The Gang arrived in a hidden section out of sight "Yeah place definitely reeks of misery and death" Natsu spoke quietly to the others. Juvia who had disappeared popped up from the water "guys I found a hole under here" she said.
"Good work Juvia" Gray nodded.
"Juvia gets praised" Juvia cheered then got in Lucy's face "Juvia not Lucy" she said smugly.
"No need to get so nasty about it" Lucy frowned.
"Enough you two" Natsu said firmly with a sharp glare "Juvia do you have a way to get in without worrying about swallowing water?" he asked.
Juvia nodded a serving plate size water bubbles in her hand "Put these and you will be able to breath under water" she told them once each of them put the water bubble on the swam under the water to the opening it was dark, so Natsu swimming up holding a hand then focusing his power in his hand the area in his hand heated up hotter and hotter controlling the temperature his hand glowed red orange before bright Orange flames engulfed his whole hand covering it lighting the dark tunnel up like a torch, the group behind him was shocked he can still use fire under water.
"Lets move" Natsu ordered swimming ahead lighting the way and then arrived underneath a cave under the tower turning off his flames careful not to be seen and got out staying watch the others climbed out.
"We made it these actually worked" Lucy told Juvia.
"Oh I made yours purposefully smaller so you'd suffocate" Juvia said snidely.
"Oh thanks really feeling the love here" Lucy sweatdropped.
"Okay lets get a moovee on" Natsu stuttered as he looked at Seilah the water made her Kimono stick to her body revealing her hourglass figure and curves a such they could see her bra and panties through the wet clothes, then she forgetting about privacy behind close doors turned around and undid the ribbon and took it off, Natsu eyes widened as the water made her underwear wet to highlighting her hips and buttocks as she wore satin black cheeky panties she turned around her nubs of her breasts popped out from a black satin bra with a purple swirl on the cup, Gray's eyes widened as steam billowed from his head as Lucy and Juvia's eyes popped out of their heads comically.
"What" Seilah spoke seeing their faces.
"Don't look Gray-Sama" Juvia cried grabbing Gray's head covering his eyes with her chest
Lucy glared at Natsu and covered his eyes with her hands "Sorry for staring but we change privately not in front of people" Natsu spoke.
"Oh jeez" Seilah covered herself forgetting about human behaviors.
"Here if your wet" Natsu said holding out a hand and waves of heat came out from it surrounded Seilah and her clothes dried.
"Thanks Natsu-San" Seilah spoke putting her clothes back on.
"No problem" Natsu said then pulled Lucy's hands away from his eyes then got serious again "Lets move" he ordered. The group arrived in a cavern with pathways and tunnels.
"Okay everyone keep a low profile for now, in other words be quiet" Natsu told the others as they walked, Natsu walking to a big mining cart and not the type to take the time to walk around decided to go right through it, so he raised his inner fire and temperature the outline of his body was covered in a red-orange glowing aura with strands of flames licking off every 5 seconds and melting right through the middle of the cart and stepped on a bunch of dynamite at least 8 of them banded together.
The explosives didn't take too kindly of Natsu's burning hot foot touching it and exploded with a really loud BANG! and a blast of huge flames shook the room from the force of the explosion and throwing Natsu across the room while Natsu was immune to fire and explosions the racket made them shiver and bristle comically nervously.
the rest turned to Natsu with 'nice going hootfoot' look. 5 seconds later 60 guards came running out of the tunnels and showed up armed with magic staffs and rifles
"Intruders!" they spoke
"What was that about keep quiet" Lucy glared at him.
"Uh Oops" Natsu shrugged Then Natsu inhaled and ate the fire caused by the Dynamite not wanting to waste perfectly good flames "mm nice flavor" he said.
"Identify yourselves!" one demanded the group glanced at each other and smirked, then fire exploded from Natsu's feet as he crouched coiling his legs the ground cracking to the sides from the pressure with flames leaking out from them then the spot exploded as Natsu shot up to the first bunch on a pathway at a blazing speed.
"With pleasure" Natsu barked as a Fire Dragon circle appeared infront of his right fist he landed on the pathway thrusting his fist out forcefully "Fire Dragon Flaming Fist" he yelled out and a large stream of bright orange flames flooded from his fist collided with them.
"Hot hot Hot" the cried as they fell burnt but alive, Natsu then jumped over the side then flew through a pillar smashing it grabbing a chunk and it was engulfed in bright orange fire "Fire Dragon Explosive Pitch" he yelled throwing the piece like a baseball at some pathways the fire exploded taking out the pathways and sending the guards falling, then Natsu blurred slightly and was in their faces and they flew across the room as punches too fast to see sent them back.
Then Gray launched a blast of ice at some "cold Cold Cold" the cried.
Seilah just made the guards attack one another she flew at one and kicked one in the stomach sending him flying back, then using her Macro making objects such as rocks and old shovels crash into some more guards.
Then some guards sent magic blasts at Juvia but her body turned into water going right through but she just glowered at them.
"What is the chick made of" one gaped.
"Water Slicer" Juvia cried sending a torrent of water at some guards knocking them over. Lucy landed on a pathway she was still in a bikini "Oh mama shes mine" some guards spoke with hearts for eyes.
"Open The Gate of the Maiden: Virgo" Lucy ordered summoning Virgo.
"You summoned me Princess" Virgo bowed.
"These perverts need to be taking care of" Lucy pointed covering her chest with her arms.
"As commanded" Virgo bowed then numerous guards were sent flying as Virgo barreled through them.
"Fire Molding: Melting floor" Natsu bellowed slamming two thick fire consumed hands on the ground a pool of bright orange flames flooded spread'ed out forward melting the supports for the pathways "Fire Dragon Roasting bath" he barked as fire consumed his form and the remaining pathways supports were engulfed with flames the temperature in the room rose to a scalding level the pathways melted before the remaining guards fell as the flames dissipated and temperature in the room went back to normal revealing a melted floor scorched black.
minutes later they were all defeated, then a set of stairs came down from a face on the cave.
In the dungeon where Erza was chained escaped.
"She escaped how my rope blocks magic" Millianna stomped her foot as she had a death grip on Happy in her arms.
"It's Erza what do you expect" Simon told her "we have to find her" he frowned.
"WHERE ARE YOU THIEVES SHOW YOURSELVES COWARDS !?" a voice screamed out
"Who's that" Millianna asked.
"No clue, definitely not a voice we heard at the casino" Simon spoke
Up in a hallway Sho and Wally were walking
"WHERE ARE YOU THIEVES SHOW YOURSELVES COWARDS!?"
"someone's not happy" Sho frowned.
"Time to hunt" Wally smirked
Up in a room fall of cats figures, Happy was going stir crazy by the cat decorations and pictures
"WHERE ARE YOU THIEVES SHOW YOURSELVES COWARDS!?" a voice shouts.
"Oh Natsu's their in big trouble now" Happy smirked.
In a dark room where a hooded figure was sitting in a throne
"WHERE ARE YOU THIEVES SHOW YOURSELVES COWARDS!?" A angry voice shouts making him smirk "Ah the Dragon has arrived" he stated moving a figure of a red painted dragon on a checkerboard
Up in the tower
"WHERE ARE YOU THIEVES SHOW YOURSELVES COWARDS?" Natsu bellowed out on top of his voice
"jeez shut up" Lucy snapped.
"No point to keep it down with all that noise down there" Gray shrugged the group was in a room eating some ham and crispy large chicken legs, and biscuits with honey and bread.
"Thanks Virgo" Lucy thanked the spirit "uh not to be rude Princess" the said Spirit spoke "but your bikini is too much for the imagination" Virgo said.
Later Lucy was changed in a new outfit "Oh did you want me to ask her to bring you a change of clothes" Lucy asked then she looked at Gray standing next to a slightly fire engulfed Natsu with crossed arms using the heat to dry his still damp pants.
"no thanks this works just fine" Gray spoke.
"He's not a Dryer Gray" Lucy told him with bulged out eyes
then a group of guards came out with magics sticks "there they are intruders" they called they all got ready and Seilah used her Macro to lift the chairs and table up ready to launch them, everyone except Natsu got ready, Natsu was just sitting in his place just finished eating and looked at the guards.
"Don't just sit there on your ass" Gray scowled.
"Relax they won't be a problem in 3,2,1" Natsu spoke then as on cue a red blure came with Erza slashing at them with two swords sending them flying.
"What are you doing here" Erza demanded in a shock expression.
"Looking for you" Natsu said from his spot "That and for the thieves who took Happy" he glowered at the wall.
"Must be Millianna" Erza informed then Natsu stood up.
"Caught Happy's scent" Natsu spoke then poofed away in a puff of flames.
"Wait Natsu" Erza spoke too late Natsu was gone.
"He's still moronic as ever" Gray grumbled later Erza had informed them of her past and about Jellal who turned bad and told them her plan was to stop this tower to finished.
Natsu tracked Happy's scent and busted the door down with a foot "Natsu your hear" he said with joy.
"not so fast boy" Wally pointed his gun at Natsu, Natsu glared lifted a hand with had glowing red orange fingers and thumb and stands of fire appeared around Wally but didn't burn him since he didn't want to hurt Erza's old friends, and yes while he was coming here he heard the entire story using his dragonlike hearing.
he tensed his finger the fire strands tightened immobilizing Wally, Natsu bopped him on top of his head knocking him into the floor and knocked out Natsu picked up Happy then 3 minutes later Millianna appeared.
"You must be Millianna" Natsu spoke "The cat lover" he smirked.
"thats me" Millianna smirked.
"Can you do something for me" Natsu said.
"What is it" The Cat girl asked.
"Can you take care of Happy while I deal with this tower, keep him safe for awhile" Natsu smirked.
"I'd love to" Millianna smiled and took Happy back in her arms.
"Thanks now leave the tower cause this tower is going to blow sky high" Natsu instructed.
"You can count on me" Millianna smiled.
"Oh and take the blockhead with you" Natsu pointed.
"alrightly then" Millianna said and used her magic ropes to drag Wally out.
Later the group was found by Simon who explained how Jellal wasn't who he said he was, the only one who wasn't fooled of Jellal's scheme.
"If there is one person that can stop Jellal is Salamander, your still aren't aware of his full power when he unleashes his full power Evil fall before his might" Simon said.
"Are we sure we can trust him" Gray whispered to Lucy and Seilah still not trusting the man.
"I'm not going to try to excuse my actions, I had to make it real as I could" Simon told him who heard him "I'll find Salamander" he promised, Later Sho interrupted them and was told the truth, anguished he turned Erza into a card and went to find Jellal on his own.
