"I admit defeat," I whispered, to no-one in particular as I watched Lucy confess her true feelings to Hibiki. Actually I'd admitted defeat the week before when Wendy had healed Lucy and then she'd proceeded to spend the night with him, (I'd only seen a little of the action as Virgo and Aries had ganged up on me to knock me out...but from what I'd seen Hibiki was a lucky man). She must be serious about her feelings, to let him be her first time, because Lucy wasn't the type to just sleep with the first man to be interested in her...I know this from first hand experience; I'd tried and failed many times to sleep with my wonderful blonde owner.
"I think your priorities are slightly misplaced right now, Nii-san," Virgo stated pointing towards the large black and blue dragon looming over our master's head...oh I'd forgotten about that guy. I watched as its roar sent Lucy flying along with the rest of the other fairy tail members, destroying that part of the forest where they'd been standing.
"Crap!" I gasped at the amount of destruction, Lucy is in serious danger! And I can't go and help her, damn it!
"Leo, what do we do?" Aries cried, coming up to me tears in her large eyes.
"I don't know Aries, I really don't," I said pulling my tearful friend into a hug. Trying to comfort her in some way. I continued to watch in horror as Master Makarov grew into his Titan form to try and hold off the dragon, so that everyone else could have a chance to escape. Maybe Lucy had a chance after all...or maybe not!
"What are Lucy-sama and her friends doing?" Capricorn, Lucy's newest addition, questioned as we gaped at their idiocy. They had all returned, in effect, to their graves, I mean yes Fairy Tail taught us to put our nakama first, but this time maybe the sacrifice was needed to save everyone else.
"Where's Sagittarius?" Mini called, floating over with her twin Gemi to see what and how everything was going in Earth land.
"There," I pointed to where Lucy had called him to assist her in the joint attack on Acnologia.
"Wow they have guts," Gemi giggled, as their unison raid pushed tall dark and nasty back into the ocean. We'd seen many masters fall to this monster over the years and we REALLY didn't want to lose our current one to him too...she was the best or in some cases second best owner any of us had, had in a long time or at all!
"Yep that's our Lucy-hime enough guts to take on a dragon," I gloated proudly, again forgetting the imminent danger she was facing, until the next moment when my face fell and my spirit magic froze in my veins. Tall, dark and nasty floated up from the water into the air and began to suck in magic from the surrounding area, readying its real breath attack.
Not again I couldn't lose another master like this, not while I couldn't do anything to help her, and I knew every other spirit in our world felt the same way (even the ones who weren't contracted with her) because we all knew just what a good master/friend she was to all of us. Even Aquarius felt the same way about Lucy, even if she didn't show it very well. As I was thinking that I realised I must be feeling the same way as Hibiki but to him she died the moment the communication got cut as Lucy flew away from him. I did't think he'd be taking this turn of events too well either...
"Why are they all just holding hands?" Virgo shouted, wow that's unusual for her to lose her composure or her monotone. Well once again it looks like I missed some important information while I'd been lost in my thoughts.
"Run away you stupid girl!" Aquarius screamed clutching onto Scorpio, as Acnologia let loose his attack on the Island (see I told you she liked Lucy).
"AH," We all cried as we had to close our eyes due to the blinding flash produce from said attack. As the flash died down and we could see again..the site that greeted us made me wish I still couldn't see. Tenroujima was gone and Acnologia was flying away looking rather smug with himself.
"I'm sorry...she's gone," Aries whispered burying herself back into my chest.
"It can't be true," I muttered into Aries hair trying to hide my own tears. I was desperately trying to see if our contract was still in place or for any sign of Lucy's magical pressure but I couldn't get anything. She couldn't be gone I couldn't believe it!
"Goodbye everyone."
"please watch over Hibiki for me my loyal lion."
"Huh," we all looked around.
"Did you hear that-ebi?" Cancer asked looking at us all in turn.
"I heard Lucy saying goodbye we are," Scorpio said looking at Aquarius who nodded her agreement. All the other spirits nodded agreement.
"Did anyone hear her say anything more?" I asked wondering if maybe someone else had heard the second part...I doubted it due to just what it entailed and the fact she said my loyal lion.
"No," Everyone said, guess my hunch was right then.
"What did hime ask of you nii-san?" Virgo asked having reverted back to her normal persona, all apart from her watery eyes.
"She asked me to watch over Hibiki for her," I deadpanned still not too thrilled at the idea. Aries stiffen in my arms, she was probably worried what I'd do seeing as I'd been so upset about them getting together, and as I'd already stated I wasn't thrilled by this order.
"It must have been only directed at you nii-san," Virgo simple said.
"Will you?" Gemi inquired floating around my head then settled on one of Aries horns.
"Will I what?" I huffed, I found the twins hard to deal with at times.
"What over Hibiki," Mini finished floating over to rest on Aries other horn.
"Why not," I shrugged. "I've got nothing better to do now anyway." I sighed trying to fein boredom as I turned my head to see how Lucy's lover was faring. This had been my masters last request! I couldn't say no to that woman anyway and now that she's gone I'm not gonna start.
"Aries?" I asked looking down at my pink haired friend.
"I'm sorry," She whimpered moving her head from my chest to look up at me.
"Don't be sorry you silly sheep," I scolded playfully. "I just wanted to ask if you'd like to help me with my job."
"O..okay," She stuttered finding it hard not to at I'm sorry to everything...Why did I ever love Karin again? Look what she'd done to Aries! I took her hand in mine, deciding to leave my mental rant till later, and took us over to where we stationed bean bags, for when we wanted to watch the human world...guess us Zodiac spirits will be using this area a lot more now seeing as our only keys had gone when Lucy had been destroyed. For just a second I was jealous of the silver keyed spirits as they still had a chance at getting another owner. I shook that thought right out of my head I wanted no other owner but Lucy!
"Right you sit here and tell me what I miss while I fetch us some snacks," I winked at her and left in search of food, grieve makes you hungry! After I'd found all of what we would need I returned to Aries. "So how's he doing?"
"Um..not well," Aries replied taking a bag of Doritos off me to start on. I looked to the plasma like portal to see pale white Hibiki holding an emotional Eve as Master Bob read the list of suspected dead, I see what she meant. I saw my old guild Master stop riding the list and look solely at Hibiki, oh I see what's coming next.
"Lucy Heartfilia." He said his expression was one of genuine sadness as I think everybody knew just how much Lucy had meant to Hibiki. I saw the man's face pale even more and then his eyes went blank and he slumped over. Eve who was sat next to him was in fresh tears over hearing his neechans name called out seemed to catch Hibiki before he slumped to the floor.
"I think we could be in for an emotional ride here," I muttered as I saw two other blue pegasus's members, one being Jenny Realight, rush over and try to help the two guys in whatever way they could.
"Um...I think you..Could be right," Aries mumble mouthful of chips. Just what have I got myself into here?
