Chapter 26: Cheering Up
It had been a few days. And Fairy Tail had yet to recover. It was very somber in the guildhall. Quite a few members had even take jobs just to get away from the vibe.
Happy had often left the house, but Luna was taking care of Lisanna and neither had left the house.
"All right, so today is going to be the day." Said Lucy talking with the other members.
"Isn't one of the reasons why she won't leave is because of her hair?" asked Cana.
"Yeah, but I can fix that." Sid Lucy.
That was when they heard laugh from the second floor.
"Man what is it with this place? Someone die?" asked a voice.
They turned to see a man with blonde hair wearing headphones and had a distinctive lighting scar on his face.
He was expecting glares and jeers. That was to be expected.
The glares were harsher than usual.
"That's no funny!" yelled Gray.
"That's not something you should be joking about!" yelled Alzack.
"Who is he?" asked Lucy.
"That's Laxus, one of the strongest members of the guild." Whispered Levy.
"Really?" asked Lucy.
"What's you're problem?" asked Laxus.
What he wasn't expecting was that almost everyone in the hall to prepare to use magic on him.
"Calm down!" yelled Makarov, "I haven't told him yet!"
Laxus looked at Makarov.
As they left for a place to talk privately Makarov threw Erza a look that only Mirajane noticed.
"Maybe now's a good time for you go…" said Levy.
"Yeah." Said Lucy.
"Wait Lucy, I'm coming with you." Sid Happy.
"Okay then." Sid Lucy.
On the second floor of the Guild Hall Makarov finished explaining what happened to Natsu.
"Figures Natsu would get captured, he's always weak." said Laxus.
"His injury was caused the enemy attack Lisanna behind her back. Natsu took the hit for her." Said Makarov.
Laxus gritted his teeth.
"It's probably best if you leave soon." Said Erza, "Someone will probably try to attack you it your usual attitude."
"Oh really who can do anything?" asked Laxus.
"Lisanna hasn't left her house in a few days…" said Erza.
Laxus immediately shut up, a pissed of Mirajane was scary… very, very scary even for him…
"Now if you excuse us, there's something with Erza I want to discus." Said Makarov.
They headed to the S Class board to talk about it.
Meanwhile at the Strauss Household, Luna taking a break looking over a magical items catalogue.
That was when there was a knock on the door.
"Who is it?" asked Luna.
"It's Lucy!" said Lucy on the other side of the door.
"And Happy!" called out Happy.
Luna opened the door the let the two in.
Meanwhile Lisanna was looking at a mirror and her hair.
"What am I going to do?" asked Lisanna, "How am I supposed to get this cut and have it be a secret?"
"Well you should have told me sooner." Said Lucy entering the room.
"Oh hey Lucy!" said Lisanna.
"Don't worry, I have a way for you to get your hair cut without your brother and sister finding out." Said Lucy.
"Oh that's right." Said Luna as she entered the room with Happy, "you have a contract with Cancer."
Lucy smiled and took out one of the keys, "Open Gate of the Giant Crab! Cancer!"
"Giant crab!" yelled Happy who began to drool.
"You're going to be sorely mistaken." Sighed Luna.
That was when a tan man with sunglasses, crab legs on his back, and a weird crab shape hairstyle appeared. He was also hold scissors
"Hey there miss Lucy, need a trim? Ebi." Said the man who was cancer.
"What?" asked Happy.
"Told you." Said Luna.
"Actually…" said Lucy, "Lisanna needs a hair cut."
"Princess Serenity I heard you had returned it's good to see you again. Ebi." Said Cancer bowing to Lisanna.
"Please you don't have to." Said Lisanna blushing with a sweat drop.
They explained that in this life Lisanna had her hair short, so Cancer got to work.
"Are you sure you don't want a new hair style?" asked Lucy, "Cancer knows a spell that grows out hair, so you can use that an excuse."
"No it's fine." Said Lisanna.
"It's your choice. Ebi." Said Cancer.
"I don't have all my memories." Said Lisanna, "So how does Cancer know me?"
"Queen Serenity held the contracts for all of the Zodiac spirits during the Silver Millennium." Said Luna.
"It's true." Said Lucy, "In fact I had a deal, where Aquarius that if you were a Celestial Spirit in this life we would dissolve the contract and she would go to you."
"So what happened with that?" asked Lisanna.
Lucy sighed.
(Flashback)
Lucy went to the river in front of her apartment with Artemis.
She took a breath.
She stuck the key into the water.
"Open Gate of the Water Bearer! Aquarius!" called out Lucy.
That was when a blue haired mermaid appeared above the water.
She glared at Lucy.
"This better be good." Muttered the mermaid who was Aquarius, "I'm a vacation with my boyfriend…"
"It's important." Said Lucy, "We found Princess Serenity."
"You did!" said Aquarius, "Where is she?"
"Well the thing is that she's not a Celestial Spirit in this life… She specializes in take over." Explained Lucy.
"What? You're not making it up, are you?" asked Aquarius.
"No it's true Aquarius, she's not making it up." Said Artemis.
Aquarius cursed under her breath although for a brief second she seemed almost relieved.
"By the way…" muttered Aquarius glaring at Lucy, "I'm on vacation with my boyfriend so don't call me for a while…"
"Yes, I won't." said Lucy vigorously nodding.
She disappeared.
"Well that went better than expected." Said Lucy with a sweat drop.
"She didn't try to drown you…" said Artemis, "That's always good."
(End of Flashback)
"Well that's Aquarius." Said Luna.
"Hey Luna have you decided what kind of magi to use yet?" asked Lucy.
"Not yet…" said Luna, "The thought never occurred to me that I'd gain a human form any time soon…"
"Take your time it's a big decision." Said Lucy.
"She's right." Said Lisanna.
"Did you two get into your magic because of your family?" asked Luna.
Both Lucy and Lisanna sweat dropped.
Back at the Guild Hall Makarov was explaining to Erza the job he wanted them to do.
"Break the curse on Galuna Island?" asked Erza.
"Yes…" said Makarov, "You see Galuna island had ties with the moon… Whatever the curse is I believe Lisanna might be the key to breaking it."
"I understand." Said Erza with a smile.
"I object!" yelled Mirajane coming from around the corner.
"You were listening in, weren't you?" sighed Makarov.
"Of course I was and I object to taking Lisanna on a S Class job." Said Mirajane.
"I think it will be good for her." Said Erza.
"No way!" yelled Mirajane, "Not after what happened last time."
Erza glared at Mirajane.
"You don't know what she's capable of, do you?" asked Erza.
"More than you know…" said Mirajane.
Makarov sighed hoping neither would start a fight anytime soon.
Back at the Strauss house Lisanna's hair was done and it was back to normal.
"Thank you so much Cancer." Said Lisanna.
"If you ever want to have a new do tell me .Ebi." said Cancer.
With that Cancer went back to the Celestial Spirit world.
"Wow Celestial Spirits are amazing." Said Lisanna.
"They are" said Lucy that was when she remembered something.
She took out a silver key.
"I haven't gotten the chance to make a contract yet." Said Lucy, "Yo want to see how it's done."
"Sure." Said Lisanna.
Lucy held out the key.
"I am the one who creates paths for Bestial Spirits to cross. You must answer and pass through your gate. Open Gate of Canis Minor! Nikora!" called out Lucy.
That was when the spirit appeared. It resembled well… sort of a snowman with a round head and carrot like nose. He did have little paws on the other hand. He was also constantly shaking.
"Fail…" said Happy.
"Is he okay?" asked Lisanna.
"That' how he's supposed to look." Sighed Lucy.
She then hugged the spirit.
"Aren't you cute!" she said while she hugged him.
"He's okay with that?" asked Lisanna.
"Oh yeah." Said Lucy, "Plus it doesn't take that much magic to bring him and he's really popular as a celestial spirit pet."
"Seriously?" asked Happy.
She took out a note pad and the contract process began.
"Oh all right, are you free Sundays?" asked Lucy.
Nikora shook his head no.
"Mondays?" asked Lucy.
The spirit once again shook his head no.
Both Lisanna and Happy watched with sweat drops.
"It might seem simple." Said Luna, "But these contracts are very important."
"I do get that feeling." Said Lisanna.
"All right all done." Said Lucy.
She began to think.
"All right!" said Lucy, "How do you like the name Plue?"
Nikora seemed to smile, liking the name.
"All right! Plue! Come here Plue!" said Lucy
"Wait I thought his name was Nikora?" asked Happy.
"That's the name of the breed." Explained Lucy.
There was an awkward silence in the room.
"So what do we do now?" asked Happy.
"Well…" sighed Luna.
"What is it?" asked Lisanna.
"I've been so busy I haven't gotten a chance to do some clothes shopping yet…" sighed Luna.
"Sorry… I would have told you go shopping." Said Lisanna.
"It's fine…" said Luna, "I've been making due with the two dresses I own, but their not especially good…"
"Why?" asked Lucy.
"Well the one that was created for me isn't very practical and the other dress I own is a ball grown which is even worse…" sighed Luna.
"Can you just buy human clothes?" asked Happy.
"It hadn't gotten to the point yet where my magic will let me wear buy human clothes." Said Luna.
"What?" asked Happy.
"You see my magic only let's me adjust the size of clothes my size, however if I were to wear normal human clothes they wouldn't shrink with me…" said Luna, "Once my magic gets used to my human form it will allows me to wear normal clothes too…"
"Oh… okay…" said Happy.
"I guess we should go to the toy store." Sid Lisanna.
"Or we can always see if my mom has anything." Said Happy, "I've been wanting to visit her and for a while…"
Lisanna realized Happy really wanted to see his mom after what happened with Natsu.
"I think we can do that." Said Lisanna.
"She doesn't live to too dare away does she?" asked Lucy.
"She doesn't live that far at all." Said Lisanna.
"Yeah and she and Lucky live in the East Forest, it will be fine." Said Happy.
"Lucky? Is that your step father?" asked Lucy.
"I wish…" sighed Happy.
"I see…" said Lucy.
"All right let's go." Said Lisanna.
And so they headed to the East Forest.
Meanwhile back at the Guild Hall Erza and Mirajane continued to glare at teach other, knowing they shouldn't fight at the moment.
Makarov sighed, he knew he had to find a way to calm them down somehow.
But tat was when a crazy idea struck him. It was extremely risky if his theory turned out false.
However the part of him who thought it was a good idea realized it could be used as a morale booster for the guild.
"I have an idea if the two of you would calm down." Said Makarov.
"Fine." Said Mirajane.
"What is it?" asked Erza.
"We'll go to my office so we won't discus where anyone will hears us." Said Makarov
He knew that Laxus was listening in but didn't wasn't to admit it.
In the East Forest.
"Why does your parents live so outside of town?" asked Lucy.
"Lucky prefers it that way." Said Happy.
"I see…" said Lucy.
That was when they came across a small farm… as in both the size of the farm was small as was the house. They came across a white moon cat working the fields. He had a black beard and uni-brow and wore the clothes of a farmer.
That was when he noticed them.
"What the hell are you doing here?" yelled the moon cat.
"I came here for my own reasons!" yelled Happy.
"And what are those?" yelled the other moon cat.
"Like I'm going to tell you!" yelled Happy.
Lucy and Luna looked at each other wondering what was going on.
That was when the door to the house opened and a blue moon cat that looked a lot like happy though it was clearly female and a much older.
"Oh hello Happy." Said the blue moon cat, "Oh and Lisanna is here too."
"Hello Marl, it's good to see you." Said Lisanna.
"Is Natsu here?" asked Marl.
"No…" sighed Lisanna.
"Oh you have some new friend." Said Marl, "Hello I'm Marl, Happy's mother."
"I can see where Happy gets his looks." Said Luna.
Marl laughed.
"My name is Luna." Said Luna.
And I'm Lucy." Said Lucy.
"Would you like some lemonade?" asked Marl, "It's going to take a while until those two stop fighting."
"Sure." Said Lucy.
"Thank you." Said Luna.
They went to the back of the house, which had future for humans.
"So how did you meet?" asked Luna.
"Well you see Happy's egg was taken by a Forest Vulcan years ago." Sighed Marl, "Lucky and I feared the worst."
"But Natsu found it and mistook it for a dragon's egg." Said Lisanna, "We took care of Happy's egg together and even with a little help from Elfman we managed to hatch Happy."
"Thankfully a friend of mine used t be a member of Fairy Tail and she got word about Happy." Said Marl, "I was so happy he was alive. And I was so grateful to both Natsu and Lisanna that they became part of the family…"
Lisanna smiled.
"OH HERE WE GO AGAIN!" they heard happy yell.
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY THAT!" they heard Lucky yell.
"You have the exact same reason why I'm a disappointment every single time!" they heard Happy yell.
"Well you are!" they heard Lucky yell.
"For better or for worse…" said Marl.
"Yeah." Sighed Lisanna as Luna and Lucy both sweat dropped.
"Lisanna." Said Marl.
Yeah." Said Lisanna.
"Did something happen to Natsu?" asked Marl.
Lisanna sighed when she said that.
"What happened?" asked Marl.
Lisanna told her about the Dark Kingdom and how Natsu was kidnapped (leaving a few details out of course).
"I take it you finally realized your feelings." said Marl.
"What?" asked Lisanna blushing.
"It was obvious." Said Marl, "I mean you two always seemed very close…"
Lisanna nodded.
"Natsu's strong, I don't think that wound would be able to take him out." Said Marl, "Knowing him he'll bounce right from this and soon all of this will be all but a distant memory… "
Lisanna smiled at the older moon cat.
"Thank you." Said Lisanna.
"Don't worry I won't tell Lucky, knowing him it will just cause him and Happy to fight more than before." Said Marl.
"They don't seem to get along do they?" asked Lucy.
"Lucky's just worried about Happy, neither one of us can trace our ancestry to any mages so he's doubtful Happy will be able to obtain a human form, it is difficult, I know of only two that did so… and one of them doesn't even have the magic to do so any more." Said Marl, "Moon Cats are weak if they don't obtain one and doing so is nearly impossible…"
"It is…" said Luna, "I only got lucky…"
Marl looked at Luna.
"You mean…" said Marl.
Luna stood up and turned into her human form.
"I only obtained it just the other day." Said Luna, "Happy suggested I talk to you and see if you have any old clothes that might fit me…"
"You were a nudist… weren't you." Said Marl with a laugh.
"Yeah." Sighed Luna.
"Let's go see." Said Marl.
"Alright." Said Luna turning back to her cat form.
They both went into the house.
"Happy's mom sure is nice." Said Lucy.
"She is." Said Lisanna.
(Flashback)
A young Natsu, Lisanna and Happy were looking at a map.
"It should be around here." Said Natsu.
"There's a house." Said Lisanna noticing the small house.
They headed towards the house.
"Humans!" yelled a voice.
They all jumped when Lucky tried to attack them with a hoe.
"Stop!" yelled Happy.
Lucky stopped when he saw Happy.
"Wait…" said Lucky.
He began to cry.
"Is he?" asked Lucky.
"I found his egg in the woods and raised him." Said Natsu.
"Marl! Come out here quick!" called out Lucky.
"What is it?" asked Marl stepping outside.
Happy noticed Marl, he knew right away who she was.
"Mommy!" he called out.
He flew to hug her.
Marl realized what just happened."
"My son!" she cried out.
The two hugged.
"He alive!" cried Lucky.
The two adult moon cats.
"Thank you so much." Said Marl.
"How did you know that were missing our child?" asked Lucky.
"Oh, we're members of Fairy Tail." Said Natsu.
"And a former member named Shagotte told the master that your egg was stolen." Said Lisanna.
"Shagotte told you?" asked Lucky.
"I'll have to thank her." Said Marl she looked at the two, "Would you two like lunch."
"Sure of course." Said Natsu causing Lisanna to laugh.
As they ate lunch.
"So you named him Happy." Said Marl.
"Sorry about that, we didn't you were alive at the time." Said Natsu.
"It's all right." Said Marl, "I like it… it goes with Lucky's name."
"No it doesn't." muttered Lucky.
Happy was barely eating. He just looked sad.
"Happy." Said Marl.
"Yes?" asked Happy.
"If you want you can join Fairy Tail." Said Marl.
"What really?" asked Happy becoming… well Happy.
"What are you out of your mind?" asked Lucky.
"So you want to tear him away from his friends?" asked Marl.
Lucky became quiet.
"When you put it that way." Muttered Lucky.
"All right!" cheered Happy.
"Take it easy, because I doubt you'll ever be able to obtain a human form." Muttered Lucky.
(End of Flashback)
"Since then Marl's always been sort of an Aunt to me and Natsu." Said Lisanna.
"That's sweet." Said Lucy, "Since you've known them for that long, I guess you didn't freak out when Luna first started talking."
"Not at all in fact he was trying to keep quiet so I wouldn't freak out." Laughed Lisanna.
"I did freak out the first time Artemis started talking." laughed Lucy.
"Everyone was more freaked out by the fact Happy hatched from an egg that when he was learning to talk it wasn't that weird." Said Lisanna.
Lucy laughed.
She looked at Lisanna "She's a much a better mood than earlier." She thought with a smile.
Back at the Guild Hall.
"What you can be serious!" said Erza, "It sounds dangerous."
"I'm sure one of you will be able to solve." Said Makarov, "I will choose who goes… and of course Elfman is one of them…"
"It sounds fine to me." Said Mirajane.
"But Master…" said Erza.
"As I said earlier it will be fine." Said Makarov.
"But turning it into that?" asked Erza.
"It's a morale booster!" said a voice.
They turned to see Laxus in the room.
"Seriously! You were listening in?" asked Makarov.
"Please like you were tying to hide it." Said Laxus.
"I went to talk about in here so that you wouldn't over hear!" yelled Makarov.
"What you want in too?" asked Mirajane.
"Please it seems pathetic… but I know where gramps in coming from." Said Laxus.
"Wow looks like the news about Natsu is even effecting you." Said Mirajane, "Never expected that…"
"Hey, I just know where gramps is coming from… it didn't effect me at all." Muttered Laxus=.
"Sure it didn't Laxus." Said Mirajane teasing him.
Laxus glared at her.
"I will announce to the Guild once everyone in the Golden Team is here." Said Makarov.
"But remember make it even." Said Mirajane.
"I know, I know…" sighed Makarov.
"This still sounds like a really bad idea." Sighed Erza.
Back at the farm, Luna came out o the house then turned to her human form, she was now wearing a yellow sundress.
"How does this look?" asked Luna.
""It looks good one you." Said Lisanna.
"And you won't trip." Said Lucy.
"There weren't many dresses that could fit her." Said Marl, "But you want to I can make you a few more outfits."
"Oh you don't have to." Said Luna.
"I insist, as long you watch over Lisanna." Said Marl, "You are her partner right…"
"How did you…" said Luna.
"I heard Lisanna gained a moon partner a while back so I figured you were the one." Laughed Marl.
"Oh right…" said Luna with a sweat drop.
"COME BACK HERE WHEN I'M TALKING TO YOU!" they heard Lucky yell.
Happy arrived at the deck.
"I need a break from the yelling." Said Happy.
That was when he noticed Luna.
"Oh wow Luna! Lookin' good!" cheered Happy.
Lucky also got the deck.
"I wasn't done." Said Lucky.
That was when he noticed Luna's human form.
"You brought over another friend behind my back?" asked Lucky.
"Not at all." Said Luna turning back into a moon cat.
"She only recently obtained human form and Happy suggested she take some of my old clothes." Said Marl.
Lucky nodded…
"See she's also older than you… who knows how much older." Said Lucky, "And she looks much more skilled than you…"
"Will you shut up about that!" yelled Happy.
He sighed.
"Maybe we should get back to town." Said Lucy.
"Yeah." Said Luna.
Lisanna and Happy knew that the two could only take so much family drama for one day…
"Luna…" said Marl, "Come back any time."
"I will" said Luna.
"You should bring Artemis." Said Lucy.
Luna nodded, after all there weren't that many moon cats around and they should really stick together in some way.
The four of them headed back into town.
The tow older moon cats watched them leave.
"Something happened to Natsu." Said Lucky, "Didn't it?"
"You could tell?" asked Marl.
"He was acting like he usually did in our spats." Said Lucky.
Marl laughed a little but then turned serious.
"I promised Lisanna I would tell you." Said Marl.
"That bad." Said Lucky.
Marl nodded.
"Whatever it is, he'll be fine." Said Lucky.
Marl smiled.
"Besides, that Luna girl had a human form…" said Lucky, "I have some new material…"
Marl laughed.
Sometime later they got into town.
"Hey!" called out Artemis who was flying, "I was looking all over for you."
"What happened?" asked Lucy.
"Makarov wants to make an announcement," said Artemis, "He wants all of us to be there."
That was when he noticed Luna in her dress.
"Nice dress…" said Artemis blushing a little.
"Thanks." Said Luna.
"It used to my mom's." said Happy.
Artemis sweat dropped.
"I wonder what he's going to announce." Said Lisanna.
"I don't know." Said Lucy.
Once they arrived.
"Okay! You're all here!" said Makarov.
He jumped up to the second floor.
"All right!" called out Makarov, "I am here to announce the first ever S Class Competition."
Everyone in the guild was surprised.
Mirajane and Erza stood on the sides of Makarov.
"Two 5 person plus one moon cat teams will go to Galuna to break the curse, the first time to do wins." Said Makarov.
Everyone the guild was shocked by this… especially treating an S Class Job like that.
"All right, so first off is Team Erza which is obviously the Golden Team, which of course Lisanna Strauss, Levy McGarden, Cana Alberona and Lucy, you can choose either Luna or Artemis to go with you, but they can't turn human turning the job."
"I think Artemis should go." Said Lucy.
"Luna could use a break." Said Cana.
"Fine…" sighed Artemis.
"Now for Team Mirajane, it's obviously Elfman Strauss, the other three members will be Loke."
"What?" asked Loke surprised.
"Gray Fullbuster." Said Makarov.
Gray smirked, surprised he would get a chance like this.
"Maxfield Stanton… who I will make a special exception for this one time."
A good chunk the guild glared at Maxfield in a mixture of hatred and jealously.
"And of course Happy since he's the Guild's only other moon cat." Said Makarov.
"What!" yelled Happy.
"Whoever finishes the job first will receive the Reward money." Said Makarov, "Although we have decided that Lucy will receive the non-monetary reward since it's one of the Zodiac Gate Keys and she's the only Celestial Mage participating."
"All right!" cheered Lucy.
"Really?" asked Lisanna who seemed upset about it.
"Cheer for whichever team you like and wish all of them luck." Said Makarov.
Many members of the guild cheered.
Of course the Golden Team plus Maxfield and Happy had to speak to Makarov about this.
"Seriously! This is a really bad idea!" said Lisanna.
After all her last S Class Job didn't go that well.
"It was one of few options I had." Sighed Makarov.
"What's that supposed to mean?" asked Lisanna.
Makarov explained his theory about the curse.
"Oh…" said Lisanna.
"Mirajane over heard it." Sighed Erza.
"I see." Said Lisanna.
"Besides it's a good morale booster." Said Makarov.
"Something to get their minds off Natsu." Said Makarov, "In fact that's why I chose Gray for the job."
"That does explain Gray and Maxfield." Said Cana.
"But what about Loke." Said Levy.
"I just felt he deserved this one chance." Lied Makarov.
Loke was outside the door listening in and sweat dropped.
"But I'm sure that Lisanna is the key to solving the curse on the island." Said Makarov.
"Don't worry I'll do it." Sid Lisanna.
And so they went on the Job… however that is another for another time…
Why?
Well the Dark Kingdom didn't attack once during the job surprisingly.
And so…
A Few Days Later…
As they headed back to the guild they were talking about how the Competition went…
It didn't go the way it went at all.
Turns out Lisanna wasn't the key… she wasn't even close to solving it. Turns out everything had more to with Gray… the one Makarov stuck on the team because he was depressed about Natsu.
And thankfully no one got too hurt, although Gray now sported a scary on his forehead.
"Why didn't we get the money again?" asked Maxfield after all the competition was special exception… he didn't know how much longer he could live off tips
"Because there wasn't a curse." Said Erza.
"You can always steal the other reward and sell it." Said Mirajane.
"No way!" yelled Lucy, "Do you know how rare this key is there's only 12 of these gate keys."
"So which one did you get?" asked Artemis trying to defuse the situation.
"Oh Sagittarius , he's a centaur." Said Lucy, "You know half man half horse
"You mean like this?" asked Gray imagining a picture of a anthropomorphic horse.
"No more like this." Said Lucy using her own imagine a true centaur to shoot his down.
"No I'm sure it's more like this." Said Loke imagining a guy in a goofy looking horse costume.
"That's just ridiculous." Said Lucy with a sweat drop.
Artemis had to bite his tongue, after all Artemis knew what the Spirit looks like.
They noticed everyone whispering.
"It looks like they just got into town." They heard someone say.
"They don't know what happened. " they heard another one say.
"I wonder what's going on?" asked Levy.
"I'm sure it's fine." Sid Cana.
As they got loser to the Guild Hall they all froze.
They stared at the hall, all of the building was impaled in multiple places with metal clubs.
"No way!" yelled Gray.
"Who could have done that?" asked Elfman.
However Lisanna, Levy, Erza, Cana and Maxfield all recognized the clubs.
"I can't believe he did." Muttered Levy.
"I thought were getting along." Said Lisanna.
"He's still a member of Phantom Lord." Said Cana.
"She's right, even if we did help him and had a job with him, something like this was bound to happen." Said Erza.
"Wait you know who did this." Said Loke.
"A member of Phantom Lord?" asked Mirajane.
"The person who did this was Black Steel Gajeel." Said Erza.
Indeed while they were away Gajeel attacked the guild. But why they didn't know… but one thing was known, the worst had yet to come.
Next Time: Gajeel shows up to cause trouble... or has he? Has the Dark Kingdom done something to his Guild Master? Find out next time!
