This post is a part of Fairy Legion Chapter 47 and has been put into a separate post mainly due to the original post being unable to edit for reasons described in this update post. This post here has been written in December 2021 but will be uploaded before Fairy Legion Chapter 47. This is to mainly improve the amount of posts produced within a certain time frame or other reasons.
Later at the only public bathhouse in Magnolia. It does two things. It relieves personal fatigue and the magic power of those who bath here. Loke was hiding around the corner ,like a sicko or stalker, with him seeing Elfman exiting the male's entrance. "Bathhouses are manly!" said Elfman. The giant of a man was here because Mira was still thinking about her kiss with Zane and Elfman couldn't get his sister's attention.
As Elfman was leaving the bathouse, Lucy exited afterwards. "I like my bath at home but this place takes the cake! Nothing beats soaking in a big tub. I'm really worried about Erza." said Lucy. Titania had been in the bath house for over a few hours and looked like a broiled lobster. She had passed out upon seeing Lucy and well, Natsu had taken her back to her place at Fairy Hills. He had broke his way into the girls side to get her out of there but he wasn't focused on seeing the other girls bodies.
Lucy hoped Natsu would talk with Erza but well, she doubt Erza would let him talk. Loke looked right at her with him not seeing that he was being watched by a nosey Zane. He was currently in Frost Form with his wings wrapped around him. "So what will you do now Wildcat?" thought Zane. The brunette stepped out of the shadows and this attracted Lucy's attention. "Hey there Lucy. Can we talk over there?" said Loke, pointing to a nearby staircase. "Um sure." said Lucy.
The two wizards and invisible superhero went over to a nearby staircase with Loke going over and buying a drink for him and Lucy. "Try this. It hits the spot after a bath." said Loke, handing her some flavored milk. It was Strawberry, reminding Lucy of Natsu's hair. "Thanks." said Lucy, smiling. "I'll have one with you if you don't mind." said Loke, holding a lime flavored one. I wonder why he would go for that favorite.
It may be due to a certain wizard whose identity will be revealed soon. "Just so you know, Erza may be mad at you due to a mixture of Zane pranking her and your fan club." said Lucy. Loke sighed as he said,"Figures he would make his life a living hell but whatever. Lets put the past behind us. Here's your beautiful eyes.". "Um. Boyfriend remember?" said Lucy. "Ah. Sorry force of habit I guess." said Loke with him nervously chuckling.
The two clinked their drinks with Lucy smiling. "This is really good." said Lucy. "No kidding." said Loke with him sparkling. "Yeah. The sky is pretty nice tonight right?" said Lucy. "Yeah." said Loke as a shooting star went by. "A shooting star! It sounds dumb but I always wondered where those fallen stars end up." said Lucy. "Wow. That's going to effect Loke in a way that makes no sense yet." thought Zane, frowning.
Loke nodded a little before looking down. "I really do feel sorry for them. Just think. Once they fall from the sky, they can never return to heaven. That's pretty heartbreaking right?" said Loke. Lucy looked at her with her eyes gained anger in them. "That's another one of your sappy pick-up lines again isn't it? I'm not going to get fooled again." said Lucy, turning away from him. "Heh. You can see right through me huh Lucy." said Loke, chuckling.
The blond sighed as she said,"Come on. Can't you go like five minutes without flirting? You're even worse than Zane. He claims that his flirting is a result of his teacher but I think he does it on purpose to annoy me.". "I can be a real pain huh but thanks for entertaining this fool Lucy. Goodbye forever." said Loke. He walked as Lucy looked at him in curiosity and heads back to her apartment. Zane floated there with him sighing loudly. "Idiot. Why is Wildcat doing this?" said Zane, flying off after Lucy.
Back at Lucy's apartment, Happy and Natsu ,who didn't talk to Erza since she kicked him out upon walking up, sat on her bed and Zane ,out of Frost Form, sat in the armchair. Lucy took out a silver key with her saying,"Open! Gate of the Southern Cross! Crux!". Crux appears to be an aged celestial spirit. His head beholds a giant, metal cross with floral-like golden patterns. He also has a white-haired mustache sprouting from his nostrils that also appears like tiny crosses.
Oftentimes, he closes his eyes. However, he will eventually open these if he found his objective. He seems to be wearing a medieval-like outfit, complete with green pants and wooden pointed shoes. His arms and legs are skinny, and appear to be tanned orange. On his arms are blue-colored knobs attached to his wrists and elbows. Crux is currently missing a tooth with him often seen levitating rather than to stand. I would do the same if I could do that.
As Elfman was leaving the bathouse, Lucy exited afterwards. "I like my bath at home but this place takes the cake! Nothing beats soaking in a big tub. I'm really worried about Erza." said Lucy.

Goodbye forever." said Loke. He walked as Lucy looked at him in curiosity and heads back to her apartment. Zane floated there with him sighing loudly. "Idiot. Why is Wildcat doing this?" said Zane, flying off after Lucy.
Back at Lucy's apartment, Happy and Natsu ,who didn't talk to Erza since she kicked him out upon walking up, sat on her bed and Zane ,out of Frost Form, sat in the armchair. Lucy took out a silver key with her saying,"Open! Gate of the Southern Cross! Crux!". Crux appears to be an aged celestial spirit. His head beholds a giant, metal cross with floral-like golden patterns. He also has a white-haired mustache sprouting from his nostrils that also appears like tiny crosses.
Oftentimes, he closes his eyes. However, he will eventually open these if he found his objective. He seems to be wearing a medieval-like outfit, complete with green pants and wooden pointed shoes. His arms and legs are skinny, and appear to be tanned orange. On his arms are blue-colored knobs attached to his wrists and elbows. Crux is currently missing a tooth with him often seen levitating rather than to stand. I would do the same if I could do that.
Happy blinked with him saying,"So this weird floating guy is a spirit huh?". "Yeah. I like to call him Grandpa Crux." said Lucy. "Nice to meet you Grandpa Crux!" said Natsu. "So why did you summon this young guy again?" said Zane. "Because you won't tell me how you know my celestial spirits so well and Loke. I definitely overreacted when I kicked Loke in the nuts but I can tell that he wasn't joking and I need Grandpa Crux to look something up for me." said Lucy.
Natsu crossed his arms over his chest with him saying,"Wow. That isn't Loke. I mean sure, he may flirt with any attractive girl but he doesn't use that as his pickup line.". "And getting kicked in the nuts is the worst pain a male can feel." said Zane. "Focus you two. Grandpa Crux. Do you mind using your powers to tell me about the Celestial Wizards Loke met in the past and maybe how all of my spirits know Zane so well?" said Lucy.
Crux hummed in response with him looking to have fallen asleep. "Um Lucy. I think you should get a new model. He's sleeping." said Happy. "Yeah. I can see the snot bubble." said Natsu. "He heard her you two. Crux is a living search engine and well, he likes to sleep while searching things up. Been like that since he was a spry young man or since I've known him." said Zane. "Okay. That makes no sense." said Happy and Natsu.
Lucy shrugged as she said,"It may not make any sense but Crux is an expert on anything involving Celestial Spirit magic. He can tell you everything that goes on in both the human and celestial spirit world. He can even tell you about particular spirits and which wizards have summoned them in the past.". "I doubt that." said Happy. "For once, she isn't lying. Just wait and relax." said Zane, leaning back in his chair and sipping his flask.
After another moment, Crux's eyes opened up as he screamed out. His eyes looked bloodshot with Happy and Natsu jumping out of their skin. The cat hid behind Lucy in fear and Natsu protected Lucy from the living cross. Zane laughed at the duo with Lucy saying,"So did you find anything Grandpa Crux?". "I did indeed but I cannot say anything about personal information involving the Celestial world." said Crux.
Zane rolled his eyes as he said,"Skip the bureaucracy Crux and get to the point. You're not getting any younger.". "Okay old friend. I can tell you that Loke was connected to a Celestial Spirit wizard named Karen Lilica." said Crux. "Karen Lilica?!" said Lucy. Zane flinched with Happy said as he looked at Lucy and Zane,"Um. Who is she? And do you know her Zane?". "She has the same name as a old friend and well, my PTSD is acting up." said Zane.
Happy looked concerned with him saying,"Are you going to be okay Zane? You don't look good. I mean your face is so pale.". "Happy. If I was still in my early 20s, I would lie and say yes but I'm fine seriously. I think I can handle hearing someone with the same name. So does anyone other than Lucy know about this Karen girl?" said Zane. Natsu cupped his chin as he said,"Karen Lilica. I've heard that name before but I can't remember from where.".
Lucy looked right at him with her saying,"She was a super famous Celestial Spirit wizard a few years ago Natsu. I actually have the issue when she was profiled in Sorcerer Weekly.". She pointed to a copy of Sorcerer Weekly as Natsu nodded. "That's right. Mira did a photoshoot with her once and told me about her when she got back. She was like a female Loki." said Natsu. "Um. So do you have a picture of her Lucy? What do you mean by was like a female Loki?" said Happy.
Zane sighed as he said,"I think I got a picture of her. Hold on a second Happy.". Zane held out his watch as a holographic image appeared on the coffee table in front of the group. Karen had brown eyes and green hair that was usually put back by a blue hat with white-colored Blue Pegasus's symbol and like most of the female characters, she also had large breasts. Karen's member stamp was located on the lower left part of her abdomen, colored blue.
She wore a long fur-trimmed red coat with a light pink furry collar and handcuffs on top of a cream and black bikini top. She also wore a knee-length dark purple skirt with light brown socks and red high-heeled shoes. "Yep. That's her. So why did you have a picture of her in your watch? You better have a good reason." said Lucy. "Because one of my AIs is a pervert." said Zane. "Seriously? That's your reason." said Lucy.
Zane nodded as Lucy said,"Anyway, Karen died a job a few years ago. Her master told her not to go on but she didn't listen.". "So she was a wizard like us?" said Happy. "More like Lucy and Natsu but whatever. Anything else about her that's important to share." said Zane. "Yeah. She was a member of Blue Pegasus if I remember right. Grandpa Crux. So what was the relationship between Karen and Loke?" said Lucy.
Crux sighed as he said,"Sorry but I'm afraid I've said all I can on the matter.". "Aw come on!" said Lucy as Crux feel asleep instead of answering her.. "Well Lucy. I think he's actually looking something up anyway." said Happy. "No. He's asleep this time." said Lucy. "What's the difference?" said Happy as he pointed to Crux with him not getting an answer. "So Karen and Loke." said Lucy, going into deep thought. After remembering everything Loke told her, her eyes opened as a thought occurred to her.
Lucy muttered,"Fallen Star? He can't be.". "Um. Is something wrong Luce?" said Natsu, placing a hand on her shoulder. "Zane! Is he?" said Lucy. "Yeah. He is. Finally figured it out huh. We need to go right now." said Zane. "Um. What are you two talking about?" said Natsu. Before he could possibly get an answer, the door to Lucy's apartment suddenly burst wide open within second. Ready to attack the intruder, Natsu and Zane were surprised to see a shirtless Gray enter the room.
Gray looked at them as he said,"I'm sorry about your door Lucy but we got a big problem! It's Loke! He's quit Fairy Tail and ran out on us!". "What?!" yelled Lucy and Natsu, leaping off the bed. "Why would he do something like that?" said Lucy. "No idea. Everyone is out there looking for him right now! I knew he was acting strange but I didn't see this coming." said Gray, balling his fists. "It can't be that. We need to go now Zane." said Lucy, turning to Zane.
Happy tilted his head as Zane said,"You got it. Hang on tight. We'll be there in a flash.". He turned into Swift Form with him saying,"Gray, Happy, and Natsu. Go help the others find Loke! We'll go search somewhere else and tell Prude Knight to suck it.". Before they could question Zane, both he and Lucy were gone in a flash. "Yep. Zane knows something we don't. Really getting sick of that." said Gray.
Natsu nodded as he said,"Whatever man. Let them do their thing while we find Loke.". "Right. Lets go." said Gray. Instead of taking the door, the two boys jumped out the window. "Hey Loke! Where are you!" shouted Natsu from a building. Everyone in Fairy Tail was looking for Loke in Magnolia but Loke wasn't in Magnolia. At a large waterfall south of Magnolia, Loke had a solemn look on his face as he stared at a warned out grave in front of him.
The grave itself was located at the edge of a cliff. The name "It sleeps Celestial Wizard of Blue Pegasus Karen Lilica end here." was etched into the side of it. There was a bell and the Blue Pegasus guild emblem displayed on it. Loke ran his hand over the inscription of the tombstone with him sighing loudly. "And we're here. Found you Wildcat." said a familiar voice. Loke immediately bolted up and turned around to see Lucy and Zane behind him.
Zane deactivated Swift Form with Lucy saying,"Everyone in the guild is out looking for you. That's Karen grave isn't it?". Loke looked shocked. "She was a great Celestial Wizard from what Aries told me about her. However, we both know how you and Aries were victim of her abuse." said Zane. Do note that Karen Lilica may be an abuser in canon. This is just how I personally see it and unlike with Jude or Laxus, there is some support to my opinion on this.
We'll see later in the chapter but she uses her spirits as shields and as a way to entertain her many boyfriends. She treats them as tools and weapons rather than living beings. Just read her article on Fairy Tail Wiki and maybe you'll see how Karen Lilica is an abuser. "You can't be serious." said Lucy "Lucy. I'm serious. If I'm wrong, tell me how you feel about her Wildcat. I want the truth and not another lie from you." said Zane.
Loke looked at Zane with him starting to laugh. "Seriously?! What are you talking about? I mean I know that I told Lucy that I was going to die but I was joking. It was a bad joke yes. Lucy made that perfectly clear to me but you're doing the exact thing to her. You're being a shitty person." said Loke. Zane gritted his teeth and clenched his fists, causing his silver steel spider-like stingers from his knuckles.
Before Loke or Lucy could say anything about it, Zane rushed up to Loke and looked to have stabbed him with the stingers. "Zane! Stop!" yelled Lucy. "I didn't hurt him Lucy. If he keeps lying, I'm going to stab him. I didn't teach you how to fight just for you to lie about you are and how you given this title of Leo the Lion from Brutus. He wouldn't want to see you like this and neither do I." said Zane. Lucy looked at her friend's face with it screaming annoyed and disappointed.
Lucy sighed as she said,"Of course you knew about him being Leo the Lion.". "Yeah I did. I trained him as a favor from the previous Leo. Loke was his name before he took over the title from my old friend and I remembered how I taught him to fight with the power of Regulus. Your light once shined so bright but now look at you, you're dull." said Zane. "What are you talking about?" said Loke. "Just admit the truth before I put my stingers right through your lying face." said Zane.
The spirit gulped with Zane saying,"Brutus may be mad at me for doing this to you but he wouldn't want you to lie. Lions don't lie. That ability belongs to the snakes. Tell her now before I decided to make them go up.". "Okay. Zane is right Lucy. I'm Leo the Lion and Brutus is the former Leo. My name was Loke before I took the role of Leo from Brutus a very long time ago. As a favor to Brutus, Legion Zero trained me and he wasn't gentle whatsoever." said Loke, shivering as he remember his training.
Zane removed his stingers with him saying,"Good. Keep talking.". "Fine. Zane calls me Wildcat since I apparently remind him of someone from a musical that he watched with Rachel, Queen of the Akostar Clan of devils. She's a powerful and beautiful lady. Zane is a lucky bastard to have been with her." said Loke. "We still are. Our relationship is very complicated." said Zane, messing with his ring that he wears. "So I never expected you to find out Lucy." said Loke.
Lucy smiled as she said,"Don't forget Loke. I'm a Celestial Wizard too and I have a lot of contracts with a lot of spirits. It wasn't that hard to dig up the truth on you. I really should have figured it out sooner when Zane decided to get involved. He may act like a jerk but he cares about people. He goes out of his way to help people even if it involves force and getting involved more than most people usually do. He did that for me during the whole Phantom Lord and Gray during Galuna Island.".
Zane shrugged as he said,"It's true. So why is Wildcat like this?". "You know this already so why are you asking?" said Lucy, crossing her arms. "I want to see if you're not what the stereotype says about blonds and their intelligence." said Zane, sitting down on the ground. "Okay then. Normally when the owner of a gate key dies, the contract between spirit and wizard is instantly terminated. The spirit is then forced back to their world until a new owner arrives." said Lucy.
Lucy sighed as she said,"Your contract with Karen should have ended the day she died. Why are you still here? I've never heard of that before and that isn't how it works right? And don't say anything sarcastic Zane.". "She knows me so well." said Zane. "Your kind can't survive in the human world for long and it's the same for how humans can't survive in your world. It'll slowly drains your life force and naturally ends in your death." said Lucy.
Zane smiled as he said,"You're absolutely right. I can survive there since well, I'm a Magnus. The Celestial Spirit World and Cosmic Dominion are the same dimension but a different name. It's like how Ethernano is called Animus in my dimension. I'm getting off topic here. However, Wildcat is different from other spirits right?". "You're both right. It's been three years now." said Loke. "Three years?! I'm shocked you made it past one!" said Lucy.
Loke chuckled with him saying while rubbing the back of his head,"You're right. I'm stronger than a normal spirit but well, I'm losing my light.". Loke looked at Karen's grave. "Hold on! I might be able to help you somehow! Why can't I just open a gate for you?! Or Zane could! You can open a portal to anywhere in the Omniverse right? Tell me why we can't help you Loke!" said Lucy. "I don't need your help and especially not the Protector's help." scoffed Loke.
With a glare, Lucy yelled,"What do you mean? If you don't go back now, you're going to die! This isn't time for you to be stubborn!". "He would if he could Lucy but there is no way he can go back." said Zane with Loke nodding. "Which is what?!" said Lucy. "Blondes. Let me explain. Wildcat broke a law that can't be forgiven with a simple "I'm sorry". It's a law that effects both summoner and spirit. As a result of this criminal act, Loke was kicked out from the Celestial World forever." said Zane.
The blonde looked right at Zane with her noticing the look in Zane's eyes. He wasn't joking. "How do you know all of this Zane?" said Lucy. "I'm old friends with the king. Met him through Rythos. How about you tell her what you did Wildcat?" said Zane. "I won't deny what I did. This sin is my cross to bear and I have to face it like a man rather than a coward. I'm a traitor to my kind. I was contracted to Karen and I killed her." said Loke.
Lucy looked at Loke with her saying,"You killed Karen. You killed your wizard. How?". "A spirit who killed their owner can't go back home. I'll stay here and vanish. That's why I quit Fairy Tail and dumped all of my girlfriends. I can't bear to hurt any more people I care about." said Loke. "You're being an idiot Wildcat. You're hurting Lucy and Brutus. Come on. Lets all go back and learned how Wildcat was disowned." said Zane, turning into Chronos Form and take them back to the past.
The three appeared outside of a building with Loke's eyes widening. "No. We're back at the Blue Pegasus building." said Loke. "Yeah. Lets learn why Karen was a terrible summoner and why you're the complete opposite of what she was." said Zane. We'll be going with the anime version of the Blue Pegasus Building. Blue Pegasus's base is a single block, square building composed of very massive, pink bricks with a pair of towers.
These towers were approximately the same height as the building itself, dividing the facade in three sections. The side ones are slightly taller than the central one which was topped by a railing and had its central part composed of pink, flat stones. This part was topped by a railing which ,almost below it, had a golden-framed, shield-shaped sign bearing Blue Pegasus's symbol. It was done in various shades of purple.
Blue Pegasus's entrance has two large arched handles was topped by a peculiar balcony with a dark window. It has an intricately decorated frame sitting behind a glass railing with a metal frame in the shape of arrows jutting outwards. Flanking the double door, there is a pair of columns holding up an arc ,and it passes over the window above, and two thin, elongated rectangular windows. It possessed pyramid-shaped top parts, are placed between such pillars and the towers at their sides.
On the outer parts sit two more, similar windows which are way longer and possess glasses colored in various shades of purple, adorned by intricate decorations which the frames form on them. Topping the building is a large dome with a light blue tiled roof ending in a series of small pillars holding up an additional, tiny dome. Sprouting from each of the building's sides is a mildly large, stylized feathery wing composed of stone, in reference to the guild's theme.
Lucy nodded as the three ,with Loke being dragged inside by Zane, entered the building. Time for another info dump. The building's main hall is highly reminiscent of an elegant pub. The large room seems to be adorned by several, rectangular tables. This comes with relative benches at both sides and a counter, complete with shelves behind it. There are benches in front of it and an entrance with a lift plank seems to be run by none other than Master Bob, who was shown standing behind it.
The interior also includes a lounge within the bar, for use for customers and clients. The walls are enforced by thin, mostly decorative wood beams. It seems to have windows in their highest part where some beams jut outwards diagonally to sustain the ceiling and bear semicircular, ornamental sections in their upper part. These being adorned by a series of elongated motifs placed one at the other's side.
Said motifs leads the whole structure to take the semicircular form of the figure it's inscribed in. The floor consists of simple, large and square tiles and the entrance to the guild. Its inner side ,bears a long sign above it, reads "Blue Pegasus" and a stylized figure of the mythological creature that the guild is named after. The wall housing such door seems to be different from the others. This is due to it having small, arched windows.
They're topped by a protruding, decorative motif reminiscent of a fleur-de-lis. Above this, there is a section made of large, flat stones. It's separated from the normal wall below it by a series of small and rectangular bricks. The building's second floor was shown to house ,among other places, a mildly large room which looks like a study. This is where we'll see Karen Lilica brutalized her Celestial Spirit Aries and that's what happened to me.
Its floor was identical to that of the main hall and its plain walls had square pillars that were fused into them. It holds up the ceiling being blank in most of its central part but intricately decorated on the edges. The ceiling was coffered in shape but instead of possessing many small square sections and this consisted of very few, large ones. A number of shelves ,which was packed full of books, are lined up the walls.
Approximately in the center of the room and in front of a series of large windows ,complete with curtains, sits a massive desk. This desk is where more books are neatly placed alongside a globe. In front of such desk is a carpet. There is a short, elongated rectangular table and it has a pair of jugs containing flowers on it and a pair of small sofas, being placed at the table's long sides. Some walls sport paintings in their upper part.
Below one of those is a shelf with glass doors, housing a multitude of crystal glasses. Since I showed off Karen's appearance earlier, I won't go into detail about it. Do note that this isn't Karen Castro. I just had to make that perfectly clear. "I'm really sorry boys but I have an appointment at the salon this afternoon and I can't miss it. How about you come back and see me tomorrow?" said Karen. Nearby her, some other females were sitting there and taking badly about Karen.
A girl groaned with her saying,"Great. There goes Karen again!". "What do those guys see in her? I can't believe how much of a slut she is." said a second girl. "Wow. She reminds me of Loke except gender swapped and a human." said Lucy, causing Loke to look away. "Oh wow Karen. You've got quite the loyal army don't you?" said past Bob. "Aw! You and I had a date scheduled today!" said a guy. "And we were supposed to hit a restaurant!" said a second guy.
The third guy glared at the other two as he said,"No! You were going to go out with me!". "And do you have a name? I mean you look like a nameless loser to me." said Karen. "You're mean! My name is Takuro! We've been on three different dates!" said Takuro. "Wow. You're sad bro. I've took her out six times!" said a fourth guy. "Well losers. I actually brought her a ring that can make her magic even more powerful." said a fifth guy. "And this is me caring. I brought her a condo!" said a sixth guy.
Zane blinked with him saying,"Okay. I really don't like her gang. It's like Mack and Wildcat fused together and became female. Don't know how that fusion dance swapped their gender but you two don't get what I'm saying do you? Just ignore me.". Loke and Lucy nodded with Karen loudly sighing. "Fine. I need you babies to stop bothering me. I'm getting a headache dealing with your complaining. Open! Gate of the Golden Ram! Aries!" said Karen.
Loke's eyes widened as he said in a soft, loving tone,"Aries. It's her.". Do note that I'll be doing my best to try and explain Aries's appearance. There will be something from Eclipse Aries ,mainly the sunglasses since she's trying to be like a certain lion spirit in terms of looking cool, since I may not do that arc. This change in appearance may be to emulate a lion whom she's very close to and could be more than just friends. Yes. This is supposed to be not very subtle.
Aries ,compared to Capricorn, Gemini, Pisces in their eel I think?, Taurus, is a more humanoid spirit and looks to be around Lucy's age. She has pale white skin. She has thick pink hair with it falling down to her shoulders and curled at the end. She has brown eyes. While she may look human, the very noticeable brown-tinted ram ,or maybe goat?, horns connected to her kinda give away that she isn't human.
Her outfit is white and fluffy like wool. She's wearing a white ,wool, off the shoulder dress that shows off her breasts. Her dress ends about in the middle of her thighs. She wears white arm warmers/gloves that go up to her exposed shoulders. Instead of her typical yellow thigh high socks, she's wearing something else. This is due to me not liking the yellow color and it clashes. That's just a me thing thought.
She's wearing black wool thigh high boots with pink wool balls on the front and end in a split at the top of it. She wears a black wool and fluffy choker around her neck with pink sunglasses over her eyes. "So that's Aries. She's pretty cute right Loke?" said Lucy, nudging Loke. "Um. What did you do to Aries Zane?" said Loke, confusing Lucy. "What could you possibly mean? I did nothing to her. Maybe she decided to switch up her choice of fashion." said Zane.
Loke sighed as he said,"That's right. I remember now. Before that, she told me about how she decided to get a makeover thanks to a certain pain in my ass and Cancer.". "Yeah. I really wish she went with the tan." said Zane. "So do you have a picture of a tan Aries?" said Lucy. "Seriously?!" said Loke as he looked at the blonde. "What? Look at how pale she is. I want to see how bad she tans so show me the picture after this is all over." said Lucy.
Zane sighed as he said,"That's fair. You're being the responsible one. So why did Karen summon sweet Aries?". "I'm sorry ma'am. Did you mean to summon me?" said Aries. Karen's harem looked at Aries with their eyes turning into hearts and cheered for her appearance. "I'm sick of these idiots and have things to do. You don't mind taking care of these gentlemen right Aries?" said Karen. "No! I don't want to do that! Why is it always me?" said Aries.
A guy said with him putting his arms her,"Come on Aries Chan. We just want to know you better.". "I'm sorry but I'm a celestial spirit! I'm not cut out for this kind of thing." said Aries. "You're not denying my direct orders are you Aries?" said Karen, glaring at her and scaring poor Aries. "No! Of course not ma'am!" said Aries as she cowered in fear. Karen left Aries to her harem and she didn't noticed that the trio of Fairies and Past Bob looked at her.
Karen sighed as she said,"Unbelievable. Who does that hussy think she is?". She was sipping a drink as Past Bob ,not from Zero, was wiping down a glass. "I know that you're frustrated but you shouldn't be cruel toward your spirits my dear." said Past Bob. "What?! She's my property Master so I'll treat her however I want." said Karen. "It seems that you're especially hard on poor Aries." said Past Bob as he phased through the bar, shocking Lucy.
Past Bob shook his head said,"I've heard all of the nasty things you've done to her. Using her as a servant and maid every day, forcing her to entertain those men who treat you so nice and then you throw outside. Your worst action with Aries is using her as a shield whenever you're up against another wizard Karen.". "She did what?!" said Lucy. "She's total scum and it makes the name Karen look bad by comparison." said Zane with Loke staying silent.
Karen rolled her eyes as she said,"Yeah. So what? She's a Celestial Spirit and not a human. They're nothing more than tools.". "Karen! They're living beings just like you and I! Treat them as anything else and they're bound to get revenge on you for your actions! They're like a family and you shouldn't mess with another person family!" yelled past Bob. This scared Karen and well, Karen wasn't too happy by this.
A few seconds, Aries was slapped to the ground by Karen. "How dare you?! Going behind MY back and squeal to Master Bob!" said Karen. "I didn't! I never said anything to him!" said Aries. "Making Master Bob angry is a serious mistake! Quit lying to your master!" said Karen. "I didn't!" said Aries with tears forming. "Stop your lies." said Karen, holding chains and a collar. "What are those?" said Aries.
Karen sadistically smiled at her with her saying,"I'm going to use it to keep you here for seven days in the human world.". "Seven days? Your magic won't hold out that long! Please. Don't do this." said Aries, with her tears becoming more apparent. "I'm a lot stronger than you'll ever know sheep. I'll be fine but you on the other hand. I always wonder what will happen to a celestial spirit if they stay here for an entire week in this world. Time to see.." said Karen.
The woman watched Aries disappeared in a puff of pink wool and Karen scoffed. "You can't run from me Aries! I'll just keep bringing you back!" said Karen. A golden light appeared and something held Karen's wrist. "She didn't run away Master. I'm just taking her place." said a familiar voice. Loke and Lucy looked to see Loke in the past holding her back. Like with Aries, I'll be changing Leo ,aka Past Loke, to give him a mixture of designs.
Unlike with Aries, there will be no mention of Eclipse Leo since he sticks out for the wrong reason. Past Leo's hair looked to be longer and had many more, much large spikes going in every direction. He has a pair of strands sitting on top of his head, similar to animal ears and his hair mirroring a lion's mane. His teeth looked to be sharp than they were know. Past Loke looked to be with his signature sunglasses, showing off his hazel colored eyes.
Past Loke is wearing an elegant dark suit with the jacket left unbuttoned and the loose pants held up by a light colored belt, over a lighter shirt with a zebra-striped tie around the neck. He's wearing dark dress shoes. His fingers were also adorned by two more rings other than the one he wears currently in the present. One of them bearing an "X" shape and the other plain with both having edges in relief. "I can't stand by and let you abuse her anymore Karen." said past Loke.
Karen looked at him with her saying,"Leo the Lion.". "Despite my big talk, I couldn't do anything to her. Me and Aries were contracted to her and I'm sure you're aware of our lack of ability to harm our current summoner. I wish we could have but we have rules for a reason." said Loke, looking at his past self and Karen with regret and anger respectively. "I can't believe you. Opening your gate and without my permission?!" said Karen, swatting his hand away.
Past Loke/Leo sighed as he said,"I was trained by one of the best warriors. He made sure to make me both patient and strong through sadistic means but right now, I'm thankful for it since your abuse is nothing but a pain to me. Your abuse is something I can handle unlike my fellow spirits. If you ever lay your hand on Aries again, you'll be sorry.". "You're just a celestial spirit. You have no right talking back to me!" said Karen.
The spirit sighed as he said,"Listen Karen. I want you to release me and Aries from our contracts here and now.". "What?! You can't order me to do anything!" said Karen. "Yeah. I can. Your behavior and the way you treated us gives human a very bad reputation. The spirits in our world fear you getting a hand on their keys except for Aquarius. If she wasn't stuck with her current host, she would make you pay for hurting her little sis." said Leo.
Karen growled as she said,"Shut up. You're lying!". "A lion doesn't lie. That belongs to the snakes. I think you're a disgrace to all celestial wizards in the land." said Leo. "Go back! Close! Gate of the Lion!" said Karen. Leo looked at her with him staying there and glared at her. "Close! Close! Go back now Leo!" screamed Karen. Leo stood there with Karen panting. "Why can't I close the gate? I have done this before." said Karen.
Leo sighed as he said,"You heard me Karen. I want you to end our contracts and I'm not leaving until that happens. You can't summon any more spirits weakling. No Celestial Wizard is strong enough to summon two spirits at once. This is a real problem for you huh. I won't be your slave no longer and you'll be out of work in due time.". "You forget about something important Leo. Even I have my limits to my magic power." said Karen.
The greenette smiled as she said,"After ten days, my magic power will run out and you'll be forced back in the celestial world whether you like it or not!". "Sorry but if your magic runs out, it'll effect you not me. I used my own power to get here. I'm willing to stay here however long it takes to free me and Aries. Once you cool your head and gain some common sense, I'll be in the church west of town." said Leo, walking out of the room and leaving Karen to her thoughts. She wasn't happy.
At the abandoned church, Leo sat there as Karen tried to convince him to leave. "Go back! You can't hold out forever!" said Karen. Lucy looked at the past Loke ,sitting on some stairs, and he was panting but keep glaring at Karen. "I'm the lion. Leader of the zodiac. Aquarius might disagree but I can handle a little punishment unlike her and the rest of my friends. I've told you this countless times but I'm not moving a muscle until you end our contracts." said Leo.
Karen scoffed as she said,"Don't make me laugh! How dumb do you think I am? Giving up two Zodiac Keys is practically forcing me to take lower paying work.". "Leave now and don't come back until you're willing to listen or maybe get a job at the bar. I'm sure your harem would like to see you there." said Leo. "Leo." said Karen. Time went around the Fairies trio and it has been one month later but to the Fairies, it had been a few seconds.
Leo saw Karen standing there with Karen saying,"Please don't do this to me! It's been an entire month and I haven't be able to work! I have to make money to survive! If you stop this, I'll promise to never mistreat Aries ever again! So go back okay?". "Do you honestly think your lies would work on me snake? I'm not a fool. I came here with a purpose. That is to release me and Aries from our contracts with you! If you truly felt this way, we would have been free by now." said Leo.
Karen growled as she said,"Fine then! Just die!". She began to kick Leo with her saying,"Once you're gone, I can summon Aries and I'll make her pay for your defiance! You won't get away with this Leo I promise.". "Loke." said Lucy, looking at the two lions. Time moved forward once again and Leo had been in the human world for three months. He had taken off his suit jacket and looked over the hometown of Blue Pegasus.
Leo smiled as he said,"It isn't so bad in the human world. I used to hate coming here but it ain't so bad here. However, I'm losing my life force but it isn't painful anymore. It's been three months and I'm sure Karen has learned nothing from this. Time to be the bigger being and forgive Karen. If she hurts Aries again, I'll do this again.". He was leaving the church but he turned to see Master Bob. He looked sad as Leo knew what had happened and regretted his choice.
A bit later, Leo punched the statue. "Damn it! She can't!" said Leo. "I warned her not to work until you two made up but she took a job request anyway. She hadn't made a single penny in the last three months. She was desperate." said past Bob. "But why would she take a job? She couldn't summon another spirit! Not while I'm here!" said Leo. "A celestial wizard can summon more than one spirit at a time but the wizard needs a lot of magic power to achieve this feat." said Past Bob.
Past Bob sighed as he said while crying,"I guess Karen thought she could do it but in the end, it seems that the poor woman wasn't unable to.". "I just wanted her to see that we're not just tools for her to use at her leisure. We're living beings and have free will! We can feel emotion and her cruelty hurts us! I never wanted her to die! Karen! Karen!" said Leo, crying while clenched his teeth. "And now, we'll go back." said Zane, taking Loke and Lucy back to the present.
Back at the grave site, Loke looked at the grave. "And you know why I left everyone. I've lived with the guilt ever since. When someone dies, they can't come back. Zane taught me that lesson and I wish that I could bring her back but the Omniverse has rules and bring her back is against the rules. The only way to make things right is to die." said Loke. He fell down to his lack of strength. "Loke!" said Lucy with her running to his side.
Zane deactivated Chronos Form and he saw Loke's body fading in front of him. "I guess this is it. I'm going to die." said Loke, grabbing his head. "What do you mean?! It isn't Loke!" said Lucy. "For me to disappear forever." said Loke. "But you can't give up! You've lasted this long! Keep fighting! You aren't going to give up without trying are you Loke?" said Lucy, with Loke looking at his fading away right hand.
Loke sighed as he said,"Karen. Her blood is on my hands. She couldn't summon any other spirits and that lead to her death. She was desperate and I just ignored her due to my stubborn pride. I killed her and that's my sin. I have to pay the price.". "Lucy. I hate to admit it but it is. He's like this because of the rules set there. You can't ignore their rules even though they're fucking stupid. I can't believe this but I'm letting another friend die in front of me." said Zane, clenching his fists and narrowed his eyes.
The spirit sighed as he said with him fading in and out of existence,"Not a moment goes by that I don't think about her and my crimes. I tried to get my mind off the pain with women and treating them in away unlike Karen was with me and Aries or those men she played with. She's been haunting me I'm sure of it. I've been waiting this day and well, I think it's good to die at Karen's grave. I'll be free from the guilt holding me back.".
Loke gave the two a pained smile with him saying,"I have to thank you both. Lucy. You're a Celestial Wizard who shines in the night sky and cares for her spirits like I wished Karen did. Zane. You may be a general pain in my ass but I thank you for being strong and teaching me how to fight for what I believe in. You care for people more than anyone I've met. I'm sure that is why everyone looks up to you and wants to be like you.".
The spirit tried to stand up but he fell back down. "Wait! We can save you! Don't give up!" said Lucy as Zane nodded. "Please give my regards to Fairy Tail please." said Loke. Zane's face darkened as his bangs covered his face. "Not again!" said Zane, blasting a tree with an energy beam. "Zane." said Loke and Lucy. "I let my Karen, Kristen, Nova, Rain, Roxy, and Sierra die in front of me because I didn't use Astral Form and I won't let it happen again! Right Lucy? We can't let him die!" said Zane.
Lucy nodded as she said,"You can't die! All you have to do is go back to the Celestial World. Your life force will be restored if that happens right?! There has to be a way to send you back!". "That's a good idea in concept but can't be done. I broke the law and I'm going to pay for my crime. There is nothing you can do." said Loke in a weak tone. "Wildcat. I taught you that nothing is impossible and I'll show you what I can really do! This is wrong!" said Zane.
Zane looked at his watch and he said with the watch up right to his face,"I may be his friend but his laws are stupid and he knows it. Activate Code 07-130-P. Password: Slayer Netstorm Experion. YOU WON'T DIE LEO! I MADE A PROMISE TO THE DEAD BUT NOT FORGOTTEN! I WON'T GO BACK ON IT!". Zane glowed as Lucy said,"Zane.". He was now in Astral Form. He’s a muscular male adult and 12 feet tall.
His body is black with several white star like dots that was scattered all over his body. His body looks to be an active galaxy. His body is emanating a turquoise color. The top of his head has flame like hair with the color of it matching his body. His eyes are white and pupil-less. He has two horns protruding from his forehead. He wears a reddish silver helmet ,with a y-shaped design, helmet with his hair sticking out of it.
Zane is wearing reddish silver gladiator armor type appearing on his body, and brown pants. He's wearing fingerless forearm gauntlets/gloves, a chest plate that covers his chest, and knee length boots protected by greaves. He has on a turquoise colored cape which is made out of a translucent gaseous material. It can't be grab or anything. It's draped off his shoulders. His chest has a heart-size spiral pattern on it and parts of his body was coming off him as flames just like his hair.
Loke gulped as he said,"Zane. No. Don't.". "Don't what? Let you live with the false idea that you killed Karen. It was an accident! Anyone with two eyes and a brain can see that! This wasn't your fault!" said Zane in a deep mature male voice. He blasted Loke with turquoise energy and Lucy looked at him. "I'm trying to send him back to the Celestial World. I need you to open his gate as the backup! Do it now Lucy! I need your strength!" said Zane.
The blond hugged Loke much to his shock. "Open! Gate of the Lion! Take Leo back to the Celestial World! Please! Open!" screamed Lucy, crying. "Come on! Open!" said Zane, blasting him. "Calm down. I don't want to hurt you two any more." said Loke. "This isn't okay! I can't just stand by and let one of my Nakama die! A real friend doesn't let someone to die without fighting back! I can't live if I let that happen! Zane! Keep doing what you're doing! I'm going to do something stupid!" said Lucy.
Zane nodded as Lucy screamed. She began to release her magic power with Zane continued to blast Loke with his energy. "Open! Gate of the Lion!" shouted Lucy. "You got this Lucy! Show everyone the strength I see in you! That's why I've been so hard on you! You're not just a princess but a member of Fairy Tail! I should have said this earlier but I can be an idiot sometimes." said Zane as Loke looked at them in anger and shock.
The bright light covered the area with Ethernano sparkling from the rising pillar of light and the ground was shaking. "Lucy! Stop! You can't use all of your magic power like this! Zane! For the love of the gods, stop her please! I'm not letting any Celestial Wizard die because of me!" said Loke. "We won't give up on you Loke! We'll save you I promise! Lets do this! We'll open his gate by force and send you back!" yelled Lucy. "Stop!" yelled Loke.
Lucy screamed out,"Open! Gate of the Lion!". Zane placed his hands on Loke with him saying,"And I'll do it too! Come on! Open! I broke the Omni-Door when I was eighteen so this door should be easy!". "It isn't going to work you. They don't care about either of you! I'm responsible for Karen's death! They won't let me come back no matter what you said and do!" said Loke. "Screw the rules Wildcat! We're your friends and we don't give up on them no matter what!" yelled Zane.
Lucy screamed as she closed her eyes. The energy from her body stormed out of her and Loke saw that the golden light that covered them was gaining some turquoise in it. "You have to stop her right now Zane! She is going to assimilate with me! You're a god and she isn't! She's human! If she doesn't stop, you'll disappeared too! What will Natsu think if you vanish! Please don't give me more guilt for what I've done!" yelled Loke through his tears.
Zane looked at him as he said,"Wildcat. Neither one of us is going to stop until that gate is wide open. We won't let you die!". "What's the point of having power if you can't use to protect the people who you care about! Natsu would do this if he was here! Gray would! Everyone in Fairy Tail would do this if they were here! You're my Nakama Loke!" yelled Lucy. "You didn't kill her Loke. I promise to find the person who did and make them pay!" yelled Zane.
Lucy nodded as ehe yelled,"If that's against the rules, we'll just change it!". "My old friend is a fucking moron from making the biggest mistake in his life! Your life isn't on a set path! No one deserves to die for protecting your friend!" yelled Zane. The raw Ethernano was siphon out control before time just stopped. Loke and Lucy were pushed away from each other as Zane stood there. Loke's glasses hit the floor with Loke feeling a powerful presence. "No. It can't be." muttered Loke.
He turned his head 180 degrees and looking up into the air. The stars were swirling in the sky as the water from the waterfall soared up into a large vortex. "You two! Hang on to each other!" said Zane with a serious look. The two nodded as their eyes dilated with surprise as their jaws dropped slightly at the slight. A flicker of light appeared within the vortex. "How is this possible Zane?!" said Loke. "And do you mind telling me what's going on?" said Lucy.
Zane nodded as he said,"Lucy. I would like you to meet the Celestial Spirit King Eldon or the Magnus of the Stars.". Out of the vortex, a gigantic, humanoid Celestial Spirit stood there. He had a imposing and broad shouldered figure. His most striking feature is probably his white, oversized mustache. It's long enough to diagonally reach his upper torso when he is still and almost extending past his shoulders. It has massive and extremely scruffy ends.
There is some stubble located on his chin. His red, pupil-less eyes are most commonly outlined by a deep shade and has a slight hint of wrinkles on his face. The spirit is clad in a full set of plate armor at all times. The upper part of his torso is covered in a chestplate which are linked to the massive, overlapping pointed pauldrons. His arms are protected by couters ,which happen to sport a spiked protrusion, and by gauntlets reaching up to his upper forearms.
Underneath, he wears dark chainmail. A dark belt with a simple squared buckle circles his waist, securing a light garment reaching down to his knees. It's wide open on the front to reveal the waistguard located underneath. It's consisting of two pointed plates ,each resting on top of a rectangular leather section, with both such sections being secured in the middle by a belt. It's bears a more ornate buckle than the upper one and in a shape of a four-leaf clover.
He wears dark pants. He dons cuisses secured by leather bands, pointed poleyns, greaves which consist of two distinct overlapped plates, and sabatons over barely visible dark footwear. The King sports an open helmet. It's adorned just above its opening by a stylized upside down star and with a small, fin-like ornament jutting out from each side. The helmet has a pair of massive horns pointing upwards on its sides as well as a plumage on top of it.
This consist of three to four distinct feather-like ornaments. It has thin starting sections enlarging into thick tufts. He has a massive dark cape secured around the King's neck by a light, round clip. It has an end left hanging over his upper torso and extremely torn lower edges. Despite the lack of wind on his end, his cape is fluttering. The giant had his arms crossed and looked down at the three in a mixture of anger and interest.
Loke blinked as he said,"What in the gods name is the Celestial Spirit King doing here?! He shouldn't be here.". "He's the king? Like the ruler of all spirits?!" said Lucy in awe and shock. "Took you long enough Eldon. What kept you from coming here to see two of your oldest friends? Traffic?" said Zane. "Old friends. It's good to see you. You and Rythos are two Magnus who fraternize with humans and lower beings." said Eldon.
Zane looked at him as he said,"So did you forgot about Phora or what? She fraternized with humans just because I was friends with Rythos and he had human friends other than me. She claims that she only did what she did because of that but to be perfectly honest with you, she's already a confusing character to begin with.". Both Loke and Lucy were confused about this and decide not to comment on it.
Eldon sighed as he said,"We'll talk about this later. Leo. You've broken a rule that both spirits and wizards obey. Taking the life of a key holder is forbidden under any circumstance. It was not by your hand but you did cause your summoner's death Loke. You have been banished from the Celestial World for the rest of time. The Eazairvian can't break through and Zane knows this but he tries anyway.". "You got this idiot right Lucy?" said Zane.
The Cross Species looked at Lucy who stood up. "Hold on! That isn't fair whatsoever!" said Lucy as she glared at him. "Lucy. Zane. Just stop both of you!" said Loke. "Old friend. Human woman. I've made a choice and it'll stay that way despite my feelings on the subject. I have to be impartial to all spirits. The current Leo has broken the law and you need to accept that. The both of you but mainly the stubborn fool who has broken more rules than I can count." said Eldon.
Loke looked at the duo with him thinking to himself,"I know Zane can get people's attention due to his overwhelming presence and the two being old friends. Lucy on the other hand. She's a nobody but he came anyways. Why would he care about what she thinks?". "Loke has been suffering in the human world for three long years! He did this all for his friends! Aries would be hurt by Karen but he stood up to her!" yelled Lucy.
Eldon looked down at Lucy with him saying,"Don't you think I know that? I can see all and to see an old friend in a fragile state is heartbreaking.". "You can't be serious. Actually, I know you and too damn well. You and Loke are still friends! You know the Omniverse saying. You always help your friend in their time of need! Loke is here and we can help him! If you don't, I'll force you to open them you mustached bastard!" said Zane.
Lucy smiled as she said,"Nice nickname for once.". "Thanks. I've been calling him that for years but you're the first one to say that it's good. Rythos says that compared to my other nicknames for beings, it's subpar." said Zane. "Karen died because she took on a job that she couldn't handle just because she was too stubborn to accept Loke's plea for help! He had nothing to do with her death and I bet you know who does! You can see all right?!" yelled Lucy.
The blonde clenched her fists with her saying,"You have to change your verdict because he's innocent and no one deserves to die if they didn't do anything wrong!". Her magic power began to come off her body and she was bathed in a intense yellow light. "Just stop Lucy! It doesn't matter if the verdict is changed. I don't want to be forgiven! I just want to disappear and free of this guilt! It's been hurting me for three long years!" pleaded Loke, tears coming down in his cheeks.
Zane slapped Loke with him saying,"Do you think Aries would want you to die?! No one deserves to die just because they were helping a friend!". "We won't let you die! You dying isn't going to bring back Karen back! All your death is going to do is create more sadness to those who cares about you! Me and Zane will feel bad for you! You did nothing wrong because there is nothing wrong from protecting the people who you treasure!" screamed Lucy.
She felt a hand on her shoulder with her turning to see Zane smiling. "Lucy. Lets do this together because I don't want Wildcat to die." said Zane. "Right!" said Lucy. A bright flash covered the area with the ground underneath Lucy breaking to break below her and Loke closed his eyes. Loke didn't notice that Lucy's mate mark was glowing red. "It seems that you're helping her even though you're not here." thought Zane as he increased the power.
The lion spirit opened his eyes and they widened. "No. It can't be that." said Loke. "I won't let you die Loke! Natsu and Zane gives their all to protect what they care about! Natsu almost died when Phantom Lord attacked and Zane fought against a wizard saint just to protect me! It's my turn to step and protect my nakama! Open! Everyone's gate!" yelled Lucy. She made all of her celestial spirits appear around her and Zane.
Loke's eyes widened as he said,"Cancer, Crux, Hali, Horologium, Lyra, Plue, Sagittarius, Taurus, and Virgo. You summoned all of them at once! Not even Karen could do that!". Lucy turned back to face Loke with her saying,"Do you think the bonds you've made in the past three years mean nothing to you?! If you were to die, you would leave me and Aries plus everyone here behind! Think about the fond memory you have with us! Is that what you want?!".
The spirits looked at Loke with a neutral stance. Zane flew up to Eldon's face and he said,"You know what it feels like to lose another. I've lost so many but I'll never die just to be with them again or bring them back. No one deserves to go through what I've been through! Don't put Lucy through that or else. You know what I can do when I'm really mad and go all out on people who hurt my treasure.".
Lucy smiled as she stood proudly before losing her energy and falling down to the ground. As her body trembled, Zane warped behind her and caught her. "You did a great job Lucy. I'm happy to consider you my friend." said Zane. "Everyone who came here feels the same Loke. They're my friends your highness." said a weak Lucy. "Friends?" muttered Loke. "If you're a celestial spirit or whatever a Magnus is, you can sympathize what Aries, Loke, and Zane have been through!" said Lucy.
The spirit looked at them with him saying,"You're an idiot for letting her go this far Zane. I can't let another wizard die in front of me! Don't risk my life for yours Lucy!". "Eldon. She is like her mom Layla and her identical twin/ancestor Layla. You can see the great potential in her don't you? If you don't, I guess you can't see everything connected to your kingdom. Even with your powerful sight Eldon, you can still be blinded." thought Zane.
Eldon heard his friend's thought and sighed. "I see. Hearing you speak so highly of two old friends of mine had led me to think that it wasn't his actions but the rule itself that should be brought into question. I did not want to lose any more of my friends but can I stand by and let a friend die? No. I can't. Leo was force to commit his crime to protect Aries, his fellow spirit. Both the human girl is willing to risk her life to save Leo." said Eldon.
The Magnus looked at Zane with him saying,"And since my old friend is helping, I'm moved by the bonds beings of the Omniverse can share. I shall make an exception in his case. Leo. You can come back home and be prepared for Hali and Nerida.". "Yeah. Those two are going to be mad at you for this Wildcat. Lucy. Nice job making this stubborn old fool see reason. He can be blinded so easily." said Zane, smirking.
Lucy smiled with her saying,"You're not half bad you mustached bastard!". The blond threw him a thumbs up with Eldon smiling. "You're pardoned. Be thankful to how the Omniverse or the stars itself gives us a way to live our lives." said Eldon. "I have to make it up to her. Please sir." said Loke as he bowed to Eldon. "Hey! What about me Wildcat?!" said Zane, pouting. "Like you need any more power Zane." said Lucy, earning a chuckle from Eldon.
Eldon nodded as he said,"Leo. If you still want to atone for your mistake, listen to this. I order you to live your life in the service of the human girl who risked her life for yours. Help Zane out once in a while too. He's a good person after all. Both of them are loyal to you so protect them with your life.". After saying that, he vanished into the stairs. Time returned back to normal with Loke's glasses falling to the ground.
Loke's face was covered in tears being that Lucy smirked. "You heard your orders Wildcat." said Lucy with a look. "Yeah. I think my first order will be for you to go recover from your injures and come back to serve Lucy like the loyal knight. I trained you to be. And Lucy, Wildcat is my nickname for him. Don't steal it." said Zane. He deactivated Astral Form with Loke standing up and extend his hands out to the duo who saved his life. "Lucy. Zane." said Loke.
The two nodded as they grabbed his hands. "Thank you both. I look forward to working with you and being your knight whose light shine through the darkness." said Loke. He faded away as Lucy held a golden key in her hand. The blonde smiled as she looked beyond the waterfall with a smile. "Let's go home Zane. I think we should...." said Lucy. She passed out as Zane caught her. "Easy Lucy. You just unleashed a high amount of magic power and well, you can't hear me can you?" said Zane.
Lucy was quiet as Zane said,"I know that Natsu will be mad at me since I took you from him but you need to rest at my place. Now come on.". He warped the two away and reappeared in the Omniversal Chateau. Zane placed her in the guest room and he left her alone. He went to the terrace and looked to see the stars above him. The Leo constellation reappeared in the night sky and Zane smiled upon seeing Leo return back home. "Old friend." said a voice.
Zane looked to see Eldon ,much smaller, appear behind him and he said,"Hey you. Coming to see how Lucy is doing after seeing her pass out? She's doing just fine. I think she bit off more than she can chew but that's how a being gets stronger.". "Indeed. She released a powerful storm of magic energy. I'm sure that she could have convinced me without your assistance. Tell her thank you for saving Loke." said Eldon, vanishing. Zane smiled as this day ended with a smile rather than tears.
Next time,
With Loke spared from death, Lucy gained a new spirit or friend to rely on. Will Zane tell her about how he knows Anna and Layla? Will Eldon make a return in Fairy Legion? This and more next time on Fairy Legion!
Eldon sighed as he said,"We'll talk about this later. Leo. You've broken a rule that both spirits and wizards obey. Taking the life of a key holder is forbidden under any circumstance. It was not by your hand but you did cause your summoner's death Loke. You have been banished from the Celestial World for the rest of time. The Eazairvian can't break through and Zane knows this but he tries anyway.". "You got this idiot right Lucy?" said Zane.
The Cross Species looked at Lucy who stood up. "Hold on! That isn't fair whatsoever!" said Lucy as she glared at him. "Lucy. Zane. Just stop both of you!" said Loke. "Old friend. Human woman. I've made a choice and it'll stay that way despite my feelings on the subject. I have to be impartial to all spirits. The current Leo has broken the law and you need to accept that. The both of you but mainly the stubborn fool who has broken more rules than I can count." said Eldon.
Loke looked at the duo with him thinking to himself,"I know Zane can get people's attention due to his overwhelming presence and the two being old friends. Lucy on the other hand. She's a nobody but he came anyways. Why would he care about what she thinks?". "Loke has been suffering in the human world for three long years! He did this all for his friends! Aries would be hurt by Karen but he stood up to her!" yelled Lucy.
Eldon looked down at Lucy with him saying,"Don't you think I know that? I can see all and to see an old friend in a fragile state is heartbreaking.". "You can't be serious. Actually, I know you and too damn well. You and Loke are still friends! You know the Omniverse saying. You always help your friend in their time of need! Loke is here and we can help him! If you don't, I'll force you to open them you mustached bastard!" said Zane.
Lucy smiled as she said,"Nice nickname for once.". "Thanks. I've been calling him that for years but you're the first one to say that it's good. Rythos says that compared to my other nicknames for beings, it's subpar." said Zane. "Karen died because she took on a job that she couldn't handle just because she was too stubborn to accept Loke's plea for help! He had nothing to do with her death and I bet you know who does! You can see all right?!" yelled Lucy.
The blonde clenched her fists with her saying,"You have to change your verdict because he's innocent and no one deserves to die if they didn't do anything wrong!". Her magic power began to come off her body and she was bathed in a intense yellow light. "Just stop Lucy! It doesn't matter if the verdict is changed. I don't want to be forgiven! I just want to disappear and free of this guilt! It's been hurting me for three long years!" pleaded Loke, tears coming down in his cheeks.
Zane slapped Loke with him saying,"Do you think Aries would want you to die?! No one deserves to die just because they were helping a friend!". "We won't let you die! You dying isn't going to bring back Karen back! All your death is going to do is create more sadness to those who cares about you! Me and Zane will feel bad for you! You did nothing wrong because there is nothing wrong from protecting the people who you treasure!" screamed Lucy.
She felt a hand on her shoulder with her turning to see Zane smiling. "Lucy. Lets do this together because I don't want Wildcat to die." said Zane. "Right!" said Lucy. A bright flash covered the area with the ground underneath Lucy breaking to break below her and Loke closed his eyes. Loke didn't notice that Lucy's mate mark was glowing red. "It seems that you're helping her even though you're not here." thought Zane as he increased the power.
The lion spirit opened his eyes and they widened. "No. It can't be that." said Loke. "I won't let you die Loke! Natsu and Zane gives their all to protect what they care about! Natsu almost died when Phantom Lord attacked and Zane fought against a wizard saint just to protect me! It's my turn to step and protect my nakama! Open! Everyone's gate!" yelled Lucy. She made all of her celestial spirits appear around her and Zane.
Loke's eyes widened as he said,"Cancer, Crux, Hali, Horologium, Lyra, Plue, Sagittarius, Taurus, and Virgo. You summoned all of them at once! Not even Karen could do that!". Lucy turned back to face Loke with her saying,"Do you think the bonds you've made in the past three years mean nothing to you?! If you were to die, you would leave me and Aries plus everyone here behind! Think about the fond memory you have with us! Is that what you want?!".
The spirits looked at Loke with a neutral stance. Zane flew up to Eldon's face and he said,"You know what it feels like to lose another. I've lost so many but I'll never die just to be with them again or bring them back. No one deserves to go through what I've been through! Don't put Lucy through that or else. You know what I can do when I'm really mad and go all out on people who hurt my treasure.".
Lucy smiled as she stood proudly before losing her energy and falling down to the ground. As her body trembled, Zane warped behind her and caught her. "You did a great job Lucy. I'm happy to consider you my friend." said Zane. "Everyone who came here feels the same Loke. They're my friends your highness." said a weak Lucy. "Friends?" muttered Loke. "If you're a celestial spirit or whatever a Magnus is, you can sympathize what Aries, Loke, and Zane have been through!" said Lucy.
The spirit looked at them with him saying,"You're an idiot for letting her go this far Zane. I can't let another wizard die in front of me! Don't risk my life for yours Lucy!". "Eldon. She is like her mom Layla and her identical twin/ancestor Layla. You can see the great potential in her don't you? If you don't, I guess you can't see everything connected to your kingdom. Even with your powerful sight Eldon, you can still be blinded." thought Zane.
Eldon heard his friend's thought and sighed. "I see. Hearing you speak so highly of two old friends of mine had led me to think that it wasn't his actions but the rule itself that should be brought into question. I did not want to lose any more of my friends but can I stand by and let a friend die? No. I can't. Leo was force to commit his crime to protect Aries, his fellow spirit. Both the human girl is willing to risk her life to save Leo." said Eldon.
The Magnus looked at Zane with him saying,"And since my old friend is helping, I'm moved by the bonds beings of the Omniverse can share. I shall make an exception in his case. Leo. You can come back home and be prepared for Hali and Nerida.". "Yeah. Those two are going to be mad at you for this Wildcat. Lucy. Nice job making this stubborn old fool see reason. He can be blinded so easily." said Zane, smirking.
Lucy smiled with her saying,"You're not half bad you mustached bastard!". The blond threw him a thumbs up with Eldon smiling. "You're pardoned. Be thankful to how the Omniverse or the stars itself gives us a way to live our lives." said Eldon. "I have to make it up to her. Please sir." said Loke as he bowed to Eldon. "Hey! What about me Wildcat?!" said Zane, pouting. "Like you need any more power Zane." said Lucy, earning a chuckle from Eldon.
Eldon nodded as he said,"Leo. If you still want to atone for your mistake, listen to this. I order you to live your life in the service of the human girl who risked her life for yours. Help Zane out once in a while too. He's a good person after all. Both of them are loyal to you so protect them with your life.". After saying that, he vanished into the stairs. Time returned back to normal with Loke's glasses falling to the ground.
Loke's face was covered in tears being that Lucy smirked. "You heard your orders Wildcat." said Lucy with a look. "Yeah. I think my first order will be for you to go recover from your injures and come back to serve Lucy like the loyal knight. I trained you to be. And Lucy, Wildcat is my nickname for him. Don't steal it." said Zane. He deactivated Astral Form with Loke standing up and extend his hands out to the duo who saved his life. "Lucy. Zane." said Loke.
The two nodded as they grabbed his hands. "Thank you both. I look forward to working with you and being your knight whose light shine through the darkness." said Loke. He faded away as Lucy held a golden key in her hand. The blonde smiled as she looked beyond the waterfall with a smile. "Let's go home Zane. I think we should...." said Lucy. She passed out as Zane caught her. "Easy Lucy. You just unleashed a high amount of magic power and well, you can't hear me can you?" said Zane.
Lucy was quiet as Zane said,"I know that Natsu will be mad at me since I took you from him but you need to rest at my place. Now come on.". He warped the two away and reappeared in the Omniversal Chateau. Zane placed her in the guest room and he left her alone. He went to the terrace and looked to see the stars above him. The Leo constellation reappeared in the night sky and Zane smiled upon seeing Leo return back home. "Old friend." said a voice.
Zane looked to see Eldon ,much smaller, appear behind him and he said,"Hey you. Coming to see how Lucy is doing after seeing her pass out? She's doing just fine. I think she bit off more than she can chew but that's how a being gets stronger.". "Indeed. She released a powerful storm of magic energy. I'm sure that she could have convinced me without your assistance. Tell her thank you for saving Loke." said Eldon, vanishing. Zane smiled as this day ended with a smile rather than tears.
Next time,
With Loke spared from death, Lucy gained a new spirit or friend to rely on. Will Zane tell her about how he knows Anna and Layla? Will Eldon make a return in Fairy Legion? This and more next time on Fairy Legion!
