The Relic Wizard

Chapter Seven - First Request

"Time to take on my first request..." Ryuu said to himself proudly.
It was early in the morning. 8 am exactly. Ryuu had been pumped up because it was about time he took on a job for himself. He needed the money after all so he didn't have to stay in the dorms anymore. Heck, he owed fairy tail for sleeping in the dorms anyways.
"What should I pick though..?" He asked himself.
"Hey Ryuu!" Lucy said, running over to him.
"Oh hi Lucy! What's up?" He asked.
"Nothing! I just saw you were taking on your first request! Could I help maybe?" She asked.
"Sure! You can help me pick if ya want!" He replied.
"I meant... With the job... You are a beginner after all so you need backup... But I guess boys don't like when girls wanna hang out so..." Lucy explained, pouting to make it more dramatic.
"It's fine! I just didn't understand... Wanna help me pick though? I want one with a lot of jewel but I only wanna take a battle request..." He explained.
"Oh! Okay then... Nothing too hard though... We don't want to over exaggerate here... Now do we?" Lucy asked.
"Uh... I'm pretty good at fighting... Erza said I was good..." Ryuu said.
"Even still... Nothing too ha-" she was cut off.
"What about this one? It says..." Ryuu started, "Unknown 'Earth maker' wizard causing trouble... Reward of ten thousand jewel if taken down... Report to magic counsel if the wizard has been found and captured..."
"Ten thousand?!? No way! He's probably some famous outlaw!" Lucy freaked out.
"His name is... 'Earthquake Mason'... Cool nickname!" Ryuu said.
"Earthquake..? *gulp*" Lucy stuttered.
"Yup! And he was last found in the canyon where the old broken train track used to be... They rebuilt it... But it was destroyed again by an earthquake caused by a wizard a couple days ago... Weird... Well... Let's go then!" Ryuu said cheerfully.
"Uh... No! Dumbass! You'll get killed!" Lucy yelled furiously, then smacking him in the face.
"Ow... Hey! That was a bit harsh!" Ryuu said angrily.
"Well maybe think next time you speak! You'll never come back alive!" She yelled.
"I said... Let's go!" Ryuu burst back into a cheerful state, grabbing her hand and ignoring her argument.
"Hey!" Lucy yelled, trying to pull back as he dragged her out the door.
(So then this happened...)
"We're here!" Ryuu said, looking across the canyon, then looking at Lucy laying on the ground, "Get up silly! We're about to fight a strong guy! No time for fooling around!"
"Shut up! You bastard! You dragged a young teenaged girl on the ground to a canyon! And a pretty one too..." Lucy argued.
Ryuu stopped and then spoke after a bit of silence.
"You're right... I'm sorry... You are beautiful and I shouldn't ruin that by dragging you on the ground like a play thing..." He said, getting worried, "You don't hate me... Right?"
Then a voice spoke. It sounded somewhat unfamiliar.
"Seriously... He's right... What a jerk... Seriously... The prick should lay off the ladies..." Said a man standing on a large mountain-like pillar.
The man was tall and had brown hair and eyes. His clothes were extremely ragged and dirty.
"Huh?" Ryuu stammered, looking at the man confusingly.
"Uh oh... Run!" Lucy screamed.
"Sorry babe... But I'm not letting you go anywhere... You might tell the council what I look like and that wouldn't be very nice..." The man said, "My names Mason... Maybe you read that pitiful-rewarded request note and already heard my stupid nickname... Seriously though... 'Earthquake Mason'? Pfft... What a load of bullshit..." Mason said angrily.
"No! Uh... Please?" Lucy asked, striking her sexiest pose possible at the time.
Mason closed his eyes to block them from seeing Lucy.
"Piss off..." He said angrily.
He put his hands towards the ground, then raising them quickly. As he did, rock spikes came from the ground.
"Mwahahahaha!" Mason laughed hysterically.
"Oh no..." Lucy said worryingly.
"I've got this..." Ryuu said excitingly.
"Okay... But... I know you'll need help... So..." Lucy explained, getting very worried, "Gate of the Ram! Aeries!"
A girl with pink hair and curly horns came from the gate, looking very worried.
"Yes... Lucy..? Am I entertaining anyone? I see two men... Please don't make me..." The girl said, pouting adorably.
Ryuu's heart started to beat faster as he looked at Aeries. He then came to his senses.
"Gate of the Maiden! Virgo!" Lucy shouted.
"Yes master? I'm at your service..." A girl with purple hair said after coming from the gate.
Ryuu's heartbeat again increased rapidly as he looked at Virgo. Ryuu was left confused at why he was excited.
"Don't worry Aeries! You're here to fight that earth freak! Not make him happy! Help Ryuu! Uh... Not the guy on the pillar... I'll introduce him later just Aeries, Virgo, fight that guy!" Lucy instructed, pointing at Mason.
"Hey now... Pointing is rude... So is calling people a freak... Shame on you young lady..." Mason said.
Mason rose a stone spike from the ground, cutting the back of Virgo's dress.
"Eep!" She squealed, grabbing her skirt and the torso of her dress.
"Oh don't be shy..." Mason said pervertedly.
"Fine then!" Virgo replied, throwing her dress away to reveal herself in just her underwear.
"*gulp* Uh... Virgo? Why did you do that?" Lucy stammered.
"I move easier, look sexier and am easy at seduction..." Virgo said, grabbing her bra.
"No! Virgo don't you dare!" Lucy said angrily.
"Huh? But how will I distract these guys so I can beat them up?" She asked, looking at Ryuu and Mason fighting.
"Okay... One... We only want to distract MASON!!! Not Ryuu! The one with crazy earth powers is our target! The guy with purple magic is our enemy... The one who's... Wait a second... Ryuu! Stop biting him you dumbass!" Lucy yelled furiously.
"I see..." Virgo said, digging a hole to Mason.
He looked at her and freaked out. Ryuu saw her and blushed.
"Hey baby... What's new? Wanna have fun?" Virgo asked, hugging Mason.
"Hey! I was joking before! I don't really want this! Uh..." Mason said, blushing.
"Huh? Well then why did you make me do that you fricking jerk! Pervert! Bastard! Prick!" She yelled, smacking him per insult across the face.
When she had finally calmed down a bit, she kicked him in his... Let's say it really hurt...
"Geez! I hate pervs! Piss off you dick!" Virgo yelled furiously.
Mason was lying on the ground crying. Virgo then looked at Lucy and gave her the thumbs up.
"Great job Virgo! When I need a hot daring girl to deal with a bad boy you sure do the trick!" Lucy said cheerfully.
"Thanks..." Virgo replied, putting clothes on.
Ryuu was still paralyzed at the sight of Virgo in her underwear.
"Ryuu? You alright?" Aeries asked.
"... Huh?!?" Ryuu asked.
"Are you okay?" Lucy asked him.
"Oh... Yes... Just a bit nervous... That's all..." Ryuu said.
"I'm sorry for making you see me half-naked... I'm Virgo... I know we got off to a bad start but maybe we can both understand my way of fighting style... I, as a woman, can seduce men... So yeah... Now what is your fighting style? I never saw... To busy seducing..." Virgo explained.
Ryuu stood silent.
"Uh... Ryuu?" Aeries asked.
"I'll explain about myself on the way back... Uh... Bring Mason... Would you? I feel weak around Virgo so I don't think I have enough strength to carry him myself..." Ryuu explained.
"You do? Heehee!" Virgo giggled.
"Lay off him..." Lucy said angrily.
"Why? You reserved him for yourself? Okay master..." Virgo replied.
"No way! I just don't like how you are such a freaking player! Women aren't supposed to be all sexy at every guy they see!" Lucy yelled furiously.
"You're just jealous... Try hard..." Virgo replied sassily.
"Stripper!" Lucy insulted rudely.
"Sexy wannabe!" Virgo insulted back.
"So I'm Aeries... Boys find me real cute and stuff but I think it's wierd cause I mean guys like all the girls they find and that's not really how I roll..." Aeries explained.
"I see.., I'm not like that... I don't even know what like a girl feels like..." Ryuu replied.
"Well... Normally it's when your heart beats real fast and stuff!" She said.
But... Does that mean that... Do I like Aeries AND Virgo!?! Ryuu thought worryingly.
