To Forget to Remember

Chapter 4:

All about the Boredom and Injuries

Bixlow thought it was a nice idea to stay at home until Fried and he needed to go on a mission to pay their apartment rent. It really was a tempting idea, not doing anything and just having fun putting on pranks and watching the Fairy girls in the swimming pool. Really, that was going to be like a vacation he haven't had in many years.

He was dead wrong.

For the past four days, he had been dying of boredom. He admitted that Fried wasn't the most enjoyable guy in the world but, Bixlow still had hopes in having their typical man-to-man time without Evergreen. But no, Fried had to spend all his time with Mirajane.

With Mirajane.

The answer of his problem somehow formed as a shriek in his mind. From the beginning, he truly felt that there was something indefinable about Fried's and Mirajane's developing relationship. He'd never imagined this sinister feeling was going to be today's alarm for a caution.

Or maybe, he was just over reacting.

He should have been happy for Fried and Mirajane. After so many years of being loners and not having anyone by their side but only each other, the Raijinshuu deserved a change of company, another type of relationship that was more than companionship. Fried was the first out of the Raijinshuu to be freed from his chains of his past behaviors and personality, and Evergreen followed as being the second after the S-class exam.( Bixlow thought about Elfman)

Bixlow, however, didn't see a major reform in his daily life. He didn't feel in need for a change in life style either. As long as he enjoyed it with his babies, he didn't grumble.

While lying on the couch and staring at the ceiling, he was thinking about all of these.

By the time the entrance door knocked on twice, Bixlow straightened up to sit on the couch. He snorted and complained mentally about why he didn't give hands to his babies. That would have been very practical.

He opened the door. The rune mage who he greeted hurriedly sprinted across the entrance to his room. For some seconds, Bixlow stared blankly at the spot that he disappeared then he fallowed.

"Hey, what's up?"

Bixlow leaned his back to Fried's room's door arch while Fried was searching for something.

"Forgot your flower?"

"I couldn't ask and have you seen my suitcase?" Fried was now looking under his bed. He was trying to suspect anything that resembled of a suitcase.

"Wait, where are you goin'?" Bixlow asked with curiosity; Fried paused to look at Bixlow's unmasked face. He sighed.

"Lisanna might be in danger so I am going to Dejakmara to check on her and help her out."

"Ooo, I'm pretty sure Mirajane's very grateful to you now. Nice move to win her heart, I tell ya.""Right!","I tell ya!" and "Nice move!" on the babies chirped cheerfully in unison.

"We both know well that I am not doing this for my own benefits. Lisanna, except being the sister of Mirajane, is a part of Fairy Tail and I would go to help to anyone who needed help."

" Pft, don't lecture me about that, idiot. I was just kiddin'. So, when we leave?"

"Are you coming too?"

"Yup, we're a team after all and it was gettin' really dull here."

"Yup!" Pappa agreed.

"We're a team!" Puppu repeated.

Fried smiled a bit and as usual, Bixlow's respond was a wagging tongue which accompanied his sly eyes.

"How do you feel today, honey?" Mrs. Delios treated the bruise on Lisanna's leg as she was sitting on a sleeping bag in a tent.

That day she made her discovery was the day she had to encounter with them. Yes, deganors were still alive somehow and they were still tracking the weakest spots on the surface to exit from the underworld.

Without losing time, Lisanna climbed the path she dug. She had to warn the family and workers to quickly evacuate the area. Unfortunately, as she approached the surface she could hear the scream of the Delios. There were two deganors at the same time.

"Run for it!"

As soon as Lisanna was under the sunlight, she transformed herself into her tigress form and launched to the deganor she could hit.

Delios were stuck between the tents and the bug while the workers were trying to deal with the other one. These bugs had a skin that looked like an armour and they didn't have eyes. They had six legs. These legs were pointy edged, and sharp to be easily pinned into the ground.

The Delios family could make their way out through the tents, away from the deganor. The deganor didn't seem very keen on chasing them, so Lisanna made her way to where the workers located. She climbed onto the armor of the bug and she started to scratch it will all of her might. The bug didn' seem to even feel it, nor did it react. Its skin was still bright and metallic as if nothing touched it. Lisanna had to find another way to deal with this thing.

Suddenly the bug shook its entire body as if it wanted to get rid off of her weight. Lisanna tried to stabilize her posture but it was no use. Her claws hardly stuck on the skin of the bug and she slid over deganor's body. Her speed was increasing the closer she got to the ground.

She saved herself in midair when she transformed her arms into wings. She glided near the bug while she kept looking for a weak spot. There seemed no weak points because the bug didn't have any opening. Its tummy was so close to the ground and Lisanna wasn't sure how she could manage to have an opening to its tummy while it was pinned to the ground so tightly.

Wait.

She had a brainwave that moment. If that bug wasn't going to move away from its spot then she had to make the ground move for them.

She landed nearby, knowing about what must be done. It was going to cost her a large amount of magical energy but if she were to succeed, the problem would temporarily be solved.

"Animal soul! Deganor!"

Finally, she was able to become equal with the enemy. Her massive body on her legs made for the deganor ponderously. She attacked and wrestled the first deganor. The second one eventually attacked her when she crashed into it as well. It was three deganors at the same time and ground underneath them was shaking with the load of tones.

Lisanna pushed in and pulled up her weight along with the two deganors she was fighting with. She was lucky that the yesterday's dents and cracks were under their feet, so did the underground caves.

After a while of battling with those gigantic bugs, Lisanna felt her strength being sucked out of her body way more intensely. Her entire magic power was being absorbed to build and operate this huge body properly. She had had to finish things off before she was forced to return back to her normal form.

She pinned the deganor to the ground roughly again but there was no use. The second deganor caught her off guard when she felt her being shuttered. She was thrown onto the ground in her fragile human body.

She tried to move. Her body was trembling with cold and, her nerves were loose. She struggled to stand up but her balance wasn't right. Lisanna could faint on the muddy soil anytime.

Anytime.

"Lisanna"

Lisanna's blue eyes opened widely to see the world she had been in. She must have gone unconscious. She realized that Mira had already started worrying about her.

Lisanna collected herself and stood up at once. She was still trembling but it didn't matter. Fortunately, she wasn't gone for a long time. Deganors were still above her.

Lisanna formed her wings and flew as high as she could. She was putting the bits of her magical energy into use.

In midair, she once again became a heavily armored insect and she was free falling.

Please, let this work!

The thin layer of surface collapsed and swallowed the three deganor into the depths of the ground. Workers hesitantly gathered nearby the black hole.

"She did it." One of them said. The Delios also joined to the workers.

"Is she alive?"

As answer to that, a bird ascended from the darkness and landed inside of the group of workers.

When she returned, it was Delios siblings and Mrs. Delios that covered her surroundings, congratulating her for her success and bravery. In a few days, she also made herself a name for the showdown she had performed in.

"Darling?"

"Oh yes, I feel much better –ouch." Lisanna hissed when Mrs. Delios pressed the cotton which had been treated with medicine.

-üöü-

That afternoon, she was requested to meet the mayor personally. She decided to ask him how the previous guild was able to get rid of them.

For an hour, they discussed about what needed to be done. At the end of the meeting, they decided on sending requests to some guilds to gather more mages to deal with the problem.

Lisanna had already known her magic wouldn't be able to handle all of this alone. The reason she could defeat the deganors yesterday, was because she had a lucky streak of a thin surface. Lisanna was also certain that they didn't die. If they wanted to extinct their species on the area, they had to be dealt with bolts, energy rays and any sort of magic that was similar to it, or with an over whelming melee power like Erza's.

-üöü-

"They are back! 6 of them are coming towards the center!"

The church bells were rung in the town to warn the citizens and the city guards took their places. In a rush, people hurried to where they found the safest.

Lisanna was off to battle along with the guards, leading them as she flew closer to the army of insects. For the moment, she didn't have any plans in her mind. She hoped that she was going to come up with a tactic in the heat of battle.

Lisanna landed and transformed into a deganor form again and attacked to the first she approached. She easily pinned the struggling bug onto the ground. It was a relief that these bugs didn't cooperate as she anticipated on her first battle.

She didn't expect the tables to be turned.

At the moment she attacked, it was five bugs getting onto her to crash her down. Her insect self cried loudly under the pressure.

"Open fire!" The guards gunned the armored insects but they weren't even able to cause damage.

In between the line of fighting and dealing with the pain of feeling her body is being crashed she tried to think of a way to escape. If she turned into a smaller animal, she would easily be stepped over. She couldn't find any other animal transformation that was bigger than these insects. On the other hand, she couldn't even move because of there was no room in the prison that deganors built up with their own body, nor she was able to move the walls away.

Apparently, she could say it was a dead end. Luck didn't smile upon her that night.

Her cries turned into moans and her moans turned into whimpers. She was losing all her breath and mentality, lastly she was going to faint because of airlessness.

The newly shrieks of the insects were vibrating in her antennas and that's what helped her to understand whether she was conscious or not.

The shrieks sharpened and it annoyed her. However, they kept her mind functional for longer seconds and helped her to question logically.

Why are they screaming?

"Baryon Formation!"

The bugs shrieked again and finally one of them seemed to be taken out of the mountain of bugs.

If Lisanna had eyes, they would probably be wide open by hearing this familiar voice.

"Dark Ecriture: Suffering!"

"Bixlow! Fried! " She mentally cheered up.

One by one, the deganors that surrounded her fell onto the ground. Some seemed to be still suffering. Lisanna threw the last deganor upon her onto the ground, which was paralyzed by the attacks.

"You plannin' to return back to human or you wanna make us suspicious about your true identity and shoot you off?" Lisanna couldn't see his figure but she could imagine the tall mage with that creepy tongue-hanging grin, which was probably the biggest grin she could have ever seen.

Lisanna transformed into her old self and watched the two Raijinshuu men landing in front of her.

"I didn't expect you two to show up. Thank you so much!"

Fried was concerned when he realized all the bandaging and bruises over Lisanna's body.

"In this condition, you should not be allowed to fight."

"Fried, what-"

"You look like one of those bugs chewed on you." Bixlow agreed to Fried in his own words.

"Literally, it's not true …Well maybe but-"

"Enough said, we are sending you back to Magnolia." Fried turned his back and started to walk where the guards were located.

Lisanna was dumb founded. It hadn't even been 3 minutes since they greeted each other but it was enough for Fried to decide on Lisanna's fate.

"Wait, what? I am not going anywhere!" Lisanna refused and crossed her arms over her chest, looking serious.

Bixlow turned back to look at Lisanna's hopeless face and "tee-hee"d.

"That ain't a problem, right babies?"

Bixlow's babies started to push Lisanna to move and she eventually gave up struggling. Although Fried's and Bixlow's remarks about her condition and the decision of sending her back to Magnolia, she was elated that the luck smiled that night for her, once again.
