3 hours ago
After Marinette left, Lucy got out her Gale-Force Reading Glasses she put them on the she opened up Daybreak then the pages whizzed on by then after couple of minutes she was finished
"There is a secret in this book so I better take it back to Kaby so he can see it." Lucy whispered to herself then she snuck through the bushes, but she looked back and saw Marinette was handling herself so when she was in the clear she ran back to the mansion where Kaby was, so she entered through the backdoor and entered
"I know who you are Kaby." Lucy said
"Really who am I then?" Kaby asked
"You are the son of the famous writer who wrote all those Adventure novels Kemu Zaleon but you arrange all those letters around it spells the real name Zekua Melon, he was your father wasn't he.?" Lucy asked
"Yes, he was, and that book was what ruined him that he committed suicide and I his words it was called garbage so please give it to me so I can destroy it." Kaby said as he held his hand out
"Why do you want this book destroyed?" Lucy asked
"It started 31 years ago." Kaby said as he remembered what happened on that day
31 years ago
Dad! Where have you been for the past three years that you didn't contract me?" Young Kaby asked
"I'm giving up on writing, that book I wrote will be the last one I will ever write again." Zekua said as he sat down on the chair and sighed
"What do you mean and what book are you talking about?" Young Kaby asked
"I'm saying is I'm giving up on writing and Daybreak will be the last book I'll ever write." Zekua said
"Then where is the money we were promised if you wrote your new book?" Young Kaby asked
"There wasn't any because I didn't want such reward for a crappy book." Zekua said
"So, you stayed away for 3 years writing a book that you abandoned us, your family even you writing pride and honor, so screw your pride and honor, you are just a lousy father." Young Kaby said then before he left, he shouted the words he would regret in his adulthood
"You are an old fool that I just wished you would die so I don't see you ever again!" Young Kaby shouted as he stormed to his bedroom and slammed the door closed
"I didn't mean to be gone for 3 years, but you were in my thoughts the whole time I wrote that book and in time you will find out." Zekua said as he fell asleep in his chair
End of Flashback
"That was the last time my father was alive until he committed suicide over this stupid book so can you please give t me so I can destroy it." Kaby said as Lucy gave to him then Kaby got his lighter out then he flicked the flame and as he is about to burn the book Lucy stopped him
"Kaby look." Lucy said as she pointed at words that was forming
"What is this?" Kaby asked
"It seems like your father left you a hidden message in this book just for you, he must have used a spell to rearrange the letters, so it looks like a normal novel about adventuring but it's actually a letter to you." Lucy said as the words Daybreak rearranged to Dear Kaby.
"Dear Kaby, this book is to me so my father's worst book her ever written was..." Kaby said then Lucy finished
"His greatest work ever." Lucy said as she gave him a sad smile
"Your right this was my father's greatest work ever, thank you for no destroying this book, now I can return home as a happy man, come on honey we are heading back home." Kaby said as he collected his hat and they both left the mansion then Lucy left after them as she ran back to Everlue Mansion where she saw Marinette still standing outside.
"So that's what happened before I meet back with you." Lucy said
"At least we didn't leave empty handed." Marinette said as she got Virgo's gold key out and she passed it over to Lucy who caught it
"She's all yours now, so that makes your gold key count to 4 now." Marinette said as she fixed up Natsu's position
"Yeah, I have 4 gold keys now." Lucy said as she put Virgo's key onto her keychain
"So do you want to take the long way back to Fairy Tail or should we go through the swamp as our shortcut?" Marinette asked
"If we take the swamp, we can wake these two up from the smell so let's take the swamp." Lucy said as they walked through the forest until they made it to the swamp and the smell hit their noses something fierce
"Ugh! I versed some smelly akuma's before, but this is way worst." Marinette said as she covers her nose
"What were the smelliest you versed?" Lucy asked
"The worst one that I versed took me ten showers to get the smell out and that was sewer kraken a disgruntled sewer worker, so he was quite mad at how people throw away things that always clogs up the sewer pipes it took 3 days to defeat due to the smell he was releasing." Marinette said
"Do you know where he is?" Lucy asked
"Possibly with the other akumas are." Marinette said
"On our last job when we were saving Macao, we came across Yeti, and he made the snowstorm outside worse." Lucy said
"Yeti is a Senti-monster I released, maybe he was defending his territory since his amokatized object was possibly nearby." Marinette said
"He didn't look at all aggressive until the Vulcan told him to fight which he obeyed." Lucy said
"This is quite disturbing if the Vulcan had his object, then he possibly controlled the Yeti to attack you but what happened after that." Marinette said
"Well as Natsu came he kicked the Yeti through the ice wall then the Vulcan looked at something in his hand then he said useless then he threw something out the hole." Lucy said
"It seems like we might be going back to Mt. Hokabe sometime in the future to deal with the Yeti." Marinette said then Natsu and Happy woke up
"Seems like sleeping beauty are up." Marinette said as she lifted Natsu off her should and put him on the ground where he stood up
"Where are we?" Natsu asked as he looks around
"We are heading back to the guild after we got the job done." Lucy said
"You two completed the job without us." Natsu sulked
"Yeah, it was quite easy, and Lucy got a new gate key for the reward since there wasn't a reward to be promised." Marinette said
"What do you mean there was no reward, it said on the paper 2 million jewels as promised." Natsu said
"The person who gave it to us was poor, he was never rich to begin with." Marinette said
"So why are we standing here for?" Natsu asked
"Waiting for you to wake up so we can cross to the other side." Lucy said as she saw Happy has fallen asleep again
"How can you sleep due to this smell?" Lucy asked the little blue cat
"I'm used to it since Natsu doesn't wash any of his clothes." Happy mumbled in his sleep
"We have wasted enough time so let's get across this muddy swamp." Marinette said
"Yeah, no I'm not walking through that." Lucy said as she summoned out Horologium then she entered inside with Happy
"Your right Lucy I'm not ruining these designer sandal's." Marinette said as she transformed into Ladybug then couple of Ladybug wings came out of her suit then she went flying into the air
"You can fly, no fair she said in surprised." Horologium announced
"I'm a ladybug so of course I can fly." Ladybug said in joy then they made it to the other side as the suit melted away off from Marinette's body then they heard something in the bushes
"Who the fuck would be out here?" Marinette asked in vigilance
"I don't know but I'm going to fight whoever is in there." Natsu said excitedly as she ran into the bushes then they heard grunting then voices as Grey came out naked.
"Grey you are naked again." Lucy said as she pointed at him while covering her eyes then Grey looked at Marinette
"I know the drill." Marinette sighed as she made her hands glow pink then it went over Grey as new clothes appeared around him
"There, now can you tell us why you were hiding in the bushes?" Marinette asked
"Going toilet until this moron interrupted me." Grey said then Natsu went over to Grey to start another fight, but Marinette stopped them
"Enough you two, what is your real reason you are out here Grey?" Marinette asked as she crossed her arms
"Erza is returning home today." Grey said then he saw Marinette become happy
"Awesome I haven't seen Erza for 4 weeks now." Marinette said excitedly
"Who's Erza?" Lucy asked
"Erza is the second strongest mage in Fairy Tail after me of course but I let her have the strongest mage title instead so I let my enemies think I'm weak, but I hide my strength perfectly that I can defeat them, that's how I become an S-class mage alongside with Erza, Mirajane and Laxus." Marinette said as they continued walking towards their guild, but they were ambushed as Happy was grabbed.
"Where is Happy?" Lucy asked then she saw Natsu sniff the air then they went in the direction where they saw three people were about to cook Happy over the fire, so Natsu and Grey attacked them and defeated them then they tied up one to a tree
"Tell us why you tried to cook Happy." Natsu said then Marinette came over
"Let me do this Natsu I can make them talk easily." Marinette said as she stood in front of the captured mage
"How is she going to get information out of him?" Lucy asked
"You'll see, now watch her hand." Happy said
"How are you going to get me talk there is nothing that would make me talk." Captured Mage
"Really nothing you say." Marinette said as she smiled and brought up her hand that had an activated Cataclysm in her hand
"Do you know what Cataclysm do to an object?" Marinette asked as she picked up a stick
"No, I don't know." Captured mage
"It destroys, so do you want to know what would happen if it touched the human body." Marinette said as she saw the mage shook his head
"Let me tell you it isn't pretty the Cataclysm slowly destroys your body from the outside of your body to the inside and the only person who can stop a Cataclysm from destroying your body is me no magic will remove so you better tell us something before I put it on your skin." Marinette said
"There is a flute called Lullaby and we are going to unlock the magic seal that's around it and use it in heavily populated city." Captured mage blurted out
"Now that wasn't hard was it." Marinette said as she patted his cheek her other hand that didn't have the Cataclysm on it then a black shadow of a hand appeared then it took the captured mage away under ground
"Understandable someone would rescue him sooner or later." Marinette said as she shook her hand and the Cataclysm vanished from her hand then they continue walking to the guild
"Have you really seen what Cataclysm does to a body?" Happy asked as he landed on Marinette's shoulder
"Yes, the efforts take it's time to go through the body while it does that you will feel an excruciating pain from it but what I didn't tell him is amputate the infected area that way it will stop spreading through the body." Marinette explained as they arrived in Magnolia then they entered Fairy Tail where Levy called over Lucy to have a chat which Lucy went over while Marinette went over to the bar to order a milkshake
"Hey Mirajane, there might be a future ship for you." Marinette said then Mirajane walked around and grabbed her by the arm then took her into the kitchen to speak in private
"What do you mean there could be a future ship in the future?" Mirajane asked getting excitedly
"There was a couple of mages and one of them was a fortune teller and it told Grey's future about his future." Marinette said
"What did this fortune teller say about Grey?" Mirajane asked
"He said "I see trouble with water and women in your future" so he could be talking about a woman who could waterpower's or the same power as him, but we won't know until the future won't we." Marinette said
"Marinette how is it going on the Nalu ship?" Mirajane asked
"Slowly but there is some progress in the ship, talking about ships are you going to ship yourself with Laxus, I know he doesn't hurt because you are too valuable to him." Marinette said as she smiled at seeing Mirajane blush
"I don't know what you are talking about?" Mirajane said as she looks away as her cheeks blushed darker
"Don't worry no one except for me knows about your crush so your secret is safe with me." Marinette said as she patted Mirajane on her shoulder then she walked out of the kitchen then she walked over to a table where she got out the Grimoire about the Miraculous and she started to read it to see if she can find more powers.
In the city of Magnolia Erza was walking through town while carrying a horn that was on her shoulder and the towns folk were in awe as she walks towards Fairy Tail guild hall
