The king and Byro marched through the castle before stopping in front of a large cannon pointed up at the lacrima. "The magic power Fale and I extracted from the Dragon Slayers was more than we could ever hope for. With it, we can latch on to any floating island you see fit. But I dare say it's obvious which one we should choice.
"The one where are our wonderous lacrima rests. Just imagine it crashing into that feline hive. The collision will vaporize them both, and their magic powers will fuse together, letting everlasting magic power rain down forever." Faust stared at the device in mad glory as Byro walked over holding a large key. "M'lord, take the key and end the false gods."
"Your majesty!" Both looked over their shoulders as Coco ran into the room. "Please, don't fire yet!"
"Coco!" Byro shouted annoyed. "How many times must I tell you not to scamper about like a child in the presence of our king!?"
Coco reached them and came to a stop. "Don't activate it. Lily's on the lacrima fighting the Earthland wizards."
Lacrima Island
Gajeel was using Happy as a flight pack and his Club to block the giant sword. "Impressive, for a flying furball."
"So this is the magic that Earthlanders use?" The giant Exceed asked himself. "Interesting."
"Figures I'd have to come to another world to find a decent fight." Gajeel mumbled as his arm returned to normal. "Let's kick things up a notch and see who can draw the first blood."
"I don't know how much longer I can keep carrying you." Happy said. "You're a lot heavier than Natsu. But then again I haven't dropped big ol' Lucy yet."
"You sure you should be saying something like that aloud?" Gajeel asked back. "She might actually hear you."
"Ah! I'm sorry, Lucy! I was just kidding!" The cat shouted in a panic.
"Let me down." Gajeel said as the giant sword shrank down.
"You sure about that?" Happy asked.
"Doesn't feel right having someone else's cat flying me around." Gajeel said. "Until I can find my own flying cat, I'll skip out on the aerial brawling and work my magic on the dirt."
"If you say so..." The cat listened and placed the Slayer down on the island.
Pantherlily's sword glowed again as he pointed it at the island. "Magical recharge complete. Bustermarm redeploy!" The blade regained its lengths and shined in the light.
"Gotta give a guy props for carrying that giant thing everywhere." Gajeel said before jumping out of the way of a swing. The blade cut through the island like it was nothing.
"He did that with one strike!" Happy shouted terrified.
"So it's not only freakishly huge, but the guy behind it knows how to use it." Gajeel said as he landed.
"When Bustermarm and I are done with you, you'll be nothing but a stain of rust on its crossguard!" Pantherlily declared.
"Cool with me." Gajeel said back. "The stain of rust is like a badge of honor to me, so bring it!" Both launched forward with a roar as Happy looked on.
Pantherlily swung his massive blade and Gajeel was forced to grab Happy and jump out of the way.
"We're on the ropes against this guy." The small cat screamed. "I hope you have a plan to turn things around."
"I'm just having a little bit of fun at first." Gajeel chucked back.
"I'd take this seriously!" The captain shouted before swinging again, forcing the Slayer to throw Happy to the side and block the attack. "Take your eyes off me, and it'll be the last thing you ever do."
"Don't get me wrong, I'm taking this seriously." Gajeel said back. "I'm just enjoying fighting a real opponent."
"Did you really have to throw me around like a rag doll!?" Happy asked.
"I just saved your blue hide, so no complaints." Gajeel growled. "So shut up! If I have to take you out to do that, I will!"
"I hang out with the scariest people." Happy mumbled.
"What do you say we skip the comedy and start the action?" Gajeel jokingly asked.
"Give me everything you've got, filthy Earthlander!" The captain said back.
Castle
"If you execute Code ETD's final stages, Lily will be executed too!" Coco warned.
Faust merely looked down at her in disinterest. "Why would that matter to me?"
Coco let out a gasp at the king's cruelty. "But... he's one of us..."
"Coco, sacrifices for the greater good are to be expected during times like this." Byro said, stepping forward.
"No..." Coco mumbled before flailing about. "I don't want Lily to be a sacrifice because he's my friend!"
"We cannot risk our kingdom's fate on a has-been Exceed!" The chief of staff shouted.
"Why are you being so mean!?" The girl shouted before grabbing the key from his hands. "I won't let you kill him!"
"Get back here now!" Byro shouted.
"Coco!" Faust shouted before thrusting his staff forward, sending a spark of lighting at her legs. The bolt hit, sending her falling to the ground. "You've loved to run since the moment you could run, haven't you? And like a father, I've enjoyed watching you run with carefree enthusiasm."
He sent another bolt at her, striking her legs and making her cry in pain. Byro looked on in absolute shock of the violent action. "But if you don't hand over that key..." Coco looked back for a second before forcing herself forward. "Byro! Capture her at once!"
"R-right away!" Byro nodded.
Coco ran down the hall, but every step made her wince in pain. 'It hurts... running has never caused me this much pain before... Why, your majest?... I want ever lasting magic power as much as anyone else... but I don't want Lily to die to have it! What do I do!?
Monster Academy
Natsu coughed himself awake before looking around. He was in some kind of class room, filled with strange creatures all wearing the same outfit. "Where am I? Wait, Lucy! Where are you!? You're not dead, are you!?"
"I'm in here!" He turned to a box at the front of the classroom before jumping down to it. "Let me out of this thing!"
"This isn't the time to be playing in a box." Natsu mumbled aloud.
"I'm not playing, you dolt!" Lucy shouted, shaking the box. "When I woke up, I was stuck in here! So let me out!" Natsu opened the box and stared at Lucy in shock. "What's up with the creepy look?"
Natsu's answer was pretty straight forward. "What are you doing in a genie outfit?" Lucy looked down, confused. Sure enough, she was in a genie outfit and she was horrified. Natsu noticed something on the side of the box and pointed it out. "'The Complete Actor Transformation Box. Come with us and explore the land of fairy tales with some fun transformations that everyone will enjoy.'"
"Fun and exciting?" Lucy asked.
"I think this dial here controls the costumes." Natsu said.
"My normal clothes better be in here." Lucy said before closing the box.
Natsu spun the dial and the box glowed a bit before Lucy went through a mirade of costumes, each just as rediculous as the last. The last one was just a swimsuit and a floaty, making Natsu laugh. "Stop playing around!" Lucy shouted before throwing him inside the box and giving him the same treatment.
"What was that about not playing around?" Natsu asked, in a matching outfit.
"Come on out, Earthland trash." Hughes mumbled from the outside.
"He found us." Natsu said, turning to the door.
"You don't get to sound cool when you look like a pervert!" Lucy shouted. "Now change me back before that creep comes in here." Natsu let out a small gasp before grinning. "What's with the look?"
"I just figured out how we're gonna beat this guy." He answered.
Hughes entered the class room and found no one. "Man, they must be weaker than I thought if they flew this far. Ore they're setting up a lame ambush. Either way, I'm not wasting another-"
"Hey, mister." He looked over to the large desk to find Lucy, in a swimsuit, posing. Lucy winked at him... and Hughes lifted his wand, making all the monsters sit up and surround Lucy. "That was so not what I was going for!"
"I at least thought the monsters would think you're KINDA cute!" Natsu shouted, disappointed that his plan failed.
"I should have never agreed to this plan!" Lucy shouted before running away from the mob. "And what's the deal with all the cheesy monsters in uniform?"
"These here are the students of Monster Academy." Hughes answered with a smirk. "Here, people get a look at the school life of every demon, goblin, and bloodsucker that's ever lived."
"Why does this always happen to me?" Lucy complained as she kept running. "You could at least let me change back into my normal clothes."
"What are you doing!?" Natsu asked.
"Running for my life!" She answered. "Now help me!"
"That's not even remotely cute!" Natsu face palmed, still focusing on the plan. "I thought those things always followed the damsel in distress routine." Hughes laughed at the blondes misfortune, catching Natsu's attention. "I guess I'll just go at you from the front."
"You plan on fighting me here in my monster academy?" Hughes asked. "If you're that ready to die, I'll help you out. This is my favorite place, you know."
"How kind of you..." Natsu said back. "But I'm not ready to check out yet."
Hugehs waved his wand and an automaton looking like a mummy rose up before him. "Mummy Bondage!" Wraps shot off the fingers and wrapped around Natsu's arms and legs. "Every monster inside this academy is the perfect soldier that will do whatever I want them to. Pretty sweet, don't you think?"
"You'll have to do better than that." Natsu declared before letting out a roar and setting his body ablaze, burning the bandages and the mummy.
"His whole body is on fire?" Hughes asked in shock.
"Fire Dragon Talon!" Natsu launched forward and hit the captain in the face with a kick.
Hughes flew through the air before waving his wand, making a giant Frankenstein slam it's fist down on Natsu. "Franken Knuckle!" The monster did it again and again, creating a giant dust cloud before Natsu finally blocked a fist. With brute force, Natsu pushed the giant off of him, sending it crashing to the ground. "He beat Frank?"
Natsu climbed on top of the monster and looked down on Hughes. "Come to me, monster army! Defend your master!" Hughes waved his wand and the monsters returned to him, but Lucy didn't even know it. The monsters surrounded Hughes as Natsu kept his head down.
"Let's see how you'll do when the entire student body wants you in a coffin." He pointed towards Natsu and the monsters marched forward.
"My turn..." Natsu mumbled before bursting into flames. The monsters stared at him in horror before moving to the side in fear.
Hughes looked at him before snapping back to reality. "Why are you standing around!?" He asked the monsters. "Destroy him! Now!" His monsters refused to listen and he looked back at Natsu. A pillar of fire rose up behind the pinkette before Hughes could swear he saw... "A real monster!"
With Lucy
Lucy kept screaming as she ran out of the attraction, ignorantly unaware that she was running from nothing. "Leave me alone, monsters and go back to your lives of homework and romance!" She reached a corner and crashed into Coco, sending both to the ground. "That hurt..."
She looked behind her to find herself monster free. "All the monsters are gone-" She turned back to Coco. "But I think I've broken her." The girl groaned in pain before Lucy looked at her feet. "Your feet are in really bad shape. Are you okay?"
"Help me... I can't run anymore..." Coco said.
"Coco! Come back here!" Byro shouted as he ran into the park.
"Help me, please..." Coco begged, lifting the key. "Take this and-" She looked up and noticed Lucy's face. 'Wait, she's one of the Earthland wizards we captured. This is bad. I can't give it to her. What should I do?'
Byro final reached them and panted. "This is your final warning... give me that key."
"My keys!?" Lucy asked standing up, completely missing the missing 's' from Byro'a statement. "You creeps wanna enslave my spirits!?" Byro looked at her confused as she gripped her key box. "There's no I'm gonna let that happen.
'I don't think she understands what's happening.' Coco thought as the blonde entered a 'fighting stance'.
"Don't worry, kid." Lucy told Coco. "I'm not gonna let him hurt us."
"You're one of those annoying Earthlanders, aren't you?" Byro asked. "What is the meaning of this? And what has happened to Hughes and Sugarboy?"
'Natsu can handle himself...' Lucy thought as she looked down at Coco. 'This girl definitely needs my help. And why does this creep want one of my keys?'
"Hand over the key at once." Byro demanded.
'Come on, why do I always get the creepy guys?' Lucy complained before pulling out a key and pointing it at him. "Oh, I'll hand you something."
"Huh?" Byro asked, tilting his head in confusion.
"I don't think she gets it." Coco mumbled.
"Open, Gate of the Golden Bull - Taurus!" Lucy chanted before summoning her spirit.
"Nice outfit, miss Lucy." The bull instantly went full on perv. "Wonder what that cow lady would look like in that?"
"Could you not perv out on Brianna when she isn't even here?" The blonde asked.
"What in blazes is that!? A magic cow!?" Byro asked shocked.
'The magic of Earthland is incredible...' Coco thought. 'But... he seems a little perverted.'
"If I do this for you, will you finally hook me up with that sexy cow?" Taurus asked.
"Make him see stars, and I promise I'll mention you." Lucy answered, lying. "Now get him!"
"Stars, coming up!" Taurus unhooked his axe and slammed it into the ground, creating a shockwave that went towards Byro.
'I can't believe it.' Byro thought as he jumped out of the way. 'She pulled that bovine brute out of thin air! How!? How did she do that!?'
"Lights out!" Taurus shouted as he jumped into the air.
"Lights on!" Byro threw a vial and red liquid hit Taurus, turning the cow into a walking torch. "Flame Liquid!"
"Taurus!" Lucy shouted as the spirit faded away. "Where'd that fire come from?"
"Watch out, he's dangerous." Coco warned.
Byro pulled out another vial and threw the liquid at Lucy. "Storm Liquid!" The goop turn into a series of tornados that sent Lucy crashing backwards.
The blonde came to a stop and took out another key. "Open, Gate of the Maiden - Virgo!" The maid popped up from the ground and uppercutted Byro.
"Another creature out of thin air?" Byro asked. "Is she using something similar to the Anima?"
The maid brought her hands together and they started glowing. "Spica Hole!" She slammed her hands down on him with enough force to crash through the floor.
"I rule!" Lucy bragged.
'She's so cool.' Coco thought.
"Would you punish me now, princess?" The spirit asked.
"You are just too wierd!" The blonde scolded.
'And she's a princess, too?' Coco asked, starry eyed. 'Maybe I should just give her the key after. I mean, magic power is fine and all, but I know if the king get this key, he'll hurt Lily. What should I do?'
The ground started shaking, catching everyone's attention. "What's with all the shaking?" Lucy asked.
"Perhaps it's just your tummy?" Virgo suggested.
"Way off base." The blonde sweatdropped.
The ground cracked open and a tentacle wrapped around Coco. "You're mine now, Coco."
"What the heck is that?" Lucy asked terrified.
"I believe that is a giant octopus." Virgo said.
"I can see that!" She shouted back.
"Correct, I've ingested Octopus Liquid!" Byron declared as his head popped out and brought the tentacle that held Coco to his face. "Yes, just keep screaming! No amount of that strange magic can save you know!"
"He's wrong, right?" Lucy asked.
"I fear he may be correct." Virgo stoically said.
"Are you really just gonna give up!?" The master screamed as the maid grabbed her and moved oit of the way of a tentacle.
"I may have Coco, but I won't be satisfied until I've taken out you!" Byro screamed as he rampaged around.
"That seems a bit much." Lucy said back.
"You seem to have bad luck with men." Virgo pointed out before getting whacked by a tentacle.
"You think this is a man!?" Lucy asked before faceplanting onto a red orb in top a Ferris wheel. "Virgo! Please help me! Get me down from here!"
"Princess, catch." Virgo threw a baton at Lucy, embedding it into the orb.
"You almost took my head off with that thing!" The blonde scolded. "What is that, anyway!?"
"It's extendable whip from the Celestial world." The maid explained as Lucy took it out of the orb. "The eridanus Constellations Fleuve D'etoiles."
"The river of stars?" Lucy asked, saying the translation.
"You can use it if you wish, but I don't think it'll be much help." Virgo added.
"Can you please try to be a little more positive?" The blonde asked as Byro took out the giant wheel. "Besides, its the only hope I've got."
Lucy rid the falling ride as Virgo flew past her. "Best of luck to you, princess." She said before fading back to her home.
"Here we go!" Lucy unveiled her new whip, pulsing in blue energy.
"More strange magic?" Byro chuckled. "It won't help you." She swung the whip and it did very little. "As I told you, it won't help you! Now, take my lashes!" He hit her with his tendril sent her crashing away. "Didn't you say you would deal with me?"
"Virgo was right! This whip is totally useless!" Lucy screamed.
"What's wrong?" Byro mockingly asked. "Is your strange magic failing you?"
'My magic...' Lucy repeated in her head. 'When ever I call multiple spirits, it completely drains my magic power.' She looked down at the whip in her hands. 'So that's why she gave this to me.' As Byro squirmed his way over, Lucy stood up. "Thank you, I won't let your gift go to waste."
"I hope you've said your peace!" Byron roared before slamming his tendrils down.
"She called this an extendable whip, right?" Lucy unfurled her whip and hooked Byro's tentacle, pulling it away from her resting place before running up the limb. "Get your tentacles off of her!"
"Why should I?" Byro asked, squeezing Coco harder. "She's part of our army, and is therefor your enemy!" He swung another tentacle at her, but missed.
"Can't you see she's hurting?" Lucy asked.
"This is just a taste of what's to come!" The octopus man declared, missing more strikes with his limbs. "Stop scurrying on me like a parasite!"
Lucy landed on a building behind Byro. "I have to care about her, since it's obvious you don't!" Coco seemed shocked by the statement. "And if that's how you feel, then I can't let you win!" She pulled on the whip and tied Byro in knots. "Because I'm a member of Fairy Tail."
"My legs!" Byro cursed before crashing into the Monster Academy. "How dare you lecture me!" His head suddenly burst into flames behind him. "What's going on!? I'm burning!"
The wall behind him crashed open, showing Natsu punching Hughes. "Is this monsterous enough for ya?"
"Natsu!" Lucy cheered as both landed on the ground.
'They took down Hughes AND Byro?' Coco thought in shock.
"What the hell is with this huge blob!?" Natsu asked
"You always did know how to make an entrance." Lucy joked.
"Hey, who's on the ground?" Natsu asked as Lucy walked over. "Do you know her?"
"I wouldn't say I know her." Lucy answered. "Are you sure you're okay?"
"This key is what he wanted." Coco spoke up, holding out the key. "It's what will turn on the machine that will kill your friends."
"Seriously?" Natsu asked.
"Are you talking about the thing that will make the lacrima crash into Extalia?" Lucy asked. "Why are you running around the castle with it?"
"Thye said we could have everlasting magic power, but now I just want everlasting peace." Coco answered. "So please, help me destroy this key for good!" She begged with tears in her eyes.
"So you're saying all we have to do is destroy that key and that will stop them from smashing our friends." Lucy summarized"
"Alright, I got this!" Natsu reached out to grab the key, only to grab air.
"Stop right there, Coco." Sugarboy said, sliding on his armor. "You should never hand something this important to the enemy. This key belongs to his majesty."
"Sugarboy!" Coco called out. "Give it back!"
"Stop right there!" Gray shouted as he drove a motorcycle off Byro. "You hear me!?"
"Of course I hear you." Sugarboy said back. "I'm just not listening to you."
"Gray!" Natsu and Lucy shouted at the same time.
"Listen, I'll deal with Mr. big chin here." The maker said as the bike landed and he drove it through a gate after the knight. "You go deal with everything else."
"Hmm. Just like a persistent little rat." Sugarboy commented. "You don't know when to quit, do you?"
"Say that to my face, I dare you!" Gray shouted.
"I need to deal with you quickly." The blonde mumbled before scraping his sword along the ground. "Rosa Esparda, do your thing." The ground softened behind him, forcing Gray to move to the side.
"We gotta catch up to him too!" Natsu shouted as he and Lucy ran after them.
"We need to get that key!" Lucy added before both sunk into the ground. "Seriously, this stuff again!?"
"I can't move my legs!" Natsu complained. "Lucy, you gotta get us out of this stuff!"
"Hold on a second." Lucy pulled out her new whip but before she could use it, Byro crashed down on top of them. "This huge octopus thing is gonna crush us!" Lucy whined like a scared girl as the lights shut off.
"See you again tomorrow." Sugarboy teased as Gray kept chasing him.
"I said stop!" Gray shouted. "And how in the hell are you even sliding around like that?"
Sugarboy looked down, just as confused. "I just do man."
"Okay..." Gray wasn't sure if he was creeped out or impressed. "So tell me what that key is for!?"
"It activates the Dragon Chain Cannon." Sugarboy bragged.
"What is that?" Gray asked.
"Sorry, that's all classified." The blonde teased.
'Going off just the name, I bet it has something to do with the Dragon Slayer Magic they stole from Natsu, Nicholas and Wendy.' Gray thought. 'She said the royal army plans on firing it at the lacrima. And that would force it into Extalia, destroying them both.'
"All that matters is that I can't let you have it." Sugarboy said, snapping Gray back to reality. "It belongs to the kingdom."
"That just means I can't let you get away with it either." Gray said before tilting his bike and hovering his hand above the ground. "Ice-Make: Floor!" Ice shot forward and worked its way over to the captain.
"Is an icy floor really all you can do?" The blonde asked as he tapped the ice with his sword. "My Rosa Esparda will soften whatever you send at me!" The ice waved around him before he suddenly started spinning out of control.
"You can soften it all you want, but it's still ice." Gray said as Sugarboy crashed into a pillar. He then twisted his handlebar and started spinning the bike before he jumped off it, sending it crashing towards Sugarboy.
"I've told you a thousand times..." Sugarboy started before his blade softened the bike before it hit him. "It won't work on me." Gray then jumped up from behind and reached out. "The key!"
"Now shatter!" Gray shouted as he grabbed the key and trapped it in ice. Both men glared at each other before Gray noticed that the key hadn't shattered. "What gives?"
"I'll admit, this is cold." Sugarboy said. "Nice try, ice boy."
"I hate that stupid nickname!" Gray shouted. "Seriously, why isn't this thing shattering?"
"This isn't some flimsy piece of junk, ya know." Sugarboy said as the ice grew. "Now I'm not in favor of holding men's hands for long periods of times, so could you let go?"
"Speakiing of hands, don't you see that I have the upper one?" Gray asked back.
"What do you mean, ice boy?" Sugarboy asked.
"I told you I hate that nickname!" Gray shouted. "Just because you guys need this key, doesn't mean we do." His explanation confused the knight before Gray blasted another wave of ice on it. "If I can't use it, I'll make sure you guys can't either! So freeze!"
"It may freeze, but my Rosa Esparda will soften anything it touches." Sugarboy pointed out.
"You sure about that?" Gray asked back. "One wrong move, and your key turns into a pretzel."
Sugarboy growled, realizing he was right. "Well, fine-tuned is my middle name."
"What the heck does that even mean!?" Gray asked.
"Precision..." Sugarboy said before swinging his blade wildly at the ice. "I'll just cut you're arm off! You're ice won't save you now!"
"So you wanna fight, huh?" Gray asked, sending another blast of ice at the knight. "I'll just freeze you along with it, but I'm never gonna let go!" Sugarboy started chopping at the new ice before the two went back and forth freezing and melting.
"Let go!" Sugarboy shouted. One last round and the key developed a small crack in its head. "What the- The key actually cracked!?"
"You bet I did." Gray smirked back. "Now watch it shatter into pieces."
"Wait, stop it right now!" Sugarboy shouted. "You're really gonna break it!"
"If that what it takes to save my friends!" Gray shouted back, covering the key in more ice. "I'll break this key into a million pieces!"
"Wait, you don't understand!" Sugarboy shouted. "You and your friends need this key as much as we do! Let's just call a truce for now, okay?"
"Why would I do that?" Gray asked, slamming the armored man into the wall behind him.
"Why, because its the only way to turn your friends back to normal." The blonde said back.
"Is that so?... What a crock of shit!" Gray said back.
"It's the truth!" Sugarboy shouted back. "The Dragon Chain Cannon fires concentrated Dragon Slayer magic. If you knew what that kind of power could do here, you'd see why you need that key."
Gray went wide eyed remembering what Gajeel said when he woke up. "I was able to shatter the lacrima using my Dragon Slayer magic. After that, it turned the three of you back to normal. That's how it works in this crazy world."
"Blast that lacrima with the cannon, and you'll turn all of your fired she back to normal." Sugarboy said as the key kept cracking. "Do you finally get it now? Neither one of us can afford to lose this key. You might even need it more than me."
"You don't know anything." Gray said back. "We have four dragon slayers with us. Why do we need a cannon when we can use the real thing? So sorry, but your key is history."
"They'll never be able to shatter the lacrima on time." Sugarboy said back. "As soon as tomorrow, the whole thing will transform into magic power. Our plan was to drive into Extalia before that happens. With four Dragon Slayers, you might be able to save some more of your friends. But you won't save everyone, and that's not including the civilians trapped in their with them. What about them?"
Gray growled as Sugarboy glared at him. "Now, let go." The key cracked a little before the whole thing broke apart.
"You just told me everything I needed to know!" Gray shouted as Sugarboy stood flabbergasted.
"Y-y-you broke the key!" He shouted before bending over and scooping the chunks into his hands. "I wasn't bluffing, ya know!" Gray looked as he walked away as Sugarboy charged him. "Do you want you're friends to be destroye!?" He thrusts his sword forward, only hit the jacket and not the man.
"You're wrong!" Gray said before bringing his hands together. "I'm bringing everyone back to our world!"
'This is bad. He got between me and my weapon.' Sugarboy thought in a panic as Gray's arms grew ice blades on them.
"Ice-Blade: Seven Strike Dance!" Gray spun around seven times and hit Sugarboy every time, sending the captain flying back with broken armor.
"You just made a terrible mistake, ice boy..." The blonde groaned, forcing himself to his hands. "That was the only thing that could have saved your friends... and like a fool you destroyed it."
"You know why I hate the name 'Ice boy?'" Gray asked, bringing his hands together. Sugarboy went wide eyed as Gray crafted a perfect copy of the key. "It cause I'm an ice-make wizard."
I'm sorry, I have to say this: NOT EVEYRHING IS ABOUT YOU, LUCY! But I will give her props on her new whip, it actually looks cool.
