"Hey, wake up."

I opened my eyes.

It was early in the morning.

"Goodmorning, sleepyhead."

I looked over and seen Lucy smiling at me.

"Hey..goodmorning. Are we almost there?" I asked.

"Yeah, the next stop is us in ten minutes." She said.

I looked out the window.

"Okay, you should wake everyone else up." I said.

Lucy woke up everyone else.

"Man..I slept like a rock." Gray said.

"Yeah, Lucy did too. I guess my shoulder is better than any pillow out there." I said, still looking out the window.

"Sorry about that.." Lucy said in an almost inaudible voice.

"It's fine." I said.

"Hey, (F/N). Do you have any food?" Natsu asked.

I chuckled.

"Don't worry, I came prepared." I said and pulled out a lunchbox filled with breakfast from my backpack.

"Eat up." I said.

Natsu's eyes sparkled.

"Your food is the best, (F/N), thanks!" Natsu said happily.

I gave him a smile and proceeded looking out the window, resting my hand on my cheek.

"What's the matter, (F/N)? Are you not feeling well?" Erza asked.

"I'm just fine. Just admiring the rising sun is all." I said.

They all looked over and watched the sun rise over the mountains. Except Natsu, of course. He was to busy eating his breakfast with Happy.

I felt something wet and soft on my cheek.

"Goodmorning, Kitsu." I said without having to look to see what touched my cheek.

"Ahh..The taste of you in the morning is always the best." Kitsu said streching.

"It's not licking your cheek that creeps me out, it's the things she says after she licks you that creep me out." Lucy said.

"You're just jealous." Kitsu said to Lucy.

"What? Why would I be jealous?" Lucy asked.

"Come on, I've seen you blush every time I lick him. You secretly want to do the same thing, don't you?" Kitsu said with a smirk.

"Don't be rude, Kitsu." I said.

Lucy was looking down at the ground in embarrasment.

"It's okay, Lucy. I know you don't want to do that kind of thing." I said with a calm smile.

"Y-Yeah.." Lucy said avoiding eye contact.

"You guys are so awkward.." Gray said.

I started getting ready for our stop.

Lucy stood up and the train turned and made her fall on me.

I caught her but I wish I hadn't. Lucy looked down and seen me groping her.

I sighed.

"It's your fault, Lucy." I said.

She screamed and slapped me.

Later

I walked off the train with a handprint on my left cheek.

I was holding Kitsu in my arms tightly to keep her from going after Lucy.

"How dare she!? She smacked my precious (F/N)! And on my licking spot!" Kitsu said struggling to get out of my grip.

I sighed again and kept walking to the hotel.

At the hotel

"Time to hide, Kitsu." I said and gently placed Kitsu in my bag.

I looked at Natsu and he did the same with Happy.

"Hey, atleast let me in (F/N)'s bag.." Happy said in a muffled voice.

I opened the door to the front door of the hotel and walked to the counter.

"Hi, we're the guests from Fairy Tail." I said.

"Ah, yes, we've been expecting you." The innkeeper said happily.

"Um..just to make sure, animals aren't allowed here, right?" I asked.

"As long as their not ferocious killing machines." The innkeeper said.

Kitsu and Happy popped out of their hiding spots, taking a deep breath.

"Oh..um..how did you get in there?" Natsu said, acting like he didn't know anything about Kitsu and Happy.

"You're lucky you're my little brother.." Kitsu said in a grumpy tone and jumped on my shoulder.

I smiled at the innkeeper with my eyes closed, waiting to be scolded.

"Follow me, I'll take you to your rooms." She said.

"Thankyou, ma'am." I said.

I sighed in relief behind her.

"Come on, guys." I said.

Everyone followed.

We took an elevator to the eleventh floor.

When we stopped, the innkeeper walked out and stopped at the third door on the left.

"This is the room reserved for.." The innkeeper looked at a piece of paper. "Mr Dragneel, Fullbuster, and Mr (L/N)." She said, handing me the key.

"And the one across from you three is the room reserved for Ms. Scarlett and Ms. Heartfilia. If you need anything at all, don't hesitate to ask me."  She said and handed Lucy the key to their room

"Thankyou." I said and unlocked the door.

I walked in and laid my stuff down beside my bed. But there we're only two beds in this room.

"Only two beds?" I said to myself.

"Don't worry, I'll sleep with you." Kitsu said cheerfully.

"I ain't sleeping with either of you." Gray said with his arms crossed.

"Same here." Natsu said.

I thought for a second and walked over to the girls room and opened the door.

"Hey, we got a problem, there's only two beds in our-" I stopped. My eyes widened.

Erza and Lucy we're in their bras and panties.

They stared at me in embarrasment.

I turned around walked out of the room like nothing had happened.

I closed the door behind me. A sword went through the door, almost hitting my head.

Natsu and Gray stared at me with their mouths wide open.

"What..?" Gray said.

"They don't know anything." I said calmly and walked to the elavator.

"Where are you going, (F/N)?" Kitsu asked, following me.

"To the front desk. I slept with Natsu once, it was beyond hot. I woke up sweating. And Gray is probably no worse with his ice cold body. They could sleep together, but that would be worse than me sleeping with either of them." I said, pressing the button to call up the elavator.

"Yeah, I'd rather you sleep with me in our own bed anyways." Kitsu said.

I stepped into the elavator and took it down to the first floor.

The elavator opened to the innkeeper standing their, in front of the elavator.

"Oh, hi, how is your stay so far, Mr. (L/N)?" She asked.

"Our room only has two beds. Everything else is just fine." I said.

"Oh my.." She raised her hand to her mouth. "I'm very sorry..we only have rooms with two beds at this hotel. I'm sorry for troubling you, sir." She said and bowed.

"Please, it's fine. I'm sure we will get by." I said with a smile and stepped back in the elavator.

"May I take the elavator with you?" She asked.

"You don't have to ask, come on." I said.

"Thankyou." She walked into the elavator. "And thankyou for forgiving our mistake." She said.

"Well..I'm just happy we even got to come here. It's a free trip to an amusement park, after all." I said.

"Oh, this isn't just an amusement park. There are Casinos and Waterparks here, as well. Though, the Casinos require you to be atleast twenty-one to enter, because they sell alcohol, and they gamble." She said.

"Casinos, huh? That sounds fun. Maybe I'll go." I said.

"But you're only seventeen." She said.

I chuckled lightly and put my index finger to my lips, signaling her to keep my age to herself.

She simply smiled.

The elavator stopped. I got out.

"It was nice seeing you again." I said, walking away.

I went back to my room. No one was there, even Lucy and Erza were gone, also.

"They must have went to the amusement park. I guess I should get changed into some different clothes." I said, walking over to my suitcase and pulling out a pair of pants, a v-neck, and regular shoes. I took off my clothes.

I remembered Kitsu was still with me and I threw a towel over her head.

"Don't look." I said.

"Aww..you remembered I was here." She said.

"You were unusually quiet, I forgot you were here." I said, putting on the last piece of clothing and slipping my shoes on.

'Maybe I should wear a long sleeve shirt..' I thought.

"I guess this is fine." I said aloud.

I rolled my pants legs up to my calf muscles and walked out of the room.

"You ready, Kitsu?" I asked.

"Yep, let's go have some fun!" She said excitingly.

I locked the door and headed to the amusement park.

Later

"I wonder where everyone is. Maybe Lucy and Erza are still mad at me and they're just avoiding me?" I thought out loud.

"No.. I don't think they would avoid me for that." I said.

I looked up and seen a roller coaster go by. Everyone was riding it. Lucy was sitting beside Natsu. Natsu was about to pass out from motion sickness. And Gray was with Erza. Gray looked scared and Erza looked like she was enjoying herself

"Well, looks like they are having fun." I said.

I locked eyes with Lucy as they passed. Her smile was as beautiful as ever.

I picked up Kitsu and jumped toward the roller coaster, landing in between Lucy and Natsu.

I looked at Lucy and widely grinned at her, innocently, like a child.

She flashed her heart warming smile at me.

I stared at her pretty smile a little longer before I told Kitsu to heal Natsu of his motion sickness.

Natsu raised his head up and fist pumped the air.

"Oh yeaaaaah!!" Natsu cheered.

Later

We rode all of the rides in the amusement park. The sun was setting.

"Hey guys, how about we go to the Casino?" I said.

"The Casino? That sounds like a lot of fun. But we're all under age." Lucy said.

"How would we even get in?" Gray said.

"Kitsu here can cast an illusion on our I.D.'s to make us twenty-one." I said.

"Woah, really!?" Lucy said.

I nodded. "So, does everyone want to go?" I asked.

"Yeah!" Lucy said.

"I'm in." Gray said.

I looked at Natsu.

"Yeah, I'm in." Natsu said.

"Erza?" Lucy asked.

"I would love to go, but..everyone there Is most likely dressed formally. We'll need tuxedos and dresses." Erza said.

"Okay, you two go get a dress and we'll go get the tuxedos. Meet us in front of the casino in one hour." I said.

"Okay, that sounds great." Erza said.

"Go with them, Kitsu." I said.

"What? Why?" She asked.

"It's only natural that the girls go together." I said.

She looked at me with puppy eyes. It touched my heart but I did not let it show.

"That won't work on me. Go on, we'll meet again in an hour." I said and walked away with Natsu and Gray.

I looked back at Kitsu and she stuck her tongue out at me.

I sweatdropped.

At a store

"Man..I so don't want to wear this." Natsu said with a glum look.

"Come on, you look great!" I said.

"Really?" Natsu asked.

"Really." I said.

Gray walked out in a all black tuxedo, the same as Natsu.

"How do I look?" Gray asked.

"It's perfect." I said.

"Thanks man." Gray said.

"Aren't you going to wear one?" Natsu asked.

I paused. "Well..um..this is okay, isn't it?" I asked.

"Pfft..no. If we have to wear one, then you are, too!" Natsu said.

Natsu picked out an all white tuxedo with a pink pinkish-red tie and handed it to me.

"There, that matches your hair perfectly." Natsu said, crossing his arms.

"No, no, no. I'll stand out to much in this." I said, handing it back to him.

Natsu pushed my hand back and pushed me into the dressing room.

"Hurry, our hour is almost up." Natsu said, behind the curtains.

"Don't worry, man, that suit will look great on you." Gray said.

I sighed and changed into the suit and looked into the mirror.

"Damn..it does look good." I said to myself.

"You done yet?" Natsu asked.

My face heated up. 'This is so embarrassing. I can see why Natsu didn't want to wear it either.' I thought and walked out.

"Woah..you're handsomeness is shining." Natsu said.

"Tch..I ain't going." Gray said grumpily.

"What? Why not?" Natsu asked.

"Come on, look at him..he's a prince. He'll steal all the lady's with that damn suit on." Gray said.

"That's quite the confidence booster. But that's not true. You're far better looking than I, you have that dark and mysterious vibe about you and girls love that. I just want to have fun." I said. I kneeled down on my knee and held my hand out to him.

"But I can't do that without you..my friend." I said.

Gray stared at me in awe.

"Y-You really mean that?" Gray asked in a girly voice.

I flashed a smile at him and nodded.

"(F/N).." Gray said and took my hand.

I stood up and smiled at him.
We stared in eachothers eyes.

"Okay..now that that's over, let's get going." I said, pushing Gray out of the way.

"Hey..Ahem..Hey!" Gray's voice cracked.

In front of the casino

"Where are they?" Natsu asked.

"They will arrive soon enough." I said.

Just then Lucy, Erza, and Kitsu walked up behind us.

All three of them we're so pretty. Lucy wore a black dress with her hair up and Erza wore a red dress with her hair up as well. Kitsu wore a small princess crown and diamond bracelets on her legs. Her fur was changed, too. It was the same color as my hair. She also wore eyeliner as well.

Lucy and I locked eyes. She blushed and averted her eyes.

"Wow, all three of you look so pretty." I said.

Erza's face turned red.

"At least one of you sees it." Erza said, turning her head away.

"N-No, we all see it. Very pretty." Gray said.

"Yeah." Natsu said.

"Hmph..to late. (F/N) wins." Erza said.

"Tch..well what about us?" Gray asked.

My face turned red and I eyed Gray in a 'why did you have to ask that?' look.

"Well.. (F/N) stands out like some kind of prince. You two look like his butler guards." Erza said.

Gray sighed.

"Thanks.." I said in a quiet voice.

I noticed Lucy had been staring at me for a while now.

I gave her a warm smile but she averted her eyes again.

'What? Why? Are you being shy or something?' I thought to myself.

"Kitsu, cast the spell." I said.

"Hmph.." Kitsu turned her back to me.

"Kitsu.." I said.

"Are you still mad at me?" I asked.

She crossed her arms.

I sighed. I picked her up and hugged her.

"There..am I forgiven?" I asked.

"Hm..I suppose." Kitsu said.

We pulled out our I.D.'s and Kitsu casted the illusion spell on them.

"This will only work for thirty minutes. But it should give us enough time to get into the casino." Kitsu said.

"Alright, let's get into that casino then." I said.

We stood in line. It was fairly long but it was moving at a good rate. Everyone looked like either a Prince or Princess.

Lucy walked up beside me and stood close, our arms touched.

I flinched a little.

'What the hell? Why is she so close to me?' I thought to myself.

"Next please."

We walked up to a giant buff guy.

"Your name, please?" He asked.

"(F/N) (L/N)." I said.

"I don't see you on the list." He said.

Everyone flinched and started shaking.

'There's a list!!?' I yelled in my head.

'Come on..think, think..' I said to myself.

'Maybe that could work.' I said.

"Nonsense..why would a Prince of a royal family need to be on a petty list. I should be able to walk into the casino my family owns without question." I said.

"I'm so sorry your Highness, please forgive me." He said and bowed. He moved out of the way and let me inside.

"Your name, please?" He said.

I turned around and seen Lucy and the others still standing there.

I walked back to Lucy and locked arms with her.

"This is my Fiancé, the Princess of my kingdom. There is no need to interrogate her with your list." I said.

Lucy's whole face turned red.

"Ah..I'm sorry, Princess. Please, enjoy your time here." He said.

"And this is my sister. She is also a Princess." I said, grabbing Erza's arm.

"And these two are my butlers, they guard me with their life." I said, looking at Natsu and Gray.

"I understand, your highness. Please enjoy your time here." He said with a bow.

We walked inside.

"Whew..we made it in.." I said in relief.

"Um.." Lucy said.

I looked down and seen I was still locking arms with Lucy and Erza.

"Ah..I'm sorry." I said, letting them go.

"It's..fine." Lucy said.

"Everyone, make way for his Highness!" The guard yelled.

My body went cold.

'Shut up, idiot!' I yelled to myself.

Everyone turned and looked at us. They cleared the way and bowed.

"Sorry, Lucy." I said locking arms with her again.

"Wh-" Lucy started.

I walked past everyone as they bowed.

'This is bad..This is bad..This is bad..I'm going to jail for impersonating a prince!' I was nervous, but when I see my friend's smiles, it seems well worth it.

The people of the casino waved at me and cheered random stuff like:

"Marry me!"

"It's the prince! He's so young!"

"Wait..are you sure he's an actual prince?"

I hurried and shut the last one up with a death glare.

Natsu and Gray looked like they were enjoying themselves as they 'guarded me'.

And Erza waved to the people with a big smile.

Lucy tried to not show it, but she smiled as she looked at the ground.

I tried my best to act like a prince as I winked at a few girls. 'I think that's what princes do.' All of the girls I winked at covered their faces in embarrasment or either winked back. Which made my heart drop.

We finally made it past everyone and into the game room.

"Okay, looks like we're all clear for now." I said.

"We're definitely going to jail.." Gray said.

I gulped when Gray said that.

"W-We'll be fine." I said, laughing nervously.

Lucy sighed. She knew I was nervous. And I'm sure the others did, too, but Lucy made it quite clear with that sigh.

"We should make the most of it while we're here." I said and sat down at a game table.

"Which game is this?" I asked the dealer.

"This is Blackjack, your Highness." The dealer said.

No ones p.o.v.

"Come on, seventeen!" Natsu yelled at the giant ball, waiting for a number to process.

The number seventeen popped up, but only for a second before it changed to eighteen.

"Nooooooo!" Natsu yelled in a high voice and started shaking the machine.

"Sure, please don't shake the machine." A nearby waiter said.

"But it acted like it was going to give me my number and it didn't!" Natsu pouted.

----

"Hey, Erza, how much trouble do you think we will get in for impersonating a prince and princess?" Lucy asked.

"Well..a lot. We would be punished severely." Erza said calmly.

Lucy turned pale.

"Why are you so calm about it?" Lucy asked.

"Life's to short to be scared all of the time." Erza responded softly.

----

"Hey man." Gray said behind (F/N).

(F/N) turned around with a smirk on his face.

"Hey, Gray." (F/N) said.

Gray examined the faces of the players and the dealer.

They all looked miserable.

"What did you do?" Gray asked in a curious manner.

"Oh..you know.." (F/N) responded with a poor answer.

Gray was waiting for the rest of the answer but nothing came out.

(F/N) stood up and grinned at the players and the dealer like a child.

"Nice playing with you." (F/N) said in a honeyed voice.

(F/N)'s p.o.v.

I looked at the clock hanging high up on the wall.
It was already half pass ten.

"Guess I should round everyone up." I said to myself.

"Hey.." A deep voice called out to me.

I looked to my right and seen a tall, buff man with half of his chest showing. He wore an eyepatch and a mask-like metal jaw.

'This guy is way under dressed. That can only mean one thing, he's not here for the party.' I said to myself.

I looked at him, ready to fight. But stayed in a harmless position.

"Yes?" I asked in a quiet yet defensive voice.

"Where is Erza Scarlet?" He asked.

"Gray..go help Erza." I said.

"Alright." Gray said and ran off.

"Why do you want to know?" I asked.

"That is none of your concern." He said.

The whole area around us turned dark. I could barley see.

"Dark moment."

I heard a voice behind me. It was the big guy.

'Behind me!?' I said to myslef, shocked.

Erza's p.o.v.

I couldn't believe it. Standing in front of me was one of my old friends from that deathly tower, Shou.

"We're here to brink you back, sister. Back to Jellal." Shou said.

My entire body was encased in fear and shock.

Every one in the casino was trapped in one of Shou's cards.

"Hey, Erzy Werzy." A high voice beside me said.

"Milliana, it's you." I said.

"We don't have time for a reunion. We need to hurry back to the tower of heaven." I heard another familiar voice say.

"Simon.." I said in a quiet tone.

"Erza, who are all of these people?" Lucy asked worriedly.

Just then, Milliana tied Lucy up with a cat tail.

"Ahhh!" Lucy let out a yelp.

The way she was tied looked painful.

"Let me go! Just you wait, (F/N), Natsu, and Gray will be here any minute!" Lucy yelled.

"I'm afraid not. Those three have already been taken out." Simon said.

Lucy and Erza's eyes widened in shock.

"No..but how? There's no way they would be defeated so easily." Lucy said.

Simon came up behind me and tied my hands together.

"Let's go." Simon said.

"No! Erza! Don't go with them!" Lucy yelled.

Lucy's p.o.v.

I watched as Erza and the people who took her disappear.

"Erza.."

(F/N)'s p.o.v.

I felt wet. And the warmth of someone on top of me. Something very soft and squishy was pressing against my chest.

Just then, light shines into my eyes. I covered them for a second and then opened them to see a blue haired girl laying on top of me.

"Um..Thanks for saving me." I said.

"Uh..no problem." The blue haired girl responded silently.

"What's your name?" I asked.

"Juvia. Juvia Lockser." She said.

"Uh- You were in Phantom Lord." I said.

"Yes, I was. But I'm not your enemy anymore. I promise. I joined Fairy Tail, see?" Juvia said raising up and pointing at her upper thigh.

"Oh, I guess you did. Well..welcome to the guild." I said with a warm smile.

Juvia smiled back.

"Now. Although this IS rather pleasant..but how about you stop mounting me and we will go see if everyone is okay." I asked, still showing the same warm smile.

"O-Of course! Juvia is very sorry!" Juvia stuttered, her face turning dark red.

She stood up and held out her hand for me.

I took it and she pulled me up.

"Thankyou." I said.

And we walked off to search for the others.

"Gray darling!" Juvia called out.

"Natsu darling!" I called out.

"Lucy! Erza!" I kept calling out but no one answered.

"Ahh..what psycho shoots a guy in the mouth!?"

I looked over and seen Natsu emerge from a pile of balls.

"Natsu, are you okay?" I walked over to him, looking at the smoke coming from his mouth.

"Huh? Yeah, I'm fine. But where's that blockhead!? Oh he's gonna pay for shooting me in the mouth!" Natsu said angrily.

He stood up and started running, Happy following.

"Looks like he's going to lead us them." I said.

I began to feel like something was missing.

"Huh? Where's Kitsu!? Kitsu! Where are you!?" I called out to her, looking around for her impatiently.

"(F/N)..are you okay?" Juvia asked.

"Hey, little bro!"

I heard Kitsu's voice.

She was walking out of the girls restroom.

"Kitsu, there you are..where were you the whole time?" I asked, picking her up into my arms.

"Well, I was just walking around. And I've been in the restroom for the past twenty minutes." Kitsu said.

"Well, I'm glad you're okay. While you were gone, all of us were attacked. I don't feel Erza's magic nearby, but..Lucy is still here. They must have taken Erza." I said.

"Yeah, I figured something like that happened. Are you okay?" Kitsu asked.

"Yes, I'm fine. This kind soul here saved me. Her name is Juvia." I said, looking at Juvia.

"Tch..My name is Kitsu, now let's get going." Kitsu said in a grumpy attitude.

"It's nice to meet you, Kitsu." Juvia said with a bow.

"Wait, why are you here, Juvia?" I asked.

"Huh!? U-Umm.." She paused for a moment. "Well, we should get going." Juvia said with a nervous laugh.

"Uh..right." I said.

Kitsu jumped to my shoulder and I ran to where Lucy was.

When I got there, I seen her tied up in some kind of sadistic rope.

"(F/N)! You're here! I'm so glad your okay." Lucy said.

"Yeah, I'm fine." I said while ripping off the rope.

"They took Erza, Huh?" I asked.

Lucy looked down and nodded.

"Don't worry, we'll save her. I promise." I said.

Lucy smiled, feeling reassured. "Okay."

"Oh, this is Juvia. She helped me during the ambush earlier." I said.

Lucy's eyes widened. "You're the one who drowned me!"

"I-I'm really sorry for what happened. I hope you can forgive me." Juvia said.

"She's okay. What happened before is in the past. I'm not asking you to forgive her, I'm just asking you to welcome her into our guild, respectively." I said to Lucy.

Lucy sighed. "Fine, fine."

I smiled. "Thankyou. Now. We have to catch up to Natsu, he ran off in a rage, I'm pretty sure he's going to where Erza is." I said, helping Lucy up.

"W-Wait, what about my lo-I mean Gray." Juvia asked worriedly.

"Oh, that's right, I told him to go help Erza and Lucy. Let's do this, then. 'Detect Life'." I said.

My vision turned dark. I looked around to see if any souls were nearby.

"Oh, there he is." I said.

I walked up to where the soul was and found Gray in his boxers, just laying on the ground.

I poked his cheek to wake him up.

"Are you okay? Looks like you were heading to some bachelorette party. Did they pay you to strip?" I asked him.

"W-What? No, they ambushed me. I got tied up, and then I got shot in the back by something." Gray said.

"I see. Well, they took Erza. Natsu ran off most likely in their direction. Get some clothes on, we're going after Erza." I said to him.

"Alright." Gray said.

Later

We managed to catch up to Natsu and get a small boat.

"Damn it..(F/N), let's swim..please.." Natsu said.

"If it was just us, I would definitely go with you." I said, propping my jaw in my hand.

Lucy came and sat beside me.

"You think we're heading in the right direction?" Lucy asked me.

"You should know better than anyone, Natsu's instincts are precise, and so is his nose." I said.

"Yeah, I guess you're right." Lucy said.

"So, what are you doing here?" Gray asked, looking at Juvia.

"Um..well I joined Fairy Tail. I kind of followed you guys here." Juvia said.

"I see. Welcome to the guild." Gray said.

Juvia smiled. "Thankyou."

The area around us got misty all of a sudden.

"Where did all of this fog come from?" Lucy said, almost in a whisper.

"Seriously." Gray said.

"I see it, we're here." I said.

"What? We are? But how can you see it?" Gray asked.

"Night vision. I can see through the fog with it." I said.

"Woah." Gray said.

"I would like to get this mist out of the way, but it's the only thing that's keeping us out of sight." I said.

"I got this." Juvia said.

A ball of water had risen around us.

"This will camoflauge us with the sea." Juvia said.

"Good job, now we can get this mist out of the way." I said and stood up.

I breathed in through my nose and lightly blew out through my mouth.

The air blew a small opening for us so we could see where we were.

It was a giant tower. The look of it was hellishly sinister. The thought of what was happening on the inside chilled my bones.

"Scary.." Kitsu said.

"Totally." Gray said.

We stopped at a dock and I stepped off the boat.

"I wonder how many enemies we will face if we just go in through the front." I said.

I turned around and helped Lucy out of the boat.

Everyone but Natsu was off.

"Honestly.." I said.

I grabbed Natsu's waist and picked him up.

"T-Thanks." Natsu said.

"We will have to find another way in. I'm sure their expecting us." I said.

"Yeah, that's the smarter way. But how will we get in?" Gray asked.

"We'll go under water." I said, taking off my shirt, socks, and shoes and rolling up my pants legs.

"(F/N)! Don't just strip!" Juvia and Lucy said in unison.

"Juvia, is there a way you can make us breathe under water?" I asked.

"Yes, I can make water helmets. You will be able to breath inside them." Juvia said.

"Good. Well, take off your clothes, ladies. Or would you rather swim in what you're wearing now?" I asked them.

"Well, lucky for me, I'm wearing a swimsuit." Lucy said.

"Me, too." Juvia said.

Gray and Natsu took off their  shirts and rolled up their pants legs.

Juvia covered her face as she looked at Grays body.

"Hey (F/N), you think this will take long?" Gray asked.

"I'm sure it will. They went a couple hours out on boat just to get one person. They won't let us have her back without a fight." I said.

Gray sighed. "I guess you're right."

"They'll pay for kidnapping Erza." Natsu said angrily.

I looked at the ground,
clenching my fist.

'I'm sorry I couldn't save you, Erza. I promise, I'm coming for you.' I thought to myself, determined to get Erza back no matter what.

"Ready?" Lucy asked.

They finally undressed into their bathing suits.

"Yeah, let's go." I said, diving into the water.

Everyone else dived in and a ball of water formed around our heads.

We swam into a cave and managed to find an opening on the surface.

I swam up, slowly and silently lifting my head out of the water. I looked around for any enemies.

Their were none.

I climbed out of the water and helped everyone else out.

"Good job, (F/N), there really was a way under water." Natsu said.

I smiled and nodded.

"Let's go find Erza." I said.

Everyone nodded.

Suddenly, a loud alarm went off.

"They know we're here!?" Gray yelled.

Close to a hundred men rushed into the cave.

"There's so many.." Lucy said.

Before anyone could react, I summoned my Katana and rushed them head on.

"They already know we're here, so we have no choice but to fight." I said.

I swung my sword, sending out a sharp, black energy into a group of enemies.

They were immediately unconscious from the blast.

'I barley put any power behind that attack and they're already unconscious.' I thought to myself.

"Hey, these guys are pretty weak. Don't waste your magic, just stick to low level attacks!" I yelled.

"Right!" Everyone responded.

After the battle

"Well, that about does it." I said.

I managed to keep one of them conscious.

I walked up to him and picked him up by his leg and dangled him off of a bridge.

"Ahh! No, I'm scared of heights!" The man screamed like a little girl.

"Just tell me where Erza Scarlet is and I'll let you go." I said.

"Uh..um..okay, okay..I'll tell you. But you promise you'll let me go if you tell me, right?" The man asked, his voice trembling.

"That's right." I said.

"Okay. She's being held in a cell up in the tower. I don't know where exactly, but I heard from the other guards she was in middle level of the tower. That's it, that's all I know. You'll..let me go, won't you?" He asked.

"Of course." I said with a smile.

"Oh, thankyou so much.." He said.

I released my grip from his leg.

His girlish scream echoed within the cave as he was falling.

Just before he hit the ground, Natsu caught him.

"Man, a bit harsh, don't you think?" Gray said with a sigh.

"Yeah, maybe I went to far." I said with a laugh.

"Ah, he's fine. But he wet himself and he passed out." Natsu said.

I jumped down from the bridge.

"Juvia, did the clothes you brought with you get wet?" I asked.

"No, I kept them inside the bubble. They're dry. Here are yours." Juvia said, handing me the clothes.

I walked up to her and reached out for my clothes. Before I took them I placed my hands on top of hers.

"Thankyou, Juvia. I'm glad you're here with us." I said with my heartwarming smile.

Juvias cheeks turned red.

"N-No..Thankyou. You were kind enough to accept me..the one who hurt you and your friends. That means so much to me." Juvia said.

The tone in her voice and her words were earnest, she meant it with all of her heart and soul.

Her soul was as beautiful as everyone's at Fairy Tail. A golden glow that could vanquish darkness itself. I couldn't help but keep smiling at her.

"You'll do just fine in Fairy Tail. You're the kind of person I can entrust my very soul to..Juvia." I said.

"W-..Uh-..Th-.." Juvia stuttered, her face as red as a tomato.

I chuckled and took my clothes.

Kitsu gave me a death glare as I walked over to Natsu.

I smiled at her nervously.

"Natsu, can you use your flames to dry my pants?" I asked.

"Sure." Natsu said.

I went behind a rock and took off my pants and handed them to Natsu.

Natsu rolled them up and pressed my pants against his body. His body heat got higher.

After a couple minutes, my pants were dry.

"Here you go." Natsu said, handing me my pants.

"Thankyou, Natsu." I said while slipping my pants on.

I sighed. "I wish I had my normal clothes..."

Natsu hung his head. "Yeah, same."

"Here, dry mine to." Gray said, giving Natsu his pants.

"Pft..like you're going to keep these on anyways." Natsu said, drying Gray's pants.

"Shut up." Gray said.

"Don't give me that attitude! I'm drying your pants for you! Gah..so ungrateful." Natsu yelled.

"I see you two are as close as ever.." I muttered.

"Here." Natsu said, handing Gray his now dry pants.

Everyone was now dressed and ready to go.

"Is everyone ready?" I asked everyone.

"Yes." Juvia said.

"Mhm." Gray said.

"Damn right!" Natsu cheered.

"Aye sir!" Happy cheered.

And Lucy nodded at me with a smile.

Kitsu jumped on my shoulder.

"We're all ready, little bro." Kitsu said.

"Good. Now, let's go get our friend back! We'll show them what happens when you piss Fairy Tail off."

I know this chapter is very late, I'm sorry I made you all wait. But, it's here now. I hope you enjoy, and Thankyou for reading.
