“Lucy….Lucy…”

Lucy groaned and opened her eyes slowly. Natsu’s face came into view.

“What….”, Lucy tried to remember what happened to them. “Huh? Where are they?”

“They were gone when I came to”, Natsu said.

“Darn it….Wendy and Romeo!”, Lucy stood instantly when she remembered what Silent Reaper is after. She felt a nauseous feeling like she was kicked in the stomach as her surroundings started to get hazy.

“Lucy!”, Natsu caught her before she  met the ground.

“What the…..I can’t feel my body”

“Take it easy. I felt the same way when I opened my eyes and tried to stand”, Natsu supported her.

“Eh? Wait, how long are you conscious?”, Lucy asked.

“Maybe half an hour ago or more”, he said.

“It’s been that long? Why didn’t you go after the others then?”, Lucy asked.

“And leave you out here alone? I took my time before I was able to make use of every limb in my body; also those hooligans are getting bigger in this wicked town”

“What?”

“I’ve been fighting all along dummy. Look”, Natsu pointed behind Lucy. When she turned around, she saw bodies lying on the ground.

“That many?”, Lucy was surprised. “How long has Natsu been protecting me?”, she thought.

“Anyway, we went through hell back then”, Natsu cracked his neck back and forth.

“That’s right…..that magic…”, Lucy said.

“Yeah, I didn’t see it coming. That woman has some nasty magic”, Natsu scratched his head. “Though I don’t know what it was…”

“She possesses a will-powered magic. The power of words”, Lucy said.

“Willa-what-the?”

“The power of words. An ancient type of magic. It was almost the same as lost magic. That kind of magic……creates illusions in the mind. Once someone heard the caster’s voice, it will be hard for them to counter it. I read about it on the guild’s basement”, Lucy explained.

“So, did you also read anything that we could use against it?”, Natsu asked.

“Nothing. The pages were burnt so I haven’t read a single thing after it”, Lucy said.

“Drat”

“Although…”

“Although?”

“I have some theories…”, Lucy announced with a smile.

“Get that Sky Dragon Slayer!”, Akari Kyouka demanded.

“As you wish!”, the group said as they launch attacks towards Wendy and Romeo.

“Charle can you close your eyes?”, Romeo asked.

 “Why?”, Charle asked.

“Because I want you to concentrate and help us if you can”, he smirked.

“Will we really be able to fight all of them?”, asked Happy.

“At least we tried”, Romeo said. “I won’t just let them take Wendy. Not if I have something to do about it”

“I’ll fight too”, Wendy determinedly readied herself.

“You sure have guts, I’ll give you that”, Kyouka grinned at them.

“Theories?”, Natsu was confused.

“Yeah. You see many wizards have tried everything they can to counter those types of magic to no avail”, Lucy explained.

“So…”

“I think the way to counter it isn’t as complex as it seems”, Lucy said.

“Huh?”

“We’re here Erza!”, Levy shouted out the window.

They stopped on the station. They were greeted by the same scenery Natsu and the others saw upon coming.

“This is Ranburin?”, Gray was bemused.

“Used to be”, Erza walked towards the city.

“It looks different from before”, Gray said.

“You’ve been here?’, Levy and Warren asked.

“Yeah, but only in town, I haven’t explored thoroughly to the mountains”, Gray said.

“There’s smoke and fog everywhere”, Warren said.

“It looks like an arson has already started”, Levy said.

“It doesn’t look ancient to me”, Warren said.

“Ancient?”, both Erza and Gray were surprised by what they heard.

“What do you mean by that?”, Gray asked.

“Wasn’t this town supposed to be ancient?”, Warren asked.

“I don’t think so”, Erza pointed out.

“But Levy said Ranburin is an ancient town which was founded more than a hundred years ago”, Warren said.

“Is that true?”, Erza asked Levy.

“Yeah…..I read about Ranburin ten years ago. I was reading some stories in the basement back in the guild when I read about it. But, it has a different name by that time”, Levy realized.

“A different name?”, Erza and Gray asked in unison.

“Yeah, I don’t remember it well. I think Lu-chan knows it”, Levy said.

Just then, they heard some explosions and some smoke coming from afar.

“Let’s go!”, Erza said.

“I have enough of this foolishness”, Kyouka finally declared.

“This is bad. Everyone fall back!”, some members who noticed shouted out to warn their comrades.

“Hurry its coming!”

“What is going on?”, Romeo stopped attacking as he noticed all their opponents are getting in line behind their Master.

“Looks like something is going to happen”, Wendy said.

“What…..”, Charle was taken by surprise by her sudden vision. “It’s happening…..no…it’s going to happen! I wasn’t able to avoid it!”

“BLEED”, she said, glaring at Romeo.

“NO! ROMEO!!!! RUN!!!!”, Charle tried to warn but it was too late.

Something hit Romeo by his right shoulder. He didn’t see it coming nor does he know what to expect. His eyes widened as his right shoulder started to bleed. He slumped to the ground groaning in pain.

“What……happened? Romeo-kun!”, Wendy ran towards him.

“STOP”, Kyouka’s voice went darker than before. Wendy stopped moving instantly.

“What…..is…happening?”, Wendy was immobile.

“Wendy!”, the two Exceeds were about to fly towards them when the others nailed them down to the ground.

“Wen……dy”, Romeo groaned, holding his right shoulder.

“I can kill this kid right now with just a snap. Do you want that?”, Kyouka asked with her fingers ready for a snap.

“NO! WHAT DO YOU WANT?!”, Wendy frantically asked.

“Be a good little kid and follow our plans”, Kyouka grinned evilly at her.

“What plans?”, Wendy asked.

“NO! DON’T DO IT! WENDY!”, Romeo tried his best to get up and landed his fist on Kyouka’s stomach. Kyouka groaned and held her stomach. She didn’t see that one coming.

“Stop interfering with me!”, Kyouka eyed him with great anger. “Looks like you really want to die”

“NO! Romeo-kun stop!”, Wendy shouted out.

“You can go to hell but don’t take Wendy with you”, Romeo angrily looked at her.

“Hey, hey, look at that kid. He’s really going against her”, some wizards murmured.

“He’s really going to die now”, the other half chuckled. Charle’s Happy’s and Wendy’s eyes all widened with fear.

“You’re really asking for your grave”, Kyouka stood straight and glared at him again.

“NO!”, Happy and Charle shouted.

“Bring it on!”, Romeo challenged.

“STOOOOOPPPPPP!”, Wendy’s voices shrieked out.
