Chapter 9

South Dakota – Abandon building

Steve had been left with the file of how Claudia looked now, he had to admit she was so beautiful, her honey brown eye's filled with life, wearing her blonde hair in pig tails, one set of heart ear rings, green waist coat, a top that stopped just above her rather large breasts, and what looked like a gold key in her hand.

His mind began to wander back to the warehouse, he could've sworn he saw a key similar to something like that but it was blood red, he had read the history on his biological parents, both of them had blonde hair but Layla she looked almost identical to Claudia and had some sort of Celestial magic.

The male though, he didn't like the bad vibe he was getting from him, there was something in the man's eyes he didn't like. Then he remembered what Claudia had told him once

'I got fed up with being punched about by my foster fathers…'

His eye's hardened, "he's the reason why…." He had read that the heartfilia family was very wealthy, one of the top 3 in Fiora, but 7 years ago, Jude had been bought out and lost everything.

There was also a copy of the letter Jude had sent to Lucy only a few months ago before he passed away from an illness, gritting his teeth, the man had regretted everything he'd done to his sister, he could feel the sorrow and love coming from that letter, According to this she was in a guild called Fairy tail and they was attacked by a large dark dragon, said to be dead. So that's why he hadn't had contact with her for 7 years? Even though she ran away she had kept sending him letters but they had stopped.

But she was back now, and this man wanted her powers, Not her Caretaker side though, this magical side …. "Claudia… stay away… please…. I don't want you to suffer because of me."

Warehouse 13 – South Dakota

The large metal door opened up with the sound of men chattering, Looking up from the computer screen, Lucy sighed with a smile on her face, "I was wondering on how long it would take you both to get back, I'm in need of a Caffinee break!" Loke handed her one take out cup and she took a sip. "Thank you Loke"

"It's my pleasure princess how's it going on this weird mechanical thing?" she couldn't help but chuckle slightly "Loke I told you before it's called a computer, and so far, I've managed to fix 4 of the major codes that Artie screwed up. I still have another 26 to go before I'm finished then there are some minor ones while giving the system a quick update" She gave a sigh before rubbing her chest slightly, Pete sat down next to her.

"Are you ok Claud?" she nodded slightly, "I can feel deep sadness in my heart, it's not coming from Laxus so it must be from Steve…. I might use the time while I'm here to find out the reasons on why the Metronome's effects are still there. When it was destroyed it should have stopped."

"It should have yes Agent Donovan, but we didn't anticipate a second effect activating once the Metronome was destroyed." All three jumped out of their skins and turned to the door to see a woman standing there, around 5 ft 4, African American, Wearing a black suit with black framed glasses matching.

"Holy Marvis! Mrs F you scared the crap out of me." Loke stood in front of his master, eye's slightly hardened, "Princess…" but his masters gentle hand on his elbow indicated that it was ok, "She's a friend Loke, Mrs F won't hurt us but what do you mean a second effect?"

Mrs F walked closer looking out of the window to the vast amount of shelves across the warehouse, "I see you've let in the secret of the Warehouse to an outsider Agent Donovan, we will go over this matter later but first I'd like to welcome you back" "But Mrs Fredrick, Loke isn't an outs-" Pete was suddenly cut off with Lucy's hand, "Yes I understand I have, but you also must understand, Loke isn't like we are, and if he promises me that he won't tell anyone then that's a verbal binding contract he isn't allowed to break"

" I see, I understand that you have come back because of Agent Jinks being MIA, and that you can feel the connection to him, this is why I'm here Agent Donovan, to explain the second effect, myself and the Regents didn't know about until after you had left. Agent Jinks had come to us about feeling pains out of the blue and even a shattered rib that caused him to be out of field work for a month. The first thing that sprung to our minds was the Metronome, and what our results showed us when looking into this matter was quite…. Informative."

She walked to the chair next to Lucy and Pete straight away stood up just as Artie was walking through the door. "We discovered two things, since we had a copy of your DNA On files, we ran it up against Agent Jinks, first was that your blood was a match to his."

All three males mouths dropped, especially Artie's it was to his knowledge that Lucy was only a blood match to two other people he knew, two people he believed to be her older siblings. Looking over to the Stellar mage she was frozen he could see in slow motion that the coffee in her hand was about to drop to the floor.

"Wha….WHAT? J…Jinksy….is my what?" the woman nodded as she sat down in the chair, "He's your older brother Claudia, or should I even call you that name? After all it was only a false one you gave to us."

Taking in a few deep breaths, Loke had to take the hot drink out of his masters hand, she quickly gripped onto her chest closing her eye's, "What do you mean False name?" Artie spoke up, they all looked to him and the African woman just smirked slightly.

"Why Claudia was just a false name to hid the fact she was a runaway Artie, after all ever since she's been here after leaving us haven't you noticed the resemblance Claudia has to one of our previous agents?" once them words was spoken from Mrs Fredrick's mouth, Artie had to sit down, his head nodding, "I thought it was her the moment she was in Leena's but I had received word that she was dead."

"Wait… whoa what in the name of Marvis are you both talking about?" Lucy stood up as she began to pace the floor slightly rubbing her temples. "Your mother Claudia, Layla Heartfilia she was one of my best agents here at Warehouse 13 before she fell in love with Jude and when she was pregnant with you, she moved back to Fiora with him," them words made the blonde drop to her knees, there was just too much information to process but now she understood why her and Steve was both drawn to the Warehouse, her mother had been an agent.

"My mother was a warehouse agent…my older brother is my best friend," she began clenching her fists, "And someone's hurting him, them…BASTARDS! Are going to pay! No one hurts my Kin!" she opened her eyes and they was glowing gold slightly with a silver sliver through the Iris, like a dragon or lizards eye. Loke could feel the power growing around the air and walked closer to the stellar mage.

"Lucy… you need to calm down, you know if you lose control for a second your new powers could hurt someone you don't mean too, We will get Jinksy back I promise we will…. Laxus is out looking for him right now. Along with Gray and Pete's mate." He placed a gentle hand on her cheek and instantly she calmed down, her eye's went back to the honey brown colour she touched his with her right hand and Artie noticed the guild mark, it kinda looked like a pink bird to him but he ignored it. "I want him here now Loke…. I can feel his pain…. He's really hurt and I'm stuck here fixing gramps mistakes! I want him to come home!" he just pulled her into a hug, stroking her golden hair.

Loke turned his head around the room noticing that Artie didn't know what to do, Mrs Fredrick had disappeared and Pete was trying to keep himself in check, he wanted to help so badly, and that's what he was going to do. Standing up he made his way across the room, "Claud? or should I say…..Lady Lucy…. Loke told me all about your Zodiac spirits, can't Gemini come out and finish up the grid while we look for Steve?" Lucy's eye's widened, she hadn't thought about that, standing up with new determination, she took out a second gold key, "Open! Gate of the twins! Gemini!" Two blue little people appeared from the ray of gold star dust, floating straight into Lucy's arms, "P…princess! We….we could feel your sadness!" one spoke, "what can we do to help?" The second one spoke, a gentle smile appeared on her face and she kissed both their foreheads, "could you turn into me and continue with some of the work I started?" in a poof of smoke, a second Lucy appeared in nothing but a….

"In my clothing! Not my bath towel!" she shook her head as Pete begun laughing "wow… can't you get a longer bath towel Claud? I can almost see your….OUCH!" he felt a whack on the back of his head, and the original Lucy looking angry. "Pervert!" she turned to Artie, "Gemini won't leave until her work is complete with the grid, if I find out that you've been rude or disrespect them will hunt you down Artie" with that Lucy and the two men ran out of the warehouse.

Artie stood up and walked over to Gemini, he gently poked her arm "Claudia will definatly be the end of me…." Gemini sat down at the computer processing everything then turned to him, "I'll have this finished within the hour Mr Artie! Leave it to me! Mini!"

South Dakota – Outskirts of Univille opposite direction to the warehouse

After spending most of 2 hours walking in the heat of South Dakota the team of 3 had sat down on some rocks while taking a sip of water, "Are you sure you caught Steve's scent in this direction?" Myka spoke, wiping her forehead with the back of her hand, then looked around the vast amount of orange sand, "Positive woman, A Dragon Slayers nose is very sensitive, and that foul smell of whatever he drinks is coming from that direction" He pointed to where a large mountain was in the distance.

Gray took Myka's bottled water as he noticed it was warm and used some of his magic to cool it down slightly before handing it back "Thanks, so what are we to do? Follow it or head back and let them know we have a lead?"

Looking up at the sky Gray's eye's scrunched slightly, "I think we should follow the scent, if I remember correctly, the scent maybe here now but if we come back to this part later, the scent maybe gone, or that's what Natsu told us it's always better to follow the scent while it's fresh."

He looked over to Laxus and noticed that the blonde dragon slayer nodded agreeing with him, all morning the two had been butting heads but he was actually quite surprised that Laxus was agreeing with him for once. "ice pop is right, I can't guarantee that his scent will be here later, and there is too many people here at the moment for me to teleport over there so we will have to walk it."

Myka nodded and took out her mobile phone "What about me calling Claud to let her know?" Laxus shook his head, "won't work…. I may have damaged her phone two days ago in the car coming to this town, I got mad at that stupid bird game on her phone and zapped the phone destroying it."

Myka ran a hand through her curly hair, placing the phone in her back pocket, "Pete will be stalling at the Dub so that's pointless, and Artie's numbers blocked, Pete has my Farnsworth so I can't contact them that way so, the only other option is to go with your plan Laxus, we will take 10 more minutes before going that far, Gray? Can you fill our bottles with ice so that way when we are walking they melt into water?"

Gray grinned "Of course I can, bet your glad I followed Lucy now?" Myka smiled and nodded while hearing the growl coming from the blonde slayer, "So you explained to me how all this dragon slayer magic works and you can get it from being trained by a dragon or having a Lacrima implanted in you, so is Claudia a Dragon slayer too?"

Laxus shook his head, confusing Gray, he had only known the stellar mage being just that "she's one above us Lady, Blondie learned God Slayer magic 2 months ago" jumping up from his rock Gray's mouth was hanging open, "GOD SLAYER!, where the hell did she learn that?"

Before the blonde could answer a familiar voice spoke behind them, "LAXUS! You was supposed to let me tell him! Yes Gray I learned Celestial God Slayer magic from the Celestial king, but I'm not explaining anything more than that."

They turned to see Lucy stood there, Loke at her side and Pete stood behind them hands on his knees panting, "I'm getting too old to keep up with teenagers." Loke just grinned, "I'm centuries old Pete," "Awe come on!"

"Blondie I thought you had work to do on that guide?" rolling her brown eye's to her mate she walked up to him, "The grid, and I left it in the hands of Gemini Who's probably having fun giving Artie weird riddles. I followed your scent all the way to here, and I'm guessing the reason why we are here is the smell of that Peru Tea Jinksy keeps drinking?"

They all nodded and her eye's hardened looking up towards the mountain in the distance, "I can sense him, his pains also getting worse, but I can feel something else there… Sadness…confusion and Fear… who ever has him, is making him feel these things." The dragon slayer nodded watching his mate rub her chest slightly.

"I can feel it too, for some reason I can feel it also, must be our bond but, why did I feel shock from you earlier?" Gray and Myka looked between them, then to the two males that had followed Lucy, but noticed they wasn't talking. "The second downside to the Metronome, even after destroyed it opens a connection between ….blood relatives, Mrs F dropped by and explained it to us, According to her Steve's my biological older brother… and now I have this information…."

They all noticed her eye's switch from honey brown to gold and silver, "there will be blood spilled…."

Without a second thought, Laxus stood up thrusting his plastic bottle in the bin, then looked to Gray then Lucy, "save your magic then because I have a feeling that whatever has your Kin, isn't human. I can smell it," Lightening cracked round his muscular arms, while you could feel the air get slightly colder around Gray, "Well this makes Jinksy an official member of Fairy tail….and you know what that means?" He cracked his knuckles, the fairy tail wizards nodded "actually we don't…" Pete regretted asking that question because when they turned their heads to him, a dark shadow casting over each mages eye's, including Lucy's who's was the darkest.

"they will be getting a Fairy Tail thank you" that made the man shiver, as they all began heading out towards the mountain.

1 hour later

Driven by nothing but pure determination, the team of 6 was standing outside what looked like a rundown petrol station. Raising her nose up into the air Lucy sniffed, "This is where Steve is….. it smells like his bloods all over the place."

Her shoulders began to tremble slightly, Myka went to put a hand on the girl but once she saw how sharp Lucy's teeth was, she went against the idea, both her and Pete pulled their guns out of the holsters, "Put them away, you both are staying out here with Loke, Laxus was right this person in there isn't human. I can sense the immense amount of dark magic coming from this place." "But Claud…" "No but's Pete! For once you will listen to my orders! This place could blow up the second one of us release any magic, it's a Petrol station! One spark of Laxus magic could instantly spell BOOM!"

"then what are we to do?" Gray cocked his head to the side, "Keep look out, there could be more than one mage, and if there is…. Loke can protect you, but you can also give us a warning with those guns in your hands, just fire a round and one of us will come to you" Laxus gave a slight nod agreeing, he was about to speak but Lucy couldn't hold back, she ran forward into the Petrol station, "JINKSY!"

Petrol station – basement

Steve was laid on his side eye's clenched while a foot was making contact with his ribs, a sickening grin on the man's face, "I can hear her….. I can sense her, She'll come running if she can feel you in pain."

He gave one more kick to the ribs feeling the 2 of them shatter beneath his foot, "You humans are pathetic, you don't even hold 2% of strength that a mage holds, and even that's not close to the strength to what I hold!"

Steve looked up to see the man's hand glowing red slightly, "I wonder if she'll scream if I brand you…." In an instant the palm lit up with red flames,"

He could feel the heat coming off the flames as they came closer, he closed his eyes, expecting them to hit, but something happened, he felt nothing but cold air and the words "CELESTIAL SPHERE!" enter his ears, that voice! It was so familiar. Opening his eye's, there stood in very revealing clothing was the blonde woman from the photo he saw on the file, his eye's widened he could faintly see the outline of a green sphere surrounding around them.

"Ahhhh, the lady we've all been waiting for!" the man spoke, showing off his rather sharp teeth, the woman lowered the sphere, and knelt down to Steve untying the rope, her honey brown eye's looked him over, he could see they held sadness but also anger, "I'm sorry it took so long Jinksy… just hang in there a little longer while I kill this bastard." She sat him up gently.

"Claudia…. You're…." she shook her head and gave him a gentle smile, "don't talk, Pete and Myka are just outside, Your safe now I promise." "But Claudia! He's going to!"

Lucy stood up, a gold Aura glowing around her body "I know, but he can't do shit to me, After all He's only a spirit." She turned back to the man, who was grinning, "well you're smarter than what I thought, how could you tell?"

"Because you bastard! I'm a celestial mage! I could sense the familiarity in your magic, and you smell like the Spirit world! If you thought you could trick me then you're wrong! I trained in the Celestial world every chance I got underneath the King, I also learned that there was one spirit that was out casted because the King forbid him to have a relationship with humans. That said spirit went Rogue betraying the king and severally injuring several spirits and humans" she opened her eyes, they had fully turned gold.

"One of them humans happened to be my mother, the very same woman you fell in love with! Now you attack my older brother! After I beat you to the point that your wishing for Death! I'll seal you back into the key that you originally came from! That's a promise!"

The man couldn't help but grit his teeth, "You're lying! You can't have my key!" Closing her eye's, she brought out a blood red key from her brown leather pouch, "I think I do, you see, i've been searching for you, for two months after the Spirit king spoke to me about you and your actions, he would personally like to punish you! But not before I do…IFRIT!"

With that the aura grew more, making Lucy look exactly what her magic says, A God!
