“What shall we do? We don’t know where they are”, Reina slumped to the ground.

“Their scent is all over the place. They’re messing with my senses completely. Darn it!”, Natsu angrily punched a tree.

“Elizabeth….I can’t forgive myself if anything bad happens to her. I promised I’ll protect her”, Reina cried.

“Don’t cry Reina. You can’t give up now. I’m sure they’re alright. We’ll just have to wait until something happens”, Natsu looked up to the sky.

“What are you saying? They tricked us! They already anticipated this will happen. Who knows if they’re already killing them right now!”, Reina snapped.

“No. We can’t assume things. Just be ready”, Natsu said as he sat on a nearby tree and looks like he was waiting for something.

“NATSUUUU!”, Happy’s voice echoed. A light emanated from the sky.

“Ha-Happy?”, Natsu blurted out in surprise. Happy gave him a head butt. “What the heck!”

“You idiot! Why did you leave me behind! I want to save Lucy too! You acted recklessly again!”, Happy scolded.

“Well sorry about that”, Natsu scratched the back of his head with his left hand and the right was rubbing his chin where Happy collided.

“Why are you here? Where’s Lucy?”

“Well we’re tricked and we almost got killed by their trap”, Natsu explained.

“Eh! Then that means Lucy and Elizabeth are in danger! Those thugs called themselves the Advent Ghoul. They said they will kill them if we try something dirty and not comply to their wishes. What you did might urge them to kill them now!”, Happy nervously said.

“Don’t worry Happy, they’re still fine for now”, Natsu said.

“How can you say that?”, Happy asked.

“You seem really confident with that Natsu Dragneel. How can you be so sure they’re still alive?”, Reina asked.

“Because it hasn’t been activated”, Natsu grinned. Happy and Reina looked at each other with confusion.

“Ah!”, Happy realized what it is. “You mean THAT?”, Natsu grinned.

“Don’t you dare”, Lucy threatened.

Shiki’s tongue circled on his lips. “Flesh…..really smooth flesh..”, he drooled over like a mad dog.

“Heh! Let’s make a scar on that pretty wealthy face of yours now shall we?”, Akki-onna menacingly walked slowly towards them. Her daggers were already in her hands.

“Elizabeth…don’t let go of my hand alright?”, Lucy tightly held Elizabeth’s shaking hand. Elizabeth nodded with trust in her eyes.

“Alright guys, show them how cruel Advent Ghoul can be. Don’t kill them, just make them regret the day they ever lived”, Tenma ordered. With that, they launched towards them.

“Virgo!”, Lucy exclaimed. Virgo appeared in front of them and built a large hole. Shiki, Akki-onna and ten other members fell to the pit as Lucy and Elizabeth ran towards them to go outside.

“Darn it! Move!”, Akki-onna angrily squirmed from under.

“FLESH!!!”, Shiki gritted his teeth.

“Hotaru!”, Tenma ordered. Hotaru unleashed her Curse Magic. Dark Violet marks crept over the floor towards them.

“Haaaah! Taurus!”, Taurus appeared and wreck the ground to stop the marks.

“Good. You’re a good fighter!”, Tenma smirked at her.

The ground shook hard and rocks begin to fall from above them.

“Idiot if you keep this up the cave will fall in!”, Lucy stumbled as she tried to regain balance.

“Tenma are you trying to kill us too!”, Akki-onna shouted out.

The cave split in half and the sun’s rays flashed from above. The rocks fell on their side.

“Now, we have a larger space to fight”, Tenma smirked at her.

“Urgh…you will pay for making me fall to that disgusting hole”, Akki-onna grunted. Those who fell got back to the surface. Shiki turned into a Chimera and grew larger to help the others who fell.

“Lucy…..”, Elizabeth was frightened as she grabbed her hand tighter.

“I can’t handle them all alone”, Lucy was sweating due to their situation. “What should I do?........Natsu”

“Natsu! Reina-sama!”, Fairy Tail’s representatives, Gray, Erza, Laxus, Juvia, Wendy, Charle, Romeo, Evergreen, Fried, Bixlow, Wakaba, Macao, Mirajane, Lisanna, Cana, Elfman, Gajeel, Levy, Lily, and thirty escorts from both Master Maru and Elizabeth’s retainers were able to catch up to them.

“You guys…what are you doing here?”, Natsu asked.

“Master sent us”, Erza said.

“Even Father….I mean Master Maru sent you?”, Reina asked the number of escorts.

“Yes, we will protect you and Elizabeth-sama”, they bowed to the ground.

“So…where are they?”, Gray asked.

“We heard an explosion before, did you have a fight with them?”, Wendy asked.

“No, it’s just a trap. We’re clueless right now”, Natsu explained.

“What! Then that means…”

“Ahhhh!”, Lucy was shoved hard towards the ground.

“Lucy!”, Elizabeth cried out. She was being held back by Hotaru as Tenma walks towards Lucy.

He grabbed her clothes and looked at her.

“Now, you’ll pay!”, Tenma angrily readied his punch on her. He was about to make a move on her when Lucy’s chest glowed brightly.

“This is….”, a powerful flame roared out from what was concealed under her clothes. Elizabeth was familiar to that orange colored flame. “My necklace?”, Lucy remembered she wore the necklace Natsu and Happy gave her on her birthday as a charm on this challenge. The flames that roared out of it were much stronger than before. It sounded as though it came from Natsu’s mouth itself when he roars his signature “Fire dragon’s Roar”. “Just how much power did Natsu stored in here!”, Lucy sweat dropped.

“TENMA!”, his fellow members shouted with disbelief. Tenma was flown with the flames far away from where they are. The flames lighted up the sky.

“I can’t believe it! You!!!!”, Hotaru shoved Elizabeth away as she looked furiously at Lucy. “I will kill you right now!”

“Hotaru. Don’t mess with my prey”, Tenma appeared from behind them. His clothes were in tatters and there are few burn marks as well but he looks like he doesn’t mind. In fact he was smiling like he won the nest prize he can ever get in all his life. “You’re really interesting….BLONDIE!”

“Are you sure sending forty seven people, and three Exceeds to help Reina and Natsu Dragneel is enough to handle Advent Ghoul?”, Master Maru said. They were seated inside Fairy Tail as they waited for what will happen. “Why didn’t you let me go with them? Or better yet, why didn’t you?”

“I trust my children. I sent out the best children I have to help them. They can handle that troublesome guild. Their existence is a mystery but I’m pretty sure they can handle themselves. I’m sure they’ll be able to bring the girls home safely”, Master Makarov said as he sipped on his cup of tea. “Besides, I’m too old to handle these things now. Kinana-chan, can you pour me another one please?”

“But why did you let even those little ones with them? They’re too young to fight recklessly”

“Romeo and Wendy might be children. Their fists are small but their feelings and their determination to fight is vast. They will look out for each other I’m sure. Laxus is with them so they’re in good hands”

“I hope you’re right”, Master Maru just sipped on his own tea.

“Another helping?”, Kinana offered.

“Yes please”, Master Maru smiled at her.

“AHHH!”, Lucy shrieked in pain. Her right leg is bleeding due to a cut from the rock that hit her. “I can’t move freely. The necklace is a great help but with this person I don’t stand a chance. Darn it, I can’t focus any longer. My magic is almost……”

Tenma angrily grabbed her again. “Looks like this trash is no use for you now”, he pulled her necklace and threw it away. Lucy angrily squirmed from his grasp to try and retrieve it but Tenma punched her on the gut. “You’re interesting but you’re weak”, Tenma grinned. “Too bad, you’re no use to me. You’ll have to die”, Tenma gestured his hand to the right and some rocks floated. He moulded one of the large rocks from earlier into a big chunk of boulder. “Any last words?”, Tenma smiled at her.

“LUCY!!!”, Elizabeth shouted. She stumbled her way towards her and struggled free as some member of Advent Ghoul keep trying to take her down.

“Yeah. I have”, Lucy gripped her stomach due to the pain. She looked at him with her eyes flaming with determination. “You’ve chosen the wrong guild to anger. Even if you kill me, your guild will definitely fall. You will fail when Fairy Tail get their hands on you”

“Hmmmm”, Tenma smirked once more and gestured his hand towards her.  “Good”

“Lucy!”, she squirmed and kicked anyone on her way. She used every magical items she still has with her against them. “If Lucy was hit by that she’s dead!”, Elizabeth thought.

The rock which was floating dashed its way towards her. Lucy closed her eyes tightly but she left a smile on her petite face.

“LUUUUCCCYYYY!!!! NOOOO!!!!”
