Chapter 28
"you wanna get an inn for the night?" Lucy asked as the group walked down a country road, "Natsu?"
Lucy looked over her shoulder to see him staring at a nearby clock tower, "what's up buddy?" Happy asked
"didn't I destroy this?" Natsu wondered
"yeah" Happy said, "glad they managed to fix it"
"yeah but there is a weird border between the old and new" Natsu noticed, "maybe we should destroy it again"
"don't even think about it" Lucy hit him over the head
"come on I wanna let loose" Natsu said as he punched the air, "what's the point of all that training, I wanted to beat up Gray and then take on Erza"
"trust me she would destroy you" Kalex commented
"well I can still take you on" Natsu got in to a fighting stance
"oh bring it flame brain I'll fry you" Kalex said as his body was consumed by black lightning
"I said no" Lucy hit them both over their heads, "anyway you two bone heads aren't the only ones who've been training"
"so you wanna fi….." Natsu stopped as his ears pricked and he spun around shooting a fireball between Lucy's legs
"what the hell was that?" Lucy asked as she closed her legs
"good but you missed one" Kalex shot a lightning bolt that missed Lucy's ear by millimetres
"show off" Natsu mumbled as he walked off
"seriously what was that about?" Lucy asked as she followed them
Down the road a man ran after his carriage as men taunted him from on top of it, "please my entire life is in there" he pleaded as the overweight man tried to run after them
"finders keepers" one of the thieves mocked as he showed the man his behind, "if you want it so bad come and take it"
As the two on top continued to taunt the man a fireball hit them both and sent them to the ground as the driver looked surprised. The driver was about to speed off but he was hit by a lightning bolt and the shocked and confused carriage owner simply took back his stuff.
The wizards soon made it to an inn where they settled down for the night and discussed their plan to reunite Fairy tail, "from here we head southeast" Lucy said as she looked at a map, "that will take us to Margaret city and to Lamia scale"
"Jura and Lyon's guild" Natsu said, "they will be a good test for my new power"
"yeah but someone else is in Lamia scale as well" Lucy said
"can you two shut up and go to sleep" Kalex shouted at them from his bed, "it's getting late"
Morning came and the mages made it to Margaret city by the afternoon, they found the city in celebration as people walked the streets and brought things from stalls.
"wow it's almost like Fantasia" Natsu commented as he looked at all the decorations and people
The four made their way to a crowd gathered around the stage where members of Lamia scale were putting on performances for the crowd. As the guilds master was dragged off after her terrible performance Yuka, but with somehow bigger eyebrows, walked on to the stage.
"and what you have been waiting for" he announced as the crowd erupted in cheers, "the sky sisters, Chelia and Wendy"
The two girls walked out on to the stage in dresses and wings as the crowd went wild and the Fairy tail mages screamed in shock. A bigger surprise came when the two started to sing and dance on the stage.
"what the hell is she doing?" Natsu asked as he stared at the stage
"the song is catchy though" Kalex said as he listened
"yeah I know" Happy started to follow the girls moves
"yeah a lot of the others joins other guild to find work as well" Lucy explained
"speaking of the others" Happy said as he looked around the crowd, "where Carla?"
"I knew you'd appear eventually tom cat" a white haired girl with a cat's tail and ears walked up to the group, "sorry I mean Happy"
"who are you?" they all asked as the girl sighed
"follow me you lot" she walked off and they followed
"are we sure we can trust her?" Happy whispered to everyone
"well she knew your name so she must be trust worthy" Natsu said
"that is not a reason to trust someone Natsu" Lucy told him
"you trained your muscles but you didn't even bother with your brain" Kalex said
"I sometimes wonder if he sold his brain for something to eat" Happy said as the two laughed
The girl took them to the Lamia scale guild hall where they were greeted by Lyon, "always knew you would be back for her" he said as the mages walked in, "hey Wendy you got some visitors"
"NATSU, LUCY, HAPPY" Wendy ran over to greet them
"I came as well" Kalex grumbled as he stood in the corner
"you've gotten taller" Natsu said as he patted the girls head
"not by that much" Wendy said
"ok come on then" Natsu slung the little dragon slayer over his shoulder and started to walk out
"HEY COME BACK HERE" most of Lamia scale shouted
Lucy dragged Natsu back and made him put Wendy down, "fine" he said as he set Wendy down, "but we are going to need her if we are going to reform Fairy tail"
"so you're bringing back Fairy tail" Wendy said
"yeah the master has been missing for a year but we'll figure something out" Lucy told her
"he got in to a lot of trouble with the council when he disappeared" Lyon mentioned
"isn't the council dead?" Kalex asked
"the council was reformed with the ten wizard saints but Makarov disappeared" Lyon explained
"forget about that" Natsu said as he turned to Wendy, "come with us Wendy"
Wendy looked down for a few seconds before she answered, "I am part of Lamia scale now I can't go with you"
"WHY?" they all asked
"I'm sorry" Wendy said as she looked at her feet
"it's ok you can go with them" Lyon said, "we knew this would happen eventually"
"come on Wendy why?" Natsu asked
"i-i-I" Wendy stumbled over her words
"stop trying to force her she has already made her decision" the cat girl appeared again
"Carla…." Wendy looked up
"WAIT WHY ARE YOU HUMAN?" Natsu screamed in surprise
"it transformation magic" the cat explained as she turned back in to a cat, much to everyone's relief, "are you sure this is what you want Wendy?"
"yes I'm sorry Natsu, Lucy, Happy I'm a mage of Lamia scale now" Wendy told them although she didn't sound too sure
"might as well not be here" Kalex grumbled as he walked out
The four spent the night at an inn as Natsu tried to process what happened, "I just can't believe it" he kept saying as he walked aimlessly around the room
"I wonder if the others will feel the same way?" Lucy wondered
"well we can always start our own guild" Kalex said
"I'm not giving up" Natsu said, "if she won't come willingly then we can kidnap her"
"we can't do that" Lucy spoke up
"wait wait Lucy give it some thought, I know how to kidnap someone and Natsu wants to kidnap someone" Kalex listed off the 'reasons'
"those aren't good reasons to kidnap someone" Lucy told him
"never stopped me before" Kalex replied
Suddenly the sound of an explosion could be heard and the mages ran outside to see the Lamia scale guildhall in flames and monsters running through the streets as Lyon shouted out orders, "what's going on?" Natsu asked as they ran up to the ice mage
"a pack of monsters appeared and attacked the city" Lyon said as he froze on of them
"where did they even come from?" Kalex asked as he shocked more monsters
"we've been in a feud with the guild Orochi's fin" Lyon told them, "this must be them"
"a pack of atleast a 100,000 monsters is coming from the west" someone shouted
"that many could destroy the city" Lyon said as they prepared for battle, "they are crazy to go this far"
"it seems they have some summoners in their ranks" their master observed, "we need to go after them first"
"then we can attack from the air" Natsu said as he picked up Happy
"I'm with you Natsu" Wendy said
"so you'll help us?" Lyon asked
"of course we will" Natsu told him
"yeah I need to test out my new strength" Kalex said as he did some stretches, "Natsu barely gave me a warm up"
"I'll show you a warm up" Natsu mumbled as he got ready to fly
Just as Natsu was about to grab on to his cat, Chelia beat him to it and flew off with Wendy as Natsu screamed for her to bring Happy back. The sky sisters flew over the army of monsters and drop down on the enemy mages as they unleashed their breath attacks. They got to work taking out the mages as they tried to find the summoner among them.
Meanwhile in the city, Natsu ran straight through the monsters lines as he screamed about getting Happy back from that cat thief, "WAIT UP NATSU" Lucy screamed at him but he was gone
"I'll get him" Kalex said as he disappeared
Back with the sky sisters, Chelia and Wendy were making quick work of the Orochi's fin's mages and they had just spotted the summoner when a new mage appeared on the battlefield, "so you can fly, can you?" he asked, "well now you fall"
The sky sisters and the cats were slammed in to the ground as the gravity multiplied and the man known as Bluenot Stinger appeared above them. They tried to fight against the immense gravity but none of them could even move.
"there you are you cat thief" Natsu appeared and picked up Chelia like nothing was wrong
"hey Natsu Lucy said wait up" Kalex appeared, also oblivious to the situation
"how are they moving under my gravity" Bluenote asked himself
"oh my god it's Bluenote Stinger" Kalex said as he noticed the mage, "been a long time we met once on a job, remember?"
"now's not the time we're fighting here" Carla said
The fire wizard looked up at Bluenote as he tried to remember who he was but Bluenote wasn't taking any chances, he increased his gravity by tenfold and charged at the two standing mages, "now be crushed"
"I'll leave this one to you" Kalex said as he stood aside
"I don't know who you are but in your dream" Natsu sent Bluenote flying off in to the sky with a single flaming punch
After seeing that display of power from Natsu, Orochi's fin surrendered. As the city celebrated not getting destroyed, Wendy and Chelia had a little talk.
"that didn't go to plan" Chelia said, "I wanted to show you that I was the only one who could be your partner but Natsu kinda ruined it"
"well he is Natsu" Wendy let out a little laugh
"you have to go with him wendy" Chelia told her friend
"why?" she asked
"you love him don't you?" Chelia asked
"n-n-no way" Wendy stumbled out, "I mean I like him like a brother"
"well that is also love" Chelia looked at her friend, "if you don't go you'll regret it"
"but Chelia…" Wendy couldn't find the words
"even if we're in different guild we'll always be friends" Chelia told her, "plus I wanna fight you in the next grand magic games"
"sure" Wendy let out a laugh, "but I'll definitely beat you"
"in your dream" Chelia said as she embraced Wendy
By midday Wendy and Charla had said their goodbyes and were on their way with the rest of the Fairy Tail mages.
