"Master, are you going to be alright?" Nel asked since she stayed behind at the wrecked guildhall.
"I'll be fine." Harribel said. "Listen, go with the members of Fairy Tail. This enemy cannot go unpunished with destroying out guildhall. You must bring justice on them for Blue Pegasus."
"I will. I'll find the people responsible for this. What about everyone else?" Nel asked.
"There must be more of these scum out there. We'll find them all and make them pay." Harribel said. "You just stay focus on helping Fairy Tail."
"Right." Nel accepted that order and stood up. She was set to seek vengeance against Lost Treasure.
"Race for the Key"
…
Ichigo
Lost Treasure may have succeeded in stealing the mysterious key from Blue Pegasus, but the fight is far from over. Ichigo might have failed to beat Koonra, but there's still a chance for them to get the key before Lost Treasure escapes with it since its hidden away. Thanks to Orihime, Ichigo got healed up before they split up and was running through the woods to find it.
"That guy couldn't have hidden that key very far. Orihime and I weren't that far behind him." Ichigo said. Ichigo heard a strange sound so he hid behind a tree if it was an enemy. He carefully looked out and actually found Lonark himself.
"According to Koonra, it shouldn't be that much farther." Lonark said.
'Is this guy with Lost Treasure? Is he one those Three Jewels?' Ichigo wondered and felt something different about him. 'His magic power….what is with it? I've never felt anything like it before. As much as I like to take this guy out, this might be my only chance to get that key if that's where he's heading.' So Ichigo decided to stay in the shadows and follow Lonark.
….
Uryu
Uryu went out on his own as he decided to head down the river. He was treading carefully so he could spot the enemy.
'I don't understand. What are they after?' Uryu thought. 'Why would Lost Treasure come here for something that even Blue Pegasus doesn't even know about?' Uryu kept walking, until he felt his foot sink deeper into the ground. "What in the world?" Uryu was starting to sink into the ground. "What is this? Quicksand?"
"Not exactly." Uryu looked across the river and was met with Kazu.
"Who are you?" Uryu said.
"That's the least of your worries. You're starting to sink pretty fast." Kazu said. He was right. Uryu has already sunk past his waist. Uryu reached for the ground to pull himself out.
"I don't think so." Kazu whispered. He held out his hand and the ground Uryu grabbed turned into the same substance he was sinking in.
"How is he doing this? Is it Earth Magic?" Uryu said.
"I hope you like a mud bath." Kazu said. Uryu was almost completely submerged. If he didn't do something fast, he was going to be sunk. "Have a nice nap." Uryu sunk past his head and his arm was going spare hand was going down. "That was easier than I thought. I guess Merinda was right about them." Kazu was about to walk away, but he heard something explode and it came from where Uryu sank. He saw the strange liquid substance fly around and Uryu climbed out.
"Nice try, but I prefer to stay clean and tidy." Uryu said.
"This should be amusing." Kazu claimed. One member of Lost Treasure's strongest team revealed his magic, but is the nature of the magic this one can use.
…
Chad and Renji
Chad and Renji decided to go in a team, but they weren't having any luck either. Especially since they had no idea what they were even looking for.
"This is nuts. How are we suppose to find something we know nothing about?" Renji said.
"Our real problem is Lost Treasure. They could be anywhere." Chad said.
"I guess you're right. I just wish we had a better idea as to what was going on." Renji said. The two of them kept running until Chad came to a stop. "Something wrong?" Chad turned his head to…a tree. "Chad, this isn't the time to be enjoying nature's beauty."
"I can sense you're there. Come out and fight." Chad said. Renji thought Chad was being silly until a direct line of explosions went off between them.
"You're senses are stronger than that Ichigo guy."
"Did that tree just talk?!" Renji said as he seemed freaked out. He figured out what was going on when he saw Koonra come out from it.
"You must be the one that Ichigo fought." Chad said.
"That's right. To be honest, I'm relieved that I'll be fighting you two and not him." Koonra said. "Of course, since he couldn't beat me, I suspect that neither can the both of you."
"Don't compare me to Ichigo. Especially since we have the number advantage against you." Renji said.
"Numbers mean little to nothing. Its power that decides the battle and mine surpasses yours." Koonra said. His power was enough to bring Ichigo to his knees. Do Chad and Renji even have a chance against this guy?
…
Orihime and Rukia
The girls formed their own team and were searching for the key on their own. Rukia was a little concerned with Orihime's injuries.
"Orihime, how are you holding up with those injuries?" Rukia asked.
"You don't have to worry about me, Rukia. I'm going to be okay." Orihime said.
"I know. We Fairy Tail wizards are as tough as it can get, but you can't help a friend from being concerned with another." Rukia said.
"Thanks, Rukia. It's nice to know you care so much." Orihime said.
"It looks like I found you." Both of them looked ahead and felt trouble. Someone was walking towards them and when that person stepped into the sunlight and revealed to be Merinda.
"Looks like instead of finding this key, we found trouble." Rukia said. "I take it you're one of those jewel people in Lost Treasure."
"That's right. You can call me Merinda, but I prefer queen."
"Queen?" Orihime said finding that a strange thing to call her.
"Correct because compared to me, you two are nothing, but peasants." Merinda said. "Though, you two don't have to worry about that much longer. You'll be a part of true glory."
"What is that suppose to mean?" Rukia said.
"I'll gladly show you." Merinda said and had a blue aura flow around her. She had a trick up her sleeve and could be a lot of trouble for the girls.
…
Ichigo
Lonark continued to walk through the woods and it seemed like he still hasn't noticed Ichigo at all. Lonark came to a stop and Ichigo was wondering what he was doing. All Lonark did was look around.
"There it is. Right where Koonra said it was." Lonark said. He reached down through some tall grass and Ichigo saw he found the key.
'That's what that tree freak stole. Guess he told this guy where it was.' Ichigo thought.
"The Kleidi tis Istorias. Otherwise known as the key of history. It is now mine." Lonark said.
'Key of history? What could that be?' Ichigo wondered.
"With this, I can unlock the seal to ultimate magic power." Lonark said and Ichigo didn't like the sound of that.
'Ultimate magic power? I don't know what that is, but I know it can't be good if this guy gets his hands on it. I have to do something.' Ichigo thought.
"Now that I have it, I don't need to stick around anymore." Lonark said. "Destroying that guildhall was an added treat and it looks like I get a bonus of eliminating a fairy." Ichigo didn't have to think that one over. He must have been aware that Ichigo was following him the entire time. Lonark turned around and held out his hand to the tree Ichigo was hiding behind.
"Damn it." Ichigo whispered. There was a flash of blue and white and caused the tree to explode in a light of the same colors.
"Not bad." Lonark said, but that was only because he knew Ichigo was able to avoid that explosion. Ichigo ran around to get behind the guy and tried to attack from there. Ichigo pulled back his magic covered fist and tried to attack, but Lonark turned around and blocked that attack with his bare hand and Ichigo wasn't expecting that at all. This guy wasn't even fazed.
"No way. This guy didn't even flinch." Ichigo said under his breath.
"I commend you for having the bravery for taking me on by yourself, but it was also very stupid." Lonark said. All he did was widen his eyes and the magic power from that sent Ichigo sliding back a few feet.
"Oh man. That last guy was nothing compared to this guy. Who are you?" Ichigo said.
"My name is Lonark Slyker. I happen to be the master of Lost Treasure."
"So you're the master? That means if I can beat you down, the rest of your guild should fall easily." Ichigo believed.
"Simple minds think simple thoughts." Lonark said. "If you think you can defeat The Three Jewels, let alone me, you're sadly mistaken. Step aside and I just might let you live."
"Give me a break." Ichigo complained. He couldn't even count how many times people threatened something like that. "How about you tell me what that key is? What's this ultimate magic power you're after?"
"Sadly, you won't be around to see it." Lonark said as he held out his hand. The ground Ichigo was standing on had rays of blue and white light shine underneath him and it detonated in another flash of light with Ichigo taking a hard hit with magic power Ichigo has never felt before. An explosion that packed more of a punch than the ones Koonra caused. That attack already took Ichigo down in one hit. Lonark took the key and placed it on a carrier on his back. "I'll leave you here to rest in peace." With that said and done, Lonark left Ichigo there.
…..
Nelliel
Nel was running through the woods since she decided to join in the fight, but she has no idea where everyone is. She stopped when she felt this strange feeling in the wind. A feeling telling her that there's something bad out there.
"I don't like this. There's something out there with so much power." Nelliel said and she had no idea that was only an underestimate of what the source of that power is.
…..
Lonark
Lonark secured the Kleidi tis Istorias and was heading back to their airship. All he had left to do was wait for his underlings to finish off Fairy Tail.
"These fools have no idea what they are up against." Lonark said. "The Three Jewels have specialized in a form of Lost Magic. The likes of which those members of Fairy Tail probably have never seen before." Each member of the team was radiating magic power of green, white, and blue aura around them as they stood against each member of the team. "This is where they will meet their end." Fairy Tail and Blue Pegasus have lost the race to obtain the Kleidi tis Istorias. They are up against an enemy the likes of which they have never faced before. Can they win the battle?
….
Orihime: Chad's form of magic is impressive.
Ichigo: That's not the only form of Take Over Magic. We have a few members that use that magic in different forms.
Orihime: That's amazing. So can they really merge their souls with another being?
Ichigo: I guess that's how it works. I just hope they don't do it with something gross and disgusting. They Mira dresses with a couple forms makes me a little uncomfortable
Ichigo: Next Time: Human Soul
Orihime: What do you mean? How does this Mira dress?
Ichigo: She use to be model in swimsuits with a naughty side. What do you think she dresses like?
