In the Fairy Tail guild hall, everyone was celebrating another round of successful missions when a Magic Council mage, Mest Gryder appeared and interrupted things, bringing about a troubling mission.
"An indestructible barrier?" Markov questioned drawing in everyone's attention.
"Yes, we've been tracking an outlaw who has been secretly stealing forbidden class magical items and when we found him his home base is covered in a barrier that can't be broken..." Mest explained as Natsu laughed.
"Can't be broken? Then clearly you aren't hitting it hard enough!" he cried out as Mest narrowed his eyes.
"We hit it with Etherion," Mest said shocking everyone.
"You used Etherion?!" Markov cried out shocked.
"Isn't that the thing that vaporized that tower?" Natsu questioned.
"Yeah, and nearly us with it," Gray replied.
"Why would you guys go so far to use Etherion?" Erza questioned.
"Honestly, most of the items he has been collecting would be better off gone, so that was our intent, but his barrier withstood the attack, didn't even get a crack in it..." Mest replied as Mirajane became curious.
"Why not just surround the place and wait till he has to come out?"
"We did, but he still kept on stealing more magical items, he has some special teleport ability that allows him through his barrier," Mest explained as Markov grew grim.
"Then how do you intend to break through? If Etherion failed, we don't have anything that can be used," Markov questioned as Mest soon rubbed the back of his head.
"Well, we intended to have Mermaid Heel help us out with this one, but they were away on vacation, so we came to you guys with our next plan, seduction."
"Seduction?" everyone questioned confused.
"Yes, the man who has been stealing everything is named Zechs Lenard, and he is known to not be able to turn a blind eye to a beautiful woman," Mest explained. "Our plan is using the allure of someone to get them inside and then start busting the place up!"
"Well, if it is a beautiful woman, then Fairy Tail's most beautiful is glad to help!" Evergreen said stepping forward with grace.
"So Erza will you help us?" Mest asked, causing Evergreen to fall to the ground dumbfounded.
"Umm, well I suppose..." Erza said as Evergreen stood up.
"Excuse me! But no one has more seduction than me!" she said making Mest scratch the side of his face.
"Well I guess, maybe, both of you could take this job? I would hate to send Erza in by herself," he said as Evergreen smirked.
"Fine and I'll outshine Erza as well!" she said proudly as Markov approved of the mission as a curious Lisanna looked on.
"Sis, what about us?" Lisanna questioned as Mirajane laughed lightly.
"I say we stay out of this one and thankfully Lucy and Wendy are on their own mission to not get caught up in this mess," Marianne explained as everyone began preparations.
