Chapter 23

"Now this is what I call a boss battle," Felix commented as he prepared to attack. Suddenly the Beast unleashed a massive shock wave that sent everyone flying back. Okay...I shouldn't say anything about this anymore..., Felix thought as he got to his feet.

"Let's go Juvia," Gray shouted as he and her were the first on their feet. "Go for the other arm," Gray continued as he prepared to attack.

"Yes my dear Gr-," Juvia was interrupted when the Beast fired a red beam, vanishing from her spot.

"Juvia," Lucy screamed as she saw that nothing was left.

"Look, in the sky," Felix shouted pointing up. The others looked and Felix continued, "She became a constellation!"

"Cana! Mira! Watch out," Erza shouted, but was too late as they also appeared in the sky.

"Crap this ain't good," Felix commented as he glanced to how many of them were left.

"Felix watch out," Lucy shouted.

"Hu-" Felix was interrupted by the red beam.

Looking towards the sky, the group didn't see Felix appear, then Lucy asked, "What? Where did he go."

"Right...here...," Felix answered as he appeared from the ground.

"You Ice Clone didn't you," Gray asked as he approached Felix.

"Ice Clone for the win," Felix replied as he regained his breath. "That was close thoug-Lily watch out," Felix shouted as he pointed in the direction of the beam.

"Cra-" Lily uttered before joining the others in the sky.

"Lily," Gajeel shouted as he saw Lily appear in the sky. "I'm gonn-"

"Gajeel watch out," Levy shouted as she shoved him out of the way, sacrificing herself.

"Levy," Lucy shouted.

"Lily and Levy," Gajeel uttered. "You just made this personal," he continued as he clenched his fists.

Seeing Gajeel about to charge, Felix grabbed him and said, "Calm down Gajeel!"

"No, he got Lily and Levy," Gajeel replied as he attempted to break free. "I'm gonna make him pay!"

"Rushing ahead and getting blasted won't help," Felix responded as he tightened his grip. The Beast released another blast, causing Felix to throw Gajeel to the side then dodge. Looking towards the sky to see if the attack hit anyone, Felix commented, "Crap." The attack managed to hit Wendy, Carla, Yukino, and Arcadios.

"Everyone be on your guard," Erza ordered as she and the others approached the Beast.

Suddenly the Beast began sucking up its surrounding. "Can't guard against that," Felix commented as he latched onto the ground with his Ice God's Hook.

"Ahahaha," Lucy screamed as she lost her footing and was flying towards the Beast.

"Lucy grab on," Felix shouted as he shot another hook towards her. "NO," he screamed when his hook couldn't reach.

"I got her," Natsu shouted as he and Happy swooped in on time to save Lucy.

"Thanks Natsu," Lucy said as they landed. "I'll go for the feet," Lucy said as she took out her whip.

"And we'll go for the head," Natsu replied as he and Happy flew upwards.

Both attacks failed when the Beast shot out mysterious green substance towards the Mages. "Watc-" Felix began to shout, but was hit by the green substance. The others suffered the same fate.

"That's weird," Natsu said as he got to his feet.

"What is it," Felix groaned as he slowly got up.

"I picked up Loke's and the others' scent in that green goo," Natsu explained.

"So you're saying they're still alive in there," Gray questioned.

"Could be the case," Erza commented.

"Whatever the case we've got to do something," Lucy added.

"Well then Happy and I are gonna need an opening," Natsu said as Happy grabbed him.

"Oh I can give you an opening," Felix replied as he gave a smirk.

"You got something," Gajeel questioned.

"Yeah, but I've never done it before, but hey nothing ventured nothing gained right," Felix replied as his smirk grew wider.

"Why do I have a bad feeling about this," Lucy commented.

"Anyway, what is the plan," Erza asked.

"I'll go into Ascend Mode and fire a giant Ice Arrow when the Beast opens its mouth," Felix answered. "All these two have to do is follow behind it and hopefully they'll make it inside."

"Sounds risky," Gray commented.

"It's all we've got and I like it," Natsu said as he clenched a fist.

I've never used this spell before and I don't know how much magical energy it will cost, but I've got to do something to help us win, Felix thought. "Alright everyone, but Natsu and Happy spread out, I'm gonna get that thing's attention," Felix ordered as he casted his spell.

Ascension!

Now in his Ascended Form, Felix shouted, "HEY BIG AND UGLY!" The Beast turned its head towards Felix as he continued, "YEAH YOU. I'VE GOT SOMETHING TO SAY." The Beast tilted its head as Felix shouted, "NO NEED TO WONDER WHERE YOU GOD IS! CAUSE HE'S RIGHT HERE AND HE'S SENDING YOU BACK TO WHATEVER HOLE YOU CAME FROM!"

Angered by Felix's words, the Beast began to open its mouth. "Whoa Felix, since when did you have a second form," Natsu asked.

"Seriously, you didn't noti-never mind, now is not the time," Felix replied as he readied to cast his spell. "Get ready guys, here it comes," Felix shouted as the Beast fired.

Ascended God's Enchanted Ice Arrow!

Firing the giant Ice Arrow, Felix shouted, "GO NOW!"

"Let's go Happy," Natsu shouted as they propelled forward.

"Aye," Happy replied as he flew right behind the giant Ice Arrow.

Seeing the Arrow cut through the Beast's attack, Lucy shouted, "Nice one Felix, now get out of the way!"

"That's the pl-" Felix paused as he couldn't move. Ah crap, just as I thought. That spell took a lot out of me and now I'm done for, Felix thought. Seeing his attack hit the Beast as Natsu and Happy flew in, Felix thought before the Beast's beam hit him, The rest is up to you Natsu.

"Felix no," Lucy shouted as she saw Felix disappear and joined the others in the sky.

"Crap," Gray commented as he and the others prepared to attack.

"Salamander," Gajeel shouted. "Give it hell!"

Several hours later: Fairy Tail Guild: Infirmary Room

Opening his eyes, Felix was confused and still dazed. Where am I, he thought as he glanced around the room. Looks like the guild's infirmary room, he continued as he sat up. As usual I end up in a bed somewhere and no one is h-, Felix paused as he felt someone grab his hand. Looking downwards he saw Lucy, who was asleep on the side of his bed. Lucy...you waited for me, Felix thought as his face turned red. I sure know how to pick th- Felix paused as the door was flown open by the others entering.

"Yo Felix you awake yet," Natsu shouted as he entered.

"He will be now with you yelling," Gray shouted back.

"Both of you be quiet, Felix needs his re- oh look at that," Erza said as they approached Felix's bed to see him sitting up. "Maybe your yelling did wake him up."

"See Gray," Natsu gloated.

"Oh shut up," Gray snapped.

Chuckling Felix responded, "Hey guys. So I'm guessing we won?"

"Hell yeah we did," Natsu replied.

"Huh," Lucy uttered as she woke up. "What's with all the shouting," she continued as she rubbed her eyes.

"Morning 'Princess'," Felix commented.

"Felix," Lucy exclaimed as she hugged him. "You're awake," she continued as she let go.

"Yeup and the others were about to explain what happened after I got beamed," Felix replied. Lucy nodded and sat down as the others explained. "So I guess it's a happy ending," Felix commented.

"Yeah it is," Natsu commented.

"Alright everyone, let's let Felix get some rest," Erza said as she began heading towards the door. The others followed and said goodbye.

"See ya later everyone," Felix replied as everyone left.

"I'll see you back at the apartment," Lucy said as she smiled and closed the door.

Several hours later, Felix exited the Infirmary and headed back to the apartment. Well tomorrow is a new day with possibly a new and weird adventure, Felix thought while chuckling. I really hope nothing weird happens tomorrow...I want it just to be a normal day where I can spend with Lucy and the othe-, Felix paused as he sensed someone was following him. Forming his Claymore, Felix said, "If you don't want be sliced and diced then I suggest you show yourself now."

"Geez bro calm down," a young short spikey blonde haired man announced as he appeared from the shadows.

"You," Felix commented at the man who was tall as Rogue and had the body build of Natsu. "You never see me unless it's really important."

"It's more urgent than important," a young wavy chestnut haired woman replied as she appeared.

"Figured you be with him," Felix responded to the woman who was tall as Lisanna and had the chest of Kagura. "You follow Maverick where ever he goes. Don't ya, Artemis," he continued as the two approached him.

"Shut up," Artemis snapped as her face turned red.

"Anyway," Maverick interrupted. "We need your help bro," he continued as he brought out a flier.

Taking a look, Felix commented, "Your guild is requesting my help? Why?"

"Cause we need a God Slayer and oh guess what, my brother is one," Maverick replied.

"Please Felix, not just for our guild, but also as Clan Members," Artemis pleaded.

Sighing, Felix replied, "Fine... how long will it take?"

"Sweet and about two months top," Maverick replied with joy.

"TWO MONTHS," Felix questioned. "Why would taking out one rogue god take two months?"

"Oh forgot to mention, we'll also have to take out his followers and minions," Maverick replied.

"Then I re-"

"No take backs bro," Maverick interrupted.

"What? Of course I can tak-"

"Come on bro. Just one time for me," Maverick pleaded.

"Ugh...fine," Felix replied. "Let's get going then," Felix continued as he followed the two.

"Alright," Maverick exclaimed as he leaped for joy. "We've got this! Team FAME is back!"

"Wait did he say 'FAME'," Felix questioned.

"Oh yeah, Edith is waiting for us," Artemis replied.

"Great," Felix replied sarcastically. The things I do for the ones I hold dear...

The next day, the Fairy Tail guild was curious and worried of Felix's sudden disappearance. "Where could he have gone," Erza questioned.

"Maybe he decided to go somewhere to train," Natsu commented.

"He would have let us know if he had done that," Gray replied.

"Felix," Lucy mumbled. Where could you have gone...you still have your promise to keep, she thought as she glanced out the window.

"Don't worry Lucy," Levy said as she sat next to her. "Where ever Felix is I'm sure he is there for a reason," she continued.

"Yeah, Levy is right," Happy added.

"Felix is a Fairy Tail member so where ever he is I'm sure is doing okay," Erza commented.

"Yeah, I'm sure he'll be back soon," Lucy replied as she smiled. Hurry back Felix. So you can keep your promise and so I can yell at you for leaving without letting me know.

Bedrock City, Northern Fiore: Location of the magical guild Diamondback

Feeling a cold chill down his spine, Felix thought, Why do I have a bad feeling, that after I'm done with this something worse is gonna happen...
