55S'up everyone? Part 3 in the hiz-ouse! Don't got much to say this time, other then thank you for your kind words about last chapter. I do try and do different stuff. Sometimes it may not work, other times it does, but I always try. Sorry for the wait though, I got a new job that has been draining for me. Plus, this whole coronavirus thing got me and a decent amount of my family freaked out. Which has also been draining on me to.
Luckily we are all in good health and are safe. I figured this might help lift my spirits, so I decided to finally get back to writing. Hope I do a good job being out of practice. Also, for all those wondering when I'm gonna update Ben 10: Heroic Frontier. Well wonder no longer because the chapter is coming out really soon! Anyhow, let's get the ball rolling!
Lucy and Happy had arrived at the village just a little bit ago, and proceeded to tell everyone what was happening. They started to panic of course. But Lucy told them to remain calm, she had a plan.
"Open Gate of The Maiden: Virgo!" After the usual flash of light, a pink haired girl dressed in a maid outfit with shackles appeared. She was one of Lucy's Celestial Spirits named, Virgo. Obviously.
"You summoned me Princess. How may I serve you?" She said in a polite manner.
"Hey there, Virgo! I have a job for you." Lucy said, cheerfully.
"Do you wish to punish me?" She asked. Excitement clearly in her voice.
"No! I need you to use your powers near the village's gate."
"As you wish."
Walking up a few feet away for the gate. Virgo's eyes glowed red, before the ground underneath her gave way. This continued two more times before she finished.
"It is done princess."
"Great job. Now get out of there, I need to- wait. What's that sound?" Everyone stopped what they were doing and listened closely.
"-troll ball licking, son of an elf whore! I'm going to tear off your head and shove it up your dick ho-"
'BOOM!'
Out of nowhere, something fell right into the hole. Kicking up a lot of dirt and dust in the process. Everybody rushed over to see it was Erdan! Laying in the hole, still grumbling something. Virgo, crushed underneath him.
"Wow! Isn't that your friend?" Asked a villager. "Where'd he come from?"
"Wow Lucy," Happy said. "looks like your plan worked!"
"I hadn't even finished stupid cat! Hey Erdan, you okay?"
Sitting up, he shook his head to clear the ringing. "Yeah I'm good. Or rather I will be, AFTER I PUMMEL THAT ICEY ASSHOLE!"
He then heard a groan underneath him, and felt something firm in his hand. Looking down he saw not only the spirit beneath him. But that he was also squeezing her ass.
"Hum, not bad."
"Would you stop feeling up my spirits?!"
"No! Please sir, you may continue if you feel like it." Virgo insisted. A blush on her face and a pervy smile across he lips.
"Wow Lucy your spirits are kinky!" Climbing out of the hole. Erdan tilted his head to the side, popping his neck in the process.
"So... do I even need to ask what happened?" Lucy asked, awkwardly.
"Well I was about to finish off that Icey prick. But he summoned some kind of giant ice snake, and flung me here. Damn coward! Get over here and take your gutting like a man!" He shouted angrily in the direction of the temple.
Lucy sweat-dropped. "Um, Erdan. I don't think he can hear you."
"Why don't you come here and try it!" A voice answered. Shocking the blonde and cat.
"HOLY CRAP HE HEARD YOU?!" They exclaimed.
"What? No, I said that." Looking over to their right. Everyone saw the unmistakable duo of Yuka and Toby.
"Marionette Attack: Wood Doll!"
Out of the blue, a nearby tree suddenly came to life and attacked the trio. They managed to get out of the way, although it did knock down a nearby house. Uprooting itself, the tree made it's way over to the pair of evil wizards. Sitting in it's branches was Sherry.
"Not these guys again!" Happy exclaimed.
"How did they get here so fast?" asked Lucy.
"Well, we were going to try and find a painless way, to kill the villagers." Yuka explained. "But without the giant rat our options were limited. At the end of the day we simply decided to come down, and do the job ourselves."
"Ah!" Lucy groaned, as she slumped over comically. "But now I'll never get to use my pitfall trap."
"Wait, that's what that was?" Asked Erdan and Happy.
"If you really thought that would work, then I hate to break it to you Lucy. But I think you may be, stupid." Happy told her. Much to her irritation.
"YOUR SO RUDE!"
"Quiet!" Sherry commanded them." There's something I need to ask you fairies." She told them with a intense glare. Filled with rage.
"Which of you was it? Which one of you monsters killed my dear Angelica?!"
Erdan stepped forward. A serious expression plastered on his face.
"Well then, looks like I got no choice. I admit it. I admit... it was all Lucy's doing." He said plainly while pointing back at the blonde.
"WAIT? WHAT?!" She screamed.
"I tried telling her that she was going too far, but would she listen? Nooooo. She even laughed as she skin the poor thing alive."
Now anyone who was there knew that this was total horse shit. Problem was, Sherry wasn't there, and had no reason to believe he was lying. The pink haired mage sent an icy glare, full of malice and hate Lucy's way.
"YOU! I'll kill you for what you've done!" She declared, causing the blonde to scream in fright.
"Great! Your rat definitely needs avenging. So why don't you ladies have your fight to the death elsewhere."
Lifting her up, Erdan threw Lucy right at Sherry. This surprised the two but before they could do or say anything. The Dragonborn inhaled and let out a powerful, "Fus Ro Dah!" Sending the wood doll flying far away. The two young ladies riding screamed in terror as they went with it.
Happy floated there, mouth agape. "What you do that for?!" He asked.
"Well, just from looking, I could tell she was the most dangerous of these bozos. If she went on a rampage, she might hurt the villagers." Happy was a little shocked to hear this. He hadn't know Erdan long, but from what he'd seen and heard the cat thought, he wouldn't care too much about the villagers. Perhaps he'd been a little too hard on the guy. Maybe he was actually a good person.
"Yeah, good thinking protecting the village!" Happy exclaimed. Proud of his new friend.
"I mean we have to. If we don't, then everyone dies. No villagers mean there's no one left to pay us. And I ain't running a charity here!" Ah, there's the asshole he was getting to know.
"But I'm afraid there's no 'we' here my flying, feline friend. I need you to help Lucy."
"You sure?"
"Trust me kitty, I can handle eyebrows and dog boy on my own."
"Eyebrows?" Yuka paused to feel his eyebrows. They weren't that big... right?
"I'm not a dog you jerk!" Toby cried.
"If your sure. Good luck." Happy called out as he flew away.
"So" Erdan turned his attention back to his foes. "which one of you is going to charge first? I personally hope Fido does."
"I SAID I'M NOT A DOG! That does it! Yuka, stay back this guy is mine!" Toby ran forward like a bat out of hell. Stopping just short of the armour-clad Dragonborn. A scowl present on his face.
This action confused Erdan. "Wait... your the only one attacking me?"
"Yeah, what about it?" He asked harshly.
"Shouldn't you two attack at the same time? I mean, it instantly raises your chances of winning."
"I don't need him! Besides, it wouldn't be fair."
"Your chivalry and honour are dumb," He told him plainly. "but alright. If you insist."
Toby then started to laugh. "Bad news for you big guy. Yuka over there may be tough, BUT I'M EVEN STRONGER!" With that the dog man's fingernails turned green, before extending out.
"These are my mega jellyfish paralyzing claws. Bet you'll never guess what they can do."
"Oh jeez sir, I have no clue." He replied, sarcastically. "Do they turn you into sweet rolls?"
"Ha! No, they paralyze you idiot!" Toby raised his right hand and prepared to strike. "Just one scratch and you'll be helpless. Just sitting there, waiting to die!"
Slashing at him, Toby made the mistake of aiming right for the center of his armoured chest. Breaking all of his nails. He screamed in pain, while Erdan didn't feel a thing.
"Lucky break. Take this!" Raising his left, old dog boy tried again. Aiming at the exact same spot as before. With the exact same result.
"Maybe you should aim somewhere else." Erdan suggested.
"Shut up! I don't need your help." Going in for a jab, caused his hand to break against the armour next. A left hock for the Dovahkiin's head caused his fingers to be nearly broken thanks to his helmet. Toby tried to hit him once more with a powerful roundhouse kick. This was quickly caught however, with his leg being broken once Erdan brought an elbow down on it.
Toby howled in pain before falling to his knees. "A-Alright... I'm willing to accept a draw. Deal?"
Erdan smirked at him. "An interesting proposal. But let me offer this instead." Placing his left hand gently on Toby's head, he let loose a torrent of purple lightning. The dog themed wizards screamed and twitched before falling over. Smoke, trailing off of him.
"Well that was pathetic. My little brother could beat you, and he's just a kid!" Turning his attention to Yuka, the Dragonborn looked bored. "So eyebrows do you want some to?"
Yuka chuckled. "Not bad. You beat Toby with such easy. But don't believe what that moron says. I'm much more powerful then him. Come here, and I'll show you."
"Suit yourself, Firebolt!" As the ball of fire speed towards him. Yuka raised his hand.
"Wave!" A clear field of energy appeared out of thin air. When the ball hit it, it dissipated.
"Hum." Erdan hummed curiously. "Alright how about, Lighting Bolt!"
"Wave!" Once again, his attack dissipated.
"Don't bother wasting your magic power." Yuka told him. "I specialized in Anti-Wizard magic when I was with the Lamia Scale guild. Meaning all your attacks, will be pointless."
"Oh yeah?" Drawing his sword, our drunken Dragonborn ran forward. As he was bringing his weapon down. His opponent used another wave. This one taking the form of a dome. Which caused his sword to bounce right off.
"Magic weapons are powerless, against me to. Man, I am just the worst opponent for you aren't I?"
Taking a moment he thought about trying hand to hand combat. But, if it blocked his sword, it would most likely block his fist thanks to his enchanted armour. Then an idea popped into his mind.
"Alright, guess it's time for plan N." Igniting fire in both his hands, he unleashed a huge amount of flames. Completely obscuring Yuka's vision.
"Man, you are an idiot. How many times do I have to tell you magic won't work against me?"
"Oh I heard." As the fire cleared Erdan was revealed. Much to Yuka's shock however, he had ditched his armour, weapons and even his under clothes. Yes ladies and gentlemen, Erdan was one hundred percent naked.
"W-W-What the hell are you doing?!" The evil wizards asked. This gave our Dragonborn friend an opening as the shock caused his opponent to drop his barrier. This was all he needed. Yuka was sent flying as a strong fist made contact with his nose. He lay on the ground, clutching his now broken nose. Cursing while in pain.
"Plan N, aka Plan Get Naked!"
"Not bad. You distracted me so I'd drop my Wave. But this fight is far from, Glak!" He never got to finish as another punch hit him in the face. "HOLD ON! Your supposed to let time finish before, Glak!"
"Now why in Oblivion would I do that?" Erdan asked as he continued to wail on him. "When they're on the ground is a perfect time to attack, since they can't really attack back or defend themselves. Does everyone here know nothing about battle?! Because when in it, you don't go on long winded speeches! That's a good way to get yourself right where you are now!"
Far away Natsu, who was sill trapped in ice, made his way to the village. Carrying Grey, who was in rough shape. "Man this suck." He complained. "I'm so damn slow! Hope the others are okay."
"Oh Natsu, is that you?" He heard the voice of Erdan ask from behind some foliage.
"Erdan! It's good to see you, WHAT THE?!" Stepping into the open. It was revealed that he still hadn't put back on any of his clothes. "Why the heck are you naked?"
"Well one of the guys I fought could block my magic, which included by enchanted gear. So I had to strip in order to hit him." He explained.
"... Makes sense. So what are you doing out here?"
"Well I wanted to see if I could find any of you guys to guard the village. Don't need someone else coming in and wrecking thing while I'm gone." He then noticed Grey's condition. "Holy, he got fucked up."
"You got that right."
"Ah, man. Here let me help." Holding out his hand, Erdan cast Heal Other on Grey. His wounds became noticeably less severe. Although, the Ice-Make wizard still needs to get some rest. Taking him from Natsu, Erdan ran back towards the village. Much to the pinkette's irritation since he was left behind.
Eventually, Natsu did make it back to the village. Strangely enough the mass of ice surrounded him vanished after he took a few steps in.
"Hu? It melted? Weird, but cool!" It didn't take long for him to find a villager, who told him Grey was currently resting safe and sound. He was glad to hear that.
"So where's Erdan?" He asked, while looking around. "I got a plan and I think he'd be a big help."
The villager looked... uneasy. "Well... how should I say this? He was here one moment then gone."
"Gone?"
"Yeah. He came in, naked mind you, and dropped off your friend. Then he started swearing, then he looked up into the sky, muttered something about traveling fast. Only to disappear when we took our eyes off him. And before you ask, we are one hundred percent sure he didn't run off. I only took my eyes off him for a second! Hell, one of the kids said he just vanished!"
Natsu was left very confused as he tried to process what he was told.
"Dude I'm gonna be real here. Your friend is seriously freaking us out."
"Whatever." The Dragonslayer groaned as he rubbed the confusion out of his head. "He's probably heading back to the temple. Better go join him!"
"Oh hold on!" Another villager called out. "Another of your friends is here too. Said she wanted to see you, as soon as you got back."
"Must be Lucy." Natsu hypothesised. "Better tell her what's going on."
Walking up to the specified hut, he opened the door. Now, he expected to be greeted by a busty blonde and his blue feline friend. He called to them but they did not greet him back. For the duo were all tired up and laying on the ground. Looking over to their capture, his face twisted in fear as a cold sweat began to run down his face.
"You made it back quickly. That's good. Now, mind telling me what you were thinking taking on this quest?" Erza asked him, while giving him a death glare.
"Run Natsu!" Happy called out, while Lucy cried comical tears. Before he could even try though, the scarlet haired armour wizard was already in front of him. Sword raised on high. Ready to bring it down on him.
"WHAAAAAAA!" The Dragonslayer cried out.
Well that's a rap. I know this is shorter then normal, but if I tried to write everything I have planned it would have taken longer to finish this. And to be real, I just wanted to get this chapter out. The next chapter will definitely be a big departure form canon. So be prepared! Other then that I will see you all next time! Peace!
