Chapter 19 – A Planned Love
Before you all start complaining about how long the wait was, let me say in defense that I had just graduated from high school, and I was working on EDventures in Kalos all this time. I am now shifting gears and coming back to this story.
I'll have Sophie be more active this chapter, and be expecting some action here and there as we are now in The Battle of Fairy Tail Arc. This time, the Pokémon will get involved.
On with the show!
To Recap:
Nic is awake and witnesses his mournful funeral, to which he sees al of Fairy Tail shattered. He is then saved by Dialga and Palkia and they send him back to Fiore, though it was a week later. Another week rolls by and Nic arrives at Fairy Tail's new Guild Hall. Inside, everyone is unhappy, but when Nic arrives, everyone is overjoyed, especially Erza, who tackles him and hugs him. Afterwards, she planned to put the hurt on him and he takes off. He is cornered by Erza and he refuses to fight back, saying he deserves pain for making her sad. It was there Erza surprisingly gave Nic a kiss and forgives him. They arrive at Fairy Tail, greeting a new member, Sophie. Later, Gajeel is beaten up by Jet and Droy, and soon enough Laxus comes and attacks, but Nic intervenes and stops Laxus, forcing Laxus to turn and walk away in anger.
Chapter 19 – A Planned Love
A couple of days rolled by after Nic's return, and everything was ever so peaceful…well, as peaceful as it can get. As usual, the guild roughhouses and as usual, Nic stops them with an attack of sorts, all that sorts. Nic and Erza have been spending so much time together at the guild and around Magnolia since their little 'moment'. Nic surprises Erza by getting her some strawberry cheesecake, in which she responds with either a hug or a very small blush.
Anyways, Sophie had found a place of her own, and surprising enough, it was five places down from Lucy's. It was an apartment of equal size, but the color was more brown and white rather than brown and orange. The roof was slanted forwards and backwards, with three dormers and the dormers themselves all being curved outwards. The walls were that of white brock, and the paneling and lining was of brown, thick wood that supported the apartment. The upper half of the apartment had two windows, one on each side, both rectangular, separated by another arced window. The bottom half had two smaller windows on each side separated by the door, which had a domed shield over it, which was brown also. The door was arced and paneled in brown, and the actual door itself was dark brown.
Inside, the living room was located towards the right of when you walk in. There was a sofa, two coffee tables, a long couch, all connected towards the other, forming the letter E but without the middle line. Al of that was facing a fire place, where a fire lacrima was heating up the place. The fireplace had a bench over it, where there were pictures of Sophie and her mom and dad, both on opposite ends. The carpet was cream colored and the walls were a peach color that stretched fifteen feet high with the walls expanding over thirty feet in length.
When you enter through the left, you would find a kitchen, with the kitchen stretching expanding and connecting to the living room. There was your standard stove, sink, and countertops and silver wear all about. And a restroom resided towards the left of the stove and to the right of the refrigerator. To the right of the countertops was a square table, with two chairs and two stools set aside.
When you enter and go straight forward, a staircase separated the kitchen and the living room. It stretched up to where the second floor was, and the walls on both ends of said staircase went on for twenty feet, giving that space behind for the living room and kitchen to connect, which was ten feet. The upstairs was separated into a spacious hallway. On the left were two doors, one being the bathroom with a soothing bath and shower, and the other being a spacious closet containing supplies for the bath.
To the opposite of the two doors were two other doors, one being Sophie's room, and the other being a guest bedroom. The guest bedroom had a standard single person bed with purple sheets and light blue walls. There was a small desk and a lamp, and a small closet. In the middle of that room was a long coffee table that sat seven feet from some sort of movie lacrima system.
Sophie's room was a double person bed with dark blue blankets and light blue sheets. Her bedroom also had a desk to write and work and she had a table in the middle if she wanted breakfast closer towards her bed, giving a close reference to 'breakfast in bed'. The walls were navy blue and her window was adjacent to her bed. Her dresser and mirror were right next to each other, opposite wall of the bed. Her room also had a movie lacrima system that was in front of her table.
Sophie had privately invited Nic, Erza, Lucy, Gray, Natsu, and Happy to her new home and Nic decided to have Greninja pop out to have some fresh air, not to mention show what Pokémon are to her. Sophie was surprised that there were countless Pokémon from where Nic came from.
"Geez Nic, I never knew you encountered so many back where you came from!" Sophie said. "It's surprising alone that you're from another world!"
Nic was sitting down on a sofa, right next to Erza in the living room. Soophie was on a lne chair and a coffee table separated her and Nic. Greninja was on the couch, separating Gray and Natsu. And Happy was sitting on Lucy's lap, where she was right on another chair opposite of Sophie.
Nic nodded. "Yeah. I've met so many and fought so hard against each and every one." He then shifted his gaze over to Greninja. "We've really come a long way."
Greninja nodded. "That would be an understatement."
Erza turned towards Nic. "So Nic, how do you know these Pokémon so well? Species and all?" Nic turned towards Erza and started explaining.
"Well, most people would use this." He then pulled out a small device that was red with black ripples on the sides. There was a black outlining in the middle, where there was some blue hologram in the space between. "If people don't know what pokemon they're facing, they would use this thing called a Pokedex. It tells you of what a Pokémon does and its habits." He then looked over at his Greninja yet again. "The fact is that I know my Pokémon all too well that this thing is pretty much junk."
Happy flew over with his wings. "Oh, can we see how it works?" He asked.
"Yeah, I wouldn't mind seeing how that thing works as well. It'd be nice to know what these things can do." Gray commented.
Feeling in a good mood, Nic then held up his device and it opened upwards, the hologram middle expanding five or so inches surprising some of them there.
"Okay, I'll let you guys see my pokémon for an example." Nic said and then he angled the encyclopedia at Greninja, who didn't even bother blinking. The Pokedex then showed a picture of Greninja in a light blue flash, surprising Happy.
"Whoa! His picture popped up!" Happy shouted.
"Yeah." Nic said. The device then began to describe Greninja.
"Greninja, the Ninja Pokémon. It creates throwing stars out of compressed water. When it spins them and throws them at high speed, these stars can split metal in two." The device explained in a feminine monotone voice.
Everyone listened, and Erza was surprised Greninja's Water Shuriken could really do that. "If that were the case, perhaps my Adamantine Armor may have a struggle." She said.
Greninja wasn't move, but raised his hand in defense. "I was lucky to have re-learned that move." He commented.
Nic turned to everyone else. "You guys want to hear a few more?"
Everyone nodded, and Nic's device had the picture change towards Charizard.
"Charizard, the Flame Pokémon. When expelling a blast of superhot fire, the red flame at the tip of its tail burns more intensely."
Natsu leaned in forward. "Huh, maybe I should eat some of his fire sometime." He said. "I bet it's really tasty."
"Yeah, good luck with that." Nic said. The picture than changed to Kecleon.
"Kecleon, the Color Swap Pokémon. It changes its shading to match its surroundings so it can sneak up on prey. Only its belly patterns stay fixed."
Lucy went wide-eyed, remembering how Nic's Kecleon did just that when she and Reedus were cornered that one time. "Huh, I did remember your Kecleon helping us out. She was silent."
Nic nodded as the device went back to normal and deactivated. "Yeah, despite her quirks, she can get the job done in a flash." He remarked. He then put the device away. "If you guys don't mind, I wanna save the rest for the guild."
"Agreed. Everyone should hear what your friends can do." Erza said. Nic turned towards her and smiled, as did the latter.
Something then came across Lucy's mind. "Though, there's something I don't get." She said, regaining everyone's attention. "You said trainers can carry up to six, right?"
"Yeah." Nic answered.
"Right, and we've only seen five. What about your sixth?" Lucy asked. Nic crossed his arms stared blankly outwards.
It was then he turned towards Lucy. "Right, do you wanna dig your own grave?" Lucy blinked and raised a brow.
"Huh?" She questioned.
"The heck's that suppose to mean?" Natsu said, curious as to what Nic meant.
Nic leaned back on the sofa. "For one thing, he's my most powerful Pokémon. Second, he's exceedingly savage, always defeating his opponents without any mercy." Lucy can already picture something that Nic describes, and she got the shivers.
"Boy, and here I thought your Arbok was feisty enough." She commented with a shiver running along her spine.
Nic then lowered his head, and then his easy gaze looked more serious. Everyone saw this, and they all knew Nic wasn't kidding.
"You're not exaggerating, are you?" Sophie asked in a serious tone as well, following the mood change.
Nic nodded. "Yeah. He loves to battle, and he's, how to put this, instinctive. Using every bit of his senses to crush his enemies. All I can really say is that he's wild in battle and is my fastest aerial combatant."
"Then what's he like outside of battle?" Gray asked.
"He's tamed and mild, but he still can't help but lash out at even the slightest urge, but nobody on my team minds, we're family after all."
Sophie smiled. "He sounds nice outside of battle. Maybe we can see him soon." Sophie was trying to remain positive, just so the atmosphere doesn't die. Nic looked at her and grinned at what she was doing.
"Yeah, soon." He remarked.
Happy sat himself in Lucy's lap, surprising her. "He sounds just as tough as Laxus the way you put it." Gray, Natsu, and Erza all tensed up slightly when Happy mentioned him. Nic figured Laxus was strong; after all, they did get into a few quarrels.
Nic hunched forward and tensed up his arms when he was still crossing them. "Laxus, that jerk." He muttered.
Now Lucy was shuddering even more. "Geez, just thinking about those two fighting makes me wanna scream."
"Aye, he's super duper strong." Happy remarked. "Maybe Erza or Mystogan can beat him. Hek, maybe even Nic can take him on. Even Mira was tough awhile ago. Her nickname was The Demon."
"B-But she's so sweet!" Lucy said, shocked.
Happy turned towards her. "I think we should have ourselves a big tournament to see who's the strongest!"
Nic rolled his eyes and sighed. "Yeah, best be careful what you wish for." He remarked. Lucy then saw something sticking out of Happy's sac on his back.
"Uh, Happy? There's something there in your bag." Lucy said, pointing.
"Oh, right!" Happy reached and pulled out the object, which was really a piece of paper, to be more exact, a flyer of sorts. "Magnolia is participating in the Harvest Festival this year! You guys need to read the bottom of this!"
Lucy then took the paper and read it out loud. "Miss Fairy Tail Contest and the winner gets…HOLY COW! 500,000 Jewels!" Lucy shouted in shock. "That's enough to cover my rent for seven months!"
"Aye, but watch out Lucy." Happy teased. "Mira and Cana are entering as well." Lucy then drooped, thinking she had a lot of ground to cover up with such competitors.
Sophie didn't look amused. "You don't have to worry about me, because I don't enter those things." Lucy and Erza turned towards her in some shock.
"Wait, you're not competing?" Said a shocked Lucy.
"Nah, if it were a talent show, then it would be another story." Sophie spoke. Now everyone was in on what Sophie was talking about.
"Talent show? And what might your talent be?" Greninja asked.
Sophie got a big smile on her face. "I'm glad you asked." Sophie then got up from her seat and she stood in front of everyone there. Everyone watched as a Magic Seal appeared behind her and she had a finger pointed to her head for focus. A chain of memories was seen and they all saw some water appear in the form of a ring around her and some purple fire was making a helix around said ring, startling everyone. Sophie then had it disperse and in place was sparkles of purple and blue.
"Ta-da!" Sophie shouted. Everyone there clapped in response to her display.
"I've never seen anything like it!" Lucy said.
"Aye, is that Magic?" Happy asked. Sophie sat back down into her chair and relaxed.
"Yeah." Sophie said. "It's Memory-Make Magic."
Erza narrowed her eyes in suspicion. "I've heard of that type of Magic. It's been told to be some Ancient Spell. That type of Magic is long -since forgotten. Where did you learn to do that?"
Sophie smiled. "Don't worry, my dad found a book on it when doing trades for merchandise and he decided to let me have it. I can have an enhanced memory and can fuse Magic Spells that I remember. A type of Molding Magic if you put it mildly." Sophie explained.
Erza relaxed. "I see."
Nic got up from the sofa, as did Greninja. "Well, I think we should be heading out. It's close to nine, and Lucy has to prepare. Off we go buddy." Nic ordered Greninja. Greninja followed Nic and the two were making their way out.
Sophie looked back at Nic as he and Greninja had just exited. "Hmm." She then turned back towards Erza. "My, you two seem to like the other's presence." She teased. Erza twitched her eye and got up as well.
"I'd best be off too. I have stuff to do as well." She said as calmly as she could. She then walked out, thanking Sophie for her hospitality.
Sophie turned back towards the rest, and they had grins on their faces as well.
"She liiiikes him." Happy teased.
"We know Happy." Said Sophie. "Pray those two didn't hear that, otherwise you should start digging your own grave."
Outside, Greninja and Nic were walking side-by-side, much like they were soldiers, with steps in sync. They were walking under the starry sky, and Nic had a curious smirk on his face.
Greninja took notice. "What's with that face?"
Nic turned towards him, keeping the same face. "Can't help but think."
"Of what?"
Nic was blushing somewhat slightly and looked away. "Nothing much, just if Erza was going to be in there too." He admitted sheepishly.
Greninja raised a brow, if it were possible. "You know, you and Erza are getting along well." Greninja examined. "It's clear that you two like each other."
"Yeah." Then Nic's smile turned into a frown. "But I just don't know how to push any farther than I already have."
They continued walking in silence for a good ten seconds, and Greninja was looking down in contemplation. He then looked back up at Nic after mentally deciding. "Hey, Nic." Nic looked down at his froggy pal. "Why don't you ask her out on a date?"
Nic came to a screeching halt and almost fell forward if not for him trying to balance himself. After steadying himself, he blinked and raised a shocked brow at his buddy. "Is that tongue too tight around your face? Why would I ever do that?" He barked.
Greninja wasn't fazed by his shocked expression. "For starters, you two want to know the other better; plus, maybe she would say yes."
Nic moved about in that one spot, startled, confused, and conflicted for the most part. "Uhhhh, I don't know."
"Hey, if not now, when? Ask yourself that." Greninja said. He had a point. If Nic doesn't ask her, either he never will or he'll be keeping her waiting for an even longer period of time. Nic almost paled at the thought of Erza waiting, she would not only be upset, but pissed. Nic shook his head multiple times and he stood straight up.
He then swallowed and sweat dropped. "Eh…"
Greninja gave his buddy some advice to ease his confliction. "Look, you can just go ask her right now, and I'll meet you at the guild. If she says no, at least you know she's not ready, right?"
Nic inhaled slowly, and then exhaled. Finally, he spoke. "Okay, I'll try."
Greninja smiled. "That a boy. Now go on! What are you waiting for?!" Greninja gestured for Nic to leave, and Nic was moving faster than an Onix with a triple Rock Polish.
Nic waived back. "I'll meet you soon!"
"Take your time, take your time." Greninja waived back and began his solo walk back towards the guild to sleep on some tables as always.
Fairy Hills
Erza had just entered her bedroom, and she requipped into her blue skirt and white blouse. She sat down on her purple queen-sized bed and sighed. It was then that she heard a knock on the window behind her. Erza jerked up in surprise and curiously looked behind her, seeing Nic tapping on her window.
Erza slightly opened her mouth and blinked. "Nic?" She went over towards her window, seeing him through the window. "What are you doing here?" She opened up her window and Nic hopped onto the windowsill, which was sturdy to have him perched there.
"Hey Erza." Nic greeted, trying to keep his cool.
Erza was somewhat curious as to what Nic was doing here? "What's your business here? You know Fairy Hills doesn't allow boys."
Nic kept a grin and looked to his lower right. "Right, I'm aware." He then shifted his gaze over towards Erza, who was wondering what Nic's business was here. It wasn't like him to appear out of the blue, this must be something important.
"Is there something wrong?" Erza asked. "You're kind of looking red." She could see the red on his face slightly, but just slightly.
"Yeah, you too." Nic joked. Really, she didn't, but when Nic said it, she began to blush.
Erza was beginning to have those fluttering butterflies in her stomach and her heart rate was increasing slightly. Was this just to say hello? To ask a question? Too…too…
Erza was beginning to have a deeper shade of red, with her mind somewhat slipping into the gutters with all of those smut novels she's been reading. Fortunately, this wasn't the case.
Thank God.
'I know Erza is straight to the point, so I'd best make this quick before things get even more awkward.' Nic thought. He had his legs and feet inside the room, but only let them hang and not touch the floor. With whatever mentality he could muster up, he began his question. "Erza, I've been wondering something." He started.
Erza perked her head up, her face now flushing away into a light shade of pink, now knowing this was a question.
"Would you mind…if we…" He was beginning to stutter, and then he yelled at himself. 'JUST SAY IT ALREADY YOU NITWIT!' He then spat out the rest. "If we go on a small date sometime?" He tried to calmly asked, though it felt rushed with the pressure he put on himself.
Erza froze in place, her cheeks become as red as they were last time. Her heart was pounding so fast that it might burst out of her huge chest. The butterflies were fluttering so hard that it tickled.
'H-He wants to ask me out on a-a…a date!' Erza thought. She was feeling all jittery inside, but tried her best to hide herself through her stoic face, though the blush was a giveaway. 'W-What should I-what should I do?!'
She had to say something, but nothing came out. She just stood there, trying to process Nic's question. Nic was raising a brow, seeing her face getting even more red, putting any rose to shame.
He waived a hand in her face, but said nothing. He saw that she was lost in thought. "Uh, is that a maybe?" He wasn't sure if he approached this correctly. Did he mess up somewhere else? Did he break her? Was he not good enough?
His doubt was getting to him, and he was beginning to turn. "Well…maybe I should-!" He was then halted by a hand grabbing his wrist, which mad him stiffen. He didn't even have time to process the yanking and then the hug he was constricted in. All of this happened so fast, faster than a Floatzel using Agility in rain weather.
Erza instinctively had Nic in her hold, holding him tight and didn't dare to let go. Why was she acting like this? She never ever felt so emotional…except maybe during that kiss a couple days ago.
Erza smiled over Nic's shoulder. "Yes." She finally said. "Yes, I'll go on a date with you."
Nic felt so relieved that she gave him an answer. An answer alone would've been fine, but now that she said yes, he was overjoyed. Over her shoulder, he smiled and hugged her as well. It was a rather long hug for the two of them, as they could hear the other's heart thump in rhythm.
At some point, they let go and looked at their joyful faces. The two were regaining their calm composures and they backed away slightly.
"So…when do you wanna have this little date?" Nic asked her.
Erza had a hand to her chin, thinking and staring off into space. "Hmmm…tomorrow is the contest, and the Fantasia Parade is also tomorrow night…" Erza and Nic were contemplating as to when to have this little date.
"Well…maybe after the Harvest Festival. I don't mind waiting until some heat dies down." Nic suggested, to which Erza looked back and smiled.
"Agreed. I would be delighted to have it after the Harvest Festival." Erza said. She then took a step closer to Nic. "Also…" She leaned in towards Nic's face. "I hope you'll cheer for me in the contest tomorrow." She then relied on her instincts and gave him a long kiss on his cheek, almost making Nic explode in red.
Nic was also curious as to if Erza was participating, now he knows. If he exclaimed her being part of the contest, that would be rude, so he kept his mouth shut and accepted her instinctual kiss. She pulled away and blushed at her own actions.
"I'll definitely cheer for you tomorrow." Nic stated. He then turned away and made haste for the window, not knowing what else to say. "See you tomorrow." Was the last thing he said before racing out the window and landing on the ground with grace and zooming off with energy of joy.
Erza looked on with a big smile, her heart thumping at the soon-to-be date that they arranged.
Fairy Tail Guild Hall
Greninja was using his arms as a comfort for his head, and he was staring up at the ceiling. He was thinking about these events that have been happening. He and Nic both have been through quite a bit. They battled a lot, they trained, they basically have been accomplishing a lot.
'I wonder what'll happen. I have a strange feeling about tomorrow.' Greninja's thoughts were intervened by Nic coming through the doors. He looked over and saw that Nic was approaching with a grin on his face.
No words were needed. Greninja could see that Nic asked and he got a date. As for Nic, he had just read Greninja's worried expression the second he arrived.
The two read the other's mind, exchanging their concerns and such.
"Be ready for whatever comes tomorrow." Nic said.
"Same." Greninja and Nic then laid down on two different tables and they were drifting off to sleep.
Nic was still awake, but just barely. His mind was wandering about, thinking about the recent battle he had just partook in against Jellal.
'I'm unlocking a whole bunch of stuff. First Plates, and now this Legendary Force. I don't know, and I'm not certain, but there has to be more than Kyurem, Reshiram, and Zekrom. We'll see.' His mind then drifted into another subject. 'I wonder how Arceus is doing? Better question, how'd he get sick in the first place?...'
Meanwhile, in another dimension…
Several figures were looking through a hole, down at Nic. They were frustrated because that human acquired Arceus's Plates, which they didn't account for.
One was a bipedal, humanoid creature with some feline characteristics. It was mostly gray with a long, purple tail. The top of its head had two short horns, and it had purple eyes. A tube extends from the back of its skull to the top of its spine, avoiding its neck. The three digits on each hand and foot have ball-like tips.
There was also a light purple Pokémon that had a v-shaped marking on its chest and bands around its wrists. There are pink markings around its head and a ponytail, and the sides of the head had curved horns. There was a yellow, ring marking in the center of its forehead, and it had green eyes with yellow sclera. Its arms weren't attached to its body and float next to it. There were golden spiked ends on each shoulders and arms. The bottom half only looked wispy, like its ponytail
There was also a black Pokémon that had a head with a white ghostly plume coming from its head, covering one of its bright blue eyes. It also had a red spiky structure around its neck. It had skinny arms and long black tatters hanging from its shoulders. It also has black hands with claws.
Finally, there was a large gray dragon-like Pokémon with a serpentine structure with gold rings around the back of its neck. A thick black stripe runs vertically along the front with red horizontal stripes. It took on a serpentine look, with six black ghostly streamers on its back with red spikes at the tips. It had gray legs with yellow spiked tips. It had a long tail with four spikes running along the sides. It had red menacing eyes that peered into the hole.
"Gah! This is stupid! Why can't we take him out now?!" the smallest one with multiple rings shouted.
"Silence Hoopa! You know full well that your power alone isn't a match against Palkia. He controls and warps space better than you ever could." Darkrai said. Hoopa just crossed his arms and pouted.
Mewtwo was standing still, conserving his energy. "We gave our power so that the God shall perish, not transfer his power. That human must be destroyed."
"What do you think we've been trying to do?!" Hoopa shouted, his voice echoing through the eternal darkness of which they were sealed in. "That Nic guy has to die!"
Darkrai looked over that the huge dragon serpentine. He looked up, seeing the monster's face peer down into the hole. His gaze was that of the demon of which will make you have eternal nightmares. His eyes were red with pain and sadistic suffering. If you were in place of the hole that they were watching through, you would find the beast looking over you at an unflattering angle with sharp eyes. An image that would scar you for life.
"Giratina?" Darkrai asked. The four were sealed away thanks to Arceus and Dialga and Palkia, and they were getting payback, but now their target has shifted. They used an indirect strategy to taint Arceus and make him suffer a slow and painful death. And that indirect strategy itself was a living being.
"…Arceus." Giratina said in a deep and menacing voice. "You're not the only one with a human on your side…"
The next day, in Magnolia
It was one heck of a festival to say the least. Many people have come far and wide for this Harvest Festival. It was clearly a big deal, and everyone came to witness two things: the Miss Fairy Tail Contest, and the Fantasia Parade that is to happen later on.
Right now, people and all of Fairy Tail gathered in the Guild Hall to witness the contest. The members of the Guild were in the crowd, cheering for the contest to begin.
"The long wait is over ladies and gentlemen! Welcome to the one and only Miss Fairy Tail Contest!" A man on the stage shouted.
He was known as Max Alors. He was a slim young man of average height and beige hair that resembled a bowl haircut, and two large straight bangs covering the sides of his face. He had thin, dark eyebrows and dark eyes. Rather than his normal attire, he had a red bowtie and a white shirt underneath. He had on dressy shoes and a purple tux and white pants.
"I am Max Alors, and I'll be your host for this exciting event!" He shouted. Everyone was more than ready to see the contest, though some more than others. Gray was right next to Natsu, who was eating food, and was also next to Elfman.
"I'd expect to see Elfman here, but why you?" Gray asked Natsu, who was eating.
"Because he's a man." Elfman said.
"Because I can." Natsu muttered.
Nic was standing up behind them and looked on his hands in his pockets. He wasn't paying attention to them as he was awaiting to see, cheer, and root for his admirer; in fact, that's the only reason why he's here. He doesn't like to see people expose themselves just to win some prize, but for this, and Erza, he'll make an exception. He didn't mind really. Who knows? Maybe it'll be fun.
Sophie was right next to him, awaiting as well for the contest to begin. She personally wanted to see what these contests were like. Who knows? Maybe she'll like it.
"Alright, let's get started!" Max announced. "Contestant number one is the woman who can out drink you any day of the week. Please welcome Cana Alberona!"
Cana appeared on the stage behind Max and everyone cheered for Cana as she posed. She was in her usual attire, nothing new. Nic figured he would cheer for his friend, so he clapped.
"Yeah Cana!" Nic shouted in support of his pal. Cana shifted her gaze over towards him and grinned even more of the moral support. Cana then got out her tarot cards and had roughly eleven in her right hand and covering her face. The next thing anyone saw was her entire deck was spinning around her body, obscuring her from sight.
"And what might she be doing?" Max announced, seeing a glow from underneath. The light flashed and the deck was gone, and some men got nosebleeds from seeing Cana reappear in a swimsuit bikini. It was outlined in yellow, with horizontal orange and green. And she posed again.
"That prize money can cover my tab." Cana quietly said. Nic rolled his eyes, knowing she would be doing this for the tab; but still, she did look like she was having fun.
"Wait a go Cana!" Nic shouted.
Lucy peeked behind the curtain in envy. "She's doing a swimsuit? No fair!" She murmured.
Erza peeked under her with envy as well, seeing how Cana pulled out a sweet trick…and seeing Nic in the crowd. "That's not a bad idea." She muttered. "Maybe Nic would like it too."
Lucy was astonished to see Erza not only peeking under her, but was in this as well. "Wait, you're entering this too?!"
Erza then paused. "Whenever I hear the word 'contest', I get all excited." She said with passion. 'And I wanted to impress Nic a little.' She looked out and blushed slightly.
"And the chances of my rent died." Lucy wined.
Back on stage, Max had announced entry number two, which was Juvia Lockster. Nic clapped, knowing her as well. They were friends and respected the other, and she had her body transform into water. A wave enveloped her and when it vanished, Juvia was in a swimsuit bikini as well; only this time, it was all purple with periwinkle dots.
"And it looks like a fabulous day at the beach!" Max shouted, and Juvia was given a big applause.
"Look at me my beloved Gray!" Juvia said with sparkling eyes, though Gray didn't pay much attention at all.
"Another swimsuit?! This isn't a beach!" Lucy fumed, with Erza nodding in agreement.
"Contestant number three, her beauty spreading everywhere and everyone, and our model for Sorcerer's Weekly, please welcome Mirajane!" Max announced. Everyone then gave a big round of applause as Mirajane smiled and waved to the happy crowd. She then demonstrated her Transformation Magic by having her head transform into Happy, shocking every man in the crowd and leaving them comically falling over.
Nic laughed slightly at the reaction, but did find a little cute. "Not bad. Not bad at all." Nic remarked. "She knows how to make a crowd go nuts, that's for sure." Sophie laughed alongside Nic in agreement.
"Hahahahahaha! You're not wrong there!" She laughed.
She then did yet another transformation, and her face transformed into Gajeel, which made him spit out his drink in deep shock.
Happy joined in on the laughter as well, and Lucy had a hand over her mouth and tried to contain as much giggling as possible.
"Less competition for me." Lucy teased with a comical face. Erza nodded in agreement.
"Entry number four! The fairy queen who needs no introduction-!"
Erza and Nic both tensed up, knowing who was next. Erza then stepped out onto the stage. "That's my cue!" She then jumped and did a midair flip in the air and landed in front of the stage.
"-Erza Scarlet!" Max announced. Everyone there went crazy for her as she looked out.
"Geez, she's really popular." Lucy remarked.
Erza saw Nic, who was cheering ever so happily. She thought she would give him a quick wink just for the sake of it, and Nic began blushing. Erza felt amused to see Nic like this, and she liked it. She then continued to look at him for the most part. "Let me show you a Requip you don't see that often." She said, closing her eyes and smiling with pride.
"Requip!" She shouted, she then glowed and she then appeared wearing a goth Lolita outfit. It was a black skirt with black boots and black socks that went up to her knees. The arms had long black sleeves with white frillys on the ends. Her big chest had a white blouse and a red ribbon at the neck. Her hair was in a ponytail with a big black bowtie. Sje also had her bangs going down the sides of her face.
Nic was frozen. He wasn't sure whether to be happy or overjoyed to see Erza like this. One thing was certain – she was looking all too good.
"GOTHIC LOLITA?!" Shouted a shocked Lucy, seeing how her chances had died, yet again.
Erza looked at the audience and smiled.
She looked at a joyful Nic, who finally yelled at the top of his lungs. "ERZA! YOU'RE AMAZING!" Earning her a small blush and giggled slightly.
"Contestant number five!" Max shouted. "Petite and charming, her smarts are as big as her heart! Let's give it up for Levy McGarden!" Levy had her arms out and she was given a big round of applause, especially from Jet and Droy. She showed off her Solid Script Magic, revealing words that were made of the elements they spelled out, like 'SNOW', 'METAL', even 'FLOWERS'. She was given a joyful applause.
"Entry number six! The sniper that has her guns pointe at your heart, please welcome Bisca Mulan!" Max shouted. Bisca appeared in a magenta bikini, with her green hair going down her back. She threw four coins in the air and Requipped her shot gun, and aimed through all for at once. They all landed in between her fingers and she was given a round of applause.
"That's so hot!" Alzack shouted, blushing.
Sophie leaned in towards Nic. "This is actually pretty exciting." Sophie admitted. Nic looked over and nodded in agreement.
"No kidding." He commented.
"I just thought they'd be showing off their bodies, but I was wrong. Huh, maybe I should enter next time." She thought next time.
"Everyone would love your Magic." Nic commented. "I sure was impressed."
They then turned back towards Max, who announced contestant number seven. They then saw Lucy come out on stage, who was all nervous and such.
"Entry number eight!" A feminine voice called out, startling a few people. Everyone turned and saw someone walking up behind the other contestants. "I am the very definition of 'Fairy'." She said.
Nic then had a freaky feeling rising about in the atmosphere, as he narrowed his eyes in deep suspicion. 'Looks like Greninja wasn't wrong.'
The woman had pink sandals with navy blue stockings that went up above her knees. She had a fan with a furry tip in her hand and the hands themselves had green coverings that went up just beneath her shoulders. She had a green dress and her guild stamp was on her right bosom. Her light brown hair was in a sideways ponytail and she had light pink lips and oval glasses.
"I'm the definition of 'Beauty' as well. I embody everything this contest stands for; therefore, the winner is me. The lovely Evergreen." She said with arrogance.
The Fairy Tail Mages all look on in surprise, knowing who she was.
"Whoa, she's back?!" Gray exclaimed.
"Then that must mean Laxus is here as well." Elfman stated. Nic stood straight up in shock, knowing she was affiliate with Laxus. This must mean bad news all over.
Sophie herself was a little startled by this new. She heard about Laxus and his power, and from what she heard from the guild itself, he was an arrogant punk that you never want to anger.
Sophie turned to Nic. "I suppose we should start worrying, yes?" She sounded serious.
Nic nodded. "Yeah."
"Give me a break!" Lucy shouted. "I really need this prize money!"
"Lucy! Don't look into her eyes!" Gray shouted, but it was too late as Evergreen took off her glasses.
"I'm sorry, who are you?" Evergreen asked as her eyes glowed and Lucy gasped as she looked into them, she then immediately turned to stone, astonishing every person there.
"Lucy!" Sophie shouted. Nic grunted, unable to have seen a trick such as this. Everyone was beginning to panic slightly as Lucy was turned to stone.
"Everyone, evacuate!" Max shouted. In a moment's notice, all of the spectators ran for the exit in a state of chaos and hysteria. In a matter of moments, only the Fairy Tail Mages were left.
"Just what is the meaning of this Evergreen?!" Master Makarov demanded, walking up to her and looked down from in front of the stage. The curtain then rose from behind, revealing every one of the contestants have been turned to stone.
Nic gasped in deep shock as he saw Erza was turned to stone. "Erza!" Nic exclaimed.
"Mira!" Elfman exclaimed in worries of his sister.
"This has gone too far Evergreen. Return them to normal at once!" Makarov had demanded. They all then looked up and a sphere of lightning was in the air. It then shot down on stage, obscuring everyone's vision for a moment.
The light ceased, and revealed a certain arrogant S-Class punk. "Looks like the fans got up and left." He stated. "Pity, because the party is about to begin!"
Nic bared his fangs at him. "Laxus." He growled. Sophie herself grunted at the site.
"Laxus!" Makarov shouted. Everyone looked to their sides, seeing that two others were there as well.
One was Freed Justine. He was slim with waist-length light green hair. Two bits of hair was standing on his head in the shape of lightning bolts. He had blue-green eyes and he had a green guild mark on his right hand, just like Lucy. He had a double-breasted coat with cuffs and four yellow buttons. The waist had a belt and he had a sword sheathed.
The other one was known as Bickslow. He was a tall man with a dark cloth with vertical stripes on the upper half. His head had a tight hood, and only his face and hands weren't covered. The eyes were covered by a metal visor with eight elongated holes. He had large armbands and large shoulder ads with skulls in the center. His waist had a simple dark band, which held up a waist guard made of cloth. Underneath were baggy pants, each leg having an 'X' that reached down to his knees. They were tucked into light, armored greaves.
"Them too?!" Macao exclaimed.
"The Thunder God Tribe?! What the hell are they doing here?!" Wakaba exclaimed.
Laxus chuckled. "Come on, isn't it obvious? We're trying to have some fun!"
Makarov was heavily unamused. "We all want no part as to what you are trying to pull here." He then went wide-eyed when they saw a lightning sphere above Lucy's head. "Laxus!" Laxus gave them a warning by striking the bolt down a few feet from Lucy, making every member wince and grunt as his stunt.
"He's not messing around." Sophie whispered with seriousness still flooding her veins.
Laxus then wrapped an arm around Lucy. "I'm taking these chicks hostage. Break the rules and I'll shatter them one by one, or better yet annihilate them right now."
"If you're trying to have fun, you already killed it." Sophie commented. "What did they ever do to you?"
Laxus raised a brow at Sophie, looking slightly offended. "Oh nothing really. You wanna start a little commotion you stick?"
Sophie clenched her fists and really wanted Laxus to have a taste of her Memory-Make, but she knew better than to go no further or the girls would suffer. "You already did." She muttered out loud.
"Oh?" Laxus teased. "Well now that you mentioned it, I am starting a little event. The rules are simple; so simple that pink-headed twit can understand." He insulted Natsu. "The last person standing is the winner! It's The Battle of Fairy Tail!"
Natsu slammed a flaming fist into a nearby table. He was smiling. "Nice and simple, my style!"
Laxus was looking amused at Natsu's idiocy. "Glad you can see it my way. You got the right attitude." He said.
Nic and Sophie both face palmed at how ridiculous Natsu could get.
"He wasn't paying attention, was he?" Sophie asked, thinking she already knew the answer.
"Unfortunately." Nic said.
"That numbskull." Sophie said.
"Let's party Laxus." Natsu said, getting up. Everyone was looking at him like he was a fool, and they weren't wrong. "I've gotten stronger since last time!" He then charged at Laxus.
Laxus remained unfazed as Natsu was closing in on him. "Although…." Without even lifting a finger, he struck Natsu with a lightning bolt in midair, making him yell. "…that attitude is gonna get you in a world of trouble!"
"Ouch!" Gray remarked.
"Not very manly." Elfman remarked. Natsu plummeted to the ground, sadly out like a light.
"Poor guy, and he was just getting started." Happy remarked, hovering over his head.
"If you wanna have the girls back to normal, you're gonna have to defeat us first." Evergreen stated with a hand on her hip.
"But the odds aren't so bad. There's four of us and a hundred of you guys." Bickslow remarked before laughing, showing his black guild mark on his tongue.
"You have three hours before they're turned to dust." Evergreen stated.
"All of Magnolia will serve as the battlefield. The battle begins when and if you can find us." Laxus stated. A huge light flashed and everyone went blind. "Let The Battle of Fairy Tail begin!" His voice echoed about. When the light faded, Laxus and the Thunder God Tribe was gone.
Almost immediately, the members ran out in search of them. "Let's go and save the girls!" Elfman shouted. Everyone made it out, but the only ones who were still inside were Master Makarov, an unconscious Natsu, Happy, Sophie, the statues, and Nic.
"LAXUS! I WON'T STAND FOR THIS!" Makarov shouted as he ran for the exit. Just then, he face planted into an invisible wall that was at the guild entrance.
"What the?" Gray turned around and saw that Makarov wasn't coming out. "What's the deal?"
"A wall!" Makarov murmured. Gray went over and tried to pull.
"That's crazy! Come on!" He said, not believing it. It wasn't until he pulled that he saw Makarov still wasn't making his way passed the entrance. "What's the deal-?!" He then saw some lettering above the door. "What the heck? Is that some kind of writing?"
"It must be one of Freed's Enchantments." Makarov said.
"Enchantment?" Gray asked.
"A barrier formed by magic runes. Anyone who's inside is bound by its rules. The only way to escape is to follow them. These rules say 'Stone statues and anyone over the age of eighty years of age shall not pass.'."
"So you seriously can't break through, huh?" Gray asked.
"I'm afraid Enchantments are absolute." Makarov said.
Gray then took a deep breath. "Well, I guess it's up to us now. It looks like we're gonna have to fight without you gramps. Laxus won't get mercy for what he's done." He then turned and took off.
Makarov then turned around and saw that Nic and his pals were still there. "And why aren't you going?"
Sophie was curious herself. "Nic?" She turned towards her friend, seeing him standing still.
'Laxus…you are so dead.' He thought, thinking he had to save his future date, along with the others. He then turned, and then everyone saw Natsu wake up.
"Wait! Where'd everyone go?!" Natsu shouted.
Nic and everyone turned and looked at Natsu. "We're looking for Laxus and his Thunder God Tribe." Makarov explained. "Go find him and beat him!" Natsu was all pumped and then began to run for the exit and he had face planted as well. Makarov and Sophie and Happy and Nic all had shocked expressions.
"WHAT?!" They shouted. Then then began to see the status on the Enchantment. It showed a bunch of battles, with some winning and losing. It showed Alzack beating Jet and Droy.
"What are they doing?" Makarov shouted.
"It must be Freed and his Enchantments." Happy noted.
"NO FAIR! I WANNA FIGHT TOO!" Natsu shouted. Then he jerked himself, thinking. "Wait…" He then turned towards Nic.
"What is it Natsu? Did you find a way out?" Makarov asked.
Natsu then pointed a finger at Nic. "HAH! YOU'RE HERE NIC! THAT MEANS I CAN FIGHT YOU!"
"Are you serious?!" Makarov, Sophie, and Happy all exclaimed. Nic turned and looked at Natsu, disinterested.
"Stop it Natsu. This isn't the time." Nic protested.
"What are you talking about? This is a tournament, so now is the perfect time!" He then flamed his fist. "Yeah, now I'm fired up!"
"No, Natsu-!" Sophie tried to stop him, but Natsu leaped and was coming down at Nic.
"YEAH! IT'S ON NIC!" Natsu said, coming down at him.
Nic had a tick mark on his head. This wasn't good if Natsu wasn't getting it. He kept calm and transformed into his Stone Plate form.
"Enough you idiot." Nic said calmly. He created a metallic gold orb surrounded in yellow energy, via Smack Down. Without even looking, he threw it smack dab at Natsu's head, making him fall to the ground. Out like a light, he laid there…again.
"Does he ever learn?" Sophie sweat dropped.
"Even I can't answer that question." Nic admitted. He sighed and looked forward at the exit and stared outwards. "I may not know where they went, but that doesn't mean we can still try and stop them. Come on Sophie!"
"Right!" Sophie then ran alongside Nic as they ran out passed the Enchantment and into Magnolia.
Makarov looked on at Nic as he made his way through and was in deep thought. Erza and Natsu may stand a chance against Laxus, but Nic was still a mystery. He's defeated a bunch of individuals and still came out on top. Just where was his limits? 'Nic, perhaps you are the only one who can stop him.'
Magnolia
Nic and Sophie were entering town, and they haven't spotted any sign of Laxus or the Thunder God Tribe. They've been searching for over ten minutes, but no luck.
"Crap, these jerks are crafty." Sophie said.
Nic turned left and right, and still hadn't had a clue. He was still in his Stone Plate Form, and he wasn't sure what to do at this point.
A thought ran through his head. 'If I had enough experience with this Plate, maybe I could've freed them in no time…no, it's too risky. I might only make their conditions all the more fatal. We'll have to rely on defeating Evergreen to lift her Stone Eyes.' Nic then flipped on his sunglasses.
Sophie looked over at Nic, concerned. "Is something wrong?" She asked. Nic turned to her and cleared his throat.
"Sophie, listen." Nic said. "Our top priority is finding and defeating Evergreen."
She didn't disagree with him there, he was right. If she was defeated, then she would have to lift the spell, and that means Laxus wouldn't have any hostages to hold against them. Sophie nodded. "Right, but the problem is her eyes. I can't get close enough without become like your girlfriend." She kind of teased about the last part, though she didn't mean it.
Nic raised a brow and looked away. "For the record, she's not my girlfriend!" He scolded. '…I think.'
"Right." Sophie sarcastically said. "Anyways, the point being is that you are the only one who can stand up to her."
Nic turned back to her, back on the subject. "Alright, but be careful Sophie. I think if I remember correctly, Freed has Enchantments all around Magnolia, so best watch your step, and keep out of sight."
"I'll do my best." Sophie stated. "I'll lay low until I come across either Bickslow or Freed. You'd best do the same."
"Will do." Nic said. They then turned into different directions, with Sophie running through a wide alley and Nic easily leaping and running from rooftop to rooftop.
'Laxus.' Nic thought. 'Our little quarrel is going to have to wait. I'm gonna have to have a little talk with your little pixie puppet.'
Fairy Tail Guild Hall
Makarov and Happy were both watching the status change on the Enchantment, with multiple people having quarrels with another. Still, Natsu was out like a light due to Nic accidentally hitting him hard. At some point, he was bound to get up, and when he does, he would be pissed.
"Evergreen vs Elfman. The winner is…Evergreen." Makarov said out loud, disappointed slightly.
"I thought Elfman wouldn't have any trouble beating her." Happy said. "And look, it says Gray is fighting Bickslow now."
Makarov groaned. "And now Reedus is against Freed. This is bad." Makarov stated. "If Reedus is blocked off, then that means we can't save the girls with Porlyusica's help."
In a matter of moments, the status changed, with Reedus being defeated. "Oh no! Reedus has been defeated!" Happy exclaimed.
"Not even forty are left. How can this be?" Makarov was shocked that over half of the guild was defeated in less than forty five minutes.
"Are you surprised?" Makarov turned around at the sound of his grandson's voice. Makarov gasped seeing a vision of Laxus appearing. This wasn't really him, but an image.
"A Thought Projection!" Happy shouted, knowing what it was.
The projection of Laxus had his arms crossed and smirked, looking over his shoulder and seeing Natsu out at the moment. "Boy, that Nic fellow really knows how to shut up nitwits, doesn't he?" He stated.
"Laxus." Makarov said with a deep grudge in his voice. "Just what do you want?"
Laxus turned back towards his grandfather and smirked victoriously, making Makarov groan in disgust. "How's it feel to have your own children fight one another, hey geezer?" He said, rubbing the situation in his face. "Seeing your children tear each other up one by one. It sucks for you that Erza can't join at the moment and Natsu's already out for the count, it would've been a lot more fun with them. Without them, you can't stop the Thunder God Tribe!"
Makarov looked up, easing his disgust slightly. "I wouldn't be too sure about that Laxus. Have you forgotten about Nic?"
Laxus's smirk dialed down to a frown. He didn't say anything, but he knew he was right. He forgot Nic for a moment. "Oh, that Nic guy? Fairy Tail's own Luminous? The light of Fairy Tail?" He then got his smirk back on his face. "Well, guess only time will tell. Like hell he'll be able to stand up to me and my Thunder God Tribe."
"You're forgetting that Gray's still in the game! He can do just as much damage!" Happy proclaimed, though he wasn't exactly sure, knowing that Gray could hold himself well. Though he also accounted Nic's little…monstrous side. Happy was just trying to be positive.
Laxus raised a brow. "Gray, huh? You're seriously putting your faith in Nic and Gray? Those two losers?!"
"I wouldn't underestimate the two Laxus. Underestimating those two would be a big mistake on your end." Makarov pointed out. Just then, the status board changed, and sadly, it wasn't good. Gray was revealed to have been defeated by Bickslow, and there were only thirty or so remaining. The numbers were dropping fast thanks to the Thunder God Tribe.
"Uh, you were saying?" Laxus said. He then started laughing in his arrogance. "And you seriously thought he was gonna stop us?!" He continued laughing.
"Cheater!" Happy scolded. "You and your pals had to use some dirty trick to beat him!"
"Hey, don't look at me cat. I didn't make these Enchantments." Laxus pointed out. "Now, didn't you say Nic was gonna take the Thunder God Tribe down?" His smirk increased, highly doubting that possibility.
Makarov took in a deep breath. He was still, and he had little options. What was he to do? He couldn't do anything, and he relied on so many to take the Thunder God Tribe down. 'Should I concede? No, I can't. I won't have Laxus have his ways. I must not doubt Nic, or his new friend.' He then turned back towards the Thought Projection of his arrogant grandson.
"I won't give up Laxus." Makarov stated. "Like I said before. Your fault is that you can't even begin to fathom the full extent of Nic and his powers. He and his new friend Sophie are out right now trying to find a way to end this game."
Laxus still kept his confidence high, not believing Makarov. "Is that so old man? If you really want to end this, then just simply hand the guild over to me and retire." Laxus blackmailed yet again, but this was even more shocking, because it involved the future of Fairy Tail being under the control of a monster.
Makarov gaped his mouth in utter astonishment of Laxus's true goals. This has gone too far, and Makarov was a simple block that simply needed to be pushed over. "I should've known." He nearly twitched his eyes with deep scorn over Laxus's intentions. "This was your plan from the very beginning!"
Laxus had a very large and satisfied look on his face, feeling more pressure put on his grandfather. "There isn't much time left old man. Not even two hours, and then the statues will turn to dust. All you have to do is announce your retirement over the guild's loudspeakers all across town. That's your only alternative to end this." Laxus proposed. "Remember what's at stake here! What's your biggest concern, your children or your title? Choose wisely gramps." He warned as his Thought Projection faded away. His projection was soon gone, leaving a contemplating Makarov and a worried Happy, and out like a light Natsu, left in the guild.
"Laxus, I never cared about the title." Makarov muttered, knowing he wasn't there anymore. "I can never give this guild to you. You may have the strength, but what you lack is the heart and the conviction to run this family. Sophie and Nic won't let that happen. Both are new, but they're ready to stop you."
"We gotta act fast if he wanna save them." Happy said. "There has to be a way to turn them back from statues…" Just then, Makarov and Happy both heard some clanging and hardcore crunching from behind the counter. They both turned to see just who or what was causing the ruckus.
The crunching continued, and Gajeel appeared from behind the counter, leaning on the top and having bits of metal that he was chewing on. Gajeel turned and saw them.
"No way, you were here the entire time?!" Happy exclaimed. "Wait, you're eating the dishes too!" Gajeel couldn't care less what came out of Happy's mouth as long as something metallic went in his own. He stood up and finished swallowing his little snack.
"Gajeel." Makarov said, stepping forward. "Will you fight for Fairy Tail?" He asked very seriously.
Gajeel jumped over the top and stood in front of the counter. "Might as well." He grinned. "I got a score to settle with light bulb." He then began to make his way out of the guild. "Don't worry, I'll handle him." He then was stepping out when he face planted just as Makarov and Natsu did before, shocking Happy and Makarov.
"WHAT?!" The two exclaimed.
Gajeel groaned as he slowly pried his face off of the Enchantment and composed his demeanor.
"Are you secretly eighty years old too?!" Happy exclaimed.
"Do I look eighty to you?!" Gajeel retorted. Just then, the status board had changed, and everyone was eliminated, all but three.
Makarov was shocked. "Wait, there's only three left? That can't be. There's you and…oh no." Makarov had just realized the only ones left were Gajeel, Sophie, and Nic. He turned back and grunted. "Natsu, you fool! Wake up soon!"
"Hey, what about me?" Happy pouted.
With Nic
Nic was dashing along the rooftops, seeing a bunch of defeated Fairy Tail members below. He gritted his teeth at the unfortunate site. All of his Fairy Tail friend shave fallen at the hands of the Thunder God Tribe. No one had stood a chance against them.
Nic clenched his rocky gloved fists in anger. If you could remove his sunglasses, you would she sharp eyes that had a thirst for payback.
"Laxus, you and your Thunder God Tribe have done more than enough." He scowled lightly. "Hurting your comrades, blackmailing the guild, almost killing Lucy…I can name a lot of things to resent you for. I won't stand for this."
"Is that so?" A feminine voice asked from nowhere. Nic tensed up, knowing just who the voice belonged to. Internally, he was glad. He had just found his target; or in this case, she found him.
Evergreen appeared and pose on the opposite rooftop with her Fairy Wings folded. The street was under them, and they both glared right at the other.
Evergreen had her fan in her hand. "Well now, seems as though Luminous is my next victim. I can't wait to turn you into a beautiful statue." She remarked confidently.
Nic stayed calm, not wanting to make any outbursts so that he wouldn't waste his moves. He just grinned. "You know what's funny? I was just looking for you." Nic commented.
Evergreen folded her fan. "Oh really?"
"Yeah. I wanted to give you a little piece of my mind before I go and knock on Laxus's door." Nic said. "But it seems I'll have to ring the doorbell instead."
Evergreen was smiling and chuckled. "Well now, let's see how you fair against Fairy Tail's true Titania. Erza doesn't even deserve that title."
Nic narrowed his eyes, but was trying to be witty. "Really? You call yourself the Queen of the Fairies? You're more like a witch." Evergreen's amusement instantly died at that insult. She frowned and glared heavily at him. "You're never deserving of that title. I'll change Erza back to normal by taking a scum like you down."
Evergreen then unfolded her wings and began to slowly take flight above her rooftop. "Quite a pest you are, Luminous. Perhaps we'll see whose confidence lasts the longest."
I zoomed as quickly as I could through this update. I wanted to make up for lost time for these past couple weeks. I hope this chapter wasn't too bad. I had a heap of trouble writing out the last part because I didn't think that far,
Updates will be slightly quick thanks to the fact that I'm a high school graduate now, but they should remain steady because I'm looking for a part time job for the summer. Don't worry, I'll still be working on FanFiction on evenings.
