Nashi's POV:

When Kaito walked into the guild hall it was like the first time I saw him, so mysterious yet so familiar. I waved at him and he walked over to the table where Leilah, Sky, Rosebud and Hiroki sat.

"Ready for the mission!?" I asked excitedly while jumping up from the table.

"Aye!" Sky piped in as she flew above me with a huge smile.

Tomo ran up to us with a piece of paper in his hand. "I have a job for us!" He smiled and sat next to Rosebud.

"What is it?" Leilah asked as her brother.

"Well, all we have to do is investigate a 'rumbling' and get this! WE GET 10 000 000J!!!" Our jaws dropped and I got nervous. Something didn't feel right with this job.

"It must be a really hard job if we get 10 000 000J! I don't think we should do it." I said nervously.

"Oh come on! How hard can it be!? There's 6 of us, we can do it!" Tomo convinced me and I was almost excited.

"Ready?" Kaito asked with a smile as he held out his hand. I grabbed it and intertwined our fingers. I waved goodbye to everyone as I left the guild hall. My dad ran out of it and came up to Kaito and I.

"I wanted to give you a proper goodbye!" He exclaimed as he grabbed me for a hug.

"Goodbye dad, see you soon." I smiled and ran to catch up with the group as my mom and dad stood in the door waving. We continued to the train station where we got on a train headed to where the people were having trouble. I was feeling sick as usual so I rested my head on Kaito's shoulder.

"It's okay!" Kaito smiled as he placed his arm around my shoulders as I heard snickering coming from across from us. Sky cuddled up in my lap and I fell asleep.

"Guys wake up!" I heard Hiroki yell, shaking me until I woke up.

"Hmm?" I slowly opened my eyes to find that the train stopped. I looked up and saw Rosebud holding hands with Tomo as they both slept as well. Soon we were all out of the train station and were strolling down the main street.

"Hey, uh...Hiroki and I are going to go find a hotel, we're pretty tierd...you guys continue on." Leilah smiled and I raised my eyebrows.

"Okay, see you later I guess." Tomo stated as we continued to walk around.

"You guys wanna grab some food?" Tomo asked and I nodded.

Leilah's POV:

As we slowly walked away from the group a tiny smirk had appeared on my face. When the others were out of sight I grabbed Hiroki's hand. "You ready?" He smiled back and nodded his head. We ran as fast as we could out of the town and to a huge grassy Hill where we both collapsed on the ground. I breathed in the beautiful scent of summer.

"Isn't it beautiful?" Hiroki asked as he looked mesmerized by the beautiful blue sky like he had never seen one before. I stood up and he did the same I looked at the town with a new perspective. I was always distant, the loner type. But Nashi and Hiroki changed all of that, I couldn't imagine life without them. I felt a tapping on my shoulder and I turned around to see that Hiroki had a tiny daisy in his hand. He brushed my dark blue hair out of my face and placed the flower behind my ear. I looked up and my eyes met his. "Hey Leilah?" Hiroki asked softly.

"Yeah?"

"Are you a magician? Because when I look at you everyone else disappears." Hiroki smirked as I began to laugh.

"You and your pickup lines!" I chuckled as I put my arms around his neck.

Kaito's POV:

After we finished our lunch Rosebud and Tomo decided to wonder on their own leaving Nashi, Sky and I to meet with the town Mayor who sent out the request. We walked together, the sun was shining down and the breeze was perfect. It seemed like nothing could go wrong. When we got to the mayor's office he looked really worried.

"Thank goodness you're here! You're from Fairytail right?" The Mayor asked nervously.

"Yes we are!" Nashi exclaimed proudly.

"B-but y-you're just children!" I rolled my eyes.

"Trust me Mayor, we can handle it." I stated confidently.

"Well, we've been experiencing some...uh...noises...rumbling really. This has been going on for a very long time and we need this to stop! It's causing our people to panic, and move away." The Mayor explained. He explained further and before I knew it we were getting ready to go to the mission. We met up with the others and started to walk towards where the man said the noise was.

"So, did you guys have a good rest?" I asked Leilah and Hiroki who looked immensely confused.

"What?--Oh! Uh...yeah! Great sleep!" Leilah exclaimed.

"A-absolutely! Best sleep ever!" Hiroki  chimed in. I was going to question their dodgy response when we heard it. It was a huge rumbling that shook the ground. It was coming from a mountain near where we were.

"There!" I yelled as we all began to run towards the sound. I could tell from the look on Nashi's face that she was getting fired up. Her scarf was flapping as she ran and her hair was doing the same. Sky was flying above us as we neared a giant opening in the mountain, we slowed down.

"See anything up there?" Nashi called to Sky and she shook her head. "Then I guess we have to go in." I stated as we all shuffled quietly into the cave. We could hear our footsteps echoing in the cave as we walked further and further from our exit.

"Do you guys hear anything?" Kaito whispered to us.

"No." Tomo replied.

"I don't like this, it's scary!" Sky said nervously.

"If you don't want to stay you can go out and wait for us at the door...you'll be our escape plan! We'll be out soon." Nashi whispered and Sky nodded as she flew at top speed out of the cave. We reached a huge opening, we couldn't see anything so Nashi lit her fist it fire as a torch and the huge open space lit up. It was a big opening the size of 2 football fields and it had a pile of various straws and grasses in the middle, almost like a nest.

"What do you think made this? It couldn't be a Vulcan..." Tomo inquired but instantly his face went pale and his eyes bulged.

"What's wrong?" I asked him.

"We need to get out of here NOW!" Tomo was hyperventilating as he grabbed Rosebud and Leilah's hands and started fast walking to the opening that we came out of.

"What's wrong!? What are we dealing with!?" I frantically asked him as we all ran to the exit but I could feel footsteps shaking the ground. We hadn't made it to the opening yet and were still in the huge space when I heard Tomo finally speak.

"I know what it is! I know what lives here!" He explained.

"What is it?..." I asked but before Tomo said anything my question was answered. A giant roar came echoing through the space. An almost defining sound making all of us stop in our tracks and cover our ears. I turned around and my jaw slacked, my eyes widened and I was instantly filled with fear. What stood in front of us chilled me to the core. "A-a DRAGON!"
