Chapter 5-Mission

"Your Majesty's!" cried Levy as she burst into the room. King Jupiter and Queen Lyga looked up from the table they were at and stared at the girl with a raised brow. "Forgive my intrusion but I have some grave news!" cried the bluenette.

"Well speak child," Jupiter said with a frown.

"Princess Lucy is missing!" cried the blue haired girl.

"What?!" the king and queen exclaimed as they jumped off their chairs. Then they rushed past Levy while Lyga grabbed her wrist and brought her with them.

"When did she leave?" exclaimed the queen.

"I don't know ma'am. All I know is that when I went to check on her, she was gone! There was no note or letter or any sign of where she went!" she exclaimed with tears in her eyes. "I'm so sorry. I should've kept an eye out on her. I was going to but she said she was tired and wanted to be alone. I didn't think she'd leave!" she added.

They finally arrived at her room and Jupiter threw the door open. "Lucy!" he shouted but saw that Levy had been right. She wasn't in there. "Levy, run and have all the servants look for her around the house. She may not be gone. She might be in hiding," the king ordered as he whirled around frantically. The petite girl nodded and ran off with tears falling from her eyes.

Lyga began crying and Jupiter took her into his arms. "Hey it's okay Lyga. We'll get her back. I promise," he whispered to her.

"I should have known that she wasn't ready to handle the news of marriage," she cried. Jupiter bit his lower lip but he agreed. Maybe they had been too rash in telling her so soon. They should have waited.

After an hour of searching, they came to the realization that Lucy was gone. "What are we going to do?" asked Lyga with puffy eyes and a red nose. He glared outside when finally an idea struck him.

"Jellal!" he shouted. Soon Jellal came in with a crease between his brows while worry and fatigue was one his face.

"Yes Your Majesty?" he asked.

"Gather everyone you might need because I'm sending you on a mission," he told him.

"A...mission sir?" he asked wondering if he heard correctly. What mission could they possibly go on at the moment?

"Yes. A mission to find my daughter and bring her back," he answered. Jellal stood up straighter and saluted. That was understandable.

"As you wish! I'll look and see who to bring. Most likely it will be Levy and Juvia since they are the closest to Lucy," he told him.

"Just them two?" Jupiter asked with a raised brow.

Jellal nodded. "I believe the smaller the number, the quicker things will get done. Plus, us three are fairly strong Your Majesty," he replied. Jupiter thought for a moment and glanced at Lyga. She was quiet throughout the whole thing.

"Your Highness?" asked Jellal. She finally looked up at him and gave a weak smile.

"Go ahead. I trust my daughter in your hands," she faintly replied. He bowed his head and smiled.

"I'll bring her back for sure. I promise you on my title as Knight," he told her. She smiled and nodded. Then he walked out and got ready to tell the two girls of the mission.

"That hot-headed, flame butt, a**-hole!" shouted Gray as he let out a stream of other curse words. Where the heck was that flame freak?

"What are you ranting about now?" grumbled a voice behind him. Gray whirled around to find Gajeel. His long black hair was pulled back by a red bandanna and his expression showed everyone that he was annoyed.

"Stupid fire lighter is missing," he answered as he ran his fingers through his dark navy blue hair.

"What is this I hear about someone missing?" asked another voice before Gajeel could answer. However, you can tell something changed around him. Gray and Gajeel look up to see Erza stalking towards them.

"Natsu is missing," Gray answered. Her eyes widened.

"What do you mean?" she demanded.

"Exactly what I said! He's not in his room or the kitchen. Where else would he be?" Gray exclaimed. Erza glared at him and he gulped.

"Did you tell the king and queen?" she asked. Gray shook his head.

"No, I just finished looking for him. I was about to confront them," he told her.

"Good, let's go. Gajeel you too," Erza demanded as she grabbed both boys on the arm and pulled them with her.

"Wait why do I have to go?!" he exclaimed as he tried to break free from her death grip.

"Because I said so. You two are practically cousins so let's go," she answered.

After they arrived at the throne room, Erza knocked and waited until she was given permission to go in.

Once she got it, she pulled open the doors and pushed Gajeel and Gray inside. "Your Majesties. We have some grave news," she began then nudged Gray forward. Gray threw her a glare before facing the king and queen.

"Your Majesties, um, Natsu is gone," he told them not bothering to beat around the bush.

"WHAT?!" roared Ignel as he jumped from his seat. Grandeen's eyes opened wide and Wendy, the young princess, sister of Natsu, gasped as she covered her mouth. Her blue hair got caught in the process but she didn't notice.

"What do you mean Gray?!" exclaimed Grandeen.

"I mean what I said. He's not in his room or kitchen. He's nowhere to be found. I also asked Laxus to check the stables and Happy was gone," Gray told them.

Grandeen began crying. "I knew I should have listened to my instincts!" she cried as she sat down on her throne.

"I DON'T CARE WHO GOES BUT ERZA, GET A GROUP TOGETHER AND FIND HIM! THIS IS RIDICULOUS!" roared Ignel. Erza bowed and pushed Gray and Gajeel forward again.

"I'm taking these two with me," she told him right away. He eyed them and nodded.

"Take them and go. Don't return without him! Take whatever you need and leave as soon as possible. Starblaze Kingdom needs him," he told them as he calmed down remember that Wendy was there. Erza bowed again and nodded.

"We'll complete this mission sire!" she told him. Then she placed her hands on both boys heads and forced it down. Afterwards, she picked it up and dragged them out.

"That hurt d*** it," Gajeel grunted as he cracked his neck.

Erza gave him a death glare and he shivered. Gray had to hold in a smirk. Even though Gajeel looked tough and punk like, Erza was the only one who could get him to shank back in fear.

"Fine," he grumbled.

"Good, now go pack whatever you'll need and meet outside at the stables in half an hour. We're going to search for the prince," she commanded them as she walked off towards her own room. Both boys looked at each other and rolled their eyes.

"This is gonna be a pain in the butt," Gray commented as he made his way to his room. Gajeel grunted in agreement as he too went to his room to pack.

"What a drag," he growled as he marched to his room to pack. "Once I lay my hands on that fire hydrant, he'll wish he's never been born," he added as he slammed his room door closed.
