X-Tail
Ch 3: Galuna Island
Part 1
Outside of Lucy's Apartment 5:00 AM
Nightcrawler had silently followed the little, blue cat all the way to a strange building. He wasn't surprised to find Natsu there. During their talk on the way to Fairy Tail, Natsu mentioned a few of his exploits; which included defeating a misogynistic imposter, aiding in the arrest of Duke Everlue, and assisting in destroying a giant demon known as Lullaby. Natsu had also mentioned Lucy, Erza, and Happy; other members of his team that he'd yet to meet. He'd already been introduced to Gray, but he sensed that he had a good heart.
Nightcrawler had been dealt an even greater surprise when he saw a young girl with them. She had long, blond hair that went all the way to her back, with a red ribbon tied to left side and brown eyes. She was wearing an orange tank-top with a white trim, a blue jean skirt, a red belt, and red sandals. She also had a brown pouch with a strange set of keys on her left hip and a black whip on her right hip. Her guild mark was stamped on the back of her left hand in pink. This was Lucy Heartfilia, a member of Natsu's team and the newest member of Fairy Tail.
Nightcrawler had also gotten a better at the blue cat he'd seen with the green backpack. He had a white underbelly, black eyes, pointy ears, and a blue tail with a tuft of white at the end. He also had pink paws and a strange, light blue blush on his cheeks. The strangest part was that the cat had actually sprouted white wings from his back and he was using them to fly! This was Happy, Natsu's best friend.
'Katzen können fliegen?' Nightcrawler thought to himself.
Still using the shadows as cover, Nightcrawler kept his distance as he saw Natsu, the cat, and the girl talking enthusiastically. The girl now had the flyer that was in the cat's paws and Nightcrawler could hear he mention something about a gate key. Finally, Nightcrawler's curiosity had been aroused enough to intervene.
"Okay, what's going on?" Nightcrawler said from the shadows.
The sudden voice had surprised Lucy to the point that she landed on a nearby cactus and was visibly screaming in pain as she frantically tried to remove it from her buttocks. Natsu and Happy on the other hand looked wary.
"Who said that?" Happy asked confusedly.
"The cat can talk?!" Nightcrawler said incredulously.
"Or course he can talk. Happy's my best friend. Is that you Kurt?" Natsu asked still looking around for the voice.
"Of course it's me. I'm standing in the shadow of the tree in front of you." Nightcrawler responded honestly.
"I'm sorry Kurt. I can hear you, but I can't see you." Natsu replied.
Nightcrawler had suddenly moved away from the shadow of the tree and could tell that they could see him now, given Happy's expression at seeing him and Lucy's abrupt stop at getting the cactus off of her butt.
"How'd you do that?" Natsu asked excitedly.
"Oh, sorry. I forgot to mention that my body can blend with the shadows to the point that I appear to be invisible under them. Cool right?" Nightcrawler explained.
"Wow. No wonder why the X-Men called you 'Nightcrawler'." Natsu said in an impressed voice.
"Actually, it comes from my days in the Munich Circus as 'The Amazing Nightcrawler.'" Nightcrawler explained fondly.
He was suddenly pulled from his conversation by the startled expressions of Happy and the blond girl. He didn't want to risk scaring them like he did the others at the guild. In fact, there was hardly anyone at the guild when he arrived so, there were still numerous members he hadn't met yet. He had to plan what he was about to say with absolute cunning.
"Hi." Nightcrawler simply said.
Despite his attempt, Happy and Lucy had gone into a maniacal state of panic and simply ran, or in Happy's case, flew, around in a giant circle screaming their heads off. Not wanting to cause a scene, Natsu bonked Lucy and Happy on their heads, which knocked them out instantly with big, red bumps on their heads. Fortunately, no one had awoken from their slumber.
Lucy was the first to awaken, but instead of hitting Natsu back like she normally would've, she was trying not to wet herself in the presence of Nightcrawler. Happy had a similar feeling when he woke up and trembled in silent fear with Lucy. Finally, Lucy mustered up all of her courage and spoke.
"A-are you going to eat us Mr. Demon?" Lucy fearfully asked.
"No. My name is Kurt Wagner and I'm not a demon." Nightcrawler honestly replied.
"Then, why do you look like a d-demon?" Happy timidly asked.
"He's a mutant from another universe. Try to keep up guys." Natsu bluntly explained.
"What?!" Lucy and Happy cried out incredulously.
"I'll tell you about it later, but I have two very important things that need to be done right now." Nightcrawler said.
"Fräulein, es ist ein Kaktus auf den Hintern' Nightcrawler said in his native tongue.
"Huh?" Lucy asked in confusion.
"Oh, sorry. I forgot you don't speak German here. I said 'Miss, there is a cactus on your butt.'" Nightcrawler explained.
In that very instant, Lucy had begun to yell in pain as she desperately tried to get the cactus off of her butt. Unable to see a girl in pain, Nightcrawler merely teleported and easily pulled off the cactus from a running Lucy and returned it to where she sat on it. However, she was unaware of this and continued to run as if the cactus was still on her butt for several minutes before she realized it was off.
Her realization had come at seeing Natsu and Happy uncontrollably laughing at the display. Kurt only had a small smile, but was still mildly amused by her display. She swiftly beat up Natsu and Happy, but she didn't attack Kurt out of wariness.
"Now that that's done, would you mind showing me what you have in your hands miss?" Nightcrawler asked.
This caused all of Team Natsu to return to reality with a frantic Lucy explaining, "N-nothing! We weren't doing any job request!"
"I never said you did, miss." Nightcrawler smugly said.
"Great job Lucy. You spilled the beans." Happy said insensitively.
"Actually, I saw you take the job request Happy. So, it's actually your fault." Nightcrawler said.
This news caused Happy to pale and he solemnly went into a nearby corner in shame and humiliation.
"Why are you guys doing this? Last I heard, none of you guys are S-Class wizards." Nightcrawler said in exasperation.
"Yeah, but if we complete an S-Class quest, gramps will promote us for sure!" Natsu replied determinedly.
Nightcrawler took a long sigh, never breaking eye contact with Natsu. Nightcrawler turned to a still timid Lucy and gently held out his hand.
"Please, show me what you were going to do." Nightcrawler said gently.
Lucy was still trembling in fear, crumpling up the paper in the process.
"Trust me. I'm not your enemy Lucy." Nightcrawler said warmly.
In awe of his demeanor, Lucy willingly handed the paper to Nightcrawler. He read the job description; in big, bold letters were the words 'HELP US', asking the wizard to lift the curse off of a place called Galuna Island. Apparently it had been going on for three years, much to Nightcrawler's disgust.
These people were in need of a savior and they were suffering. The day he became an X-Man, Nightcrawler vowed to help anyone who needed it. These people had suffered for too long, and maybe God was testing him at this moment to see what he'd do next.
"Okay, I'm in." Nightcrawler seriously said.
"What?!" Natsu, Happy and Lucy exclaimed in shock.
"These people need a savior, and with God as my witness, no one else will suffer on that island." Nightcrawler replied stoically.
"Wait, you're not interested in the reward Mr. Nightcrawler Demon sir?" Lucy asked
Kurt scanned the bottom and found out that the job paid 7 million jewels and a golden Zodiac key.
"Call me Kurt, and no, I'm not interested. The safety of the people always comes first for a member of The X-Men." Nightcrawler explained.
"So, you just want to help because it's the right thing to do?" Lucy asked confusedly.
"Of course. God never asked for anything in return for his miracles, so why should I?" Nightcrawler warmly replied.
Without further hesitation, Natsu clapped Nightcrawler on the shoulder and proudly said; "Welcome to the team!" as he tried to hold back his tears from Nightcrawler's speech.
Fairy Tail Guild 8:30 AM
The morning had begun and the vast majority of the guild was present. Makarov was enjoying his morning coffee when he suddenly approached by a young woman.
She had long white hair, blue eyes, and she was wearing a simple red, sleeveless dress that contained her impressive 'assets'. This was Mirajane Strauss, former S-Class wizard and current head waitress of Fairy Tail.
"Master, I have really bad news. One of the S-Class quests is missing!" Mirajane said worriedly.
Makarov took a long sip of his coffee before he spit it out in shock. He went into a mild coughing fit before he turned around.
"What?!" Makarov yelled in surprise.
Unfortunately, the entire guild was in earshot of the conversation and they panicked when they heard Mira's news.
"Say what?" a brown-haired man in a green shirt and brown pants with a cigarette in his mouth, named Wakaba, said, "One of the S-Class quests is missing?"
"Who would be willing to something like that if they aren't S-Class?" a man with purplish-black hair wearing a white coat and dark pants, named Macao, asked.
"Someone really smart or really stupid. Whatever. I need to pinch a loaf." A bespectacled purple haired girl named Laki said as she walked away, uninterested.
"I know who it is." a deep, masculine voice said from the second floor in a wooden chair; the others looked up to see a muscular young man with spiky, blond hair, spiked headphones over his ears, and a lightning bolt over his right eye. He was wearing a leopard-print shirt with burgundy pants and gray shoes. He was strangely draped in a gray fur coat. This was Laxus Dreyar, an S-Class wizard and Makarov's grandson. "I saw a blue cat fly up and rip the job from the wall."
"It was Happy?" Mira asked. "That means Natsu was behind it!" Mira yelled in concern.
"Laxus, you mean to tell me that you saw Happy take an S-Class quest and you did nothing to stop him!?" Makarov said as he shot daggers at his grandson, who only smiled smugly.
"Hey, all I saw was a blue cat gramps. I had no idea it was Happy." Laxus said, although his smirk suggested otherwise.
"By the way, I think I had one too many last night, but I also saw a weird, blue guy with a tail follow Happy."
"Kurt went with them too!? Makarov yelled as he cursed unintelligibly. "Is he insane?! He almost died at the hands of a Vulcan! He's going to get himself killed!"
"Hey, wait a minute. I think I saw Natsu go to Lucy's apartment last night. Maybe she went with them!" Macao said.
"Laxus, how could you let them go?!" Mirajane reprimanded; resisting the urge to kill Laxus.
"Hey, Natsu isn't cleared for S-Class quests. I never dreamed he'd break the rules like that sweetheart. Besides, he's probably going to get himself killed so it doesn't even matter, right baby?" Laxus replied, giving a small chuckle at the end.
Everyone was absolutely furious with Laxus; they knew he was lying. However, they were more concerned with him allowing a guest of the guild to go on an S-Class quest, especially one who couldn't handle a Vulcan. Mirajane let Laxus know this with a serious glare that would make even Erza wet herself.
Laxus was unnerved by this, but he managed to play it cool and gave a warm chuckle. "I haven't seen that look in a while, sweet cheeks." Despite her current attitude, when Mira was an S-Class wizard, nobody messed with her. The ones who did were battered, bruised, and needed a change of pants afterwards.
Despite the current tension, Makarov decided to get back to the matter at hand. "This is very bad Mirajane. Which job was taken?"
Mira came back to reality and regained her original, worried attitude." It was the Galuna Island job."
Everyone in the guild went into a panicked frenzy. The Galuna Island job was left alone for a reason; anyone who set foot on that island would never return.
"Laxus!" Makarov yelled, "Bring those fools back here at once!"
"Yeah right, Gramps." Laxus scoffed, "Everyone at Fairy Tail is supposed to look out for themselves, right?"
"I don't care how you feel about Natsu!" Makarov snapped in utter rage, "The fact is, you're the only person strong enough to bring them back alive by force!"
"Sorry master, but I've got to disagree with you there. I'll bring them back." Gray said stoically with a fire in his eyes.
"Can I trust you to keep Kurt okay, Gray?" Makarov asked, knowing of their unfortunate meeting.
"I'll try not to break anything." Gray replied as he ran off to find them; only to be smiling maliciously as he ran the other way.
'Demon boy's going right back to hell.' Gray thought to himself.
Hargeon 9:00 AM
Kurt, Natsu, Lucy, and Happy had taken their first steps in the lovely city of Hargeon. Hargeon was a 1920's port city and the most beautiful in all of Fiore. It was more known for fishing than magic and it only had one magic store. Coincidentally, it is also where Natsu and Happy met Lucy.
"Oh, wow. It seems like only yesterday that I met Natsu and Happy here." Lucy nostalgically said with a smile.
"It was practically yesterday, remember? You don't have to act all mushy. It gives me a stomachache." Natsu grumbled.
"Aye sir! She sounds like an old lady." Happy teased, only to get a glare from Lucy.
"Well, now that we're here, let's find a boat to take us to Galuna Island." Nightcrawler said.
"Are you crazy?! Forget a boat, let's just swim there!" Natsu yelled.
"Why? Are you afraid of boats, Natsu?" Nightcrawler asked innocently.
"No, it's because Natsu gets super motion-sickness. Didn't he tell you?" Happy asked.
"No. I didn't because it's embarrassing!" Natsu yelled, which made Happy hide behind Lucy in fear.
"There's nothing to be embarrassed of Natsu. Everyone has their faults." Nightcrawler said comfortingly.
"Thanks Kurt, but it still doesn't change anything." Natsu said despairingly.
"Sometimes, we all need to do things we're uncomfortable with. The only thing we can do is just steer into the skid and hope for the best." Nightcrawler warmly said.
"Okay, let's find a boat." Natsu said, much more composed, but still looking queasy at the shipyard.
"Hold it! There's one really important thing we have to do before we get on a boat!" Lucy yelled seriously.
"Oh geez, you should've used the bathroom before you came with us." Happy said.
"No! It's about Kurt." Lucy said, unaware of the smile Nightcrawler now had for her using his real name.
"What about me?" Nightcrawler asked innocently.
"You need new clothes!" Lucy said in a rather giddy tone.
The sudden proclamation had caused the boys to fall over in exasperation. They quickly composed themselves and wiped the dirt from their clothes, or in Happy's case, fur.
"That's the really important thing we have to do?" Natsu asked incredulously.
"I'm guessing this has something to do with my appearance doesn't it?" Nightcrawler said with a sad sigh.
"Sorry Kurt, but we can't have you scaring away potential boaters. You understand, right?" Lucy said as gently as she could.
"I get it. So, where's the closest clothing store?" Nightcrawler asked eagerly.
Hargeon Docks 10:03 AM
After getting some new clothes, Nightcrawler and his amazing wizard friends, set off to find someone to take them to Galuna Island. Nightcrawler was now wearing a red hoodie, which fortunately concealed most of his face and blue jeans, with a hole for his tail. His tail had managed to pass off as a belt, much to his relief. Unfortunately, he was barefoot since none of the shoes could fit him, but they remedied that problem by staying close together, making sure no one saw his three-toed feet. His three-finger hands were safely tucked away in the pockets of his red hoodie. The store clerk had generously given the clothes to him for free out of fear; much to Nightcrawler's chagrin.
Unfortunately, their mission had apparently reached a dead end. They talked to every boater, but they instantly bailed when they mentioned Galuna Island. Their hope was dwindling as they came to a boater with a brown moustache and a bandana over his head. He was strangely wearing a light brown cloak that concealed most of his body.
"Galuna Island?" he asked after hearing their request, "Sorry kids, but not even pirates would go there."
"Apparently, Natsu's plan is the best; looks like we're swimming after all." Nightcrawler begrudgingly admitted, much to Natsu's happiness.
"We're not swimming, guys!" Lucy yelled incredulously.
"Hey, wait. Didn't you mention that you can teleport?" Happy asked Nightcrawler, referring to the conversation they had on the way to Hargeon.
"Yes Happy, but the most I have ever gone is two miles, and that's by myself. Not knowing where the island is also a problem because we could teleport all over Earth-Land and never find it." Nightcrawler bluntly explained.
"I found you!" a familiar voice said from behind the group, scaring them. The man behind them was none other than Gray, with a very pissed off look focused on Nightcrawler.
"What are you doing here!?" Natsu angrily demanded.
"Gramps found out about your stupid scheme and told me to bring you back." Gray answered, never taking his eyes off Nightcrawler.
"Why? We aren't in danger yet." Natsu whined like a child.
"If you and Demon Boy come back, you guys might not get kicked out of the guild." Gray said, still angrily looking at Nightcrawler.
"Kicked out of Fairy Tail!?" Lucy cried out.
The sudden news of their possible expulsion made Nightcrawler's stomach churn. Makarov had told him the night he came here that Fairy Tail was like family. The equivalent in a family would be getting disowned.
"Guys, if this is going to get you in trouble, you should probably head back. I'll go to Galuna Island, alone." Nightcrawler said stoically.
"What?!" they all cried out, even Gray.
"Kurt, you can't be serious! You'll get yourself killed!" Natsu yelled concernedly.
"I don't care. These people have been suffering for too long. Even the angels need a sharp sword." Nightcrawler replied.
"Yeah right. You just want to go there and make everything worse! That is all your filthy kind is good for!" Gray angrily accused.
"There's no way in hell I'm letting you go alone. We're all going on this S-Class quest!" Natsu determinedly shouted.
"You're out of your league Demon Boy," Gray argued, then his face turned white with fear, "When Erza finds out about this, she's going to be so mad…"
Nightcrawler had noticed that Natsu had now broken into an uncontrollable sweat at the thought of an angry Erza. Nightcrawler had remembered that Happy told him that Erza was the strongest woman in Fairy Tail and that she was willing to get into fights, which was bad news since S-Class wizards are strong enough to destroy buildings.
Nightcrawler had lost his train of thought when Happy flew onto Gray's shoulder. "Help me, Gray; I didn't want to go along with this, but they forced me!"
"You little liar!" Lucy yelled incredulously.
"I'm going to prove myself, so either get on board, or get out of the way!" Natsu argued.
"Makarov told me to bring you guys back," Gray said, "And I'll drag you guys back to the guild in wheelchairs if I have to!" a spiked ball of ice grew out of Gray's hand, "I don't mind hurting you, but I'm going to enjoy beating the crap out of that demon!"
"I'd like to see you try!" Natsu said as his fist had become engulfed in flames.
"Pardon my intrusion, but you children wouldn't happen to be wizards? Did you come to lift the curse on Galuna Island?" the man interrupted, drawing all of their attention to him.
"Yep!" Natsu replied enthusiastically with Nightcrawler giving a simple nod.
"Umm… yes?" Lucy answered, less sure of herself.
"Not going to happen!" Gray yelled incredulously.
"Get in." the man said, gesturing to his boat.
"No way!" Gray moved to grab Nightcrawler, but Natsu intervened and punched Gray in his lower abdomen, knocking the wind out of him and stunning him. Natsu took the opportunity to get a coil of rope from his backpack and quickly tied up the incapacitated Gray.
"Okay, let's go!" Natsu yelled happily as he threw an unwilling Gray on the boat.
"Uh, Natsu, thanks for the save, but did you have to tie him up?" Nightcrawler asked.
"We can't risk him going back to the guild until we finish the job. Besides, if Gray comes back empty-handed, they'll send Erza and we're dead!" Natsu said.
The threat of Erza had made Lucy and Happy jump into the boat, with Nightcrawler following, but still pondering on exactly why Erza had frightened them so much.
Open Waters 10:00 PM
The first few minutes of the boat ride had been uneventful and spent in uncomfortable silence. Gray had shortly recovered, but his hands were tied up by Natsu so that he couldn't use his magic. Natsu had been blowing chunks the entire time over the edge of the boat. Lucy was looking rather uncomfortable and crossing her legs together. Happy was comforting Natsu by patting him on the back.
Finally, Nightcrawler couldn't take the silence anymore. "Hey, Happy, I know that Erza frightens you and everyone else, but why? What sort of magic does she use?"
"She uses a type of magic called Re-quip, and she can use that magic to swap out her weapons and armor from a pocket dimension. A lot of wizards can do it with weapons or clothes, but Erza is the only one who can use it for her armor too. All of her armor has some sort of incredible magic ability for almost any situation!" Happy explained
'Almost like me, except I can only pass through my pocket dimension.' Nightcrawler thought to himself. He then later noticed that Happy reminded him of those little versions of him he'd encountered a few months before he arrived in this universe.
'No wonder why I like this cat.' Nightcrawler happily thought to himself.
The rest of the time was devoted to small talk, with Nightcrawler noticing that the captain hadn't stopped looking at him since he got on board. This caused Nightcrawler to look away more, only to still feel the captain's gaze burn through his very soul.
'Why is he staring at me? Is it possible that he thinks I'm a demon too?" Nightcrawler asked himself.
Nightcrawler then noticed Lucy fidgeting in her seat with her hands on the crotch of her jean skirt. He then remembered that Lucy hadn't relieved herself, unlike the rest of them who simply relieved themselves in the ocean. She must've been holding it in and waiting for Galuna Island before she relieved herself. However, Nightcrawler couldn't bear to see her in so much pain and gently approached her, before taking the seat on her right.
"Hey, do you need to relieve yourself?" Nightcrawler asked.
Ordinarily, Lucy would've reprimanded him for this, but her bladder had swelled up to the size of a beach ball. The pain was so great that she could only respond with a nod and a hearty blush on her cheeks. She looked like she was going to cry any minute.
"I know that you want to wait for a toilet, but you look like you're going to pop any second, so please relieve yourself. I'll make sure no one looks at you." Nightcrawler warmly said.
In desperation, Lucy quickly agreed with a nod and shakily removed her pink panties before crouching down on the side of the boat, making sure that everyone was looking away, with the exception of Natsu who was too busy vomiting to notice. As soon as the check was done, Lucy released an enormous amount of urine into the ocean.
Lucy felt an orgasmic relief as she emptied the humongous stream from her rock-hard bladder. She actually felt good as she released her golden waters, adding to her embarrassment of relieving herself in front of boys. Finally, the stream ended and she cleaned herself up using the emergency toilet paper she kept in her back pocket before pulling up her panties and telling them it was okay to look again.
At long last, they spotted an island in the distance, but it didn't look that impressive.
"So, why are you helping us?" Gray said to the captain.
"My name is Bobo, and I was once a citizen of Galuna Island." The man explained.
"Why, what happened?" Nightcrawler asked.
"I had to flee; I couldn't take it anymore. I should warn you, suffering befalls anyone who sets foot on Galuna Island, unless you wizards can lift the curse." Bobo said, never looking up.
As if right on cue, Bobo had lifted his cloak to reveal his left arm. It appeared to be covered in some sort of exoskeleton, and it was clearly not human.
"This is the curse of a demon." Bobo elaborated.
"I bet you know something about it, don't you?!" Gray said, referring to Nightcrawler.
"We're almost there." Bobo said, distracting them from their conversation.
As they got closer, they had seen the island glowing an eerie purple. Something about the glow unnerved Nightcrawler to no end. However, Lucy was the one who asked the question on everyone else's mind.
"Guys, why is the island glowing?"
Wanting to ask Bobo, Nightcrawler turned to find him, only to ask a very unsettling question himself.
"Uh, guys, did anyone see Bobo leave?"
They had looked all over the boat and over the edge, but it was as if the man had vanished out of thin air!
"Does anyone else hear that noise?" Lucy fearfully asked. Nightcrawler's enhanced senses allowed him to hear something akin to flowing water, but it was different than the ocean water. It was as if water was flowing away.
"Look out!" Gray shouted. The others turned to see, to their shock, a massive tidal wave heading straight for them!
"Everybody, take my hands! I'll teleport us to the island!" Nightcrawler bravely declared.
Not wanting to take their chances with the wave, everyone, even Gray, had grabbed onto Nightcrawler and they disappeared in a puff of blue smoke as the wave took their boat.
Galuna Island Shore 3:00 PM
In Nightcrawler's haste, he'd accidently transported them a few meters off the ground, causing them to crash painfully on the island and not awaken until late in the afternoon. Nightcrawler was the first one to gain consciousness.
"Is everyone alright?" Nightcrawler asked worriedly.
"Yeah, I think we're fine." Lucy answered for all of them as they slowly regained consciousness.
Nightcrawler sighed in relief that his friends, and Gray, were all safe. He didn't want to lose them, even Gray.
"Thank you for saving us Kurt. We got lucky." Lucy said with a smile.
"I wouldn't call it lucky that we're marooned on a cursed island because of Demon Boy." Gray commented, massaging his newly freed wrists.
"Would you knock it off already? Now come on! We've got exploring to do!" Natsu cheered as he pointed to the nearby jungle.
"Hold up!" Gray said with a serious expression, causing them all to look at him.
"Hey, dummkopf. In case you haven't noticed our boat is destroyed. If you want to bring us back, you're going to need another one." Nightcrawler said.
"I know, and that's why I'm coming with you." Gray said.
"Really?" Natsu asked, dumbfounded by Gray's sudden change of heart.
"Hey, I can't let you and Lucy reach S-Class before me. Besides, the guild would be boring without you. Sure, Makarov might be mad at us, but if we pull this off, he won't be mad for long." Gray said, smiling.
"So, what about me?" Nightcrawler asked, timidly.
"I'm still on the fence with you, but you're pretty ballsy for a demon, so I won't try to kill you; for now" Gray said, neutrally.
"Well then, let's go!" Nightcrawler cheered.
AN: Well, this is the longest chapter I've had to write for X-Tail so far, but it was worth it. So, now they're on Galuna Island, and things are going to change between Gray and Nightcrawler by the end of this arc. Also, the German translations in order are 1. Cats can fly? And 2. Idiot.
So, rate and review, and I'll be back with an update as soon as I can. Also, bonus points for any Marvel fans that can guess who Nightcrawler was referring to. That reference was just for fun, but I may add them later on. Minor editing done.
Next time- Ch 4: Galuna Island Part 2
