Save Me, Please

Revenge

It's been a couple weeks since I last saw my Lion. Xeal was very upset that I made her lose. She had the right. I feel so awful... Now she's trying to track down Leo's master, Lucy Heartfilia was her name. She said that once she finds her she's going to fight her until she has to bring out Leo, and then make me watch as she beats him, then once he's out of the way, she'll fight that poor wizard and take her keys. It's all my fault and I don't know what to do....

[NOW! WE ARE GOING TO SWITCH OVER TO LEO'S POV]

I let her go. Lucy should've taken her keys while she was down, but as soon as Aries was sent back, her master woke back up and ran off to her guild members. I'm... I'm going to ask Lucy to let me go and look for her. I'll use my own strength, too. That way I don't hurt Lucy. I just have to get Aries back. She's been through so much and I haven't been able to do much to help her.

I've heard that her name is Xeal. She must've been the one to beat Karen. Or... Beat the person who beat Karen. I should've tried harder to get Aries out of there safe. She ended up hurting herself, to save me. Even when victory was so close. She has good in her, and I will get her back.

¤Ω¤

Lucy agreed. I'm going to get Aries back. I'll get them all back. Before I left, I asked Grandpa Crux if he knew anything about her location. From what he told me, she is part of the Oración Seis guild. I partially knew that from the mission we were in when we encountered. But now I know the location of the Guild. That will be my first stop. I'll would travel around the world if I had to, I will save Aries. I mean all of them.

I know the general direction the Guild is in. If I keep traveling that way, I am bond to reach it eventually. I also know what town it's in, so as long as I can make it there, I'll find the Guild.

I'll have to figure out a way to get Xeal away from her guild, too. There's no way I could take on an entire guild on my own.

¤Ω¤

I reached the town. Its pretty big. Bigger than Magnolia. It could be tough to find a guild in all of this. I started to ask people if they had any idea as to where it could be. They gave me weird looks. Not just weird though. Some looked terrified. I guess who would be looking for a dark guild by themselves unless they wanted to join. I never managed to figure it out. No one would give me the time of day. Lucky for me, that didn't matter.

"Hey you! Stop!" I saw her. Walking around the town. She just kept walking. So I followed her. She went into a dark alley and finally, she turned.

"Well if it isn't Leo the lion. Where's your little master, Leo? Oh. I see. You came to give me your key. Finally realizing who's a better wizard?" she taunted.

"I would never give my key to a person like you. I came here for one reason and one reason only. I came to take your keys. Someone like you doesn't deserve them." Aries, I'm so close. I will get you.

She gasped in a joking tone, "Oh no! Take my keys? Well, fine. I guess you can have them." she held up the key chain holding her collection of spirits. I was tempted to try and grab them, but I knew she wouldn't give them up so easily. "No? Then I guess I'll have to take yours and all it so you can be with your little friends here."

She grabbed one of the keys and opened the gate. A familiar spirit showed up. Scorpio. He seemed surprised, as well as a little happy.

"Leo!" he gasped. The happiness left and was replaced with dread, "I'm so sorry."

And so our fight began. He did well. Better than I remember. He'd improved. I'm glad. It meant that he's becoming a stronger spirit. And I knew with Lucy's help, he could become even better. Never the less, I still beat him and sent him back. He got in some hits. When I have to admit that the hurt, but my mission wasn't over.

She called another spirit. The set of twins showed up. They laughed. Depending on who they touched last, they could change into a handful of people. I waited and saw them change into a very muscular man who had the strength to move the ground. Still though. They were sent back.

My legs wobbled as I went from spirit to spirit. I was surprised at how well she was holding up. Though, I could see she was working up a sweat. And even if she was smirking, the slightest hint of nervousness was apparent in her eyes.

"You ready for the grand finally?" She pulled out a key and Aries appeared. She looked tired already, as if She had just finished up a fight. Including fight her like this.

"A-Aries! Please hold out! I'll get you out of here!"

She looked up, all teary eyed. And mouthed the words, 'I'm sorry' She stepped to the side and saw a chisel spirit behind her, charging up it beam.

I had to do some quick thinking. I didn't have much power left, but I had to get them out of here. I charged up what power I had left and aimed my ring at Xeal. I saw her eyes widen and she ordered the chisel to fire. We fired at the same time. But I didn't get hit. Xeal did. There was only one reason I was able to make it out of there. Right after I fired, I was pushed out of the way and Aries too the hit from the chisel. She faded back to the spirit realm with a smile on her face.

While Xeal was down I walked over to her and pulled her off the ground by her shirt. She coward. I asked her one last time to hand over her keys and hereby relinquish her contracts with her spirits. She seemed a whole lot more cooperative.

¤Ω¤

Lucy was happy to meet her new spirits. And promised all of them to wait at least a month for them to rest. She was happy to see me and Aries reunited. Finally. Happy again.
