Chapter 17: The Exceeds Find Four Friends

Carla: Hey everyone! The possibly long awaited Chapter 17! Now, Trenton does not own Fairy Tail! That right is Hiro Mashima's only! Now, enjoy chapter 17!

Me: Thank you Carla. I myself have gotten sick of saying that. Thank you for doing it for me.

Carla: You're welcome Trenton. I can't believe Happy hasn't woken up yet from what I thought to him.

Me: *chuckles and says sarcastically* I wonder why Carla. It isn't like I know what you thought to him.

Carla: *Blushes* S-Shut it Trenton.

Me: *starts laughing and almost falls over.* I know everything you thought to him. But the thing is, can anyone else take a guess?

Carla: *puffs out her cheeks in anger* Probably.

Me: *keeps laughing and says while laughing* Alright everyone. Enjoy Chapter 17. Tell me what you think. It honestly does help me and motivate me.

Carla kept flying as Happy's fur kept tickling her in a special place and she had to keep preventing herself from moaning. Carla looked forwards and heard behind her. "I think I see a castle Carla." Carla turned her head to look at Lector. She asked, "Really?" Lector nodded and pointed in front of them. Carla and Frosch looked to where he was pointing and saw something dark and gloomy in the distance. Frosch asked, "Didn't the note say something about a castle." Carla's Precognition kicked in and she saw Happy in the Castle. Behind him was everyone, including Natsu, Wendy, Sting, and Rogue. They had been taped up with some sort of Magic Tape that didn't let them use their Magic. Happy's eyes seemed to spark and flame. He had a bright orange aura around him. In front of him was someone she had never seen before. Carla's Precognition stopped and she shook her head to clear it. Frosch looked at her with concern in his eyes. He asked, "Are you okay Carla?" Carla took a breath and answered, "Yes, the note said something about a castle, and yes Frosch, I am fine. Thank you for your concern." Frosch smiled and said, "Anytime." Carla nodded and kept flying towards the castle with Happy underneath her, and Lector and Frosch on either side of her.

At the castle:

Lector and Frosch landed in front of the castle. Carla used her Air Magic to slow her descent so that she could land safely without waking Happy. Ever since Carla had her first Premonition of Happy, she tried to get more so she could see how strong Happy really was. Carla kept thinking about her Premonition she just got. Clearly, regardless of how hard she tried, she would not be able to stop it from happening, but that didn't mean she couldn't try. She looked at Happy, who she had gently set down on the ground to let him sleep, she sighed with relief as she saw that he wasn't awake. Lector mewed, "How are we going to get him inside the place without waking him?" Carla shook her head to show she did not know. She mewed, "We cannot leave him. We all might have to carry him unless he wakes." Frosch nodded and looked at the entrance of the Castle. He said, "The entrance is closed. No way in." Carla sighed and said, "Damn, we might have to wake Happy. None of us are strong enough to open the door. Unless you two secretly lift weights or something." Lector shook his head no. So did Frosch. Carla sighed and mewed, "Well damn." She walked over to Happy and gently shook him to wake him. Happy stirred and opened his eyes. He blushed as he saw Carla's face above his. He quickly glanced down. He mentally sighed with relief seeing that Carla was not on top of him. Carla blushed and smiled as she muttered to him, "You are so lucky Lector and Frosch are here. Otherwise things may have happened." Happy blushed while Carla giggled at her tease. Happy blushed more and gently caressed Carla's cheek. He smirked as he saw and felt Carla go silent. Carla was blushing a dark red. Happy smirked and said, "Guess I win this one. I can't believe you made me faint from what you thought to me!" Carla blushed even redder and kissed Happy quickly. Happy blushed and kissed her back gently. He slowly got up. Lector and Frosch ran over and smiled. Lector said, "Alright you two. God damn. Get a room. We all know you want to." Happy and Carla blushed super red. Happy punched Lector in the arm gently as he said, "S-Shut it Lector. T-That is mine and her secret i-if we want to!" Lector and Frosch fell over laughing. Happy got to his feet and asked Carla, "We are there aren't we?" Carla nodded yes, Happy looked at the door. It was wooden with Metal Bolts and such in it. Lector and Frosch finally stopped laughing and got to their feet as well. Lector mewed, "We need you to open the door man." Happy nodded and slowly walked over to the door, clearly still exhausted. He felt the door with his hand. He felt no Magic radiating from the door. He pushed on it slightly and nodded. He took a deep breath and tilted to his right and raised his left foot. Happy was basically sideways. He took another breath and kicked the door with all his night. The sound of something breaking was heard and the door flew off its hinges. Happy took a breath and put his foot down. Carla, Lector, and Frosch all looked at Happy shocked. Carla thought to herself hoping Happy was too busy to hear her thoughts, 'W-Wow. God damn. E-Even exhausted he is still super powerful. I-I do not know what I am feeling! I feel all warm and fuzzy and want something! What is this?!' Happy turned and walked back towards them. Carla shook her head and smiled. Lector and Frosch regained their composure and smiled as well. Happy nodded and mewed, "Alright everyone. Our friends are in there! We need to get them! Together, nothing will ever stop us! TOGETHER, WE CAN SAVE ALL OF OUR FRIENDS! WHO'S WITH ME?!" All the Exceeds except Happy yelled, "AYE SIR!" Happy nodded. Carla ran to his side. Lector and Frosch did so as well. Lector was on the left side of Happy, while Frosch was on the right side of Happy. Carla was close enough to Happy that their fur brushed against one another. Happy smiled and so did Carla. They all ran into the castle.

Inside the Castle:

Everyone ran into the Castle. Their steps made noise as they all ran. Happy looked up as he ran and realized how dark it was inside it. Happy summoned a Fireball in his hands so they could see. As the Fireball lit the area around them, they saw 4 people that seemed to be tied up. Carla gulped silently to herself as she remembered her Premonition. Happy looked to his sides and nodded. Everyone nodded back to him and they all started running towards the people who were tied up. As they approached, they felt the ground shake beneath their feet. Happy muttered to himself, "Ah shit." He used his Magic to put a Fire Shield around everyone, including the ones who were tied up, but himself. Happy threw the Fireball at the wall in front of him. He gulped as the Fireball flew past something. The light of the Fireball was just enough so that Happy could see what it was. The creature was something so hideous, so large, so giant, that he could not describe it. He took a breath. He looked behind him to make sure everyone was behind him safely. He smiled weakly as he saw everyone was behind him. His eyes wandered and he gasped. He saw Natsu's face. Just seeing Natsu's face filled Happy with strength and determination. Happy stood up straight. Carla gulped in fear as she felt Happy's emotions, heard his thoughts, and felt the massive increase in his Magical Power. Happy felt something within him stir. He walked towards the monstrous creature. With each step Happy took, the ground shook and seemed to tremble from his Magical Power. Carla looked at the creature. She muttered, "A-A troll?! N-No way!" Lector and Frosch looked at the troll and shook their heads to clear them. They got up to go and help Happy. Happy turned around and shook his head no. Lector and Frosch, who were hesitant to let Happy fight it alone, sighed in defeat and nodded. Carla said to them, "He will be fine. Trust me." Lector and Frosch nodded and Lector said, "I hope you're right." Carla muttered to herself, "I hope I am too."

Happy walked closer to the creature and took a breath. Happy yelled so the creature could hear him, "MY GOD! YOU ARE SO FUCKING UGLY! NO WONDER YOU ARE HERE ALONE! I BET YOUR MOTHER ABANDONED YOU! ANYWAYS, THAT'S BESIDES THE POINT!" As Happy yelled, the creature reared back its fist. All of a sudden, Happy's body burst into flames and his 6 wings came out. Carla looked at him in shock. Happy's wings were literally on fire, and he had six wings! The troll roared and punched Happy. Happy was sent skidding across the ground. He landed heavily on his back but got up immediately. Happy rushed forwards and flew into the sky. The flames around Happy's body became a significant white color. Natsu, Wendy, Sting, and Rogue all looked at Happy in awe and shock. Frosch said to the tied up DragonSlayer's, "We are here to rescue you guys. Let Happy deal with the Troll alone." Sting and Rogue turned their head to look at Frosch with their jaws dropped, well, dropped as much as they could since their mouths were gagged. Frosch chuckled lightly and said, "I know. Amazing isn't it? I didn't say Fro says. We can talk about that later. Just, watch Happy." Sting and Rogue nodded and turned their heads back towards Happy. Happy was still in the air dodging everything the Troll did to try to hurt him. Happy ignited his paws so that they were covered with fire. Happy flew at the troll and reared his fist back, and punched towards the troll's face. The troll punched towards Happy's hand, clearly expecting to send Happy flying again and to break his fist, but Happy didn't move at all. As their fists made contact, flames shot around the troll's arm. It was a war to see who could move the other's fist. Happy moved the troll's fist a little. Happy took a breath and thought, somehow managing to block Carla from his thoughts, 'I do not think I can win. I may be the strongest in the group, but this troll could easily crush me. I think.' Happy shook his head and pushed the troll's fist forwards even more. Happy roared and all of a sudden, he started changing, he became larger, his muscles became much more defined, he became taller, he got abs, etc. Basically, he looked like a blue version of Pantherlily when Pantherlily was in his battle form, but much more powerful. Happy took a deep breath and flames spread across his body.

Natsu looked at Happy in shock in awe. He shook his head and tried to struggle against the ropes. Carla walked in front of him and shook her head no. She said, a little too loudly, "Happy can deal with the creature by himself. Have faith." The troll heard Carla speak and turned its head towards Carla and where everyone was. Happy noticed and muttered, "Ah shit." Happy withdrew from the battle between the fists and flew down towards Carla, Lector, Frosch, Sting, Rogue, Wendy, and Natsu. The troll raised its foot and stomped down on them. Happy had managed to make it there in time and caught the foot. He yelled, "TAKE THEM AND RUN! I GOT THIS!" Carla yelled back, "I REFUSE TO LEAVE YOU HAPPY YOU KNOW THIS!" Happy sighed and reared his fist back and punched the troll's foot and made the troll stumble backwards. Happy yelled, "AS YOUR LEADER, I DEMAND YOU ALL TO LEAVE! PLEASE! I REFUSE TO LET THIS BASTARD BEAT ME! LEAVE!" Carla sighed and said, "Alright Happy. If you do not come back, I will never forgive you." Happy smiled and mewed, "I will always come back. Even if something manages to kill me, I will find a way to come back. Even if I have to dig my way out of Hell, I will always come back to you Carla. I promise." Carla blushed and smiled as she said, "That is all I wanted to hear." Happy smiled back and mewed hastily, "Now please leave! I do not want any of you to get hurt!" Carla nodded and turned around with hesitation. Happy watched her run away and turned his head back to the Troll, which had managed to regain its balance. Happy took a breath and muttered, "Battle time."

With the rest of the crew:

Lector watched Carla run out of the castle, her eyes watering. Frosch walked over to her and patted her back as he mewed, "It's fine Carla. He will be just fine, you know this." Carla mewed, "I-I know, but I can't help but worry. H-He is my mate after all." Lector looked shocked and mewed, "You two did it?!" Carla blushed a dark crimson red and said, "N-N-N-N-N-No! W-W-We h-haven't!" She thought something to herself and blushed even more at what she thought. Lector chuckled and said, "I know you two haven't. We would've heard it. More like we would've heard you since it would be your first. Anyways. We can only cheer on Happy from here." All of a sudden, the ground shook. Lector looked behind him and muttered, "Not now! Damn Vulcans!" Carla looked at the Vulcans and shook her head to clear it. She started to run to the tied up DragonSlayers. The thing is, Frosch beat her to it. Frosch sprinted to them and let his claws appear. He cut the ropes that held the DragonSlayers; all in one motion. The ropes fell and the DragonSlayers got up. Natsu turned to run into the Castle to help Happy. A large Vulcan got in his way. Natsu reared his fist back and yelled, "GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY WAY!" Natsu's fists ignited in white flames and he punched the Vulcan in the chest. An audible Crack was heard as the Vulcan's ribs broke. The Vulcan fell to one knee while Natsu punched it under the chin and sent it flying. It flew into a tree and the tree broke in half from the force of it hitting the tree. Natsu sprinted towards the Castle. Carla sighed with sadness and summoned a wind barrier to prevent Natsu from entering the Castle. She yelled, "YOU BAKA! DO YOU NOT THINK I WANT TO HELP HIM TOO?! DO YOU NOT KNOW HOW MUCH THIS HURTS?! LETTING HIM FIGHT BY HIMSELF?! IT HURTS ME! GET BACK HERE AND HELP US! HAPPY WILL BE FINE! TRUST ME!" Natsu turned back around and looked shocked. All of the DragonSlayers looked shocked at Carla's announcement. All of them thought the same thing 'Is she admitting her feelings for him?!'They all shook their heads and Lector said, "Now! Together, let's defeat these Vulcans for when Happy gets back! LET'S DO THIS!" Everyone nodded and started to fight the Vulcans.

Back with Happy and the Troll:

The troll turned its head as it heard something coming from outside. It started to run towards the door. Happy summoned a large fireball in his hand and threw it at the troll. The fireball hit the troll's arm and a large explosion was heard as it made contact. The troll turned back to Happy, clearly angry. Happy took a deep breath and took to the sky once more as the troll walked towards Happy. The castle shook every time it walked. Happy took another breath and let his Magical Power grow and build. Happy's muscles, since he was still in his battle form, bunched in anticipation. The troll took a swing at Happy and Happy let his wings vanish and he dropped. He let his wings reappear and he flew up to the troll's face. Happy punched the troll's nose and blood spurted from it as Happy's fist first made contact. The troll stumbled backwards, flailing its arms. The troll's left arm hit Happy and Happy was sent flying into a wall. Happy's wings wavered and became transparent for a split second. Happy shook his head and his wings became a dark orange color. Happy pushed off the wall with his feet. Happy yelled, "HELLFIRE SECRET ART! SCARLET EXPLOSION!" Happy's hands glowed bright red and a large red ball appeared in each of his hands. He clapped them together, and the two red balls combined and the resulting red ball was sent flying towards the troll. It made contact with the troll's chest and the red ball collapsed on itself and expanded immediately. A large Explosion was heard and shook the castle.

Back with the rest of the crew:

Everyone heard the Explosion. They all looked at the castle and saw it shake. Carla gulped in fear and winced in pain as she felt like she was launched into a wall. She fell to her knees for a split second. Wendy turned around and saw her fall to her knees. Wendy ran over to her screaming, "CARLA!" Everyone looked at Carla. Carla shook her head to clear it of pain. She thought Happy just got hit. Carla took a breath and stood up. She said, "I am fine everyone. Just some random pain! Everyone keep fighting the Vulcans!" Wendy shook her head and healed Carla just in case it wasn't just random pain. Carla nodded her thanks and Wendy smiled and turned to get back to fighting. All of a sudden, the sound of a thousand cannons firing was heard and they all looked at the castle and watched it shake. Carla looked at the castle in fear for Happy's safety. Natsu, Sting, and Rogue yelled at once, "EVERYONE! KEEP FIGHTING THE VULCANS!" Everyone nodded and continued fighting.

Back in the castle with Happy and the Troll:

Happy summoned Fireballs in his hands and threw them at the troll. The troll yowled in pain. Happy took a deep breath and yelled, "HELLFIRE SECRET ART! FIRE OF THE SOULS OF THE DAMNED!" Happy's body ignited in flames and Happy was launched forwards by an unseen force and Happy's fists were covered in some sort of unearthly flame. He let his fist move in front of him and was launched through the troll's left arm. The troll's left arm was immediately set aflame. The weird thing was that the troll's arm had no hole in it, and if Happy looked close enough, he could see flames in the shapes of Souls walking across the troll's left arm. Happy took a breath and breathed fire onto the troll's neck. The troll yelled in pain and Happy looked at the troll's left arm. There was nothing left. It was nothing but a pile of ash on the ground below him. Happy's Magical Power was dwindling and he could feel it. Happy took a deep breath to relax himself. The troll turned around and took a swing with its right arm. Happy, who was still looking at the pile of ash which used to be the troll's left arm, was hit and knocked 50 feet across the castle into a wall. He felt another pain, which felt like something stabbing him. He looked at his right arm, and saw something metal sticking through it. Blood made a stream down Happy's arm, and off of his fist to the ground. Happy had to hold back a scream of pain.

Back with the rest of the crew:

Carla, who was fighting the last Vulcan, felt a sharp pain in her back and on her arm. She closed one eye, a clear sign of pain, and fought back a scream. She backed away, clearly in a large amount of pain, from the Vulcan. Wendy saw this and rushed over to her. Sting and Rogue nodded to one another and rushed towards the Vulcan. Rogue yelled, "GET CARLA AWAY FROM HERE! WE CAN HANDLE THE VULCAN!" Wendy, who was almost in tears, nodded and picked Carla up and ran away towards Natsu. Natsu's eyes seemed to spark, much like Happy's did when Happy was angry, but not as much of a spark as Happy's. Sting and Rogue threw the Vulcan behind them, not knowing that was where Natsu was. Natsu picked the Vulcan up by himself, and threw it into a tree, back first. An audible SNAP! Was heard as the Vulcan's back broke. Natsu walked over and said menacingly, "Don't you ever hurt my best friend's love interest. " Natsu smiled evilly. The Vulcan gulped in fear. Natsu grabbed the Vulcan's head and said menacingly, "Understand? Tell all of your friends in when you get back to them." The Vulcan growled in an attempt to intimidate Natsu. Natsu chuckled and twisted the Vulcan's head sharply to the right. The Vulcan twitched as its neck snapped. Natsu picked the dead Vulcan up and burned it until there was nothing left. Natsu took a breath and shook his head to clear it of guilt of killing the Vulcan. Natsu turned around and said, "I am sorry you all had to see me kill the Vulcan." Everyone said, "It's fine. We promise." Natsu smiled with relief. He walked over to Carla and Wendy and asked, "Are you okay Carla?" Carla nodded and said, "I have to tell you something Natsu. Alone." She looked at Wendy when she said this. Wendy sighed and muttered, "Fine." Carla mewed, "Thank you Wendy." Wendy nodded and said, "You're welcome." Carla got up and walked towards the Castle, motioning for Natsu to follow her. Natsu nodded and walked towards Carla. Carla stopped walking at the draw bridge and summoned her wings using her Aera magic. She flew up to Natsu's ear and whispered, "The reason I was feeling is pain because Happy felt that pain. Happy and I are mates and we have the Mark of Mates. The Mark allows us to feel each other's pain and hear each other's thoughts. Happy and I are supposed to be mates. It was pre-determined by something. I am really glad though." Carla finishes with a smile. Natsu nodded his understanding than gasped. "S-So Happy got hurt?" Carla nodded sadly and mewed, "He was stabbed by something. Right now, he may be bleeding out, but I would know if he was. For I would feel the blood loss and all." Natsu nodded in understanding and said, "Well. Shall we get back to the others?" Carla nodded and flew back to Wendy with Natsu behind her. Carla lightly groaned in pain as she felt like she was being pinned.

Well. Why is Carla feeling pain at the end? No one knows but me. As always, I hope you enjoyed Chapter 17. See you in the Next Chapter! EXCEEDS! GIVE ME AN OUTRO!

Carla: *wincing in pain* God damn! I feel like I am being pinned! What the fuck Trenton?!

Me: *chuckles* Sorry. I have to add suspense. Forgive me Carla.

Carla: *growls angrily* If you kill Happy, I will fucking hunt you down and murder you.

Me: *gulps in mock fear* He won't die! *decides to tease* Yet.

Carla: *her Magical Power grows immensely* WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU SAY TRENTON?!

Me: *gulps in actual fear* NOTHING! HAPPY IS FINE!

Lector: Well, while Trenton runs for his fucking life. Frosch! OUTRO HIM!

Frosch: *nods and mews* Trenton is doing his best to post more. He even stopped his other story for this one. To many perverts wanting a Lemon between Issei Hyoduo and Raynere. Only after one chapter. *starts chuckling* Anyways. Please, excuse any grammar mistakes. Well. Goodbye for now! And as always! We hope you enjoyed!
