A Star Removed From The Sky:
"You think you can get away from me, think again, 'Creation Magic: Puppet Master'!" Gold strings disperse from Alec's fingers and attach themselves on the limbs of 14 dark wizards. "What the heck are these things?" One said, "Hey I can't move!" Another cried out. "What did you do to us?" A different one said.
Alec smirks, and with a glint in his eyes he devilishly says, "Now dance you bastards dance!" With a loud cackle Alec crosses his arms and moves his fingers as pairs of seven are created in a second and start dancing the tango with each other. "Umm Alec, are you alright?" Happy questions.
"Of course I am, I'm just having a little fun with these guys before handing them over to the authorities later." Alec states. "Suuurrre… anyway are you almost done I really want to get some fish." Happy says. "When do you not want fish. Also why'd you want to come with me instead of Natsu?" Alec questions. "We had a fight about what food was better and-" Happy get cut off when Alec holds up his hand. "Stop right there Happy, I don't need to know anymore." Alec says.
"Umm, Alec." Happy starts to speak. "I think those guys are about to pass out." Happy says pointing at the dark wizards. "Huh, and here I thought they'd last a bit longer. Oh well, I guess we'll head back to town." Alec states, Happy's eyes beam in excitement as he puts up his paw and says, "Aye sir!"
…
Spa town Hosenka:
"Okay Happy, you've had your fish now let's go." Alec says, "But, but, can I just have one more." Happy asks. "No!" Alec picks Happy up by the scruff and begins walking out of the restaurant. "Hey, hey don't assault me." Happy exclaims squirming around. Alec sweat drops as he says, "Do you even know what that means?"
Happy pauses then replies, "No, but Lucy says stuff like that a lot so I figured it'd work here." Alec is dumbfounded by this and releases Happy. "No, it doesn't apply here and also I'm pretty sure Natsu would kill whoever does try to assault you or any one for that matter." Happy tilts his head in confusion. "I'm not going to be the one to give you the talk because I don't know your biology Happy, and that's Natsu's job, not mine, understood." Alec states as he then turns to walk away. "That doesn't explain anything at all!" Happy complains then flies after the dragon.
Not long after the two run into team Natsu on their way back from a job. "Hey Alec, what are you doing here?" Grey asks, "I just got done with a job, Happy came along with, as you can see." Alec gestures to the blue cat behind him.
Happy looks away from the group with a pouting face saying 'you've betrayed my trust'. "Hey Happy, are you gonna keep sulking or are you going to greet everyone?" Alec asked. "You can tell Natsu, I'm not going to talk to him again." Happy states. "Well you can tell Happy-" Natsu gets cut off by Alec saying, "Okay but what about the others? What did they do to deserve the silent treatment?"
Happy tenses up before slowly looking at the group. "I'm sorry, I'm just mad at Natsu. Can you forgive me." Happy asks. "Sure thing man." Grey states, "Of course." Both Lucy and Erza say, Natsu just grumbles in the background. "Natsu, I get you two don't always agree about things. But are you really going to let food ruin your relationship with Happy?" Alec asks, Natsu sighs and walks over to Happy.
"Hey buddy, how about we go get some fish.", "I don't hear you, Lalalalala!" Happy covers his ears. "Now that's a shame I was going to let you have as much as you want." Natsu says. "Happy removes his paws from his ears and looks at Natsu with wide eyes. "As many as I want…"
"Yup, you happy about that." Natsu says with a smile. "Of course, who else would I be?" Happy replies with a smile. The duo then walk away from the group and towards the area filled with restaurants where Happy and Alex just came from. "I'm glad they made up." Lucy says with a smile. "Indeed." Erza adds.
"Well I don't know about any of you, and I honestly don't care. But I'm going to walk around then head over to where I'm staying for the night so I'll see you all later." Alec says, he then begins walking off waving goodbye to the Fairy Tail wizards.
…
Alec arrives at the Inn he's staying at and checks in at the front desk. He's then led to the room he'll be staying at for the night by a hostess. "Please enjoy your stay here, and feel free to enjoy our complimentary bath house filled by the natural hot spring. Have a good night sir." She says and then walks away from Alec.
"Well I'm beat, I think I'm gonna go to sleep a little early." Alec says as he stretches his arms. He goes inside the room closing the door behind him, as he makes his way to the futon on the floor he hears what sounds like Natsu down the hall. He starts getting a bad feeling before taking a deep breath and reminding himself, "It's not my problem what happens, it's there's, just ignore it and go to sleep."
As Alec lays down on the Futon and covers himself with the quilt provided he closes his eyes. But ten minutes later he begins hearing what sounds like a war zone, "What the heck is going on?" Alec thought as he sits up opening his eyes. Just then a pillow breaks through the wall, Alec hesitates for a moment before looking through the hole in the wall to see Erza, Grey and Natsu holding pillows staring back at him through two rooms away.
"I'm done with this…" and with a snap of Alec's fingers he says, 'Creation Magic: Bind' the three wizards are then bound in place by the shadows but also the shadows are covering their mouths so they can't make a sound.
"Now with this, you all won't cause anymore trouble." Alec says, he then extends his arm out to the path of holes in the walls, 'Creation Magic: Repair'. The holes then patch up like nothing happened in the first place, Alec then walks out of the room and heads outside for a walk to clear his mind of what he just witnessed.
Alec then walks into a world renowned restraunt called Super Express and sits at a nearby table only to see Lucy and Loki hugging by the bar. Alec starts walking over to them and hears, "I don't have long to live…" come from Loki, Lucy's eyes widen in shock, "You what?" She says softly. "And here I thought the guy wouldn't tell anyone till he vanished, Especially a celestial wizard." Alec thought, Loki releases the hug then looks at Lucy, "What's that supposed to mean?" Lucy asks. Loki avoids eye contact for a moment then begins to laugh. "I sure fooled you, but it sure makes a pretty good pickup line doesn't it. Pulls at the heartstrings every time, you should've seen your face, ha classic." he chuckles, he the receives a slap from Lucy, "You jerk… Jeeze I totally believed you!" Lucy shouts, she walks away from him grabbing Happy and Plu, and proceeds outside. "You're quite the terrible spirit to be doing this Leo." Alec states, Loki flinches before he turns around to see Alec with his arms crossed and a serious expression on his face.
"It's best if they all forget or hate me, I'm going to disappear anyway. You're spell only did so much, it won't prevent me from disappearing from this world through." He states somberly. "I know, but I think instead of trying to push everyone away you should cherish the remaining time you have left with them and give them a proper goodbye. Otherwise they'll search everywhere for you in vein, just something to think about. You'll regret it otherwise, even if you cease to exist." Alec suggests before heading out the same door as Lucy.
…
Next day:
Everyone has returned to the guild with Natsu and Grey staring daggers at Alec who's just sitting at the bar resting his head. "Why'd Alec have to ruin our fun, it was just a pillow fight?" Grey states. "Yeah, I was so close to beating you all too." Natsu claims. "No you weren't flame brain, I was!" Grey says. "No, it was clearly me!" Natsu continues. The two rivals then break out into a fight creating a dust cloud like normal. But quickly end in a stale mate and turn to Lucy sitting at the bar and yelled in unison, "Lucy, I'm the one who won right?" Lucy turns around with a dark aura and says, "Shut it you two."
"Awa sorry!" They both say scared of the blonde for the first time. "Wow, and I thought Erza was the only one who could keep those two in line." Mira says not far from the bar, Elfman standing next to her nods in agreement.
"Hey Lucy, what's the matter? You've been quiet since you got here." Alec says looking at the blonde. "Nothings wrong I'm always like this." She replies taking another bite from her stew, Happy walks across the counter towards her. "Is it because of the Plu thing I did?" Happy questions. "Plu thing?" Alec responds, "No it's not, besides I'd never hold a grudge because of a stupid prank." Lucy says. "Is it Loki then?" Alec asks, Lucy looks at him shocked that he knew.
"Can you read minds too?" She asked the dragon. "No, I can't. But I was in the restaurant when all that went down, and based on what I heard it's understandable you'd be mad. Hell anyone would be after what he did." Alec states, he then senses a shift in magic from behind and glances behind and sees Loki behind some timber looking at his hand that temporarily disappeared. Alec grits his teeth and squeezes both hands into a fist, Lucy notices this and looks in the direction he is but Loki is gone. She turns back to Alec and asks, "Hey, are you alright?"
Alec relaxes his body before looking back at Lucy, "Yeah, there's just someone I know that's keeping a big secret from their friends for a stupid reason. I told them to spend what remaining time they had with them before what happens, happens but it seems they are going to ignore it. But it's not something for you to worry about." Alec says with a subtle smile.
A group of girls then gather at the other end of the bar where behind the counter Mira stands. "I've been looking all over for Loki! Where is he?" One of the four girls complains. "I can't believe he ran out on me." The second says. "What are you doing here huh?" The third asks the fourth. "I could ask you the same thing." The fourth retorts back.
"Loki come back!" The second girl shouts. "What's going on over there?" Lucy asks. "They're a bunch of girls from around town. From the looks of things, they all seem to think they're Loki's girlfriend." Happy says. "Well, Loki is a player so it's understandable. I feel pity for those humans in that regard." Alec adds.
All the girls begin to cry to Mira about how Loki broke up with them and they don't understand why. Mira then turns her head to look at the three sitting at the other end of the bar. "Lucy, Alec save me!" Mira shouts, Alec furrows his brow while Lucy simply looks horrified at the angry ladies approaching them.
"You're the one who stole Loki aren't you!" The first one convinced in her own statement says. "She looks like a tramp." The third says, "She thinks she's cute?" The fourth mocks in anger. "Don't tell me Loki's gonna marry her." The second says. "Ahhh, why'd you have to drag me into this Mira!" Lucy shouts as she runs away.
"Loki needs time to himself, its best if you don't search for him.", Alec says, "And what would you know, I bet you've never been in love like Loki and-" Alec grits his teeth and lovks eyes with the girl giving an ice cold glare. "Watch your mouth girl." Alec snaps, "You don't know anything about me, now all of you need to leave before I make you." Alec warns with a sharp cold tone. All the girls run away in a hurry, not wanting to provoke the dragon any further.
"Thank you Alec." Mira says, "Don't thank me, I found them quite annoying just being in my presence." Alec says coldly. "Regardless thank you." Mira says weakly with sadness in her eyes. Alec stands up from the stool and leaves the two girls by themselves.
…
Later that night:
Alec is in his dragon form in his cave in Magnolia Forest when he's approached by Loki. "Alec… I'm-" Loki gets cut off by Alec, "Leaving, I know. I saw your hand earlier, I'm disappointed you didn't say a proper goodbye to everyone and just quit without an explanation to them."
"I know, but I didn't know what I would've said to them in order to not have them worry." Loki explains, the cave was silent for a moment before Alec began to speak. "If you want I'll come with you and be by your side till you disappear." Loki smiles at the dragon.
"That would be nice if you could." Loki says, Alec transforms back into his human form and places a hand on Loki's shoulder. "Then let's go, it's been an honor knowing you Leo the lion."
…
The two arrive at a waterfall where a grave stone stands on a cliff leading to a point, with the Blue Pegasus crest on the stone with the name Karen Lilica inscribed on it. Loki looks down at the grave stone, "I'm here Karen, you can now watch me fade away from existence. It's what I deserve after what I did to you." Loki says, Alec stands there in silence and watches as a few minutes go by no words are spoken.
"There you two are." A voice says from behind, the two turn around to see Lucy making her way over. "Lucy…" Loki mutters. "The whole guilds looking for you both. That's Karen's grave isn't it." Lucy continues, Loki looks at her in shock only to look at Alec. "Wasn't me, you know I keep a secret even if I shouldn't keep something this important quitet." Alec defends putting his hands up.
Loki looks back at Lucy, "She was a great Celestial wizard, she had a contract with you right?" Lucy says, it went quiet after she said that before she continued. "The spirit Loki, no that's not really you name. Your name is Leo. Leo the Lion isn't it."
Alec looks at her in shock, "I guess not all humans are dense." He says. "To be honest I had no idea until we started talking recently and my own investigation, if we hadn't I'd never have known." Lucy says, she looks back to Loki and continues, "But still you should've come talked to me. Normally, whenever the owner of a gate key dies, the contract between spirit and wizard is terminated. The spirit is then forced back into their world, until their key falls into new hands and a new contract is made. You're contract with Karen should've ended the day she died. I don't understand why you're still here. I mean I've never heard of it before, it's just not supposed to work right?"
"Lucy, it seems you still have much to learn about celestial spirits." Alec says. "What do you mean?" She questions. "Leo isn't here because he wants to be, he's here because although it was for a good reason he broke celestial law." Alec states.
"What law was so bad that one day he's going to disappear!" Lucy yells in outrage. "It's been three years Lucy, I've been in your world for three exhaustingly long painful years." Loki says. "Three years! I didn't even think one was possible. Wait does that mean that you quitting the guild was because tonight you're…" Lucy looks to Alec and sees him nod.
"Pretty amazing huh." Loki weakly smiles, "Hold on there must be some way that I can save you! Why can't I just open a gate for you?" Lucy asks. "Lucy…" Alec begins to talk but is interrupted by Loki, "You don't need to save me."
"What do you mean, we need to do something or you're as good as dead!" Lucy exclaims. "Look there's no way I can go back." Loki states. "But why?"
"It's just as Alec said earlier, I broke a law that applies to both spirit and wizard. As a result I was banished from the Celestial world for eternity." Loki explains, "Loki, what'd you do?" Lucy questions.
"I can't deny my crime so I've no choice but to face the punishment. I'm a traitor to my own kind, I was contracted to Karen… But she died because I killed her."
