Wendy

At that moment, a little girl ran in through the entrance.

"Ah!" She tripped and fell flat on the ground.

"Ow, that hurt! Sorry, everyone. I'm the mage sent by Cat Shelter. My name is Wendy. It's a pleasure to meet you all."

"A little girl?" No one had expected Cat Shelter to send such a young girl.

When Natsu heard Wendy's name, he felt like he had heard it somewhere before.

"What's wrong, Natsu?"

"I don't know. I feel like I've seen her somewhere before, but I forgot. Help me think."

"How would I know? How am I supposed to help you remember?!"

Jura calmly said, "All right, now everyone is here."

Looking at Wendy, Sherry said, "Don't you think it's strange? Cat Shelter only sent one person."

Just then, another voice came from the doorway. "Not one person, heavily made-up lady."

A female Happy appeared before them, differing from Happy in both color and gender.

"Charle! You came too!"

"Of course! I couldn't trust you to come here alone."

Happy's eyes lit up as he looked at the little female cat before him, and he tugged on Lucy's pant leg.

"Lucy, hurry and give her my dried fish."

"Happy, you're a grown cat now. You need to learn to take the initiative."

Wendy cautiously said, "Um... I can't use combat magic, but I know lots of support magic, so please don't exclude me!"

Charle said in exasperation, "It's because you always look so timid that people look down on you."

"Sorry... (⋟﹏⋞)"

Erza stepped forward and gently said, "We didn't mean to exclude you. We were just a little surprised."

"Charle! It's Miss Erza herself! She's so pretty!"

"She's gentler than I imagined. She's a good woman."

Happy stepped forward and greeted Charle.

"Do you know me? I'm Happy, the dragon cat."

"Hmph." Charle haughtily tossed her head aside, not wanting to pay Happy any attention at all.

"Lucy, Lucy, look, she's shy. She's so cute."

Lucy helplessly said, "She just doesn't want to talk to you."

"What would Lucy know about a girl's heart?"

At that moment, Hibiki said, "Now that everyone is here, let me explain this operation's plan. But first... let me go smell the toilet fragrance."

Lucy complained, "If you need to use the bathroom, just use the bathroom. Why make it sound so poetic? Those two things don't go together at all."

Before long, Hibiki ran back and continued the previous topic.

"North of here lies the vast Vast Tree Sea. Long ago, an immensely powerful magic was sealed within that forest."

"Its name is Nirvana!"

"Nirvana?"

Lyon said, "I've never heard of that magic."

Sherry asked, "Has Lord Jura heard of it?"

Jura shook his head. "I've never heard of that magic either."

"According to our intelligence, it is an extraordinarily destructive magic. That is why the ancients sealed it away."

"The reason Oración Seis came here must be to obtain this magic."

"And our job is to stop Oración Seis."

Gray complained, "Just talk normally. Do you have to strike that disgusting pose?"

At this moment, Hibiki took out his magical ancient tome and displayed pictures of every member of Oración Seis.

"Though there are only six of them, every one of them is extremely powerful. The one who uses snakes is called Cobra. This one wearing a racing suit is Laser, a mage who uses speed-based magic. Hoteye, who possesses the Heavenly Eye, loves money and would do anything for it. Angel can peer into people's hearts. As for this man, we know very little about him. We only know that he is called Midnight. The last one is their commander and leader, Brain."

"Each of them possesses enough magic power to destroy an entire mage guild, so we must make use of our numerical advantage."

Wendy nervously said, "Um, please don't count me in!"

Lucy also trembled as she chimed in, "And me!"

"Don't worry. The main mission this time is to locate their base."

"Their base?"

"We still don't know their exact location, but there should be a temporary base somewhere in the tree sea. When the time comes, we can use Christina, the pride of our Pegasus, to wipe that base out with a single strike."

Ye complained, "Haven't I heard that before? Hibiki, didn't you say the exact same thing last time?"

"Don't worry about such details. Christina has undergone years of improvements and is already outstanding. This time, it will definitely shine!"

Sherry said, "The Christina you're talking about is the Magic Strike Airship, right?"

"They're humans too. Do we really need to use that thing?"

Jura said, "Our opponents are no ordinary humans. When the time comes, we need to split up into pairs."

Lucy said, "So we still have to fight after all?"

"Oh! I'm fired up! Watch me send all six of them flying!" With that, Natsu ran out by himself.

"Natsu!"

Erza said, "There's really nothing we can do about him. Let's go too."

"We can't let Ye take everyone out by himself this time. We came here to help." With that, Gray ran out as well.

Seeing Gray set off, Lyon said, "We can't lose to those people from Fairy Tail. Let's go too, Sherry."

"Yes, Lord Lyon."

The three members of Blue Pegasus watched as everyone ran out.

"Let's go too."

Wendy panicked. "Aaaah! Why did everyone run off? I'm really not good at fighting. What should I do?"

Lucy walked over to Wendy and said, "It's okay. The strongest one is still here. As long as we follow Ye, we'll be perfectly safe."

Charle looked in the direction Lucy was pointing and asked doubtfully, "Him? He doesn't look like much."

Happy proudly said, "Ye is the strongest mage in our guild."

"Just because he's strong doesn't mean you are. What are you so proud of?" Charle mocked Happy without giving him any face.

Wendy exclaimed, "I think I've heard about him before. The things he did were so shocking that no one was willing to believe them. I hadn't heard of him before either, but recently word spread that Fairy Tail had a young Ten Wizard Saints mage, so a lot of those stories were dug up. I didn't expect Fairy Tail to send so many powerful mages this time."

Lucy said, "Originally, only he was supposed to come, but we're a team, so we shamelessly followed along."

Ye walked over to Jura and said, "Jura, I'll take these few and leave first. You and Hibiki be careful."

"Understood, Lord Ye."

"Lucy! Happy! Wendy! And Charle, it's time to go."

"Ah, thank you, Mr. Ye."

"Aye!"

After Ye walked out, Hibiki suddenly asked Jura, "Mr. Jura, how do you compare to Makarov?"

Jura nervously said, "How could I possibly compare to Chairman Makarov? Though we are both among the Ten Wizard Saints, I am at the very bottom. There's simply no comparison."

A sinister smile appeared at the corner of Hibiki's mouth. "I see."

Suddenly, Jura caught a pungent scent. "What is that smell?!"

"It seems to be a fragrance that can make people lose their will to fight."

Jura looked at Hibiki in shock. "Mr. Hibiki, what is going on?"

"Pfft!" A short sword pierced directly through Jura's abdomen.

"Ugh!" Jura cried out and raised his head to stare at Hibiki in disbelief.

"Bang!" A cloud of smoke suddenly erupted from Hibiki, and he transformed into two tiny doll-like figures.

"Phew, we finally changed back. That mage called Hibiki only has lewd things on his mind."

"What a terrible adult."

"Exactly, exactly!"

Angel said, "All right, stop complaining."

Jura asked with a confused expression, "What is going on?"

"That filthy man? I ambushed him in the bathroom, then copied him. Thanks to him, we learned all of your battle plans."

"The copied person's thoughts!"

"We know them all perfectly well."

The two doll-like figures spoke one sentence each.

"What?!" Jura could not believe it.

"I didn't expect to take out two members of the allied forces so quickly. They don't look like much."

"How about you two? Can you copy that person called Ye?"

"No. There's something terrifying inside his body. We don't dare."

"How useless!" Angel was extremely displeased by the news.

Jura endured the pain and said, "You have no idea how terrifying Lord Ye is. Though we are both at the bottom of the Ten Wizard Saints, I once fought alongside Lord Ye. He is the strongest mage I have ever seen."

After saying that, Jura fainted from excessive blood loss.

"Tch! You're about to die, yet you still have so much nonsense to say. With strength like yours, how many powerful mages could you possibly have seen?"
