The Drakes of Heaven and Earth.
Narrator: As our hero was resting after his victories from before, he had a flashback in the form of a nightmare about one of the Etherious demons that attacked Freesia. Because of her, he has a traumatic fear of rabbits.
Child Clay(ton) Grimm:[Screaming] AAAAAAAHHH!!! Get away from me, bunny lady!
Lamy: Aaawe! Are you gonna cry, kid!?! I just wanna have fun![Her weird laugh.]
CCG: In case you haven't noticed, demons are attacking my home! What kind of fun are you planning to have!?!
Lamy: Oh, destroying some stupid little town no one cares about isn't going to hurt anyone!
CCG: I SAW TWO OF YOUR FRIENDS DESTROY AN ENTIRE CITY BLOCK LIKE IT WAS NOTHING! YOU JERKS ARE DOING NOTHING BUT HURTING PEOPLE!!! WHAT THE HECK YOU YOU GUYS EVEN WANT!?! AAAAAH![Clay narrowly dodges a lunging grab from the demon.]
Lamy: Hmmm...You got me there! We are hurting people! Too bad their pathetic lives are worthless! I've seen no one worth turning into a demon...well...My friends might let me turn you into my personal servant![Singsong] It'll be fun...[Sinister look] For me...[Laughs] I'll have you at my beck and call, doing whatever I want, getting whatever I need, rubbing me anywhere I want you to rub me! From head, to toe![Laughs] And when your older...that's when the real fun begins...
CCG: AAAAAAAHHH!!! STRANGER DANGER![Lamy successfully grabbed the young six year-old.] LET ME GO! I DON'T WANNA BE YOUR SERVANT! SOMEONE! HE-E-E-ELP!!![Muffled, incoherent speech as Lamy squeezes his small head into her torso.]
Lamy: Awe! It'll be okay little guy! Once I start changing you into a demon, I'll wipe all of your worthless memory...[Sinister tone] and make it so you enjoy serving me...[Laughs] Now...how about a little kiss from your new master...[Grabbing him by the head, slowly forcing his mouth towards her puckered lips.]
Voice: Clay? Clay!?!
CCG/CG: Dad?
Griffin: CLAY!
Clay(ton) Grimm: AAAHHH![Heavy breathing.]
Clairissa Suede: Had the same nightmare again?!
CG: Yeah...Wonder if Magnolia has any good therapists...
CS: Or psychologists...Hey! You'll never guess who moved in across the canal!...
CG: Well...Despite being unable to get drunk, you both know alcohol dulls my Seismic Sense to the point that it'll be practically useless...Natsu and Happy!?!
Griff: Incorrect...It's Lucy.
CG: Hey! Guess we're neighbors!...We should get her a welcome basket!
CS:[Holding an enormous welcome basket] Like this!
CG: Perfect![Gets dressed really quickly.] Now what's for breakfast!?!
CS&Griff: Chicken and Waffles!
CG: Oh, yeah!!! My favorite!
[As they were enjoying their breakfast, they heard a shriek from Lucy's new home.]
CG: Huh!?! Claire! What's going on over there!?!
CS: Natsu and Happy are in Lucy's home...And they don't look like they were invited...
Griff: Home invaders!?! In my neighborhood!?![Grabs two of his staves.] Not on my watch! Let's go!
CG:[Knocking on Lucy's door] Lucy?! Is everything alright!?!
Lucy Heartfilia:[Angry] NO! NATSU AND HAPPY BARGED INTO MY NEW HOME! AND I JUST GOT OUT THE BATH!!!
CG: Sorry in advance for the door! I'll fix it really quick!
[Clay and Griffin smashed the front door in, splintering it across Lucy's floor.]
Natsu Dragneel: Hey guys! Check out Lucy's new place! Isn't it cool!?!
Happy: Aye!
CG: Leave her premises right now!...[Cracks knuckles] Or else...[Points back at Griffin.]
Griff:[Twirling the staves] We're going to have a problem...
ND&Hap:[Scared] AAAAAAAHHH!!! OKAY!!! DON'T HURT US!!![They rushed outside.]
LH:[Grateful] Thank you! Now can you give me a moment to get dressed!?!
CG&Griff: Of course![They leave.]
[After half an hour, Lucy invite everyone back in her home.]
Hap:[Scratching up Lucy's wall] Nice place you've got here!
*BAM!*
Griff:[After hitting Happy] Wallpaper isn't free you know!!!
ND:[Grabbing Lucy's manuscript] Hey...What's this!?!
LH: *Gasp!* [Kicks Natsu in the face, grabbing the manuscript] NOTHING!!!
ND:[Confused] So you just kicked me in the face!?! Over nothing!?!
LH:[Defensive] Yeah! Well maybe I would! Now would you please go home!
ND: Awe! But your place is way more exiting!
LH: I hate boys!!!
Title Card: Infiltrate the Everlue Mansion!
CG: Good thing I'm a man and not a boy...Now come on! Tell us what it is!!!
CS: Yeah! You can trust us! We're neighbors!
LH: Really!?! You guys are my neighbors!?!
Griff: That's correct. We actually live across the canal from you...
LH: You mean that place that's over twice the size of my place!?! It must cost a fortune!
CG: Nope! Made a deal for 35,000J a month! The mayor knows just how good we are at building stuff! So he gave us that steal of a price and tax exemptions as long as we keep Magnolia whole!
LH: 35,000!?! FOR THAT PLACE!?!...MAN...Wish you could've helped me get an even better deal on this place...
CS: So! What's that you got there?
LH:[Flustered] Uhhh...It's nothing!...Just a novel I've been working on...Is all...
ND: YOU KICKED ME OVER A BOOK!?! WHAT THE-*BOOM!*
[Griffin spiked Natsu into the floor.]
Griff: Sorry...Clay'll fix it...
CG: In a moment...You know...If you want some pointers and constructive criticism, me and Claire would be more than happy to help!
LH: No offense...But what do any of you know about literature?!
CS: Our ancestors were Brothers Grimm!
LH:[Surprised] WOAH!!! You mean you guys are related to Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm!?! The authors of Grimm's Fairy Tales!?!
CG&CS: Yep! We know their work by heart!
LH: Well...I guess I could use some guidance...I'll let you both know when I want it to be critiqued!
ND: Boooring! Hey Lucy! How about you show us those weird little key guys you like to collect!?!
LH: For your information, they're called “Celestial spirits”
Hap: How many of these”Celestial spirits” do you have contracts with!?!
LH:[Pulling out her keys] Six so far! Not to brag or anything, but I even have a couple different types of them!...The silver keys are the ones you can find at the Magic Shops...I have Horologium the clock, Crux the southern cross, and Lyra the harp!...But the gold ones are super rare! There are twelve in total, and they open the gates of the Zodiac! I've got Taurus the golden bull, Aquarius the water-bearer, and that last one is Cancer the giant crab!
ND:[Mouth watering] Giant crab!
Hap:[Mouth watering] Giant crab legs!
LH: I've never met anyone as obsessed with food as these two...
CS: You're pretty well informed as a Celestial Wizard...But you forgot some things…
LH:[Remembering Ophiuchus] Oh yeah! And Clay has a Zodiac spirit too! Ophiuchus the Snake Charmer! I guess she has a black gate key...
CG: Well...That's one thing you missed...But we're talking about there being more than twelve gold gate keys...And the gold-trimmed keys of the the other original spirits…And the fact that you don't even need a key to summon celestial spirits…
LH:[Absolutely shocked] HUH!!! WHAT!?! I'VE NEVER LEARNED ABOUT ANY OF THAT!!! HOW DO YOU KNOW!?!
CS: Orion told us...He's THE expert when it comes to Celestial Spirit knowledge...We should call him up on our Comms Lacrima one of these days to tell you all about it…
LH: I'd appreciate it!...But who's Orion!?!
Griff: He's Sorciers Sans Frontiéres Celestial Wizard...And expert at weapons and hand-to-hand combat…
LH: Good to know...All this Celestial Magic talk has reminded me that I need to make a contract with the key I bought in Hargeon...I don't suppose you'd all are interested in seeing how a Celestial Wizard makes a contract with a celestial spirit?!
Hap:[Whispering to Natsu] I hope it's not some grotty blood pact…
ND:[Whispering to Happy] Well it sounds like a pain in the butt to me!...
LH: Ummm...I can hear you!..So leave my butt out of this!
CG:(She even has sharp ears like Anna…)
LH: All right! Pay attention![Key in hand] I call upon thee, in the world of the celestial spirits! I beckon you to my side at once! Past through the gate!
Open! Gate of Canis Minor! Come Nikora!
[A Nikora spirit forms in front of them all.]
Nikora:(Translation) Woah! I've finally been chosen! Mom and dad would be so proud!
ND&Hap:[Unimpressed] Nice try…
LH:[Pissed] SHUT UP! I MEANT TO DO THAT!
Nikora:(Translation) Uhhh...Hi!...
LH:[Hugging the spirit] Awe! You are such a cutie-pa-tootie!
ND: Uhhh...You think so?!
LH: It doesn't take much magic to get these little guys through the gate...So a lot of wizards actually keep them as pets!
Nikora:(Translation) Just a pet!?! Brother Nico was right...None of these new fangled Celestial Wizard's would even consider training us for combat...
Hap:[Whispering to Natsu] You know...This whole “Pet” thing, isn't sitting well with me!...
ND:[Whispering to Happy] Not with a weird Master like Luny over here!...
LH:[Annoyed] My name, is Lucy! And I can still hear you...Well! Let's start working on our contract!
Nikora:(Translation) Sure thing!
LH: Are you free Mondays?
Nikora:(Translation) Nope! Sorry! I'm scheduled with my parents those days!
LH: Tuesdays?
Nikora:(Translation) I'm available!
LH: Wednesdays?
Nikora:(Translation) Yep!
ND:[While drinking tea] MAN...This is boring…
Hap:[While eating Mackerel] Mmmhhm!
LH: Great! Well that just about does it!
Nikora:(Translation) Hurray!
[Their contract is from Tuesdays through Sundays.]
Hap: That was pretty easy…
ND: Yep!
CG:[Remembering commencing all of his blood contracts] And painless…
LH:[To Natsu and Happy] It may seem silly to you two, but it's really important...You see, a Celestial Wizard's Contract relies on the promise that is made between the wizard and the spirit! Which is why I make it a point to always keep my promises! Got it?
ND:[Unenthusiastic] Oh, yeah…
LH: Okay now...I just have to come up with a name…
Hap: Isn't it Nikora?
Nikora:(Translation) No, that'swhat me and my siblings are called…
LH: No, that's the species...OH! I know! Come here Plue!
Plue:(Translation) I like that name...Here I come my wizard!
Everyone: Plue huh…
LH: I think it's like the cutest name ever! Isn't that right Plue?
Plue:(Translation) You smell like my mom! Do you both use the same shampoo or something!?!
ND: Are you sure he's cool with that!?!
Plue:(Why wouldn't I be!?!)
LH: Why wouldn't he be!?!
Hap: So even though his sign is The Little Dog, he doesn't bark like a dog!?! That's kinda weird...
LH&Plue: Well I don't see you meowing over there, buddy!
CG: Come on Lucy! Nikora spirits can be SO MUCH more than simply pets for wizards![Under his breath] But I guess celestial wizards nowadays can't even bother to train them to their full potential…
LH: One. I heard that! Two. What do you mean!?! Everyone knows they aren't much useful in a fight! And what do you mean train him!?!
CS: Although it's true Nikora spirits aren't powerful by birth, if a wizards knows how to train one, they can be very capable companions in battle…
LH:[Disbelief] Okay...I have the feeling that you two are just joking with me…
Griff: They are not...Orion himself is contracted with the gold-trimmed keys of Canis Major, Maiorem, and Canis Minor, Luminare, the parents of all Nikora spirits. Although their children all look mostly like Luminare’s normal form, they have the potential to transform into their own lesser battle form...Some have even managed to transform in their greater battle form...But if celestial wizards keep treating them like pets...That's all they'll ever be good for…
Plue:(Translation) Wait! You know my parents!?! And Uncle Orion!?!
CG: That's right Plue! We're really good friends!
Plue:(Translation) Wow! Really!?! With you guys around, I might be able to gain more control on my lesser battle form...Maybe even a greater battle form!
CS: You can count on us to help you out Plueman![Instead of snowman.]
LH:[Shocked] WAIT!?! YOU CAN UNDERSTAND HIM!?!
CG&CS: Did you forget about our Biotic Eye Magic!?!
LH:[Remembering] Oh! Right!...
CS: So Plue! Have you ever activated any of your battle forms!?!
Plue:(Translation) Well I've only sorta went into my lesser battle form...But mom and dad said it was while I was having a nightmare…
CG: Well...I'm curious as to how your lesser battle form looks...If you want, me and Claire can use our Biotic Eye Magic to see if we can force you into your lesser form…
Plue:(Translation) Really!?! Oh, yeah! Let's give it a try!
CG&CS: Okay…[Clay and Claire’s green eyes glowed, later having Plue’s eyes glow green as well. After some struggling, Plue transformed into his lesser battle form, resembling a coyote-sized white husky, with white irises, and his nose is orange like in his normal form.]
CS&LH: Awe! He's SO cute!
Hap:[Jealous] Hey! I'M cute!
Plue: *Sniffles* (Translation) I think I'm gonna-
*Sneeze!*
[Happy is frozen in a block of ice when Plue’s cryogenic sneeze hit him, as that happens, Plue returns to his normal form.]
ND: HAPPY! I'll thaw you out little buddy![Natsu's fire-engulfed hand thawed the blue exceed out.]
Hap:[Shivering] That was colder than Gray's Ice Magic! *Shivers!* Crank up the heat Natsu!
ND:[Intensifying the flames] Still can't be colder than his ego!
Plue:[Dancing](Translation) Yeah! Wooohooo! I actually used my own magic! Dad is gonna be SO proud! And mom's gonna flip! Maybe quite literally!
LH:[Seeing Plue dance] What's he doing!?!...
ND: Oh yeah! You're right about that, Plue!
Plue:[Thumb up](Translation) Yeah!
Everyone: You can understand him!?!
[Natsu stares at everyone.]
Everyone: What's his deal…
ND: Alright! Then it's settled! You all are gonna be part of our team!
Hap: GO TEAM!!!
Everyone: Your team?!
Hap: Aye! Even though everyone in the guild is allied to one another, some members that get along really well, get together and form teams within the guild! That way, jobs that may be too hard by one person to take, can get done by a team!
CS: Kinda like how me and Clay form the Nidhogg team…
CG: And me and Vicki, and sometimes Claire, form The Drakes of Heaven and Earth!...But were still part of S.S.F….
LH: Awesome!
Everyone: Let's do it![They all devise a group handshake.]
ND: Cool! So you all gonna work with us!?!
CG,CS&Griff: Sure!
LH: Yep! You have my word!
ND: Okay team, then let's get to work![Holding a flyer.] I've got our first job right here!
LH:[Giddy] It's all happening so fast!
LH&CS: Let's see what you've got there!...[They both read the flyer together.]
CG: While you two do that, I'll repair your place Lucy...Don't wand your landlord throwing a fit…[Clay fixes all the damage in Lucy's home.]
CS: So it's in Shirotsume huh…
LH: NO WAY!!! 200,000J just for taking a book from some rich guy named Duke Everlue!
ND: Should be a piece of cake!...
Griff: Everlue?
CG:[Finished up. Remembering] Isn't that one of the names of the financial supporters of the Balam Alliance?
Griff: Think so...I believe he's under the Oración Seis’s operations…
LH&CS: Uh…[Reading]Please note: Everlue is a dirty old man who is currently looking for maids with blonde hair, and/or dark skin!
CG&Griff: WHAT!?!
ND:[To Happy] We know two girls that fit those descriptions…
Hap: Yep! And I bet we can find them some maids uniforms!
CS&LH: Why you sneaky little...THAT'S NOT FAIR!!!
ND: It's a good thing you can rely on the words of family and celestial wizards!
LH&CS: BUT YOU TRICKED US!!!
ND: Ohooo! Lighten up you two! Now try getting into character and address Happy here as your master!
LH&CS: NO WAY!!!
CG: As despicable as Natsu's trick is...This would be the simplest way to get to the book without any conflict…
CS: Really bro! Your on his side!?!
CG: Look! The second that creep makes an attempt to get all handsey with you two, me and Griff will beat him worse than we beat Papa Mak, alright!?!
LH&CS:[Reluctant] Okay…
ND: Alright! Now let's all get in TERRA and head to Shirotsume!
[They all come out of Lucy's place.]
ND: Alright fam! Where's your place!?!
CG:[Points to their home] There…
ND&Hap: WOAH!!! IT'S BIG!!!
CS: Let's all head inside while we get TERRA all set up...
Child Clay(ton) Grimm:[Screaming] AAAAAAAHHH!!! Get away from me, bunny lady!
Lamy: Aaawe! Are you gonna cry, kid!?! I just wanna have fun![Her weird laugh.]
CCG: In case you haven't noticed, demons are attacking my home! What kind of fun are you planning to have!?!
Lamy: Oh, destroying some stupid little town no one cares about isn't going to hurt anyone!
CCG: I SAW TWO OF YOUR FRIENDS DESTROY AN ENTIRE CITY BLOCK LIKE IT WAS NOTHING! YOU JERKS ARE DOING NOTHING BUT HURTING PEOPLE!!! WHAT THE HECK YOU YOU GUYS EVEN WANT!?! AAAAAH![Clay narrowly dodges a lunging grab from the demon.]
Lamy: Hmmm...You got me there! We are hurting people! Too bad their pathetic lives are worthless!

From head, to toe![Laughs] And when your older...that's when the real fun begins...
CCG: AAAAAAAHHH!!! STRANGER DANGER![Lamy successfully grabbed the young six year-old.] LET ME GO! I DON'T WANNA BE YOUR SERVANT! SOMEONE! HE-E-E-ELP!!![Muffled, incoherent speech as Lamy squeezes his small head into her torso.]
Lamy: Awe! It'll be okay little guy! Once I start changing you into a demon, I'll wipe all of your worthless memory...[Sinister tone] and make it so you enjoy serving me...[Laughs] Now...how about a little kiss from your new master...[Grabbing him by the head, slowly forcing his mouth towards her puckered lips.]
Voice: Clay? Clay!?!
CCG/CG: Dad?
Griffin: CLAY!
Clay(ton) Grimm: AAAHHH![Heavy breathing.]
Clairissa Suede: Had the same nightmare again?!
CG: Yeah...Wonder if Magnolia has any good therapists...
CS: Or psychologists...Hey! You'll never guess who moved in across the canal!...
CG: Well...Despite being unable to get drunk, you both know alcohol dulls my Seismic Sense to the point that it'll be practically useless...Natsu and Happy!?!
Griff: Incorrect...It's Lucy.
CG: Hey! Guess we're neighbors!...We should get her a welcome basket!
CS:[Holding an enormous welcome basket] Like this!

ND:[Intensifying the flames] Still can't be colder than his ego!
Plue:[Dancing](Translation) Yeah! Wooohooo! I actually used my own magic! Dad is gonna be SO proud! And mom's gonna flip! Maybe quite literally!
LH:[Seeing Plue dance] What's he doing!?!...
ND: Oh yeah! You're right about that, Plue!
Plue:[Thumb up](Translation) Yeah!
Everyone: You can understand him!?!
[Natsu stares at everyone.]
Everyone: What's his deal…
ND: Alright! Then it's settled! You all are gonna be part of our team!
Hap: GO TEAM!!!
Everyone: Your team?!
Hap: Aye! Even though everyone in the guild is allied to one another, some members that get along really well, get together and form teams within the guild! That way, jobs that may be too hard by one person to take, can get done by a team!
CS: Kinda like how me and Clay form the Nidhogg team…
CG: And me and Vicki, and sometimes Claire, form The Drakes of Heaven and Earth!...But were still part of S.S.F….
LH: Awesome!
Everyone: Let's do it![They all devise a group handshake.]
ND: Cool! So you all gonna work with us!?!
CG,CS&Griff: Sure!
LH: Yep! You have my word!
ND: Okay team, then let's get to work![Holding a flyer.] I've got our first job right here!
LH:[Giddy] It's all happening so fast!
LH&CS: Let's see what you've got there!...[They both read the flyer together.]
CG: While you two do that, I'll repair your place Lucy...Don't wand your landlord throwing a fit…[Clay fixes all the damage in Lucy's home.]
CS: So it's in Shirotsume huh…
LH: NO WAY!!! 200,000J just for taking a book from some rich guy named Duke Everlue!
ND: Should be a piece of cake!...
Griff: Everlue?
CG:[Finished up. Remembering] Isn't that one of the names of the financial supporters of the Balam Alliance?
Griff: Think so...I believe he's under the Oración Seis’s operations…
LH&CS: Uh…[Reading]Please note: Everlue is a dirty old man who is currently looking for maids with blonde hair, and/or dark skin!
CG&Griff: WHAT!?!
ND:[To Happy] We know two girls that fit those descriptions…
Hap: Yep! And I bet we can find them some maids uniforms!
CS&LH: Why you sneaky little...THAT'S NOT FAIR!!!
ND: It's a good thing you can rely on the words of family and celestial wizards!
LH&CS: BUT YOU TRICKED US!!!
ND: Ohooo! Lighten up you two! Now try getting into character and address Happy here as your master!
LH&CS: NO WAY!!!
CG: As despicable as Natsu's trick is...This would be the simplest way to get to the book without any conflict…
CS: Really bro! Your on his side!?!
CG: Look! The second that creep makes an attempt to get all handsey with you two, me and Griff will beat him worse than we beat Papa Mak, alright!?!
LH&CS:[Reluctant] Okay…
ND: Alright! Now let's all get in TERRA and head to Shirotsume!
[They all come out of Lucy's place.]
ND: Alright fam! Where's your place!?!
CG:[Points to their home] There…
ND&Hap: WOAH!!! IT'S BIG!!!
CS: Let's all head inside while we get TERRA all set up...
