Chapter Twelve: Saving Natsu
Outside in a forest, Elfman was carrying Grey and I was leading them.
"Were coming, Natsu!" Elfman yelled.
"Hurry, I have his scent, he's this way." I said
"Elfman, put me down!"Grey said.
We arrived at a dock area and there was a boat. We climbed in, but Grey refused.
" Elfman, Laxus is going to kill us."
"Laxus, or no Laxus. Natsu is our friend and we have to save him. Evergreen told me he was in that dungeon."
Elfman pointed at the scary dungeon that Natsu was locked up in. Grey was frightened and he ran off the boat to dig his head under a pile of dirt.
"Geez, Happy. Could this be the end of The Three Magicteers?"
I didn't want it to be, but I got really mad at Grey, pulled out my little guitar and sang, "This is the end! This is the end! The poor Grey Fullbuster wants Natsu to drown. Elfman trusted him, but he let him down. Grey must be brave, Natsu must be saved. Natsu must think he's a traitor, he will never forgive him. It's the end!"
Grey was irritated, so irritated that he pulled himself out of the dirt, grabbed my guitar, and smashed it against the floor.
"I'll show you, little cat!"
"This way, ice guy!"
Grey looked back at Elfman and smiled.
"Let's go. Happy!"
Grey grabbed me and got on the boat.
"Grey!"
"Come on, we have to save Natsu!"
I got to the back of the boat and used my tail as a propeller to make it go faster.
Back inside the dungeon, the water has already reached ten feet and Natsu tried so hard to get out of the chains. He couldn't use his magic under water, so he swam to the top. Unfortunately, the water was barely touching his chin.
Elfman and Grey got off the boat and onto land and ran inside.
"We're coming, Natsu!" Elfman yelled.
Natsu couldn't get over the water anymore and ran out of breathe. He stopped swimming and drowned. He knew he was done for, but luckily Grey and Elfman jumped in and grabbed onto the chains. Grey iced them and it came undone. They carried Natsu outside and waited until he came back alive.
"Natsu? Natsu!" You ok, pal? I think he's ok." Elfman said with concern.
Natsu started coughing and came back.
"Grey? Elfman? I thought you were a goner."
"Oh, I ain't going nowhere." Elfman replied and gave him a friendly hug.
"Hey!" Grey exclaimed, waiting for his hug.
"Oh, Grey, I thought I would lose you, too."
"Nope, I'm still here."
"We wouldn't let you down, Natsu. We're your friends."
"Yeah, come on." Grey handed Natsu back his scarf. "We gotta save the princess, don't you remember? All for one?"
"Yeah." Elfman said to cheer Natsu up.
"Guys, we aren't even real magicteers." Natsu sighed.
"Not real magicteers? Elfman asked. "Who says so? Listen, Grey maybe a little paranoid sometimes."
"Hey!"
"And you may just be a little guy."
Natsu laughed.
"And I ain't no genius, but I know one thing. If the three of us stick together…"
"We can do anything." Grey finished off.
"And not Laxus…" Natsu said.
"Or anyone else can stop us." Elfman finished.
"Magicteers, we have a princess to save." Natsu said.
The three pals were on their way to the dance, and had a plan to stop the evil Laxus from ruining the night.
