"Finally!" Natsu yelled and fell of the boat. He landed on land,much to his joy.
After traveling for five hours,they finally reached their destination. With help from Wendy's dragon roar and Scorpions Sand Buster.
"Where to now?" Meredy asked.
"We are to find the council of Three Cities,located on the south end of the forest. Okay,I think I know where we should go,follow me." Erza answered.
"Yeah,let's go."Gray said.
"YEAH!" Natsu yelled,he was certainly happy that they arrived.
"Aye!" Happy agreed.
They walked for a while under Erza's leadership.
She stopped after walking for an hour.
She looked at her left,but nothing could be seen from all the trees in the area,then she looked at her right. The same sight.
"Didn't we pass through here like two times already?" Meredy asked,getting a little annoyed.
"Repeating possible courses is helpful to deduce the possible locations of our destination." Erza explained.
"Isn't that just saying "We're lost" In a more annoying way?" Lucy asked. Wendy,Carla and Meredy nodded.
"Hey,if you guys wanna tell Erza that,no one's stopping you." Gray replied.
"No,I still have many good years to live." Lucy responded.
"Me too." Wendy replied.
"I'm an exceed so I have more years to live than the both of you combined." Carla said.
"Yeah,Erza seems so focused and into this mapping thing right now." Meredy said.
"Hey Erza!" Natsu yelled.
"We're lost! What the hell are you doing?" Natsu yelled again.
"He went and did it now." Happy said.
"What was that Natsu?" Erza said after glaring at Natsu.
"U-uh,nothing. I-I must be still s-seasick." Natsu backed down,but it was too late.
"Oh,yeah? Then allow me to relieve you of your suffering." Erza said before punching Natsu's stomach,knocking him out.
"There,he can't cause any trouble anymore." Erza said with a devilish grin.
"T-that was pretty dark." Wendy said,frightened.
"Y-Yeah." Gray approved.
Erza tossed Natsu over to Gray.
"Carry him." Erza commanded.
Gray put Natsu on his shoulder.
"I did what was necessary. He was jeopardizing the mission and making us lose precious time." Erza said.
"Yeah,I think you were the one doing that." Lucy spoke so silently that she thought that no one could hear.
"What was that,Lucy?" Erza asked.
"N-nothing,E-e-erza!" Lucy yelled.
"Nice save,Lucy." Happy said.
Then after a while of walking,they finally found a building.
"We're here. The council of Three Cities." Erza said.
They walked in. They asked for directions to the chairmans office.
They opened the door to his room after knocking.
"Come in." The Chairman said.
And they did so.
"Hello,we're the mages from Fairy Tail." Erza spoke for the group.
"Oh,so you agree to complete the request?" He asked.
"Yeah." She replied.
"Then I'll tell you about the details." The chairman said after showing them chairs so they could sit down.
"About two years ago,the people who entered the temple started disappearing. We don't know why,but we sent search parties and the search parties didn't came back. Some people claimed that the temple was haunted and that the spirits of the dead were spiriting away those who entered the temple. This has caused quite a big problem for us.
"How so?" Gray asked.
"People who were afraid of the temple wanted to burn down the temple,to solve the matter quickly. But more religious people called them infidels and they opposed the idea. So the people who were afraid decided to relocate. This caused the workforce to drop significantly and our ports have been shut down. We need this problem to be solved right away." The Chairman explained.
"Yes,we understand and accept your request." Erza said as she and the rest got up from their seats.
"Thank goodness. One question though,why is that man unconscious?" The chairman asked pointing towards Natsu,who was on Gray's shoulder.
"He misbehaved." Erza said before they left the man's room.
With the map they received from the chairman,they found the temple in no time.
The temple was huge,and it was a pyramid. The outer sections were designed in a cross pattern so nothing inside could be seen from the outside.
"This is it." Lucy said as she was hugging Wendy.
"I-It looks pretty scary,doesn't it Lucy-san?" Wendy asked.
"U-uh,Horologium!" Lucy yelled and Horologium appeared and took Lucy and Wendy in.
"I have a bad feeling about this place." Carla said,after getting a chill through her spine.
"Y-Your intuition is usually right Carla,Is what she says." Horologium talked.
"Let's go in." Gray said.
"Yeah." Erza said and they reached the temples door. The door looked sealed.
"How do we get in?" Meredy asked.
"Should we bust it up? is what Natsu would say." Gray mimicked Natsu.
Natsu awoke after a second he said that.
"What was that,Gray?" He yelled before going back to sleep.
"If you don't have the strength to fight,then don't wake up you flame-assed moron." Gray responded.
"There's a switch here." Meredy pointed to a lever.
She pulled the lever and the door started to slide upwards and opened.
"Here we go." Erza prepared herself.
"Kanso! (Requip!)" She requipped into her Heart Kreuz armor.
The others prepared for battle too,except Wendy and Lucy. Who were hugging each other in the giant walking clock.
"Good luck guys! Me and Wendy will keep guard on the door. To make sure nobody intrudes with your fighting and nonchalance!. Is what she says." Horologium called as they approached the door.
"No,Lucy. I was thinking of making you our scout actually." Erza said,smirking.
"Dammit!" Lucy thought to herself. This trick never seemed to work.
