Alright welcome back my fanfic fanatics id like to give a shout out to Shadowfistdragon666 for favoriting this story. I appreciate it now just to point out I wanna make this chapter a bit shorter because I got other projects I wanna work on. Also because there are many fics with this arc i'll only be focusing on the parts with Zodie Wendy and Carla.

Chp 2: New Plan

The coalition of light guilds just suffered a major defeat Erza was poisoned everyone got wrecked and one of their own was captured; Wendy Marvel. No one was more devastated about this but Zodie, the phoenix child repeatedly punched the ground over and over again to vent out his frustration.

"I couldn't save her, what is wrong with me"?

"Zodie, that's enough child I understand your frustration but sitting her sulking won't save Wendy". Carla said.

"Lady Carla is right Zodie, please stay calm for your friends sake". Jura said, placing his hand on his shoulder.

"Geez those guys were way too powerful". Ren grunted.

"We had them outnumbered but we were outmatched, Jura I'm glad you're ok now". Lyon said.

"I have Ichiya to thank for that. His pain relief parfum was what I needed. Now I'm ready to fight".

"And speaking of pain relief". Ichiya opened up a bottle and his parfum swept around everyone, healing their injuries.

"Alright let's go get those bastards' '. Natsu shouted running off only to be stopped by Carla as she pulled on his scarf.

"Just a moment we don't even know where they are and you're just going out on a wild goose chase". She said, flapping her wings.

"Wow she has wings so she is happy". Lucy called out.

"Hey are you copying Happy or something". Natsu asked.

"Shut up". Carla said, hitting him with her tail. "Now we can't rush into attacking, we need a new way to go about this".

"Lady Carla is right the seis power was higher than anticipated, plus titania doesn't look good right now".

Erza was clenching her poisoned arm which was glowing purple; the perfume wasn't helping either.

"No Erza". Natsu called out in worry.

"Oh my god what do we do". Lucy said.

"L…Lucy I apologize". Erza suddenly took the blondes belt and tied it to her arm, Lucy let out a yelp as her skirt dropped Zodie immediately turned around and covered his eyes while the trimens pervertedly starred making her deliver powerful kicks to them.

The red head stabbed her sword into the ground and demanded that someone cut her infected arm off.

"Do it now please".

"Erza don't be crazy". Gray begged.

"Understood titania". Lyon picked up Erza's sword ready to cut it off when Gray suddenly stopped him by blocking the strike with some ice.

"What the hell are you doing, don't you realize what's at stake, is her arm more important than her life"?Lyon asked.

"Of course I do this'll affect her for the rest of her life so jumping the gun isn't an option". Gray said.

"Just as spineless as ever". Lyon said.

"Better than being shady".

Suddenly Zodie came in between them and pushed them apart. "Alright enough it's clear what we have to do now, isn't that right Carla"?

"Correct child, we need Wendy to save her, and the tom cat as well".

"Wait a minute are you saying that she has some kind of healing magic". Eve asked.

"But magic like that is lost and forgotten". Sherry said.

"Does this power have to do with her being called the skymaiden"? Lucy asked.

"Yes, which is why they took her". Zodie said. "She can cure sickness and wounds of all types.

"Wendy happens to be a dragon slayer, the sky dragon slayer". Carla said, surprising everyone.

"No way for real," Natsu said in disbelief.

"We'll feel you in later but for now must save Wendy to heal your friend". Carlas said.

"And since these guys know about her and her powers they need her to heal an ally of theirs but were not sure who". Zodie said.

"Then in that case let's get to work for Wendy Erza and Happy". Natsu yelled.

"Alright first we'll need to break up into teams to cover ground, since they six left us alive. It's a strong belief that they'll be looking for us, so we'll take them by surprise". Hibiki said. "Group one will be Natsu Gray and Wendy, group two will be Lamia scale, boss Ren Eve, you two stay together".

"Wait, what about me"? Zodie asked.

"Zodie you stay behind with me Lucy and Erza, Lucy will probably need some protection".

"Yeah but I-".

"Zodie I know you want to save your friend but it's for the best like you said before the six need her to heal someone so they'll obviously keep her alive, besides with your skills you're needed here more to back these three up". Jura explained.

Zodie clenched his fist in frustration'. "Ok then".

Wendy and Happy find themselves in a hidden location next to the waterfall. Happy is roughed up trying to protect Wendy.

"Ok boss, who's the girl and why is she so important". Racer asked.

"Is she connected to nirvana". Cobra asked.

"Or are we going to make a profit off her". Hoteye asked.

"Dude if you're so obsessed with Money rob a bank or something". Racer said.

"This girl poses lost healing magic and with it we can revive him". Brain explained.

"If you think i'm gonna help you, then forget about it, I won't do it". Wendy protested.

"Oh my dear you don't really have a choice in the matter". Brain said.

"Excuse me Mr. Boss but what about her friend the one who deflected your attack". Hoteye asked.

"Oh not to worry I called in somebody to deal with that runt, this person in particular has a grudge against him". Brain said with a sinister grin.

Lucy watched over Erza's body as she moaned in pain.

"Please hurry you guys'.

"Lucy I know you're worried but doing that isn't going to help you have faith in the others, for now let's keep tabs on the others'.

"By the way Hibiki why'd you stay behind"?

"Wouldn't be a gentleman if I left you ladies alone". He answered.

"Wow, guess you really are a gentleman".

"But Lucy, why'd you stay behind"?

"I need to stay with Erza plus I'm not the best in a fight". She said,

"Really pretty sure I heard that you took down several vulcans single handedly with one fist and stopped an entire dark guild all on your own".

"The first part is a stretch but the second half is true". Lucy then notices Zodie a bit on edge; he's pacing back and forth twirling his dagger around like a mad man before he stops and looks down.

Lucy walks over to check on him.

"Hey".

Zodie turned around quickly with his dagger pointing at the blonde.

"Wow wow I come in peace".

"Oh Lucy sorry I'm just a little on edge".

Lucy placed a hand on his shoulder.

"Hey I know how you feel, I'm worried about Happy but I know we'll get them back were not the number one guild for a reason". She reassured him while winking her eye and smiling.

"I guess you're right".

"By the way if you don't mind me asking when Brain blasted you with that beam of dark magic how come it didn't hurt you"?

"I.. I don't know if I had to guess it has to probably do with my dark magic so maybe I have some sort of immunity to it, which means".

"Which means what"? Lucy asked.

"I may be on his hit list".

With Carla's group they traversed through the lower parts of the woods to look for Wendy Carla offered Natsu a strand of Wendy's hair to help track her making it easiar. Natsu began asking Carla about Carla.

"So because she's a sky dragon she eats and tastes air, does that mean she can see sound or hear color"?

"Yes, no and no". Carla answered.

"But eating air that's basically breathing". Gray chimed in.

"Well whatever the point she was thrilled about this mission because it meant she'd be able to meet you Natsu".

"Me how come"?

"You may have intel on the whereabouts of her dragon, Grandeena the sky dragon, she disappeared seven years ago".

"Sorry to disappoint you but I don't know anything. I'm looking for my own dragon Ig-". Natsu immortality stopped in his tracks looking around.

"Huh what's wrong why'd you stop"? Carla asked.

"We're not alone,'' Gray said.

The trio begin hearing laughter up in the trees as many members from the dark guild naked mummy came leaping down like a bunch of monkeys.

"Wow, hey Gray were dealing with a bunch of monkeys". Gray quirks.

"They're the naked mummy guild, the same losers who Lucy took to school". Gray said.

"Yeah and now it's payback time". One member said. He then spotted Carla. "Oi boss look".

The bulkiest member wearing a mask looked to where he was pointing and was hit with deja vu . He removed his mask to reveal himself as Gato. "It's you, the same mangy cat who was with those brats that took me and my crew out".

"Oh I remember you as well, hard not to forget a brutish monkey with the I Q of a pigeon". Carla roasted.

"OOH burn". Natsu said.

"How dare you, you're gonna pay for that come on boys get em, the seis said they'll pay us heavenly". Gato said. "Lets get em".

The naked Mummy members charged towards the trio but Natsu and Gray stood their ground grinding ready for a battle. Gray emitted cold vapor from his hands while natsu's were on fire.

"Oh want a fight, well you got one, I need to take this pent up frustration on someone after our defeat from earlier". Natsu said.

"Let's send these monkeys back to the zoo".

Back with Hibiki's group Erza was unconscious, still fighting off the poison. Things were quiet for them but at the same time they were bored. Zodie and Hibiki were on guard duty while Lucy caught some z's, the phoenix child used his phoenix eye's to search far and wide to see if the other groups had any luck finding Wendy and Happy but had no luck.

"Where are they? They've got to be close by now but I can't find them anywhere".

"How're you able to see them"? Hibiki asked.

"My magic lets me see far distances within a certain radius. Right now I see the others facing other wizards. I'm assuming they're allied with the seis".

"Huh you deflected dark magic and you can see far away just what is your magic"?

"Well since we have nothing to do Im a-, hold on I got something".

Zodie began seeing something far in the distance moving at great speeds.

"What's wrong, what do you"? Hibiki asked.

"Something is speeding this way".

"Racer"? No i don;t think so this seems different, almost familiar".

Within the blink of an eye the unknown object raced through knocking both Hibiki and Zodie out of the way, the object was a wolf not an ordinary wolf it was glowing as if it were made of magic.

"Wait a minute I've seen this thing before that's tattoo magic and there's only one guy I know who can do that".

"That's right". From behind them stood a familiar figure, he was tall with red sunglasses with a beard. He was shirtless with tattoos all over his body.

"Dafoe". Zodie said.

"Long time no see runt miss me"?

" No, not really".

"Well that's too bad because I've missed you, and I'm gonna enjoy making you eat dirt".

"Zodie, who is this guy"? Lucy asked.

"His name is Dafoe, he uses tattoo magic he materializes the images on his body to life and they fight for him, I dealt with him a while back and he kind of had me on the ropes".

"Oh don't worry Z you're not alone this time let's take this clo-". Lucy was interrupted as Dafoe's tattoo snake shot forward, hitting only for Zodie to protect her with his dagger. The snake then wrapped around Zodie and tossed him all the way over to another part of the forest.

"Zodie no''. Lucy wanted to run after him but Dafoes tattooed wolf placed its sharp claws on Erzas arm.

"Stay out of this sweety or else the red gets it, this is between me and the kid", to ensure you don't interrupt i'll leave my wolf here you try attacking it and poison won't be the first thing that ends her".

Zodie lands on the ground face first but gets up quickly to see Dafoe approaching.

"Besides me, why are you really here"?

"Brain promised me a ward for taking you down, though personally taking you down will be my reward, and this time that wizard saint won't be here to save you this time".

"I don't need saving from you, I can handle you myself".

"We'll see about that wont we".


Back in the secret cave Racer returned carrying a heavy coffin.

"Sorry I'm late, lugging this big thing slowed me down a little". Racer said.

"It's fine Racer".

"Wow is that a coffin"? Happy asked.

"Look, I already told you I'm not helping you with anything". Wendy yelled.

"Well you might change your tune once you see who's inside".

The coffin's lid began glowing with a blinding light. Once it died down a figure was seen lying inside, it was a man who had blue hair and a red tattoo on his right eye. Wendy and Happy eyes went wide as they recognized the man.

"Jellal". They said in unison.


Boom done shocker shocker it's Jellal who didn't see this coming anywho Dafoe is back ready to settle the score with Zodie so till next time. Don't be shy to leave your reviews good or bad i'm open to criticism
