Chapter 6: Unexpected Company: Wendy Vs Natsu
"Wendy?" Natsu is surprised at the sky dragon's slayer appearance. "What are you doing here?"
Carla counters that statement by saying "What is that YOU are doing here?"
"You're trail was not hard to follow Natsu." Wendy says resolutely. "I followed your scent after seeing you leave Fairy Tail a week ago.
"Not to mention the trail of chaos and stupidity that you two leave made it even easier to find you." Carla adds to the argument.
"You're in danger Natsu." Wendy pleads to Natsu. "You need to come back home."
"Why should I go back?" Natsu says to the young girl. "I'm sorry about breaking my promise to you, but I need to get on that boat."
"This is much than a broken promise Natsu." Wendy adds to her statement "You can't go to Paradisium."
"Why not" Natsu says with impatience. "Whatever the reason is I'm still getting on that-"
"What's she trying to say is that if you go you will DIE!" Carla bursts out in fury and impatience. "I have seen it in a vision. I saw you die; you were impaled by a sword by some kind of dragon human hybrid. No matter what these elves tell you, you can't go to this land. You will never come back."
Natsu lowers his head calmly and says "I understand what the both of you mean." Happy looks at him sadly, but Natsu continues what he's saying. "Igneel gave me a job to do, and I mean to set it out and finish what he started."
Carla looks at him in mild disain; her face reacting harshly at Natsu's answer. Carla however nods at the young dragon slayer telling her to do what needs to be done.
"It's time for Plan B Wendy." Carla says to Wendy.
"You leave me no choice Natsu." Wendy says to the older dragon slayer "I will do whatever it takes to prevent you from dying, even if it means having to defeat you in battle!" With no hesitation, Wendy got into her battle stance.
"I don't want to hurt you Wendy, don't make me do it." Natsu says as he gets ready to fight.
"Natsu are you nuts!? You're going to hurt them badly!" Happy says in anger.
"I know but I just can't back down, from this fight either." Natsu sadly says. "Besides she's grown in her time at Fairy Tail, I can't underestimate her either."
"I'll fight alongside you but I don't agree with this at all." Happy says to Natsu.
"Natsu are you ready to leave?" Paris suddenly yells out to Natsu not knowing the situation that is unfolding.
"Get a head start and go without me!" Natsu yells back
"As you wish Master Natsu" with those words Paris heads inside and starts on working the instruments as the Ark floated next to old wooden pier.
"We have to stop him from setting sail Wendy!" Carla says as she picks up the dragon slayer.
To their surprise they found Natsu waiting in the sky as soon as Carla takes off.
"Where are you going Wendy?" Natsu asks " You wanted to fight me right? Then come and get me!"
Wendy disregards the taunt in a cool collected manner, and shouts Sky Dragon's WING ATTACK!" Wendy uses the attack twice, with Natsu dodging one and countering with his own Wing Attack. What Natsu didn't expect was Wendy and Carla coming through the flames flying at full speed in an effort to attack him.
"Watch out Natsu!"
"Sky Dragon's TAILSPIN!" Wendy spins in the air and unleashes a force of air that hits Natsu in his chest knocking him back and Happy almost loses his grip.
"That was strong Natsu!" Happy says.
"Yeah that got me startled a little. She didn't have to use Vernier on herself." Natsu says to Happy. "I can't back down now that I see her determination."
"Arms X Armor X Vernier!" Wendy shouts the enchantment that arguments her strength and speed and rushes toward Natsu. Wendy lands two Vernier enhanced punches that continue to send Natsu flying. Regardless of her determination Wendy herself would never dream of fighting her guildmate and her idol.
'This is the hardest battle I ever had to face.' Wendy thinks to herself. 'Why can't I bring myself to hurt Natsu?' Her thinking got her out of focus giving Natsu the opportunity to land his Wing Attack in front of her. 'Still his life is on the line and I…. I won't abandon a friend to his death!
"Please Wendy turn back now!" Natsu for the first time since the battle's start has pleaded for Wendy to stop. "You don't need to put yourself in harm's way again!"
"Even if you told me a thousand times, I won't stop until I bring you back Natsu! I'm a Fairy Tail Mage and I'll never give up in anything even on my friends!" Wendy replies with a strong resolution. Despite her strong will, fatigue began to set in as she becomes more reckless with her strikes.
'She's losing strength.' Natsu thinks to himself. She only has energy for one last attack. Still I'm impressed Wendy, but this battle is mine.' Natsu gathers the fire in his lungs and preps the attack that will end this battle.
"He knows I'm slipping Carla." Wendy says to her partner.
"Go all out Wendy. Convey your will to save him!" Carla assures her partner to keep fighting.
"You're right." Wendy musters up the last of her energy and conveys it into one attack:
"Sky Dragon's-"
"Fire Dragon's-"
"ROAR!"
The force of both roars clash together in a stalemate. The force of Wendy's roar beats back Natsu's Fire slowly but gaining momentum with every small push. To Wendy this felt like climbing stairs with so much resistance pushing her back.
Wendy says to herself. 'I won't give up now!'
'She really has gotten stronger.' Natsu says to himself yet again. 'But I can't let her win.'
IT was then Natsu began to push back her will infused roar with his own and it was only a matter of time before the roar overwhelmed Wendy and Carla in a bad blast that sends them falling into the sea.
"WENDY!" Natsu exclaims in a loud voice. "Happy let's get them now!"
"AYE Natsu!" Happy wastes no time in flying as fast as he could to reach them. They were too late as their bodies hit the ocean and began to sink into the sea.
'I'm sorry everyone I failed to bring him home' Wendy thinks to herself in what appeared to be her final moments. 'I'm sorry I couldn't save you Natsu.'
Lucy comes into the guild hall for another mission in order for her to pay for her unusually outrageous rent. To her dismay she did not find the guild hall destroyed or any brawls occurring. She goes to the usual spot where Team Natsu gathers and finds absent again.
"No Natsu again?" Lucy puts on her hand on her chin and ponders this odd event. She asked around the other mages for whereabouts on Natsu only to find out that he supposedly went out on another quest for Igneel. Others said he went out on a journey, and most of the other mages didn't even know he left.
"I can't believe this. The most noticeable mage in Fairy Tail leaves without a trace and doesn't even say a word?" Lucy's train of thought was broken by the sudden arrival of Gray who had a wad of paper in his hand.
"Hey Gray. How's your morning?"
"It's alright but you look a little upset. It's Natsu again isn't it?" Gray asks his friend.
"He didn't leave a note or anything." Lucy says to Gray "It doesn't make any sense at all."
"I'm sure the idiot will be fine; to me it's not his first time being away looking for dragons ." Gray assures Lucy recalling so many times Natsu left the guild for a while, but he always returned. Gray shows the piece of parchment he had carried with him. "Besides did you even check his house? He left this tied to the front door."
Lucy blushes in embarrassment at not checking the first place he would be at. "Not really since he you know comes to my house almost EVERY day."
"If it gives you any peace of mind it says that he went to go find Igneel again."
Lucy reads the parchment and sighs in defeat. "I guess you're right I was wrong to get worked up about it."
"Lucy Gray I'm glad you're here, we have an important announcement coming from the master in 15 minutes." Erza said as she walks to the table with a look of dread on her face. She looks around and to her anger she doesn't see everyone assembled. " Natsu is not here AGAIN!"
"Nope he's still searching for Igneel." Gray says nonchalantly.
"This is a serious matter if he is NOT here. We're also down another member." Erza says in worry.
"What do you mean another member?" Gray asks the red haired mage.
"Haven't you noticed that Wendy and Carla are missing?"
"HOLY CRAP she's right!" Lucy says as she reconizes who else is missing. "But I thought you said she was out sick."
"That's what I thought too." Erza sighed sadly. "We checked on her this morning after realizing she was not showing up to breakfast. I can't believe we didn't even notice she went on a journey too."
"Do you think she went with Natsu to find the dragons again?" Lucy adds more to the possibility of Wendy going with Natsu to find their foster parents.
"I don't know but whatever the reason they left at such a crucial time." The master needs all available mages for what is supposed to be a high level mission.
"What ranking is it?"
"From the details it is an S-class joint mission." Erza puts emphasis on joint.
" Is it another dark guild takedown?" Lucy asks the Requip mage.
"No this is not like the mission against Oracion Seis. Master says this will be a militia of mages organized by the ten wizard saints themselves." Erza says with a hint of fear. "If the Wizard Saints are involved in this then this situation is bad."
"It must be since they want a militia; not just an alliance." Gray says as he sips on a glass of water.
Lucy begins to ponder the most recent events happening one right after another. ' So a militia is being formed and Natsu and Wendy suddenly go on a journey? Something doesn't add up and it's not like Natsu to miss out on something like this.'
"Lucy what's on your mind?" Erza asks her blonde friend.
Though she wanted to voice her concerns apart of her conscious tells her not to and bites back the words she wanted to say. "It's nothing I'm fine."
"It's Natsu isn't it?" Erza asks again.
"Yeah but in a way it's unrelated to our current predicament." Lucy says in assurance.
"Can I have everyone's attention please!" Mirajane speaks loudly to the guild hall. Everyone drops what they're doing to hear Mira's words.
"Master would like to announce something to the guild hall. Please give him your attention."
She says the words on her mind and gives the floor to Makarov.
"Thank You. As you know the Magic Council is currently rebuilding itself and the Ten Wizard Saints have been chosen to lead the guild halls in their absence. We have been holding meetings as of the past few weeks. Unfortunately one of the saints had a vision of the future….. and it involves all of Earth-Land itself. "Makarov's look becomes grim as he continues his dark speech. "It involves the land of Paradisium; the origin of all life."
In an uproar all of the guild members present argued with Makarov and one another while other members like Gajeel we're indifferent to the bickering that was being told.
"ENOUGH!" Makarov says aloud. "To answer all your questions, yes Paradisium is real and not myths like what most people think. It was kept away from public knowledge because of a war occurring 1000 years ago. Only three bodies of power know its existence; the ten wizard saints, the Magic Council and the Fiore Government. The Wizard Saints only play a small role as each saint guards the only piece of proof that Paradisium exists."
" Paradisium; the land where all life was supposedly created, and the lost promised land." Levy says to the group. "So the legends are true."
"Yes Levy it is. It's been kept secret for hundreds of years."
"Why is it a secret?" Levy asks Makarov.
"To our knowledge we don't know why it was kept secret. The secret died with the original owners of the maps. We only know that it exists and that we must guard this."
Makarov holds a chest in his hand and shows it to the guild for everyone to see. "This chest contains a map to Paradisium and how to find and get to its location. We as the Wizard Saints have agreed to make a defense militia to combat the oncoming threat before it arrives to our land. We are the first defense for Earth-Land."
"Are we going to travel to Paradisium? Macao asks Master Makarov
"No we are only to provide defense to our land. If we however should change our strategy this will tell us the location of the map. BEHOLD!"
Makarov opens the chest containing the contents of the parchment, and panics when he discovers nothing is there.
"Where did the map go?" Makarov's asks around the guild hall. Each mage only shook their heads as Makarov continued his questioning. The only one he didn't notice at the meeting we're either Natsu or Wendy.
"Has anyone seen Natsu or Wendy today?" Makarov asks the crowd again.
"He went on another journey to find dragons again." Gray says out loud. "I think Wendy tagged along with him for company."
"Oh no" Lucy begins to put the pieces together and a theory formed in her head about the missing parchment.
"What if Natsu stole the map Erza?" Lucy whispers in Erza ear as she continued to ramble on about her theory. "Think about it for a moment; Natsu suddenly leaves for two weeks without telling anyone save for a note. Wendy might have been an accomplice to him."
"Plausible, but why would Wendy out of all people be an accomplice? She knows better than to go to steal something from the master let alone help an idiot like Natsu help steal it." Erza continued to whisper into Lucy's ear. "Besides if she did Carla would not allow it to begin with considering her nature."
"Lucy? Erza? Is there something you want to say to the rest of the guild?"
"Sorry master we were just discussing who stole the map." Erza bows her head as an apology for speaking when the master was speaking.
"Who do you think stole the map?" Makarov asks the re-quip mage?
"I think it was Natsu master." Lucy answers the older mage with a strong voice, only to have it deafened by a sea of laughter from the guild. Only Lucy, Gray and Erza remain unamused as they try to put Natsu and the old parchment together.
"Gramps this is serious. How come you don't expect Natsu?" Gray's reasonable tone with the master doesn't faze his laughter as he continues to treat it like a joke.
"Master, Natsu may be dumb but he has been capable of this before." Erza
"He started the guild hall fight that day. There is no way he could have stolen the map." Says Macao as he tries to wipe the tears that came down in face in laughter.
"He didn't have to steal it, someone else did." Lucy adds more to the already brewing pot that is Natsu's attempt at thievery. "Who wasn't on the floor when Natsu instigated that fight? It's the only person small enough to get in and out undetected."
"Fuckin Happy." Gray says out of his mouth. He facepalms himself as he thought about how much trouble Natsu would be in, though in his mind he had suspicions about Wendy helping him steal the priceless parchment.
Soon the joyful moment of laughter came to an abrupt end, as Makarov fit the pieces together. Finally it clicked and all you could see on his face was only red as he becomes enraged at the situation Natsu has put the guild into.
'Normally this is a proud moment for me that I figured something out' Lucy says to herself as she makes mental notes of Makarov's now aggressive behavior. 'But I think I just got us into even more trouble.' Lucy could only sigh at her partner's stupidity as he now just invoked the master's wrath.
"NATSU!"
'Where am I?' After three days of unconsciousness Wendy slowly opens her eyes and finds herself looking at a wooden ceiling. The room was no larger than an inn she rents out for the night. She observes the empty room as she tries to make sense of her surroundings. 'I think…. I must be on the ark.'
"Carla?" Wendy calls out for her friend, but before she could try to find her friend, a knock comes from the door startles her.
"May I come in?" the person says from outside the door. "I've come with some food."
Wendy looks at her clothes to see that she was wearing a small white dress with green lines wrapped around. Her original green dress and sandals were folded and put by her bedside.
"Yes you may come in." Wendy says to the voice. "You're the captain of this ship. Do you know where my partner Carla went?"
"Your cat companion is with the blue one named Happy. She's on the top deck waiting for you to wake up." It was Paris as he sets the food down on the floor. "I am sorry we don't really have a table here."
"It is alright thank you very much for the food." She stands and she bows to Paris. "My name is Wendy nice too meet you."
"My name is Paris nice to meet you as well." Paris returns the bow to Wendy impressed with the respect she has given. "I like your manners Wendy. I don't see many of it on humans."
"Thank you Paris." Wendy smiles and proceeds to say "Thank you for saving me, and giving me a change of clothes Paris."
Paris could only smile as her words of gratitude moved him. "I appreciate the gratitude Wendy, but I didn't save you."
Wendy face becomes confused as she continued to listen to Paris's story.
"I saw you fall during your battle with Lord Natsu. The currents would have sucked you in and you would have drowned. I was about to go and rescue you until I saw Natsu dive deep into the water." Paris continues his story while adding hand motions to describe his story better. "I asked him why you saved her when she tried to stop you. His only words were I don't abandon my friends. He proceeded to revive you, and well it did work. I just provided you with the spare dress I had from when my daughter was young; You can keep it if you like."
She thought about the words Paris said. In an instant her face turned red as she realizes the meaning of his words. "I- I see." Wendy gains her composure and asks "Where is he now?"
"He's groaning like a beaten up Vulcan right about now. Why is he like this when it comes to ships?"
"Natsu has always been prone to motion sickness. It's a weakness all dragon slayers have." Wendy informs him. "I am a dragon slayer too but I guess I'm too young or not as powerful to suffer from these side effects."
"I see now. He does have the traits of a dragon in him. I would let you go and see him, but in his condition I don't think he can respond let alone carry a conversation."
"Don't worry Paris I have something that can help him." Wendy doesn't touch her food, but instead takes it with her. "You can take me to Natsu."
"Oh please Happy!" Carla is yelling at the blue cat as they discuss the situation of… the pink haired hero. "What else do you have to say for your incompetence now?"
"I'm not dumb Carla I just did what I was told to do….. by Natsu!" He points to the limp figure that is Natsu groaning from the pain of his motion sickness.
"Still what you did was really wrong! You stole a map from the Master of ALL people!"
"It's the only one who we could get Carla!"
"Still you're in major trouble and in danger! Did you not understand my vision? You will both die if you go any further on this crazy journey."
"This means a lot to Natsu and you know it!"
"It's not what it means to Natsu it what will happen to him. What good will come of his death Happy?"
"If we don't do this more people will die not just the people of Paradisium but everyone in Earth-Land too." Happy continues his argument with the female exceed despite her refusal to listen to his pleas. "If we die the whole world dies with us. It's not as easy as it looks."
Carla refuses to listen, until the door opened revealing Wendy and Paris as they help bring more food.
"Wendy you're okay!" Happy yells out to the young dragon slayer and flies over to her. "I'm so sorry we hurt you Wendy!"
Wendy could only hug the blue exceed and say "It's okay Happy. I'm just glad you're okay too."
Happy cries in joy while Carla only becomes more frustrated with the blue exceed even more.
"Could you help Natsu with his 'problem'?" Carla asks Wendy for aid. "His moans are getting annoying
"Yes of course. I've been working on a more powerful version of Troia recently, and it might be able to help." Wendy comforts Happy as she takes Natsu's head and puts her hands in his temple area and prepared to cast her spell
"TROIA REDUX!"
It wasn't long before Natsu's contorted face felt relief and eventually rose to life as his motion sickness has been cured (temporarily)
"Yeah! I'm back baby!" Natsu's energy courses through his body; he dances around with wind beneath his feet as he "overcame" his motion sickness. He continues to dance until he sees Wendy and becomes crestfallen as he sees her smile.
"Hey Wendy" Natsu's tone became sad as he remembers the battle that had transpired between them. "You doing okay?"
"Yes I'm okay." Wendy's smile held no trace of anger for Natsu, it was only relief that he was fine for now.
"I'm sorry for hurting you Wendy." Natsu says to her softly
"I-It's okay Natsu really." Wendy bows in apology. "If anything I'm sorry too!"
Natsu could only rubs her head and says "You didn't do anything wrong Wendy. I got you hurt cause I didn't want to come back."
Natsu stops ruffling Wendy's hair and she looks up at him wearing his trademark goofy smile.
"I got you hurt and involved I guess I messed up on both." Natsu says to her as he looks into her eyes.
"I'm glad you're always thinking about me and my well-being Natsu." Wendy says happily but becomes serious. "But we're Fairy Tail we always protect our friends; isn't that what you taught me to do Natsu?"
Natsu felt proud that his "Student" is learning the ways of Fairy Tail. "It's different this time Wendy." His smile faded "This is a mission that was given to me by Igneel. I can't let him down ya know."
"Could you tell me about it?" Wendy asks the older dragon slayer. "No secrets this time."
"Alright"
After Natsu's explanation, Wendy understands the predicament he's in. For her however it leads to more questions than answers about how and why he did it.
"Even if it was a message why would you do this Natsu? You promised you wouldn't leave us and here you are breaking that promise. Why didn't you take us with you? " Wendy is more sad than angry at Natsu's actions despite her understanding.
"They're not going to agree with it you know what I mean? They would be more likely to stop me than to go along with me." Natsu then points at her for the actions she did "Like when you tried to stop me from boarding the boat."
"Because I don't want you to die; I take Carla's precognitions seriously. It also came up involuntarily so I know that's not good either." Wendy pouted at Natsu.
"Yeah" Natsu mutters under his breath "Paris is there any way to turn the ship around?" Natsu focuses his attention to
"I'm sorry but I can't do it right now it's a one way course from here and if I turn even slightly we get thrown into the storm." Paris
"Damn so you're stuck til we get to the other side." Natsu curses under his breath.
"Anyway, So what will happen to earth-land if you fail or don't go?" Wendy says as she sat down to eat resuming the conversation she had with Natsu.
"It will be blown sky high, and the destruction of Earth-Land will be greater than the one that was in future Lucy's time." Natsu sat down with her taking a bite of his food. "It's why I did what I had to do to keep the guild from getting involved and finishing what my dad couldn't."
"I see now." Wendy says as she continues eating.
Carla looks over and sees her lost in thought 'I know what you're thinking Wendy. You want to help him.' She doesn't say much as she goes over to Wendy's side and Wendy gives her a piece of bread to eat.
"Well I need to go check our bearings so I'll be right back." Paris leaves the room to return to top deck. The dimly lit room becomes quiet as both dragon slayers and their exceed partners ate in silence.
"It wasn't much but it still hit the spot." Natsu says to Wendy.
"Yeah, it wasn't like Mira's bread but it was good."
The idea of home makes Natsu feel saddened and his face reverts to a depressing look.
"What's wrong Natsu?" Wendy asks the mage.
"I just miss home that's all." Natsu says solemnly. He never would have thought he would miss home this much. "I just don't want to forget where home is you know."
She puts her hand on his heart. "Home is where you're friends are Natsu. Don't forget it."
Carla and Happy smiled at Wendy's words. Despite all that has happened Wendy still considers Natsu her friend and comrade in arms.
"Yeah" was all Natsu could say before the nausea hit him. He slumped to the floor unconscious as he muttered "Aw man, not again."
After a five day journey from Earth-Land, The Ark finally makes it through the other gate and stops in a huge cavern with a pathway leading to the surface. The normally dark cavern is lit by the light shining through the open gate showing the blue water and the brown sand leading up. Natsu finally makes out of the ark (after being dragged off by Paris and Happy.)
"Well Paris I guess this is later for now." Natsu's face returns to normal and his expression livens up the group.
"Yes until we meet again Natsu take care of yourself." Paris gives him a handshake.
"I will." Natsu smiles and turns his attention to Wendy who has a look of disappointment as she looks at Natsu.
"Take care Wendy, don't take it the wrong way. I will come back promise." Natsu gives his usual smile letting her know it's okay.
"Yeah be careful." Wendy couldn't bring herself to truly smile as the consequences kept coming back into her mind and the possibility of not seeing Natsu again clouded her judgement.
'But what if he doesn't come back? What if it isn't okay?' She thought about it over and over as she saw Natsu walking away further away from her sight. 'What if he really does die?'
"I'm sorry about not returning you right away Miss Wendy. I'll take you back now as arragned by Natsu."
"I'm sorry Paris but I won't be going back." Wendy says affirmatively
"I guess your mind really was settled after all child." Carla in her way approved of her decision to follow Natsu.
"Are you sure? It won't be awhile until you come back."
"It's alright Paris; I know what I need to do now. I don't want this…. To be the last time I'll see him again." A tear rolls down Wendy's cheek as she strengthens her resolve. "Natsu is a person who needs his friends more than ever, so I'm going to be that friend for him."
"I admire your loyalty to your friends Miss Wendy. I'm sure Natsu will in some way need you before the end." Paris smiles and courteously bows to the young mage. "May you have a safe journey Miss Wendy and Miss Carla."
"May you have a safe journey home Paris." Wendy returns the bow and runs as fast as she can towards Natsu.
"Was it alright to just leave them behind Natsu?" Happy asks his father figure.
"Yeah it was, but I know she wasn't okay with it. It is still better than having her in danger." Natsu replies back. "I know she can take care of herself, but the last thing I need is to have her in danger cause of something bad going down."
"You don't believe in her?" Happy asks his friend again.
"It's not that I" Natsu suddenly stops in his tracks hearing a faint voice echo throughout the cavern.
"That voice" Natsu mutters as the all too familiar voice gets closer and closer to him. Without thinking he runs back in the opposite direction; his fire leading the way down and one foot readily dashing into the sand.
"NATSU!" To his surprise and amazement Wendy and Carla come up to him; Wendy catching her breath as she mutters his name.
"Natsu, I… I want to go with you!" Wendy tries to catch up with Natsu.
"Why did you come Wendy? I thought I told you to go back home."
"I want you to keep your promise to me Natsu, and I want to be there for you!" Wendy says as her breathing became normal. "You always told me to be there for your friends, and I'm going to follow what you taught me."
"You can't just cast us aside after coming this far flame headed idiot of a dragon slayer. After all we want you alive so were going to help you out." Carla once again being supportive in her own way tells Natsu that they aren't looking back and they're going to help him finish this mission in one piece.
"I don't know what lies ahead of us Natsu, but we'll face it together as a team." Wendy smiles at him and says "Because we're mages of Fairy Tail. We don't abandon our friends in their moment of need!"
Natsu felt proud of her not just as a student, but as a friend. On the inside Natsu is overjoyed that Wendy chose to come regardless of punishment. In the end he finally has his friend to help him.
"I'm glad to have you with me Wendy." Natsu mutters as a tear rolls down his cheek. "You too Carla."
"Hmph you better be glad Natsu." Carla says to Natsu.
After an hour of walking Natsu, Wendy Carla and Happy finally see light at the end of the long cavern.
"All right we made it out guys!" Natsu says relieved
"I see a town in the distance! We can restock on supplies there!" Carla yells out.
"Well this is it Wendy, no turning back." Natsu looks at her and smiles.
"No looking back Natsu." Wendy replies back to him with a smile.
"We're Here Paradisium! I'm all fired up!"
