Natsu: WAIT FOR ME!
Me: Natsu! You ruined it!
Lucy: *scary expression*
Mira: *crying* he ruined the Nalu...
Me: don't worry Mira...*everyone glares at Natsu*
Natsu: *runs away screaming 'I'm sorry'*
Me: ah well, you know the title of this by now, let's start!

Lights escaped from the ground and flew around Mel's body. Mel closed her eyes and was gently lifted off of the ground. Flare widens her eyes in fear and shock.
"How do you-?" Flare gasps/asks. It was like she knew what Mel was doing....what was Mel doing?
"ELEMENTAL GODDESS FORM! MERODĪ!! (Me: Japanese for Melody!)" Melody yells. Her face tilts back and her eyes glow a bright purple. Her werewolf features shrink into her body and clothes seem to grow out of her body. She lands on the ground, on two feet and stares at Flare. She holds her right hand out to the side and a sword manifests. She holds her left arm up in front of her and a shield appears.

"Mel? What is that?" I ask.
"It's an elemental goddess form." Mel replies. "It's the second highest magic level elemental mages can get to. Other magic types have it as well but elemental is the most known."
"What's the highest?" I ask. I know now isn't the time for curiosity but I doubt Flare could withstand Mel when she was in normal form anyway so.... Mel looks back a me.
"I...don't know...." she says. "Now be quiet while I deal with her. I've been waiting for this moment for years..."

Mel moves forward towards Flare, eyes locked on her. Her sword is brandished as her pace increases.
"You can't hurt me!" Flare says, moving backwards. "The police will get you!"
"They weren't here last time." Mel says in a spine shivering tone. "Why would they come now?"
"I'm the daughter of a very rich ma-" Flare starts. Mel raises her left hand and Flare's mouth is kept shut.
"You wanna know something?" Mel says and freezes. Flare's eyes widen and her face goes purple. Is she being choked? I thought Mel couldn't do that.... "I really hate...people." A cloud of dust starts kicking up around the two and all I can hear is Mel swinging her sword, Flare trying to scream and Mel's ranting. "They're selfish! Loud! Obnoxious! Just a bunch of failures and fuck-ups! I mean, look at all they've accomplished! Genocide! Global warming! Reality T.V! (Me: if you get this reference I will love you forever.) not to mention they voted Trump for president of America! How stupid do you have to be to do that?! And a famous person was bitten by a lion because he tried to pet it!! Most of us are just generally idiots and I wonder how most of you survive in this world! And the very few of you who actually have common sense are destroyed by the people who think that being popular keeps you alive! All in all most of you make me question why I still bother with humanity! I mean, look at most of the people I know! They've been brought to their knees by someone they thought they could trust. Lucy by Natsu. Erza by her mum. Juvia by Gray! Cota by his dad! Aurelia by her friends! Jellal by everyone! Gajeel by both his parents! The list goes on! My point is, humanity is a doomed race! And how dare you make me care about them!!!" I shield my eyes just as the dust cloud glows brightly.

Once the light dies I remove my hands. My eyes fly to Mel. She was shaking badly but otherwise, seemed unharmed. Flare was on the floor, dead or alive I couldn't tell. Though her body was bleeding from every natural orifice and dozens of cuts and slashes along her body. The room was dead silent.
"Great..." Mel says. Her sword drops to the floor with a loud clang. It seemed like a thunderstorm in the silence. "Now I'm gonna take a nap right here and question why I still have faith in humanity." Mel falls to the floor.

"Mel!" I rush forward and catch her just before she hits the ground. Her body starts glowing. Her clothes/armour is removed and her werewolf features are returned. She's deathly pale and her limp body seems lifeless. "Mel wake up!" I slap her face. Nothing. I place my head to her chest.

"Come on Mel. We still need to find Lucas."

There! A pulse! Faint but it's there.

I sigh in relief. She'll live. I take one last look at Flare. It'd be wrong to just leave her here...but I'm still angry at her...

No Lucy! This is a human being! She deserves to live her life for as long as possible, despite her previous life choices. I make my way over to her and check for a pulse. It's there. I rip off pieces of her dress and bandage as many of her wounds as I can. I lay her on her side and put her in the recovery position so she can breathe.
"I may not like you Flare." I whisper. "But don't waste this chance I've given you." I make my way back over to Mel, grab her hand and begin dragging her out of the room. I guess it's up to me to find Lucas...

I drag Mel along the balcony. It's harder than it sounds. Especially when her tail keeps getting stuck on the upwards poles of the railing...one time it purposely tangled itself around one and I had to spend several minutes untangling it. I reach the end of the balcony and hear a loud bang. Like a door is opening loudly. In fear, I duck down and roll Mel into the nearest room I can find.
"Put him with the girls." I hear Mayona's voice say. "And get the wolf boy in there too!"
"Yes mistress!" A male voice says. I peer over the edge of the edge of the balcony. Mayona raises her head and sniffs the air. She looks in my direction milliseconds after I hide in the room where Mel is and cover my mouth. My breathing stops and once again my heart hammers in my chest. We need to get out of here. Me, Mel, Lucas and whoever Mayona just brought in.
