Chapter 54: The Note

1 and a half hours later

"Erza, how many did you beat?" I asked her as we were all walking through ankle high golden sand. "Umm... maybe 35... why?" she answered. I looked at Natsu. He nodded and we shouted our answer. "43!" we said in unison. "A tie." I said. "Whatever. If Abigail didn't takeout the monster I was fighting, I would've won." Natsu pouted. "And same with Lucy. She killed the one I wanted." I said with a sigh. "You two were competing and you didn't invite me!?" Gray growled. "Sorry. We were kinda in the middle of something and you weren't around." I said. Then we heard fighting from behind us.

"Why you little- He was going to win!" "You really blaming me! My boyfriend was going to win if you hadn't intervened!" "Ya right! Mine would have beaten yours to a pulp!" "No one is as powerful as mine!" Lucy and Abigail. Best friends, yet they fight. "So both of them did what they did to try and make the other win." Lisanna said with a giggle. I sighed and Natsu just shook his head. "What's the word I'm looking for... oh right! We both lose due to our girlfriends intervening in the competition." Natsu said. Everyone, but Abigail and Lucy due to obvious reasons, looked at Natsu in shock. "Wow. First time I ever heard you say something smart. Is it snowing in the Underworld?" Wendy said.

"I am very surprised as well. Who knew Natsu was capable of intelligent speech." Juvia said. "Hey!" Natsu complained. "I do too have intelligent speech!" he whined. "Oh really?" Lisanna said. Natsu nodded. "How about mind? Spell 'intervening' for me please." Erza asked. It was quiet... I lied. The two girls were still arguing. "Whatever! Let's just stop our girlfriends from fighting!" Natsu said with a blush of embarrassment and quickly running towards Lucy and Abigail. We all laughed and ran after him. "Luce, calm down! It's fine." Natsu said. "No it's not! She ruined your chances with winning." Lucy yelled back.

"Abbey, take a deep breathe and calm down." I said. "Not gonna happen! We- I mean... You almost won!" Abigail said. That's it! "Stop!" I yelled, my voice mixing with my inner dragon one. The two girls stopped fighting. "Apologize! Now!" I yelled again. "Sorry Lucy/Abbey!" they said. "Good." I said with a smile. Then I saw a note in the golden sand. I walked over to it and picked it up. 'Find the pendant of Yang at all costs! On the way, find the Legendary set of gate keys. They will help with the plan I have in store. Zeref.' I read. The note then caught on fire by my Dark Dragon flames.

Arianna was right! Zeref is after both! "I can't believe she was right..." I said outloud. Everyone looked at me. "Who was right?" Martina asked. "This girl in my dream. Her name was Arianna I think. She said the exact same thing this note says." I said, handing the note over to Erza. Her eyes widened. "He's after the pendant and the Legendary set!" Erza exclaimed. "We need to split up... round our friends! We need to talk!" I yelled. "AYE!" everyone yelled.

~~~~~~~~

When the last person read the note, everyone was waiting for mine and Erza's command, seeing as though both of us were S-Class mages. "Two teams. One for finding the gate keys and one for finding the pendant or Yang." Erza said. "The team that will help find the keys will be Natsu, Lucy, Wendy, Abigail, Erza, Glacier, Gray, Arachne, Daniel, Sharon, Matthew, and I." I said. "Why is that a team?" Kim asked. "Because 1) Lucy is a Celestial wizard, 2) I have people looking for the keys as we speak and they can only tell me, 3) Natsu won't let any other guy close to Lucy, and 4) Abbey and I will only know the names of each constellation." I said.

"Team two is Victoria, Kim, Amanda, Delphi, Alex, Lisanna, Juvia, Martina, and the Shadowhunters. Delphi will be commander of this group." Erza said. They all nodded. Kid. My demons have found a key! It's in a shop in the Pickering Town Center! Leviathan said. "We found a key! We need to move. Team two, head to Fairy Tail and alert them." I said. "They need to know about this." Erza said. Everyone nodded. We all quickly ran out of the house and in separate directions. As my group ran towards the 'Stop' sign, I said "Screw it." I stopped and made all of us fall into our shadows.

We all landed on our feet. "Damn! This place is cool!" Natsu said. "I must agree. This is very amazing." Erza said. "Arachne, how are the others?" I said because knowing her, she probably placed a spider in Delphi's hand bag. "They have just made it to the entrance of the forest." Arachne said. "Good." I said. I opened a window and made us go super speed through the shadows. Then I landed on the mall's shadow. I opened a gate to it and we all walked through. It dropped us off at The Bay. "Leviathan said that it's in one of the shops. No stealing. DANIEL!" I said.

"You're no fun." Daniel said with a pout. "Nice try. That move only works on the opposite sex with your powers." I said with a smirk. "I told you to never bring that up!" Daniel yelled in anger. "Let's just go." I said, before running in. We all split up. I walked into EB Games to see if they have it just incase. Then I saw the white key on the shelf. I grabbed it and looked at it. It had the constellation for Cetus. I went over to the counter and bought it. As I went out the store, Abigail and Wendy were waiting for me and glaring. "A video game store? I can't believe you!" Abigail growled. I took the key out of my pocket and showed her. "Never mind. I was never here." Abigail said. Wendy and I laughed at her.

As all three of us went back to our meeting point, Lucy was already there with a smile. She saw us and ran over. "Well?" she said. We should her the key. "This is Cetus, the Sea Monster from Greek mythology." I said. Lucy took the key and said "Hi Cetus. Hope we can be friends." The key glowed slightly. "Let's find the others. We need to start searching for more leads." I said. My right arm became heavy and my snake slithered down my arm. I opened right hand and my spider jumped out my hand. Both creatures went off and searched the mall.

We hears screams as the python and black widow went past people. Abigail, Lucy, and Wendy all gave me a look. "What? I never said how I would do it." I said. "Idiot..." Abigail mumbled and shook her head. "Your idiot." I say while wrapping my arms around her waist. She blushed hard, but still smiled up at me. "My eyes! Enough with this love!" Lucy whined. "Aww... does someone not get enough attention from their boyfriend?" Wendy giggled. "Non. Barely even one peck on the lips. It's like he doesn't even care we're a couple." Lucy said with a pout.

"I'll talk to him for you." I said. "Thank you, thank you, thank you!" Lucy said. "You're welcome." I replied.

Once everyone regrouped, I pulled Natsu off to the side. "What is it?" he asked. "You're neglecting Lucy." I said. He looked at me confused. I sighed. "You are not giving Lucy enough love. She feels like you're not in love with her anymore." I said. Natsu's eyes widened. Then he looked back at the group, seeing that none of them were looking back, he pulled me away. When we got far away enough, he fished a ring out of his pocket. My eyes widened. "Are you gonna propose to her?" I asked. Natsu nodded. Then I had an amazing idea. "Lucy, can you come here for a sec!" I called. Natsu's eyes widened. "Coming!" Lucy said. "Either now, or later." I said to him. "I guess now..." Natsu said.

Lucy came over with Abigail. "Good luck." I said, patting his back. I grabbed Abbey's hand and sanked into my shadow realm with her. I opened a viewing window when we got there. We saw Natsu talking to Lucy. "Look Luce, the reason I was being an ass and neglecting you was because I was trying to get something. When I had gotten everything I needed, I got it, so now I can more attention to you." Natsu said before leaning in and kissing her. She kissed back immediately. "Aww..." Abigail said. When they pulled away, Natsu went on one knee and brought out the ring. "This is what I got for you. Will you marry me and make me be the happiest guy in the universe?" Natsu asked. Lucy covered her mouth and started to cry tears of joy. She jumped on him and screamed "Yes yes yes!"

Abigail squealed and jumped for joy. I smirked. Natsu slipped the ring on her finger. It was a metal band with a red ruby on it. Abigail and I appeared out of my shadow realm and congratulated the happy couple. "Should we tell the others or leave them in the dark?" I asked. "Leave them in the dark." Lucy said. "Let the surprise commence." Natsu said. Then Natsu brought Lucy closer to him and kissed her. Lucy gave a surprised yelp, but kissed back. It was really passionate. "Aww... look at the love..." Abigail said. They pulled away with flushed cheeks.

"Shall we head back?" I asked. Everyone nodded. We got up and head back to the group. When we got there, Arachne came up to me and said "Delphi has not found anything about Yang. All she knows is that the dragon likes to visit people in their dreams." Wait a minute! "Arianna was Yang..." I said. "What?" Abigail said. "That was her. Yang told me what was happening. She wants us to find her!" I said.
