On with the story


Night time

Hargeon

Near a house top

Natsu was in his thief outfit as he was looking at the museum using binoculars

"hmmm, looks like this place up their security" Natsu thought out loud as he saw many security guards patrolling the place

The museum was on high alert as they had just received Natsu's warning card that said that he will strike at night

"looks like this is time for you to shine, Little buddy" Natsu said as he pulled out a little cage

He set it down and opens it as a little ferret came out of the cage

"ready for the show, Bandit?" Natsu said to the little furry guy who squeaked while nodding

"okay then" Natsu then grabs a thin rope that had a grappling hook attached to one end as he started spinning the rope in his hand before he throws it at a tree branch near the museum's trees

He tugs it a few times to make sure it is secure

"alright" Natsu said as he let Bandit climb onto the rope

"be careful, Bandit" Natsu whispered as the little guy stealthy scurry his way to the tree before sneaking into the museum

Natsu waited for a few minutes as he looks at his watch for a few moments

He then grabs the binoculars and looks to the museum's roof where Bandit was standing there signaling for Natsu to come

He smiled before he grabs his cloak and spins as he transforms into a red colored bat

Natsu as a bat use his ability to fly to get to the rooftop of the museum where he landed and transforms back to normal

"man, that still tickles" Natsu said before opening the ventilation system he spotted this morning

"time to come in"

Natsu and Bandit slides into the ventilation system as they made their way into the museum

In the museum

Guards were patrolling the area as they were on high alert for Natsu to arrive

They were surveying the area for anything suspicious

Shadows sneak past them all as Natsu and Bandit were hiding by sticking to the ceiling like sneaky lizards

Natsu looks around before walking forward and turned around the corner

"bingo" he whispered as he sees the Museum prized scarlet gem,

"the Igbuncle gem, said to contain the magic of an ancient magic thought to be forgotten" Natsu whispered as he and Bandit quietly jumps off the ceiling and landed quietly

He looks around really quick and saw that there weren't any guards stationed at the place

"weird…?" Natu whispered as he looks around the place for any guards

"for something this valuable, there should be guards guarding it"

Natsu thought out loud before he jumps away when a giant spider net came flying at him

"shit!" he backflips away as he landed near the wall

"what the heck?!" he looks up and sees Kagura Mikazuchi standing at a built in podium with two female women, one looks like a cat addicted one while the other looks like she is wearing a spider themed suit

"they hired Mermaid Heel?!" he said as he jumps away from a web net

"Nyaa! Let's get him!" the cat looking girl shouted as she reached her hands forward and a pink magic circle appeared and several orange ropes came flying towards Natsu

"crap!" Natsu started running around the place as he had read the files of every guild in Hargeon and read about the particular cat girl

Milliana, a member of Mermaid Heel, her magic allows her to conjure magical tubes which she can fling towards her target and bind them, effectively restraining them. The tubes constrict or stretch as per Millianna's command. The tubes can also prevent the ones it wraps around from using Magic

"hora!" the other girl put her hands together and fired a sticky spider web like net

Aranna web, also a member of Mermaid Hell who can create sticky spider web like thread that binds her enemy

"shit" Natsu backflips away from all of their attacks as he was having a hard time not to get caught in them

He ducks as Kagura appeared and nearly sliced his head off with her sword

Natsu tried to run away but failed as the gravity around him suddenly got heavy as he got stuck to the floor and couldn't move

"gravity….magic!?" Natsu tried to lift up his face but could not as the pressure was getting stronger by the second

"looks like we got him" Arana said as she and Milliana went to Kagura

Kagura nodded and looks at Natsu

""pink hair? Where have i?"" Kagura thought before seeing Natsu's body inflating like a balloon before he pops

"AH! KAGURA-CHAN KILLED HIM!" Milliana shouted in horror

"like hell she can!" Arana shouted

"on guard!" Kagura exclaimed as she focused on the surroundings

Arana and Milliana got ready as they look around for Natsu

Milliana got confused as she felt something tugging her leg

She looks down and saw that a rope was tied around her ankle

"Nya?" she said before she got yanked up to the ceiling

"HELP ME!" Milliana screamed while flailing around

"Milliana!" Arana exclaimed before she felt her foot sinking into the floor

She looks down and sees a tile got pressed down

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Little explosions circle around Arana and before she knew it, a hole appeared bellow her and she fell into it

"AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

"Arana!" Kagura looks around and saw Natsu standing beside the glass case of the Igbuncle gem as the man was holding it

"pleasure meeting you, fine ladies" Natsu said as he did a bow before he exploded into smoke and disappeared

Kagura closes her eyes and coughs while trying to chase after Natsu

She ran outside and saw the security guards panicking around while trying to find Natsu

"he got away!" Kagura curses before spotting someone standing a purple rose on a bench

She went to it and took it, Kagura saw that a note was under the rose

She picked it up and opens it as it reads

"Adieu, Miss Kagura"

Kagura looks to the letter before crunching it into a ball with her hands

Natsu looks at Kagura on top of a roof as he chuckles before turning around and disappears

This is the start of their relationship


That's a wrap!

Bye bye
