Chapter 6 Lovely 3
"G-Gray-sama. Juvia will defeat you my love rival, Lucy!" Juvia yelled when Gray and Lucy left.
"Where do you want to go on a mission?" Gray asked. "How about that new capture mission. The one in Yosten Town." "Alright then, to Yosten Town." They both smiled at the same time.
"Yosten Town hum. Looks like Juvia is going to Yosten Town today."
Lucy and Gray bought their train tickets and were about to board.
"All aboard!" the train conductor cried.
Lucy was stepping on the steps to get on the train when her foot slipped. "wahah!" Lucy screamed as she started to fall, but then she felt a strong pair of muscular arms catch her.
She had fallen into Gray's outstretched arms. Lucy looked up to see Gray's face. It was inches away and she started blushing like crazy.
"Lucy! Are you alright? Did you get hurt?" "N-No. I'm fine, thanks." Gray then started walking up the steps with Lucy still in his arms.
"G-Gray, you can put me down." "It's fine. I don't want you falling again." Lucy looked away blushing.
"I'm not going to fall again." She sputtered.
He picked a seat and set her down. He sat in the seat across from her. Lucy was looking down blushing really hard.
Juvia was standing at the door way squeezing the frame. She was fuming a lot. "J-Juvia, stay calm. Stay calm." She kept repeating to herself.
"Um, Gray." "Yea Lucy?" "Your shirt's gone." "Gah! Again?"
After some time there was a small boom noise. Lucy and Gray looked toward the direction of the noise.
One of the conductors walked into their cart and was getting ready to make an announcement. "Attention passengers! The train's AC has just broken down." After that there were mumbles among the crowd. "Oh my gosh! What happened?" "Oh no! It broke down." "It's summer time, what are we going to do?" The most the mumbles said.
As the minutes passed the train grew hotter and hotter. Gray (being an ice mage) was just fine, but Lucy was so HOT.
"Lucy, are you alright?" Gray asked. "Yea, it's just hot and it's making me tired." She smiled sleepily.
Gray stared at her for a couple seconds making Lucy blush. He stood up and sat next to Lucy. (Window side) Lucy looked at him confused. Then she felt those strong arms wrap around her again and pull her in. Lucy was now leaning against Gray's bare muscular chest. Lucy's Face was bright red.
"Better now?" Lucy was now just realizing Gray's coldish body was now cooling her down. "Y-Yea." Lucy stuttered.
Lucy's eyelids were becoming super heavy. She then fell asleep on Gray's chest.
Juvia was fuming and had broken the part of the frame she was holding. "J-J-Juvia. S-Stay c-calm." She repeated over and over again, resisting the urge to walk over and throw Lucy out the window.
Gray started to doze off himself, when the train came to a sudden stop. It made Gray wake up, but Lucy was still asleep on his chest. Everyone was looking around. The cart's door swung open and giant lizards walked in.
"Nobody move!" one shouted holding up a huge mace up. Lucy woke up, but Gray held her in his arms firmly.
"Who are you?" Gray shouted. The one that looked like the leader looked at Gray and said
"Watch your mouth boy! I'm the great Warlando!" "You're that bandit everyone's after." Gray said.
"Why yes I am and not one person can catch me." He laughed. Lucy looked up at Gray and whispered "That's the guy we're after." Gray nodded.
The lizard looked at them and grabbed Lucy by the hair. He pulled Lucy right out of Gray's arms.
"No whispering plans to your boyfriend blondie!" Gray was getting up to save Lucy, but two of the other lizards stopped him. The lizard dragged Lucy by her hair out of the train. He threw Lucy on the sand outside with his mace leaning against the train.
"You see where we are?" "The desert." Lucy said bitterly. "Yes, the desert and do you know what that means?" "N-No." Lucy said with fear growing inside her. "It means it's the lizard's land and that means the lizard will win." He said grinning.
Lucy grabbed her keys, taking the grinning as a threat. The lizard started laughing evilly. "You think a snowflake like you could beat ME in MY turf?" He started laughing some more.
"Think again blondie." The lizard sank down into the sand and disappeared. Lucy looked around to see where he might pop up next.
Next thing she knows is she's being pelted with sand bullets. She looks over to the direction the bullets are coming from and sees the lizard. He smiles and disappeared again.
"I see how it is." She grabbed Virgo's key and held it up, but the lizard popped up and used his sand bullets to knock the key right out of her hand.
"Not on my watch missy." He said still smiling. "W-What am I going to do?" she thought to herself. "Virgo is the only one who can really defeat him. I'll have to get my key before her comes back." Her thoughts ran.
She bolted over to Virgo's key when the lizard man turn some sand into a sword and cut up her hands until they were covered in her blood. "Try handling your keys now daisy." He laughed.
He started swinging at her legs. Lucy cried in pain. She looked at the shining key that was inches away from her. She knew she could just grab the key, summon Virgo and it would all be over, but she couldn't, her hands when in so much pain.
"I-I can't let this guy defeat me. Pain or no pain, I WILL SUMMON VIRGO!" she screamed in her thoughts. She grabbed the key and winced in pain from the key touching her open cuts.
She staggered up with blood running down her legs and on to her key.
"Still up I see. I can fix that." He picked up the mace and started charging at her. "OPEN UP! GATE OF THE MADEN!" Lucy summoned. Before the cloud of smoke swirled around her, Lucy saw that her key was blood red.
