SailorStar9: After getting Chapter 24 out, this is Chapter 25 of this fic. (Sighs) Guys and girls, is it too hard for you to leave a review, instead of just putting this fic up on your favorited list and story alerts?

Disclaimers: I own nothing, except for the plot bunny and my OCs.

Chapter 25: Sky Maiden

"There's no mistaking it…" Brain muttered. "Wendy, the Maiden of the Sky."

"The Maiden…" Mars echoed.

"Of the Sky?" Jupiter blinked.

"It's just as I suspected." Mercury sighed.

"I didn't expect to encounter the four Guardian Senshi here." Brain admitted. "Nor you." He turned to Wendy." Looks like I picked up a nice present. Come!" he pointed his wand at the shivering Wendy, a ghastly hand grabbing the Sky Dragon Slayer.

"Money is a great equalizer, yes!" Hot-Eye declared, releasing his 'Liquid Ground' spell to prevent the Senshi from intercepting the capture.

"Shabon Stun!" Mercury fired a jet of bubbles from her fist in mid-air.

"Soul Embers!" Mars released her flame sparks as she landed.

Both Mercury and Mars' healing spells nullified Hot-Eye's magic.

"Good to know those still work." Mars muttered.

"Supreme Thunder…" Jupiter was already calling forth her attack. "Dragon!"

"Crescent Barrage!" Venus added in her attack for good measure

"What is that thing?" Angel gaped at the dragon-shaped construct as the lightning and light dragon shot forward at the Oracion Seis. The said beast swirled around the bruised Stellar Mage, zapping her several times before entering her body. Angel gave a shriek as the electricity gathered released inside her, frying her almost instantly.

"Nasty." Mars mused.

"But why Angel?" Mercury inquired.

"She's currently the weakest." Jupiter shrugged. "Thought I just might be able to take her out before she recovers."

"Carla!" Wendy screamed.

"Wendy!" the white Exceed reached out to grab Wendy's hand, only to have the Dragon Slayer grab Happy's hand by mistake.

"I have no more need for you worms." Brains declared, having taken Wendy captive. "Begone! Dark Rondo!"

"Rockiron Wall!" Jura blocked out the attack. "Just barely in time."

"Planet Attack!" the Senshi blasted their rainbow-colored combination attack at the Oracion Seis.

"Damn it!" Natsu cursed as the dust cleared. "Let me at them."

"Wendy…" Carla muttered.

"Oracion Seis… "Gray mused. "What kind of monsters are they?"

"They're only six of them." Hibiki added. "But they're even more powerful than the data we collected on them suggested."

"And our plan to use Christina is…" Sherry trailed.

"Yes," Jupiter confirmed, the Senshi reversing their transformation. "Angel said so: they knew everything about our plans. Damn, that was tiring, as usual."

"Well, that after we kicked her ass and sent her running." Ditea grinned.

"We?" Reiana muttered.

"Who's the one who dealt with her Stellar Spirits?" Ditea glared.

"Damn you, Oracion Seis..." Ichiya cursed. "How dare you run just as we arrive? We must have scared them off."

"Sheesh…" Carla sighed, tugging Natsu's scarf and pulling him back. "Try calming down a little. Anyway, I'm worry about Wendy and that male cat. But these aren't people we can beat randomly coming at them, right?"

"And besides…" Ditea turned to the wincing Erza.

"Poison is spreading around the place the snake bit you." Lucy realized.

"For my honey, Painkiller parfum!" Ichiya released his Perfume Magic.

"Ichiya, you might want to stop now." Ulyo advised. "It isn't working."

"Ulyo, can you do anything?" Gray asked.

"My mist most probably won't be of any help." Ulyo admitted. "Even with the 'Dew Drip', I'll need to know the exact type of poison to create an antidote."

"Lucy, I'm sorry." Erza apologized. "I'm borrowing your belt. I can't fight like this." she tightened the belt around her arm. "Cut it off." She held out her arm.

"Understood." Lyon took the sword. "I will do it. We need her now more than ever. You value her arm more than her life?" he glared at Gray who had blocked off the blade.

"There might be another way." Gray insisted. "Don't jump to conclusions."

"Erza!" Ulyo caught the swordswoman before she hit the ground. "This is bad. At this rate, the poison will spread throughout her body."

"Wendy can save her." Carla supplied. "This is not the time to be fighting amongst ourselves. We'll work together, to save Wendy. And that male cat, while we're at it."

"Wendy?" Eve echoed. "That little girl has magic that can purify poison?"

"Not just poison." Carla added. "She can cure fevers, stop pain, and heal injuries."

"But I thought Healing Magic was a Lost Magic." Sherry mused. "Wasn't it lost for ages?"

"Just as I thought." Ulyo realized. "Wendy," she turned to Carla. "That child, she is the Sky Dragon Slayer, is she not?"

"A Dragon Slayer?" Natsu gaped.

"The details can wait later." Carla replied. "What we need now is Wendy."

"Which means…" Lyon trailed.

"There's only one thing to do." Hibiki declared.

"We must save Wendy." Eve added.

"Everyone, please hurry." Lucy pleaded as she watched Ulyo use her 'Crystal Drip' on Erza to slow down the poison.

"Fretting about it won't help." Hibiki chided. "But there is something we can do. "Those heading there, and those who remain." He called up his 'Archive'. "We're sort of a makeshift alliance. "But unless we can function as a team, we can't beat them. I can track everyone's movements like this. You're not going to go, Lucy?"

"I can't leave Erza and Ulyo behind, right?" Lucy reminded. "And besides, I'm the least useful in a fight."

"You're too modest." Hibiki remarked. "I've heard the rumours. Like how you beat 19 3-meter tall gorillas. And during the battle with Phantom, you knocked out Mater José barehanded. Or when you fought 1000 Dark Guild members alone at Acalypha."

"Speaking of which, aren't you going?" Lucy inquired.

"I can't leave three women by themselves." Hibiki replied. "And besides, my magic allows me to tell everyone where this place is. Even if we save Wendy and Happy, there's no point unless they can return here."
