"Sadly, that's true," Gray said in agreement. He walked over to Sora and began crawling on the ground, saying "Bark," in the most unsatisfying yet hilarious way. Natsu attempted to hold back his laugh but alas could not. The people down the roads of Magnolia could hear Natsu's mocking laughter from at least a mile - considering he's trying to be loud.
Sora and Shiro passed a look towards each other and little did anyone notice that the once high-noon sun has gotten low enough to pass for late evening. Natsu calmed down and the group of people came to silence. The strangers of the group began leaving, and Natsu and Gray were getting tired themselves. Natsu, yawning, could not stop Lucy from leaving and he well enough knew that.
"Okay, we're leaving. Shiro, Lucy," Sora commanded. "We're leaving," And then began walking away. Lucy gave one final hug to Natsu and Gray and began to utter something that began to make Natsu cringe but was harshly interrupted by Sora. "Lucy, hurry up."
Lucy caught up to Sora and Shiro, looking over her shoulder to Natsu and giving him a smile.
"I'll be back," Lucy mumbled to herself. Sora heard this but remained yet unphased.
As the trio made their way to the outskirts of town, Sora clapped his hands twice and shouted "We're ready to leave, Old Deux!" and with that, the trio suddenly found themselves millions of light years away from Magnolia, and instead had entered the fantastic realm of Disboard. Lucy couldn't believe her eyes, above her was a massive collection of clouds with energy surging through like an electrical storm.
"I see you've brought a friend, oh King of Imanity. Will she be of use to us?" the voice boomed from above.
Lucy couldn't believe what was going on. "King", "Imanity", "Old God?" What has she gotten herself into?
"More than you could believe." Sora answered, and with that, they were greeted by Steph, Jibril, and Izuna.
