A new fresh Day and here I am, surrounded by dorks in a guild made for wizards. I was spending the day with Lucy. Leo's speech about me learning to trust others made me more open minded about this whole "punishment." I know Lilly would want me to at least try and get along with the blonde.

"Ready for this job, (Y/N)!" Lucy said squealing. It was the first time I said yes to come along on a mission.
"What I don't get is why wizards risk their lives for money." I complain yet again.
"Saving people who need our help is what wizards do. It brings us joy in watching them being grateful for our help. It's brings us all closer. And seeing that, is thanks enough for a wizard." She smiles picking the mission paper from the board. Nab steps over and continues to look for more jobs like always. Only been here two weeks and I've already wrapped my head around how things work around here. In about five minutes Natsu will pick a fight with Gray, and Wendy will try to stop it. The boys will knock over Ezra's strawberry cake, and war will break out. While I know the schedule, I still laugh every time. These.. wizards aren't half bad...

"More like joy for money." I mumble. Why can't I shut up!? Be nice!
Lucy sighs.
"So Lucy, what's this job about anyway?" Leo said popping out of no where.
"L-Leo?" I stutter, surprised to see the Lion.
"Loke what are you doing here?" Lucy asks giving him a small hug. Something tugged at my heart.
"Decided I wanted to join you lovely ladies." He flashes her a wink.
I groan while rolling my eyes.

"Alright with me! What about you, (Y/N)?" Lucy asks.
"I mean. I guess. Just don't get in my way, baka." I huff and cross my arms. I look away, eyes closed.
"I promise I'll be right behind you.." a soft gentle whisper trails behind my ear down my neck. Soft warm hands wrap around my waist, and a head rests on my shoulder.
"N-nyah!" I bolt away, my face as red as Ezra's hair.
"L-Leo!" I blush.
"How adorable." He says softly seducing me with his eyes.
"Ahem.." Lucy says giggling.
"Right- the mission!" Leo says saluting. I laugh.

"We have to defeat this creature and the reward is 200,000 jewels. That's enough for 2 months rent and a little extra to spend on!" It took Leo almost all he had to convince me to come. I haven't been on a job in forever, good thing I wasn't a shield just a slave.
"How come your team mate isn't coming? That flame brain." I ask as we proceed to head to the doors.
Lucy laughs, "Natsu's spending the day with Happy today." She responds.
"I don't get that exceed bond- but I bet they really care for each other." I say smiling to myself.
"What they have is the kind of bond us spirits have with our Keeper. Friendship." Leo whispers in my ear while giving me a wink.
Keeper.. does he mean owner?
No..
Our holder of our keys.

We go buy train tickets and decide to stay in the celestial spirit world to conserve Lucy's magic. A little alone time with Leo was jut what I needed.

"I noticed Lucy called you, 'Loke'. How come?" I said resting on the couch in the room I was stuck in.
"O-oh. Well I told you my story. Even how she saved me. After Karen's death, I was banished from the Celestial world, and I was slowly dying. In the mean time while I was alive, I gave myself a different name, Loke. I took on a different kind of magic, Ring magic."
"Another type of holder magic- like Celestial magic!"
"Exactly" he said poking my nose.
"So everyone knew you as Loke.." I whispered.
"Yeah. And as soon as my true self was revealed, I took the name, Leo the Lion with pride. Of course, my friends still call me Like time to time. I guess it takes some getting used to haha."
"I'm glad I know more about you." I said leaning on his shoulder.
"One day I hope to know more about you too as well.." he said resting his head on mine. We just sat there in silence, until finally, we were summoned.

-

Once we arrive the town was a mess! There was no time to react and we instantly got ready to attack. A monster, the size of a building was destroying Clover Town- ripping buildings apart. Lucy already evacuated the citizens, and now it was time to kill the beast.

"Let's go!" Lucy yells. I look at Leo and he gets prepared to fight. I wait for Lucy to hide but she doesn't- she takes out her whip, a celestial whip. My guess one of spirits gave her it- but why isn't she hiding? Don't tell me...she's..
"fighting with us-" I whisper.
"Alright, lets do this!" She cheers, standing next to Leo. I focus back on the goal and nod.

"Lion Brilliance!" Leo shouts,

"Multiple Summons!- Gemini, Taurus and Aquarius!" Chanted Lucy.
I heard of that spell! It allows its user to summon up to 5 spirits! But- it's drains the wizards magic drastically.. The monster notices us and quickly charges with full speed. With a loud roar it aims at Lucy but with her Fleuve détoiles whip, she catches the arm swinging backwards. Leo takes a punch at the beast knocking him to the floor and Aquarius uses her water to wash him up in a spinning tornado. Taurus takes the opportunity to swing his ax at him. It continues like this, for hours until Lucy runs out of magic and it's down to me and Leo. Everyone else vanished back to our world except for Gemini.

"I've had enough of you hurting my friends! Gemini! Now it time to save them!" The twins quickly pair together and form a copy of Lucy. They latch arms as Lucy summons her grand spell,

"Survey the Heavens, Open the Heavens...
All the stars, far and wide...
Show me thy appearance...
With such shine.
Oh Tetrabiblos...
I am the ruler of the stars...
Aspect become complete...
Open thy malevolent gate.
Oh 88 stars of the Heaven
Shine!
Urano Metria!

...

It was quiet. Leo was gone. And Lucy laid barley standing. The beast still breathing. He looked at me, ready to attack. I stood still, too scared to move. It raised its sharp claws- I still didn't move- I wasn't trained for this!

"NO!!!" I waited for the pain. But it never came..

And I realized, I wasn't the one who screamed.

I open my eyes and Lucy blocked the attack, injuring herself. She jumped in front of me. She saved me.

A Celestial Mage...Saved Her Spirit.

I looked at Lucy, shaking in fear, then the beast.

The same anger I had when I witnessed Lilly die, filled within.
I heard Lilly's voice..
"Together.."

I wiped away tears and prepared my loudest and more powerful attack-

"SOUND OF THE GODS! ROAR YOUR THUNDER AT THY BEAST YOU SEE!"

The ground shook, the beast covered his ears, but even a deaf person couldn't ignore the screech of a god. Since I was immune to all sounds penetrating my eardrums- I didn't need to cover them. I loved the sound. And his ears started bleeding for only he and I could hear it. If anyone else heard it would've been fatal to them.

I marched up to him and looked into his eyes as he fell in his knees, the sound too loud for him to do anything else.

"Boom." I whispered, and a sound waves came from everywhere, gathering each noise from all the corners of the world combining into one giant noise aiming to the creature. And then it hit him- the sound was too powerful. It crushed him until he was as thin as a pancake. He crumbled to dirt, and became one with the earth..
I turn back- I ran to Lucy. She wasn't moving.
"Lucy- Lucy?! Don't you dare leave me too!" My heart pounded, tears fell down my face. She saved my life- she risked everything for me- I never even said goodbye!

"HELP! SOMEONE HELP US!" I scream. Soon the townsfolk came rushing to us.
"Please! Help her!" I yell. The man who looks like the mayor saw and yelled to the town-

"Someone get the paramedics!"
