SailorStar9: After getting Chapter 6 out, this is Chapter 7 of this fic. (Sighs) Guys and girls, is it too hard for you to leave a review, instead of just putting this fic up on your favorited list and story alerts?

Disclaimers: I own nothing, except for the plot bunny and the main pairing.

Chapter 7: Targeted Lucy

"It seems like they're totally mistaking us for different people." The Earthland Hughes shrugged.

"Not important, Mary Hughes." Sugar Boy remarked.

"Let's hurry up and get to work, Sugar Boy." Coco reminded.

"The rumors were right." Sugar Boy noted. "You are a pitiful bunch of mages."

"We've got just one demand." Hughes stated. "Hand over Lucy Heartfilla."

"There's no point hiding her." Coco insisted. "We know Lucy Heartfilla belongs to this Guild."

"Maybe, we'd better introduce ourselves." Sugar Boy suggested.

"I don't know who you people are, but get the hell out of here now." Max demanded.

"Oh my goodness, how scary." Hughes taunted. "We're not obliged to stand here and listen to your drivel. Just give up Lucy Heartfilla immediately."

"But if you refuse to cooperate, we'll take her by force." Sugar Boy took out a microphone from out of nowhere. "Come on, my hound dogs!" he expelled his green ooze from his body.

"What the hell is this?" Max asked, the group engulfed in the slime flood.

"Man!" Elfman charged forward. "What the hell?" he echoed, his fists sank into the slime. "I don't know what to grab on to. Stay back!" he warned his sisters. "This stuff is gonna do something." His warning came too late when the ooze consumed him, taking in the three siblings.

"What is this stuff?" Carla wondered, she and Pantherlily having taken Wendy to safety. "Nobody touch it!"

"Give her to us before people start to get hurt." Coco faced off against Marco and Wakaba.

"Everyone!" Laki called as she and Max held off the ooze.

"Crap." Max cursed. "It's all we can do just to hold it off."

"Mercury Star Power!" Ami called forth her transformation.

"Ami?" Laki blinked, the girl having transformed in a flash of light.

"Good to know my old transformations still works." Sailor Mercury remarked. "Leave this to me. Shine Aqua Illusion! No good…" she frowned, her ice attack barely making a dent.

"Come back to me, hounds." Sugar Boy recalled his slime.

"You give up already?" Coco taunted.

"They're not the people we know from Edolas." Pantherlily realized.

"Then they're the Coco, Hughes and Sugar Boy who were already in Earthland." Carla concluded.

"Lucy Heartfilla, if you don't hurry up and identify yourself, we're gonna put more hurt on your friends." Hughes threatened. "Unless you want us to keep going on a rampage…?"

"They still don't know who Lucy is," Natsu got to his feet. "You three get out of here and look for Gramps. I'll manage here somehow."

"That ain't nothing." Hughes snorted, Natsu releasing a 'Fire Dragon's Roar' at the trio. "Command Magic!"

"Huh?" Laki exclaimed, Natsu's flames changing course to hit them.

"Take that!" Natsu firing off another attack, only to have Hughes redirect the attack again.

"Dummy." Hughes remarked, turning Wendy's attack on Natsu.

"Why do I feel so exhausted?" Elfman wondered.

"Maybe it's because of that mucus stuff from before." Mirajane suggested.

"We'll give you five more minutes." Hughes laid down the stipulation.

Lucy was about to give herself up when Michelle stepped forward.

"Come on, my hound dogs." Sugar Boy called forth his slime once more, the rest of the Guild members confusing the Zentopia trio by calling the girls 'Lucy'.

"Not this time!" Natsu released his attack. "Fire Dragon's Brilliant Flame! Lucy, now!" he called Lucy to run, Sugar Boy's slime having caught him.

"Two got away." Hughes realized, Lucy and Michelle having taken the chance to flee. "After them, Coco!"

"Not if we have something to do about it!" Marco retorted, he, Wakaba, Levy and Romeo released their attacks.

"Free Run Unlock!" Coco dodged the combined attacks.

"I'll stop her." Levy summoned her spell. "Solid Script: Iron!"

"There." Hughes used her magic to send the iron crashing on Marco and Wakaba.

"Sand Slash!"

"Wood Make: Violent Approach!"

"Sand and wood." Sugar Boy used his slime to block off Max and Laki's attacks. "Not one of my hound dogs' favorite. But they've got great chemistry with you." He turned to Natsu, his ooze having absorbed the two attacks. "Mary Hughes, our time here is limited." He reminded, Hughes having used her magic to redirect the attacks aimed at her.

"I know that." Hughes retorted. "I say we go after Lucy too."

"Over my dead body." Natsu snapped.

"I can tame several people at once with my Command Magic." Hughes informed.

"These creeps are tough customers, huh?" Carla noted, trying to pull Wendy free.

After forcing Natsu's attack on the ground to create a smokescreen, Hughes and Sugar Boy took off after Lucy.
