I feel like I'm about to screw everyone over, but at the same time, I feel like you all are going to like it. Decide for yourselves!
The group started walking on their path again. They were hoping to find a nice, spacious clearing to start building their base, which Gajeel and Natsu's abilities would come in handy. The newly formed group decided to spread out some so they didn't have to walk simultaneously and could also spot incoming enemies easier.
The air felt damp and Juvia looked up at the sky. The clouds were dark and ominous. She knew it was going to rain soon, it was obvious. She turned towards her Gray-sama and knew he could tell. If he could tell then everyone could tell, so there was no need to tell everyone that.
Lisanna was scared. The air felt ominous, the sky matched the feeling, and it all felt familiar. She unconsciously took a step towards Bixlow. He noticed the same things and remember her dream. He started to think about what happened in her dream, it could just be a coincidence. It couldn't possibly be real, but all those reassuring thoughts quickly disappeared when the group stopped.
It front of them was a cave. Lisanna stared at their destination in horror and covered her mouth with her hand. Bixlow took her other hand in his making her feel better in a way.
"Alright everyone!" Kagura yelled to get everyone's attention.
"We'll all be going into this cave." Minerva said, her usual smirk on.
"No!" Lisanna yelled in protest.
Tears streamed down her face and she fell to her knees. Mira was by her side in an instant. She tried to make her scared sister feel better by saying that everything was going to be alright, but Lisanna shook her head. Bixlow took his hand and put in on her shoulder.
"What's wrong, Lisanna?" Mira asked.
"I-it's," She said between sobs, "e-exactly..l-like..my..d-dream."
"So, there's no reason to cry about a dream." Mira reassured her.
"Mira," Bixlow said. "Everyone died in that dream." He put emphasis on died.
That immediately got everyone's attention and explained the crying girl. The leaders got together and started to discuss on what actions they were going to take instead. After a couple of minutes of discussing, they finally came to a decision.
"We are only going to send in a small group of people." Jura said.
"Wakaba, you're going in so you can signal us. If everything's safe, then send smoke out. Macao you're going, too." Gildarts said.
"If I don't make it out, take care of my boy." Macao said to Laki, she nodded.
"Lisanna and Bixlow, you are going since you two seem to know the most about this." Kagura said. "Jellal will go to make a quick escape with the group."
Jellal nodded. His eyes suddenly changing. A smirk covered his face and he removed his hand from Erza's. What Erza didn't notice was the small crack that was on the palm of his hand.
The group of five entered the cave, Lisanna gripping Bixlow's hand like her life depended on it. Macao it his hands on fire and provided light for the group. Lisanna looked towards the way they entered. The entrance was no longer visible so she gripped Bixlow's hand tighter. He gave her hand a squeeze in reply.
They continued their journey for a couple more minutes. Wakaba felt that the cave was safe for the rest of the group, so he turned around and took the pipe out of his mouth, ready to give them the signal. Before he could, he felt a drip on his next and looked up. Everyone looked up with him and wings started to flutter.
"Shit!" Bixlow yelled as zombies started to fall from the roof of the cave.
Exceeds were flying and dropping the green killers. Jellal had a wicked smile on his face as all of his skin started to crack. The four mages turned and looked at him shocked. His skin fell off of his body to reveal his green complexion.
"It feels good to be back." He said cracking his neck. Bixlow stood protectively in front of Lisanna.
"What the hell! We trusted you!" Bixlow yelled at him.
"It's called magic, but now I can talk to you, too." Jellal said. "I was suppose to lure you hear, but who would've thought that you'd do it yourselves!?" He laughed. "Too bad that not everyone went in. I'll make sure to give you your punishment, Lisanna. But, you all will become my underlings!"
"Like hell!" Bixlow yelled.
As the green people stayed on the ground, un-moving from the impact, he grabbed Lisanna's hand and started to run towards the back of the cave. Macao and Wakaba started to follow, but they started to move again and grabbed their ankles. They were dragged down and taken in by the mass of zombies.
"I think the smoke's coming." Natsu said looking inside the cave.
"AAAHHHH!" A scream came to everyone's ears. It was Macao's voice.
"Dad!" Romeo yelled. He went t run into the cave, but Laki stopped him.
"It's Manly to save your sister!" Elfman yelled as he charged into the cave.
"Elfman!" Evergreen yelled and followed him inside.
"Me, Ogra, Ren, Sherry and Hibiki will go in after them." Minerva said and went in.
Hibiki used his magic to create light going along the entire inside of the cave. He downloaded two sounds into Jura's head. One said that they needed help and the second one was that they were gone, don't come in.
Everyone was on guard. From that horrific scream, they knew something was in here. Exactly what though was unknown. They sure as hell wouldn't think that they couldn't handle it. But, the overwhelming truth that was coming was going to kill those thoughts.
On the roof of part of the cave, a man with a drunken smile was clinging to it. Elfman passed him which caused his grin to widen. He saw his sexy little sister com in here earlier, but he was going to get revenge on him.
"My soul... is quivering."
