Phil: I rather figured that you fairy tail wizards would be under the false impression that you were the most powerful around.
Brandon: We've heard the rumors. I'll just say that your guild rank is high among wizards. However, naturally wizards don't stand a chance against professional fighters like us.
Natsu: If you guys really are that confident in yourself then let's test out that theory of yours shall we? You two vs me! I'll beat your sorry asses back to when you were born!
Phil: Brave words for a dead man.
Brandon: Big brother I think this guy is mocking us.
Phil: He's a fire wizard. We specialize in fire magic. This will be as easy as stealing candy from a baby.
The two then rushed natsu. Phil who was holding the giant frying pan tried to hit natsu but he was able to dodge all the attacks that Phil sent his way. Unfortunately for natsu since he wasn't paying attention to the other brother he was able to grab Natsu by the back of his vest and throw him through the wall and into another room.
Natsu: Are you sure you want to destroy your clients house like this?
Phil: Tell me boy, do you know what a wizards weak point is?
Natsu: Motion sickness!?
Phil: No. Isn't that your personal weakness? It's how their body's are built!
Phil then charged natsu again and began attacking while talking at the same time.
Phil: Magic requires the training of one's mind and emotion. That means that anyone trying to be a wizard can't focus their time on physical training. Therefore, we who spend our days forging our bodies are well of you in terms of strength and speed. A long time ago a wizard said something. He said that it takes years for a wizard to learn a curse that will break an enemies bones. We faced off against that wizard and faster than he could say his cure my brother Brandon attacked and broke his bones. He spent years learning something that I beat in a lighting fast strike!
Brandon: Those are the limits of wizardry. Take away their magic and their no better than the average human.
Natsu: That may be true. However with all your attacks you haven't been able to hit me even once.
Phil: Yes it's true. You have incredible speed. You've trained some in that area. I'll applaud you for that.
Brandon: Brother if we try that, he can't avoid it.
Phil: Yes your right let's do it.
Brandon then jumped onto Phil's frying pan. Phil then launched Brandon high into the air distracting natsu. While natsu was focused on Brandon, Phil hit natsu sending him back a couple of minutes inches. Before natsu could react Brandon slammed right on top of natsu breaking some of the floor from the impact.
Phil: If one brother can vanish from the view of the enemy then the enemy always looses. We have just shown you the vanish brothers combined attack. The heaven and earth elimination death technique. No one to have felt this attack have ever come out-
Natsu: None of your enemies who felt this attack never what?
Phil: Wha!? That's impossible!!
Brandon: Is this guy really a wizard!?
Natsu: Who cares. Just get ready to be blown away.
Natsu then readied his breath attack shocking both of the brothers
Brothers: Huh!?
Natsu: Fire dragon roar!!
Fire then shot out of Natsu's mouth and headed straight for the brothers
Brandon: Here it comes the fire magic!
Phil: This ends it! Anti-fire-wizard specialty plus my ultimate technique! Flame cooking! My frying pan absorbs your fire and doubles it's power only to spit it right back at you!
Brandon: Thus the fairy gets fried by his own magic. A perfect ending to one such as you.
Phil: The greater the fire magic, then the more certain of the wizards death. Farewell.
Natsu: Didn't you two hear me?
Brothers: What!?
Brandon: You mean the fire didn't work on him!? I don't care how powerful a fire wizard is that's just-
Natsu then grabbed the two brothers by the face and attacked them.
Natsu: Fire dragon wing attack!
Natsu's arms then lit on fire. He then threw the two up in the air burning them in the process.
Natsu: I told you two that you'd get blown away.
Phil: W-what is this wizard?
Brandon: Mama I see fairies.
Phil: Hold yourself together man!
The two then fell to the ground all burnt and knocked out.
Natsu: Now let's go look for Lucy. Wonder where she ran off to.
Currently in another room Lucy is wearing a pair of magic glasses that help her read faster
Lucy: Geez. I never thought a secret like that would be in this book. I don't think we should destroy this book. We have to bring it back to Mr. Kaby-
Duke Everlue: Hahahaha! Who would have ever expected you to walk around with gale-force-reading glasses. I guess that you're a very avid reader.
Lucy: Wait what!?
The Duke then came out of the wall behind Lucy and grabbed her by her arms keeping her from getting away.
Duke Everlue: Now tell me what you found. What is the secret of this book?
Lucy: Damn you! You're an enemy to all literature.
Duke Everlue: What do you mean enemy to all literature? You're talking to a very, very, very, very highly educated aristocrat here.
Lucy: Anybody who'd like those freak maids can't be highly educated!
Duke Everlue: No one is allowed to mock my beautiful blonde maids!!
Lucy: Damn you! That hurts in more ways than one!
Duke Everlue: Where is the treasure map? It's where he hid his fortune right!? What's the secret that's hidden inside that book?
Lucy's thoughts: Shit when he grabbed me I dropped my keys
Duke Everlue: Talk! If you don't I'll break your arms in two and it won't bother me in the slightest since you are ugly.
Lucy: Ah go jump into traffic you miserable old troll!
Duke Everlue: This is not time for you to get smart with me brat! That book is mine! I had Kemu Zaleon write it! If that book contains a secret then that is rightfully mine as well!
Suddenly happy came flying in with wings on his back and smashed his feet into the dukes face freeing Lucy.
Lucy: Happy! Thanks for the save.
Happy: Heh! No problem.
Unfortunately for happy his transformation magic ran out and he fell into the sewer water.
Lucy: Damn it! What type of cat are you!?
Happy: Glaib Babbly
Lucy: He said I'm happy. Now get out of there happy.
Lucy then picked up her keys and pointed one at the Duke.
Lucy: The tabes have turned. If you stop being so interested in this book then I'll let you go.
Duke Everlue: Ah, so your a celestial wizard I see. Even though you may be a well-read young girl your using your words wrong. The tables have turned should only be used when a superior tactical position becomes an inferior position. The addition of one small cat won't help you defeat my diver magic.
Happy: So that was magic. That means that Everlue is a wizard as well.
The Duke then popped up from underground and tried to attack Lucy from below.
Lucy: It was written right there in the book! It's a really terrible adventure story with Duke Everlue as the main character!
Happy: What's that mean!?
Duke Everlue: The idea of having me as the hero was wonderful. But the execution was the problem. The very idea that Kemu Zaleon could write such a load of shit is insulting to me.
Lucy: You forced him to write it! Where do you get the nerve to act so high and mighty!?
Duke Everlue: Act!? I am high and mighty! It is an honor to write a book for me!
Lucy: You blackmailed him into writing it!
Happy: Blackmail?
Duke Everlue: Ha! So what if I did? I'm sure everyone would agree that it's his own fault for refusing in the first place!
Lucy: What kind of stupid reason is that?
Duke Everlue: A very, very, very important person like me ordered him to write a book with me as the hero! But the idiot refused! So I was kind enough to inform him that if he didn't write it, I'd simply revoke the rights of citizenship for him and every relative connected to him!
Happy: Revoke his rights to citizenship? But that would mean that they couldn't join any trade guilds at all! Does he really have the power to do such a thing?
Lucy: There are still areas under feudal law. That would mean that this troll has complete autocratic authority over the entire area.
Duke Everlue: And in the end the upstart did wright it! But national his previous refusal pissed me off. So I had him write it from solitary confinement in my dungeon! Hahahaha! I'll take any lowlife who calls himself an accomplished writer and talks back to me with a pride too high for his situation and I'll break him and end up killing him!
Lucy: What were you thinking putting a human though that for your own amusement!? Do you know what he was doing during those three years of solitary confinement!?
Duke Everlue: Meditating on my greatness of course.
Lucy: No damnit! He was battling against himself. If he didn't write it his entire family would be in danger! But to make an absolute bastard like you into a hero his integrity as an author wouldn't allow him to do it!!
Duke Everlue: Damn you!! How'd you figure all of this out?
Lucy: It's all written down here in this book!
Duke Everlue: Huh? I read that book Kemu isn't in the book.
Lucy: Well of course. Even his fans would be disappointed if they read this normally. But even someone like you should know that Kemu was a wizard before he became an author.
Duke Everlue: Wha!? You're not saying-!?
Lucy: He spent the last of his life putting a spell on this book.
Duke Everlue: You're saying that there's some key that will remove the magic and reveal his hatred for me!? What an insult!!
Lucy: You lack imagination. Yes, the circumstances leading up to this book's completion are all here. But the words that he wrote aren't simply that black and white. The real secret is something entirely different!
Happy: What!?
Duke Everlue: Wha-what did you just say little girl!?
Lucy: That's why you'll never touch this book again! Or what is actually correct is that you never had any right to this book to begin with!!
Lucy: Open gate of the crab! Cancer!
Happy:It's a crab! He's going to end all of his sentences with crab right!? He'll absolutely have to!! He's a crab after all! I just know it!! It's gotta be in the contract, right!?
Lucy: I need to concentrate. If you don't shut up, I'll pinch your paws so hard you'll cry!!
Cancer: Lucy, what hair style are we felling like today shrimp?
Lucy: Don't you see what's going on here!?
Cancer: Shrimp!?
Lucy: We're in a battle here. You have to take down that bald old man!
Cancer: Okay, shrimp.
Happy: I thought he'd hit me with a straight crab, but instead he went with the shrimp hook! You can just send him home!!
Lucy: Go home yourself.
Duke Everlue thoughts: A-a secret she said? But what kind? H-he couldn't have written about my secret under-the-table deals could he!? This could be bad. If that got into the hands of the Council's inspector wizard, it would mean the end of me!
Duke Everlue: Noooo! I command gate of the virgin palace to open!!
Lucy: Huh!?
Happy: He's using the same magic as Lucy!
Duke Everlue: Virgo!
Lucy: Your kidding!
Virgo: You called for me master?
Duke Everlue: Virgo, steal that book from them!!
Lucy: You mean he's a celestial wizard too!? Ah!!
Lucy: Ah!!
Happy: Ah!!
Duke Everlue: Ah!??
Lucy: Natsu!?
Natsu: What where am I?
Lucy: Why would you be with Virgo!?
Lucy: Natsu, how did you-!?
Natsu: How else? She started moving, so I decided that I wouldn't let her go without me!
Lucy's It doesn't make sense! When you say "wouldn't let her go" you mean you physically wouldn't let go!? But I can't believe that a human could pass through the celestial spirit world! That just isn't possible!
Natsu: Lucy! What do you want me to do here?!
Duke Everlue: Virgo, kill all of these insolent rats!!
Lucy: Do the same thing to her!
Natsu: Right!
With just one of Natsu's fire dragon iron fist punches he was able to stop Virgo in her tracks.
Duke Everlue: What!?
Lucy: Your not disappearing underground again! You really are an enemy to literature!
With the combined attack of Lucy and cancer they were able to knock out the Duke. As an added bonus cancer cut off all of the Duke's hair making him bald.
Cancer: Is this the look you requested shrimp?
Natsu: You really made a scene out of it huh Lucy. That's just how a fairy tail wizard would handle it!
Happy: Well I don't know about Erza and Marcus though
After Natsu, Lucy, and happy defeated the Duke and his bodyguards they left the mansion with the book completely intact and headed towards the clients house.
Lucy: This is the book that Duke Everlue forced Kemu Zaleon to write. It's an adventure novel with Duke Everlue as the hero. Its structure and style are terrible. It's not a complete loss however, nobody would think that these words were written by Zaleon. That's how I came up with the idea that there's a secret hidden right inside this book.
Once the three returned to the clients house Lucy gave the book to the client shocking him.
Melon: Wh-what's the meaning of this? I wanted it destroyed. That was the mission.
Lucy: It would be easy to destroy. You can do it yourself Mr Kaby.
Melon: Then I'll go ahead and do just that. I don't want this book anywhere near me.
Lucy: I understand why you despise even the existence of this book. You're trying to protect the memory of your father. You're the son of Kemu Zaleon aren't you?
Melon: Wha!!
Natsu: Your dad!?
Melon: How did you figure that out?
Lucy: Have you ever read the book?
Melon: No. I only ever heard about it from father. I never read it personally but there's no need to read this. Even father told me that this book was a load of shit.
Lucy: That's why you want to burn it?
Melon: That's right.
Natsu: Just because it's boring you want to burn it!? That's a bit extreme even for me! It was written by your dads own hand!
Lucy: Natsu, I told you why! It's to protect his fathers memory and legacy!
Melon: Yes. The fact that my father even wrote daybreak brought shame upon his name. Thirty one years ago my father suddenly appeared after a three year long absence. He ended up cutting his writing hand off exclaiming that he'd never write again. I later asked why he even wrote the damn book in the first place. He told me that the pay was to good to refuse. He said that the whole time he was thinking of me. However, I didn't believe him. It wasn't long after that my father committed suicide. It was probably that weakness in him that made me hate him well after his death.
Melon: But as the months turned to years the hate gradually turned into regret. If I hadn't said those awful things that I did my father might never have killed himself. So to atone even the slightest bit I wanted to find the awful final work of his life and destroy it to protect the honor of my father's name in this world.
Kaby then grabbed a match and lit it. He then held it to the book getting ready to burn it. However, suddenly the book began to glow.
Nastsu: Huh?
Melon: What's going on?
Suddenly the title of the book changed from daybreak into dear Kaby shocking everyone except for Lucy.
Happy: The letters are floating off the book!!
Lucy: Kemu Zaleon, no I'll use his real name Zekua Melon, cast a spell on this book.
Melon: A-a spell? Dear Kaby!?
Lucy: Exactly. The spell he cast allowed the letters to reform themselves. Not just the title but on the inside of the book as well. All of them.
The letters from within the book shot out and started spiraling around everyone.
Natsu. Woah!
Happy: It's pretty!
Lucy: The reason he gave up writing might not have been because he wrote an awful book it could have been because he wrote his best book. The letter he wrote to you Mr Kaby was the best book of his life.
Natsu: That's crazy!
Lucy: This is the book that Kemu Zaleon actually left behind.
Melon: Father. I never even understood my own father.
Lucy: Of course not. If you understood everything in the mind of an author than reading their books would be no fun at all.
Melon: Thank you! I think I won't burn this book after all.
Nastsu: Then we can't accept the fact payment then.
Happy: Nope!
Lucy: Eh?
Melon: Huh?
Nastsu: Our mission was to destroy the book. We failed in carrying it out. So failed mission means no pay.
Lucy: N-no but that isn't what I meant-
Melon: Y-yes it's just their way of saying thank you. It would be rude to refuse.
Happy: Lucy your being awfully greedy. And after you said all those nice things. I'm ashamed of you.
Lucy: Shut it you damn blue cat!
Natsu: If we can't accept, then we can't accept. Well it's time for us to head home. And the melon family should really head home to their own home.
Lucy: Huh?
Lucy, Natsu, and happy then left the building and headed on a long journey back to the guild.
