Here is the next chapter for you all.

I want to thank my Beta Reader, werecat1, for looking this over for me. They have been a super awesome help to me. You should really go look at their work, they have some really cool stories waiting for you. My personal favorite is the Skyrim and Hobbit crossover.

I hope you all enjoy the chapter.

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

Previously:

"Oh yeah, now I got some fire in my belly." Natsu said, then spit what had ended up in his mouth at the Vulcan. Reinhart quickly kicked the Vulcan into the air leveling the ape to be hit and punched into the wall by Natsu's fiery fist.

Reinhart and Natsu high fived, "Now that's how you roast some ape."

The pink haired male laughed, "You can say that again."

"Uh,…" Lucy looked at the males, "…wasn't he supposed to tell us where you friend is?"

Both males sweat dropped and looked at the Vulcan saying at the same thing, "Forgot about that."

Now:

"Well, I don't think he's going to do much talking." Lucy said while the two males continued to look sheepish.

Suddenly without warning they all saw the ape glowing. Reinhart's yellow eyes widened then smacked his head, "Damn it, I knew I was forgetting that about Vulcan's."

Lucy went to ask but was more concerned with covering her eyes like Natsu was. When the glowing stopped Natsu asked, "What the heck was that?" Then the fire breather got it as his pupils dilated, "Macao?"

"Are you telling me that the entire time that perverted monkey was really your friends this whole time?"

"Yep." The brunet haired male covering his eyes, he felt like an idiot. How could he forget such information like that? It was basic knowledge about Vulcan's. He walked over and started to hit his head against the ice wall.

"Uh…are you okay?"

Reinhart didn't answer so Happy spoke up instead, "Yeah, he must have been taken over by that Vulcan." The cat looked over at the brunet haired fighter lightly hitting his head against the wall. "He will be okay, he does this when he feels like he didn't something stupid."

"Something stupid? Like what?"

"Like forgetting Vulcan's fucking possess people. How…can…I…be…so…STUPID!" He had hit his head in-between each word of the last sentence, "I'm and such an idiot. My wife is never going to let me live this down."

Lucy looked between Reinhart still hitting his head against the ice wall and the flying cat, "What do you mean taken over?"

"It must have used a possession spell on him. You see Vulcan's survive by stealing people bodies and taking them over. They are evil body snatchers."

"So then why is…"

Happy made an 'oh' face, "Oh, well one tried to take over Kristina when they were younger." Lucy looked sick, "I remember it so clearly…" As the blue cat talked Natsu walked over to Macao and pulled him over to look him over. "…we were all in the forest. Natsu, Gray, Erza, Reinhart and Kristina when suddenly once came out of nowhere and grabbed Kristi. It was very injured and it had Kristi already under a paralyze spell. All it had to do was the possession but just as it was about to do it Reinhart got super angry and attacked the Vulcan. The Vulcan ran off but we are pretty sure it didn't survive."

"Oh…" Lucy looked over at the male now resting his head against the ice, "…I see now."

"He's always protected her. They came to the guild together." Natsu said then looked at Reinhart, "Hey, mind helping me Reinhart. I need to lay him down on something that is not ice."

"Yeah." The yellow eyed male responded getting off the wall showing the group a small red spot in the middle of his forehead. He had walked over to his bag and pulled out his own blanket and laid in on the ground. Lucy went to got the bandages and healing herbs. Reinhart leaned on the other side of Macao and helped Natsu get the top of the man's clothes off. Then they went about applying the healing herbs and the bandages. After they were done the sat around and waited for the man to wake up.

Lucy sat next to Reinhart, "Hey."

Yellow eyes looked at the blond, "Hi."

"I'm sorry to hear about what almost happened to Kristina." Brown eyes looked at the brunet haired male.

Reinhart chuckled, "Nah, it's okay." The male leaned back and closed his eyes, "It's in the past and she has never let one get that close to her again."

"Is she…really going to tease you about this?" The young female asked curiously tilting her head to the side.

"Yeah, quite a lot. She likes to tease, not that I help."

Happy laughed, "He teases her a lot too. So he often has it coming." The blue cat screamed and darted behind the Fire Dragon Slayer when those yellow eyes landed on him. "Please don't kill me."

"Then keep you mouth shut." Reinhart gripped half-heartedly.

Happy moved to sit next to his best buddy, "It looks like he put up a good fight before that Vulcan go to him though."

Natsu lean on all four looking at Macao seriously, "Macao don't you die on me. Romeo is waiting for you, open your eyes."

With a very soft groan the man woke up and looked at the pinkette, "Natsu."

The made the Dragon Slayer happy while Lucy giggled, "You're okay."

Reinhart gave a small smile, "You look like shit old man."

The blue haired male gave a very small chuckle, "Yeah, it just shows how pathetic I am." A yellow eye peeked out, he had meant that comment as a joke. "I defeated nineteen of those brutes." Lucy went shocked while the fire breather kept a smile on his face. "But the twentieth…that's the one that got me. I'm so angry with myself. I'm embarrassed to go home and face Romeo."

Reinhart frowned, "You will be an idiot if you keep talking like that."

Natsu held his fist up, "I'm with Reinhart. You can't be like that. You beat nineteen of those monsters." Lucy looked to be in plain shock making the yellow eyed male chuckle as he stood and got his things. The pinkette held his hand out the male laying down. With a large smile he said, "Now let's go home, your little boy has been waiting for ya." Macao smiled and chuckled at the teen in front of him.

fffffffffffffffffffffffffffff

The group of four walked into town Reinhart carrying two bags and Natsu helping Macao walk. Lucy was walking behind them with a small smile. It seemed she was thinking. They saw Romeo sitting on some steps rubbing his eyes. Natsu called out, "Hey Romeo!"

The look on the boys face was of absolute joy seeing them with his father. The boy ran up and knocked his father down, "DAD!" Lucy freaked out while Natsu and Reinhart just smiled and watched. "You came back. I'm so sorry dad." Tears fell from Romeo's face as Macao sat up with his son in his arms."

"No, I'm sorry for making you worry."

"I can handle it, because I am a wizard's son." Romeo blubbered out hugging his dad tightly.

"Next time those bullies pick on you here's what I want you to say." Reinhart, Natsu and Lucy started to walk away with Happy flying behind them, "Can your old man beat nineteen monster all on his own? Because mine can."

Romeo yelled out to the retreating group, "Natsu! Happy! Reinhart! Thanks for your help!"

Natsu and Reinhart waved as the pinkette said, "No problem kiddo.'

"Lucy, thanks for helping bring my daddy back." Lucy looked over her shoulder and waved.

Reinhart smiled and looked at the sky, 'One day, one day Tina and I will have a wizard child. I can't wait for the time that we are both ready.'

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF
