Hey guys it me with another chapter for you all. I know I said that I was going to skip the Tower of Heaven but then my brain was like "That was a really good arc." so it thought of some stuff that could work for the T.O.H arc. So I'm sorry for those that were expecting the next arc. Hopefully this chapter will make it up to you. Anyway I hope you enjoy the chapter and I will see you next time.

A few weeks have passed since the Loke incident. After all the drama, Leo had told the guild what he really was. After the long explanation everyone was satisfied and happy that their friend is now in a better place in his life. Before he left to go back home Loke pulled Lucy aside and gave her a gift for saving him. He gave her five tickets to the popular Akane Resort. Deciding to take a family vacation with friends Natsu, Lucy, Nashi, Gray and Erza packed their bags and left for the resort. While there the group had played at the beach, ridden all of the rides and simply enjoyed each other's company. The third night there Erza, Gray and Natsu decided to try their luck at the casino. Lucy not wanting to leave Nashi with the resort's child center decided that she was just going to spend the night with her daughter. As the two settled in for a bedtime story there were screams coming from the casino. Curious, Lucy and Nashi went down stairs to investigate.

When they got to the gambling room they saw all of the tourists trapped in cards, and saw Erza in the hands of a tall, masculine man. The man was with a group. The one of the guys looked like a block- headed gangster. The other male had blonde hair and a little tattoo on his jaw line. His skin looked like he had been in the sun for most of his life. The only girl in the group looked like a cat. She had two red marks on her cheek and cat ears. So you knew she was a cat lover. Nashi made a noise that alerted the group that they were there.

"Well look at this. It looks like we have a few loose fairies running around. Shall I put them down?" the block head asked the tall masculine one.

"No they are of no threat to us. Millianna tie them up." The man said.

"Okay Simon." The cat girl said. Two magic circles appeared below the girls and suddenly rope came up and wrapped around them tightly. The mother/daughter duo stayed like for a good fifteen minutes before one of the employees in the cards tried to cut his way out, which accidently poked Lucy. That gave her the idea that he could cut the binds, and free the two. After being freed, Lucy and Nashi started looking for the rest of the team. They found Gray leaned against a table not moving. They ran over to help him, when Lucy touched him his body began to crack and then his body shattered into pieces of ice. That freaked them out big time.

"Mommy you broke him!" Nashi shouted.

"No she didn't." A voice said. The two looked around and saw Juvia coming up from the ground.

"Juvia, What are you doing here?" Lucy asked.

"I followed you all here to make sure my beloved didn't get hurt and it's a good thing I came along or else he would have been killed." She said as her water-like body revealed the "beloved" quickly stood up and started to take off his shirt.

"Yes if she hadn't come when she did I would have been done for, but thanks to her I didn't get to find out what those guys were here for."

"They took auntie Erza." Nashi said in a sad tone. Gray walked up to her and hugged her.

"Don't worry we'll get her back in no time." He said patting the little girl on the head. He turned to the girl's mother.

"Do you know where Natsu is?"

"No." Lucy said. Just then there was a loud shout coming from the other room. The four ran into the room and saw Natsu sitting on the ground with glass shattered around him.

"Natsu!" Lucy shouted as she ran to him. He looked up just as she jumped on him and hugged him tightly.

"Daddy you're okay." Nashi said trying to run over to her father, only to have Gray pick her up before she hurt herself. The couple quickly got up and went over to their child. The family had a group hug, to relieve themselves of the worry. The hug ended quickly.

"We need to get going before they get to far ahead." Natsu said still holding his girls.

"Then let's get going." Lucy said.

"No Lucy you and Nashi stay here."

"I can't do that they have Erza."

"I know they also have Happy and I will get them back I can't do that if I worry about you two all the time while over there."

"I can take care of myself." Lucy said.

"I know that but you are pregnant with twins I don't want you three hurt because I couldn't be there for you."

"…fine but you better be careful." She said. He nodded and the rescue group went out to save Erza.

When they got there, the one visible entrance was blocked off by guards.

"Man now how are we going to get in." Gray said quietly.

"I've found another in but we will need to go under water for a while." Juvia said. The group decided to go that route, and they were in a different part of the tower. However there were still guards there and that led them to fight all of them. After a few minutes the guards were knocked out and they still didn't have a way to get. That was until a large stairway came out of a statue.

"Looks like that are inviting us in." Gray said, and the group when in. In another part of the tower a man was sitting on a thrown with one of his minions.

"Master, are you sure that it is a good idea to let them in?"

"It is all one big game, as I said before. I just want to make things more interesting." A man in with a hood on said.

"But shouldn't we focus on the ceremony?"

"Vidaldus how many times to I have to tell. There is nothing to worry about." The man said with a smirk.
