Silence had fallen in the vicinity with a small voice of Lisanna breaking the ice...
Lisanna : So at the end who won???
Now even the kids were having trouble seeing who was the winner of this, Erza looked at them with wryly smiling on her face before she said.
Erza : How about we count it for a draw??
Mira : It seems like this will be the only way...
Ur : Ai, i never knew Gray would be tied like this and not by one but two of them...
Gray was boiling with anger inside him but since it was his master that said that add to the fact that they did block his attacks twice he couldn't say anything and kept his anger inside him...
Lucy : So now what do we do??
Cana : We need to wait i guess for them to make a major move and haul them up all together??
Levy : So, for now, we can check everyone in the village and see if they need any help.
Erza : I agree although Gray's ice kept the liquid that rat called Angelica threw you never know if they had casualties...
Having decided where to go Erza kinda had a deja vu feeling and when she turned around the place where the kids where was now a blank space...
All the others saw her twisted face and when they followed her line of sight they were shocked to see the kids and this time all 8 missing from their spots...
Erza : Aaararggg... Not again!!!!
All of them felt like idiots that they didn't realise the kids were missing and Erza started raging as she rushed towards where the flying rat went trying to find them...
Mira : Follow her!!!
Lucy : Not again!!!
Happy : Aaaayeeeee...
Lucy : Where the hell have you been...
Happy : Playing in the trees as not to get involved with the fight...
Everyone was speechless by this cat, but it wasn't time for that they were running inside the forest trying to catch up with Erza who was slashing at the trees that were in her way...
Meanwhile back at Lyon's base, Sherryl was there sweet looking at Lyon and at that point, a masked figure appeared yet again...
Lyon : Is it you Zalty??
Zalty : Of course who did you expect except for me??
Lyon : The other two of the team...
Zalty : How is it going??
Lyon : We have a few intruders but nothing that i can't handle...
Zalty : I see which one??
Lyon : Fairy Tail wizards and a few kids...
Zalty started sweating when she heard who had come its been three to four days since the council part.
And now they stand here as well, He looked towards Lyon and sighed bitterly at his words.
Lyon : What's wrong???
Zalty : You have no idea...
Lyon was sceptical about his answer and he figured out that it wasn't so simple as he originally thought.
Lyon : No matter, everything will be set in stone slowly once Deliora awakens in the tower of heaven...
Lyon : Everything that is happening now is just the beginning of me gaining more power...
Zalty : I hope everything goes as planned...
Lyon : I will make it happen...
As they were talking with each other, the kids were following the two weirdo and the flying rats while Erza and the rest were trying to find them...
Lily : Was not that nice to do this twice guys...
Joe : Then why all of you followed us???
Allan : It wouldn`t be cool to leave us out of this...
Lily : But still Erza will be really pissed doing this twice...
Noel : We can show her a few puppy kids pleading eyes...
Chris : That sounds like a plan, it always works with our mothers making them beat up our father.
All of them started laughing when they realised how much their father got bruised here and there each time he went overboard in their training, they all thought i want to stay kids forever...
