Chapter Two

"What's that smell?" Nastu asked sniffing the air insensibly.

"What do you mean Natsu. I don't smell anything funny around here. Well anything besides you" replied Happy with a cheeky grin.

The team walked on as Natsu and Happy's bickering grew more boisterous. As time ticked by, the duo grew louder and louder, when finally Erza snapped.

"CAN YOU TWO BE ANY LOUDER? I CAN BARELY LISTEN TO MY OWN THOUGHTS. STOP BOTHERING OTHERS, MAKE UP, AND MOVE ON. GOT IT?" Erza screamed.

"Aye," squeaked Natsu and Happy.

Grey and Lucy chuckled at the little fiasco happening before their eyes. Well, mostly Lucy. Grey was just glad that he wasn't the one being told off this time.

"But seriously? You guys don't smell that. It's completely different than any scent I've ever picked up. I didn't even smell it in Edolas," urged Natsu.

"What do you mean?" asked Lucy.

"THAT'S IT. IT'S OVER THERE," and with that, Natsu raced in the direction of the strange fragrance, leaving the rest of his teammates behind.

"That nose is going to lead him straight to hell someday," joked Grey.

"Ain't that the truth," agreed Erza as they ran after their pink headed friend.

Natsu's legs came to a halt at a very unusual sight. He found a boy who looked to be about Wendy's age and a girl who didn't look much older than himself, passed out on the side of the road. Not too far from them laid two other men. Their attire indicated that they were not of this world. Never in his life had he seen clothing as bizarre as theirs . Who were these people? What were they doing here ? How did they even get to Fiore?

As Natsu's head throbbed with infinite questions, Happy landed gracefully next to his best friend. The feline's eyebrows furrowed together with a slight pout playing at his lips at the look on Natsu's face.

"Natsu are you okay. I don't think your brain can deal with something as advanced as thinking," commented the concerned cat.

" Ha. Ha," laughed Natsu dryly. "I'll let that one go this time little Buddy. Who do you think these people are?"

"Not sure. I've never seen them before. Their clothes look odd though. If anything they look human, " Happy knelt down on his paws, poking Artemis's check. "and feel human too."

"Mhh, " moaned the blonde. Her eyes flickered at first, than shot up like a bullet at the blue blob in front of her eyes. In 2 seconds flat, Artemis was on her knees, tip of her arrow rubbing against Happy's snout. Surprised by this sudden movement, Happy's eyes grew three sizes. Artemis quickly scanned her surroundings, her eyes landing on an enraged pink haired teen.

"What do you think your doing to my friend?" asked Natsu, seething.

"What was your friend was doing to me?" rebutted Artemis, matching the venom in his voice.

"If you don't get off him in three seconds," Natsu summoned a small but intimidating flame in his hands, "I'll burn you to oblivion."

"Try me," countered Artemis pressing her arrow farther into the cat's nose. "Where am I? Who are you?"

"One," Artemis saw the furry in the stranger's eyes. "Two," if she didn't do anything, she knew she'd be burned to ashes. The archer started itching her foot backwards, "Three," and kicked Robin strait in the head. Natsu sprinted towards the girl but was confronted by a rather young boy, eyes sharp, fists out, ready for combat. The the girl was sprawled out on the sidelines, along Happy in her hands.

Natsu threw a strong but sloppy fist, his mind clouded with rage, at the raven haired boy. Robin easily evaded his attack and threw an uppercut of his own at the older boy's chin. As his fist made contact, Robin flinched at the heat level of his opponent's chin. Flipping over the pinkette, Robin landed two yards away holding his burned first.

"What are you made of dude. Seriously? Were you born in some kind of volcano or something?" cried Robin still cradling his hand."Artemis, get Kaldar. I think he's way more suited for this fight. The guy can spit fireballs," shouted Robin, as Natsu took another swing at his head.

"On it," exclaimed Artemis and made a beeline for the two limp bodies she noticed earlier, with Happy unconscious under her arm. Skidding next to bodies, Artemis tried to shake Lad and Kid awake with one hand. Kaldar slowly came to, eyes blinking wildly, while Kid sprang up like a catapult. Artemis briefly explained the situation to the two.

Quick as lightning, Kaldar sent a wave of water, utilizing the river three meters away The wave however, never reached his target as it was canceled out by an equally strong one. The trio turned around to find a teenage girl standing in the middle of the river holding what looked like a golden key. Adjacent to her was a mermaid like being holding a blue basin. Kaldar locked in battle with the blonde beauty; water splattered in every direction with every new attack.

Kid attempted to race to Aqualad's aid but was stopped mid stride by a sword dead in his tracks. Met with scarlet a haired women decked out in a leopard print outfit, Kid's eyebrows shot up. His smile quickly disappeared though, as the determined women took a swing at his shoulder. Kid of course evaded it but slower than usual. He suddenly realized that it wasn't that he was slower, it was that his opponent was matching his own speed. It was getting more and more difficult to avoid the woman's swift twin blades.

Artemis placed the cat on the ground and aimed an arrow at the boy that was still attacking Robin. But before she could even release her arrow, she felt the temperature of her feet drop rapidly. Looking down, Artemis saw both feet were frozen in place, along with a shirtless boy four feet away. She shot arrow after arrow at the very attractive boy. To her appointment, none of the her arrows hit her fast moving target.

The two fearsome teams were locked in an epic and dangerous fight, that was halted abruptly by a loud, authoritative voice.

"STOP!"
