So...its been while.
First off, I just want to apologize for taking so long. Last chapter I promised faster updates...and didn't deliver. I honestly feel really guilty. I love this story yet I've probably put the least amount of time and effort into this. But I wanna change that. Here's what I'm gonna do. After this chapter, I'm gonna update all my other stories and then I'm gonna focus mainly on this one as well as me recently made Bakugan and Loud House fic. I'm done with not giving this story the attention it deserve's. You all deserve that.
Also, thank you all so much for sticking around. Despite the time it takes to update, you're all still following me and even more people have been finding my story and giving it favs and follows. I can't thank you enough and I hope to make this story great for all you!
"Ok so let me get this straight!" Zane yelled as he, Gray, and Natsu faced down Lyon. Currently Lucy, Happy, and Laki were heading back to the village to warn them about Big eyebrows, Dog-Man, and the chick in Gothic Lolita and their plans to destroy the village. Hopefully they would be able to work with the villagers to stop them. So this left the remaining three Fairy Tail members to fight against Lyon. "So, you and this guy right here used to train under the same master? There's some demon named Deliora frozen underneath his temple, and this whole thing has been about this ceremony to produce something called Moon Drip to melt the ice, freeing said demon. Am I correct?"
"In a nutshell pretty much." Lyon responded instead with a grin on his face. "Of course, he's still missing some of the finer details. Why don't you tell them the real story Gray!"
"That's enough out of you!" Gray yelled back, his voice filled with nothing but rage and anger towards fellow ice wizard. "I won't let you undo what our master did! Ice Make-"
"Gray wait!" Natsu and Zane said in unison as Gray was quick to start charging in attacking, which was usually Natsu's strategy.
"Hammer!" Gray didn't listen and instead proceeded to use his magic to create a giant hammer of ice to smash down on Lyon only for-
"Hmph, how pathetic." Suddenly a giant ice gorilla appeared from a magic circle Lyon made with only right hand. The ice gorilla easily smashed the hammer in its arm before swinging its other hand at Gray. Thankfully the onyx haired wizard managed to jump out of the way as the gorilla shattered into shards after failing to land the blow. "You still use two hands to cast spells."
"Yeah because that's how Ur taught us!" Gray yelled at Lyon as he got his hands ready for another attack. This was the first time Zane had heard the name Ur. But Natsu and the others learned that this was the name of Gray and Lyon's old master and teacher. The one who taught them Ice Make magic in the first place. "One handed spell casting is unstable and unreliable!"
"Maybe for you and Ur, but not me." Lyon boasted while his tone remained the same its been since they first encountered him. "I have surpassed her in both skill and strength."
"You shut your mouth!" Gray said through his teeth, absolutely livid at the statement Lyon just made.
"So, should one of us jump in or…" Zane said awkwardly as they simply watched Gray and Lyon go at it and were ready to jump in just in case.
"All I know is that I wanna get a good fight in!" Natsu growled as he cracked his knuckles. "I don't know about all of you but I feel like I've been standing around doing nothing for months!"
…
…
…
"Anyway…" Zane said awkwardly as he swore, he could hear the sounds of crickets just then. "Maybe lets give him a bit and see how he handles it and then we go and jump in."
"Fiiiiiine…" Natsu groaned out, he was already impatient enough as it is and this wasn't helping at all. He wanted to burn something or someone damn it!
"Ice Make: Seven Sword Dance!" Slamming a fist into his open palm, Gray created seven sharp ice blades into the air that all started to shoot down towards Lyon. The other ice-make wizard simply stood his ground and help one arm out and created an ice barrier that blocked the swords almost effortlessly.
"Hm, weak, just like when we were kids." Lyon simply said which further pissed of Gray as he got ready to launch another attack.
"Alright that's it!" Natsu yelled as he started charging forward with his fist on fire. "I'm not just gonna stand around anymore! I'm coming!"
"Natsu wait!" Zane called out to the pinkette as he started running after him.
"You two stay outta this!" Gray yelled at them as this fight was between him and Lyon. No one else. Plus, it also served as a warning for what he knew what would happen if those two got close.
"Fools." Lyon said as he held his hand out and started generating a large gust of freezing cold wind that surrounded the area around them. While it didn't affect Gray since he was an ice wizard, but with Zane and Natsu the chilling wings just surrounded them causing them to come to a halt.
"Hey! What's going on?!" Natsu yelled as ice started to cover and surround both him and Zane.
"I can't…move!" Zane grunted as Natsu and Zane were now trapped in balls of ice with only their heads, upper parts of their arms, and their lower legs and feet, and tail in Zane's case, sticking out of the ice. "What the hell is this ice made out of!" Despite their struggles, the ice didn't seem to budge.
"Hm, so this is all that your allies have to offer." Lyon said as he raised his hand up once more as it started to glow. "How disappointing that these are the wizards you chose to stick around with Gray."
"Don't think this is over yet buddy!" Natsu said as, with some effort due to being trapped in ice mostly, turned to face Lyon. "Don't underestimate Fairy Tail buddy!"
However, once Natsu said this, Gray suddenly came up to him and tipped his ice-trapped body and sent Natsu rolling of the temple and into the jungle. "What the heck Gray!?" Zane yelled as he watched the pinkette scream and roll away at high speeds. "What was that for?!"
"No time to explain." Gray quickly said as he walked over to Zane. "You gotta get going to!"
"Oh, I don't think so!" Zane quickly retorted as he clenched his fist and started powering up. "I can get out of this!"
"Please, a mere child has no hope of breaking my ice." Lyon boasted with a smirk as his hand glowed brighter. "Now you can either join were rollie pollie friend, or die here."
"There's a third option." Zane said with a smirk on his face as his hair started to rise. "I kick your ass into the ground! Kai-o-Ken!"
"Kai-o-What?" Lyon questioned when-
SMASH!
"HERE I COME!" Zane yelled as he broke free of the ice sphere thanks to the Kai-o-Ken attack doubling his power. With body letting out a pure red aura, Zane zoomed in front of Lyon and landed a punch dead on in the middle of his face, right between the eyes.
Lyon screamed in pain as his helmet broke and he was sent flying to the far edge of the temple, narrowly avoiding falling off similar to Natsu. "And you wanted me to leave." Zane said in a cheeky tone towards Gray who simply scoffed in response as Lyon started to pick himself up.
Lyon winced as he touched the spot that Zane punched before gritting his teeth and tightening his fist in response. With his helmet gone, they were able to see Lyon had pale blue hair and black eyes. "Little brat…" Lyon said as he made some ice over the wound to seal it up. "You got lucky that time."
"Nickel for every time I heard that." Zane quipped as he and Gray got into fighting positions.
"I suppose maybe I shouldn't underestimate you." Lyon stated as he cracked his neck and got into a fighting position. A grin then came onto the Cold Emperor's face as cold mist came out of his hands. "Of course, this also means I don't have hold back!"
"Just leave this guy to me Zane." Gray told the young monkey tailed boy as he got ready for another ice-make spell. "This is between me and Lyon."
"Yeah how about no." Zane immediately responded with his he took off his weighted gi but left on his boots and wrist bands. "So far this guy wasn't fazed by any of your attacks and is able to use one hand casting. You need me."
"I'd listen to the boy if I were you Gray." Lyon told Gray with a calm but mocking tone towards his fellow ice make wizard. "You never were able to beat me on your own. Not once since we were kids. Maybe you'll actually get a punch in with some help."
Gray growled in response. He's had just about enough of this guy. First trying to revive Deliora, then ordering the attack on the innocent villagers, saying he was stronger than Ur, and now this. Pretty much all of Gray's buttons. "You're mine Lyon!" Gray said as he charged at his rival/enemy.
"Damn it Gray!" Zane yelled as he quickly took off flying after his fellow Fairy Tail member.
"Ice-Make Drill!" Gray casted as a giant drill of ice quickly started rotating and shot itself towards Lyon who simply stood his ground.
"Childs play." Lyon called out as he used one hand to cast a spell again. "Ice-Make Snow Tiger!" From Lyon's magic circle came a massive tiger made entirely out of ice. The snow tiger grabbed the drill with its mouth and proceeded to crush Gray's creation into tiny ice shard before slashing Gray with its claws causing Gray to yell out in pain as his shirt was torn clean off and three cuts were made on his chest.
"Why do I have to do everything?!" Zane yelled in irritation as he rose his hands above his hand. He swore, until Lucy came along he was one of few rational people in the guild. At least he usually liked to think of a plan! "Masenko-Ha!" Zane then fired a beam of yellow energy that easily pierced the Snow Tiger and shattered it.
Lyon's eyes widened as the energy attack approached him but he had managed to jump out of the way before it hit him. But right as he was about to face his opponent Zane was quickly in Lyon's face and grabbed the ice mage by his cloak and threw him over his shoulder followed by an energy blast to the stomach that sent Lyon flying.
"My turn!" Gray yelled as he looked at the air born Lyon. "Ice-Make Knuckle!" Gray then created a giant ice fish that Lyon didn't have the time to dodge as the fist hit him and sent him high up into the sky.
Lyon growled as he managed to recovered in mid air and stuck his left arm out. "Ice-Make Eagle Storm!" Being created from the magic circle was a large swarm of dozens of ice eagles that came crashing down on the group causing them to block with their arms.
"Got a plan for this?!" Gray yelled as he made himself an ice shield only for the eagles to fly around him and hit Gray in the back.
"Oh so now you want to make a plan?!" Zane yelled in relation as he either dodged or blocked the Ravens. "Ok! I have one new technique I saw recently! Never tried it before so don't know how well its gonna go but I need you to distract him for the best odds!"
"Alright then!" Gray said as he recovered from the ice race onslaught and slammed a fist into an empty palm. "Ice-Make Cannon!" Appearing in Gray's hands was an ice rocket launcher that the Fairy Ice Mage aimed at Lyon and fired a giant ball of ice at Lyon.
Lyon growled as he saw the attack approaching him and quickly retaliated. "Ice-Make Wings!" With a magic circle appearing on his back, wings of ice appeared on Lyon allow him to stay airborne. "Ice-Make Pufferfish!" Lyon then created a giant ice puffer that he sent down towards Gray's own attack with the two canceling each other out and send thousands of ice shards flying and created a giant cloud of mist.
"Alright! My turn!" Zane said as he created two spheres of yellow energy in his hands and started firing blast willy nilly towards Lyon.
"Shit!" Lyon cursed as he saw the energy blast barrage coming at him. The Cold Emperor reacted quickly as he started to dodge the attacks with relative ease. Lyon smirked as he simply dodged the attack that just kept coming and coming…in fact…they seemed way too easy to dodge. But Lyon didn't seem to notice.
But he soon grew suspicious as at some point, he realized he didn't even have to dodge as the attacks as they simply grazed past him. "You really need to work on your aim child." Lyon told Zane, who continued his barrage. "Its honestly just sad at this point."
"Then here! I'll give you something to dodge!" Gray yelled as he got ready to cast another spell. "Ice-Make Shuriken!" Gray then motioned his arms in a throwing position as he sent out giant ninja star made of ice at Lyon. He had to distract Lyon so Zane could get his attack off.
"Pathetic!" Lyon yelled as he held his right arm out. "Ice-Make Snow Dragon!" Emerging from the giant magic circle Lyon created was a gigantic dragon made out of ice came charging at Gray. The Ice Dragon effortlessly shattered the Ice Shuriken in its way and continuing charging at Gray.
"Gray!" Zane yelled as he stopped his barrage. "Dodge!"
"Dodge wh-" However, right as Gray said that the ice dragon crashed into him creating an explosion of mist and ice shards.
"Huh…that is more distracting then helpful." Zane commented as he remembered his dream from earlier with the Androids and Namekian. But Zane quickly shook is head to get his focus back. "GRAY! ARE YOU OK?!" Zane didn't get a response and looked to see the mist clear and when it was gone, he saws Gray laying on his back barely conscious. His cloths that he still had one were torn, the three scratches he got from the Snow Tiger opened up a bit and were leaking blood. The damage the ice Dragon made was immense as it covered Gray's body with bruises and cuts that were leaking blood.
"Oh don't worry about him." Lyon told Zane with a cocky smirk on his face. "You'll be in a similar state soon enough boy. I don't care that you're a child, to me, you're just another obstacle in my way."
"An obstacle that you're not getting past." Zane said with his own smirk on his face. "I'm stronger than I look."
"Maybe, but all the strength in the world means nothing if you can't hit your target." Lyon explained to Zane with crossed arms. "If you keep aiming like that your have less of a chance at beating me then Gray."
"Who said I was aiming at ya?" Zane said with a hint of deviousness in his voice. Lyon raised a brow in response as Zane went on. "You seemed to have forgotten the most basic rule of fighting."
"And what would that be?" Lyon asked in a bored tone.
Zane then raised his hand with his fingers in a snapping motion. "Always be aware of your surroundings."
Lyon hummed in response before he saw something glowing at the corner of his eyes. Turning around, he gasped as his eyes widened at what he saw. The yellow orbs Zane fired were all floating behind him, surrounding him from almost all angels. "Oh…crap baskets…" Lyon let out as he looked at the dozens of yellow orbs surrounding him.
"Hell Zone Gernade!" Zane yelled with the snap of his fingers.
'Shit…its even got a cool name.' Lyon thought before-
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!
All the orbs around Lyon proceeded to all strike him and exploded at once creating in a large explosion that forced Zane to hold his ground and made Gray get blown back a bit, not doing his current state to well. "Huh…can't believe that worked." Zane said with a smirk. For a first time using a technique, not to shabby he had to admit.
When the smoke cleared, it showed Lyon slowly going down to the ground due to his wings being almost completely broken. His body was covered in ice as he covered his body in ice armor at the last second to protect himself from the attack. It only worked so much as he still sustained heavy damage as his cloak was hanging together by threads, some of his cloths were torn, his body had scraps and bruises, and he was panting heavily.
"So, how's the mighty Cold Emperor doing now?" Zane mocked as Lyon landed on the ground and growled at Zane. "Up for round two?"
Lyon growled even harsher as he ripped his cloak off and tossed it to the side. "Gladly." He wasn't about to let some brat show him up. Time to stop pulling punches, this kid was dead. "Ice-Make Wolf!" With a loud howl, and ice wolf started charging at Zane at high speeds.
"Two can play that came!" Zane countered as he got into position. "Wolf Fang Fist!" With the outline of wolf claws appeared on Zane's fist as he started striking the ice wolf with the martial arts technique. However, this wolf proved to be tougher than the rest of Lyon's creation and actually started striking back and biting Zane in the arm.
"Ouch! You son of a-" Zane cut himself off and as he managed to smash the wolfs head into dust when-
"Ice-Make Water Serpant!" Lyon was suddenly behind Zane and used his hand to create a spiral of water around the monkey tailed boy and froze around him and trapping him. "I've had enough of these games! Ice-Make Dragon Fly!" Lyon then unleased a barrage of tiny little dragon flies at Zane that all struck the trapped Strauss like tiny stinging needless.
'D-Damn it!' Zane grunted in his mind as he struggled to break free of the even stronger ice. 'This guy's stronger than I thought! Can't sense his power level due to this weird energy around the island. Better wrap this up quickly incase he's got anything up his sleeve.'
"Ok, probably gonna regret this later, but on the bright side, should give me one heck of a power boost when I recover." Zane told himself as he endured the ice barrage and shouted at the top of his lungs. "Kai-o-Ken Times Three!"
"Times what-UGH!" Lyon was cut off by Zane breaking out of the ice and rushes towards him faster then his eyes could track and getting roundhouse kicked in the gut and sending him flying back at high speeds. Zane, now with an even more intense Kai-o-Ken aura, sped behind Lyon to where he was flying towards and axe kicking the Cold Emperor's back and sending him flying into the air with Zane chasing after him and slapping Lyon down and nailing him to the very center of the top of the temple they were fighting on.
"Alright! Now to finish this!" Zane said as he flied right above Lyon and cupped his hands together to make a diamond shape.
"Dream on child." Lyon said as he stood up on his feet and wiped some blood from his lip and took some deep breathes. "You may have gotten some good hits on me; I'll give you that. You're a lot stronger than most I've fought, even Gray. But if you think I'm going down now then you have another thing coming."
"Then lets see how you handle this!" Zane said as he aimed his diamond-cupped hands at Lyon before shouting. "SHIN-KIKOHO!"
A large wave of energy then started approaching Lyon at a rapid pace as the Cold Emperor stood his ground. "Oh, that's adora-SHIIIIIIIIIIT!" The energy wave then crashed down on Lyon and sent him crashing down through all the floors of the temple creating square shaped holes.
"Suck on…that…" Zane said as he took heavy breaths with his body feeling incredibly strained due to both Kai-o-ken, Kai-o-ken times 3, and the Kikoho all drained him substantially. 'Huh…surprised I'm still standing and-oh there we go.' And with that, Zane fell to the ground.
"Oh Kami…oh dear Kami…everything hurts." Zane grunted between breaths as he could hardly move his body at that point. If anyone came up here…he wasn't sure if they'd make it. Both him and Gray were down for the count. They just didn't have the strength to fight back. "Where's an…Ex Machina…when you…huh, what's that?"
Zane had ended up spotting someone out of the corner of his eye. A green bean. One of the many he stuffed into his pockets earlier. He was honestly surprised they all survived the fight and that one bean was the only one that fell out of his pocket. "Well…got nothing else better to do." Zane told himself as he managed to move his arm to pick up and bean and move it to his mouth. Zane then ate the bean and-
"Woah!" Suddenly Zane was covered in his signature white aura as suddenly all the injuries on his body disappeared and Zane felt like all of his strength came back and then some due to that strange power boost he gets whenever he recovers from being drastically injured. "Ok, these beans are my new best friend."
"ACHOO!" Laki sneezed as currently she was working with Lucy, Happy, and the villagers on the island to prepare for Lyon's minions to come attack them.
"You ok?" Lucy asked in some concern for the ivory haired girl due to how intense the sneeze.
"Yeah…just…" Laki said rather slowly. "I just got a…weird feeling of replacement. Eh, I'm sure its nothing."
"Ok, now to help Gray." Zane said as he walked over to Gray who was started to bleed more. "Yeah let's get you fixed up. Beans don't fail me now." Zane then took one of the many green beans out of his pocket and opened up Gray's mouth to put it in.
Once the bean was inside, the Onyx haired mage subconsciously chewed on it before swallowing. Once the bean was inside his belly, it quickly did its magic and Gray shot up wide awake with all of his injuries healing up. "Woah! Where am I?! What happened?! Where's Lyon!?" Gray was quick to asking questions once he was up.
"You're still on the temple, I took care of Lyon and…I took care of Lyon." Zane answered all of Gray's questions.
"Wait, you beat Lyon?!" Gray asked Zane in a tone of shock and disbelief.
"Wouldn't say beat, more so just swatted him away for now. It took everything I had." Zane told him rather grimly with a lowered head. "He'll be back soon. We should probably get back to the village and think of a game plan."
"Yeah, guess you're right." Gray agreed as he stood up. He then looked over his body and noticed all of his wounds were gone and every bit of magic energy he used up was back. "What did you do by the way? I feel good as new!"
"Let's just say this island would making a killing selling beans." Zane told Gray with a grin which only served to confuse Gray.
"Alright! Finally made it!" The familiar voice made itself known to the two as they looked to the stairs that led to the top of the temple where they were at the moment. They ended up seeing the rather funny sight of Natsu, still trapped in the ball of ice, waddle up the stairs and to the top of the temple.
"Wow, you made the entire trip like that?" Zane said as he looked over Natsu's icy prison. "Not sure whether to be impressed or laugh hysterically."
"Never mind that!" Natsu yelled at Zane before glaring at Gray and doing his best to point at him. "What was that for you jerk?! You just sent me rolling off the temple!"
"Sorry about that." Gray apologized with a lowered head. "I thought I had to do it myself…"
Natsu glared at Gray in silence for a few more moments before speaking. "Well that's not how we do things." Natsu told his rival. "We're Fairy Tail. That means we fight together…and we die together."
Gray silently gasped at what Natsu said before giving a tiny smile and scratching the back of his head. "Yeah…guess you're right." Gray admitted, making Zane and Natsu smile.
"Good. Now then…" Natsu said before-
"NOW GET THIS ICE OFF ME!"
"Hey Lucy, I really hate to break it to you but I think you might be stupid." Happy told Lucy with a few sweat drops on his face. Currently Lucy had just finished her plan to trap Lyon's incoming minions and it…wasn't the best.
"Wow, thanks for the encouragement there Happy." Lucy said with her voice dripping of sarcasm.
"He…kinda has a point Lucy." Levi said sheepishly as she looked at what Lucy had come up with a sweat drop. "I mean come on, that's the oldest trick in the book."
"Don't be silly!" Lucy said with confidence as she gestured to her brilliant plan…a pitfall trap. "A pitfall trap works every time!"
"But you can tell what is it just by looking at it…" Happy explained as it was obvious to see the grass covering the hole contrasting with the rest of the ground around the area.
"Maybe if we put wooden spikes at the bottom…" Laki thought while putting a hand to her chin as she thought about using her wood-make magic in order to put spikes at the bottom of the hole.
"WHAT ARE YOU A SADIST?!" Lucy screamed at Laki. They were trying to catch the bad guys not murder them gruesomely! "Anyway, it doesn't matter if they can see it, there's only one way into the village so if they want in, they have to go over it."
"Well I still don't think there's any way they'll fall for it." Happy said bluntly.
"Um, me either." A green demon women agreed with the blue cat.
"I'm sorry but I agree with them." A red demon man agreed as well.
"Yes. I have to concur." Lucy's spirit, Virgo, a main spirit with pink hair, blue eyes, and chains on her wrist, agreed with the majority. It was Virgo herself who dug the hole with her power.
"Not you to!" Lucy yelled in surprise, expecting her spirit to take her side with this plan. She then glared at the group around her and said. "Go ahead and doubt me you'll see."
"Miss Lucy!" One of the look outs to the village called to Lucy as he looked over the walls. "It looks like there's someone heading this way!"
"That must be them." The blond assumed. "Open the gates!"
"Right!" The look out said as he and a few other demons got to opening the gates and-
"So wait you make your hands into a diamond shape and make square explosions…how does that make sense?!"
"Hey man, I don't make the techniques, I just use em."
"Well at least it shook off Lyon. Takes a lot out of you though."
Everyone in the village gasped as they saw Natsu, Zane, and Gray running towards the village, not even looking forward where the hole was. Thanks to Zane, Natsu was no free of his icy prison. "Natsu! Zane! Gray!" Lucy called out to in a panic as they saw them approaching her hole trap.
"Oh! Hey Lucy!" Natsu said as he looked and waved at the blond as the three continued moving forward.
"STOOOOOOOP!" Lucy and Laki yelled in unison causing the three of them to quickly stop when they were only a few steps away from the hole.
"Why? What's wrong?" Zane asked as he quickly started looking around for any potential trouble that may be around.
Everyone watching sighed in relief that the male Fairy Tail members avoiding falling in the hole. "Hey, what's with this grass?" Gray asked as he, Zane, and Natsu looked forward to see the grass covered pitfall just inches in front of them.
Lucy, Laki, Happy and the villagers gasped as Natsu actually took a step forward and onto the grass and triggering the trap and sending Natsu falling down to the bottom. "Really Natsu?" Gray and Zane deadpanned at seeing the pinkette willingly step onto the grass and fall down.
"Ow…" Natsu groaned from the bottom of the hole.
"I'll go get em." Zane sighed as he floated down the hole to go get his friend out.
"He actually fell for it…" The red demon said with disbelief.
"Sorry we doubted ya…" Another demon man apologized to Lucy.
"Its ruined…" Lucy groaned out with a lowered head.
"Alright who's the wise guy!" Natsu yelled as Zane flew him out of the hole. "We don't have time to play practical jokes on each other guys!"
"Don't look at me it was Lucy's idea." Happy explained with a shrug.
"I SHOULDA KNOWN!" Natsu roared as he gave Lucy an annoyed/angry look.
"It wasn't a practical joke it was supposed to be a trap!" Lucy quickly explained in a panicked tone, hoping to get her pyromaniac friend off her case and not cause any problems…or pain.
"Well, I'm glad you all made it back ok." Laki said in a relived tone as she approached the three male members. "How'd it go?"
"Well, about as well as you'd expect." Gray admitted as she scratched the back of his head. "We gotta outta there at least."
"Yeah, we managed to fend that Lyon guy off…barely." Zane followed up on. "Took both me and Gray everything we had to just fend him off. He'll be back."
"Wait, if it took you guys everything you had why don't you look injured at all?" Lucy said as she examined all three of the guys body's and noticed a distinct lack of wounds despite them telling her and the others about an intense battle.
"Oh, it's because of these things." Zane reached into his pocket and pulled out one of the many beans he took from the bean bushes on the island. "They just fixed us up completely! Even restored our magic."
"Wait, these things did all that?" Laki asked as she pulled a bean out of her own pocket. The ivory haired girl then turned to one of the village people and asked. "What kind of beans are these?"
"Oh, uh, let me see?" A female villager said as she took the bean from Laki's hand and examined it. "Oh! I know what these are! They're called Senzu Beans."
"Senzu Beans?" Natsu repeated as he scratched his head.
"Yep, but that's all we really know about them." Another female villager told the Fairy Tail members with a sweat drop. "We tried eating them once…and they didn't agree with us."
"Huh, weird. They worked miracles for us!" Zane explained to everyone as he put the bean back in his pocket. "Definitely taking some of these home."
"Just forget about the beans for two seconds!" Happy yelled, getting everyones attention. "We still need to prepare for that mask guys lackies to arrive!"
Everyone nodded at what Happy said…until Zane cupped his chin in thought. "Hey wait a second…how come they haven't shown up yet?" Zane asked as he crossed his arms and went into deep thought. "I mean we got her before they did and they left quite a bit before we started heading back."
"Yeah…that's a good question." Lucy said as she cupped her chin. "What's taking them so long?"
It didn't take long for something to happen right after that.
"Hey! Look over there!" The red demon man shouted as he pointed up at the sky. Everyone looked to where the demon was pointing…and their draw drops.
The giant rat Natsu, Lucy, Happy, and Gray encountered earlier that day was flying high in the sky by using its tail as a propeller while carrying a giant bucket with Lyon's three minions on its back.
"Son of a…" Zane slowly said as he watched the flying rat come closer. "Although…it gives me a strange sense of déjà vu…"
"THEY'RE FLYING?!" Lucy yelled out in shock at seeing a rat using its tail to fly. "NO MY PIT TRAP IS TOTALLY USELESS!"
On the rats back, Lyon's three minions were looking down at the village, taking notice of the Fairy Tail mages that had made it back. "I didn't realize double poison jelly would take so long to make." The pink haired one said as she looked in the giant bucket that was filled with a bunch of foul-smelling green jelly.
"You're timing was just right Sherry." The wizard with the big eyebrows said, revealing the pink haired girls name.
"Can we just get this over with please Yuka!" The dog-man begged as he plugged his nose. "This stuff smells awful!"
"Relax Toby." Yuka reassured his dog-like friend. "It'll be over soon."
"Mine, mine, mine, mine, mine…"
"We can not rest until the demon Deliera is revived for the Cold Emperor." Sherry explained in a dark tone as she looked down at the village they were planning on wiping out. "Anyone who dares to stand in our way must die."
"Mine, mine, mine, mine, mine, mine!"
"Wait, do you guys hear that?" Toby asked as he turned to his two teammates.
"Mine, mine, mine, MINE, MINE, MINE, MINE!"
"Yes, I do." Yuka said as he and Sherry looked around for the source. "It sounds like its getting closer."
"MINE! MINE! MINE! MINE! MINE!"
Sherry then looked off Angelica, her pet rat they were flying on, and her eyes widened at what she saw approaching them at a rapid place. "Wait what's tha-"
"MINE! MINE! MINE!"
SMASH!
Suddenly a black blur came in and hit Angelica right in the face causing the rat to go flying out and spin out a bit and drop the bucket. But quickly catching the bucket and being able to carry it with his immense strength was none other then Zane who had quickly sped in the air about the rat. "Mine." Zane said with a satisfied smirk on his face as he looked down and saw the acidic jelly in the bucket.
With the rat and the people ride it, Sherry was able to help get her pet back on focus and recover from the surprise attack and get back to flying straight. "Ok, how the hell is that kid doing all that?!" Toby yelled as he held on tightly to the giant rat's fur.
"Don't know but he's one of the wizards we encountered at the temple." Yuka said as he managed to stand back up and regain his footing on the rat.
"He's going to pay for that!" Sherry yelled with fire in her eyes for what that boy did to her precious Angelica. Angelica made a roaring squeak in agreement as she flew towards the monkey tailed boy that just knocked her out of the sky. "Alright boy, I hope your ready to face the punishment for hurting my darling Angelica!"
"Oh no, I'm so scared." Zane said with nothing sarcasm in his voice. "Meanwhile you were planning on dropping this entire bucket of acid on the village. Those people down there are completely innocent and haven't done a thing to try and stop your stupid plan. I don't know how monsters like you exist."
"It doesn't matter if they are innocent or not." Yuka told Zane with his arms crossed. "If the Cold Emperor says they need to die, then they need to die."
"So, you seriously worship that Lyon dude?" Zane said with disbelief in his voice. "Man, how stupid and sad can you get? Especially considering how I handed him his butt earlier."
"What?!" They all yelled in unison with dropped jaws.
"There's no way a little punk like you took down Lyon!" Toby yelled while shaking his fist at Zane. "You're just trying to freak us out!"
"Well, believe what you wanna believe." Zane said with a shrug before powering up. "And about your jelly plan…" Zane then let out a powerful yell as he threw the bucket into the air before fire a energy beam at it causing a huge explosion in the air that push Angelica back, thankfully for the ones riding her, the rat was able to remain airborne. "Don't even think about it."
"You…little…brat!" Sherry roared as so far this kid just kept pissing her off more and more with each second. "Do you have any idea how long it took us to make all of that?!"
"About as long as it'll take for me to do this." Zane said with a snarky grin as he put both hands to his hand.
"…Wait why are you wearing sunglass during night ti-" Toby's question was then cut off by-
"Solar Flare!" Zane then produced the blinding attack right into his opponent's eyes. Due to being night and everyone's eyes not being adjusted for more bright lights, the attack was extra devastating as Yuka, Sherry, Toby, and Angelica all yelled as they covered their burning eyes.
"SON OF A BITCH!" Yuka yelled as he tried to get his eye sight back.
"I CAN'T SEE! I CAN'T SEE!" Toby yelled out in a panic.
Due to the Solar Flare, Angelica was forced to cover her eyes and start twirling her tail and quickly started crashing down to earth. "ANGELICA!" Sherry yelled in concern for her rat as she held on tightly and refused to let go.
"ABANDON SHIP!" Yuka yelled to his team mates as he and Toby dropped of the rat who was started to crash down towards the jungle of Galuna island. Meanwhile Sherry refused to leave her precious Angelica and crash down with her with Lyon and Toby landing near the village, using their magic to help break their fall.
With Zane, he simply smirked at the whole scene as he started to lower himself back down into the village. "I love my life." Zane said with nothing satisfaction as he floated back down to the ground.
"Way to go their bud!" Gray complimented as he patted Zane on the back.
"That's but we're not outta the woods yet." Zane told his guild mates as he looked up at them. "That rat and pink haired girl landed somewhere in the jungle. Lucy, Laki, you two check it out. They never go down THAT easily.
"Right!" Laki said as she started to fly up into the air. Lucy didn't have a chance to react as she was suddenly lifted up into the air by Laki. "Come on Lucy! Lets go!"
"HEY HOLD ON!" Lucy yelled as Laki flew them both high into the air. "AT LEAST GIVE ME A WARNING FIRST!"
"Good luck!" Happy waved to them as the Laki carried Lucy off into the air in search of the crash sight of the giant rat.
"Alright. Now all we have to do is wait for those two other guys." Gray said as he cracked his knuckles, getting ready for another fight.
"HEY!"
"Didn't have to wait long." Natsu said with a grin as they watch, coming in from a wall they made in the village wall, Yuga and Toby came in looking not to happy and plenty pissed.
"Hope you ready to cry!" Toby yelled at the Fairy Tail mages and villagers as he punched a palm into his open fist. "Because we're gonna rough you up good!"
"Ruff' you say?" Yuga said with a tiny smirk that showed that he just couldn't resist.
"I WASN'T MAKING A DOG PUN!" Toby angrily yelled at his team mate.
"You think I'm afraid of you two?!" The village chief roared at the two intruders to the village. "I'll show you what we do to intruders!" But right as the chief was about to charge at the two Lyon lackeys, two the villagers grabbed him and kept him from trying to fight.
"Please calm down Chief!" One of the villagers holding the chief pleaded.
"Just let the wizards handle the fighting!" The other one holding the chief said the chief tried to struggle free.
"Yeah, you all get somewhere safe!" Natsu told all the villagers. "It might get dicey! But we got this!"
"Right!" The red demon man said with a nod before starting to run away while gesturing his fellow villagers to follow him. "Come on everyone! To the emergency camp!" It didn't take long for the entire village to evacuate, leaving Zane, Natsu, Gray, and Happy to face down Yuka and Toby.
"Sorry but we have a mission to carry out." Yuka told the Fairy Tail wizards in front of him. "Once we deal with you three, we'll get to work on killing the villagers."
Zane glared hard at the two enemy wizards in front of him. "You still have to get by us." The 12-year-old told them.
"And what do you mean three?!" Happy yelled while shaking a paw. "I'm here to ya know!"
"Alright, Zane you take Mr. Eyebrows there." Natsu told the 12-year-old marital artist. "Me and Gray will take the oversize mutt."
"Well you heard them Toby." Yuka said with a grin as he started stepping forward. "You take those two fools, and I'll handle the boy."
"Ha! This'll be easy!" Toby said as he ran towards his opponents.
"Alright, so, you're fighting me?" Zane asked as he cracked his necked as he faced down Yuka. "If your fighting skills are about as good as your ability to shave those forest acre's you call eyebrows, then this should be easy."
"Let's see how well you run that mouth of yours when your bruised and beaten on the ground." Yuka said in a calm and collected tone. "You know took me awhile, but I recognize you know."
"Oh really?" Zane said as he tightened his fist and was ready to start punching at a moment's notice.
"Yes, your name is Zane Strauss, adopted son of Mirajane Strauss who used to go by the name the She-Demon." Yuka began listing off everything he knew. "You're quite the star yourself. Despite your age, you put the skill and power of many adults' wizards to shame. Your magic type is completely unknown and has quite the variety and versatility. But that doesn't matter to me, we we're once part of quite the large-scale guild ourselves. Perhaps you heard of the Lamia-Scale, Iron Rock Jura is part of it."
"Yeah I know about all that." Zane confirmed with a nod. However, Zane's glare only intensified. "Honestly it just makes this whole thing quite sad. To think that members of a guild like that could sink so low. Imagine if a wizard like Jura saw you now. He'd be ashamed."
This caused Yuka to frown harshly at the boy and return the glare. "Don't judge those you don't understand. We have out reasons for doing this and we won't let anyone stand in our way!" Yuka then held his hand out and created a blue sphere of magic energy. "WAVE!" The sphere of magic then shot out at Zane at high speeds.
But the young Strauss boy was easily able to react in time and flip over the attack. "Wave!" And just like that Yuka sent another attack towards the young boy. "Wave! Wave! Wave! Wave!" With every attack Zane dodged, Yuka just kept them coming and continued to try and hit Zane. "You can't dodge forever!"
"Then how about I try attacking!" Zane said as he got his hands ready to unleash some blast of his own.
"Go ahead but it won't work!" Yuka claimed causing Zane to raise a brow. "I specialize in anti-wizard magic! All attacks that come in contact with my Wave are instantly destroyed! Not even the strongest of wizards can stand up to me!"
"Care to test that theory!" Zane said as he waved a hand over an open palm and created his own sphere of blue energy. "Spirit Ball!" Zane then threw the Spirit Ball right at Yuka.
The blue haired mage didn't think much of the incoming attack and simply waved a hand in front of himself. "Wave!" Yuka then projected a blue barrier in front of himself made of the same magic energy as his projectiles as the Spirit Ball came closer and-
BOOM!
"AAAAAAHHH!" Yuka yelled as the Spirit Ball effortlessly went through the Wave barrier and collided with Yuka, doing heavy damage and sending the Wave user flying.
"Well…so much for the Wave." Zane said with a smirk after Yuka crashed into a hut. "I'm...gonna have that fix that later…"
"H-H-How…" Yuka said in pain as he managed to stand himself up and clenched the spot that the Spirit Ball hit. "My Wave…should have completely…destroyed your spell!"
"First time for everything." Zane quipped with a smirk as he put his hands together.
"Well it won't happen again!" Yuka roared as he put a hand in front of him. "I just need to put more power into it!"
"Galick Gun…" Zane chanted as he charged up the purple beam.
"WAVE!" Yuka then created a much larger barrier in front of him with more of his magic energy put into the attack.
"Fire!" Zane then fired the Galick Gun straight at Yuka. The Wave wizard smirked, thinking his much stronger barrier would no doubt stop this attack dead.
Oh how wrong he was.
The Galick Gun easily penetrated the new, stronger barrier and collided with Yuka and caused the blue haired mage to scream in pain as the attack sent him crashing all the way to the wall on the opposite side of the village.
With his speed, Zane was there the instant Yuka collided with the barrier. With only two attacks, the Wave user was already looking pretty beat up with his cloths torn and his body bruised. "T-T-T-T-T-This…can't be…h-happening…" Yuka struggled to stay as he barley managed to stand up. "N-N-Not even…the strongest wizards…should be able to get…their attacks through anti-magic. What…are you?"
"I think its obvious what I am…" Zane said as he got ready for a final attack. "I'm a Kami Damn Fairy Tail wizard…" Zane then got into position as he started charging an attack.
"Ka…me…ha…me…"
Yuka let out a vicious growl as he spread his arms out wide and used the rest of his strength for one last barrier. "WAVE!" Creating the strongest barrier he's ever had to make, Yuka was ready to try and stop this attack.
"HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" With a mighty shout, Zane unleashed the Turtle Destruction Wave straight at Yuka. Despite this being the strongest barrier he's made, Yuka's wave didn't even manage to hold back the Kamehameha even a bit and completely engulf him.
After a few seconds, Zane ceased his attack and the blue energy beam disappeared. What remained was a giant hole in the wooden barrier to the village and a bunch of trees torn down going forward and finally ending at Yuka's completely unconscious body. "Not gonna lie…kinda disappointed." Zane admitted as he was hoping for a better fight.
"Well…" Zane then turned around and started walking back to where the fight first began. "Wonder how Gray and Natsu are holding up against…ah who am I kidding they're kicking that dog guys butt."
How right Zane was.
"HOLD STILL WILL YA!" Toby yelled as he tried slashing Natsu and Gray with his extended claws. These were Toby's Super Jellyfish Paralyzing claws. Guess what they did? Well exactly what Natsu, Gray, and Happy guessed as well as what the name literally says. They paralyze people.
And Toby has been trying for the last five minutes to slash Gray, Natsu, and Happy with his claws only for the three to effortlessly dodge with bored looks on their faces. "Started to think I picked the lame fight." Natsu said with disappointment.
"Ya think?" Gray said with an equal amount of disappointment as he simply back stepped away from some slash.
"STOP UNDERESTIMATING ME!" Toby yelled in frustration.
"Hmmmm." Happy hummed as mischievous look came to his face. He could take this guy out…with a bit of classic Happy trickery. "Hey, excuse me mister Dog Man."
"I'M NOT A DOG! ITS JUST A FASHION CHOICE!" Toby yelled at the blue cat before calming down. "At what is it?"
"Its just, you have some food on your face." Happy told Toby while pointing a paw near his lip. "Right there, next to your lip."
"Woah really?" Toby asked as he reached a hand for his face. "Oh man this so embaress-"
Poke
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!" Toby yelled in pain as he ending up pricking himself with his own claws as he reached for his face. The Fairy Tail wizards then watched as Toby fell to the ground completely paralyzed.
Once Toby was on the ground, Happy climbed on top of his body and placed a foot on the dog man's head and raised a paw in the air. "And the winner is Happy!" Happy announced as he stood proud and tall on the opponent he tricked into defeating himself.
"Hahahahah! Nice one little buddy!" Natsu laughed as he and Happy shared a high five.
"Well that's two of Lyon's minions down." Gray said as he heard all the explosions from Zane and Lyon's fight and was about 99.99% sure that Zane had taken eyebrows down all the way to new years.
"Alright that only leaves that rat loving chick." Natsu said as he crossed his arms. "Unless Lucy and Laki took care of her already."
"I'll go check on them!" Happy said as he sprouted his angel wings. "I'll be right back!" And with that, Happy flew off to go look for the two female Fairy Tail members.
Back with Lucy and Laki, Laki was easily able to find where Angelica had crashed down after flying up high enough and soon brought herself and Lucy down at the area where the giant rat could be seen laying unconscious. "Alright, down we go." Laki said as she set Lucy down on the ground on her feet.
"I still don't get how this works." Lucy said as she saw Laki float down next to her. "How do you fly with no wings?"
"Eh, its kinda hard to explain." Laki said as she dusted her cloths off. "Its sorta like using energy to propel yourself in the air…just not magic…its really hard to explain. You'll have to ask Zane."
"Do you two have any idea what your friend has done."
Laki and Lucy's eyes widened at the familiar voice and looked to see none other then the last of Lyon's lackies, Sherry, standing on top of a pile of rocks with tears streaming down her face. "Because of all of you the Cold Emperor won't love me anymore! And look what that brats done to Angelica! I'LL MAKE YOU PAY!"
"Bring it on!" Lucy challenged as she stood her ground.
"If its love you'll interested in, then I think I can show you the meaning of tough love." Laki said in a threatening tone as she created her wooden scythe. "Its time for discipline."
Sherry growled in response as she held her hand out and created a dark pink magic circle. "WOOD DOLL!" Sherry yelled, her voice echoing around the area, as the ground suddenly started to shake.
"Wait, what's going on?" Lucy asked as she and Laki looked behind them to and flinched to see a tree somehow approaching them like it was sentient with a spooky face on it. "IT'S ALIVE?!"
"Doll magic huh?" Laki pointed out as she gripped her wooden scythe tightly. "This should be an interesting clash of fist."
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!" Sherry screamed like lunatic as she subconsciously ordered the living tree to slam its fist down on the two Fairy Tail mages. The two managed to jump out of the way with Lucy jumping back and landing on her back with Levi actually jumping towards the tree doll and
SLICE!
SLICE!
With a few precise slashes from her scythe, Laki was easily able to cut the Wood Doll to piece. Laki had a small smile on her face the whole time as he glasses glowed from the moonlight as she let out a haunting laugh. "I have experience in wood carving~ Its how I make all my tools. Even the ones revolving around the art of medieval punishment and misery~"
Both Lucy and Sherry felt goosebumps over there body and chills going up their spine as Laki said this. "What are you some sort of sadist?!" Sherry yelled at the ivory haired girl.
'Even she sees it.' Lucy thought with a sweat drop before she reached for her keys. "Well now its my turn to-"
"Lucy wait!" Laki said as she flew right in front of the blond and whispered into her ear. "This girl specializes in Doll Magic. This allows her to control any living things expect for humans and that would include Celestia Spirits."
"Woah seriously?" Lucy silently gasped so Sherry wouldn't hear what they were saying. "So I won't be able to use my spirits against her."
"Afraid not." Laki confirmed with a frown. "She could just take control of them."
Lucy gritted her teeth a bit in response. She was completely useless against this chick. Any spirits she let out could just be taken control of and be ordered to attack them and…hold on a minute. Lucy's eyes widened as a thought crossed her mind. Yes her spirits could be controlled of and attack them…but would that matter if the spirit was weak? "Laki I have an idea." Lucy informed the wood-make mage with a grin. She then leaned close to Laki's ear and whispered her idea to the Ivory hair girl.
Once she heard it, Laki gave Lucy a grin in response. "Hey that's pretty good! Let's do it!"
"Are you two down gossiping down there?!" Sherry yelled as she was started to get really ticked off at these two ignoring her.
"Just wait! You'll get what's coming to you!" Laki said before covering herself in a milky white aura and taking off high into the sky.
"Hey! Where do you think you're going?!" Sherry yelled as Laki continued to soar higher into the sky.
"Forget about her! Your fight is with me!" Lucy yelled towards the pink haired girl as she took out one of her silver keys. "Now watch and see what a Celestia Wizard can do! Open Gate of the Little Dog: Plue!" With some Circus music, Lucy's cute little snowman-like spirit appeared and looked up at Sherry with the spirits usual smile on its face. "Alright Plue! Take her down!"
"Hehehehe…" Sherry hauntingly laugh as Plue started running, more waddling really, towards her. "As cute as that little darling is, I'm afraid you've made a grave mistake." Cherry then held both of her hands out and created magic circles in both of them. "Celestia Wizards just hate my kind of magic. Now I'll show you why!" Suddenly, Plue stopped his charge towards Sherry and turned around towards Lucy with his eyes glowing pink and the kanji for evil appearing on the small spirits forehead.
"Plue?" Lucy gasped in fake surprise. Good, everything was going according to plan.
"Now little spirit! Turn on your master!" Sherry ordered as Plue let out a cute squeaking sound as he charged at Lucy and-
Dink, dink, dink, dink, dink, dink, dink, dink.
Sherry sweat dropped and Lucy didn't even flinch as Plue unleashed a series of punches at Lucy's legs that…didn't do even a tiny of damage. "You're kidding me?!" Sherry yelled out in frustration.
"I knew you'd fall for that!" Lucy yelled with a smirk on her face as she looked up. "Laki now!"
"Wait, wha-" However, Sherry was then cut off as Laki come down at high speed and dropped kicked Sherry right in the face and sent the Doll Mage flying towards a nearby tree.
This caused Plue to snap out of Sherry's spell and realize what he was doing to Lucy and quickly started bowing to the blond and begging for forgiveness. "Aw, don't worry Plue." Lucy reassured her little Celestia Spirit with a head pet. "You did exactly what I need you to do. So why don't you head back to the spirit world and I promise I'll get you a nice and big lollipop later." And with that, Plue disappeared in a puff of smoke back to the world where Celestia Spirits live.
"Way to go Lucy!" Laki complimented her blond friend with a thumbs up. "It worked perfectly!"
They heard a groaning sound coming from in front of them and looked to see Sherry slowly standing back up and holding the cheek Levi kicked which now had a large bruise on it. "You…bitch!" Sherry growled as she glared at the two Fairy Tail ladies. "You tricked me by summoning a weak spirit!"
"Darn right we did!" Lucy said with a smirk as she pointed at Sherry. "Sorry but there's no way someone like you could stand up to us Fairy Tail wizards.
"Oh we'll see about that!" Sherry accepted the challenge as she rose up her hands and all the nearby rocks in the area started to come towards her. "Rock Doll!"
"Come on! Give us all you got! We can take it!" Laki said as she recreated her wood scythe and Lucy pulled out her trusty whip. However, both girls kind regretted what Laki said as Sherry proceeded to make a giant stone golem with Cherry riding inside its head and controlling it.
"Well then, how about we play a game?" Sherry said with a sadistic giggle. "I just love to play cat and mouse. So little mice, lets see if you can feed my rock doll."
"Uh-oh…" Lucy squeaked out as Levi threw her weapon at the golem only for the wooden scythe to shatter against the stone enemy.
"Yeah…didn't think that was gonna work." Levi let out as they both saw the golem raise its fist. "We should run…"
And both girls quickly did that. They managed to avoid the rock doll crushing them with its fist and quickly booked it with the stone golem hot on their tail with Sherry laughing in glee at the two girls running away. Bad time to mention that Laki may have forgotten that she could fly during her panic.
As they were running the two girls quickly tried to think of ways they could possibly defeat the giant stone doll. No matter what she did, all of Laki's wood-make spells wouldn't make a dent in the stone giant and Lucy tried to think of which spirit could help them in the current situation but none of them seem suited for it. The most helpful one would probably be the Golden Bull Taurus, but Sherry could just take control of him and use his immense strength against the two girls pretty much getting them back to square one.
It was then that Laki came up with one idea that might possibly work…but it was risky. "Lucy…I think I got something!" Laki told the blond as they continued to run for their lives.
"Please! Open to anything about now!" Lucy told her as they jumped out of the way of the doll slamming its stone first down on them.
"Alright! I possibly have something that can destroy that stone doll!" Laki told Lucy who perked up a bit at the idea. "But…I've never tried it before! For the best chance, we gotta get it to hold still."
"HOW ARE WE SUPPOSED TO DO THAT?!" Lucy yelled as she saw no way they can get that thing to stand still with Sherry still controlling it.
Laki gritted her teeth. Yeah, that was the hard part. She quickly started looking around for anything that could help them and soon found herself looking forward at where they were quickly approaching.
A cliff.
A grin came to Laki's face as an idea formed inside her head. "Just following me lead!" Laki said as she sped up towards the cliff with Lucy panicking but still following.
Soon enough, they reached the edge of the cliff with Lucy panicking even more as Laki and her looked up at Sherry still riding her rock doll and making is raise its foot above the girls. "Now crush them!" Sherry ordered as the Rock Doll slammed its foot against the ground causing the two girls to jump to the very edge of the cliff to avoid it and the cliff edge to crack.
"Perfect." Laki said with a grin as her plan was already starting to work.
"What do we do?!" Lucy yelled as she held onto Laki.
"Wait…" Laki said as the edge cracked more. "Wait…" The crack was almost complete. "NOW!" Once the edge had snapped off Laki, with Lucy holding on tight, remembered she could fly and took off into the sky.
"What?! Are you kidding me?!" Sherry yelled as she to forgot about the ivory haired girls flight capabilities due to her fun of chasing her and the blond one around.
Once they were safe in the air, Laki quickly flew behind the rock doll, and with gravity and momentum aiding her, managed her feet against its back and managed to push the doll, along with Sherry off the cliff.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!" Sherry yelled as she fell to the ground with a loud 'POOF!'
"Huh, that worked." Lucy said with a small smile as they started to fly down.
"And now to deal with the doll." Laki said as she landed a few dozen feet away from where the doll landing. Setting Lucy down, they both found themselves on the islands beach. With the sounds of the waves hitting her ears, Laki focused her eyes forward and saw the dust clear and saw Sherry still on the rock dolls head looking quite dazed. "Alright…I got one shot at this…Zane don't fail me now."
Lucy rose her eyebrow in response…and looked to see Laki entering a familiar position. "Wait…is that…" Lucy gasped as she quickly knew what that pose was.
"Ka…me…" Laki chanted as a blue sphere was created in her hands.
'But…how?!" Luc thought in amazement as she watched Laki prepare one of Zane's attack. 'That's one of Zane's move! She already knows how to fly like him and now this?!'
"Ha…me…" Laki kept it up as the blue sphere became more intense.
"Huh, what's going on." Sherry asked herself and as managed to recover from her daze and looked to see-
"HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" Laki then released the energy attack. A blue beam, while not as powerful as Zane's, was fired out of Laki's hands and towards Sherry and the rock doll. Sherry screamed as the beam was fired right at her dolls chest and was able to go right through the rock dolls chest.
Laki kept up the attack for a few more seconds before the intensity of it cause her to stop. When she ceased using the Kamehameha Laki let both arms fall to her side nearly limp and take heavy breathes. The attack took a lot more out of her then she thought, but luckily it did the trick.
Sherry's rock doll had a giant hole in its chest and due to this, it only stood for about two more seconds before it fell apart crumbling into worthless debris. "Alright! You did it!" Lucy cheered as Sherry struggled to move a few rocks that her feet got stuck in.
"Thanks…it was…nothing…" Laki said in between breaths. "Just…can't feel my arms now…luckily…it what Zane said about those beans are true…it won't be a problem."
"Well don't worry Laki, I can finish his chick off!" Lucy said as she cracked her whip, ready to bring the pain to this girl.
Sherry looked forward to see Lucy approaching her before Sherry looked up at the sky and shouted. "ANGELICA! DEFEND YOUR MASTER!"
Both Laki and Lucy rose their brows at this, but suddenly heard the stound of stomping coming from the cliff they were just one and watched to see that Sherry's pet rat Angelica had recovered from its crash from earlier and came jumping at Lucy. "Lucy! Look out!" Laki called out to the Celestia mage as the rat got closer and closer to Lucy and-
SLASH!
Suddenly, coming out of nowhere to their rescue was none other than the Scarlet Knight Erza, who was effortlessly slashed Angelica away. "It's Erza!" Lucy and Laki said in unison as Sherry's jaw dropped at seeing Titania Erza herself effortlessly swatting away her rat. Before Sherry had a chance to do anything, Erza suddenly sped in front of her and knocked out her out with a swift neck chop.
With both Sherry and Angelica unconscious, both Lucy and Laki smiled widely at Erza…until she turned to them with a dark glare. Both girls instantly felt dread all over again as they quickly realized why exactly Erza was here.
"Uh-oh…"
