A/N- sorry this chapter took so long. Two weeks ago was dead week at University and last week was Finals week, so I'm a little dead feeling right now. And I just moved on Friday, and I'm currently pet/house sitting for family friends. So, my life is a bit crazy right now.
I love every single one of your guy's reviews. They make me smile.
I did a question about Edolas arc. At first I wasn't gonna do it, but now I'm on the fence about it. I may do a little bit of it, but shorten the arc by a lot, because it is a very long arc. I also need to re-watch the arc to see how I can adapt it to the story.
Sorry there is not very much Tawna and Wendy talking in this chapter, they will get to know each other better later on in a chapter or two. So be patient!

Chapter 20
"A kid?" Lyon asks, looking at Wendy and Tawna at the door.
"We already had one guild send a kid, we don't need another," Sherry crosses her arms in front of her chest.
"What was that, Puppet girl," Tawna walks over to her glaring.
"You heard me, Short stuff," Sherry glares down to the small Dragon Slayer, "Why are you even here anyways?"
"You wanna find out?" Tawna glares with her hands glowing blue.
"Calm down, Kid." Gray sighs picking up Tawna and glances to Sherry, "I wouldn't provoke her if I was you." He states and sets Tawna down between himself and Natsu.
"Cait shelter must really be hurting for members if they only sent that kid," Sherry huffs.
"She isn't alone," A female voice speaks, "You mustn't jump to conclusions."
"Huh?'' The group of wizards gasp as a white cat steps forward.
"It's a cat," Lyon states.
"She's just like Happy," Natsu and Tawna say together, then glance to their blue cat.
"Happy," Tawna smiles then pauses seeing the cat's heart shaped eyes, "Looks like someone fell for love at first sight," She laughs jumping on Natsu's back.
"She can talk too," Lucy smiles.
"Oh Carla," Wendy turns, "You followed me here?"
"Of course I did child," Carla states, "You are far too young to be traveling unaccompanied."
"Pretty kitty," The Trimens say in unison, accompanied by poses.
"You flirt with cat's too?" Lucy asks shocked.
"I'm not even surprised anymore," Tawna shakes her head.
Carla turns and looks at Happy, and the hearts in his eyes become larger. Happy quickly walks over to Lucy, getting her attention.
"Lucy, I'll give you my fish if you tell her I haven't been neutered yet," Happy begs.
"You keep lookin' up my skirt, you will be," Lucy snaps making Tawna giggle.
"I think your cat just fell in love," Tawna says to Natsu, receiving a laugh from him.
"Sorry," Wendy apologizes, "I know I'm not what you expected. I know I'm much smaller and younger than all of you, and I may not be much of a fighter, but I know a lot of support magic." She says shyly, "Please, let me join the group. I'd be so embarrassed if you sent me back."
"You'll never gain their respect if you don't have any confidence," Carla reprimands.
"You're not the smallest, you're taller than Katawna," Gray laughs glancing to the small Dragon slayer on Natsu's back. Tawna sighs and buries her head into Natsu's shoulder making him laugh as well.
"I just haven't hit my growth spurt yet," Tawna glares at Gray.
"Please excuse our reactions," Erza smiles, "We were simply caught off guard. We are happy to have you with us."
"Wow," Wendy says in awe, "You're Erza, I can't believe it's really you."
"You're not the quite the monster I pictured," Carla states.
"Surly you have heard of Happy the Cat," Happy jumps in trying to impress Carla, "Brace yourself, cause he's right here." Carla glances to him them looks away once more.
"Happy is just not gonna give up," Tawna laughs.
"That's for sure," Natsu says as they watch as the Trimens bring out the sofa once more and drag Wendy over.
"Poor girl," Tawna sighs, "It looks like it's her turn to deal with those three." Both Dragneels watch the girl, both falling into deep thought.
"Don't hurt yourselves," Gray states, "Thinking must be painful."
"It's weird," Natsu says, "I feel like I have heard her name before."
"Thank goodness," Tawna sighs, "I thought I was the only one who was thinking that." She says as they start to think harder.
"It hurts just watching you two," Gray sighs.
"Can you remember for us?" Natsu asks turning to Gray.
"What?" Gray asks then sighs.
"She seems really familiar," Tawna whispers in Natsu's ear, "I feel like I have met her before, but I don't know where."
"Same here," Natsu says glancing over his shoulder to his little sister, then back to Wendy who smiles at the siblings.
"Got anything Gray?" Tawna asks as Natsu turns his body back to Gray.
"Still working on it," He sighs shaking his head.
"Keep thinking," Natsu says, then glances over his shoulder, "Why are you on my back?" He sighs.
"I don't know," Tawna shrugs, "I just felt like it," She smiles hugging around his neck tighter.
"Get off me," Natsu complains.
"Fine," Tawna sighs and slides off his back and stands next to him, as Ichiya steps out into spot lights.
"Okay," The short man poses, "Now that we are all present, it's time to get the mission briefing underway."
"gonna brief us through interpretive dance?" Lucy sighs.
"It wouldn't surprise me if he did," Tawna laughs next to the blonde.
"Our first order of business is to determine the location of the Oracion Seis." Ichiya poses, "Right after I make a letter of the alphabet." He says scooting away.
"Great, If he's making the letter poop, I'm out of here." Gray sighs.
"I'm with you," Tawna laughs.
"we're rooting for ya teacher," The Trimens clap.
"Can't you guys pick a title to call him?" Lucy asks annoyed. Tawna looks to the other side of Lucy and see's Wendy still looking a bit nervous. She walks around Luce and stands next to the blue haired mage, nudging her arm.
"Don't be so nervous," Tawna smiles to the other twelve-year old.
"I'm sorry, I can't help it," Wendy says, "How do you stay so calm?"
"Stop apologizing, you haven't done anything wrong." Tawna smiles then shrugs, "I don't know, I love going on missions. You'll be fine," She smiles. Wendy's nervousness fades slightly and she smiles back.
"okay," Ichiya says as he goes back to his spot light.
"This is gonna be good," Tawna mumbles under her breath, making Lucy giggle.
"To the north lies the Worth Woodsea, where a powerful force was sealed. A power called Nirvana!" Ichiya says in the mist of his many poses.
"These poses are really getting on my nerves," Gray grumbles.
"Nirvana?" Natsu and Lucy question.
"Never heard of it." Lyon adds.
"Bugs, you read a lot." Natsu says glancing around Lucy, "Have you heard of it?"
"Nope," Tawna shakes her head, "I'm just as lost as you guys are."
"Do you know what it is?" Sherry asks Jura.
"No," He answers simply.
"We don't know much about this power, except for its name and that it is destructive." Ren states.
"and that the Oracion Seis wants it, badly." Eve adds.
"destruction magic, huh," Natsu thinks.
"Okay, I have a bad feeling about this," Lucy states.
"This is why we assume they traveled to the Worth Woodsea." Hibiki explains, "They are desperate to get their hands on such a powerful magic source."
"To prevent that from happening…" Ichiya starts.
"We much destroy the Oracion Seis," The rest of Blue Pegasus joins in and pose with their leader.
"We may have the advantage in numbers, but remember…" Ren starts.
"We can't underestimate them." Eve says.
"They are incredibly strong, we could be in over our heads." Hibiki states as he pulls up a keyboard and screen.
"That's Archive." Jura says.
"Don't think I have ever seen it in use before." Lyon states.
"And it does what exactly," Sherry asks.
"It stores information," Hibiki says as six pictures appear before the team, "such as these photos of our enemy. Don't ask how we got them." He says diving into describing the pictures, "First up is the snake wizard, Cobra."
"Beady eyes and a mischievous smirk. Looks like trouble to me." Natsu says crossing his arms in front of his chest.
"You're one to talk," Tawna laughs.
"Talk about the pot calling the kettle black," Lyon and Gray state.
"Next is Racer," Hibiki continues, "Based on his name, he may use speed magic."
"I don't like the looks of this guy." Gray glares.
"Then there's a wizard willing to wipe out an entire military unit, for the right price. This is Devine Eyes Hoteye."
"He kills for money?" Sherry asks.
"That's just sick," Tawna scowls.
"Then we have Angel." Hibiki continues, "Don't let her looks fool you, she's anything but an angel."
"The beautiful but deadly type, huh." Lucy sighs.
"This next member is such a mystery that we only got his name, Midnight." Hibiki states.
"That's an odd name," Erza states, "Could it correlate to his power?"
"Then finally, their leader Brain." Hibiki finishes, "There you have it, the Oracion Seis. Alone they could wipe out an entire guild, together they are unstoppable. We have 13 to their 6, but that is our only advantage" He says as the archive disappears.
"Question," Lucy shakes, "Can I volunteer to stay behind and not die today.
"Me too," Wendy trembles, "May I please do home?"
"You may not," Carla snaps to the girl.
"There is nothing to fear my friend," Ichiya adds, "There is more to our mission than mortal combat, with your help then maybe we can find their strong hold!" He boasts between his poses.
"Strong hold?" Natsu questions.
"We have looked everywhere, but have had no luck." Ren states as Hibiki types away on Archive.
"They have to have a temporary base somewhere." Eve says.
"And," Ichiya boasts, "Once we find it, our job is to gather to Oracion Seis inside."
"And how are we supposed to do that?" gray questions.
"We beat them up, of course!" Natsu shouts with flames escaping his mouth.
"Cool it, Bro," Tawna glares at her overly eager brother.
"He's a little too excited," Lucy sighs.
"Ya think," Tawna laughs.
"So, what's the next step of the plan?" Erza asks.
"We will blow them to oblivion!" Ichiya shouts, "With help from Christina."
"I thought the bomber was just a myth." Sherry states.
"Is that really necessary?" Lucy asks shocked.
"That's the kind of opponent we face." Jura adds.
"These six must not play around," Tawna states.
"Under no circumstance should you engage the enemy in one on one combat." Jura announces, "Our best option is to separate and devote groups of two and three to one member of the Oracion Seis." The allied team all nods to their newly found information.
"This is a nightmare!" Lucy shakes.
"This is too much pressure," Wendy trembles as well.
"Come on you two," Tawna grins, "This could be fun," She smirks.
"Yeah!" Natsu shouts with flame engulfing his hands, "Let's go! I'm fired up now!" He bursts through the mansions doors and begins to running toward the Worth Woodsea shouting something as he goes.
"Natsu!" Tawna shouts in the midst of a laugh.
"Where do you think you're going!" Lucy shouts as the rest of the group follows outside.
"Always acting foolishly," Erza shakes her head.
"I wonder about his mental state sometimes," Lucy sighs.
"He sure knows how to get a mission started," Tawna laughs.
"I bet he didn't even listen to the plan," Gray laughs.
"You're probably right," Tawna smiles.
"Over kill much?" Ren sighs looking at the damage to the Pegasus mansion.
"Well," Tawna grins with a blue magic circle forming on the ground in front of her body. Rising out of the circle is a flat sheet of ice, "Whose ready to play catch up," she kicks the board down and lands on a small wave.
"Tawna's right," Erza shouts, "Let's go!" She shouts as Tawna surfs ahead, followed closely by Erza, Lucy, and Gray.
"Do we have to," Lucy cries.
"Quit whining Lucy!" Tawna shouts surfing back near the celestial mage, "We haven't even started fighting yet!" Tawna grins surfing back up to the front, doing a few tricks as she goes.
"You're just like your brother, you're way to excited for this," Lucy sighs catching up to the rest of the Fairy Tail group, followed soon after by the rest of the allied team.
"I see Natsu!" Tawna shouts, "And the Woodsea!"
"There it is!" Natsu shouts.
"Wait up, Flame Brain!" Gray shouts as the approach the enthusiastic fire mage.
"In your dreams," Natsu grins.
"Do you even know what the plan is!" Tawna shouts.
"Stop right now, Natsu1" Erza demands, "That's an order!"
"This isn't something you can do alone," Tawna adds.
"Erza's just scared I'm gonna show her up," Natsu smirks.
"What!" Erza glares, "Stop moving your feet right now!" She shouts, making Natsu squeal and fall off the cliff looking over the woods below.
"That got him to stop," Gray says looking over the cliff as Lyon and Sherry catch up.
"If he's not dead, I'll kill him." Erza states.
"He hasn't changed at all," Sherry states looking down to the trees below.
"It's embarrassing to know I once crossed fist with that fool," Lyon laughs.
"We're gonna have to go down this cliff, aren't we?" Tawna shakes from behind Gray.
"Sorry, kid," Gray laughs as he picks her up, "You might wanna close your eyes."
"What?" Tawna asks, then realizes what Gray is doing, "Wait, Gray, NOOOOO!" She shouts as Gray jumps down the cliff and slides down the gravel.
"Told ya to close your eyes," He laughs as they make it to the bottom, followed by Erza, Lyon and Sherry.
"Tawna, sniff out your brother!" Erza shouts. Tawna nods and they begin to run in the direction of Natsu's scent.
"This place doesn't feel right," Tawna says glancing around, "It smells weird."
"The magic energy is weird as well," Gray adds, "The deeper we get, the worse it gets."
"We need to keep our guard up," Lyon states as Sherry and himself run closer to them. Breaking through the trees once more, Tawna catches Natsu in her sight.
"Natsu, slow down!" She shouts as they get closer to him.
"You guys finally caught up!" Natsu grins.
"You're on sturdy freak!" Gray snaps as a shodow begins to fall over them. Natsu stops suddenly making Tawna run into his back, falling backwards.
"Ow, Natsu!" She glares standing and Gray also runs into Natsu as well.
"Damn it, Fire Freak!" gray snaps as their heads clash.
"You wanna piece of me! Natsu shouts back.
"Stop it!" Tawna shouts trying to split the two up.
"Focus!" Erza shouts pushing their heads apart, then clanking up to the sky above.
"What's that?" Natsu asks.
"It must be Christina," Tawna states looking up in awe.
"Wow," Lucy says as her, Wendy, Carla, and Happy catch up to the group.
"It's huge," Wendy states in awe.
"Okay!" Erza states turning facing the wizards behind her, "Let's split up and begin searching."
"I call flying the bomber thing!" Natsu raises his hand.
"Not happening," Gray quickly responds.
"You are the last person we need in control of a bomber." Tawna crosses her arms in front of her overalls. Suddenly an explosion erupts from above and Christina begins to go down.
"What!" Lucy shouts.
"What's wrong with Christina?" Hibiki shouts as more blasts bring Christina to flames barreling to the ground, exploding with a bright light.
"oh no," Tawna and Wendy say together covering their mouths. Natsu sniffs the air then glances back to his sister and Gray.
"You smell that, Bugs?" Natsu asks.
"Yeah," She nods stepping back closer to Lucy and Wendy.
"We have company, don't we," Gray says stepping forward, "Everyone be ready!"
"I can't do this," Wendy stuttered hiding behind a large rock.
"Don't hide, Child!" Carla scowls as the smoke begins to clear. Six figures begin to approach the group of wizards, stopping to stand in front of them.
"It's got to be them," Lucy says looking to the dark wizards a head of them.
"It's the Oracion Seis." Tawna scowls.
"You lowly maggots," Brain states looking to the guilds before them.
"I'm afraid, Short Stuff isn't gonna make it to the party," Angel winks with two floating blue creatures next to her head.
"Neither is that big, bald Wizard Saint," One of the floating creatures says.
"Their defeated?" Lyon asks in shock.
"Impossible," Hibiki glares.
"They already took out Ichiya and Jura?" Tawna asks widening her eyes.
"There's terror in their voices," Cobra smirks, "I can hear it"
"The quicker we wrap this up, the better," Racer adds, "I'll run you over so fast, I'll make your heads spin."
"are the puns really necessary?" Tawna raises one of her eyebrows.
"Tawna," Lucy shakes slightly, "I don't think this is the time for your sass."
"Money determines strength in this world, oh yeah," Hoteye boasts.
"Is it sad that I'm terrified of the sleeping one?" Lucy whispers looking towards Midnight floating on a carpet snoring.
"No," Tawna states, "His magic energy feels the darkest of them all."
"Great," Lucy sighs.
"I have to admit, "Erza starts, "I didn't expect you to show yourselves this early."
"Ready Gray?" Natsu smirks.
"Yeah," Gray grins cracking his knuckles.
"You guys want and invitation," Cobra smirks darkly.
"Being her is enough for us!" The two boys shouts charging toward the Oracion Seis. Suddenly Racer disappears from where he was standing, and appear behind Natsu and Gray kicking them from behind.
"Huh!" Tawna shouts in shock.
"Natsu, Gray!" Two Lucys shout, "Huh?" they look to one another. The clone scowls and begins whipping the other.
"Surprise," The Lucy clone smirks.
"Why am I whipping myself!" Lucy shouts.
"Leave her alone!" Tawna shouts kicking Lucy in the stomach.
"Ow, Tawna!" Lucy scowls to the twelve-year-old.
"Opps," Tawna cringes, "wrong Lucy."
"You think!" Lucy shouts, "Get one who was whipping me!" Lucy points to the clone. Tawna glares to the smirking clone and charges after her.
"Not going to hit the wrong one this time!" Tawna shouts with her hands glowing blue, taking a swing at the clone. The clone smirks and disappears before Tawna's punch could connect, "Huh?" She asks as Racer comes out of nowhere and kicks the young Dragon Slayer to the ground, sliding towards Natsu.
"Tawna!" Natsu asks concerned helping her up.
"He's so fast," Tawna says standing, "I can't even sense the water in his body, or his magic energy." She states standing next to her brother, ready to fight once more. Natsu glances to the wizard Midnight and glares.
"Quit sawing logs and join the fight!" He shouts.
"Uh, I don't think he's the one you wanna wake up." Tawna says cringing.
"Let's wake him up," Natsu smirks down to his sister.
"I have a feeling I'm gonna regret this," Tawna sighs.
"Wakey, Wakey!" Natsu shouts, "Fire dragon…"
"Water Dragon…"
"Roar!" The two Slayers send the mixture of fire and water to the sleeping member of Oracion Seis. Their blasts go around the wizard and explode behind him as he still snores away.
"What?" The siblings gasp.
"He should be barbequed and soaking wet by now," Natsu states.
"He deflected it somehow," Tawna adds as Racer appears behind the two Dragneels.
"Be careful," racer warns as he kicks the siblings back to the ground.
"Ahh," Tawna groans as she goes tumbling back towards Lucy and the rock Wendy and the cats are hiding behind.
"Tawna… Uggg!" Natsu shouts as Racer repeatedly kicks and punches him.
"You wake him up, it's gonna be your nightmare!" Racer shouts quickly kicking the Dragon Slayer.
"Katawna!" Wendy shouts seeing the other girl hit the rock she's hiding behind.
"I'm okay," Tawna groans as Lucy helps her up. She glances around and see's everyone getting beat, badly. "These guys aren't messing around." She says as the snake that is accompanying Cobra bites Erza in mid-air. "Erza!" Tawna shouts running forward, just to be kicked back to the ground near Natsu, by Racer.
"How pathetic," Brain states standing above the fallen wizards, "Prepare for oblivion to break!" he says as green and purple dark magic explodes from his skull.
"What is this magic," Sherry groans, "It feels so dark."
"I can't move," Hibiki struggles. The powerful magic flows around Brain until he catches the eye of Wendy, who is still hiding behind the large rock. Suddenly the magic fades and comes to a stop.
"What happened?" Tawna asks raising her head to look to her brother.
"I don't know," Natsu groans.
"What's going on?" Racer asks.
"Yeah," Cobra crosses his arms in front of his chest, "Aren't ya going to cast that thing, or what?"
"Wendy," Brain says with his eyes wide.
"Did he just say Wendy?" Lucy asks raising her head.
"Do you know her?" Cobra asks.
"There's no doubt about it," Brain looks over to the young blue haired girl, "That's her, Wendy, The Maiden of the Sky."
"The Maiden of the Sky?" Gray questions.
"Wendy?" Tawna questions looking over to the girl.
"What does that even mean?" Wendy shakes crouching to the ground holding her head.
"Just to think," Brain states, "We just simply stumbled across her. This quite a find my friends. Grab her!" A purple magic circle appears from his skull staff and a green arm comes out and grabs the young girl.
"Ahh!" Wendy yells as the arm begins to pull her towards the Oracion Seis.
"Wendy!" Tawna shouts trying to stand.
"Un-hand her!" Carla shouts as her and Happy run after her.
"Help me!" Wendy shouts reaching her hand out to the cats below.
"striking while we're down?" Natsu says trying to stand, "That's not fair!"
"Let Wendy go!" Tawna glares.
"All is fair in money and war." Hoteye boasts as he begins to raise his hand out.
"It's love and war!" Tawna corrects him as he makes the ground below them alter and deform. Sending the wizards flying in all directions.
"Tawna!" Natsu grabs his sister in mid-air, protecting her from the fall.
"Grab my paw!" Carla shouts getting closer to Wendy. Wendy reaches down and grabs the closest paw, and Happy's feet are pulled off the ground, "You have the wrong cat!" Carla shouts and both Wendy and Happy are disappear into the green magic hand.
"Happy," Natsu and Tawna shout.
"Wendy!" Carla shouts at the same time.
"I have no use for the rest of you! Be gone!" Brain shouts sending out blasts of magic raining over the other wizards.
"Everyone get down!" Gray shouts.
"Lucy!" Ren shouts covering the blond.
"Tawna, get down!" Natsu shouts shielding her body with his own. Before the magic could hit the teens and pre-teen, pillars of the earth shoot up out of the ground taking the hit.
"Jura!" Tawna smiles.
"That was awesome!" Sherry shouts.
"Just in time," Hibiki sighs, "We owe you one.
"Yeah, we were almost goners." Lucy sighs.
"Okay," Natsu says sitting up with Tawna, "Let's take them down." The dust disperses and the Oracion Seis is gone.
"They are long gone," Gray states.
"Why did we let them get away!" Natsu shouts.
"If you didn't notice," Tawna crosses her arms in front of her chest, "They kind of beat us."
"Oh Wendy," Carla sighs looking toward where the dark guild was once standing.
"We didn't stand a chance," Eve says standing.
"The Oracion Seis has some unbelievable power." Lyon states.
"There's only six of them," Hibiki adds, "They're a lot more powerful than what the rumors made them out to be."
"According to Angel, the one who can peer into minds." Jura states, "They know everything about our mission. We are lucky that no one was killed."
"What about the ones piloting Christina?" Lucy asks.
"Don't Worry," Hibiki smiles.
"There was no one inside," Eve says, "It's under a remote-control function."
"I guess that's better," Lucy sighs.
"I'm glad to see you made it out unscathed," Lyon says approaching Jura.
"Actually, I barely made it out alive," Jura states, "If it wasn't for Ichiya's pain-killer parfume, I'd be in utter agony right now."
"We maybe battered," Ichiya states, "But we are not beaten. Here, take a whiff, and let my pain-killer parfume easy your pain." He says opening a vial and the fumes begin to leak out.
"Wow," Lucy sighs, "That really works."
"But what do we do now?" Natsu asks.
"Yeah, they have Happy and Wendy." Tawna adds.
"We have to go find them!" Natsu shouts running towards the trees, but only to be stopped by Carla grabbing his scarf.
"You mustn't be reckless," Carla scolds floating above Natsu, "Need to calm down and think this through."
"Good luck getting him to do that," Tawna shakes her head.
"Hey, she's flies too," Lucy says.
"What have you never seen Aero-magic before?" Carla asks.
"You're trying to copy Happy aren't you?" Natsu says laying on his back.
"As if," Carla glares.
"It's okay," Lucy smiles, "We can have two flying cats."
"Even though I am concerned about Wendy and that Tom-Cat, we can't just run into this without a plan."
"Carla is right," Tawna sighs, "We need a plan. Those guys wiped the floor with us."
"I whole heartily agree Lady Carla, and Lady Katawna. This enemy is far more powerful then we anticipated." Jura agrees.
"But first," Carla states, "I think we have a bigger problem at hand." She say glancing to Erza who is holding her arm where the snake bit it.
"Oh no, Erza." Tawna shouts running over to the red head.
"Is she okay?" Natsu asks concerned.
"It looks like the venom is spreading." Lucy says as Erza falls to the ground.
"Ugggg," Erza shouts in agony.
"Master Ichiya," The Trimens says looking to their leader.
"Don't worry," Ichiya boast posing with his vial of pain-killer parfume, "All you need is some pain-killer parfume, my Honey!" HE shouts sending the parfume towards Erza.
"How is pain killers supposed to help venom?" Tawna rolls her eyes.
"His parfume also has a cleansing effect." Hibiki says, "It should help her body expel any toxins." Erza grips her arm tighter leaning against the tree for support.
"Erza, you okay?" Gray ask concerned.
"It looks like she's in more pain." Natsu states as Erza lets out another scream in pain.
"Hold on Erza," Tawna says.
"What should we do?" Lucy asks.
"I'm… sorry Lucy…" Erza struggles, "I need to… barrow your belt." She says grabbing the blonde's black belt from around her hips.
"Hey!" Lucy shouts as her skirt begins to fall off her hips.
"got ya, Lucy!" Tawna hurries and grabs her belt loops catching her skirt.
"Thanks," Lucy sighs in relief, grabbing her skirt to hold up herself. Erza uses the belt to tie a tourniquet around her arm and throws a sword to the ground in front of her.
"Erza, what do you think you're doing/" Tawna asks concerned.
"It's harsh, but it's the only way I can keep fighting." Erza states placing a piece of cloth in her mouth, "Somebody cut it off." She mutters.
"Are you crazy!" Gray shouts, "Give us time to figure something out."
"We… Don't have time." Erza cringes.
"Fine," Lyon states stepping forward taking the sword, "I'll do it."
"Put down the sword!" Gray demands.
"Just do it!" Erza shouts.
"Erza, you're being irrational!" Tawna shouts, "Don't listen to her Lyon!"
"Cut it off!" Erza demands.
"We can't lose one of our strongest," Lyon states raising the sword.
"If you cut it off, she could bleed out!" Tawna glares.
"I can't believe we are stuck with you little fairies. Quite wining of your friend is gonna die." Sherry snaps.
"Your friend is gonna die is he doesn't put doesn't put down the sword." Lucy glares.
"Do it, before the venom spreads to the rest of my body!" Erza groans.
"Put the sword down!" Gray shouts stepping in front of Erza
"Ready!" Lyon shouts as he begins to bring the sword down. Gray creates ice ready to stop the sword.
"No!" Tawna shouts with a small magic circle appears in the palm of her hand and before the sword connects with the ice, Lyon stops.
"Huh?" Gray says confused, expecting the sword to connect to the ice. Then he glances to Tawna, "Katawna?"
"I can't move," Lyon says confused. His arms lower and his fingers release the sword sending it falling to the ground.
"Tawna," Natsu says shocked, as he sees the magic circle in her palm disappear. Lyon catches his breath and tests out his limbs.
"What happened?" Lyon asks, "I couldn't move my body. It's like I lost all control."
"Sorry," Tawna states, "I couldn't let you do it." She glares.
"What did you do?" Lyon asks looking to his hands.
"Can't believe it?" Jura says in awe, "She's capable of doing that spell."
"Ahhh!" Erza shouts bringing their attention to the scarlet wizard. Her eyes roll back and she passes out.
"Erza!" Tawna and Lucy shout kneeling down next to her.
"Her arm is more important to you guys than her life?" Lyon glares.
"We can't jump to conclusions, cutting off her arm will affect her for the rest of her life." Gray growls.
"We need to do something," Lucy says.
"We need to find a way to stop the venom from spreading." Eve adds.
"We need Wendy," Carla states, "She could save your friend."
"Wendy?" Lucy asks.
"How can Wendy save her?" Hibiki asks.
"Does she have some kind of anti-venom magic?" Eve asks.
"Not just anti- venom, she can help fevers and heal wounds." Carla states.
"But isn't healing magic a lost magic?" Sherry asks, "There's no way she could use them."
"Do these powers have to do with this Maiden of the Sky thing?" Lucy asks.
"Yes it does," Carla scowls, "That little girl is the Sky Dragon Slayer."
"She's a Dragon Slayer too?" Tawna and Natsu ask shocked.
"Yes," Carla states, "I'll give you all the details later, but for now we need to find her and that Tom-Cat."
"Carla is right," Jura states, "We need to split up."
"I'm gonna stay behind with Erza," Lucy states.
"As will I," Hibiki steps forward.
"Okay," Jura nods, "Ichiya, Ren, and Eve you will be a team. Lyon, Sherry, and I will team up. Finally, Natsu, Gray, Katawna, and Carla will be a team. Let's locate Wendy."
"Aye!" The teams shout as they all split up to search for The Skye Dragon Slayer.
A/N- sorry again for the longer wait. I'll try to do better. I hope you all enjoyed and please review and if you have any questions or concerns don't be afraid to contact me.
