Chapter 4: The Sarcastic Meeting of the Alliance

The team was on the way to the meeting point where the alliance involved in the mission to destroy Nirvana will meet.

On the back of the carriage, Lucy took a peek at her brother-in-law who had been enjoying himself by taking the driver's seat. He really enjoyed travelling on vehicles. Lucy curled up to herself. She had a really bad dream last night.

*Flashback*

She dreamt of two boys were facing off one another. One of them had spiky salmon coloured hair and the other seemed to be about the same age as him with black hair that sticks upwards at the top with dark eyes. The boy in black was wearing robes with gold trimmings and an open collar, along with a large, flowing white toga draped around his main body and across his chest. Lucy recognised the salmon haired boy as her brother-in-law Tsuna as she could already differentiate between the twins.

The other boy gazed at him in tears. Tsuna bared his fang preparing to take him on in battle as the red Fairy Tail emblem on arms glared a bright red transforming into an emblem of another design Lucy found very familiar. "Isn't that an emblem from eradicated famous Dragneel clan?" She could see that Tsuna was really burning in anger. She could not make out their conversation. None of them had noticed her presence either. That was when she noticed that the boy in black, cowering in fear was going to release some deadly attack.

Lucy tried to warn Tsuna but it was too late. Lucy tried to reach Tsuna when the boy in black released a wave of darkness devouring both of them…

*End Flashback*

Lucy took another quick glance at Tsuna's arm where his Fairy Tail emblem was located. It had to be her imagination. How could he be involved with one of the most famous clan of mages, the Dragneel Clan? She better focus on her upcoming mission but then she felt really uneasy.

For this mission, other than Blue Pegasus, Lamia Scale would be joining them. The mission itself seemed dangerous. Lucy frowned when she thought of Hibiki. "He will be participating as well."

"Lucy, how have you been?" Lucy imagined how he would greet her and then she would react in this way, "I'm more than happy since the day we broke up."

However, her plan was thwarted when Hibiki greeted Wendy instead. She had been ignored. "Hibiki Lates, have you change your target from sexy woman to loli?" Lucy exclaimed in dismay when he walked past her to greet Tsuna, who represented Fairy Tail as one of the commander in this mission.

"I had heard so much about you, Fireball Tsuna! You had changed since we last met during the S Class exam. Please guide me along and teach me the secret of passing the S Class exam. " Hibiki offered his handshake to Tsuna who took it firmly.

"I'm flattered when you said that. My secret is no secret. I passed the exam because I want to get married!" Tsuna declared proudly.

"What kind of secret is this? I bet nobody else passed the exam with a reason like yours" Lucy commented softly to herself. "I know you wanted to marry my sister badly at that point of time". Thank goodness his brother-in-law was not aware that Hibiki was her ex-boyfriend, if not he would be in trouble.

Lucy's heart lurched when she thought about her own happiness. A boy who resembled Tsuna flashed past her memory as he overlapped with Tsuna who continued to boast about his motivation in passing his S Class exam. He was smiling at her.

"Natsu…"

Her line of thought was disrupted by a Blue Exceed which was grabbing on her boots. "What should I give Charles as a gift?" He asked while waving his tail. Lucy could not help but to tease him for revenge.

"Ara… someone wants to get married too. Do you need my help to spread the news of your scandal?" Lucy whispered to him.

"NO WAY!" Happy rubbed his face in embarrassment.

Meanwhile, Erza had been fidgety over the ace Blue Pegasus, known as Ichiya. She was disgusted by his clinginess. Ichiya was a short man with a big and rectangular-shaped face. His hair was wavy and it was orange in colour. One might say he looked quite unique when put together with the Trimen, Hibiki, Ren and Eve who were all known to be handsome. Ichiya was hitting on her as usual.

"I missed your perfum, my Honey! Let's have a date after the mission" Ichiya danced around her. Erza's hair stood up as she requiped her staff and pointed at him. What would Jellal say if he saw this?

The members of Lamia Scale arrived. One of the members, with bluish silver hair arrived at the meeting point first. He was the Ice mage of Lamia Scale, Lyon Vastia. He was the senior of Gray who trained with Gray when they were kids. Just like Gray who was the Ice Prince of Fairy Tail, he was the Ice Prince of Lamia Scale.

"I noticed that the single and unattached ice cube of Fairy Tail is participating in this mission. Hurry up and find a girlfriend. Don't embarrass yourself when you are holding the title of a Prince. May I suggest you to consider the Princess in your guild? Prince and Princess come together in a set." Lyon greeted Gray in sarcastic tone. They had been rivals for practicing the same magic.

"Who did you call an ice cube? You are also one hell of an ice cube who is single and unattached." Gray retorted in response.

"He is not unattached when he has me as his girlfriend". A lady with pink hair in pink dress appeared right behind Lyon. She was the Princess of Lamia Scale, Sherry Blendy. She noticed Lucy immediately and pointed at her. "Is this the Princess of Fairy Tail, your girlfriend? You certainly lack of taste. She is just a little girl."

"What did you say?" Lucy was annoyed at her words. She was looking down on her.

"Let me teach you more about love". Sherry offered.

It was true that rivals just could not get along. Gray and Lyon, Lucy and Sherry who held the same titles in their respective guilds just could not get along. They were pissed at one another. Battles between the rivals could happen anytime.

Tsuna glanced around him. With Gray and Lucy busy arguing with Lyon and Sherry, Wendy was busy being entertained by the trio of handsome men, Happy was busy giving fish to Charles to please her and Erza busy punching and sending Ichiya flying, Tsuna just realized he was being left out. "What did you say about my sister? My sister and the ice cube can never be an item. They are incompatible!" He targeted Lyon who "insulted" his sister as an excuse for him to join in the fight.

Just when they were busy with their respective businesses, a man in mask appeared looking for Tsuna interrupted them.

"Sorry for interruption. I'm Mystogan of Fairy Tail. I have business with Tsuna Dragion". The man announced his intention. Tsuna looked rather surprised when he realized that it was his Teacher, Jellal who requested for a meeting with him.

Meanwhile, Erza had Ichiya hanging on the tip of her staff. She was in cold sweat when she saw Jellal who had seen what she was doing. She wanted to dig a hole to hide from embarrassment.

With another Wizard Saint, Jura from Lamia Scale onboard, the Alliance split into groups and began their mission to locate and destroy Nirvana which was currently the base of Oracion Seis.

Jellal was determined to stop Natsu from doing things he would regret later. He believed he was controlled by Zeref who was resurrected within him. The power of darkness came from the despair within his heart. Even Natsu who was kind in innocent in nature could be tainted after being wounded time and again and ended up becoming a puppet of the evil.

"Natsu, as your teacher, I'm going to stop you before you reached the path of no return."
