"Why are we the only ones going for this mission?" A rather confused Lucy asked Sting as he placed his feet on top of the table, seating comfortably.

"We're the only ones who's here at the moment." Sting said nonchalantly.

Rogue left early with Minerva, Sting said that the two of them would occasionally go to jobs together with her. They left before Lucy woke up so she had no idea why Sting suddenly asked her to join him on a mission.

"Hello? There's Orga and Rufus!" The blonde celestial mage said as she pointed the two mages who's talking in front of the request board.

"They have a different mission to go to." The dragon slayer said, closing his eyes.

"They've been wanting to go to that mission for a week now, they're just too busy." He added.

'Oh' is all Lucy had said before resting his head on the table with a soft thud. She was sympathizing with herself, knowing she'll be stuck with two idiots or as Lucy called the two.

"Then why me?" Lucy mumbled to herself but because of Sting's good hearing, he heard her.

"Because we're a team." He said in a matter of fact.

"But..."

"No buts. We're going later."

"So you won't really give me a choice, ne Sting?" The blonde celestial mage thought. She's too lazy to go on a job that day or maybe she's just not in the mood.


"Hey, what mission are we going to do anyway?" Lucy said as she sat on one of the benches at the train station, their train ride will arrive in about 10 minutes, since the train that just left is already full.

"Defeating some group of thieves and turning them to the local authorities."

"Oh... Are they mages?"

"Some of them are. But most of them are just some regular guys."

"Psh. Those guy's ain't a match for Sting!" A certain red exceed said as he raised his right paw.

"Yeah. They have no match for the Great Sting Eucliff!" The dragon slayer boasted.

"You really know how to boost his ego." Lucy said to Lector, ignoring Sting's shouts to her.


"You look pathetic." The Fairy Tail mage insulted Sting as he kept himself up, hardly able to keep his balance and sweating a lot.

"E-easy for you...to...say." The blond Sabertooth mage said as Lector tried to support Sting again to stand.

"Come on, Stiiiing!" Lector encouraged him again as Sting tried to stay completely still.

"Ugh do I have to?" Lucy said to herself, stopping on her tracks and went back to help Sting. She swung his left arm over her shoulder and placed her right arm around his waist.

"W-What...are you...doing?"

"Dancing." The Celestial mage said sarcastically as they continue to walk to the mayor's office.


"Very well, follow me." A stern looking black haired lady said as she walked towards the office. She made sure that the two that approached the town hall are truly mages before letting them in.

A huge door caught their attention as the said lady gently opened the door after knocking. Leaving the trio outside. After a minute or so, the lady returned, opening the door wide enough for them to pass.

"Mr. Mayor will see you now." She said as she left closing the door as the three proceed to step inside the Mayor's office.

Inside the room is a long table, a chair with a high back facing the windows in front of them and two more chairs in front of the table for other people to sit on.

"Uhh.. Hi? We're mages from Sabertooth and Fairy Tail and we're here because of the mission about a group of thieves." Lucy said as she stepped forward.

The chair slowly turned around and a very, very short man was revealed, jumping out of his seat. He was bald and has a gray beard, he was also dressed in a funny kind of clothes. All in all, he looks like an old circus man.

"Thank goodness! You've arrived!" The mayor said in a high pitched voice, shaking Lucy and Sting's hand excitedly.

"Do you have any information we can use for this job?" Sting asked as he tried to let go of the man's grasp.

"Yes, yes. Come, let us sit first." The old man ushered as he went to sit back to his chair. The two didn't hesitate to sit at the chairs at the opposing side of the mayor.

"The complaints about robbery have been increasing lately, the complaints are all pertaining to a group of masked people. Some even say they hurt the victims if they show signs of objection and some even gave a file of rape complain."

"That's horrible!" Lucy said as she clasped her hands over her mouth.

"Yes, and that's not all. The complaints are mostly about robbery of jewelry shops." The mayor said as the gloomy aura around him darkens.

"Then we'll be sure to catch those criminals." Sting said, wanting to waste no time.

"Thank you." The old man muttered as the trio left the office.

Lucy and Sting, with the help of Lector, surveyed the whole town in both foot and air to find the locations and informations about the said group of thieves.

They have to be careful, for all they know, those guys may be holding someone captive. Or extra tricks on their sleeves.


"That's the place." Lector said in a low voice.

"Are you sure?" Lucy asked as she took another step closer to the tree beside the place.

"Yeah, the townspeople said every 5 o'clock, they could hear shouting and drinking at this part of the town and at the same time, the robbing and crimes starts at this hour." Sting added.

Soon enough, the huge door of the building opened wide, revealing a black haired guy, wearing a brown vest with a green long sleeved shirt underneath.

"Well, i'm off! Those gems ain't gonna pop around here themselves!" The guy said as he waved his hand.

The guy walked past them casually, putting his arms behind his head, walking towards the town.

"What are we waiting for? Let's follow him!" Sting said as he followed the guy sneakily.

Lector and Lucy could only follow him. She thought it would also be a good idea if they could find more details before going to fight those criminals.

As they follow the unknown man, the guy wore his hood and put on a mask to hide his face. He slip on one alley heading to a jewelry shop. Sting, Lucy and Lector carefully followed the man, avoiding to get caught. The guy stood at the side of the shop between the narrow space of it and another building. He carefully drew a circle on the side wall and pushed it like it's nothing and passed through the created hole.

"W-What was that?!" Lucy said, taken aback.

"Let's go!" Sting whispered to them as they followed where the man went through. They hid behind a counter as they look at the man who began to stuff his bag with everything he could find.

Lucy whipped out her Fleuve d'etoiles then targeted the man's arms. Then she immediately tugged the whip, causing the man to fall on his stomach.

"What the hell?!" The guy said as he tried to get up, but unfortunately, Sting is already stepping on his back, preventing him to escape.

Lucy tied her whip on the man's arms securely to prevent him from doing any damages.

"W-who the hell are you?!" He said, struggling from Sting's weight.

"So you're one of those guys..." The blond dragon slayer said, ignoring the man's question.

"What?" His eyebrows meeting, like they're going to pass each other.

"Hey, do you have any hostages?" Sting asked.

"Sting?! That's not the proper way to know!" Lucy exclaimed as she facepalmed at Sting's stupidity.

"He's the great Sting, of course it would be proper!" Lector said, jumping up and down from the man's butt.

The blonde Fairy Tail mage ran her hand on her face, getting more pissed.

"Why am I stuck with this two idiots?" She said, completely giving up on the two idiots.

"Hey!" The dragon slayer said dramatically, quite offended from what he heard.

"So what's the deal?" Sting asked the man struggling to get back on his feet and releasing himself from Lucy's whip.

"I ain't speaking!" The guy snarled.

"Oh? Then we can do something about that." Sting said, grabbing a handful of his hair and proceeded to make the guy eat some chili pepper with a sadistic grin on his face. Where he got the pepper? Lucy would never know.

The blonde celestial mage sweatdropped at the sight of a gagging thief and a dragon slayer forcefully making the guy eat the chili peppers, which Lucy assumed the guy isn't fond of spicy foods. Of course, as the 'torture' began and Sting began to laugh maniacally, Lector was there to cheer for him.

She sat at the counter comfortably, waiting for the blond Sabertooth mage to finish his 'way to make a person talk' session.

"Okay! Stop! Fine, I'm going to tell you! Just please, stop." The black haired guy said, spitting the chili pepper out of his mouth and stopping his exaggerated waterfall tears.

"Took you long enough!" Lector said stuffing another small chili pepper at the poor guy's mouth.

"You can stop now, Lector." Sting said.

The exceed only hopped off from the guy's head.

"Moving on, what's up with you stealing these?" The blonde headed girl asked the guy, raising up his sack filled with stolen goods.

"W-We need those jewels." A plain response was heard.

"No shit, Sherlock." Sting said as he rolled his eyes, completely annoyed.

"For?" Lucy asked, something tells her that there's more than meets the eye.

"I-I.." He contemplated whether to tell them the truth.

"Speak already! We don't have all day." A certain dragon slayer said.

"What is it?" Lucy said, shoving a handful of chili pepper to Sting's mouth to shut him up. The latter only glared at her before spitting the peppers.

"Why do you need those? I'm sure it's not just for money." She added. It's true, of they truly want money they could have just robbed the bank a few meters away from there. They saw that that bank isn't heavily guarded and can easily be robbed.

"We need it... to resurrect our queen." The guy said, looking down to avoid their gazes.

"W-What?" Lucy stammered as Sting's eyes became wide.

"What are you talking about?" The blond dragon slayer questioned, narrowing his eyes.

"Those gems... We need those in order to 'resurrect' our queen who was trapped in the portrait."

"Portrait?"

Before the guy could even reply, someone shooted him from the outside. The trio could only watch him fall back, face first on the floor.

"I think that's enough storytelling for now." A deep voice said, sending shivers to Lucy.

"Bastard! What did you do?!" Sting said, stepping forward ready to launch his attack anytime.

"Why, to make him rest of course." The voice said, emerging from the shadows.

A guy with white, long hair that reached his shoulders, wearing a black cloak appeared.

"I guess it's a little too late for some... friendly chat. And since I can't risk the fact of you knowing informations about us, I'm afraid I have no use of you." As he said that, a whirl of black smoke surrounded the three mages.

"Ahhh!" Lucy screamed, desperately trying to suck in air.

She put her hands on her neck, trying to pull whatever is choking her but only to find nothing but air.

"Ngghhh. B-Bastard... I-I'm going to k-kill.. ngghh.. you.." Sting snarled as he tried to release a dragon's roar but failing miserably. He also tried to attack him by trying to punch him or attack him with his stigma but nothing worked. His magic isn't working.

"Oh my, you shouldn't move another inch though. More movement means the tighter the air will seem. At the same time, the air surrounding you right now also hinders you to use any form of magic." The guy said, inching closer to Sting.

When he got closer, the guy lifted Sting's head using the tip of his index finger.

"You should sleep now."

"W-who are you?" Lucy managed to speak out as darkness started to take over her.

"Oh I haven't introduced myself, have I not? I'm Agotamien." An innocent smile crossed his face.

The trio soon fell unconscious.


"Hey, are you okay?" The black haired Sabertooth girl asked her partner as she felt him stopped walking.

"Yeah." The dragon slayer said, continuing to walk.

"Why do I get this bad feeling all of a sudden?" He thought.
