Lucy glared at the guards stripping off her her clothes. "Can't a female do this?" Lucy asked, disgusted at the lusty looks the man was giving her.
"No can do lady. This is your punishment." The guard on the right said, sternly.
"So being shoved into a large gaping hole isn't punishment?" Lucy replied, snarkily.
"Leave her be." A guard said. Lucy tried to find the guard who said that, but didn't.
"Aw come on Adam. Who knows what we could do with a body like hers?" The guard on the right said, a smile plastered on his face.
"Noah, c'mon. You have a wife and kids at home. I got this." Adam the guard said stoically. Noah glared at Adam, and marched out of the room. Quickly, the guard stuck his head back in.
"You aren't gonna tell Maria about this, are you?" He spoke sheepishly, scratching the back of his head. Adam's booming laugh startled both Lucy and Noah the guard.
"You know I won't ever. But is she get suspicious and asks me, I'm gonna tell her." Adam spoke casualy. Noah nodded.
"I'll be outside. Call me back in when the tramp is done." That stung Lucy a bit. After The guard left, Adam turned to Lucy.
"I'm not very comfortable changing a female's clothes, so I trust that you can change your own clothes." Adam sheepishly grinned. Lucy nodded and lifted up her wrists.
"Unlock?" She asked. He nodded and grabbed the keys from his waist and unlocked the cuffs. Lucy's hand rushed up to cover her chest.
"Call me back in when you are done, okay?" Lucy smiled and nodded. As Adam left, Lucy scrambled for the bra. She picked it up and put on the bra over her old one. Then she slipped off her old bra, the new one was still on, and threw it into a random corner. She picked up a shirt and examined it. It was a simple white button up shirt. The blonde shrugged and put it on over her bra. She then picked up a blue ribbon and tied some of her hair into a side ponytail. She then slipped off her old underwear and slipped on the new one. Lucy sighed as it held tight to her body. What was that man... Noah... going to do to her? She shuddered at the thought as she slipped on a dark blue shirt, and knee high boots. Lucy looked around for her old outfit, and saw it laying in a corner. She frantically ran to it and rummaged through it. She had brought her keys with her just in case. She found them and smiled. She took out a golden key with a simple design on it.
"I summon thee, Leo the lion." She whispered. A poof of golden sparkled appeard and froze, as Leo started to form, concled by the glitter.
"My lady?" Leo asked, squinted his eyes. Lucy hushed the spirit.
"Tell the other spirits that I need help. Get Virgo to ask Yukino to borrow Libra. Then get Libra to Make the gravity point away from the hole of Hell so that I land on 'The Middle'. But before that happens, get Deneb and tell him to Not distract the guards okay?" Lucy asked. Leo was confused.
"Not to distract the guards...? But..." Leo asked confused.
Lucy sighed. "Deneb does the opposite of whatever people ask him, remember? Yeesh i know more about him than you huh?" Leo huffed.
"I was just... testing you? Yeah, YEAH! I was just testing you, to see if you really knew your spirits!" Leo lied. Lucy let out a slight laugh.
"Thanks for that." Leo was confused.
"What did I do?"
" You made me smile. It might be the last time I get to. The fall to 'The Middle'or to 'The Below' will most likely kill me. It was nice to smile while I could." Leo's eyes widened.
"Brain, remember to get Aries to calculate where Lucy is going to fall so that Lucy won't die." Leo thought.
"Anyways, we should get going." Lucy grabbed her pouch that held her keys. She took out her keys and hid them in her bra. "Sorry guys..." She whispered. She felt the keys get really warm. Lucy sighed and put the pouch at her waist.
"Ma'am, I'm going to have to search your bag." The perverted guard from before ordered. Lucy nodded and slipped the pouch of of her waist, and handed it to the man.
"Anything suspicious?" Lucy smiled. The guard sighed and glared at the blonde. Lucy smiled again as the pouch was sent down the conveyor belt. No pings or dings were heard. At the end of the search, Lucy was given back her bag. "Thank you my good sir."
"Move along ma'am." Lucy giggled. She turned and walked towards the plank that leg over the hole. She looked at the guard.
"Adam, right?" Lucy asked. He nodded. Lucy sighed, and looked at the rope in his hands. She held up her hands together and Adam bound them together.
"Listen, you... You don't have to do this, right? You could just work for whoever you dissed for a few years to learn your 'lesson' or whatever, and... you know... Not jump." Adam explained. Lucy glared at him.
"There's no way in 'The Below' would I ever work for Lady Maraki." Lucy hissed. Adam stepped back in shock. Two guards came over and picked Lucy up from below her armpits. She didn't resist. As she was dropped on the plank, her keys started to get warm. A loud poof was heard from behind her, and the sound of Deneb's voice was heard.
"HEY YOU GUARDS! LOOK OVER HERE!" Lucy smiled. The plan was going perfectly. Lucy saw the reflection of Libra's scales as she made the gravity go left away from the hole. The blonde turned around, and smiled. She saw the shocked look on Adams face.
"Bye!" She smiled, and jumped off the plank, to meet her doom. As soon as she met the force of Libra's power she was flung to the left. As Lucy grew near the ground, she closed her eyes and waited for the rough impact. It never came. She opened her eyes to see pink fluff. "Aries?"
"G-gomen! I-i didn't mean to displease you!" Lucy smiled.
"Its alright Aries. Did you do this yourself?" Lucy asked. Aries shook her head.
"Leo-Oniisan requested that I save you. Your spirits really like you as a master, and don't want to die." Aries said, smiling. Lucy smiled.
"Tell Leo I said thanks." Aries smiled and nodded, and disappeared. Lucy got up from the pink fluff, and watched it disappear too. She sighed, and walked into the forest, unaware of the blonde spy, sent from 'The Above' to watch over Lucy.
