5 ༓ Keep Your Arms And Legs Inside The Vehicle

We then grab a magic mobile to catch up to the train.

Erza strapped herself in to the drivers seat..

Lucy and Happy get inside..

And Gray and I sit on the roof.

After a few minutes, we had finally caught up to the train.

..And we see Natsu flying out the window and he's going to crash straight into us...

Suddenly, i'm pushed out of the way.

I barely manage to hold on to the roof and stop myself falling, but i still hear the loud crash come from beside me.

I look behind to see Natsu and Gray injured on the floor.

What just happened.?

We quickly stop the magic mobile and run back to check on them.

Once they've recovered, Natsu tells us that he was attacked on the train by a group called Einzenwald.

At the mention of the name Erza punches him and begins to yell.

"That's exactly who we're chasing on this mission! How could you let him get away?!"

Natsu also tells us about a flute that the guy had decorated with a three-eyed skull..

Which Lucy recognises as the design as a death magic item that can kill anyone that hears its sound.

We then set off again in the magic mobile chasing after the train.

We are going significantly faster than before and with every bump i feel like i'm going to fly off.

Gray then yells over the crashing of the magic mobile..

"Hey, slow down! You're using up too much of your magic power driving this thing!"

One large bump pretty much throws me off the magic mobile.

But, Gray quickly reached out and grabbed my waist.

Which, yes, did kill me a little bit inside.

"That's it. We gotta get inside this thing" he turns to me and says..

I only silently nod as a response.

Not being able to articulate a whole lot, just focused on the fact that his hand is still on my waist.

And the fact that doing that may get it off.

"If i lower you down, will you be able to climb in?" he suggests.

No!

I'm trying to get his hand off me, not have him hold onto me!

"Then how would you get in? Maybe you should go first" i say as a counter offer.

He pauses for a moment then nods, firmly grabbing my hand for stability.

Which is a quick improvement with the amount of panic going on in my brain.

And he lowers himself into the window on the side.

I go to look over the side, checking he made it in safely..

And i see him poke his arms back out the window and barely hear him when he yells "Jump!"

...

No.

Not a chance in hell.

I bet i could swing myself in there..

That way i wouldn't need him to catch me.

So i yell back "Move out the way!"

And his arms retreat back inside the magic mobile.

I grab hold of the edge of the roof and, with a deep breath, i throw myself over the edge.

Turning in the air, i'm about to go through the window..

"What did you sa-"

Then Gray sticks his head out.

Even though i tried to move out of the way at the last second, i somehow manage to land in the magic mobile.

..Does it technically count as landing if i crashed onto the floor?

After taking a second to adjust, i realise..

I landed on top of gray.

And, of course, his face landed directly between my-

Doesn't matter!

Doesn't matter.

I grab Gray by his collar, quickly pulling us both up.

Before pushing him into his seat and taking the seat opposite.

I see Lucy watching the situation with an awkward face..

Gray just staring forward, not a readable emotion on his face.

I would glare at Lucy but i don't think i can look at anyone right now.

Needless to say, i was silent for the rest of the ride...
