"No way am I going on that thing again!" Kaida said, backing away, "I'd rather stay on this island forever"

"Kaida, come on, don't you want to go back to Fairy Tail?" Lisanna gently coxed.

"Not if I have to take that thing!"

"Kaida, I'm going back, down you want to stay with me?" Lisanna asked.

"I do, but not if I have to take that thing again" Kaida shakily pointed her finger ahead.

"What's so bad about boats?" Max asked.

"They go over the sea," Kaida shuttered, "They're all a bunch of death traps!"

"Come on" Erza picked Kaida up and carried her onto the boat.

"Noo, let me down!" Kaida kicked and flailed her arms, "Yuck, please let me down, I hate the taste of metal!"

"Not until we've set out to sea" Erza replied.

"Noo, I'm going to die! I can't see anything!" Kaida curled up into a ball.

"Maybe you should try opening your eyes" Max suggested.

"Easy for you to say!" Kaida shot back, "You're so old, you're already corroding, so it won't be that much different! I'm not ready to die!"

Max's eye twitched, "Did you just call me old?"

"Yeah, what of it?!" Kaida growled.

"Kaida, what has gotten into you?!" Erza asked.

"It's that time" Happy covered his mouth to keep from laughing.

"When I get out of here," Kaida struggled to get free from Erza's grasp, "You're going to wish you've never been born!" Happy hid behind a puking Natsu.

"Seriously, Kaida, you've changed so much" Warren said.

"It's not my fault the Earth is being destroyed!" Kaida shouted, throwing a swing in Warren's direction.

"What does that have to do with anything?" Bisca asked.

"I'm a Ground Dragon slayer, old lady! Or have you forgotten?! Kids can do that to a person"

Bisca covered her mouth, "How did you…"

"I'm not an idiot like Flame Brain!" Kaida yelled.

"Kaida, calm down," Lisanna waited for Kaida to stop struggling, "Now what's this about the Earth?"

"The Earth is what gives me my power! Take that away and I have nothing!"

"But what does that have to do with you being angry?" Wendy asked.

"Because, the ground smells so much like Mamoruryu! It's like I'm watching them kill him!" Kaida cried.

"Who's Mamoruryu?" Droy asked.

"My dragon, idiot! I think you've gotten so heavy, you're slowing your brain down!" Kaida told him.

"She's got you there" Jet said. Soon the boat deported and Erza put Kaida down.

"Water… I'm doomed, no earth, just water" Kaida whimpered, curling into a ball and rocking back and forth.

"Kaida, calm down," Lisanna stroked her back, "It's going to be alright"

"Water" Kaida continued, not hearing Lisanna.

"What's so bad about water?" Droy asked, eating a turkey leg.

"Everything, corrosion, no land, even more corrosion" Kaida continued.

"Kaida, none of that is going to happen, you'll get back to Fairy Tail safely" Lisanna soothed.

"No...I won't" Kaida said, hyperventilating.

"How much longer is this going to go on?" Max asked.

"The entire trip" Lisanna answered.

"Oh, brother, maybe we should have let her stay behind" Max mumbled.

After a while, Lisanna cuddled up next to Kaida, putting her arm over Kaida's body. This just made Mira faint again and again.

"Is Mira ok?" Warren asked, "She's been fainting a lot"

"She'll be fine" Lisanna called from the room they had moved Kaida into so that everyone else could travel in peace.

"Land ahoy!" Elfman shouted from the crows nest, which he had apparently decided was 'Manly'

"Land! Where?!" Kaida shot up and ran up to the deck!, "Yes, finally!"

"Kaida, good to see you're up" Erza said, quietly sipping a cup of lemonade. Natsu and Gray were passed out on the ground next to her, each sporting big bumps on their heads.

"Why wouldn't I be, I heard land?" Kaida said, excited.

"So all we had to do was say 'land ahoy' and you would have stopped grumbling?" Max asked. Kaida punched him in the gut, "Don't talk so freely about land unless you want me to toss you overboard so you can die a painful death by corrosion"

"Kaida, how many times do I have to tell you, normal people can't corrode" Lisanna said, coming up.

"Since when has any of us ever been normal?" No one could argue with that.

Did any of you actually think I was going to kill someone? Please tell me in the comments down below.

So we found out why Kaida has been acting so grumpy lately. Everyone is now going back to the guild, but what will they find after being gone for seven years?
