chapter eight
"What, Erigor wants to use Lullaby on the guild masters?" Lucy asked, shocked from hearing the plan.
"Oh, we have to stop him!" Ash yelled,
"That's easier said than done. Erigor cut off our only means of reaching Clover, and is headed there by air." Erza said,
"I'm pretty sure that we could catch up to him on the magic-mobile. But we can't do anything until we figure out how to get on the other side of this barrier." Gray said,
"How are we gonna do that?" Lucy asked, as Liz tried to break through the barrier, but failed to do so.
"See, that's what happens when you try to bust through." Gray said, and Liz groaned.
She tried to break the barrier, again, "I've gotta break through! We have to save Makarov!" She was thrown back again.
"Onee-chan, stop, you fool!" Ashtyn yelled at his sister.
"Cut it out, you idiot." Gray said, "obviously brute force isn't gonna do you any good.
She stood up, and jumped at the barrier again, trying to go through it.
"I don't care! I'm going to get through!"
"Stop trying to be the hero!" Lucy yelled, "you're gonna get torn to shreds!"
"Damnit, I don't know what to do." Erza said,
"Stop it!" Gray yelled at him, and he continued. "I said stop it!" He wrapped his arms around her waist. "I don't need you dying, not today. Not from your own stupidity."
"Crap." Liz muttered, and fell limp in his arms.
"What? What's the matter?" Gray asked, making sure she's okay.
"That stupid barrier drained my magic energy." She admitted, and put her arm over Gray's shoulder, using him for support.
Natsu glanced at Lucy. "Ah! We could use your spirits!" He walked to her. "Back at Everlue's, I was pulled from one place to another through the spirit world."
"Well, yeah, but normal people would suffocate to death if they tried that. It's hard to breath in there world. Besides, a celestial wizard can only open a gate from wherever they're standing." Lucy said,
"Huh?" Natsu rose an eyebrow, confused.
"Let me simply this for you: even if we could pass through the spirit world, we would need a celestial wizard to open a gate outside the train station for us to pass through."
"You're totally confusing me, just hurry up and do it."
"Oh, brother." Ash sighed,
"But I told you, I can't! Not to mention, the very act of a human entering the spirit world is a serious breech of contract. I didn't care when you did it because it wasn't my key, it was Everlue's."
"I don't get your magic at all." Natsu sighed, and Happy screamed, scarring them all.
"I just remembered, Lucy." He skipped up to her.
