• CHAPTER 2

    It was about forty five minutes later when Natsu burst in, running up to the bar, Erza and Grey were walking in behind with Happy flying above them. When they got there they were shocked at the expression Mira had on her face which was one of disappointment, complete and utter disappointment.

    Cautiously walking up to the bar noticing the looks they were getting from everyone else mirrored Mira’s.

    “Mira, what’s wrong? Don’t tell me something happened” Erza asked a little worried.

    “How could you do that?” she snapped.

    “Do what?” Grey replied as confused as everyone else.

    “You left Lucy behind!” Mira replied curtly.

    “It was a really dangerous mission and you know Lucy, she isn’t exactly strong” Erza replied defensively.

    “She’s stronger than you!” Mira said earning a snort from Natsu, a smirk from Grey and a baffled look from Erza.

    “She became an S-Rank mage the very time she got the stamp on her hand” Mira said, shocking the three of them.

    “Why, all she can do is Stellar Magic” Natsu said sounding a little hurt that he didn’t already know, after all he and Lucy were best friends, right, even if he wanted to be more.

    “Yeah…..” Grey started to say but stopped when something went crashing through the Guild side wall taking out everything and anyone in its path and finally coming to an abrupt halt courteously of the opposite wall.

    After a few moments when the dust settled, slouched in a crumpled heap against the wall was Luxus, groaning, barely conscious.

    Everyone stood aghast, who could have possibly defeated Luxus!

    Even Erza is no match for him! Who or what could have reduced Luxus to this sad image before them?

    The bar was stood shell-shocked, you could hear a pin drop, and everyone was stood silent, frozen to the spot.

    Just then, heads began to turn towards the hole in the wall that Luxus had just been catapulted through, and there stood, with a face that could kill was Luxus’s opponent.
