Hello, my fellow fairy tail fans; I'm back with the next chapter in my story. A quick note soon, I will have to stop with daily updates cause my schedule will be changing, and I don't know when I'll start it up again, so you'll have to bear with me on that. anyway, with that out of the way will start the story
Loke: Last time
Happy: after our victory over Phantom Lord, the guild was forced to disband. serves em right
Lucy: Yeah, and me, Natsu, Gray, and Erza formed a team.
Happy: Hey, you forgot about me
Our story begins west of Magnolia at the fort term, where a group of bandits has made their hideout. Taurus punches a knocking him out, leaving a huge bump on his head. Lucy shouted with glee, giving Taurus a high five "look at you go," Lucy shouted.
"Moo, you got some moooves of your own," Tauras replied
[##invoke magic##]
Natsu slammed one of the members into a wall and let out a sigh "man; these chumps aren't putting up a good fight," he said as he crushed the poor man's skull into the wall early, trying at this point "I could probably do this blindfolded."
"who'd you losers still from anyway," Gray asked as he kicked another one down "old ladies and children," Gray asked as he stepped on someone's face. Tears ran down his eyes as Gray continued to do this.
"don't act so smug; you'll be sorry, just you wait."
"yeah, when the lord Devon finds out, you'll pay"
"We beat up that jerk a long time ago," Happy informed the two as a group of men fell down the stair as a result of Erza.
"I'm finished up here," Erza reported as Lucy gave her a thumbs up; a man broke away and tried to run only for Erza to knock down and step on his but crushing under the weight of her foot "unfortunately, it seems you still haven't learned your lesson," Erza said
Taurus grew hearts in his eyes. "I've been bad too, mistress Erza," the muscle cow shouted as Lucy closed his gate, sending him away, "and away you go," she said before Taurus got her into trouble
outside, Erza let out a sigh. "I'm sorry I thought this job would be a bit more challenging," she admitted
"it's alright," Natsu said " besides, we got take any job we can get" Erza nodded as she looked at the smoldering ruins "still, I wish it were more of a challenge" behind them, Juvia could be seen hiding in the bushies Natsu sniffed the air but passed it off as being a worrywart
"Yeah, me too," Gray admitted
"Look at this awesome gem I found," Happy said
"stealing from thieves is still stealing !" Lucy informed slash shouted at the cat
Happy ignored her and looked around "hey, isn't that Loke" the group looked to see Loke standing in the same path Gray and Natsu went to greet the man who smirked
"Hey guys, what's up," Loke asked
"kicking butt and taking names," Natsu told him, smiling
"as always," Loke laughed until he saw Loke panic broke on his face; he backed up
"I'm glad we ran into you," Lucy said, waving to him. "I wanted to thank you for finding my Keyes."
'N-N-No problem," Loke sputtered before he turned and ran away, "but I gotta go now bye," he shouted, leaving Lucy and the others confused and flabbergasted.
"dam Lucy," Gray said, "what you do to him," he asked the blond "man avoids you like the plague."
"I don't know!" Lucy shouted, "it's not my fault; he's crazy."
miles away, Loke had stopped running. He took a seat and let out a breath of fresh air. He picked up a flower before it withered away and died. A frown formed on his face as he looked away
Fallen Star
the group started at the cults former headquarters a sighed, "guess we should head home," Gray admitted
"actually," Lucy said, "what do say we take it easy," Lucy asked as Natsu gave her a look "we'll for the past week we've been fighting and working our tails of, maybe we need a break," Lucy told him
"Now Lucy," Lucy swallowed a lump in her throat as she turned to face Erza, "that's a wonderful idea" the whole group let a sigh of relief "we can go to this resort that's on the way back to town."
The group had stopped at the spa town Hosenka a popular resort in Magnolia; this shady, if not dodgy tourist attraction, was designed by a duke and his fascination with the orient and its architecture. Lucy sat in hot water, her hair down; she starred at the wall, "why is Loke so afraid of me," she wondered aloud.
"this so relaxing," Erza called, pulling Lucy out of her thought. Lucy turned to find Erza still had her armor shocking her "you still have your armor on," Lucy asked as Erza nodded her head. "I'm more relaxed with it on."
"but doesn't it feel clanky" Lucy asked
"I guess," Erza pondered, "maybe I need to redefine my terms of relaxing" Erza changed out took off her armor, getting a reaction from Lucy.
"wow," Lucy muttered, "you look great."
"really," Erza said, a grin forming on her face, "maybe I should walk around like this from now on" Lucy looked at Erza, her eyes nearly bulging out of her head "that was a joke," Erza told her, causing the blond to sigh in relief.
"not funny, Erza," Lucy stated
Later Natsu but in the room, they stayed at with an extreme look of excitement on his face, "let's party," he shouted.
"party," Gray asked, sitting up. "I'm trying to sleep, so take your party outside."
"come on," Natsu moaned "you need to bust out your pillow, fu," he said, smiling, "unless your scarred," Natsu said.
"hmp," Erza said, walking in with Lucy, "my arsenal is equipped with the most powerful pillows," Erza told him.
[##Lucy Ganbaru ost.##]
"most powerful," Lucy said, trying to imagine that as Natsu got ready, he threw a pillow at Erza, who jumped out the was hitting Gray square in the face. "All alright then," he looked to his side in smiled. Somehow he had extra pillows "look at all these pillows."
outside, Juvia stood in a bush, a light blush appearing on her face "don' worry, my prince," she thought to herself. "Juvia is here for you."
Gray threw a pillow at Natsu, knocking him down; he turned to Erza, and a smirk grew on his face"your nxt Erza," he shouted, throwing a pillow she caught it with ease before Gray could grab another pillow; he was hit in the face by Lucy.
"I'm winning this thing, sorry," Lucy said before Erza knocked her down with another Pillow. "I'm all fired up," Natsu shouted as the group began what will forever be known as the pillow war. Later that night, Lucy stirred from her sleep, her head hurting; she rubbed her eyes, looking around the place was a mess; pillows were everywhere. Lucy let out a laugh at her friends' antics though she couldn't sleep; her mind still on Loke getting u and summoning Plue, she decided to go for a walk.
"I just don't get it," Lucy said "why is Loke so scared of me" Lucy wondered, "does it have to do with my celestial magic" Lucy wondered
"who knows," Plue said
"right," Lucy admitted until she looked down "what!" Lucy asked in pure shock "you can talk" Lucy asked
"Aye," Plue said as Lucy looked down, a look of anger forming on her face
in the bushes; Happy was trying his best not to laugh s Lucy looked around
"Alright, you little blue fur-ball, get out," Lucy told him
"Aww," Happy said, coming out of the bushes, "I thought I could keep it up for at least a week, seeing as you dumb," Happy said, getting a groan from Lucy. The blue cat came out of the bushes and smiled "why are you out here, Lucy" Happy asked
"Couldn't sleep," Lucy admitted, "a lot been on my mind."
"OH," Happy said
"well, aren't you cute" a voice called out. The trio turned to see a pair of add looking individuals; one seemed to have a second head, and the other was doing weird poses "what do you say? We have a good time, yo."
"um," Lucy said, scooting back, "sorry I'm here with my friends," she said, gesturing to Plue and happy."
"You're hanging out with a cat and a " he looked at Pluue and wondered what he was "well, that's ok, yo." he said, "they can hang too."
"um, I'm not sure," Lucy said as she tried to move, but they grabbed her, 'why can't I move."
"We were going to have a good time."
"Yeah, yo, we are"
before it could escalate any further, Loke appeared and knocked the two down. Lucy opened her eyes to see Loke standing over the two men h looked back and jumped into the bamboo shoot "sorry," he said, getting a confused look from Lucy,
he came out and looked down "there was a bounty on these two men," Loke told her, "they've been targeting cute girls who were alone," Loke said as he picked the two up "you helped me out, thanks," he said
"wait," Lucy said, "thanks for saving me and getting my keys."
"No, prob," Loke told her as he started to walk away. Lucy stopped him again "hey, why don't we go and grab a bite to eat," Lucy asked, causing Loke to blush at her statement,
"ooh," Happy said, "things are heating up."
Lucy let out a sigh
Later the group was seen at the resorts most popular dinner through the head of the silent chef caught a lot of attention; it was really known for its cuisine "you know," Lucy said as Loke looked towards her, "you don't have to sit over there" she called
"r-right," Loke admitted as he slowly inched closer to Lucy
as Lucy took a sip of her drink. "I've meant to ask," Lucy said, "is it true you have bad luck with celestial wizards," Lucy asked. Loke looked away as Lucy grimaced at him "well, I just wanted to know, I feel bad that your judging based on my magic."
"Sorry," Loke said weakly. "I didn't mean to offend you.
"So want to talk about it," Lucy asked as the chief put music in her face; he then gestured to the music player. Lucy shook her head as the chief deflated. Lucy looked back to Happy and Plue, who were sharing a drink. Letting a sigh, she turned back to Loke.
"look, you're too good for me," Loke said, trying to play it off.
"stop with the old break-up line."
"So," Lucy said, "want to talk about it" Loke didn't reply "sorry, I just" Lucy let out another sigh before standing up "look, things were awkward between us," Lucy said, walking away "thanks for saving me," she said before Loke grabbed her hand.
"Lucy," he said before pulling her into a hug, "I'm sorry, but I don't have that long to live."
"What," Lucy said, stepping back. "Loke, what do you mean" she stopped when Loke started laughing.
"man, you should see your face," he said before Lucy slapped h so hard, there was a mark left on her face; he looked shocked as Lucy had tears welling in her eyes.
"I can't believe you," she said before running off. Loke was about to go after her but stopped 'what am I doing' he thought as he picked up his glasses 'it's too late for me anyway.'
The next day Lucy sat at the stool, a dark aura coming off from her Natsu, and Mira looked at her with worried eyes "what do you think happened" Mira whispered.
"well, Happy told me she was with Loke last night," Natsu told her, "other than that, I don't know."
"really," Mira said, stars shining in her eyes before Natsu stopped her.
"don't even think about Mira," Natsu told her.
"but" Mira was about to talk when a group of girls came up to her; she looked confused as Natsu moved away "you handle this, Mira," Nasu said as he walked up to Lucy, "you ok."
"peachy," Lucy told him.
"wanna talk about it," Natsu asked again.
"Aye," Happy said, walking up to her, "you can always talk to us."
Lucy let out a small laugh. "I'll pass you guys."
Loke watched them from afar 'this is my fault,' Loke said to himself; he looked at his arm as it started to phase out again. "It looks like my time is almost up
back at the bar, Mira was trying to calm all the girls down
"where is Loke."
"what are you doing here."
"is alright; last night, he said he was breaking up with me."
"what's that about" Lucy wondered
"their girl from around town," Nasu told her.
"from the looks of it, they think there Loke's girlfriend," Happy said
"well, um," Mira said as the girls swarmed her. Normally she was all about romance, but she made it her personal mission to stay out of Loke's business when it came to girls, and this was the reason why she couldn't handle all the questions "is he got married" someone asked "well no" Mira said trying to calm them down "um."
"who is it"
"Lucy saves," Mira shouted, causing Lucy to panic as the girls swarmed her "is this the girl."
"she dresses like a tramp."
"Loke's marrying her"
Lucy ran off, leaving behind a very confused Natsu who was slowly walking away from all the girl troubles, not his forte anymore; besides, he was still hung up on other things and had more important things to worry about, like finding dinner.
Later that night, Lucy came out of the Magnolia only public bathhouse; additionally, t restoring fatigue, it restored a wizard's magic energy.
Elfman also walked out "bathhouses are Manley," he said as Lucy sweatdropped
Loke came out from behind her. Lucy looked at him and gave a weak smile "here, try this," he said, "it's great after a fresh bath."
Lucy took the drink and smiled. "Thanks," she said as they stood in awkward silence, Lucy looked up and noticed the sky was shining with stars "wow," Luc said, "their stars are so pretty."
Loke looked up and gave a weak smile "you know," he said, "I feel bad for them," he said, "once they fall, they can never return to heaven, isn't that sad"
Lucy looked at Loke until something clicked in her brain "was that one of your lame pick-up lines" Lucy told him, "can't you go a day without trying to pick up a girl."
Loke smiled. "I know I'm a pain," he said, "but I'm glad I got to talk to you one more time," he said "goodbye," Loke then left, leaving a confused Lucy behind.
Later at the hotel, Lucy was staying at, she decides to find out answers "{open gate of the southern cross: crux}" Lucy shouted as an old-timey looking spirit appeared.
"whose this" Happy asked
"I call him grandpa crux," Lucy told her feline friend "he can tell anything you want to know about celestial spirits, even those who used them in the past," Lucy informed Happy, who nodded. "I need to know something; what celestial wizard was involved with Loke in the past."
Crux grunted as he started searching. His head fell over as a bubble appeared from his nose. "I don't think he heard you, and Lucy," Happy admitted, "oh, he heard me he's searching," Lucy told him.
"huh"
Crux then let out a scream as Happy jumped back. "I have found what you are looking for. However, personal privacy law applies even in the spirit world," Crux said as Lucy nodded. "I can tell Loke was involved with the celestial wizard Karen Lillica."
"really," Lucy asked.
"whose that," Happy asked.
"she was a viral wizard a few years back," Lucy told her. "I have the article of sorcerer weekly that she was featured on," Lucy said, "she was in the blue pegasus guild."
"so she was in a guild," Happy said
"what was their relationship," Lucy said
"Unfortunately, that's all I can say on the matter," Crux said
"Aw, come on," Lucy moaned as Crux titled again. Happy bounced up, "I think he's searching for ya, Lucy."
"No, he's asleep this time," Lucy informed Happy as she thought about then something hit her 'the truth is I don't have that long a time left to live' she remembered Loke saying 'once they fall, they can never return' "no Lucy muttered "it can't be"
suddenly Gray barged into her house. "Lucy, we got a problem," he said out of breath "it's Loke, he said he was leaving town," Gray said, "and Natu and Mira need help finding him"
"wait, why," Lucy said
"something's up," Gray explained "both Natsu and Mira feel it," he told her
a look of shock appeared on her face "maybe I'm right," Lucy said as she got up from her bed and ran off
"wait, Lucy," Gray shouted
Natsu looked around for Loke as Mira ran through the streets. "Loke," they both shouted as the pair looked around
Miles away, Loke was in a small forest. He walked up to a grave and gave a small sigh. "I'm sorry," he muttered
"Loke," a voice called; he turned to see Lucy walking up from behind him, "everyone is looking for you
"I should have known," he said, looking back at the grave, "how'd you find out."
"you forgot I'm a celestial wizard," Lucy told him, placing a hand on her hips. "I have contracts with a tone of spirits; it wasn't too hard to dig up the truth" she looked at him again "the spirit Loke," Lucy said, "no, that's not your name, it's Leo, the lion."
[##fairy tail main them slow ver, ost##]
Loke laughed. "I guess there is no denying it," he said, looking at Lucy.
"Why didn't you talk to me about this," Lucy asked "normally, once a sports key holder dies there forced back to the spirit world," Lucy said "after Karen died, you should be there instead of here," Lucy said, "being in the human world is dangerous for spirits."
"I know," Loke said "it's been three years," he said, having Lucy walk back shocked.
"I didn't think one was possible," Lucy said, "why have you gone back," Lucy asked, "there has to be a way for me to save you."
Loke laughed, "you don't need to save me," Loe told her. "I broke a fundamental law of the spirit world," Loke told her, "one that binds humans and spirits."
"what did you do," Lucy asked.
"I can't deny my crime," Loke admitted. "I'm a traitor to my kind," Loe told Lucy. "I was contracted to Karen, but I killed her"
