Dragons & Demons & Wizards, oh my!

Strength

Erza had heard enough, 'nobody talks to my friend that way,' she thought loudly to herself. Erza pushed passed the nearby onlookers and rushed into the center of the room, re-quipping her sword in the process.

"How dare you speak to Lucy like that! You'll have to answer to me now!" Erza roared at the two blue haired men. Erza summoned the same intimidating presence she would use when dealing with Gray and Natsu, how different could these two old men be?

A 'thud' could be faintly heard in the royal court as Lucy and Happy both slammed their palms into their foreheads in synchronized frustration. They both wished they could have warned Erza before she did anything rash. No matter how intimidating she may be, the great Titania was no match for a dragon. The two blue haired men just stared with utter confusion at the knight.

"Ummmm...your majesty...who the hell is this?" Bahoz asked without a hint of fear in his voice. If anything he was more curious than frightened.

Bayu, unfortunately was more annoyed than anything else, "Is this a human...threatening a dragon!?" he laughed loudly, before stepping up to confront Erza who still had her sword drawn. Bayu grabbed the blade with his bare hand and as easily as breaking a twig, snapped Erza's illustrious sword in two.

The color drained from the knight-wizard's face immediately. That's...not possible...just how powerful is this guy? Erza questioned in her mind. Unfortunately, for the now weaponless mage, Bayu wasn't done with his demonstration. He stepped even closer to the knight, his face just inches away. Erza began to feel something entirely new infect her body; her hands began shaking, her stomach sank and suddenly it became very difficult to breath. Is this...what terror feels like? Erza thought in a panic.

"No human could ever compare to a dragon. If I wanted to, I could squash you like a -" Bayu's menacing threat was luckily interrupted.

"You finish that sentence lightning-dolt and you can kiss your precious Uekomi goodbye, got it!?" The Empress interjected.

Erza was shocked when the murderous visage Bayu was displaying vanished in an instant. He softened immediately, his cheeks blushed and sweat formed on his brow. He turned sheepishly back towards his Empress and bowed deeply over and over again, even coming close to kissing the floor.

"Sorry Empress, forgive me Empress!" Bayu whimpered. Erza was left speechless that this all-powerful entity was bowing before her blond Fairy Tail friend like a petulant child.

"Ugh could you two be anymore annoying?" Lucy grunted at the lightning dragons, rubbing her temples in frustration. Erza had seen that look on Lucy's face before, whenever the celestial wizard had to deal with Natsu or Gray's antics. "I gave you a suggestion, and you don't like it, fine! Then tell me what you want," Lucy continued trying to end this business as quickly as possible. I have a daughter I'd like to spend time with, Lucy thought to herself.

"Well...it's not that I don't like it...it's just..." Bayu muttered, as if he was too scared to confess something. "It's just...why does Uncle get it on Saturdays!?" The dragon yelled out embarrassingly.

Lucy's eyes went wide at the confession. She blinked several times trying to wrap her head around his question. "Wait...your problem with my solution...is that you don't have the Uekomi on Saturdays!?" Lucy screamed, flabbergasted at the ridiculousness of his objection. "Bayu...what possible reason could you have for wanting the Uekomi on Saturday specifically...it's not like you have a day job...you don't have anywhere you need to be, you don't do anything! So please enlighten me...why is Saturday important?" Lucy said, trying to calm her rising fury.

"Well, l like to have my tea by the Uekomi on Saturday." Bayu stated very matter of factly, as if it was the most normal thing in the world.

"Why can't you just have your tea by the Uekomi on Fridays..." Lucy retorted with bubbling anger.
