(So this chapter is really short, I didn't really want to add the fight scene because I was worried It would be too long for this one chapter and then I'd cut out the good parts. Fight scenes aren't my specialty, I really struggle with them, and so I put as many details as I can and they tend to be long. So next chapter, fight scene.)

Not long later we came across the humble home of Ikki.

It was a small cottage, one bedroom, not as nice as the house I have but Ikki had always told me she liked the tiny home because she could keep a better eye on her son.

As soon as we stood at the door I raised my hand to knock but the ornate redwood door swung open before I could.

There stood Ikki, an average woman with brown hair that was put in a quick braid, dark almost black eyes, and she wore a simple blue short that hung loosely on her, and brown shorts. In front of her, leaning against her, was her son Rohan, a small boy about Romeo's age with big dark eyes like his mother and the same brown hair as well, but his was messy, framing his face sharply.

"Oh Mona! I saw you coming a mile away, my visual magic never fails. You have friends, oh please, all of you come in, I'll get some tea." She said, bustling away with the little boy before I could respond, leaving us to follow her.

This was how Ikki was. Fast-paced, energetic, chatty, and always welcoming. Such a sweet lady, really. She has magic, a visual magic that allows her to see within a five mile radius, like ex ray almost. But she doesn't really have any fighting magic, and she isn't interested in being in a guild. Rohan was different from his mother, he was quiet and observed his surroundings, and was very smart. If he ever joined Fairy Tail he'd be a very good mage. Though with Fairy Tail's rowdy atmosphere, maybe the poor kid would be better off staying FAR, FAR AWAY FROM THAT MADNESS. But it's his choice I suppose.

Ikki led us to the kitchen, a quant room with a six persona kitchen table.

"Please, Sit, Sit!" Ikki told us as she began bustling around the kitchen to make tea.

Rohan had already sat quietly, so Levy-Chan, Jet, Droy, and I sat at the table as well.

"It's been a while, Ikki." I said, smiling at her as she hurried around.

"Yes it has. Who are your friends? Why have you come to visit?" Ikki asked.

"Ikki, Rohan, these are some of my nakama from Fairy Tail. This is Levy Mcgarden, a solid script mage. Jet, one of the fastest wizards in Fairy Tail-" I was interrupted by jet.

"Actually I'm THE fastest." He put in.

I rolled my eyes and continued, "And this is Droy, a plant mage. The three of them are team Shadow Gear. We came because you put a request with the guild, something about a thieves den?"

Ikki paused, and then nodded, "Oh right. I didn't know you would be the one to take that request, Mona. Or else I would have asked you personally."

Levy spoke up, "Ikki-San, have you been robbed by these thieves? How did you find out about them?"

Rohan spoke up timidly for the first time, "Mom and I haven't met them, but I was trying to learn her visual magic and I saw them in their hideout."

Ikki spoke again, "It seems they steal from farther away, probably trying to hide their location."

I smiled and reached over to ruffle Rohan's hair, "Good work, you did well to spot them." I removed my hand and looked at Ikki, nodding, "You're probably right. We'll be able to take them out if we know where the hideout is. Are you sure you can make this a formal request? I wouldn't want to make you pay us 160,000 jewels if you can't afford it."

She shook her head, "It's fine, I earned a bonus at work. Just do your best to get rid of them, all of you. I'll draw you up a map and send you on your way. But first, who wants brunch?"

As if on cue, all four of our stomachs grumbled.

Levy, Jet, Droy, and I all looked at each other.

Levy smiled brightly at Ikki, "If it's not too much trouble, we'd love something to eat."

And so we enjoyed the morning, with Levy and I helping Ikki make breakfast, and Jet and Droy hanging out with Rohan.

We all sat to enjoy a great breakfast.

Two hours later we bid goodbye to Ikki and Rohan, and headed on our way. We had a small map in hand where Ikki had circled where the den was.

"We don't know how many there are. Maybe we should come up with a plan." Levy suggested.

We were now hiding behind some huge rocks, peering at the thieves' camp. There were quite a few of them, and there were tents so we couldn't know how many in total.

I could spot at least ten in view. I was guessing they weren't all wizards, and if they were they weren't strong ones.

"No. I don't think we need a plan, they won't be hard to fight." I replied after a moment's pause.

Jet nodded, "I think Mona is right."

Droy agreed, "We're from Fairy Tail, these guys don't stand a chance."

"Still, I would feel better if we had some kind of plan." Levy tried to convince us.

I thought a moment before saying, "How about you and I got first, Levy, and draw them out, and then I'll give the signal and Jet and Droy come in as a surprise attack? That way they think it's only two girls but then Jet and Droy attack as well, they realize it's more serious than they first thought."

Jet and Droy both grinned at me, And Jet said, "Great Plan! What's the signal?"

I rolled my eyes, "I'll just yell or something, you'll know when I signal."

Levy nodded, "Okay then. Should we just go in fighting or do we have a role to play?" She asked me.

I grinned, "It wouldn't be fun if we just went in fighting. Levy, Here's what I need you to do…"

Half an hour later

"This is perfect Levy! Let's go!" I said cheerfully.

She laughed lightly and we linked arms, ready to walk into the thief camp.

"Are you sure this is a good idea, Mona?" Droy asked, looking nervous.

Levy had used her solid script magic to conjure up a new outfit for me to wear. Since Levy already looked sweet and innocent, what she wore was fine. But I needed something to make me look less like a tough woman. Besides my outfit showed my guild mark.

I now wore a cute light pink tank top shirt with a short white jean skirt and pink flats. I had even added a pink bow to my short hair. Despite being tall and big chested, I was actually quite cute looking. I mean usually I used a sex appeal so I wasn't very good in the art of Cuteness, but we weren't really here to infiltrate. This was just a ploy.

I turned a cute, sweet smile on the boys, putting my hands on my hips, and making sure to flutter my eyelashes dramatically. "I always have good ideas. Do you two really think I would just send us recklessly into this?"

"Yes-" Droy began but Jet stopped promptly on his foot, causing him to begin a howl of pain but Jet quickly covered his mouth so he wouldn't blow our cover.

"Not at all, Mona! You would never do something so unpredictable." Jet exclaimed, smiling at me while Droy flailed to get out of his hold.

I rolled my eyes, "Jet, thank you for being such a suck up. Now let go of Droy, and wait for the signal like two good little boys. Come on, Levy-Chan."

So Jet let go of Droy and Levy and I left them there.

A moment later we walked into the camp.

And all the chatter and loud laughter from the rowdy men went silent.

Time to play.
