Chapter 12

As the rescue team got close to the palace, Wendy asked, "Wait. How are going to even get in?" They all stopped and realized none of them actually thought of it.

"I thought we were going with Plan T," Felix asked. The team immediately shot down the idea. Natsu and Happy, you traitors.

"I've got an idea," Happy shouted. He then disguised Felix, Natsu, Wendy and Mirajane in ridiculous costumes.

"Why do I look like I belong to a island tribe," Felix asked examining himself. "1. This doesn't even match where we are at, 2. The leaves around my lower parts are making me itchy."

Taking off the costumes and putting back on their normal clothes, Mira said, "I've got an idea." The others gathered around and listened while she explained. "You all got it," she asked cheerfully. The team nodded.

Seeing a bunch of guards Mira motioned Felix to execute the plan. Nodding, Felix shouted, "Oh man!" Noticing the guards were looking at him, he continued, "Hey Natsu and Wendy, this sure looks like a good place to sneak into the palace."

"Uh huh," Natsu said.

"Sure does," Wendy added.

"Hey you three," a guard said rushing to them. "You're under arrest."

"Give them to me sir," another guard said. "I'll save you the trouble."

"Ok," the guard nodded as he handed the three to the other guard.

Being escorted by the guard who was actually Mirajane in disguise, the group made their way into the prison cells. After a while of searching, Felix shouted, "Guys I found them."

"Felix," Lucy shouted, but was then "shushed" by the rescue team. "Oh, my bad."

"Stand back," Felix said. "Natsu watch my back." Natsu nodded as Felix said.

Ice God's Chain Saw

"There is gotta be a quieter way to do this," Lucy said intending to stop Felix.

"You're no fun," he replied with sadness.

"I found a key," Happy said flying in. He handed the key to Felix and they opened the cell's door.

"Nice work Happy," Natsu complimented him.

"Aye!"

"Alright let's get out of here," Felix said.

"We can't," Yukino responded.

"What, why not," Natsu asked.

"They've got our keys and we've got to find Arcadios," Lucy explained.

"Another rescue mission? Per-", he was interrupted when the floor beneath them opened. Falling Felix grabbed Lucy's hand and shouted, "Everybody grab each other!" They followed his order.

Ice God's Hook!

Shooting upwards the hook managed to latch on to something as Felix said, "Happy, Carla, and Lily, can you guys give me a hand?" The Exceeds knew what he meant and were about to help, but the Hook broke. Son of a bitch, Felix thought as they fell again.

Hitting the ground, Lucy said, "Sorry, I swear I'm not that heavy…"

Again…not your fault, both you and Mira just have really good genes, like ridiculously good, Felix thought as he and the team got to their feet.

"Where are we," Natsu asked looking around.

"The Abyss Palace," a voice spoke. Turning the team saw a projection of the Princess. "You all are criminals of the Kingdom of Fiore and I hear by sentence you to death." Before the team can say anything the projection shut off.

"Not good," Felix said.

"Why," Lucy asked.

"Rumor is, anybody who has been sent here, never escapes," Felix said.

"We won't know if we don't try," Natsu said as he began to walk.

This guy, Felix thought. "Alright, lead the way," he said as he followed Natsu with the others.

Some time later after walking Natsu faints and the group tries to wake him up. "Come on Natsu," Lucy said shaking the Dragon Slayer.

"Step aside," Felix said approaching the two. He then began slapping Natsu which failed, and he said, "Yep. Out like me after being drunk."

"Natsu," Lucy shouted, as she again shook Natsu, "You're upsetting Wendy!" The Dragon Slayer finally woke up after hearing that.

So Chivalry isn't dead, but merely was asleep, Felix thought as the group continued on. Few moments later after Happy and Carla returned from scouting the area, they informed the group that they didn't find any exits. One reason why it's called the Abyss Palace….

"This place is actually 10 times larger than Crocus," Yukino explains. The group's mood saddened after hearing her.

"How about we change topics," Lucy asked trying to lighten the mood.

"I've got one," Happy exclaimed. "Hey Natsu, why did you want to be on the rescue team? You got a thing for Lucy?"

Flustered, Natsu replies, "N-No! I also did joined to get Yukino!"

Nice save there champ, Felix thought as he chuckled from seeing Natsu flustered.

"I never got to thank you," Yukino said.

"Huh, for what," Natsu asked.

"For storming Sabertooth after I told you my story," Yukino answers with a slight blush.

Whoa there Natsu, seems you're developing a Harem, Felix thought.

"No problem," Natsu replied putting his hand on his head.

I bet he forgot all about doing that, Felix thought as he observed Natsu's response.

"You know guys," Mira said. "She kinda looks like Lisanna."

"Huh," Yukino replied surprised. "W-who is that?"

"Oh sorry," Mira said. "Lisanna is my little sister." The group began to smile and converse.

Glad to see everybody's spirit is rising, but we're still stu-, Felix paused as the place shook and a passage way opened behind him.

"Nice going Felix," Natsu shouted running towards the Merc. "Whatever you did worked!"

"I, uh, I didn't do that," Felix replied. As he observed Natsu and the others squeeze their way through the narrow path.

"Come on Felix," Lucy said motioning him to follow.

Felix did and shortly after he stopped. Noticing Lucy was kinda stuck he said, "You ok?"

"I'm stuck," she replied. Happy began laughing and teasing her. "Quiet Cat!"

I don't know how many times I'm repeat myself today, Felix thought. "I got you Lucy," he continued as he pushed her through.

Being pushed too hard, Lucy landed on Natsu in a embarrassing position. The others awkwardly stared at her as she shouted, "It's not what you think!"

"Ohhhhh scandalous," Happy teasing the two.

Ok, that was my bad, but I'm not going to say anything, Felix thought as he got out. Noticing something a few feet away Felix pointed and said, "Hey guys look over there." The group quickly rushed and found that it was Arcadios lying on the ground, wounded. What the, are there monsters in this caves, or worse, could it be g-g-g-g-ghost, Felix thought frantically looking around.

"Leave….now," the wounded knight said as Wendy began to use her healing magic. Suddenly the group was ambushed.

"Acid," Felix questioned as he saw the ground melting away. Feeling strong winds, he shouted, "Hold on!" Him and the group was then hit by a gust of wind. Getting on his feet he noticed two men approaching followed by three others. "Who are you," Felix questions them. Arcadios then explains that they are the independent group called Garou Knights.

"We have orders to kill you," the leader spoke.

Examining the Knights odd fashion trend, Felix asked, "Hey Natsu?"

"Yeah," he replied.

"I think the circus just came into town," Felix said beginning to laugh.

"You think so too," Natsu said doing to same. The others quickly judged the Knights clothing as well.

"Do not underestimate them," Arcadios warned. "Their magic is specifically intended to kill."

Realizing a fight was unavoidable, Felix said, "Lucy. Yukino. Get Arcadios out of here. You're in danger without your keys." The two nodded as the picked up Arcadios and began leaving. "Lily. I want you to go with them just in case one of these guys gets past us." The black Exceed understood and followed the two.

"Tell us where the exit is," Natsu demanded. Ignoring his words the two women of the group attacked. Natsu was unable to counter one of women's Paper Magic.

"I'm coming," Wendy shouted as she jumped in, but was also unable to help.

Seeing the two trapped, Mira shouted, "I'm coming!"

"Don't worry Mira," Natsu replied. "Let's do it Wendy!" The little Dragon Slayer nodded as the two unleashed a Unison Raid and began to fight back.

"Nice one guys," Felix shouted. Noticing the other Knights about to jump in, he continues, "Guess the party is starting." Jumping in with Mira, he, Natsu, and Wendy combated the Garou Knights.

Amongst the fighting, Wendy was trapped in a paper cell then consumed by a plant. Natsu noticed and screamed, "Wendy!"

Crap. Wendy, Felix thought as he struggled to save his friend.

"I got her," Mira shouted as she flew in with her Satan Soul:Sitri form and destroying the plant. The little Dragon Slayer thanked her as they returned to the fight. Suddenly the group was temporarily stunned, but broke free with Natsu help.

"Thanks Natsu," Felix shouted as he rushed to help, but his path was blocked by the Knight called Neppa.

"Where do you think you're going, Ginger Head," the huge Knight mocked.

Angered by his comment, Felix immediately remembered as a kid he was teased for his hair color, despite being copper red, and shouted, "OH IT'S ON BURGER KING!" About to attack he and his team was suddenly paralyzed from the Paper Magic user then was about to be eaten by a huge flower, but thanks to Wendy, they managed to break free and destroy it causing a massive explosion. The explosion caused the cavern to collapse separating the Mages.

What up guys! Chapter 12 is here. I'm kinda sad cause we're nearing the end, but don't worry cause after this story the series will continue with a brand new OC joining after these events and onto the current Arc. Of course that's gonna be kinda tricky, but I'll manage. Anyway, stay tune cause i'm going to pump out more chapters later. Action, "softcore romance", dirty minds, and everything else is heading your way so I hope you're ready! Cya! Note: Please don't take offense to the "Ginger Head" comment. I have friends who are Gingers. But if I managed to offend you in anyway please send me the most disgusting picture you can think off to describe how much a piece of trash I am. Again I am very sorry if I managed to offend you.
