Chapter 2 Entering the Labyrinth

Natsu came to only to find himself someplace that was unfamiliar to him. He could have sworn he was still in Lucy's apartment not too long ago, and now he had somehow ended up here. Wherever 'here' was. Nothing looked familiar, and it definitely didn't look like the guild hall. So how the heck did he end up in a place like this? The last thing he remembered before being knocked out was Lucy shouting something about a wish, and something about a goblin king (whatever that was, Natsu thought to himself) before storming out of her house and slamming the door behind her. And he remembered he had been trying to fight whoever it was who knocked him out and brought him here.

"That jerk! Next time I see him, he's gettin' a face full of my flames!" the pyro challenged.

"Huh? Who's getting what now with flames?" Happy asked from beside him.

"That jerk that I'm gonna pound into the ground a hundred times over until he's burned to a crisp, of course," Natsu replied with a grin.

"Natsu, could you at least try to make sense for once? What jerk are you talking about?" Happy asked.

"The jerk who kidnapped us and brought us here," Natsu told him. "And I bet he's got Lucy here as well."

"Oh no! Lucy's here too?!" Happy exclaimed. "But wait, where is she then?"

"Actually, I have no clue," Natsu replied. "But once we find out where she is, we're all gonna bust outta here! Oh yeah! I'm all fired up now!" he exclaimed with his fists on fire.

"You won't find your blond girlfriend here, if that's what you are wondering," a different voice said, as Jareth the Goblin King walked into the room.

"Are you the jerk that brought me and Happy here?! And what have you done with Lucy?!" Natsu demanded as his whole body was erupted in flames.

"She is merely out solving my Labyrinth," Jareth told him. "Don't worry though, you'll see her again soon. That is, if she is able to solve the Labyrinth in time."

"Oh yeah, I bet she wi- what labyrinth?" Natsu suddenly asked.

"I shall show you," Jareth said, summoning a crystal ball to his hand as it revealed an image of the Labyrinth.

"Wait, so you're some kinda fortuneteller?" Natsu questioned when he saw the crystal.

"No," Jareth told him. "I am the Goblin King, Jareth."

"Natsu Dragneel," Natsu replied. "And the blue Exceed is Happy."

"Aye!" Happy said with a fish in his mouth.

"So how about givin' us Lucy back now?" Natsu asked.

"I'm afraid you have it backwards, Natsu Dragonet," Jareth said. "Lucy is the one coming here, not the other way around."

"Well if you do anything to hurt Lucy, you'll be gettin' a fist full of flames in your face until you're burned to a crisp!" Natsu challenged. "And it's Dragneel, Jellal!" he added angrily at Jareth getting his name wrong.

"Wow Natsu, did you just call him Jellal?" Happy asked him.

"Of course. He did say his name was Jellal, didn't he?" Natsu said.

"Actually, I said it was Jareth," Jareth told him.

"Well it did kinda sound like Jellal to me," Natsu muttered. "And that's what he gets anyway for getting my name wrong anyway."

"Wow Natsu," Happy said sarcastically.

"So now do we get Lucy back?" Natsu asked, changing the subject.

But by this point, Jareth was becoming slightly annoyed by the pink haired pyro. "No. For the last time, you won't get to see Lucy until she is able to get through the Labyrinth," the Goblin King told him.

"You mean 'if' she can get through it, right?" Happy pointed out.

"Hey! Who's side are you on anyway, Happy?" Natsu questioned.

"Oh, sorry," Happy replied. "He said something like that earlier, so I just thought I'd bring it up."

"Gee, some friend you are," Natsu muttered.


Meanwhile
Lucy and the others were now at the front of the Labyrinth, just gaping at its size and wondering where the entrance was as they began looking around for the way in.

"Whoa! This thing is huge!" Lucy exclaimed as she took notice of the size of the Labyrinth.

"Yes, but the question is how do we get in?" Erza added, requipping into one of her strongest armors just incase she needed to smash a few walls down in order to get in.

"There's gotta be an entrance or something around here somewhere," Levy said, as she began looking around.

They continued looking around for the entrance to the Labyrinth, well until Erza ended up growing impatient and began slashing a couple swords she had requipped out at the wall. "Curse you, wretched labyrinth! Why won't you show your entrance already!" the redhead demanded while trying to slice her way into the labyrinth with her sword which ended up having no effect.

"Um, yeah, I don't think that'll work, Erza," Lucy sweat-dropped.

"Ice-Make: Cannon!" Gray said, creating an ice cannon and blasting a hole right through the side of the Labyrinth.

"Not you too, Gray! And don't you think that might have been overkill?! Or rather, over-destroy?!" Lucy shrieked.

"Well, would you rather have waited for Erza to hack the whole thing down with her swords and waste time?" Gray pointed out.

"Fine, point taken. But still-" Lucy was suddenly cut off when the hole the Gray created with his ice cannon suddenly closed up.

"What the heck?!" the ice wizard exclaimed when he saw that his ice had no effect on it.

"Maybe that Jareth guy just considers breaking in like that a form of cheating," Levy suggested. "I don't know that for sure though, but it could be a possibility."

"Alright, now it's my turn," Lucy said, taking out one of her keys. "Open! Gate of the Maiden: Virgo!" she called out, as the celestial spirit maid appeared before her.

"You wish to punish me for interrupting, Princess?" Virgo asked.

"No, I just need your help breaking through here since we can't find the entrance," Lucy explained.

"As you wish, Princess," Virgo replied, before tunneling through the wall of the Labyrinth exactly where Gray had fired his ice cannon. Unfortunately, the Labyrinth threw her right out and closed off her tunnel. "Forgive me, Princess, but it appears that it had no effect."

"You've gotta be kidding!" Lucy exclaimed.

"Are you going to punish me now?" Virgo asked.

"Seriously? I'm not punishing you!" Lucy told her. "But you do get credit though for trying."

"You'll never get into the Labyrinth that way by destroying it," a different voice said.

"Kyaa! Who said that?!" Lucy shrieked in surprise.

"I don't think it was any of us, Lu-chan," Levy told her.

"It was me," the new voice said again, as they all turned to see something that either looked like a dwarf or a goblin walking towards them.

Erza and Gray got into a fighting stance incase this newcomer was here to attack them.

"Well, why don't you tell us where we can find the entrance and we'll stop destroying it?" Erza asked in a slightly demanding tone.

Hoggle ignored her and went about swatting fairies that were flying around nearby with a fly-swatter like they were flies, until Lucy tried to stop him as the next fairy he swatted fell right into the celestial wizard's hand.

"Kyaa!~ You're so cute!" Lucy told it sweetly, when it suddenly bit her and causing her to drop it. "Ow! Nevermind, I take it back!" she said, gripping her finger where it bit her.

"Well what did you expect from a fairy? That it would suddenly grow a tail if you held one?" Hoggle questioned mockingly.

"And now you dare mock our guild's name by making puns about Fairy Tail?!" Erza said, pointing a sword directly at him.

"Yeah, even though Fairy Tail was basically named for the question of whether fairies actually have tails or not," Levy stated.

"That's true, but the way he said it made it sound like he was mocking our guild," Erza said.

"Look, just tell us where we can find the entrance to this place and you won't have to put up with Erza's wrath," Gray told Hoggle. "Trust me, she can get pretty scary when she wants to."

"Oh alright, the way in is just right over there," Hoggle said, pointing in the direction where a pair of doors was now opening and the four Fairy Tail wizards all stepped inside to see two ways to go: to the right or left.

"Whoa! Creepy looking place, isn't it?" Gray pointed out.

"Gray, if this is your way of freaking me out then it's working," a freaked out Lucy said. "And where are your clothes?!"

"Huh? Not again!" Gray exclaimed after realizing he was in his underwear, as he went to go find where he left his clothes.

"Well now that we finally figured out how to get in, let us continue," Erza stated, before turning to Hoggle. "And as for you, you shall be our guide and escort us through this labyrinth," she told him.

"Sorry, no can do, I'm afraid I'm not allowed to," Hoggle told her.

"I'm sorry, what was that?" Erza asked menacingly, but Hoggle had already run off after seeing the redhead's glare.

"Well, I guess we'll just have to figure it out on our own then," Levy said, just as Gray returned with his clothes back on.

"Aww man, this place is too creepy. Can I just go home?" Lucy whined.

That was when Erza turned her glare on her. "Lucy, there will be no backing out now until we have Natsu and Happy back," she told her.

"Yeah, I know," Lucy replied. "Well, I guess we better get this over with then."

With that said, they began heading down the path to the right, hoping it would somehow lead them to the Goblin King's castle.


Well, there ya have it. Chapter 2 of Lucy and the Labyrinth is finished. I apologize if it's kinda short, but the next chapter will go into more detail as they explore the Labyrinth. But I hope you still enjoy this chapter. And I also thought I'd keep Hoggle in the story, since he might probably be needed. And again, please be patient with me when I update. Thank you!~ ^_^
