Chapter 3: Duke Everlue

-Magnolia-

"Are you sure this is a good idea?" Pyrus asked Natsu as he and Rayna along with Tommy and Alice followed him down the streets of Magnolia.

"Of course it is, why wouldn't Lucy want us to drop by? Besides, we need her for this job we're going to go on," Natsu said with a smile.

"Aye, Lucy is very necessary in order for us to pull of this job," Happy said, walking along side Natsu.

"You haven't even told us what kind of job this is yet, mind telling me before we get there?" Pyrus requested of Natsu and Rayna nodded.

"Nah, we'll just tell you guys and Lucy at the same time, that's a lot easier than telling it twice," Natsu explained. Soon after they arrived to Lucy's place of residence, entering without even knocking on her door. Lucy then soon entered her room from her bathroom after taking a bath, only having a towel wrapped around herself.

"WHAAAAAAAA!" Lucy screaming and She then kicked Natsu, Happy, Tommy, and Pyrus into a wall with one move. Rayna and Alice while only one who didn't and they can only speechless seeing this.

"Why are you here?!" Lucy shouted as she did that.
"Cause Mira told me that you got a new place…" Natsu said as he was rubbing his cheek.

"Natsu dragged me here…" Pyrus answered while holding his head, trying to get over the small headache he was now experiencing.

"Sorry for entering your house without permission, Lucy" Rayna apologize at her.

Natsu and Lucy continued to argue for a bit, with Lucy yelling and lecturing Natsu while all he did was respond calmly.

While he inside the House, Rayna see a a draft of paper and decided to read it. "Hey.. Cool, a Novel.. " She said but then Lucy Snatch that from her. After Lucy refused to show them a draft of a book she's writing, and allowing her to get dressed, Lucy then explained to them how her gates keys worked, saying she had to make a contract with a spirit.

"Open gate of the Canis Minor, Nikola"
She then showed them how it went by summoning Nikola of the Canis Minor. But what she ended up summoning was a small dog like creature that had what looked like a carrot for a nose.

"Uhhh... I think you failed Lucy" Natsu said while confused seeing this dog like creature.

"No Natsu... This is what Nikola the Canis Minor look like" Pyrus answer him.

"It's so cute!.. " Rayna said seeing the Spirit and proceed to hug it.

and after making a contract, which only consisted of Lucy asking which days she can summon him, she named him Plue. After Natsu somehow talked with Plue he said that he's come to a decision.

"Let's make a team, the four of us," Natsu said with a smile.

"Team?" Lucy asked.

"Hey.. You don't counts us cats too!" Tommy snapped him

"Okay.. the seven of us" Natsu correcting himself

"What are you saying, Natsu?" Rayna asked.

"Aye! All the members of the guild are comrades, but we make teams with whoever we get along with. If you're in a team, difficult requests will be easier," Happy explained.

"That's a good idea! It sounds fun!" Lucy exclaimed with a smile.

Pyrus smirked at Natsu's suggestion, "That is a great idea Natsu, so mind telling me what this job you picked out is now?" He asked the fire dragon slayer.

"Sure, it's right here," Natsu said as he took out a piece of paper and put it out onto the table.

Lucy picked up the paper and started to read through it, "Whoa! All we have to do is get a book from the mansion of someone called the Duke of Everlue… and get 200,000 Jewels?!" Lucy read, surprised at how easy this job was going to be.

"Right? Isn't it an easy job?" Natsu asked, knowing how easy it was going to be.

"Okay...We gonna split the rewards as 70:10:10:10" Lucy said while smiling.

"Sure.. But what are we gonna to do about the other 199,900 jewels?" Natsu asked her.

"She mean in percent, Natsu" Rayna answer him.

"Oh I see... Still, I wonder what you gonna do with only 10%?" He asked her again.

"I'm getting the 70%" She yelled at him.

"Way to start us off with something simple Natsu, no better way to start a mission. Although I would have chosen something with a bit more action on it, but I guess this will do," Pyrus said. Lucy then read through the rest of the mission, only to find out that Natsu had tricked her. A detail of the mission was that Everlue was currently looking to hire a blonde maid and that he was a notorious pervert. But since Lucy was a Celestial Spirit mage, she felt obligated to go with them.

"Now, let's practice by calling Happy a Master" Natsu tell her. "I don't want it if that cat!" Lucy cried.

-Fairy Tail Guild-

Three mages were standing in front of the mission board, which is just a regular bulletin board with job requests posted onto it. And they were looking for a specific mission too.

"The job at Everlue mansion for 200,000 Jewels…did someone take it?" asked one of the mages in the group.

Mirajane looked over to the group and answered, "Yes, Natsu said he was going to take Pyrus, Rayna and Lucy with him."

The mage at the mission board sighed as she then said, "I was thinking about doing that mission too…"

"Levi, maybe it's for best that you didn't go," Makarov said from the place where he was sitting on the bar counter, gaining the attention of the mages at the board. "That job… has become a little troublesome…" Mirajane asked of the job was canceled, but Makarov said that it wasn't, saying that, "the reward is raised to 2 million Jewels…or so I was told." This caused many of the guild members to go into a small uproar, trying to think up reasons why a simple book retrieval mission would have that big of a reward, a reward usually given out for slaying a monster.

-Dirt Road on the way to Shirotsume Town-

The newly formed team of Natsu, Happy, Lucy, Pyrus, Rayna, Alice, and Tommy were now riding in a carriage and were on their way to the job location. But some people were doing a lot better than others.
While Pyrus and Rayna who look okay on carriage, except for Natsu who wants to throw up. Pyrus was reading a book to past the time while traveling, until Lucy decided to talk to them.

"Hey Pyrus, can ask you something" Lucy asked him with her seeing Natsu and he nod . "How come you and Rayna didn't get sick like last time?" She continued.

"That's because we take the healing potion that erased our motion sickness for few hours" he replied. Flipping the book page without looking at her.

"Huh?.. But why you didn't give Natsu too?" Happy asked while munching a fish.

"That's because The potion only works at someone who 17 years or younger" Tommy answered his questions.

"Yeah.. We tried it on our friend once, but it only make him poisoned." Alice added.

"I see, then how about the magic you've been using?" Lucy asked, for the sake of this mission, Lucy tried to gather information about their magic.

"Well, Our dragon told us that Dragon Slayers have very destructive power, we can eat our respective elements like Natsu when he eat Bora's fire magic. We also resistance against those elements, have sharp hearing, foresight, smelling, and other things that still a mystery" Pyrus explained

"I meaning to ask, how is the dragon who take care of you looks like?" Lucy asked him again.

"Hmm... You mean my dragon parents?" he said.
"Wait, Parents?... You have more than one dragon raised you!?". Lucy asked in surprise

"Yep... my father Lidorias the Wind Dragon and my mother Luna the Celestial Dragon" He answered while close his book.

"Celestial Dragon?... You have that type of magic?. Does this mean... you can eat Celestial Spirit!?" Lucy asked in horror while thinking her Celestial Spirit friends.

"No. It means I can eat both light and darkness. It let me combine them to make a what Luna called it 'Stardust Energy'..." Pyrus answered as he shows her a dark blue energy surrounding by glittering lights on his hand, which looked like a fire but didn't cause to much heat.

"Wow.. It so pretty " she amazed by that. "Aye" Happy agreed with her. "..and for what Lidorias's looks like is... He's a blue dragon, with yellow scale on his stomach. He have three golden horn and have feather like wings" Pyrus said tried to remember it. "And Luna is a very majestic white dragon" he said simply.

"They are the one who raised me until I was seven. Lidorias taught me how to fight and teach me how to survive" He said. "He train me to master the dragon slayer magic and even teach me other magic too. While Luna teach me how to control my magical powers and academic. She teach me her magic as well. " Pyrus said with a smile.

"Lidorias is very hard on me. He make me train and push me beyond my limit. He always punish me when I can't do what he say. When I was four, He even make me to survive alone in the wild full of monsters and predators for a half years and then fights against him" Pyrus explained. Causing Lucy to sweatdrop thinking how a father told his son to fight against monsters and dragon.

"But... He do it for my sake. It because he wants me to get strong and able to protect myself from danger, and Luna love me even though I make a mistake on her teaching. She always read a story about dragon and legends to me before I go to sleep." He said with a smile. "The only thing I received from them is a Sword and this Gem" Pyrus showed the gem that he turned it into a necklace.

"So?.. Do you still looking for them?" Lucy asked.

"No.. I have someone important to find before looking for them" He said looking at the window.

"Who's that?" Lucy asked.

"My younger sister" Pyrus says without looking at Lucy.

"Huh?" Lucy and Happy shocked than looked at Rayna. But decided to not ask any further.

"And what about your dragon, Rayna?" Lucy asked her.

"Oh... Well, my dad Soleil is the one taught me dragon slayer magic. He raised me when I was about 2 years old. He teach me how to read and write. The training he give me is pretty hard even he told me to fight against him too" Rayna explain. Lucy sweat drop again thinking how crazy their parents told them to fight a dragon.

"And your magic is... " Lucy asked in again tried to get much information about them as many as she could.

"My magic are fusion from Light and Heat" Rayna showed her hand, first there's small light from it, but then some heat focused on the light then it transform in a energy that looked like a miniature of the sun "I can transform my myself into solar ray, making me able to pass through the suns rays or any light such from lamps or even fire, but I can't do it at the night or dark places. I use it to move swiftly, dodging efficiently, or surprise attacks, I can only use it for few seconds thought before it need to recharge for a second"

"Ooo that's very interesting... " Lucy said in awe.

"Can you guys keep your voice down?... It makes me headache" Natsu said while he looked like gonna throw up.

"Oh?...I'm sorry Master. Did you not enjoy the ride? " Lucy said mockingly .

"Hey!.. I'm the one who should be called Master!" Happy yells.

"There's no way I call you that!" Lucy shouted at him.

*Later*

-Shirotsume Town-

"I don't wanna ride transportation again" Natsu mumbled. Right now, the group was walking in the street right after they left the train. "You always said that" Happy said to him. "Next time, can you give me the potion too, Rayna?" Natsu turned looking at her.

"Um well... If you don't mind to get poisoned... Then Okay!" Rayna said with a innocent smile on her face. "Never mind" Natsu change his mind about the potion.

"I'm hungry, let's get something to eat" Natsu informed the group. "Now you mentioned, I feel hungry too!" Pyrus realized, holding his stomach that let out small growl.

"Why don't you eat your own flame and wind?" Lucy asked him.

"You're not polite, are you able to eat Plue or the Cow man?" Natsu asked her. "Of course not!" Lucy exclaimed. "That's is same for us" Natsu and Pyrus said in unison.

"So you guys cannot eat your own flames and wind, huh?" Lucy said "it's very weird"

"Dragon Slayer can only restore their magical power by eating their respective elements, also they can only eat their elements that not produced by them" Rayna explained, " so, that will not fill our hunger"

"Besides, can you get full while only eating wind?" Pyrus asked Lucy. "Okay, you're right " Lucy admitted as she laughed awkwardly.

They continue to walk until Natsu find a restaurant "Hey guys!.. Let's eat over there" Natsu pointed the restaurant happily.

"You guys go ahead... I have something to do" Lucy walked away. "Rayna, could you help me for a sec?"

"Huh..what for?" Rayna confused, begin to follow her along with Alice.

"What's up with them?." Natsu wondering. "Isn't more fun if we eat together"
"Aye.. " Happy agree. "Hey, do you really serious about the maid job?" Tommy asked curiously.

"Nope, why?" Natsu confused, while Pyrus face palm. "Forget it.." Tommy and Pyrus said in unison.

-Later-

The four of them ordered a lot of food, Natsu and Pyrus is eating large meat while Happy and Tommy is eating fish and sushi.

"Save the greasy food for Lucy" Natsu said, while munching his food.

"I bet she will like them" Happy agree.

"She's look to skinny" Pyrus said.

"But her 'thing' are too big" Tommy added.

"Who said that I like them?" Lucy's voice from behind them. "Oh.. Lu... cy?" Natsu confused seeing Lucy wearing a maid outfit, Pyrus see her doing some cute poses while Rayna and Alice is behind her.

"So...How do I look? Do I look pretty" Lucy asked still with the poses. This shocking Natsu, Happy, and Tommy. While their mouth gaped. "Are you done eating, Master?" Lucy asked cutely still with the pose.

"What should we do?... Even though we are joking, but she really do it!?" Happy asked whispering.

"She take the joke seriously, what should we tell her" Tommy asked whispering back.

"Maybe we should tell her now that we are only joking" Natsu tell them, whispering.

"Agree... Then we get out of here" Pyrus nodded whispering.

"I can hear you guys, you know! " Lucy angrily, hold her grudge to not beat them to a pulp. "We are Sorry!.. " the guys apologize.

"Sigh... Here I thought you would wearing that too, Rayna" Pyrus said disappointed, looking at her. "HUH?!... Why do I have to wearing it!?" Rayna shyly said covered her chest blushing madly.

-Client's Mansion-

After getting something to eat, the seven soon arrived to the client's place of residence. After arriving and knocking on the front door, they were told to enter the mansion through the back door. When they entered the house, they met the client.

"I'm terribly sorry about earlier, I'm the client, Kaby Melon," Kaby introduced himself. Kaby is a relatively tall and aged man with gray hair and a distinctive, small mustache above his lip which has a darker gray color than his hair. He also wears a green suit with a red tie. He then introduced his wife to them.

"Your name sounds yummy," Natsu commented as he sat down on a couch.

"Yeah, making me kinda hungry again just thinking about it," Pyrus said as he too took a seat.
"Melon!" Happy and Tommy cheered while they he was standing on the back of the couch.

"Hey! That's rude!" Lucy said, scolding the four And Rayna pinching Pyrus and Tommy's cheek for making comments like that about Kaby's last name. "I'm sorry for my brother comments about you, Mr Kaby" Rayna apologized.

"Ah haha! People tell me that often. so don't worry about it," Kaby told them as he too took a seat across form the four of them.

"Melon…this town's name too…I've heard of them somewhere… " Lucy thought, trying to remember where she has heard these names before. They then got into a short discussion, Kaby saying that he couldn't believe that a guild like Fairy Tail would accept his request.

"Let's talk about the work," Kaby said, the Fairy Tail team now listening to him with their full attention. "There is only one thing that I am asking you to do: the one and only copy of 'Daybreak' that the Duke of Everlue owns… please incinerate it." The team was very surprised to hear this, but Rayna for a different reason.

"Daybreak?... What's kind book is making him wants us to destroy it?" Rayna thought to herself.
"So we don't have to steal it?" Natsu asked.
"I'm basically asking you to destroy someone's possession without permission, so it's almost the same as stealing…" Kaby explained.

"That's surprising…I thought you were gonna ask us to retrieve the book that he took from you," Lucy said, saying what she thought this job was about. Natsu then said that if Kaby wanted the book burned, they should just burn the mansion down, with Happy agreeing with him. "NO! You'll surely go to jail for that!" Lucy yelled at him for even suggesting that.

"Yeah…as easy as that would be, that would probably be the stupidest thing for us to do on this job," Pyrus commented on Natsu's idea. "But... When it comes to that, then I'll be happy to do it " He continued but got a smack in the head by Rayna.

Lucy sighed as she then said, "Does someone else on this team is sane." As Rayna and the cats raised their hands. Lucy then asked what was in the book, only for Natsu to so that no one would care and brought up how much they were being paid to do this. But Kaby informed them that he has increased the reward form 200,000 Jewels to 2 million Jewels. This new information, for these seven anyways, greatly surprised them. Natsu went into a small rant on how much they were each going to be paid, only for him and Happy to miscalculate, Happy saying that he and Natsu would get 1 million each, forgetting that there was no more after that. Lucy then asked, "W-wh-why…increase it to 2 million all of the sudden…?"

Kaby looked to the ground, shadowing his face as he said, "That book needs to be destroyed. I cannot forgive that book's existence." Lucy was very surprised by this response, as was Pyrus and Rayna, who was slightly confused as to what he meant.

Natsu then yelled out in excitement, his head actually on fire. "Let's go, Lucy, Pyrus, Rayna. I'm burning with passion!" he said as he dragged them behind him.

"Hey! He didn't counts us again" Alice said to Tommy and Happy.

While she was being dragged by Natsu, Lucy was also contemplating what Kaby might have meant from what he said.

After they left, Kaby and his wife talked about if he was sure that sending mages to get the book was a good idea. Kaby's wife stating that mages from another guild had already failed the job last week. Kaby responding with saying that he needed to remove from this world.

-Duke of Everlue's Mansion: Entrance-

Lucy was standing in front of the Everlue mansion, saying that she was here for the position of the blonde maid job. While she was waiting, Natsu, Happy, Tommy, Alice, Rayna and Pyrus were hiding behind a tree, quietly wishing Lucy good luck. But then, the ground next to Lucy started to bulge upwards slightly. The ground then gave way, revealing a giant woman, both in her height and her weight, in a maid outfit with her pink hair tied in pig tails. The sudden appearance of this maid frightened Lucy.

"Maid applicant?" the maid asked. She then looked down the hole she just made and said down into it that someone had arrived for the maid position. What came out of the hole next, was a strange man who has a curled mustache which directly protrudes from his nose, and a bushel of wavy hair atop his round head. He was wearing a formal black suit, with his jacket fastened with a large gold button and adorned with a decorative red flower. Beneath his jacket is a white collared shirt and a blue necktie. This man is the Duke of Everlue.

"Did you call me?" Everlue asked, laughing a strange laugh. Lucy was too shocked to respond right away though. He proceeded to look Lucy over, and when he was done, he said, "Rejected! Go home ugly!." He turned around and shooed her off with his hand as he said that. This comment greatly shocked Lucy, for she was sure she would have been able to get the job and then easily get the book. Everlue proceeded to say, "For someone as great as I am, only beautiful girls would suit me." As he was saying this, four more maids showed up, and they all looked very strange, mainly having strangely shaped heads or faces.

After getting denied entrance to Everlue's mansion, Lucy went back to wearing some normal clothing, and was now sulking against a tree in her friends' hiding spot.

"That could have gone better, but who would have known that that Everlue guy was such a weirdo," Pyrus said from where he was standing.
"Don't be sad, Lucy " Rayna tried to cheer her up, while patting her head.

"You're useless," Natsu said to Lucy, clearly disappointed that she didn't do her part of the job right.

"How I should know he have that kind of sense" Lucy then shouted how strange a sense of beauty Everlue had, saying that was the reason she couldn't get in.
"Excuses... " the cats said in unison, and Lucy started to crying.

"Now for a change in plan. Rayna, it's your turn!" Natsu said as he pointing Everlu's mansion.

"There's no way I'll let my sister near that guy, Natsu!" Pyrus said hugging Rayna towards his chest protectively. Natsu then thinking again. "Well then we'll go to 'Operation T'" Natsu said getting ready to fight. "What's that suppose to mean?" Rayna confused. Still hugged by her brother.

"Take them by storm!" Happy shouted.
"Now I like the sound of this 'Operation T' thing, time to use violence "Pyrus said with a smirk, as he let go of Rayna.

"Yeeeey violence!, Let's revenge it for Lucy!" Rayna exclaimed excitedly.

"I'll never forgive that pervert!" Lucy said, also getting fired up, as well as questioning how Natsu's plan is an operation.

But unbeknownst to them, Everlue was already planning something of his own, having seen Lucy's Fairy Tail mark on her hand.

"Okay.. Who will carry who?" Tommy asked Alice and Happy. "I'll carry Rayna" Alice said. "Well we have to decided who will carry Lucy" Tommy said to Happy. "While Pyrus can fly by himself because he have wind magic" Tommy added.

They begin to do a rock, paper, scissor and Happy won it. They begin to carry the one they agree for. As wind circle around Pyrus's feet and he begin to float.

The seven were soon on the roof of Everlue's mansion, with Happy, Tommy, And Alice flying them all up there. While Pyrus flying by himself

"Um…what's wrong with Tommy?" Lucy asked. At the current moment, Tommy was curled up in a small corner on the roof, with a dark cloud over his head, muttering to himself how heavy Lucy's body is, as he grabbing his arm in pain but Lucy weren't able hear him say this.

"Beats me, he's been like this ever since He flew you up here. Maybe he's afraid of your weights?" Natsu suggested, also perplexed by Tommy current state.

"That's damn right!" Tommy said as he suddenly got up. "I'm actually used to bring an heavy weights. but this is the first time I feel pain. Your boobs are to heavy, Lucy"

"What do you say!?" Lucy said angrily. "Well…um…" Tommy was trying to say something, but Lucy pinching his face.

"Anyways," Natsu said, getting everyone back to the main purpose, and then squishing his face against a window. "Why do we have to sneak in?"

"Isn't it obvious?" Lucy asked. "Although it's under someone else's request, what we're doing is basically robbery." They then got in a small conversation, Happy and Natsu saying Operation T was better, only for Lucy to shoot it down again. Then saying that she needs to take revenge on him, and will do so by rearranging some of his stuff.

Natsu then melted a small part of the glass in the window, and unlocked it, allowing them to enter the mansion. The room they ended up in was some sort of storage room, and was filled with various things. Happy ended up putting a skull on his head scaring Lucy and Rayna. They then went out into the hall way, planning to check room after room until they found the book. After Natsu and Happy complained, Lucy saying that they can be like ninjas, which got Natsu and Happy excited, and reminded Rayna of one of her brother's costume. But the five maids from earlier soon appeared form the ground. Natsu then quickly knocked all of them unconscious with a flame enshrouded kick while yelling "NINJA!"

"We can't let them find us just yet, nin-nin" Natsu said, his scarf wrapped around his face, holding his hands in a way one would see a ninja hold them.

"You guys are so noisy though…" Lucy commented.
"Yeah, aren't ninjas supposed to be really quiet?" Pyrus asked. The group then proceeded to hide in one of the rooms, to prevent being found by anyone else. The room they happened to end up in was a library. They started looking through all the books looking for "Daybreak."

"Wow... This guy really likes books" Lucy comments, search in a bookself, then she find a book that caught her eyes "huh?.. He even have entire volume of books that the famous author Lux Sol wrote!" She surprised then continued to search.

Pyrus now is climbing a leader to find the book in upper self. He grabbed a blue book that. "Aha!... A porn magazine!.. Now this officially make him a pervert" Pyrus look at the book pages. "Big brother, stop reading that!" Rayna angrily at him, looking at him from the bottom of the leader.

"I found a fish encyclopedia!" Happy exclaimed.

"I found Horror Novel about a guy hunted by his best friend after he killed him" Tommy exclaimed as title shown to be 'Sinister Tappa'

"And I found another porn book! " Natsu said.

And when Lucy was starting to think that finding the book would take a long while, Natsu just so happen to find it. Right when Natsu was about to burn it, Lucy recognized the author of the book, saying that she has read all of his books except for that one. She then started to plea to Natsu to not burn the book and let her keep it. It was then that the Duke of Everlue erupted from the ground.

"So that's what you guys were after," Everlue said as he came out of the ground. Natsu complained how Lucy took up too much time. "I was wondering what those mages were looking for so frantically, and it was the worthless book." The Fairy Tail Team questioned why he would call the book worthless. But Lucy even more so, wondering why the client would pay so much for a book that Everlue would call worthless.

"S-so can I keep the book then?" Lucy questioned, hopeful that the book wouldn't have to be destroyed.
"No. Regardless of how worthless it is, the book still belongs to me," Everlue said.

"Why keep something if you think it's worthless? That makes no sense," Rayna commented.
"What would you know? You're probably just a stupid, illiterate girl" Everlue said, not really caring for what Rayna said as making Pyrus glare at him for insulted his sister.

"Now all we have to do is burn it and we'll be done here," Natsu said, only for Lucy refuse to do it. "Lucy! It's our job!"

"Then at least let me read it!" Lucy said as she sat herself down on the floor, opened the book, and started to read it.

"Here!?" Everyone yelled in surprise.
"Bull shit! I don't like this! How dare you touch the book that belongs to the Duke of Everlue," Everlue shouted. "Come, Vanish Brothers!" A couple of book shelves started to move away, revealing a hidden passage way.

"It's finally time for business," said the shorter of the two figures. He has head is mostly shaved, with noticeably long, dark hair being present only on the back of it, where it is tied into a braid reaching down below the man's back, with a light ribbon circling the end, taking the form of a tuft. Four distinctive tattoos of kanji adorning his face: his right cheek bears the character for "Right", his left one the character for "Left", the character for "Up" is placed in the center of his forehead, and the one for "Down" on his chin, right below his lower lip. He also has noticeably pointed ears. His attire consists of a light tunic with a high collar, possessing dark stripes on the loose cuffs and flanking the fastener crossing the chest vertically, a pair of mildly loose dark pants, getting tighter in correspondence to his ankles, and traditional, dark Chinese shoes paired with light socks. Hanging on his left bicep, held there by a dark band passing above his right shoulder, is a square dark cloth bearing some sort of mark. In addition, the man carries around an oversized frying pan, possessing a noticeably long handle, on his back, held there by a rope passing over his right shoulder.

"If we get paid without doing any actual work, mama will get mad at us," said the taller of the two. He has long, dark and curly hair, which is arranged in a distinctive hairstyle, with four large, straight tufts jutting upwards on top of his head, getting smaller near their outer edges. His face is squared, with a very prominent, mildly rounded and hooked nose, and his dark eyes are topped by a light bandana covered in spiraling dark motifs, obscuring his forehead and keeping his hair back. His right forearm is covered by similar, sharp and dark tattoos, reaching down to his hand. His outfit is Western in look, consisting of a dark sweatshirt, with slightly puffy sleeves reaching below his elbows, adorned by light, wavy markings on the shoulder and the sleeve areas and bearing three light, diagonal stripes on each side of the torso, simple light pants and light trainers. He also bears a square cloth hanging above his right bicep with the same mark as the other man.

"Good afternoon," said the shorted brother.

"These brats are mages of Fairy Tail?" asked the taller brother.

"Look at the cloth on their arms!" Happy shouted. "They're from that mercenary guild, Southern Wolves!"

"He hired guys like that!?" Natsu said surprisingly.

"Looks like he's too cowardly to fight his own battle," Pyrus said, getting ready to fight as Rayna and Alice go near to Lucy.

Everlue once again did his strange laugh as he then said, "Say what you want, but Southern Wolves are always hungry! Prepare to die!" Everyone was staring at each other, ready to fight at any moment. But Lucy was totally ignoring them, very engrossed in the book she was reading.

"Hey!" everyone yelled out form Lucy just ignoring them.

"What a joke," the shorter Vanish Brother said.

"They claimed to be the mages of Fairy Tail?" the taller brother asked.

"Vanish Brothers! Retrieve the book at once! And kill them!" Everlue ordered them.

"This…. Natsu! Pyrus! Buy me some time!" Lucy shouted, seeming to have noticed something. "This book seems to hold some kind of a secret!" Lucy then ran out of the room with Rayna and Alice following her, confusing everyone that was in there, no one more so than Everlue.

"S-Secret?! I didn't notice when I read it, " Everlue thought to himself. "M-Might it be a treasure map or something?! I've gotta act quickly! " Everlue then started to dive into the ground, saying "Change of plans! I'll get her myself! Vanish Brothers! Obliterate those brats!"

"It's become troublesome," Natsu stated. "Happy, can you go after the girls?"

"The opponent is two 'Southern Wolves'!" Happy exclaimed, "I'll support you!"

"You've seem to have forgotten I was here Happy. Tommy you go too with Happy" Pyrus said, stepping forward, now standing next to Natsu. "I'll help him fight these so called 'wolves'." This comment angered the taller of the two brothers, but the shorter one calmed him down.

"Beat them Pyrus!, Natsu! " Tommy cheered Happy smiles as he then flew off, saying, "Natsu! Pyrus! Be careful!"

"Alright! We'll leave Lucy and the others to you!" Natsu shouted.

"Don't let us down Tommy, Happy, we're counting on you! guys!" Pyrus shouted.
"Roger!" Tommy salute before he following Happy.

"C'mon! Flame mage!" the shorter brother said. They then explained how they knew what Natsu's magic was, saying they saw him use it through a surveillance crystal. Then explaining the two types of magic, Holder Type, who use some sort of medium for their magic, and Ability Type, who creates things with the magic that flows through their body. "Although…" the brother continued as he looked at Pyrus "We have no idea what kind of magic you use. You don't seem to have any items or weapons on you, so it's probably safe to say you're also an Ability Type"

Pyrus smirked, "Only way to find out is to fight us." as he get to the fighting stances.

"So," Natsu started, putting his hand on fire, "since you know so much about our magic, that means you're prepared to end up charred, right?"

"Unfortunately, allow me to decline, because," the shorted brother said, flipping the giant frying pan off of his back and holding it to his side. "flame mages are the easiest kind of opponent for me. It also seems like the mages of Fairy Tail think that they are the strongest or something."

"It's true that we do hear a lot about you," the taller brother said. "So, we'll approve its status as a mage guild." He and his brother than said that mages were no match for the professional fighter that is a mercenary solider.

"Then why don't you come at me?" Natsu said as be beckoned them to come at him. "Both of you at the same time is fine too."

"Natsu, don't get over confident," Pyrus said as he then smirked. "Plus, I wanna fight them too, This gonna be fun".
"Brother…they're really looking down on us," the taller brother said.

"Since one of the opponents is a flame mage that I'm good at handling," the shorter brother said, "this should be easy business, don't you think?" He then charged at Natsu, aiming to chop at him with his giant frying pan, only for Natsu to dodge it. The taller brother then grabbed Natsu by the back of his shirt and threw him out of the library, through a wall and into the main lobby. Natsu was able to catch himself on the railing, but the other brother tried the same move he tried on Natsu before, only for Natsu to dodge by dropping down to the Everlue statute's tongue, questioning if they should be destroying their employer's house.

The two mercenaries stood on the second floor. Then the shorter brother then asked, "Do you know the weak point of a mage?"

"C-Can't handle transportation!?" Natsu shouted.
"Eggplant?…" Pyrus mumbled, now standing next to Natsu as he had somehow snuck past the two brothers.

"I-I don't really understand you," the shorter brother said, only hearing what Natsu said, "is that something personal?" He then jumped down to the first floor as he said, "It is the body." This statement really confused Pyrus and Natsu. As he and his brother continued to attack Pyrus and Natsu, he explained how mages primarily focused on training their mind and spirit, leaving their body weak, and how mercenaries always trained their bodies, saying that they were faster and stronger than both of them. Then telling them how they encountered a mage that spent years trying to master a powerful magic, and that they took him out in one hit. "That's how mages are."

"If they don't have their magic, they don't even have the average power of a human being," the taller brother stated. Natsu and Pyrus then got further away from them, Natsu doing backflips and Pyrus doing small backwards jumps.

"If that's true…" Pyrus said.
"Then why are none of your attacks hitting us?" Natsu asked, standing on one foot and sticking his tongue out at them.
"I see, the speed you two have seems to be good," the shorter brother said. "You two have trained somewhat."

"Brother…they shouldn't be able to avoid that attack," the taller brother said. The taller brother then jumped up, the shorter one positioning the frying pan parallel to the ground as the taller brother then landed on it.
"Be confident for now brats! I'll tell you why we're called the 'Vanish Brothers'!" the shorter brother said.

"We vanish. And we make others vanish too."
"Let's go!" the two brothers said at the same time. "Heaven and Earth Extinct Slaying Attack!" The shorter then flung the taller brother into the air, catching Natsu's attention as he looked up at the taller brother.

"If you look up to the heavens," the shorter brother said, attacking Natsu with the broad side of his frying pan. "we attack from the earth!" His attack connected with Natsu, causing him to slide back a bit.
"And if you look around on earth," the taller brother started to say.

"Hey, don't forget about me now," the taller brother looked up, only to see Pyrus had avoided his brother's attack and was now above him.
"When did he get up there ?" the brother thought to himself.

"To me you're too slow. Now, have a taste of your own medicine!" Pyrus shouted as he brought both of his hands up above his head. A wind soon formed from his hands, and make look like ball, the ball made out of wind begin to rotate at high speed in his right hand had appeared. The color begin to change from transparent into light blue. "Wind Dragon's Small Cyclone Bomb!" Pyrus shouted. The sudden appearance of the sphere took the brother off guard, for he was not expecting Pyrus to slammed the ball at him sending him to the floor.
"Wind Dragon's Iron Fist!" Pyrus shouted as he brought his fist down to the taller Vanish Brother's abdomen, while he still in the ground making a huge crater and shock waves through the mansion. Pyrus jump back and landing on his feet next to Natsu, while his hands on his pockets

The taller brother stood up, holding where he was hit as he said, "Brother…ugh...did you see that.?"
"Yes, I did," He responded. "He appears to be an Ability Type mage that uses Wind magic."
"So what? You figured out what my magic is. Not like it's going to change anything," Pyrus said.

"Whoa! That some attacks Pyrus!" Natsu commented on Pyrus's attacks. "Oh well, now just get blown away!" Natsu said as his cheeks starts to puff a bit. "Fire Dragon's Roar!" A large stream of fire left Natsu's mouth, heading right for the Vanish Brothers.

"Here it comes!" the taller brother yelled, "Flame magic!"

"This is it," the shorter brother said, positioning the frying pan so that the broad side of it was facing Natsu's flame. But what the two didn't expect was for the frying pan to absorb the fire. "Anti-flame mage use…as well as an ultimate technique! Flame Cooking!" He shouted. "My pan absorbs all the flames," as he was explain what the pan did, he started to flip it around his back, "multiplies it power, and send it right back!" A flame bigger than the one Natsu sent at him was sent towards Natsu and Pyrus, engulfing them both.

"Roasted fairies!" the taller bother shouted. "Perfect for starving wolves!"
"The stronger your flame is, the more chance that it will ruin your own body," the shorter brother explained, "Good bye."

What the two brothers did not expect to see was Natsu and Pyrus are okay within the fire.
"What?!" the shorter brother yelled in surprise.
"The flame doesn't work?!" the taller brother exclaimed. "No…even if he's a flame mage, that can't be…!"

"Didn't you hear us?" Natsu asked.
"Just because you know our magic, doesn't mean you can beat us," Pyrus said. "So…"
"Just get blown away!" Natsu yelled as he grabbed both of their heads. "Fire Dragon's Wing Attack!" Fire then erupted form both of Natsu's arms, sending both of the mercenary brothers behind him.
"We're not done yet!" Pyrus yelled, having raised his hands that swirl by wind. "Wind Dragon's Violent Wing Slash!" He then slammed his hands down onto the ground, sending a wind blast at the two, causing them to be imbedded into a wall, and creating an air explosion that breaking all windows on the mansion.

"Wha…what are these mages…?" the shorter brother asked as he and his brother fell from the wall, landing in a small heap on the ground.

"Now, shall we go look for Lucy and the others" Natsu said as he turned around, put his hands on the back of his head, and started to walk off.

"Sure, they probably needs help by now anyways," Pyrus said as he followed Natsu, dismissing the wind from his hands.

-In the Sewers-

Meanwhile, while Natsu and Pyrus were fitting the Vanish Brothers. Rayna, Alice, Lucy was hiding and Lucy reading "Daybreak," using a special pair of glasses called Wind Reading Glasses. These glasses allow the user to read books at much faster rates, allowing them to quickly finish it.

"What are you tried to find in that book, Lucy? " Rayna asked watching her reading that book "I can't believe this book contain so much secret" Lucy mumbled. "What secret?" Alice confused.

And when she finished reading the book, she came to the decision that instead of burning the book, she should instead deliver it to Kaby.

Before she can do anything, a hand grabbed her wrist. That revealed to be Everlue's hand.

"What have you find?... Tell me the secret in that book!" Everlue demand with creepy smile, Lucy winch in pain by his grasp.

"Oh no... Lucy!" Rayna shouted in worries"
"Let her go, you bastard!" Alice angrily pointed at Everlue.

"You're really pathetic aren't you?" Lucy said in pain. "You're an enemy to all books lover!"

"Me?.. Enemy of all books lover?..for a cultured person like me." Everlue asked still grasping Lucy's hand. "Someone who likes to collect other people's belongings is not a culture!" Lucy said, then Everlue grasping Lucy's hands more tightly.

"What's it inside, a treasure map? A place for hiding valuable object?.. What secret that inside the book?" Everlue questioned "come on, tell me!"
"Let her go you jerk!" Rayna shouted preparing her magic. "Don't you dare, kid...otherwise I'll break her hands" Everlue threatened, Rayna deactivated her Magic, since she didn't have a choice.

Lucy give him mocking tongue witch result that Everlue grasping her hands more tightly than before witch make Lucy in pain. "This girl didn't in a good situation!... I meet with Kemu Zaleon to write that book for me!. That's why, every secret in that book belongs to me!" Everlue yelled

Happy then appeared out of nowhere following with Tommy right beside him and kicked Everlue in his face, causing him to let go of Lucy and allowing her to escape. "Happy!...good job!" Lucy smile in relief. Happy flying for a moment before his wings disappear then fall down to the sewer water, making some bobble while he in the water.

"What's with this cat?" Everlue asked, while Tommy and Alice sweatdrop. Rayna now standing beside Lucy to protect her.

"Aam haapii (Im Happy)" Happy said while drowned. Alice then facepalm at his action. "You better get out from that" Tommy stated. "Tiiss wmterrr ims epmesinnmg (this water is refreshing)" he continued to say.

"But that's sewer water" Lucy stated grossly.

"The tables have turned, huh?" Lucy asked with a confident look on her face, having picked up her gate keys. "If you give me this book, I may forgive you. And I really wanted to slap you so badly" pointing her gate keys to Everlue and Rayna nodded.

"Ah ha! Celestial Spirit Magic, huh?" Everlue asked, recognizing that Lucy was holding up a key to a Stellar Spirit. "You're a fan of literature, yet you're using that phrase incorrectly. You should say 'The tables have turned' only when you position has turned from a disadvantage to an advantage." Everlue then proceeded to use his magic, Diver, to go underground, and attack Lucy and Rayna from all direction

"All of things that write in the book is ta story of a stupid adventure about you as a main character, Everlue!" Lucy said angrily at him. "Wait.. what?" Rayna confused that someone using himself as the main character for a book. "What's wrong with that?" Tommy and Happy asked

Everlue agreed that the plot was stupid, but having himself as the main character made the book great, then revealing that he forced Kemu Zaleon to write it. Then saying that he threatened to withdraw Kemu's and his family's citizenships, and how that is what got him to write the book. How he looked Kemu up in a cell for three years in order for him to write the book.

Lucy then started to stomp on his face, Everlue having dived underground and grabbed her by her ankle earlier. She started to yell how Kemu was protecting his family by writing the book. Then saying that Kemu used the last of his magic power to put a spell on the book, a spell that would hide the book's true contents.

"That's why I won't give this book to you! You don't have the right to possess this!" Lucy shouted.

"Open! Gate of Giant Crab! Cancer!" As Lucy opened the Celestial Spirit gate, a bright light appeared, and when it cleared, a man was standing there. This man has hair that is black and braided in red cornrows that end in a shape that resembles crab's pincers. He is wearing a blue striped shirt and dark long pants with two aquamarine stripes on each side, also wearing boots on his feet. In his pants there's a ring chain in the right pocket and a hairdresser tools' bag in the left side of his belt. He is also carrying a pair of scissors, where the holds look like a pair of crab claws. But the most noticeable thing was the six crab legs coming out of his back.

Happy then went on how he thought that Cancer was going to end his sentence with the word "kani" *crab*. But he became very disappointed when at the end of his first sentence, which was asking Lucy what kind of hairstyle she would like, he ended his sentence with "ebi" *shrimp*.

"It's a battle! Finish off that moustache guy!" Lucy shouted, giving Cancer an order.
"Okay-ebi," Cancer said.

"S-secrets!? There's still something else..? C-Could he have written about the illegal nature of my business!? "

Everlue thought to himself. "Crap! If the book is passed onto a mage inspector from the Council I'm doomed! " He then shouted in anger before bringing out is own gate key, and yelling, "Open! Gate of the Maiden! Virgo!" Like when Lucy summoned Cancer, a bright light appeared. Lucy, Rayna and the cats were surprised that Everlue also made a contract with a Stellar Spirit. When the light cleared, it was revealed that the giant pink haired maid is Virgo. "Virgo! Retrieve that book at once!" Everlue ordered.

But everyone let out a yell of surprise, for not only had Virgo appeared, but also Natsu and Pyrus, who were holding onto Virgo. Natsu and Pyrus were very confused as to what just happened.
"How did we…" Natsu started.
"…end up here?" Pyrus finished.
"Why are you two with Virgo!?" Everlue shouted.
"You guys…how…!?" Lucy was trying to say something, but was too baffled to think clearly.
"How…well she started to move all of the sudden," Natsu said.
"So we decided to follow her," Pyrus said.

"You mean 'grabbed' her!" Lucy yelled, referring to how Natsu and Pyrus were still holding onto the back of Virgo's uniform. She then said that it should be impossible for a human to pass through the Celestial Spirit world.

"Lucy!" Natsu shouted.
"What should we do!?" Pyrus yelled.
"Virgo! Get rid of all of these nuisances, quick!" Everlue ordered Virgo.
"Get rid of her!" Lucy and Rayna told Natsu and Pyrus.

"Alright!" Natsu and Pyrus shouted. They then quickly took her out, Natsu hitting one side of her head with a flame enshrouded punch and Pyrus hitting the other side of it after summoning his cyclone bomb. Everlue was surprised how quickly Virgo was taken out.

Lucy took out a whip she had and tied the end of it around Everlue's neck, saying, "You can't escape underneath the ground anymore!" She then threw him up and tossed him over to Cancer and Rayna saying that he should be nothing more than a supporting character in a story. After he landed on the ground, unconscious after Receiving Rayna's Solar Dragon's Iron Fist and Cancer's attack, all his hair fell out. Lucy then let out a sigh of relief, happy that the battle is over but the entire mansion then crumble because Everlue digging ground under it and the place collapse. Pyrus, Rayna, Tommy, Alice, and Lucy were then praised by Happy and Natsu, the two saying that they really were Fairy Tail mages.

-The Client's Mansion-

After the Fairy Tail team left Everlue's mansion, they went straight to Kaby's mansion. When they arrived, Lucy offered the book to Kaby. Kaby was very confused as to why they are trying to give the book to him. Lucy explained that since destroying it shouldn't be too hard, Kaby should destroy it himself.

"Th-Then I'll incinerate it!" Kaby exclaimed, snatching the book from Lucy's hand, saying that he didn't even want to look at the book.

"I can understand why you cannot tolerate the existence of this book," Lucy said, catching Kaby off guard. "It's to protect your father's pride. You are the son of Kemu Zaleon, aren't you?" Lucy asked. This information surprised Natsu, Happy, Tommy, Alice, Rayna, and Pyrus, catching them off guard. "Have you ever read this book?"

"No…I've heard of it from my father, but never read it," Kaby said. Then saying it would be a waste of time to read a piece of garbage like "Daybreak." Natsu asked if he was still going to burn, which Kaby responded that he was. Natsu got enraged by this, saying that since his dad wrote it he should keep it. Kaby then explained what happened when his dad returned home after writing the book, how he had chopped off his hand that he wrote with in front of him, saying he would never write another book. Kemu died soon after, having committed suicide after he told his son that he was thinking of him, then for Kaby to tell him that he has thrown away both his pride as a writer and a father. Kaby then said that he now regrets what he said to his father, that the only way he can make it up to him is by destroying his father's worst book. Kaby had just lit a match and was about to burn it.

"Wait!" Lucy shouted. Then the book started to shine and the letter that spelled "Daybreak" came off of the cover and floated above it. Lucy revealed that Kemu Zaleon's real name was Zekua Melon, and the he had cast a spell onto the book. This surprised everyone and they were surprised even more when they started to rearrange themselves. When they were done, the letter now spelled out "Dear Kaby." "Yes…he cast a spell that shuffled the characters in the book," Lucy explained. "Including the contents, and everything else." As Lucy said this, the book opened and the letters inside of it came out and started to rearrange themselves. Everyone was amazed by this spectacle.

"The reason he quit being a writer, wasn't only because he wrote the worst book in existence," Lucy explained. "But probably because he also wrote the best book in existence. The best book, which contains letters to Kaby." Kaby then remembered what his dad said, that he was always thinking of him. The book then closed, having finished rearranging its letters. "That is what Kemu Zaleon truly wanted to leave behind." Lucy said with a smile.

Kaby was reading through some of the book, thinking about his father. "I never…really…understood him…" Kaby said

"Of course," Lucy said, still smiling. "If you understand how a writer's mind works, you'll lose all pleasure in reading a book."
"You don't say" Pyrus thought while sweatdrop. Natsu, Happy, and the others were happy with how everything that had happened.
"Thank you," Kaby said, holding the book to his chest. "I can't burn this book."

"Then we won't need our reward either," Natsu said.
"Agreed," Happy said. This confused everyone in the room.

"We were asked to 'destroy the book,'" Natsu said. "and we failed to accomplish that."
"Huh…if you put it like that, I guess you have a point," Pyrus said, thinking over Natsu's explanation.
Kaby and Lucy started to object to, only for Happy and Natsu to shoot it down. "Let's get going!" Natsu shouted, already leaving. "You should go back too Melon, to your own home."

-Dirt Road-

"I can't believe you!" Lucy shouted. "How could you turn down 2 million Jewels like that!?"
"If we accept money for something we didn't accomplish, it'll just taint Fairy Tail's name," Natsu explained.

Pyrus nodded as he walked next to Natsu, saying, "Yeah, taking a reward something we didn't do looks kinda bad."

"Agree!" Rayna and the cats said from behind.

They then talked about how Kaby had just borrowed the mansion form a friend. And that Natsu knew by the different smell Kaby had from the house. Pyrus then figured out that the stack of papers that she didn't want them to see back at her place was a book she was writing. Lucy then got really embarrassed, saying that she wasn't that good at writing yet. It seems that Fairy Tail's newest team will have a lot of future adventures together.
