Dancing Animals 4

Minstrel Border

Naruto and co appeared at the border of Minstrel and Joya. "That took a lot," Naruto said aloud. Everyone was shocked at their surroundings.

"Oh my God,"

"What the hell!"

"Crap,"

"Aye, aye," came the reactions of everyone as they stared at the pure contrast in front of them.

One side was filled with the Desert while the other was full of life and trees.

"How far are we from our previous location?" Kagura asked in surprise.

"Don't know. Maybe a few thousand kilometres? I didn't measure the distance. But it will take a few days by flight if we want to reach Fiore from here." Naruto said with a shrug.

"Are you for real? How the hell did you transport us from there?" Gray asked in shock. This is the first outburst he had as he always stays calm and collected.

"What's the big deal?" Natsu asked, confused.

"What are you doing not listening to us?" Gray asked in irritation.

"Something is coming towards us from there. I was looking at it," Natsu said, pointing to a small bump moving towards them in the sand.

"Is it a sandworm?" Sirius asked.

"Hmm, looks like it. Maybe we don't need to find the job requester to show where others are. Follow it and you will be led there. Ok, guys. Do it," said Naruto and vanished from the place.

"The hell! Where did he go?" Kagura asked as she saw the worm approach.

"I think we should worry about that," said Sirius as he saw it approach them.

"Fire Dragon's Roar," yelled Natsu and spewed a large stream of fire towards the approaching worm.

*Shriek*

They heard a large shriek and the worm changed its direction and turned left and crossed into the lush forests and continued its digging. Natsu started running behind it while others followed.

Kagura was pissed by this. First, he asked (more like ordered) her to come with him. Now he vanishes when they are charged by some worm. This is why she doesn't like mages.

The things they did to her village were unforgivable and after finding her brother, she is going to kick Naruto's ass till he profusely apologises for his attitude. But first, though, she needs to take care of the stupid worm.

'Why did you vanish like that, Papa?' Sirius asked as he followed the worm by keeping track of its moments using his Dōjutsu. He still had to name it. The shit is moving fast.

'Aren't you up for some fighting? Do it yourselves. I'll take a nap,' came the lazy reply of his father.

'Are you imitating someone?' Sirius asked suspiciously.

'Not anyone you know. But I'm not going to get involved with this. Let's see what our sword girl can do when I leave you like this,' Naruto said in a sleepy tone.

'So that's what you want to do, test her?'

'Ok, times up. Happy dancing, kiddo.' Naruto said and closed the connection.

'Damn it, why does he have to do this?' Sirius grumbled as he jumped when a spike came out of the ground.

"Careful, buddy. That newbie left us in quite a predicament," said Natsu as he kicked the spike.

"Yeah, looks like we are approaching some kind of deep forest. Be careful, guys. We don't know what this thing is leading us towards," Gray said as they approached the thick forest.

"What in the world-!" Exclaimed Kagura as they came face to face with many creatures. There are many types of animals rolling around, hoping and some even dancing.

"Ok, looks like this is the place. Let's clean this up," said Natsu, cracking his knuckles.

"What? Humans? What are they doing here?" Came an icy voice as all of the animals moved aside to reveal a large Lizardman.

It is tall, standing at 9 feet and has human-like short claws instead of fingers. Possessing scales more similar to those of a crocodile instead of a lizard's with red eyes glowing with greed.

"Do you want to dance with us?" It asked happily, but none of them got the feeling it was joining and Happy gulped.

"No? Then there is only one option for you. Devour them!" It yelled and all the creatures there started to shout in joy and moved towards them.

"Oh, oh. Looks like we need to do things fast. I don't think they will wait for us." Said Gray and all of them started at the same time.

"Ice-Make: Arrows," said Gray and shot some Ice arrows towards the approaching animals. Though it hit some, most of them fell useless because of the tough skin of the Lizardmen.

"Ice-Make: Hammer," said Gray and formed a Hammer in the air and tried to hit them back, but it also proved to be useless.

"Lighting Style: Thunder Clap," said Sirius and released a lightning bolt towards the approaching lizards. It did shock some, but they walked forward, shrugging off the pain.

"Fire Dragon's: Claw," said Natsu, igniting his feet in flames, increasing the power of his kicks and launched towards the approaching animals and started punching and kicking them.

Similar to how they shrugged off Sirius's lightning attack, they walked towards them, some of their faces and bodies deformed in some areas.

"No damage? What the hell are these made off and why are they walking as if they are dead?" Sirius asked as he recalled previous experience.

"Could it be? Did you meet my friends' Lock and Holder?" Asked the first Lizardman who was sitting to the side, drinking some blood?

"Shit, this is bad. If these are even close to those, then we are in some serious trouble. Guys, use your strongest attacks," called Sirius and he started first.
