Chapter 18 : The Star That Will Never Return to the Sky

In a secret base for a group of gang, west of the town of Magnolia. With smoke emerging from the place.

"Moo!" Taurus hit one of the gang members, knocking him out with a bump in his head.

"Good work! One hit!" Lucy happily said then gave Highfive towards Taurus.

Natsu threw down the head of one of the gang's to the walls, knocking him unconscious.
"These people here are so weak" Natsu stated in a boredom.

"tell me about it!" Gray stepped on the head of one of the gangs.

"You think you can just walk away when you've made us like this?" A gang member said in a tone of pain after he was defeated.

"Master Devon will not stay silent" Said the man next to him.

"We already got over him" Tommy said to the man.

"I've handled over here" Erza said from the top of the stairs.

"As expect from Erza !" Lucy said giving her thumbs up.

"How's your part, Pyrus, Rayna?" Erza looked at Pyrus and Rayna.

"This is too easy." Pyrus said boredly, sitting on the pile of gang members.
"at least ... this does not really a bother" Rayna with a small smile, next to Pyrus she said.

a member of the gang managed to get up and try to escape, but Erza stopped him by kicking his face then stepped on his ass.

"It seems you have not received the punishment yet..." Erza said sadistically, as she stepped on his ass.

"... She a sadistic! ..." Pyrus and Rayna sweatdrop.

"Ohh, Miss Erza! Please Punish me!" Taurus excited as his eyes were heart-shaped. But Lucy closes the gate by force and returns Taurus to the Spirit World. All members in the Headquarters have been defeated by the strongest team in Fairy Tail.

-Later-

The team is already outside from the gang headquarters.

"We done it Faster than what I imagined" Erza stated seeing them.

"What do you expect, even Rayna can beat them all by herself?" Pyrus boredom said as he crossed his arms.

"Not really ... you're too much" Rayna denied it with an awkward smile.

"But I'm not satisfied!" Natsu said in an angry tone.

"That's enough, buddy." Gray said to him. not knowing that there was a blue-haired woman, watching him from behind the Stone.

"Lucy! Look what we found!" Happy said, the cats show the diamonds they hold.

"Hey! Where did you find it!?" Lucy was shocked by what they found.

"Huh? Isn't that Loke?" Alice pointed. Lucy saw him on the dirt road.

they approached Loke and greeted him.

"What a coincidence. Did you do missions around here?" Natsu asked.

"Well, you too?" Loke asked. Pyrus immediately noticed something strange with Loke's body.

"What is this?... His life force is slightly fading away?" Pyrus thought with a sharp look. he then put on his goggles and his guess was right.

As Lucy approaches him, Loke is immediately scared when he see her. Lucy wants to thank him for returning her Gate Keys, but before she says it, Loke runs away with fear and say that he has to finish his mission first.

"What's wrong with him?" Lucy asked irritably.

"What have you done to him?" Gray asked Lucy, as the same woman watched him from behind.

"He's totally scared of you!" Natsu said.

"I didn't do anything!" Lucy said angrily to him.

They looked back at the headquarters they had destroyed. "So, should we go back now?" Gray asked still seeing the headquarters.

"Hey, because we're get the mission done quickly, should we celebrate and rest at the Hot Springs first?" Lucy suggested and they all looked at her.

"Lucy..." Erza said as she closed her eyes in a low tone.

"Yes?..." Lucy asked in a scared voice, whatever she had said the wrong thing, looks like Erza will scold her. Natsu, Gray, Pyrus, and Rayna's face became blue of fear that Erza would get angry at Lucy.

"...That's a good idea" Erza said smiling towards her. Lucy and the others took a sigh of relieved to hear it.

-Later-

They then go to a popular Spa venue in Magnolia, Hasenko. this place is designed by Duke who is influenced by Orient, This place is famous as a tourist place. in one of the hot springs. Lucy, Rayna, and Alice are soak in the hot springs for relaxing. Alice with a small towel over her head is in the arms of Rayna enjoying the hot water.

"By the way, i wonder about Loke doing?" Lucy asked, wondering how he was doing.

"Why do you want to know about him?" Rayna asked near Lucy.

"Because, why does he always stay away from me?" Lucy retorted.

"Not because you fell in love with him" Alice asked to her.

"It's not like that!" Lucy denied that.

"Lucy!" Nymph came suddenly out of the hot water and began to squeeze Lucy's breast, surprising her. "Oh my, Your chest is very soft" Nymph said flirtatiously with a giggles.

"Ah!... Nymph! What are you doing !?" Lucy asked with a red face.

"Nymph... stop that!" Rayna told, Nymph then stopped her actions with a big smile on her face.

"What are you doing here?" Lucy asked.

"Are you supposed to be in the Pocket Dimension?" Rayna asked her.

"Hehe ... Master bring me out of there and Miss Erza invited me!" Nymph said with a smile.

"Where's Erza?" Rayna and Lucy asked "and why are you wearing socks in a hot springs?!" Lucy realized that Nymph was still wearing her black socks.

"Ah... What a lovely moon" Erza's voice came from behind the steam bath. Rayna and Lucy see Erza standing but still wearing her Armor. "And a Beautiful bath too"

"Why are you still wearing armor?!" Lucy yelled surprised to see Erza still wearing her armor.

"I guess I'm feel comfortable with this" Erza replied.

"But is not that a hassle?" Lucy asked as she sweatdroped.

"Actually yes, come to a place like this is for relaxation" Erza stated.

"Your words are as stiff as ever ..." Lucy chuckled. Erza then uses her magical powers, and now she does not wear anything. Rayna is impressed with Erza's figure, she looked at her chest and pouted.

"Woah .. You're so beautiful when you're not wearing anything, Erza" Lucy said admiringly.

"Really? What if I'm walk around in the Guild like this?" Erza asked with a small smile on her face. this question made Lucy and Rayna's face red when they imagined it to happen.

"E-Erza... you must be kidding right?" Rayna asked with a steam out of her head in embarrassment.

"Of course ..." Erza replied, but this made the Nymph look disappointed and said.
"Eeeh ... but I want to see it" with a disappointed face. Then the girls heard a loud footsteps from the man's side.

"Cannon Ball!" A loud splash of water was heard, it came from the certain blue/lilac haired boy who jump in the hot spring.

"Huh?... What's that?" Lucy asked. "Oh... It must be Master Pyrus doing..." Nymph shrugged while playing with water.

"Pyrus... Did you really need to do that?" Gray's voice was heard from the other side. "And why did you bring that in?... "

"Huh?... Pyrus bringing what?..." Lucy asked in curiosity.

"Don't worry, it's just his old habit... " Rayna sighed while sweatdrop, sulking more on the water. "Old habit?... " Erza and Lucy said in confusion.

"What did you mean?... I always bringing this while I'm swimming" Pyrus said from the other side.

"You will disturb the other visitors!" Gray said to him.

"Gray, there's no one here other than us.." Pyrus pointed out.

"He bringing what?... " Lucy then walked closer so she can hear it more clearly.

"A normal person will not bring that thing into the hot springs..." Gray said slightly annoyed.

"That's looks fun, Pyrus!...Can you give one for me too?" Natsu asked excitedly.

"Sure... " Pyrus replied.

"What is it, what is it... " Lucy leaning her ear to the wall that separate the men's bath.

"I told you-Aggh!" Gray cried in pain "...Don't bring Hydro Pump Gun in the hot springs!"

"He bring what!?..." Lucy faceplant to the ground comically, while Rayna sweat drop a this. "I knew this is will happened" Rayna sigh.

"Huh?... Isn't that Lucy's voice?..." Natsu said.

"Did she wants to peeping on us?" Gray said.

"Could be that we're in another world where girls is peeking instead of the boys!?" Pyrus exclaimed.

"No, I don't think so... " Gray deadpan said.

"Then why don't we call her if she is there or not..." Pyrus suggested.

"Hey Lucy!... Don't peeping!" Natsu shouted. "I'm not!... " Lucy yelled in embarrassment.

-then-

In the inn room rented by our protagonists, a certain salmon haired salamander came.
"Here we go!"
"Aye!"
Natsu and Happy say with a smile on their faces while carrying some pillows. Natsu is now wearing a light blue Yukata with a red floral motif. his scarf was hung around his neck.

"What is it? I'm sleepy.." Gray said in a tired voice from inside the Futon. he also wore the same yukata as Natsu.

"Hey, look! We're at the inn! The nights at the hotel are time for Millow Fight!" Natsu exclaimed as he pointed at Gray.

"Did you mean Pillow Fight" Gray correcting him. "And did you already have Water gun war against Pyrus?" Gray said to him.

"All the best pillows in this room is already mine!" Erza came with Lucy, proclaiming with pride.

"You mean?" Lucy with a small smile.

"I will defeat Erza!" Natsu throws his pillow hard towards Erza, but Erza avoids by leaping aside and the pillow is hitting Gray right on his face.

"Natsu, you bastard!" Gray is angry with Natsu, he wakes up from Futon. Then he see many pillows beside him. "Wow, where did these pillows come from?" Gray asked with a happy smile. The pillows were secretly given by Juvia, the woman who followed them here.

Gray threw two pillows hard in turns leading to Natsu. Natsu managed to avoid the first but not for the second. The door of the room opened, Pyrus and Rayna entered the room. accidentally, the pillow that Natsu had successfully avoided hitting Rayna's face, made her fall off the floor.

Pyrus was immediately check whether she is alright. Rayna was crying a little because of the throw.

"Hey, who throw that?!" Pyrus asked in a slightly angry tone. a pillow led to his face and Pyrus easily seized the pillow. he then sees the culprit was Gray. With many pillows nearby, Gray threw the pillow at them again.

But Pyrus did not remain silent when in action. Lucy laughed at their behavior as she rolled up her Yukata arm.

"Okay, maybe now is my turn ..." Lucy tried to take the pillow, but she stopped when she saw Pyrus throwing the pillow toward Gray's face with a bang. Makes Gray sending out from the room and hit the wall, causing a big crack and Gray fainted with the smoke from his face for the throw.

"Umm ... I'd rather not... I'll died" Lucy thinks with sweatdrop, she goes out of from room along with Rayna, Nymph and Alice. While their friends keep murdering each other with a pillow.

-Later-

Lucy and the girls are walking to find a place to rest. Rayna has now stopped crying with Alice and Nymph beside her. Lucy calls Plue to accompany her to walk.

"Are they even really human?" Lucy wondering about Erza and the boys, that they've power more that normal average human.

"it's still a mystery ..." Alice said, walking beside Plue and Plue nodded slowly.

"wait, you, Happy, and Tommy are cats, Plue is a dog ..." Lucy thought about it

"but ... What about you, Nymph?" Lucy looked back at Nymph. She only blinked a few times because of confusion.

"Me?" Nymph pointed to herself and Lucy nodded "I'm a Goddess!" Nymph stated with proudly while her hands on her waist.

"Huh?...A Goddess?" Lucy was speechless by the statement. "That's right!" Nymph nodded "Now bow down to me, Human!" Nymph pointed at her with smile on her face

"But... You're must be kidding, right?" Lucy assure.

"What! you don't believe me?" Nymph rises an eyebrows.

"Then explain about my powerful magic power?" She said to her. Lucy just silent there, didn't have any logical explanation.

"Okay... I give up..." Lucy admitted while looking down.

"Hmhmhm... Well it's actually half true, you can say that I'm one of the fragments of a goddess" Nymph said awkwardly. "Fragments?... " All of them rises an eyebrows.

"Yep!... A long time ago in Andra, there's a goddess who divided her powers into many fragments in order to save the entire world that now known as the Spirit Arms and I was one of them" Nymph explain while Lucy and the others listening carefully.

"Oh yeah, so why are you following us?" Lucy asked the Spirit that she should be near her Master.

"I'm not following you, I'm just following Mistress Rayna, so she didn't get into a trouble..." Nymph answered easily.

"I'm not, please stop treating me like a kid!" Rayna pouted at her, while Lucy laugh a bit at the girl action.

"I'm still confused by the way how the Spirit Arms works" Lucy said to her. Rayna and Nymph look at Lucy and then explain it.

"Umm ... Spirit Arms is almost the same as your Gate Keys, Lucy. the difference is they transform into a weapon used by their Master to fight" Rayna answered the question.

"We used blood to make a contract and then make promises approved by both parties. I'm one of the Spirit Arms who contracted with Pyrus" Nymph explain, Lucy was somewhat taken aback by the words.

"Wait ... so, Pyrus have another Spirit Arms?" Lucy asked him.

"that's right, but I never saw them other than you, Nymph" Rayna pointed out "Big brother never told me the reason"

"Yeah ... Pyrus have 12 Spirit Arms each for all 10 attributes and 6 classes!" Nymph replied. "There's Fire, Water, Wind, Earth, Nature, Metal, Darkness, Light, Demonic, and Divine attribute..." Nymph counted with her fingers.

"So it means he ..." Lucy said "...have more than hundreds of weapons!" Rayna finished what Lucy going to said earlier. Nymph nodded and said "That's true, but ... he left them at Andra in order to get home. Opening the gate that lead to his world take a lot of energy, even when the gate automatically recharge itself, it's still take more than thirty years"

"I became his first Spirit Arms, after he killed my previous owner" Nymph said casually to them, making Lucy and Rayna taken back by those words.

"Big Brother did that!?" Rayna's eyes widened "He... killed your previous owner?" Lucy said sadly "Did you not hold a grudge against him?" Lucy said softly and Nymph shook her head.

"No, I'm grateful to him, my former Master is corrupted by some kind of evil power, and Pyrus kill him to end his misery. I am happy to become his Spirit Arms, because he and my previous owner are the same type of person, who treated us the Spirit as equal as a living being not like some kind of weapons" Nymph starts remembering on the day he meets the boy. Lucy and Rayna just fell silent as they walked.

"Wow... Guess there's many things that we don't know about him" Lucy mumbled then bumped into a solid shadow of a bear. Lucy take a step back while frightened to see the shadow.

"What is that thing?" Lucy asked while she backed away

"Arggh! ... I will eat your soul!" The creature said in a voice familiar to their ears.

"Ou-Our Soul?" Lucy asked in confusion.

"Aye!... now get ready!" The creature nodded, but Lucy realized what its said. Lucy chuckled and said.

"Okay, okay ... stop your joke and get out from there" Lucy faceplam, knowing who's behind this.

"!"Tommy and Happy get out of the bush with dissatisfaction on their faces.

"Ow ... I thought we can fool Lucy for a week" Happy said.

"It's all thanks to you Happy ..." Tommy sighed, he then turned off his Magic and the bear disappear from the existence.

"There seems to be someone has been underestimated" Lucy said somewhat irritably.

"Tommy... Happy... you should not do such a thing, okay?" Rayna scolded them while kneel in front oh them.

"Sorry.." Happy and Tommy apologize. "Then, where are you going?" Happy asked the girls.

"Playing Pillow fight against those guys is not healthy for me" Lucy replied "look at what they did to Rayna earlier "Lucy pointed out. "We're just going for a walk" Lucy answered the question.

"Hey girls!" Two strange men called them from behind. Lucy and the others stared at them. Rayna and Nymph went straight behind Lucy.

"You looks good on Yukata, girls" Said a man who had a black hair that shaking his head to the left and right nonstop. he wore a white shirt, and dark red pants and brown shoes.

"We are from Oshibana! Let's have some fun!" the other man said he had a yellowish brown hair with a bandana and a necklace on his neck and a ring in his finger. he's wearing a black shirt, a jean and black shoes, it looks like he's trying to do a rap.

"It's too weird!"l Lucy yelled at them. "Sorry, but I've been with someone" Lucy stated with an awkward smile. Behind her, Tommy, Happy, Alice, and Plue just kept silent. while Rayna and Nymph are the same.

"Ooh, why do not we invite you all?" The man with the bandana said, looking at the two little girls behind Lucy.

"Sorry." Lucy and the others backed up a bit.

"You are only with your sisters, the cats, and ..." They are both confused to call Plue by what name.

"Come on, this will be fine, have fun with us" The man with the bandana invites her while his friend does not stop wagging his head.

"Come on!" They both forced Lucy.

"They persistent ..." Lucy awkwardly said. "Rayna, Nymph, do something!" Lucy asks the two of them with an uncomfortable sigh.

"Ehh?... What you wanna us to do, Big sister Lucy?" Nymph asked adorably while she and Rayna have a question mark on their heads.

"Big sister, you should be the one who protect us, not the other way around!" Rayna said with fake tears.

"Why are you girls talking like that! You're not my sisters!" Lucy shouted angrily at them.

"Aw, she talks to her sisters Is very cute" One of the men said. The cats and Plue covered their mouth for not bursted to laugh.

Lucy wants to break free, but she can not move her body, apparently the two men are wearing some kind of magic, They both will start to touch Lucy. Rayna notice this Magic then she wants to take a action.

Before she could do anything, Loke appear out of nowhere then he punch the one who shaking his head nonstop. "W-What..!" The other guy shocked that his friend was beaten. Loke turn around and kick the man at his face, making him unconscious while on the ground.

"Wow!... " The cats and Plue stared with an awe, seeing Loke beat those guys with no problem. Lucy looking at him then Loke asked "Are you hurt?" Loke turn face her.

"Loke.." Lucy exclaimed, Loke then suddenly hiding behind the bamboo poles while saying "I'm sorry... " with small tone.

"What for?" Lucy asked while shouted in confusion.

They begin to tie those guys, while the one who shaking his head is still doing it even though that he's already unconscious.

"They're both after the girls here, they're dark mage that I trying to catch" Loke explained to them.

"I'll take them, if you allow me" Loke said and started dragging the two criminals away from this place.

"Wait!" Lucy called him, and Loke turned to look at her. "Thank you for helping us" Lucy said "And also have found my keys"

"No need to mentioned it" Loke said casually.

"So, why don't we go somewhere else?" Lucy invites Loke.

"Is this a date!" Happy exclaims with his eyes changing shape into heart.

"She's really gonna do it!" Tommy exclaimed. while Rayna covered her red face.

"That's not what I mean!" Lucy told them.

-Then-

Lucy leads them to the 'Super Express' restaurant. this is the second popular place in Hosenka city. the owner is a man who has a tall forehead that makes Rayna and and others are astonished.

"So ... why are we sitting this far apart?" Lucy asked, with her sitting at the end of the counter while Loke was on the other end.

"Sorry." Loke caught on, and the chef nodded slowly, Lucy then sit close to him in a death silent. Rayna and Nymph can only sweatdrop see them, they both sit at a table just behind Lucy, Nymph is now eating some sushi and Pizza along with the cats and Plue.

Lucy then asks Loke why he is afraid of the Celestial Spirit mage. and said she was not what Loke was afraid of. Loke says he already knows and apologizes about that. in the end Loke did not say why he was afraid of the Celestial Spirit mage. Lucy also thanks again and says that they only just friends, when Lucy wanted to return to her inn. Loke held her hand and then hugged Lucy tightly, making Lucy startled.

Rayna's face flushed to see what they were doing and Nymph just grinned. the atmosphere began to become sad. Loke then said that he can not live any longer and soon he will disappear. making the girls widened their eyes.

Loke let go of his hug and Lucy asks what he meant. Loke turned away from her eyes, before finally laughing at Lucy's attention and say that just only a joke .Lucy slaps him for making her worried. Loke's glasses slipped off and fell on the floor from the slap.

"I ... I hate your joke!" Lucy angrily to him with a little shed tears. "Let's go! Guys!" Lucy drags Happy and Plue's tail, they both fall asleep because they eat too much.

"Ah... Wait for us, Lucy!" Rayna, carrying Tommy and Alice in her arms. She followed Lucy out of the place.

"You ... are really serious right?" Nymph asked Loke with a sharp look. "You're really gonna disappear ..."

Loke took his glasses and said. "Right, you're also a Spirit ..." Loke put his glasses while looking on Nymph. "That's why that you know that I gonna disappear..."

"You know that Lucy is really care about the Celestial Spirit. If she found out about it, it will make her really sad" Nymph pointed out,

"I know..." Loke said as he stared at the ground.

"Then why ... why did you want Lucy to know that?" Nymph said in a serious tone.
Loke is shocked by the saying "I do not know." Loke holds his head "Why I want her to know ..." Loke said sadly.

Nymph sighed and crossed her arms. "Should you think about your actions ... do you really want to disappear..." Nymph left her seat. Nymph then uses her teleportation magic and leaves, Loke sighed and looked toward the ceiling, he thought about the thing before.

-Later-

The next day, they all returned to Fairy Tail. Natsu, Gray, and Pyrus glared at each other, while the three of them bandaged in some parts of their bodies, while Pyrus just only in the nose.

"What's wrong with them?" Elfman asked, looking at the three of them.

"They said that they were injured after playing Pillow Fights last night" Mirajane replied with a smile on her face.

"How can they get injured just because of playing Pillow Fights?" Elfman wondering at them.

"And what did you get after Pillow Fights?" Gray said to them angrily.

"I get 100% hit ratio" Natsu replied angrily.

"I'm taken damage less than you are!" Pyrus joined them.

"Then you're the loser!" Gray said.

"Huh? No! You're the loser!" Natsu and Pyrus said to the striping young man.

"Lucy, I'm the winner, right?" They all asked Lucy angrily.

Lucy turned to look at them with a horrible gaze while saying "Shut up .." with a flat tone."EEEEEEEHH!.." They were surprised by it.
"Forgive us" they saw the death glare as Lucy looked at them.

"Amazing ... It turns out there someone besides Erza who can stop them..." Mira said with a little surprise.

"a real man." Elfman muttered.

Natsu and Gray went away feeling sorry.
Lucy goes on her lunch until Happy and Tommy come to her.

"Lucy, it looks like you're upset" Happy said.

"Nope ... I'm fine" Lucy said to him. and put the food into her mouth.

"Are you still upset because we're fooling you?" Tommy asked.

"No, I will not be angry about that!" Lucy sighed "I'm sorry ... I was just thinking about something" Lucy said in a weary tone.

"Thinking about what?" Pyrus asked from behind her. Rayna and Nymph are also beside him "no ... nothing ..." Lucy assure. shook his head.

"You can tell us..." Rayna told her with Pyrus nodding.

"No, but thanks" Lucy said with a smile.

unknown to them, Loke watched them from behind the board. he then sees his hand started to disappear.

"In that case. . . "
Rayna started saying "Want to come to our house? I making a cake and I have a lot of good books to read" Rayna said with a smile.

"Really? ..." Lucy raised an eyebrow. and Rayna nodded.

"That's right, and I've also got the latest volume from Lux Sol..." Rayna exclaimed with a smile, Pyrus just smiled at his sister trying to cheer Lucy up.

"Wow ... amazing .. Okay, I'll come tonight!" Lucy said cheerfully.

"Can I join you?" Happy asked the Astoria siblings "of course you can..." Pyrus nodded at the blue cat. Then four girls came to the guild and asked Mirajane for Loke's whereabouts.

"Who are they?" Lucy asked to see them.
"They're from the town, I think they're Loke's girlfriends" Happy said.

the girls say that Loke suddenly decided to break up with them last night, they all feel sad. Mirajane did not know what to say to them.

"Did he find 'her' !?" asked one of the girls. Mira was about to answer.

"Who is that? Is she one of the girls in the Guilds?" Asked one of the girls, interrupting Mirajane's words.

"Lucy, help me!" Mirajane surrender while raised her hands and pass it to Lucy. All Loke's former girlfriends glared at Lucy while saying that she could be Loke's new girlfriend. "Don't pass it to me, Mira!" Lucy ran from the guild. leaving Pyrus and the others.

-Later-

It's late, the stars are scattered in the beautiful night sky, and now we focus on Magnolia's public baths. The place is formed like a Japanese public baths.

Right now, Lucy comes out of the place after she's done, she now wearing red tank top, green tight skirt and green boots with her hair tied to side ponytail by a green ribbon. Loke then emerges from behind her and invites her to chat near the public baths. Loke then gave her a bottle of grapes flavored Milk.

Loke says he wants to drink it with Lucy. After drinking it and saying that the milk tastes very good. Lucy saw Loke's face lit by streetlights, making her face somewhat embarrassed. Lucy immediately changed the subject. by asking about Stars. a falling star was seen in the beautiful night sky, then Lucy thinks how if a Star falls on Fairy Tail.

Loke also asks what she understands about Stars who cannot go back to the sky. Lucy also thinks that this is one way Loke pulls the girl again, and says that it will not fool her anymore.

Loke laughed at being caught. Loke then says that he is happy to have a chat with Lucy again. And then Loke leaves her, making her confused by what he means.

-Later-

Lucy is now walking towards the home of Astroia siblings, she has promised Rayna that she is coming. But Loke's words were still in her head.

When she got to their house, Lucy knocked on the door several times until finally there was a voice from inside. The door finally opened by Rayna with a smile on her face.

"Lucy! You finally came!" Rayna greeted her with a smile, she now wears a plain black dress with short yellow pants. with her hair tied up in a ponytail. Rayna then back to the kitchen.

"Good Evening, you guys." Lucy went into their house, she looked around the living room that bigger than her room.

"This is my first time entering your home ..." Lucy said with a smile, she sat down on the sofa. Happy already in the house while talking with Tommy and Alice.

Lucy also sees some bookshelves that showcases the titles of books she has not seen yet and even languages that she never seen before.

"Please enjoy ..." Rayna brought a large plate of chocolate cake from the kitchen and put it on the coffee table.

"Wow... you make this?" Lucy asked as she took one slice of cake and ate it.

"How is it?... is it delicious?" Rayna asked. and Lucy nods that makes Rayna happy.

"By the way, where's Pyrus?" Lucy asked, seeing the boy was not here.

"Oh ... he's on business, so it just me Tommy and Alice who keep the house" Rayna said. Lucy also understand why Rayna invited her to their home, she was feeling lonely, watching over the house with two cats that she cannot dependent on is little dangerous.

"How rude!" Tommy and Alice glared at yours truly.
(Sorry guys ʘ‿ʘ)

Lucy still eats the cake, but she still thinks about what Loke said. Rayna noticed this and then asks "Lucy? Are you okay..?" Asked the lilac-haired girl to the blond girl.

"I just thought about what Loke said ..." Lucy. replied.

"Him again?" Alice said, the cats approached them.

"You're too attached with him" Tommy declared.

"That's not it ... I just thought to find out his problem with Celestial Spirit mage" Lucy said to the cats, they all looked at Lucy.

"Time for an investigation!" Lucy stated. She then took one of her Gate Keys.

"Open! Gate of the Southern Cross! Crux!"
She summon a crosses-like being. His head beholds a giant, metal cross with floral-like golden patterns. He also has a white-haired mustache sprouting from his nostrils that also appears like tiny crosses. He seems to be wearing a medieval-like outfit, complete with green pants and wooden pointed shoes. His arms and legs are skinny, and appear to be tanned orange. On his arms are blue-colored knobs attached to his wrists and elbows.

Crux was now floating in the center of the room. all the cats and Rayna has amazed by his appearance.

"Ooh ... So this Crux is an old grandpa!" Happy pointed out.

"Yes! The nickname is Crumudgeon!" Lucy told them.

"What will he do?" Rayna asked, sitting next to Lucy.

"I know It's impossible, but I have a request. Can you use your power to see which Celestial Wizard is in Loke's past?" Lucy asked Crux.

Crux was just silent, looks like he was thinking before finally there snot that came out of his nose.

"He's asleep, Lucy!" Happy tells her.

"Why is he sleeping !?" Tommy asks Lucy.
"Do not worry, it's a sign he's thinking" Lucy answered them both.

"Like that, did you say he's thinking?" Alice stared at Crux as he begin to snores. "You're lying! He's really asleep!" Happy said.

"Curmudgeon is a Celestial Spirit who loves to learn, he knows everything about the gates that are connected between the world of spirits and the human world, he also knows about Celestial Mage doing with his spirits in the past" Lucy tells them.

"Even so... it seems that he-" Rayna's words were cut when Crux suddenly opened his eyes while shouting and scared the hell out of them all except Lucy. they were all now hugging Lucy in shock at the scream.

"Did you find anything?" Asked Lucy, who was the only one who was not surprised.

Crux nodded and said "I cannot explain in detail about the private information that has been protected by the world of the spirits. The Wizard who had been in contact with Loke were Karen Lilica "

Lucy immediately recognizes who is this Karen Lilica.
"Do you know her, Lucy?" Rayna asked and Lucy nodded.

"She is famous, very beautiful mage, and She modeled in Sorcerer magazine, but a few years ago, she died while on a mission" Lucy answered her question.

"So she's a wizard from a Guild" Happy pointed out.

"Yes, if not mistaken, she's from Blue Pegasus" Lucy told them.

"So ... what's the relationship between Loke and Karen?" Lucy asked Crux.

"Sorry but that's all I know" Crux told her.

"Wait!" Lucy about to asked again, but Crux went back to sleep.

"Aah ... he's thinking again!" Happy pointed out while the twin nodded.

"No, he's asleep this time." Lucy said she noticed Crux.
"EEEEHHHHH!" The cats yelled.

Lucy thinks about Loke's relationship with Karen. She then realized what Loke said.

While in Crux's mind, he did not say anything in front of the lilac-haired girl "It seems to be true what the others are saying, She could be one of the..." Crux said in his head.

It was at the same time Pyrus came into his house in a hurry.

"Guys! We're in trouble! Loke will leaving Fairy Tail!" Pyrus said and it surprised them.

"What!?" Rayna and the cats asked in surprise. "Why?" Lucy asked the boy.

"We don't know! Everyone is looking for him" Pyrus said.

Lucy thought about where Loke might be and then she went straight there.

Fairy Tail members are still searching for Loke throughout Magnolia city. Natsu is now shouting Loke's name on the top of the building. Erza looked for him near the bridge and so did Elfman, Gray, and Mira.

"Loke, are you there!?" Pyrus looked in the garbage bin, making Rayna and the others sweatdrop.

-Meanwhile-

Loke is now on front of the Karen's Grave, located at the end of a cliff close to a waterfall. Loke just stared at the grave until Lucy called him from behind.

"Everyone is looking for you" Lucy said, Loke just stared with a sad look.
"Its Karen's grave, isn't it?" Lucy pointed out, making Loke startled that she knew it.

"Celestial Mage, Karen... Your Owner... Celestial Spirit, Loke ... is not your real name, is ... Leo the Lion" Lucy said to him.

"Apparently you already know if I'm a spirit" Loke said to her.

Lucy puts one of her hand on her hip and says "Of course, I'm a Celestial Mage who has contracted with various spirits, and finally I know who you really are, but I should have told you earlier, didn't i?" Lucy then explains that where the contract owner dies, then their contract will be canceled. Then the Spirit will return to the Spirit world and wait for a new owner of the contract to arrive.

"Karen died, so your contract should be over, but you're still in the human world You can not go back for some reason, right?" Lucy said while Loke only listening her with his eyes closed.

"As a human being who can't live in the spirit world, spirits can not live together in the human world either, the power of your Spirit will continue to decrease and eventually you will also have the same fate" Lucy said, Loke opened his eyes and said "It's been three years"

"Thr-Three years... you've been live that long?!" Lucy was shocked by the statement.

"I don't have much power anymore" Loke said turning away from Lucy.

"Maybe I can do something for you! Explain to me why you can not come back! I'll open the gate for you!" Lucy said to him.

"I don't need your help" Loke said without looking at her.

"What did you say? With this kind of circumstance you will die!" Lucy told him. Loke stared at Karen's grave.

"The reason I can not go back is so easy, I've broken the rules between the owner and the spirit, and that's why I was expelled from the spirit world forever" Loke said, closing his eyes.

"Expelled ... forever?" Lucy bewildered with the words.

"This is my fault, I can accept my death" Loke then facing Lucy, he looked at his hand. "As a Spirit, I am a traitor, my owner is Karen, with my own hands ... I have killed her" Loke said that greatly shocking Lucy.

"You kill... Your owner?" Lucy said in a shock and Loke nodded. "A Spirit who kill its owner, can't return to the Spirit World anymore"

"Its was three years ago... " Loke then tell her the story. Apparently that Karen treating the Spirit as a tool, She treats Aries the Lamb with a wrong way. Bob the Master of Blue Pegasus says if she continues to treat her spirit the wrong way, it will haunt her. Then Karen continue torturing Aries, and Loke as the Zodiac leader, not accepting her actions and punishing Karen for torture Aries. he then remains in the human world until Karen released the contract with him and Aries. Since Loke remained in the human world, Karen could not summon other spirits because her magical powers were not strong enough. A few weeks later, Karen apologizes to Loke, but he knows Karen is lying. Karen was angry and kicked Loke a few times. Then after three months of living in the human world, Loke already used to live in the human world. he thought of ending the sentence for Karen, saying if he could come again if Karen still treats Aries like that. However, Bob comes and tells Loke, that Karen dies while on a mission. Karen takes a mission without Bob's knowledge and loses her life for trying to summon two spirits at once, because she is not strong enough to do that, she eventually dies. Loke just wants Karen to understand that the spirit also has feelings, he's regretting for his actions.

Loke also said that if disappearing is a way to pay his mistakes, Loke's body is not strong anymore, he began to disappear. Loke thanks to Lucy for showing the true Celestial mage, Lucy who does not accept Loke will vanish. Lucy says that if Loke returns to Spirit World, his life will be saved, she tries to help him by opening Loke's gate, but Loke telling to stop but, Lucy does it and says that she does not want her friend to disappear before her eyes. Lucy drew a lot of magical powers and kept trying to opening Loke's gate. Loke also says that it's useless and tells Lucy to stop but Lucy will not stop.

She says for what use of power if it can not protect her friends. Loke says it is a rule if spirits can not come back if they kill the owner. Lucy also says if that's the rule then she'll change it.

Then something happens, the world stops. a light hole formed in the night sky. The stars seemed to spin and then all the water in the waterfall was sucked into the hole.

Then form a large figure, When the figure is finished, it looks human in shape, but that's where the similarity ends. The figure had blue skin and a large white mustache on his face. He was wearing an ornate armor made up of a green breastplate and a protective arm and a golden leg protector. But the strangest thing was how his great cloak seemed to billow in the wind, though nothing.

"Th-The... Celestial Spirit King!?" Loke mutters in a shock while he and Lucy hugging each other "Wh-what are you doing here?" They both glance at the one who called the Celestial Spirit King.

"King?...You mean... The ruler of the Celestial Spirit?" Lucy shouted.

-Meanwhile-

In the city of Magnolia, this is happen right before the Celestial Spirit King arrived. The Fairy Tail members still looking for Loke in Magnolia.

"Did you guys find him?!" Erza asked them. Elfman And Mira shake their heads.

"Where did he go?..." Pyrus put a hand on his chin.

"Hey guys!...have you seen Lucy?" Rayna asked them. "I thought she was with you?" Pyrus said to his sister.

But suddenly, the world stopped, the Fairy Tail members stopped moving even the cats, its seems even the objects and the wind stopped moving. Pyrus and Rayna's gem necklace is glowing and only the two of them can move.

"What's happen? ... the Star Gem suddenly glowing?" Pyrus holds the necklace.
"Everyone! What happened to you?" Rayna said to her frozen friends along with the world. the siblings were widened their eyes.

"What is this!? ... this great power?" Pyrus looked toward the source of the power coming from.

"Master ... It seems there is Spirit Ruler who came into this world" Nymph pointed out while still in her sword form in the sheat. It seem that she also unaffected by the time freeze.

"Yeah... I know..." Pyrus nodded "I'll check it out. Rayna, you stays here" Pyrus immediately flew toward the source of power.

"Wait Big Brother!" Rayna tried to call him. but Pyrus was gone, leaving her alone with her friends who froze with time.

Pyrus also senses Lucy's presence close to the Source of power and he speeds up his flight.

-With Lucy-

Lucy still staring the large figure in front of her.

"My old friend, we who pledge oaths to humans…we who bear keys, we are forbidden from killing," the Celestial Spirit King said. "Though not directly, you did cause this indirectly Leo. It is forbidden for you to return to the Spirit World."

"Hey! Wait a minute! Don't you think you're being unreasonable!?" Lucy shouted.

"Just…Just give it up Lucy!" Leo said.

"Old friend, that's the one 'rule' I cannot change," the Celestial Spirit King said.

"No way…he must have heard Lucy say 'I'll change the rule!'…That was enough for him to show his face?" Loke thought. "For something so insignificant…the king showed up in person…"

"He's been suffering for three years!" Lucy said. "It was all for his friend! It was for Aries's sake, so it couldn't be helped!"

"What's more, my old friend's wish pains my heart, but…" the Celestial Spirit King said.

"This isn't about an old friend!" Lucy interrupted him. "This is about now! We're talking about a friend right in front of you right now! Please listen, Old Beard Guy! Can't you see this was an unfortunate accident?! I'm telling you, how is Loke at fault here!? I'll never accept him as anything put innocent!" Lucy was now starting to gather a large amount of her magical energy.

"That's enough Lucy! I don't need forgiveness!" Leo shouted. "I want to atone for my sins! Disappearing…into oblivion…is fine…"

"I won't let that happen!" Lucy shouted, as all of her contracted Spirits appeared at her side, looks of determination on their faces. "It's not a sin! Caring about your friend's feelings is not a sin!"

"This many Celestial Spirits…at the same time…" Leo thought in amazement, as all the Spirits then disappeared and Lucy fell to the ground. "Lucy!"

"My friends all feel the same way too," Lucy said. "As a Celestial Spirit, you should understand Loke and Aries's feeling too!"

"You almost bit off more than you could chew!" Leo said, now at Lucy's side. "It may have only been for a brief moment, but you could have died!"

After a moment of being silent, the Celestial Spirit King said, "If you would go this far for my old friend…maybe the 'rule' is the one at fault. You committed a sin for your comrade Aries's sake Leo. I'll try and save that Leo, old friend. For the sake of that radiant bond, I'll consider this an 'exception.' Leo…I'll allow you to return to the Spirit World."

"You've got a benevolent side after all Old Beard Guy," Lucy said with a smile, the Celestial Spirit King also smiling.

"You were falsely accused. Thank the guidance of the stars," the Celestial Spirit King said.

"Please wait…I…" Leo said as he started to cry a bit.

"Even after this, if you still feel compelled to atone for your sin, then I command you to become a pillar for your friend to live on," the Celestial Spirit King said. "Those are the types of friends who have the most significance. There is nobility in willing to lay it all on the line to protect someone."

"What did I tell you?" Lucy asked as a door to the Spirit World appeared and opened.

"This does not absolve me of my sin, but you've given me the courage to move forward," Leo said as he entered through the door. "Thank you. I look forward to working with you, and to being your backbone."

"Likewise," Lucy said, Leo's key appearing in her hands after he had walked through. When the door had closed, Lucy found that time was still stopped in the area around here. To her surprise, the Celestial Spirit King was still there, looking around the area, as if trying to locate something he couldn't find. "Um…Mister Spirit King, can you unfreeze time now?" Lucy said,

"I'm sorry, but there's still a business that I need to take care off" the Celestial Spirit King said making Lucy a bit confused.

"Lucy!... " Pyrus shouted in the sky as he landed on the ground then running to her side. "Who is this guy?" Pyrus asked.

The Celestial Spirit King glance the boy before let a laugh "Hmhmhmhahaha!... So, you are one of the childs who makes a commotion among the spirits in my place..." The Celestial Spirit king said to the boy, making Pyrus and Lucy confused. "It's been a long time, I've been waiting to meet you. Blue Dragon Emperor and also One of the Heavenly Dragon's Children, Son of Luna..." the Celestial Spirit King continued

"Blue Dragon Emperor and Heavenly Dragon's Children?" Lucy tilted her head in confusion.

Pyrus's eyes widened as the Celestial Spirit King knows his dragon mother's name "Wa-Wait?...You know... My Mother?" Pyrus mutter in shock.

"Indeed I am..." The Celestial Spirit King nodded his head.

"Where is she!?" Pyrus shouted while asked the Spirit King, making Lucy startled that Pyrus dared to yell at the Celestial Spirit ruler.

"Pyrus, you must be polite, he's the Celestial Spirit King!" Lucy whispered to him.

"Tell me, where is she!?... please, I've been looking for her... Celestial Spirit King, please tell me .. where is she!?" Pyrus asked desperately. After years, he finally found someone who have clues that led to his mother's whereabouts.

The Celestial Spirit King shook his head and said "I'm sorry, but I cannot answer that" this really shocking Pyrus greatly.

"Wh ... Why!?" Pyrus asked again. and the Celestial Spirit King said again. "This is not the right time to say it" the Celestial Spirit King said. Pyrus gripping his hands tightly, with some tears running in his face.

"But there's a message for you, from your mother..." Pyrus and Lucy stared at him. the Celestial Spirit King pointed his finger towards Pyrus. "Remember this, Son of Luna ... in the future battles, it will be more difficult. The golden darkness will rise from its slumber" he said to make Pyrus widened his eyes. "When it arrives... The Gold Dragon... will revive"

Dracyan who heard this immediately opened his eyes wide because of this shock. he then growled as the Celestial Spirit King mentions the gold dragon. He gritted his teeth while a wild blue aura surrounding him.

Pyrus's eyes widened even more while Lucy can only hear this in confusion.

"The... The Gold Dragon?" Lucy muntter in confusion.

"Prepare yourself ... for the up coming battle, you will no longer need to hold back your power" The Celestial Spirit King said. "And for you, Blue Dragon Emperor... The Gold Dragon still didn't reach his quarter power and but yet he still very powerful"

Pyrus and Dracyan know what the gold dragon's power, it even take all they have just to scratch him

"What do you mean?!" Nymph then changed into her human form. The Celestial Spirit King glance at her then said. "You... Spirit from Andra, You better protect him until he's ready" Then the Celestial Spirit King begins to disappear in the light as the the world's time begin to move again.

Nymph only just nodded as Pyrus sighed and begin to walk away from that place. Lucy feel bad for him, he already find someone who know his mother. But he didn't get the answer he was looking for.

"Pyrus... " Lucy called him in low tone, she see Pyrus stop walking as he use a tree as a support then break one of the twig that tree have. He then looked towards the twig, a memories seen in his eyes. in the memories, he sees himself as a child playing while Luna and Lidorias watch over him.

Lidorias is a gigantic blue dragon, his lower body specifically his stomach that reached his lower mouth and legs are covered in yellow colors. He have some spikes on his back with angelic wings. He have round (usually slit) emerald green eyes, with 3 golden horns that one of them on top of his nose and two on top of his head. He have sharp canine teeth, yellow nails, and sharp tail like a triple headed spear.

While Luna is majestic white dragon with blue markings on her body, she have a soft golden eyes, and two horns on her head. Her wings is like a combination of angel and dragon's wings.

Younger Pyrus then drew Luna's face on the ground using a tree twig. Luna saw it then smile at him and Pyrus also replied with a smile then he hugging her head. While Lidorias who looks a little annoyed to see it then finally begin to smile. The three of them laughed happily before the memory change into a burning city. This is the City of Artemis, His younger self was staring down a black sword with dragon head cross-guard that belongs to Gristan Sieghart who is a father and also a teacher to him. He looked down with many tears flow in his face, he couldn't believe that he have to kill the man who is second father to him. Explosion then erupted then he look up at the one who responsible for this. The man with golden aura around him, Pyrus gritted his teeth then a blue aura burst out from him as he take Gristan's sword and charge at the mysterious man.

Pyrus still saw the twig, he then shed small tears and it fall to the ground. A soft wind begin to blow with the tree leafs dancing softly.

"I'm will stop him..." Pyrus said, making Lucy and Nymph look at him "I'm sure ... will stop him from revived" He finally looked at the front with a face full of seriousness.

"Master ..." Nymph mutters quietly looking at him.

"Even if there is someone blocking my way, I will defeat them with all my ability!" Pyrus then swung the twig vertically, making a strong wave that causing the trees to collapse and destroyed and making a straight road that reach for several miles "I will not let the incident from three years ago, be repeated again!" Pyrus began walking toward the Guild through the path he made, Nymph then immediately followed.

"Amazing! ..." Lucy thought in awe, seeing that he made straight road with only a twig. She then begin to wondering what The Celestial Spirit King means, the sun is up for signal for the morning, She then following the boy towards Fairy Tail as later, she will have a explaining to do.

-Time Skip-

In the unfinished Fairy Tail Guild house.

"A Spirit?"
"Loke is a Celestial Spirit?"
Natsu and Happy asked respectively. "Well, that's right" Loke scratched his head with an awkward smile on his face.

"So that bad feeling is true, when we change body at that day" Natsu checks Loke from all directions.

"Well, you got that right" Loke nodded at him

"I don't know even noticed it" Gray said as he crossed his arms.

"I already knew that all a long!" Nymph raised her hand with a smile on her face.

"Then why did not you tell us?" Pyrus asked her somewhat suspiciously.

"Well, because that's someone's personal secret," Nymph replied.

"But wait ... You're not a cow or a Horse or something like that ..." Natsu said to him.

"You know Virgo, Natsu. she's also can changed herself, remember?" Loke told him.

"Yeah ... But she can turn into a gorilla" Natsu pointed out, remembering Virgo turning into a huge maid.

"Loke is the lion spirit" Lucy telling them from the bar counter.

"Ah! A giant cat!" Happy exclaimed in surprise. "That's right!" Loke said with a smile.

"You're wrong!" Lucy shouted.

"Woah! ... so Loke is Leo the Lion?" Rayna asked witha smile "It just so happens that my Zodiac is Leo." Rayna said in awe. Loke looked at her with a smile on his face.

"Good for you, Ray ..." Pyrus said with a smile,he then looking at Lucy and asked "Hey Lucy! ... are you contracting with Gemini?" The blonde haired girl looked at him.

"Gemini?... no, I don't have the key, why? are you born in a gemini zodiac?" Lucy asked and the boy nodded.

"well, According to Luna, I was born on the early date in the gemini constellation" Pyrus answers her.

"But wait, are you really sure that you're fine?" Gray asked Loke.

"I'm not 100% fit yet, but I'm going to say 'Hi' for everyone, and I want to meet Lucy again as soon as possible" Loke said, making Lucy blushing.

"He likes you!" Happy and Tommy say while covering their mouths.

"Stop rolling your tongue!" Lucy said to the two cats.

"So, let's talk about our future together!" Loke picks up Lucy's bridal style, and wants to go out of the guild. Lucy tried to escape from him.

"I'm so jealous, I want to have a Celestial Spirit too" Natsu said in a jealous tone. while crossing his arms.

"What kind of spirit?" Happy asked him.

"A dragon of course! Then I will test the power of my Dragon Slayer magic!" Natsu exclaimed while imagining his training with his contract spirit

"The spirit is not a creature to test your strength!" Lucy scolded him. Nymph wanted to say something, but Pyrus quickly closed her mouth, making her pouted.

"That's right! You summon the spirit for the declaration of love" Loke said, but Lucy tells him to return to Spirit World because he has not recovered. Before that, Loke give her some tickets to stay at the hotel as a thank you for helping him. Lucy and Natsu immediately dance cheerfully with Happy.

"I've already given it to Erza too, Have fun!" Loke said.

"What are you guys waiting for? ..." they then see the source of the voice coming from Erza, who is ready with pulling her large cart full of luggage. Erza is already wearing a rubber float and a beach hat. "Do you want me to leave you behind?"

"So quick!" Lucy and Gray looked surprised.

"Beach! We're coming!" Pyrus exclaimed already wearing Black swimming trunks with purple strips on the edge. "Roger that Commander!" Tommy exclaimed doing a salute. "Wait!... We have to get our things ready" Gray said to them.

"Lucy, let's go." Erza calls Lucy, while Loke has already returned to Spirit World.

"Erza ... If someone's hurt because of me, maybe it's just like Loke, but it'll be fine because if we work together we can solve all the problems, right?" Lucy said. her team members just look at her with a smile.

"Hey! Let's hurry!" Natsu could not wait to leave.

"Aye sir!" Happy cheers. "Let's party all day!" Gray said.

"This is going to be a blast!" Pyrus exclaimed.

"Hm... I can't wait!" Rayna nodded in agreement.

"This is Loke's wish, so we'll have fun!" Erza said with smile.

"Aye sir!"
Fairy Tail's strongest team cheers with a large smile on their face while rising their hand up to the air. Not knowing that they will face a danger that comes from Erza's past.

-To be Continue-

I already have the pictures in my head, but I'm still struggle to find the right words to finish it and I will use the events both from the anime and manga as reference.
