Lucy watched Natsu defeat the two bullies and excitedly hugged Natsu and Happy, crying her eyes out; she had been truly terrified just now.
"Lucy?"
Natsu and Happy were puzzled in their hearts—had Irene and Acnologia really been that scary just now?
How come they didn't feel anything?
"Thank you, thank you for coming to save me!"
Lucy said while crying, "I don't want any Child of Destiny anymore; you guys are the most important people to me."
Compared to those ethereal things, comrades are the most real.
Natsu looked at Lucy's fearful expression, and his desire to tease her vanished; he gently stroked her hair and said, "Lucy, let's go home."
Lucy looked up, saw the look in Natsu's eyes, and smiled as she nodded vigorously: "Mhm!"
...Half a month passed in the blink of an eye.
The sky was thick with dark clouds, and lightning flickered as a spaceship traveled through the clouds; this was a true Dark Guild, Grimoire Heart.
Ultear stood on the deck, looking into the distance with a hint of confusion: "Ur..."
The mother who once abandoned her had been resurrected and was now on the side of Fairy Tail; perhaps they would be enemies in the future.
Although she knew Ur had been looking for her, she had no intention of appearing or returning to her mother's embrace.
She could never forgive such an unfit mother.
"Guild Master Hades, Oración Seis has begun to move, and the Fairy Tail Guild, along with Blue Pegasus, Lamia Scale, and Blue Cats House, have gone to stop them."
A voice came from the darkness: "Continue to monitor them. Jellal is still in the hands of Oración Seis, and the key must be obtained. As for Fairy Tail... if Oración Seis has the strength, I don't want to have to act personally..."
...Fairy Tail Guild
At this time, everyone gathered together and mapped out the distribution of the Dark Guilds; since the Dark Guilds were already making moves, they couldn't just sit and wait for death.
Mirajane had a serious expression: "The Balam Alliance of Dark Guilds is led by Oración Seis, Tartaros, and Grimoire Heart. They rule over the weaker Dark Guilds, and their power is extremely terrifying."
She looked at the distribution map of the Dark Guilds and sighed in her heart; many guilds had once been on the side of justice before falling into darkness.
"Oración Seis has appeared, and we must make thorough preparations. There are only six enemies, but their strength is far beyond any we've faced in the past."
Makarov walked over and said, "The Alliance has now made a decision; we will be the ones to crusade against Oración Seis."
"Only us?"
Everyone was a bit shocked; that was one of the Three Giants of the Balam Alliance, and defeating them wouldn't be easy.
"Not exactly..."
Makarov shook his head and said, "After deliberation by the Magic Guild Alliance, we will form an Allied Forces and formally declare war on them."
"Fairy Tail, Blue Pegasus, Lamia Scale, and Blue Cats House—the four of us will send members to work together to destroy them."
Natsu said with full confidence, "There's no need for so many people; I'm enough on my own!"
Erza gave him a slap on the head: "Stop talking nonsense and listen to the Guild Master's arrangements."
"Are you sure there are only six of them?"
Lucy was shivering as she listened on the side; just how powerful were they to require such a large mobilization?
She already had a bad premonition in her heart.
Irene patted Lucy's shoulder and smiled: "Little Lucy, don't be afraid, I'll protect you."
"Really?"
Lucy's eyes lit up, and she happily reached out to hug her.
Good idea, Sister Irene is very strong!
However, Sister Irene was a bit mischievous, and Lucy feared she might just throw her into the fight when the time came... On a cliff, the Oración Seis gathered, looking down at the forest emitting thick black mist.
Leader Brain, members Midnight Macbeth, Laxus Dreyar, Angel Sorano Agria, Cobra Erik, and Hoteye Richard.
The red-haired man Erik sneered as he stroked the giant purple snake beside him: "I can already hear it—the sound of darkness destroying the light."
"Darkness is coming; it's time to let the legal guilds feel our terror!" a masked man said indifferently.
"That legendary magic is hidden in this place—the true Super Magic, Nirvana!"
A black-haired man sitting on a Magic Carpet looked at the distant forest and asked softly, "Is that magic really that powerful?"
A man holding a Skull Staff walked over with a cold expression: "You just have to watch; it will definitely exceed your imagination!"
...In the forest, a purple wild boar was pulling a carriage as it traveled through.
Lucy sat in the carriage with a collapsed expression: "Why was I chosen to participate in this operation when I'm clearly so weak?"
Acnologia took a bite of an apple and said indifferently, "Because we are the Fire Dragon Squad; we share our troubles, and we can't let you enjoy yourself alone at the guild."
Erza was peeling apples for him nearby, Irene was giving him a massage, Natsu and Happy were kneading his feet, and Gray was making him an ice-cold drink.
Lucy was furious: "Why are you so comfortable!"
Acnologia smiled: "As the battlefield commander, I'm the one who decides which of you goes out to fight."
Except for Lucy, Gray, Natsu, and Erza all wanted to face an enemy alone, and since the decision-making power was in his hands, they naturally had to curry favor with him.
As for Happy, he wanted to be a mascot and a cheerleader.
Lucy was stunned for a moment: "How come nobody told me this?"
"What's the use of telling you? The decision-making power wouldn't fall into your hands anyway."
"Damn it!"
"Are you sure you don't want to do something?"
Lucy: "..."
If I just sit here and watch, you'll probably make me the vanguard.
Bang!
Suddenly, the vehicle seemed to hit something and jolted, nearly overturning.
Erza immediately stood up, smashed the apple onto Acnologia's stomach, and was the first to rush out.
Then she saw a little blue-haired girl and a cat squatting on the ground.
Acnologia walked out holding the apple, looking a bit surprised: "Wendy?"
He didn't expect to meet her on the road; currently, Wendy seemed to be a member of Blue Cats House.
The little blue-haired girl was a bit nervous and hurriedly scrambled up: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to."
Erza said with a smile, "We're the ones who should say sorry; our carriage hit you."
Natsu looked at her curiously: "Such a familiar feeling, have I seen her somewhere before?"
Happy looked at that Little White Cat, his eyes almost flying out of his head: "So pretty!"
He patted Lucy's leg: "Lucy, can you help me give a fish to her?"
Lucy flatly refused: "No!"
She saw that the proud Little White Cat didn't want to pay attention to Happy at all, so she wasn't going to do it.
Acnologia looked at the familiar little girl; she had once held onto him and called him big brother, and now four hundred years had passed in a flash.
He said with a smile, "We are Mages from Fairy Tail; you must be Wendy from Blue Cats House."
Wendy said shyly, "Yes... yes!"
She looked at Acnologia and felt that the person before her was very familiar, but she just couldn't remember for the moment.
"We are also going to the Alliance meeting; get in, we'll give you a ride."
"But... I get motion sickness."
Natsu laughed loudly: "We have Irene here; she can enchant the vehicle with balance, so you won't feel sick anymore."
In the future, he would follow Irene whenever they went far; motion sickness was truly too painful.
"Then I'll trouble you!"
