Trash: A Collection of Stories

Chapter 15

"So this is the place," I said once we arrived.

"My stomach is trying to kill me.." Natsu groaned, trying to keep balance. I rolled my eyes and looked out over the valley. There was a giant hole right in the middle of the grass.

"This is where they are hiding," Gray looked at the map we were given. We were contacted by the mayor of the city a few miles from where we are. He said that a dark guild was here, and they were causing trouble to the citizens.

"I'm dying.." Natsu whined.

"The wagon ride was only five minutes long, how are you so sick?" Juvia asked.

"Mnnnnnn."

"I bet as soon as we are down there you will feel better," I said, walking towards the hole. I looked down and there were two tunnels at the bottom. "You ready?"

Juvia grabbed my hand and nodded. We jumped in together and landed pretty gracefully. The other two, not so much. Natsu landed on top of Gray.

"You idiot!" Gray barked at him.

"It's not my fault, you got in my way."

"Cut it out, we have to get moving," I let go of Juvia's hand and went over to one of the tunnel entrances.

"Psh, keep your distance," Gray moved away from Natsu.

"I can't see that far into the hallway," Juvia called from the other entrance.

"Same over here. Which way should-" the ground started rumbling. "What is this?!" A wall started coming out of the ground, and the hole was being closed.

"Lucy!" Juvia yelled, running to the wall, but it was too late. With a loud crash, the wall was up and the roof sealed us in. Our only source of light were a few torches on the wall.

"What the heck just happened?" Natsu and I were the only ones on this side. I couldn't hear anything from them.

"We have to hurry, I think if we beat these guys we will be free," I ran down the tunnel.

"Hey, wait up!" The hall seemed like it never would end, but then there was a light.

"I see the end," I called back. We skidded into another cylinder room like the last one.

"Ahh, so you did come," there was a girl.. Dressed up as a baby? The tunnel was closed off and there was no turning back now.

"Look, there are four large cribs," Natsu pointed out.

"That's right," a guy dress in a bear suit fell from above.

"What the heck is this??" I was so confused.

"We are the dark guild, Child's Play."

"Oh, well then I feel sorry for you," I put my hand on my pouch of keys. "Wait.. Natsu, the place is covered in mirrors."

"We love looking at our selves," girl baby said.

"Well this is the last time you'll be able to see yourself," Natsu ran at her.

"I guess it's you and me, miss," the bear was suddenly beside me.

"Whoa," I jumped back.

"Get ready for this!" The guy was about to attack when he stopped at the sound of Natsu yelling my name. I turned around and saw a beam of light bounce off the mirror and right at me. I didn't have enough time to react before I was hit, and engulfed in smoke.

Once it all cleared, I looked down at myself.

"Awah?! IMA BEBE," I cried. Natsu doubled over laughing. "Wah aw you waughing at?! Weo!" I said in a high pitched voice, pulling out his key. He appeared, but also in baby form.

"Wha? Wha ease thease?!" he was stunned.

"Why aw you awso a bebe?"

"I appeaw en thee fowm you aw en. So ef you aw a bebe, I weel be too."

"Weel, attack heem!" I pointed at the bear.

He didn't have as much power as when he was full size and only made a little ball of light that fizzed out.

"Heh, you don't scare me," bear suit laughed, getting ready to attack again.

"Waaaaaaah!" Leo and I hugged each other, closing our eyes. We were scooped up right before we were hit. I opened my eyes and looked up.

"Natsu!!" We both cried with joy.

"You guys sit this one out, they seem pretty easy to take out," he put us in one of the cribs.

"Wha? I ha to hewp," I had to hold onto the side to stand up.

"You won't be much help with the form you are in. I got this." He ran back to the fight. I tried to climb over the side, but it was too tall and I fell onto the bed.

"Wucy, Natsu can handle it," Loke crawled over to me.

I sighed. "Ef I sen you back, weel you be nowmaw agane?"

"No, ewewyone of thee zodiac spiwits aw awso en bebe fowm. Iz no ose."

I hummed and turned back to the fight. Natsu was having fun, he finally brought them down with a wing attack.

"Wooo!" Leo and I cheered when they were out. I waited for the spell to wear off, but it didn't. "Why am I steel a bebe?"

"This may actually be a problem.." Natsu came over and picked me up. Leo returned to the celestial world and the tunnel opened. Natsu carried me back to the first room where the wall was down, but the hole was still closed. Juvia's tunnel was closed off, so all we could do was wait.

Natsu put me down and I crawled around, trying to find a way for us to some how get out of here. The other tunnel finally opened up and Natsu stood. I was in a far corner and struggled trying to get into view.

"Natsu! Where's Lucy?" Juvia asked, running out of the hallway.

"Uhh.. Well.." He scratched the back of his head.

"Juwia!" I stopped crawling and sat.

"Oh my god.." Juvia walked over to me.

"I wa tuwned enno a bebe!" I held my arms out. Gray burst out laughing.

"Don waugh at me!"

Juvia picked me up. "What happened?"

"We were in a room full of mirrors and one of the attacks reflected off it and hit her. We beat the chic, but the spell didn't wear off."

"That's weird, but you are such a cutie!" She squeezed me into a tight hug.

"Youw cwushing me," I wheezed.

"Gray, make us some stairs so we can get out of here," Natsu looked over at the still laughing Gray.

"Oh, this is priceless," he made stair case and we left.

"We will see if master can do something about this when we get back," Juvia said as she carried me to our wagon.
