Sunlight [Sting Eucliffe]

Chapter 29 ☆彡

I heard Lucy scream, and I opened my eyes. What is this?! I looked around confused, why were the guards crowding us? Where were we? Natsu was screaming in pain, and his fire disappeared, and so did Gray's ice magic. "L-Lucy?!" I yelled as she was getting hand cuffed. What the hell?!

"Yukino!" I shouted, the silver haired girl in an outfit simliar to the guards, but she was getting taken away. "The Grand Magic Games is a system to a small amount of magic power from the wizards and send it to Eclipse." A small, old man said. My eyes widened. I slowly stood up, and Wendy gasped at me. "Nikko... Your hair." She mumbled, I looked at her confused. "It's longer." I grabbed my hair, and it was true. It was longer, and it was darker. My hair was a light brown and it was cut to my chest, but now it was a dark brown, almost black, and it was almost to my knees.

"Who are you?!" A guard yelled. "Propechy..." The small man mumbled. "The Dragon Age." He walked over to me, Natsu still screamed in pain, and I was about to run over to him. "Stay still, and we won't suck up all of your friend's magic." Small man said, and I gulped, standing still. Natsu's screams stopped, and they took Lucy. "Lucy!" I yelled. "STAY!" He yelled. "Who are you?" He asked me agian, "Nikko Cielo." I told him, and he looked at me weirdly. "S-Sir! Is she really from the Propechy?!" A guard asked. "What are yu talking about?!" I yelled.

"Take her too!" The old man yelled, and I yelped as many men grabbed both of my arms, and dragged me to he direction they took Lucy. "Nikko-san!" Wendy yelled. Natsu was unconsious, and everything was a diaster. "Don't cause a fuss." The old man said as I was dragged passed him. I glared at him, they quickly took me to an unknown room. "Let me go!" I yelled, gaining my own feet. "In here." A man said, and he pushed me in a cell, locking it. I landed on my ass, and Lucy rushed to me. "Nikko, are you okay?" SHe whispered, and I nodded. "We have to get out of here." I whispered to her, staring at the Yukino girl.

Third Person POV

"Lucy and Nikko were captured by the royal army?!" Erza asked, everyone was crowding their Master who was on a bar table, the Fairy Tail Guild Master sighed, stroking his beard. "So they involved her in a plan we know nothing about..." He mumbled, referring to Lucy. "And they're calling Nikko a prophecy?" Laxus took a deep breathe. "In other words what? if we don't win the Grand Magic Games, then we won't get the girls back?" Laxus, the grandson of the Guild Master asked. "Although I don't know if we can trust that either." Gray spoke. "Nikko-chan... Lucy..." Juvia trailed off.

"WHO GIVES A CRAP ABOUT THAT?!?!" Natsu screams, tied to a woodened pole. Happy flew by him, "I'm going to rescue Lucy and Nikko right now!" He yelled, fumbling with the rope. Wendy nods weakly, nervous sweat coming out.

"Please calm down, Natsu." Carla sighed, an irk mark on her forehead. "You're opponent is the kingdom." Happy advised him, and he calmed down a little. "Master," Erza walked closer to the small man. "We can't act recklessly against the kingdom." Master thought, and a door slam caught Fairy Tail's attention.

"Nikko was captured by the kingdom?!" He yelled, out of breathe. His usual outfit was out of order. Instead of an undershirt under his vest, he wore nothing, seeing as he dressed the quickest he could. "As I was saying... But they can't treat their citizens too shabbily either." Master continued. "Can someone explain to me?! My girlfriend is captured, and my partner is kidnapped!" Sting yelled, enraged. "Sit down child." Makarov said, and Sting grew even more pissed.

"You expect me to sit when my girlfriend is kidnapped by the kingdom?!" Sting screamed. "Think rationally!" Erza yelled, and Sting sat down immediantly. Makarov took a deep sigh, "Maybe we could think of the two as a hostage who will be be kept until Project Eclipse is either over or canclled." He uttered, "Ha. Pain in the ass." Laxus complained, his lightning sparking. Although he said that, he was pissed that he took not one, but two guild members.

"But that doesn't make sense." Gajeel said, "Why would they let the rest of us go when we heard the same state secrets?" Gray agreed wth the Iron Dragon Slayer. They had released three people, and three cats. But they took another three people in exchange. Nikko was knocked out, so she didn't know the 'secret', so why was she involved? "It's got nothing to do with not making sense!" Natsu snorted.

"It's also possible we've been released as witnesses to eventually help convict Arcadios." Lily pointed out, "Nande?" Happy asked. It was unknown to everyone, you blue cat... "When there's the danger of a top secret information spreading..." Carla trailed off, and Erza glared at the ground. "Maybe they decided it can't be hidden any longer." She finished.

"If they captured the rest of us, we wouldn't be able to leak info, right?" Gray questioned. Sting sighed, was he the only smart one out of his group? "They want us." The blonde dragon slayer said, "The kingdom wants us to leak the information about this Eclipse thing." Mirajane nodded. "It makes sense, but I don't think the kingdom would want to make an enemy out of a wizard guild." Juvia said, "So it could be on purpose, or to protect themselves." Erza conculded. "To us, Lucy and Nikko has both been taken captive, but it isn't a breach of the royal army's sense of justice." Mira said.

Nastu grinned his teeth, and made a rampage, breaking loose of the ropes. "Enough jawin'! I'm gonna rescueboth of 'em!" He yelled, and Sting stood up. "I'm with you Natsu-san." Sting smirked, about ready to leave... Master's hand stretched, and punched Natsu so he was taken down. "Do you need a beating too, son?" Master asked irritated, and Sting shook his head, sitting down once more. "Stifle it!" He yelled to Natsu who was groaning and moaning in pain.

"Squished..." Natsu croacked out. "This ain't a festival where the whole family gets captured." Master said calmly, his eyes closed. "And Sting, you count as family also." Sting looked at the Fairy Tail members in shock. Is this what a family was like? Protecting eahc and everyone of their family members, no matter what the cost was. "We all feel the same way." The Master glared, looking at each and every single one of his children, determination in his eyes. "This time, just charging ahead without thinking won't do. Still, we are no cowards who're gonna take it lying down either...." Everyone nodded, and Natsu squaded down, glaring.

"We're Fairy Tail! No matter what insignia is on you, if you're considered a family member, then you are!"
