"Bang!"
With a deafening crash, the door was blasted apart by a brute force, kicking up a cloud of dust.
Roused abruptly from his slumber, Ron shot up in bed; his eyes were still groggy, but the mont he clearly saw the figure standing before him, he felt an imdiate sense of helplessness.
"I say, Erza..."
Ron rubbed his disheveled hair.
"Could I possibly ask you to be a little gentler with my door the next ti you visit?"
Erza turned a deaf ear to Ron's complaint. With her arms crossed over her chest and a face as impassive as still water, she made the very air in the room feel as if it had frozen solid.
"Is this... has sothing gone wrong?"
Ron asked tentatively.
"Get up, we need to leave!"
"Leave?" The cold tone only deepened Ron's confusion. "I don't recall accepting any missions."
"Don't tell you don't know about Natsu stealing that S-Class request and heading off to Galuna Island."
Erza's gaze was as sharp as a blade as she spoke with terse precision.
"Gray went to stop them, but he hasn't returned either. By the looks of it now, he must have joined them."
Hearing this, Ron finally breathed a sigh of relief.
So that's what this was about! You should have just said so earlier, you had scared out of my wits first thing in the morning.
After all, he had personally witnessed the entire process of Happy swiping the request form; he simply hadn't intervened much at the ti, seeing as there didn't appear to be any real danger involved.
In the original story, Erza went alone to drag those guys back. He hadn't expected that this ti, she would co to get him first.
Ron carefully glanced at Erza, who was like a powder keg. The faint sense of danger she radiated made him smart enough not to say anything more.
After all, if they were really settling scores, he did bear so responsibility.
"Alright, alright, I understand."
Ron raised his hands in a gesture of surrender.
"Since Titania herself has co to invite , I'll accompany you on this trip."
"How about you step out for a mont while I put on so clothes?"
He pointed to himself and then looked at Erza. Seeing her unmoved, he helplessly pursed his lips, as if to say, 'Fine, you win.'
Erza was highly combustible right now, and he didn't want to pick a fight with her here and have his house demolished.
As Ron dressed, he recalled the situation on Galuna Island.
'Galuna Island, let think about what's there... Gray's senior Lyon, Ultear, and oh, there's also a demon, Deliora...'
After a quick cleanup, Erza hurried Ron along as they set off.
Although she was angry at Natsu and the others for taking an S-class request without permission, she was more... worried.
After all, the reason S-class missions were placed on the second floor and left uncompleted for long periods was precisely because of their danger.
The two arrived at Hargeon, rented a boat, and headed straight for Galuna Island.
However, not long into their voyage, an accident occurred. A pirate ship flying a skull flag charged out from the side.
"Wah-ha-ha-ha! I didn't expect such an unexpected harvest. What a beautiful babe..."
"She looks like she's got so kick to her."
"Hey! Little beauty, stop your boat!"
Just as Ron was about to move, he heard a loud "Boom!" Erza, who had been suppressing her anger with nowhere to vent, suddenly leaped up and charged directly onto the pirate ship.
"Ah—!"
Screams rang out and then stopped. In just an instant, everyone was sprawled across the deck, defeated.
"This ship is ours now."
Erza glanced at the leisurely Ron, then looked coldly at the pirate captain, who was trembling with fear.
"Yes, yes! Please... please use it..."
Erza was satisfied with the other's attitude and crossed her arms. "Depart!"
"Where... where to?"
"Galuna Island," Ron replied.
"Galuna Island, that cursed island?!"
Hearing this, the pirate captain's face turned pale instantly, his voice filled with fear and a hint of a sob.
"Please let us go! That's a cursed island. It's said that everyone who goes there... turns into a demon!!!"
"I have no interest in that!"
Erza ignored the pirate captain's wailing and emphasized once more.
"I'm going there to deal with so rule-breakers!"
"So cool! That's amazing!!"
"Let's set out, Big Sis!!!"
"We will follow you wherever you go!!!"
Erza's sharp spirit instantly conquered all the pirates.
This group of n, who lived by the blade, admired the strong above all else.
Erza nodded in satisfaction and waved a hand with an overbearing air.
"Depart!!!"
The pirate ship was several tis faster than their previous small boat. It cut through the waves and soon approached Galuna Island.
A surge of powerful magical energy ca from the direction of the island, catching the attention of Ron and Erza.
Ron rose with the wind, flying to the top of the mast to look into the distance.
On the island's beach, Lucy was being pursued by a giant rock golem.
Looking at the endless seawater before her, an idea struck her. She waved her gold key and touched the surface of the water.
"Open, Gate of the Water Bearer, Aquarius!"
A rmaid with long aquatic blue hair and eyes erged from the water.
"That woman is the enemy. You don't like that kind of woman either, do you?"
Lucy pointed at Sherry on top of the rock golem's head. "Get her!"
Aquarius gave an extrely disgusted "Tch," causing Lucy to exclaim that her attitude was as bad as ever.
"Doll Play, Puppet Manipulation Magic!!!"
Looking at Aquarius, whom she was now controlling, Sherry gave Lucy a smug smile.
"Ah-ha-ha! Your Celestial Spirit is quite good, but now she's mine."
"Aquarius, kill the woman next to you!"
"I'd do that even if you didn't tell to! Ah—!"
With a roar from Aquarius, countless streams of water erupted from the urn in her arms, instantly turning into a towering tsunami dozens of ters high that swept across the entire beach!
The tsunami swallowed the whole beach in an instant. Both Lucy and Sherry were swept into the violent torrent.
"Hmph, what's all this about forced closure? When I want to close, can't I just close by myself?"
"I-di-ot—"
Aquarius's figure gradually faded away on the surface of the sea.
When the tsunami receded, only the disheveled Lucy and Sherry remained on the beach, both dazed from the impact. The rock golem stood still because its controller had lost focus.
"Aquarius doesn't distinguish between friend and foe; she'll sweep everyone into the giant waves."
"I was really careless just now, but... the rock golem hasn't been defeated yet!"
"So what? Your doll only moves when it's being controlled. There's no need to defeat it at all."
"As long as I make you dizzy, that's enough. This is the strength of a Fairy Tail Wizard!"
The two girls, both lightheaded, eventually devolved into a primal, pure brawl.
Relying on the resistance she'd built up from years of 'enjoying' Aquarius's surfing treatnt, Lucy gradually gained the upper hand in the fight and successfully knocked Sherry down with a beautiful elbow strike.
"How's that? I am a Wizard of Fairy Tail."
Lucy knelt on the ground, panting, with the joy of victory on her face.
Just as Lucy thought it was all over, she heard a "Chuu" sound from behind.
A large blue rat leaped high into the air and pounced straight at her.
"What? Is this thing not a doll?!"
