Asuna's POV

"Whoa what happened here...?" Lucy commented as we walked towards the rest of our comrades.

"I could say the same thing." I added in slight surprise.

"Lucy! Asuna!" Lisanna beamed.

"Are you alone?" Elfman asked us.

"Yeah...it's a long story." Lucy answered and I sighed while running a hand through my ombre hair.

"We keep meeting and getting separated..." Lucy mumbled sadly, making me to soften my eyes at her. Suddenly , I noticed to see Lucy wided her eyes in shock about something in her thoughts.

"Lucy?' I asked softly.

"What's the matter?" Lisanna asked who was in her cat form.

"Nothing..." Lucy answered softly.

"I know you're lying Lucy... but if it's something that you really don't want to talk about, then I won't push it any further." I smiled.

"T-Thanks... and sorry." she muttered.

"It's no problem at all... oh yeah! We forgot to tell you guys something." I said while crossing my arms over my chest.

"Gajeel, Levy and Juvia are... taking ingredients for Laxus and the others' medicine to Porlyusica." Lucy added in. "Gray's gotten some sort of crazy new powers.And Natsu... er, well... how should I explain this... If I were to say that the one fighting now in mid-air with Acnologia were to be...the one person Natsu's been looking for all this time, Igneel...."

"Where'd he even came from?" Elfman asked.

"Uh, well... "

"Let's just say from his belly." I said expressionless.

"Well, if he's on Natsu's side, then he's on our side too, right?" Warren asked.

"He's fighting with Acnologia toe-to-toe isn't he?" Jet implied.

"We still have some hope!" Droy exclaimed.

"Are you telling me that you lost some hope , while we were gone?" I asked sternly, making him to flinch back. I gave out a sigh before looking up at the sky.

"Face still remains." A familiar soft voice chimed.

"Wendy?!" Lucy.

"I'm glad that you two are safe!" I cried.

"Carla... and you... aren't you from the Magic Council?" Lisanna asked and I raised an eyebrow.

'Mest?! He's back from the job that he was assigned from Master Makarov? I wondered what happened while I was still gone....' I thought in amusement.

Without knowing my surroundings, I caught him staring at me which made me nervous. Sheesh. "H-Hi? You must be Mest right?"

"Hi? And I am. Nice too meet you ...?"

"Asuna. Asuna Adara."

"Cynthia's ... -"

"Nevermind that, what the hell happened to your hair?!" Warren, Jet and Droy shouted in unison, cutting him off.

"Right now, we have the more important matter of doing something about the huge number of faces if we don't..."

"W-What are you talking about?!" I asked in worry, leaving out the formalities later to Mest. Right now we have bigger problems.
