Chapter 276: Stopping Coco's Pursuer

Edolas, Edolas Continent, Floating Landmass.

November, x784.

While Natsu and Wendy ran around the Royal Capital evading the pursuit from the Royal Army, and he other girls were infiltrating the Royal Caste, Alfonzo and Gajeel were sitting with their backs against the giant lacrima that housed the town of Magnolia and its population.

"Are we really just going to sit here while the others have fun messing with the Royal Army?" Gajeel asked in an annoyed tone.

Although Gajeel had learned how to use [Magic Power Detection], since it had only been a little less than two months, his detection range was not very vast. So, he was unable to keep track of what was going on in the Royal Capital, leading to him complaining in boredom.

Alfonzo on the other hand was sitting quietly. As the creator of [Magic Power Detection], his range was quite vast. Especially since he had created it when he was only nine years old. Therefore, he could keep track of all his friends' movements in the Royal Capital and the castle.

"Our job is to guard this lacrima so the king can't use the people and town as hostages." Alfonzo said with his eyes closed. "Until something serious happens, we won't move."

"But it's so boring up here." Gajeel complained.

Actually, Alfonzo was not only keeping track of the situation with his [Magic Power Detection], he was also circulating his magic power through his [Soul Weapon Embryo]. And although he was not sure how soon he would be able to bring about its first shift, he knew it would happen soon.

However, Alfonzo's eyes opened abruptly when he felt Lucy's magic power signature hanging outside of one of the castle's towers.

Noticing Alfonzo's change, Gajeel quickly turned his head in Alfonzo's direction with a serious expression on his face.

"What happened?" Gajeel asked.

"Lucy's in trouble." Alfonzo replied with a dark expression on his face. "You stay here. I'll go---"

Before Alfonzo could finish, he felt a pair of familiar magic power signatures flying towards the Royal capital at breakneck speed. And as luck would have it, they were headed straight for Lucy, who was now falling from the top of the tower.

"Never mind." Alfonzo said with a smile gracing his lips. "It looks like the trouble has been taken care of. Besides, we have company to deal with."

Looking in the direction where Alfonzo was facing, Gajeel noticed a large muscular figure with black fur flying towards the landmass.

Edolas, Edolas Continent, Royal Capital.

At the same time, Lucy was falling from the hole the Edolas Erza had created in the wall of the tower.

"Kya~~~~~!" Lucy screamed as she felt herself plummeting towards the ground. "I hate this world~~~~~! Ever since I got here, the only thing I ever seem to be doing is falling from the sky~~~~~!"

As she fell, Lucy could see the ground growing closer. And the closer she got to the ground, the more she panicked. Eventually, when she realized that she could not be saved, she closed her eyes and waited for the inevitable.

"*Swoosh!*

Before hitting the ground and being crushed by the rubble that was falling after her, Lucy felt the back of her shirt was grabbed before her downward momentum stopped and she started flying horizontally.

"Huh?" Lucy exclaimed in confusion. "I'm not dead?"

Looking around, Lucy could see the buildings of the Royal Capital whizzing by at high speed. Then, she finally caught sight of Carla who was flying next to her.

"Carla! You're back!" Lucy exclaimed happily. "Then, that must mean the one carrying me is…"

"That's right, it's Happy." Carla replied with a nod.

Having her suspicions confirmed, Lucy's smile grew wider.

"I'm glad you're back." Lucy said with a smile.

"Yeah… We're glad to be back, too." Hapy said while gripping Lucy's shirt. "But can you tell us where it would be safe to land? You're really heavy, Lucy."

"What did you say, you stupid cat?" Lucy shouted angrily.

Like that, Happy and Lucy continued to bicker while Lucy guided the two returning Exceed to where they could find Natsu and Wendy while preparing to help them deal with the soldiers that were chasing them.

Meanwhile, in an underground area of the castle, Elicia quietly retracted the threads she had released to catch Lucy in case no one else was able to save her.

"*Sigh* Looks like everything is gonna be okay." Elicia said with a smile.

"Yeah, I felt Happy and Carla just now." Marin replied with a smile of her own. "But still, not being able to detect sneak attacks with [Magic Power Detection] is really weird."

"I know." Elicia replied with a nod. "Everyone is gonna have to find a way to do it, though. Hopefully, this will be a wakeup call for everyone."

"Yeah." Marin said in acknowledgement. "You and Fonzie are lucky, though. He can use his EM waves to detect people and you can spread your threads around. I wish I had a spell like that."

"Don't worry, Marin." Elicia said while patting Marin on the shoulder. "I'm sure you'll come up with something. Besides, there are all sorts of [Detection magic] books in the guild's library. Maybe one of them will suit you."

"I hope you're---" Marin began to say.

Before Marin could finish, however, both she and Elicia heard the sound of footsteps fast approaching. But since they were under the effects of Elicia's [Hiding in Plain Sight] spell, they were not worried about being discovered.

After a few minutes, Elicia and Marin noticed a small girl with a distinctively puppy-like appearance running down the corridor they were searching. Carried in the young girl's arms was a large key, nearly as large as the girls' body. And behind the fleeing girl was a tall blond man wearing a light red armor.

"Is that guy wearing pink?" Marin asked quietly after seeing Sugarboy.

"Yeah." Elicia replied. "It takes a lot of confidence for a man to pull that off. But I have to admit, he makes it work."

Marin could only nod in response.

"But I think that girl is carrying the thing we've been searching for." Elicia said, pointing at Coco who was running away from Sugarboy. "Do you think you could do something about the guy chasing her?"

"Yeah, I think I can." Marin replied in an unsure manner.

Although it was mentioned that Sugarboy was chasing Coco, he was not doing it in the conventional sense. Instead of running on the ground, Sugarboy was levitating about a foot (approx.. 30 cm) above it while flying after her at high speed with a large, fan-like- sword on his back with a blade that resembled a rose blooming from its hilt.

"Come on, Coco, just give the key back!" Sugarboy shouted from behind Coco. "I'm sure if you do, His Majesty will forgive you."

"No, His Majesty is gonna use the Anima to turn Lily into a lacrima!" Coco shouted, not looking back as she ran away.

"*Sigh* If you won't give it back on your own, I'll just have to take both of you back to his Majesty by force." Sugarboy replied in a disappointed tone.

A moment later, Sugarboy's speed increased sharply. With his increased speed, Sugarboy closed the distance between himself and Coco. Then, just before he reached her, the stone floor rose up in front of him.

"What?" Sugarboy exclaimed in confusion.

Though he was confused by the change in the corridor, Sugarboy reacted quickly, pulling the sword from his back and slashing it into the stone wall that appeared in front of him.

Unlike what would be expected when a sword of that size was smashed into a stone wall, there was no loud sound of collision. Instead, the stone liquified, allowing Sugarboy to pass through it as if he were diving through the surface of a pond.

"Well, I wasn't expecting that." Marin replied as she let her [Transformation] revert to normal.

In fact, even if Sugarboy had not liquified the stones in front of him, he would have been able to burst through it with little effort. Since Marin's [Transformation Magic] only allows her to change the shape and appearance of an object without changing its base properties, the wall she created was actually quite fragile.

"Hmm…" Sugarboy hummed as he looked at the spot where the wall once stood. "I didn't remember a wall being here. And I guess my memory was right. It must have just been my imagination."

Hearing Sugarboy's analysis of the situation, Elicia and Marin could only look at him weirdly. It seemed that this Captain of the Fourth Magic War Division was not the sharpest tool in the shed.

"Well, I'll go after the little girl." Elicia said after shaking her head. "You keep this guy busy."

"Sure." Marin replied.

With that, Elicia shot her threads down the corridor towards the ceiling. Then, once they were securely connected, she swung after Coco. Meanwhile, she dropped her [Hiding in Plain Sight] spell on Marin, allowing her to appear before Sugarboy.

"Oh!" Sugarboy exclaimed after seeing someone new appear in the corridor. "Who are you? OH, wait! You're that girl who appeared with the Captain Knightwalker look-a-like when the lacrima disappeared, aren't you?"

"That's right." Marin replied with a nod.

"Did you come to turn yourself in?" Sugarboy asked with a smile. "The King has ordered your arrest. I'm sure if you turn yourself in, the punishment will be more lenient."

"Nope." Marin replied with a shake of her head. "I'm here to stop you from stealing any more magic power from Earth land."

"Earth Land, I guess that's the name of your world." Sugarboy said, once again taking on a disappointed tone. "Not that it matters, I'll just have to add you to the list of people I'll have to drag in front of His Majesty by force."

"You seem pretty confident." Marin said as she took her usual dagger fighting stance. "Let's see if you're just all talk."

In the next instant, Marin [Transformed] the bracelets she was wearing back into the daggers Alfonzo made her earlier in the day. Then, with quick hand movements, she caught the daggers by the hilts and spun the daggers around her hands masterfully.

"[Transformation Magic: Shoot to Kill]." Marin chanted as she pointed her right dagger at Sugarboy's chest plate.

In the next instant, Marin's dagger extended at high speed. Before long, it was right in front of Sugarboy.

"Oh, that's a nifty trick." Sugarboy said as he parried Marin's strike with his sword.

Once again, instead of the sound of two metals colliding, Marin's dagger softened as if it were liquified on impact. Then, before she could react, Sugarboy charged toward her, once again levitating about a foot from the ground. This time, however, he was carrying his sword at his side, ready to cleave Marin in half.

*Swish!*

Reacting on instinct, Marin arched her back and limboed under Sugarboy's slash. Then, as Sugarboy passed above her, she flung her legs upward, kicking him towards the ceiling with all her strength. At the same time, she used her [Transformation Magic] to revert her liquified dagger back to its normal state while retracting its blade.

With Marin's kick, Sugarboy flew upward at an angle. However, he seemed to be completely unbothered by it, even though he was about to crash into the ceiling. And the reason was simple. Just like before, he slashed his massive sword at the ceiling, causing it to soften to the point that he sank into it, instead of crashing headfirst.

Before Sugarboy could reorient himself, however, Marin had already jumped to her feet. Then, with both daggers pointed at him, she chanted her next spell.

"[Transformation Magic: Double Shoot to Kill]." Marin chanted.

Although Sugarboy was able to see the two incoming dagger blades, with his awkward position from being pressed into the corridor's ceiling, he was unable to slash at the blades, using his liquefaction ability to soften them. So, he did the only thing he could do, he raised his sword and used it as a shield.

*Clang!* *Clang!*

The force behind the extending blades was immense. Still, Sugarboy was able to handle it with little effort. And just before he reached the end of the softened portion of the ceiling, he showed his skill with a sword and twisted his blade, resulting in the blades of Marin's daggers being imbedded into the ceiling just to his side.

Then, just as he freed himself from Marin's daggers, Sugarboy pushed off the ceiling and sent himself hurdling at Marin. At the same time, Marin retracted her daggers faster than Sugarboy could approach.

"It looks like fighting at long range won't work." Marin said as she took her fighting stance once again. "And that sword is a major pain. Either way, it's time to end this."

"I agree." Sugarboy said as he approached from the air. "I need to hurry and chase after that girl, Coco, after all."

Once he was in range, Sugarboy summersaulted in Marin's direction, bringing his sword down on her from above. In response, Marin simply side stepped the incoming slash. However, just as Sugarboy's sword touched the floor, the area liquified.

Then, with a quick upswing, Sugarboy launched pieces of the liquified floor along with his blade, obscuring Marin's vision momentarily.

In response, Marin took a quick step back to avoid the liquified chunks of the floor, which turned out to be a good decision. The chunks of the floor that flew past her ended up impacting the walls and smashing holes into them.

'So, his liquefaction ability is a lot like my magic, huh?' Marin thought to herself. 'It changes the material but keeps all the same physical characteristics. But it seems to be a lot less versatile.'

While Marin had that thought, Sugarboy did not slow down his onslaught. Still, Marin managed to dodge all his strikes. Though, it was not as effortless as she would have liked. On top of that, as a result of all his missed slashes, the corridor around the two combatants had turned into a stone swamp.

"If things keep going like this, I won't have anywhere to stand." Marin muttered to herself. "I need to end this fast. Well, I hope this works. [Transformation Magic: Severance]."

With her chant, Marin stepped in towards the downward slash Sugarboy was performing. Then, she slashed her daggers from either side of her body with the thinnest part of Sugarboy's blade being their intersection point.

*Swish!*

*Clang!*

As a result of Marin's slashes, Sugarboy's sword was cut off just above its handguard. As a result, the massive blade was sent flying past her.

'O.M.G. I'm so glad that worked.' Marin thought to herself as she watched Sugarboy's blade separate from the rest of the sword. 'Increasing the mass of my daggers to the limit of what I can handle, then forcing all that extra mass onto the edges of the blades while simultaneously sharpening them even further isn't easy. But since it worked, it's time to finish this.'

"Rose Espada…" Sugarboy muttered as he stared blankly at the bladeless hilt in his hands.

Then, while Sugarboy looked at his bladeless hilt in confusion, Marin stepped in even closer before placing her hands on his chest plate.

"[Transformation Magic: Restraint Jacket]." Marin chanted before performing a leg sweep.

In the next instant, Sugarboy's chest plate [Transformed] into a strait jacket that bound his arms and torso. Then, when he was swept off his feet, his greaves were [Transformed] into a pair of shackles, as well.

Instead of falling to the ground, however, once Sugarboy was lying perpendicular to it, he began to levitate. Before he could fly away, however, Marin slammed the pommels of her daggers down on his chest. As a result, a pair of chains shot out of the back of his restraints before burrowing into the floor.

"How do you even do that?" Marin asked in a confused tone. "I mean, you can't even use magic. And I don't feel any other magic items on you."

"Honestly, I'm not really sure, either." Sugarboy replied with a smile. "but it's really cool, isn't it?"

IN response, Marin could only look at Sugarboy with a dumbfounded expression. Then, deciding that thinking about it would only give her a headache, she pulled the chains out of the floor and started dragging her prisoner in the direction where Elicia and Coco ran off.

Chapter 277: Gajeel Found His Cat

Edolas, Edolas Continent, Floating Landmass.

November, x784.

While Marin was fighting Sugarboy, Panther Lily, the Captain of the First Magic War Division arrived at the floating landmass that housed the giant lacrima. And when he did, he was not surprised when he saw two intruders standing in front of it.

"So, His Majesty was right." Panther Lily said, floating in front of the landmass while reaching for the large sword that was strapped on his back. "I will stop you from destroying the hope of the Edolas Kingdom."

"Really?" Alfonzo asked with his eyes narrowed. "If the hope of this kingdom relies on the sacrifice of uninvolved parties, it's no better than a Dark Guild. And if that's the case, this kingdom doesn't need to exist."

Hearing Alfonzo's declaration, Panther Lily was shaken momentarily. However, his loyalty to his kingdom was currently overwriting his sense of right and wrong.

"Though, I understand what you're talking about, I cannot betray my king." Panther Lily replied, the resolve returning to his eyes.

"Whatever, that king of yours won't be in power much longer." Alfonzo said with a shrug. "Gajeel, he's all yours. This guy wouldn't even be a warm up for me."

"Haha! Hell yeah!" Gajeel cheered excitedly. Then, he pointed his right index finger at Panther Lily as he continued. "I'm gonna beat you up, cat. And when I do, you're gonna follow me back home."

"Bold words." Panther Lily replied while narrowing his eyes. "Especially when speaking to the Captain of the First Magic War Division. Now, allow me, Panther Lily, to show you why I have that title."

With that, Panther Lily pulled the large sword that was comparable to his own height off his back. However, when he held it in front of him, it began growing at an alarming speed. By the time it stopped, it was four times as tall as the Exceed.

"Alright, this should be fun." Gajeel said as he formed his hands into a trumpet shape before putting them in front of his mouth. "[Iron Dragon's Roar]."

With that, a spinning metallic mass capable of inflicting massive blunt force while the sharp iron shards spinning in the twister were able to shred its target spun towards Panther Lily.

Completely unbothered by Gajeel's spell, Panther Lily drew his sword back. Then, when the spell was close enough, he swung the flat of his blade at it, successfully redirecting it away from himself. Though, he did not notice that the spell went flying off in the direction of the city after curving around.

In fact, the reason the spell flew off towards the city is because Natsu, Happy, Lucy, Wendy and Carla were about to be surrounded by the soldiers of the Royal Army. So, Alfonzo took control of Gajeel's spell and opened a path for them.

Meanwhile, Gajeel threw a punch towards Panther Lily from a distance. And just as his punch reached its end, Gajeel's fist turned into iron before it was launched at Panther Lily.

"[Iron Dragon's Club]." Gajeel chanted as he repeatedly threw punches at his airborne opponent.

At the same time, Panther Lily had already had enough of the passive role in this fight. So, instead of waiting for the [Iron Dragon's Club] to arrive, he flew towards it. Then, when he was in range…

*Shing!* *Shing!* *Shing!*

… Panther Lily wielded his oversized sword masterfully, despite its unwieldy size, cutting all the incoming projectiles in half before they could reach him.

"Not bad!" Gajeel shouted excitedly. "but how about this? [Dragon Slayer Secret Art: Karma Demon's Iron God Sword]."

*Clap!*

With his chant, Gajeel clapped his hands above his head. Then, his hands turned into iron and elongated into a gigantic blade. A moment later, Gajeel swung his arms down with all his might, cleaving the gigantic blade down at Panther Lily.

"Impressive." Panther Lily said as he readied himself to swing his own giant sord. "but not enough. No blade in existence can match my Bustermarm."

"Hmph!" Alfonzo snorted from his position behind Gajeel. "I've made better, more functional swords than that one on a whim."

Hearing Alfonzo's mockery, Panther Lily's eye twitched. Still, he was not deterred from swinging his sword to meet Gajeel's blade.

*Shing!*

And just as he said, Gajeel's blade was unable to match Panther Lily's sword as the blade was cleanly cut in two.

Seeing that his [Karma Demon's Iron God Sword] was not enough to even slow Panther Lily down, Gajeel was forced to leap to the side to avoid the swooping Exceed. Alfonzo, on the other hand, did not even deem it necessary to move from where he stood.

"Now that there's no one between us, why don't you try the power of my sword directly?" Panther Lily said as he swung his sword at Alfonzo with all his might. On top of that, the two lacrima imbedded on the blade began to glow in a bright, reddish-orange color as the blade approached Alfonzo.

Although Panther Lily was a tolerant and gentle Exceed, at his core, he was a warrior. And his warrior's pride could not handle Alfonzo mocking the partner he had stepped into battle with many times.

"[Buster Bomb]." Panther Lily chanted as his sword was about to make contact with its target.

"Wrong move." Alfonzo said, holding up one finger in front of the incoming, giant blade.

Then… Nothing happened.

The [Buster Bomb] was the special ability of Panther Lily's magic sword. Upon impact, it causes a large explosion. But using it against Alfonzo was not a good idea. In fact, if Panther Lily had more information about Alfonzo, he would have never tried to do so.

Still, the visual effect of Alfonzo stopping his sword with only one finger was almost too much for Panther Lily to comprehend.

"How… is this… possible?" Panther Lily asked.

"Like I said, you're not even a warm up for me." Alfonzo said before flicking away Panther Lily's blade. "Now, be a good kitty and go play with Gajeel."

'*Sigh* I have to admit, I'm really surprised they use the same sigils as they do back on Earth Land for their magic item crafting.' Alfonzo thought to himself. 'But it's a good thing they do. Otherwise, I would have been able to stop the sword, but I wouldn't have been able to stop the explosion. I guess I should change the sigils back, too. That way Gajeel will have more fun.'

*Ding!*

Meanwhile, Alfonzo's flick sent Panther Lily spinning away from Alfonzo along with his sword.

"[Iron Dragon Incarnation]." Gajeel chanted.

Hearin Gajeel's chant, Panther Lily decided that now was not the time to ponder how Alfonzo stopped his sword so easily. Looking in the direction the chant came from, Panther Lily saw Gajeel was being covered by what appeared to be liquid iron that took on the form of a humanoid dragon with a long, thick tail, metallic wings, and a hinged jaw.

"Now, let's see how you do when your opponent can fly, too." Gajeel said, his voice sounding much more bestial in his new form.

A moment later, Gajeel flapped the wings on his back and he.. didn't move.

"Huh?" Gajeel exclaimed in confusion. "What's the big idea?"

"*Sigh* Why are so many of the Dragon Slayers I know morons?" Alfonzo asked himself.

"Hey, don't lump me in with Salamander!" Gajeel shouted in response.

"Gajeel, do you have any idea how heavy you are, right now?" Alfonzo aske, ignoring Gajeel's protest. "It's gonna take a lot more magic power than that to get yourself airborne."

"Oh, that makes sense." Gajeel replied in an enlightened tone.

Meanwhile, Panther lily was too surprised that Gajeel's wings did not seem to work to take advantage of Gajeel's confusion. Unfortunately, he would not get another chance to do so.

*Swoosh!*

With another flap of his wings, Gajeel shot up into the sky, directly at Panther Lily.

"Even if you're covered in iron, it's useless." Panther Lily said, preparing his sword to cut down Gajeel. "You should have seen it already, Bustermarm can cut through iron with little effort."

With that, Panther Lily attempted to cleave Gajeel in half.

*Clang!*

To Panther Lily's surprise, however, Gajeel simply raised his left arm and blocked the incoming slash with an excited grin on his face.

"Do you really think an iron dragon's scales would be the same as ordinary iron?" Gajeel asked as he griped the blade of Panther Lily's Bustermarm with both of his hands. "Now, let's see how the iron of this world tastes."

Seeing Gajeel opening his mouth wide, Panther Lily tried to activate his [Buster Bomb] once again. Unfortunately for him, Gajeel bit down on the sword too fast. As a result, many of the sigils necessary to activate the ability were destroyed.

*Chomp!* *Chomp!* *Chomp!*

"Hmm… not as good as the metals Alfonzo makes, but not bad, either." Gajeel said while licking his lips.

Once again, Panther Lily could only look on at his companion of many years with disbelief. This time, however, it would seem that he would be looking upon it for the last time.

Meanwhile, Gajeel had already eaten nearly half of the extremely long blade. Then, he yanked the rest of it out of Panther Lily's hand while he was confused.

"Hey, Alfonzo, can you keep the rest of this for me?" Gajeel asked as he tossed the remainder of Panther Lily's Bustermarm in Alfonzo's direction. "It will make a great midnight snack."

"Sure." Alfonzo replied as he caught the sword's hilt. "But I'll be taking the lacrima for myself.

"Whatever." Gajeel replied. "It's not like I have any use for them, anyway."

By this time, Panther Lily had finally come out of his confused state. Instead of retreating, however, he adopted a hand-to-hand fighting stance.

"Even if my weapon is gone, I will not give up as long as I have the strength to stand." Panther Lily said.

"That's the spirit." Gajeel said as he slapped his wings and darted towards his opponent. "[[Iron Dragon's Club]."

While flying towards Panther Lily, Gajeel threw a punch, his arm elongating as he did so. In response, Panther Lily calmly flapped his wings and avoided the iron fist narrowly. Then, once Gajeel's momentum brought him close enough, the Exceed threw a devastating right hook into Gajeel's ribs.

"Gah!" Gajeel grunted from the force behind Panther Lily's blow.

At the same time, Panther Lily winced in pain as he felt like the bones in his fist were about to shatter. Before he could recover, however, he was forced to flap his wings to avoid another punch from the Iron Dragon Slayer.

Like that, the back and forth between Gajeel and Panther Lily continued in midair. Though they were both able to fly, Gajeel was not experienced enough with aerial combat to catch Panther Lily. Meanwhile, although Panther Lily was able to land many successful attacks on Gajeel, to do any real amount of damage, he risked crippling himself.

"Well, it looks like this is gonna take a while." Alfonzo muttered as he looked up at the midair combatants. "I wonder if Lici found the key to the Anima yet?"

And just as that thought left Alfonzo's mouth, Elicia had finally caught up to Coco in the Castle's underground.

Edolas, Edolas Continent, Royal Capital.

"Hey, stop!" Elicia shouted as she swung down the corridors of the Royal Capital's underground area. "I'm not with the ones who want to use the Anima for evil. I promise, I'm not a suspicious person."

"Only a suspicious person says that." Coco replied while running at full speed.

"Oh, come on!" Elicia shouted back. "I'm from Earth land. There's no reason for me to turn the Exceed into lacrima crystals, is there?'

Hearing that, Coco started to consider Elicia's words. Before she could slow down, however, she ran through a door and ended up in an underground amusement park with Elicia following shortly afterward.

"Great." Elicia muttered, casting [Hiding in Plain Sight] as soon as she entered the amusement park. "I was hoping to stop her before we got here."

"Well, well, well… Look who it is." Hughes said, walking towards Coco from the depth of the amusement park. "It's quite amazing that you could get away from the captains for so long, Coco."

"Hughes…." Coco muttered as she skidded to a stop. "Ouch!"

"Oh my, it looks like you've hurt your feet." Hughes said in a carefree tone. "Now, it's time to end this game. Give back that amazing key you stole and your punishment will be lighter.""

"No.." Coco muttered as she tried to take a step back. "Ow!"

Unfortunately, the damage to Coco's feet from running around the stone floors barefoot for so long, mixed with the stop she just made, was too much for her to bare. As a result, she fell backward, landing on her butt.

"Now, now, don't be so stubborn." Hughes said as he approached. "I promise, His Majesty's generosity is amazing. Your punishment won't be too harsh."

At this point, Hughes' hand was less than an inch (2.54 cm) away from the key in Coco's arms. Before he could grab it, however, it, along with Coco, was yanked away from Hughes' grasp.

"You know what?" Elicia asked from the ceiling of the underground amusement park. "I think I'll take her with me, 'kay?"
