Kage's POV
"How do we open it?"
"It looks like it has a key hole."
"I know someone who's perfect for the job." Lucy said pulling out a key "Cancer! Can you open this?"
"I'm made for cutting hair not picking locks."
When Michelle started crying Cancer sucked it up and used his scissors to break the lock. When he did the whole desert caved in and swallowed us up.
"Everybody alright?" Natsu asked after we landed.
"I think I'm still alive."
"Aye."
"Where's Michelle?"
We found the girl buried in the sand not too far from us.
"Pull on three."
"One."
"Two."
"Three!"
We pulled the girl out only to be met with another door, but this one had no lock.
"This kind of puzzle is right up my alley." Lucy said "It probably has a pass phrase. Open Sesame!"
Nothing happened.
"Did she really think that would work?" Romeo asked.
"Beats me kid." I told him "Just let her try."
We all just sat there and yelled random words at the door trying to get it to open.
"Romeo give us a hand." Natsu yelled.
"Uhh…Please open?"
The door rumbled and slid open.
"That worked?!"
"I guess you just have to ask nicely." Happy said.
We entered a larger room with the Zentopia symbol in the center. The door out closed behind us.
"We're stuck."
"Don't worry I've read enough books to know how to get out." Lucy said "We just turn this."
She spun the dial in the center and the walls started closing in.
"Oh nice job!" I yelled.
"Maybe the other way." Lucy tried to turn the dial but it sank into the floor.
"What'd we do?!"
I can just slip into my shadow but I can't bring the others with me. Those statues have noses…I wonder if.
"Climb in!" I yelled pulling them up the hole.
When the statues pulled back no one had gotten splattered.
"How do we get out?" Michelle asked.
"We just turn it the other way." Lucy said spinning the dial.
"You sure it's that easy." Natsu asked
This time the crushing was coming from above.
"Back in the noses." Natsu said.
"They're all plugged up!" Happy yelled.
"Someone think of something!"
"Is it time to be punished?"
"Virgo?!" Lucy gasped.
"Why are you wearing a swimsuit?" Romeo asked the maid.
"Do you dislike woman in swimsuits?" she asked.
"Just dig a hole in the floor!" Lucy yelled.
"Very well."
Again, a hole opened up and we fell down.
"Let's get a move on." Natsu said.
We wandered through the tomb but found nothing resembling a clock piece in the slightest.
"After what happened last time can we please not touch anything?" I warned loosening my tie.
"That just makes us want to do it." Lucy said.
Natsu proceeded to punch one of the statues in the face
"What are you doing?!" We all yelled.
"Sorry it looked like Gray…I couldn't help myself."
The ground started shaking.
"Something's coming." Happy warned.
"I knew this would happen." I grumbled.
"I guess it was smart of me to bust it." Natsu said.
A huge boulder rolled out into the room.
"Great job Natsu!"
"Fire Dragon Brilliant Flame!"
Natsu's attack didn't even scratch the rock so we had to run away even faster now.
"There's a bridge coming." Romeo said.
"There three " I pointed out.
"Which one?!"
"Right!" "Left!" "Middle!"
"Romeo pick one!" I yelled.
"Uhh…the middle!"
"Good enough!" I said running down the chosen path.
Halfway down the other two bridges collapsed.
"Romeo wins!" Happy yelled.
"Look!" Michelle yelled "There's another one coming!"
"What'd we do?!"
"We have to jump!" I yelled "We can swing the bridge and land after they fall off."
"Happy carry Lucy and Michelle." Natsu yelled.
"Michelle sure but Lucy no way."
"Shut it cat!"
We jumped the boulders but the bridge collapsed.
"Shadow Hook-shot!" I wrapped my shadow around a nearby pillar and hung on for dear life.
"Is everyone okay?" Lucy asked.
"Just a little sore."
"Looks like we'll have to work our way down." Natsu said.
When we got to the bottom we just found a bigger tomb.
"Can't Natsu just sniff this thing out?" Romeo asked.
"I can't find it. The smells too funky… I smell something."
"Something feels wrong." Lucy said shivering.
I looked up "We're not alone."
Coco was standing on the nearby cliff with a man in full armor.
This keeps getting more complicated.
Carole's POV
"Any one find a way in?"
"This looks like a door." Lyon said "I guess we should go inside."
The door came alive and started talking "You shall not pass."
"I guess we have to get passed the guardian." Gray and Lyon said taking their stance.
They each threw out an attack and nothing happened.
"Our magic has no effect?!"
It nullified the magic.
Juvia shot water in the watcher's eye and that seemed to weaken it.
"The door's opening." I pointed out.
"Excellent job Juvia." Lyon said.
"Can we just go inside?" Gray asked.
We entered this temple, and found some church ruins.
"Isn't that the Zentopia symbol?" Juvia asked.
"What are these strange blocks? They all have funny symbols." I said.
"Let's split up and look around."
We walked around but found nothing. But we did discover that hitting the rocks with magic power moved them.
"They must mean something." I mumbled.
"Will you two knock it off?! Get serious and figure out what to do with those rocks!" Gray yelled at Juvia and Lyon.
He's jealous.
"That emblem is wrong." I told them "It's sideways."
"It is." Juvia observed "Let's try this."
Juvia moved one of the stones to the holes on the side of the emblem.
"I see." Lyon said "Maybe turning the emblem will open the door."
We each put a stone in a hole and turned the switch.
"Nothing happened."
"Give it a second." Lyon said.
The symbol turned and corrected itself.
"Alright!"
"Good job Juvia." Gray congratulated.
A blinding light came out of the symbol and when we were able to see again we had been transported to an alternate plane full of those magic bricks.
"Where are we?" Juvia asked.
"Don't know…I'm not even sure how we got here"
"That thing was a teleporter." Lyon says.
"Are we supposed to move the stones again?" I asked "Maybe we have to pass through the arch ways."
"Let's make a path."
We moved the rocks and started making our way around the place.
"I'd love to hit the guy that came up with this nonsense."
"Oh boy!"
That dumb guy in the white polyester suit was on a rock not too far from us.
"It's Sugarboy."
"The one and only. Thanks for getting me in." he winked.
"GROSS!" I yelled.
"I take it he's the enemy." Lyon said.
"He must have followed us." I said getting ready to fight.
"I was just do'in my job. How about I give you all a real good show." He spun his arm around his fake microphone and that slime came out of his suit.
"Look out! Don't let it touch you!" I yelled running away.
Gray and I got away but Juvia and Lyon got caught in the goop.
"That stuff drains magic power." I told them.
"Once I freeze it I can shatter it." Gray said.
"Sugarboy's getting away." I called.
"Don't bother with us go after him." Lyon told Gray.
"Let's go! Come on Gray!" I yelled running after the man.
We chased after the blonde man and had to circle the whole ring.
"Slow down!"
"This way." Gray said pulling me back "If we circle around, we can catch him on the other side."
Sure enough backtracking had us meet with Sugarboy halfway around.
"It really worked."
"So you noticed this is one big loop." Sugarboy said "Impressive Ice-boy. I guess I'll have to get you off my back with force."
"I'll beat you just like I did in Edolas."
The two threw rock at each other and completed the ring causing the whole place to glow and make the clock piece appear.
"Is that it?"
"I think so." I told him "It's clock like."
Gray threw his shirt off "You won't be getting your hands on it."
He's so muscular…Gray's so handsome.
"What are you stripping for?!" Sugarboy asked.
"Because I'm getting ready."
"Whoa!" Sugarboy yelled "I don't know how to respond to that. What's this feeling?"
"Huh?!"
"I didn't realize you swung that way Gray; it'll break Miss Juvia's heart." I sighed.
"What is going on?!" Gray yelled.
"Get em doggies!" The slime came out and tried to swallow us.
"Carole move." Gray said.
I put my hands back "I can do this. Wax-Make: Dome!" I formed a catch basin out of wax and trapped the slime.
"Nice job. Ice-Make Floor!" Gray made us a path to the clock piece and we ran to it.
"I'm on fire baby!" The slime under Sugarboy turned orange and melted through my wax.
"Hey no fair!"
It was gonna be a close call to get to the piece first.
"Wax-Make: Twin Pistols!" I made two tiny handguns and shot them at the man's hands and covered them in a hard wax, making it impossible to stop Gray from getting the piece first.
When Gray grabbed the piece we were sucked back to our normal world.
"Just let go!" Gray yelled trying to pull the piece away from Sugarboy's feet.
A bunch of the goo came out and sucked up Gray and me causing us to lose our piece.
"It's all lukewarm!" I cried "Gray do something!"
"What are you two doing?!" Lyon yelled "I trained you better than that Carole! And you Gray, you'll bring disgrace to Ur's name! Same goes for you Carole; you are part of Ur's legacy to."
"This has nothing to do with Ur!" Gray yelled freeing us.
"Sorry Sensei!" I yelled.
"Attack him now!" Juvia yelled.
"Wax-Make: Rushing Ram!" I made a moving ram that slammed into Sugarboy along with the other's attacks.
"We'll be taking this with us." Gray said picking up the piece.
"My Achey-Breaky Heart…"
Gray just cringed at the man's pass at him.
