Broken Book 2: Lucy's Return

Chapter 8

So I had planned to post this chapter a few days ago, but the internet is being all wonky where I live. No idea if it's this Covid stuff or if someone just hit a tower or what. Anywho I decided to just retype it on my phone and will be working on another after I post this as an apology for taking so long, and for not backing up my tablet to my phone like a smart person would do. Lol. Anyway, bare with me as I try to type this out on my phone and as always enjoy my loves 😘

"Marco, Right? What are you doing here" Erza asked, tightening her fists in an attempt to remain calm. Marco's smirk grew. "Oh no reason in particular." He sneered. "I just so happened to be passing by and thought I'd stop and say hello to me dear fairy friends. Don't tell me you've forgotten me?" He lifted his arms  in the air preparing for a spell. "Hello" he roared as explosions set off around the guild members again. "That's not how you say hello." Natsu grunted, as he dodged an explosion. "This is how you say hello." His fists ignited and he jumped towards Marco. Erza turned to Levy and Gajeel. "Get that blood to Luke and the master, quickly while he's distracted." Levy and Gajeel nodded and took off with Pantherlily towards the guild. Marco noticed the retreating guild members and attempted to turn his attention to them, but was met with another of Natsu's fiery  punches. "Your battles with me, better not lose focus or you're gonna lose right away." He laughed, landing another hit. "After them!" Marco shouted. A group of men appeared suddenly and headed towards Levy, Gajeel and Pantherlily, but they were cut off by a wall of ice. "Did you forget we're here too?" Gray shouted. Marco clenched his teeth in anger and explosions set off rapidly around Natsu, Gray, and Ezra. "It would appear that he was intending to keep us here, but why? What is his purpose?" Erza  questioned "Whatever it is, I guarantee it ain't nothing good." Gray replied. "You're right, let finish this quickly, and head back to the guild to meet up with the others."

Meanwhile at the guild hall...
The rest of the searching guild members, having failed to turn up anything, had returned to the guildhall to check in and see if anyone else had any luck.
"Quick we must protect Lucy!" Master shouted. The guild members gathered quickly and headed for the door.
"Too late my pretties." A woman with long blonde hair and dark blue eyes blocked the door. "You will never leave this dirty place again." A crazed smile crossed her face as a bright light engulfed her, and a gun appeared in her arms. She began to fire blasts wildly. Bixlow surrounded the woman with his dolls, as a distraction so Elfman and Lisanna could attack from her blind spot. She dodged Elfman easily but was unaware that Lisanna was also attacking and was hit with her cat claws, severely scratching her side. "That's my baby sis! She's a real man!" Elfman shouted as stood recovering from the blast. "Fight all you want you dirty little fairies, but you will not win today." The woman gritted. Meat suddenly appeared next the master. 'Mest my boy what are you doing here?" "This woman is only serving as. Distraction! Lucy's grave is being attacked, we need reinforcements now." "I'll go with you with you." Mira said grabbing Mests shoulder just as he was about to teleport out of the guild, and then just as quickly as he had appeared, he, Mira, and the Master disappeared. "Oh no, now that's not fair. What a pesky little thing. I can't let such a dirty man ruin my fun."
