Trebuchet
Chapter 28
We arrived at Demonreach by the afternoon and got onto it where I thought someone was watching us from afar but shrugged it off like it was nothing. I knew that the island's history had to deal with people vanishing many years back. I even almost lost my life when Dresden grabbed the noose around my neck to choke me in the freezing water that winter we had Johnny Markone and the Archive on the island. I still want to kill him for that whenever I saw his smug face.
"Where to now?" one of the Three Tail Thorn members asked.
One of the squires pointed towards the lighthouse and we headed up the hill to it with the sleeping girl.
"Never thought sleep magic would be so effective." One of the squires handed me on paper.
"Maybe the magic in Fiore is as strong but who knows how strong it will be here." I said.
I remembered how the Snoozer guy went to sleep right away himself and even had a pale paller to his face from the amount of magic he used. It was true that the magical restrictions of this world take their toll on them.
We got to the lighthouse where we lied the child down and the squires headed out to keep watch.
"You all should keep watch in case this Dresden guy shows up with Fairy Tail." The leader said.
"Yes sir!" they said and followed them.
"I guess no waste of time when they show up?" I asked.
"Of course! I wouldn't mind going up those Dragons with this new power you handed me." He answered.
"Are they as powerful as you say?" I asked.
"Four hundred years before my time in Fiore, the dragons vanished from our world but they had taught special people to use magic in order to slay dragons and Natsu Drakneil uses fire, Gajeel Redfox is known for iron, and finally Wendy Marvell is known for sky or shall I say wind magic! I will able to slay them with my magic and this coin." He said.
"Interesting, dragons here are disguised as humans and have to smoke a cigarette to keep the fire as a disguise," I said.
He laughed a bit and said, "That sounds ridiculous!"
I smirked and said, "From what you told me, I can't wait to see what these three can do."
He nodded.
Meanwhile…
"Let me get this straight! Nicodemus has sent some guys to take your daughter and my niece to Demonreach is the same island where we almost died even when the old Winter Lady tried to end the world?" Thomas asked.
I had Michael drop us off at Thomas; place which he kind of resisted at first but I had a feeling that Thomas would be handy and called Murphy on top of it. I did notice how she smiled when she came in with her guns at her belt and her newer armor that Charity had made her after the last visit Nicodemus had made.
"Is this place as dangerous as it sounds?" Natsu asked as he ate another lit log that Sarissa made for him.
"Doesn't that hurt?" Thomas asked him."
No! I eat fire to keep magic powerful!" he answered.
"I did see Gajeel eat nails like potato chips at breakfast so I believe it!" Sania exclaimed.
"Well, Demonreach is known for being an islad that is hard to be found on maps because people used to live there a very long time ago and vanished!" I told him.
"What? How?" Grey asked.
"Not sure, people thought it was a curse or in our realm as wizards it might have been the monsters kept in the caves underground that were almost unleashed a little while back." I answered.
"Monsters?" Happy asked nervously.
"I don't want to get into the full history but I have been living there for a while to keep them at bay and knowing Nick, he mighgt have taken my daughter as a major bit of revenge for almost killing him in the water there during winter a few years back or when Mab and I fooled him recently." I answered.
"It could be both!" Tessa exclaimed from her little corner. "You have been a major thorn in our sides and no matter what we do you won't stay down!"
I glared icicles at her and she stayed in her corner.
"Wait, what about Michael, shouldn't he be here?" Juvia asked."
Well, he got hurt really badly that same winter I was on the island to save Johnny and a little girl that they wanted to change into one of them." I said.
"That is why we're here to take up the slack until someone takes his place!" Butters exclaimed.
"So Boss, what is the plan? We hit him dead on or just sneak around?" Molly asked."
Since I am bonded with the island, I would say Fairies stay close to me!" I answered.
"What do you mean stay close to you?" Carla asked.
"Well Mary Poppins, you are not from this world and if you get lost on that island you won't find your way back without the right trail." I answered.
"He does have a point." Thomas said.
"How do you bond with an island?" Happy asked.
I sweat nervously since everyone cracked jokes when I mentioned it while the White Council, well mostly my grandfather, Ebeneiser McCoy, got mad about it and warned me the effects of what I have done. It proved handy since it gave me what the creature sees on the island.
"I'd rather not get into that right now." I said instead since they wouldn't understand the magic I used.
"Anything else?" Grey asked.
"
Keep a look out for Nicodemus' men and those dark guild guys if they decide to hide." I answered.
"Those dark guild guys are a piece of cake! They don't have the Faerie Queen magic we have!" Natsu exclaimed.
"Aye!" Happy exclaimed.
"Looks like we take on the fire power while they take on the magic power." Murphy said.
"Fix and I can help since I can manipulate trees and bushes." Sarissa said.
"Good! That means I can freeze them!" Molly exclaimed.
"Then that's a plan then!" I exclaimed.
We got to the docks where the Water Beetle was tied up. Gajeel and Natsu went pale when they saw it.
"Don't tell me you get sick on a boat as well?" I asked.
"Anything that moves makes them sick." Panther Lily answered.
"Wendy?" Carla asked.
"One step ahead of you!" she exclaimed and she casted the spell and we all got onto the boat where Thomas untied the boat and started it up and we were off.
As we sailed, both Gajeel and Natsu hit the side of the boat and threw up over the railing.
"I guess the spell didn't work!" Juvia exclaimed.
"Well, I keep on saying it does get weaker and I guess the Summer magic won't keep it as strong as everyone hopes." Wendy said.
"At least it wasn't on my boots." Murphy said.
"At least we're not on a train then." Butters said.
"They even acted like this during the Grand Magic Games when they were on a train as one of the challenges." Erza said.
He snickered a bit.
"I take these Grand Magic Games are like the Olympics here?" Molly asked.
"If you're thinking that they have gaming events? Yes." Erza said.
"Interesting, never thought you guys would compete in something like that." Sarissa said.
"It tests how guilds are able to work with each other and then fight one on one against each other." Lucy said.
"No wonder you were able to take on a good portion of the maze." Butters said to Wendy.
We got to the island and I noticed a figure on the dock and knew that we were going to have a welcoming party from someone that I made a strong bond with over time.
Author's Comemntary
Hey guys! Back with another commentary and chapter! I am not sure if you guys have been paying attention to Death Battle, if you don't know what that is to anyone new here it is basically if you pit characters each other with their skill and even magic to see who would win. If you remembered the Deadliest Vampire Part 2 from Second Vampire Chronicle, I based that on Death Battle.
Anyways, their next match is Natsu against Ace from One Piece which is an interesting match up since they did have Erza against Zorro. I wanted to bring this up knowing that there are a lot of Natsu fans and heck I do have a wallscroll of him and Grey on my wall. It will be an interesting match since we already know how much One Piece can get in ridiculousness. So, check it out when you can including Erza's fight! Stay tuned for the next match!
