Chapter 13

The group was sent flying to a town that was under attack. Meanwhile, a muscular man was standing near some buildings when he heard some people screaming. He turned around and saw the group flying towards him. The man grabbed Sora and Goofy while the rest landed on their feet with Natsu catching Lucy and Wendy.

"Thank you.", said Lucy and Wendy.

"See? Found him.", said Sora.

"Yeah, I guess that counts!", said Goofy.

"Get me down!", shouted Donald.

Everyone turned around and saw Donald with his jacket hanging on sharp teeth of a lion statue, struggling to get down.

"Just a second!", said the man.

Tick-Tock, Tick-Tock. "And then!", said Happy.

"You guys are here! Sora! Donald! Goofy! You literally dropped in. Gotta say, I'm impressed.", the man said excitedly.

"Thanks!", said Donald.

"Liked the catch!", said Goofy.

"Yeah, thanks Herc.", said Sora.

"But, who are they?", asked Hercules.

"Oh, Hercules. They are a group of friends that are traveling with us. Natsu Dragneel, Lucy Heartfilia, Happy, Gray Fullbuster, Erza Scarlet, Wendy Marvell, Carla, Juvia Lockser, Gajeel Redfox, Panther Lily, and Laxus Dreyar.", said Sora.

"Greetings.", said Erza.

"Wow! You look so awesome! Do you want to fight?!", asked Natsu.

"Seriously? That the one thing you ask someone when you meet them.", said Lucy.

"That Natsu for ya!", said Happy.

"I would love to but now not a great time.", said Hercules.

"Yeah, what's going on?", questioned Sora.

Herc smile vanished. He pointed at all of the buildings that were on fire and everything that was falling apart.

Herc sighed. "Take a guess. Starts with an H."

"Ah, I get the picture. Actually, we bumped into the H-ster on the way here.", said Sora as everyone nodded.

"He said somethin' about conquerin' the whole cosmos.", said Goofy.

"All of it, huh? Nice of him to show a little self-restraint. Well, whatever he's planning, I'll send him running back across the Styx." said Herc.

Sora chuckled. "That's our Herc!"

"Before we do that, we should at least do some clean-up around here.", said Laxus.

"He right, let go", said Erza as the group walked towards the square.

"So, Sora, is there a reason you guys are visiting?", asked Herc. "I'm guessing it's not just for the cheese and olives."

"Oh yeah!", said Sora.

"It sounds like somebody forgot.", said Goofy

"That's Sora.", said Donald.

"I just...took my time remembering.", said Sora.

"Wow, Sora is just as forgetful as Natsu.", said Happy.

"Don't drag me into this!", said Natsu.

"Anyway. Herc, I came here so I could ask you something.", said Sora.

"Ask me?"

"Yeah. Do you remember the last time we were together? You were feeling down and out. How'd you get your strength back-when you jumped in and saved Meg?"

Herc though for a moment. "Hmm… that's tough. All I know is that she was in trouble. Suddenly, I wanted to save her with all my heart, but... it's not like I could tell you how."

"Oh, man.", said a disappointed Sora.

"What's wrong?", asked Herc.

"All my strength is gone from me too. That's why I need you-because I was hoping you might have a solution, or something."

"I'm sorry, Sora.", said Herc.

Everyone sighed but Fairy Tail. "Don't worry about it! I will come back eventually.", said Natsu.

"Yes. We believe that will happen.", said Erza.

Suddenly, giant fireballs came crashing down in the town square, destroying a Herc statue.

"Heartless!", shouted Donald.

"Let's talk later!", said Herc.

"Right...once we've dealt with these guys.", said Sora.

"Leave these types of Heartless to us!", said Gray as he and Juvia walked towards the monsters.

"That's not fair! I want a piece of the action!", yelled Natsu.

"Leave them, Natsu. Besides, these Heartless are resistant to fire. Everyone else, put out the fire!", said Erza.

Gray, Juvia, Sora, Donald, Goofy, and Herc charged at the enemy while the rest of Fairy Tail went to burning sections of the plaza.

"Ice-Make: Lance!"

"Water Slicer!"

Water and Ice combined and took out dozens of heartless. Herc was punching and throw slabs of rocks at the enemy.

"Here, Sora!", shouted Goofy.

Sora ran towards Goofy. He then squatted down as Sora jumped on his shield.

"Goofy Bombardier!"

Goofy launched both of them into the air. Sora then grabbed Goofy's handed, swinged him, and throwed him at the enemy, defeated a ton of them.

"I think that the last of them.", said Donald as everyone regroup.

"Hercules!"

Everyone turned around, they saw two people riding on a pegasis: Megara and Phil.

"You're okay!"

"Meg!", said Herc.

"Boy, that didn't look so fun.", she said.

"No, not with the Heartless involved. We're just lucky our friends showed up.", said Herc.

She look and the group and said, "Well, whaddaya know? Sora, Donald, Goofy, guest I owe you a big thank you. So, who are they?"

"These are our new friends: Fairy Tail. They are helping us take down the Heartless." explained Sora.

"Well, thank you for helping Wonderboy.", she said.

"Well hello, sweeties. It way dangerous out here, I'll take care of it for you.", said Phil as he walked towards Lucy, Erza, and Juvia.

"Uh, it nice to meet you.", stuttered Lucy.

"It nice to say that. But we can handle ourselves. Also, Juvia has Gray-sama.", said Juvia who also stuttered.

Phil then walked towards Erza and said, "What about you? After I protect you we can go out and-"

Erza then punched Phil in the face. His head was knocked into the ground.

"You should train instead of looking for a girl.", said Erza.

Phil then pulled his head out of the ground and said, "I never seen someone like you before. You are one strong woman!"

"Meg, you need to stay someplace safe. We'll search the city and make sure everyone manages to get clear of the fire.", said Herc.

"Be careful, Wonderboy.", she answered.

"I will. So, you guys in?"

"Of course we're in!", said both Sora and Natsu.

"We're heroes!", said Donald as everyone nodded.

"Break a leg then...heroes.", said Meg as the group saluted.

"Phil, you should go with Meg.", said Herc.

Phil nodded. He hop on the pegasis with Meg and they flew off into the sky.

"Heeelp! Is anyone theeere?"

"Hey! I hear someone!", said Natsu.

"From which way?", asked Herc.

Natsu sniffed and then said, "Over there!"

He pointed towards a girl standing on top of a pile of rubble that is about to collapse.

"Help meee!", she shouted.

"Oh no! There's a little girl caught in the fire!", said Herc.

"Let's go!", said Sora as he was running towards the rubble.

"Wait. Running's too slow!", said Herc.

"Then what's the other choice?", asked Sora.

Herc looked around and stopped at his fallen statue.

"Get on that.", he said.

Sora, Donald, Goofy, and Fairy Tail got on the statue.

"Is it safe?", asked Lucy.

"Like this?", asked Sora.

"That's good. Now hold on tight!", said Herc.

Herc then started to lift up the statue everyone was on.

"A vehicle!", shouted Natsu, Gajeel, Wendy, and Laxus as they were about to get sick.

"I don't like this", said a scared Lucy.

"Wh-wha-whoooa! Herc, m-maybe we should...I don't think this is a good idea!", shouted Sora.

"Me, Laxus, and Lily are getting off this thing to help the big guy you go on ahead!", said a nauseous Gajeel as he, Laxus, and Lily jumped off the statue.

"Be careful.", said Erza.

"W-wait f-for m-me.", said Natsu as he was trying to get off.

But it was too late and Herc threw the statue.

"Oh no! Not agaaaaaain!", shouted Sora and Lucy.
