Wendy went through the portal, ending up watching Natsu's scarf getting pulled off its owner's neck and the knife getting aimed right at Natsu's neck. Natsu's eyes landed on Wendy and gave a smile, flames beginning to spark to cover his body. "You forget that I can protect myself," Natsu gave a smile.
The man backed up quickly, Natsu's scarf still in hand. Wendy began to use her magic to break the chains apart. They released Romeo from the wall and Wendy began to heal the boy.
Kyle watched and went after them, but Natsu was quicker and gave a flaming punch at Kyle. "You dare get in my way," Kyle gritted his teeth.
"Wendy, heal him and then get out of here. I suggest going out into Crocus and hiding in the forest," Natsu said, giving a series of punches.
Wendy finished healing and brought Romeo to the window. She shattered it and looked over, seeing the fall. "You sure you want to take the chance, girl," Kyle was picking himself up.
Wendy casted Vernier and Armor on both her and Romeo. Wendy pulled Romeo over, both of them falling. Kyle's expression showed horror. Natsu gave a smile and said, "They'll be fine. Wendy might be a bit undeveloped, but her enchanting skills are quite good," Natsu had his fists on flames.
Kyle gritted his teeth and slammed Natsu against the wall near the window Wendy smashed into and jumped out. He looked over to see Wendy had disappeared with Romeo in the streets. "I'll get you for that Salamander," Kyle now used Natsu's nickname.
"How?" Natsu asked.
Kyle held up Natsu's scarf and placed it over the windowsill. "No, anything,but that!" Natsu began to panic at the site of his scarf.
"Quit struggling or it really will go over the edge and disappear into the streets of Crocus," Kyle threatened.
Natsu gritted his teeth and stopped struggling, watching for a place to attack Kyle without his scarf getting let go and lost into the streets of Crocus. Natsu finally made an attack on Kyle, hoping that pushing him back away from the window won't lose his scarf. Though, he was slow in doing so and Kyle let go of the scarf and it flew out the window. Natsu tried to grab ahold of it, but it flew out of Natsu's reach. Natsu turned and gave an angry gaze at Kyle. "You'll pay for throwing the scarf that Igneel gave me out the window," Natsu growled.
"I'm sure I won't," Kyle gave a wicked grin.
Wendy used Vernier to get through the streets quickly. She had Romeo on her back, still unconscious. She wanted to go and hide as soon as possible so Natsu and the others could find her. Though, what she missed was Natsu's scarf flying in the air high above Crocus.
There were barely any knights coming and the amount continued to go smaller and smaller and finally, the last few were taken out. "Where should we go to now?" Jellal asked.
"We could go help Salamander out," Gajeel suggested.
"I think we can leave the rest to him. We should get out of the castle now and meet Natsu on the outskirts of Crocus," Lucy said.
"Natsu can deal with a few knights and the assassin like it's nothing," Erza said.
Nods of agreement went around. "Let's get going then," Levy said and they went back the route they came from.
They reached the base of the castle and went through the town in silence. "The brat's near here," Gajeel sniffed the air.
"Wendy?" Levy asked.
Gajeel gave a nod. "We should go to her then," Lucy said.
They found her and she had continued to heal Romeo's scratches. "Wendy-sama!" Yukino called out.
Wendy stopped healing Romeo and turned, seeing the group. The group ran up to her and Romeo, asking all sorts of questions. "Wendy, what happened?" Lucy finally asked and the group went silent, quieting their questions.
Wendy began to explain everything to them and her story ended with getting here. "So Natsu's fighting the assassin finally," Laxus looked over at the castle and at that exact moment, the top floor exploded.
Attention was turned away from Wendy and now towards the castle. "What's going on now?" Erza asked aloud.
No one would know until Natsu came back.
