Chapter 19: Conflicts in Kyoroch
Seryu was in an area playing kick ball with some kids.
"Over here!" A boy called as he kicked the ball.
Seryu kicked back. "Alright!"
The kids began to play kick ball while giggling and smiling together.
Seryu gazed cutely at the children. "(Playing with those kids is relaxing, they haven't been tainted with evil.)"
She then raised her arm. "Okay, next round!"
Koro barked excitedly along with the kids.
Suzuka and wave were watching.
"To think someone like her could smile." The last Rakshara Demon commented.
"Yeah, she felt stressed out so the boss gave her this chance." Wave said as he looked at the black pony tailed woman. "Anyway, are you part of our team now?"
Suzuka put her finger under her chin. "Well, that but I would like to take some orders from Esdeath." She began to giggle quietly in a creepy way.
This creeped out Wave. "(Strange, she reminds me of Dr Stylish.)"
Meanwhile in the hidden lab.
Lamy appeared from the container along with Rachena. "Oh oh, oh, where are we?"
Rachena opened her eyes. "Ugh, I must've been sleeping or something."
The two female Demons looked to see their kind looking at them.
Lamy was surprised. "How brilliant, some Tartaros Demons are still around, but are we still in Earthland?"
Saki and the others began to explain for awhile.
Lamy and Rachena were surprised. "We're in another world."
"Yes, from what my group and I learned, this world has a Empire has been corrupted."
Lamy was puzzled. "Corrupted?"
The Thunder Demon Saki explained about what she and her group learned.
Rachena giggled amusingly. "Sounds like humans here are just as crazy as the ones in Earthland."
"Ha, ha, ha, yes." Lamy agreed as she put her fist on her forehead. "Humans can be more aggressive now and then but here its got more darkness."
"Anyway, here are my orders, Lamy, Kay, Rachena you three will stay with me to work on another Hellscore." Saki explained as she took out a two paper sheets. "Thanks to the info King Mard Geer left me, we should be able to create another one."
"Ha, ha, ha, Let's work on it then!" Lamy giggled excitedly.
"Yes lady Saki." Kay bowed.
The Thunder Demon turned to the rest of her comrades. "Goliath, Fang, Poison Ivy, Leon and Bani, you four will head the Kyoroch to cause some destruction, but be careful not to let anyone see you yet, if you guys encounter Night Raid including Gray or those Jaegers kill them but not too fast, play with them like the Nine Demon Gate would."
"Yes, lady Saki!" The five demons saluted.
Esdeath was talking with her team in a room. "Listen, tonight, we'll be searching around for any Night Raid members, if you encounter one then kill however bring Gray to me alive."
"ROGER!" Her team proclaimed.
Saki turned to Lamy. "Also, I have two more values that contain two more DNA Samples of two falling Demons."
Rachena smiled. "Cool, what Demon's blood is that though?"
"Snapper the Piranha Demon and Seilah." Saki replied.
"No way, Seilah, that means one of the..." Kay began to say.
"Nine Demon Gates will be revived." Saki finished. "Then this Empire will be ours then we can focus on the Fairy Tail Wizard that's here!"
Her other Demon comrades started to laugh madly.
Gajeel was walking with Taran and Levy in the backstreets at night.
"Sounds like, this place is deserted at night." Taran said looking around the booths.
"No joke, considering the shops are usually open in the day." Gajeel added.
"Anyway, we must keep on guard to make sure if any of the Jaegers or the last Rakshara Demon shows up." Levy said cautiously.
Run was watching from the building roof and flew towards them.
Gajeel quickly hearing this. "WATCH OUT!"
Run fired his feathers just as the Iron Dragon Slayer pushed his friends down to the ground.
"How did he hear me?" the blonde man asked.
"So you must the Jaeger Run, right?" Gajeel asked getting up.
Run's stare confirmed the man's question.
"We heard that you work under that psycho woman Esdeath." Taran said giving off glare at the blonde.
"To think a nice man, like you works for such a woman like her." Levy commented.
"I didn't come here to get a lecture, I came here to rid of you Night Raid assassins!" Run proclaimed as he fired more of his feathers.
Taran put her hands straight out. "PSYCHIC BARRIER!"
A barrier made of psychic energy covered her and her friends blocking the feathers.
Run was disbelief at his feathers begin blocked. "Crap, that's some barrier."
"SOLID SCRIPT: BULLET!" Levy declared as the word bullet appeared mid-air and energy bullets were fired from the giant word.
Run dodged them with ease but part of his wings were damaged slightly. "Ugh, I'm hit."
"IRON DRAGON'S CLUB!"
Gajeel's arm transformed into an iron like pole which punched Run in the stomach.
"GRAVITY FORCE!" Taran motioned her hand up where Run was flying while trying to keep his balance steady then her hand motioned down.
Run was sent down to the ground forcefully.
"SOLID SCRIPT: FIRE!" The word Fire appeared in mid-air and flames of fire was fired from the word.
Run flew up but part of his wings were burned slightly which made his flying ability more difficult. "Ugh, these guys are strong."
"Listen blonde, why is someone like you doing with the Jaegers, you should know that the Empire is corrupted." Gajeel said.
Run didn't look at the Iron Dragon Slayer but he decided to talk. "I'm aware, to be honest I joined the Jaegers so I can change the Empire within, without violence or blood spills, in other words this rebellion is wrong including Night Raid's ways, so I won't let them do such actions in the name OF REVOLUTION!"
Gajeel swung his arm and smashed his fist against a building's wall which left a huge hole. "You think you can change that empire within, THAT'S BULL CRAP!"
Hearing that got Run to look at the Iron Dragon slayer.
Taran had to agree. "He's right, you know as well as we do that your plan is impossible!"
"What do you mean?" Run asked looking confused.
"You can try your plan, but people will still be killed!" Gajeel answered. "Also, General Esdeath, the Minister, and Budo only care for war and destruction, do you really think they can see your way?"
Run hissed at the question.
"The only thing you're going to accomplish is getting your head cut off that includes anyone that goes with your plan!" Levy stated.
Run's eyes widened in surprise.
"That's right, you just don't admit that of the violence and bloodshed caused by this rebellion!" Taran pointed out.
Hearing the Psychic Wizard's words suddenly struck a nerve to Run. "SHUT UP!"
Taran raised her arms out. "PSYCHIC BARRIER!" One again Run's feathers were blocked.
"Then tell us, why are you working with the Empire in the first place, I mean is there another reason why?" Levy asked.
Run flew up with his arms crossed. "I suppose I can tell you."
The blonde Jaeger man then gazed up at the sky.
"Back then I was a teacher in village near Joyou in a central of the Empire, I was teacher and had such quick learning students, they were always smiling and wanted to learn, I hoped to see them grow in a bright future." Run said smiling.
Images of students and their smiles came to his head."
"Oh, you must've been a great teacher." Levy commented. "I read a lot books."
Run faintly smiled but then he had a cold stare..
"Yes, however that time of happiness didn't last, sometime ago I went away on a trip, then when I returned to my school..." Run's head was then filling of images of his students in the classroom laying dead with a horrified look on his face. "I found out that my students were murdered, all of them gone, I tried to get the Joyou officials to help, but because of the village's reputation of being the safe peaceful outskirt village, they swept the entire incident under the rug."
Gajeel, Levy, and Taran were shocked at what they were hearing.
Run gritted his teeth. "Such violence that happened will stop, but..."
"Hold on, was changing the Empire within your only choice?" Gajeel interrupted.
Run narrowed his eyes at the wizards. "No, I had two, 1st was to join the Revolution or join the Empire to change it within."
"So you joined the Empire which was your choice." Levy guessed with the blonde angel nodded confirming her guess. "That's right, therefore I won't let any such violence like what Night Raid is causing to happen anymore!"
He fired his feathers but Taran blocked the attack with her Psychic Barrier. "I think know what you really mean."
Hearing that got Run to look at black haired wizard. "What are you talking about?"
"I think you're just scared to cause any violence which is cruel and you're right, however it seems you're missing the big picture!" Taran shouted pointing at the blonde.
Levy agreed to her statement. "Yeah, you don't seem to realize that how badly the Empire is corrupted, like we said if you try to change to Empire within people would still be killed but mostly your leader Esdeath, Budo and the Minister won't like your idea, if they find out your opposing them, you could get executed on the spot including anyone that goes with your plan!"
Run gritted his teeth.
Gajeel then gave the winged man a cold stare. "I guess in a way, such violence must bring a horrible memory of your students death."
Run decided he heard enough. "SHUT UP!" He fired his feathers again.
"Psychic Barrier!" Taran used her barrier to block his attacks again.
Run gritted his teeth. "No matter as I have my Trump card, I can reflect any direct attacks back at you!"
Gajeel grinned. "Thanks for the tip."
Taran knew what he was getting at. "GRAVITY FORCE!"
Run realized he being forced down to the ground on his knees "What just happened?!"
"IRON DRAGON'S CLUB!"
Gajeel's arm was now a iron pole club which punched the blonde man in the stomach causing him to groan in pain and made him crash into a booth. "Heh, is that you got?"
Run was standing up but was groaning in pain, his clothes were slightly torn, his face was bruised and scraped. "Ugh, Wizards from Earthland are strong than I thought."
"Run, listen to us, if you want to to stop this corruption you got to realize that your plan is impossible, and your leader including Budo and Minister Honest, don't care about anything but bloodshed and war!" Taran stated firmly.
"If you try to change the Empire within, then you need to realize your idea is going to get you killed that includes anyone else that goes with your plan!" Levy reminded
Run backed away shaking his head while hissing deeply and flew away. "YOU'RE WRONG!"
Gajeel sighed. "Guess, he won't listen to us, anyway, let's return to camp."
"Alright!" Taran and Levy replied in unison.
At the church.
Akame arrived there with Gray and Juvia.
"So this is the cathedral of Kyoroch." Gray said gazing at the size of the building.
Juvia then started her imagination.
Gray was in a tuxedo in a alter in front of priest.
Juvia was walking down the ally in a wedding dress with a white water lily on her head.
Her friends were all there in their seats.
Juvia approached to her groom.
"Friends we are gathered here to have these two wizards in a bounds of love." The priest said holding a book as he looked at the ice wizard. "Gray Fullbuster, do you wish to have Juvia as your beloved wife?"
Gray smirked. "I do."
"Juvia Lockster, do you take this man to be your beloved husband?" The old man asked.
"I certainly do!" Juvia cried with joy.
"I pronounce you man and wife." The priest.
Gray and Juvia's lips started to move towards each other.
"Juvia, Juvia..."
Juvia's head came back into reality seeing that she was no longer in a wedding dress.
Akame was confused yet more weirded out. "What you doing spacing out?"
Juvia shook her head. "Oh, I was...I was..."
Gray groaned embarrassingly. "Her imagination is getting to her again."
In the corner of the church Seryu and Koro were hiding, the browned pony tailed girl jumped out of the corner kicking her foot down.
Akame heard this. "HEADS UP!"
Gray and Juvia quickly dodged the attack from Seryu.
Koro appeared in his larger tall form.
"Gray Fullbuster, its been awhile." Seryu said with a cold stare. "To think someone like you joined such evil demons like Night Raid."
Juvia stepped forward. "You got it wrong, the Empire is corrupted, then again you're just as messed as Captain Ogre and Dr Stylish were!"
Seryu hissed then but noticed Juvia. "Who are the devil are you?"
"My name is Juvia Lockster." The water wielder replied.
Seryu observed the woman closely as Koro began to snarl. "Hmm, I don't care who you are, I will kill Night Raid, including Gray Fullbuster."
Hearing that really pissed Juvia off as a dark aura was coming from her body. "If you carry out that threat on my beloved then you won't be around to live for it."
Gray remembered that look the first time he fought her. "She's going to lose it."
Seryu sensed a strong aura coming from Juvia. "(What is this aura I'm feeling, its filled with such rage.)"
Koro was starting to feel a bit uneasy.
Akame was feeling a clammy feeling down her spine. "Wait, calm down." She remembered seeing Juvia angry previously whenever other such as Bulat, Leone, and even she hugged him, but this was different.
"I won't, that bitch and her dog beast is planning to kill my beloved." Juvia muttered as she walked over towards Seryu in a wobbly state.
"This should be good I guess." Akame mumbled still feeling a bit scared.
"WATER NEBULA!"
Juvia launched a water geyser at the Imperial guard sending her crashing into the church's wall.
Koro barked viciously and began to spin around with his mouth open wide.
"ICE MAKE: CANNON!"
Gray created several cannons from the ground and fired regular rocks which hit the Imperial Arms dog's body and even hit his eyes making yelp in pain.
"NO KORO!" Seryu cried as she growled and stared at the two wizards. "(That water devil's power is unlike I've seen, including Gray's his ice magic is more then Esdeath described.)"
"I will not let a Imperial devil like you to harm my friends or my beloved Gray!" Juvia shouted angrily.
Seryu was surprised yet confused. "(Beloved Gray, does she love him?)" She shook the thought off and put her arm out. "Koro Phase Five!"
The Imperial Arms dog bit her right arm which freaked out Juvia. "What the heck?"
Koro pulled his mouth of his owner's arm and was replaced with a large green spiked club and jumped up and swung her club down.
"ICE MAKE: HAMMER!"
Gray created a large ice hammer and he swung it at Seryu's club which broke it into pieces.
Gray fired his cannons again which fired regular rocks that hit Koro and Seryu, leaving wounds on their bodies. "This isn't working, let's retreat!" Seryu threw down a smokescreen and ran off with Koro who reverted back into its smaller from.
The smokescreen was thick that before the Night Raid knew it, Seryu and Koro were gone.
"They escaped." Gray grumbled.
"We'll have return to camp before she tries to get her team!" Akame declared.
Juvia had to agree on that suggestion. "I agree, let's go my beloved!"
Gray nodded respond.
At the other hideout base.
The three Take over Siblings with in the dining room with Tatsumi.
Lisanna was sitting on a couch. "Man, this city is big, I just hope the others from Earthland can find us."
Mira who was sitting on the couch with her, put her hand on her young sister's shoulder. "Sis, they'll find us and before you know, we'll be on our way home."
Elfman who was standing up and beside the couch grinned. "Yeah, we just need to have faith."
Lisa nodded hopefully with a smile on her face.
Tatsumi seemed to be starting at them.
"Oh, is something up?" Lisanna asked noticing the swordsman's face.
"Oh I was just noticing that you three are very close." Tatsumi chuckled.
Elfman smiled. "Yeah, we looked after each other ever since Mira got her magic."
Tatsumi had a troubled look but now it felt like he was concerned. "Look, I was told that you three lost your cool against Akame, am I right?"
The three wizard siblings lowered their heads a bit feeling bad for their outburst.
Tatsumi sighed knowing his question was confirmed. "Well, I admit myself its quite a shock, I have no doubt that your friends are shocked as well."
Mira then looked troubled. "I know, its not fair, they're sisters, they should find a way to work this out."
Tatsumi did understand after hearing that story. "I know, Akame must feel bad too."
Lisanna then spoke her piece. "Hearing that one of the corpses she has is one of her friends is messed up."
"Yeah, I wouldn't let that girl control anyone of us including those that died!" Elfman proclaimed.
"Anyway, I heard you Mira and Lisanna along with Akame fought against a Jaeger named Run and Ibaba a Rakshara Demon." Tatsumi pointed out.
Mira felt a chill down her spine.
Lisanna giggled. "Yeah Ibaba was quite strange, that skills he used was gross, he started to fall for Mira."
Tatsumi made an awe look. "What?"
"Yes, though I wouldn't go out with a freak like him!" Mira exclaimed with a red face.
Elfman eyes widened. "Tatsumi, zip up your pants."
Tatsumi realized his pants were un-zipped and he zipped them up.
"Oh my." Mira giggled with a red face.
Elfman started to chuckle couldn't contain it. "Ha, ha, ha!"
"Oh come on guys!" Tatsumi pouted embarassingly
Lisanna then gasped quietly again remembering something.
Natsu would throw a temper tantrum or act juvenile as she would put whenever someone messes with him. "STOP PICKING ON ME!"
Lisanna began to giggle.
Tatsumi stopped wondering the young white haired girl was giggling about. "Something funny?"
"Oh, its just you remind of Natsu, see beside your childish behavior, you also remind me of how he wants to get stronger every time so he protect his friends." Lisanna replied. "After what our friends told us, you weren't quite strong at first, but lately you're getting stronger and stronger everyday."
Tatsumi smiled. "Yeah, I guess so, anyway I will protect everyone here that includes you guys."
Elfman grinned while Mira smiled cutely.
Lisanna's face went red as Tatsumi smiled brightly at her. "That smile of yours is just like Natsu's smile."
Hearing that made the boy blush red. "Uh thanks I guess."
Run made it back to the mansion and walked towards the entrance.
Gajeel's words came to his head first. "Try your plan, but people will still be killed, Esdeath, Budo, and the Minister only care for bloodshed and war, nothing else matters to them!"
Taran's words then came to his head next. "You just don't admit that cause of the violence that is caused by this rebellion!"
Levy words came to his head last. "Try to change the Empire within, besides people being killed, you and anyone that goes with your plan might be punished!"
He began to walk to his room and as he arrived there he sat on his bed. "(Is it true what they say, my plan of changing the Empire within is impossible and will anyone that goes with my plan be punished?)"
"Hey, we heard you return and we noticed you look down." Wave said looking concerned.
"Yeah, I never seen you look so down before." Kurome added.
Run lowered his head. "Well, I just got my hide kicked by more earthland Wizards."
His two teammates gasped in surprise.
Meanwhile General Esdeath was in her room drawing in her sketch book and what she was drawing was Gray. "(My love, I can't stop thinking about you, I really keep looking forward to our meeting I just hope its here.)"
Seryu and Koro returned later to the entrance of the Borick's mansion, both were injured as they entered the main room, two woman noticed them and were shocked to see them in such a state.
"AAAAHHH!"
Run, Wave, and Kurome heard the scream and ran out of the room.
Two girls came running pass them.
"Wait, what's going?" Run asked the girls.
"Seryu and Koro are hurt!" One of them answered.
The three Jaegers gasped as they ran to the main entrance doors.
Back at Night Raid's camp.
Gajeel, Taran were talking with Najenda and others.
"I see, Run was a teacher in village in the central area of the Empire." the boss said looking interested.
"Yeah, apparently it was also a farm village near Joyou which had fertile area and was very wealthy." Gajeel explained.
"Also, the children there were quick learners, they looked up to Run." Taran added. "However Run went away sometime ago, then when he returned he found out his students were killed, he saw their bodies on the classroom."
Najenda was disgusted at this.
Gray was realizing more about Run then he knew, he was kind but to think he was teacher that had students that were murdered.
"That's awful." Juvia said feeling sad.
"Didn't anyone do anything to help him?" Tatsumi asked.
Gajeel shook his head. "He tried, but the Joyou officials didn't want the incident to ruin their reputation as peaceful and safe village."
Gray decided to question what he was hearing. "Seriously, but that means..."
"The entire incident was swept under the rug, forgotten in a way, like it was no big deal." Taran answered.
Lily hissed. "Figures that this empire's laws wouldn't let such insanity get out."
"Yes, but he doesn't to realize that changing the Empire within is pointless." Taran said as she glanced at Akame. "Is that correct?"
Akame nodded confirming her question. "Yes, even if he did so, then people would still be killed."
Najenda narrowed her eyes down. "My thoughts exactly."
"Why can't Kurome see that though, let alone leave the Empire?" Lisanna asked as her siblings wondered that too.
Akame hands curled up. "As you know our previous comrades we worked with in the empire died, as the days of me working at the Empire, I began to see more of the Empire hidden agenda, so I decided to withdraw."
"I see, but what was Kurome's reason of staying?" Erza asked.
"To her, leaving the Empire would be betrayal for those our falling comrades and some that were current ones." Akame replied.
"I see, your sister's reasoning on staying." Erza spoke. "Fighting against comrades then making them enemies is worse and what happened to your sister was inhumane."
"I agree, I remember the incident that happened during the Magonlia's festival." Mira said.
"What do you mean?" Akame asked
The Fairy Tail wizards explained to her and Night Raid about when Laxus and his team decided to force everyone in the guild to fight, even though Laxus wanted to fix the reputation of the Guild, his actions were out of line.
"Oh my, that is crazy." Lubbock said in surprise.
"To think, he and his team forced you guys to fight each other." Mine said looking disgusted.
"Yeah, we admit his reasons were out of the line." Gray agreed. "But during an incident on Tenrou Island, he saved us from a Wizard that was the Master of Grimore Heart, he started to have a change of heart after returning from a sleep."
Erza smiled. "Yes, after seven years from our sleep, the fifth master Gildarts decided to reinstate Laxus as a member of Fairy Tail, he became a true friend."
"That' s quite a story." Tatsumi commented.
"Anyway, Akame, I think we understand you, your own reason of leaving the Empire was because you were able to see the darkness inside which was very deep." Lisanna stated.
Mira decided to speak her piece. "Yeah, after you tried to convince to Kurome to come with you, she refused cause that would be betrayal to your comrades that died for the sake of the Empire."
"Yes, making current members would be worse." Elfman spoke.
"Though I admit your sister controlling the deceased is wrong too but I don't think your sister realizes that." Erza stated remembered the deceased corpses like Natala. "In my opinion, she doesn't seem to know how to move forward, but losing a friend is sad, I should know."
Images of Simon and Grandpa Rob came to her head. "I never forgot how Simon and Grandpa Rob saved me, its was painful to lose them, but we have to move on."
Akame knew she agree on the red head's point about moving foward.
"Beyond that, there is such deep darkness in the Empire, that changing the Empire within is pointless, am I right?" Gajeel asked glancing at the Night Raid boss.
Najenda nodded her head. "Correct."
"Minister Honest wouldn't like it if he and anyone with the Empire find out if those that oppose the Empire." Akame commented. "Anyone that opposes the Empire gets executed."
Gray decided to speak. "Even so, Run's idea is crazy, if he and any of his comrades go with that idea, then they'll get killed."
"Agreed, but they don't seem to believe that." Tatsumi stated. "If Run tries his plan, then we know what might happen."
Chelsea was concerned about the Wizards and decided to speak her piece. "Well, I have to say that we can't convince them, but either way you guys are right, even Run and anyone on his team go with his idea, they're as good as dead."
Najenda cleared her throat. "Anyway, for now we still need to focus on the mission, so in two days we'll assassinate Borick, when that day comes, I'll explain the plan, for now continue looking around the city, for anything, be careful when facing the Jaegers or the last Rakshara Demon!"
"YES BOSS!" Her Night Raid assassins proclaimed together in unison and raising her arms up.
Natsu and the others were riding their horses on through the path in the Valley, it was dark.
"Its taken too long to get to Kyoroch!" Happy exclaimed.
"I'm getting hungry!" Natsu whined.
"Oh man, I'm getting hungry too." Wendy said holding her stomach.
"Me too but where can we eat?" Carla asked.
Just then there was a scream.
"What was that?" Lucy asked startled.
"It came from up ahead." Happy pointed out.
They dashed ahead and saw a young short haired woman being attacked by a giant by pack of wild wolf pack, one in the front of the pack was a big one.
"She needs help!" Carla stated.
Natsu got off his horse. "FIRE DRAGON'S ROAR!" He unleashed his fire breath that burned the pack to ashes expect for the leader who snarled at Fire Dragon Slayer.
The woman was surprised at the man she saved her.
Just then the large wolf Danger Beast charged at pinkette man.
"SKY DRAGON'S CLAW!" Wendy's foot was covered in a wind and then kicked the wolf in the face knocking to the ground.
The woman took out two twin daggers and stabbed the canine creature in the stomach which killed it.
Lucy was startled at the kill but got over it a bit.
"Are you alright miss?" Natsu asked.
"Oh I'm good, but who are you guys?" The woman asked.
"Oh, I'm Natsu Dragneel, these are my friends and-." He stopped as his stomach growled.
"My, sounds like you're hungry." The woman giggled.
Then Lucy, Wendy, Happy, and Carla's stomach growled too which made them blush.
"Guess your friends stomachs want food too."
"Yeah, heh, heh." Lucy giggled embarrassingly.
"Wait, are you working with the Revolution?" The woman asked.
"Yes, we were going to Kyoroch because our friends are with Night Raid." Wendy replied.
The woman seemed interested. "What a coincidence, I'm a member of the Revolution too, oh my name is Kelly, I'm on my way to Greenland village when those Danger Beast Wolves ambushed me."
"I see, we can escort you to your village." Lucy said.
Monica smiled. "Oh, is that ok with your friends?"
Natsu smiled brightly. "I'm with her, we would be glad to get you home."
"Ok, then my leader will be happy to see you guys, her name is Monica." Kelly said bowing. "I'm sure we'll be glad to offer you guys meals."
"Let's go then!" Natsu proclaimed.
"Aye!" Happy flew up with a drooling mouth.
"They love to eat as usually." Lucy giggled.
"No surprise to me." Carla mumbled.
"That's for sure." Wendy said smiling.
They all got on their horses and followed Kelly to the village she was suppose to meet up with Monica and her people.
"(Looks like we're going to have to escort this girl to her friend's village.)" Natsu thought as he gazed at the direction to Kyoroch. "(Our friends are there, but we'll reunite soon.)"
Time passes a the sun began to rise and then the group approached a cliffside where the village was down from afar.
"Such a view." Lucy said amazed.
"It was is, especially with a sunrise like this." Carla agreed.
"Come on I'm starving." Natsu whined again.
"Heh, heh, you got a appetite I see." Kelly giggled.
"That's no surprise." Wendy said sharing a giggle.
"Anyway, let's go!" Happy declared.
End of chapter.
