Fireballs rained at the robbers. The AoE effect showed it's effeciency by taking out a large number. Those close to the attack screamed in terror as they tried to get farther of it.

Fairy Tail's mages were surprised. None of them knew someone who could use that kind of magic. But Luke smiled instead. Unlike the others, he was not surprised, since he knew someone, who was ona mission not long ago.

"Finally you're back. But I expected to see you at the guild"

There was not one, but four persons. The first being seen was a man with red hair, which ended orange at the tips. He was wearing a long open vest over nothing, letting his torso and abs visible. The second one was a teenage girl with light brown hair, wearing blue jeans and red shoes, and carring a bag full of seeds. The third was a male with light blue hair, almost everything was a shade of blue: his jacket, ,jeans, sneakers. Except his shirt which was grey. A chill aura came from him. And the last one was a tall person wearing a hunter gear covering the entirely of their body. Even their face was hidden. But their bow was armed and ready to shoot.

"You seems to be in trouble, Luke" The red one said, before joining Luke up, with a big smile of him

"Kuro! Hanako, Waiston, Azaelon!" What are you doing here?"

Kuro pointed his thumb back, cibling the one called Waiston. "It's him. When we were on our way back to the guild, he picked your scent. Normally, he could just ignore that, thinking you're getting in trouble. Again. But he noticed you were not alone. He was curious, and tell us about that. And here we are."

Sooo, tell us. In what did you imply this time?" Hanako asked, insisting on the 'this time'

"You ask me like I was hyperactivve problem child" Luke whined

"She's not wrong" Azaelon said

Luke clutched dramatically a hand on his hearth "Argh. It's hurt. Whatever. I promised to help these guys. And I have th eintention to do it. So you will help me? Or you can let us manage that alone"

Don't worry buddy" Kuro exclaimed happily while tapping Luke's back "We did all that way, it's certainly not for going back without doing anything" the three others nodded in agreement.

"Oi! If it don't bother you. You could move your asses and give us a hand" Gray yelled, irrited without even looking at them. Even since they talked about why they were here, the robbers still attack. Despite the devaqting attack of Kuro, their number was still absurd.

Waiston sighted "No need to scream like that. Roar of the Frozen Dragon!" He parted his lips forward, a funnel of sharp ice shards running at the robbers. Some of them were flying backward, but it was clearly not enough.

Hanako took some of her seeds,and threw them at the mass. Once the seeds were on the ground,they grew exponentially. Dozens of lianas came out, trapping ennemies on the spot, unable to move or use magic.

"Well, that was unexpected" Erza said, dumbfouned by the surprise reinforcement.

"Don't worry about them. They're perfectly capable. Now..." Luke focused on the flying chief again. He placed both of his hands up. A giant ball of fire and lightning were forming. "Dazzling Blaze of the Fire Lighning Dragon!"

The massive ball was launched down the meat shield which separate them from their target. This cause, with pains creams,a clear open path.

Erza was not wasting time and flew at the blonde, who cursed

"Shit! But you will not risk to attack me. I have your precious flow-"

"Princess. I catch it" The upper half of Virgo spouted out the ground, having a tigh grip on the blonde's legs.

"Hey! Where do you come from?" The maid didn't respond, but he could see a tiny smile on her face. He looked back, and saw a terrifying view: Erza at full speed with a devilish smile. She swung one sword vertically, forcing the man to release the bag, or finished with a chopped hand. Finally, after all this time. Erza touched the precious bag.

"I have it!"

The Fairy Tail members, even the White Eclipe ones smiled at the view. Finally they could save their guildmate, but they better be hurry. Since their depaeture, the poison in Wendy expanded without stopping. Who know how many times remained.

Erza tried to put the bag on her shoulder, but it was was more heavy than she though

"Oof! How did that guy managed to carry that?"

"Try to find the corresponding flower" Luke advised. If she took that until the guild, never she would make it in time

"And it's...?"

Luke though during few seconds before remembering "Ah! I know! It's the purple one"

Purple, purple... Erza though while searching in the bag. There was every types of flower in there. Most of them were beautiful, but she concentrated on her mission. She grabbed it and posed her arm in the air, a big smile on her face "Here!"

"Now,someone must take it at the guild" Lucy said

"Lucy?"

"Are you sure?"

"We don't have the time tiotake out all of these guys" Hanako said "Just choose someone and go!"

"I go!" The one who respond was Cynthia, baffled the others.

"You sure?" Gray asked

"Yes! I'm the faster here. Erza, please hand me the flower."

Without taking the pros and cons. Erza used the ability of her actual armor to carry the flower until it reached the little girl. She could go herself, but she was surronded; Once Cynthia had a firm grip on it, she charged at the entrance.

"Happy! Take her and fly at the guild. We will kick all their asses." Natsu ordored

Happy didn't have the time to protest. Clockwas ticking. His wings appeared and followed Cynthia

"Like we will let you!" More ennemies appeared at the entrance, blocking Cynthia and Happy,who slowing down

"Ice Make: Geyser!"

"Falling Icicle of the Frozen Dragon!"

Gray placed his fist on the ground,creating ice spikes which propulsed the robbers in the air. A the same time, a cyan magic seal was forming in the air. Icicles were summoned from it and falling down at the flying no name. They were caugh by it, falling right at the geyser. From afar, it was like being crunched a a giant maw.

"Continue!"

"Don't stop!"

Accelerating, they passed through the cave. Peoplewho tried to shoot at them were beaten down by Azaelon and Sagittarus, after Virgo was retreated; After making sure they safely left the clearing, Hanako threw some seeds at the entranec. Growing bramble blocking it, making sure nobody could exit or enter

By following the reverse direction of the scents left by the four White Eclipse mages, Cynthia and Happy managed without difficulty exit thecave. To make things faster, Happy grabbed the girl by the backof her shirt. With that speed,they will arried at Fairy Tail in no time.

In the clearing, the mages continue to fight against what it seems to be a endless attack

"Damn it! How many are they?" Gajeel growled while taking out multiples ennemies in one hit

"Juvia wonder how they enter the cave with that number"

"I am seriously think they're cloned" Kuro said, placing a hand on his fist "Fire Make: Furnace!" Once again, it was a area type attack, but in a situation like that, it was the best choise between the power, time and magic comsumption. A magic seal appearedunder a hundred feet. From there, people in the radius started being on fire, literraly. They screamed in surprise and fear before being out. But don't worry! The fire extinguished when they were defeated.

"Stop talking. We have things to take of" Erza in the purgatory armor said with a command tone. Even if they didn't want to obey to a fairy, they shut it.

After a long time fighting, finally all the ennemies were down. They were all more or less bruised. Now it was time for verbal confrontation. As usual, Fairy Tail's mambers looked badly White Eclipse's, especcially Natsu and Gajeel. But it was reciprocal. Juvia stared Waiston without blink

"...What?" Asked the latter

"Juvia don't forget. Juvia will never forget"

By the time they know each other. They oftenly fight between them. Waiston, him, fough Gray. And even if he lost, the Make mage was in a bad shape at the end.

"Don't expect getting the merit" Natsu spat.

"The merit for what?" Hanako said "We only got into the crossfire. We joined you just becausewe wanted it. We literraly gain nothing to go there. But we did anyway.

"Instead mocking at us" Lucy whispered

"Think wathever you want. But we finished here. Guys, we go" Waiston lest, the brambles at the entra,ce disappeared.

"It was a pleasure, but it's time for me to leave" Luke siad with a tragic voice. "Farewell, Lucy" He blibked at her.

Lucyjust huffed at him "Thank you for helping us"

The five mages of White Eclipse left, leaving Fairy Tail alone, who sighted from tireness and stress.

"What an advanture" Gray said

"We didn't need their aid" Natsu growled

"What is done is done" Erza replied "I hope Cynthia made it in time"

"Don't worry about her" Gajeel smiled "Salamander's cat is with her. Even if he's not as fast as Lily, he sure fly fast"

"What's that suppose to mean?" Natsu screamed, smashing his head on Gajeel's, who did the same.

"What? It'snot my fault if my cat is way better than yours" Gajeel stroke back. Both of their eyes comically white in anger. Nobody noticed the hidden flower in Erza's armor, a scarlet one

Erza was about to step in, again, but Gray stopped her with an extended arm. Sighting, he said

"Just let them. They will eventually follow us"

They exited one after the other, letting the boiled blood fighting for their cat.

Cynthia and Happy arrived at Fairy Tail. Pushing hard the door, she sreamed "I got it!" Everyone lokked at her with confusion and relieve. Hapy, him, flied in zigzag, due to tireness, laiding lazily on a table, moaning incomprehensible words.

Cynthia ran at the first floor,to the infirmary. Carla and Lily were still here. Wendy's state was worse than ever; The poison spread until the upper half of her bust, her neck and the right arm entirely dark purple, while her other arm was partially covered. Her face was red and breath hard.

"I'm here! We can save her now!"

"Really? Carla was more than impatient to save her closest friend

"It's just here!" Cynthia showed her the flower.

"It's the antidote?" Lily asked

"If we put that in a soup, then it could work" Carla flew through the infirmary with the flower, hasting herself while Cynthia looked at Wendy with a mix of disgust, relieve and worry

Hold on a little more. In a few minutes, you will be out of danger.

Few moments passed, a,d Carla approached Wendy with a bowl containing a purple mix. Honestly it didn't seems to havea good taste, but it was not its first purpose.

Lily helped Wendy to bend forward, while Cynthia took the bowl and forced her to drink it. Her face tensed, but it was for her own good.

Barely she finished it already took effect. Her breath was slower and more fluid and the poison stopped spreading. Seeing that, Cynthia sat down to a chair, sighting "Pfiou!"

"She's safe now" Carla said, reassured

"We should let her now. She need to rest" Lily suggested. As they got off, Carla asked "Where arre the others? If you're here, then why they don't?"

"Ah. Hum" Cynthia scratched the back of her head "When I catched the flower. They said to go and not waiting them. Even White Eclipse said it"

"White Eclipse was there?" Carla was surprised,how, and why these guys wanted to follow them?

Cynthia and a now awaken Happy explained at the rest of the guild what happened. They were relieved that all this story was mainly well happened, but they frowned after hearing the name of their rivals.

Hours later, they came, without were a little worse to wear, butthey were fine

"Took you long enough" Cana said with a barrel of alcohol

"How's Wendy?" Lucy asked with concern

The two exceed and Cynthia amiled "She's fine, just a little rest, and she will be like all that never happaned" Cynthia jumped in excitation to be with Wendy again, even is she didn't know here for a long time.

Fairy Tail could now relaxing with that unexpected adventure. Bonus, Carla now didn't look Cynthia as badly as before. But she always doubted her, or whathever strange ralation she could have
