SAVE HER LYON! SAVE HER!

Lyon's P.O.V.

"You're mother's not dead!", I yelled, but Ishi was just too far away to hear. I spun around,"FREED! YOU IDIOT! WHY DIDN'T YOU CORRECT THEM?", I bellowed at the green-haired mage, who glared at me.

"It's not my fault she thought the worst, Lyon! How was I supposed to know she would run off?", He yelled, crossing his arms. Juvia was hugging her mother, who was smiling widely, now completely human. If I understood correctly, Freed had heard about Aquadea and her curse a while back, and had heard of a way to free her. You had to carefully split the ocean from the mage, and she would live. Fortunately, Freed was able to complete the "ritual" without any major issues. The blood on the sword was his own, when the sword had swung and nicked him in the leg. Idiot. The only thing that could connect Aquadea to the Siren, was the patch of green scales at the base of her neck.

"We need to find her. Now.", Aquadea looked at Freed, then at me, her eyes telling us to back off. When happy at the distance between us, Aquadea got up and walked out the door, with Aurelie, Loke, Mystogan, Mariko and I following her. Soon we saw Lola and Chizu, who looked troubled, they must have seen Ishi. "Excuse me, but ha-"

"Yes, she ran out the gates. I'm sorry, what happened to Ishi?", Lola asked, helping her fellow Exceed by wiping away the tears. Suddenly, Happy popped up from behind us.

"Lola! I need your help for something!", Oh my god. Does that cat really think that bribing her with fish will get her to like him?

"I don't have time for this.", I muttered, running past the others towards the gate. I looked out, the sun was rising and I could see a tiny rain cloud in the distance. Ishi. I grabbed a magic motorcycle and quickly zoomed off, leaving the castle behind me. I hope Ishi's ok, who knows who could've found her? I skidded to a stop in front of the forest, the tires leaving skid marks in the soft dirt. I climbed off and ran blindly into the forest, listening for a sign of life. I heard running from beside me, and I followed my only clue.

"Told you she was here.", I heard Karin from in front of me, and I crouched into the bushes. If she was here, then -

"I'll give you that one.", Lisanna laughed, proving my point. The Sirens must be here. But who was her? Ishi?

"So, where do we start? I've been waiting too long.", Sherry smirked, and I could see the faint sunlight reflect off her fangs.

"Patience.", Ultear hissed, her gaze unwavering. "You've waited this long, you can wait a little while longer.", Little while longer for what? My fists clenched as I peeked through the bush, only to see Ishi collapse, unconscious. It took all my strength not to leap out to protect her, so I had to watch helplessly as magic ban bracelets were fastened around her wrists and ankles, and her wrists were tied together. I growled softly as Ultear swung the water wizard over her shoulder and walked off in a separate direction of the others, who walked away from the palace. Now to stalk my sister. (play music for lols)

I crept after them, careful not to snap a stick or make too much noise, that stalking buisness is hard work you know. I followed them, watching their every move like a stalker, i don't know how they do it though, stalkers. I almost stacked it twice, missed a tree by *this* much and almost fell into a hole. Yeah, it isn't easy stalking. Suddenly, Ultear stopped and put Ishi down near a tree, before spinning around to face me. Shit.

"You really aren't good at sneaking around, Lyon.", She glared at me, before attacking. "Ice-Make: Rosen Krone!", A vine of ice roses shot out of the ground, and I flipped to avoid them.

"Ice-make: Eagle!", I formed eagles out of my hands, but they evaporated. Curse Ultear's Ark Of Time magic. "Ice-Make: Lance!", My cold weapons suffered the same fate as their predecessors, and Ultear laughed.

"You idiot. You know I can beat your ice magic.", She smirked, but I was only getting warmed up. Ice formed on my left elbow and right hand, and Ultear scoffed. "I just told you, are you that thick?", Her smile faded when I sliced my skin, and the blood mixed with the ice.

"You can't use Ark Of Time on this, can you, Ultear?", I smirked, hitting her one weakness; Ark Of Time was useless against living things, and blood was living, technically. "Ice Blade: Seven Slice Dance!", I ran up to her, and no matter how hard she tried, Ultear was pummeled with ice, again and again. Soon she crumbled, my ice scraping the top of her scales. "You have three seconds to run before I slice your throat.", I warned, the ice dangerously close to her windpipe. "One.", Ultear looked at me, wide-eyed. "Two."

"No, please!", She begged, tears glistening in her eyes, yet that puppy-dog face didn't stop me.

"Three.", I didn't slice her windpipe, instead I rammed the ice in her gut, and she lost consciousness. I quickly ran to Ishi, who was just waking up.

"L-Lyon? What happened? Where ar-"

"Don't worry, you're safe, I'm here.", I stopped her questions with a kiss, and I swiftly untied her hands and removed the mgic ban bracelets. And only when my hand brushed her head, did I feel her blood. "Oh god, you're bleeding.", I shuffled behind her, and pressed my hand against her head. Sure enough, when I removed it, there was blood on my hand. "Hold on.", I quickly pressed my hand to the wound, and ice formed over the cut, stopping the blood flow.

"Thankyou.", She gingerly pressed her hand to the ice, then jerked it away again at the cold. "You didn't have to do that, you know.", She blushed as I helped her to her unsteady feet. We walked past the unconscious Ultear, yeah yeah, I should've taken her with us, but Ishi comes first. No exceptions.

"Yes I did. I should have told you, your mother's alive.", Ishi froze, and looked at me wide-eyed.

"What?"

"I know, I found out recently too. Freed killed the Siren, but saved your mother. He split them."

"Of course! I'm an idiot! But, the blood?", Ishi must know what i'm talking about.

"He was being an idiot and cut himself."

"Idiot."

"That's what I said.", I chuckled, and Ishi joined in, and our laughter could be heard for miles. That's when I noticed the slight limp in Ishi's right leg. I bent down and peered at her right ankle and, sure enough, it was swollen and purple. "What happened? You're in no condition to walk.", I pressed my palm to her ankle, and it was burning. I coated her ankle in ice, and smirked when she sighed in relief. Then, ignoring her protests, I gingerly picked her up and carried her back.

"Lyon! Put me down!"

"No. Why should I? Are you embarrassed to be around me?", I pouted, and Ishi blushed.

"No! it's just that, I don't need this pampering!", She reasoned, but I only laughed. "It's not funny, you iced bastard!"

"That's new."

"Shut up if you want both legs."

"Make me."

"You asked for it ice boy.", Ishi squirmed in my arms until we were eye to eye. She placed one arm around my neck to stop herself from sliding, and kissed me hard, almost making me stumble back. She quickly stopped the kiss and jumped out of my arms. I looked at her while she smiled like a maniac.

"What. The. Hell?", I gasped, leaning against a tree, and Ishi limped over and sat at my feet. "What's with you?"

"I'm water, I can change.", She smiled as she pulled my hand and I slid down next to her. I looked at her and shook my head, I can't believe I love her.

"You always surprise me, you know?", I told her as she rested her head on my shoulder. Her breathing slowed down as the skies cleared, probably from her tears earlier. WHen the sun touched our faces, damn, it felt good. "I love you."

"I love you too.", I looked into her eyes, and kissed her perfect rosy lips.
