Chapter 4: Gauluna Island
After the long boat ride, Lucy was glad to reach shore, though she wasn't as happy as her teammate who rushed off the boat and kissed the sand like it was his last ray of hope. "I feel so much better!" He exclaimed while punching a fist in the air, his goofy smile again plastered on his face.
"Oh you're such a baby flamehead." Gray said, a cool smirk plastered on his face. Suddenly an iron fist came down and made contact with the ice mage's head.
"Gray, we're here on official business. That means NO POINTLESS FIGHTING. You understand?" Erza explained, her eyes stabbing darts into his soul. Gray looked as if he was about to die and gave a quick and terrified. "Yes!"
As Erza turned to walk away she looked back at him again, startling Gray. "And keep your clothes ON."
Gray looked down to see his pale, hardened skin flashing back at him. "Dammit! When did this happen?!" He quickly retrieved his clothes and got re-dressed while a certain pink haired mage just chuckled. "Shut it fire spitter."
Throughout this event Lucy and Happy stayed behind and watched as the story began to progress then ended quickly. She shook her head and let out a heavy sigh. "Why did I ever want to join this guild again?" The question was of course rhetorical because she knew exactly why she joined. She wanted to be stronger, to join a guild who would love her for her, and more than anything she wanted to stay with her best friend. Lucy looked to Natsu with admiration and also another emotion she dare not say or express.
"You liiiiiiiike him~" She heard the blue furred feline say next to her. She punched him hard enough on the head to leave a bump but not knock him out. "Shut it cat." Was all she said.
"Come on! Let's get a move on, we don't want to keep our customer waiting." Erza exclaimed. Lucy looked to see that she was left behind and the group was almost a small black blurr.
"H-Hey wait for me!" She exclaimed as she ran forward, the flying feline zooming past her to cling onto the dragon slayers back.
Finally they reached the village where they were supposed to meet the customer. The place wasn't exactly what they expected. They thought it would be more like Galuna island not only because it had almost the exact same name... Well actually that was the reason, but it was nothing like it. It looked like a ghost town after a hurricane and tsunami hit it. There was fog covering everywhere and the houses were all falling apart. "W-What happened?!" Lucy questioned as she strained her eyes to see past the thick fog.
"I don't know, but it doesn't look like we'll be meeting anyone here." Erza said, her eyes scanning the perimeter for any movement or even a small sign of life. "It looks like everything was destroyed by a hurricane or something close to it."
Natsu looked serious, which was never a good sign. "I can't smell anything because of this thick fog. It's so thick it almost seems unnatural."
The five of them huddled closer to each other. Suddenly the sound of a branch breaking appeared right next to Lucy, which made her scream and cling to her best friend. "W-What was that?!" She exclaimed, terrified. For some reason she had a bad feeling in the pit of her stomach, almost making her puke. "I-I don't like this place." Her body shook in fear.
"Hey Luce, don't worry. I'm here." Natsu said soothingly as he placed a hand on her head, trying to calm her down. "Oh! Gray, Erza and Happy are also here, we'll be fine!" He gave her a reassuring smile. This made Lucy feel more relaxed, but then her heart fell into her stomach. The visions of her dream replayed in her mind, each scene focusing on her friend's deaths. Suddenly her visions cease abruptly, causing her to faint. Natsu quickly caught her and called to her, his face worried. Erza, Gray and Happy rush over to see what happened. Meanwhile, the group didn't notice the strange figure hiding in the fog, a menacing smile plastered on their face. "Found you."
