Su Yan Rescue

"Horrible Lucy!" 

"Horrible Miss Lucy!!" 

Lucy spat: "Quit calling me 'horrible'!" 

Natsu patted her shoulder. "Still Lucy, though!" 

"Shut it!" 

The group reached a desolate town, its architecture stark and weathered. Lucy led them to an underground magic black market, arming Natsu and Wendy with basic weapons. Lisanna already carried one gifted by Mira. 

Exhausted, they settled into a café. 

"Aha! So *you* joined Fairy Tail too?!" Natsu teased Lucy. 

"Loud as ever," Lucy grumbled. 

Lisanna leaned toward Su Yan. "How's things with Sister Mira?" 

Su Yan smirked. "Progressing." 

"Two years and no baby? Slacking, Brother Su Yan!" 

He flicked her forehead. "Brat." 

"Found them!!" Soldiers stormed the café. 

"Royal Army?!" Lucy paled. 

Natsu brandished his weapon. "Fire Dragon—!!" 

A feeble spark fizzled out. 

"Magic's limited, idiot!" Lucy hissed. 

"Capture them!" 

"**Om—!**" 

Su Yan's Conqueror's Haki erupted, smashing soldiers into walls. 

Edolas Lucy gaped. "Who *are* you?!" 

"Someone who doesn't need magic."
