So, I'm having a contest to see which ships you guys want for this story. Laxus and Lucy are already a thing, so now it's just up to you guys. Here's the chapter!

Chapter Three(February 4, X791)

The train ride had took a full day. Elvena was sitting on Laxus's lap, internally laughing at Natsu as he rested his head on Lisanna's lap. Lucy had offered to do the same with Laxus, which he declined, but ended up doing it thirty minutes into the ride. Gray fell asleep, like he usually did on the train, and Erza stared out the widow. It was so boring!

Natsu's face was green as he groaned when the train swayed. Elvena didn't particularly like him, because he reminded her of the man that had come to the house and stepped on her throat. He had pink hair like Natsu, but a long scar down his left eye and dark red eyes. Scary. She scooted closer to Lucy and rested her head on her elbow, putting her hand up to eye level. Setting it on fire, Elvena waved it around as she waited for those words that meant no more boring train.

Now stopping at Haboke Train Station, I repeat, now stopping at Haboke Train Station. Elvena shot up as Natsu ran out the train car. Lucy stood up and picked Elvena up. They walked out the train, the sun beaming down on them. Elvena sheilded her eyes as Lucy continued to walk to the small rental place next to the station. The man at the counter had a brown beard and was staring at Lucy.

"Hi, are there any rental animals that we can use to get to the mountains?" Lucy asked the man. Elvena stared at him unconsciously, wondering what he was thinking. "Yes, we have three werecats, and four horses. How many you need, baby?" He asked. Lucy rolled her eyes.

"I need five. Three werecats and two horses." Lucy said.

"Alright, just put your name here and where you came from, and I'll show you to them." He said, shoving a binder in front of Lucy with three columns. Lucy filled out the names of all of them and the guild. Once she was done, the man showed her to a stable with wolf looking lions, and two chestnut horses.

"You know," the guy said, leaning against one of the stables. "When you come back, you wanna ditch this place and go somewhere?" He asked. Elvena scrunched up her nose. "Um, no thanks." Lucy said. She set Elvena down and held her hand as they walked back to their team, the man leading all five animals back with a scowl on his face. "So, who wants the horses and who wants the werecats?" Lucy asked. Natsu ran over to one of the werecats, patting it's back. "I want this one!" He yelled, jumping on it's back. Lisanna giggled and hopped on the back of the werecat Natsu was on, wrapping her arms around his waist. Lucy chocked back a giggle seeing the two. They would make a good couple. (A/N: I don't ship NaLi, but it goes along with the plot.)

Erza sat on the back of one of the chestnut horses. Elvena twisted her hand out of Lucy's hold and ran up to the werecat. It sniffed her hair and nuzzled it's face into her cheek. And airy giggle came from Elvena as she rubbed its neck. Lucy picked her up and placed her in the front of it. Lucy hopped in back of her and held onto the scruff of it's neck, keeping Elvena locked in her arms.

Laxus got on the third werecat. "Well, lets get going." Natsu said, leading his werecat into the forest. They followed behind. For a while, nothing seemed to be strange in the woods, and the mountains were only a few more miles into the forest. Elvena looked at all the plants and animals they walked past while on their way. It was so peaceful. That was until Natsu stopped.

"What's wrong?" Lisanna asked. Natsu sniffed the air. "Something's here." He said. Laxus looked around him, seeing a flash of black speed toward Lucy and Elvena. Before he could warn them, Elvena lifted up her hands, vines encasing into a sort of protective barrier around them. The black figure sped around, trying to find a way in. "What the hell is that?" Gray whispered, trying not to make the figure go after them. "I don't know what the hell that is, but we need to get Luce out of there." Natsu stated. Erza requipped a sword into her hand, hopping off her horse. Elvena clung tight to Lucy as she felt the figure scratching at the vines, trying to find a way in. An airy whimper left her lips as she snuggled closer to Lucy. Lucy rubbed Elvena's head, calming her as she looked through the vines. It had no shadow. Everything had a shadow. What didn't have a shadow? Lucy thought for a moment, furrowing her eyebrows. Oh, an illusion! Illusions never had shadows since they weren't real!

"Guys, it's an illusion!" Lucy yelled. Laxus shot his hand out at the figure, lighting erupting from his hand, it striking the figure in it's chest. The figure slowly disappeared in a fog of black. Elvena slowly pulled the vines back into the ground, looking around to see if anything else scary was coming.

"Where do you think it came from?" Erza asked.

"The pyramid, probably. Maybe it's trying to protect the book." Lucy suggested, jumping off the werecat and helping Elvena off as she tried to calm the frightened werecat. Suddenly, the ground began to shake, and the horses ran off, as well as the werecats. The ground fell from underneath them as Lisanna and Lucy screamed. Lisanna, Lucy and Elvena slid down a sort of hole while everyone else fell straight down. When they reached the end of the whole, Elvena held onto the edge, pushed off and made a flatform from the side of the wall. Lisanna slid to the edge of the platform, gripping onto it so she wouldn't fall. Lucy scrambled over to her and helped her up.

"You okay?" Lucy asked, pulling Lisanna up. Lisanna nodded her head, bushing dirt off her shirt. Elvena looked down at the seemingly never ending abyss. Putting her hand out, she set it on fire and shot it downward. Lighting the way down, Elvena used all her strength to push the platform down. She was still young, so having two other people on the platform made it difficult. Once the platform hit the ground, the room they were in could be seen more clearly.

"Natsu! Erza! Laxus! Where are you guys?!" Lucy yelled. Just an echo of her voice. Elvena tried to stand, but fell to the floor. Lisanna helped her up, holding her hand so she wouldn't fall again. "Guys, where are you!" Lisanna yelled. Elvena bent down and looked at the floor, brushing her hand over it. Something white was glowing just below it. A symbol of some sort, a triangle with an eye, sparkled under the dirt.

As soon as Elvena's hand came in contact with the symbol, the ground opened up. "Not again!" Lucy screamed as they fell.

Things weren't as going well with the other group either. They had fallen straight into a pool of murky water, and Natsu had gotten bit by a crocodile. Laxus was laughing his ass off while Natsu was screaming, trying to get it off of his arm. After that, they started walking down a tunnel near where they fell down, that wasn't filled with water.

Just as Laxus was about to walk ahead, two loud shrieks were heard and three bodies were piled on top of him. He fell to the floor, grunting under the weight. "Oh, Laxus, thank god!" It was Lucy's voice. Elvena stood up, stepping on Laxus's head to get to the ground, causing his face to smash into the dirt floor. Lisanna climbed off his back, and so did Lucy. He stood up, wiping the dirt off his shirt, coat and pants, growling at the girls. "We fell down two holes already." Lisanna stated.

"Really? Are you guys okay?" Natsu asked. Lucy nodded, and so did Lisanna. Unlike them, Elvena felt horrible. Her stomach hurt, her arms hurt, and she felt so tired. She started drifting off while standing up, stumbling back a little. "Aw, Ellie, are you tired?" Lucy asked. Elevena nodded, blinking slowly. She felt herself being lifted up, and her head rested on a strong shoulder. Laxus had picked her up. She started to close her eyes, and let herself fall asleep. "Awwww." Lisanna cooed. Laxus glared at her. "We should get going. I have a feeling that this place is more dangerous than it said on the request." Erza stated.

"What did the job say, anyway?" Lucy asked. Natsu handed her the request. She read it, her eyebrows raising.

There is a pyramid in the Haboke Mountain containing an artifact that is needed by the Magic Council.

We need at least one dragon slayer, because there are wyverns in the cave, as well as three others, maybe more.

Requester: Magic Council

PS: The pyramid is known to be cursed, so be aware.

"So, why in the hell sid you choose this out of everything else?" Lucy asked.

"Look at the reward!" Lisanna exclaimed.

Reward: 14,000,000 jewel

"Erza decided that it was a good idea so we could finish rebuilding the guild. It's still kind of messed up, and that much money can have it repaired in no time. And Master forced us to go on it for 'team bonding,' whatever the hell that meant." Gray explained. Lucy shook her head, mumbling something under her breath. Erza always tried to get the team to bond ever since Lucy left, but Gray was starting to drift off on his own. Erza just wanted her team back, she guessed.

"Let's get going." Lucy said, walking ahead of the others. They followed behind her. Everyone was silent for a while, not knowing what to talk about. All until a loud, ear piercing cry ripped through the cave. Elvena was startled awake and almost fell odd Laxus if he hadn't caught her.

"Guys, I think we just found a wyvern!" Natsu yelled over the cry.

"What makes you think that?!" Gray yelled. Natsu pointed to the high rock ceiling. Three shining objects could be seen. Before anyone could react, all three dropped down to reveal three wyverns. Now, wyverns are like dragons, but they four legs. Their wings are their front two, and they have barbed tails. Elvena stared at one of them. It was blue, with a red belly and a white barbed tail. It had its teeth bared and was about to pounce. Lucy pulled out Leo's key. He appeared in front of her, ready to fight.

Elvena hopped off Laxus's shoulder and crouched down. Rubbing her hand on the stone floor, ripples in the stone headed toward the wyvern. It roared and stepped back as the ripples came closer. Once the ripples were gone, the wyverns were at least fifteen feet away from them. Laxus shot a bolt of lighting at the one that was red with a white belly and a blue barbed tail. All of them at least had the color of the other. The blue ones stomach started glowing as it shot fire out of its mouth. Natsu cheered and sucked the fire up.

"Fire Dragons Roar!" He chanted, sending the roar at the blue one. It hit it under the belly, and it roared in agony. Leo was fighting the last one, which was white with a blue belly and a red barbed tail. It hissed, and slammed its tail into Leo's chest. He flew back and disappeared in a puff of smoke. Lucy grit her teeth and pulled out her whip. "If you want a job done," she wrapped the whip around the white ones neck and pulled. "You gotta do it yourself!" When it snapped at her, she jumped and twisted, kicking it in the snout. Sending magic through the whip, it glowed and burned the wyverns neck. It whimpered as Lucy pulled it taught and a loud snap was heard. It fell and didn't get up.

Erza was occupied trying to help Natsu beat the blue one. It was the hardest one to beat. Then, another roar shook the cave they were in. From above, a golden wyvern, no, it wasn't a wyvern, it looked like a dragon, dropped and latched its jaw onto the wyvern's neck, snapping it. The red wyvern hissed and flew off. The golden dragon roared as it flew off. Gray was about to attack the dragon until Lucy stopped him. "Wait, it just helped us." Lucy said. She walked up to the dragon and stuck her hand out. The dragon slowly made it's way to Lucy and sniffed her hand. It licked her hand and placed it's head on hers.

You can pass. It said.

"You can talk?" Natsu asked. The dragon nodded.

I am one of the guardians of this pyramid. This is the main hall to get to it. Those damn wyverns were always bothering me. I don't even know how they got in here. It stated. She looked at Laxus, then at Natsu, then at Elvena. My name is Thea. I'm the dragon guardian. I know that there is a celestial mage here. Thea said. Lucy stepped forward. "That's me." She said. Thea picked at one of the scales on her forearm and gave it to Lucy. For a minute, Lucy didn't know what to do until Thea blew smoke on it. It slowly started to mold into something shaped like a key.

That is they key to the pyramid. If you guys make it out, I would like to give the celestial mage a key. She said.

"But why can't you give it to me now?" Lucy asked. Thea shook her head. Celestial keys are very valuable and lightweight, but this specific key isn't. It's more of a weapon to me. I will not give it to you until I know you are ready, and that's when you come out of the pyramid. Thea said.

She flew back up to the ceiling and molded into it, disappearing. Elvena looked up and smiled. Laxus picked her up again and they walked down the hall once more.

"What do you mean they took her on a mission? Who takes an injured six year old on a mission?!" Master yelled. Levy sweatdropped.

"Master, Bunny Girl and Laxus are there, and even Laxus isn't dumb enough to let that girl out of his sight." Gajeel said. Master sighed and rubbed his temple. "As long as nothing is destroyed, there is no problem. I just spoke with the Magic Council, and they said that if she wasn't controlled, they would take her out of our hands. And I'm not letting that happen, and neither are any of you. Now get back to wat you were doing." And with that, Makarov disappeared into his office.

"Why are we going through such a fuss for one girl?" Macao asked. Wakaba shrugged. "Maybe she's got something we don't know about." He suggested.

"Maybe."

Elvena looked around the cave for the second time, hearing light tapping against something. Laxus was still holding her as they walked behind the group. For the third time, Elvena heard the tapping. Looking around, she did a double take when she saw something really cute sitting in the corner. It was a kitten with brown fur and blue eyes. Elvena's eyes widened as she hopped off Laxus and ran over to it. Picking it up, she cuddled it. It purred. Lisanna walked over to her. "Aw, Lucy look, she found a kitten!" Lisanna cooed, scratching behind the kittens ear. The kitten hissed and swiped at Lisanna. Lisanna jumped back.

"Ha, it doesn't like you." Gray laughed. Lisanna sent a glare at him. The kitten jumped from Elvena's arms and sat down in front of her.

"How do you think it got in here, anyway?" Erza asked, staring at the kitten. Both Natsu and Laxus were glancing at the kitten funny. Suddenly, Natsu's nose twitched. "Guys, get awa-" Before he could finish, the kitten started glowing. Elvena backed away from it, running to Lucy.

The kitten grew in size and turned into some type of monster. It roared loudly as everyone got a good look at it. It was large, really large, with only two legs, both in the front, a shredded body in the back. It's teeth were long and sharp, it's claws that way, too.

"Why did I agree to come with you guys?!" Lucy yelled, pushing Elvena behind her as she pulled her whip from her hip. The things she'd do for friends. The monster rushed at Lucy first, which caught her off guard. Elvena shot her hand out, causing the monster to be encased in water. She put her hand in a fist, causing the water to boil. But it wasn't strong enough. The monster was breaking out of it.

"Well don't just stand there, help her out!" Erza yelled, requipping into her Heavens Wheel armor and piercing the monster so it would stay down. Lucy nodded and wrapped her whip around it's neck, letting magic pulse through it as the monster roared in agony. Elvena pushed herself forward, making stone spikes rise from the ground. The water bubble had disappeared. Laxus's body was surrounded by lighting as he shot it directly at the monster. It roared in pain as it's tounge hung out it's mouth, it's eyes dull.

When the roaring stopped echoing off the walls, Elvena got from behind Lucy. Before anyone could stop her, she had ran past Erza and Natsu and stood in front of the nearly dead monster. It was panting, eyes full of pain, lighting still lingering on it's skin. Elvena put her hand out, thinking that she could help it. She didn't like seeing others upset or hurt. It made her feel bad. The monster didn't do anything, just let Elvena put her hand on it's head. It slowly transformed back to the small kitten, blood seeping through it's fur. Suddenly the cave started to shake. The wall in front of Elvena opened. Laxus grabbed Elvena and pulled her into his arms.

"The door to the pyramid." Lucy whispered, walking forward and running her hand along the designs of the door. A small keyhole was in the middle of it. She took the key from her palm and stuck it in the keyhole. The key glowed as it was sucked into the keyhole. Lucy watched as the door opened, and a dark room appeared. Blue fire lined the walls as a glowing light from the inside shine brightly.

"So someone has finally come, I see. Well, this'll be fun." A deep voice said, his words bouncing off the walls.

Did you like? I still need to edit chapter One. Anyway, don't forget to favorite and review. I don't have a poll for the ships in my other stories, but this one will. Other than Laxus and Lucy, who do you want to be together?

Zyn, out!
