An hour into their trip to the northern Kaijo mountains it had come down to the same routine. Erza knocked the moaning in pain dragon slayer, Gray snickered at the
exchange before receiving a double glare from the girls as he had once more lost his clothing and was showing every nook and cranny off. Jesus Gray.. there is something
wrong with you.
Stumbling about in the small rail car cabin putting his clothes back on, atleast the ones he found and had even managed to scare the poor old lady in the cabin across from
them. Well.. scare was an understatement. He more so of pissed the poor old wrinkle bag off causing her to chase and hit him with her cane as he stumbled to put his
remaining clothing on and hide behind Erza as she tried to calm the enraged old woman down. Snorting and walking away the red head just turned with a smirk as she and
the busty blonde began laughing at the poor ice wizard as he blushed as red as Natsu's hottest flames before taking a nap. And where is the flying blue and annoying exceed
named Happy you ask? Why he had been holding a communication lacrima as he filmed, and showed the entire thing back to the guild back in Magnolia. Or atleast whomever
was still there at this time as a lot of requests had been coming in and out.
Settling down now, Natsu resting his head on Lucy's lap, the blonde's fingers softly running through the boy's soft salmon tresses slowly with Happy snoozing on her head
quietly. A low but soft purr emanated from slumbering slayers throat (OCC:for all you nalu fans out there cx) as he felt fingers gently stroke his scalp and ease his abdomens
pain. His fingers even going to clutch someone's free hand and nuzzle into it causing the poor blonde to flush softly but smile faintly down at her sleeping friend.
Gray was in his own little world as he froze part of the window and began swirling his finger around creating little shapes and new weapon designs that he would name in his
head and perhaps create for later times. Being a maker wizard was harder than anyone would ever let on as old weapon designs such as his excalibur and cannon were
growing against these new opponents they found everyday not everything he used to rely on so much worked. Perhaps it was time to learn a new art to help him fight? Maybe
he could use an actual weapon like Erza or Lucy. Sighing softly he just went back to his doodling and listened to the random names popping up in his head for his new designs.
Erza on the other hand was going through the report given to them by Mirajane and the master and was devising a plan on how to handle this situation. All they knew at the
moment was that a mysterious snow storm only started to happen after a loud roar filled the heavens and explosions begun on the mountainside near an old village in a pass
called The Frozen Crypt. She would have to assign everyone certain roles. Such as Natsu being point with his nose, Happy flying overhead to scout, Lucy using her keys to
bring Virgo or Loke out to help Natsu, Erza would continuously run scenarios through her head with Gray taking the rear. However as she begun to assign roles she realized
they were missing someone. Someone very crucial for this plan to work. Gajeel. Groaning loudly she smacked her head quite roughly against the metal beam that held the
baggage overhead with a loud THRANG and startled everyone except for Natsu as he continued to slumber.
Speaking of said dragon slayer, the iron beast growled low as he shook the train conductor wildly as he yelled in the poor mans face. "WHAT DO YOU MEAN THE FUCKING
TRAIN LEFT?! IT WASN'T SUPPOSED TO LEAVE TIL NINE!" As he continued to shake the poor man, Pantherlily, Gajeels partner and one of his few close friends just
shook his head slowly and polished his sword. 'Erza you better make this up to Gajeel.' Was all he thought with a sly smirk crossing his scarred muzzle with a light chuckle
leaving him before he begun watching his partner shake another conductor as the first one passed out. "Gajeel don't kill the poor man! We'll take another train, the
express one!" Just the mention of it had the wild dragon slayer pale before turning mildly green. His hard gaze turning to his partner before he grunted out a loud sigh
knowing it would be the only way to catch up to them.
And catch up they did to the others, Gajeel blue and green from his motion sickness and nausea, muscles once solid and strong now trembling as the iron dragon
limped out of the train. His exceed in his humanoid form as he helped to escort the sick man off the train so that they would not get trapped on it like before. An
incident to this day that still haunts Gajeel when he thinks of trains. Damn transportation demons. Covering his mouth with his hand, eyes closed shut as his facade
flashed in pain he held back the bile that threatened to come up. Taking in a slow deep lungful of air he swallowed it down and just stood still as his body adjusted to
the situation, soon letting him stand and move on his own. "When I get my claws on that red headed witch I'll-" Gak! Covering his mouth once more, a little too
soon to say sorry to his body, he hunched over a trash can and just emptied his stomach. Lily's nose scrunched up in disgust, his ears twitching before his head
turned to see the original train they were supposed to take finally arrive. This is going to be interesting..
