My name is Askadellia. I'm part of the Fairy Tail Mage Guild. One day Natsu, a fellow Guild member, found out that one of our colleagues had not returned home from his job, he he headed out to the snowstorm mountain, Hakobe, in a rescue mission. A girl named Lucy and I tagged along to help if needed but...
"How did it become like this!?" Lucy said inside of the clock, Horologium, as the Monkey who'd captured us did some weird dance. "And that Monkey is hyper for some reason! I wonder if this is where that monkey lives. Besides, what happened to Natsu...?" Horologium said for Lucy.
"Woman.?" the monkey said getting closer to her. I back up behind the clock. Suddenly Horologium disappeared.
"W-Wait! Holorogium! Don't disappear!" Lucy called out to him.
"Time's up. Farewell." were his last words.
"extension! I need extension! Please!" she begged him. I rolled my eyes and grabbed the blanket pulling her behind me.
"Wuoooooh! I finally caught up with you!" we all turned to see Natsu running in through a break in the wall. "Where is Macau!?" he asked before slipping and slamming into the opposite wall.
"Can't he appear in a normal manner?" Lucy asked.
"Nope." I told her, thinking of all the entrances he'd made over the years.
"Hey! Monkey! Where is Macau!?" Natsu asked him. The Monkey looked from us to Natsu. "You understand what I'm saying, right? I'm talking about Macau! A human man."
"A man?" the Monkey asked.
"That's right!" Natsu said. "Where did you hide him!?"
"He claimed that the Monkey "hid" him!" Lucy said wrapping the blanket around her even more. I created a ball of fire and held it out to her to keep her warm. The Monkey grinned and motioned Natsu to him.
"Ooh! He understood me!" Natsu said going to him. The Monkey pointed behind him and Natsu looked. "Where!?" the Monkey pushed Natsu out through the wall and I stared in shock.
"Natsu!" Lucy called out. We both ran to the hole and watched as Natsu fell.
"Me no likes man. Me likes woman." the monkey called down to him. I felt my anger grow, which was never a good thing with a Mage. My grip on the rock and snow and felt my powers merge with the two elements.
"No! He... He's not dead is he?!" Lucy asked me.
"I'm sure he's fine." I said calmly. I felt the snow beneath my hands melt and the rocks chipped under the heat I was emitting as the Monkey danced around saying women.
"Woman! Woman! You perverted Monkey. What are you gonna do if Natsu got hurt!?" Lucy yelled at him.
"Summon!" I said and a circle was created under my feet. "Flame Pheonix!" A giant gird made of fire came up from the circle and rested on my shoulder.
"Open... a door to the Golden Bull Palace... Taurus!" Lucy said and a giant bull with an ax on his back.
"A bird!? A bull!?" the Monkey asked.
"Taurus, the most powerful stellar spirit in my contract, will be you opponent! You perverted Monkey!" Lucy yelled at him.
"Lucy-san! You have nice boobs as always. Moo-re amazing than ever." Taurus said to her.
"Oh yeah... He's a pervert as well..." Lucy said smacking her head with her hand.
"A pervert fighting a pervert? That's a first for me." I told her.
"Who is this?" Taurus asked but I didn't answer.
"Uho! Don't take my women!" the monkey shouted at him.
"My women?" Taurus asked the Monkey.
"That's a moo-st unforgivable remark. Taurus told him.
"That's right, Taurus! Get him!" Lucy cheered him on.
"You should say "my boobs" instead of "my women"." Taurus said.
"That's not right!" Lucy said. I looked at her and saw her sweating slightly. She used Holorogium until his time limit earlier and I didn't know how long she could keep Taurus out.
"Pheonix!" I said and the bird took flight in preparation for an attack.
"Taurus!" Lucy shouted and Taurus took his battle ax off his back.
"I'm moo-re than ready!" Taurus told her.
"Hooow daaare yooou push me off the cliff?" Everything seemed to freeze as we all looked back to the hole to see a shadow. "Iiit waaas clooose..."
"Natsu!" I said happily.
"You're safe!" Lucy added. Natsu looked up at us before growing angry and attacking.
"What!? There are more monsters now!" He kicked Taurus away from the Monkey and Lucy screamed.
"I can't... take it no moo-re..." Taurus said.
"You weak!" Lucy yelled at Taurus. "I was worrying about you so much and then you come and do this to me!? Besides, how did you survive!?" Natsu turned to us and smirked.
"All thanks to Happy. Right?" we looked up and saw Happy flying above us.
"You're welcome." the cat said.
"Oh yeah... I forgot that Happy had wings." Lucy said.
"Aye. It's one of the ability type magic: Wings." Happy told her.
"You can't deal with transportation, but you're okay with Happy?" Lucy asked Natsu as he took some flames from my Phoenix.
"What are you talking about?" Natsu asked her. "Happy isn't for transportation. He's a Nakama. You're weird." he told her.
"R-right. I'm sorry." Lucy said.
"Listen, all of Fairy Tail's Members are Nakama." he told her. "From the Geezer, Mira,"
"He's coming!" Lucy yelled as we saw the Monkey attack.
"Then the annoying Gray and Elfman,"
"I got it! I understand! Natsu, watch your back!" Lucy told him.
"To Az, Happy and Lucy. We are all Nakama." He told her. "That's why..." Natsu turned to the Monkey who was jumping at him. "I'm taking Macau home!" Natsu kicked the Monkey with his foot covered in fire. The Monkey close to Lucy and I. "Tell me where Macau is, or I'll burn you black like charcoal." The monkey stood up and turned to Natsu before grabbing ice off the top of the cave and throw them at him. "That won't work on fire!" Natsu said as he melted the ice. The Monkey then picked up the ax and Natsu paled. "That looks painful."
"Taurus' Ax!" Lucy said. The Monkey started swinging the ax at Natsu.
"Phoenix!" the Phoenix returned to my hand and turned into a flaming sword. I quickly jumped between the two and stopped the Monkey from hurting Natsu. The Monkey kept swinging and we kept dodging him. Suddenly Natsu slipped on some snow and pulled me down with him. The burning sword was knocked out of my hand and slide to another part of the cave. I watched as the Monkey raised the ax over his head and lowered it on both me and Natsu. I closed my eyes and waited for the pain but I didn't feel anything. I opened my eyes to see Natsu had caught the blade between his hands and was holding it back.
"Go Az!" he told me and I quickly got out of the way.
"Taurus!" I turned to see Lucy slapping the bull. "Wake up and go back! That way the Ax will disappear, too!" I looked back to Natsu to see him burning the blade of the ax. The blade started melting and Natsu started eating the melted drops. "Did he just melt the blade with his body hear!? Hes eating it, too!" Lucy said, grossed out. Natsu then spit something at the monkey and it his forehead.
"Here I come... Iron Fist of Salamander!" Natsu punched the monkey with his right fist and we cheered for him.
"He's stuck!" Happy said happily.
"Weren't you supposed to ask this Monkey where Macau is?" I asked him.
"Ack! I forgot." Natsu said.
"He passed out completely." Lucy said. Suddenly something weird was happening to the Monkey.
"What's going on!?" Natsu asked. Wind blew all around us and when it stopped... "The monkey became Macau!"
"Oh, so he was taken over by Balkan!" Happy said and everything fit together.
"Taken over!?" Lucy asked.
"It's a magic to take over the body." I told her. Suddenly, Macau started falling through the hole the Monkey had created with Natsu knocked him out. "MACAU!" Natsu and Happy dived after him and I went to the hole to try and help but they were beyond my reach.
"I can't keep holding the two of you! My wings are about to disappear, too!" Happy said.
"Shiiit!" Natsu yelled out. I leaned over and grabbed a hold of Happy's body. "Az!" Natsu said happily.
"Don't get to happy just yet..." I told him as I felt myself falling slightly. I felt someone's arms around my waist and knew Lucy was doing her best to help us out.
"Lucy!" I called out.
"Heavy..." she said.
"No moo-re worry." I heard Taurus say behind us.
"Taurus!" Lucy said.
"Bull!" Natsu joined in. We were all pulled back up to the cave and we gently laid Macau down before treating the wounds on him. Taurus had disappeared shortly after we were all saved.
"It seems he fought severely before he was taken over." Happy said.
"The wound is serious." Lucy said.
"Macau! Hold on tight!" Natsu told him.
"So apparantly Balkans are monsters who survive by taking over human bodies." I said.
"The wound on his side is too deep... We can't do anything with only the first aid kit that we have." Lucy told him.
"Natsu..." I said and he nodded to me before lighting his hand on fire. "Lucy, help me hold him down."
"Wai..." Natsu put his hand on the wound and Macau screamed. "What are you doing!?"
"Don't die! Romeo's waiting for you!" Natsu told Macau.
"Shit..." Macau said and I smiled. "What a shame. I got 19 of them..."
"Eh?" Lucy asked.
"I was... taken over... by the 20th one..." he told us.
"We understand, so don't speak any more or your wound will open!" I told him.
"I'm angry at myself... Damn it... How can I... face Romeo...?" he asked.
"Az said shut up!" Natsu yelled at him. "Want me to punch you!?"
The four of us walked back into town. Natsu was supporting Macau as Lucy and I walked beside them. We saw Romeo on our way to the Guild Hall who looked up at us and smiled happily. He suddenly looked down and started crying.
"Daddy, I'm sorry... I..." Macau let go of Natsu and walked to his son and hugged him.
"I made you worry. Sorry." Macau said.
"It's okay... I'm the son of a Mage." Romeo said.
"When those brats tease you next time, ask them if their old man can defeat 19 monsters by himself! Okay?" Macau said to him. Natsu, Lucy, Happy and I continued walking to the Guild Hall when Romeo called to us.
"Natsu bro! Happy! Az sis! Thaaaanks!" Natsu and I waved to him. "And thanks to you to, Lucy sis!" she turned and waved to the small boy.

Fairy Tail is a reckless and outrageous Guild, but it's also fun, heartwarming and kind. I've enjoyed being part of the Guild for many years now.
