TWABA ch 6
Previously on TWABA:
"EEEEEEEEYYYYYYYAAAAAAAAHHHHH HHHHH!"
An eerie scream fill the room. Yep, it was a male, no alien or monster. I ran to the light switch, while the male was on the ground, holding his ever-so-damaged family jewels.
My eyes went wide like saucers. I was scared of HIM?!
Back to the present:
Lucy's P.O.V.
"Nichiya?! What the hell?! I thought you were in Earthland?!" I squawked.
There is NO WAY this cat is in this world! I pinched my arm to make sure I wasn't dreaming. I squeaked.
Yup, I wasn't dreaming, it was real.
I look back at the cat, now struggling to get up, still holding his groin in a protective manner. His face scrunched up every time the pain came back. Just looking at the cat's form made me cringe, myself regretting that hostile kick. But what was I supposed to do? I didn't know it was the creepy cat. Anyone in my position would do the same thing, attack and defend you own being.
"No, it's okay, Lucy-san. I'm fine, I just got kicked in the balls and it hurt like hell, but all the while I'm fine. How are you? Men!" the cat sarcastically said to the wide-eyed Mage in front of him.
"Oh, I'm sorry! Uh, let me help you up." I awkwardly said, pulling him up on his paws. "I'm sorry, you just made me a little jumpy. Are you alright?"
"Just the pain still lingers a little but, otherwise I'm alright. And you? Men!" Nichiya stated, looking up at me.
"Uh, good, I guess." I said awkwardly and sweat dropped when he said the unnecessary "Men!", while slowly inching my way away from the cat. "Hey, just a question, and no offense, but why are you here? Shouldn't you be in Earthland?"
Nichiya looked at me for a few seconds, then started to stare intently at the floor. It looked like he was trying to remember, giving the occasional "Ah! That's- no, no." for a while. Since I knew this was gonna be a while, I sat on the floor, still thinking about my partner, whom should have shown up a long time ago.
Natsu.
Just where are you right now? Everyone's waiting, well more likely planning something devious for us. Wonder what their plan is, since Mira's terrible at that kind of thing. Is it a surprise for your birthday? Mine? No. I doubt that. They would be in chaos trying to keep either you or me away from the guild for about a week, I suppose. But still...
"I HAVE IT!" I jumped at Nichiya's voice.
"What is it?!" I said wide-eyed, startled from his yell, myself lost in thought.
"I was sent here to warn you of the organization."
I stared at the orange cat, not believing one word that he spoke. "The what?"
"The organization. You know, prisoner # 66?"
"Ahh, him." I said, recalling of some of the guild members murmuring about a prisoner # 66. Apparently, prisoner # 66 was a job that some member of our guild was supposed to take care of. The job consisted of destroying a group of thugs saying they were the best group of criminals, when they were just a bunch of mediocre wanna-be's. Prisoner # 66 was also in this job as well, but he was just the top leader, who supposedly escaped prison 7 weeks ago. He got together with his buddies and started planning out this entire contraption, saying that "it would destroy them Fairies!".
"So, what about him?" I asked.
"His plans are working? You have to stop him! Men!" the orange fireball exclaimed.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa! Why should I stop him?! There's already a job on him and he's taken care of!" I stated to him. Nichiya stared at me like I had 3 heads and the words "Stupid Ass" written on my forehead, which to him, sounded just perfect to describe me right now.
Nichiya started to pace back and forth in the guild garage, muttering to himself "Why was I the one to explain this to the dumb blonde?!". Just that comment ticked me off right then and there.
He looked back at me yelling, "He's taken care of?! NO! He wasn't taken care of! How do you think I got here?! Men!" Nichiya shook his head, "And besides, don't go to-" Nichiya stopped abruptly, listening to his surroundings. "I'm not safe here. Dammit! There isn't enough time! Men!" A sudden black hole started to form in the middle of the room, expanding slowly. A sudden gust of wind started to blow in the small room, sending projectiles everywhere hitting the two conversing human and exceed.
"W-what's going on! What the hell's happening?! Where did the hole come from and why wind?!" Lucy screeched, her short golden locks whipping against her. The orange cat was being trampled in the tornado of objects and was getting sucked into the black hole. Lucy was focusing on the cat, Nichiya trying to shout a message to her.
"LUCY, WHATEVER YOU DO, STAY CLEAR OF EROIF!" Nichiya shouted, dragging and desperately trying to grab on anything. "THEY'LL BE THERE! MEN!"
Lucy looked at the cat. His eyes were basically screaming out to her "Save me!" and "I'm warning you now!". But as Lucy was to retort to his answer, Nichiya was sucked back into the black hole, all objects thrown around her dropped to the concrete flooring.
Whispers of his answer was lingering in the air. 'They'll be there, watch out.' What? Watch out for the organization? Why would they be involved? Who are they? Why? Those were just some of the many questions Lucy has yet to answer, Nichiya's dire message clearly confusing the Mage.
Silence enveloped the room.
Besides the occasional bird chirping and the small breaths the blonde was taking in, yells, consisting of two names, were heard outside the glass windows.
"Lucy! Natsu!"
"Blonde bitch! Crybaby!"
"Lucy-san! Natsu-san!"
"Ashley! Draigon!"
Everyone? I got up from my sitting position and walked towards the small glass window. The only window that wasn't damaged, cracked or the dirtiest, at least.
There they are, my nakama. Yelling for Natsu's name and mine, all of them worried. Well, most of them LOOKED worried, Cana was pale and Mira was screaming for our names. Everyone else, though, looked comcerned or angry that Natsu and I disappeared.
I touched the glass window, acting if I could just grab them towards my location. Leaning on the glass, I sighed, now back into La La Land and thinking about where my partner was. He couldn't have gone far, he only knows the guild and the forest, where he ran off days ago, weeping and I, trying my best to comfort him without hurting him more than he already was.
A can of a black substance rolled on the wooden counter top. Oil, I think, from what Natsu told me. He lectured me one fine afternoon on how his car works and, if he ever gets into an accident, I was to fix and take care of his car while he was recovering from injuries. He trusted me only to watch and care for his car. Only me. Not one other guild member. And I felt glad that, to think, the "Fireball Natsu" trusted only me with his precious car.
Wait.
Was this one of the little things Mira said? Natsu trusting me and me only? Trust? A simple little action?
My thoughts were cut short when the oil can rolled onto the floor, spilling it's contents on the concrete. I looked at the mess and then took a glance around the garage, seeing if there was a roll of paper towels or fabric for me to clean up the debris. There were tables filled with random objects, a small fridge and some nuts and bolts scattered, nothing that would help.
In the corner of my right eye, I thought I saw something, or someone, move. Curiosity took over as I turned to my right. There was a cabinet, a make-shift closet, slightly opened and a stack of papers on its left. I slowly walked towards the closet, cautious, yet not nearly on-edge as before. Didn't want to be jumpy and then scare the next "magic cat" with my ferocious "Lucy Kick".
Shouts of my name and Natsu's were silenced. That's odd. Wouldn't were they just frantically calling our names? Outside, footsteps were coming closer towards the garage. 'Ah, someone must've been smart enough to look in here first, since Natsu went after his car and obviously his car is supposed to be here.' I thought. I stared intently at the garage door, waiting for whoever to come and find me, but a hand coming out of the closet grabbed my arm and pulled me inside. The person put its hand on my mouth to silence my screams of help and kept both of my arms behind my back, locked in place.
Of course, you would probably be thinking "Who the hell is that person" or "Uh, HELLLOOOO? Shouldn't you be kicking ass like before?". Yes, I should have, but before I could take on a fight with the maniac that pulled me in, its voice silenced me. "Lucy! It's just me!" it whispered to me.
I relaxed my muscles in relief but a thought struck through my head. 'Why the hell is he in here?!'
"Natsu! What the hell!" I whispered in a menacing voice. "Why are you in a closet for god sakes!"
"Well, first, I heard everything."
My eyes widened. 'Wait! He heard?! And the cat!'
"What did Nichiya mean, Lucy?" Ah, so he did hear the conversation.
I stayed silent, thinking of what to say next. Yes, what did the damn cat mean? Stay away? Well, we couldn't. It was for Natsu's car, he was so pumped that his car would be up and running again. And what was wrong with Eroif? I shrugged off the question, lifting my shoulders, signaling Natsu that I had no idea. He nodded and proceeded with answering my question.
"If you're wondering why I'm in here, I just got the car outside. I came in here to grab my sword but I heard someone outside, which was you, and hid in here." I face palmed at his explanation.
"Again, why the fuck did you hide in here?! Couldn't you have just stayed in the room?" I whisper-shouted.
As Natsu was about to answer, the guild garage door handle clicked softly. Natsu froze, unable to do anything, while I tried to look through the closet door's crack. The small strip of sunlight blinded me for a couple of seconds, a silhouette of a person appeared.
"Oi! Lucy! Natsu! Come out, come out wherever you are!"
'Levy' I thought. 'Crap! If she sees Natsu and I like this-!'
Natsu squirmed in his position, uncomfortable of the situation. Lucy shoved her elbow into Natsu's abdomen, trying to shut the baby up, but of course, nothing ever goes the way you want it. The pinkette hunched over by the powerful blow to his stomach, pushing Lucy out of the closet, and tumbled toward the concrete flooring.
Third Person P.O.V.
Lucy had sprawled out on the floor, her right cheek squashed under the pressure and her head radiating immense pain all over her body.
"What the fuck?!" yelled Levy, who watched the scene unravel. Her face contorted to multiple emotions all in a short amount of time; from shocked to confused, then realization and a wide smirk reached the blunette's face. 'Oh, crap!' Lucy screamed inside her head.
Slyly, Levy started to walk around the collapsed couple, one scared for what Levy was thinking, the other crawled up in a ball, clutching his abdomen. "So," she started, "why were you two gone for so long? Hmmm?" Levy questioned them, Lucy praying to god for her to not misinterpret the scene. "Is it because you two were, I don't know, in a closet, ALONE, doing something sinful, perhaps?" She inquired, smirking and trying not to laugh at Lucy and Natsu.
Sweat slid down on Lucy's temple, "Levy, whatever you saw, isn't what it looks like, okay?"
"Mmmnnn. That's what they all say."
"LEVY!"
A snicker was heard from the blunette. "Alright, alright, I'll keep this a secret," Lucy's shoulders drooped in relief, "BUT!" Of course this was bound to happen! thought Lucy. "You have to be my servant for an entire month".
Lucy groaned, I knew it! Reluctantly, Lucy muttered, "Fine."
Levy smirked in victory, enjoying the blonde cower in front of her. "Well then, lets get a move-on, shall we?"
After catching up with everyone, they headed off to Eroif, where another adventure awaited them.
I had such a damn big writer's block when I was writing this! I hate having to lie to you guys! But I promise that the next chapter is where they finally go to Eroif.
Please Review!
