Chapter 1
Lucy's P.O.V
"Here we are! Chrysanthemum Shopping Mall." I announced proudly,
grasping my wallet that was, for once, full of money. When we
took on a hard job with a huge reward, we expected about half
the money to go to damage fees-as usual. But a surprising turn
of events led to no destruction and 150,000 Jewel in my wallet.
"FOOD COURT!" Natsu and Happy raced for the circle of
restaurants at top speed.
"Those two..." Gray shook his head. "See ya later, I'm going to
buy some new underwear-I'm low on..."
A fiery blush coated my cheeks, and Erza's face was so red that
she might've started sizzling. A tomato-faced Wendy stammered,
"U-um, Gray-san, if you could d-discuss your men's u-underwear
somewhere else..."
Gray walked off, leaving Erza to slap her own forehead in
disgust-quickly recoiling, for she was fully armored as usual.
Actually, I don't know how she managed not to pass out.
Wendy and Carla left to shop for cute clothing, and Erza found
and armor shop. Which was weird, because what kind of shop is
devoted to armor?
I guess I'm not one to talk, though. My eyes lit up as I read a
gleaming store sign-
CELESTIA
Unique Sliver Keys for all Celestial Spirit Wizards!
I ran nearly as fast as a Gray short on underwear to reach the
door.
The shop was orderly and tidy, with rack upon rack of silver
keys lining the walls. I walked across the velvet carpeting to
the Customer Service desk, wondering what kind of new friends I
would end up with after this.
"Hi, I'm looking for some powerful Silver keys, can you help me
find some?" I asked in my most polite voice.
The man behind the desk scrutinized me. "Here at the Celestia we
sell only the finest of keys that are a perfect fit to their
Celestial Spirit Wizard owners. We have sold to countless
wizards of great mastery, even the great Karen Lilica was
satisfied with the quality-"
I dangled my keys in the air. "First off, Karen was a horrible
woman who mistreated her spirits. Talk to Leo if you don't
believe me. Second, these are my Spirits. Could you help me find
some to match my powers?" I stated coldly, incensed by the
worshipping of Karen. Enough talk, let's get down to business.
His eyes bugged as he stared at my key ring. "Ten Zodiac
keys...five Silver keys...the legendary guild mark on the right
hand...that signature blond hair...it couldn't be... FAIRY
TAIL'S LUCY HEARTFILIA?!"
I was genuinely surprised. I was used to the frequent "It's the
Titania, Erza!" or "The Salamander, Natsu!" But I was just a
member of their team, a Celestial Spirit Wizard with an
impressive amount of keys.
"Y-yeah, that's me. So about the keys...?"
"Pleased to be at your service!" The man bowed and rushed off
with me right behind.
He displayed a set of silver keys. "These are a unique duo of
keys that are one-of-a-kind. These powerful Spirits must be
helpful to even you."
I inspected the keys. "Wait, what are these?" Gold showed at the
top and bottom of every key.
"Oh, yes, Lucy-sama, the cores are gold. That is why they are so
unique..."
My eyes narrowed. I had never seen gold-core Silver keys before.
"Cost?" I demanded.
"Only 10,000 Jewel for both, special discount for you,
Lucy-sama..."
This was very, very fishy. It was likely this was a fraud, in
which case I would expose it.
"I'll take it." I said, handing over 10,000 Jewel.
Natsu's P.O.V
I listened idly as Lucy explained to us about those two fishy
keys.
"Fish?!" Happy gasped as his imaginative mind conjured up images
of fish Spirits.
"No, Happy, not fish!" Lucy scolded him. "Now, everyone, I'm
going to open the first gate!"
Erza, Wendy, Carla, Happy, and I all nodded.
"Open, Gate of the Black Lynx! Ikuto!"
Ding-dong. The usual gate-opening sound echoed through the air.
I guess they were real spirits.
In a flash of light, a tall, slim, feline figure came into view.
as the light dimmed I made out shaggy midnight blue hair and a
pair of cat ears with a tail. Definitely lynx-like.
He jumped, panic etched on every line of his face for a split
second. Only a trained fighter could have picked up the quick
dart of his eyes across all of us before resuming a normal
stance, seemingly unfazed.
"You're the Spirit, Ikuto, correct? I am your new owner, Lucy."
"No, it's not correct. Whatever you people are expecting, that's
not me. and no one 'owns' me."
"A new spirit, perhaps?" Lucy mused. "Do you know of the
Celestial Spirit world? Anyone called Leo, Taurus, Gemini? A
Nicolas, maybe? Or Lyra?"
"Don't know any of them. Now, send me back, would you?" He
growled. His face was completely calm, but Erza's eyes narrowed.
"You have nothing to fear."
"I'm not afraid." he stated calmly, watching us closely. "Now,
if you can't send me back, I'm leaving." He leapt into the trees
and escaped on top of them with agility no human could possess.
A lynx, maybe. But not a human.
"Wait!" Lucy cried, lashing her whip. "River of Stars!" the
glowing blue and gold whip chased the Spirit-or whatever he was-
through the trees.
"Stop!" Erza silenced Lucy and her whip with a slice of her
hand. What was wrong with her? We had to catch the spirit guy...
"Erza, what are you doing?!" Gray yelled, and for once I agreed
with my rival.
"How would you feel if you were randomly transported into a
different world, surrounded by stranger who thought you were a
spirit?" Wendy spoke in her quiet voice.
"But he is a sp-"
"No, he's not." Lucy's face darkened. "None of my magical power
decreased when I summoned him. Not even a bit."
"Shouldn't we look for him, though?" Carla's ears twitched as
she questioned crisply.
"Yes, we should." I noticed that Erza had requipped into normal
clothing.
"I'M ALL FIRED UP!" I roared, rushing forward with a fist of
fire.
"Stop, Natsu!" Lucy attempted to grab me. "Remember what we
said-?"
I only caught the last echoes of her words as I continued ahead.
Wouldn't the catboy leave if we didn't hurry?
I spotted him lurking amongst the trees. Figures.
"Oy, Catboy!" I called up to him. "Come down already and tell us
who you are!"
"What the-" The guy touched back down onto the ground. "W-why is
your fist on fire?" he gasped.
"It's fire magic, haven't you heard of- MMPH GAAH FWAH!" I was
silenced by Erza coming down on me, literally. "What-" punch.
"do" punch. "you" punch. "think" punch" "you" punch. "are"
punch. "DOING?!" punch punch punch.
"Owww..." I muttered, ears still ringing as Erza proceeded with
a lecture that I promptly tuned out.
Five minutes later, everyone was gathered around the catboy, who
was pressed to a tree like a cornered animal. Which I guess he
was.
"Now," Lucy approached him. "do you mind explaining exactly how
you ended up here?"
