Hikari and Lucy were standing in front of Loke.
"Loke...you don't have long left to live now, do you? How long have you been here?"
"I've been here for three years."
"Three yea- Loke, why can't you go back?"
"I told you, I murdered Karen!"
"Give us the full story!"

When Loke explained how he "killed" Karen, he began to fade.
"And now...it is time for me to go."
"Loke, no!" Hikari ran up to Loke.
"Hikari! I'm going to die! There's nothing you can do! It's the rule of the Spirit World! And you're beginning to fade away with me!"
"I don't care! I'll find a way to save you, Loke!"
"There's no way!"
"Loke!" Lucy cried, hugging Loke with Hikari.
"Lucy! Hikari! No! Let go!"
"If that's the rule of the Celestial Spirit World, we're going to change it!" Lucy and Hikari yelled as loud as they possibly could.
Suddenly...
The Celestial Spirit King showed up! Lucy and Hikari took a step back.
"Whoa...Celestial Spirit King...what did we just get ourselves into?" Hikari could barely think or speak.
"Old friend. You broke a law of the Celestial Spirit World. You can no longer return!"
"Hold on!" Hikari shouted. "He didn't break any laws! What happened with Karen was an accident!"
"Accident or not, he still broke the law."
"That's stupid, mustache man! And you call yourself a king!"
"Yeah!" Lucy stepped in. "He told us what he did for his friend Aries!"
Suddenly, all of Lucy's Spirits appeared.
"Unbelievable!" Hikari said. "All your gates open at once!"
"It's no sin to have feelings for your friends!" Lucy cried. "If you fade away and die, everyone will be sad! Me, Hikari, Aries...everyone will be saddened!"
Hikari and Loke could only stare. Lucy looked like she was ready to collapse.
"Old friend, maybe it is the law that's in error. Very well! You can go back to the Spirit World on one condition: you'll be your friend Lucy's Celestial Spirit."
"Yay!" Hikari cheered. I'm happy...for Lucy. I wish I were a Celestial Spirit mage too, but no. I'm just a water mage! Still, hooray! Loke's not going to die!"
"You're not so bad, mustache man!" Lucy said.
The Celestial Spirit King grinned.

"Celestial Spirit?" Gray asked.
Loke, Hikari, and Lucy were at the guild hall.
"Yeah. He's Leo the Lion."
"Lion! An adult cat!" That was Happy.
"Yeah."
"Hey, Lucy, Hikari. I wanted to thank you." Loke said.
"Oh, you don't have to- oh!"
"Lucy, Hikari, Erza, Natsu, Gray...and you too, Happy. Tickets for Akane Resort!"
"Yay!"
Time froze. I'm going to a resort! I can't wait! I don't wanna go back to the "real" world now but I have to!
