"Me and Gray are going to go free the prisoners in this direction. Natsu, Lucy, go for the emerald."

I should probably explain what was going on.

Last week a important possession of the exceeds were stolen. Queen Shagotte's emerald. Said to be very very powerful according to rumors.

"I want you four to retrieve it." She told us

"But what about me?" Happy asked.

"This emerald, is deadly to exceeds,if not handled right of course. This is why it was left in my possession, and a few others were kidnapped. I need you to save them as well."

We were at the Exceed village, in the Queen's home. She wanted Natsu, Erza, Gray, and me, Lucy, to retrieve it.


Were now in a forest, where the thief was camping out. Erza and Gray had already left for the camp where the exceeds were being kept.

All the sudden my and natsu faced a blast of light which disappeared a few seconds later.

"What?! It did not work?!" Me and Natsu turned to where the light came from.

There stood the crook holding a magic gun, inside the ammo compartment, the emerald was being held.

"Maybe I have to shoot them again." The man struggled to recharged the gun.

"LUCY KICK!" I screamed as I kicked the man in the face. He dropped the gun and felled to the ground.

"That was easier than expected." I said beaming. "I took out the bad guy~!"

"Nice job Luce, though you probably could've used a different attack… Lucy Kick is kinda lame."

Well, that brought my mood down.

"There you two are!" Erza and Gray ran up to us holding a bunch of exceeds. Natsu picked up the gun. "Looks like we got everything. Let's go" He said.
