Chapter Ten - Finalized Preparations, will the fighting begin?

If you don't have the courage to change things, than you might as well just die!

Porlyusica could sense it. An abundance of magical energy that could only come from one or two people; Natsu and Zeref.

The old woman brushed her pink hair behind her ear and huffed. Though she hated humans, other people, she decided to put up with morons for a few days. The outcome of everything going on; war.

As she was walking by an alley way, Porlyusica's wrist was grabbed and she was tugged into the alley. Instinct kicked in, causing her to kick one of the two "kidnappers", in the chest, and elbow the other one in the face. After this - not even looking at who they were - she grabbed the two's collars and slammed their heads into each other's forehead.

When the two bodies hit the floor, she examined their faces. Surprise was seen in her expression for a brief second, and then it completely vanished, "How dare you try to assault me?"

"We," gasped Gray Fullbuster. "weren't..."

Natsu groaned and twitched on the stone ground, "We were trying to get your attention without anyone noticing..."

Porlyusica glanced behind her at the small crowd gathering to see what was going on.

"Bang up job," she murmured. "let's go somewhere more private."

At a private bar, Porlyusica sat down next to Natsu and Gray.

"I want an explanation from both of you," demanded Porlyusica. "or I will force it out of you."

Natsu cringed, "She's as bad as Erza..."

"What was that?"

"Nothing!" Natsu squeaked.

"We needed to find you...mostly for Natsu's sake." Gray explained.

"Not for my sake...er..." Natsu swallowed. "...for...Zeref's."

Porlyusica's face didn't change, "Yes, continue."

"Wait...you're not...shocked...at all?" Natsu wondered.

"I already knew-"

"Huh!?"

Porlyusica heaved an irritated sigh, "Yes. Throughout the entire year you were gone and the year you were dead, I was researching and speaking to those who had rumors. Besides that, I pieced together the letters: E.N.D. I already figured out the "E" stood for Etherious, and because of researching old papers, I found that the demon END was described with "pink hair". I knew it wasn't me, and then I remembered a certain boy with pink hair and the initials: ND. And then discovered Etherious Natsu Dragneel."

Natsu and Gray stared at her in shock.

"Wow you're way smarter than Gray," Natsu complemented.
