Web Valley
The gang arrived at a canyon instead of Magnolia. Lucy had woken up during their walk much to everyone's relief. She was surprised to find herself being carried on Natsu's back and asked the boy to put her down but he flat out refused to do so much to her dismay. They argued for a while before she finally gave in and allowed the fire dragon slayer to carry her on his back making him grin in victory.
Right now they were staring down at a canyon where Happy may or may not have led them to.
Happy looked down seeing just how high up they are.
Lucy sighed, "Happy, please tell me you didn't get us lost. You said that if we went this way it would lead us to Magnolia."
"Sorry Lucy, but you have to admit this is the first time I've gotten us lost." Happy said.
"First time or not lets try not to make this a habit okay?" she sighed again.
"Man I want some food." Natsu complained.
Gray glared at him, "We all do! Talking about it just makes us hungrier."
Natsu got in his face, "I can't help it if I'm hungry jerk!"
"No but you could stop running your mouth can't you?!" Gray growled.
"Don't argue while I'm sill on your back." Lucy commented.
"Listen up!" Makarov interrupted, "We need some food…"
"Yeah! We know!" they yelled.
"Enough." Erza said before her stomach started growling.
They all looked at her.
"Your stomach's trying to tell ya something, isn't it?" Natsu asked.
Erza looked away, "No it's not your hearing things."
"Uh yeah, real convincing Erza." Gray said.
Happy looked down with a happy expression on his face.
"What're you excited about?" Natsu questioned.
"Down there! Look Natsu! Look!" Happy said pointing downward.
They all looked down at the canyon and saw what looked to be flying fish.
"Those are wing fish! They're a legendary delicacy, and they're supper yummy from what I hear!" Happy explained.
"A legendary delicacy?" Gray questioned.
"Wing fish huh?" Erza said with her eyes closed.
Natsu grinned, "Sounds good to me."
Makarov put a hand on Happy's shoulder, "Well done Happy, you make this old man very proud."
"Um, guys? Your stomachs are growling." Lucy sweat-dropped before she heard her own stomach begin to growl.
Gray smirked, "You were saying?"
"Shut up Gray." She mumbled her cheeks turning pink.
"Now time to fish." Happy said bringing out a fishing rod from out of nowhere. Soon they all had fishing rods in their hands and started fishing right along with Happy.
"Aw come on ya stupid fish. Just shut up and let me eat ya." Natsu whined.
"We've gotta fish harder guys!" Happy yelled in determination.
Lucy looked down at the fish, "I don't know are you sure these things really taste that good?"
"Anything edible will do." Erza told her.
"Huh? I didn't realize you were that hungry." Lucy commented.
"Your going in my belly! Right now! Ya hear?!" Happy yelled, "Happy's gonna eat you fish!"
But after a few minutes, "Whatever I give up."
"Well that was fast. Giving up already Happy?" Lucy asked.
He looked down, "But I couldn't catch a single fish…"
She pat him on the head, "Don't look so down. You really wanna eat one don't you? Don't give up just yet."
Happy looked up at her and nodded, "Thanks Lucy."
She smiled, "Your welcome."
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
After what felt like forever they finally managed to catch one, even though it was pretty small.
Lucy sighed, "Well that was harder than it was supposed to be."
"All that trouble just for one fish." Erza said.
Natsu lit the fish on fire then dispelled it when it was cooked properly, "Go ahead and eat it Happy," he said.
"But that wouldn't be fair to you guys would it?" Happy asked.
"Its way too small to split up. If we had a bite we'll just want more." Gray grumbled.
"Hurry up and eat it before we change our minds!" Makarov yelled.
Happy started drooling, "Okay! Don't mind if I do!" he said taking a bite out of the fish.
"That fish must be bringing you a lot of joy if your eating it like that." Lucy observed.
"Gross!" Happy yelled.
She sweat-dropped, "Really? You didn't like it?"
"I hate to say it, but…" Natsu said.
"All that fishing…" Gray said.
"Made me hungrier." Makarov finished.
They kept walking until they saw what looked like a village up ahead.
"A village!" Erza said with relief.
"Houses!" Gray said.
"And that means…there must be." Happy said.
"FOOD!" Natsu yelled running towards the village the others following right behind him. Once they arrived they noticed there was no one here and that it looked like a ghost town.
"There's no one here." Gray said.
"Its awfully quiet for a village." Lucy observed.
"Maybe their taking an afternoon nap or something." Natsu said, "Hey! Anybody here!"
"We're starving like crazy out here! Somebody cook us some dinner!" Happy yelled.
Gray rolled his eyes, "You really think the whole town's taking a nap?"
"Hmmm, well its either that or they all got drunk and passed out." Makarov said.
"We're not at the guild Master." Lucy told him.
He chuckled, "We do love our spirits don't we?"
"I'm gonna go find a kitchen to raid!" Natsu said running away from them.
"Shame on you for even thinking about robbing this place Natsu." Gray told him yet was having the same thoughts as he did.
"Your just mad I thought of it first." Natsu told him.
Natsu knocked on a door, "Hey anyone home? Come one give us something to eat we're dyin!" the door opened. The two boys noticed there was no one inside the house.
"Looks like nobody's here." Gray observed.
Natsu walked inside, "Who cares ? There's food." He picked the piece of bred up smelling it, "Good it still smells fresh. Open wide."
"Not so fast." Erza stopped him.
He growled at her, "What is it now?!"
"There's something strange here." She told him.
"She's right. Who would leave a table full of food just sitting there like that?" Gray questioned, "And if somebody cooked this then where the heck are they now?"
"How should I know? Anyway ready to dig in Happy?" Natsu smiled.
"Aye!" Happy said.
"Natsu!" Erza growled.
"Aye! Yes ma'am?!" he said fearfully.
"We need to investigate the village first. If we've held out this long we can hold on a little-" Erza was cut off by the sound of her stomach.
"Sounds to me like your stomach might have different plans." Lucy told her.
Makarov nodded, "Yes but which one do we listen to?"
"Search the are for mushroom or anything else that looks edible, and don't eat he food in the village okay? While your all doing that Master and I will try to figure out what's going on!" Erza ordered.
"Yeah yeah, I hear ya, lets go Happy, Lucy." Natsu said sarcastically.
"Aye." Happy said.
Lucy then had a thought, "Why mushrooms of all things?"
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Well they did find some mushrooms but they all had suspicious looking colors on them.
"Stupid Erza how am I suppose to get full on a bunch of mushrooms? The food back there looked really good to." Natsu complained then stopped.
Gray stopped too, "Hey mushrooms!"
"I take it back these look tasty!" Natsu grinned.
"I repeat, why mushrooms?" Lucy asked.
"Its obvious isn't it? Natsu's going to eat the poisonous mushroom then something weird will happen to him." Happy explained.
"Oh yeah? In that case I say we sit back and watch it happen. Who knows? Maybe if we're lucky a mushroom will grow out of his head." Lucy smirked.
Happy snickered loving the idea, "Aye."
"Give me some credit you guys, you really think I'd fall for something stupid like that? No way." Natsu said stuffing his face with mushrooms.
"Says the fire breather with five different mushrooms in his mouth." Lucy deadpanned.
With Erza & Makarov
Erza was looking outside trying to find something out of the ordinary but didn't see anything. Going back inside she saw the Master wasn't even looking he was sitting at the table about to eat.
She glared at the old man making him jump, "Master."
"What? I was just investigating Erza." Makarov lied poorly.
With Natsu, Lucy, Gray, and Happy
"These mushrooms aren't that big, but if I keep eating a ton of them I'm bound to get full sooner or later." Natsu said with mushrooms in his mouth.
"Here comes the set up." Happy announced.
"Better start picking faster." Gray said munching on some mushrooms.
Lucy sighed then heard Natsu choking on some mushrooms he swallowed, "You alright?"
"And here comes the gag." Happy announced again.
Just then a pick mushroom with yellow spots on it popped out of his head, "That was scary."
"No, what's scary is the mushroom that just popped out of your head. Even though I said that's what should happen I have this funny feeling that it might have heard me." She sweat-dropped.
Happy looked down disappointed, "I was hoping they'd turn him purple."
"Is that so?" Lucy said.
"Hey, what are you all worked up about?" Gray asked unaware of the fact that he had a blue mushroom sticking out of his head.
"How about you just look at each other and see for yourselves? I'm not in the mood to deal with this." Lucy sighed.
"Why?" they asked looking at each other. Then they screamed out pointing to each other.
"Gyahaha, there's a mushroom on your head!" Natsu laughed.
"Oh yeah?! Well I bet yours is bigger than mine?" Gray laughed.
"Idiots probably don't realize the mushrooms they ate could be toxic or something. But if that were the case then they wouldn't have mushrooms growing out of their heads." Lucy commented.
"Hey droopy eyes what the heck are ya laughing about huh?" Natsu glared.
"Me? What're you laughing about shroom head?" the two started fighting each other a dust cloud forming around them.
Lucy rolled her eyes, "Oh well? If they rather fight than worry about the mushrooms then fine."
With Erza & Makarov
"Did you find anybody?" Erza asked the old man having just finished her attempted search.
"Nope. Not a single soul. The whole place has been deserted." He told her.
"But if that's the case then why do all the houses have freshly cooked food on their tables?" she questioned then looked down and noticed something, "Hold on, what is that?"
Makarov noticed it too and looked around and saw the crack was in a straight line.
"This isn't an ordinary crack in the ground. It must serve some kind of purpose." She said.
With Natsu, Lucy, Gray, and Happy
Natsu and Gray were panting having just got done fighting each other.
Lucy sighed, "Are you guys done yet?"
"Lucy look I found a big one!" Happy said holding a big mushroom in his paws.
Lucy looked at it, "Huh? It is big. But I wouldn't eat it if I were you Happy, there's no telling what it might do to you."
"Oh man wow! Its huge!" Natsu said.
"Yeah its so big we could eat off it for days." Gray said.
"Pass. If you two wanna eat it be my guess." Lucy said crossing her arms.
Happy took a bite out of it making Lucy worry.
"Happy! What did I just say?! Spit that out right now!" she yelled.
"But its so yummy!" he said but then the same thing that happened to Natsu and Gray happened to him too as mushroom popped out if his head.
Lucy face-palmed, "See? This is why I told you not to eat it."
"I guess that happens to everyone who eats these things, huh?" Natsu theorized.
"I wonder if the villagers knew some way around this problem?" Gray questioned.
"Who knows? Maybe they like the way it looks." Natsu said.
"Yeah maybe it'll be in style when we get back to town." Gray chuckled right along with Natsu.
Happy ran away crying, "Its not as funny this time!"
"You were trying to be funny?" she asked.
She then looked to the fire mage, "By the way Natsu your mushroom is growing."
"Uhhh…" Natsu said.
Happy wailed, "How come he always gets the good gags?!"
With Erza & Makarov
Erza and Makarov were observing the line within the village trying to make an understanding of it.
"This looks just like the other seam." Erza observed.
Makarov nodded.
Out of nowhere they heard what sounded like a roar echoing through the canyon.
"What's that sound?" Erza questioned.
With Natsu, Lucy, Gray, and Happy
"You hear that?" Natsu asked.
"It sounds like something's roaring." She said. Out of corner of her eye she saw that the mushrooms on both Natsu and Gray's heads started glowing then fell right off.
"Yay! The mushrooms are gone now!" Happy cheered.
Lucy looked at him, "They're mushrooms may be gone but yours isn't."
"Ah!" Happy yelled.
The three wizards then ran towards the direction of the village.
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Erza and Makarov noticed that the lines were glowing red the moment they heard the roar.
"Erza!" Natsu called out.
They stopped and notice the ground was glowing.
"Be careful Happy." Natsu warned.
"Aye sir." Happy said.
Lucy was on alert. Sensing to see if there was anything around them that was planning on popping up and trying to attack them. Her eyes turned purple for a split second, turning around she saw the building behind her was glowing red. But it wasn't just behind her. Looking around she saw that all the buildings were glowing.
"Whoa, what's with this place?" Natsu questioned.
"It looks like the buildings are moving." Lucy observed.
"It looks like the houses are having a dance party huh?" Happy said.
"I don't think so, Happy." Lucy said.
Makarov looked down at the ground, "It can't be!"
"Its time to rumble gramps." Gray said preparing to use his ice-make magic.
"No wait!" he stopped him.
"What? Why?" Gray asked.
"We need to get to higher ground! There's something I have to check!" he told them.
"Alright guys, lets go! Try to stay close!" Erza said.
They all got to higher ground and saw the buildings transform into monsters.
"Aw man. Looks like we got out just in time." Natsu said.
Erza looked down at the monsters, "Now I see. It was a magic circle."
They all looked at her.
"That's right. Those lines we saw in the village were carved into the ground to form a massive magic circle. A circle used for a type of magic that was banned years ago. A form of sealing magic that is known as…Alive." Makarov explained.
"So this is what it does? Make non living things come to life?" Lucy questioned.
"That's right. It has the ability to turn inanimate objects into living creatures. It appears the villagers cast the forbidden spell only to end up being eaten by the very monsters they brought to life." Makarov said.
Lucy crossed her arms, "What would posses them to use magic that's been banned in the first place?"
"This village…was home to a dark guild." Erza said.
Natsu looked at her, "No way."
"While investigating, I came across a collection of magic tools tucked away in a shed. Upon closer inspection…I realized they were tools to practice black magic." She explained.
"Knowing how reckless dark guilds can be they probably thought up some crazy plan then wound up getting burned in the process," Makarov explained, "But! There's one thing we should be grateful for."
"Oh yeah? And what would that be?" Natsu asked.
"The dark guild's mischief brought these creatures to life. And most living creatures can be turned into…Food!" Makarov smiled.
"Huh? That's right. They can be turned into food can't they?" Lucy said realizing he had a point.
Natsu and Gray smirked.
"Gray, that smirk makes your nakedness look unsettling." Lucy told him.
"Uh..." He said.
"Now! Time to chow!" Natsu yelled.
"Yeah! I'm right behind you Natsu!" Happy cheered.
"At this point I don't even care what they taste like!" Gray said.
Erza charged at the monsters.
Lucy smirked, "Well if Erza's okay with it then so am I. Mark of the Sun!" her appearance changed into her sun form then charged down at the monsters just like Erza did.
Gray, Natsu, and Happy followed right after them.
"Time to get my grub on!" Natsu yelled.
"Save some for me!" Makarov told them.
Natsu landed on a rock, "Listen up dinner! Before I eat you let me tell you a little secret! I'm an awesome chief and I love to flambé!"
He punched his fists together, "Karyū no Tekken (Fire Dragon's Iron Fist)!" he sent a fire punch right at the monster's neck, "Sorry pale but your toast!" he said sending numerous punches at the monster.
"Now that he's cooked!" he kicked some rocks down at the fallen monster, "We'll cover 'em up and let 'em steam for a bit." He smiled making a peace sign.
Gray was staring up at another monster with his hands in his pockets, "Normally I'd save dessert for after the meal," he grinned, "But not today."
The two headed monster charged at him and he went into an ice-make pose ready to strike them down, "Ice-Make: Fishnet!" stretching his hands out he froze the monsters right in their tracks. Crossing his arms he smirked, "Anyone wanna try a monster popsicle?"
Meanwhile Happy was fighting with a chair, "Even if you're a chair you can't taste worse than a wing fish." He said still fighting with the chair then jumped in the air to avoid getting hit by one of the chairs legs and landed on it holding on for dear life as it ran off with him as an unwilling passenger.
Lucy was levitating in the air looking down at a snake monster and smirked, "Normally I would eat animals I hunt for in the forest and not monsters but I think I can make an exception. Just this once of course." The monster stretched its head out ready to bite her but she had other plans.
She stretched both hands out in front of her, "Taiyō Bīmu (Sun Beam)!" she fired an orang sun beam right at the monster burning it whole body but now enough where she couldn't eat it. The monster fell down defeated and she landed right in front of it.
"I gotta admit. I'm looking forward to eating it." she smiled returning to normal.
Erza stood proud and tall in front of three monsters, "Now then. Its time to start cooking."
"Kansō (Requip)!" her armor changed making her wear a chief's hat, heart shaped apron, and holding two giant knives in her hands. She was also surrounded knives, ladle, and other utensils. She then sliced and diced the monsters cutting them into bite-sized pieces.
"The trick is to cut them into perfectly bite sized pieces that are five centimeters long and four millimeters wide." Erza said to no one in particular.
Makarov sat cross-legged observing them, "I wish they would hurry up. I'm starving here."
Natsu jumped down from the rock he was standing on and broke a piece of the monsters tentacle off, "Time to dig in."
Erza grabbed a piece of the black sticks and brought one to her mouth taking a bite and chewing it.
Lucy also broke off a piece of the monsters tentacle off and took a bite out of it.
"Well it ain't pretty," Gray said holding up a frozen piece if the monster in his hand, "Hope it tastes better than it looks."
Natsu took a bite out of the tentacle and Gray took a bite out the frozen part. Natsu, Gray, and Erza froze.
"Gross!" Natsu and Gray yelled.
Erza said nothing and simply crossed her arms.
Makarov looked at them.
"What were you thinking gramps?! There's no way we can eat this nasty stuff!" Natsu yelled at the old man.
Gray had tick marks on his head, "You trying to kill us ya old geezer?!" he yelled.
"True. I would hardly call this edible." Erza agreed.
Makarov raised a brow, "Really? Lucy doesn't seem to have a problem with eating the monster she killed."
They all looked at the old man then at Lucy and sure enough she was happily munching on the monster she killed without any problems much to their confusion.
Natsu and Gray blinked at the girl.
"You've gotta be kidding me! How the hell is she able to eat that thing?!" Gray questioned.
"No fair! How come Lucy gets eat?!" Natsu whined.
Erza brought her finger up to her chin, "Interesting. Her stomach must be capable of digesting anything edible or non edible." She theorized.
"I'll admit. I'm somewhat surprised myself, but you can't deny the happy look on her face." Makarov said.
Lucy was paying no attention to them and was too busy munching on the monster she killed. She finished eating one tentacle and proceeded to eat the other surprising her team.
Gray sweat-dropped, "Wow, she must've really been hungry."
Erza nodded, "She was probably more hungrier than us having used up a lot of magic during the Lullaby incident."
Makarov nodded himself, "Restoring the conference hall building must've zapped all the magic she had left which caused her to pass out. So its not surprising to see she'd be hungry when she woke up," He observed her chowing down like Natsu and sweat-dropped, "I just didn't think it would be this much."
Lucy finished off the last piece of tentacle and went back over to her teammates with a smile on her face, "I don't know about you guys but I'm good and full. Sorry Master I forgot to save you some."
Makarov waved off her apology, "Don't worry about it my dear. I don't think I could have eaten it anyway."
"Hey Lucy how come you could eat it and we couldn't?" Natsu asked.
She shrugged then pulled out one of the monster stick's Erza made and ate it, "This is really good too. I think I'll take some home with me and eat it for later. Sorry Gray but I don't eat frozen foods unless its ice cream so I don't think I'll be eating the one you killed." She said munching on another monster stick.
Gray sweat-dropped, "Uh, that's cool. You don't have to eat it if you don't want to."
Just then Happy came crashing into the rocks behind them getting everyone's attention.
Gray pointed to Happy's head, "Your mushroom finally fell off look."
"I don't care about the stupid mushroom I wanna know why you guys didn't help me?! How could you be so mean? I thought we were friends!" Happy yelled.
"We are!" Natsu said.
"You were just goofin' off, right?" Gray asked.
Happy turned white at Gray's comment.
"What're we going to do now? I would rather starve then eat more of that stuff." Erza questioned.
"Guess that's what we get for trying to cook up a bunch of monsters." Gray said.
"Man this sucks. All that barbecuing made me even hungrier than before." Natsu frowned.
"Well I liked it. I'm almost full to be honest with you." Lucy smiled.
"I see how it is. Even after all we've been through your ready to throw me out like yesterdays garbage." Happy wailed. Then a monster appeared behind the cat making him scream.
"Look out!" Natsu said punching it in the gut.
"Natsu!" Happy cried out in happiness.
Looking around they found themselves surrounded by more monsters.
"Man these things are nasty." Gray said.
"In more ways than one." Erza commented.
Natsu punched his fists together, "I'm gonna blow you to pieces!" he said, "Karyū no Yokugeki (Fire Dragon's Wing Attack)!"
"Ice-Make: Wall!" Gray froze some.
Erza sliced up some monsters with her Heaven's Wheel Armor.
Lucy requiped a gate key, "Gate of the Golden Bull, I open thee, Taurus!" a ding sound was heard and a cow man carrying a giant axe on his back appeared.
"Moo! Your looking smooth as usual miss Lucy." Taurus said with hearts in his eyes.
"I admire your passion but right now its time for some bashing," she smirked at her spirit, "You ready?"
He grinned, "Yes ma'am!" she went over to her spirit standing side-by-side, "Combination attack! Lucy and Taurus Earth punch!" they both sent a powerful punch to the ground decimating the monsters. One by one the members of Team Natsu were attacking monster after monster before gathering together.
Natsu looked up and scowled, "They just keep coming!"
Lucy felt the earth shake, "Great. Now what?"
A purple light glowed beneath them showing a magic circle underneath he monsters
"The magic circle!" Gray said.
"Are you kidding me?!" Natsu yelled.
"Oh wow, it's so pretty!" Happy said.
"There's nothing pretty about this Happy." Lucy told him.
"This is bad." Erza looked around.
The monsters went down beneath the earth probably the work of the magic circle. The ground the team was standing on had a crack in it alerting Erza.
"Run for it!" she yelled.
But it was too late because the ground gave way and they all fell downwards towards the magic circle.
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Gray, Natsu, Erza, Makarov, and Lucy were walking down the road three of which were still very hungry.
"Uggghhh, I'm starving. Like for real." Natsu groaned.
"I can't walk another step you guys." Happy said even though he was flying not walking.
"Well good thing you have wings unlike the rest of us, you show off." Gray glared at the cat.
Lucy was still confused, "Okay, I still don't get what just happened."
"Um, master?" Erza asked.
"Yes?" he answered.
"I'm not satisfied with your explanation, sir." Erza said.
"That so?" he said.
Flashback
(Song: FAIRY TAIL Main Theme –Slow ver.-)
"Now spill it! What were you trying to pull?" Natsu demanded.
The female villager spoke up, "We were using the magic circle to cast forbidden spells. But those monsters appeared and took over everyone in town."
"So the monsters we fought. They were all trapped inside of them?" Erza questioned.
Lucy suddenly felt sick, "And I actually ate some of them. Gross."
"When you stepped into the circle it activated the spell, and we no longer had any control of our selves." The male villager explained.
"Hmmm, well you won't have to worry about that happening again." Makarov told them.
The villagers looked at him in confusion.
"What do you mean by that gramps?" Natsu asked.
"There's no need to sweat the details my dear boy. Now as for all you villagers you should be grateful that someone came along and freed you from your possession. I assumed you've learned your lesson from this gross misuse of magic and as long it doesn't happen again I won't report you to the council. Is that a deal?" Makarov said.
"Yes of course. We never want to go through that again. Thanks you so much." The female villager bowed.
The male villager bowed as well, "You have our word."
Makarov grinned.
(End Song)
Flashback End
"When we finally defeated the monsters it seemed to activate some kind of self destruction spell within the magic circle. That's when you came in. In the blink of an eye you saved us, freed the dark guild from the take-over spell, and destroyed the magic circle before it flattened the village and everyone in it." Erza explained.
Makarov didn't say anything.
"How did you do it?" Erza asked.
"I'll tell ya someday," he sighed, "But what matters now is…"
"WE'RE STILL HUNGRY!" they all yelled.
Lucy blanched, "I still can't believe I ate monsters that were actually people."
