H! Aika here! sorry for the boring chapter! still, hope you like it! Hey, whats Gray and Natsu doing here?
Gray- how come you made me so perverted?
Aika- sorry, but you are a- hey wait how did you read my chapter?!
Natsu- How come I have such a small part?!
Lucy- You idiots shouldn't snoop into other people's manuscripts! Its bad manners.
Aika- Lucy too? At least there's some one sane.
Erza- I'm perfectly sane. Serve's you idiots right for smashing my cake.
Gray- Wasn't that in the story?
Aika- E- E - erza... nice to meet you too...
Lucy- Shouldn't Aika be getting on with the story?
Natsu- Yeah! I wanna read the rest of it! I didn't get to read it all, because of Gray snatching it away from me. Oh yeah, and by the way, Aika doesn't own anything but the characters Jaden and Haelya.
Gray- So don't sue her! And remember to r and r!
Aika- Thanks guys! Now, on to the chapter!
"Are you there, Haelya?" asked Lucy. She could hear someone shifting their feet. "Yeah. I'm gonna hold your hand, so don't freak out," replied Haelya as she reached for Lucy's hand. "Don't move!" squeaked Luce. She looked at Haelya. She seemed shaken. Suddenly a misty figure came into view and illuminated everything very faintly. The two girls could see the ghostly figure of a girl. She opened her mouth and spoke.
'8 shall come from the fairy's end,
To find the giant crystal-gem of old.
Of which the light, flame, and ice come to mend,
Within the three devils to be encased in cold.
Beware of your friendship, love and honour, and,
The devils that armour cannot defeat or perceive.
To come back to earthland,
By the warning only the heavens shall receive.'
The figure disappeared along with the darkness. Lucy got her voice back and said, " What was- What happened?" She asked as she saw Haelya shaking and trembling terribly. She said something stutteringly. "Th- th – th – was m-m-my mother." She was pointing shakily at the place where the cold and distant figure was a few moments earlier. Lucy put a hand over Haelya's shoulders. "Its over now," She soothed. "We should go back to the guild now and tell them about this." The two girls walked away from Karen Lilica's Grave.
When they reached the guild , Lucy told Erza what happened. The Requip mage nodded and said, "Yes. This must be told to master." Erza went off towards Makarov. Finally Ji-chan came out of his office and announced what had happened. "Listen you brats! Lucy and Haelya have witnessed a prophecy. Haelya, please repeat the prophecy and tell all the details." Haelya repeated the prophecy and said, "Everything went black. Then suddenly, a ghostly figure came into view. The girl was my mother when she was 16." The guild went amok at the last sentence. Master nodded.
Just as he was about to speak, a golden flash of light illuminated the Guild. The light faded and a familiar, orange headed Celestial Spirit was in its place. "Hey guys. What's up?" Loke said. He turned to Lucy and bowed. "My princess. I'm sorry, but you won't be able to call on me or any other spirit as much anymore. The main Lacrima which allows us to go from world to world and use our powers has broken. All the power is seeping out, and it can't absorb any when its broken." Loke shook his head sadly. "No one knows how to fix it with magical power or not. It's magical power is very complex. Our world will be lost to you over the centuries. Well anyways, I just had to give all you beautiful ladies a warning. See ya!" With another flash of golden light, Loke was gone. Some of the girls sighed. Everyone else was silent.
"Well that clears everything up." Said Jaden.
"We know what's happening now." Said Wakaba.
"We need to do something about this," slurred Cana. "It's obvious we're involved."
"Yeah! A Quest!" chimed in Natsu.
"Okay then kids, a quest it is. Laki, did you write down the prophecy?"
"Yes sir!" Laki squeaked. Makarov read the paper Laki handed him silently.
"There needs to be 8 people total. It seems that an ice mage, a fire mage, a light mage, and a celestial mage. Gray, Natsu, Jaden and Lucy need to go." Lucy made one of her famous 'what?!' expressions. Happy saw this and said, "Lucy's making weird faces! I wanna play!" Natsu stuck out his tongue at Happy. "Pay attention to Master, Natsu, Happy," said Erza. Natsu shivered. " We need four more people," continued Makarov. " I wish Erza, Haelya, Wendy and Gajeel to go as well." The guild started babbling with questions.
"When will we go, Ji-chan?" asked Erza.
"How will we go?" asked Gray.
"That's easy you idiot! Oof -" said Natsu as he got punched by Gray. "I'm not an idiot!" Natsu kicked him in retaliation. "Fine then, Stripper!" A small scuffle broke out.
"Popsicle!"
"Hot head!"
"Mr Underwear!" Natsu was waving something dark blue in the air. "I got your underwear!" Gray turned red and said "HEY! Give it back!"
"Don't ask me for extra underwear like last time Gray!" shouted Lucy. Gray didn't hear what Lucy said and right then asked Lucy, "Do you have any extra underwear, Lucy?" Lucy hit him very hard. "You baka! Didn't I ask you not to ask me for underwear?" Gray rubbed his head. "Ouch, what was that for?" Gray went back to fighting Natsu. Erza, who had been eating cake, suddenly got up. Right then, Natsu flew with a thud into her cake.
The whole guild fell silent at the look on Erza's face. And then, Erza exploded.
"YOU BAKA'S! MY CAKE! IT WAS A PERFECTLY GOOD ONE!" She kicked Gray and Natsu all the way to the door. "GO GET ME SOME MORE!" Everyone started laughing. Gray and Natsu ran past Cana, who got up from drinking her beer and shouted, "At least wear some underwear when you go out, Gray!" after his retreating figure. Gray ran back into the guild, grabbed some clothes and ran out again for his life. So much for the quest, thought Jaden.
So, how was it?
