Chapter 14
Lucy helped Natsu stand as they got ready to leave for the guild, "how could the magic council ever make something like that?" she wondered out loud
"what is more disturbing is how Tartaros found out about face" Carla said
"don't worry they won't be able to unseal it once the former chairman tell us which members have the body links" Wendy told her cat
Upon hearing that something clicked in Natsu's head, the slayer grabs Happy, "hurry I think Erza might be in trouble"
The fire wizard and his cat fly off at the speed of sound as they rushed off to save their friends. When Natsu could finally see the former chairman's house he jumped down to the ground and ran to the house, which he found empty and in a fit of rage he demolished the building.
"what happened?" Happy asked as he flew down, "where are Erza and the others?"
"I'm not gonna let them get away" Natsu put his nose to the ground to find a scent, "don't underestimate a dragon slayers nose"
At the dark guild Tartaros, Erza woke up in a dim lit cell chained to a wall with a woman standing in front of her, "I assume this is Tartaros" she said as she open her eyes
"yes I am Kyouka one of the nine demon gates of Tartaros"
"where are my friends and the former chairman?" she asked as she look at her surroundings
"your friends are being enhanced, they will make fine slaves, and Crawford was the one who brought you to us" Kyouka told her, "now tell us where is Jellal Fernandes?"
"what do you want with him?" Erza asked
"he is that last key we need to unseal face" Kyouka revealed, "now tell me where is Jellal"
"I haven't seen Jellal for years I have no idea where he is" Erza told the demon defiantly
"we know you have a special relationship with Jellal, now tell me where he is" Kyoua ordered, "or things will get a lot worse for you"
"I wouldn't tell you even if I did know" Erza stared at the demon determined not to tell her anything, "no matter what you do to me"
"fine then" the demon moved her finger down the prisoners arm but to the knight it felt more painful than anything she had experience, "you get it now, tell me where Jellal is and we can end this"
"I won't tell you anything" Erza said as she clenched her teeth, fighting the pain
Kyouka smiled as she reached for Erza again but the dungeon shook with force as the demon complained about having to go investigate.
Above Erza's cell, Natsu had bust in to the dark guild and had started to battle some weird green demon. He didn't understand what it was talking about ad he didn't care, he just wanted his friends back. He definitely seem to be winning the fight when out of nowhere the entire room got cold, the demon backed off as Natsu turned to face a new challenger.
"cool down Franmalth I'll take it from here" the demon looked like a human wearing armour, the demon Franmalth dragged the unconscious chairman away as he left Natsu with this new challenger
"getting cold in here" Natsu commented as he faced off against this demon
"a fire wizard you must of melted sun village" he said as he cracked a smile, "really owe you one"
"so you were the thing that froze it?" Natsu asked
"yeah I was so embarrassed when I heard that it was a dragon soul and not a demon" he let out an embarrassed chuckle
"you smell a lot like someone I know" Natsu said, "Gray Full…."
Before Natsu could finish the name he was turned to ice, "don't say that name around me"
Happy called out for his friend but he knew he couldn't do anything, the cat instead turned and ran away knowing he needed to inform the guild about everything. Happy ran though the dark guild as he evaded all of Tartaros' foot soldiers, he eventually found a way out and flew as fast as he could back to the guild.
Back at the guild hall, all the wizards had returned and were discussing the disappearance of Natsu and the other members.
"could you sniff them out?" Gray asked Gajeel
"no way if the squirt couldn't do it and besides Natsu's smell is long gone by now" Gajeel explained
"what about Elfman and Lisanna they still haven't reported in" Cana said
"we need to find a way to locate these demons" Makarov mumbled to himself
Seconds later happy flew in to the guild, rambling about find Tartaros and Natsu being turned to ice. Carla grabbed the blue cat and ordered him to calm down and make sense.
"ok the former chairman is a traitor and they have captured Erza, Mira and Kalex and now they have captured Natsu as well, I just managed to escape" Happy told the entire guild, "we need to go and rescue them right now"
"this is troubling, the former chairman a traitor" Makarov said to himself
"and they capture some of our most powerful wizards" jet said
"we need to know where they are Happy?" Makarov asked the cat
"well it is on this weird flying cube" the car revealed
"then it is impossible to find" Cana groaned
"no" Levy stepped up, "if Happy can remember how he got here we could work out the trajectory"
Happy started to blurt out some nonsense that no one could understand until he mentioned Bosco, "so they are around the eastern border" Makarov surmised
"I can work with this" Levy said as the entire guild cheered her on
"now everyone else get ready to fight" Makarov shouted, "this will be our greatest enemy yet"
The guild erupted in cheers. As they were about to get ready for their assault on the dark guild Elfman walked through the door, looking like he had been to hell and back.
