The drip drops of loose rain water hitting the cold concrete ground of the man's basement echoed in 3 people's ears. A man chuckled darkly.

"Good job, Lucy." He said as he took the NEB from her hands. James, the butler, stared into Lucy's emotionless eyes with pity written all over his hard features but he immediately snapped back into his emotionless facade as soon as his master turned to face him.

"James!"

"Yes master Neal." James responded straightening his back and sticking out his chest.

Neal shoved the NEB into James's arms. "Get this set up would ya."

"Yes sir." He said and scurried off into another room as a loud bang was heard upstairs, he pretended like he didn't hear.

Neal turned to Lucy frowning. "It seems that we have guests. And their friends of yours."

An evil laugh ripped from Neal's throat and Lucy shivered.

"Juvia hopes we have the right house."

"Me too." Agreed Gray. 'If we have the wrong one, I'm not paying for the door.' he proclaimed inside his head.

The small group didn't bother admiring the rich interior, Gray and Juvia immediately started following Natsu who was taking sharp turns down random hallways filled with doors. But out of no where, Gray slammed into Natsu's back while Juvia bumped into his naked one making her turn into several shades of red.

"Gray-sama. Your shirt."

"Again?" He exclaimed.

"I think you guys have something more important to worry about then clothing." Said a scruffy voice.

Both their heads snapped up, and spotted a figure glaring at them from the middle of the dimmed hallway. It was a man, as Natsu could tell with his special eye sight. It wasn't the same man he saw in that alley way but he most definitely stank like him.

The man snickered. "Welcome to my cousins mansion. I'm Nathan. Make yourself welcome. But I'll give you a fair warning," He smiled so widely that it looked like his face might split in two. "We are not very good hosts." He said in a sickly sweet voice.

He pointed something silver to the sky. "Open the gate, Damia!"

The little group stood there flabbergasted as woman appeared in leafy clothing and long silky brown hair that went to her waist. Her forest green eyes, scanned the room and landed on her contractor.

"You have summoned me?"

He nodded his head towards Natsu, Gray, Juvia, and Happy. "You know what to do."

"Dead or alive?"

"Do whatever, have fun with it." Damia scoffed but didn't say anything. The man just gave her a stern look and scratched the back of his head. "I'm getting a snack." He yawned and disappeared down the hallway.

Damia huffed. She raised her hands, hesitant, glancing one more time down the hallway her contractor went down and slammed her hands into the ground. At first, nothing happened but then the ground started to contort and move like waves, lifting the little group into the air. With each wave, they would go flying back more closer to a wall where the woman had performed some hand gesture towards and created a big hole. Gray noticed Natsu's face turn slightly green and him wrapping his arms around his stomach.

'You've got to be kidding me!' Gray thought as Natsu groaned as they were flung into the air again.

When they got closer to the hole, Natsu called out weakly. "Happy!"

Happy quickly grabbed Natsu's hand, understanding what he wanted. "Aye!" And lifted himself and Natsu into the air. Natsu's face immediately went back to it's normal color.

Gray was about to say something witty about Natsu's weakness but the waves had threw him and Juvia through the hole. The woman thrusts her hand towards the wall and the hole closes, trapping Juvia and Gray who knows where. The waves stopped and Happy put Natsu back on his feet.

The woman glared at the Natsu. "You should have just left. I didn't want to hurt you but I guess now I have no choice."

Natsu raised an eyebrow but before he could say anything, another voice spoke. "Then don't."

Damia's and Natsu's heads snapped towards the man standing in a doorway. It was Neal. He stepped slowly out of the shadows the hid him in the unknown room, he smirked at the two opponents.

"Take care of the other two would you please?"

Damia growled. "I only take orders from my master."

"And I'm the master of your master which automatically makes me have power over you." Neal popped his knuckles. "Now GO!" He commanded.

Damia huffed and gave him one long glare before recreating the hole she made earlier and entered it. Its closed quickly behind her. Neal switched his attention towards Natsu who's fists were flaming and he was giving him a death glare.

"Hmm. I remember you. Your the fellow who rudely stopped me in that alley. You looking for, oh who was it? Luigi? Linda? Hmm." Neal scratched his imaginary beard.

"Stop playing dumb! Its Lucy! Where is she? " Natsu yelled, infuriated.

"Ah! That's it. Shes not here. Now good day." He said and turned around, taking a step back towards the room he just exited from.

"That's a bunch of bullshit!" Natsu screamed and charged towards Neal, with one of his fists raised. But without warning, someone grabbed his forearm and yanked him back; slamming him in a pillar and knocking the breathe out of him. Happy cried out and flew to his friend's side.

Natsu blinked away the dizziness and shook his head. When his vision cleared, he noticed that who ever grabbed him was still attached to his arm. No. Its wasn't a person. Natsu blinked again. It was a long sleek black whip, coiled round his muscular arm like a snake trying squeeze the life out of it's victim. Natsu followed the long leather rope to the person wielding the weapon. There stood a blonde woman with deep brown eyes dressed in the same black attire Natsu had seen her last.

'W-What...? Why...?' Natsu thought, his mind going hey wire out of confusion.

Happy noticed that his friend's distress and whipped his small blue body around. Happy's eyes widened and he started tremble from the on coming sobs.

"Luuuucy!"
