Natsu was already at Lucy's side, ready to defend her from whoever it was that strangely knew her mother's name in a whole different world. He felt that eerie magic in the air from earlier right before they got stuck in this maze of a building.

"You may not recognize me, as it is indeed the first time we've faced each other." The voice continues, a figure seen at the entrance of the dark hall before them. "However, I have faced your mother in the past, so I'm quite familiar with your Celestial Spirits."

A tall man, clad in purple, with gold accessories attached and sewn onto the fabric. He's wearing a dramatic gold and shiny croptop under his purple coat and black high heel boots with chains on it. He's practically a humanized version of the crab from Moana.

Natsu hears Team 15 and 5, along with Hinata-san rush everyone to a safer corner of the room. They took Kei with them, too. He hears Iwabe tell them he's putting a wooden barrier to shield them from any possible destruction, Metal and Wasabi placing themselves a ways further from them to defend from any harm coming closer while the others stay close to the barrier, and Hinata-san between the formation. It seems she's keeping an eye on everyone's surroundings.

All the while, human Tamatoa has begun his monologues. And honestly, what the fuck.

Lucy demands, "Who are you, and how do you know my mother?"

"Allow me to introduce myself. They call me Fearsome."

Inojin, "Who the hell is 'they'?"

Cho-Cho, "Fearsome sounds so wrong. It's not giving."

Juvia, "Juvia thinks his name should've been Seashell Man. He looks like one."

Natsu, "YES! HE LOOKS LIKE THE CRAB FROM MOANA!"

Sarada, "*gasp* You're RIGHT!"

Gray, "I can't unsee it now."

Lucy, "GUYS, FOCUS!!! Although yeah, Fearsome isn't giving but whatever. Bad taste comes with a bad skill set. Now answer my question."

Cho-Cho, "Attitude–"

Inojin, "–Now walk off!"

"Ahem! Like I was saying before being VERY much interrupted," Fearsome finally answers, "I've been a long-standing opponent of Layla's since her days in Love&Lucky. She was such a formidable opponent, I lost to her and trained for years to beat her for once. But then I heard she died. Later, I heard she had a daughter, I found out that her daughter is a Fairy Tail wizard. At that time, you were at war with Zeref, so I had almost given up on beating you in place of your mother. Yet here you are alive."

Oh. So he wants a rematch with Lucy's mom, but since she isn't here, he's decided to take it with Lucy instead. That makes sense, but...

"Were you the one who put us in this weird castle?" Natsu asked.

Fearsome nodded once. "Yes, it was me."

"Why separate us and take these people hostage?" Natsu asked again.

Fearsome replied, "That was on the orders of a man by the name Kura Hitomi. As for the Oakridge citizens here, it was for less trouble to keep them in track and to alarm me of when Layla's daughter arrived.

That name. "Kura Hitomi. What's his deal?" He asks again because he's a little stubborn shit.

"If I tell you, will you back off as I bring Layla's daughter to her knees?"

Natsu doesn't like that. "You can fight her, but she won't be defeated."

The man chuckles, "What are you? Her boyfriend?"
