She saw her first vision again, three men will ambush them from their right side in a fast pace.
“No……NO!!!! WE HAVE TO……WE HAVE TO GET OUT OF HERE NOW!!!”, she cried out running to Wendy and Romeo. “ROMEO! WENDY! RUN!”
“Gate of the Great Crab I open thee! Cancer!”
“Ebi!”, Cancer was summoned and attacked one of the men who was about to attack Wendy and Romeo.
“Fire Dragon’s Brilliant Flame!”, Natsu attacked the other.
“NATSU-NII!”, Romeo blurted out with excitement.
“Lucy-san!”, Wendy was relieved to see her.
“Are you guys alright?”, Lucy asked, covering for them.
“Yeah….”, both replied.
“Charle are you alright?”, Happy asked.
“Geez, punctuality suits you best, Happy”, Charle smiled.
“Who are these people?”, Wendy asked.
“They’re members of a Dark Guild, Silent Reaper”, Lucy said.
“Listen guys, we have to abort the mission. We have to go back to Fairy Tail”, Natsu said between his attacks.
“What? Why do we….”, Romeo stopped when he saw how serious both their older teammates look.
“Master’s orders. This is more dangerous than you think. Besides, the mission was cancelled even before we took it”, Natsu said.
“What……this means…we….I….”, Wendy mumbled.
“Stop it. Don’t think that this is your fault. I told you, accidents happen on a mission. Even if you didn’t took this mission, someone in the guild might took it before you”, Romeo said while attacking too.
“We have to call her”, one of the men shouted out.
“CRAP! Stop him!”, Lucy pointed to the man who was readying a flare.
Natsu tried to stop him but it was too late. He shoot the flare out to the sky and it exploded like a firework.
“We have to leave this place”, Charle warned. “They’re coming…they’re all coming”, she said.
She saw her vision once again. A group of people with a petite woman smirking in front of them. The field they were standing was surrounded by fire.
“Go!”, Lucy shouted out.
Before they can react, the fire started to surround them like a barrier.
“Step back”, Natsu tried to suck all the fire and eat it. He ate a large part of it and the fire ceased but when they step ahead the fire started again.
“What the….”, Romeo gasped.
“Ughhhh”, Natsu coughed and he groaned while holding his throat.
“You won’t be able to eat that fire…Salamander”, the woman in Charle’s visions appeared inside the fire with all her members behind her. They swarmed the field making escape impossible for them.
“You are…….”, Wendy started.
“The woman who gave us the lacrima”, Happy stuttered.
“Akari…Kyouka?”, Lucy mumbled. The said woman smirked.

“Master…can’t we do anything?”, Erza approached their Master.
“We can’t act on our own. The Council warned us beforehand”, Master Makarov looked as exhausted as an elderly person should be after using his magic.
“This is bad. Those guys might be….”, Gray glumly said.
“Romeo”, Macao gritted his teeth. “I can’t stay like this. MASTER! Please…..let me go….please…..Romeo is everything to me…..he’s the only one I have”
Master Makarov looked at him with guilt. He can understand how he feels right now.
“A father’s worry to his son. The Council has warned us not to interfere. We can’t ignore their orders”, Master Makarov hopped down the counter.
“Master?”, Erza looked at him.
“Darn it….”, Macao cried.
“Laxus….”, Master Makarov said. Laxus smiled as he followed suit. Master Makarov stopped by the door. “We can’t ignore the Council’s orders but…..they can’t ignore our feelings as well. I’ll make sure they understand our feelings. Erza, formulate a plan and build a team with five people. Get ready”, he said and continued to move. Laxus smirked before following.
“Master…..”, the guild was filled with hope and amazement to their Master.
“Thank you”, Macao cried.

“Heh? You Fairy Tail wizards, sure are strong. But…..”, Akari Kyouka smirked before gesturing her hand. As if on cue, her members attacked them once again.
“This is getting worse. We can’t keep on fighting like this”, Natsu wiped the sweat under his chin as he anticipates their situation.
“Natsu can’t eat the fire. If we stay here any longer, we’ll suffocate”, Lucy analysed the area. “Open gate of the Maiden! Virgo!”, she summoned her maid spirit.
“Punishment time? Princess?”, Virgo asked politely.
“Ohhhhhh! She wants to be punished!”, some men exclaimed in awe.
“Virgo, create an escape path, please”, Lucy said.
“Understood”, Virgo vanished and created a hole underground.
“What the….stop them!”, Akari Kyouka shouted.
“Not on my watch!”, Natsu held them off.
“Get inside now”, Lucy comforted Wendy. “Wendy, be safe. Look out for each other”, Wendy nodded at her before looking down the hole.
“Wendy, jump!”, Charle jumped inside the hole together with Wendy.
“They’re getting stronger”, Natsu groaned when Wendy was inside.
“It can’t be helped. Romeo…”, Lucy looked behind her. “Take Wendy and get away from here. Return to Magnolia”
“What about you guys?”, Romeo asked.
“We’ll figure something out. We’ll hold them up as long as we can. Wendy is their target. I’m sure you know that right? Listen to me Romeo, don’t stop alright? Until you’re safe, you can’t stop running. You can’t let them have Wendy”, Lucy held him by the shoulder.
Romeo nodded with determination. Lucy gave him something and whispered something to him.
“Happy go with them”, Natsu said. Happy nodded and jumped inside the hole too. “Romeo…..it’s all up to you”, Natsu grinned at him with a thumb up before attacking again.
Silent Reaper’s members attacked them once again.
“Lucy they’re coming!”, Natsu warned.
“Princess, I’m finished”, Virgo reappeared from the hole.
“GO!”, Lucy gave them the signal. Romeo jumped inside. “Virgo, go with them please”
“Understood”, Virgo jumped back and covered the hole.
“Haah!”, Lucy retaliated using her whip and tied the men going for them.
“Now I’m getting all fired up”, Natsu and Lucy both said in unison before slapping their hands together. “Let’s do this!”
“You wizards are really troublesome”, Kyouka unleashed a dark energy. “Let’s end this. I have to get that Sky Dragon Slayer”, her eyes showed no mercy. “Get out of the way”, the members stopped attacking and returned to their Master’s side leaving Natsu and Lucy alone.
“Whatever that is, it’s coming”, Lucy said.
“Ah”, Natsu agreed.
“PAIN”, Kyouka said with her eyes wide. Everything seems in slow motion. Lucy and Natsu didn’t see it coming but they felt it.
“W-WHAT….THE…AHHHHH!”, Natsu groaned. Every part of his body hurts.
“AHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!”, Lucy screamed in pain.
One word was all it took for them to collapse on the ground with defeat.
“Let’s go”, Kyouka calmed down, looked away from them and started walking away with her frightened members following suit. Later, the fire died out with Natsu and Lucy hanging by a thread to keep their consciousness.
“What…just….happened?”, Natsu groaned.
“Natsu….”, Lucy looked at her partner with sadness. “Wendy….and Romeo…..they’re in danger….hah…hah…that magic….please be safe”, Lucy can’t keep her eyes open any longer. Both of them drifted to sleep.
