Markarov's Fighters
Markarov jumped down from the second floor and onto the bar.
"Listen up Fairy Tail! The council has given us the job of defeating The Kravs."
A variety of whispers and gasps went through the room, but as usual, Natsu pounded his fist into the air and shouted,
"COME ON GRAMPS, LET'S GO ALREADY!"
Markarov cleared his throat and continued,
"As I was saying, we have been asked to defeat the so called Kravs, and bring them into custody. But they are a very powerful bunch, so I have divided you up in teams."
As Markarov began spouting out team names,
"Shadow Gear and Gajeel, Raijinshu, Gildarts, Juvia and Cana, Natsu, Lucy, Erza, Gray, Wendy..."
The team members were trying to find each other. When everybody had assembled into their teams, they one by one headed off into the destinations that Markarov appointed each of the teams.
"Come on let's go guys!" Natsu yelled full of energy.
"You do know we have to travel by train right?" Lucy answered him with a loving smile.
And with that, Natsu quieted down and began walking slowly towards the train station, dreading each step that brought him closer and closer to his one and only weakness.
On the train, Natsu had his usual motion sickness as Wendy tried to cast her Troia on him but ended up not helping.
"Come on Natsu, five more minutes" Lucy said soothingly and patted his head. Gray shook his head and mumbled something about Natsu's stupid weakness.
As the train pulled in at the station, all six got out of the train. They headed South, towards the forrest and didn't look back. They hadn't gotten long before Wendy accidentally stepped into a trap, and in an attempt to save her, Charla also got wound up in it.
"We're getting closer" Erza stated as she looked closely at the trap. It helt Body Link Magic, so they couldn't do anything about it. They had to carry on, but left Happy behind to protect them if anything went wrong. They walked for what seemed like hours before coming upon a big, dark castle with an evil aura surrounding it.
"Alright!" Natsu yelled and began running into the misty castle.
"Idiot! Wait up" Gray yelled annoyed at his teammate.
Everyone catched up with Natsu at the entrance. There were 2 halls.
"Which one should we take?" Lucy pondered.
Erza closed her eyes, thinking, and when she opened them, her eyes were filled with determination.
"We need to split up" she said, "Gray, you're with me, Natsu and Lucy take the other one."
They all nodded at each other,
"Please be careful" Lucy called out after them, and only after receiving a "You too!" did they carry on into the dark and ominous tunnel.
Little did they know, that they had chosen the wrong tunnel.
Please read & review, thanks! :)
