Nashi didn't know if she was happy to be back in the general area of Phantom Dove, but she didn't voice her complaints to any of her teammates, she didn't want them to know she was on edge. She could tell that Drake was being edgy as well, and Elise was just kind of muttering to herself and saying she felt like she'd been here. The job itself was relatively simple, mind you. A little girl had run off from Watercliff town and they went to find her. Nashi argued something fierce that she didn't want to return to the area, but everyone said it was fine, and she trusted her friends, so she went. The money was pretty good for such a small town, anyway.
"Anyone see anything?" Nashi heard Simon call off to her left.
"Nah," She heard Drake reply somewhere to her right. "Are we even sure this girls still out here?"
"She only went missing a few days ago." Ul replied somewhere off in front of Nashi. "Keep looking" Nashi could understand the groups discomfort at being around each the whole charm spell incident a few days ago, the sexual tension was a bit too much to bear. Nashi sighed as she looked around a bush and sighed. This little girl sure was elusive if she was around her somewhere. Nashi knew she was one to talk about people surviving ridiculous odds, seeing as she had, but this was a little girl they were talking about here. Nashi wasn't sure she had the means to find a way to survive for longer than a few days, and that mark had come and gone. Nashi sighed as she turned on her heel and walked back through the bush towards her friends, who were already standing around waiting.
"Nothing?" Elise asked. Nashi shook her head.
"I couldn't find anything" She replied. Damien shook his head and growled.
"This is ridiculous." He said angrily. "Why the hell are we out here looking for a little girl who could be dead?"
"So you want to abandon the job just because you're bored?" Ultear demanded. "Seriously, if this girls is alive or dead, I think our little group of all people have a duty to find her."
"Easy Ul" Drake grumbled. "Damien has a point, this girl could be dead or long gone. Shit, how do we even know she's not run off somewhere else?"
"You guys are ridiculous" Ultear growled. "We have to find her!If you guys are big enough pussies to want to leave then..."
"Pussies!?" Nashi demanded. "Pardon Ul, but did you almost lose your life in this fucking forest? So excuse me I'm more than a little excited to jump at a chance to get out of here"
"Oh just run that river dry, won't you?!" Ultear shouted. "You're fine, Drake is fine, Elise is fine!"
"Of course I'm fine, why wouldn't I be?!" Elise growled.
"How about we lock you up in a cell and not feed you for a month Ul?!" Drake shouted, uncrossing his arms and glaring at her. "I don't think you'd want to see that cell again, would you?!"
"Why did Ul say I was fine?!" Elise interrupted angrily. Nashi watched as a argument exploded within the group, Drake and Ultear were yelling at each other, and Damien and Elise were having a shouting contest. Nashi decided to join in and yell at Ultear.
"WILL ALL OF YOU SHUT THE FUCK UP!?" Simon shouted angrily, his rage rolling off of him in waves. Simon could be just as scary as his mother when he got like this. "We're all tense because of the charm spell thing, I got it. Arguing and shouting isn't going to fix that we all fell in love against our will, and the fact that we're sitting here and screaming at each other about this while this little girl is alone and probably dying IF NOT already dead, is completely childish!"
"A-aye sir!" Everyone shouted, falling in line.
"Now, split up and look around. Nashi, go with Damien over there. Ul, go with Drake over that way. Elise, you're with me. Get going before I tear you all another new one" Nashi practically ran to her assigned area, Damien hot on her heels. When they were a fair distance away, Damien sighed.
"Mavis, he's as bad as Erza" He muttered. Nashi nodded silently.
"We were being pretty childish though" Nashi said, and Damien chuckled.
"I can't believe we were fighting about that charm spell bullshit. I mean, I know it's awkward cause were all friends and everything, but I didn't know it was that bad."
"Simon almost seduced Ul, I kissed Drake, and you and Elise were flirting up a storm" Nashi giggled at Damien's discomfort. "I think we needed to let up a little steam."
"Yeah, true" Nashi and Damien were silent as they searched, but Simon's little tirade didn't change the fact that they couldn't find anything. Nashi could hear Damien muttering insults directed at anyone, even herself, but she didn't call him out on it. She, as with everyone else, was way to stressed out to deal with this right now. Taking the job and being alone in the forest, had them all on edge, Nashi and Drake more so. "Anything?" Damien called.
"No," Nashi said, standing up. "Not a thing" Damien was about to shout back at someone else when he was interrupted by a bright blue light from the sky. Nashi looked up curiously, and saw a giant blue, what looked like a hole, in the sky, sending off waves of blue energy. Before Nashi could ask what the hell was going on, She saw her body beginning to glow, and she began to levitate into the air, Damien as well.
"What the fuck?!" Damien shouted, doing his best to look and sound angry while floating upside down floating into the sky. "What the hell is happening?!"
"Let me down!" Nashi turned to find Drake and Ultear getting lifted up as well. Ultear was the one shouting.
"This is bullshit!" Elise shouted from Nashi's left.
"Why does this shit always happen to us?!" Drake demanded as Nashi's vision faded.
When Nashi woke up, she was lying on a stone cold floor. She yawned and sat up, looking around. She couldn't tell where she was, but she didn't like it. When looked around, and saw a few statues around the room, albeit they looked rather old and had several cracks.
"Hello?" She called out, looking around, rubbing her eyes. "Anyone? Guys?"
"Nashi? That you?" Nashi looked around. "Nashi, over here!" Nashi turned and found Damien ten feet from her.
"Where are we?"
"Don't know. We got sucked into that weird blue hole in the sky and bam! I wake up here. You okay?"
"Yeah. What do we do?"
"I don't know, but the door over there is locked." Nashi followed Damien's finger and saw the huge metal doors behind them "We could probably..." Damien was cut off by the huge doors opening, and at least 2 dozen armed men rushed in.
"In the name of the Royal Edolas Army, surrender immediatedly!"
"Who?" Damien asked, standing up, Nashi did as well. "Edolas?"
"Surrender, immediately!" Damien chuckled.
"Well, how about we not, and...well, fuck it." Damien raised his hand, obviously attempting a takeover. Nothing happened. Damien stared at his hand angrily, severely confused, and tried again. and again, and again. "What the fuck! Nothings happening!" Nashi raised her fist and attempted to light it on fire, but nothing happened for her either.
"Is our magic negated?" She demanded. The armed men advanced, and she paled. "Uhhh...we come in peace?"
The army men were anything but gentle. They pushed and pulled and whatever they felt like doing as they were forced down a hallway. One of them almost tripped her, and she sent them a venomous look. They were pushed through a pair of gilded doors, and they stopped.
"Terribly sorry for the interruption, your highness" The squad leader spoke. "But we've apprehended intruders in the Anima room."
"Have you now?" Nashi knew the voice, but couldn't place it. She waited with bated breath as a guard forced her too look up by grabbing her chin.
"Easy" Damien hissed. Nashi looked up towards the thrones, but she couldn't see anything past the feet of the thrones. She gulped.
"Your highness, that face..." A female voice spoke up. "She's..."
"I know, I know" The king replied. "Where did you find them again?"
"The Anima room, your Highness" Silence befell the throne room. Nashi waited until the king sighed.
"Let them go and leave us" He ordered.
"W-what, your Grace?"
"Leave us!"
"Y-yes sir! Right away!" The squad left and the king sighed.
"Terribly sorry," The King spoke. "I didn't realize who you were"
"Damn right you didn't!" Damien shouted. "If you did you wouldn't fuck with us!"
"Damien!"
"I mean what the fuck man! You could've at least put a heater in that fucking room!"
"Damien! You realize this is the king, right?"
"And?" Nashi was interrupted by the king chuckling.
"You're just like Laxus" He said. "Although of all people he'd have a child with, Mira was my last guess."
"How the hell do you know my parents!" Damien demanded.
"And you, girl" he said. "Natsu and Lucy?"
"huh?" Nashi asked.
"Your parents. Natsu is your father, Lucy is your mother, correct?"
"C-correct..."
"Thought so. Natsu you dog..." Nashi was severely confused until the queen herself coughed.
"Your Highness?" She asked, and Nashi was sure she'd heard that voice before.
"Right right, I know" He sighed, and began to step down, and Nashi felt his eyes widen.
"Jellal?!" She asked, Damien making a confused sound as well. Jellal chuckled.
"I assumed you'd recognize me by my Earthland counterpart" He said. "But I think you guys would better recognize me by the name thrown around Fairy Tail"
"W-which is...?" Nashi asked. Jellal smiled.
"Ever heard of Mystogan?"
And,scene! Hope you guys enjoyed, leave a review!
