A/N: Here is the promised 5th chapter of my story. Sorry this took so long to come out, I am too lazy for my own good. I would use my crazy exam week as an excuse, but I can't. Thats why this is the second piece I'm uploading in one day. Once again, sorry for any spelling errors. Here is the next chapter;

Vulcan Battle

Lets Go:

A second or two later, a massive green monkey like thing jumped out of the bushes and yelled something about women and lunged at us, me specifically.

Before I could even react properly, Erza pushed me out of the way and requipped into armor that looked like it had angel wings made of metal. She summoned what had to be at least 10 swords and aimed them all at the monster.

She yelled, "Heavens Wheel! Circle sword" and all of the weapons she had summoned flew at the monster.

Only half surprisingly, the monster dodged the attack. Completely surprisingly, the large monkey grabbed me and ran off!

I realize I did have magic and I could have used it, but I was still attempting to process the fact magic exists. Seeing Erza use her powers had basically overloaded my brain and so I was basically unable to comprehend anything around me.

I heard Erza yell "You coward!" before the Vulcan jumped into a hidden cave in the side of a small hill.

"Woman, woman, woman" was all the Vulcan would say. "W-why do you want me here?" I asked after I regained the ability to properly think. The large beast turned to me and said "Me like woman" and started to do a weird dance. My only thought was Erza, please save me.

After what felt like hours but was probably only about 15 minutes, the Vulcan fell asleep on the spot, probably from exhaustion. I ran through countless plans in my head but none of them seemed like they would work. I yelled, "Wait!" so loud I was concerned I would wake the sleeping beast.

I finally remembered I had magic.

Well, Erza had said that Vulcans were actually humans, so I probably shouldn't kill this thing, I mused, attempting to think of a good plan to take down the perverted ape.

"Swords!" I shouted after figuring a half decent plan. Nothing happened. Dang it. I stuck out my arms and shouted swords again, hoping it would do something to no avail. "Well that's not going to work" I muttered. I then sat back down, hoping to figure something better out.

I thought again and remembered the initial assessment Erza had given me the previous night. She claimed I use magic dealing with shadows and I remembered some type of an attack, but I couldn't quite recall the name at that time. Hm...shadows. "Shadow sword!" still nothing happened.

I had come to the come to the conclusion that I had to recreate the same conditions that had been present during the assessment. I closed my eyes and steadied my breathing. I allowed my mind to slip into a haze and let my body go to autopilot.

My hand lifted and pointed toward the sleeping Vulcan in the shape of a fist. My body moved to a fighting stance. My legs readied to lunge. I yelled "Shadow devil punch!" The Vulcan looked up, surprise and confusion evident on his still sleepy face.

"DIE YOU PERVERT APE"

I punched the still surprised monkey multiple times all over the body, magic overflowing from my hands. I gave one last punch that sent him flying across the cavern and into a wall of rock.

His body fell, limp, as light engulfed his form. I covered my eyes and when I looked again, a man laid, beaten and battered on the floor of the cave.

"Give me back my friend you scoundrel!" Erza was here.

"Erza! Where have you been for the past half an hour?" I questioned, slightly annoyed that the powerful mage would abandon me with the pervert man turned monkey. "And what is with that outfit?" She was adorned in an extremely large strawberry costume accompanied with two swords, the same red fruit being used as metal hand guards.

She looked down almost as if she had forgotten her outfit. "Oh" she began, "Vulcans like strawberries, therefore I decided to carry for this situation." She looked away, almost like she was slightly embarrassed.

I reiterated my original question. "So where have you been for so long?" "As soon as this Vulcan kidnapped you, about 5 more appeared from the forest. I had to deal with them before I could even consider rescuing you... now that I look around, I feel that may have been a good thing." "fine, I guess thats alright. But it was still super weird having that pervert ape stalking me." She laughed and stated that Lucy Heartfillia had also had an encounter with a Vulcan during her first day as a Fairy Tail member. We left the cave with the man on our shoulders and we headed back to town to collect our reward.

Back in Town

We reached the port town and dropped the man off at a nearby hospital. We then met with the person that filed the request. Erza had apparently also brought back all the other victims, which was the main cause for delay in her "rescue".

We returned to our hotel after collecting our money, deciding to take the noon train back to Magnolia the following day.

At the Hotel

We reached our room and I flopped onto the bed face first. Erza chuckles as I flipped over, spreading out in the center of the bed. "I barely fought at all but I feel utterly exhausted" Erza looked at me in understanding and stated that it was due to my lack of practice with magic and I'll get used to the draining of strength.

The scarlet haired mage then laid down on top of me, placing her head on my stomach and allowing her legs to slump off the bed.

"I admit, that was a very interesting mission." Erza said a smile in her voice. I reached down and began playing with the womans long, scarlet hair. She looked at me, amused, but did not protest my touch.

After a few minutes she stood up and rolled me over to one side of the bed. "C'mon, we need to get some sleep, we may be leaving later in the day tomorrow, we still need to keep our energy levels up to stay alert." "Ugh, fine" I grumble.

We both got underneath the covers and Erza turned off the lights. Somehow it had become 1 in the morning. "Goodnight, Hanako" "Night, Erza" the woman beside me moved a bit to find a comfortable position. That position was facing me.

She fell asleep fairly fast. I know because after about 5 minutes she grabbed a hold of me in a similar fashion to that of the night before. The last surprise of that day was that I enjoyed it.

A/N: Okay, chapter 5. I wanted to release this sooner today but things kept popping up, making it harder to create quality content. (lol, like this is quality) I hope you enjoyed this chapter. I'm hoping to begin the main plot within the next two or three chapters, but we will see.

Once again, thanks for reading!

See you next time!
