Fairy Tail Next Generation

Chapter 35

Cali's POV

That dumbass. Where the hell could he be? Aw dammit - Nashi's still home isn't she, but he might be at the guild. Fuck. At least the doors got fixed sometime this morning. Okay here we go; one, two three! "Dumbass, where the fuck have you been?"

"He's not here Cali." Aunt Lucy appeared next to me with her hand on my shoulder.

"That dumbass." I pulled away from her grasp and walked over to the bar avoiding the giant fight happening in the middle of the guild. From what I could see, it was Natsu and Gray again. Juvia's in the back cheering on Gray and Jase is trying to calm them all down. Poor Jase. I'm surprised Erza hasn't stopped them yet. Then again she is in the middle of eating strawberry cake. She's got that creepy smile on her face again – it's creepier than usual though. Jellal must be coming to visit soon. Shit, I'm supposed to call him Mystogan. Crap I keep forgetting. Oh well. "Mira, when did you see dumbass last?"

"Good morning Cali, did you sleep well? I know that Gajeel and Lily got back last night. You probably already know that Lucy and Natsu are back too. Oh and Maximus just got a few minutes ago. I think he's getting lectured by Fried again. That poor boy. He expects him to be too much like Laxu-"

"Why are you avoiding my question?" I looked into the older woman's eyes and waited for my answer.

"I saw Felix last night. He was talking to Nashi then left." Mira scurried off to the sound of her own voice. Why was she so afraid to say that? Jeez. So where's that Flame Brain? She's got to know where he is. I know she's here, I can smell the brat. There – she's having her hair re-braided by Lucy while teasing Tatsu.

"Nashi, where's the dumbass?"

"I thought he spent the night with you?"

"NASHI! Have some respect, jeez."

"He left to go look for you and I haven't seen him since. See Mom that was an honest possibility." So she doesn't know either. Lucy tugged on Nashi's hair slightly to let her know to stop. Ha, won't be a pervert with your Mommy here. Stupid Salamander.

"What about you Tatsu, have you seen him?" I looked at Tatsu as he thought about it for a moment. He opened his mouth to talk when Natsu was thrown onto the table, crushing Tatsu and Nashi under him. Lucy knew better that to get caught up in that mess and left a.s.a.p.

"Dammit Ice bastard! Your gonna make me kill my kids! You'll pay for harming the Dragneel family!" Natsu stood and held up a fist as he yelled out these words.

"Yeah Uncle Ice Princess!" Nashi stood and held up her fist just as her father had done. Those damn idiots are too alike for their own good. I heard a groaning sound and looked down to the third fire user.

"I haven't seen him since he left last night. Now excuse me while I get out of here." Tatsu got up slowly before trying to leave. He didn't have a chance to get away before Nashi and Natsu grabbed him, lit him on fire, and threw him at Gray as if he were a weapon. These idiots are lucky he's fire proof. The fight grew larger as the Dragneel idiots went after a Fullbuster. Fucking idiots. All of them. Oh look, now Dad is here to join that fucking mess. Just fucking great. Where the fuck is Dumbass?

"BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM"

What the fuck was that? It came from outside? Everyone in the guild stopped what they were doing to look at the door. I looked upstairs real quick to make sure it wasn't Laxus. Nope, he was staring at the door along with everyone else. What the hell made that noise? Mira walked towards the door and opened it slightly. She peeked outside before opening the door all the way. She stepped outside for a moment before stepping back in with a paper. She read it over with a serious face as the door closed slowly. Then she looked around and made eye contact with me. Why is she looking at me like that? She looks like she might cry. What the hell is on that paper? Dad walked over to her and read the paper over her shoulder before looking up at me with a worried face. That's it. I'm going over there. I walked over at a normal pace, but Dad and Mira back away from me equally as fast. I sped up and they did the same. What the fuck is wrong with them? I ran as fast as I could and somehow caught them. Ripping the paper from Mira's hands I read the strangely written words slowly.

Dear Miss Cali Redfox,

In our custody we have a young man named Felix Okami. He is currently chained up and unconscious at our location. If you wish to see him again, then please pay us a visit.

Thank you.

P.S. We have not made a mistake by not informing you where our location is exactly. You will have to find us on your own. Call it a game if you will.

What the fuck is this? Dumbass has been kidnapped? How stupid does a person that tall have to be to get kidnapped? Jesus. He really is a dumbass. "Cali, are you okay?" I looked up to see that Lily, Stace, Tatsu, Emma, Nashi, Jase, Inu, and Luna had gathered around me as well and most likely read the letter over my shoulder. Lily looked at me intently awaiting an answer. What did they think, that this information would kill me or something?

"I'm fine. It seems that Dumbass has been kidnapped." I looked around at them and saw how pitiful their eyes looked. What in the hell? Dad placed and arm around my shoulder and led me away from them. He turned to me and sighed.

"Do you understand how serious this situation is?" He spoke to me using authority figure voice. I hate it when he uses that voice.

"Yeah."

"Cali."

"What?" I looked up at him and noticed how worried his eyes looked.

"It's okay to be freaked out right now. This is a scary thing. That little – uhh – Felix could be in serious danger right now. He isn't as strong as the rest of us you know. If it were you or me, they wouldn't have even made it as far as righting a letter. But Felix isn't us, and he isn't anyone else in this guild. You can have faith in him, but you need to understand that this isn't something he can fix easily. He needs help. –" Dad kept rambling on, but I tuned him out after a while. I got the point already. Everyone's looking at me like that cause they think I'm going to ignore this or something. I'm not stupid. If they would leave me alone for a fucking minute I would go save his ass. But they won't shut up. They won't stop looking at me like I'm some abused puppy. I'm not worried about him. I just need to go get him so he doesn't screw his self over. I can't believe he got himself kidnapped. That fucking dumbass. That stupid little shit. I'm not worried. I'm going to fucking kill him for being so fucking stupid. I'm not worried. I am so fucking pissed right now god dammit! That asshole is a complete brain damaged senseless fucking Neanderthal! I'm not worried. "Cali wait come back!" Hunh? I'm not in the guild anymore. I must have ran out at some point without realizing it. I still have the letter in my hand.

"CALI!" Why the hell is Jase yelling at me?

"What!" I keep running while I yell the word out. The water mage appeared before me and grabbed my shoulders stopping me dead in my tracks.

"We are coming with you. The letter was sent with Lightning Lacrima Mail Service. Which means that the return address is on there. We just can't see it." That would explain the big 'boom' from earlier. But why is Jase telling me that people are coming with me? What people?

"You two run too fast. Luna, you can figure out where it's from right?" Inu? Is he coming? Wait why is Luna taking the letter from me?

"Cali let go off the paper, I can use my magic to figure out where it's from. Thank you. Okay uhh, it's from a city named Citrus Heights. That's not too far from here, you should get a Magic Four-wheeler to get there. Here take these everyone." Luna handed Jase and I (Stace, Tatsu, and Emma as well) a small black tablet. It felt powdery and had the same gleam her illusion powder had. Wait, is this that powder compressed? And what the fuck is going on right now? I'm so fucking confused.

"What the hell is going on?" Everyone stopped inspecting the tablets and looked at me. Jase spoke up.

"Tatsu, Emma, Stace, and I are coming with you. Sorry. Inu and Luna are gonna stay back and keep our parents from coming after us. Unless we need them, then they will tell them where we are. We are going to help you get Felix. We won't let you go alone. I'm very sorry for not asking for permission before deciding." Jase bowed down and continued to mumble his apologies.

"Yeah sorry bitch. Nashi's gonna help Inu and Luna too. She's not here cause she's currently holding them all back. I don't know how she holds your dad back. Or Juvia for that matter. You owe her tiny tits, so you better remember to thank her when we get back." Screams and a small explosion erupted from the guild as the ginger whore said this. Jase continued his apologies.

"Felix is a member of our family now, there is no way in hell we will let someone hurt him." Emma smiled brightly and Tatsu nodded in agreement.

"Okay you guys need to get going. Nashi might not hold out much longer, Gajeel is really pissed that you left despite him saying he wanted you to stay here while he and the other S-Class wizards went to get Felix. Those tablets I gave you are made from my illusion magic. When you want to use them, just smash them while thinking about what you want the person to see. Then blow it in their face. Smash it by throwing it on the ground for it to work on a large group of people. Now get out of here and save him!" Luna and Inu ran towards the guild. Apparently my father thought I was listening to him while he talked. Everything is happening so fast. So Jase, Stace, Tatsu and Emma are coming with me to get dumbass from a city called Citrus Heights? What kind of name is that? Oh Jesus. Everyone's staring at me waiting for me to do something. God dammit Felix, you better make it up to me for this. I turned on my heel and ran for the closest Magic Four-wheeler.

Felix, you'll pay for this.
