GRAY's POV

We had walked out of the guild and not even two minutes later Flame Brain, of course, started to annoy me. But then again, he always managed to somehow. Since Erza was there and I didn't want to get hit on the head again, I just ignored him.

Erza stopped which made the idiot bump face first into her back, which had metal armor on it, just like the rest of her. This caused me to fall onto the ground, crying from laughter. As soon as Ash for brains saw this, he started yelling. "Shut up, stripper!" He yelled, which caused me to stop laughing and glare at him. After I started glaring, I picked myself up. "What'd you call me, pinky?" I asked. "It's salmon, not pink, shifty eyes."

We were about to start brawling when I froze and saw Erza looking at me straight in the eyes. I just knew we were in for a beating; it came five seconds later as she hit me in the same spot on my head from earlier, causing me double the pain.

ERZA's POV

After I had smacked some sense into Natsu and Gray, I turned my attention over to Lucy who had sweat dripping down her forehead. "Lucy, what job did you pick again?" I asked in my normal calm voice, instead of my serious one for when I have to deal with the two idiots.

They all nodded in acceptance, and I started to walk toward the Fairy Hills with Wendy and Carla. Though I saw Happy and Natsu walking toward their house, I knew they would eventually end up at Lucy's. My face turned a light shade of pink as I zoned out, thinking about what could happen and how many children they might have. I was about to wonder if they were already together when my face accidentally hit a wall.

"Damn" I whispered.

WENDY's POV

I heard "damn," and I wondered where it came from. As I turned around, I saw it came from Erza. I ran to make sure she was okay and to help her up; she was fine, but I wondered why she had hit the wall. She usually pays attention to this kind of stuff, but I guess that didn't really matter.

I went inside the Fairy Hills, where Carla was already there and waiting on the bed. Her stuff was packed, so I just had to pack mine. Which was going to suck because Carla saw my expression change and said she would help since we only had about 40 to 20 minutes left.

I had just arrived at the train station with Carla and Erza; the others were already there waiting for us. Lucy waved us over and we boarded the train. As soon as we got on the train, Lucy hurried to a seat so Natsu could lie on her lap. He did as soon as she sat down. I sat down next to Erza.

The train started immediately, and I got motion sickness. Putting my head out the window, I could hear Gray asking where the mission was. "It's in a town called Cinder," I thought Lucy said. "Ohh… I've never heard of it," Gray replied. "It's a new town or village; a few hundred people have moved there, apparently, because they wanted to expand or something like that, but you know what I do know, Gray? It's going to be a long train ride, and that means you're going to have to listen to Natsu the entire time. If you complain, Erza will most likely stop you from complaining."

"No, she won't," Gray said, about to finish his sentence before getting a "mhm" from Erza for confirmation. Gray slouched in the chair and I giggled a little before going back to throwing up.

NOBODY's POV

"It seems the fairies have taken the bait," a voice said from atop a black throne.

"Hey, you go deal with them," the voice demanded, power seeping from every word spoken, as snapping his fingers a few seconds later, footsteps could be heard walking and getting closer to where the powerful voice was.

Once close enough, you could barely see a man dressed in an all-black outfit with weapons; he looked like an assassin. Though he had a hood and mask, you could still see his green eyes – the color of grass. He bore a dark aura, as if he were born for the job of an assassin.

Next, a woman emerged from the shadows. She wore a similar black outfit as the man, but this time, her eyes were covered and her face appeared to be made of stone. She moved with incredible speed, as if she could effortlessly jump from rooftop to rooftop; it seemed as though she possessed superhuman speed. She also carried two daggers and emitted a dark aura, similar to the man's.

Both bowed to the voice and awaited their orders. "The fairies have taken the bait; go and set the trap quickly before it's too late," the voice said with a voice of amusement. "Yes, my lord, it shall be done."

As both rose from the ground, you could only see one thing from the darkness of the room - a banner with a symbol of a combination of some kind of demon and dragon in white. The background of the banner was black. The banner hung high in the darkness and swished with the wind.

Once both strangers were on the ground, they walked out of the room, ready to complete the command given to them by their master.

That's the end for that chapter. Thank you to all who have liked it!
