The brown hair male hopped from the window and down to the ground across from Lucy, folding his arms, "Is that really all you got?" Luke asked, shaking his head with a taunting smirk forming across his lips.
Lucy scowled as soon as she recognized him, standing up with her hands on her hips, "What are you doing here, Luke?" She asked demandingly, "This is an S Class mission, and as far as I remember, you aren't an S Class mage!"
"Relax, Lucy," Luke said while shrugging, "The others will be here soon, I just decided to step ahead." As Luke spoke, the blonde haired thunder mage morphed into a thunderbolt and attempted to attack Luke from behind, but Luke saw such a ruse coming. Luke quickly pivoted on his foot 45 degrees and elbowed the dark mage in the nose, causing the mage to stumble back, eventually losing his footing and falling on his back.
"And why did you take this job in particular?" Lucy huffed, not buying that Luke came along with others, reaching over, and picking up the key that knocked out of her hand.
"Word spreads around quickly, don't you know?" Luke gave a semi toothy grin, "We heard Titania was defeated. Of course, we know you Fairies don't go down without a fight. Therefore, the others and I decided it would be a good idea to show just how strong we are by taking down the ones who defeated the legendary Titania. Of course, we expected a particular group of people to appear here, and surprise, here you are."
Lucy scoffed, moving her head to the left as the Dark Mage attempted to blindside her, then threw a Lucy Kick to the male's abdomen, causing him to stumble back.
"You look like you're having a difficult time, would you care for some help?" Lucy offered, his tone sounding as though he didn't really care either way.
"I don't need your help!" Lucy shouted, glaring at the brown haired mage with distain. While these two were bickering, the dark mage was looking back and forth between them. The attention was completely off of him; it felt like he didn't even matter right now.
"Am I interrupting something!?" He asked, annoyed. But he was ignored.
"I was just offering. I do not think you see what this situation is. You see, I'm on a job, along with a few others. Our mission is to take that guy," He pointed to the blonde haired dark mage, "Surge, I believe, down. Now, it does not matter if you want my assistance or not. Either it be by tag team, you, or me, this guy is going down. I'll gladly take the both of you myself, because we already know you can't beat me, amigo."
Lucy growled; Luke's comment about being unable to beat him got under her skin, "I'll show you how strong I am!" She pointed her key around, a bright glow appearing on the tip, "Open the gate of the Ram! Aries!" A magic circle appeared briefly as one of Lucy's Celestial Spirits, Aries, appeared, shifting around nervously.
"I-I'll do my best!" Aries nodded, bending over as she stuck her hands out, "Wool Bomb!" A could of pink, fluffy wool surrounded Surge, putting him into a state of comfort as Aries vanished.
"Wha...!?" Surge struggled for a little bit. But his resistence was futile, because the cloud of wool was too comfortable for him to want to leave. "This is...pretty nice."
"…D-Did she really have to bend over to do that?" Luke coughed awkwardly.
"…" Lucy didn't respond, instead she was focusing on getting another key ready, "Gate of the-"
Before Lucy could respond, Luke had already jumped forward, puffing his cheeks out, "Roar of the Ice Flame Dragon!" He combined two different Dragon Roars into a funnel of brilliant flames and glorious ice, the dual roar striking Surge while on the comforting fluff, a large explosion rocking the room as a smoke cloud formed.
"I said I didn't need any help!" Lucy blared out, completely enraged at Luke for his intervention.
"And I said I was on a job," Luke replied calmly. He looked over as the smoke cleared, noticing that Surge was down for the count, "Huh. Looks like I two hit KO'ed him…"
"I was the one who trapped him with Aries!" Lucy shouted out angrily, Luke's simplest attitude towards him getting under her skin too much.
"You trapping him didn't matter," Luke, added in, smirking, "You only hit him with what, a simple kick? That probably didn't do any damage either…"
"Okay you know what!" Lucy clenched her teeth, "You wanna go right now!? I'll take you down!" She and Luke were forehead to forehead, Lucy growling, Luke smirking.
"Yes, I'd love to take you down once again, but…" Luke back away, looking around, "Don't you have friends who are fighting too?"
"Ah…!" Lucy's eyes widened, "Natsu! Gray…Erza, Wendy!"
"I thought so…" Luke started to walk off, "Me and my team will just take the rest of these guys out and you guys can go home. Besides, can you guys even be trusted to handle this? Last I heard, the Celestial Spirits went out to control recently, right? Eclipsed or something? Seems a bit unoriginal if you ask me." He shrugged his shoulders.
Lucy gripped Luke by the back of his shirt, scowling, "No way," She said in a low voice, "These guys hurt Erza…, and it's our job to make sure they pay for it! We handled the Eclipsed Spirits, and we didn't need your "help" for that, and we don't need it now either!"
Luke stopped, Lucy's grip a bit tighter than he expected. For a moment, he paused. "I see what you mean, but…I'm on a job, and it's our job to make sure these guys are brought down. I don't think the others will care much if you guys have a personal vendetta against these mages or not."
"Don't get in Fairy Tail's way, Luke," Lucy demanded.
"Don't get in our way either, Lucy," Luke escaped from Lucy's grip, walking out of the room. Lucy followed him, just to make sure he would not interfere.
