Musica and Aki had woken up the next morning to get rid of their 'injuries' both of them muttered something about crazy women as they had walked into the bathroom. As they walked into the restroom both exceeds had awoken Happy had healed enough to walk but he couldn't fly yet because of his bandages Blair on the other hand was in perfect health while the still unnamed wyvern was asleep in Aki's bed.
"Happy you're staying here to heal the other and I will get some supplies for the trip." Blair walked in the bathroom to tell Aki and Musica but immediately closed the door. Inside the bathroom were Aki and Musica while weeping hugging each other as they both experienced the same horror yesterday. "I think I'll just get Levy and Natsu…." she them went to the other room and knocked on the door Blair heard some rustling and grunting until Levy finally opened the door she was wearing an orange strapless tank top and a pair of yoga pants. "Uhhhhhh" "you don't wanna know" Levy said before Blair could make a sentence "Oi Levy you were right this is relaxing" said Natsu who was wear a male version of Levy's outfit but is also a human pretzel….. "I'll just…..wait outside" she then slowly walked out of the room and waited for the duo to prepare thinking about how humans could stay in such painful looking positions. After a few minutes Levy and Natsu had walked out wearing their usual outfits(the ones they bought) but without armor seeing as the city was safe enough to walk around. As the trio walked out of the inn and towards the market noticed the reason why this place was called a city. There was a huge dock full of flying ships "Woah those are all around as big as blue Pegasus' bomber Christine some are even bigger!" Natsu yelled out to no one in particular making some people look at Natsu in confusion.
"OH MY GOD IT'S AN AIRSHIP STATION!" Blair exclaimed "Those are super rare I think there's only like 1 in Fiore" Levy remembered as she read it in a book somewhere. "Yes well airships are mostly made in Alverez empire so they aren't very popular outside of it especially since they don't get well with…...Ishgar". There was a brief moment of silence until "Just thinking about them makes me sick" Natsu muttered while turning a bit green then Levy remembered one of the stones that was perfect for Natsu. "Natsu here" she said as she held up a bracelet with a black rune stone on it "what does it do?" he asked while holding in some throw up. "You see Natsu in this stone prevents illnesses like seasickness airsickness and carsickness so basically it-" "GETS RID Of MOTION SICKNESS" he finished for Levy as he took the bracelet and put it on and hugged Levy. "THANKS LEVY I COULD KISS YOU" he told her while spinning her around "N-no problem Natsu" she managed to say a blush barely visible on her face as she started to get sick from being spun. After putting Levy done he yelled "Let's get an airship and go to Fiore!" the girls took a minute to think about then they agreed that it would be the best choice. So after they got their supplies they would find a ride to Fiore.
They quickly got the supplies they needed which was mostly food. They also was a magic shop that they checked out. Nothing interest them until Blair saw a transformation magic book she quickly took the book and showed it to Levy and Natsu they skeptically looked at her "I wanna learn ok" Blair told them as she thought after I master transformation I'll finally be able to get whatever I want. She then went on to daydreaming about everything she could do if she could turn into a human with great 'assets' well at least part human. After some more shopping they went to sleep he station to see if there were any ships heading towards Fiore.
"Seems like not a lot of ships are headed towards Fiore" Levy told herself as she looked at a schedule of the ship's' time or departure and arrival plus their destination. "That one it says it'll go anywhere for 15,000 jewels that might be able to help us" Natsu said as he pointed towards and old galleon sized ship that looked like it would fall apart any second. "Natsu I'm not sure it's all that safe plus we only have 16,000 jewels left so if this doesn't work we won't enough money to buy anything except a day's worth of food" Levy explained. "We'll do you have any better ideas? No? I didn't think so" Natsu said as he walked away from a flabbergasted Blair and Levy "did he just? Sass me?" Levy finally managed to say. "I…...I think so" Blair muttered they stood there for a minute until finally regaining their senses as they began to follow Natsu.
By the time they reached the ship Natsu was talking to an old man who's only noticeable feature were some sorta goggles with many features on them themselves. "So you can really get use to fiore in under three days?!" Natsu asked the old man with an obvious surprise in his voice. "Sure I can my ship is the fastest in rune kingdom since I put some speed and endurance increasing rune stones which you clearly know about" the old man said while looking at Natsu's bracelet. "You know about Rune stones old man?" Natsu asked dumbly which was responded by a hit to the head by the old man as he yelled of "course I do I'm old ya know I fought in the 2nd trade war I met the legendary fairy tactician you fool!".
"YOU KNEW THE FIRST MASTER?!" Natsu said again in the same tone while Levy facepalmed at Natsu revealing an important secret. "WAIT YOU'RE A FAIRY TAIL MAGE?!" the girls just sighed as the two idiots 'bonded' for the next hour.
Back in Fiore
It has now been a week since they called off the search for Natsu, Levy, and Happy all of Fairy tail has been sadder than they have ever been before. The once loud guild was currently so quiet without their local pyromaniac present to start anything. Gajeel and Pantherlily had joined team Natsu to temporarily replace its regular dragonslayer and exceed. The team had currently left on a job requested by one of the four gods of Ishgar himself about two days ago. The remainder of the guild was gathered up team shadowgear was still crying over the missing Levy and Strauss sisters were at the bar silently hanging out each too depressed to do anything. The master himself was currently drinking out of his beer mug sitting next to his grandson.
"So you think those two will ever come back gramps?" Laxus asked his midget grandfather "They will definitely come back Laxus you know Natsu he's unkillable and he'll protect his nakama no matter what the cost. I have no doubt that they will get back safe and sound he is a member of fairy tail. And one of its strongest at that I might even make him S-class when he returns for facing such a powerful foe and surviving" as Makarov finished his short inspirational speech as Laxus asked "S-class? Makes sense" so he took a sip of his beer and thought nothing of it.
Back in the rune kingdom
"So you need a ride to Fiore? Sure I'll do it for free but I haven't been there in about 90 years so we'll land on the house of an old friend" the old man said with a wink. "Um excuse me sir but what's your name anyway" Levy finally asked the old man which he responded by "Oh my name it's Hugh just Hugh ok". The three nodded not fully understanding why "Ok so what's the plan when do we leave?" Natsu asked "Hmmmm tomorrow will be excellent I'll just make some repairs" Hugh answered while looking at his ancient ship. " why don't you get a new ship?" Blair asked "Because this ship was a gift from Warrod one of fairy tail's founders.." Hugh said proudly which caused Natsu and Levy's jaws to drop therefore starting and entirely new conversation for another half hour.
After the explanation ended the trio decided it was time to go"Ok we should get our friends we'll be back tomorrow ok old man?" Natsu said finally regaining his composure Hugh nodded as he walked into his ship to start the repairs. "Ok let's go guys we have to prepare for this trip." Levy told her current companions which led her to discover that Natsu was apparently gone which made Levy sigh.
About a mile away Natsu was running across rooftops towards the inn at a fast speed It's one of them I know it is that smell it has to be. Natsu somehow sped up knowing his friends were in danger.
Over at the inn things weren't any better as Aki was currently unconscious with his adopted wyvern in his arms. Happy and Musica were still up and engaged in battle with a large man wearing a black suit a noticeable feature of his was that his hair was shaped so that it looked like he had two horns on his head.
"What the hell are you doing here you horned freak" Musica spat out venomously towards the man. "I came here to kill that blue cat apparently Lucci and the others had a run in with that fur ball and its friends" the man said calmly. Musica's eyes widen as he looked at Happy who was now trembling in fear as he remembered the the 3 figures who had defeated Natsu so easily. "But now that I know you're here Musica I should probably call for backup so that we can bring you home" the man said as he activated a rune stone that he he apparently had. As soon as he activated it the face of another man appeared this one has a Fu manchu mustache with a pointed goatee and a queue. "Huh what do you want Blueno this better be good and or important" "it is I've found Musica he's actually standing right in front of me now named Blueno said "I found Musica Jabra he's standing right in front of me". There was a dead silence as Blueno turned off his rune stone and got into his fighting stance "your brother has finally returned Musica and we're bringing you back home." "Like hell you bastard" Musica responded getting into his own stance his Lance pointed towards Blueno "we'll see about that" they stared each other down then….."SORU!" both Musica and Blueno disappeared in a burst of speed but Blueno slightly faster than Musica.
About 5 minutes later
Natsu had finally arrived it took longer than he hoped the scene that greeted him was one of the only things he didn't want to see. Laying on the roof were his friends laying bruised and beaten Blueno stood above them and Jabra stood behind him with a bored look on his face. "He's still weak Blueno and he still uses that stupid spear" Jabra spat out annoyed that the fight ended. Musica glared a Jabra and attempted to get up "D-don't call my….spear-" he was cut off as Jabra stepped on Musica's head. "Don't you get up you're still too weak to be one of us your brother will be disappointed that you lost so easily" Musica struggled but he couldn't move a muscle. Natsu was about to rush in there to save his friends but suddenly Levy grabbed his hand "Natsu don't it'll be two on one and even with the element of surprise and take one out the have Happy Musica and Aki at their mercy. I don't know what they want but please Natsu for once….don't fight…." Levy looked at the ground hoping that Natsu would take her warning and not rush in like he always did.
Natsu was having an inner battle on one hand he wanted to get over there and save his friend but on the other hand he knew that he couldn't win. Just thinking about his last fight with one of those people in the black suits with the smell of blood made him remember those words The reason you lost was because of your kindness it has made you weak… Natsu was angry no he was enraged because for the second time in his life he was truly afraid he could no longer move as those two men toyed with his friends. He wanted to do nothing more but just rush into the scene and defend what he cared for but the more he concentrated on the two men the heavier his legs become as he sensed their vast magical energy. "DAMMIT WHY CAN'T I MOVE" Natsu asked himself he was loud but still outside of Blueno and Jabra's hearing range. He fell on his knees when his legs gave out he couldn't stand anymore he felt so many emotions rage, fear, embarrassment, shame. Levy also felt shame and fear for not going to help their friends it tore her up inside but she couldn't let Natsu jump in and die the guild would be devastated she would never get over it but Musica Happy Aki and that little wyvern she couldn't let them she stomped on.
Back on the roof Blueno and Jabra had come to a decision…..well sorta….. "We can't let them go Jabra it's our mission" "Screw our mission this cat shows and Musica is still too weak let's just say we didn't find anything". The two men continued to argue and flared their magical energy making Natsu and Levy flinch. They continued to do so until they came to a conclusion and left one more willing than the other.
Natsu stood up again trembling a bit and made his way to his injured friends. At arrival first thing he did was pick up Happy who had a big bruise on his head indicating that that's where he was struck. He walked over to Aki and his wyvern as he then picked up the wyvern carried them both to the room without saying a word. Levy slowly went over to Aki and woke him up neither said a word as Aki got Musica and helped him to his room. Blair caught up a few minutes later and when she saw Musica and Happy's conditions she went straight to sleep not wanting to think about them anymore despite it only being early dusk. Levy walked into her room after everyone else was asleep the sun had finally gone down she saw Natsu sitting on his bed hanging his head in shame.
"Natsu…" Levy walked slowly towards Natsu and sat next to him "I'm sorry that I stopped you I don't know how hard it must've been for you to just stand there while the others were hurt. I just didn't want to see you getting beat senseless like….like last time." Levy muttered "I couldn't move….not a bit Levy" Natsu finally spoke up while looking at her. "I was scared Levy I was weak…...I failed…." "You're not a failure Natsu everyone feels fear no one blames you…" Natsu remained silent but then he felt some weight on him. He looked over towards Levy and noticed that she was leaning on him "remember a few nights ago remember what you told me? We're fairy tail wizards and we take care of each other…" Natsu just nodded as Levy yawned and drifted off without knowing. "I have to get stronger…" Natsu told himself as he began falling asleep himself.
