Chapter 2:Unexpected threat

After about two hours of crying whining and barfing on the train Lucy and Natsu had finally arrived at their destination,the town of Trisca.

"Natsu hurry up!" Lucy shouted angrily as Natsu stumbled off of the train.

"I'm coming Lucy please stop yelling"

"I'll yell as much as I want! you dragged me here,literally!

"alright alright sorry.."

She huffed and walked off towards the city center and the mayors office with Natsu awkwardly following behind. She sighed "well were here anyway this better be worth it natsu"

"don't worry Luce it will be" Natsu said with his usual toothy grin

They continued walking through the small town in search of information on the monster they would soon face. Trisca was a beautiful town filled with small cute cottages the largest building was the town hall. Being one of the smallest in Fiore, Trisca was a very unknown town with few people living there it rarely had crime which was why Fairy Tail and the other guilds received few jobs from it.

After searching around the town for about an hour or so Natsu and Lucy had gathered that the beast was at least 20 feet tall and had large horns atop its head and that was all. They decided to see the mayor to see if he knew anything and to report that Fairy Tail had taken his request.

When they arrived they both walked in and awaited their turn to meet the looked over to natsu and noticed that Natsu's best friend,the blue exceed happy,wasnt with him as he normally was she had been so angry at Natsu earlier she hadn't' noticed.

"hey Natsu where's Happy at?"

"I guess he found his parents with the other exceeds and went to spend some time with

them"

"well at least he's with his parents I'm glad he found them"

"yeah I am too but I miss the little guy" he said sadly

They sat for a while longer discussing the guild and its members when they heard the secretary call to them that it was their turn. They quickly got up and headed to his office."hello young wizards!" he greeted them happily, the mayor was a small man at about 3'5". He had a large mustache across his lip and a top hat atop his head he also wore an unbuttoned black tux and white bow tie, in short he was a miniature mister monopoly. "I'm so very glad you came.."

"He's so small!" Natsu shouted cutting the mayor off.

"Natsu!" Lucy shouted as she slammed a fist down on his head. She then looked to the mayor with an embarrassed and apologetic look "I'm so sorry sir, my friend has a big mouth" she laughed nervously as the mayor gave them a death glare.

"Its fine. As I was saying thank you for responding to our request this beast has been attacking our farms, destroying our crops and eating our livestock. It is slowly damning us to bankruptcy." He said with a serious tone "so young wizards I ask you for the sake of our town and the people within it to exterminate this beast"

Natsu smirked and said with confidence "consider it done". The mayor smiled and thanked them again as they left the office.

A few hours later long into the night Natsu and Lucy awaited the monster each masterfully disguised as a cow? Natsu and Lucy had previously bought two cow costumes planning to go in disguise as cattle in a nearby farm to attract the beast they were hunting.

"Natsu.."Lucy said in a low tone obviously a bit annoyed.

"Yeah Luce?" Natsu asked.

"Why on Earthland are we dressed as cows?" she asked angrily

"Well this monster eats cattle right?"

"Right.."

"So if we're the cattle he'll try and eat us" he said smiling in his costume.

There was an ominous silence. Natsu cautiously called out."Lucy?"

"You idiot!" She shouted." Do you even think about what you say?"

Natsu thought it over naive as always before saying "oh..." realizing he had risked their life by dressing as cattle and tempting the beast to eat them. As he realized this a loud stomp could be heard coming their way. They froze each hearing their hearts thump in their chest. Natsu felt something grip his body and lift him in the air. He smirked and set himself on fire burning away his costume."fire dragon's iron fist" his fist connected with the beasts face "take that!". The monster took the hit not even flinching and slammed natsu into the ground.

"Natsu!" Lucy shouted as struggled out of the costume and reached for her keys.

Natsu was passed out on the ground the beast hovering over him. It was a truly terrifying creature it stood over 20 feet(at least 6 meters) tall. Atop it's head were horns so sharp they could rival even Erza's impressive collection of blades. Its legs were like a goats with dark black fur. Its torso was a human one but it was tinted blood red and it's head was also a goats with large menacing red eyes. (Okay so bad description imagine the gleam eyes from Sao but red k? (:)

"Open gate of the lion! Leo!" Lucy shouted summoning the lion spirit and leader of the celestial zodiac Leo the lion,aka Loke .

"You summoned me my dear" Loke said while he fixed his glasses and adjusted the tie on his usual black tux.

Lucy blushed when he called her "my dear" but shook it off and pointed at the creature "take that thing down Loke!"

"My pleasure" he said as he charged the beast his fists glowing with the power of the lion spirit. He struck low aiming for the creatures legs to try and make it stumble and fall. The creature dodged quickly and struck Loke as he dashed and sent him flying a good ten feet. "For such a big guy he's really fast" Loke said as he got back up. The creature growled low in its throat as if he was issuing a threat to the lion spirit. Loke charged again making another low strike this time aiming for the creatures stomach. The creature attempted another dodge, anticipating this Loke quickly changed the direction of his attack and managed to land a blow. Taking this opportunity he landed a couple more hits and retreated. "How'd ya like that you ugly freak?!". The creature stood there completely unfazed staring Loke down as he let out a roar and ran at him. Once it reached him it slammed a massive fist directly to his gut causing Loke to spit out some blood and fall to the floor.

"Loke!" Lucy shouted as she ran to his side.

"Sorry Lucy I failed you" Loke managed to say as he coughed up more blood.

"Its okay Loke" she said sadly.

The creature stood towering over them growling loudly. They sat there paralyzed in fear. They stared at the creature awaiting death. Suddenly a large ball of fire struck the beast causing it to stumble back. Lucys head instantly snapped to where natsu was expecting to find him gone but only saw his unconscious body.

"Hey you two okay?" A sudden voice in front of her said. She looked forward and saw a man his fist ablaze in crimson flames.
