The Drakes of Heaven and Earth. by NinjaHound13
Clay(ton) Grimm:[Spotting her in a Dessert Café] There you are!...But who's that you're with?

[Clayton walked into the café himself to find Chico with another person]

Erza?!...What are you doing here?

Erza Scarlet: Ah, Clayton...I was wondering when you'd show up...Chico filled me in on your quest with her...Seems all three of us are heading to Gednuyama...Your mining for ore, and I'm killing a monster…I forgot to ask...What exactly are you two mining anyways?

Chico C Hammitt: Something called “Orichalcum”...

ES:[Speechless] Or-orichalcum?!

CCH: Yeah...You know about it?

ES: Of course I do! My personal blacksmith has told me just how amazing it is! An entire city sank into the ocean because they failed to respect it's amazing power and worth!

CG: Yeah...They used it like it was a common building material...That's why people believe Atlantis sank…

CCH: Wait...Atlantis?...Isn't it just a myth?

CG: No...It was real...It sank around X76…[Lying] And no one has found it since then…

CCH: Woah!...So, Erza...Who's your client?

ES: A man by the name of Rocco Canary…

CG&CCH:[Surprised] Huh!? That's our client too!

ES: Really?...Well...My job posting did describe that the monsters are being held up in some old mine caverns…

CG: So Rocco's paying you to clear it out and me to dig it out…

ES: But why would he post a job to kill a monster if he's having you come over and mine afterwards?...You're surely capable of doing both…

CG: Of course I am...Rocco is just really protective of me...Can't say that I blame him though...Me and my sisters are the nest when it comes to sniffing out raw materials...From simple iron, to Orichalcum…

CCH: Is gold included in that “sniffing out”?

CG: Yep!...But if there isn't any gold nearby, I can always “make it rain” so to speak…

Ladies:[Confused]

ES: I'm not sure we follow…

CG: Most gold originates from meteorites long ago...And I can drop some meteors if I need to…

Ladies:[Shocked] What!?!

CCH: You can drop meteors?!

CG: Yep!...But I can even use Transmutation Magic* to change most things to what I want them to be...But it only works one mole at a time...Any more and it'd become...Nuclear…

CCH: So...That's what you did to the rings you gave me…

ES: Your rings?[Getting the wrong idea] Oh, I see...But shouldn't you two take things slowly?

CCH&CG:[Confused] Huh?!

ES: Engagement is not to be used lightly you know…

CCH&CG:[Shocked] ENGAGED?! WE'RE NOT ENGAGED!

CG:[Whispers] All I did was make some toe rings for her so she can always be stepping on Magnolia…

ES: Oh...I see…

CG: So...How much is the man giving you?

ES:[Quietly] 700 million! I was lucky to grab it before Laxus spotted it…So what about you two? A couple hundred thousand? Million?

[Chico slides the letter over to Erza]

ES:[Stuttering] T-t-t-ten billion!?! Per cube?!

CG&CCH:[Nodding yes]

ES: Mind...Mind if I tag along for your quest also?

Both: Not at all!

CG:[Remembering] Oh shit! I forgot to tell you both that the tracks are fixed!

Ladies: HUH!?

CG: Let's head for the station before we miss the train!

All: Let's go!
They've just missed the last ride. Have to wait for the next one.
