Chapter 4: We're Back!

"Talking"

'Thinking'

Attack

"WHERE THE HELL ARE WE?!" Kurosaki yelled. After they accidentally destroyed Clover Town, they walked back to Fairy Tail, that is if they hadn't got lost.

"Ask the genius who thought that following Natsu was a good idea!" Answered Kizami.

"Don't blame me!" Yelled Natsu. "Happy said he knew the way back!"

"Lucy forced me to say that!" Happy lied trying to save himself.

"No I didn't you stupid cat!" Yelled Lucy.

"SHUT UP!" Yelled Erza, making the others immediately get quiet.

"I know you're all tired, we've been walking for two days now, but just keep it up until we reach Magnolia" Master said.

"But where are we?" Kurosaki asked looking at the innumerable giant cracks in the floor.

"I think we are in Web Valley." Answered Master. "It's known for the fact that a great number of people have got lost here. And never returned." He said starting to scare Lucy.

"I'm starving." Natsu said.

"Don't remind me! That only makes me hungrier!" Gray said.

"But I'm hungry and that's that!" Natsu said now standing face to face with Gray.

"Then stop talking about it constantly!" Said Gray.

"Indeed!" Master said. "I'm hungry." He whined.

"Not you to!" Both Natsu and Gray yelled.

"Enough." Ordered Erza before her growled. After hearing that everyone just stood there looking at her except for Kurosaki who was laughing his ass off.

"Sounds like your stomach went "gu" just now. It went "gu"" Natsu said stunned.

"It didn't. Your imagine things." Erza said.

"Amazing cover up there." Gray said.

"Will you shut up and stop laughing!" Kizami yelled at Kurosaki.

"But…" He was about to answer but sensed Erza glaring at the back of his head. "Ok…" He said in a defeated tone.

"YEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSS!" They all heard Happy scream in excitement.

"What are you so excited about?" Natsu asked.

"Look at that!" He said making everyone loot down the cliff.

"I can fly!" "You can fly!" "Can you fly?" Said a number of fishes that were flying.

"That's the legendary delicacy, the Winged Fish!" Happy said in excitement. "They're super delicious!"

"Am I the only one who that noticed that the fishes were talking?" Kizami asked, but no one paid attention to him.

"A legendary delicacy?" Gray asked.

"The Winged Fish…" Erza said.

"Sounds delicious!" Natsu said.

"Kizami hand me your sword." Kurosaki said. "I'll tie a rope to it and harpoon them right away!"

"Will you stop asking for my sword for stupid shit like that?!" Kizami yelled.

"Good work finding them, Happy!" Master said putting a hand over Happy's shoulder.

"You're all way too hungry…" Lucy said before her stomach growled.

"And so are you." Teased Gray.

"Aye…" She answered.

"Alright! Let's go fishing!" Happy said while holding a fishing pole.

"Where did he get that from?" Kizami asked.

A few minutes later they were all siting on the edge of the cliff trying to catch some of the fish.

"Damn. Just when you think you caught one, it's gone." Natsu said.

"I'm going to do my best!" Happy said with determination in his voice.

"Somehow, they don't look that delicious to me…" Lucy said.

"I'm sure they'll be more appealing after cooked." Said Kizami.

"Shut up and fish. It doesn't matter if they're good as long as they are edible." Erza said still focused on fishing.

"Y-You-re that hungry?!" Yelled Lucy.

"Don't underestimate Erza when she's hungry." Kurosaki said embarrassing Erza.

"S-Shut up!" Erza yelled.

"I want to eat a winged fish! They look delicious!" Happy yelled. "They're a legendary delicacy!"

A few seconds later.

"I gave up." Happy said.

"What about you're will power?!" Lucy asked.

"But I didn't even catch one…" Happy said looking down.

"You're hungry, right? Then, keep trying your best." Lucy said trying to encourage him. "Don't give up, Ok?"

"Lucy, you meanie!" Happy cried out while running away from Lucy.

"Eh?! But I was encouraging you."

"Hey Happy! Can't you fly after the fishes?" Kurosaki asked while fishing.

"To hungry." Happy said with a carefree tone.

"Then why don't you do it?" Kizami asked while also fishing.

"To hungry." Kurosaki answered with a carefree tone like Happy.

"THEN DON'T ASK!" Yelled Kizami.

A few minutes later.

"That was though." Lucy said looking at the only fish they caught.

"In the end we only got one." Erza said before Natsu cooked the fish with his flames.

"Happy you eat it." Natsu said.

"But I can't just eat it by myself." Happy said.

"If we divided it would make us hungrier." Kizami said.

"Don't hold back! Eat!" Said Master.

"You better eat it before I do!" Kurosaki said.

"Alright! Then let's ear!" Happy said with stars in his eyes before eating the fish. He ate the fish while everyone's stomachs were growling. "Disgusting!" He yelled.

An hour later.

After failing to fill their stomachs they continued walking trying to find a way back to Magnolia. They continued walking until they reached a village.

"A village." Erza said.

"Then there must be…" Happy started to say.

"Food!" Natsu yelled as he and the others started to run to the village. Only to stop when they notice that the village was completely empty.

"Where's everybody?" Kurosaki asked looking around.

"It's too quiet for a village." Kizami said while also looking around.

"Maybe they're all taking an afternoon nap." Natsu said. "Hey! Is anyone here?"

"Are they really taking a nap?" Gray asked.

"Or perhaps the whole town got drunk and now they're all passed out?" Said Master.

"That's Fairy Tail." Kurosaki said.

"There too!" Master said while laughing.

"Something is wrong here." Kurosaki said but was ignored because Natsu started to run to a house.

"This is annoying!" He yelled. "As long as I get my strength back I'll eat anything!" He said while running.

"Hey! You're not planning to rob the place are you?" Gray asked while also running next to him.

"You had the same idea, didn't you?" Natsu said still running to a house. "Hey! Is anyone in there?" He asked while knocking on a door. "Give us something to eat!"

Natsu kept banging on the door until he noticed that the door was unlocked and he opened it.

"There's no one here." Gray said as they walked inside the house, the thing they immediately saw was a table with food.

"Who cares let's eat!" Natsu said coming closer to the table and grabbing a piece of breath and smell it to see if it was good. "Alright! It's still good."He said preparing to take a bite.

"Wait!" Erza said walking closer to the table.

"Why?" Natsu whined.

"Something's strange." Erza said.

"She's right." Kizami said. "It looks like they were just eating." Kizami said.

"Where did the people in this house disappear to?" Kurosaki said.

"How should I know?" Asked Natsu.

"It was a rhetorical question." Kurosaki said.

"Rheto-what?"

"Forget it."

"Anyway let's eat." Natsu said preparing to take a bite.

"I said wait!" Erza said giving one of her famous glares to Natsu.

"A-AYE!" Natsu yelled scared by Erza.

"We must first investigate this village." Erza said. "You've hold until now, so hold a little longer." She said before her stomach started to growl, making everyone just stand there looking at her, exept for Kurosaki who was laughing his ass off again.

"Erza, your stomach is telling something else." Lucy said, while Erza's stomach continued to growl.

"Not convincing at all." Master said.

"You guys go look for mushrooms or something! Don't touch the food in the village!" She orderd while her stomach was still growling. "Master and I will look at what's happening in this village!"

"Why mushrooms?" Lucy asked but no one answered her.

In the forest near the Village.

"Yay they look delicious" Natsu yelled before filling his mouth with mushrooms. "I think I can fill my strength if I eat a lot of them." He said getting up with both his arms and mouth filled with mushrooms.

"Then hurry up and pick them." Gray said while eating some mushrooms to.

Then Natsu started holding his neck as if he was shocking. "Natsu! Are you alright?" She asked before a mushroom grew on Natsu's head.

"What a shock!" Natsu said.

"I'm the one who's surprised!" Lucy yelled.

"What's all this fuss about?" Gray asked coming closer to them and standing next to Natsu.

"Your heads. Look at your heads." Lucy said making Natsu and Gray look at each other.

"What the hell is on up with that mushroom?" Natsu said while laughing.

"You're one to talk! Look at that massive thing in your head!" Gray said.

"Why aren't they worried about themselves…?" Lucy asked.

"Hey, where you just laughing at me?" Natsu asked.

"And you were smirking like a stupid idiot." Gray responded before he and Natsu started fighting.

"Don't fight while having mushrooms growing on your head!" Lucy yelled.

"Lucy! I found a really big one!" Happy said while caring a mushroom almost his size.

"Let me see. Wow, it's huge!" Natsu said coming closer to Happy.

"That would give us enough food for two days!" Gray said.

"Why don't you two do something about the mushrooms on your head." Lucy said before Happy took a bite from the mushroom. "Happy! Don't! It could be poisonous! Spit it out!" Lucy said while shaking Happy.

"But it's delicious." Happy said before a mushroom grew in his head.

"I guess everyone ends up like that." Natsu said.

"I wonder how the villagers ate them." Gray said.

"It's not fun the second time!" Happy said running away.

"What's with all the noise here?" Kurosaki asked coming closer to them, while eating a mushroom. "There are a lot of mushrooms here." He said looking around before noticing Natsu and Gray. "What the hell is on your guys head?! You guys look ridiculous!" He said while laughing hard. Natsu and the others just stood there looking at Kurosaki who stopped laughing. "What are you guys looking at? Is something wro-I have a mushroom in my head don't I?"

"Yup." Natsu said.

"God Dammit! Kizami! I need your sword!" Kurosaki yelled walking back to where he came from followed by Natsu and the others.

"I told you, I'm not giving you my… Why do you guys have a mushroom in your heads?" Kizami asked when he noticed that Kurosaki, Natsu, Gray and Happy had a mushroom growing on their heads.

"It doesn't matter. Just give me your sword to cut it off." Kurosaki said trying to grab Kizami sword.

"No!" Kizami said slapping his hand away. "If you want, I'll cut it for you." Kizami said unsheathing his sword.

"WAIT WHAT?!" Kurosaki yelled before ducking, managing to avoid Kizami's sword that he swung horizontally. "YOU ALMOST CUT MY HEAD OFF!"

"Tsk, I missed." Kizami said.

"YOU WERE AMING FOR MY HEAD?!"

"Wait a minute. I think the mushrooms have gowned!" Lucy said.

"Is anyone hearing that sound?" Kizami asked when he heard a sound that came from the village. After that the mushrooms that were on their heads started to glow and fell off.

"Your mushrooms are gone!" Happy said.

"Happy, you're the only one who still has one." Lucy said to Happy.

"I don't know what's happening, but we better see if Erza and Master are alright." Kurosaki said before he and the others started to run back to the village.

At the village a few minutes earlier.

"So?" Erza asked as she and Makarov were now at the center of the village.

"As we thought, nobody's here." Master said. "This village is deserted.

"Despite everything, there's proof that people recently lived here." Erza said before noticing a gap on the ground. "What's this gap? This isn't a normal gap between the rocks. It looks like it has some purpose."

They followed the gap until they reached a part where another gap crossed the one they were following.

"There's another gap here." Erza said before a noise was being heard through the entire village. " What?" A while later after the sound came the gaps started to glow red.

"Is everything alright here?" Kurosaki said when he and the others arrived.

"W-What's going on here?!" Lucy yelled when the building started to glow red and to move.

"It's the first time I'm seeing a wavy house." Happy said.

"That's what you're focused on!"

"Let's climb to the top. I want to check something out." Master said before he and the others walked to a cliff near the village where they saw the village buildings turn into what looked like to be tentacles and snake like monsters.

"What the hell?!" Kurosaki shouted.

"Master, that was a magic circle!" Erza said.

"Yeah, all those gaps were part of a magic circle." Explained Makarov. "And that magic circle was the trigger to activate the banned sealing magic, Alive!"

"Alive?" Lucy asked.

"Look closer, as you can see it's a magic that turns inanimate objects into living moving creatures." Master said. "The people of this village unleashed this forbidden magic and probably ended as food for these monsters."

"Why would they do something that dangerous?" Lucy asked.

"This is the village of a Dark Guild." Erza said.

"Say what?" Kurosaki asked.

"When we were looking around the village, I found a set of magical tools. And none of them was meant for good intensions." Erza said.

"They were probably plotting an evil conspiracy and gotten themselves in to it." Master said. "However! Their despair is our happiness."

"What are you talking about Gramps?" Natsu said.

"I told you these things are alive right?" Master asked. "If they're alive… We can eat them!" He yelled repulsing Lucy and making the others start grinning.

"Well then, let's eat!" Natsu yelled.

"AYE! Time to eat!" Happy said, with a mushroom still on his head.

"Under these situations we can't be picky about taste!" Yelled Gray before Erza jumped of the cliff towards the monsters.

"EH! Erza your that hungry?!" Lucy asked after Erza jumped off.

"Food!" Yelled Natsu as he, Gray, Kizami, Kurosaki and Happy jumped of the cliff.

"H-Hey!"

"Don't forget to save some for me!" Said Makarov.

"Hey assholes! Do you have any idea who your messing with?" Natsu asked before attacking the monster and burring it with some of the rocks from a cliff.

"We shouldn't eat desert before the meal but whatever." Gray said before freezing the monster.

"Erza!" Called Lucy as she came closer to Erza.

"Stand back." Warned Erza. "It's time to cook."

"C-Cooking?"

"Ex-Quip!" Erza said before she started to glow and change armor, when the light faded Erza was standing there with an apron and a chef hat and was surrounded by a lot of cooking utensils, and looked like she was wearing an one-piece swimming suit under the apron.

"Close your mouth before you start drooling." Kizami said to Kurosaki who was staring with an open mouth at Erza.

In the meantime Erza was cutting creature after creature, and when she was done, the only thing left was a pile of bars that once were those monsters.

"Time to eat!" Natsu said as he rips a piece of a tentacle and took a bite.

"Lucy, you taste first." Erza said.

"No thank you!"

"Well then." Erza said as she grabbed one of the bars and took a bite of it.

"How does it taste?" Lucy asked but Erza didn't answer and gave one of them to Lucy.

"I think it's time to try a piece." Gray said before he took a bite of a piece of ice with some of the monster in it.

"Hey, Kizami."

"What?"

"How long do you think it will take them to notice it?" Kurosaki asked.

"Any second now." Kizami said.

"DISGUSTING!" Was heard coming from Natsu, Gray and Lucy.

"There it is." Kurosaki said while grinning as he and Kizami head back to where Master was and the other did the same.

"What the hell! I can't eat this!" Natsu yelled.

"It's just too disgusting!" Gray yelled.

"Yeah, it isn't something you consider as edible." Erza said.

"Don't say that after you ordered to me to eat it!" Whined Lucy.

"Yeah… Those things taste horrible. That's why we didn't eat one." Kurosaki said.

"YOU KNEW?!" Yelled Lucy.

"We did the same thing while we were on our mission." Kizami said.

Lucy was filling the urge to punch them in the faces but was interrupted when Happy, who was riding a living chair, crashed against a wall, causing Happy's head mushroom to fall.

"Your mushroom fell off." Gray said.

"We can't eat this even if we're starving." Erza said. "I guess this is what we get for trying to eat monsters in the first place."

A while later the ground started to shake, and more of those monster started to appear and broke the piece of ground that group was standing on, making them fall.

A few hours later.

"I'm starving…" Kurosaki whined.

"We all are, so shut up." Kizami said.

"I have no idea what happened at all." Lucy said.

"Master." Erza said.

"What?"

"I don't accept the explanation you gave us earlier."

A few hours earlier.

"So you were the one who did this?" Natsu asked to a group of people who were sitting on the ground in front of them. "What did you do?"

"We created the magic circle and then those monsters appeared." One of the villagers said. "We were all subjects of Take-Over."

"So you were all inside those monsters?" Erza asked.

"What?! And I ate some of it!" Said Lucy with a disgust look on her face.

"Now I'm really happy I didn't eat any of them." Kurosaki said.

"That makes two of us." Kizami said while standing next to Kurosaki.

"When you outsider entered the village the magic circle was activated." One of the villagers said.

"That magic circle is no longer active." Makarov said.

"Why old man?" Natsu asked.

"Don't mind the details." He said.

'He must have dispelled it somehow.' Kurosaki thought.

"In any case, you all should be happy that the Take-Over has been undone." Master said.

Back to the present.

"I thought that when we fell, we triggered a switch that caused the magic circle to destroy itself." Erza said. "But then Master, in an instant you saved us and undid the Take-Over on the members of the Dark Guild. And then erased the magical circle itself. Isn't that right?"

"Could be…" Master said. "But in any case…"

"We're starving!"

"By the way Master." Kizami said gaining Makarov's attention.

"What?" Master asked.

"Two years ago, while we were at the mission we decided to take a day off and we went to a village close by." Kizami said. "And we heard a rumor that involved Fairy Tail."

"What might it be?"

"Is it true…? Did Lisanna really die?" Kizami asked making both Master and Erza stop in their tracks, Natsu, Gray, Lucy and Happy were ahead so they didn't hear Kizami.

"Y-Yes…" Master said. "She and the other Strauss were doing an S-Class job that involved a dangerous beast and they were helping evacuating a town, the beast was on a rampage, Mira was hurt so Elfman tried to possess his soul… But it failed, he was able to get its soul but couldn't control it. He turned against them and Lisanna stood in his way trying to make him regain his senses, but couldn't and ended up dead." He said making both Kizami and Kurosaki walk without saying a word for a while because they hoped that it was just a rumor what they heard and not the true.

A few hours later.

The group managed to find a town and they boarded a train to Magnolia, much to Natsu's horror. Kurosaki, Kizami, Erza, and Master sat together while the others set together. At the train station Kizami decided to buy one of the Sorcerer Weekly to read during the trip.

"WHAT THE HELL?!" Kizami suddenly yelled spooking the people sitting next to him.

"What's the matter with you?!" Kurosaki yelled. "You almost gave me an heart attack!"

"Look at this!" Kizami yelled showing Kurosaki the magazine.

"Is that Mira?!" Kurosaki yelled. "Why is she posing in a bikini?!"

"Oh! Mira became the Guilds cover girl a little more than a year ago." Master said.

"WHAT?!" Both Kizami and Kurosaki yelled.

"I never thought that Mira would do that." Kurosaki said. "What about you Kizami?" Kurosaki asked but didn't get a response. "Kizami?" Kurosaki asked again this time waving his hand in front of Kizami's face. "I think he froze."

Five hours later.

"FInnaly!" Natsu yelled. It was now late in the afternoon and the group finally arrived at the town of Magnolia.

"It hasn't changed a bit!" Kurosaki said.

"Well, let's go." Master said as he started to walk. "I bet that everyone is going to enjoy seeing you two."

In the Guild.

"Hey Mira! What to have dinner with me?" Wakaba asked.

"But Wakaba." Mira said. "Aren't you married?" She said transforming her face.

"Don't transform in to my wife!" Wakaba yelled making Mira starting to giggle and walk back to behind the counter. When she reached there she grabbed the necklace that Kizami asked her to take care of while he was gone in his mission, and started to think about him. 'Please come back soon, Kizami.' She was lost in thought for a while until the doors were kicked open.

"We're back!" Natsu yelled after he kicked open the doors.

"Welcome back." Mira said from behind the counter.

"Sorry we're late." Master said. "We got lost on our way back. Good thing is that we found two people who you guys might like to see." Master said jumping to the counter top.

"Who?" Mira asked.

"This place hasn't changed a bit." Kurosaki said walking in the Guild along with Kizami.

"It sure hasn't." Kizami said. After they crossed the Guild doors, almost every Guild member froze looking at them, they stood still for o few seconds before erupting in cheers and started to make their way to them, but no one was faster than a certain white haired girl, who, the minute she got closer to them tackled Kizami to the ground.

"M-Mira?!" Kizami said while lying on the ground with Mira on top of him.

'Lucky bastard.' Kurosaki thought, along with some of the male guild members.

"You're finally back!" Mira said with some tears in her eyes.

"I'm here too you know…" Kurosaki said but was ignored.

"Leave them." Erza said standing next to Kurosaki. "She really missed him while you guys were gone."

"Now everyone. Let's party!" Master said while standing on top of the bar counter and holding a beer cup.

"Kurosaki! Fight me!" Natsu yelled.

"You already challenged Erza you idiot!" Gray yelled.

"I can fight them both!" Replied Natsu, but was soon on the ground when Kurosaki punched him.

"Kurosaki wins!" Yelled Happy making most of the Guild members start laughing.

A few hours later

It's been a few hours since Kurosaki and the others returned and now Kurosaki was sitting at a table along with Kizami and Erza.

"Excuse me, Kizami." Mira said coming closer to Kizami. "Can you help me bring some things from the storage?"

"Sure." Kizami said standing up, Mira started walking away and Kizami would have done the same but was interrupted by Kurosaki.

"Wait Kizami. You might need this." Kurosaki said giving Kizami something.

"What?" Kizami asked before receiving what Kurosaki gave him, when he looked at his hand he saw a condom. "WHAT THE HELL?!"

"I don't want little kids walking around calling me Uncle Kuro just yet." Kurosaki said.

"WHERE THE HELL DID YOU GET THIS?!"

"I found it on the ground on our way here." Kurosaki answered.

"Will you stop picking random things from the ground?!" Yelled Kizami, while throwing the condom at a random direction. "I'm not going to need that!" He said walking to the storage.

Almost an hour later.

"What's taking them so long?" Kurosaki asked.

"I don't know." Answered Erza, with a flustered look on her face. 'Dammit Mira! I thought you were only joking when you said that you would do that when Kizami got back.'

"I know right." Cana said sitting at the same table as them. "I've been waiting for a new barrel of beer for almost an hour now!"

"I'll see what's taking them so long." Kurosaki said standing up and making his way to the storage.

Kurosaki was walking towards the storage while avoiding flying chairs that were being thrown. He finally reached the storage and when he opened the door he was shocked to see both Mira and Kizami naked, with Mira leaning against a wall and Kizami behind her. 'WHAT THE FUCK?!' Kurosaki thought. Kurosaki stood frozen in spot not knowing what to do in these situations. It took a while but Mira looked back and saw Kurosaki standing at the door.

"K-KUROSAKI?!" Mira yelled.

"WHAT?!" Kizami yelled when he heard her and immediately looked back at the door. "How long have you been standing there?!"

"Almost five minutes now."

"WHAT?!" Both Mira and Kizami yelled.

"Don't worry I won't tell anyone, I'll just grab a barrel and leave." Kurosaki said while lifting a barrel and leaving. He left the storage and when he closed the door he heard the door being looked from the inside. "Now you remember to lock the door." He said making his way to the table. "Here you go Cana."

"You're a life saver!" Cana said grabbing the barrel and making her way back to the bar counter.

"What took you so long?" Erza asked.

"I saw something…" Kurosaki said.

"What?" Erza asked, Kurosaki didn't answer, he only got closer to Erza's era and whispered hat he saw. "I didn't think she would really do it."

"What do you mean?"

"Mira said that she would do that to Kizami when you guys got back." Erza said.

"Well… I'm happy for them, but I'm still a little pissed with Kizami." Kurosaki said.

"Why?" Erza asked. 'Don't tell me he also liked Mira.'

"He lied to me!" Kurosaki said. "He said he wouldn't need the condom!"

"That's why you're pissed!"

The next day.

Everyone was standing at the front of the Guild to see the fight between Erza and Natsu. They started to fight but were interrupted when a frog person appeared and ordered them to stop.

"Erza Scarlet." The frog person said. "You are under arrest for the destruction of Clover Town."

"WHAT?!" Yelled everyone around.

"She didn't destroy the town!" Kurosaki said walking closer to them. "It was me and Kizami. More Kizami than me of course."

"FUCK YOU!" Kizami yelled.

"I have orders to bring Miss Scarlet to be judged by the Council." The Frog person said.

"Fine, but I'm coming to." Kurosaki said. "Make sure Natsu doesn't do anything stupid." He whispered while walking past Kizami so that he could be the only one to hear.

"Alright." Kizami said.

The next thing everybody saw was Erza walking away along with Kurosaki to the Council.

End of Chapter 4
