'Thought'
The Solid Script mage Levy McGarden, as well as the leader of another Fairy Tail team, Team Shadow Gear, looks at the request board in disappointment as her two teammates the High-Speed mage Jet and the Plant Magic mage Droy stand behind her, "Huh? Did someone take that 200,000 jewel job for the book?" Levy sighed.
"Yes, Natsu said he was going to invite Lucy and Enrique with him for the request," Mirajane says from behind them catching the attention of the three.
"Aww. That's what I get for hesitating." Levy says in disappointment as she and her team close their eyes and look down with Droy putting a hand to the back of his head.
"It might be better if you didn't, Levy," Makarov says from atop the counter of the bar catching the other's attentions as Gray is seen sitting nearby on one of the stools.
"Master," Levy says
"Since I just got a message from the client," Makarov informed.
"It's been canceled?" Mirajane guessed.
"No. It seems the reward has been upgraded to 2,000,000 jewels." Makarov replied.
"10 times more!" Levy yells as she and her teammates all become shocked from this news.
"2,000,000 jewels for a single book?!" Droy gawked.
"That's the kind of reward you get for subduing monsters!" Jet said in disbelief.
"Why was it increased so suddenly?" Mirajane asked.
Gray hearing this however smirks and scoffs as in front of him his glass of water ice cubes appear in it, "Seems like it got pretty interesting." Gray says
"Gray, look down," Mirajane says with her eyes closed from behind the ice mage.
Gray confused by what she meant then looks down…to see himself in his boxers only again as he yells out in shock.
The White Dragon of Fiore
Chapter 3: Infiltrate the Mansion!
As they were drawing near the Shirotsume town, Enrique was looking over the Job Request Natsu gave them. Last night, before their departure, he also had to study the language of this world. While they do speak English, the writing language was unknown to him. Luckily he was starting to understand some words and such through hours of studying.
If they were to do this job well, he would need to understand fully about this task. While Natsu did explain the task, he still didn't provide the full explanation while Lucy only read what they had to do.
The one thing was there is always the fine print in a job.
Reading through the paper numerous times, he began to notice sometime at the very bottom of the paper.
'Caution: He's a dirty old pervert and currently recruiting blonde-haired maids'
His jaw dropped upon this piece of information. "U-Uh… Lucy…?"
"What's wrong?"
"I think I know the other reason to why Natsu chose this task." The raven haired teen pointed at the small piece of writing at the bottom of the paper.
Lucy took the paper before her eyes widen then turn into an angered glare, "Natsu! This was the real reason you asked us for help?!" She questioned him.
"Hehe, it is right up your alley too!"
Lucy growled, smacking his head and dropping him to the ground, "I'm not some doll!"
"Come on, we just have to get a book and from there is our 200,000 Jewels!"
"You just have to infiltrate the mansion to get the book," Happy raised his paw in agreement.
"You guys planned it from the start, didn't you?" Enrique deadpanned.
"Yup!" Natsu beamed, as he and Happy got another punch to their skulls from Lucy.
She sighed as she crossed her arms, "Well, we might as well finish the job… We're already close as it is to the town, so might as well finish it." She admitted.
After a long time on the road, the group finally arrive at the town where their job is taking place and are currently on their way to meet with the client aka the person who posted the request on the board. They left Stega by the entrance of the town to eat his shrubs while the metal Tupuxuara was staying with Stega.
"Man, thank goodness we never rode in a carriage," Natsu said. "That dragon sure was helpful!"
"I still don't know how you didn't get motion sickness…" Enrique sweatdropped.
"Well anyways let's find something to eat," Natsu says.
"How about you eat your own fire?" Lucy suggests to Natsu.
"You really are cold-hearted, you know. Would you eat Plue or that cow of yours?" Natsu retorted
"Of course not!" Lucy replies in shock of what Natsu said.
"Well, it's the same as that," Natsu said.
"In other words, you can only eat other sources of fire?" Enrique summed up.
"Mhm. Eating mine is not only impossible, but it's like trying to eat your own flesh." Natsu noted, "So come on! I'm starving!"
"You guys on on ahead," Lucy said as she walks away from the two, leaving them confused. Natsu shrugged before looking at Enrique. "Come on, let's go eat!"
"Alright." Enrique nodded before he followed Natsu to the restaurant.
After getting a table and ordering food, Natsu and Happy began to devour their favorite foods while Enrique ate his own at a normal pace.
"How can you guys even eat all that?" The Ranger asked.
"Because we can!"
"Aye!"
Both of their mouths were full of food, as it was almost hard to tell what they just said. The young man could only shake his head, wondering why or how it was even possible but he chose to push that aside for now and just enjoy his own meal.
"Say, do you think your dragons will ever pillage a town?" Natsu questioned.
The young man looks at Natsu before swallowing his food to speak. "Well, we learned from Makarov that Stega will be as tall as that cathedral and with his tail, smash stuff while the Tupuxuara will be as large as a dragon who can create a whirlwind… so I guess that is possible."
"Awesome!" He beamed, "Now if only they can breathe fire like a real dragon…"
"Say, where is Lucy anyway? She said she was gonna meet up here," Happy recalled.
"Sorry I'm late," they heard Lucy call out.
"Oh, Lu… cy," Natsu and Enrique's jaw dropped upon seeing Lucy. She was wearing a maid outfit.
"Well~? What do you guys think?" She asked, twirling around softly.
"Wow…" Enrique uttered.
For Natsu and Happy, they were utterly surprised she would actually put on a maid pray when they were only joking.
"At least this will help with the plan, right?" Lucy said.
Getting out of their stupor, Natsu stood up from his seat. "Let's head to the mansion and meet the client! 200,000 Jewels here we come!"
After paying for their meals, the three made their way to meet the client who made the job request. That being said, the client they met is an old man wearing a black suit with white under-collared shirt and red tie with gray hair and sporting a mustache. With the man is a woman who seems to be his wife who sports a pink dress and has brown hair.
"I am the client, Kaby Melon," the man introduced himself.
"Melon!?" Happy repeated, drool escaping from his mouth as he now had the sudden craving for the fruit.
"You have a tasty name!" Natsu said until Enrique stomps on his foot.
"Don't be rude, Natsu!" Lucy whispered.
"I get that all the time," the man laughed.
"Can't say we blame you, sir," Enrique waved off. "So this task you requested, mind if you can fill us in about it it?"
"Of course," Kaby nodded. "My request is to destroy a book in the possession of Duke Everlue, Daybreak. Or burning it is fine."
"Daybreak?" Enrique raised an eyebrow. "So we just burn a book all for 200,000?"
"That's correct. Simple easy job, right?" He said before blinking, "Wait, you didn't get the update for the reward I made?"
"Huh?"
"It is 2,000,000 Jewels."
Hearing this caused all four jaws to drop upon this. "2,000,000 JEWELS!?"
"Okay, now that is just crazy. You are willing to pay 2,000,000 for one book to be gone!?" Enrique asked in disbelief.
"Yes. If you destroy Daybreak." He nods.
Natsu grinned as he immediately stands up, "We will get it done you can count on it!"
"Did… did you just speak out a catchphrase?" Enrique questioned Natsu.
"He often does that," Happy waved off.
"Let's go get that book!" Natsu grabs the three before they soon left the mansion and made their way to Duke Everlue's place.
The group continued their way to the location of the job. As they do, they soon reach a large mansion where the target of the item is at. The only problem is how they could get in. Natsu added to bust in, while Happy said he could fly them in, though that wouldn't work and be worse for them should they get caught. The only option left is Lucy and her maid plan.
Natsu and Enrique had to hide behind the trees while Lucy was at the entrance of the mansion. "Hello? I've come because I heard you were recruiting maids! Is anyone home?" Lucy called out.
It was quiet for a moment until the sound of rumbling catches their attention. They begin to notice the ground behind Lucy begin to crack and break upwards, causing her to look back to see a figure who lands back on the ground. The figure was a rather large and grotesque maid with pink hair. Just from seeing her Lucy yelps in surprise.
"A maid recruit?" The maid asked in a deep voice.
"Y-Yes!" Lucy quickly answered.
"Master!" The Maid called out for the Duke.
Just then the ground next to the maid shoots out upwards as a man lands on the ground. It was none other than Duke Everlue. He was a short old man with a small toupee and mustache on him, his outfit was that of a regular black suit, with a rose in his pocket and oddly enough a gold button on his stomach.
"Did you call for me?" Duke Everlue asked the maid. She nodded and gestured to Lucy. "Let's see here." He stares at Lucy with a critical look as she kept herself as calm as possible. He then turned around from Lucy. "No thanks. Go home ugly." He said to Lucy.
"U-Ugly?" She gawked, feeling offended as if someone stabbed her in the back.
"That's that. Go on home, ugly." The man waves off as four more really grotesque maids appeared behind the man. "... only beautiful girls will do." He said with no hesitation.
Enrique's face was green as he shuts his eyes closed. "That guy… really is a creep…" he said in disgust as he held the bile in his throat.
Somewhere far in the mountains was a cave. Within the cave was the armored knight who was conducting his latest experiments. With the equipment being useful he could now create after so many centuries.
He took out a fossilized claw along with a load of small blades, daggers, knives and more before putting them into what looked to be an amber egg before closing it. He soon began to pour in what looked to be green water as it soon mixed with the claw and weapons as it began to mend and merge into something new.
A claw rose out before it finally pulls itself out to reveal its full form, but shrouded in the darkness.
"What is my task?" The new creature asked.
"Track down the Ranger and eliminate him and those allied with him."
"Easily done…." The creature chuckled, looking out to a vast valley, and with one swipe, made an empty area that almost reached the mountain side.
After that ordeal with Duke Everlue, they regrouped at the tree as Lucy sat against the tree. "So much for sex appeal." Natsu crossed his arms.
"That's not the problem here! That Everlue guy just has a really whacked out sense of beauty!"
"More like an opposite version," Enrique cringed.
"Or maybe Lucy really is ugly." Happy says bluntly, shrugging.
"Watch it cat…" She glared at the blue fur ball.
"Just ignore what that Duke creep said to you Lucy," Enrique assured. "I think you are fine just the way you are."
Lucy smiled, brushing some of her hair out of the way, "Heh…. thanks, Enrique…"
"Anytime."
"Since we couldn't get through I think it's time for Plan T!" Natsu declared.
"Plan T?" Enrique blinked. "What is Plan T?"
"Break in!" He grinned.
"How exactly is that a plan!?" Lucy asked.
"Because… We can go at it like ninja's!" Natsu said, now his scarf over his face like a ninja's hood. "Plus Enrique has that Camouflage Magic!"
"Let me get this straight. Not only we are gonna break into that mansion but you want me to use my ability just to help steal that book?" Enrique assumed.
"Yeah! I'm glad we could agree on this, buddy!" He smiled, patting his back. "So, go in there and get the book, buddy!"
The Ranger groaned, "Ugh… fine… but the question is how are we gonna get in there without breaking through the door?"
"The rooftop!" Natsu pointed at the said area.
"And how are we gonna get up there?"
"I can take care of that!" Happy offered.
"Alright," Enrique sighed. "I can't believe I'm even agreeing with this idea."
"It's for the job, Enrique. Just make sure to get us inside too." Lucy said to him.
"Yeah, I understand." He replied as Happy lifted Natsu first then Lucy and then Enrique, to the rooftop. Once gathered, Natsu placed his right hand on the window and within minutes, the glass begins to melt through, allowing him to reach in and unlock the window. Seeing it unlocked, they entered through.
"Huh… that was surprisingly easy.." Lucy said, "I guess this will be an easy task then."
"I'll search for the library and get back to you guys," Enrique said to the others.
"Be careful," Lucy warned.
The Ranger nodded before he was camouflaged onto the surroundings. They separated to see which door lead to a library or office to find the book they are searching for. They came across a broom closet, a bedroom, and even a bathroom made of gold. The three were no luck in the search for the book.
"Huh… where is everyone anyway?" Enrique noticed. There was not a single sight of any of the mansion's occupants other than himself, Natsu, Lucy, and Happy.
"Found you…." What came out from the wall was none other than that large, repulsive maid as she glared down at him. "Master sends his regards…" She said, raising her fist. He yelps before he quickly camouflages the moment the maid brought her fist down.
When the dust cloud down, the maid saw he wasn't here. "You can run…. But never hide…." She said before she spun and drilled a hole through the floor, as if she was digging through the earth. What she was too dumb to realize was that the young ranger was still there as he finally moves away from the wall and reveals himself, giving him a minor breath of relief. He suddenly heard other sounds of fighting, no doubt Natsu and Lucy are in trouble with that Maid.
He quickly runs to the others but when he did, he noticed Natsu just took care of the situation and his scarf was around his face, like a ninja.
"You guys alright?" Enrique asked.
"Heh, easy as pie. Nin, nin!" Natsu chuckled, holding his hands together like a ninja, "These two were annoying, but I was able to take them down with my Nin, nin!"
The ranger palmed his face with an annoyed sigh. "Let's just focus on getting that book. I nearly got caught not too long ago so let's just get the book and get out."
"We just need to find it in his office!" He smiled, only for the ranger to strike him.
"It's not in there!" He growled.
"Then… check on Lucy?" He asked, rubbing his head.
"You guys over here!" They turned to see Lucy waving her hand. The two boys approached Lucy as she gestures to a library.
"It's a mountain of books!" Natsu gawked.
"Aye! So many!"
"That old man's actually quite the reader I guess," Lucy commented.
"Well then… let's get searching!" Enrique declared.
"Can't we just burn them all down? It'd be much easier…" Natsu questioned, only for Lucy to kick him.
"Then we will lose our 2,000,000 Jewels without proof!" Lucy scolded. "Let's just find the book by searching for it."
For Enrique, he was still wondering why would Melon want the book burned for 2,000,000 Jewels? It was suspicious. As a young man who studies paleontology and archeology, he studies what is what and the history. If there is a valid reason and yet there has to be a reason?
"Something on your mind, Enrique?" Lucy asked him.
"Huh? Oh well, there is something not right. I mean… why pay 2,000,000 Jewels all for one book to be destroyed?" He asked.
"We can find out once we get the book!" Natsu replied as he was searching through one shelf.
"Though, I do agree with you, Enrique… It is very strange indeed…" Lucy nodded, "Especially with destroying a book…. It kinda makes me worried."
"Found it!" Natsu announced proudly as he holds a golden book above him.
"Hey! Search seriously-" She then noticed the book's title, causing her to gasp in surprise. "Daybreak?" She recognizes.
Hearing the name of the book caused Happy and Natsu to become surprised. "We found it?!" Happy exclaimed.
"Seriously?" Natsu raised an eyebrow.
"I don't know how you found it without even checking the title…" Enrique deadpanned.
"Heh, just my lucky streak!" Natsu rubbed the bridge of his nose.
"And that means we will get our 2,000,000 Jewels!" Lucy cheered in joy.
"Let's burn it!" Natsu said as he ignites his fist, prepared to burn it.
"Hold it, Natsu!" Lucy smacked him with the book before she opened it, "I'm kinda curious what it's about."
"Do we really have the time to read it?" Natsu deadpanned at her.
"This book was written by Kemu Zaleon!" the blonde recognized.
"Who's that?" The three males said in unison.
"He was a wizard who was also a novelist! I'm a huge fan!" Lucy explained. "I thought I'd read every book he wrote but this must be an unpublished work!"
"Whatever, let's burn it," Natsu said, igniting his hand.
Lucy darted her head to the salmon-haired teen, causing her to hold onto the book tightly, "What are you talking about? This is important cultural heritage! You can't burn it!"
"You're abandoning the mission," Happy said.
"Didn't I say I was a huge fan!?" She yells out with annoyance.
Enrique sighed upon this situation. "Let's just head back so we can get this over with. Besides this is already getting more and more suspicious as it is. As a young man who studies, it is obvious that Melon guy is hiding something and we need explanations."
"I think not!" The Duke's voice rang out from all around them. They look around before the floor in front of the doorway explodes upwards, with Duke Everlue revealing his presence. "So you intruder's are after Daybreak, are you?!"
"See, this is what you get for hesitating," Natsu said to Lucy as he points at the Duke.
"As much as I enjoy this game of cat and mouse, I think you all need to disappear!" The Duke grinned, "So, just hand over the book and be punished by my staff."
"How about… uh, no?" Enrique replied sheepishly.
"Enough nonsense! Do you not know who I am?"
"A guy who has a very strange view on beauty," Enrique deadpanned.
Everlue's eyebrow twitched. "Vanish Brothers!" He called out.
The bookshelf opens up to reveal a secret passageway, revealing two men. One appeared to be very shorter than the other, almost looking eastern with some tattoos on his forehead. The other one was much taller, wielding what looked like to be a giant frying pan.
"Good afternoon," The one with the tunic said.
"Even mother would be surprised to see these brats are Fairy Tail Wizards." The tall one huffed.
"Who are you guys?" Enrique asked.
Happy took notice of their Guild Marks, causing him to point at the two, "That mark! They're from a mercenary guild, the 'South Wolves'!"
"So you hired these guys?" Natsu cracks his knuckles while Lucy was reading the book to find the secret.
"Wolves are always hungry, yes? Prepare yourselves!" Everlue announced as the two Vanish Brothers stand behind him.
Seeing this, Lucy looks at the two. "Think you guys can buy me some time? Maybe there is something about the book." She asked before she runs through the doorway.
Natsu and Enrique nodded as the latter's brace glowed before revealing the device. "White Ranger, Drago Power!" Crossing his left arm, he quickly pressed the key, the jaw closing. A white light surrounded his body before it died down revealing his armor. Then golden light wrapped around his head before it shattered to reveal his intimidating helmet, completing the transformation.
"Hm? This is interesting brother. One has a unique Re-Quip Magic." The tall one noted.
"Very interesting indeed, brother." The short one nodded.
"I'll go after that girl, you two deal with these brats!" Everlue ordered as he goes back into the ground.
"Yes sir," The two brothers nodded.
"Enrique! Go after the fatty! I got these two brothers…." Natsu said, "It'll be easy as pie."
"Are you sure, Natsu?" The White Ranger asked.
"Trust in us, Enrique!" Happy smiled, "These guys aren't a match for us."
The masked teen looks at Natsu's determination and the burning need to fight before he nodded, "A-Alright."
Natsu grinned, "Happy, you go to! I am revved up for a fight!"
"Aye! Come on, Enrique!" Happy flies to the doorway before the white ranger used the armor's ability to speed past them.
"Hmph. It matters not should you all split up. We'll take you down with ease." The older brother said.
"Bring it on!" Natsu grinned before the three charge at each other
Lucy was reading through the pages of the book with the help of the wind-reader glasses she kept with her. She was quickly scanning through the pages, trying to find out the secret the book is hiding.
"I can't believe this book contains such a secret.." She mutters to herself.
Suddenly, the metal wall burst outwards from behind her as Duke Everlue emerges halfway and grabs Lucy by the wrists. "What did you find? Tell me the secret of that book!"
"Let me go! As if I'll tell you anything about this book!" Lucy growled, struggling against the Duke, spite his short size, he was very strong. "You are just an enemy to literature!"
"An enemy of literature? A sophisticated, cultured individual such as me, myself and I?"
"Anyone who's happy to have a collection of those freakish maids isn't cultured!" She retorts.
"There is nothing to mock of my beautiful maids!" Everlue countered before he tightens his grip and tries to get a look of the book but to now avail. "A treasure map? A spot to hide valuables? What kind of secret does this book hold? Tell me or I'll snap your arms in two!"
"How about a kick to the face!" Everlue turns his head to see a white boot that sent him away from Lucy. In front of the blonde was none other than her friend, Enrique in his armor as Happy was alongside him.
"Enrique!" Lucy smiled brightly, "You keep him busy! I think I know the true secret to this book! I just need some time!" She requested, before pulling out one of her keys, "And I know just the Spirit to help us!"
The Duke took notice of the key, causing him to laugh in amusement. "A Celestial Wizard? For a bookworm you sure misuse language!"
"And you misuse the meaning of true beauty and art!" Lucy countered.
Everlue laughs as a yellow magic circle appear on his back before he goes into the ground, catching the two off guard.
"So that was magic? That means Everlue is also a wizard," Happy noticed until they heard the sounds of a drill being heard all around them.
"Where is he?" The White Drago Ranger asked, looking around. But with one step, a hole was formed right under him, making him fall into the hole that was made. "Ow…"
"Very interesting! A magical item that grants you unique armor and abilities!" Everlue chuckled, popping next to Lucy, "I think I'll add that item to my collection too! As a young boy, you wouldn't even understand the value of it!"
The ranger crawls out of the hole and stands back up. He rushes towards the man but he immediately goes back underground, once again causing Lucy and the Ranger to look around. The two were soon forced on the defensive as they had to dodge every hole that Everlue pops out of. After dodging one last attack, Lucy gestures to the book, "It's written in this book! A horrible adventure story with you as the main character, Everlue!"
"Wait, seriously?" The White Drago Ranger cocked an eyebrow upon this.
"It's wonderful that I'm the main character of that book!" Everlue retorted. "But that story is crap! For Kemu Zaleon, of all people, to write such rubbish!" The ground rumbles more as Everlue pops out from behind. "It's a disgrace!"
The two had to evade as the man digs into the ceiling while Lucy was disgusted upon the Duke's words. "You forced him to write it! How conceited can you get?!" she yelled.
"Conceited? I'm a great man! It is an honor for someone to labor to write my book!"
"Hell no!" The Ranger growled, truly feeling disgusted about the man. "Just from hearing this, you are nothing but a man who is selfish! You blackmailed him to write it!"
"And what would you know boy? Bah! I'm surprised your parents didn't keep you on the leash. You ungrateful brats should always be kept by your parent's side like a good dog." Everlue spat out.
Hearing this caused a tick mark on his helmet. "What did you say!?"
"I've had enough of this!" Lucy shouted out, "You… you are one of the worst people ever! And I'm going to end this now! Open! Gate of The Great Crab! Cancer!" she called out as the key she held up glowed before a magic seal is formed. What came out of it was a tall, dark-skinned man with glasses, scissors, and oddly enough crab legs on his back.
The White Ranger gawked upon this. First a large cross, then a clock, and now a crab-er man.. Er whatever! "Okay… now that is a first for me…" He observed.
"Ebi! Is it time for another hair cut, Lucy?" Cancer asked her, snipping the air with his scissors.
The Ranger facepalmed
"Now's not the time! We got a battle to do!" Lucy informed.
"If you want it that way, so be it!" Everlue spat out before he brought out… a golden Gate Key?! "Open! Gate of the Maiden! Virgo!" He called out as the key reacted and what was brought forth… was the large maid?!
"He's a Celestial Wizard!" Happy gawked.
"You called, Master?" Virgo said, looking down at the two. But oddly enough something was moving on top of her head as it soon revealed… Natsu?!
"Eh? How did I get here?" He blinked, looking down, "Hey! Enrique, Lucy!"
"How in the hell did you even end up here!?"
"After she started moving again, I went after her and… I don't have a clue!" Natsu replied. "What should we do!?"
"We have to handle Everlue!" Lucy pointed at the said man.
"Virgo, handle these brats!" Everlue ordered. "I'm going for that book!"
"Understood." The Celestial spirit obeyed as she raised her fist at Natsu who was back on the ground.
"Not this time!" Natsu slams his fists together, the familiar magic circle forming. "Fire Dragon's Roar!"
The White Ranger used his speed and appeared in front of Everlue, "This is for mocking Lucy you jerk!" He rears his arm back before punching Everlue in the face.
"GAH! It hurts! It hurts!" He cried out, holding his now broken nose.
"Hey, Crab guy!" White Ranger grabs the Duke by his shirt. "Give this guy what he deserves!" He tosses him into the air. Seeing this, Cancer leaps into the air with his scissors ready.
"Ebi," He said before he delivers a blinding 'strike' to the man before landing on his feet while Everlue landed on his back, knocked out. As for his hair, there not a single sight as he was now bald.
Seeing the Duke bald caused Natsu and the Ranger to laugh, "Nice one, Crab!" Natsu laughed.
*RUMBLE*
The rumbling was heard for the group as they noticed all the holes the Duke made was actually causing the building to collapse!
"Uh oh…" Natsu gulped.
"We won't be able to get out of here in time!" Lucy panicked.
The Ranger looks at his friends then at his surroundings. While his armor can help him, it won't be enough to save his friends. He needed something to get them all out… Wait..
He looks at his brace. "Wait…"
'The Great Beasts choose their masters, they follow them no matter where they go'
He recalls Makarov's words about the Great Dinosaurs. Focusing on one of the Dinosaurs, the head plate on his device suddenly changed the face of the Stega. "Stega!" he called.
Another rumble begins as what came out of the wall was Stego, as it poked its head in. It shook a bit to get some rubble off as it stared at him, ready for another command.
"So cool!" Natsu and Happy said in unison.
"Stega, get us out of here!" The White Ranger said.
The metal dinosaur's back opened up and its feet hovering off the ground. The White Ranger hops on before reaching his hand out. "Get on!" he advised. The others nodded as they climb on before the dinosaur quickly took off, making it in time as they reach the outside as the mansion soon collapsed in on itself as Lucy and Enrique watched in shock and disbelief.
"Now… all that's left is to give this to the client…" Natsu said before being the first one to leave.
"Just what kind of people are we hanging out with...?" Enrique groaned before he and Lucy followed Natsu and Happy.
The four returned to the mansion after that hectic incident as Lucy began to explain to Natsu and Enrique about the book. "The composition and style of this book are just awful," She said. "There was no way I could imagine it having been written by Kemu Zaleon."
"So?" Natsu asked.
"I think she is trying to say is that, from the writing of that book, there is a secret." Enrique clarified.
Lucy smiled, "Exactly."
Once they entered the building, Lucy approaches Melon and hands him the book. Seeing this surprised him at first before he slowly grabs hold of the book. "What is the meaning of this?" He asked. "I am quite sure I requested that you destroyed the book."
"I know…. But believe me, you can't destroy it. It has something special… For you!" Lucy said to him.
"Huh?" Natsu blinked in confusion. Even the young ranger was wondering why until the dots were finally connected.
"Now I know why" Enrique realized. "You're Kamu Zaleon's son. It explains why you were so upset and wanting the book destroyed. After what Everlue did, you wanted to get rid of the item that was a mockery to what he did to your father."
Lucy nodded with a smile before looking at the man. "Have you ever had a chance to read it?"
"No," Mr. Melon answered. "I couldn't bring myself to read it. It's trash. My father said so."
"So that's why you wanted to burn it?" Natsu said in anger.
"That's right."
This angered Natsu more before he lifted Mr. Melon by the collar. "Burn it just because it's dumb?! Isn't that going too far!? Your dad wrote that book!" Before he can scold the man further, Enrique and Lucy pulls him away.
"Natsu, wait! It's to protect his honor!"
"What?"
"Yes…" Mr. Melon admitted. "I'm ashamed that my father wrote Daybreak. 31 years ago, my father, after three years of having been gone finally returned home. I wanted to know why but as he opened the door, he opened the chest and pulled out a long piece of string. He tied it to his arm tightly and…"
The three realized what was next as they gasped in shock. "You mean… oh god…" Enrique uttered.
"Since then…. I have done my best to get this book destroyed… and erase the pain that held him down for so long…" Melon clenched it before he took out a lighter, ready to burn it away. "My father would agree."
"No, he wouldn't," Lucy denied. Before they knew it, the book glowed with a magic circle as the letters were floating off the book. "Zekua Melon was his real name. He cast a spell on this book."
The letters on the book began to rearrange itself before it revealed its true title.
'Dear Kaby.'
Lucy smiled, "That's right! It's written to his beloved son, Kaby. He cast a spell that rearranged the letters… on the entire book!" They begin to witness the letters in the book literally flying around, the sight being mesmerizing to Natsu and Happy but for Enrique, it was something to marvel for the first time in his life. It made him see just how beautiful the use of magic can do. "The reason he quit being an author is probably not because he wrote the most terrible book ever, but because he wrote the most incredible one. The book is a letter to you, Mr. Kaby."
Once the letters in the book finally finished rearranging itself, it closes itself before landing in Mr. Kaby's hands. The book was not known as 'Daybreak' but 'Dear Kaby' on it. His eyes widen as he opened the book and began to read it, as the others decided to let him read it, and know it's true meaning.
"Father, thank you…" Mr. Kaby mutters to himself, no longer feeling hate for his father.
Seeing this made them smile but for Enrique… it made him turn away before leaving the building. Once outside, he looks at the fossil necklace around his neck, recalling about his parents. His parents… while his parents think he should take over the family business, he wanted to pursue his dream of digging and learning the ancient history of countries around the world. He does care about his mom and dad but they never understood his dream… Or maybe they did…. And they allowed him to pursue it. Now.. he doesn't even know if they did or not. He doesn't even know if they are mad at him or not…
"I wonder if they are still mad at me for leaving…" He mutters to himself, recalling his argument with them...
2 Months Ago…
In a manor, Enrique had a few bags over his back, some being tools for the excavation trip. But when his parents took notice of it, they had to talk to him about it. Well… it wasn't ending well for sure.
"What do you mean you don't want me to go!?" Enrique asked in disbelief.
"Do I need to repeat myself? You're not going on that trip. You are here to stay and train so you can take over the family business!" His father denied.
"Isn't this business all about presenting the items of the past? For everyone to learn about the history of the world?" He argued.
"That matters not when you're running the company, son! Why don't you get it? You're meant for this!"
"Your father is right, you have to run this company soon."
"For this company or for yourselves?" Enrique shot back. "I want to learn, to explore the outside and discover the wonders of the past! I am tired of being here every single time just to hear you guys tell me about the family business! I want to study archeology and paleontology."
"Son… we're just trying to-"
"Trying to what? Do what is best for this company and not me?" He scoffed. "I am going to that trip! I want to pursue my dream than this!" He turns to the door.
"Enrique! That's not what we're trying to say! We just-"
"Don't bother…. I'm going…" He said before shutting the door and leaving them for his trip.
He frowned slightly upon that memory. He does miss them but… he was still mad at them...
"Enrique? You alright?" Lucy asked, walking up to him.
He was gotten out of his stupor before looking back to see Natsu and Lucy approaching him. "Uh… yeah, I'm alright." He responded. "Just in my thoughts is all. Nothing to worry about."
"Do you need some fish?" Happy asked, holding some fish up.
"No thanks," He denied as the metal Tupuxuara snatched up the fish from Happy's hand.
"Hey! That's mine!" The cat was tugging the other half of the fish, trying to pull but the metal dinosaur was larger and taller than him as it lifted its head up as Happy was lifted off the ground.
"Just let it have the fish, Happy. You got more." Lucy pointed out.
Happy whined as he releases his grip, allowing the Tupuxuara to swallow the entire fish. "Now that is settled, let's head back!" Natsu said. "And we are walking from here!"
"Surprised to hear that from you since we have Stega," Enrique chuckled.
"He does deserve a break after all," He grinned.
The three then made their way back as night was finally blanketing the sky. As they walk, Lucy was sulking over the fact that they couldn't get their reward since they didn't burn the book.
"I can't believe we had to let 2,000,000 jewels slide like that," Lucy whined.
"Taking money for a request that wasn't completed would damage Fairy Tail's good name," Natsu said. "Plus it didn't feel right to take it from someone like that."
"Aye!"
"I am surprised they weren't even rich," Enrique said. He was told from Natsu that the couple actually lived in a logged cabin. "But hey, at least we did a good job to help Mr. Kaby."
"Yeah.. as well as show him the truth…." Lucy smiled softly, "Though… this does leave a problem for us, Enrique…" She said gaining his attention, "We don't have any money…."
"Ah… oh…" He uttered, realizing the two have to pay the rent for the home they live in.
"Then let's get back and go on another job!" Natsu offered until the sound of a stomach growl was heard from him. "But first… we should camp in for the night."
"Yeah… sleep is a good idea," Enrique yawned, showing that he was getting tired.
Coming to an agreement, they began to set up a place to eat and sleep for the night. Stega carried some firewood to them as Natsu lights it up. Once the campfire was set, the two cooking their own food. For Enrique, he decided not to eat since from what he was seeing by the fire was cooked lizard and two weird fishes that Natsu and Happy begin to eat.
"You know… I really look up to that writer," Lucy said.
Hearing this made Natsu look at her with some amusement, "Just as I thought.." Lucy blinked. "Those pile of papers I saw that on your desk. It's a novel you were writing, isn't it."
"What gives you the permission to look through my belongings?!" she questioned, smacking Natsu.
"Huh?" Enrique raised his head before looking at Lucy. "Never thought you would write, Lucy."
She blushed softly, looking away, "I-It's… a work in progress… but I'm still really bad! I'd just die of embarrassment if someone read it!"
"Hey, hey calm down," Enrique said. "If it makes you feel any better, we won't read or tell anyone else about it. Right, Natsu, Happy?"
"Well….." They said in unison, thinking about telling the whole guild.
"If you are planning on telling them…" Enrique frowned.
"W-We're just joking! Right Happy?"
"A-Aye!"
"Sure you are," He rolled his eyes. "I got my eye on you two so you better not spill the beans."
"Please… the only ones who'd make us talk it the devil herself!" Natsu grinned.
"A-Aye… though I wouldn't want her to hear you say that Natsu... You remember how she can know everything by the sight of your soul…" Happy pointed out.
The duo shuddered as if there was something they were afraid of. "Well…" Natsu yawned. "Let's all get some shut eye! We will get to the city by the afternoon tomorrow! So we have to leave early in the morning!"
"Aye!" And just like that, the two immediately fell asleep.
The raven-haired teen sighed, realizing that it was indeed getting late. "I'm gonna get some sleep too… night..." he muttered before he leans against Stega's side and closed his eyes.
"Heh, sleep tight you guys." Lucy smiled, as she looked up at the night sky, watching the stars pass above her before she began to grow drowsy before she soon dozed off into sleep as well.
The sun was rising on the horizon, the sunlight beaming down on the clearing of the campsite. The four members of Fairy Tail were sleeping soundly. When the sunlight hits the slumbering group, the first to wake up was Enrique. He groaned before he yawned. Rubbing his eyes he stretched, hearing a pop on his back, giving him relief since he practically slept against a steel belly of a metal dinosaur.
He looked before he noticed Lucy was now curled up, next to the Tupuxuara. The metal winged dinosaur grew a bit more overnight as she was sleeping on its stomach, looking very peaceful as the dinosaur didn't mind as it too slept.
Glancing behind him, the Stega grew… As in he grew as tall as a truck!
"HOLY CRAP!" He gawked.
"Geh... H-Huh?! Are we under attack?!" Natsu questioned, standing up and his fists igniting, but he was very groggy and only made a swing before his flames hit the ground as it began to surge towards a tree and catch it on fire.
"Natsu! You made a tree catch on fire!" Enrique scolded.
"Fire….Dragon…. Iron… A… A.. ACHOO!" He sneezed, sending another ball of fire before it erased the tree that was once there. Enrique gawked before he slammed his fist on the top of Natsu's head. "OW! What was that for?!"
"Firstly, the tree!" He pointed at the now gone plant.
"Huh? Didn't you do that?"
"I don't breathe fire like you numbskull!"
"Have you even tried?" Natsu questioned as if Enrique could, but never tried.
"NO!" He waved his arms.
"Well, maybe you just did and didn't want to feel ashamed." Natsu nodded.
"Ugh…" he facepalmed before raising his head. "Why did I even bother… and secondly," He points at Stega. "The reason for my outburst is Stega!"
"Woah! It got bigger!" Natsu beamed, "Think it knows how to breathe fire now?"
"Look at Tupuxuara," he jabs his thumb to the larger metal beast.
"Awesome!" Natsu cried out, "Lucy, Happy, wake up!"
"Aye…" Happy waved off with a groan, slowly leaning upward.
Lucy yawned as she was starting to wake up. "What's going on?" She asked tiredly.
"Check out the two dragons!" Natsu gestured to the two metal beasts. "They grew!"
"H-Huh?" She blinked, looking up and her eyes widen, "H-How did it grow even more just over night?!"
"How should I know!?" Enrique replied. "I think this will continue until they reach their actual size…"
"Awesome! We'll be able to ride these dragons who are as big as mountains!" Natsu cried out happily.
"Right now they are tall as a train…" Lucy gulped upon their tall size.
"Aye! And maybe they hunger for Lucy!" Happy chuckled.
"Hey!" Lucy yelled at the two. "I am not food!"
"Let's just head back to the guild," Enrique insisted. "This is giving me a headache."
Natsu blinked, "Oh… right… yeah, let's head guild building."
"Aye! And I know a shortcut!" Happy raised his paw. "Follow me!"
After getting packed up, the four took the shortcut that Happy suggested. That being a swampy area.
"You gotta be kidding me…" Lucy uttered in disgust as Natsu was first to walk across the muck. "We have to cross this!?"
"Yup! The best way to get back to Fairy Tail!" Natsu grinned.
"You expect us to cross this!?" She exclaimed.
"Well, we can't use Stega or Aero." Natsu crossed his arms.
"Eh? Aero?"
"Yeah. He needs a name too." Natsu points to the Tupuxuara, now named 'Aero'.
The young Ranger glanced at the metal dinosaur. "Well… he does manipulate the wind. So, it does sound like a good name."
"Ha! I knew you would agree to it!"
Lucy grumbled before she decided to use a Celestial Key. "Gate of the Clock, I open thee! Horologium!" She announced before she swings her key, creating a magic circle as Horologium appeared as she once again enters the clock.
"'If we are gonna walk through this mess, I rather be in here as we walk through this swamp,' She sighs" Horologium quoted.
"Great…" Enrique complained as he had no choice but to walk through the swamp, the water feeling utterly weird and nothing but gross to him. "I'm seriously gonna have to wash my clothes after this…"
"He, a little grim didn't hurt anyone!" Natsu pointed out, walking through it like it was nothing.
"Hey! Digging through dirt, going through a forest, and climbing a mountain is one thing but this," he gestured to the swamp they are walking through. "This is another thing I dislike!"
"You'll get used to it."
"And that will be when I write it on my grave." Enrique rolled his eyes.
They had to walk across the swampy water, but luckily it didn't take them very long as they were finally out of the swamp, now in a clear path.
"I'm tired… she says."
"You sat in there all day…." Happy deadpanned at Lucy.
"Sheesh." Natsu huffs until a bush in front of the group rustles and two eyes twinkle through it.
This catches their attention as Natsu tosses his sack aside and jumps towards the bushes where the noise came from, "Who are you!?" Natsu yells as smoke immediately rises from behind the bushes as Natsu and the unknown person collide.
"Is he trying to pick a fight?" Lucy raised an eyebrow.
"Go for it, Natsu!" Happy cheered.
Just then jumping out from the bush is Natsu and…a half-naked Gray who's only wearing only his boxers. The two looking angrily at each other as they land on the ground a couple feet away from each other.
"It's Gray!" Happy says.
"Why is he in his underwear?!" Enrique exclaimed, "And where'd he come from anyway?!"
"I was looking for the bathroom!" Gray yelled.
"Why did you strip before you found one, jerk?! And there's no way there'd be a bathroom in the forest anyway!" Natsu responded in annoyance.
"And weren't you the one barging in when a guy's going to the bathroom, bastard!?" Gray retorted.
"Do they always fight like this?" Enrique questioned Happy.
"Aye, they're rivals." Happy nodded, "His name is Gray Fullbuster."
"I see…" he looks at the arguing duo. He sighed before he intervened. "Alright let's not fight, okay?"
"Stay out of this!" They said in unison, causing him to flinch.
"Might as well let them steam it out, they'll snap out of it soon." Happy shrugged, "Meantime… it's fish time!" He said happily, taking out a tuna.
"And how long do their fights last?"
"Sometimes months."
"Okay! Then we are leaving!"
"'I'm fine with that!' She agrees." The celestial clock quoted Lucy's words.
They were about to leave until more rustling was heard. "Uh, guys…" Enrique called out.
"How about I shove my fist up yours!" Natsu said to Gray.
"Guys…"
"Keep that up, and I'll make you regret joining the guild!" Gray threatened.
"Guys, she says," The Clock said.
"Why I outta-!"
"YOU GUYS!" Enrique shouted, only to receive glared from the two other boys.
"What!?"
"I think there is something else here," Enrique informed as the others finally notice the rustling in the bushes.
They huddled, looking at their surroundings as black blurs hop out of the bushes, revealing the familiar monsters they (except Gray) faced before.
"What in the world are these things? Lizardmen?" Gray questioned.
"These are the TyrannoDrones to what old man called them!" Natsu recognized.
"And…. why are they glaring at us?" He asked.
"Because of how you are allied with the Ranger," A voice said.
What hopped down from the tree was a humanoid Dimetrodon, its skin was a pale sky blue with some silver and grey claw markings on its body, with a few metal scales and covers on some of the joints, but the scary part was the blades on its claws, tail, knees, shoulders, even its back.
."What… is that thing?" Gray asked the others.
"Who cares! Let's kick its ass!" Natsu grinned.
Enrique looks at the others before looking at his brace. Crossing his arm, the gem glowed to reveal the device. "White Ranger, Drago Power!" He pressed the key as his body was surrounded by light before it revealed the armor and his head was next to be surrounded in light before it revealed the helmet.
"And… since when could your new friend do, 'That', Natsu?" Gray pointed.
"Hehe, jealous much, Gray? Jealous that we have another Dragon Slayer in the guild and he is my friend and in a team with me, but not you?" Natsu taunted with the largest smirk you could ever see.
"Hey! You can't be that lucky!" The ice wizard growled.
"And two dragons follow!" Natsu added.
"Hello! Are you planning on talking or do me and the drones have to deal with you?" The twisted experiment asked.
"Just… 'what' are you?" Happy asked.
"Call me…. Trido-Blade!"
"Seriously?" They all said in unison. "What kind of evil name is that?"
"Hey! Says the mangy human idiots!" The monster shot back.
Lucy, Horologium, and the White Ranger pointed at Gray and Natsu, as if they were pointing to the only idiots in the group. "What are you looking at?" They both said in unison before glaring at one another.
"TyrannoDrones! Defeat the wizards! The Ranger is mine!" Trido-Blade ordered. The onyx-colored monsters hissed in obedience before rushing towards the group while Trido-Blade goes after the White Ranger.
"Guys? Can you maybe put your quarl off for a moment and help me out?" The Ranger asked the two wizards.
"Ugh… Fine…." They groaned in unison. "Hey! Stop copying me!"
"Focus!" The Ranger scolded, only to be distracted as he was sent to a tree from the swing of Trido-Blade's tail. The White Ranger quickly rolls away the moment the monster brought down its claws, only cutting down the tree.
"Bah. I don't know why Zeltrax was worried about. You're nothing but a weak human!" Trido-Blade scoffed, swinging his tail as the blades swung near his stomach.
'Zeltrax…?' The Ranger repeated in thought before he yelps in pain from the attack. He quickly brings up his Drago Sword and twirls it around, bringing forth a volley of arrows. "Fire!" He commanded, causing the arrows to fly towards Trido-Blade.
"As if, I'll let that happen!" The monster cried out, raising its arms as made a swipe downward. Upon doing this, numerous blades of energy flies out, and collide with the arrows, halting and destroying them before ever reaching its body as they continue to pass through and sliced the Ranger, casting sparks off of his armor.
"GAAH!" He cries out from the attack.
"Haha! I think this will be an easy win for us!" Trido-Blade laughed with glee.
The White Ranger grimaced as he stood up, smoke emitting from his armor. "I am not gonna give up," He said.
"Bah! As if you can even try?" The abomination spat out before sending more of those blades at him.
Each hit created sparks to cast of his armor, causing him to scream in pain from each hit. He gritted his teeth, holding back the pain before he grips his blade tightly.
"We will see about that lizard breath!" He argued before the dagger extended, allowing him to strike the monster across its chest, sparks casting off its body.
"Enrique! Jump back, now!" Lucy called out to him. Not wanting to ask why he quickly jumps back from the monster who shook its head to clear its senses. From above, came Taurus as it held up his ax, flying towards the creature before slamming the ax down on top of it, as blood and sparks spewed out from the blow.
"Fire Dragon!"
"Ice Make!"
"Iron Fist!/Lance!"
Natsu and Gray combined their attacks, as the fire came first, sending it into the air before an ice lance shot out, striking it before encasing it in ice.
"Yeah, we got it!" Natsu grinned.
However, their luck ran out as they heard a whirring sound, as if… something was being cut. They look at the frozen monster before the ice shattered as the blades on its body were literally acting like chainsaws!
"You lousy humans! As if that'll stop me!" Trido-Blade growled, slashing around and sending those blades all around, slicing through trees, rocks and even the ground.
"Take cover!" Happy quickly gets into hiding as well as the others.
"Great now what?!" Lucy asked.
"I'm thinking, I'm thinking!" Natsu argued.
The White Ranger peeks over to notice the blades scattered across the area. Each blade was slowly going back to the monster as if it was meant to return. The only thing left was the large saw on its back but the blades though… maybe if they were to grab all the blades and strike it in one go…
"That's it!" The Ranger realized. "You guys, I have an idea!"
"What?"
"See the blades scattered across the ground? That freak is getting its weapons back like magnets." He pointed at each piece that was floating back to Trido-Blade. "If we were to grab them and Natsu and Gray cover them with ice and fire…"
"Then we may have a chance to beat it! Well done, Enrique!" Lucy complimented.
The Ranger chuckled sheepishly before he stood up. "I'll use the armor's speed to grab them quickly! You guys distract it!" He advised. "Happy, Lucy, you two help me out with the gathering! Natsu, Gray, distract that lizard freak!"
"Why do we have to do that? Can't we just beat it until it stops?" Natsu questioned.
"If you haven't noticed, it nearly sliced us like cheese!" Lucy reminded.
"It got lucky." He crossed his arms.
"Less talking, more focus on task! Let's do this!" The Ranger said before he used his speed to gather the blades to his left while Lucy and Happy went to the right to grab the other blades that were starting to go back to Trido-Blade.
Natsu and Gray though started their distraction. Both fighters heading in opposite directions as they shot out their respected elements at the monster. It struck his body, causing him to snarl and send a few wind slashes at them as he was regaining his blades.
"I got the first half!" The Ranger said. "Natsu! Light it up!" He tossed the blades.
"Same for you, Gray!" Lucy tossed the other blades that were now going back to Trido-Blade.
"Alright! I'm fired up now!" Natsu grinned, inhaling some air before unleashing a large torrent of flames.
"Heh, guess I should get serious," Gray smirked, as he soon formed that of a large ice cannon before he pointed at the other blades and shot them with ice.
Both elements hit their targets, coating them in fire and ice as they soon come back to the monster. His eyes widen as he tried to make it stop, but unable to as they followed him around. He tried to go underground, into the river and sky but they followed until they reached his body. And once attached he was soon met with half burning sensation and the other half of being freezing cold as one side was now burnt black and the other was encased in ice, leaving it vulnerable now.
"It actually worked!"
"And now time to finish it!" The White Ranger declared as he grabs his dagger before the blade extended, a golden glow forming in it. Striking the air in an 'X' mark, he uses the blade as the X strike was sent right at Trido-Blade.
The 'X' mark glows as the monster cries out in pain before an explosion erupted from it as his screams fade quickly, leaving only ash left and a small faint trace of shattered ice and scattered embers from where it was.
"That should take care of that blade freak!"
"Yeah…" The Ranger sighed as he felt dizzy for some reason. "Hey.. why is it cold?"
"Maybe because of ice breath here," Natsu jabbed his thumb at Gray.
"Hey!" Gray barked.
"E-Enrique…" Lucy noticed. "Your side…"
The Ranger looks at his side and noticed blood. "Huh… would you look at that…" he said before he fell back.
"Ugh…" Enrique soon opened his eyes, seeing he was now in a hospital room. He slowly sat up but winced as he cluthced the spot of his injury that was wrapped in bandages. "Ow…"
Hearing his voice caught the other's attention as Lucy was the first to react.
"Enrique!" Lucy cried out, hugging him gently.
"What happened…?" He rubs his head.
"Well… turns out he almost had the final laugh." Lucy said, holding up a dagger that looked like it belonged to a cult. "Apparently, before he died, he shot this out at you and severed a few arteries, cut through your lung, and more… Luckily, Gray was able to make sure you didn't lose any blood until we got here." She said, turning to the side to see the three other guild members. Erique couldn't help byt be thankful to Gray for preventing further blood loss.
He glanced at his side to see the bandages and winced. "Man, it hurts like hell…" he winced. "How long was I out anyway?"
"4 days." Gray said, "Lucy didn't leave your side at all." He teased, only to be kicked in the face by her.
"It is not like that!" She flustered in embarrassment.
"Lucy Li~kes you!" Happy teased, only for Lucy to kick him as well.
"Shut it you cat!" She warned.
Enrique couldn't help but laugh upon seeing the interaction between them until he realized something. "Hey, where're the two dinos?"
"Oh uh… well during our trip back took a while and within those few days… er…" Gray crossed his arms but tried to find a right explanation for the white ranger.
"They're tall!" Happy spreads his arms wide.
"Define tall," Enrique raised an eyebrow.
"They're big as the Duke's mansion…" Lucy finished. "From the sewers, we were in, to as tall as the spires it had…"
"Eh?"
"Check it out!" Natsu pointed outside. Enrique slowly stood up before he walks over to the window but when he did, his jaw dropped. They were indeed big. They were already taller than the buildings! The two dinos were resting by the border of the forest as some others who were walking by stared at the two large beasts in amazement and awe.
"How are we gonna bring them back to the Guild when they are already huge!?"
"Maybe they can grow small?" Natsu stated.
"How exactly are we gonna do that!?"
"Ask it nicely?" He added on.
Enrique facepalmed, "Why did I even bother asking… so… what happens now?"
"For now, heal up. You need it after killing that thing." Gray said, patting his shoulder, "And if you ever feel like ditching flame head here, you're free to join my team."
"Hey! He is part of my team!" Natsu growled.
"Well, now he has a better option," Gray smirked.
"Uh… Gray," Enrique called out.
"What's up?" The fellow raven-haired teen asked.
"Put some pants on!"
Gray looks down to see that he was indeed not wearing any pants or a shirt. "Ah, crap!" He gawked, not realizing that he stripped down already.
