Darkness Rising

Episode 4: 2nd Nirvana Coalition

Lucy's POV

We arrived at Master Bob's House, where we met Lyon, Jura (Who despite not being a member of Lamia Scale had agreed to help.), Sherry, the Trimen, Ichiya, Rogue, Sting, and Yukino.

"So, where's Madison?" Yukino asked.

"I also wonder that, I want to meet her as well." Sherry said.

"The Master said he would catch up with us once she recovers. Wendy stayed behind to help her heal." I said.

"Correction, we're already here."

"How in the world are you already healed?!" Natsu yelled.

"I'm not sure myself, it didn't take much of Wendy's power to completely heal me. Either she is growing stronger, or somehow my body is managing to heal itself."

"For now, we should focus on defeating Eagle Heart's Core members before they manage to destroy us all." Hibiki said, pulling up Zara's picture.

"This is Zara, leader of the Guild, she's currently the most powerful wizard they have and the most dangerous of them. She's known to use Flame Magic and has strength rivaling dragon slayers."

"This is Urma, 2nd in Command of the Guild, and a powerful Ice Make Mage. And this is Sakura, a Water Dragon Slayer whose strength easily matches the others."

"And these 3 are the triplets Amy, Sarah, and Leo. Amy is a powerful enchantment Mage, while Leo is a Gun Magic User. As for Sarah, she uses both Lightning and Fire Magic."

"We'll spilt into groups and try to isolate them before we finish them off. Otherwise they could use the Princess to restart Nirvana." Hibiki Finished.

"We best be cautious, there is no telling what abilities they've gained from the Crystal's influence." Jura said.

"Um…Guys?" Wendy said.

"Yes? What is it-" I said before seeing…TWO WENDYS!?

"What in the world, how are their two Wendys!?"

"I'm the real one, I was going to treat Madison when I found she had already left!"

"How do you know she's not a clone or something, I'm the real Wendy!"

"Storm Shuriken!"

Suddenly, Shurikens landed around the 2nd Wendy and zapped her.

"Madison, what are you doing!?" Carla yelled.

"Ow! How did you see through me that easily!?" The 2nd Wendy said.

"That's why." Madison said.

"Alright then! SKY DRAGON ROAR!"

We all got blasted around as the Wind blew us all over the place. The 2nd Wendy then ran out of the building and fled into the woods.

"Well…Looks like one of them can create clones so realistic you can't even tell them apart from most people…" I said.

"That's bad. There's no telling how much info they got." Hibiki said.

"WHO CARES, LET'S GET EM!" Natsu yelled, charging outside.

"Wait! You don't even know where to look!"

At that point, we all got spilt up, and no one was sure where to go. I ended up with Madison, Wendy, Carla, and Hibiki, when we found Natsu, passed out on a raft.

"Natsu!"
"Heh…Pathetic, he wasn't hard to take care of."

"Oh Boy…It's a Gray Clone…" I said.

"Like my Creation?"

"Sarah!" Madison said.

Sarah stepped out of the woods followed by a Gray Clone, and turned to face us.

"I see you've met my little creation here, also, how'd you like my Wendy? Pretty convincing right?"

"Tell us Sarah, what did you do with the Princess!"

"If you want to know, try and beat me!"

MEANWHILE

Gray and Lyon had gotten separated from the others and ended up encountering Urma, while Levy, Ren, and Juvia had encountered Leo… The Battle was about to begin…

*EDITOR'S NOTE: Leo the Lion will be referred to as Loke to avoid confusion.*
