Hi folks! Just a little note, as I was correctly reminded, as a God slayer Lucy's breath attack would be a bellow not a roar so from now on it'll be God's Bellow.

Chapter 3

Erza was sat in the spectator stand next to the training field watching as Lucy continued her training alongside Wendy, Laxus and Loke, it had been nearly a week since Poseidon taught her how to use the God's Bellow and in that time she had gotten much stronger and had learnt quite a few new spells. Erza wasn't really all that surprised by the blonde's rapid progress given she started her training each day at 8am and didn't finish until 8 sometimes 9 at night, only taking breaks for food, drink and required bodily functions. She was proud of her girlfriend but truth be told she was also sad, with Lucy so focused on training they had had almost no time together and the longing Erza felt in her heart was getting stronger and stronger by the minute. She was so caught up in her thoughts she didn't notice Poseidon sit down next to her until he spoke, "you look troubled my dear, want to talk about it?" Erza looked into his sapphire blue eyes and could see that he genuinely wanted to help "are you sure you want to know?" she asked hesitantly "of course! If you need to talk I'm always ready to listen" he replied caringly, "it's just..." Erza started "*sigh* It's just me being pathetic that's all, with Lucy so busy over the last week we've barely seen each other and it's created this feeling in my heart like a...a...a longing I guess that's been keeping me up at night." Poseidon listened intently to Erza as she bore her heart to him occasionally nodding to show he was listening, "my dear you are by no means pathetic I assure you" he replied with one hand on her shoulder, "it is natural for people to want to be around the people we love and long for them when they are not near that is nature for almost all beings in this universe, humans, animals...even spirits on rare occasions. But if you don't believe me then if I were you I would brace yourself." She looked at him with confusion written across her face from his last words but turned back to watch Lucy and jumped when she saw Lucy was stood right in front of her, Lucy hit Erza on the head with 2 fingers (A/N trust me it's surprisingly effective especially if you say "one more thing" just before, thank you Jackie Chan adventures lol) then wrapped her in a tight hug. "Erza Scarlet you are not pathetic!" she said sternly, "and to tell you the truth I've been longing for you too, I just can't get you out of my head and it was so much worse at night without you laid beside me in the bed. I don't like being without you baby, not at all so...erm...wow this is more nerve wracking than I thought...*deep breath* w-will you m-m-move in w-with m-me?" Releasing the hug for a moment to look into Lucy's eyes Erza saw the conviction and love in them and effectively melted there and then, "r-really? Y-you really w-want me t-to live with you?" Lucy giggled "hell yeah! If I had my way I'd always be with you but this is a good start...plus I do believe we started something we never finished," Erza's cheeks burned bright red as she remembered the first night they had spent as a couple and all her doubts and fears evaporated, "when can I move in?" "Today! As soon as I finish for the day we'll grab a little of your stuff and move it to my place them..." she leaned in to whisper in Erza's ear" I'll show you just how much I love you" to make her point hit home she licked the shell of Erza's ear sending a pleasurable shiver of anticipation down her spine. Poseidon couldn't help but chuckle at the faces of the Dragon Slayers who could hear what Lucy had whispered, Wendy had turned bright red and Laxus had gone wide eyed and was having a nose bleed, he turned his head to look at Lucy and Erza once again to find them lip locked in a passionate kiss. After coughing to get their attention he said "you know m'lady you've worked so hard this last week I think you deserve to finish early today, you two go have some fun" he smiled as Lucy jumped at him bringing him into a happy hug.

Suddenly Wendy sniffed the air and a smile broke across her face "she's back!" she exclaimed giddily looking towards the horizon where the slayers could make out a small airborne silhouette heading straight for them. "I didn't think she was due back for a couple more days" Lucy said worriedly as she caught the incoming scent of her friend mixed with what she now knew was the unmistakable scent of exhaustion and fear, a few moments later Wendy dove to catch the small white Exceed that fell from the sky. "CARLA!" she cried "are you ok?! What happened?" "I'm just a little tired child I'll be fine once I rest a little" replied the dress wearing Exceed, "but there is no time for that now I must see the Master something awful has happened!" "What's happened?" asked a still worried Lucy, "Well..." started Carla "about a week ago something impacted just outside New Extalia, at first we thought it was a meteorite but to be safe my mother, the Queen, sent a few soldiers to investigate. Whatever it is was protected by a slowly dissipating magic barrier that took the soldiers a few days to get past, but once they did they found...nothing, or at least that's what they reported back. The soldiers that went first kept taking other soldiers, even the army Generals, to look at the impact site for some reason but when they returned they were...different, they were far far more aggressive and confrontational, heck they were even talking about launching invasions against other settlements! Ever since we came to Earthland we realised that the...dominance we had in Edolas turned us into something we did not like and as such we dedicated ourselves to peace. My Mother believes this...thing, whatever it is, is controlling them so she sent me to get Fairy Tail's help as soon as I possibly could." Wendy and Lucy comforted Carla before hearing a groan coming from the stands, when everyone turned they saw Poseidon sat there with his head in his hands, "why" he said to himself "why did it have to be him? It couldn't have been Artemis or Hermes...hell even Hades would've been preferable but noooo it had to be him." "Errr Poseidon, you OK?" asked Lucy a little confused, Poseidon looked up and chuckled, "well my Lady it would seem we need not hunt for another God as one has presented himself to us," "so this is a God's doing?" Lucy asked "indirectly yes, with no one controlling his key it's mere presence would be the cause of this," "so which God is it?" "That would be my...dear...Brother Ares, God of War and Bloodshed." "A-Ares!?" exclaimed Lucy with shock clear in her voice, she brushed her fingers across the golden key on her key ring belonging to Aries the Ram, "I am quite sure you are thinking about their names" Poseidon chuckled "but that is a question best left for after we persuade him to join us. For now my Lady we must make haste to this New Extalia, Leo if you would be so kind as to let Master Makarov know what has occurred." Loke was about to nod when from behind him they heard "no need my boy," the diminutive Master stepped forward, "I heard everything but I will not allow you to go alone Lucy, since I would have classified this as another S-Class quest I want Laxus and Erza to accompany you, Wendy, Carla you two had better go too just to be safe. Meanwhile I will make sure the rest of Team Natsu don't try and follow you," Lucy sweat dropped thinking about the insane degrees of mayhem Gray and Natsu could cause trying to fight the God of War, "yeah that's probably a good idea, if everyone's ready we'll set off at once," everyone nodded and the 4 mages and 1 Exceed headed for the train station to begin their latest adventure.

* Time Skip 5 hours in Town of Oakvale *

The train journey had been pleasant, filled with conversation and laughter but now they had disembarked at the train station closest to New Extalia, a town called Oakvale. "So pretty!" Wendy exclaimed looking around at the peaceful picturesque town, "I guess" replied Laxus slightly disinterested "so what's the plan Blondie? From what I heard New Extalia is a good 5 or 6 hour walk from here" "Laxus us correct and it will be getting dark soon, perhaps we should stay the night in town and set off in the morning" suggested Erza, "yeah I guess you're right, besides Spark But needs all the beauty sleep he can possibly get" agreed Lucy with a mischievous grin on her face causing the group to laugh. Soon after the group had a nice dinner at a nearby restaurant before heading to what they were told by the locals was one of the nicest hotels in the town, upon arriving Lucy, as the designated Leader of the group, booked them into the hotel getting a double room for her and Erza and a single room each for Wendy and Laxus with Carla of course staying with Wendy. Bidding each other "good night" the mages retreated to their rooms planning on getting an early night so they would be ready for their early morning walk to New Extalia, "wow this room is lovely" said Erza as she walked through the door into their joint room "it really is" replied Lucy "and that bed looks soooooo comfy." Closing the door Erza walked over to the bedside table setting the lacrima alarm to wake them at 8:00 next morning, she realised that Lucy had yet to move from her position at the middle of the room so turned to face her and her face practically exploded red as she saw Lucy stood there wearing nothing but her black silk underwear with the corner of her bottom lip sucked into her mouth giving Erza a sultry and seductive look that sent a heat like she had never felt straight to her core.

Lemon Alert!

Lucy slowly walked towards Erza swaying her hips seductively, her eyes like those of a predator stalking its prey. Erza backed up slightly, stopping once she bumped into the bed her face so red that Lucy could practically see the heat coming off of it, "L-L-Lucy? W-W-What are y-you..." Erza started asking but was stopped by Lucy placing her finger on Erza's lips, "shhh don't worry baby, I did say I was going to show you just 'how much I love you' after all" replied Lucy sending shivers down Erza's spine and heat straight to her core that created a nearly unbearable need. Lucy snaked her other hand around Erza, her hand resting on her butt cheek, and pulled Erza closer before removing her finger from her lips and replacing it with her own lips. The kiss started slow, sweet and loving, Erza loved how she could faintly taste strawberries on Lucy's lips and she was beginning to get lost in the moment, she tested the waters by licking Lucy's bottom lips asking for access which to her delight Lucy allowed opening her mouth and letting their tongues dance. Rapidly the kiss became more and more passionate until Lucy suddenly found the amount of clothes Erza was wearing to be deeply unacceptable, breaking the kiss she began to plant kisses along Erza's neck getting mewls of pleasure in response, particularly when she sucked on one spot leaving a small hicky, as she worked on Erza's neck her hands quickly opened all the buttons of Erza blouse top before slipping it off and throwing it across the room. Stepping back to marvel at her lovers large and beautiful breasts contained within a white silk bra that pushed them together creating a valley of cleavage that left Lucy practically salivating, wasting no time she began to kiss down the valley while her hands, with a speed that surprised Erza, unhooked her bra making Erza's breasts bounce as they were freed. Cupping one in her hands she rolled her nipples between her fingers making Erza moan loudly, Erza was loving this side of Lucy but wouldn't give up control so easily without a fight, with one hand she unhooked Lucy's bra allowing it to fall to the floor and with the other hand she hooked her thumb into Lucy's panties and with one short, sharp tug slipped them off leaving Lucy completely naked in front of her. "Sweet Mavis! You truly are a goddess Lucy" Erza whispered before crashing her lips onto Lucy's, taking one of Lucy's breasts in her hand she kneaded and moulded it while with her other hand she began slowly rubbing her fingers along the lips of Lucy's soaking wet core causing Lucy to moan into the kiss, refusing to be outdone Lucy practically ripped off Erza's skirt and pushed aside her matching white G-string before plunging a finger into Erza's equally soaking core. After a few minutes of them playing with each other's cores both of their breathings were becoming short and ragged, they could both feel a knot tightening within their stomachs and they so desperately needed a release, "oh gods I'm so close keep going" breathed Erza "me too baby, cum with me baby! Cum with me! Cum with meeeee OH ERZA!" "LUCY!" they each screamed as their orgasms hit at the same time. Taking a moment to recover Lucy placed the finger that had been inside Erza into her mouth and licked it clean loving the sweet taste that was left on her tongue, she knew that they would need as much rest as they could for the potential battle the next day so she couldn't spend as much time tuning Erza into babbling mess from constant cumming as she was hoping to that night but she knew there was one more thing she could do please her lover that night. Pushing Erza onto the bed Lucy ripped off her panties before climbing onto the bed and kissed her furiously, "I'm not done with you yet baby" Lucy said seductively before spinning around so her face was directly above Erza's wet core while hers was next to Erza's head. Deciding not to tease her girlfriend Lucy began to lick and suck on Erza's core, each time her tongue lapped up Erza's juices Erza's would moan just a little louder, not wanting Lucy to be left out Erza pulled Lucy's right leg over her head placing her dripping core above her head before leaning forward and plunging her tongue as deep within Lucy's waiting core as she could. Minutes passed as the two lapped away, their moans getting louder and louder by the second as they felt the familiar knot in their stomachs tightening, it wasn't long before they both screamed into each other's core's as their juices exploded onto each other's tongues. Crawling under the covers of the bed the two lovers held each other in their arms "that...was incredible!" breathed Erza getting a giggle from Lucy "just wait until we get some time to ourselves back at OUR home, you haven't seen anything yet" replied Lucy warmly, the two snuggled up to one another with Lucy's head resting between Erza's breasts "I love you Erza" "I love you too Lucy, now let's get some sleep" within seconds the two lovers were fast asleep both dreaming of their future together.

*Lemon over! Hope you enjoyed!*

The next morning the mages left Oakvale and headed east towards New Extalia, the closer the group got the clearer they could make out the gleaming white marble structures of the Exceed city. As they got close to the city gates the mages saw a pair of Exceeds standing guard, "holt outsider!" the brown furred guard shouted followed closely by the black furred guard adding "you are not welcome here! Begone!" Stepping forward Carla frowned and spoke with authority "these mages have been summoned here by the queen herself! Stand aside at once!" The brown guard's face contorted to show pure fury his eyes faintly glowing red "who the FUCK do you think you're talking to bitch!? Huh?" "That is quite enough of that!" shouted a grey Exceed in a black formal suit wearing a monocle walking towards them from within the city, "guards return to your posts at once! Mages if you would be so kind as to follow me." Instead of leading them into the city the grey Exceed led them around the outside of the city walls, "my name is Koto and I have the honour of serving as the Queen's Prime Minister" he said, "her Majesty regrets that she was unable to greet you herself but as I'm sure you noticed from the gate guards the situation has grown far worse, it is currently taking everything she has to prevent the military going rogue and launching invasions at random." Carla's face paled, well as much as her white fur would allow, "it's gotten that bad already!? I've only been gone a day, if it's escalating this quickly we must act now!" Looking to comfort the young Exceed Lucy said "don't worry, we'll do everything in our power to set things right, after all that's..." before she could finish her eyes went wide and her head snapped forwards staring in the direction they were heading, "it's close" she said "I can feel it, I can sense the aura it's giving off and dam it's strong!" Stopping and pointing ahead of them Koto agreed with Lucy "you are quite correct miss, the impact site is just over there, I can go no further by order of the Queen so I will wait here for your victorious return. Good luck my friends."

Leaving Koto to observe the mages made their way towards the impact site, the closer they got the thicker and heavier the air seamed to get with tension though Lucy could tell it was actually the key's aura. Eventually they reached the small crater made by whatever had impacted, around which were 3 Exceed soldiers who ignored the mages as if they weren't even there, as they reached the edge of the crater almost all the mages couldn't see anything but Lucy's new and improved eyes could make out a small metallic object surrounded by a red aura. "Everyone stand back I'm going to awaken Ares" Lucy ordered watching as everyone followed without hesitation, closing her eyes she took in a deep calming breath and began to let her God Magic flow.

I who am connected to the Celestial Gods command thee: Awaken from your slumber, unlock the seal and pass through the gate! Open! Gate of the God of War: Ares

The crater erupted in a vortex of red and crimson light that shot out into the sky, as it began to die down a man stepped out and stood at the edge of the crater looking at the mages with an almost bored look on his face. Lucy couldn't help but look slightly amazed at the man before her, he looked to be in his 20's, stood a good 2 feet taller than her and was extremely muscular. He was wearing golden armour that covered his chest and legs but left his arms exposed and on his head he wore what appeared to be a Spartan's helmet that showed only his blood red eyes and clean shaven mouth. "Which of you bears the title of 'God Slayer'?" he asked in a deep and slightly scary voice, "I do" Lucy replied putting as much confidence in her voice as she could, "my name is Lucy Heartfillia and I am the Celestial High God Slayer trained by your brother Poseidon." Ares' face contorted into a sneer "as I thought, only Poseidon would choose a pathetic child to train," Lucy felt a twinge of pain in her heart as secretly she had always been self conscious about being weak but now things were different and she refused to accept those comments from Ares, "not long ago you would've been right but not any longer! I WILL unite the God keys and I WILL destroy the Flood!" Ares chuckled, "you? You, an untested little girl, are going to destroy the Flood? Ha!" "Test me then!" Lucy shouted "hmmm, very well little girl I shall indeed test you, we shall battle as I see fit but your 'allies' over there are forbidden from interfering, if they do you will fail and my key will be lost to you forever." Lucy's eyes hardened to a look of pure determination "I agree to your terms, now let's get started shall we?" Ares chuckled sarcastically "oh no you will have to prove yourself if you want to fight me after all" he smiled darkly holding his hands out to the side "war is hell!" Lucy heard 3 distinct cries around her that quickly turned into roars, looking around she watched in amazement as the 3 Exceed guards grew larger and more muscular until they could easily rival Panther Lilly in his battle form. As each guard turned to face her she could see their eyes were glowing blood red and their faces held a look of pure undiluted rage, without warning or provocation they let out a furious roar and began to charge at Lucy, thinking fast a realisation hit her that put a smile on her face, "well you never said I couldn't call my spirits."

Open! Gate of the Scorpion, Gate of the Golden Bull: Scorpio and Torus!

Watching as the two Zodiac spirits appeared in golden light Ares couldn't help but think two Zodiacs at once huh? Not bad, but can she use them properly? Lucy ordered the two spirits to distract 1 Exceed each, which worked beautifully leaving the last one still heading straight for her. Having deduced the Exceeds were acting out of pure rage she knew they wouldn't be attacking tactically, which was proven correct not a moment later when the last Exceed lunged at her, smiling as things were going to plan she gracefully dodged while simultaneously unclipping her whip and wrapping it around her attacker's leg. With one swift movement with her newly enhanced strength, Lucy pulled the Exceed's leg out from under him knocking him to the floor leaving him dazed, moving to finish him Lucy jumped into the air and wrapped her fist in dark, sparkly magic that looked a lot like the night sky.

Celestial God's: Twilight Fist!

Her fist crashed into the Exceed's face causing his head to impact the floor with a great deal of force rendering him unconscious. Moving onto step 2 of her hastily thought up plan she had her sprits manoeuvre the other two Exceeds so they were close together, then had Torus use his axe to power up and direct Scorpio's Sand Blaster taking out both targets at once and naming the technique Sand Buster.

With all 3 targets knocked out they began to congratulate themselves when Ares stepped forward, "not bad little girl not bad, you actually managed to earn a fight with me, now show me what you've got." Not knowing the God's magic Lucy hastily came up with another plan and whispered it to her spirits, nodding Torus charged at Ares twirling his axe above him. Bringing the axe down Torus tried to slash Ares vertically but he merely stepped to the side to avoid it, spinning on his heels Torus turned the vertical slash into a spinning horizontal slash but this time Ares caught the blade in his right hand. Torus grinned confusing Ares until he noticed Scorpio had leaped into the air above Torus and was about to fire his Sand Blaster, with incredible skill and precision Ares unbalanced Torus by releasing the Axe, squatted down then delivered a powerful kick that sent Torus straight into the path of Scorpio's attack, causing Torus to shimmer back into the spirit world. Having dealt with one spirit Ares moved to deal with the other, just before Scorpio's feet returned to the ground Ares shot towards him at great speed, his right hand began to glow yellow, once Scorpio's feet touched the floor the glow formed into a golden sword that Ares used to slice him in half before he could so much as blink, just before he disappeared Scorpio mouthed sorry to Lucy leaving her to deal with the God of War all on her own.

Recognising Ares' magic as something close to Erza's re-equip magic Lucy knew that Ares' greatest skills would be in close combat, watching as he arrogantly walked towards her she slowly and stealthily sucked in air. Once Ares was close enough that he would find it difficult to dodge she unleashed her attack.

Celestial God's: Bellow!

Ares smirked at Lucy's Bellow re-equipping a shield onto his free arm blocking the attack with ease, "is this it? Is this the total of your power Little Girl? You could at least summon my brother, his magic might actually be a challenge." Lucy gritted her teeth becoming irritated by Ares' arrogance "you want his magic you got it!"

God Change: Poseidon!

Lucy's magic pressure got stronger, around her seemed to be a light blue glow and on her forehead appeared a sapphire blue trident symbol showing she had tapped into Poseidon's magic, "how's this for his magic?" she screamed before sucking in air once again.

Celestial Water God's: Bellow!

Erupting from her mouth Lucy's Bellow was now a combination of the black, sparkly magic from before and high density, high pressure water, Ares blocked with his shield again but this time it was no where even close to easy. Ares found himself being pushed backwards a few feet by the sheer force of Lucy's Bellow, once it ended he found his shield had large cracks running through it, he re-equipped it away and thought to himself she's actually not bad, we can't have been sealed for more than 2 weeks and she's already at this level. She might just actually be able to pull this off. Deciding to push her a little harder Ares dashed forward and began to attack with his sword, to his surprise Lucy gracefully dodged them all, almost like she was dancing. Lucy however was becoming worried, with her God magic still being new her magic reserves were yet to reach their full potential and were running low, she knew at most she'd have 3, maybe 4 spells left but she had a plan, the downside of which being if it didn't work she would be left completely drained and unable to fight. The other downside was the first spell she needed to use for her plan to work Poseidon had only told her about not taught her yet, luckily though she had managed to figure it out through research, trial and error (she hoped). Dodging another sword strike by flipping backwards and slamming both palms to the ground.

Celestial Water God's: Tectonic Shift!

To everyone's amazement Lucy's spell created a localised earthquake that easily unbalanced Ares, moving to step 2 she wrapped her fist in the same combination magic as her Bellow.

Celestial Water God's: Twilight Maelstrom

Ares had other ideas though, re-equipping his sword into a spear, with a speed that easily put Erza to shame, be struck her in the stomach with the blunt end winding her a little before striking her again on the side sending her into the ground a few feet away. As he confidently strolled over he noticed the hole Lucy's fist had created on impact and was quite pleased she hadn't had the chance to strike him, standing over her he couldn't help but smirk arrogantly, especially when he saw the trident on her forehead had gone, meaning she was no longer in her God Form: Poseidon. "Looks like I win" he said his smirk never faltering, "I'm...I'm n-not done yet" Lucy replied stubbornly barely managing to lift herself off the ground to rest on her elbows, "not done yet!? HAHAHAHA" Ares laughed "you can barely move, your God Form had worn off and your magic is very low what can you possibly do?" Lucy grinned "this!" She pointed her left palm at him and 3 magic circles appeared around him in a triangle formation with another above him, creating a pyramid like formation all pointed at him.

Celestial God's Secret Art: Night of Shooting Stars

All 4 of the magic circles began firing Shooting star like blasts, each one hitting Ares with great accuracy and force. Once each magic circle had fired 9 shots, totalling 36 direct hits to Ares, they disappeared leaving only a cloud of smoke and dust where Ares should have been. With her magic levels now critically and dangerously low Lucy could feel her body giving out and her mind losing consciousness, she tried desperately to stay awake to see if it was over but the more she tried the more darkness overtook her eyes. After a few seconds, just as the smoke and dust were starting to clear, darkness had completely overtaken her vision and she lost consciousness and slumped backwards, as she did the last thing she heard was of chorus of "LUCY!" shouted from somewhere behind her but she was unable to tell where they were or who they were before the blackness took her completely.
