Fairytail X Water Dragon Slayer Child reader

Chapter 94

A/n: Breaking this into a couple chapters. It has bits and pieces from a couple episodes, so I want to make sure to get as much as I can into these.

Y/n's POV

Coco started running around the ravine that she kicked Celestia into while I stayed in the air with Sapphire's support. I flew down, hovering just above Celestia, Carla and Lily. "What do we do?" Celestia asked.

"She's so fast I don't think there's much we can do." Carla answered.

"No way. There's always a way to take someone down." I said.

"I agree with Y/n. We've got to take her down. Even though she's the spitting image of Coco, she's not the same girl we knew back in Edolas. I really should've known better. Stand back, ladies." Lily said.

"You and me then?" I asked, looking at Lily.

"Sure thing." Lily answered. 

"Would you just spill it? I'm running out of patient." Coco said. She was running down a hill before Lily tried punching her. She jumped over Lily as I had Sapphire fly me towards Lily as I tried to punch Coco as well, but she just barely dodged me. "Tell me where I can find her!" Coco demanded.

"Both of you stop! What do you think you're doing?" Carla asked. Coco ran to the other side of the ravine before running up the wall again. "Let me handle this." Celestia said, using her Roar spell. The spell filled the ravine before fading as Coco came running back down the ravine's walls. "No, I missed?" Celestia asked.

"She can even outrun your sky magic?" Carla asked. I sighed as I looked at Coco running around the ravine. "How are we going to get her?" I asked, thinking of ways to attack Coco. As I was thinking about it, a light shone in the sky which I looked at before seeing Coco take off towards the light. "What's going on?" I asked.

"I don't know, but let's find out." Celestia said. We flew over to where the light came from finding mom and Michelle, but we decided to continue searching for the people who attacked us while everyone else returned to the guild. As we were flying around looking, I heard a gasp from Carla before flying over next to her and Celestia. "What's up?" I asked.

"Yeah, is something wrong?" Celestia asked.

"Oh no, it's nothing." Carla answered. I could tell something was off, since she sounded like she was lying about something. After searching for the night, we headed back and rested before setting off in the morning with mom, big sis, dad, Gray and Michelle heading to where mom grew up. "Woah, this place looks kinda familiar." Dad said.

"It's where Lucy grew up." Big sis said.

"Does the family still own it?" Gray asked.

"Well, it looks like someone's been taking great care of it." Happy commented.

"I suppose they want to keep it clean and maintained until a buyer could be found." Carla said.

"Apparently that hasn't been easy. People have checked it out, but no one's offered to buy it." Mom said.

"Makes sense to me." I said.

"Yeah, because no one could afford it." Gray added.

"Such wonderful memories. Your house always reminded me of a beautiful palace from a storybook. I had so much fun being here." Michelle said.

"Wait, you've been here before?" Mom asked. Michelle cried as mom mentioned that and still clearly didn't remember her. "You make clothes?" Celestia asked.

"I never imagined you were the handy type." Big sis commented.

"She used to make the cutest outfits out of paper and flowers." Michelle added. Mom gasped as I looked at her, seeing that it was true. "How would you be able to make clothes out of paper and flowers?" Dad asked. Dad and Gray both thought of something bad before getting kicked by mom and sent flying. "Don't be creepy!" Mom shouted. We headed inside and it was time to get looking for some clues. "Okay, where do you think we should get started?" Celestia asked. 

"Yes, and what type of clues should we be looking for?" Carla asked.

"The first order of business is splitting into teams of two. Each team will take a different area and scour each room from top to bottom. We're looking for old clocks or anything related to clocks. If something reminds you of the inscription, take note of it. Any literature written in ancient Potamelian, anything out of the ordinary. Clues may present themselves in any form, so keep an open mind." Big sis said. Sapphire and I started looking around, not having any luck finding any sort of clue. Eventually mom came and found us before dragging us to the office where her father probably worked. We started working with everyone to see if the title was some kind of anagram before papa came in seeing us on the floor working. "Ugh, how are we supposed to know what to look for, huh?" Dad complained.

"Let's looks for some food." Happy added. Dad stepped on one letter, before looking at us. "Oh, are you guys just playing a game?" Dad asked.

"No, we're not." Celestia answered.

"Please be quiet." Big sis asked.

"We're trying to concentrate." Gray added.

"Is it some kind of puzzle?" Happy asked.

"We're trying to figure out anagrams." Michelle answered.

"Yeah, of course. I totally knew that." Dad said.

"It's basically just a word puzzle." Mom added.

"Sounds like more fun than what I was doing. Can I try?" Dad asked. I watched as I saw dad starte getting ready to sneeze before getting up and away from getting sprayed by his sneeze. Dad sneeze sending all the pages that had letters on them flying. "You just ruined our train of thought!" Carla shouted, holding one page up.

"We were all working so hard on it." Celestia said.

"Whoops, my bad." Dad said. Big sis got super mad before equipping one of her swords and slashing at dad. Dad barely dodged the slash, looking at the sword as he fell. "I was on the verge of a huge breakthrough." Big sis said. 

"Erza looks pretty serious, doesn't she?" Celestia asked.

"She always is when trying to figure something like this out." I answered.

"Yeah, no kidding. Remind to never break her concentration." Gray added.

"I suppose we should start collecting the letters again. Wait... do you see that?" Carla asked. I walked over, seeing the word that Carla had noticed. "The letters before you spell the word 'myth.'" Crux said.

"Yeah." Celestia said. I sighed, kind of looking at the obviousness of the letter and word. "That could be important." Crux added.

"I think he might be onto something." Gray said.

"So, what can we spell with the other letters?" Big sis asked. We worked together and managed to spell "Dou" and "Great" with the remaining letters. "'Dou Great Myth.'" Big sis said.

"Oh, I know! Check it out. There's a pair of books known as the two great myths. Both were written by Will Neville. One was called the 'Life of the Clockwork' and it also just happens to be where the strange inscription comes from." Mom said.

"You have that book in your apartment, right?" Michelle asked.

"Yup, talk about a coincidence. And the other book should be right here. Ta-da! Key of the Starry Heavens!" Mom said, showing us a picture book. 

"Isn't that just a picture book?" Dad asked.

"it's not just a picture book. It's an amazing work of art." Mom said.

"Well, whatever it is, I bet you the word 'key' is pretty important." Gray said. 

"It seems like the perfect place to look for a clue." Big sis said. 

"You guys think it's another anagram? No, probably not. But maybe if we look at it differently..." Mom started. I saw Carla staring at the front cover of the book before gasping. "What's the matter?" Celestia asked.

"I don't know if there'll be anything to do with the clock hand or not, but maybe my dad left some kind of message for me to find inside this book." Mom said.
