Chapter2: The Two Maidens

Jura and Ichiya came to the group's rescue as the six disappeared and their captives into the very cloud of smoke they had stepped out from only a while ago. As they started to regroup and assess the situation, Ichiya brought out his specialty Parfum. "Take a whiff and let my Pain Killer Parfum ease your discomfort!" he stated.

"Wow, it really works… I can feel the pain just fading away…" Lucy commented as she sighed in relief.

Natsu got up and complained about them leaving and started after them, however Carla sprung up with some Aero magic, pulling on his scarf and making him fall backwards to stay put for the moment. "You mustn't be reckless! You need to calm down and think things through!" Then everyone noticed her small white feathered wings, and stared in awe, "You've never seen aero magic before? Well, in that case I guess it would be natural that you find it surprising."

Natsu simply glared up at her and claimed she was copying Happy, which she didn't miss a beat in denying, then informing them the Kuro had the same magic too. "Though I am concerned about the girls and that tomcat, not to mention Yuki and Kuro disappeared, this a not a foe to be taken lightly!" Carla said, then mentioning they need to have a plan of action and then turn everyone's attention towards Erza.

The midget's parfum spell didn't work at all on Erza who was suffering from Cubelios' venom. She held her arm as agony and pain like she hadn't felt before raked her body. The poison had started to spread from the original bite. Ichiya hopped-to, releasing a more concentrated version of his Pain Killer Parfum, which just seemed to make the pain worse from Erza's reaction to it.

Lucy gasped, "What…what'll we do?"

Suddenly the remaining redhead grabbed the blonde's belt, inevitably leaving nothing to hold up her skirt. Erza sat on the ground after tying the belt around her arm above the affected part of it as tight as she could, "Somebody cut it off!" she demanded with strained voice.

"At least give us time to find an antidote!" Grey protested, to which the rest of Fairy Tail there, and Blue Pegasus supported him. He and Lyon had a small bout until Erza fainted from the pain causing the group to refocus on the issue.

"We need the girls, they can save your friend." Carla finally spoke up again. "This is no time for us to be bickering, we need to work together to come with a plan to save Wendy and Akira, and I suppose that tomcat too…" the white cat said with a hint of annoyance to the last part.

"Wait a minute, you're saying that one of them has anti-venom magic?" Eve asked.

"Not only that but Wendy can cure fever, relieve pain, and heal wounds." The cat stated.

"That's crazy, everyone knows healing spells are lost magic." Sherry retorted, "There's no way those two little girls could pull that off."

"Wait do those powers have anything to do with the whole Maiden and Thief thing?" Lucy asked, referring to what Brain had called them earlier.

"Yes it does! You see those two girls are dragon slayers! And so is Yuki," Carla pronounced, "They are Akira the Ether Dragon Slayer, Wendy the Sky Dragon Slayer, and Yuki the Ice Dragon Slayer!"

"They… they're all Dragon Slayers?!" Natsu exclaimed.

Jura was surprised at this, 'Three Dragon Slayers in one guild? Just how many are there? However…what bothers me is how come we haven't heard of a guild with such powerful members until just recently.' He wanted to know why, however he was the most mature of the group so he refocused on the mission at hand.

Covered in dirt and pebbles, the aforementioned slayer was dusting himself off as he walked towards the group, "Did I miss anything? I heard a fight." Kuro helped Yuki pick off random branches and leaves, then he noticed two people missing, "Where are the girls?"

"Yuki you're okay!" Carla floated over, "Wendy, Akira, and the tomcat were kidnapped by the Oracíon Seís!"

"They were…what?" After Yuki had a fit, they continued to plan out their rescue mission with Lucy and Hibiki to protect and guard Erza while also acting as a base of operations.

Deep within the Worthwood Sea lay the ancient capital of a lost civilization, where a forgotten sacred cave was being used the Oracíon Seís' hideout. Brain threw his captives on the ground, not really caring if it hurt them. Happy spoke out against it, but Brain simply grabbed him by his head and threw him even harder onto the solid rock floor.

The three huddled together, Akira's arms around the younger two. She looked up, she was scared for Wendy and the blue cat because she knew she wasn't going to be able to escape with them, not if she had to face more than one of the Six right now.

"What's the deal? I don't get why either one of them is important…" Racer complained.

"Do they have something to do with Nirvana?" Cobra asked.

"They seem rather plain to me." Angel commented.

"The little girl uses what's called Sky magic, it gives her the power to heal others. And the young lady has the ability to absorb pure magic energy, that's called Ether magic." Brain stated, informing his guild.

"How is that possible?" Racer asked.

"Is it lost magic?" Angel questioned.

"One of the many practices forgotten long ago." Cobra commented.

"I can practically smell the money, oh yea!" Hot Eye smiled, Midnight snoring right next to him.

Cobra chuckled, "What good are a healer and a magic sponge to us?" after a moment he gasped, "Wait…you don't mean-?"

"Yes, they are the key!" Brain interrupted Cobra, "By combining their powers, we shall revive him!"

"Who are you talking about?!" Happy raised his voice.

"We won't help you!" Akira proclaimed, protectively hugging Wendy close to chest.

"Yes you will, there's no doubt. Once you find out who it is, Wendy, you'll be more than happy to help." Brain chuckled, then turned, "Racer, bring him to me at once."

"Will do boss, but it's so far it'll take an hour for me to get there and back." Racer stated before leaving.

"No matter…"

"I see, once we get him back we'll be able to find Nirvana in no time. You're doing your name proud sir." Cobra smiled. Brain then ordered Hot Eye, Cobra, and Angel out to find Nirvana, just to make sure all the bases were covered.

Happy looked up at the girls, "Be honest with me, you don't have any idea what these creeps are talking about do ya?"

Both girls shook their heads no, then little Wendy looked up at Brain, "What does Nirvana do? Please tell us that much."

The tall man gave them a menacing grin, "It's incredibly powerful, it swaps light for darkness."
