Sup guys! Sorry if this story updates so slow. Since I have a job now.. I can only write during the weekends, so bare with me. Anyways.. the only vote that I have for now was 2 for Ultear. Still need 8 more if you want Ultear to be a part of Natsu's harem. Or you could just vote for other girls for example. If you like Kagura then vote: Kagura: yes. Simple right? Anyway, for now.. enjoy chapter 9
CHAPTER 9: Kian Barsley
At a small forest located at the eastern part of Sakuramori, lies a large house that was owned by a retired professional inventor. The inventor was now in his 60's and spend the most of his retirement days by creating stuffs as a hobby. The retired inventor named: Julius, was living his carefree life in peace for almost 10 years until…
"WAAAAHHH!!!"
Natsu and Lucy screamed in panic, while running around in circles. Laki turned to Erza in hope for a solution.
"Erza.. what are we gonna do?"
Erza made a thinking pose. 'the port of Cedar is 89 miles away from the forest of Sakuramori, and I don't think that dragging the submarine by force would be a..' Erza quickly snapped out of her thoughts. "how foolish of me, now I'm also thinking like Natsu." She told herself before letting out a small smile.
Natsu suddenly stopped from running around, as he came up with a brilliant idea. "oh I know!" he exclaimed, getting the other mage's attention.
Natsu pointed his thumb at himself. "we'll drag the ocean star using some ropes until we reached the port of Cedar town."
*THUD!*
Lucy, Laki, Levy, and Juvia comically fell on the floor. Erza face palmed, though she cant blame him cause she also had the same idiotic idea.
"WE CANT DO THAT!"
"mm! Lu-chan's right! We'll be dead tired before we can even reach our destination!"
Juvia sighed. "Natsu-kun.. sometimes I really don't know what to do with you."
Natsu placed both of his arms at the back of his head before turning around. "geez! And here I thought, that it was a brilliant idea."
'what's brilliant about that?' Laki thought with a deadpan expression.
*giggle*
The mages looked back to where the giggling sound was coming from, and found Julius laughing silently at them.
*sigh* "you youngsters are quite something I see."
He stood up from his seat. "follow me." Julius walk out of the living room.
The Fairy tail mages looked at each other before shrugging and decided to just follow the old man to where he was guiding them. Moments later.. they found themselves walking down at a stairway.
'how deep does this old man's basement goes?' Natsu thought with a bored expression. After 10 minutes of walking downstairs, they reached a large door.
"we're here." Julius opened the door and the mages was stunned as they enter a large space of room, with only a huge pool of water can be seen inside.
"where are we Julius-san?" Juvia asked.
Julius chuckled. "7 years ago, after you help me fix my ocean star. I hired a few people to make this underground tunnel for me, in order for the submarine to be able to travel through out the sea." Julius then brought out a controller and pressed a red button. Seconds later.. a large blue submarine -with a length of 37 meters- emerge from the huge pool.
"behold.. my ocean star!" Julius proudly presented his creation.
"woah!" Natsu marveled at the submarine with his mouth hanged open.
"It's huge!" Lucy commented.
"Aye! I bet even with our whole guild, we could all still fit in there." Happy agreed to the blond.
Levy turned to Julius. "is it possible for us to drive that huge submarine?"
"don't worry my child." Julius handed her a book. "just follow the instructions and you will be fine, and besides.. you have Juvia with you."
Juvia nods her head. "Julius-san is right! the ocean star can be fueled by a water based magic, so don't worry cause Juvia will do her best to help out."
Natsu and the other mages smiled at the rain woman. "we'll be counting on you then Juvia"
"alright! I'll drive the submarine, Levy! You will help me out by reading the manual, Lucy! you will handle the navigation, Laki! Help Lucy out, Juvia is in charge of the submarine's power-up, Happy try to not bother anyone, and Natsu.. please don't throw up inside the submarine. Now let's move!" Erza ordered.
"YES MA'AM!" the others saluted.
"here you go." Julius handed Erza the key.
Erza clutched the key. "thank you sir Julius. We will surely repay your kindness someday." She bowed in gratitude.
The old man waved her off. "it was nothing. The tunnel under that pool will lead you to the sea. Be careful young ones and good luck with your journey."
Natsu and the others also bowed in gratitude. "thank you sir/old man!"
.
Happy and Natsu puts all of their belongings inside the submarine, while Erza and the others started the control system of the ocean star. A few minutes later and the submarine started to sink down. Julius waved them their farewell as the submarine slowly sunk down.
"let's do this! Erza you must press the green button." Levy ordered.
"ok!" Erza pressed the said button and the propellers started to spin rapidly.
Natsu raised his fist. "Yosh! Let's go to Sandersonna!"
The ocean star started to move forward with increasing speed as it enters the under water tunnel.
.
As the mages were gone, Julius went back to his living room. When he enters the room, he was greeted by a man no taller than Natsu and has a short spiky green hair.
"since you're here.. I take it that the dragon boy already left. Am I right?"
Julius sat at the couch. "he's eager to go to Sandersonna but… I don't think it's about mastering the Balance Breaker that he's after for."
The green haired raised an eyebrow. "hmm?"
"tell me Hector. Does Kian had a daughter?" Julius asked.
Hector crossed his arms. "I don't know. That four eyed geek doesn't talk much about his personal life story. Why?"
Julius leaned back and looked up. "a girl whose name was Laki, came here with Natsu Dragneel and said that she was going to Sandersonna to find her father. I don't know if it really was Kian but.. her eyes resembles Kian's, that I cant help but wonder if he did once had a family before."
Hector sighed. "I really doubt that dragon geek had a relationship with anyone before but.. I'll ask him about it for you."
Julius smiled. "thank you. That would be a great help for miss Laki."
"whatever old man. See yah" Hector left and waved without looking back at Julius.
.
~back to the ocean star~
The fairy tail mages was traveling the long tunnel for about an hour now.
"geez.. how long is this tunnel?" Natsu wondered aloud.
"Lucy. Where are we right now?" Erza asked while driving.
Lucy inspected the navigational radar. "um.. we are now heading north while we are underground of Hosenka, so.. we will be reaching the Cloud Sea as we exit the tunnel, underground of Cedar in exactly 26 minutes from now."
Natsu blinked twice. "Cloud Sea?"
Laki nodded. "according to the old map of Fiore. Sandersonna was located 90 miles away, north west of Cedar town."
"which indicates that Sandersonna is inside of Cloud Sea." Levy added.
Natsu tilted his head to the side. "but why does it called: Cloud Sea?"
"because it is the sea, known for it's thick fog and mist that makes the sailors and pirates to have their hardest time of sailing. Everyone stated that it is the most difficult sea to sail for." Erza answered.
"look Natshu! There's a lot of fishy wishy!" Happy called while looking out through the window.
"really! let me see!" Natsu dashed to his best friend.
"looks like we're getting close to the exit since the fishes are starting to be spotted on." Levy stated.
A few minutes later and they successfully got out of the tunnel.
"we made it!" Natsu cheerfully announced.
Erza smiled. "now lets go find Sandersonna."
"wait Erza-san!"
"what is it Juvia?"
"Juvia thinks that we should go up first." The rain woman suggested.
Erza looked at her confusingly. "why?"
"well.. Juvia just thought that it might take more than a day for us to find a missing island, so… we should at least pack ourselves some food supplies while we are near the port of Cedar town."
Erza made a surprised expression. "good thinking Juvia!"
"but I thought that the permit allows you to use this submarine for only a day." Laki wondered.
"don't worry Laki-san! Julius-san told Juvia that he will allow us to use the ocean star for as long as we like. Just be sure to return it afterwards." Juvia informed.
Laki beamed at her. "really?! then we should go up now and have a little shopping for the trip."
"on it!" Erza pushed a button and the submarine started to move up.
Levy nods in agreement. "mm! Let's go. How about you Lu-chan? You coming?"
Lucy just stares at Natsu.
"Lu-chan?"
Natsu looked back at the blond. "why are you looking at me like that?"
Lucy crossed her arms under her large bust. "well.. I've been wondering about something for a while now since we started the ocean star."
Natsu raised an eye brow. "and that is..?"
Lucy moved closer to him. "how are you fine in here?"
Erza, Laki, Levy, Happy, Juvia, and Natsu widen their eyes at her question. "you're right!" Natsu exclaimed.
Levy made a thinking pose. "submarine is also a vehicle, so why is Natsu not puking right now?"
Juvia placed her hand at Natsu's forehead. "are you sure your fine Natsu-kun? Don't you feel anything?"
Natsu held Juvia's hand and slowly removed it from his forehead. "yeah.. I'm totally fine. I don't feel sick at all."
"maybe the submarine has some anti-motion sickness device around here." Levy thrown in her opinion.
"this is awesome! I get to enjoy the trip and hang out with you guys without my stomach aching!" Natsu cheered in joy.
"we're here." Erza announced. "so.. whose gonna go out shopping and whose gonna stay here to look after the submarine?" She added a question.
"You guys go on ahead. I'll just stay here and keep on watch." Natsu stated.
"you sure?" Levy asked.
Natsu nodded. "I'll be fine here. So go on and have fun." He smiled at them. 'with me staying here, you girls wont be able to use me as your bags carrier.' He added a thought.
"alright then.. if you say so. Let's go guys." Lucy said before climbing up the ladder.
"Natshu.. I'm going with them to buy some fishes." The blue exceed informed his partner.
Natsu happily nodded. "have fun buddy!" Happy flew up to the submarine entrance, followed by Laki and Levy.
"alright then.. we will be back as soon as we're done. Natsu! Don't touch anything and behave yourself." Erza ordered. "if I get back and found the submarine in complete mess your dead, you got it?!" she added a threat.
Natsu gulped in fear but nodded. "y-yes ma'am!"
"um.. Juvia will just stay here." Juvia declared while raising her right hand -her face was covered in redness-.
Erza raised an eyebrow. "are you sure Juvia?"
Juvia nodded. "Juvia will look after the ocean star with Natsu-kun."
Erza sighed. "fine… look after Natsu for me will you? Make sure that he's not gonna do something stupid that will set the submarine into flames."
Juvia nodded her head. "Juvia will definitely do that."
"ok then." Erza begin to climb up to the submarines top entrance.
As the red head was gone, Natsu turned to the rain woman. "you don't have to stay here and accompany me Juvia. I'm totally fine here."
Juvia turned her head to the side. "Juvia decided to stay here so that she can watch over Natsu-kun and prevent him from destroying the ocean star. Not because J-Juvia wants t-to spend an alone time with N-Natsu-kun." She reasoned with reddened face.
Natsu suddenly turned serious. "I'm not gonna destroy anything here, cause this is Laki's only chance to find her dad."
Juvia felt bad at what she said. "s-sorry! Juvia was only joking. She knows that Natsu-kun wouldn't do such a thing."
Natsu playfully grinned at her. "so you do want to accompany me."
Juvia's face became redder. "s-shut up! You idiot!" she walk away leaving the pyro alone.
Natsu immediately followed after her. "hey Juvia come on! I was only joking too."
"Natsu-kun you idiot!" Juvia angrily muttered, still walking away from him.
.
Erza jumped down from the top of the submarine. "now let's go shopping. We will meet here after 2 hours."
The others nodded their heads. "wait! where's Juvia?" Lucy asked.
"hmm? Oh.. She said that she would like to stay and watch the submarine." Erza answered before heading to the main town of Cedar, leaving the now stunned blond celestial mage.
'why didn't I think of that?!' Lucy irritatingly thought to herself.
"Lu-chan aren't you coming?" Levy called out to her fellow book lover friend.
Lucy snapped out of her thoughts. "ah.. y-yeah! I'm coming!" she rushed to follow Levy.
.
Natsu was now lying at a bed in the resting room inside the submarine. He had a serious face as he look up at the ceiling. 'I wonder what's waiting for me once I get there. Will Laki's dad be there? And how is that island gonna help me awaken my Dragon sense?' memories from the tragedy at Tenrou island flashed to his mind. 'just you wait! I'll get stronger, and by the time you show your stinky dragon face to me again.. I'll kick your ass!'
Natsu snapped out of his thoughts when the door suddenly opens. The pyro quickly moved and sat at the side of the bed.
"so.. your not mad at me anymore?" he playfully asked.
Juvia -who opened the door- crossed her arms under her bust. "Juvia doesn't get mad easily just because of some people's idiocy."
Natsu raised an eyebrow. "really now.."
"so what's bothering Natau-kun?" she asked.
Natsu looked down to his left side. "nothing."
Juvia eyed him for a second and sighed. "you said that you will watch over the submarine, but you've been here for almost an hour now. Juvia made the right decision to stay here cause she knows that Natsu-kun wouldn't really watch over the submarine."
Natsu made no reaction to what she said. Juvia noticed that something was really bothering him, so she came up with an idea to cheer the pyro up. She sat beside him and brought out a small crystallized ball from her pocket. Natsu looked at her confusingly 'what is she up to?'. Juvia focused her magic at the crystal ball, a second later and the ball started to glow brightly. Natsu covered his eyes. "what is that thing Juvia could you put that-?"
"hello?"
A small familiar voice made Natsu stopped from talking. The bright light slowly faded, and an image was formed on the crystalized ball. A young girl with pink hair and two blue locks framing her face was shown on the crystalized ball.
"Sh-Shina?"
"Daddy!" Shina happily greeted her supposed dad.
Natsu's mood quickly brightens as he saw the young girl. He let out a wide grin as all of his worries suddenly disappears by just hearing Shinas voice.
"how are you doing my little rainbow?"
Shina giggled. "I'm fine daddy! How about you?"
Natsu grinned. "I'm fine now because of you!"
"really?! Did Shina really cheered daddy up?"
Natsu raised an eyebrow. "hoh.. your talking like your mommy now huh?"
Shina grinned. "hehe.. Shina likes how mommy talks!"
"of course you do. By the way Shina.. how come your mommy was able to contact you?" Natsu asked. Juvia jolted at the pyro's question.
Shina tilted her head to the side. "hmm? Of course by a lacrima communicator that Shina gave to her mommy and daddy. Your using it right now."
"oh! So you gave mommy and daddy a lacrima communicator riiiight." Natsu grabbed the hand of Juvia who was attempting to escape.
Shina nods her head. "hai! Shina gave mommy two lacrima communicators one for each of you."
Natsu sagely nodded his head, while Juvia tried to free her hand from Natsu's grasp.
"um.. Shina."
"yes daddy."
"how about we'll talk some other time. Your mommy and I have some things to talk about."
Shina beamed brightly at him. "ok! Shina was actually about to go to school anyway, bye daddy!"
"bye! And good luck with your school"
"hehehe.. I love you daddy!"
Natsu smiled warmly at her. "I love you too my sweet little rainbow." The lacrima communicator had finally turned off. Natsu turned to Juvia with a very happy smile.
"ne Juvia?"
Juvia gulped. "what is it Natsu-kun?" she made an innocent smile.
"where's my lacrima communicator?"
Juvia puts her index finger on her chin. "hmm? Juvia doesn't know what you were talking about."
Natsu's eyebrow twitches. "oh.. playing dumb are we?" he let go of her hand and cracked her knuckles. "prepare your self." He said with an evil grin.
Juvia moved back a little and tried to cover herself with a blanket. "w-what are you gonna do to Juvia?"
Natsu readied himself as he made a pouncing stance. "you'll see." Natsu then jumped at her.
"KYAH!"
.
.
Lucy was now walking at Cedar town's market place while carrying some bags of food supplies. *sigh* "I wish Natsu was here. He could carry some of these bags."
"Lu-chan!" Levy called.
"Levy! Are you done also?"
Levy nodded. "mhm! Lets go! It's almost time for us to be back at the submarine.
Lucy giggled. "yeah.. otherwise Erza might kill us if we got late."
.
.
*pant* *pant*
"Natsu-kun please… Juvia cant take it anymore.."
*pant* *pant*
"what are you talking about Juvia? We're just getting started."
Both mages are now dripping in sweat while panting heavily. Juvia was lying at the bed and Natsu was hovering her as he look down at her. "now time for round two."
Juvia widen her eyes. "NO!!"
"AHAHAHAHAHA!! Natsu-kun STOP! Juvia cant take it anymore." Juvia pleaded.
Natsu kept on tickling her waist. "we're not gonna stop here Juvia until you tell me where my lacrima communicator is."
"f-fine! Juvia will give it to you once we go back home!"
Natsu tickled faster. "not enough! Why did you hide it from me in the first place?"
"AHAHAHAHAHA!!! JUVIA IS SORRY!"
Natsu moved his fingers to her toes as he kept on tickling. "sorry is not enough Juvia! I need your explanation."
"AHAHAHAHA!! FINE! Just let Juvia go and she will tell you!"
Natsu stopped his tickling. *pant* *pant* "now… talk!"
Juvia looked to the side. "well.."
"well?"
Juvia childishly pouted at him. "its like what you just said back at the amusement park… Shina-chan likes Natsu-kun more than Juvia."
Natsu lightly scoffed at her. "so you hid the lacrima communicator from me, to make Shina more closer to you than me?" Natsu then laughed at her.
Juvia kept on pouting at him. "laugh all you want! Juvia will become Shina-chan's favorite you'll see!"
Natsu chuckled at her. "yeah.. yeah.. she's also starting to talk like you, but that's not why I'm laughing."
Juvia looked at him confusingly.
Natsu smiled warmly at him "I'm laughing because… you have to abort your brilliant plan of getting closer to Shina, just because you were worried about me." Juvia blushed at Natsu's statement.
"thank you Juvia."
"i-it was nothing. Juvia o-only did the right thing." She looked at Natsu eye to eye and blushed deeper. "umm.. Natsu-kun"
"yeah?"
"would you mind getting off of Juvia now?"
"hmm?" Natsu noticed that he was still pinning Juvia on the bed, so he quickly stood up and moved out of her way. "oh.. sorry about that."
"i-it's fine, Juvia doesn't mind." Juvia stood up and recomposed herself.
*BAM!*
The door suddenly opened as Erza, Lucy, Levy, and Happy enters the room, they were greeted by a sweating Natsu and a red faced Juvia, whose clothes were seemed to be a little messy.
A thick mark appeared at Erza's forehead. "what are you two doing?"
Happy snickered while covering his mouth using his paw. "I wonder how Gray would react once he found out."
Juvia quickly waved her hands on front. "it's not what it's looks like."
Lucy looked at Natsu with a sad expression. "why are you both here in one room? There's plenty of rooms in this submarine, so there's no need for you two to share."
Natsu looked back at her confusingly. "what are you talking about? We're not sharing a room."
"then what are you two doing in here?" Levy asked.
"nothing much. Juvia and I was just talking to someone from a lacrima communicator." Natsu explained while cleaning his nose, using his pinky finger.
Erza eyed him suspiciously. "to be specific. You two aren't doing anything inappropriate right?"
"what does incorporate mean?"
Erza sighed. "figures. Alright.. let's go and start the submarine now." All of them stepped out of the room and went back to the control room.
They started the submarine and continue their quest in search for the missing island of Sandersonna. Now.. they are traveling the Cloud Sea, 500 feet underwater.
"Natsu. Could you call Laki please." Lucy requested.
"no problem."
"thank you."
Natsu walked out of the control room in search for Laki. "where is she?" he open one room to check if the wood mage was there, but she's not. Natsu closed the door. *sigh* "Laki! Where are you!"
"I'm right here."
Natsu followed Laki's voice and found her sitting near the large window, enjoying the view of the ocean deep.
Natsu sat in front and now facing Laki. "what's wrong Laki? Lucy's looking for you."
"hey Natsu."
"hmm? What is it?"
"if he's there um.. what am I supposed to do next?" Laki asked still facing the window.
Natsu scratched the back of his head. "uh.. I don't really know actually. But why don't you start by introducing yourself first."
Laki's sad expression can be seen at her reflection on the glass window. "but.. what if he wasn't really there? Or he doesn't want to see me."
Natsu can smell the saltiness of the tears that are threatening to drop from her eyes. "you have nothing to worry about. I'm sure that he's there, and if he doesn't want to talk to you.. I'll make him talk to you, either by force or by having a deal."
Laki wiped her eyes and looked at Natsu. "what makes you sure that he's there? And what do you mean by having a deal?"
Natsu stared at the window. "based on what is happening right now.. I had a guess that he wants to make sure that I will learn the Balance Breaker, meaning.. he will be there to watch my progress. About the deal.. I think that your dad wants me to do something for him once that I learned the Balance Breaker since he's putting a lot of effort in helping me. but I don't know what it is for now, so I will use that to have a deal with him and make sure that the two of you will have your little talk."
"you'll do that.. for me?" Laki asked.
Natsu turned to her and grinned widely. "your part of Fairy tail, meaning your my family. And families helps each other out, so don't cry. Ok?"
Laki blushed at him and weakly nods her head. "mm."
Natsu stood up. "alright then.. since your good now, Lucy wants to see you."
"right."
Laki stood up and followed Natsu on his way back to the control room. As they walk there way, Laki stared at Natsu's back. 'not bad.. for a guy I guess.' She thought with pinkish cheeks.
Natsu opened the door of the control room and called for his blond partner. "hey Luce! Laki's here!"
Lucy look back at them. "oh! Thank you for bringing her here."
"no sweat. I'll be going to the kitchen then. Just call me if you need me." Natsu left the two girls and went to the kitchen.
"ok." Lucy waved at him then turned to Laki and handed her a map. "so Laki.. about this area. Can you mark some spot for me while I look on the Navigation? Oh. Don't worry, I will tell you on which part you should marked."
Laki fixed up her glasses and nods her head. "ok. Leave it to me!"
.
They travel the deep see for about 3 hours and the said previous location of Sandersonna was nearly on their reach.
"Lucy. How long until we reached the target location?" Erza asked.
Lucy checked the navigation system. "uh.. about 8 minutes from now."
Levy's eyes widen when she spotted something. "ahh! I see it! The island's bed rock." She pointed out.
"how is that possible?" Erza asked herself. 'I've already sailed this part of the sea before, and there's supposed to be no island in this area.' She added a thought.
"well what do you know… we found it." Levy commented.
"someone call Natsu! We will be arriving there soon." Erza ordered.
"Juvia will go and get Natsu-kun." Juvia went out of the control room, and head her way to get the said pyro.
.
.
"is this the place?" Natsu looked around as he was now standing on Sandersonna's beach.
"this is the island that has been missing for 3 decades?" Happy asked aloud.
Erza looked back to the ocean and saw nothing but a white fog that acts as the island's wall. 'the island is surrounded by a thick fog. What is happening to this place?'
"guys.. how about we look around and see if we could find Laki's dad around here." Levy advised. The others agreed and they started to go deeper in the island.
.
30 minutes of walking and they still haven't found Laki's father. Happy looked around and noticed a lot of unfamiliar trees.
"Natshu.. are those fruits edible?"
"I don't know buddy. I've never seen or eaten a fruit like those before."
"don't try to touch or eat anything your unfamiliar with. Understand?" Erza ordered.
"Aye/Yes ma'am!" the duo saluted.
"this place gives me the chills." Lucy commented while hugging herself.
*Znnnnnn!!*
Natsu suddenly stopped walking as he felt something. Small sweats are starting to appear on his forehead.
"what's wrong Natsu-kun?" Juvia asked in worry.
"hey.. your getting all sweaty. Is everything alright?" Lucy added.
Natsu just stood still. His heart was beating faster as the feeling was getting stronger. "guys! I don't like what I'm feeling right now."
Laki looked at him confusingly. "what are you talking about Natsu?"
Erza walked to his direction. "Natsu.. what is happening to-"
*SLASH!*
"ARGHH!!" Levy screamed in pain as her back was suddenly got slashed. Her body fell on the ground and revealed that her back was bleeding as it has a large claw mark.
"LEVY!!" Lucy run to her best friend's spot.
"Requip: Heaven's wheel Armor!"
Erza readied herself. "an enemy attack!"
The other mages prepared their magic for any enemy appearance.
*SLASH!*
"Argh!" Erza winced as the slash hits her back, but thanks to her armor.. the damage isn't that much compared to what happen to Levy.
"what is going on here?!" Erza asked aloud. She then surround herself with floating swords.
"Juvia thinks that the enemy is invisible!" the rain woman stated.
"Natsu.. can you smell or hear something?" Lucy asked the pyro while guarding Levy's unconscious body.
Natsu tried to smell the air. "no! There's no sound or odor coming from it!"
*SLASH!*
*SLASH!*
"AHH!!" Juvia screamed as her right leg got slashed.
"ARGH!" Natsu winced in pain as he got slashed on his left arm.
Erza gritted her teeth. "there's more than one attacker. We cant fight like this." She swing her swords around, in hope to get at least one cut to their invisible enemy.
"I got it! Every one gather around me!" Laki ordered. They did what she requested and went near her. Then Laki formed her hands to prepare her magic.
"Wood Make: Dooms Day Dome!"
Woods started to appear from the ground and surround them as it formed into a giant wooden dome, with them being trapped inside.
Natsu let out a fire to use as a light. "why did you trap us Laki?" he asked.
Laki fixed up her glasses. "we need to buy some time for our plan of attack. This is the only way that I can think of."
Erza stabbed the ground with her sword. "damn it! We cant fight back if We cant even detect our enemies!"
"not to mention.. some of us are wounded." Lucy commented as she wiped the blood on Levy's back.
"Natshu.. I'm scared." Happy tightly hugged Natsu's head.
Natsu patted Happy's head. "don't worry buddy! We'll get out of this."
*SLASH!*
*SLASH!*
Cracks are starting to appear at the wooden dome.
"their trying to get in." Juvia stated.
Erza tighten her hold on her sword. "this dome cant hold on any longer. Everyone prepare yourselves!"
Natsu lit up his fists in fire, Juvia gathered some water around her, and Lucy pulled out a golden key.
"Open Gate of the Golden Bull: Taurus!"
A large cow holding a giant battle axe suddenly appears. "MOOOOO!" Taurus readied his battle axe for any incoming attacks.
*crack!* *crack!*
*CRASH!*
The wooden dome finally got destroyed. The fairy tail mages was about to launch there attacks on every direction but..
A green can was thrown near their spot and explodes. Resulting for a huge green smoke to surround the place.
"RAGH!" "RAGH!"
As the green smoke disappears. Two large Mutt-like creatures in full green color, was seen just in front of Erza.
Erza prepared her two swords. "so you were the ones that are attacking us."
"HAGH!" Erza made a cross form of slash on one of the Mutt-like creature's stomach.
Juvia followed Erza's lead, by using her water magic.
"Water Slicer!"
The mutt-like creature was sliced into pieces.
.
"Fire Dragon's Iron Fist!"
Natsu punched the other one with his flaming fist, sending it to the air.
"Taurus!" Lucy called out to her celestial spirit.
"MOOO!" Taurus jumped high and swings his battle axe at the monster, resulting for it's head to be cut off.
"That's for hurting Levy." Lucy said to the headless monster. She then thank and send Taurus back to the spirit world.
Laki sighed in relief. "I think we're safe now guys."
*clap!* *clap!* *clap!*
"well done! But I wont be helping you again next time." A voice of a man was suddenly heard from their backs.
"whose there?!" Erza quickly pointed her sword to the direction of where the voice was coming from.
A man with a messy black hair and wears a pair of glasses raised both of his hands. "relax it's only me."
Natsu and Lucy widen their eyes at the man. "you!" Natsu then looked at Laki's direction and found her stunned at what she is seeing right now. Laki's brown eyes, was glued at the person that was in front of her.
The black haired man smirked at Natsu. "long time no see Natsu Dragneel. The names.. Kian Barsley by the way."
