Griffon's POV

"What exactly are we dealing with Lucy?" Natsu asked cautiously.

She sighed before answering.

"About that. We're not really sure."

First came the blank stares. You could see the wheels turning behind their eyes.

"You mean to tell us that you have no idea what this 'dark power' is?" Gajeel asked.

"Well, we know that who or, whatever it is, is extremely powerful and has something bad planned for Earthland." I tried to explain.

"As for the 'who or what', we have no idea."

Before I could get any further, Lucy cut me off.

"We can discuss this later. We need to move, now." She said, growing pale.

"What's wrong?" I asked, linking my arm under hers.

"It's close." Said Lucy, grabbing her head and staggering.

"Right. Everyone take one of these. They are teleportation lacrimas that have been set to the coordinates of our destination. When I give the signal, drop them on the ground and crush them beneath your feet. You may feel sick after the jump, but it will pass." I explained, handing out the small white crystals.

"Everyone ready?"

No response came, and I took that as my answer.

"Now!"
