Mayhem's POV:

This is getting SO old…. How many times do I have to take care of giants? Doesn't ANYONE else know how? They could read a book once and while. Oh while, I really don't blame Natsu, Lucy, and Loki. From what I here, a Cyclops has never really graced these parts. They're lucky I happened to pass by. I am not so lucky though.

I peeled myself away from the decimated tree I was launched into by the Cyclops and looked. He was swinging his club at Lucy. I snarled and clapped my hands together, a fissure appeared in the earth right under Lucy's feet and she fell in, the club sailing right over it. I grinned in triumph and threw another lightning bolt at the Cyclops. "Hey ugly! Over here!" I shouted, jumping up and down and waving my arms around. He looked over at me and rage filled his one eye, he roared in anger and began lumbering over to me, swinging his club around. Do ALL of these things have to be stupid? Not that I'm complaining, it makes it much easier to take them down.

I tapped my arm, where Wrath was sleeping, "Buddy. I know that you wanted you're sleep, but I could REALLY use your help right about now." I heard him hiss and he moved, he popped out of my jacket grumbling, "You can't do anything on your own can you?" He had a deep voice that rang out like an echo. I laughed, "Not really." I pointed to the Cyclops, "Do you think you could light it's eye on fire?" He grumbled again, his eyes getting wider as he took it in.

He bared his fangs and hissed, "Why can't you find something else to fight?! Why can't it be…. A….. A giant butterfly for once!" I laughed, "When do we ever get that lucky?" He looked at me and wryly replied, "Never. But we can still hope right?" I laughed harder and he spread his wings, "I'll be back. Try not to get killed while I'm gone." I saluted, "Yes general Wrath sir!" Once he flew off, I sprinted to where Lucy was.

I crouched near the hole and called out, "Lucy? You ok down there?" Faintly her replied came, "Yeah, I think so. What happened?" I smirked, "Well, I can create earthquakes. I created one underneath you so that you missed the club aimed to take your head off." She was silent for a moment before replying, "Thanks." I grinned and held down my hand, "No problem. Come on, we're missing the fun." I felt her hand close in mine and I tugged her out, the moment she was out, the hole closed.

She looked very dirty, but not any more hurt than when I first met her. "Thanks Mayhem." She said with a smile, I smiled back and tackled her. An arrow that was meant for her struck me instead, I gasped in pain but leapt to my feet.

Lucy came after, her hand covering her mouth. "Your shoulder!" Then she looked to where it had come from and she made a sound like a strangled scream, "My friends!" I looked around, ignoring the pain and the blood oozing down my shoulder. Natsu was being overwhelmed in one end, Happy was tangled in a tree, unconscious, a boy with black hair was being held at sword point, and a girl with red hair was lying battered on the ground with men beginning to surrounding her. Wrath was taking care of the Cyclops, so if I passed out, it wouldn't be that bad.

So I spread out my hands and said, "Lucy, whatever happens, do not move from that spot next to me until it's over alright?" She nodded, "What are you going to do?" I grinned grimly, "I'm going to pass out because of my own stupidity." Then I brought my hands together and the sound of thunder rang out across the clearing and clouds gathered at a fast pace overhead. Then lightning raced across the plain, striking only the people who weren't Lucy's friends. The people started flying away from the voltage power. Then the wind picked up around me and I spread my hands, making circular motions with them until twin hurricanes appeared next to me, I sent them out across the meadow. They picked up people and hurled them in different directions. Then, barriers formed next to Lucy's friends and an inferno began from me and raced across the plain.

The goons smarted up and began to run, I allowed them to before directing the inferno and the lightning to the Cyclops still raging across the grounds. The inferno surrounded him and the lightning began to zap into it, feeding the fire. Finally, I stopped the flow of magic and fell to my knees. The Cyclops was gone, the only thing left was ash.

I breathed out the breath I was holding and said, "Go ahead Lucy, go check on your friends." She raced away, checking on the girl with red hair first. Once the red haired girl stood up, she raced over to Natsu and shook him. When he sat up, she raced to the boy with black hair. He took a little more convincing to get up, but he finally did. Then, she ran to the tree where Happy was still tangled in and gently took him down, cradling him in her arms.

Just as my vision started to get fuzzy, I felt Wrath slithering up my side and I faintly heard him say, "You can't follow the simplest of instruction can you?" I grinned, I felt blood dripping out of my mouth but I really didn't care, and replied, "You know me. I don't like following orders." I felt his claws gently poking the arrow wound and I winced, "Sorry. But I think we'll need a healer for this one. I won't be able to do it alone." I nodded, "Alright."

I looked up to see Lucy and Natsu running at me with the other two on their heels. Lucy kneeled in front of me and put her hand lightly on my shoulder, "Mayhem? Are you alright?" I tried to speak, but no words came out. Instead, I slumped forward, being caught by strong arms, and the world faded away.
