Chapter 4

"Man, I need a break from all that hard work we been doing on those jobs.", said Lucy as she was walking to her apartment.

We've been working really hard on a lot of jobs, so everyone agreed we will take a break for a while. This is really great! Not only I have enough money to pay my rent, but I can finally have some time to finish my book.

Lucy arrived at her apartment and just when she open the door, she saw Natsu sitting on her chair eating chips while Happy was on the floor eating.

"Hey, Lucy.", they both said.

"My bedroom!", Lucy shouted. "Get out of here, you jerks!"

"Sorry, but your place is always fun.", said Natsu.

"Aye.", said Happy.

Lucy sighed and sat down. "So what are you planning on doing during the break?"

"I don't know. I'm still trying to look for a challenge but ain't got anything."

"Aye, it can't be helped. With Zeref and his books gone, I don't think we'll be seeing any dark guilds trying to do something."

Lucy stood up and said, "Well why don't we take a trip to Mt. Hakobe. I'm sure you would love to fight some Vulcans."

"Hey yeah, that does sound fun! Thanks, Lucy", said Natsu.

As they started to head out the door, a explosion occurred outside, shocking the trio.

"Wh-what was that!?", asked a nervous Lucy.

"I don't know.", said a serious Natsu.

Natsu opened the door and saw people running from what looks like black imp like creatures and imp like knights.

"What are they?", asked Lucy, nerviously.

Natsu then sprang into action eliminated the monsters with his fire dragon magic.

Lucy headed towards the people and asked, "What is going on?"

A woman answered, "I don't know they appeared out of nowhere and started attacking people."

"Alright, get out of here now. Natsu, let clear this area and get back to the guild."

"Right!"
