Souring- Tee hee It wasn't that short of a chap it was like 1200 words :P But yeh I'm the devil what can I say HAHHAHA As for Lucy's responses she's said stupid shit like that before so I just used it. You gotta member she was raised in a prudish well to do environment so... And Happy's responses to Lucy I can actually give "Happy Logic" to them but it take a LONG time to get to it so it pretty well is random HAHHAHAHA

Now on to the next cliff hanger of the day! MMUUAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAH

Lucy grabbed at a torch hanging on the mine entrance wall. Handing it over to Natsu she asked, "Light this for me?"

Natsu did so not thinking twice about it at first. He was too busy sniffing the area. Something was off about this place and he couldn't remember what the scent was. He knew it meant trouble though. Handing the torch back he had to do a double take. "Really Luce? Isn't that kind of redundant since I can cover myself in fire?"

Gripping the torch a little harder she pouted, "I just like having it, ok?"

Chuckling slightly he shrugged and kept walking. The air smelled foul, not just from the iron but whatever they were going to find. "Guys we need to keep close."

Before Lucy or Happy could voice their agreement a strange rumbling sound was heard echoing off the walls. Debris started to fall from the roof of the mine making Lucy still in her movements. "Whatever this is it's big. We could have a problem if we fight it in here."

"Aye?" Happy asked before Natsu could.

Biting her lip in worry she was thinking as they continued deeper. This mine wasn't supported well enough to handle a slight tremor let alone a battle of any proportion. Why had the miners not been keeping the maintenance up? Pushing the question aside Lucy gripped her keys with her free hand as another rumble and tremor caused more debris and creaking in the rafters making the supports. "Wait I have a bad feeling about this."

For once Natsu wasn't going to complain, "Yeh me too." He quickly agreed. Stopping and looking to Lucy he waited to see if she had a better plan then his normal charge in head first. For once he felt like if they did that it would spell their doom.

Thinking quickly Lucy turned to Happy. "Happy, I want you to go back to the entrance and wait there. If something happens to the mine it's up to you to get help and get us out. Do you understand?"

"Oi! Are you saying I can't get us out?" Natsu asked a bit upset at the implication.

"No baka that's not it! If we have these mountains crash down on us I don't think either of us will be fit to try and get out. I'd rather have a back-up plan than cross my fingers and hope for the best." Seeing Natsu's mouth shut at that she turned back to Happy, "Get going buddy." she said handing him the torch and trying to smile reassuringly.

Happy fidgeted for a minute. No matter what the situation was he usually wasn't sent away before anything happened. However if Natsu and Lucy needed his help he'd give it best he could. "Aye Sir!" he said before taking off back the way they came.

Turning back to Natsu after Happy disappeared far enough so the light was also gone Lucy asked, "Can you tell how far up whatever it is, is?"

He shook his head, "Naw, the whole place reeks. I know what it is I just can't remember damn it. But whatever it is we need to be careful."

Nodding in agreement Lucy frowned. This was defiantly going to be harder than first thought es[ecially if Natsu was being cautious. As the pair continued on the noises grew in volume as did the rubble falling. There were several times they had to dodge large chunks falling from the ceiling. Twenty minutes later left them at a fork in the mine. "Which way?" Lucy asked.

Sniffing the air again brought another familiar scent, "Right, I smell fresh air. Whatever it is must have gotten in through a cave opening in the mountains that ended up connected to these tunnels."

That was the first good news yet today. "Great! Maybe we can lead it back out and deal with it outside!"

Before either could respond or say anything more there was a noise that was much more of a screech that echoed loud enough to have both mages covering their ears in pain. "Fuck," Natsu growled out while trying to save his hearing and keep Lucy and himself from being flattened. Realization dawned on him in a heartbeat. He knew he had known what they were going to find. How did he ever forget that things smell? The earlier observation of this being bad was true. For once he wished they had brought their team because even with Lucy and himself this would be one hell of a battle. The last time he'd seen one of these was years ago and it was Gildarts and Makarov that took it out but not after almost getting beat to shit themselves.

He had only been in the guild a few years when someone had rushed in saying something about a dragon like creature outside of town. He didn't think twice before rushing out to the forest with the hope that it had been Igneel. When he got there though, he was almost instantly crushed by the thing. Luckily Gildarts had been in town and he and Makarov followed him as fast as they could and saved his ass. He had been knocked out from being tossed but when he came too he saw both Gildarts and Makarov looking pretty beaten.

Shaking the memory from his mind he focused on the task of not being squished taking note that there was already no way they were going back the way they came unless they were digging. When the noise and mine finally stilled he whispered, "You ok?" Seeing Lucy nod he asked, "What do you know about wyverns?"

Lucy's eyes took on the size of plates. How the hell were the two of them supposed to take care of something like that? Swallowing the large lump in her throat she whispered back, "Almost dragon like, but dumb, aggressive as hell. Basically, their just a large lizard that can fly and are no better than any wild beast. Poisonous too, one bite or a hit from the spikes on it's tail can mean death." Looking to the serious face of her partner she felt compelled to ask, "Natsu are you sure that's what it is? Because if it is…" she didn't want to finish the thought.

He nodded. There was no doubt about it. The smell and sound were too similar to not be a wyvern. Wrapping his scarf around his head and taking on his ninja pose he said, "Stay close, keep quiet, and be ready. We'll figure out a way to draw it outside since it already knows where here."

Lucy just nodded as she continued to follow behind Natsu ignoring his antics. They walked on dodging falling objects and occasionally trying to not go deaf from the wyvern's cries. Eventually they came to the end of the man made tunnel that led to a high ceiling cave. The miners must have been expanding and busted through to a natural cave and alerted the wyvern to their shared quarters. Cautiously they followed the cavern's natural path until they could see the dim light of the sun in the distance as well as a shadow moving across it.

Taking in their surroundings they realized that the cave was also no place for a battle. Large stalagmites hung from the ceiling of the cave and if given cause to crash could pierce or crush them easily. Their only option was to get it outside and try their luck there. However luck wasn't on their side as another deafening screech was issued to them followed by a charging wyvern.

Oh aren't I a stinker? MMUUAHAHAHHAHAHAH Yes that's right another cliffy... Yur gonna get like 5 of em in a row LMFAO But hopefully it will be worth it!
