Chapter 40
"Are you sure they will be ok?", asked Rapunzel.
"They'll be find.", said Erza. "They're strong."
"I wished I stayed back there. I wanna fight!", said an angry Natsu.
"Relax, Salamander.", said Gajeel. "There's probably more of them as we go."
"Gajeel's right. It will be hard for them to fight the Heartless without Sora's help." said Gray.
"You're probably right.", said Rapunzel.
"Are you hungry, guys?", asked Flynn,
"Yes!", said both Natsu and Happy.
"Good! Because I know great place for lunch."
"Where?", asked Rapunzel.
"Oh don't you worry. You'll know it when you see it."
Flynn then grab Rapunzel's hand and dragged her in a different direction while the rest followed them.
After a while, Flynn said, "I know it's around here somewhere…" He turned were there was two fences on each side of the road and with a bar building in the middle. "Ah there it is. The Snuggly Duckling."
"A bar?", question Gray.
"Yep. Don't worry, very quaint place, perfect for you. Don't want you scaring and giving up on this whole endeavor, now do we?"
"Well…", said Rapunzel. "I do like ducklings."
"Yay!", said a happy Flynn.
"We're doing this for food!", said Natsu as they all walked up to the entrance of the bar.
Flynn open the door and shouted, "Gason! You're finest table please!"
Rapunzel gasped and looked terrified at what she saw. The bar was mostly filled with angry, smirking thugs. Each one holding different weapons: Swords, axes, and mices. One guy had a hook and was pointing at the group.
"What the hell?", question Natsu.
"You said it was safe!", said an angry Gray.
"I did? Oh, well.", Flynn responded.
Rapunzel grabbed her frying pan hold it in front of her for protection as they all walked into the bar while everyone looked at them with disdainful eyes.
"You smell that?", asked Flynn as he put his hands on Rapunzel's shoulders as they continued to walk. "Take a deep breath through the nose." Flynn took a deep breath through his nose and with a smile on his face. "Really let that seep in."
"Yup. Definitely smells like crap in here.", said Gray.
"What are you looking at, bastard?", growled Natsu at a man with an angry look as he slammed his hands onto the table he was sitting.
"Easy, Natsu.", said Erza.
"What are you getting?", asked Flynn to Rapunzel. "Because to me, its part man smell and the other part is really bad man smell. I don't know why, but overall it just smells like the color brown. Your thoughts?"
Suddenly, Rapunzel yelped and saw one of the men grab part of her hair and examine it. Scared, Rapunzel began to pull her hair towards her and making the hair move along the man's fingers.
As she pulled her hair, the man said, "That's a lot of hair."
"She's growing it out."
"Yeah, we know another girl with long hair too.", said Natsu.
"Is that blood in your mustache? Goldie, look at this! Look at all the blood in his mustache. Good sir, that is a lot of blood."
"Yup. Blood.", said Lily.
Before she could continue backing up she bumped into a large man behind her. The man growled and she pointed her frying pan in front of him for defense.
"Don't worry, I'll protect you!", said Happy.
"Calm down, we are here.", said Erza.
"Hey, you don't look so good, Blondie.", said Flynn. "Maybe we should get you home. Call it a day. Probably better off, this is a five star joint after all and if you can't handle this place, well maybe you should be back in your tower."
"Wait!", said Erza.
Before the two could leave, man slammed the door shut and was holding a wanted poster.
"Is this you?', asked the man in a serious tone.
Flynn looked at the paper, moved the man's finger and saw him on the poster, except with a deformed nose.
"Oh, now they're just being mean.", said Flynn.
"Oh, its him alright.", said the man with the hook. "Gredo, go finds some guards!"
The man, Gredo, exited the bar to find some guards.
That reword is going to buy me a new hook.", said the hook man while grabbing Flynns shirt and pointed his hook at Flynn's neck, making him and Rapunzel scared.
Another grabbed Flynn and said, "I could use the money!"
"What about me?", asked the slammed door man. "I'm broke!"
"Oh, crap!", said Gray.
All the men from inside the bar ran up towards Flynn and tried to grab him, pushing Rapunzel and the other out of the way.
"Wow they're really desperate.", said Happy.
"Let's join the fight!", said Natsu as he ran up towards the men and tackle one of them.
"Let's save Flynn!", said Erza as all of the charged at the men.
"We can work this out!", shouted Flynn as each man pulled Flynn.
"Hey! Leave him alone!", shouted Rapunzel as she tried to reach him.
"Gentleman, please!", he said and got punched in the face.
"Gimme back my guy!", she shouted as she hit some of the men with her frying pan but they weren't fazed by it.
All of the men hold Flynn and the air and the hook guy is about to punch him in the face.
"Hold those guys! They're in the way!", said the hook man as he pointed at the Fairy Tail members and a bunch of guys the grabbed all of them.
"Hey, get off!", shouted Natsu.
"Let go!", shouted Gray.
Struggling to get away, Flynn said nervously, "Oh, not the nose!"
Rapunzel grabbed her hair and wrapped it around a wooden hanger on the ceiling. She pulled her hair, making it go up. When she let go of her hair, the hanger smacked the top of the hook guy's head, making everyone stop what they are doing.
"Put him down!", she ordered.
The hook man turned around and looked at her with an angry look on his face.
Rapunzel sighed. "Okay. I don't know where I am and I need him to take me to see the lanterns because I've been dreaming about them my entire life. Find your humanity! Haven't any of you ever had a dream?"
The hook man grabbed his axe from behind his back while one of the men put Flynn on a hanger. Still with an angry look, the man walked up to Rapunzel very close to her face, making her back away little out of discomfort.
"No, don't!", shouted Erza.
When he came close to her, he then had a daydream look in his face and said, "I had a dream once."
"Wait, what?', question the Fairy Tail members with a stun look on their faces.
Without looking, the man threw his axe at a skinny man sitting on a stool that is shackled to a floor and holding a accordions & concertinas. The axe missed his head and landed on the wall behind him, the man looked terrified by it and immediately started playing nervously.
The hook man then started to sing. (Play "I have a dream" First verse) The man then grabbed a guy with a large nose and threw him across the room. The man then ran up towards a piano and started playing it.
All the men in the bar then started to sing. (Choir verse)
"Let me back you up, man!", said Gajeel as he got his guitar and started playing. "I always love fighting, but I mostly want to sing!"
"You get it!", said the hook man.
"This is getting redic-", said both Natsu and Gray until Erza covered their mouths.
"Say anything and I'll kill you.", she said in a cold tone, making both Natsu and Gray shiver.
Rapunzel sat next to the hook man while he played the piano. (Hook man second verse) He then slapped the large nose man as he came up behind the hook man.
Erza then came forward and gather everyone's attention. "I fight vicious monsters and I always protect the people. But mostly, I want to try exostic deserts!"
The man with the large nose came up to Rapunzel. (Large nose man verse one) The man lift up his left arm. He then lifted up his foot. He then handed Rapunzel a flower, which made her smile.
He then sat in a large wooden bucket with an old man who was drunk. The old man open the umbrella while the large nose man pretended to row. The drunk old man then dressed like cupid and the large nose man lifted him in the air using a rope pulley and pushed him in the air, which made Natsu and Gray a little uncomfortable.
(Choir verse two)
Flynn looked annoyed by all of this, along with Gray. But Natsu started to smile on all this commotion.
The big nose man came up to another man and slapped his back, making the man spit out the beer he was drinking. (Large nose verse two)
(Choir verse three) The man made a flower arrangement.
Another man was standing next to decorate furniture.
A man wearing make-up was mining in front of Flynn, making him a little annoyed while Natsu looked at him curiously.
A man made strawberry cupcakes. Erza grabbed one and ate it. She looked so happy when she ate that she hug the man, making him blush.
Two men were sewing each others clothes while another man was doing a puppet show.
(Hook Man third verse). The large man was playing with two small purple unicorns, and he was smiling.
"What about you?", asked the hook man to Flynn, Natsu, Gray, Happy, and Lily.
"To be the strongest mage in Fairy Tail!", shouted both Natsu and Gray in unison.
"Are you trying to copy me?" Both of the broke into a fight.
"To protect my friends.", said Lily.
"To find all kinds of yummy fish!", said Happy.
"And what about you?", asked the Hook man to Flynn.
"I'm sorry, me?', asked Flynn.
"What's your dream?", asked the large nose man as he got Flynn down from the hanger.
"No, no, no. Sorry, boys. I don't sing."
All of the men immediately pointed their swords at Flynn.
(Flynn verse one) Flynn started dancing on top of the bar table very nervously while Natsu and Gray laughed at him. He then went up to the man holding the unicorn dolls and took one of them, which made the man very angry. Flynn then placed the unicorn in a port filled with sand while he lay next to it. He was then grabbed by a bunch of guys and was thrown in the air.
(Rapunzel verse one) Everyone then centered their attention on Rapunzel as she danced on the table while everyone cheered. Through a window, the woman in the maroon dress saw Rapunzel and was shock on what she was doing.
(Choir verse four) All of the men started throwing beer barrels to each other. Flynn was leaning against some barrels until someone grabbed him and set him on the wooden floor. The man that liked unicorn dolls stomped on the wooden floor so hard that a piece of the wood flooring that Flynn was standing immediately sprung up from the ground, sending Flynn into the air and making him land on the large man's horns.
The man then through Flynn in the air and he landed on the side of the beer barrel. The man behind Flynn the pushed him forward and he tried to move his feet quickly as he can as he ran into a group of men that were juggling fire sticks and a man that breathed fire which Natsu ate the fire.
"This is really good fire!" Natsu finished eating the fire, surprising the man.
(Rapunzel, Hook Man, and Large Nose man) Everyone continued to party, dance, drink, and sing like crazy. The hook man and the large nose man lifted Rapunzel up on a table and all cheered. (End Song)
The drunken old man then landed in Rapunzel's arms and they all laughed.
"Let's do that again!", shouted Natsu, Erza, and Gajeel.
"I guess he likes it.", said Gray.
Suddenly, the entrance to the bar burst open. The man that went to get help came in and said, "I found the guards!"
Everyone stopped moving and looked surprised at what they just heard. Flynn then grabbed Rapunzel to hide and she dropped the drunken old man. The members of Fairy Tail followed the two to hide.
The man at the entrance was pushed aside by a man in armor that appears to be the Captain.
"Where's Rider? Where is he!?", he asked demandingly. "I know he's in here somewhere. Find him. Turn the place upside down if you have to!"
As they guards were rummaging the bar, the group was hiding underneath a table. Flynn looked up and saw two other men that came in with the guards both of them hard red hair and were in bonds, except one of them had an eye patch. Flynn immediately went backed down after what he just saw.
"Hey, let's kick these guys asses and get out of here.", said Natsu.
"Done.", said both Gray and Gajeel.
"No. We'll be putting Flynn and Rapunzel in danger.", said Erza.
"Then what could we do?", asked Happy.
A hook then appeared on Flynn's right shoulder. They all looked up and saw the Hook Man guiding the group to an empty wooded area. When he pulled a switch that was on the bar stand, wooded area began to crack open and revealing a small tunnel.
"Go. Live your dream.", said the Hook Man.
"I will.", said Flynn.
"Your dream stinks. I was talking to her and her group of friends."
Flynn entered the tunnel, looking annoyed.
"Thanks for everything.", said Rapunzel as she kiss the Hook Man on the cheek, making him blush. She then headed down the tunnel.
"We hope that your dreams will come true too.", said Erza as the rest went down the tunnel.
"I believe this is the man your looking for.", said the man that plays with unicorns while he present the drunken old man to the guard.
"You got me.", said the drunken old man happily.
The captain looked confused and disgusted.
"Sir, there's no sign of Rider.", said one of the guards.
"Dammit!", said the captain.
Suddenly, they all heard a horse outside. A horse then bursted through the front entrance.
"Maximus!"
The horse, Maximus, put his face on the floor and started sniffing the area. When he came across a group of men, he stood up and pushed them aside with a very serious look and continue investigating.
"What's he doing?", asked one of the guards before the captain covered his mouth and observed Maximus.
Maximus then stopped at the var table with three levers. He then pointed his hove at the wooded area behind the bar. The guards looked confused on what they are looking at. The horse looked disappointed and he pulled the duck lever, revealing the passage.
"A passage! Come on, men. Let's go! Havac, make sure those boys don't get away."
All the guards went down the passage while one guard, Havac, stayed behind and watched the other two men, pointing his spear at them with a brave look on his face. The eye patch man responded by head butting Havoc, knocking him out. He then grabbed the guard's spear and both of them broke their chain bonds.
"Play it safe.", said the man. "We'll go get the crown." Both men entered the passageway.
Meanwhile, the woman in maroon saw the whole thing and looked annoyed. The drunken old man appeared at the bar's entrance, singing about dreams while trying to keep his balance.
When he saw the woman he said, "Whoa! Somebody get me a glass. Because I just found me a tall drink water."
"Oh, stop it you big lug.", she chuckled at the man's comment. She then pointed her knife at the man's nose. "Where does that tunnel let out."
"Knife!", said the old man nervously.
Your wonder why I didn't put the song in. It's because that this website forbid songfics since 2005 because of copyrights, but songs that are made up by the author for their story are allowed that's why the Fairy Tail members have some parts. So look this song up on youtube to get a better understanding. Also, if your expecting to see "Let it Go" in the Frozen world, it's not happening.
