Chereads / Fanfiction Dog / Chapter 36 - Chapter 34-35

Chapter 36 - Chapter 34-35

A mysterious man appears at Magnolia at twilight.

Lucy, Natsu, and Happy are at the Guild. Lucy is frustrated because she cannot pay her rent again, but Natsu is hung up on the fact that Virgo isn't there to help him dig up the album. Natsu has a quick change of heart, and is ready to go on a job, a reaction that makes Lucy cry from joy. A man appears hiding behind the wall, and Lucy gets the feeling she is being watched. Natsu and Happy attribute this to her being overly self-conscious.

"Those two really do get along." Mira commented.

"Yeah..." Aira mumbled.

On her way home, Lucy again gets the feeling that she is being watched. This time it's not just a feeling: she is being followed by a hooded man. She tries to run for it, but the man catches up to her and reveals he is none other than her father. In an ironic twist of fate, he tells her that he lost everything, and the man who he used to be is no more. Lucy's only concern is her mother's grave, but her father took care of that. He moved it to another location, one he discloses to Lucy. The even seems so impossible to him that he believes it's all laughable.

Lucy impatiently asks why he is in town, to which he replies that he came to see his daughter. He also states that he is going to start from the beginning, so he asks Lucy for 100,000 Jewel to go to Alcalypha so he can work in a merchant guild there. When Lucy answers she doesn't have that kind of money, he snaps, and shouts at her to give him the money. Lucy then reminds him of the time she returned home, and told him she has nothing to do with his wealth and fortune. She advises him to do the same, and orders him to leave, heartbroken.

Lucy gets to her apartment and in front of her home, she finds Happy and Natsu waiting. "Sergeant Happy, is everything normal?!" Natsu saluted.

"Aye, sir! Captain!" Happy replied.

"Hey, welcome home." Natsu greeted.

"Lucy, there's no one suspicious around here." Happy stated.

Lucy gives them a weak smile, looking at the ground. "Thanks..."

"Captain! This private here lacks enthusiasm, sir!" Happy stated.

"Why am I a private?" Lucy commented.

"Yup, seems like it." Natsu chuckled. Lucy walks past him. "Everything okay, Lucy?" Natsu and Happy notice a figure hiding in the background.

Lucy turns around. "Don't tell me he's..."

Happy flies over to where the mysterious figure is hiding. "Captain! I spotted a questionable subject!"

"There you are!" Natsu jumps on the figure.

"That hurt, you jerk!" Aira growled.

"Aira!" Lucy finds him on the ground.

"So it was Aira that was following Lucy!" Happy pointed out.

"N-No, it's not..." Lucy added.

"No! I heard that Lucy was being followed by someone suspicious, so I couldn't leave her alone!" Aira stated as he looks away. "I came to see how she was doing."

"He lllikes her!" Happy teased.

"What kind of running gag is that?!" Aira yelled.

"I never really liked you, but when you just dropped even worse in my book, Aira!" Natsu said.

Aira jumps up. "Oh, yeah?!"

"Is stalking girls really your thing?" Happy taunted. Aira easily gets irritated with the exceed. "Keep it up and you're going to end up like Gray, a giant per-" Aira punches Happy all the way to the moon.

"I'm not going to end up like him!" Aira argued.

"I ain't said nothing!" Natsu stated.

"Shut up, you crazy flame spewer!" Aira shouted.

"Bring it on, water breath!" Natsu shouted back with his hand on fire. The Dragon Slayers go at it again.

"Please don't fight in front of people's houses!" Lucy yelled. She then laughs at them which makes her feel at home.

The Next Day...

"Lucy, let's go on a job!" Natsu exclaimed.

"Let's go!" Happy jumps in excitement.

"Sure!" Lucy agreed.

"So, what kind of job are we going on?" Happy asked.

"Ain't decided yet!" Natsu replied.

"This." Aira holds up a flier to show them. "Capture the escaped convict Velveno."

"Velveno?! You mean, Velveno, the Guild Hunter?! So they found out where he is?!" Happy blurted.

Natsu laughs out loud. "This guy uses some awesome magic! I'm fired up!"

"The reward is 400,000 a person." Erza stated. "You can pay your rent with that, Lucy."

"Yeah! That's about 6 months' worth. I'll do it!" Lucy agreed. However, she overhead of recent events in Alcalypha and demands that Macao and Wakaba tell her where Alcalypha is located. She hurries there, worried about her father.

Lucy finds Alcalypha's 'LOVE & LUCKY' Merchant Guild is being held hostage by the Dark Guild Naked Mummy. Lucy is unable to enter the location, so she summons Virgo, who directs her inside. Virgo is worried about the fact that the Mages are inside, but Lucy decides that she can handle them.

What Naked Mummy is doing is a robbery, but one of the thieves gets impatient and tries to shoot one of the hostages, but Taurus and Lucy intervenes. Lucy attacks using Cancer and Sagittarius, and giving him the final blow with Lucy Kick. Cancer then releases all of the hostages.

Lucy looks for her father, but nowhere to be found; she looks inside and outside, but he is not there. After some moments he arrives, and tells Lucy that he was traveling by foot, so he couldn't have made it there in time. He inquires why she is here, to which she responds that she was worried for him. Jude learns of his daughter's love, and thanks her, but Lucy asks him not to get the feeling that she forgave him. He apologizes for the night before and tells her that it was at this guild where he met her mother. He tells Lucy that when her mother was pregnant, they decided to quit the Guild. While leaving, they spotted that the letter 'K' on the Guild's signboard was missing, and it spelled 'Love and Lucy' Therefore they decided to name her Lucy.

Lucy playfully scolds him for picking such a name on a whim. Her father concurs and states that he came just to see Lucy, not Lucky Lucy of the Heartfilias.

Lucy hears a rumble ahead of her. She sees her team in the distance. "Lucy, you safe?!" Natsu asked.

"What happened?!" Aira added.

"Lucy!" Happy cried out.

"Could it be you handled everything here by yourself?" Erza asked. "Not bad."

"Yeah, well..." Lucy looks at her father who nods back. "Stay well, Father." She bids farewell to her father as she leaves with her team.

"What was with you all of a sudden?" Natsu asked.

"It was nothing!" Lucy replied.

"Nothing my ass!" Aira commented.

"We canceled the job!" Happy complained.

"Sorry about that." Lucy apologized.

"Layla..." Jude looks up at the orange sky. "I was really such a fool..."

At the headquarters of the Naked Mummy Guild, the guy from before is being punished for his failure. Two odd figures appear, Gato and Zato, who seemed concerned with paying their debt to the Oracion Seis.

Meanwhile, on top of a mountain, a mysterious figure with a snake remarks that he can hear the sound of the light crumbling.

At the 8island restaurant in Hargeon...

"Welcome to 8island! Have you decided your order?" Lucy is working as a waitress wearing an orange miniskirt, long sleeved shirts, and white thigh socks.

"I would like a blue-sky with meat sauce, and a holy soda-poyo." The customer replied.

"I'd like the beast-man curry." The other customer replied.

"Right! Thank you for your order!" Lucy brightly smiles at them, writing down their orders. "Would you like some dessert with that?"

"Then I'll also take one of these ruby parfaits-poyo." The customer replied.

"Same for me." The other customer replied.

"Coming right up." Lucy walks away.

"Please take my order, too!" The third customer said.

"Yes, coming!" Lucy agreed. In a split second, she realizes she's enjoying this too much. "Wait... What the heck am I... am I doing?!" She slams the notepad on the ground, but it bounces back and hits her face.

"Lucy." Natsu said.

"What?!" Lucy yelled.

"This is part of the job, you know." Natsu stated, holding a tray of food.

"I don't see how this is a job for wizards at all!" Lucy complained. "And what's with this embarrassing getup?!" She looks at her outfit.

"How should I know?" Natsu commented.

"Well, I do look pretty damn good in it, actually." Lucy admires herself.

"Right, whatever." Natsu commented.

"The chef at this restaurant uses magic to cook." Happy's wearing a black vest and pants along with a red bowtie. "That's why he wanted his waiters and waitressess to be magic users as well."

"Yup." Natsu starts eating the customer's food. "We're helping out too, you know."

Lucy throws a plate at him. "Don't eat the customer's food!"

"And don't throw the serving tray!" Happy commented.

"Sometimes dressing up like a waiter is pretty nice." Gray's holding a tray of drinks while wearing nothing but a red bowtie.

"Try saying that after you put on the outfit!" Lucy said.

"Come on now... Whose rent are we doing this for again?" Gray reminded her.

"Sorry..." Lucy shrinks back.

"And besides... take a look at those two." Gray whispered to Lucy as she watched Aira walking up to a table with four woman.

"Hello, ladies. May I take your order?" Aira asked, winking at them and making the women blush madly.

"He's so cute!" One of the girls said.

"Cute? He's hot! I need to start dating wizards!" Another girl exclaimed.

"Take a look at Erza." Gray said. Lucy turned to Erza.

Erza sits on the table, leaning close to the customers. "Let's hear your order. What is it you desire? Come... Tell me..."

"Uh..." The customers blush madly, not being able to find their words.

"I-I want..." The other customers think for a while.

"Yes!" The third customer replied.

"Please give us one of everything!" The three customers exclaimed.

"Oh? That will be a great help. I must give my thanks." Erza said.

"Glad to be of service!" The three customers blush more.

"Those two are really into it..." Gray sweat dropped.

"I'll work hard too..." Lucy commented.

"This is yet another battle to be won!" Erza said.

After work...

"Well then... Good work, everyone." Yajima said. "Kids these days sure do work hard... Come back any time."

"Yes. I learned a lot today." Erza nodded.

"She's into the outfit..." Happy commented.

"I think I understand better how Mira-chan must feel..." Aira added.

"Man, what a feast!" Natsu pats his large stomach full of food.

"You ate too much of the store's food!" Lucy stated.

"What's the big deal about it?" Natsu pouted.

"What's with your attitude?!" Lucy asked, irritated.

"By the way, Yajima-san... What has happened with the Council?" Erza asked.

"Well, I've already retired." Yajima replied.

"The Council?!" Natsu and Aira raise their voice, shocked to hear it.

"What, you didn't know?" Lucy asked. Natsu and Aira shockingly turn their heads to Lucy. "Yajima-san used to be a member of the Council." Natsu and Aira shouted in surprise.

"Zuuku... Or was it Zullal?" Yajima tries to remember one of the members.

"Jellal." Erza corrected.

"Ah yes, that's right." Yajima finally remembers. "The betrayal of Zullal and Ultear was quite the blunder for the Council." He remembers about the destruction of the Magic Council. "Now should be the time to establish a fresh, new Magic Council, and the groundwork for it seems to be laid in all quarters." The flashbacks of Jellal replay in Erza's mind. "It caused you all quite a lot of grief, it did... I am really sorry about it."

"No... I've heard that you were set against firing Etherion the entire time." Erza stated. "And you even retired out of shame for the actions of the Council."

Yajima cooks something while flipping it with the pan in his hand. "I'm not fit for governing..." His brown eyes shoot open. "As I thought..." He does a dancing move as he catches the pan. "I have a lot more fun being a cook!" He leans closer to the Dragon Slayers. "By the way, Natsu-kun, Aira-kun..." They get scared of him, sweating nervously. "There will be a new Council now. I won't be there any longer. That means that no one will be there to speak up for Fairy Tail. Be sure to behave in a way that keeps that in mind!"

Natsu and Aira swallow hard as they shake their head up and down rapidly. "We'll behave!" Yajima nods in agreement.

Team Natsu go on a carriage to leave the town and go back to the guild.

"Say hi to Macky for me!" Yajima waves them goodbye.

"Thank you very much for today!" Lucy waves back.

A breeze of wind goes through Yajima as he looks up at the sky. "Ultear, huh? I wonder where she is now..."

On Grimoire Heart's airship, Ultear is wondering about the actions of the Oracion Seis. She is revealed to have been a member of Grimoire Heart from the beginning. Her Master, Hades, wants to take this opportunity to search for Zeref's keys, hiding in the ruckus Oracion Seis will create. He hopes Oracion Seis will destroy some pests, namely Fairy Tail.

At Fairy Tail...

"What's this?" Lucy asked. There is a large chart in the air with different charts.

"It's an organization chart for the Dark Guilds." Mira replied.

"Yes. I drew it." Reedus commented.

"When you look at it overall, there are quite a lot of them." Erza said.

"Why?" Lucy asked.

"Because lately it seems like their activity has increased." Mira responded. "We have to strengthen the bonds between guilds."

"What's the big oval?" Gray asked.

"Juvia knows. It is the Baram Alliance." Juvia replied. "The Baram Alliance is the most powerful force of Dark Guilds, combining the three guilds of Oracion Seis, Tartaros, and Grimoire Heart. Each of them have a number of associated guilds, and they control the world of Dark Guilds. Then there's the guild that acts independently of the rest, Raven Tail."

"Huh?! Eisenwald?" Lucy looks up at Erza with a straight face.

"Yes. That's the guild that Erigor was in." Erza stated as Lucy sweat drops.

"So that was one of the guilds associated with Oracion Seis, huh?" Aira said.

"There's a lot of names that I remember up there..." Wakaba commented.

"Aren't there some that used to be official guilds, too?" Macao asked.

"Ghoul Spirits, the one that the Raijin Tribe destroyed, was also one of them." Mira stated.

"And the guilds Juvia, Gajeel-kun, and Satsuki-san destroyed when we were in Phantom were all from Oracion Seis!" Juvia exclaimed with a bright smile.

"Please, don't go smiling about it..." Gray commented.

Lucy shivers to herself. "Uh-oh... I hope they're not angry..."

"Don't worry 'bout it! There's nothing to fear! From the rumors I hear, they've only got six members!" Wakaba stated, consoling Lucy.

"Damn, how small a guild is it?" Macao asks as Lucy agrees.

"But even only with six people, they're a member of the strongest organization." Mira stated.

Master Makarov appears at the entrance of the guild. "About that Oracion Seis..." The guild members turn to look at their master. "We're going to attack them."

There is silence in the room for a moment.

"Welcome back, Master!" Mira welcomes the Master as everyone else falls. "How was the regular meeting?"

Lucy crawls back up, putting her hand on Mira's shoulder. "Way to miss the point!"

"Master, what are you taking about?!" Erza asked.

"At the regular meeting the other day, we discussed the recent activity by Oracion Seis. As it is not something we can ignore, we decided that some guild has to fight them." Master Makarov explained.

"You pulled the short straw again, Master?" Gray asked.

"And Fairy Tail will take on that role?" Juvia added.

"No... The enemy this time is too powerful." Master Makarov walks down the stairs as he continues on. "If it were only us, then afterwards the Baram Alliance would retaliate only here. And that is why we have formed and alliance ourselves!"

"An alliance?" They all ask at once.

"Fairy Tail! Blue Pegasus! Lamia Scale! Cait Shelter!" Master Makarov names the Guilds that are coming together. "These four guilds will each send out members to strike these guys down!"

"But we could handle it ourselves, no problem!" Natsu exclaimed. "It actually, I could even handle it myself!"

Erza cracks Natsu's neck by pushing his face. "Naive fool! The Master is thinking about the consequences afterwards!" Natsu cracks his neck back in place.

"So... Wait a second..." Lucy shivers once again. "The enemy only has six members, right?! How crazy powerful are these people, then?!"

"Why do I have a feeling like something really bad is going to happen?" Lucy asks herself. "And wait... Why am I participating in this again?!"

"It's not a picnic for me either, you know. Stop complaining." Aira said. Lucy gives him a pouting face as well as Happy. Natsu groans from motion sickness.

"The master chose who went. Shouldn't we be happy he trusts us with this duty?" Erza said.

"If he trusts us like that, then why are Gray and Satsuki here?" Aira asked.

"The Master told us to keep an eye on you guys just in case you destroy something more than just a Dark Guild." Gray replied.

"It's not like I wanted to come on this mission anyways..." Satsuki scoffed.

"But when it comes to fighting, there's Juvia and Gajeel..." Lucy said.

"Well, the two of them had other jobs to do." Cain replied.

Natsu sinks lower, groaning. "So... Are we... there yet?"

"In the end, we do have strong team members." Lucy commented.

"Don't you think that it's for the best? This will be the first time teaming up with other guilds." Erza stated. "The first thing that's important is forming better ties with the other guilds."

"I can see it!" Happy arrives at their destination. "There's the meeting place!" The meeting place is large with a link interior and heart-shaped windows.

The team get off the carriage to go inside the building. "This place's decor is seriously creepy..." Lucy commented.

"This is Master Bob's villa, from Blue Pegasus." Erza replied.

"Him?" Aira asked. He remembers about the time where Master Bob tried to flirt with him and Natsu. "I-I'm not so good with him..."

"Now, now, don't go there." Erza said. "He's powerful enough to give our own master a run for his money, despite..."

"I see..." Gray said.

"Are we there yet?" Natsu groaned, sitting on the floor.

"Yes, we're here, Natsu." Happy replied.

"Yes, you've arrived!" A voice said with a ringing noise in the background.

"Arrived!" Two other men repeated.

"Hey, hey, hey, hey!" The mysterious figure claps his hands.

"Welcome!" The other figure claps after him.

"Fairy..."

"...Tail..."

"...folks!" A light shines down on the three figures. "Sorry to keep you waiting!" The team stare at them, watching every move they're making.

"We..." The figure in the middle speaks.

"...are the representatives chosen..." The shorter figure speaks after him.

"...from Blue Pegasus..." The last figure said.

"Trimens!" All three of them said.

"Hibiki of the Hundred Nights!" Hibiki poses with sparkles around him.

"Eve of the Holy Night!"

"Ren of the Silent Night."

The Trimens pose together, wearing fancy suits.

"Trimens from Blue Pegasus? How cool!" Lucy blushes madly. "And the one called Hibiki... He's always at the top of the "I wish he were my boyfriend" ranking in Weekly Sorcerer! You're that Hibiki Laytis!" Hibiki winks at her.

"Crap! I forgot to put on clothes!" Gray freaks out.

"You should control your stripping habit more..." Aira sweat dropped. Natsu crouches onto a pillar, still feeling sick.

Lucy sweat drops at them, embarrassed to be near them. "Those guys? Not a chance..."

Erza looks to her left at Hibiki. "Your beauty doesn't do re rumors justice." Hibiki snaps his fingers, winking at her.

Then, Erza looks to her right at Eve who is kneeling down in front of her. "How do you do, Titania?"

Now, Erza looks straight ahead with Ren approaching behind her. "Now, come this way."

The Trimens place a couch for Erza to sit. Hibiki kneels down, holding out a towel to her. "Have a hot towel."

Eve brings in a coffee table with a wine in a bucket. "Are you hungry?"

"No..." Erza replied.

"We have cake. How about some?" Hibiki asked.

"I'll pass." Erza denied.

"What's going on here?" Lucy asked.

"You... Have a seat yourself." Ren approaches Lucy. "And hey... You're just too damn cute." His hand slithers around her waist, making her blush more.

"What's with them?!" Aira asked, irritated.

"Who are they?" Natsu groaned.

"Let's work together for this plan." Erza said. "We need to combine our strength and..."

"So cute..." Eve blushed. "That demeanor of yours... it's wonderful. I've always looked up to you."

Ren slides a glass of champagne in front of Lucy while looking away from her. Lucy looks at him weird and confused. "I-It's not like I made it specially for you, or anything..."

"Now he's tsundere?!" Lucy yelled.

"Come... You must be tired from your long journey." Hibiki said. "Spend tonight with us..." Erza and Lucy sweat drop at him.

Ren and Eve slide next to Hibiki. "Forever!" Erza and Lucy are speechless and dumbfounded by their acts.

"Guests..." A mysterious voice said. A figure walks down the stairs. "Stay right where you are."

"What's that silky smooth voice?" Lucy shivered.

"It's Ichiya-sama!" Ren pointed out.

"I-Ichiya?!" Erza nervously asked.

Ichiya holds his blue rose. "It has been quite a while, Erza-san..."

"I can't believe it... You're joining us?!" Erza asked, looking up at the stairs at Ichiya. She starts to tremble, already feeling uncomfortable with him.

"I've longed to see you, My Honey." Ichiya poses for her, acting glamorous. "Ichiya is here, at your service! *sparkle*."

"My Honey?!" Lucy and Happy shrieked. Erza's speechless, trembling in fear. "Erza is... shaking!"

Ichiya slides down the railing of stairs. "What an unexpected..."

"What an unexpected..." The Trimen repeated.

"...reunion!" Ichiya said.

"...reunion!" The Trimen pop mini fireworks for him.

Ichiya jumps up and makes a flip, landing perfectly at the end of the railing. "Wasshoi!" The Trimen continue to repeat after him.

"You're Ichiya-sama's girlfriend?" They kneel down, clapping for Ichiya. "How rude of us!" They bow to Erza in apology.

"I deny it, with all my might!" Erza pointed at him, angrily.

"Clean up! We didn't come here to play around!" Ichiya ordered.

"Right, Boss! Right, Boss!" The Trimen quickly clean up the place.

"Weren't they calling him "Ichiya-sama" before?" Lucy asked.

"They're not consistent, are they?" Happy commented.

"I've heard about you." Ichiya said. "Erza-san... Lucy-san... Satsuki-san... and the rest." He acts loyal to the women, but doesn't care for the guys. He sniffs their scent. "Excellent parfum!"

"You're freakin' me out, you know..." Lucy trembled.

"Sorry... I can't really handle him either." Erza backs away. "He may be an incredible wizard, but..."

"Listen up, you crappy Blue Pegasus boy-toys!" Aira shouted, glaring at them. "How about you stop makin' passes at our princesses, huh?!"

"You men can go home now." Ichiya brushes his words off. Aira grits his teeth, getting irritated with Ichiya.

"Thanks for coming!" The Trimen bow to him.

"They send posers like you on an important mission?! I could wipe the floor with you!" Aira threatened.

"Try us." Ren challenged.

"We're strong." Eve added.

"A fight?! Let me join!" Natsu finally awakens, all fired up.

"Stop it, you two!" Erza ordered.

"Erza-san..." Ichiya slides through. Erza trembles once again, not able to move. "Your parfum is incredible, as always..." Ichiya sniffs her scent.

Erza punches him away. "Stay away from me!"

"Men!" Ichiya cried out.

"She went and did it!" Lucy yelled. They all watch Ichiya fly away.

"Men..." Ichiya gets stopped by a hand which freezes his entire head in ice.

"This is quite the greeting." The man said. "You consider yourselves equal to Lamia Scale?" Lyon asked.

"Lyon?!" Gray didn't expect him to come.

"Gray!" Lyon shouted in surprise.

"So you joined a guild?!" Natsu asked. Lyon looks away from him, throwing Ichiya somewhere.

"Men! Men! Men..." Ichiya's head hits the ground, breaking the ice. He bounces everywhere. "Men... Handsome men..."

"What the hell are you doing?!" Gray asked.

"He started it." Lyon replied, not interested in the conversation.

"What do you think you're doing with our General?!" Ren asked.

"How awful!" Eve said.

"I think all the men should just leave!" Hibiki suggested.

"Oh? But there's a woman here as well!" A woman uses her magic to manipulate the carpet. "Doll Attack! Carpet Doll!" She attacks Lucy.

"Me?!" Lucy shrieked. "And wait... That magic..." Lucy looks at the woman giggling, who happens to be Sherry. "Sherry! You also joined Lamia Scale?!"

Sherry chuckled. "I won't allow you to say you've forgotten me. And please, forget who I was in the past!"

"Make up your mind!" Lucy commented.

"For Love, I have been reborn!" Sherry said.

"M-More parfum for me!" Ichiya hops to Erza.

"Stay back! I'll cut you!" Erza takes out her spear.

"Lyon!" Gray growled at Lyon.

"Gray!" Lyon faces him, ready to fight him.

"Bring it on!" Natsu yelled at Aira who is standing aside from the chaos.

"Hey, now..." Aira sweat dropped.

"I cannot love you." Sherry said.

"And I hate you, too!" Lucy yelled.

"Cease this!" A cane is slammed on the ground, catching everybody's attention. "We are making an alliance to defeat Oracion Seis! This is not the time to be fighting among ourselves!"

"Jura-san..." Lyon looks at his fellow comrade.

"Jura?" Erza repeated.

"He's the ace of Lamia Scale... Iron Rock Jura." Hibiki stated.

"Who?" Natsu asked.

"He's one of the 10 Great Wizard Saints!" Happy replied.

"Even I've heard his name before..." Lucy commented.

"The Fairies and Pegasus have quite a number of members. But for us, just three is more than enough." Sherry stated as Lucy gives her a pouting face.

"With this, three of the guilds have gathered. All that's left are the people from Cait Shelter." Jura stated.

"People? I have heard it is only one person." Ichiya dangles off the end of Erza's spear.

"One person?!" Erza questioned.

"They only sent one person for a mission as dangerous as this?!" Aira asked. Meanwhile, the member is making her way to the meeting place.

"Wait... How crazy dangerous is this guy?!" Lucy asked.

Right on time, the young member arrives to the building, but trips on her face causing a loud noise. They turn around to see the last comrade.

"Owwy..." The young girl stands up. She brushes the dirt off of her clothes. She has dark blue hair along with brown eyes. She wears a yellow and blue striped dress and wing like attachments around her wrists and ankles. "Um... I'm sorry I'm late. I'm Wendy Marvel, from Cait Shelter. It's nice to meet you all!" She has a bright smile on her face, greeting everyone nicely.

"A kid?!" Lucy commented.

"A girl!" Lyon didn't expect the last comrade to be a young girl.

"Wendy?" Natsu and Aira both ask themselves.

Erza squishes Ichiya under her foot. "What a surprise... This little girl is..."

Ren stares at her. "Wendy..."

"...Marvel." Eve finishes for him.

"And now, all four guilds have gathered." Jura resumes to the plan.

"You're just going to continue on?!" Gray asked.

"But seriously..." Lyon said.

"Sending this one little girl for such a big mission?" Sherry said. "What is Cait Shelter thinking?"

"Oh? She's not alone, Miss Too-Much-Makeup." A white cat spoke out loud. Happy stands there in utter shock while Cain just sits on Aira's shoulder. The white cat wore a pink and yellow dress with a bow on it and around her tail.

"A cat?" Gray asked.

"Looks like it." Lyon replied.

"The same as Happy!" Natsu exclaimed.

"As well as Cain..." Aira added.

"It talks!" Lucy pointed out.

"Too much makeup? How cruel!" Sherry muttered.

"That's her problem?!" Lucy commented.

"Carla, you came with me?" Wendy asked.

"Of course! I'd be far too worried with you going alone." Carla replied.

"Huh, sounds like Cain." Aira commented. Cain just sighed at him.

The Trimen pose in their signature move, once again. "A cat?"

"Delayed reaction?!" Lucy yelled.

Carla turns to look at Happy. After a moment of silence, Happy's eyes turn into hearts with his heart pounding. He's too nervous to move or talk to her. Carla turns away, uninterested. A lightning bolt strikes down in Happy's mind, feeling shivers crawl up his spine.

Happy walks over to Lucy, looking up at her. "Hey, Lucy... Would you give her this fish of mine?"

"Wait, is this love at first sight?! Now, now... You have to make your move yourself or it won't work." Lucy teased. Happy sheepishly grins, tapping his paws together as he rubs his face. "You lllllllike her!" She mimics Happy, finally having a chance to tease him about love.

"You're mimicking me! And you're rolling your tongue 3 times more!" Happy stated, yelling and correcting Lucy.

"U-Um... I can't fight at all... But I can use a lot of magic that can help support you. So... So please don't leave me out!" Wendy said, too shy to speak to them. They all stare at her.

"It's because you're always so weak-kneed that people look down on you!" Carla stated, putting her hands on her hips.

"I-I'm sorry..." Wendy apologized.

"I'm saying not to apologize so quickly!" Carla added.

"I'm sorry!" Wendy nervously sweats as Carla loudly sighs at her.

"I apologize. I was a bit taken aback at first, but it wasn't my intention. I'm glad to have you with us, Wendy." Erza welcomes Wendy to the group.

Wendy admires Erza, happy to see her in person. "It's Erza-san! It's really her, Carla!"

"She's a batter woman than I thought she'd be." Carla commented.

"Hey... Have you heard of me?! I'm Happy, the Necomander!" Happy introduces himself, hoping that she will take interest in him. Carla ignores him, facing her back to him. "She's all nervous! How cute!"

"Looks more like she blew you off, but whatever." Lucy commented.

"You're useless, Lucy. You can't understand a woman's heart." Happy said.

"Uh... I do happen to be woman, though... Whatever." Lucy feels dumbfounded by what he said.

"That girl is going to grow up into a real babe." Ren commented.

"I think she's pretty cute already." Eve added.

"Come this way, little Miss." Hibiki's already making a move on Wendy.

"Um..." Wendy shrinks back.

"Jumpin' the gun?!" Lucy yelled, surprised to see the Trimen flirting with the young girl.

"How could I describe the girl's parfum? It's not something you smell every day." Ichiya stated.

"Have you noticed, Ichiya-dono? Her magical power is something different than ours. Almost similar to Aira-san's..." Jura declared. "It looks like Erza-dono has also noticed." Erza feels a different type of magic in Wendy.

"Impressive, as usual." Ichiya said.

Ren and Eve sit next to Wendy at the couch as Eve serves her some drink. "Would you like some orange juice?" Eve asked.

"Seriously, you're just too cute." Ren complimented.

"Please, have a hot towel." Hibiki kneels in front of her, holding out a towel.

"Um... Uh..." Wendy feels nervous and uncomfortable around the Trimen.

"What is with these men in heat?" Carla asked.

Aira stares at Wendy for a while. He notices Natsu doing the same thing. "Natsu, do you think she's like us?" Aira asked.

"Wendy... I know I've heard that name before, I think..." Natsu replied as he continues to think.

"You know the girl?" Aira asked.

"Can you remember for me?" Natsu asked.

"Hell no!" Aira refused. He continued to look at Wendy. He sees that Satsuki is looking at her as well. Wendy notices Aira staring at her, she gives a wide smile at him.

"So, who was it again?" Natsu asked.

"Give me a break here." Aira sighed. "I swear, I think she's a Dragon Slayer as well." He thought.

"You shouldn't go smiling to random guys like that." Carla pointed out.

"T-That's not what I was..." Wendy stuttered.

"What kind of guys do you like?" Hibiki asked.

"Won't you have some cake?" Eve asked.

"I mean, seriously, you're too damn cute." Ren blushed.

"I said, we didn't come here to play around!" Ichiya pointed out. "Clean this up at once!"

"Right away, Master!" The Trimen hurriedly clean up the place.

"Men..." Ichiya poses with sparkles around him.

"They changed what they call him again..." Lucy said.

"You almost have to admire their inconsistency..." Gray added.

A spotlight appears under Ichiya as he poses some more. "Now then! As it seems we are all here, I will go ahead and explain the plan."

"Is that pose of yours really necessary?" Lucy asked.

"I will start with the place where the Six Wizard Generals, Oracion Seis, are gathering..." Ichiya explained. After a moment of silence, he scurries off the spotlight. "But first, I will inspect the bathroom's parfum."

"Hey, don't go smelling the toliet!" Gray commented.

"Excellent, Sensei!" The Trimen clap for Ichiya.

"They changed again!" Lucy commented.

Meanwhile, two mysterious figures are watching the mages inside the meeting hall.

Ichiya finally returns from the bathroom. "The Worth Woodsea spreads out from here to the north. Ancient people sealed an extremely power magic spell inside the woodsea. It's name is... Nirvana!"

"Look, we really don't need the posing." Aira commented.

"Nirvana?" Natsu and Lucy questioned.

"I have never heard of it." Lyon said.

"What about you, Jura-san?" Sherry asked.

"No. I know not of it." Jura replied.

"Have you heard of Nirvana? And do you want a fish?" Happy asks Carla.

"No, thank you." Carla once again rejects him.

"It's destruction magic powerful enough for the ancients to seal. That's basically all we know." Ren said.

"We don't know what kind of magic it is." Eve said.

"Destruction magic?" Natsu questioned.

"I don't like the sound of that..." Lucy said.

"The reason that Oracion Seis has gathered in the woodsea must be to get their hands on Nirvana." Hibiki stated.

"And in order for us to stop them... We will attack Oracion Seis!" Ichiya and his men pose.

"And there they go posing again..." Lucy observed, already getting annoyed with the pairing stuff.

"I'm not even going to say anything anymore." Gray claimed.

"They have 6 members, but we have more." Ren said.

"But we can't underestimate them." Eve said.

"Those six are incredibly powerful." Hibiki brings up his Magic, looking for information.

"Archive? That's a rare magic." Jura stated.

"I've never seen it before." Sherry said.

Three different charts pop up, showing information about the Oracion Seis' members. "These are videos of them we finally obtained recently." Hibiki explained. "The wizard who uses poisonous snakes... Cobra."

"Ooh, he looks like a real bad guy!" Aira observed.

"Look at those slanted eyes!" Natsu pointed out.

"Your eyes are the same!" Gray, Lyon, and Aira commented.

"Thought to use speed magic, like his name implies... Racer." Hibiki continues to explain the members.

"I think this is a case of hate at first sight." Gray said.

"I agree." Lyon said.

"He's a wizard that can even wipe out an entire military unit, and will if there's profit in it... Hoteye of the Heavenly Eye!" Hibiki introduces the next member.

"For profit?" Sherry questioned.

"Despicable." Jura said.

"The woman said to peer into your heart... Angel."

"I think I might be naturally weak against someone like that." Lucy added.

"We don't have much information about this guy, but he's called Midnight."

"Midnight? That name doesn't bode well." Erza commented.

"Then, the control center for them all... Brain." Hibiki finishes explaining all of the members. "Each of them holds magical power great enough to destroy an entire guild." The charts disappear. "That's why we'll use numbers to our advantage."

"Um... I think it might be best if you didn't count me in..." Lucy trembled, volunteering to step out of the fight.

"I'm also not very good at fighting!" Wendy added.

"Wendy! Stop being so weak!" Carla scolded.

"Hey, what should we do? They aren't counting on us!" Happy continues to flirt with her, holding a big fish for her. Carla tries to ignore him, rejecting him at all costs.

"Do not worry! Our plan does not simply involve fighting. All we have to do is find their base of operations." Ichiya remarked.

"Their base?" Natsu asked.

"Ah, yes... We haven't mentioned it yet." Hibiki is typing down some info about the location.

"We conjecture that they have a temporary base somewhere in the woodsea." Eve said.

"If it's possible, I'd want us to get them all into their base." Ichiya said.

"But how?" Aira asked.

"By wacking 'em, duh!" Natsu replied, waving his fists in the air.

"So that means fighting, of course." Lucy said.

"What will we do when they're all there?" Erza asked.

Ichiya points to the sky. "We will use our guild's pride and joy, Christina, the Pegasus, and together with it, wipe the base off the face of the planet!"

"So it's like a magical bomber?" Sherry asked.

"We'd use that kind of thing against people?!" Lucy exclaimed.

"That's just how powerful they are!" Jura replied.

Lucy jumps back in surprise. "Right!"

"Are you ready? If we get into battle, do not fight under any circumstances! Make sure to have at least two of us for every one we face!" Jura stated.

"Right..." Everybody nods in agreement, understanding everything.

"This is so dangerous!" Lucy trembles even more.

"This is a problem!" Wendy trembles as well.

"Please stop sounding so pitiful!" Carla scolded once more.

Natsu slams his fist together, with flames engulfing them. "Okay! I'm all fired up!" The entrance of the meeting hall breaks through. "I'll take all six of 'em on at once!" Natsu dashes out of the building, going after the Oracion Seis members.

"Wait! Natsu!" Lucy yelled.

"Honestly, I can't believe him..." Erza muttered.

"I know he's impatient, but seriously..." Lucy said.

"I don't think he even listened to the plan." Gray said.

"He only listened to the part where we have to fight." Aira added.

"Because he is Natsu!" Happy pointed out.

"Come on now..." Ren rubs the back of his head.

"How awful..." Eve commented.

"At least open the door!" Hibiki sighed.

"We have no choice... Let's go!" Erza ordered.

"Man, that idiot!" Aira insulted. Lucy cries out loud as they chase after Natsu.

"We can't let Fairy Tail get all the good bits. Let's go, Sherry!" Lyon runs after them.

"Right!" Sherry runs along with Lyon as Jura is barely coming out of the building.

"Lyon! Sherry!" Jura called out.

"We're going too!" Ren and the others run as well.

Wendy's still shaking, not being able to move a muscle. "Come on, hang in there!" Carla tries to get her to move along.

"Don't worry! I'm with you!" Happy exclaimed.

"Wendy, let's go." Carla drags Wendy by the hand.

Happy is left behind, completely ignored. "Why?! Don't leave me behind!" He flies after everybody else Jura and Ichiya are left behind.

Ichiya uses this opportunity to ask about Jura's power as a member of the Ten Wizard Saints, and when the latter states he doesn't come even close to Master Makarov, Ichiya is delighted. He releases a perfume which saps one's fighting spirit, and another that sends pain to Jura's body. Then, Ichiya separates into two entities that are under the control of Angel. The two familiars explain that they know everything the people they've copied know and Angel says that now they know their whole plan.
