"Natsu!" I called and raced to the opening of the cave. But I couldn't see him.

"Woman! Woman!" The Vulcan continued to chant.

"That's it you giant pain in my ass!" I said and grabbed my keys. "Open Gate of the Golden Bull: Taurus!"

"Well helloooo Lucy!" Taurus said as he leaned on his ax. "I almost forgot what a nice figure you have. How about a shooooch?"

"I forgot you were a pervert too." I sighed. "I'm still underage Taurus."

"What I can't compliment my Master's beaooootiful body?" He asked. He had a habit of making cow jokes, since he made himself a bull to match with becoming the Taurus Zodiac. He thought it was hilarious.

"Please just handle him" I begged. Taurus then went to swing at the giant monkey but got kicked in the face instead. "Natsu!" Taurus hit the ground and was out cold. Feels like he had it coming, but now is not the time.

"Wait why is there more monsters than there was before?" Natsu asked as he looked around.

"That wasn't a monster that was one of my spirits!" I yelled at him, as I got in his face.

"Oh. Whoops." Natsu said like it was no big deal. And while I was about keep yelling at him Taurus's ax slammed down in between us. I looked and saw that the Vulcan had grabbed the ax after Taurus was knocked unconscious.

"This isn't going to be good." I said, knowing how powerful that axe can be with the right strength behind it. He went to swing again, this time more focused on me. I got shoved to the side and I fell on the floor. When I looked back Natsu stood where I was with the ax's blade held between his hands.

"Now look here!" Natsu struggled to get out. The ax around Natsu's hands started glowing orange. "Everyone in the Fairy Tail Guild is my friend! Whether it's Mira or Gray! Or even Happy or Lucy!" I couldn't help but flinch. "They're all my friends." The blade started to warp as it melted and Natsu caught the droplets in his mouth.

"He's eating it?" I questioned. I couldn't have imagined that a Celestial weapon would have been able to get damaged like that.

"And that's why I'm not leaving here without Macao!" Natsu yelled before spitting the metal droplets in the Vulcans face which made him drop the ax before he pulled his arm back. "Fire Dragon: Iron Fist!" He yelled as he sent the Vulcan back into the wall unconscious.

"Didn't we kind of need him to tell us where Macao is?" I asked Natsu as we both stood in front of the sleeping giant.

"Oh yeah." Natsu said as he scratched the back of his head. But before either of us could do anything else the Vulcans body started glowing and shrinking. After a moment the light faded and there laid a man.

"Macao!" Happy exclaimed. "He must have been taken over by a Vulcan."

"What do you mean taken over?" I asked him.

"A Vulcan must have used a possession spell and taken over Macao's body." Happy said and when we looked his eyes were dull again as he told us the information we needed to know about Vulcans.

'So, AI's have the power to take over a players body?'

"They're known for being body snatchers." Happy said before his eyes went back to normal. "But it looks like he gave up a good fight before it got to him." Then there was a loud thud from behind us and when we looked there was a chest.

'The quests reward.'

I thought, but when I looked back at Macao, I saw that he had a lot of wounds. I quickly opened my menu and went to my inventory where I grabbed a blanket and a first aid-kit and got to work patching up Macao. After a little while he still wasn't waking up.

"Macao come on!" Natsu yelled at him. "Romeo's waiting for you back at home! So come on and get up!" And with that Macao's eyes started to open.

"Natsu?" He questioned and he slowly sat up. "You came for me?"

"Well of course we did! Romeo was worried about you." Natsu told him. But Macao dropped his head.

"How am I going to face him now?" Macao asked. "Knowing that I couldn't beat the whole quest."

"What was the quest?" I asked him.

"I had to defeat twenty Vulcans." He told me. "I was able to beat the first nineteen, but that last one. That last one was a big boss."

"Hey." Natsu said getting Macao's attention. "Who cares if you didn't complete the quest by yourself. What's important is that you're still okay. And I can tell you right now that's all Romeo is going to care about. Because he would rather have a father than not." Natsu stood up and held his hand out. "Now get up, your little boy is waiting for you." Macao took his hand and stood up.

'What the hell is happening? He defeated nineteen of those things all by himself.'

"I want to share the reward with the three of you." Macao said.

"No that's not necessary." I told him.

"Hell yeah." Natsu said as him and Happy did a stupid little dance together.

"Please I insist." Macao said as he walked over to the chest to collect the reward.

"Really, I didn't even do anything to help." I told him.

"But you still came for me." He said as he handed Natsu some of the reward. "At least let me repay you for the first aids." He offered and I knew I wasn't going to be able to win this.

"Alright." I told him. "I'm Lucy, by the way." And Macao froze.

"Lucy?" He asked. "Lucy Heartfilia?"
