"Hey Erza! Natsu! Wendy! Look what I found here!" Natsu sat up in the bench he was laying on.
He smirked.
Gray?
Wanting my help for the first time?
It's probably some trap.
Natsu was going to lay back down until the word Lucy popped in his mind.
What if...
...it has to do with Lucy?
Gray wouldn't be the type to play pranks right after Lucy died.
Natsu sprang up and followed Gray's scent...
...to Lucy's grave...
...except it wasn't a grave anymore.
It was...
...a gaping hole in the ground...
"Ice Make: Floor!" Gray yelled. "Ice Make: Wall!"
He was suspended in the middle of the tunnel in ice.
He hoped the others received his message.
He looked down at the transparent floor beneath him and thought he saw...
...a tail.
A huge spiky tail.
Before he could react, a huge blast of air blew at him through his Ice Floor and blasted him out of the tunnel.
The moment Natsu saw Gray erupt from the ground, he punched Gray in the face.
"Not funny, Underwear Brain! You got me worried for a second! Don't you EVER do that because next time, I'm going to leave you to die if you ARE in ANY type of danger. Got it?" Gray gulped, thinking Natsu sounded a bit like Erza when he was in a situation where he was hopeful that Lucy might be alive.
Gray was disturbed by what he encountered.
If he hadn't been so shocked, he would have been sure the creature was a dragon, but...
...that's impossible!
Dragons...
...they...
...are already...
...extinct...
He quickly pushed the thought out of his mind.
He'll tell them later. "First, we have to find out why Lucy's coffin is missing, and why there's a tunnel under her grave."
Erza and Wendy, who FINALLY came to the scene, heard the last comment. "WHAT?!"
