Hi there! Again.. again.. and again.. Sorry for the super duper lateness. For those who still continue reading. I thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Disclaimer: Fairy Tail is not mine. It is Hiro Mashima's!
Warning: Lots of mistakes!
With Natsu, Happy and Erza.
"Is this the guild that we need to destroy?" Asked Natsu.
"Yes, according to the people around here, they have never seen the master of the guild but some says he his powerful enough to kill 100 wyvern in just one blow." Erza explained.
"I'm all fired up! Right Happy?!"
"Aye sir!"
"Good. Now shall we?"
BAM! The guild door slams down, courtesy of Natsu of course. He yelled "where is your master?"
"Whaaa… wait a minute..who are you! How dare you break our guild door!" a man stands up from his stool and send Natsu a death glare which does not affect him at all.
Erza walked pass Natsu and answered his question. "We're from Fairy Tail! We're ordered to take your master away. As for the door.." Erza used her index finger pointing at the poor door. "Don't worry, this is just the beginning. I assure you there a lot of thing will be damaged if you don't tell us where your master is" Erza threaten.
All of them were taken aback by her threat but ego overcomes them. A poor brave man stood up and walked in front of her.
"My..my.. what a beautiful girl you have here, you sure have guts to scare us huh? Forget your mission and have fun with us. I don't want to hurt your beautiful face." He said and trying to touch Erza's face.
Natsu face becomes pale looking at the scene in front him. 'He will die!' Natsu scream in his mind. Before the man could touch Erza's face, in the blink of eyes, the man flying out of the guild leaving a big hole on the poor roof. Everyone's jaw dropped including Natsu and Happy although they have face Erza's wrath before this.
"Now, tell me!" Erza demanded. A man with bulky body stood up and said. "Over our dead body!" then, all of them started to activate their magic and attempt to attack Erza but blocked by Natsu. He yelled. "I'll be your opponent." "
If that what you want, then so be it! Bring it on!"
Erza step away from Natsu and grab a poor man with skinny body. She sends her killing glare together with her sword pointing on his neck. "WHERE IS YOUR MASTER?!" The man paled and answer, "He.. he is upstairs.. spare my life" Erza nodded and leave the man collapsing as if he just saw a death angle. Erza and Natsu glance at each other. Natsu nodded and know what he should do. A man who looks quite powerful saw Erza leaves him and said. "HAHA…looks like that damned red bitch leave you and this kitten alone huh? Don't you dare think you can defeat all us with just the two of you..KIHKIH…HAHA… a… kitten... You're here to commit a suicide huh?" All of them laugh their hearts out with that statement. They are overflowing with confidence "Wanna try bastard!' Natsu spat. They yelled and start activate their magic and attack natsu.. "DIE, you ignorant flies!" the fight started.
Natsu unleashed his power and attack all of them at once. All of them look terrified by the amount of power he produce.. "How…how can you.." a man said.. "ohh… don't you know? He is the dragon slayer.. Natsu Dragoneel and I'm his partner,, the nekomander Happy!" Happy grinned. One of the men yelled. "No matter how strong you are, you'll never defeat out master" before collapsing to the cold ground caused by Happy's attack. "wow..he is just too weak!" happy claimed. As promised, Natsu let go all of his frustration and anger to them.
Erza reach the second floor but nothing on her sight. The messy office full of rubbish and paper. Her hunch said that something is fishy and she needs to find the source of it. As if on cue, she saw a paper on the table.
"Hello intruders. Having fun with my weakling down there? I know who you are and what you want. I just need to warn you to watch your back. To make this game more interesting, let me tell you one thing. I soon will be the most powerful mage in the world and for that, I might need some people to be sacrifices. Just tell your master and 'friends' that I will come and hunt all of you one by one. Just be prepared."
p/s: Is your beloved stellar spirit mage is alright? She is one of my favourite you know. Lucy Heartfilia isn't it? HAHAHA..
sincerely
Akira.
Erza's heart pounding hard when Lucy's name was mentioned. She knows that she have to hurry and check on Lucy. She tried her best to stay calm to face Natsu. She knows that if Natsu knows about this, he will go on rampage.
"Oi..Natsu! Are you done yet?" Erza walk down empty handed.
"Yes! Eh.. Erza.. Where is the master?" Asked Natsu.
"He is not there. They lied. I have to report to the branch council here about this matter. Go to the train station and find the last train to Magnolia today." Erza commanded.
"Yeay! We are going back today!" Happy cheered.
"Let's go Happy!" Natsu runs excitedly.
Erza who still worries could not resist to smile for their happiness. Well who wouldn't? Natsu, who afraid on train would choose a train just to reach Magnolia as fast as he can. After a few minutes, Natsu reach the ticket's counter.
"2 tickets to Magnolia please!"
"Umm.. I'm sorry sir, but the train to Magnolia did not run today because there is some technical problem. The train will operate tomorrow's morning." Said the man at the counter.
"Ehh?! How come?!" Natsu asks half scream.
"I-I'm sorry sir." The man shuttered.
"Just give me the tomorrow's ticket please." Said Natsu, clearly unhappy.
Lucy and the others
Lucy and the others except Sting and Rouge riding the carriage to go back to Mida's residence. The journey seems smooth until they enter the forest. Even though the clock shows 5 pm which normally did not dark yet, the surrounding shows the opposite.
"I don't know why but I have a really bad feeling about this." Said Sting.
"Yeah, watch our back Sting, keep alert! I can sense some dark magic but I can't find the source or the scent." Answered Rouge.
Sting nodded. Although he is a confident person when it comes to fighting, this time he knows that his priority is not fighting for pride or power but protecting his client.
In the carriage.
"Mida, I'm going to join Sting and Rouge walking okay. Please look after Lector and Frosch. I don't know why but I have a very bad feeling. Whatever happen, don't come out of this carriage." Says Lucy.
"No! I won't let you go. I don't want anything or anyone hurt you." Mida protested.
"Right now I'm not just Lucy Heartfilia but I'm Lucy one of Fairy Tail's mage and I have to carry on my duty to protect you." Said Lucy firmly. Then, her face softens. "Don't worry; I'm going to be alright. Bad feeling doesn't always right." she assured Mida.
"Okay, but be careful Lucy."
The three mage is on their top condition. None of them says anything and keep looking out for any possibilities. It has been 30 minutes they go through the forest and they seems to see the end of the forest. Before anyone could take a relief breath, a sound of roaring could be heard not far from their place.
"What was that?!" Mida comes out from the carriage together with Frosh and Lector.
"Mida, didn't I warn you not come out from the carriage?" Lucy says with stern voice.
"I feel safe if I could see all of you rather than hiding in the carriage." Mida stated.
"But…"
"Stop it you two! We have to concentrate! The roaring sound is getting nearer." Rouge screaming in desperation.
"Look, up there! Is it a dragon?!" Frosch screamed.
Everyone look at the direction pointed. They could see 2 huge wyverns roaring and circling around them.
"N-no that's not a dragon! It's a wyvern and it should not be here. This type of wyvern only lives on the mountain." Lucy explained.
"Lucy-san. Take Mida-san out of the forest. We will destroy this wyvern. After all, we still don't warm up yet." Said Sting in confidence.
Lucy knows that staying here will not help. Mida's safety is their priority and all of them know it. Lucy nodded and takes Mida with her to get out of the forest safely. Lucy and Mida run with all their might but the distance seems so far. When she could see the end of the forest, a man in a cloak stopped their track.
"W-who are you? Get out of my way!" said Lucy.
"It is not a nice thing to say to older people young lady." The man answered. "But as a mannered older people, let me introduce myself. I'm Akira, soon to be the most powerful wizard in the world.
"Y-you.. This voice…." Mida shuttered.
"Surprise.. surprise.. Never thought you could recognize my voice that fast. Looks like your memory is still good compared to your other friend there." Akira pointing at Lucy.
"What are you talking about? I don't know you. Do you know him Mida?"
"Well, I can't blame you. Maybe the pain I gave you make you suffered enough to forgot about my existence. Never mind, I will make you remember!"
Akira pull out his sword to attack but Lucy and Mida manage to dodge the attack. At the same time, Lucy summons Loke to counter the attack. Loke punch Akira with his regulus punch sending him flying far from them.
"Good job Loke!" Lucy gives him a smile. However the smile did not last long when Akira did not stop from attacking them.
"Dark absolute!" The attack seems like a dark wave that send them flying. Loke trying to hold on but Akira launch a sword directly on his chest making him go back to the spirit world. Lucy is still holding on the ground but when she saw a tree almost fall on Mida, she ran towards her best friend and pushes her away making the tree fall on her instead. Fortunately, the tree only hit her legs.
"Lucy!" Mida screams. She tries to stand up to help her but Akira stopped her with unknown shadow binding her on the ground.
Akira teleported near Lucy and pull her out of the fallen tree without care about her injured legs. He grab Lucy's throat and force her to look at his yellowish red eye.
"ARHH! Lucy screaming loud enough to show that she is in pain.
"AHAHAHA.. Painful isn't it? Now look at me, do you remember?"
When Lucy's eyes met with him, Lucy's face turns pale and her body trembles hard. Her heart beat fast as it will blow any moment.
"Y-you…" Lucy choked.
"Yes..yes.. it is me. I'm also the one who send those wyverns to your other comrade there. I hope they won't die that easy." Akira releases his grip on Lucy's throat causing Lucy coughing hard. Mida is trying to get on her feet to see Lucy but she could not move.
Lucy holding backs her fear and speak up while her eyes looking straight at Akira. "S-sting and Rouge will be just fine. Just.. What do you want from Mida?"
Akira comes towards Lucy and grabs her hair. "ARRHH!" Lucy screamed. Akira continued. "Mida? No.. no.. I don't want anything from her. She is useless. I want you and I use her to separate you and that dumb fairy. While waiting for the right time, I kill other people to kill some time." Said Akira in a rude manner.
"K-killing people for fun?" Lucy grips her hand.
"You don't want me to kill them?" Akira asks innocently. "Then, exchange your life for the life of other people."
Meanwhile with Sting and the others.
"Darn, this wyvern is quite though!" Sting pissed.
"Sting, let's finish this fast. We have to catch up with Lucy-san." Rouge suggested.
"It is embarrassing to use our powerful attack to the wyvern but we don't have a choice don't we? Let's do this Rouge."
"Holy Shadow Dragon's Flash Fang!" a large amount of shadows and white light from their fists, they merge their Magic and release it as a combined burst of the aforementioned light and shadows. The attack hit the wyverns directly causing it to destroy into pieces. Frosh and Lector jumping up and down in happiness while Sting and Rouge celebrate their success with high-five.
"Now, let's go guys." Said Sting
Sting, Rouge and the exceed runs at their top speed to reach Lucy and Mida. They are too shock to say anything when they see Mida lying on the ground while Lucy's hair is being pulled upwards. Rouge and the exceed run towards Mida to help her while Sting still not moving from his spot.
"Let Lucy-san go!" Sting roared.
"Ohoo.. Look whose here. Some guys that manage to kill my wyvern." Akira said sarcastically.
"I don't care what you're going to say. Just let her go!" Sting continues.
"Calm down, I won't kill this young lady…yet…." Then, he whispered something to Lucy. "As I said earlier, I won't kill other people but you have to give your life to me and I assure their safety. I will come for you later. Just think about it." Akira then drops Lucy on the ground and vanishes.
"Lucy-san, are you alright?" Sting hold and shakes her body gently.
"Lucy!" Mida running towards Lucy.
Lucy's pov
When Akira drops me on the ground I have to admit I'm scared to death. Exchanging my life? Is my life is THAT important?! For god sake! What is going on here?! I have a lot of question but the answer is not there for me yet. I've to snap out of this first.
I could feel the warmth on Sting's hand as he shook me gently. I nodded slightly. Then, I heard Mida calling my name while running towards me. That is when I realize, I'm still on a mission and I need to forget all of this for a moment.
"Lucy, are you okay?" Mida asked me.
I nodded and say, "Yes, I'm fine. Are you okay Mida?" She nodded and gives her smile. I know she may face a mental breakdown when she sees all those violent things happen in front of her. Even she might be tough on the outside, she is fragile on the inside.
"What was that?" Sting asks. Silence engulfing us for a moment before I decided to break the awkward moment.
"Now everyone, let's continue our journey, we're almost there." I tried to stand up but my legs won't move. I think my legs must be broken because of that tree back then. As if on cue, Sting carried me on his back with the help of Lector and Frosh.
Normal pov.
"Let me go Sting! I can…" Before Lucy could say anything Mida intercept.
"Can walk? Don't be silly Lucy. It is great that you just hurt your leg. I can't forgive myself if anything bad happen to you." Mida said firmly. However, anyone could see that she is holding her tears back. She refuses to see Lucy's legs.
"Frosh think so too!"
"Agreed!" Said Lector.
"But.. Hmpp.. Fine! Seriously Frosh and Lector, you should learn not to agree with everything." Lucy silently protested.
All of them continue to walk until they reach Mida's residence. During the walk, Lucy has fallen asleep and all of them were tired. No one dare to say anything but one thing for sure, they have a lot of thing to be discussed tomorrow morning.
