"If I ever have to ride on another train in my life it would be too soon!" Natzu said after he got off the train at Hikamora station. Lucy, Grey and Wendy were not too far behind Natzu, who happened to be on the platform fighting the urge to hurl.
"Come on Natzu let's go!" Wendy said growing impatient, she was about 25 now and she actually grew into her figure quite well.
"Good idea Wendy lets go and get food." Natzu replied
'I am not sure what's the good idea, to go get food or to leave" Gray replied teasing Natzu a little bit.
"You know what Ice-Boy" Natzu replied getting a little angry.
"I know everything Pyro, "Gray replied a little cocky
"Oh yeah know-it-all take this on for size." Natzu said has fists bawling up preparing for a fight.
"Oh yeah at least all I ever think about isn't eat, sleep and fighting!" Gray said defensively but also to humiliate Natzu as well.
"Yeah well all you probably think about is yourself." Lucy snickered softly to Wendy who just giggled.
"Will they ever learn?" Wendy said grabbing each by the ear pulling them out of the train station.
"What was that for?" Natzu and Gray complained rubbing their ears
"Because boys there is no time to mess around so let's go meet our client" Lucy complained
"What about food!" Natzu complained his stomach agreed by giving a soft growl.
"We'll get food some other time right now we don't have the money" Lucy barked
"Fine" Natzu said folding his arms around his chest saying he wasn't happy but he knew it was the truth.
"Hello" a beautiful young woman said answering the door
"good day mamma we are the Fairy Tale wizards you requested" Lucy said with a smile on her face oh come on in the long blonde hair girl said before stepping aside to let Natzu and his gang in.
"So tell me who you want be beaten up!" Natzu asked stepping into the living room.
"Natzu!" Lucy hollered not happy
"No its ok" the client said leading them into a small living room with two couches on both sides of the room "actually I need a bodyguard"
"May I ask why?" Gray asked sitting on the couch
"well you see I am creating a serium that one shot of it will take a wizard's power away forever but the bad guys want to get their hands on it to use for their own selfish purposes the client said at least till I get it to the prisons" the client explained.
"Great!" Natzu said looking out the train window. "Why do you have to take this mission!" Natzu complained, before Lucy had a chance to reply the train skated to a stop.
"We're not there yet!" Gray said stating the obvious "everyone surrounded the client" Gray stated.
"What's going on?" Natzu asked his voice not sounding too good.
"As if you don't know" a voice said from behind Natzu, a form slowly developing behind him
"Ice make shield!" Gray said creating a barrier between Natzu and the forming shadow. Since the train continued to roll Natzu's motion sickness put him out of commission for a while.
All of a sudden something put everyone's feet pulling them into the shadows when Lucy broke free of the hold on her feet she found herself plummeting to the ground landing hard on a rock.
"Ow!" Lucy said rubbing her sore back
"It's the blonde bimbo from the Fairy Tail guild look like it its my lucky day." A guy said stepping out of the cover that the trees gave him.
" Natzu, Gray, Wendy!" Lucy yelled trying to call her friends
"that's not going to work sweetheart you're all by yourself" the guy snickered "this is going to be a piece of cake" he continued
"oh yeah we will see about that!" Lucy said getting up on her feet "open gate of the lion, leo!" Lucy said summoning one of her celestial spirits
"well ladies first" the guy said
"I've got you covered Lucy" Leo said stepping in front of her. Leo looked at his opponent and then shot a beam of light at the enemy from his hands.
"Is that the best you got kid? the guy asked dodging Leo's attack like it was nothing "now it's my turn" the guy grinned.
"oh no this doesn't look good" Lucy thought to herself trying to keep her panic down to a minimum.
She thought about summoning her clock spirit but she remembered that he is not available to work today how convenient! The guy disappeared a second later he reappeared right behind her. Leo shot another beam of light but he was too late the guy had one hand on her shoulder pushing her to the ground
"who are you and what do you want with the serum?" Lucy asked but no answer came she felt something tug at her.
"Leo!" she screamed as she felt something at her skin but Leo was hopeless there was nothing he could do to help her.
