Re: Chapter 366

[icemake]

So, what exactly do you want me to say? I have no clue about that Ice Devil Slayer or whatever supposed connection there may or may not be, and that Natsu was an idiot for storming in like that ought to go without saying.

Things may look bad now, but it always gets worse before it starts to get better.

In the end, Fairy Tail will still come out on the top.

;3; I'm so sorry that I don't have many icons atm. Excuse the failure for now ;3;

[loves_spirits]

Gray, thank God! It looks like you are alright.

[Lucy lets out a sigh of relief. As you can see, she is slightly beaten up.]

You're right; there is no way that Fairy Tail would lose.

What about Juvia? Is she still with you?

[icemake]

Yes she is and we are fine. We arrived well after whoever attacked the former council member and the village he lived in.

[Too late to make an difference.]

What about you, Lucy? You look pretty beat up.

[loves_spirits]

[This earns a sigh of relief from Lucy. At the very least, she can be sure of Gray and Juvia's safety. Now, if only they could hear from Erza and Mira as well...]

I'm fine. I don't have any serious injuries, but I could use some new clothing.

[A small pause.]

Oh and, we cannot find Natsu anywhere. He was with us just a few minutes ago; I can't believe that he's already in for another possible fight.

[icemake]

[Well, but it's Erza and Mira. If anyone is going to kick ass and take names without even breaking sweat against Tartaros, then it's them. Though Gray admits... he does have a rather uneasy feeling about pretty much everything right now.

As for Natsu.]

That idiot. It's just like him to run off without a word.

[fired_up]

Oi! Erza and Mira are both in danger! I can't just stand 'round 'n do nothing, y'know!

[fired_up]

[HUFF PUFF]

Tch. Anyway, was just about to ask you why the heck that other Ice Bastard smells like you. Looks like you dunno either.

[icemake]

And what great help you make now that you've got yourself turned a popsicle.

[icemake]

And nope, I'm drawing blank on that. I guess, we'll see when I get face to face with him.

[fired_up]

Then, hurry up! What's takin' you so long? And it's not like I can't undo what he did. I can just melt the damn thing. [Fire Dragonslayer here. :|]

[icemake]

Stupid, that's the same damn ice you already had trouble melting in Sun Village. If I end up needing to thaw you out, I'm going to kick your ass.

[fired_up]

As if I even need your help, Ice Pants! I can melt myself out just fine!

[icemake]

Now that you are stuck right in the middle of the enemy's headquarters, you damn well better!

[It's not like he's worried about you. Or anything.]

[fired_up]

I know, I know. [Grumble grumble.] You don't hafta tell me. I can beat this Tartaros bastard after I melt this damn ice.

Anyway, where the heck are you 'n Juvia going?

[icemake]

Don't you dare to lose, Natsu.

Back to the guild for the moment. There wasn't anything we could do at that village, and it looks like they found a number of council members sine we left.

1/2

[fired_up]

Tch. [Determined grin goes here.] As if! I'll show these demons that they messed with the wrong guild when they hurt Laxus 'n the others!

[fired_up]

[His grin falters, though, at Gray's last statement.]

Uh, really? Have you gotten word about the others, though? Like Gajeel's team and Elfman's?

[icemake]

Gajeel, Levy and the guys checked in when that elder you rescued spilled beans about Face. No word from Elfman and Lisanna though.

[fired_up]

I hope they're alright. I mean Mira's already in danger. I wouldn't want her siblings to be too.

[Looks like this arc will be tough for them, though.]

[icemake]

Me either, but they are strong. Until we know for sure that something is wrong, there's no use doubting that.

[fired_up]

Well, it's not like I'm doubting their strength. I know they're strong, Elfman 'n Lisanna both are. But there's no way I'll forgive anyone who hurts 'em. [There's obvious pride in his smile.]

[icemake]

Non of us will.

[Grinning right back, because well... that's what being Fairy Tail is all about after all.]

[grayskies]

Juvia has faith in what Gray-sama just said, that Fairy Tail will come out on top, but with all that is happening...

[Her brows furrow in clear anxiety.]

[icemake]

I know. Those guys are on a different level to anything we've faced so far.

[There is no denying that unfortunately.]

[grayskies]

This is true. While Juvia fears for everyone's safety, Juvia also knows we will make it through anything.

[But she still can't erase the anxiety in her voice, unfortunately.]

[icemake]

Exactly.

[And Gray knows her more than well enough to take note of it, too know better than to dismiss it.]

Do you know yet what that feeling of yours is all about?

[let_it_go]

Ice Devil Slayer?

[icemake]

Yeah. I haven't met him yet, but he's some pretty foul guy, from the sense of his magic.

[let_it_go]

Who is this person?

[icemake]

Hell, if I know. I only found out about him, when he froze all of Sun Village a few weeks ago.

[let_it_go]

- I see.

[One happy Elsa this does not make.]

Perhaps it was an accident . . .

[icemake]

He mistook the village's guardian for a devil apparently, so I guess you could say that it was. We managed to fix it at least.

[let_it_go]

He had good intentions, then, but that does not excuse him from making the lives of the villagers difficult.

[Sigh. Sounds familiar.]

What is it that makes him so foul?

[icemake]

It's too early to tell, if he really did.

His ice gives off a... pretty unsettling vibe. Sorry, it's kind of hard to describe.

[let_it_go]

. . . I see.

[Well, that's no consolation. Elsa just keeps her face impassive.]

[icemake]

[...Yeah, it's pretty much a conversation killer. He sighs.]

Well, no use getting depressed over it. The answers will come when they come, one way or another.

[At latest when/if he ends up facing that guy himself.]

[let_it_go]

Of course.

What country are you from? I have yet to hear of this Ice Devil Slayer, and I certainly would have heard of it if it were in my own country.

[icemake]

Uh well. He isn't exactly widely known about.

I'm from Fiore though.

[let_it_go]

It is my business to know what goes on in my country. I would have heard of him.

Fiore? I have not heard of this kingdom.

[icemake]

All I'm saying is that he's from a pretty secretive bunch.

Seriously? It's in the very west of Earthland. Pretty well known for its mageguilds too.
