think it would be too much to talk to you once we finish this. I mean, how long will we have to discuss results? We've already been fighting for about 15 hours-

He launched several slashes, which Beat had to dodge by teleporting once they were done. when the king was about to launch a great thrust, beat closed his hand, exploding the ki that he had left stuck to his back, hitting him in the face with such power that he sent him to the nearest galaxy

There it collided with the surface of a fully metal-reinforced planet, docking much of its surface. planet on the other edge of that galaxy

Beat soon arrived with the king who was already on his feet again, and without even saying anything, he looked at the saiyan determinedly, this time pointing at him with his free hand.

The boy waited for whatever it was and covered himself with his arms ready for anything, from lightning that transforms him into a moon, or that millions of black holes fall on him

but no, it was nothing like that. all the visible points in the sky lit up more than they should, along with trillions of other stars that gave the sky a totally white appearance -oh shit...-

before they could stay, every star in the galaxy shot out a huge beam of ultraviolet radiation, this from every possible direction. he beat only saw a great flash of light, when he was enveloped by the energy of the entire galaxy; he felt as if he was burned alive, his skin boiled at the contact of all that radiance

Seeing that, the king charged his sword with great energy, launching a large slash towards the horizon that disappeared into a small gap.

beat was in a furnace, it felt like being in a nuclear reactor only unspeakable times bigger. he tightened all the muscles of his body, expelling a greater amount of ki to take his power to the limit: having this ready, he joined his hands in front of his belly, beginning to create a vacuum between his palms that began to absorb the energy he received of the stars

in a short time the pockets of cosmic gases stopped emitting energy and returned to their usual state. but when he dissipated there he was beat still on his feet, with all his skin burned off and holding what looked like a miniature blue star -that wasn't bad, but how about this?-

beat retracted his hands, in a previously made position -GARLICK GUN: HYPERNOVA!- launched that gigantic purple power with a blue core

The king was alarmed at this move, receiving such an attack could mean the difference between victory and defeat, and to make sure, he slashed the air, creating a scrape in the fabric of space-time. containing and sending the attack to one of the infinite pocket dimensions within each dimension

-you have to be fucking around- beat sudo before this, he had suffered to extract the energy of all those stars and add his own -(I need something that doesn't spend so much energy, at least until I can recover my strength, wait...the flow of energy in the universe)- beat smiled, already creating the idea of a new technique


Lucy asked, that's the biggest taboo among star spirit wizards, there were very few cases in all of history, all of silver spirits -you killed karen, your owner?-

-Those who kill their owners cannot return to the world of star spirits. It is a rule that we have always known, and now it only remains to accept my destiny and disappear, in front of his grave. waiting for them to have mercy on me in the afterlife- Loke knew that he would probably go to purgatory, after all, he himself did not feel that he had done good with that action, even though it was with good intentions

-but it is...it can't be- Lucy still couldn't, she didn't want to believe that her guildmate was capable of having killed herself in cold blood. Or so it seemed

Loke gave a long sigh, it was the second time that day that he had to tell this story-it all started 3 years ago-


we switch to a memory scene, we are in the room where Lucy came to ask about Loke, the great pink guild of blue pegasus

there was a green-haired woman, karen, who was surrounded by a crowd of guys who were hopelessly obsessed with the one in front of them

-I'm sorry, now I'm going to the spa, be good guys and come home- she seemed quite tired, it had been a two-day mission in which she had to travel halfway across the country. typical

Hearing the ruckus at the guild entrance, Bob could only turn to greet

-oh karen-chan, you're back- he seemed pleased to have another member of his guild already at home

-how annoying- already somewhat annoyed by the harassment, she decided to take out another distractor, in the form of a golden key -open the door of the ram, aries!- an interdimensional portal appeared in front of her, letting out a pink-haired spirit with horns and clothes apparently made of wool

-um... call me? - she said nervously

-oh god!- one of the guys around was impressed by this. she was really pretty

"Aries! Do me a favor and keep them company, okay?" Karen said as she slowly walked away, a marked indifference in her face and voice.

-B-but I... I'm sorry!- she became more nervous before this, normally she wouldn't be so insecure, but in the face of Karen's abuses she didn't know exactly what to expect -I'm not a spirit to entertain men...-

this bothered the green-haired girl quite a bit, so she turned around with the spirit, looking at her with a look of death -are you disobeying my orders?, huh!?-

Aries could only lament and apologize at this, trembling from sheer fear and panic that had developed in Karen herself.

after so much physical and psychological abuse

and after this...he went to sit drinking some wine as if nothing had happened as if it was an everyday thing -honestly, when a spirit starts to answer its teacher...what will the world become? -

-karen-chan, don't treat your spirits so badly- this alerted the master of blue pegasus, but before giving it away he decided to tell him gently, getting angry would bring wrinkles in the future

-I have the right the right to treat what belongs to me as I please, or not?- Karen said as if you were talking about a simple unimportant object

-aries-chan seems to be suffering, just like when you use her as a shield against attacks from other magicians- this was already irritating him. as a former fairy tail mage she had developed great empathy

karen raised an eyebrow, these kinds of sermons only bothered her a little inside -suffering?, celestial spirits don't have feelings like those, they just return to their world and they're like nothing, they're just simple tools without soul or voice-

-Karen!- the teacher said already annoyed, with a fearsome face that no one in the place would like to see -The celestial spirits are living and sensitive beings too!, if you continue treating him like this you will be the one who suffers the consequences. Unfortunately I won't be able to stop myself, but if you continue to treat them this way, I'll be forced to ban you from the guild permanently, or at least until you treat them well; I beg you, try your best, unless you want to be the new member of phantom lord-

several hours passed and karen was already in her room a few blocks away from the guild, a large room with a gigantic bed and messy sheets in the background

-Don't go and tell the teacher the orders I give you! Karen yelled angrily, giving Aries a hard whiplash with a chain.

"No! I never said anything!" said the ram, in a desperate tone of supplication. she already had several wounds on her body from these blows, which will not heal until she returns to her world

this just seems to provoke her judging by the facial expression she put on - making Master Bob mad at me is no laughing matter!

"I-I'm not...I'm sorry!" Tears began to flow from her face at the constant blows she knew she was about to receive.

-Making you the victim, right? - Karen was more upset, seeing this spirit suffer before her was morbid, something she enjoys for no reason. so much so that she was already thinking of a punishment as a result of the recent events

-what is he going to do?- the possibilities were many, from throwing her off a cliff to leaving her hanging over a volcano: all while reminding her how miserable and pathetic she is in his eyes

a small idea slipped over his mind, it was horrible, perfect -as a punishment I will force you to stay in this world for 7 days!-

a shiver ran down her spine, being here that time was like not eating for two weeks for humans-seven days!?, but you don't have that amount of magical power, karen-sama- she received a whiplash for objecting in such a way -I'm sorry!-

She felt slightly offended by this comment, mainly because of that little disparagement -don't underestimate me if I were you, better worry about yourself. I wonder what will happen to a heavenly spirit that stays in this world for a week, I'm curious...-

-P-please stop! I'm sorry- Aries was about to burst into tears when he saw what was coming, since he had her it could be the worst punishment he's ever done, because every physical abuse in that time will last a long time much more than usual. as she slowly weakens

The green-haired girl was about to hit her with all her might, when she just disappeared, a poof-are you running away? It's useless! I'll call you as many times as I need!

He began to quickly search for his keys to validate his point, but someone grabbed his arm from behind. it was Loke, then known as leo -you're wrong, he forced her to change places with me- the celestial spirit tightly squeezed her wrists, he was willing to do it for good -stop it, karen-

-leo, the lion- she looked annoyed, that spirit that always challenges her had suddenly appeared. this was not good for her in any way

"How dare you open the door by yourself?!" She began looking for the key herself, she needed to banish him from this world as soon as possible.

-I am a battle spirit and quite strong, I can go through a bit of ill-treatment, but I cannot bear that you say hurting Aries, if you continue, I will not forgive you-

-And what does a spirit like you plan to do?- I knew that he cannot attack, nor take the key, because the very laws between spirit and owner prevent such a thing. it was impossible for her to actually do anything to him that would force her to leave them

-I think I should tell you directly, I want you to free us both- Loke said as he looked her directly in the eyes

-What?- This was something that she did not expect, that her spirit would threaten her directly so that she would leave them, there was no law that prohibited it, but this was something that she did not like at all

-I can't bear to see your bad actions, others are afraid of ending up in your possession, not even criminals with access to us are so cruel, you are a disgrace as a magician- this was a topic of discussion in the last meeting of the 12 spirits of the zodiac. the only one with complaints apart from him and aries, was aquarius, and the worst thing with her was that the current owner of her was a 16 year old girl

"SHUT UP! What you say is pure stupidity!" He took out his golden key, moving it horizontally at high speed through the air in an attempt to get rid of him.

-Come back! Close the lion's door!...- but it didn't work at all, it didn't even disappear and reappeared instantly -close, come back Leo!...why can't I make a forced closing?-

Loke wouldn't leave without leaving her empty-handed, this had already gone on too long for her own good – not until you free us, I'll stay here. and meanwhile, you will not be able to use another spirit. With your power you cannot summon two spirits simultaneously, what will you do?

-this won't work, in ten days my power will be exhausted and you will disappear- she thought that her plan was destined to fail, there was no way she would force her, after all, she was already prepared to stay two weeks in the city

-No, I use my own magic to be here. there are some ruins on the outskirts, if you consider it, come find me- despite using his own power, he was still linked to karen's magic, so if he felt that he was trying to summon another spirit, he would only stop using his power for a moment to avoid it. so he just left the room

-how dare you!- she was furious, she couldn't work until she abandoned her two spirits, even then she would have to look for other keys. or just change careers

He slammed a chair hard against the wall, reducing it to splinters just from his anger.

Loke walked towards a ruined building to the west of the city, surrounded by an old graveyard. somewhat ironic, knowing if the situation was out of memory

a week later, there he was still sitting in the back of the church, looking tired and sweaty. he had nausea and dizziness, his stomach felt queasy, as if at any moment he was going to vomit stardust

karen entered with a look of false concern on her face -come back leo, you're already at your limit- what she said would be true if it were any other spirit. or if you take into account the appearance of him already worn

Loke narrows his eyes, he is the leader of the 12 doors of the zodiac. And he earned that position thanks to his leadership ability, determination, willpower. And more importantly, his power and resistance -I am capable of what others are not, I will not leave until you free us-

-Are you crazy, do you expect me to abandon 2 of the 12 zodiacal keys? With you I can save a lot of money- she reminded him that if he left them out there, he would have no livelihood. One of them alone was valued at tens of millions of jelews

-Go away, when you feel it you will let us go- the rejection with crossed arms. She at the moment she was firm with this punishment

-son of...- she clenched her fist angrily, she wanted to hit him for everything he was doing. She probably hadn't been this mad at someone in years.

and so the weeks passed, a conversation repeated daily that always ended the same. She arrived and begged to let him use her keys, only to leave powerless before the refusal of the spirit.

-please, it's already been a month, I can't get any job, I swear I won't mistreat aries from here on out- I was already desperate, it was the thirtieth time I did this, I was tired of the same thing, over and over again . Her financial situation could slowly get worse, and if she doesn't want to lose all her money, she should solve this problem soon.

He looked her straight in the eye, saw her trembling, desperate gaze. But more importantly, he saw the rage directed at the whole behind her expression – are you sorry? You're a liar. if you really did, we had already freed ourselves- he rejected her dryly. He looked like he was already tired, sweating a lot and breathing heavily.

Karen clenched her fist, this filled her patience, she couldn't take it anymore, she clenched her fist with all her might. She punched him in the face herself, causing him to spit blood a couple of times. And throwing him to the ground in pain -idiot, die and go to hell!, if you disappear I can summon aries again!-

Just then Bob came in carrying a basket with some food.

and so another two months passed, the visits became less and less frequent until he only appeared weekly

-I'm getting used to being in the human world, I'm still getting weaker but at least I don't feel like I'm going to die anymore I think I could forgive Karen for now, it should have been enough, if she mistreats aries I can always do this again- Loke said noticing how he really didn't feel so bad anymore, I could say he was weaker, but somehow he wasn't suffering as much. Before it was like not having eaten in a long time, now like sleeping a little late

Just as he said that, reflecting on his current situation, he saw Bob approaching with his head down, his expression heavy. She could imagine what happened

now loke and bob entered the old church, all this with leo furious and frustrated by what had just happened

"Damn!" Loke slammed his fist on the ground in frustration, nearly collapsing the entire church by accident. Just when he was about to leave all that behind, she died.

-She accepted a dangerous job without telling anyone. she must have been desperate for money after not working for three months- she remembered how she had stolen a dangerous mission reserved for elite members, to face a member of the dark guild known as oration six

-She shouldn't have been able to summon another spirit, and even so...- she never expected Karen to decide to go on a mission without being able to use her magic, she didn't think she would be so reckless

-A mage who uses a large amount of magic at once, should be able to summon two spirits simultaneously. she should have trusted that- bob wasn't too happy with this situation either, despite her treatment, she was still a member of HIS guild

-All I wanted was to teach him a lesson, to teach him that we, the stellar spirits, also suffer from their abuse, that we have souls, desires and feelings, not this... KAREN!- Loke broke down in tears. Since he existed thousands of years ago, he had been taught that he should not kill his owner, that the life with which he has a contract is his responsibility. And now he was gone because of her


Back to the world of celestial spirits

There were beat and the king, in the infinite black void, fighting, using all their power -DESTRUCTIVE STAR BREAK!-

Beat was already getting used to the king's fighting style. He even tried to emulate his fighting style, which is exactly why he used that technique that he had seen Beerus in the card game. He directed all the black holes in millions of light years around, in the direction of the monarch who was only immobile

All the singularities collided in a single point, stretching, tearing and consuming all the space and time around them. The gravitational waves that emanated from that shock shook everything around them; this continued until beat charged a gigantic mass of energy onto his head, which only grew to the size of a star

When the attack hit, that entire gravitational anomaly just collapsed in on itself. Imploding…and wiping out another galaxy -this is getting too long! Galaxy number 95. And we've been at this for a day!-

-If only you used all your power!. Sure, you still have energy, but I think your body is beginning to resent being in that demanding state for so long- the king yelled at the top of his lungs. And he was right, beat could already feel an uncomfortable tension in his muscles: as if they were waiting to explode.

"Then why don't we hurry?" he said creating a sphere of ki, which seemed to be rotating on its own axis, due to the spirals that formed on it

The king did the same. Raising his gigantic 10 meter sword. Charging it with energy, taking on a rosy glow, until its size quintupled

Beat threw that projectile, which distorted all the space-time around him. -DISRUPTTOR OF THE STARS!-

The king pointed the sword at him, and shot an energy state attack at him, with the same shape as the blade of his sword. He did not want to shout the name of the technique out loud

The sphere that rips apart reality until it destroys the ideas and thoughts with which it comes into contact collided with the blade that consumes four of the fundamental forces of the universe, together with material and imaginary formations. Both reducing the normal space and current events in that area, to a void without height, width, depth

And that void, previously a thousand light-year solar system, only disappeared, once the concepts filled it back in. As if only a cubic kilometer of the ocean had evaporated

Beat circled the place they had erased from existence, arriving with the king in a thousandth of an yoctosecond. From the perspective of the celestial spirit, descending to deliver a blow to the back of the head

But he was prepared, and with a quick movement of his sword, he opened a gap in space-time behind him: making the sword come out the front, brutally cutting Beat's chest -oh shit...!-

He was able to hold back the cry of pain as he bit his lips hard; but he did not end there, the king took him strongly by the torso, completely enclosing it with his palm. He drew the sword and used his free hand to create a gigantic transparent surface in order to impact against it.

The abstract being born from the conceptions of humans about the stars, stamped beat's body through the metaphysical glass

The spirit released him after the impact, leaving Beat floating several meters. Completely damaged by those attacks against which he had not been able to protect himself. And several seconds later when he recovered from the daze, he lunged again with the intention of hitting him in the left pectoral, in such a way that the impact hits him directly to the heart. if he had

But the king already had something prepared. Once he got close he beat him he ended up trapped in a spatial distortion that was previously invisible, meanwhile the king raised his hands, forming a gigantic mass of energy above his head

And when he was able to do something, he was already in a completely different place. She was in an elliptical galaxy. With billions of stars inside of it - he must have tried to lock me in a pocket dimension to buy some time. Maybe he wants to heal himself or charge an attack. Well, I must get out of here!-

He began to expel his ki aggressively, nebulae collapsing, stars imploding. And the space shattered before the cracks that expand at high speed through three-dimensional space

Once that pocket dimension disappeared. I was somewhere in a spiral galaxy; the biggest difference was that he now felt quadrillions of different ki at this distance. And an unquantifiable amount beyond -not only did he lock me in a pocket space, did he send me to another dimension?...shit, I think I'm back in the central dimension- he seemed a little worried, time passed 90 times faster here. If he doesn't hurry, the king might fully recover -(I think I'm short of oxygen here)-

Noticing how his suit stopped working, he began to quickly search for some human energy in the entire universe, it really didn't take him long to find it -(well, due to the position and proximity to the earth, I think I'm in andromeda. There is no need to teleport )-

He flew at high speed through space, leaving the galaxy behind, passing through a solar system torn by ancient battles on the edge of it, and reaching the milky way in seconds. There she crossed to the other side, almost colliding with a flying capsule

He landed on the ground with some haste. She was just as he left her: she got close enough, leaving the top of Mount Kaio, one of the largest mountains in the world, currently with a hole in its top, the size of an island.

He concentrated deeply, searching the entire land, and having already been to the place he wanted to go, he soon found a portal opening in that instant. With enough concentration she could feel what lay beyond space-time, all through that trans-dimensional hole.

But he couldn't arrive empty-handed, it had already been 10 seconds since he was locked in that pocket dimension. So in his hands he began to concentrate a beastly amount of ki, putting his arms in front of him with a large mass of yellow energy storing between his hands.

Towards the effort to contain all the power in his hands, not only to maintain effectiveness, but also because if 1% leaks out of control. It could definitely end the galaxy

Once he had everything ready, he used teleportation, managing to cross in an instant through the portal already opened by some celestial wizard somewhere on the globe.

He was out 12 seconds. 18 minutes that the king took advantage of, and that was seen when he was able to observe that the galaxies that they destroyed were apparently rebuilt; and as soon as he arrived, he fired the attack indiscriminately, without even seeing what it hit -FINAL FUTURE FLASH!-

And when the yellow ray seemed to disappear on the horizon. It just disappeared suddenly: after all it was made for that

-(well, I appeared in andromeda, so...it must be in a neighboring galaxy)- he turned in all directions, he couldn't feel his ki, but he knew that the big mustache had done it as soon as he arrived -AHHG!- he moaned in pain as something hit him in the face at a speed he couldn't even perceive.

He had no further opportunity to think about it when, as he guessed, it was not long in coming. Space itself opened up behind him, releasing the king from another galaxy. Who, without even waiting for him to realize his presence, tightly pressed his arms to his body to immobilize him -let go of me!-Beat made every effort to free himself, but his current position prevented him from doing so.

-not yet- said the king, while his hands began to glow progressively

Faced with the threat of an attack, he had to use some alternative. So the first thing that came to mind was; take a deep breath, puffing out his chest slightly, and once he expelled it it wasn't just air, it was a small white mass the size of a golf ball

That thing flew stealthily behind the mustache, there a form identical to beat, but white, with a ghostly tail, and in miniature: He stretched out his hand, and just by touching it. He blew up making me drop beat

It may seem like the attack took too long to activate. But really only a thousandth of an yoctosecond has passed… since beat arrived in this dimension

Beat was unharmed by such movement -so, did you increase your power?, because your sword shines a very unusual yellow-he felt a great power emanating from that thing, although he could not say what effect it could have. if I had to guess, I'd say it was saving power for a specific attack

-of course, it will be a tool that will help us later- the king raised the sword above his head. beat processes the situation, contemplating any possible attack, billions of possibilities being considered in parallel for each instant. but he did not contemplate an option as simple as what happens; he made a quick diagonal slash towards beat, who was able to get out of range of him, dodging the energy slash that came behind him, which sliced a moon in the distance.

Beat swung his leg back, gaining enough momentum to launch a swift kick at his waist. he expected her to block him with his sword, as he had the plan to knock it out of her hands in one swift motion; but, to his surprise, he blocked it with a punch, matching its power and angle exactly.

This sent out ripples that pulverized the worlds around them. And surprisingly, it also slightly cracked the blade, which closed the crack before all that energy seeped out.

He decided to use this to his advantage, and instead of going back to attack from another angle. He pushed the metal weapon against his body using all of his strength; he took it to the center of the galaxy in an instant, where they collided with a massive quasar a million light years

Once landed, they passed through the photon sphere and collided with the event horizon. When they interacted with that non-physical formation, they took the celestial object out of orbit, so abruptly that it slightly moved the galaxy -hey, what happens if I throw you into the singularity?-

-I will return, even if my physical body is destroyed until there is nothing left- the 20-meter giant did what he could to avoid falling into that place, ending up there would sentence his defeat. But throwing his opponent there was not allowed, because beat if he would die

-But I will win by default, right?- beat at this point had his fingers forced into the sword for a better grip

-...of course- the force exerted between the two was something unique, that had never been seen in this dimension, a force that barely managed to be absorbed by the black hole, in a curious action that managed to negate collateral damage

-I just remind you, I HAVE THE COSMOS UNDER MY CONTROL!- Just by saying that, the black hole shot both of them a gigantic beam of concentrated hawking radiation at both of them. This took the boy by surprise, and he took the attack almost squarely, crashing into a distant planet on the edge of the galaxy, only accidentally taking cover, making use of the sword larger than himself.

Meanwhile the king managed to dodge it in time

There beat was damaged, almost unable to move -I must do something to win, otherwise a fellow member of the guild could die...no matter what happens, just keep going no matter how much your body says no)-

He got up from the crater, holding his arm, which was very sore. Most of her bones were broken; and meanwhile his opponent appeared in front of him and the sword flew into his hand. He wasn't that great either, but he was definitely better than beat

-Transform as soon as possible, I remind you that as much as I want I can't let myself win. As much as this time he just wants to lose - the spirit raised his sword threateningly, ready to launch the final attack that he had charged in the Saiyan's absence

-...it would be stupid not to, I wanted to beat you like that. But who cares, it would be selfish to contain myself in this situation just for fun-beat I accept it, sometimes I was too capricious in that kind of detail. -HAAAAAAA !-he began to increase his power at an abysmal rate, while his hair flashes red


-That was the sin I committed, human life cannot be recovered once lost, for eternity. My only way to repent is to suffer the same fate- said the celestial spirit, who fell to the ground, without strength, contemplating how his body began to become transparent and his atoms would soon collapse.

-Loke!- Lucy approached him worried, it seemed that she was going to disappear from existence

-I guess it's only a matter of time before it disappears- Leo hurt horribly, it was as if every particle of his body was on fire

- What are you talking about? - Lucy clenched her fist, annoyed to see how she just gave up, without the will to continue or look for an alternative

-karen...- Loke mentioned her with regret, with the intention of naming her for the last time in his life -since that day I haven't been able to return to the heavenly world, multiple spirits searched for me. But not a single alternative seemed fair to me, not for what I did-

-Your hand!- Lucy exclaimed with concern, at this point her left hand began to slowly disintegrate, releasing only small particles that slowly ascend into the sky

-It is the law of the world of the stellar spirits. The overriding rule, I can't do anything about it: I've just been persisting until this moment came. And finally, the time has come- Loke remembered how he had left Blue Pegasus to forget her, even though Bob offered him to stay for the rest of his life. And then he joined fairy tail to start a new life, where he began to flirt with dozens of women, with the intention of forgetting her: but even so, at every moment, he felt like that memory and guilt still haunted him -thank you lucy, for letting me meet a good heavenly mage after decades, I'm grateful to you-

"Wait, I'll save you! Somehow!" Lucy said determined, there must be something she could do, maybe give him a large amount of magic, or summon a spirit so that Loke passes through the portal.

-it's impossible, please, give my respects to fairy tail, they were great comrades during these last years- Loke was lying on the floor, he didn't have the strength to even move, his arm at this point had disappeared

-no!- lucy hit the ground out of sheer desperation, leaving several cracks on the ground

-Lucy!...- Loke saw this impressed, knowing that all this should be useless

-I don't accept it! If you return to the world of the celestial spirits, your energy begins to recover instantly! of multiple holes in his body that were getting bigger and bigger

-Not Lucy, please. That's the law- loke did what she could to get her away from her, but she was useless, she was so weak that she couldn't even get her away

-but…this is wrong!, you didn't kill karen, it was just an unfortunate incident- -come back leo!, open the lion's door! closer, practically embracing him. She only came up with one option to help him

-lucy. Enough is enough, stop it- she squirmed with all his strength, because he had an idea of what he would try to do. not achieving anything

-I won't stop! I can't do it when I see how a friend disappears in front of our eyes- Lucy began to expel her own magic, something so linked to her own vital energy, that it could kill her; the magic could not be absorbed by loke's body, so a small part of it took the form of a great pillar of light that reached up to the clouds, one that overshadowed the energy of the very forest they were in, and dispersed the clouds-! OPEN THE DOOR OF LEO!-

"Lucy! Don't use so much magic power at once!" Loke tried to warn her, seeing how her skin began to dry out and small cracks appeared.

-I said that I can save you, no matter what! I can force the door to the world of celestial spirits... LOOK AT ME!- the torrent of light began to reduce its size, condensing into a sphere around them , in an attempt to force magic into Loke's body. Unfortunately it did not look so good, because even several portions of skin began to detach

-stop!- loke saw how blood began to come out of his mouth, at this rate the damage to his body would be irreversible

-Open the lion's door! Open yourself!- A tornado formed around him, due to the amount of abnormal magic in the environment. Distant clouds were beginning to swirl around the city

-it cannot be opened, the celestial spirits that killed its owner will never be able to return, please stop!, you are beginning to erode with me, at this rate you will also disappear- no matter how much it recovers its power, it will only lose it again, to disappear

"I won't let you die, what's the point of having magic if I can't use it to save a friend!?" shouted Lucy, who had joined a guild to make friends. Losing them was not on his list

"Stop! Don't make my crime worse," Loke reported, because it was the last thing he wanted, to see how someone else dies because of him.

"What crime!? If that's the rule in the Celestial Spirit World, then I'll change it!" round


Returning to the heavenly world, there was beat with his deep red hair, deep red eyes, and an aura that seemed as if it was burning.

-(again I can't feel his ki… could it be that he has the power of a god?)- the king was intrigued, the last time they received someone like that, he almost destroyed this dimension and they had to give him a banquet

By this point I was already tired, so the god phase wasn't as powerful as it usually is. But he was more than enough to fulfill his purpose - this ends now - he put himself in position to hit it and win. But... in the time he gave her to react to that statement, something happened that he didn't expect to happen right now.

A gap in space-time opened several light years behind the king, a "FUTURE FLASH FINAL!" It was heard through the ages

-What?...- The mustachioed barely had time to say a word, because it took him distracted, and that attack took out all the internal energies of beat to launch an attack more powerful than himself. So just... he was disintegrated leaving nothing behind, it was a bullet train hitting a pigeon head on.

The beam also pierced beat, who in that form did not even flinch. But he kept a blank face seeing how all this ended -you have to be fucking around- he gave himself a facepalm, because he had completely forgotten that he had launched that attack to take the king by surprise and in the end he surprised them both -well , there is not much left to do- He stayed there for a few seconds, waiting to see what would happen. It took 5 minutes to completely rebuild, he was unconscious -well this fight is over- he said with satisfaction, the damage done by the kaioken had already been healed by the god phase, so he just grabbed the old man's mustache and put his hands on his forehead. to disappear

In an instant they appeared where it all began, the castle. Which was now inhabited by several beings, each on a balcony at the other end of the room. There were those he knew or had heard of

Beat without saying anything put his hands on the king's back, giving him an electric shock to wake him up.

The old man woke up alarmed, worse than if they had thrown a bucket of cold water on him -ag, couldn't you do it any other way!?, it was enough to move a little, maybe a pinch- he looked at the boy accusingly

Beat emitted a high-pitched whistle of guilt. "Sorry, I didn't know if you were unconscious, asleep, or in a coma...now, can we put loke, I mean, leo back in his place?"

The monarch got up heavily - having justly defeated me in an official fight, the law indicates that it is so! What do you think zodiac spirits, your leader will be back!-

They, even though they wanted to maintain a certain level of professionalism. Several could not help but shout with emotion, like a taurus who said - FINALLY, I KNEW THAT IT WAS POSSIBLE CHILDREN OF MOOO !-

The king summoned his sword again, which had stayed a hundred million light years away - I read the lion, after so long you will return, old friend - he raised his sword and slashed quickly at the air, leaving a rip of static energy. That only expanded to a perfectly circular shape, a one-sided window to the human world, which could open at any time

There they saw how Lucy was emitting a large amount of magic, while she eroded herself, only in slow motion

Beat was surprised at this -lucy!- he was about to leave, when the king took him by the shoulder -what?, why do you stop me from saving them?, I thought we had reached something-

-Indeed, but I ask you to let me fix it, please- said the king, seeing how beat took a few steps back, nodding for him to do it -here I come leo, boy, I thank you, if it weren't for you. I myself would have killed a key carrier- he made some movements with his hands, reproducing in the portal what had happened minutes before -I will be forced to do a bit of theater- he opened the transdimensional window through which gigantic jets of energy came out. water, flooding the room

The king took a deep breath, to finally enter the portal, which closed and returned only to show what was happening on earth


Lucy kept trying to give her magic to Loke, action for which she seemed to be about to die. But just at that moment the energy that was around her seemed to concentrate at that point, and then implode, sending them both flying, falling one meter away from where they were, embracing each other. But loke was complete, and lucy restored

"What's that?!" Lucy's jaw almost dropped, she watched as all the stars in the sky moved at high speed, spinning as if orbiting around the earth.

In front of both of them, a rip formed in existence, a black void that for a few moments absorbed everything around it, mainly water. After several seconds, the body of a giant passed through the portal, and it closed behind him.

-That's it...it can't be, the king of the stellar spirits! Why is he here? Who brought him? - Loke's pupils shrank. His personal presence was not something he expected on his deathbed.

For her, that explained why Loke had stopped dying, and she was as if nothing had happened -the king!? intimidating appearance, after all it was a 20 meter giant

The most powerful of the celestial spirits, was standing in front of him, floating above the gigantic waterfalls as deep as the height of a skyscraper - old friend, it is forbidden for us who have agreed with the humans, to kill the one who has the key, already either directly or indirectly. Leo the lion, you are no longer allowed to access the heavenly world, b-was going to continue his speech, slowly leading him to loke's salvation, but was interrupted

This situation made his head quite hot. See how loke was basically abandoned by the one who was still self-proclaimed as his friend, apparently not looking for alternatives -hey, that's an exaggeration-

"No, Lucy!" Loke tried to stop her, he himself believed he was doomed. And he knew that a bad interaction with the king could leave her in a very bad situation as a mage.

This behavior before the highest authority of the celestial spirits, from a celestial mage. And in order to save one of their own, it was enough to scheme. "Old friend… human girl, that law would not be changed…" she decided to continue with this. He needed to test the next bearer of the leo key.

Loke looked surprised, not believing that to be the reason. I honestly didn't remember how many millennia ago it had come out, anyway, the death of the leo spirit was not something forgettable in the celestial world-(wait, did it appear because lucy said that she would change that law?, just for that reason it came?... or perhaps, is there something else?) - he thought, looking out of the corner of his eye where he had come from

Beat seeing this through the window created by the king, had a small chill that went from his feet to the back of his neck

-for three years… loki has been dying for 3 years, in a slow and painful process, for his friend!, for aries!, what else could he do!?- lucy couldn't really imagine that suffering, it must be like not eating in years. Maybe it will get to the point where it's as painful as cancer

-I am also hurt by this decision, by being forced to be his executing hand, because I myself cannot break the laws, no matter how much I want to, no matter how hard I try. I am the king, really that makes our laws stricter on my head than on any other- what he said is true, because even if he tried, his body would simply not respond. The only way to do something, is by using the same laws, or a bureaucratic process of 10 years on earth

-What are you talking about? He's not your "old" friend, he's your friend! Right now, before your eyes, listen to me, whiskers! - the king must have some way to save him, she knew. Maybe give it energy, or something like that

Now if he was surprised, he had gone to the point of offending to save him. He only knew two humans who did something in the last decade, and on the same night-(whiskers?)-

-l-lucy- loke got a lump in his throat and began to sweat

-Loke didn't kill her, it was just an unfortunate incident, I won't accept anything other than her complete innocence!- she said as she started looking for her keys in her pockets

-Enough Lucy! I don't want anyone to forgive me for my sins, I want to repent of them. I want to disappear! - He begged for the last time loke

Lucy took out the keys, and immediately began to open them all simultaneously in a great flash of magic -you can't!, dying won't bring Karen back, that only causes more sadness- she concentrated all her magic on the keys, succeeding Somehow open several portals from which all his spirits came out, Aquarius, Taurus, Cancer, Plue, Virgo, Sagittarius, among others -it's not a crime! Worrying about your friends is not a crime!-

Loke was impressed, its previous owner was a powerful mage, but she couldn't even summon two at once...perhaps beyond power, a better connection with their spirits was needed -these spirits...friends...even Karen couldn't summon that many at once-

-If you disappear things will not improve loke, aries, your colleagues, the guild and me. It will only make us sad, don't repent your sins like that!, she learns from it and moves on. Loke, I know you want to live- all the spirits agreed. They were his own thoughts about Leo's situation, even the silver ones. Moments later, Lucy fell to the ground exhausted and without reservation she cast magic, still conscious.

-Lucy!- Loke went instantly to help her, but he didn't need to do much when he saw that she was starting to get up on her own. Just giving him some support

-all my friends showed up, because they feel the same as me. They were your friends, for much longer than I even knew you, hundreds of millennia, maybe millions of years in the celestial world. We don't want you to go, least of all in this way, with only regret, guilt and without the will to continue- she knew that she still had a long time to live, and as long as she had the opportunity to do something, Leo would not die today

-Lucy!, because you strive in this way, just to make me feel better. Do you want to end up like Karen? -Even in this situation, he couldn't help but scold her for this, if she died it could be worse. She would try to hold out as long as possible to inform fairy tail

The king who had been silent, was now sure in his heart that loke would be in good hands, the best he could do to prevent a repeat of the situation of 3 years ago -if my old friend got to the point of saying that. Maybe the law is wrong. Leo, who committed a crime to protect his Aries sister from him, and you, who risked his life twice in one night to save him. Considering the beauty of that bond and how far they are able to go to save them, Leo, I will make an exception, you are allowed to return- he raised his arm, and with a simple snap of his fingers, the golden key appeared in Lucy's hand -I hope you feel ready to resume your position, because I will need help to improve our most important law!-

Lucy contemplated this, squeezing firmly -you're not that bad whiskers!- she said with a hint of a smile, raising her thumb

The king did the same, putting on a gigantic smile and an even bigger laugh -you're forgiven. I took the trouble to restore your health, but don't call me whiskers again, or I'll destroy all your contracts-

-but...- loke still had a claim, deep down he felt that he had not fulfilled his sentence, the one that throughout his existence, he was taught was sacred

The king disappeared in a flash, leaving only a star-shaped glow in the background - your friends made gigantic efforts to save you. If you want to redeem yourself, I command you to live your life, and take care of them as the greatest treasure. And you, lucy heartfilia, are a great friend, it's been a long time since I spoke personally with such a good celestial magician, just take care of him- she said to disappear, letting all the stars in the sky return to their original position. Letting time flow back to a normal rhythm in the galaxy

Lucy saw how Leo's mouth was open in shock, it seemed that now he was trying to understand everything. So she helped him up -I told you I'd save you-

-lucy…thank you- the spirit thanks her, putting her hand on her shoulder. With this, he would be in debt for the rest of eternity.

In that, Leo began to disappear, becoming transparent. But somehow it was different, now he just went home

-You're welcome, rest and celebrate with your friends, you deserve it after 3 years of suffering. Just please, show up when I call you, I need help in a few minutes to explain this to others- she said goodbye, ending with a giggle

-Rest assured...they must be hysterical with that farewell letter I sent- he scratched his head nervously. to disappear


10 minutes later

Beat already in base state, he was looking at the rising sun. After having returned from the celestial world an instant before Loke appeared -this was a good adventure, I suppose that in this magical world there are also very powerful beings, even if they cannot have such power in this dimension-

And in its tranquility, a large portal appeared, from which a lot of confetti and streamers came out. In addition to the king who brought a body full of these, along with a party hat and a plate with a slice of cake, with the size of a full one -in effect. You were a strong opponent, the best fight I have ever seen and the second most powerful being I have ever faced. The heavenly world is having a party thanks to you, although I wish you had stayed, I couldn't bring anything anyway, after that 15-hour party- he offered her that slice

Beat took it and locked it in a ki bubble so it wouldn't be destroyed when it flew away -wow, it seems they had fun there...wait, the second one?- the latter intrigued beat, it meant that he had met someone more powerful than him with the kaioken by 10 -(who could it be, even in base state I'm already more powerful than the first goku ssj, who beat frieza in his original form in namek, who with his first transformation already had the universe at your feet….-

The ruler of another dimension became somewhat tense at that question, remembering the fear that he and EVERYONE had that day -yes, on one occasion, thousands of years ago, the god of destruction visited us, bills, we were able to attend to him in the way we expected. satisfying enough that it doesn't permanently destroy us along with our world- I could still visualize the pressure his presence exerted, his confidence and threats, how he might be able to destroy the world for a simple pudding. And his, in fact, nice assistant

-then… bills if it exists- beat held his chin, this information could be useful in the future, then it will reinforce his searches in the divine layer

-Actually, maybe I should have mentioned it before. As someone who comes beyond what you call the multiverse- he said somewhat embarrassed, revealing how he had watched him at various times in his life, at least while loke was somewhere nearby

-...how long have you been watching loke?...- this made a shiver run down his back, now he didn't like the idea that that old man will watch him at all times

-I have been watching over him almost 24/7, praying to the supreme kaioshins because they find a way to save him- confessed the king, who at all times wanted them to find a way to give him energy and that he can continue with his life normally

Beat closed his eyes for a second and smiled, this scared and happy, each in parallel -It's creepy and a great invasion of privacy, especially when you also watch the entire guild. But at the same time, you talk too much about your concern for your subjects, king-

The king was flattered, but after everything that had happened, he didn't consider that kind of formalities necessary -please don't call me that, definitely after this I consider you a friend. tell me taiyo-

-Unoriginal, but well…wait, that means that if all the celestial spirits are the physical representation of the abstractions created by humans about the stars. Then you are…!-Beat he said, quickly turning in amazement to the star that now came out at dawn

-Indeed- he raised his thumb to indicate that he was right, he was the same representation of the sun, which reigned over the constellations

-well, then you're already leaving- beat smiled when he saw the sun, although he hoped it wasn't like with apollo, and that he sees everything that is under its light

-Yes, sometimes I feel embarrassed, as my brightness overshadows my companions for more than half the time. But I'm glad to represent the one who gives light and warmth to humanity- taiyo said comforting himself, it was something that his own subjects had done to him a long time ago, words said by the same loke

-it looks good on you, after all you do it with the rest of the stars, you're a good guy- said the saiyan winking at him

-Thank you. I'm leaving, won't you go with the others? Surely they won't take long to celebrate- he said opening the portal behind him, there he could see amused how they had already reached the point of the party where everyone was asleep, either due to fatigue or drinking too much

-nah, I'll wait a while, I already thought of an excuse why I didn't show up all night and didn't help in the search, I'll arrive just when everything has calmed down, I'll say it and go to sleep, you should know why I won't say anything , after all you must have heard what I promised. I haven't slept domo in two days inside your dimension- beat gave a tired yawn, which could be resisted by the king

-I understand well. I say goodbye, I will be eternally grateful to you, maybe one day you could stop by to have a little revenge using all your power. And I hope that this little tidbit has served you well, I am retiring- and thus, the 20-meter giant went to a place beyond the conceptual limits of space-time

"Well… I think I should have told him to change into another set of destroyed clothes, damn, I'm sleepy" he sighed as he began to fly to his house to change


An hour later

After loke and lucy explained the situation to makarov, he immediately stopped all searches that had already been extended to every city they knew loke frequented.

Impressed happy shouted, who had lost everything since lucy met loke, after recovering from overexertion -what!?, a celestial spirit?-

-Are you a celestial spirit, loke? - Natsu also looked curious, observing the orange-haired man from different angles, not finding anything strange

-Yes, that's right- he said somewhat embarrassed -and lucy managed to convince the king of the celestial spirits-

"I hadn't noticed at all," Gray said, trying to remember if there were any clues he could have taken. That they didn't just have meaning in hindsight

-but you are not a cow, a fish or a crab- natsu pointed out, each spirit he had seen had the expected traits of a being that represents his constellation

-you know virgo natsu, she has human form- he reminded her that she was just a little weird inside. More than anything because of his evident masochism

In that natsu remembered the appearance she had when they met her, and she had that appearance due to the eccentric tastes of a guy -yes, but she can become a gorilla-

-oh, true- in that he was right, that form had always been more popular for those who used it as bodyguards

-he is the spirit of the lion natsu- lucy mentioned to him, deep down she wondered if she could show more traits of this species as her companions

"Lion!?" This moved Natsu, and of course, those giant cats with a mane similar to the sun. In concept, cooler than most spirits you've seen

-an adult cat!- said happy somewhat cheerful, one day i will kidnap loke and they gagged him in lucy's basement to talk about fish

"It's not!" Lucy said, already imagining what Happy was planning.

-great….- at this point happy was already hugging him by the neck

-And do you feel good?- Gray spoke with some concern, he doesn't know that time passes faster there. But it must also be very little to heal the damage that loke had over 3 years

-I'm not 100%. But I thought she should stop by to say hi, and help Lucy explain everything- honestly, she felt like she hadn't slept well all night. At least she wasn't dying anymore

-He likesssss!- Happy didn't miss his chance to approach Lucy's ear, and hiss this in her ear

-Stop talking or I'll cut out your tongue!- This bothered Lucy a bit, so she had no choice but to threaten the cat, although she knew it wouldn't have much effect

In that someone descended from the sky, he was beat with all his clothes destroyed, and he brought a chair, I mean, a cake enclosed in a bubble

-Hello!- he greeted happily, perfectly pretending as if he didn't know anything about the situation that occurred on earth

-oh, hello beat….where were you!, we didn't find you all night, you could have helped us a lot to find loke- natsu claimed annoyed, half the guild had dark circles under their eyes because of this, and someone who could feel the ki across the planet and beyond, would have been helpful

-sorry for not being able to help….whatever happened, I was off the planet looking for something useful, but in the end I ended up saving a planet from an ancient corrupted god of infinite power called hildegarn, I had to use the super saiyan phase 3, and well, I kept some cake from the party, I don't know what it tastes like but it looks blue... so maybe it's blackberry? - beat said shrugging his arms as if it were nothing, making an excuse to, by the way explain why you are tired

As he arrived, loke couldn't help but look at the cake with intrigue, in the end his excuse didn't work at all

-ok...- this worked so that gray didn't ask anymore. He liked these stories, but honestly it was not the time, it was hard to believe how he faced an alternate version of himself that was a dragon slayer, and in the process they destroyed a false universe

-because your craziest adventures are solo!, next time take me- natsu demanded. He also wanted the next one, to have an adventure that includes galactic conquerors or something like that

-before that I would prefer to train with you as soon as I can, I haven't slept all night and I assume you haven't either- said beat, getting plot for chapter between saga

-okay, consider it done!- natsu accepted without problems

While they both talked, loke took lucy and carried her as a princess, taking her to another place not far away, where he sat her down -so, let's talk about the future, you and me- while this was happening, lucy screamed for me to release him

-Heavens, I'm jealous! I would like to have a heavenly spirit- Natsu thought if he could just go to a store to buy even a silver spirit, it could be fun, although he will surely end up giving himself to Lucy. She would be better to take care of him permanently

-What kind of spirit? - Happy asked curiously, he would like Aquarius or Loke

-A dragon, of course! Then I could really test my dragon slayer magic- Natsu said lighting his hand, and shooting a big ball of fire to the sky with emotion. Accidentally dispersing the clouds

-Spirits are not things you invoke to test your strength!- Lucy said somewhat offended, she thought they were to make friends

-Depends on the spirit. but we are better at spinning love stories! - said the spirit, while jokingly putting his hand around the shoulder

"You haven't fully recovered yet, have you?" Lucy said sweating at this action, taking out the key to return him to his dimension.

-No, but just give me a second. Here!, tickets for a hotel complex, I did a mission that gave these as a reward, I thought to use it as a last vacation before I died, but the phantom lord thing happened and I couldn't do it, in the end they gave me a few more and well , have, so that all of you go together. I still have two left so don't worry, and I already gave hers to erza, they really HELPED me a lot- he extended about three tickets, with several letters that were not visible because his hand covered them

-...wait, it's only three- beat sudo, thinking that there wouldn't be one for him and happy, and probably neither for erza

-they are tickets from a slightly more expensive package, the idea is that you and Happy enter with child tickets, just show them these tickets and they will give them to you for free-

-ok….- beat sighed. He hoped they didn't restrict his access to everything, he remembered how they almost never let him into the good games because of his height. That I already noticed, berserk or both made him enter anyway was something else

"I've never been in such a luxurious hotel!" Gray said impressed, this had the potential to be an unforgettable experience. And boy would it be

And while they began to talk about some things they would do on the trip, Erza approached with her iconic gigantic luggage cart-what are they doing standing there? Do they want me to leave them behind?-

-how fast!- gray and lucy said with their mouths open in shock, especially lucy who didn't even remember when loke gave them to them

"Yes, I'll go this way!" Natsu yelled, not wanting to waste so much time, just pack some money and his toothbrush.

-Me too!- said happy, who also hurt with the same outfit... maybe he actually had an invisible suit created with spider web

-idiot, I also have to pack a little, so wait- gray complained. This would take hours

-lucy…- while the others were arguing, loke approached the celestial mage -it's not as if my sins had disappeared, but you gave me the will to move on. Thank you, where I was a fairy tail member before, now I am also a heavenly spirit again. He appears whenever you're in trouble, think of me as your knight in white armor- and without anyone noticing, I subtly turned to see the boy -(and thanks to you beat... right now I'll question the king, although I guess you never broke the deal)-

-I'm not your owner, I'm your friend, right?- she chuckled when she understood how, it probably wasn't the first time she used that comparison -damn, I think now you would stop your courtships

-no, I did it for almost 3 years, I think it will stay for a while, maybe the rest of eternity- he said while now he disappeared, returning to his world for a long time -and, from now on I'll be here for you-

-heh, you have no choice, the same goes for you, loke- lucy smiled, knowing that now it was also her responsibility to be a better celestial mage. After seeing the consequences of treating them badly

Erza was just making sure to bring everything, sunscreen, swimsuit, inflatable shark, shark repellent bat, money, etc. -Lucy, hurry up, I gave the boys a maximum of half an hour to pack and go to the train station, the same goes for you- she said when she saw how she wasn't thinking about what to bring

Meanwhile, Lucy was still on her own after such an experience. Before his call he couldn't do anything but give a little speech about how he felt -hey erza….yes…if someone from the guild dies or is injured because of me, I think he would suffer a lot just like loke, I think it's fine, because if we all work together, we can overcome any problem that we face, right?

This surprised Erza a bit, but she had enough context to know what he meant. And she felt proud for Lucy-she couldn't have said it better-

-¡Yes! - happy confirm

-but hurry up- erza said frowning, if you didn't hurry up, I'd leave you behind

-Let's party all day and night non-stop!- Natsu was excited, he was already thinking about eating non-stop, making sand castles on the beach, and gigantic games which could only be seen in a magical world, like a complex luxury hotelier with access to magic

-It's a favor from Loke, so we're going to have a lot of fun!- Lucy said this while looking grstfully at the golden key. After spending such a stressful night, it would be nice to go to the spa

-Aye sir!- Happy was also excited, a hotel by the sea meant a lot of fish

Erza was already impatient and with a shadowed face -but I'm serious... time is running out- everyone got a little chill, and they immediately dispersed to pack. In the meantime she decided better to start heading to the train station


Hello, I'm beat, everything ended well, I thought that after this break I could go explore this universe more, maybe find a bills or a kaioshin, if not, maybe I'll go to the other world to find kaiosama… wait, ¿¡ erza was kidnapped!?, because they did not tell me before, the next chapter of hero fairy will be, the sky tower part 1!. Damn, I haven't said those words in so long.


Well, finally chapter 15. At this rate it will last a decade longer than expected, I genuinely hope to be able to finish the arc before the end of the year
