Chapter 37

Andi and I were running through the forest part to make sure none of those black hooded guys were hanging behind. I bet you're wondering, "What happened to you two?" Well, Harry made us go off first once we got out of the NeverNever.

"Found anything out there?" I asked her.

She shook her head.

"I didn't find anything either." I told her.

She changed back and we decided to look for the others. As we approached the clearing leading to the abandoned buildings, we heard noises and I held up a finger to my mouth to signal to be quiet just in case anyone else out there might not be on our side.

She nodded in response.

We looked out and saw Thomas, Erza, Lucy, and Grey fighting some of the Black Hoods.

"Whoa, where's the Summer and Winter Ladies though?" Andi whispered.

I looked and spotted them and it seemed like they were watching their backs and the fights at the same time. I was more impressed at how the Fairy Tail guys are holding their own this time around! It looks like Lucy has three of her spirits out while Grey, naked as usual, was making ice pillars and spikes without any trouble, while Erza, she had some new kind of armor with snowflakes on them.

"Did Molly and Cerissa help them with all that?" I wondered aloud.

All of a sudden, I felt a cold wind and heard, "Hey! Get out here!"

"Hey whoa! It's us!" Andi yelled as she and I came out into the clearing.

"That's a relief! We thought you were a part of that Three Tail Thorn guild despite sending you two ahead of us!" Cerissa exclaimed.

"Which we didn't find any." Andi said.

"It looks like we got the most of them sent already after we found some of them down when we arrived." Cerissa said.

"Huh?" Andi asked.

"Well, there is a new part of the plan since Natsu tapped into the Layline by the looks of it." Molly said.

"And the others went to find him while we stay here while these take out the remaining goons." Molly said.

"That explains why Harry's not here." I said and then saw Grey and Lucy put the final moves down on their guys. "Looks like those two had a flawless victory."

Both Ladies went over and Molly sent the two downed guys to Mab while Cerissa handed Grey his clothing.

"Finally you two are back." He said as he got his clothing back on.

"There were no guys hiding by what we could find." Andi said.

"Shouldn't you put your clothes back on?" Lucy asked.

"Oh right! Butters honey!" she exclaimed.

I nodded and took my backpack off and handed her dress and she put it on. I noticed something was a little off until I heard Erza and Thomas take out the other guy and he was sent off."That should be the last of them, let's go find Harry and the others!" Cerissa exclaimed.

I put up my hand and asked, "Is it me or did that fight seemed to be a little too easy to you guys?" I asked them.

"What do you mean by easy? We were given a major power boost, why wouldn't it be easier for us right now?" Grey asked.

"I kind of noticed that two of them just fell not long after Andi and I came." I answered.

Erza thought for a moment and said, "You may be right, those guys didn't put much of a good fight even against me and Thomas."

"I did kind of notice his footing was off." Thomas said.

"One question, was there a four person?" Andi asked.

"No, just three." Lucy answered.

Then out of nowhere the earth shook and cracked around us and we all screamed. Molly formed a force field of ice and then Cerissa sent her fire butterflies at the trees to reveal a female wizard using Earth magic.

"So you found me out Fairy Tail! Where did your lovely wizard with the coat go? Did he run away to a far away place knowing he can't defeat my friends?" she asked.

"Tell us something, what happened to Natsu?" Erza asked.

She glared at her and said, "You mean Salamander? He was blown to pieces by the looks of it! He used some kind of Summer Dragon magic and it tapped into something after seeing his cat buddy go down."

"Summer Dragon? Oh no, he was able to use the summer power that Titania gave him that boosted his magic and made him not faint in this world due to the magical limits it has." Cerissa said.

"Oh ho! Sounds like you all cheated when we were using some kind of magical force to power us up in this world." The Dark Hood said and then punched the ground. "Looks like I have to get rid of you all before you try and find your friend if he's still alive!"

We felt the ground shake again and then Cerissa used her Summer magic by having the trees grab the wizard.

"The hell?" she asked.

"There is one thing you don't know about is that there are actual Faeries in this world!" Cerissa yelled.

"How is that possible?" she asked.

"Easy! They are stronger than you even if you didn't have the Layline to power you up!" Molly exclaimed and shown up behind her with what looked like an ice bat and let it go and it froze her.

"Whoa! Never thought you two could beat her so easily!" Erza exclaimed.

"Thought it would be better than waisting your magic on her when you all should save your magic for the big battle." Cerissa said as Molly sent the woman wizard off.

"Good point." Grey said.

We heard something shake the ground and saw smoke come from the area where the abandoned buildings stood.

"Sounds like a battle might be going on down there." Lucy said.

"We better get a move on!" Cerissa ordered and we headed in that direction and then saw the other White Council guys trying to keep the area stable with their own Earth magic.

"Where did Harry go?" Molly asked when she noticed Fix was with them.

Fix nodded towards a huge hole in the ground and I whistled when I saw it and said, "Natsu was able to do that?"

"By the looks of it, Harry, Gajeel, and Wendy went after them with the three cats."

"No way, how long ago?" Grey asked.

"For an hour or so." Ebeneiser answered.

"We hould head after them then." Erza said.

"How? You don't have cats like them do you?" Chandler asked.

"Not quite, I have something better! OPEN GATE OF THE MAIDEN! VIRGO!" Lucy exclaimed and the door opened with flower petals coming out and we saw Virgo in her maid outfit.

"You called me again Princess?" she asked.

"Yep! We need a tunnel in order to find Natsu!" she answered.

"You got it!" Virgo exclaimed and jumped and dove into the ground and made a hole.

"That's impressive, you use keys to call on zodiac spirits?" Martha Liberty asked Lucy.

"Yeah, somehow the celestial plane works here like in Fiore so I can call on them." Lucy said.

"Okay, enough with being impressed, we better get going! Who knows what else is going on down there!" Grey exclaimed.

"Good point!" Erza exclaimed.

"Looks like I'm going with!" Thomas exclaimed.

"We can use the non-magic power since this is a part of the magical Layline after all, so you guys should watch out with your spell slinging! Got it!?" Ebeneiser told us.

"Got it!" Erza exclaimed.

"One more thing, if things get rough Molly, you know what to do!" Luccio called out.

Molly nodded and we watched Thomas and the rest of Fairy Tail go down with the Winter and Summer Ladies.

"We should go down there as well, they may need us." Fix told me.

"Say what?" I asked.

"Look man, you have the Sword of Faith, it may be useful!" Fix exclaimed.

"You got a point and maybe this last Dark Hood may be powerful if he is doing a lot worse than his friends." I said.

"Be careful." Andi told me and kissed my cheek.

I nodded and the both of us followed them into the tunnel that Virgo had made.
