Disclaimer: I don't own Fairy Tail!
I'm still not completely sure of which Lucy to bring in, or to bring her in at all, so I'm going to put up a poll (it will be a blind poll). It will be up until the end of the month. If you are a guest and you would like to vote, just put your vote in the reviews. I will only be counting guest reviews just for this chapter, mostly because I'm lazy(sorry) but still want to give them a choice. If Lucy is brought in, it will be right before the Phantom Lord arc though.
Also, I will be doing the fillers, as you can see from this episode. Sorry if you don't like this episode.
February is too short. I'm sorry I didn't get to update that month. To tope that off, my laptop was broken for about a week so I couldn't use it then. Sorry!
I just got to 100 favorites for this story! Thank you guys so much! Thanks to those who have followed too!
Read and review! Thanks for the reviews!
Enjoy!
Master fast forwarded the introduction as everyone was talking. He thought about how long this was going to take. He had a meeting to go to soon and it was a month before Lucy actually comes to the guild after meeting Natsu. Maybe they should not take any jobs and just watch this for the whole month. If they need money, he can sen someone who's being annoying.
"Are you ready, Gramps?" Natsu asked as he finished forwarding the tape.
"Yeah." Master said, hitting play and going back to his seat.
"Last time on Fairy Tail!" Natsu said as Mira was shown explaining the about the meeting and rank of guilds. "Why the heck to I have to go with you?" Natsu snarled as he had fire behind him.
"Then don't come!" Gray yelled with metaphorical blue fire behind him. Lucy was shown staring at Erza in surprise at the amount of luggage she was pulling behind her.
"I want you two to lend me your strength." Erza said as Gray and Natsu popped up onto the screen dancing.
"Eisenwald?" Gray asked as the guild was shown with the mages walking out.
"We're going to stop their evil plan!" Erza said.
"Finished!" Natsu shouted. Everyone cheered at his shout.
"Natsu!" Lucy shouted at they drove after the train he was in.
Natsu groaned as he remembered that horrible thing that happened. "I still can't believe you forgot me on that thing from hell." Natsu said, shaking in fear.
"Sorry." Erza and Gray chuckled out.
"You don't sound sorry." Natsu grumbled.
"Maybe because they're not." Macao whispered to Wakaba who started to laugh.
Natsu jumped out of the train and flew toward them. Then Kagayama was shown as Lucy said "The flute of curse, Lullaby!"
"Master is in trouble!" Erza said as Makarov was shown with Kageyama. Lullaby's feet were shown stomping onto the ground.
"So this is the true form of Lullaby?" Lucy asked as Lullaby's face was shown. Natsu punched Lullaby in the face. Gray shot ice shards at Lullaby. Erza slashed Lullaby's face.
"You went overboard!" Lucy shouted as a hole in the ground where the masters' meeting hall was shown. The screen faded black.
"They always go overboard!" Master groaned as he slammed his head into the table he was sitting at.
"Sorry." Everyone laughed as he just groaned in response.
A footprint in dirt was shown. A hand reached down and laid on it. "This footprint... Yes, there's no mistake." A man's voice was heard. The screen moved to show a man kneeling and a woman standing. "It's already been two days since they passed by here."
"That's plenty of time to reach Magnolia from here." The woman said. She had green hair and a hand on her hip.
"Alzack! Bisca!" Everyone shouted.
"Yes! We showed up!" Alzack said to Bisca, who nodded happily.
"I wonder if something happened to them?" The women asked. The man continued to look at a rock he had picked up before setting it down.
"Anyway, let's go back and give our report." The man said.
"We're not going after them?" The woman asked.
"After who?" Bisca asked confused. No one knew what to say.
A creature's foot appeared on the screen and continued to run, a second one following. The woman and man were one them. "This women is Bisca Moulin." The narrator said as the screen showed her with the man behind her. "This man is Alzack Connel. Both of them are Fairy Tail wizards."
Both smiled proudly at the fact.
Mira's face was shown on the screen and she looked worried. "I see. This is a problem."
"I want to know what's happening." Natsu shouted impatiently.
"Shut up and watch then!" Erza snapped, just as impatient as him.
The screen zoned out to show she was talking to Bisca and Alzack. "And we've received a notice from the Council, too..." Mira said as she carried a drink tray.
Master groaned about the notice.
"Well, I was planning on going after them, but..." Bisca trailed off looking at Alzack.
All the men cringed, seeing that he made her mad. "Good luck." Macao whispered to Alzack, who shivered in fear.
"I'm scared." He whimpered back.
"No, we couldn't." Alzac said, turning to look at Bisca. "The path went deep into Clover Canyon. Even experienced hunters from Hunter Guilds can't get out once they loose their bearings." Alzack stated.
"But who went in there?" Everyone asked at the same time.
"A great natural labyrinth, huh? Why would they head there?" Bisca asked.
"Whoever it was is stupid." Cana said.
"I bet I could get out!" Gildarts shouted. Everyone rolled their eyes at him.
"They must have some reason. Well, Master is with them, so it shouldn't be a problem, but..." Mira trailed off.
"Oh!" Levy said. Everyone looked at her, but she just nodded to the screen telling them to watch.
The title page appeared. "Natsu eats a Village!" Happy read the title.
Everyone glanced at Natsu. "Well, he definitely had the appetite to, but I'm not sure he would..." Gildarts said after much thought.
"Maybe it had a different meaning." Levy suggested.
Blue feet were shown as they walked near an edge of a cliff. One foot kicked a rock which was shown to fall down the cliff. The screen then showed Lucy up close as she screamed "Come on, Happy! You're lost again, aren't you?" She stood behind Happy as she screamed this. "We've been walking and walking, but we haven't gotten to Magnolia yet!" She complained. The screen zoned out to show a canyon as Lucy shouted "You sense-of-direction-less cat!"
"Lucy's mean!" Happy wailed.
"It's sort of true though, Happy." Natsu said sadly.
"Natsu! You're being like Lucy!" Happy shouted, pointing.
"No!" Natsu shouted in horror. Everyone was laughing at their antics.
"This place is known as Web Valley, as it is filled with innumerable fissures form an ancient earthquake." The narrator said. A sign with "Web Valley written on it appeared in the corner of the screen. "As was mentioned before, it is said a great number of souls have gotten lost here, never to return." The narrator said.
"That sounds dark, but the narrator said it lightly." Romeo said.
"He's right." Everyone thought at once. They gave the screen suspicious stares.
Happy popped up in a bubble on the screen. "How rude! I wasn't lost before. This is the first time." Happy said.
"At least I'm defending my honor." Happy said seriously.
"What honor?" Gray snorted. Happy pouted at him.
"My honor. What other honor is there to defend?" Happy asked him sadly.
"W-Well..." Gray stuttered, not sure what to say. Tears brimmed in Happy's eyes.
"Gray! You made Happy cry!" Mira shouted in shock.
"H-Huh?!" Gray asked, confused. Happy looked at him with eyes layered with tears.
"Ice-stripper! You bastard! Don't make Happy cry!" Natsu shouted, punching Gray in the face.
"Don't order me around, you pyro!" Gray shouted as he got into a fighting stance once he recovered from the punch.
Natsu growled as he punched his fists together, creating a red magic circle. Gray's eyes widened, having not expected to have to use magic in this fight. Gray slammed his fist into his palm, slowly brought it up, an focused his magic there, creating ice in the air around his hands and a blue magic circle in front. Natsu crouched low, about to jump into an attack. "Iron Fist of the Fir-" Natsu shouted, only to be cut off by Erza.
"STOP IT!" Erza shouted. She has slammed their heads together as she yelled her order. Natsu and Gray groaned and held their heads as they got up. "You're acting like little kids. If you continue to act this way, I will personally kick you out of the guild for the next month, and you won't be able to learn the future. Got it?" Erza asked threateningly.
"Aye, sir!" Natsu and Gray yelled, saluting her, before gulping in fright. The glare that Erza had was dangerous. "Good." Erza growled before going to sit back down.
Happy was laughing at their misfortune in the corner of the guild.
Lucy popped up in a bubble next to him. "I don't care if it's your first time or your last; the fact is, we're lost!" Lucy said in a whiny tone.
"Wow. She really want to get home." Loke said.
"I understand it. After a mission, it's nice just to go home and relax." Mira said warmly.
"How would you know? You haven't been on one in years..." A guild mate muttered. Luckily for that person, Mira hadn't heard his comment. Unluckily, Natsu had and he started to make his way over to the member.
Everyone sighed in defeat. "I'm starving." Natsu said with pointy teeth and a bored face.
"Stop reminding me! It's only making me hungrier!" Gray growled.
An explosion went off in the back of the guild. "Natsu!" Master shouted in anger, seeing the smoke come off of a table and one of the guild members being slammed into the wall. Natsu ignored the Master and walked slowly and fiercely to the member, growling. Everyone was in too much of a shock to move. Natsu slammed his fist into the wall right next to the member's head.
"Do you mind repeating what you said earlier about Mira? I don't think I heard right." Natsu said with a false happy tone. The member gulped and shook his head.
"I-I-I don't know what you're talking about!" The member stuttered before quickly finished the sentence. Natsu leaned closer, growling.
"Oh, I think you do..." Natsu trailed off.
"I-I s-said: how would you know? You haven't been on one in years..." The member admitted in shame. Natsu tensed, shaking in anger.
"WHAT?!" Elfman had shouted. He started to get up, but was held down by Gray and Loke, who thought the member was already in enough trouble by the looks of Natsu.
"Natsu. Cal-" Master was cut off by Mira.
"Natsu!" Mira shouted his name gaining his attention. He didn't let the mage go but he turned toward Mira, only holding the mage by his collar. "Thanks, Natsu!" Mira said warmly, smiling. Natsu grinned widely.
"No problem. Now let me go back to beating the shit out of him." Natsu said, turning back to the member he was holding.
"No! I appreciate what you're doing, but it's fine. It's true." Mira said sadly.
"That doesn't matter! Everyone knows why you stopped! Everyone knows the pain you went through! You shouldn't be getting shit because of it." Natsu growled, glaring at the member. Mira sighed.
"You're right, but it's fine. I forgive him." Mira said.
"But I don't." Natsu replied darkly, setting his closed fist one fire.
"Me forgiving him should be enough." Mira told him, placing a hand on his shoulder. Natsu slowly relaxed, dropping the member and turning to face Mira. The member ran away from the Dragon Slayer. "Thanks, Natsu." Mira said again, hugging him. He hugger her back.
"Let's get back to watching."Gildarts broke the awkward silence after that.
"Well I'm hungry and that's that!" Natsu yelled as he an Gray bumped heads.
"Then stop going on about it already!" Gray retorted.
"Indeed." Makarov said as his face appeared with shadows down it in the middle of the screen. The screen zoned out to show him standing next to Gray and Natsu fighting. "I'm hungry!" Makarov said.
"Not you too!" Natsu and Gray shouted.
Natsu and Gray glared at each other, mad they said the same thing, but decided against fighting by the glare sent by Erza.
"Enough." Erza said darkly as she glared at them. The screen went black and a growl was head as the word floated across the screen in yellow letters.
Everyone glanced at Erza but didn't say anything, fearing her wrath.
Everyone stared wide-eyed at Erza, who tried to stay composed. "It sounds like your stomach just went 'gu...' It said "gu...'" Natsu said.
"It did not. You're hearing things." Erza said stubbornly.
"Are they all hearing things?" Macao asked, only to have to dodge a sword that had been thrown just a moment after. "Worth it." Macao whispered, making sure Erza did not hear.
"Nice cover-up there." Gray said.
"Gray." Erza growled, holding a sword to his chest.
"I haven't said that yet..." Gray replied, holding his hands up in surrender. Erza continued to glare while she let her sword drop and sighed. He was right.
Happy appeared in the middle of the screen smiling gladly with sparkles in his eyes. The screen zoned out to show Happy with sparkles around him and him frozen in mid air. "What's so exciting?" Natsu asked as he walked onto the screen. Happy looked per the cliff.
"Natsu, look at that!" Happy yelled. Natsu, Lucy, Gray, Makarov, and Erza peered over the cliff. The screen zoned out.
"I can fly!" A male voice said as a fish flew across the screen.
"Was... was that the fish?" Romeo asked in confusion.
"I think so..." Macao answered, not quite sure himself.
"You can fly!" A female voice sung.
"Can you fly?" Another male voice asked. Fishes flew across the screen.
"It's the legendary delicacy, the winged fish!" Happy shouted happily as a job request with a picture of the fish was shown.
"Happy sounds happy." Romeo said, chuckling.
"Lame!" Natsu shouted, only to be ignored by the snickering mage.
Happy appeared in the middle of the screen saying :They;re super tasty!" with a paw raised. Then it showed Happy with Natsu, Lucy, Gray, and Erza behind him as he continually said "Yum, yum, yum, yum, yum, yum!" Natsu and Gray had their eyes shadowed. Then it closed in on Natsu's, Gray's, and Erza's faces.
"Legeandary delicacy?"
"Winged fish..." Erza trailed off.
"Looks good to me!" Natsu said eagerly.
"They're ready for food." Levy said, snickering a bit. "I understand too, since they're trapped there."
Makarov placed a hand on Happy's shoulder with tears flowing out of his eyes. "Good going, Happy! Well done!" Makarov said, nodding his head. Lucy stood behind them exasperated. The screen moved up to show Lucy hunched over tiredly.
"You are all way too hungry." Lucy mumbled. Then he screen zoned in on her stomach as it growled. Lightning flashed across the screen, splitting the screen between Lucy and Gray.
"Your stomach agrees with us." Gray said smiling arrogantly.
Everyone cracked up. "You look so happy that you caught her lying." Happy snickered.
"Yeah..." Lucy said dejectedly.
"And she looks sad." Romeo pointed out.
"I wonder why she won't admit she's hungry." Erza said in wonder.
"Okay, we're fishing!" Happy said as he was shown standing with a fishing pole.
"Where'd you get that?!" Everyone questioned in confusion. Happy ignored the question and munched on a fish.
"Does anyone know where he got the fish?" Levy asked, and everyone shook their head no.
"I give up on the mysteries of Happy!" Levy yelled, raising her hands in surrender.
The screen showed many fishes flying around. Fishing lines were hanging over the edge. "Damn... Just when you think you've hooked one, it's gone." Natsu sighed. Happy was shown with a determined face.
"I'm gonna do my best!" Happy declared.
"They don't really look all that tasty to me, however..." Lucy observed.
"Don't judge a book by it's cover!" Levy stated the famous saying, knowing that Lucy would have understood what she meant.
"What does that mean?" Natsu asked, not understanding.
"It means don't judge someone by how they look, judge them after to get to know them." Levy explained. Natsu nodded at her to show his understanding.
"Shut up and fish." Erza said simply. "At this rate, it doesn't matter as long as they're edible."
"That sounds disgusting." Cana said, wrinkling her nose.
Lucy looked at Erza with surprise. "You're that hungry?" Lucy asked. The screen moved back to Happy.
"I want to eat a winged fish! They look delicious!" Happy shouted.
"Not really... Gotta say I'm with Luce on this one." Natsu said, not noticing he said Luce instead of Lucy. Everyone else noticed, though.
"Luce?" Mira asked with a smirk.
"Huh?" Natsu asked in confusion.
"You called Lucy, Luce." Mira told him.
"What? I did?" Natsu asked with his eyebrows pulled together. Everyone nodded, confirming Mira's statement. "Oh... I guess I did. That would be my nickname for her." Natsu explained.
"Haven't even met the girl and you're already giving her a nickname." Gray laughed.
"Shut up, ice-princess."
"Why should I, Flame-brain?"
"Because I said so-" Natsu's insult was cut off by the showing.
The screen moved to show Happy at a different angle. "They're a legendary delicacy!" Happy shouted. The sky was shown as Happy's shout echoed. Then the screen showed Happy with the fishing pole on the ground next to him. "I gave up." Happy said.
"Such a change!" Everyone shouted.
Lucy's back was shown as she faced happy in shock. "So much for willpower!" Lucy shouted. Lucy was shown crouching in front of Happy.
"But I couldn't catch even one..." Happy said sadly.
"You're hungry, right? Then keep trying." Lucy said softly. Lightening split the screen showing Happy said and Lucy smiling at him. "Don't give up, 'kay?" Lucy asked.
"Lucy's actually being nice!" Happy shouted in shock.
Happy slowly looked up at her. Then it showed him running way with Lucy behind him with her jaw dropped and wide eyes. "Lucy, you meanie!" Happy shouted.
"How was she being mean?" Levy asked in confusion. Even Happy was confused about his future self.
"I have no idea." Happy said slowly.
"But I was encouraging you!" Lucy argued. Then a winged fish was shown laying on the ground. "That was pretty tough." Lucy said.
"In the end we only got one..." Erza said.
"But that's still something to eat." Romeo said, trying to lighten the mood.
Fire appeared on the screen and when it disappeared the fish was shown cooked. Natsu and happy appeared in bubbles. "Happy, eat it." Natsu ordered.
"I can't just eat it by myself..." Happy said. Gray appeared in a bubble next.
"If we split it up, it'll only make us hungrier!" Gray said.
"That's true." Gilarts said, having been through that once. He had to eat very little, saving his food so he would make it through the forest. Of course, he hunted and gathered food while he was in there, but he still had little.
Makarov appeared next. "Don't hold back! Eat, eat!" Makarov shouted. Happy was shown with sparkles in his eyes.
"Right then! Thanks!" Happy said. Everyone but Erza was shown restraining themselves from taking the fish from Happy as he opened his mouth wide and took a bite from the fish's head. He chewed as they watched in sadness.
"I feel bad!" Happy wailed.
"Don't! It would be worse if we split it!" Natsu yelled.
Happy chewed the fish eagerly, shoving it into his mouth. "Sure seems like he's enjoying that fish there... Lucky him..." Lucy said sadly. Then it went to Happy who had wide eyes and was spitting the fish out.
"Gross!" Happy shouted.
"But you were enjoying it a moment ago!" Cana argued.
"And now I'm saying it's gross!" Happy retaliated.
Lucy appeared on the screen, asking "It's gross?!" Natsu and Gray were shown walking.
"Anyway..." Natsu started.
"...I'm completely..." Gray continued.
"...starving..." Makarov finished. All of them were walking dejectedly.
"I'm surprised Gray said the second thing." Cana said.
"Why?!" Gray asked, a bit offended.
"Because Natsu said the first part." Cana explained her surprise. This got Gray to shut up, because honestly, it surprised him too.
A settlement with pillars at the entrance was shown. "A village!" Erza said.
"Houses!" Gray said excitedly.
"And so, there's probably..." Happy trailed off smiling with Lucy and Natsu behind him looking eagerly at the village.
"Food!" Natsu shouted as they were all shown running happily into the village.
"We're all so joyful!" Master said, laughing. Erza, Happy, Natsu, and Gray were laughing with him.
They stopped in the middle of the village in confusion. "There's no one here." Gray said as he turned.
"It does seem really quiet for a village." Lucy said as they walked through the town.
"Maybe they're taking an afternoon nap." Natsu suggested.
Everyone stared at Natsu in defeat. "What?" Natsu asked. They all just shook their heads. "What?" Natsu asked again louder, but no one answered. He pouted, knowing that no one was going to answer him.
"Hey! Anyone here?" Natsu shouted.
"We're so hungry, we're about to faint!" Happy said after Natsu. "Somebody give us food!"
"Somebody give us food? Would that work?" Bickslow asked, chuckling at the question.
"Probably not." Laxus answered his team mate.
"That's a little blunt, you famished cat." Lucy said plainly.
"Even Lucy's hungry! Look! She can't even come up with a good insult!" Happy said, pointing to the screen.
They were shown staring in silence. "Are they really all taking a nap?" Gray asked.
"Our maybe the whole village got drunk, and they're all passed out?" Makarov said.
"That's my kind of town." Cana said, causing people to laugh.
"I think you're talking about Fairy Tail..." Lucy said.
"That's so true." Romeo said seriously.
"She catches on quick." Laxus said, smirking.
"There, too!" Makarov laughed. There was silence for a moment before Natsu was shown running eagerly.
"Argh, this is annoying!" Natsu said. "As long as I can get my strength back, I'll eat anything!" Gray showed up, running next to him.
"Hey, you aren't considering robbing the place, are you?" Gray asked.
"You seem to be considering that too..." Cana said, snorting at the Ice Mage on the screen.
"You had the same idea, didn't you?" Natsu asked as they were shown running from an alley way. The screen showed the inside of a house as someone knocked on the door. "Hey, anyone home?" Natsu shouted. There was soup and a bowl of bread in the shot. "Give us something to eat, please!" Natsu shouted through the door.
"Natsu actually used manners..." Levy said in shock.
"Natsu? Manners? What is this?" Mira asked teasingly. Natsu pouted at the two girls.
The door opened by itself, showing Gray and Natsu in the door way looking in. They saw the table with soup, bread, and butter on it. "Yup, there's no one here." Gray said. Natsu walked in first.
"Anyway, let's eat!" Natsu said. He sniffed at the bread and smiled. "Okay! It's still good!" Natsu confirmed.
"How do you know?" Romeo asked curiously.
"My Dragon Slayer abilities. One of them is an extremely good sense of smell." Natsu explained.
"Let's eat!" Natsu shouted as he went to take a bite and Erza walked by him.
"Wait." Erza ordered, causing Natsu to glare at her.
"Why?!" Natsu asked angrily.
"I can't believe she got Natsu to not eat." Wakaba said in disbelief.
"I know." Macao replied.
"This is suspicious." The screen moved to show Lucy and Gray.
"Yeah. It looks like they were just eating." Gray observed. "Where did the people in this house disappear to?" The screen closed up on the side of his face and Natsu, Happy, and Erza were shown behind him.
"How should I know? Anyway, let's eat, Happy." Natsu said.
"What if it's cursed?" Levy asked, hoping Natsu and Happy wouldn't eat that.
"I'm sure it's not." Natsu said, waving it off. Everyone was still suspicious but let it go.
"Aye!" Happy yelled. Natsu opened his mouth and went to take a bite. The screen split by a pink line and Erza was shown with a glare and her eyes turned yellow as she said "I said wait!" Natsu cowered away from her.
"Right!" Natsu shouted in fear. The screen closed in on Erza's eyes.
"We must investigate this village first." Erza declared.
"But I wanna eat!" Natsu whined for himself in the showing.
"Fine eat! If you somehow get poisoned or something, don't blame me!" Erza shouted at him. Natsu looked at her with wide eyes.
"Uhhh... Never mind. I'll eat later." He said.
Erza's eyes narrowed. "You must hold out until then. Hold out a little while-" Erza was cut off by her stomach growling loudly. Lucy and Makarov were shown.
"Erza, your stomach is overruling you." Lucy said.
"Not convincing at all, I see." Makarov said.
No one said anything because of the glare on Erza's face.
"Natsu and Gray, go search for mushrooms or something!" Erza shouted with a hand out.
"Natsu and Gray? Work together? Since when?" Gildarts asked, chuckling.
"It... It just feels... weird." Master said, shivering at the feeling.
"I agree!" Gildarts yelled, raising a hand.
"Do not touch the food in the village!" Erza ordered. "Master and I will investigate what's going on in the village!"
"Fine, I got it." Natsu said as he walked outside. Lucy's face was shown close up with her eyes widened. Natsu was behind her. "Off we go, Happy."
"Aye!"
"Why mushrooms?" Lucy asked with a darkened face.
"She's been stuck on that?!" Everyone shouted.
The screen then showed a mushroom at the base of a tree. It showed different spots on the ground with many mushrooms. Lucy's face was shown as she looked like she was being tortured with Natsu and Gray walking up behind her. "And we finally found some good looking food... I ain't gonna be satisfied with mushrooms." Natsu said dejectedly.
"No one would be." Levy said.
Natsu stopped and looked with surprise at the ground. "Look, mushrooms!" Gray said with his arms crossed.
"Whoa, they look awesome!" Natsu shouted excitedly.
"Why are you so excited about mushrooms?" Gray asked. Natsu shrugged, not sure about his future self.
"Why mushrooms?" Lucy asked again with a disgusted face.
"Does she not like mushrooms?" Erza asked appalled.
"I guess not." Macao said.
"Why didn't she say so?" Erza asked, not understanding.
"Because you're scary." Natsu mumbled, but Erza heard... sort of.
"What was that, Natsu?" Erza asked.
"Nothing!" Natsu shouted.
Happy appeared in the middle of the screen asking "You know what?"
"What?" Lucy asked.
"Natsu's going to eat a poisonous one like those 'laughing shrooms'." Happy said.
"Why would you say that?" Natsu asked offended.
"Because it's true." Happy told him. Everyone was laughing at them.
Happy held up a sign and winked while saying "It's one of his signature gags!"Natsu was then shown crouched over a pile of mushrooms.
"What are you talking about, Happy?" Natsu asked. "I ain't gonna do a dumb joke like that..."
"I very much doubt that!" Gray said loudly. Natsu narrowed his eyes at him.
"Stupid Ice-princess!" Natsu yelled. Gray went to retort but Erza's glare kept him from doing so.
Natsu turned to show him eating mushrooms that he had picked. The scene changed to show a clothesline with shirts waving in the wind. Erza stood staring at it. The screen showed a pot of stew as it cooked. Makarov stood over it with shadowed eyes and sweat pouring dow his face. He cracked an egg open.
"It turned so serious..." Wakaba noticed.
Makarov stirred the egg in a bowl. The screen moved up to show someone standing above him with red eyes.
"Master..." Erza growled.
"I haven't done it yet!" Master argued.
"But you will!"
"How do you know?"
"It's in your character!" Everyone was laughing at the ridiculous fight between Erza and the Master.
The screen showed Makarov sitting at a table with Erza standing behind him.
"Master..." Erza said calmly.
"I was just i-investigating!" Makarov said, stuttering. The scene went back to Natsu who was stuffing himself with mushrooms.
"I think I can fill up just on mushrooms, as long as I eat enough of them." Natsu reasoned.
"Your reasoning is awful." Loke said simply to Natsu.
"Your's is!" Natsu retorted.
"Yeah. Great comeback." Loke drawled in a sarcastic tone. Natsu just huffed at him.
"Setup complete! Now wait for it..." Happy said, holding a sign. The screen showed Lucy and Gray.
"Fine, then hurry and pick them." Gray said while eating a few mushrooms. Natsu suddenly got a sour look on his face and he held his neck.
"Are you choking?" Mira asked in a worried tone.
"He'll be fine." Gray waved it off.
"Natsu, are you okay?" Lucy asked as she turned.
"See, here it comes!" Happy yelled, appearing with his sign.
"Why are you so excited to see that?" Natsu asked pouting.
"Because you're the only one I know that would survive that." Happy replied. Natsu started to smile.
"And because it's funny." Happy continued. Natsu's smile deflated and he just hunched over.
"I give up." He said sadly.
A mushroom grew out of Natsu's head and the screen zoned out to show Natsu in shock and Lucy staring at him with surprise. "What a shock!" Natsu yelled.
"I'm just as surprised myself!" Lucy shouted.
"I guess they weren't 'laughing shrooms'" Happy said sadly.
"Why are you disappointed?!" Natsu asked offended. Happy shrugged, having no idea.
The screen zoned out to show Lucy staring at him in shock and Natsu standing with his arms crossed."You're disappointed?" Lucy asked in shock. The screen showed Gray walking.
"What's all the fuss about?" Gray asked. Gray and Natsu stood next to each other. Both had mushrooms on top of their heads.
"Gray! You look like an idiot!" Natsu laughed, pointing.
"You do too!" Gray retorted. Natsu glared at him.
"I'm not the idiot. You're the only idiot since you didn't deny that you were one." Natsu pointed out.
"Natsu actually caught onto something..." Everyone trailed off in amazement.
"Your heads. Look at your heads. " Lucy said tiredly.
"Huh?" Both asked, looking at each other. Lightning crossed the screen and it showed both their eyes narrowed in thought. Natsu was then shown in shock, pointing at Gray, with a read background and lightning hitting the ground. Gray was then shown frozen in shock like Natsu with a blue background and lightning hitting the ground. Their heads lent toward each other and the mushrooms hit and bounced back.
Erza groaned. "You two fight enough as it is in the guild, but now we have to watch you fight on the screen." She complained.
"And Erza isn't there to stop it." Master realized in horror. The forrest is going to burn down or freeze over he thought.
"What the heck is with that mushroom?" Natsu asked, laughing.
"You should talk with a giant friggin' mushroom growin' out of your head!" Gray shouted. The screen zoned out to show Lucy watching them. "Trying to spruce up your image?" Gray asked.
"I'm sure that would spruce up anyone." Levy said sarcastically.
"I should eat one of those mushrooms." Gildarts sad in thought. No one paid him any attention.
"Why aren't they worried about themselves?" Lucy asked.
"They're never worried about themselves." Mira sighed.
"We do so!" Gray and Natsu shouted at the same time. Their heads snapped toward each other and they glared.
"Don't repeat me, Ice-stripper!" Natsu yelled at the Ice mage, who happened to be taking his shirt off. Gray looked down to see this and groaned.
"Shut up, Flame-brain!" Gray shouted, as he casually threw his shirt away. There was no point in him putting it back on because he would end up taking it off again.
"Shut up!" Erza snapped, earning an "Aye, sir!" from the two of them.
"Looks good on you! Too good!" Natsu told Gray. They were pointing at each other. The screen showed Happy behind Lucy. Happy was staring at a mushroom in thought, and an arrow pointed at the mushroom. Then it showed Natsu glaring at Gray in anger.
"Hey, droopy eyes…. Did you just laugh at me?" Natsu asked with a dark aura behind him.
"No! I would never laugh at you!" Gray said sarcastically.
"And you're snickering like a damn fool!" Gray snarled with a dark aura behind him. Natsu and Gray started fighting, causing a dust cloud.
"I wish you would not fight!" Erza said, more like ordered.
"Don't fight with mushrooms growing out of your heads!" Lucy shouted, waving her hands around, as she appeared on screen.
"I don't know why, but I love the scenes with Lucy in them." Gray said, chuckling at her.
"She seems to be the comic relief at times." Master said in understanding.
Makarov and Erza were then shown walking toward each other in the center of the village. "So?" Erza asked.
"There is no one here, as we thought." Makarov told her. They stopped walking a few feet away with a statue in between them. "This village is deserted."
"Something's wrong with that." Levy said cautiously.
"Despite there being evidence that people had just been living here." Erza said in thought. Something caught her eye and she looked down. "What is this seam?" She asked. Lightning split the screen and both Erza and Makarov were shown staring at the seam suspiciously. They turned and let their eyes follow the seam. "This isn't a normal crack between the rocks. It seems to have some purpose."
"But what?" Bisca asked, tilting her head.
"I wonder..." Master said in thought, trailing off.
Gray and Natsu were shown breathing heavily and standing off.
"Hey, you're both acting like idiots!" Lucy shouted. Happy slid onto the screen holding onto a mushroom.
"Lucy, I found an extra big one!" Happy shouted. Lucy turned in shock.
"HUGE!" Everyone shouted loudly, looking at the mushroom Happy had found.
"R-Really?" Lucy asked. Lucy looked at the mushroom in thought. "But doesn't that look a bit suspicious?"
"YES!" Everyone answered.
"Let me see…" Natsu said excitedly and he slid onto screen with his mushroom on his head and a smile. "Whoa, it's huge!" Natsu said as Gray appeared on screen.
"That would be Natsu's reaction." Romeo said laughing.
"Should I have reacted differently?" Natsu asked Romeo.
"No. I was just saying it was expected of you to react that way." Romeo quickly said.
"One of these'd last us for two days!" Gray said happily.
"That would be a dream come true for them." Loke said.
"Why don't you two do something about the mushrooms on your heads?" Lucy asked, slouching. Happy then bit into the mushroom. Lucy picked Happy up by his cheeks.
"Wait, Happy, don't!" Lucy shouted, shaking Happy. "It might be poisonous! Spit it out! Spit it out!"
"That looks like it hurts!" Happy whined, rubbing his cheeks.
"But it's yummy!" Happy whined. Then Happy was shown with wide eyes and he was holding his throat. Lightning split the screen into 3 and showed the worried faces of Gray, Natsu, and Lucy. A mushroom was shown growing out of Happy's head.
"That was pretty predictable..." Levy said while everyone was staring in silence.
"But no one called it..." Cana trailed off, for once not drinking.
The screen zoned out to show Lucy screaming with wide eyes. "I guess everyone ends up like this." Natsu says. The screen showed him, Gray, and Lucy staring at Happy.
"I wonder how the people from the village ate them?" Gray asked.
"They all must have been like us!" Natsu said.
"I bet the name of that village is 'Mushroom Village'!" Gray replied.
Everyone cracked up at the ridiculous name Gray gave the village.
Natsu and Gray started laughing as Happy was looking above his head. "It's not as funny the second time!" Happy declared running away with Lucy in shock behind him.
"That's not the problem, here!" Lucy shouted. Lucy turned to Natsu. "Wait a sec... I think your mushroom is growing." Natsu was shown with a larger mushroom and he looked at his head.
"What the hell?" Natsu asked seeing this.
"Natsu, you look like an idiot!" Gray laughed while pointing to the screen. Erza slapped the back of Gray's head to get him to stop.
Happy appeared on the screen crying. "Why does Natsu get all the good gags?" Happy cried.
"That was your problem?" Everyone asked Happy in shock.
"I don't know!" Happy admitted.
The village was shown with Erza and Makarov staring at the ground. "There's a second seam here." Erza said. The buildings were shown with mysterious roars in the background. "What?" Erza asked, looking off suspiciously. The usual Happy breaks in the middle of episodes was shown.
"Stupid break." Happy muttered.
The screen showed a cliff behind the town. "What's that?" Natsu asked, hearing the roars. Lucy turned, scared.
"Huh?" Lucy asked. Behind her, Natsu's and Gray's mushrooms glowed. She turned back with a gasp ad then lightning split the screen to show Natsu's and Gray's heads as the mushrooms disappeared. Lucy and Happy were shown staring at them.
"Huh?" Natsu and Gray said confused.
"Maybe the mushrooms had a time limit." Levy said, uncertain.
"Your mushroom's disappeared!" Happy said excitedly. Lucy turned to look at him and she looked at him tiredly.
"Happy, you're the only one who still has one." Lucy told him. Happy looked above and gasped in surprise.
"Erza, Gramps!" Natsu shouted as him, Lucy and Gray were shown running through the woods, toward the town.
"It's funny, but why's the joke on me?!" Happy asked incredulously as he appeared on screen.
"Because you complain the most." Loke said.
"I do not! I'm sure Lucy would be complaining way more than me!" Happy argued.
"I guess your right..." Loke said after a moment of thought.
The seam that ran along the town was shown as it glowed red. Erza and Makarov looked up when they noticed. "Erza!" Natsu yelled when they found them. Natsu, Gray, Lucy, and Happy stopped running and Natsu looked down. "Be careful, Happy!"
The girls cooed at Natsu's worry for Happy, causing Natsu to turn a bit.
A red light shone on the ground. "Aye!" Happy replied. Lucy looked suspiciously around. A building behind her glowed red and started to shimmer, causing her to turn around in shock. The whole village started to turn red and shimmer.
"What the heck?" Natsu asked, taking a step back. Lucy appeared on screen holding her cheeks.
"W-What's going on?" Lucy asked, scared.
"Wow! That's the first time a house ever waved at me!" Happy said as he flew onto screen.
Everyone laughed at Happy's statement. "I don't quite think that's what's happening." Macao said.
"That's what you're focused on?" Lucy asked in surprise. Makarov was shown staring at the ground, shimmers going through the ground.
"This is..." Makarov trailed off.
"You know?" Everyone asked in surprise. Master nodded, but didn't tell.
"Let's do it, Gramps." Gray said, preparing his magic with his hand. Lightning split the screen and showed the narrowed eyes of Gray and Makarov.
"Wait!" Makarov ordered.
"Why?" Gray asked annoyed.
"Climb up high" Makarov said simply. "I want to check something." Makarov turned, and everyone watched him run away.
"Everyone, come." Erza ordered, following Makarov's orders. "Don't get separated!"
"Follow Erza's orders!" Wakaba warned the mages who were there.
Everyone chased Makarov. They were shown arriving at the edge of a cliff. The buildings continued to glow red and shimmer. Then, the turned into tentacles from monsters. Monster heads appeared and moved around.
"Whoa, I don't get this at all!" Natsu announced as the screen zoned out to show all the monsters where the village used to be.
"You never get anything." Gray mumbled. Natsu didn't hear this fortunately for everyone.
"Master, that was a magic circle!" Erza said as the group of mages was shown. They gasped and turned toward her. The monsters were then shown moving around and then turning to look at them.
"Those creep me out." Levy said, shivering.
"It's fine! We'll beat them!" Natsu shouted happily.
"Yeah. All those gaps we found were part of a magic circle." Makarov said as flashes of him and Erza looking at the gaps were shown. The screen went back to the monsters to show them coming out of a red magic circle on the ground. "And that magic circle was the trigger to activate the banned sealing magic, Alive!" The screen closed in on Makarov's face.
"Alive?" Everyone echoed, wondering what that was.
"You'll see. I'll probably explain in in the showing." Master said.
"Alive?" Lucy asked as the screen zoned out to show the mages standing on an edge of a cliff.
Romeo started to chuckle. "Why are you laughing, Romeo?" Happy asked.
"Because you still have a mushroom on your head." Romeo answered, his laughing getting stronger.
"It's not that funny." Happy said while pouting.
"Look closely." Makarov said. Monsters were shown coming onto and off the screen. "As you can see. A magic that transforms inanimate objects into living, moving creatures. The people of this village unleashed this forbidden magic, but they all ended up as food for these monsters."
"That's terrible!" Mira said.
"It happens. We can't dwell on it." Laxus said loudly, trying to urge everyone to continue and stay quiet.
"Laxus! What would you do if it happens to your friends?" Natsu asked angrily, mad that he didn't care for those people's lives.
"Easy, I would kill those monsters before anything happened." Laxus answered.
"Well not everyone can do that!" Mira told him. Laxus smirked.
"But I can." No one said anything after that.
"But, why would they do something that dangerous?" Lucy asked. Erza and Natsu were shown, Natsu glaring and Erza looking down.
"This is the village of a dark guild." Erza answered, looking up.
Mira's eyes widened. "They were evil?" She whispered.
"Now I bet you aren't as sad about it." Laxus said to her. Mira glared but didn't answer.
Natsu turned to her with a shocked voice. "What?" Natsu asked. The screen sped in on Erza.
"When I searched that first house earlier, I found a set of magical tools." The screen showed Erza looks at all the tools. "And none of them was meant for good intentions." The people of the village was shown as silhouettes and had evil red eyes. Makarov popped up in a bubble.
"A dark guild, huh? They were most likely plotting an evil conspiracy and then landed themselves in it." Makarov pointed out.
"That means they were a sucky dark guild." Laxus said. "Too bad they were eaten. We could have taken them on for practice."
"However!" Makarov shouted. All of the Fairy Tail members looked at him with shocked faces. "Their despair is our happiness."
"I don't understand." Loke said with a confused face.
Lightning split the screen and Natsu appeared on the right side. "Old man, what are you talking about?" Natsu asked. The screen zoned in on Makarov's eye.
"I told you these things were alive, right?" Makarov asked with a raised eyebrow. The creatures were shown. "If they're alive..." Makarov popped up in a bubble. "You can eat them!"
"That's what you meant?!" Loke asked in surprise. Master calmly turned to him.
"When you starve, you are prepared to do things..." Master aid in a serious tone.
Lucy was shown with wide eyes and her jaw dropped. Natsu and Gray were shown prepared to attack. Lucy appeared behind them and yelled "Don't stand around there naked with a silly grin!" Gray turned with a question on his face. They're stomaches growled loudly.
"Well then, let's eat!" Natsu shouted excitedly.
"Natsu looks so happy." Mira giggled.
"Well, he is hungry. You know how he gets when he's hungry." Master replied, shivering.
Happy appeared next to Natsu screaming "Yay, it's time to eat!" Gray then appeared in front of Natsu with his fist held out.
"Under these circumstances, we can't be picky about taste!" Then they were all shown standing on top of the cliff and then Erza jumped down.
"Eh? Erza, you're that hungry?" Lucy asked in shock.
"I think anyone would be shocked." Evergreen said, laughing at Lucy's reaction.
Fighting music started to play. Natsu, Gray, and Happy were shown going down into the pit. "Food, food, food!" Natsu shouted happily.
Natsu will never change Erza thought fondly.
Lucy popped up in a bubble. "H-Hey!" She stuttered.
"Don't fogey to save some for me!" Makarov shouted as he popped up in a bubble.
"Master needs his food." Romeo chuckled.
Natsu landed on a rock. "Hey, assholes! You have any idea who you're dealing with here?" He asked. A monster was shown looking at him. "I'm the number one flame-griller throughout entire Fairy Tail!"
"Well, you are a Dragon Slayer..." Macao said depressingly.
Natsu was shown as he lit his fists on fire, creating shadows on his face.
"He looks evil." Vijeeter said.
Natsu punched his fists together and a red magic circle appeared in front of him. His eye opened as he shouted "Fire Dragon's Iron Fist!" He jumped up into the air and a dragon was shown following him. Natsu flew through a wall of fire and punched the monster. "First we cook them thoroughly..." Natsu trailed off as he punched another monster screaming "First Dragon's Iron Fist!" again. "And then..." Natsu kicked a huge rock to pieces, burying the monster. Natsu landed on top of the pile. He then appeared in a bubble and said "We steam them covered for a bit."
"It seems like you know how to cook, Natsu!" Loke said.
"Well, I do need to eat." Natsu smirked as he said this.
Gray was shown with his hands in his pockets, standing in front of the monster. The screen closed in on his face. "We shouldn't really eat dessert until after, but whatever." Gray said. A few creatures flew toward him. He put a fist to his palm and focused his powers. When he lifted it up to be level, a blue magic circle appeared in front of him. His eyes opened as he said "Ice Make: Fishnet!" An icy wind comes out of his hands and encases the creature, freezing it. He then appeared in a bubble. "The sorbet is ready. Let's take a bite."
"You know, if we have Natsu and Gray work together, they could make a dinner and dessert." Erza said thoughtfully. Gray and Natsu stared at each other in horror at the thought of working together. At least in what they were watching it was fighting they were doing.
"I don't think that will go well." Mira said, imagining the kitchen being ruined by one of their fights.
Happy was shown holding out a club. The screen zoned out to show him fighting with a chair. "I wonder what's more disgusting, a winged fish or a chair..." Happy trailed off.
"Definitely the chair." Loke said.
"I think the fish." Freed said.
"I agree with Freed. It's most definitely the fish." Bickslow said as his 'babies' repeated "Fish." over and over again.
The chair jumped up and shot a leg at Happy. Happy jumped up with a shocked face. He landed on the chair. The chair started moving around, trying to throw Happy off as Happy held on tightly. Erza was then shown standing in front of the creatures. "Erza!" Lucy called, running up behind her.
"Oh wait! Now Erza's going to be the one to prepare a monster..." Elfman said, shuddering at the thought. Everyone had a scared look on their face.
"Stand back." Erza ordered. Lightning split the screen, showing Lucy in the left ad Erza close up in the right. "It's time for cooking." Erza said.
"C-Cooking?" Lucy asked. Erza was shown with light surrounding her.
"Ex-quip!" Erza shouted. Her armor flew golden and the background showed space. Erza glowed a golden light and brought her hands down from above her head, creating ripples in the space-like background. She straightened up causing a red magic circle and then appeared to be in a chef's outfit with two large knives in her hands. Cooking supplies surrounded her in the air.
Everyone shivered. "Erza looks scary." Romeo muttered.
"When doesn't she?" Natsu whispered to him.
A slash appeared across the screen and Erza was shown jumping. Then it showed more slashes and then Erza swinging her knives. It showed a few more slashes and Erza running towards the screen. The monsters were shown with scratches on them. Then the creatures feel apart into little rectangle pieces. Lucy looked shocked as Erza landed on a rock behind her.
"I don't blame Lucy for looking shocked." Wakaba said quietly, making sure Erza wouldn't hear him. Macao agreed.
The sticks created by Erza cutting the monsters piled up in front of Lucy. The screen showed Lucy and Erza standing on front of a huge pile of them. "Each piece should be about 5 cm long, with a width of 4 mm, that's the way." Erza explained.
"Precise. Just how I like it." Era said, smiling.
"You're taking this way too seriously! By the way, Erza, that outfit..." Lucy trailed off. A rock was shown.
"Fire Dragon's Iron Fist!" Natsu's voice was heard.
"Ice Make: Knuckle!" Gray shouted. Makarov was shown sitting on a cliff. Happy was heard screaming.
"I'm starving..." Makarov said with while the others fought. "Aren't they finished yet?"
"Why don't you help?" Mira asked kindly.
"They enough for this." Master said. The three mages and flying cat who were present to hear this smiled.
"Time to eat!" Natsu's voice was heard as a hand grabbed a roasted tentacle from the monster. Natsu was shown about to bite in while Happy was behind him screaming as he held onto the chair. Natsu turned and said "What are you doing? I don't think you can eat a chair."
"Why didn't you help me?" The present Happy pouted.
"You seemed fine." Natsu said, putting his hands behind his head and leaning back.
Lucy and Erza were shown standing in front of the pile Erza had made. "Lucy. You try eating one first." Erza said.
"No, thank you!" Lucy argued while crossing her arms in the form of an 'x'.
"Is Erza going to get mad?" Wakaba questioned. Everyone leaned forward, wondering how Erza will react.
"Ah, well..." Erza said, reaching for one of the sticks.
"Well, this was not what I expected." Natsu said.
"Idiot!" Gray hissed. Erza didn't seem to understand this, fortunately for Natsu.
"That's not right! Why were you trying to make me eat one first?" Lucy complained. Happy was shown still holding not the chair behind them. Lucy turned with a shocked face. "W-What is he doing?" She asked.
"No one's helping me!" Happy cried out.
"I'm sure he can handle it by himself." Erza said.
"See, we believe you can do it yourself." Erza told the unhappy Happy.
"I-I guess." Happy sniffled.
The screen closed in on Erza. "Well then..." Erza trailed off as she took a bite. Lucy appeared behind her.
"H-How does it taste?" Lucy asked excitedly. Erza held out the stick to her. Lucy sweat dropped and cautiously took it. "W-well then..." The screen showed the fro zed creature with Gray next to it.
"Well then, I think it's about time to try a piece." Gray said.
"I wonder what it tastes like." Natsu said as his stomach growled.
"How can you be hungry?" Levy asked in surprise.
"I don't know." Was the reply she got.
Natsu was shown taking a bite. Then Lucy, and then Gray. Gray was shown gasping in shock as the screen zoned out. Gray was frozen in shock as Happy, still on the chair, flew past him. All of them were shown coughing the food out. "Disgusting!" They all shouted.
"Now we know how that tastes..." Jet said.
"Let's not try it." Droy told him.
Makarov was shown turning toward them. "What the hell? I can't eat this, old man!" Natsu shouted as he appeared on screen. Gray then appeared on the other side of the screen.
"This is just too disgusting!" Gray said angrily.
"They agreed!" Everyone shouted in shock.
"We are never going to get used to this." Macao said.
The screen closed in on Erza. "Yeah. This isn't something that could be described as edible." Erza said.
"It was that bad?" Levy asked, crinkling her nose, which caused Jet and Droy to gush.
Lucy appeared behind her. "Don't say that after you ordered me to eat it!" Lucy shouted angrily. Happy was still holding onto the moving chair, and he crashed into a rock. Natsu turned with a surprised look. Happy was shown with the mushroom falling off.
"Your mushroom fell off!" Gray optioned out.
"Who cares about that? Why didn't any of you stop that thing? How cruel, Natsu! Why didn't you help me?" Happy asked loudly while crying and waving his arms.
"Don't put the blame just on me!" Natsu yelled.
"But you didn't help! You're my partner and you didn't help!" Happy pouted.
"Isn't everyone your partner on the job?" Natsu asked.
"Yeah! But you're always with me!" Happy argued. Natsu didn't know what else to say.
Natsu looked at him curiously with Gray. "You weren't just playing around?" Gray asked. Happy was shown frozen in shock. Everyone else grouped together.
"Gray, you meanie!" Happy shouted.
"How was I supposed to know" Gray asked. Happy just glared.
"But this doesn't help. No matter how hungry we are, we can't eat this." Erza said.
"Glad they have limits." Macao said, causing some of the mages to laugh.
"I guess that's what we deserve, after having tried to eat monsters in the first place." Gray said.
"Ah damn! Now that I know I can't eat it, I'm getting really hungry!" Natsu told them angrily. Happy was shown still in shock.
"This is the worst... To hell with friendship, and to hell with my friends." Happy thought.
"That hurts, Happy!" Natsu pouted, placing a hand on his chest, right above his heart.
"Maybe if you helped I wouldn't be thinking that!" Happy told him. A monster rose up behind him and Happy turned with a scared face, screaming.
"Look out!" Natsu shouted, punching the monster with his fist on fire.
"Natsu!" Happy shouted. The group was shown surrounded by the creatures.
"You disgusting creatures." Gray sneered.
"Now I'm really pissed!" Erza angrily said.
"I wouldn't want to be them." Wakaba said, shuddering.
Fighting music started playing as Natsu punched his fists together and created a red magic circle. His eye opened as he said "I'll send you all flying!" Natsu crouched and crossed his arms, and then jumped up, yelling "Fire Dragon's Wing Attack!" Ropes made of fire came out of his hands, wrapped around his wrists, and he snapped them toward the monsters.
"Ice Wall!" Gray shouted, kneeling on one knee. A wall of ice grew out of the ground and hit the monster in front of him. Slashes were shown on the screen and then Erza was shown flying at them.
"Me too!" Lucy shouted, grabbing her keys.
"Lucy finally joins!" Happy shouts.
"Open! The Gate of the Bull!" Lucy shouted, swinging her key back, then forward across her chest, then pointing it down. She shouted "Taurus!" and a blue magic circle appeared in front of her, rubble flying up and finally a bull with an axe on its back appearing.
"Why'd she call that one out?" Natsu asked annoyed.
"It's the one you took out, Natsu!" Happy cheerfully pointed out.
The bull flexed. "As usual, nice body!" Taurus said with hearts in his eyes to Lucy, who was smiling and blushing little.
"Yes, whatever. I'll leave it to you." Lucy said, pointing to the creatures.
"Well then, it's been a while." Taurus said, grabbing his axe. He jumped up, swinging the axe around above his head and then bringing it down onto the ground shouting "Rage!" Rubble flew as the shock moved under ground, pulling the creatures apart.
"How did it end up like that?" Romeo asked.
"The spirits power went into the hit, which meant that the monsters were hit with not just the shock, but also Taurus' power that he sent with it." Loke explained. Everyone turned toward him, surprised he knew that. (AN: My made up reason. No idea if this is true.)
"How did you know that?" Erza asked.
"No reason." Loke answered quickly, turning to face away from them. They all thought it was suspicious.
Natsu was shown throwing another punch. Gray was shown freezing the creatures. Erza was shown swinging her swords. They all landed next to Makarov. "There's no end to them." Natsu said. The ground shook.
"W-What now?" Lucy asked, concerned. A red light shone.
"A magic circle?" Gray asked in confusion.
"What's happening?" A guild member asked.
"Just watch!" Erza snapped.
"What's this?" Natsu asked. The screen gave a birds-eye view and Happy appeared in a bubble.
"Wow, how beautiful!" Happy said.
"Uh, how is that beautiful?" Evergreen asked.
"Mabye it's just how you look at it..." Bickslow said. "Maybe if you tilt your head, squint your right eye, close your left eye, and look away, you'll see the beauty." Bickslow joked, causing people to laugh.
Lucy appeared in a bubble next to him. "That's not the issue here! You're focusing on the stingiest things!" Lucy shouted, while pointing. Erza was shown surrounded by red light.
"This is..." Erza trailed off. The ground with the magic circle was shown. Then the group was shown on the cliff. The monsters slowly shrunk into the ground. Red cracks ran up the cliff. "Run!" Erza shouted. It was too late and they fell when the cliff broke apart. The screen faded black.
"Well, I wonder what happened." Levy said.
"I hope they're okay." Bisca said.
"I'm sure they are." Alzack said.
The sun was shown shining. A groan was heard. "I'm starving... Really!" Natsu said.
"I can't walk any further..." Happy complained, flying.
"Uh, how'd it go from them falling to them walking?" Elfman asked.
"No idea." Everyone said with a straight face.
"Then stop fluttering around with those wings!" Gray said angrily. Happy was flying in front of him with Natsu walking behind him, and Lucy behind Natsu. Lucy was shown walking with Erza and Makarov behind her.
"I have no idea as to what happened at all." Lucy said sheepishly. Erza and Makarov were shown.
"Master." Erza said.
"What?" Makarov asked.
"I don't accept your explanation of what happened earlier." Erza replied.
"What was it?" Natsu asked curiously.
"Maybe it will say if you shut up!" Erza said.
There was a flashback. The mages stood in front of a bunch of people with hoods. "What did you do?" Natsu asked bluntly.
"Oh, Natsu. Ever the one to be blunt." Master sighed.
A guy in the front answered. "We created a magic circle and then the monsters appeared. We were all subjected to Take Over."
"So you were all inside those monsters?" Erza asked. Lucy was behind her. Lucy cringed at that.
"And I ate some of it!" She said disgusted.
"I think anyone would be." Levy said, not understanding how Gray, Natsu, and Erza weren't effected.
A guy with what seemed like a palm tree on his head replied this time. "When you outsiders entered the village, the magic circle was activated."
"That magic circle is no longer active!" Makarov said, causing the villagers to gasp.
"Why, old man?" Natsu asked.
"Exactly what we were wondering." Erza said.
"Don't mind the details!" Makarov said loudly, pointing to the sky. He then pointed at the villagers. "In any case, you should all be glad that the Take Over has been undone! If you've learned your lession and never do something like that again, I'll refrain from informing the Council." He said.
"I think they will." Mira said with a smile.
"What do say you?" Makarov asked.
"What do say you? Wouldn't it sound better of you asked 'What do you say'?" Natsu asked. Master shrugged.
"It could be either." Master said.
"I'd never wanna experience that again! I'm sorry." The first one who spoke said, bowing.
"We'll never do it again." The second who spoke said, bowing. Makarov was shown smiling, Erza looked at him, and Lucy watched the villagers in concern for them. It went back to the present.
"I thought that after having beaten the monsters, we triggered a switch that caused the magic circle to destroy itself." Erza said. "But then, Master..."
"He did something." Erza whispered, eyes crossed in thought.
"Run!" Erza was heard shouted, as the screen went back to showing them on the cliff, it breaking, and them falling down, screaming.
"In a instant you saved us, and undid the Take Over on the members of the dark guild. And then, erased the magic circle itself." The Erza who was asking about it spoke. Mkarov was shown falling while sitting crisscrossed. Makarov's eyes snapped open. "Isn't that right?" Erza asked while the screen closed in on her.
"Could be!" Makarov said.
"Why not just answer yes or no?" Erza asked angrily.
"In any case..." Makarov trailed off as music started to play. "We're starving!" He shouted, everyone joining him, the screen showing them walking. They stomaches were heard growling. The ending song played.
"Well, that's it!" Master said. "Maybe we should watch 4 more and then go to bed." He said. Everyone thought about that. They were getting pretty tired and should probably sleep soon.
"I'm ok with that." Mira said.
"Would we sleep here or at our houses?" Erza asked.
"I can set up sleeping bags for everyone." Master said. Everyone okayed the idea.
"Wait! What if we stop on a cliffhanger?" Natsu asked eagerly.
"Pfft. Like that's going to happen." Gray laughed. Natsu glared.
"It could!"
"Anyway! Let's start the next showing!" Erza loudly interrupted them, glaring at the two mages. They both immediately sat down, shut up, and stared, waiting for the next one to start.
AN: Yes! That's right! The next episode is the start of the Galuna Island arc, and Gray has no idea what he's about to go through, poor him. Remember to review! ALSO REMEMBER TO VOTE ON THE POLL!
See you next time!
