Enjoy!

Nashi stared at her brother, blinking a few times in confusion.

"Huh?" She asked. Luke grinned even wider.

"I want to fight you!" He repeated. "I've always wanted to go toe to toe with you, and this is my chance! What do you say?" Nashi wasn't sure what to say. She wasn't really in the mood to fight, and she wasn't really interested overall.

"Eh, I don't know." She said. "I don't really want to." Watching Luke deflate so quickly made her feel pretty bad.

"Aw, come on!" He said. "Let's have a quick fight! Don't be serious if you don't want to, that's also fine! Please?"

"Luke, I really don't think it's going to happen."

"Why not? Not in the mood or something?"

"Well..."

"I'm sure it's not that." Drake spoke up, making everyone look at him as he smirked. "She's probably afraid of hurting you to bad." Nashi narrowed her eyes at Drake, who just winked at her. What was he getting at?

"She won't hurt me that bad." Luke replied.

"She's a pretty devastating combatant." Ultear said. "She might go overboard."

"I don't care!" Luke shouted, now getting agitated. "I just want the chance! I honestly don't care if she puts me in the infirmary!" Nashi stared at her brother for a moment or two, but he refused to back down. They continued their staring contest before Nashi sighed and looked down at her lap.

"If you really want to." she said.

"I do!"

"I'm not planning on holding back."

"Good."

"If I hurt you to bad it's not my fault."

"Fine by me!" Nashi smiled at her brother. She knew very well all the answers to her statements before he said them. The answers ran in the family.

"Alright then. I suppose I could use a workout."

"That's the spirit! Let's do this!" Nashi stood and cracked her back.

"Give me a few minutes to limber up." She said. "Then we'll get this started."

"Ready?" Luke asked. The two of them were standing on opposite ends of the field behind the guild hall, which was usually used for stuff like this. Nashi shrugged.

"When you are." She said. "One question though."

"Hm?" Nashi turned and made a face.

"Was bringing along the whole guild really necessary?" The entirety of the guild was settling down to watch the siblings duke it out, and the hype was making Nashi uncomfortable.

"I didn't tell them to do this, you know." Luke said. "They heard us arguing and came all by themselves."

"Is there a reason you're so miffed?" Drake asked his sister, who was practically leaking with anger. "Cause it's throwing me off." Kaida growled.

"Luke is such a fucking jackass." She hissed. "I kept telling him this was a bad idea, and he wouldn't listen to me."

"What's the big problem?" Drake asked. "I mean surely he's not that big of a pushover, is he?"

"No, I just don't think it's a good idea." Drake frowned at the girl, but she refused to elaborate. Sighing, he leaned away from her and returned listening to Ultear and Simon's conversation.

"You think we need to set up barricades or something?" Ultear asked warily. "Knowing this family it might be a good idea to avoid collateral."

"Also knowing this family I don't know how much good any barriers would actually do." Simon replied with a small chuckle, which sounded more like it was alleviating his own worries then showing he had none. "Besides, I think it's fair to say Nashi has got this in the bag."

"I'm not sure I can agree with that." All heads turned to find Elise standing there, smiling. "Luke's grown pretty strong in his pursuit to be just like his sister. Saying he has no chance isn't true."

"Fair enough." Drake said as the older woman sat next to him, Lana close behind. "But we've never seen him fight." Elise laughed.

"He devastated the Games." She said. "Anyone who went up against him didn't last over five minutes. One of the only reasons they even won the Games at all was because he was so good."

"I know it's been twenty years Elise, but Nashi ain't no pushover either." Ultear reminded her, making the woman chuckle as Lana climbed on her lap.

"Guess we'll just have to find out."

"So, we ready to start?" Luke asked. Nashi nodded, finishing er stretches by jumping up and down a bit.

"I'll give you the first go." She said. "Test the waters a bit, little bro." Luke smirked

"Fine by me." He said. He reached for his waist, where Nashi had already noticed their mothers golden keys. Question was, what spirit was he going to have to go at?

Nashi was baffled, however, when Luke simply waved the key above his head.

"Star Suit: Leo!" A golden light enveloped Luke's body, causing Nashi to shield her eyes as it attempted to blind her. Once the light died, Nashi lowered her arm and looked back at her brother.

Luke was now wearing a tuxedo with a bright red tie, which he adjusted slightly with a smirk.

"What the hell is that?" Nashi asked.

"Advanced Celestial Spirit techniques." He answered with a grin. "I prefer to up and close and personal approach." Before Nashi could reply, Luke catapulted forwards, his hand glowing with light. He slammed into Nashi, and she soared backwards before she flipped in mid-air and landed, watching as Luke shot forward again and with another blast of light, blinded her. She covered her eyes, which gave Luke all the openings he needed. She received a punch to the gut and the face, which sent her careening away once more. Coating her body in fire, Nashi waited as Luke advanced again, and timed herself carefully.

As Luke got close, her body erupted in flames, causing him to back up as the heat intensified.

"Up close and personal?" Nashi asked, cracking her neck as Luke held his ground. "Unless your fearless of the flames, you'll want to fix your approach." Luke laughed.

"You think your fire scares me?" he demanded. "Have you forgotten who our father is? I'm not stranger to fire."

"Then I'll aquatint you with mine!" Nashi attacked him back, swinging her fists and kicking Luke any chance she got. Nashi dodged all of his attacks and dealt her own back in kind, which forced him into a corner of defense as she hammered away at him.

"Back off!" He shouted, landing a decent hit to her upper body, which forced her backwards. She brought her hands together and threw a fireball at him, which he dodged by jumping into the air and looking down at her. Luke shot like a rocket down on top of Nashi, the golden light exploding outwards from the hit. Nashi grabbed him by the arm and flung him away from her, but he wasn't having it. He stayed right up in her business, now forcing her on the defensive.

Jeez, he's got a lot of force behind that swing!

Nashi snapped back to the fight as Luke grabbed her arms and twisted them behind her back, and she cried out in pain as he did so.

"What now?" He asked in her ear as he kept her arms in a very painful position. "You're not doing so hot, big sis." Nashi grinned through the sharp pain.

"What did I tell you?" She asked, twisting her palms. Luke noticed too late, and jets of fire flew from Nashi's hands directly into his face. "Change up your approach!" Luke backed up as the fire forced him to do so, and grinned.

"You want me to change my approach?" He asked. "Alright, let's see how you handle this!" He quickly lowered his hands to the key ring again, and raised it into the air. "Open! Gate of the Archer! Sagittarius!" Nashi watched as the man who cosplayed as a horse appeared from the gate, saluting just as he knew he did. The spirit opened his mouth to greet Luke, but his eyes fell on Nashi, and he grew dead silent in shock.

"N-Nashi...?" Nashi smiled and waved.

"Looking good Sagittarius!" She said with a wave. Sagittarius looked back at Luke in shock, who chuckled at the spirit's expression.

"I'll explain it to you later." He told the man. "Right now I need you to help me fight her. Can you do that, or will nostalgia get in your way?" Sagittarius shook his head.

"No, I'll be able to cover you. You are my current Master after all." Luke smirked.

"Good on you. Let's get her." Nashi raised her hands and defended herself from Luke as he rushed her again, and they traded blows of golden light and fire. Luke backed up a bit, and Nashi took this as a chance to rush in for a pretty decent blow.

Something whistled through the air, and Nashi realized she had to move, and she had to do it Now.

Bending at an angle she rarely did, Nashi back-flipped away from the arrows that Sagittarius sent her way, but the arrows followed her as the wind current changed. Unless she wanted to be impaled by them, she had to burn them. Nashi activated her fire and intensified the heat, burning away the arrows as they got close. Luke came after her again, and coupled with the arrows flying her way, Nashi found herself getting hit by both as she attempted to dodge one or the other. As the hits she felt piled up, Nashi felt her temper beginning to rise.

"One of you needs to go!" Nashi shouted. She uppercut Luke out of her way, and turned to Sagittarius with fire leaking from her mouth. "Fire Dragon Roar!" The torrent of flame flew towards the spirit, who had no way of moving out of it's blast. He took it head on and disappeared. Nashi sighed and turned back to Luke as the boy recovered from her vicious hit.

"Alright, you hit pretty hard." He said, spitting out blood. Nashi coughed and nodded.

"Yeah, so do you." Luke stood, and reached for his keys once more.

"Alright, let's try something else out." The boy reverted back to his normal outfit, and raised a different key. "Star Suit: Taurus!" Another flash of golden light animated from him, and when it died away he was dressed like come sort of cowboy, complete with the hate and boots. Nashi stifled a giggle.

"What the hell are you wearing?" She asked, trying her best not to burst out laughing. Luke rolled his eyes.

"Laugh all you want, you won't be soon enough." He said, flipping another key around his fingers as it started to glow. "Open! Gate of the Lion! Loke!" Nashi watched as the gate opened and the leader of the Zodiacs showed up, wearing the same kind of suit Luke had only a moment ago. Same as Sagittarius, Loke saw Nashi and grew stunned.

"No way." He said. "It can't be..."

"Hiya Loke!" Nashi said. "Good to see you too!"

"Loke, I'm fighting with her right now. You and I need to go after her together. You with me?" It took Loke a minute to regather himself, but once he did he pushed his glasses back up and smirked.

"Of course I am." he said. "Sorry Nashi, Luke and I are going to have to hit you now. You can call me later though, anytime." Nashi rolled her eyes.

"You never change, Loke." She said. After a few moments of preparation from both sides, Loke and Luke both soared at Nashi, both attacked her with speed and power she hadn't been prepared for. Loke brought an insane amount of power and speed all on his own, but the Taurus gear Luke had on had increased his power by some bit, which made ever punch and every strike of his whip hurt like hell. She needed a plan.

And suddenly, as a combined blast of Regulus from Loke and a whup from Luke sent her flying backwards, Nashi found her plan.

"Jeez, Luke's really giving it to her." Ultear said as Nashi did her best to block the blows from both sides. "I didn't think she'd be having this much trouble."

"Neither did I." Simon agreed.

"I told you guys," Elise said, as Lana cheered indiscriminately. "Luke is no pushover." Drake watched as Nashi was delivered a vicious blast of Regulus and a swing of Luke's whip, and she landed upright clutching her wounds with a grimace on her face.

Or was it a smile?

Drake, out of curiosity, took a listen. After only a few seconds, he smirked.

"It's about to go down." he said, chuckling.

"What do you...?" Ultear started, before Nashi started to laugh as she stood. She was covered in red marks from the whip and wounds from the light, but a wide smile was on her face.

"You really did want a good fight, didn't you?" She asked. "Alright Luke, you've gotten me fired up."

The magical pressure from Nashi's body started to fluctuate wildly. And Drake watched with a big smirk on his face as fire started to circulate Nashi's body.

Accompanied by a bright white light.

"This battles just getting started." He said with a grin.

Natsu groaned a he followed Lucy through the market, still having no clue why he had been brought along in the first place. He had absolutely no interest in shopping, even if it was with her.

"Can we place go back to the guild now?" he asked, rubbing his head. "I'm really bored." Lucy sighed and looked at him with a pained expression on her face.

"Almost in his sixties and still can feign interest for me." She joked, making him roll his eyes. "I'm almost done, just give me a minute okay?"

"You said give me a minute twenty minutes ago."

"And how many times during those twenty minutes did I say give me a minute?" Natsu growled and mumbled under his breath, making Lucy laugh.

"Can't we just walk around Natsu? It's been a while since I've been in such a good mood." This made Natsu smile.

"At least I can concur with that." He said. "I'm in a pretty good mood myself." Lucy laughed, and then looked down at the ground.

"I just..." The woman tried. "I can't believe they're really home... After all of that..." Natsu nodded.

"But they're here now." He said. " And if they try and jump backwards, they'll never have been gone."

"I know." She said. "I just...Want to enjoy it while I can." She looked over at him. "Also, I wanted to ask you if..."

BOOM!

Natsu looked over his shoulder towards the explosion, which had come from the guild hall. He watched it alertly for a moment, before the explosion he saw were fiery and golden bright. His eyes widened and a smile broke over his face.

"Are Nashi and Luke...?" He asked. The fiery explosions were also accompanied by white light. Holy Light. Natsu looked back at Lucy, who almost looked unimpressed. "What's wrong with you?" he asked. Lucy sighed.

"That boy has so much of you in him it's criminal." She said flatly. "Nashi would never have come up with the idea to fight him."

"I want to go and see! Come on!" Natsu happily proceeded back towards the guild hall, a huge smile on his face.

Natsu's heart stopped, before it jump started again with an all to familiar feeling.

Natsu collapsed to one knee and started to pant, sweat coming from his pores.

No...

"Natsu? You okay?" Lucy asked from behind him. He slowly looked at her from over his shoulder, and just held her gaze, hoping she got the message as the cold sweat continued. After a few seconds, Lucy's eyes widened.

"Oh no..." She whispered, looking up at the explosions at the guild. Natsu looked back at it as well as an incredibly unsettling feeling came over him.

"We need to go there. Now!"

Luke hit the dirt and rolled, looking up as Nashi, enveloped in white fire, looked at him. He knew this well, it was Nashi's Holy White Fire Dragon mode.

"This is getting insane... Who could I use to stop her?" Luke ran a hand over the keys, and did an inventory. He unfortunately had almost no spirit he trusted to take her on effectively. Taurus was a perv, Scorpio was probably busy, Ares would panic, Loke and Sagittarius were down...

Luke ran a hand over a specific key, and he grinned. That could work.

"Alright Nashi, I'm seriously impressed." he said. "You're something else." Nashi did not reply, and Luke grinned as he brandished the key at her. "But, let's see how you deal with this! Open! Gate of the Twins! Gemini!" The key glowed, and the twins of the Zodiac showed up with a puff of smoke. The two looked over at Luke.

"What's up?" They asked together. "Why're we here?" Luke smiled at them and pointed at Nashi.

"I need you to copy her!" He said. "Let's see how she goes about fighting herself!" Gemini floating there for a few seconds before they made a strange sound.

"No good! No good!" Gemini said. "Can't copy her." Luke faltered and glared at the twins.

"Why not?!" He demanded.

"Too strong! Too strong!" They replied. "Can't copy her, she's stronger than you!"

...

Luke stared at the twins as they apologized and disappeared just as they appeared. He slowly looked at Nashi, who started to advance on him. A wolfish look was on her face as the fire and light circulated him.

And a very unsettling feeling came over him. It felt like cold sweat, and his heart beat started to increase the closer she got to him. Luke watched as she got right up to him, and they kept their eyes on each other. What was happening?

"Nashi!" Luke slowly turned his head, and found their parents standing by the edge of the field, both looking downright frightened. "Stop it! That's enough!" Luke wasn't sure what his father was talking about, but when he looked back at Nashi, her fire was dissipating as she stumbled backwards, holding her head.

"Wha...What happened?" She asked.

"...You okay?" Luke asked weakly, his heart beat slowing considerably. Nashi blinked weakly and rubbed her eyes.

"I...I think so." She replied. "That...Was weird."

"What?" Nashi looked down at her hand, almost as if she was glaring at it.

"I...I heard a voice." She whispered. "...My own voice, but deeper and angrier...Telling me to finish you." She looked back up at him, making him make a face. "I don't know what it was."

"Me either." Luke replied. "But...You wanna keep fighting?"

"...No, no...I'm good."

"...Okay." Nashi just stared at her hand, and Luke pocketed his hands in disappointment. He'd really wanted to have a fair fight with her, but now she was completely uninterested. He looked over at their parents, who were whispering to each other frantically.

Over what, Luke could not fathom.

The silence was as usual, as nothing was to be reported. The waves crashed against the side of the mountain, but that was the only sound to be heard.

Until it was shattered.

BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP!

The alerts that blared wildly alerted the woman watching them on the floating screens. As she watched them, her eyes widened. She stood from her seat and left the room, speeding down the hall towards the office of the man she answered to.

"Master." She said, entering the room. Her master turned and regarded her closely. "It's happened. The END censors...They've picked her up. She's back."

"Are you certain?"

"Positive." A moment of silence passed.

Zeus leaned back in his chair and laughed.

"Excellent work Athena. Keep an eye on her."

"Will do." Athena left the room, and Zeus smiled brazenly.

"She's finally returned...After all this time, you've finally reared your head once more."

Probably not what you guys were expecting, but it's definitely what's going down. So, i hope you enjoyed, leave a review! Let's try and get five! That'll get us over 2000!
