Chunibyo's Fanfic

Spirit King was shocked to death when he looked at the key, if he properly remembers the Ancient legends of Celestial World then this is..., "C..C..Celestial G..God M..Master Key.." blurted out the startled Spirit King as he kept staring at the key.

"WHAT!!!??!" all of them including Hope exclaimed in a loud shout when they heard Spirit King's words.

[quatz- Oi...Oi..! Partner, your secret is getting revealed! if this goes on then they'll surely perceive you of being a Demigod!

Hope- like I care... let it be, I'll just play dumb for now and even if they know about it, then I'm sure, there are already many gods in this world.

quatz- guess so...]

Hope came back to his nonchalant self as he immediately raised the question, "Spirit King, what is Master Key? though I have a vague idea of it from it's name but I'd like to know the sure shot detail from you."

Spirit King came back to his senses from the dazed state when he heard Yuuki's question, "aa... eto.." he was confused to how he should proceed with the explanation, but he soon firmed his resolute as it was a crucial matter, "ahm.. listen everyone, for what I'm going to say." he wanted to take their attention first as some of them were still stunned whilst looking at the key.

The Master Key had the same appearance like any other Golden Zodiac Key in spite the fact, that it had a diamond embedded on the rear of the key and a small Black Snake tangled around it just like the Ophiuchus's key.

Everyone came out of their stunned state when Spirit King's heavy loud voice called out to them, and now the Spirit King noticed the fact of him having the full attention of his subjects, "I don't know much about this Key, but due to my old lineage in the Celestial realm, I have some knowledge of it." stated the Spirit King.

"There is a Legend which my predecessors passed on to the next Kings of the Celestial World. Yes, I know the fact that we are Immortals but those ancestors are Immortals of Immortals and can be considered as extinct Celestial beings." Spirit King started his explanation.

"The Legend is about the being who made our home which's also known as Celestial World, he was also the creator of Zodiac gates and their keys, he even assigned a King like I am to rule over the world as according to my ancestors, he was just too lazy."

"But though the first being was lazy, he was and is still our God, he made the system known as Celestial mages so that the Spirits in the Celestial world could bond together with Humans and also explore the human world to their heart's content with their Master."

"He also made a Key for himself, so that he could Summon any Celestial Spirit to him when he needed some sort of help or the other fact that he was bored..., these are just legends so don't mock me, okay?" Spirit King fl.u.s.tered as he was somewhat bad-mouthing the Celestial God.

[quatz- his explanation matches somewhat with a certain person.. but why can't I remember him...?

Hope- ahm... you mean the first God?

quatz- 💢💢💢💢YESSS!!! THAT BASTARD! HE'S THE ONE WHO SEALED ME IN THE EMPTY VOID FOR SUCH A LONG TIME!! GOOD THAT HE'S DEAD NOW OR I WOULD'VE KILLED HIM ALL OVER AGAIN!!

Hope- calm down... calm down.. you're a good Dragon right? and good Dragons don't use abusive words.

quatz- hmmu...

quatz- ....? oi... OI!!

Hope- I said calm, you asshole! so calm down!!

quatz- h..hai...]

Hope grabbed the levitating key in his right hand, "hm... this key is the legendary Master Key." he thoroughly observed the key in his hands, "then why is this here?" he raised the doubt.

Spirit King heard Hope's doubt and smirked since Hope was getting interested in his World's past, "Well, the Celestial God also known as our creator, didn't reside either in the Celestial World nor in the Human realm, he had his own World from where he called out the Spirits time to time, but one day those things stopped and the Spirits were never again called by him, so he became a legend."

"Oh..." Hope understood what this big guy was trying to say, whereas other people around him were having a tough time in digesting such a sudden heavy knowledge, but there was an exception who didn't care about these stuff.

"Means Hope is Master from now on!!?" Ophiuchus joyfully exclaimed as she was happy from the fact that now Hope could also summon her, anywhere he wants.

The Spirits also realized this gospel after hearing Ophiuchus's words, "This Rival of mine is now my M..Master?!" Loki didn't wanted to believe this as he would be now working for two Masters and turns out both of them are a couple.

"M..Master Hope Sama..." murmured Virgo as she thought of how his Hope Sama will keep punishing her when she refuses to obey his orders.

"I'm... S..Sorry!" Aries exclaimed with her cheeks turned red.

Taurus was excited as he now had to serve his new s.e.xy Master and snorted his nose while staring at Hope with his eyes wide open.

"Gulp..." Hope looked at the reactions the Spirits were giving to him and due to this he scratched his cheek with no expression, although deep inside he was actually very nervous, "Well, I think we should search for the owner for this Key, he might be worried for loosing it..." said Hope in a wry manner.

Many of the Spirits and also the three girls did a resounding face-palm on thier foreheads, "Idiot...! the Key has chosen you as it's owner! did you even hear the Story of Spirit King!?" Lucy grabbed Hope's Collar with furious eyes as he was trying to play dumb here, "The previous holder of this Key might've expired due to some circ.u.mstances, so now this belongs to you!" Lucy detailed the explanation which Spirit King had given earlier.

Spirit King nodded to the words which Lucy had spoken just now, "Be grateful and accept it already, since the Key can even summon me if you've enough potential, although I don't dare to doubt your capabilities.." Spirit King corrected himself as he knows the reality, that Hope is way stronger than him, since he's still able to move safe and sound after gulping down such a huge amount of Eclipse energy.

Spirit King now had a new topic on which he wanted to discuss with Hope, "But what about Ophiuchus's Eclipse form?" he said before diverting his gaze at Ophiuchus, "Are you fine being like this? or do wanna return to your original self?" he asked for what Ophiuchus wished for herself.

Ophiuchus did listen to Spirit King but she looked at Hope for the answer, while on the other hand Hope already knew what she was feeling, "I don't care in what form you are, you'll still be my same Ophiuchus." he explained her in his nonchalant manner.

[quatz- Yes! what matters are the holes! but snakes Don't have holes!

quatz- Partner! do something or you'll have to do it with a snake's huge Mouth!

Hope- S...Shuddup quatz!

quatz- hmph.. why don't you just make your d.i.c.k bigger enough to fit it inside her mouth.

Hope- I said! shuddup, you vulgar creature!

quatz- Kukuku... we are the same, and you can't deny it! Hahahaha!!

Hope- Tch...]

Ophiuchus was delighted after hearing Hope's words but the situation was still the same, she had to choose between her Eclipse state, or her original state and the decision by her was quickly made in eas.e.m.e.nt, "I'll choose my Eclipse state over my original state, though I still have a Humanoid form in my original state, but I'd like to remain the same as I'm more stronger like this." Ophiuchus told us her decision.

Spirit King nodded to her, "As you wish, though you can anytime change your states if Hope Sama wants as he can absorb your energy like he did to me." explained Spirit King.

"S..Spirit King, did you just use the suffix 'Sama' on his name?" Aquarius was damn sure that she didn't hear it wrong.

"I acknowledge him as my Master, so of course I'll call him however I want, to pay my respects." answered the Spirit King.

Hope crashed down on the floor with the help of his b.u.t.t.o.c.k.s, "Well, I'd like to go back now.. I'm exhausted and wanna sleep..." hope was feeling very dizzy due to his tiredness, afterall he had to go through the simultaneous Evolutions in his Vanishing Dragon Take Over form.

The Girls couldn't see Hope anymore like this and supported him by placing his arms over thier shoulders, Mirajane and Erza were fast enough to reserve the only two spots and Lucy kept looking at them with an pouty face.

Lucy didn't waste time in acting like a stubborn girl as she was more worried about Hope's health, she turned back and faced the Spirit King, "Please send us back to our same timeline." requested Lucy.

Hope, by this time stored the Master Key inside his Spacial storage as he was worried if it gets lost, since he is more clumsier than Lucy and Lucy is an expert at forgetting her keys, according to him.

Spirit King nodded to Lucy and immediately made an Magic Circle through his own special Authority, so that they could go back in their world without a 3 months penalty, "See ya soon and I'm very grateful for your help, Hope Sama and I'd like to visit the human realm soon, so please summon me sometime." Spirit King gave his farewell to Hope and friends.

But Hope ignored his words as he had a serious thing to say, "I'd like to see Ophiuchus happily staying here, or else I'll myself destroy this world, Okay?" stated Hope.

Spirit King didn't know if Hope was joking or if he's serious as there was no expression on his face, "Don't worry, I'll never treat my subjects in a bad manner and from now on, I'll make sure that everyone gives respect to Ophiuchus rather than getting scared of her." he assured Hope with a serious look of an King on his face.

"Good..."

...

All four of them were teleported back in the guild hall by Spirit King.

Hope didn't mind the guild members looking at him as he nonchalantly laid on a blue couch in the Guild hall.

He closed his eyes so that he could go in his deep slumber..

[Hope- quatz, Don't disturb my sleep... please.

quatz- I'm not an Idiot, you Idiot.

Hope- zzzz...]

As Hope went into his sleep.

Someone gave a very hard firm handed tight slap on his cheek.

Hope had his eyes wide open as there's only one such being in his whole existence who can slap him in such a ruthless and strong manner.

"Red!" he exclaimed as he looked at the handsome young guy in his early twenties who's dressed in his usual Red butler suit.

This Slap made him wide awake and also a bit nervous to know for why he received it.

"Red..." "Ouch...!!" As Hope was going to say something, Red roughly clasped on his hair.

"You Idiot! Young master of mine! who the hell told you to travel between worlds without my permission!!" exclaimed Red in a very angry manner, even his face had turned Red due to his high temperament.

"Oh." Hope's realization hit him.

[quatz- Oh.]

Both Hope and quatz were stunned by this fact as they realized it just now. Hope built up some courage as he slowly looked at the enraged Great Red, "R..Red, did something b..bad happened due to my this actions?" he nervously query him regarding his fault.

The Guild members and the trio girls who returned just now were shocked from how much furious Red was just now, since he was beating a pulp out of his Master without any hesitation.

Though earlier Makarov and Mavis were confused for how Red appeared so suddenly through the Portal as he was supposed to be with Yukino at the moment, they even tried to query him on this matter, but only a glare from the latter was enough to shut their lips tight, and turns out this was the situation, but didn't Red know this already? that Hope was gonna travel to the Celestial World? they were still confused..

But they also didn't know the truth as previous Red in actual was Ultear who's disguising herself as Red.

Red clutched Hope's cheek and lifted him up from the couch to make him stand straight infront of him.

{Red- Sigh... Young Master.. this is not your world and you were not allowed to Travel in other Worlds without my permission, since I'm maintaining the time gap between your Original World and this World.

Red- Remember right? the gap of 1 day=1 year? that thing was broken due to your current actions.

Hope- whooaaaT!!? then what'll happen to my World!?

Red- Worry not, I've used my Authority of dimensional gap to stop this thing, but It took me some seconds to do this, so probably a day or two had already passed in your Original World..

Hope- Thank God...

Red- Thank me, you Idiot! God is already dead.

Hope- Oh. right.. thank you Red.

[quatz- so what now? it's done right? so why is he angry?

hope- lemme ask.]

Hope- then the matter is solved right?

Red- Unfortunately, nope. you'll have to return back to your world as I'm currently using my own powers to suffice for the balance and won't be able to keep handle it much longer. almost 10 minutes from now, you can say.

Hope- W...what? and then what about this World? and the people here!?}

"I don't wanna get apart from them! they are my friends, Red!" Hope's loner side kicked in as he shouted all this out loud in the guild hall due to his frustration.

Lucy and Mirajane heard what Hope shouted just now and they instantly got an vague idea of what Hope was trying to convey, ignoring the rage of Red, they wryly sprinted towards Hope and hugged him tightly from his sides, so that he could not leave them behind.

"I won't let you go away from me! take me where you are going too!" exclaimed Mirajane with tears about to gush out from her eyes.

"I'll do anything for you and I'll also behave properly, but please don't leave me! please!!" shouted Lucy as she thought about Hope leaving her.

Erza at last walked towards Hope and without hesitation she tightly clasped his firm neck with her right hand, "You talk a single word about leaving us and I'll kill you first then kill myself." warned the now Ruthless Erza.

Hope was happy to get this affection, but more importantly.

{Hope- Red, answer me, I'm not going to leave them nor my friends from my Original World.

Red- I can flip the time gap between these worlds but there'll be at least, one week gap duration between the worlds as altering the Dimensional gap will take me some time.

Hope- Can I help you in this?

Red- No! you'll only spoil my work further! do you even know how complex the rules of dimensional gap are!?

Hope- I was just asking, I'm sorry okay?

Red- sorry for loosing my temper, but it took me thousands of years just to get the basics of dimensional gap and wrongfully messing with it even in the slightest bit would cause Havoc in the time space travel.

Hope- Oh. my bad, I'll learn about it sometime later.

Red- Hm. but please don't waste time, I have only 7 minutes left, or else you'll miss several more days in your Original World.

Hope- Okay, but one last doubt! can I take them with me? please?

Red- Sigh.. young master, it's not based on the fact that if I'm allowing it or not, it's about their safety as once they enter the dimensional gap, they'll be turned into ashes in just few minutes. no wait, not ashes, it'll be even worse. so I'm not recommending it.

Hope- Ouchh.. your words hurt.. guess there's no choice, then I'll have to do the same thing which I did with Akeno.}

Hope looked at the Titania who was still clutching on his neck and the other girls, "I have problem in my hometown, so I'll be going there for a few days, so please??" he requested them to at least leave him for a few days.

Erza looked straight at him with furious eyes, "Be precise, how many days?" she's currently in her strict mannered mode.

"M..More than a week..." murmured Hope, which was loud enough for them to hear as their all 6 senses were totally focused on him.

"Reason?!" Erza queried again.

Hope looked straight in Erza's eyes due to the circ.u.mstances of limited time, "Erza please, I don't have time to explain this, if I don't go back in these next few minutes, then something bad might happen to me." he really does not have any time to explain them and nor does he wants to.

Erza instantly released her clutches as she saw Hope being serious at the moment, it was a rare sight for them to experience the moments when Hope was enraged.

"Please take my with You." Lucy requested Hope, Making Erza look back at him with hope in her eyes, if it's possible then she'll happily accompany him.

"I can't... this time it's too serious, so please don't persist the matter as it's very sudden even for me and I also don't want to leave y'all, but..." Hope tried his best to explain them however he could.

"Young Master, 4 minutes."

{Red- If we don't enter the dimensional gap now then you'll suffer the consequences with every single second.

Hope- hm.}

"Please... I'll return back soon!" both Mirajane and Lucy backed off from him and now stood besides Erza, "Please explain others of what happened in the Celestial World, I'll be leaving now." said Hope as he turned around with tears flying in the air.

[Hope- Misaki, what abou..

Misaki- She has the protection from system due to being your Servant, so taking her with you is possible.

Hope- Thank you.. but can I make them my Servants too?

Misaki- Unfortunately, nope. the conditions of making them your servants don't meet.

Hope- Oh.]

Hope turned back again just to see the three of them sobbing, silently.. he rushed to them and tightly hugged them before he leaves, "bye, see y'all soon and manage it with my pictures for a week." said Hope as she rushed back to Red who's standing outside the Guild door.

Unknown to Hope, that he made the three of them smile radiantly at him.

"Red, Open the Portal to Ultear, we have to pick her up." Hope didn't waste a single second in saying this nor did Red as he immediately made a Portal to where Ultear currently was, it's easy for him to track people with his own higher level dragon sense and even more efficiently when he has planted his signature Aura on someone.

Both of them walked inside the Portal and directly reached into a Library like place, infront of them was one more Red and Yukino.

"Red!? how are you back so suddenly?" Ultear curiously raised the question as it would've taken more time for Red to return back according to him.

"Ultear, we don't have time and I really mean it." he said as he immediately looked at his side, "Red please make a Portal for Yukino to return back in the Guild."

"Hope Sama, what's going on? why are you acting so serious? is anything wrong? what happened with the Celestial world?" Yukino was startled by all this and instantly bombarded Hope with her several questions.

Hope approached Yukino and gave her a light kiss on the lips , "Consider this a compensation and I'll allow you to punish me, once I return back but please consider my urgent situation." Hope only had a tad duration of time, remaining in almost minutes!

Yukino nodded to Hope with a fl.u.s.tered face and without a single word, she entered inside the Portal which was made by Red.

Seeing all this Ultear was confused as she immediately reverted back to her Original form, "What's going on?"

"Please wait, I'll tell you everything and all at once." replied back Hope.

[Enveloping the Servant named 'Ultear' with the System's Servant Protection Barrier.]

In the Meantime, Red Opened up the Portal to the dimensional Gap, "Young Master, Ultear, welcome to my domain." Red welcomed them inside the Portal by bowing in a polite manner.

Hope unhesitatingly stepped inside the Portal and Ultear did the same as she followed up behind him.

Entering the Portal, Red Transformed into his Great Red Dragon form after closing the Portal which was connecting to this World, 'Hop on my back, we have a long journey to travel.' The more than 100 meters long Western Red Dragon telepathically communicated with both of them.

"W...w..w.w.w.w.w.whoaaaaaT!!!???" Ultear exclaimed as she suddenly fainted in Hope's arms.

"Sigh... I guess it was too much for her too digest." Hope jovially mocked her as he sat cross legged on the Gigantic Dragon's broad neck with Ultear laying on his l.a.p.

[Hope- BTW, quatz, why were you silent all this time?

quatz- I...I didn't wanted to die.. I know, that I would've only wasted more time by speaking in between the serious conversation.

Hope- Wow.. I commend your decision making, Partner.

quatz- hehehe.. don't embarrass me.. and thanks for referring me as your Partner.

Hope- Hmph.]
