They walked through the rounded door to another room. It had spheres filled along the walls and four closed doors on each side. In the middle of the small room, there was small stairsteps to a diamond shaped slab with the Legion Platoon's symbol carved in. It was propped onto rectangular concrete.

Lucy looked around for a minute before snapping her fingers. "Oh this is easy!" She went up to the diamond and grabbed it by its two sides. "All we have to do is turn this and the doors will open." She frowned, having trouble with it at first.

"Or it'll set off a trap." Romeo mumbled.

"Nonsense, trust me Romeo. I know what I'm doing." Lucy grinned. She started to turn it slowly. To everyone's surprise, all four doors opened up just like Lucy said. She stopped turning the slab to grin condescendingly at Romeo. He only rolled his eyes and crossed his arms.

That's when four faces slid out of those doors and started getting closer. And the spheres planted in the walls were protruding out. Those faces were getting rapidly closer, they were going to crush them. "Good going Lucy!" Natsu yelled, punching one of the faces closest to him. Unfortunately, it seemed the face didn't even crack under his fist.

"Get in the nose!" Michelle yelled out. Everyone followed her orders and climbed inside the nostrils of the four faces. Each face touched each other before moving back, every member of team one falling out. They all stood up and glared at Lucy, but she paid no mind to them. She stood up and started to twist the slab the other way.

"Maybe I just did it wrong." She smiled sheepishly. Suddenly, the faces came out again, except every entrance to their face was closed off. The spheres on the wall even started to come down in top of them. Natsu turned to yell at Lucy, but she chose to just hide in Horologium.

"You better get out here, this is your problem too!" Natsu glared to Lucy. Lucy shook her head through the glass.

""No way, I'm not being crushed!" She says in fear." Horologium copied. Just then, Virgo popped out and laid across one of the heads. She gave the group a blank look.

"Punishment time, princess?"

"Ah, Virgo! Come help us and dig a hole or something." Happy smiled. Romeo shook his head and stared at Virgo. More so her attire.

"Why are you in a bikini."

"Do you not like it, master Romeo?" Romeo blushed bright and looked away from the celestial spirit. Natsu didn't notice a thing and decided to turn to Lucy. She looked stressed in Horologium and hugged her legs to her chest. He shook his head. Why did she even summon Virgo?

"Why'd you call out Virgo?"

""I didn't!" My lady says in aspiration." The clock spirit said. Virgo turned to Natsu and explained to everyone that she came to her own accord since Lucy was starting to lose a lot of magic power. Everyone nodded in understanding. Virgo's eyes suddenly glowed pink and she created a large hole to which everyone fell in. Lucy yelled as she tumbled with Horologium, him disappearing suddenly.

"Oh come on Horologium!" She screamed in fear as they kept falling. Natsu then grabbed her by the waist while he had Michelle on his other side. Lucy huffed, getting annoyed by that fact unexpectedly. They fell to the ground below them, Natsu using his body to cushion the blow. Lucy thanked him and stood up herself. Romeo seemed fine along Happy and Marie.

"Thanks a bunch Virgo." Lucy smiled softly. To Lucy's surprise, Virgo held out a whip to the blonde.

"Princess, I updated the fleuve d'étoiles, I'm sure it'll be to your liking." Lucy looked at it with a smile, but it was more a confused one than anything. She asked Virgo why it looked exactly the same. To which Virgo explained that she would find out what it did when she used it in action. Behind Lucy, Romeo and Happy snickered. Lucy didn't turn around to yell at them quite yet, wanting to hear what they were going to say.

"I wonder what she uses that whip for..." Romeo whispered to Happy.

"I have an idea." Happy made brief eye contact with Natsu, the pink haired mage just blinked at him in confusion. Seeing what Happy was suggesting, Lucy snapped her whip with a flustered expression. She turned to the two smaller mages and glared at them.

"Want to find out what I do with this?"

"S-Sadist!" Romeo shivered. They finally continued down the path and crossed multiple statues stacked up. Natsu had his hands on the back of his head while he walked. He groaned as they kept walking.

"There isn't a door anywhere!" He yelled out. Lucy nodded with him, her legs were starting to get tired but she didn't want to stop just yet. This place was creepy enough and she wanted to find the door quickly so she didn't have to stare at those ugly statues anymore. Happy and Marie played around by them. Happy even pointing out the big human shaped concrete.

"Woah look at these statues." He touched one, it moving back slightly before going back to its original state. Marie giggled and put a hand to her mouth.

"I actually think those are coffins." Michelle stated nonchalantly. Happy squealed, getting Marie to laugh harder. The white cat had already figured they were coffins. But Happy's ignorance was just too hard to pass up. They continued on their way until they stopped by a particular coffin. Natsu looked at it with a concentrated and angry look. Then he punched off the mask on the coffin.

"Natsu what the hell!" Lucy screeched in his ear. He pulled away from her and rubbed the back of his head. He grinned nervously.

"Sorry," he laughed. "It just looked so much like Gray's stupid face." Lucy's eye twitched and she sighed. Of course it looked like Gray. They then all heard a rumble, they looked up to a large rounded hole like hallway. "Maybe it was actually smart to punch that thing!" Lucy heard the sound get closer and suddenly felt very anxious.

She grabbed Natsu's hand and started to run the opposite way of the sound. "We have to go now!" Everyone ran the way the celestial dragon slayer did. Romeo looked behind him to see a gigantic ball rolling their way, about to crush them. He ran a hundred times faster, passed the others. "Romeo!" Lucy announced.

"Look behind you!" He told her. They all did as the fire mage told them and saw exactly what he did. They screamed and ran faster. That's when they came to three pathways hovering over a wide spread drop to Mavis knows what.

"Where do we go?" Marie and Michelle said simultaneously.

"I feel like only one of them is real." Michelle said nervously

"Right!" Natsu pointed.

"No, left!" Lucy countered.

"Maybe the middle?" Michelle suggested.

"Romeo you're the tie breaker!" They all looked to him to break the tie. He ran across to the middle path and waved for them to follow. While they ran, the two other paths crumbled away. The ball came after them faster. Marie scouted ahead and saw another rolling object come from the way they were running.

"Guys, in front of you!" They all saw what she did and stopped.

"No matter where we run, were still going to get crushed." Natsu grunted. He suddenly got an idea. "When they get closer, we all have to jump at the right time to avoid them. Romeo, hang onto me!"

"I can do it myself." The smaller mage grounded out. Natsu gave him a look before smiling.

"Suit yourself." Lucy grabbed onto Michelle and waited in anticipation before jumping. Just as each ball was about to collide with them, they jumped and avoided it. The two spheres crashed into each other and broke, also destroying the path they were supposed to run on. Gravity took over, bringing them all down to the inevitable below them. Natsu used his fire as a rope to grab onto a pillar. "Romeo, use your fire"

"Got it" He copied what Natsu did and swung along with him. They let their fire disappear when they saw the pillar get closer. Crashing into it, they felt their mind swarm from hitting it. Lucy on the other hand, had Michelle grab Happy and Marie as they were hit and knocked our cold with the rocks. Lucy grabbed her whip from her belt and unfolded it.

"Let's see what you can do!" She yelled out. Her whip grabbed onto another pillar and she tied it around. She shimmied down the rock and looked up to see Natsu and Romeo still onto their own rock. She furrowed her brows when they just sat there. "You guys okay?" She asked.

Their faces were smashed pretty hard into the rock, getting them dazed. "That wasn't a good idea." Natsu mumbled. Romeo just nodded with him. Eventually, they were all able to climb down and land safely on the ground. The area around them was covered in candles.

"We must be at the Cathedral." Michelle noted. Lucy clenched her fists and smiled along with Natsu and romeo.

"Now we just have to find the piece!" She laughed happily. They were finally safe enough to go and find the clock gear without anymore traps hopefully. They stocked through the place, wanting to find the clock. Lucy then noticed a pile of skulls and felt a shiver climb up her spine. 'This place sure is creepy' she thought with a shake. Natsu sniffed the air and looked up with a blank stare.

"I can't get a good lead on where it could be. It's like my senses are going haywire." He then smelled something, or rather someone. His expression darkened and he felt his teeth bare. Not this guy. A foot planted down above them, gaining their attention.

"It couldn't be, is that my Loopy pie?!" The blonde celestial mage gasped and stepped behind Michelle. She hoped for the life of her that he didn't see her. Next to the Platoon member, Dan, was Coco. She just shook her head at Dan's antics.

"They're our enemy, Dan. You can't date her." He ignored her completely and jumped down to get a better look at Lucy.

"I assume you all are looking for the clock piece?"

"What's it to you?" Natsu scoffed.

"It seems you sorry losers haven't found it either. We've been looking for it for some time now." Coco sighed. Dan then noticed Lucy once more and smiled brightly. Lucy tried to contort her body so that she couldn't ben seen behind Michelle. It seemed that he saw her anyway. She shivered in disgust.

"My LuLu-chan! Darling!"

"Don't ever call me that again!"

"It was destiny that I found you again, unavoidable destiny!" Lucy groaned and stayed firm behind her friend. Though he was annoying, he wasn't exactly hurting anyone at the moment so she couldn't just go and punch the guy. You can't choose who you fall in love with, so she understood his feelings. But that doesn't mean she doesn't think he's an absolute creep. Happy snickered and looked at Lucy with his paws over his mouth.

"At least someone finally fell in love with you."

"Shut it cat!"

"How lively." Michelle stated with a small smile while she looked at Dan. He swooned and leaned closer to Lucy.

"It was the red string of fate!"

"How about I grab that string and wrap it around your throat!"

"L.O.V.E." Suddenly, fire was projected on Dan, but he blocked it before it came close to him. Natsu flipped back and breathed a fire attack, to which the man wielding the shield blocked.

"Don't you understand!? We haven't settled the score!"

"Don't get in the way of our Love!" Dan hollered.

"Lucy is mine anyway so back off!" Natsu shouted.
