Chapter 1

It was a normal sunny day in the quiet, peaceful town of Magnolia in the land of Fiore, with the exception of one building that is; the world famous Wizards guild Fairy Tail. Within it's stone walls the guild's members were laughing, drinking and generally making merry, one particular wizard, the blonde and buxom (as described by sorcerer weekly) Lucy Heartfillia, was sat at a table with a nice cold strawberry milkshake chatting with her friend, guildmate and teammate the raven haired Ice make mage Gray Fullbuster. "No Gray there is nothing romantic between me and Natsu" she said with a sigh having had this conversation with 3 or 4 others that day and it was only 1pm, "you sure?" he replied "I mean he's always breaking into your room at night, he's always the one who saves you, he brought you to the guild in the first place...oh and apparently you two look really 'cute' together whatever that means." "Oh so that's why I keep getting asked, Mira has had one of her 'matchmaking ideas' huh?" At that moment Mira was making her rounds when Lucy called her over, "Hi Lucy, can I get you something?" "no thanks Mira actually I just wanted to ask how many people you've told that there's something between me and Natsu?" "Oh?! Er...he...he 3...or 4...ish" "Yeah I thought so *sigh* Mira I can tell you there is not now and never will be anything romantic between me and Natsu he's...not my type," "Rubbish! He's cute, he's funny he's..." before Mira could continue Lucy interrupted with something Mira wasn't expecting "and he's male! That's the problem." As the realisation of what she had just admitted sank in Laxus made his way over, "Yo Blondie" "your blonde too sparky" she replied making Mira and Gray's jaws drop further to the ground, "hehehe yeah well gramps wants us so let's go shall we?" "Yeah yeah I'm coming." The two left leaving Gray and Mira completely stunned, "so...she's...gay? did you know?" asked Mira breaking the silence, "I had no idea or that she had the guts to call Laxus 'sparky'...wow Luce is full of surprises huh?" "Yeah...hmm...I wonder if she has anyone she likes in the guild?" Mira replied as she began to puzzle out which of the guild's girls Lucy might have a thing for.

At the top of the stairs that led to the S-Class floor where the Master's office was Laxus stopped Lucy, "I wouldn't worry about those two Blondie, you finally 'coming out' may have been a bit of a bomb shell for them but I guarantee within 5 minutes they'll be planning how to match you up with one of the girls." "Yeah you probably right" she agreed, "wait, what do you mean "finally 'coming out'"? You already knew?" "Sure I did, I'm a lot more observant than most people and I've seen the looks you've been giving to a certain armour wearing..." "Whoa whoa let's not finish that sentence shall we!" she interrupted quickly as her face began to heat up. Before he had the chance to continue Lucy rushed over to the Master's office and knocked before the two of them entered, "ah! Lucy, laxus my boy thanks for coming so quickly, please take a seat." Said the miniscule Master directing them to the chairs in front of his desk, "the reason I called you here is that I've received an urgent request for the two of you." "Us? What kind of request?" asked Lucy, "Well apparently the Town of Canovia has been coming under attack from some form of water magic, the water itself is emanating from a field that is no where near a body of water yet the amount being produced is substantial. Before they sent the request a travelling detection mage tried to get close but was knocked back before he could get close. Apparently the water isn't acting like an attack but as if something has lost control and is fighting to re-gain it, he said that the magic signature coming from the area is truly immense, very powerful and...has the signature of a celestial spirit." "A SPIRIT!?" exclaimed Lucy "but the only spirit I've ever heard of with that kind of water power is Aquarius and she's with me...hang on a minute," she took a gold key from her belt and held it out to the side.

Open! Gate of the Lion: Leo

Appearing in a shimmer of gold light Loke bowed with respect for his master yet still had his signature cocky smirk "ah Princess, you've finally called me out for a date huh?" "erm...no actually I wanted you opinion on this request, master would you remind repeating it?" "Certainly" the diminutive master replied.

*After explanation*

"A water spirit out of control by the sounds of it" said Loke with an uncharacteristically serious face, "the Princess is correct that this cannot be any ordinary spirit, in fact I can only think of one spirit capable of doing this but I can't believe it could be him, I will need to consult with Crux and the Spirit King because if it is who I think it is you'll need their help." With a slight nod to Lucy and a look of worry Loke disappeared in a shower of golden light leaving the Master rubbing his chin, "I don't like the sound of this at all and the restrictions of the request will only allow me to send another S-Class mage to back you up. Luckily Erza just finished a job and arrived back in Magnolia 30 minutes ago, I will have her waiting for you at the train station," the two nodded and headed for the door "Lucy my dear might I have a moment in private first?" Laxus grinned "I'll meet you at the front doors...'Princess'" "SHUT IT SPARKPLUG!" she shouted after him as he bolted out of the door, laughing as he ran. Sitting back down she looked the elderly master in the eyes "so what's up master?" "my child would you let this wrinkly old man give you some advice?" "of course Master! Always!" "Thank you Lucy, my advice is: tell her how you feel." Lucy's eyes dropped to her lap "I can't...I'm too scared, what if she's repulsed by the idea or finds it hilarious? I...I don't think I could take that kind of rejection," "what you say is true BUT what if she accepts? Love is a wonderful thing my dear and letting it fester within you from fear would be a true waste. Besides, even IF she doesn't share those feelings your bonds of friendship will stand strong, she's not the kind of person to just blow you off after all." Lucy stayed quiet for a moment before heading for the door, just as she opened it she turned for a moment and whispered "I'll think about it" before bolting out of the door, "I hope so" the Master mumbled to himself "I really do."

*Time Skip: 1 hour later on the train*

After meeting up with the red haired re-equip mage Erza Scarlet and boarding the train Lucy explained the Job while Laxus did his very best not to look sick. "Has Loke returned with the information he promised yet?" Erza asked once Lucy had finished "not yet, which is odd for him," hearing a groan from the hulk next to her she couldn't help but grin, "awwwe Erza look, poor wittle Waxus is all motion sick." Erza giggled at Lucy's teasing causing the blonde to stare at the red haired beauty who's giggling she found so angelic, she couldn'r help but feel her cheeks heat up as Erza's eyes met hers and the two just sat there looking at one another for what seemed like an eternity. Eventually another groan from Laxus brought the girls to their senses making them look at suddenly rather interesting bits of wall. "*Cough cough* so...um...here Laxus" Lucy forced out as she handed him a bottle of pills from her purse, "Wendy made those with her Troia spell, 'guaranteed to make any dragon slayer feel 100%'," a few moments later Loke appeared in his usual shimmer of gold light. "Sorry I took so long there Princess but we had to be sure, the Spirit King believes agrees with me that this spirit is almost certainly from a set of keys that haven't been seen in nearly 8 millennia, the 'Gates of Olympus' or the 'God Keys'. Thousands of years ago they were the guardians of Earthland and the Spirit World and were far FAR more powerful than us Zodiac keys. Back then the Celestial Spirit world came under attack from a parasitic organism called 'the Flood', it infected Spirits turning them into monsters linked to its hive mind, The Gods had a spell that could eradicate the infection and free the spirit but they couldn't be everywhere, the fear was that once the Flood had 'consumed' all the inhabitants of the Spirit world it would convert itself somehow to be able to do the same to the human world. After centuries of holding the line against the Flood the Gods became desperate, the Flood was too strong and they were very close to overall victory so the leader of the Gods Chronus, the first and strongest of the Gods, was forced to use a last resort spell. It sealed all of the Flood away but at a huge cost, Chronus himself was also sealed away though no one is entirely sure where, all the God keys were returned to and locked within their temple in the spirit world called Olympus, which then disappeared and was lost. Finally...roughly 80% of the spirits infected by the Flood died during the extraction...it took the King nearly 2000 years to re-populate and repair what was lost." "Mavis..." Lucy whispered as she listened "so what do we do if it is one of these Gods?" "The King thinks that the water God Poseidon somehow became infected by a remnant of the Flood and was forced into the human world somehow, the Gods can hold back the infection within them but the longer its left the more of themselves they lose. Once I leave the King will download a one use only spell that will eradicate the infection but it is also 100% lethal to any human it hits so you must be careful." The three mages nodded with determination in their eyes which made Loke smile as he bowed before disappearing once more. Once the last of his golden light had gone Lucy's eyes went wide as she felt the download begin, all too quickly though they closed and her breathing evened out, to any passerby she was peacefully sleeping but the two other mages with her could sense the extremely powerful magic seeping into her mind from seemingly nowhere. A small and barely noticeable smile crept onto Erza's face, she always looks so cute when she sleeps she thought to herself, "Erza" Laxus said quietly getting the redhead's attention, "I know we've never exactly been the strongest of friends but as a guild mate and hopefully in some way friend I hope you listen to me when I say: talk to her! I can see in your eyes that your having feelings you weren't expecting for Blondie and it's confusing the hell out of you but...maybe, just maybe, she might be able to help you understand them." She could see the sincerity in the Blonde dragon slayers eyes and it surprised her, she knew it was true that the two of them were only just beginning to become friends but he was right and she knew it, though she couldn't help but fear what the buxom blonde would say if she told her.

A couple of hours later Laxus and Erza were walking through Canovia Town with a groggy Lucy a few steps behind trying to sort through what had been downloaded into her mind. By the time she had caught up they were close to the Mayor's office, suddenly a scream rang out catching their attention, with a silent agreement between them they set off at a run towards the scream. Arriving at the source of the commotion they found people checking damage that looked like it was caused by Juvia's Water Slicer but a much larger version, "is everyone alright?" asked Erza as they approached a rather formal looking gentleman, "yes indeed Miss Scarlet but thankyou for your concern" replied the gentleman, "you know her?" Lucy asked "I do indeed Miss Heartfillia as I do with yourself and Mr Drayer. Perhaps I should introduce myself: my name is Jeremiah Jeffries and I am both the Mayor of this fine town and the one who sent the request for Miss Heartfillia and Mr Drayer." "A pleasure to meet you sir and please feel free to call me Lucy, I was wondering if you could give us some more detail about the request, where the spirit is for example." "Certainly, we believe the spirit is in the field just over that hill though we've been unable to confirm it, these attacks on the town are entirely sporadic, they have no target and seem to occur randomly, all the other information we have was sent with the request. Oh! Pardon me I am mistaken, I never sent the reward information did I? Assuming you are successful you shall receive 6 million Jewel and the spirit's key if its retrieval is possible." After thanking the Mayor for the information the three mages set off towards the hill next to town, as they approached they could see glimpses of the spirit's water over the peak of the hill so, to be safe, Erza re-equipped into her Water Empress Armour. Sweet Mavis! Lucy thought to herself as they climbed the hill, she always looks so dam hot in those dam armours of hers! Huh...didn't I hear somewhere that she had found a seduction armour? I wonder what it...GAH! What am I doing?! This is hardly the time for this! Being so pre-occupied with her own imagination Lucy didn't notice one of the water attacks heading straight for her until it was too late to dodge, luckily Erza was much more attentive and was able to intercept the attacks and deflect it, "we must be cautious!" She exclaimed "these attacks are very powerful, I was only just able to deflect that one I may not be successful a second time." Nodding and paying careful attention to their surroundings the three mages made it to the peak of the hill, in the field before them was their target, he appeared to be human, was fairly tall and muscular, his brown hair was cut short and he had a neatly trimmed beard around his mouth. He was wearing a blue cloth toga and held in his hand a golden trident that was easily the same height as he was, but what worried Lucy was his skin, she could tell that it was usually a creamy white colour but it was going a greyish green colour in some places and whatever wasn't was covered in what looked like veins that were various shades of green. "Dam! This guy looks like shit!" Laxus couldn't help but exclaim, "we're running out of time! You two try and wear him out a bit, I need a clean shot before I can use the spell" Lucy ordered. Knowing what needed to be done Laxus charged forward with his lightning sparking around him, Erza re-equipped into her Lightning Empress armour and followed suit, the closer they got the louder they could hear screams coming from the spirit but these were not screams of anger or annoyance but of pain and suffering. The spirit sent another huge Water Slicer like attack at Erza who managed to dodge but to her horror saw another one ready to cast, the spirit began to attack but at the very last second re-directed the attack so that it went nowhere near the mages, he's still fighting it Lucy thought to herself as she gathered her magic and watched the others closing in. Laxus waited until the spirit blocked a lighting attack from Erza with a barrier of water before casting one of his faster spells.

Electro Ball

He fired a basketball sized sphere of lightning magic which sped towards its target at breakneck speed hitting home before the spirit could react. The spirit roared in pain as the electricity sparked through his body, he had to put in some real considerable effort just to overcome the near paralyzing effect of the magic and move just a little, out of the corner of his eye he could see his Armour wearing enemy charging at him with her spear, he knew he couldn't move enough to parry so, with great effort, he raised his trident an inch or two higher before bringing tapping the bottom against the ground. The small impact created a surprisingly large earthquake that easily knocked Laxus and Erza off balance, the spirit smirked as he watched Erza fall forwards and slide along the ground but stopped once he saw the smirk on her own face, quickly Erza fired a stream of lightning from the tip of her spear electrocuting him before he could react. Picking himself up off of the ground Laxus could see Erza carefully getting up while constantly electrocuting the spirit, quickly he figured out her plan and channelled his dragon slayer magic through his hands.

Lightning Dragon's Volt Storm

He unleashed a stream of lightning from his fingertips and palms, like something out of a Star Wars movie, which joined with Erza's creating an electrical cage the spirit couldn't escape from. Deciding this was the best chance they were going to get Erza looked to Lucy and shouted "NOW LUCY!" Lucy nodded and pointed both palms towards her target, strange white writing began to circle her as a magic unlike anything the other two mages had ever felt before rolled off of her like waves in the ocean. Her entire body began to glow and her voice became oddly monotone as she chanted the incantation stored in her mind.

Apertum est Caelum

Mediam Caeli

Omnia Caelestia Corpora

Adaperiat cor vestrum

Tuos Spiritus

Combures eum in tenebras

Et auferes malum

DIVINA LUX CAELI PURIFICATIONIS

A huge, white and blindingly bright cone of light erupted forth from the double layered magic circle the chant created and engulfed the still paralyzed spirit, from within the light the 3 mages could still hear the spirit's screams of pain but his voice had changed, it now sounded like hundreds, if not thousands, of voices all screaming at once. When the light faded into memory the 3 Fairy Tail mages couldn't help but stare at the sheer amount of damage the spell had caused to the land around it, though not before Lucy had dropped to one knee panting from the amount of power she had just expelled in one go. The grass that had been under the light and for about a meter either side had been reduced to ash and the ground beneath it had been turned into glass, but the biggest change was to the spirit himself, all the patches of green flesh and green veins had vanished and he was stood silently with closed eyes. "S-S-Such p-power" stuttered a bewildered and slightly tired Erza, "no wonder it's lethal to humans" Laxus replied his eyes wide open as he tried to process this latest occurrence, "Indeed slayer of the Lightning Dragon" said the previously silent spirit calmly as he open his sapphire eyes, "It would have reduced you entirely to little more than ash and yet you stood unafraid, I must commend you both on your bravery and offer my gratitude for ridding me of that repulsive parasite. Though I must give my most profound and heartfelt gratitude and far more to you Miss Heartfillia, were it not for you it would not have been long before the parasite consumed me entirely." "You *huff* know me?" Lucy asked wide eyed as she tried to catch her breath, "I do, your fame in the Spirit realm is known even to us God Keys so I cannot say I'm all that surprised the King trusted you with such a spell." By the time he had finished speaking Lucy had managed to catch her breath and had joined them, "regardless it is only proper that I introduce myself; I am Poseidon, God of the sea, rivers and earthquakes, a pleasure to meet you" "the pleasure is all mine believe me" replied a giddy Lucy, "this is Laxus Drayer and Erza Scarlet they're guild mates of mine," Poseidon bowed, "Hmmm" he said "I sense the presence of the Zodiac on you Miss Heartfillia, further proof of your impressive capabilities, if possible might I speak to one? The will be able to relay a message to the King for me." "Oh sure!" Kucy replied happily, "But which one? I have...never mind someone really wants to talk to you," she took the key she could feel heating up off of her clip and looked in shock, she hadn't expected it to be her but Lucy knew better than to ignore this particular spirit. Looking around she found a puddle a few feet away, squatted next to it and dipped the golden key into it.

Open! Gate of the Water Barer: Aquarius

Out of a swirl of water appeared Lucy's mermaid spirit Aquarius, giving Lucy an unusually cocky smirk rather than her normal pissed off glare, "so you are capable of following simple instructions huh brat?" she said sarcastically getting deadpan looks from all three mages. "A-A-Aqua?!" Poseidon stuttered "I-Is that really you Aqua?" Aquarius face softened as she looked at him, slowly she made her way over and embraced the Godly spirit in a hug whispering "yeah it's me, I missed you so much!" When they separated they couldn't help but laugh at the faces of the 3 mages before them, they were all wide eyed and their jaws had all dropped to the floor, "I take it you two are acquainted?" Lucy asked one she had regained some semblance of composure, "wow...you're so clever aren't you brat...because no one would've deduced that" Aquarius replied sarcastically. "AQUA! Do not be so disrespectful to your contract holder! Especially when that person's kindness and love for her spirits is so strong it has even reached into the realm of the gods!" With a surprisingly guilty look on her face Aquarius nodded before turning back to Lucy, "I apologise Lucy, as for your question the answer is: yes you could say we are acquainted, Poseidon is my Father."

Over the next few minutes the two spirits got a little re-acquainted while the three mages processed the surprising revelation that Aquarius not only had a father but a father that could make her act NICE! Eventually Aquarius returned to the Spirit World with an urgent message for the Spirit King leaving Poseidon with the 3 mages, "now then" he said with authority, "there is something you should know Miss Lucy but I must ask that both you and your two comrades swear to keep this a secret, telling your Guild Master is acceptable, in fact it would probably be wise though I must insist on no one else for now, do I have your word?" All three agreed without hesitation as their curiosity had gotten the better of them as to what could be so important, "Excellent then I shall start with the message I sent to the Spirit King: Olympus has fallen. When we were sealed within Olympus millennia ago we were unaware that a few Flood spores were sealed with us, over the millennia's they multiplied and grew in strength with the objective of releasing the seal Lord Chronus placed on the Great Hive Mind. Once they were strong enough they attempted to take us by surprise and infect us all at once, it succeeded but not enough to take control. I used most of my power to activate a failsafe Lord Chronus created, it locked my brothers and sisters within their keys and sent them to Earthland, doing so allowed the spores to reduce me to what you saw." "Looks like another war is brewing, Gramps will definitely want to hear this, oh and just so you know Poseidon, Fairy Tail will fight by your side! I'm sure of it!" said Laxus seriously, "Indeed" agreed Erza, "Dam right! I won't let this thing hurt any more Spirits!" Lucy exclaimed with fire in her eyes, "I thank you all" replied Poseidon "and I'm glad you think that way Lucy because I'm going to do something that hasn't been done since the very first Celestial Wizard, I am going to personally train you to be the 'Celestial High God Slayer'. I myself will be contracted to you like any normal spirit but you will be trained to use my powers as well as the powers of any Gods contracted to you, how to combine a few of them AND your own version of the anti-flood spell. There is however a condition: You must seek out the other 9 God Keys, by purifying them and convincing them to join us you will eventually become powerful enough to release Lord Chronus' seal on the Hive mind and eradicate the Flood all together! So...what do you say?" Lucy could barely stop herself from giddily jumping on the spot, "what do I say? Yes of course! I'd be truly honoured to accept!" Poseidon held out his hand which Lucy happily shook, "Then from this moment on I, Poseidon of the God Keys, hereby declare you to be the 'Celestial High God Slayer', my contract has no stipulations at all so you may call me whenever you wish. As for your training, that shall begin tomorrow once we have spoken to your guild's master, so for now I will bid you farewell...'Princess'", Poseidon vanished in Golden light with a smirk on his face leaving Lucy stood there grasping the most beautiful Gate Key she had ever seen, it was made of diamond and was a deep blue colour just like the ocean.

An hour later the three mages were sat on the train to Magnolia in a private compartment with Lucy sat next to Erza and Laxus snoozing on the opposite side, each with 2 million Jewel in their pockets from completing the job. "Are you ok Lucy?" asked Erza seeing fatigue in Lucy's eyes "yeah I'm just tired, that spell used over 90% of my magic reserves at once PLUS summoning Aquarius after that, put it this way I'll definitely sleep tonight" Lucy replied getting a giggle from the re-equip mage. Erza thought to herself for a moment, blushed, then re-equipped into her normal blouse and skirt before pulling Lucy down so she was resting against her with her head on her shoulder, "W-W-W-What?" Lucy stuttered out, "J-J-Just in case y-you doze o-off" Erza replied blushing madly "oh" Lucy whispered beginning to become depressed that that was her only reason. Sensing the sudden tension in the air Erza looked down at the Blonde worriedly "Lucy? I-Is something wrong?" Sighing at the question Lucy didn't know how to respond, her mind was going a mile a second weighing up the risks, eventually she made a somewhat uncertain decision. "No...yes...maybe, honestly I'm just not sure what to do...oh you know what, fuck it!" Without warning she shifted so that she was mere inches away from Erza's face staring her in the eyes "after everything that's happened today I...I need to just get this off of my chest. Erza I...I...ok I can do this...Erza I...love you" closing the gap before Erza could so much as blink Lucy tenderly pressed her lips against Erza's and kissed her, once the almost overwhelming shock had dissipated slightly Erza melted into the kiss and wrapped her arms around Lucy's neck pulling her closer. "I love you too Lucy" Erza whispered out once the two broke for air, "about dam time" said a drowsy Laxus making the two jump before he shut his eyes again and began to snore lightly.

Eventually the train reached Magnolia and the three mages disembarked, it was getting dark out by now and the three were very tired. "Well I don't know about you two but I'm going to bed, Gramps can wait until tomorrow" Lucy said as she unsteadily stumbled towards her home only to find Erza's arm around her waist helping her to walk, "I will assist you to your apartment, Laxus we shall meet at the bakery in front of the park at 10:30 tomorrow morning," Laxus nodded and walked away leaving the two girls heading for strawberry street. Stumbling through her front door Lucy was glad to be home but also a little sad as she knew Erza would be leaving in a moment, as if reading her mind Erza said "now that you are home safely I should be heading for Fairy Hills, I will see you tomorrow Lucy. " "WAIT!" Lucy shouted louder than she meant to slightly shocking Erza, "Erza it's late and Fairy Hills is a fair distance away so why don't you just stay here?" "Thank you for the offer Lucy but you don't have a spare bed" replied Erza not getting the hint Lucy thought she had made obvious, "well yeah but your my G-G-Girlfriend now right? So come sleep with me, believe me it's not like I'm going to try something I'm too dam tired for that tonight." Erza couldn't help but grin at the confirmation of their new relationship and re-equipped into her night ware which consisted of a pair of crimson panties and an oversized white t-shirt "in that case I would be delighted" she replied. Less than half an hour later Erza was snuggled up to the Buxom Blonde in said blonde's bed with Lucy wearing pretty much the same as Erza but the panties were blue and the shirt was black, "good night Erza, I love you" Lucy spoke softly as she began to drift into the most comfortable sleep she had ever had, "I love you too Lucy, sleep well" Erza replied closely following suit.
