"I think you shouldn't really face an Enhanced with stupid moves like that" Angel lashed out his wings and attacked Michelle.

"Michelle..." Lucy shouted.

"I'm fine..."

"Don't hurt her!"

"This girl is sure noisy, how about I..." Racer charged against Lucy but dodged as soon as a man blocked him.

"I think you should not tackle a lady like that"

A man stood in front of Lucy, protecting her with his hand. The man like in a fairy tale, a knight in shining armor.

Cobra stood bravely in front of the two enhanced with his arms protecting the second daughter of Jude and Layla Heartfilia who is unconscious. He looked ferociously at both of them. And smile annoyingly to them.

"Long time no see, Angel" Cobra said as he put Lucy down and laid her body on the ground. He looked at Lucy and noticed that she had a slight wound on her head. Maybe it was caused by the ruckus outside of the building just now. Truth to be told, he saw this blonde girl just now when he was identifying the number of humans inside the building. He noticed Lucy in the car. But care less about her as she not holding any significant role in his quest.

Cobra looked through the building and saw Igneel's body on the floor and noticed he was dead. This put a question inside his head, isn't Brain was ordering him to kill him but why, Angel was the one who killed him? This doesn't make any sense. Brain ordered her to do the same task as mine? Cobra looked at another person standing near Angel, a fellow with yellow hair and wearing a pair of shades. Why does Angel paired with this clown? What is happening right now and who is him?

Angel glanced to the situation in front of her. With Igneel's death, this means her job is already completed. But somehow, why does her heart didn't feel any joy by killing Igneel. He is the man who was responsible for his parent's death, so she should be feeling joy and happiness right now but why somehow, she didn't feel any of that today.

Is it because of Cobra's appearance?

'Ugh! I don't understand!' Angel scratched the back of her head and was annoyed by this sudden feelings and emotions inside her head. She looked to Racer and he was ready to counterattack against Cobra. Judging from both enhanced, Angel deduced that Racer could beat Cobra due to Cobra's enhanced hearing senses, which he can used to locate Racer's location even he can move very quick. Even with the combined effort from both of them, she don't think that they can beat him as well.

"Whatever, loser! Racer hang on to me. Our job is done" Angel said to Racer as she opened her wings and soared out of the building with Racer hold on to her leg.

"What a bothersome!" Cobra scratched the back of his head as he walked to Lucy.

'Why does you reminded me of someone?" She put her hand on Lucy's face. Her soft skin came in contact with his hard scaly skin. And somehow, he felt so calm.

Out of nowhere, Romeo came and stand beside Cobra. He was hiding inside one of the closet at the main hall and when he heard no sound came from the conference room, he came out from the closet.

"Sir, what should we do now?" Romeo said as he squatted next to Cobra.

"I think we should bring her to the nearest clinic or hospital because she needs treatment" Cobra said to Romeo. Romeo nodded twice and as he was about to carry Lucy, Cobra laughed at him.

"What?" Romeo was confused by the sudden laughter.

"You know, we don't need to carry him. You're the tech guy, just call the paramedics here" Cobra said as he petted Romeo.

"I...I...was going to do that!" With red cheeks, Romeo headed to a telephone and dialled the paramedics. After stating the location, he hung up. "Done, now what should we do?" At approximately the same time, both of their stomach growled.

"I guess we head to that ramen shop" Romeo nodded and both of them left the building and used the back door.

"Ugh!" Slowly, Lucy opened her eyes, and as she opened it, she saw Michelle was sitting on a chair beside her bed. She was reading a novel, and when she realised that Lucy was awake, she put her novel on the bed table beside Lucy's bed and sat on the bed beside her. She looked at Lucy and saw that she still not remembered the event just now. She sighed and let Lucy be. She don't want to remind any tragic event to her.

"Where are we? Michelle, where are we?"

"We're at home, Lucy. Don't you remember that we went shopping just now?"

"We did. I don't remember a single thing though"

"Well, we went shopping and then you bumped into a man and then you passed out. It was so embarrassing, Lucy and I just laughed at it"

"Oh, okey then. Now, I just want to sleep and forgot everything that happened today"

"Sure, Lucy! I'll be at the reading room if you need me"

Michelle left Lucy in the room and headed to the reading room. On the way, she met Jude Heartfilia, her father.

"Michelle, how's Lucy?"

"She's doing fine, Papa. You don't need to worry"

"That's great. You know I was so scared when I get the intels that Dragneel Company was attacked and Igneel died. I'm so happy that you and your sister are fine"

"Thank you for worrying about us, papa. I did as I should, protecting my sister. Will you excuse me, papa, I need to go to the reading room now"

"Sure"

Michelle left Jude and continue on heading to the reading room. Jude watched as Michelle left him and somehow, it reminded him of the past.

"Michelle, you should share it with Lucy, don't be so stingy" Layla said as she was trying to persuade her first daughter in sharing the two Barbie dolls that she was holding. Michelle shook her head many times. She didn't want to share the dolls because she was afraid that Lucy will break it. Lucy on the other hand was crying very loudly and this really bothers everyone inside the Heartfilia Mansion.

"But, mom, I want to play dolls too" Lucy kept on crying and crying. Even Layla was surrendering.

A knock on the door took everyone attentions for a while. One of the maids, opened the door. Standing at the door, is a boy with maroon hair. Looking at the person who have arrived, Lucy stop crying and ran to the boy.

"Were you crying again today?" The boy asked.

"No, I didn't" Lucy lied but smile any way. Seeing Lucy smile, the boy also smiled. Layla looked at both of them smiled happily while Michelle went upstairs with the dolls in hand.

Jude stood at the stairs and looked at the two of them and was disgusted on the sight of the two of them.

'I wonder what had happened to that boy now' Jude mumbled alone in the hallway before decided to went downstairs.

On her way, Michelle kept on thinking on what she saw today. That person, was he the same person, the boy with the maroon hair, but didn't he died? And what is the meaning of this 'Enhanced'. Somehow, why do I keep thinking that the three of them had in common with the murders that happened involving businessesmen. Maybe there's something inside the reading room that I can used as a references.
