"Okay, we made it to Hargeon before gramps could get us." Natsu said, while sighing in relief that they managed to get away before Makarov could come after them.
"He's gonna smash us once we get back." Stated Happy.
"You worry too much. Now come on, we just need to find a boat—"
"Hi Natsu." Cana said.
"Hi Cana. Now we have to find a boat and—" Natsu immediately cut himself off, before looking over his shoulder to see both Gray and Cana standing behind him, the former of whom looked angry at being here.
"Cana! Stripper! When did you get here?!" Shouted Natsu at how quickly they caught up to him.
"Not important, what's important is you idiots took an S-Class job and Master Makarov sent us to bring you both back." Cana said, while crossing her arms under her bust.
"Let's go, dumbass." Gray said as he reached to grab Natsu and drag him back to the guild.
Though this stunt did show Gray that Natsu was still the idiotic flame brain he's always been, even with the reveal of what he really is. That didn't mean Gray could just forget that Natsu was an Etherious, but for now he'll see if Natsu is still a normal idiot or a monster.
Natsu prepared to protest, only to go still when sensed a familiar magic signature.
"Oh no." Natsu muttered, before turning around to find Ruby standing there with a nervous Lucy next to her.
"Crap." Whispered Gray.
"Woah." Cana said in shock at seeing the Erza look-a-like.
"Uh, hello there." Lucy said with a wave, while smiling nervously as she sensed the tension in the air, but didn't know what it was for.
"Hey. Uh, Gray, Natsu, do either of you wanna tell me who the redhead is and why she looks like Erza?" Cana asked.
"That's…" Gray started, only to stop when Ruby glared at him, Natsu, and Happy.
"One word, and you're fucking dead." Ruby mouthed to them, when Lucy and Cana weren't looking.
"… Erza's sister." Gray said with a gulp, now feeling terrified of Ruby, even more so than Erza.
Especially since she can use Ice Dragon Slayer Magic, meaning any attacks he'd throw at her would just make her stronger.
"Erza's sister?!" Cana asked in shock at learning Erza had a sister, a twin sister given they looked exactly the same, minus the clothes and eye color.
"What're you doing here and who's that?" Natsu asked with a serious expression on his face.
"This is Lucy, a Celestial Spirit Mage, and we are going on a mission to Galuna Island." Ruby said.
"Hey, that's the same job we took Natsu." Said Happy.
"Yeah, and now it's the job you'll return once we get back to the guild." Gray said, while wanting to get as far away from Ruby as possible.
"We could do that, or we could— KIDNEY PUNCH!" Natsu suddenly shouted, while punching Gray in the stomach hard enough to knock him out.
"Really Natsu?" Cana asked, while letting out a sigh.
"Come on Cana, this our chance to show we have what it takes to be S-Class. It was even the easiest one we took, so it'll be a piece of cake." Natsu said.
That made Cana consider going, since the chance to become S-Class more quickly means a quicker chance to finally reveal herself to her father, Gildarts Clive. Plus, if this girl, Ruby, was going on the mission as well then she was also curious to learn more about Erza's apparent sister.
"Fine, but I'm still putting the blame on you if things go south." Cana said.
"Great, let's go!" Natsu, while picking up Gray and preparing to run to the harbor.
Ruby glared after Natsu, she didn't like that she was going to have to deal with an Etherious for an unknown amount of time. But she'll deal with it for now, it'll just be an incentive to finish the mission quickly, so she didn't have to deal with the creature longer than she had to.
Ruby groaned miserably from onboard the ship taking her, Lucy, Natsu, Happy, Gray, and Cana to Galuna.
The ship's captain, Bobo, had told them of what's been happening on Galuna, but she only heard about half of what he said since her motion sickness in full affect. She was lying in a fetal position, her skin pale, and a cold sweat covering her. She couldn't even pass out; the pain was too much and kept her conscious the entire time. She usually has a good hold of her motion sickness if the transportation is stationary, but being on a boat for who knows how long, was agony for the Dragon Slayer, even worse than the torture/training Acnologia put her through. Natsu was in the same predicament, but not as bad as Ruby, given the stronger the Dragon Slayer was the worse the motion sickness.
Must be a Dragon Slayer thing. The now conscious Gray thought, as he winced at the condition that Ruby is currently in.
Thankfully though, they soon arrived at the island, with Ruby and Natsu eagerly getting off the boat.
Both Dragon Slayers immediately fell to their hands and knees as they kissed the ground, relieved to be off the boat, much to everyone's amusement and embarrassment. Normally Ruby wouldn't something like this, let alone when others could see her, but she was too relieved and happy to be off the boat to care.
Once that was finished, the group made their way to the village, soon arriving at the gates.
"Who goes there?!" Came a voice.
"The Wandering Mages that took up the request you had!" Ruby said.
"Who is your companion? Your reply said there was only one mage?"
"This is Lucy, my temporary companion. I met her when I was on my way here." Said Ruby.
"And what about the other three and the cat?"
"We're Guild Mages! Our reply must have gotten lost in the mail!" Gray said, given that they're already here and are stuck doing the job now.
Soon the gates opened, and they entered the village. Immediately, Ruby looked at the villagers and sensed their Ethernano was demonic in nature. The only thing that stayed her hand was that they didn't have the same feel as Zeref's demons and they were her clients.
"I must thank you all for accept our job request." Moka, the village chief, said while bowing to them.
"And what is the job exactly?" Asked Ruby as she crossed her arms, since the flier didn't give a lot of details.
"The job is not a simple one and very difficult, perhaps impossible to complete. Our request, is for you to destroy the moon." Moka said.
The mages looked at Moka in shock at what he was asking of them, even Ruby was shocked and wondered just what hell she got herself into.
