Chapter 70: Scorpions, Dragons Bane, and a Memory Spell

After a good 15 minute explanation, all of them were creeped out about this voice. "This voice is freaky..." Lucy said with a shiver. "I agree." Abbey said. "Well, we should figure out where this cave is and try to find out who this voice is." My mom came in looking worried. "Ma? What is it?" I asked. "Umm... hehehe... uhh... ya... they rebuilt your school near St. Isaac's!" she said. The room was quiet. "WHHHAAAAT!!!" we all yelled. "Explain please!" I yelled at her in shock and fear. My mom nodded. "Well... once the school blew up, they started debating whether or not they would rebuild the school. They decided to rebuild it in February and now it's finished." she said.

"And they told you this!?" Abbey asked in the same tone as me. Mom nodded. "So school is going to start at the end of March." mom said. "Anna, you can't be serious! The first place Aztec would look for Robert would be there!" Erza said. Then mom gave me a serious look. "That's why I find it highly suspicious that they would rebuild it." she said. That hit me like a bullet. "The school board is corrupt... isn't it?" I asked. "That's my guess." Jonathan said, walking in with my cousin. "Robert, what are you going to do?" Marti asked. "Nothing. We need to save Apollo first. With Artemis' help, if she will give it, we should be able to beat both Saturn and the scorpion goddess Serqet." I replied.

"Serqet?" Lucy questioned. "She used to be a good goddess, following the strong and killing the weak." I said. "She must have thought Aztec's magic is so powerful it could wipe us out." Gray said with a snicker. Us Dragon Slayers looked at him seriously. "His power is that strong, Ice Princess." Natsu said. "What did you call me Flame Brain!" Gray said with anger. But Natsu didn't react. "Let's just sleep on it guys. Then we can think of a plan of attack." I said, getting up and walking out the room, Abigail and Wendy following my lead.

The next day

I saw a cave at the back of a hill. On one side of the hill was a parking lot, on the other side with the extremely well hidden entrance was a soccer field and a baseball field. On a sign, it said 'Highbush Park'. Entering the entrance, I went past several hallways and continued going forward where the slope goes downward. At the end of the big and wide hall was the Chimera. It's red and gold fur bright in the cave's darkness. Entering the door behind the monster, Serqet stood infront of me and grinned evilly. Saturn was looking at Apollo who was struggling to be free from his cage.

I gasped awake. I sat up and had a cold sweat. Found you. "Get up." I told my family. Abigail, Glacier, and Wendy got up and asked "What?" "I found Apollo." I said. We all quickly got changed and told the others during breakfast. We were now at the location of the cave. It was noon and nobody was around. Lisanna, Juvia, Gray, Martina, Erza, Lucy, Rebecca, Natsu, Wendy, Glacier, Abbey, and I stood infront of the entrance. We were waiting for Artemis. She then showed up with her Hunters, completely have forgotten yesterday's events. "In here?" Artemis asked. I nodded. We entered and ran down the sloped hallway.

We came across the Chimera quick, caught it by surprise, and killed it quick. We now stood outside the door. "Rebecca, Artemis, you two stay out here along with the Hunters. We don't need this place crowded and someone to get hurt." I said. Both of them nodded. The rest of us walked into the room and closed the door behind us. Apollo was in the cage rigt across from us. "This was too easy..." Gray said. Then, Saturn came from nowhere and rushed me. He had his scythe out and I quickly summoned mine. Both of our scythes clashed and I yelled "Free him!" They ran past me to free Apollo as Saturn and I fought. "Argh!" I grunted as I brought my scythe downwards over my head. He blocked its path with his own scythe.

"Spirit Weapon Enchantment!" I yelled. My aura showed and started to cover my scythe. I cut Saturn's side and yelled "Spirit Break!" Saturn yelled in pain as I saw his golden aura start breaking away from where I had cut Saturn. As Saturn fell to the ground, I had failed to see the scorpion climb up my back. When Saturn's eyes became lifeless, I felt a knife being placed at my neck. The minute the cage around Apollo broke, Serqet said "One more step, and say bye bye to little Robert over here." All of them spun around and saw what was happening. "What the hell!? Where did you come from!?" Natsu asked.

"She came up behind me while I was fighting. Fucking bitch is a sneaky devil. On the plus side, Saturn is dead." I said. Serqet just shook her head. "And I thought Saturn was powerful. Oh well. The weak deserve to die. The powerful deserve to live." she said. "You hag! Let my Grim Reaper go!" Abigail yelled. "Nope. This blade was dipped into liquid Dragons Bane. One cut of this and your little boyfriend dies." Serqet said. That's when Rebecca came out of nowhere and kicked Serqet away from me. "Argh!" Serqet groaned in pain. "Let my little bro go you old hag!" Rebecca said. "Thanks Becca." I said. She turned to me and smiled.

Then, I felt something sting my back. I fell to the ground and screamed in pain. Serqet then laughed and dissolved into a pile of scorpions, which scurried away. My body was on fire and my head started to hurt. Abigail came into view and said "Don't worry. We will save you. I love you Grim Reaper." I gave her a small smile and said "I love you too Angel." Then I screamed in pain as they lifted the back of my shirt up. "Dragons Bane..." Abigail muttered. "River God's Healing." Martina said. Then I fainted due to the excruciating pain I was in.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I woke up in a room I didn't know. It had a TV on the wall, two beds in the room, a walk in closet, its own bathroom, a bookshelf full of books I owned, multiple consoles and video games from each one, and dressers. The bed was comfy and I didn't know where I was. My mom walked into the room and smiled at me. "Good. You're awake." she said before sitting down on the bed. "Where am I?" I asked her confused. She looked at me strangely. "You don't recognize your own room?" she asked me. "This is not my room. I have only one dresser, one bed, a tiny bookshelf, no TV in my room with multiple consoles and video games for each one, no walk in closet, and no bathroom attached to it." I told her.

My mom's eyes widened. "Be right back." she said. She ran out the room. After five minutes, Abigail came in looking concerned. "Abbey? Where am I and what are we doing here?" I asked her. She stopped in her tracks. "You don't recognize your room?" she asked. "This isn't my room. My room is much smaller then this." I said. Abigail's face turned pale. "Do you remember the name Diana?" she asked. I looked at her with a questioning look. "Who's Diana?" I asked. Abigail covered her mouth with her hands. Then she asked "What am I to you?" Though... it sounded faint and scared. "Last time I checked, you were my best friend that I told everything to." I said.

Clearly that was the wrong answer because she ran out the room in tears. I was really confused. Then my... cousin came into the room!? "Martina!? What are you doing here!?" I said, knowing that she won't understand me. Martina's face paled. "You honestly don't remember a thing?" she asked in perfect English. My face brigtened and I said "You speak English now! Amazing!" Marti paled even more. "Robert... What's the last thing you remember?" she asked. I adopted a thinking positon. "It would have to be running into the blonde girl in the forest. After that, it's a blank." I said.

"Robert... today is March 21st 2018." she told me. My eyes bugged out of my head. That can't be right! I only ran into the girl the first weekend off of school! "Your kidding." I told her. Marti grabbed out her phone and showed me the date. It read 'March 21st 2018'. "What the hell! How long have I been out!?" I exclaimed. "You honestly don't remember anything... wow... I need to tell your Mom. Be right back." Martina said. She ran out the room. After a good twenty minutes, Steve, Jon, mom, Brittany, Sam, Marti, and Oreo were surrounding me. Oreo was on my lap.

"Do you remember a woman named Lilith?" Jon asked. I shook my head no. "That name reminds me of my Mortal Instruments books." I said with a smile. They were bombarding me with questions. "Can you guys stop with the questions. It's really annoying." I told them. "You forgot everything... even the party..." Sam said. "We had a party!? When!? Was that where I got this Fairy Tail tattoo, this halo tattoo, this snake tattoo, and this spider tattoo?" I asked, pointing and showing each mark. They looked at me in shock. "You really don't remember... do you?" I shook my head no for like the seventh time. That's when they all walked out the room feeling depressed.

This was the start of my now depressing life.
