YO, people of Death City! I got somethin' important to talk about.

I dunno how far word has spread, but I've been told by a few people now that there's this legendary sword who gives the users ultimate powers and can win this war. Dunno why no one's tried to find it yet -- but I've been lookin'! It ain't in the toilet of Keroro's shop, by the way, Luna.

[ Natsu holds up the LEGENDARY BOOK OF EXCALIBUR. Then he flips through to show a picture of the sword embedded in stone. ]

It's apparently in this cave. So here's what I'm thinkin'. We go get it. We take a day to prepare a team and then go out and get our hands on the weapon. Lots of us wanna go home, right? Shibusen needs us to win the war, right?

[ He taps the book's cover with his hand. ]

This is our best shot. Who's with me?

[sayatakagi]

Natsu-san.

Don't you think if things really were the way you are describing it, wouldn't Shibusen have done that already?

[Video]

[dragneel]

They are pretty busy. Maybe they just didn't have time for a quest.

[dissenter]

[wait, natsu's read a book that qilby hasn't?



natsu can read??]

Do you really think that'll work? There must be some catch...

[dragneel]

There is!

[ He flips a few pages. ]

In order to gain its power, ya gotta be able to pull it from the stone.

[ The book is turned around so he can point to the stone slab Excalibur sits in. ]

That's why we need a team. Someone here oughta be able to do it.

[ videp ]

[this_is_keron]

I'm in.

[ video ]

[dragneel]

Great! The more people the better. Says here only the chosen one can remove it from the stone!

[Video]

[shiromadoushi]

...Is that the King Arthur legend, or about the Weapon who left us those chocolates? [[because if they're one in the same... well, no, he won't be surprised.]]

[Video]

[dragneel]

[ He's never heard of either, so... ]

Dunno. But what's it matter? It can help us win! Victory and glory is what it says here in the book!

[portalist]

[An actual real live quest?? YES.]

Count me in, Natsu! If it can help us win the war, we've gotta find it!

[dragneel]

I was hopin' you'd come along! Who knows. Maybe you'll even be the one who can pull it outta the stone, Yugo!

[Video]

[spandexisyouth]

Ah. He... Are you sure you wish to find him?

[Video]

[dragneel]

Real sure! If this is gonna tip the odds in our favor, then it's worth the trip.

[Video]

[grab_my_bells]

I think someone's already pulled Excalibur from the stone. It seems to me he's been running amok around here causing havoc every once in a while.

...isn't that the book where the king is sleeping with his sister and the queen is cheating on him with [Oh, what was his name... It wasn't nearly as good a book as Icha Icha... but it was in the bookstore and looked interesting...] Lancelot?

[We see what Kakashi took from the story...]

[Video]

[dragneel]

Wha? No way! How come they're not usin' it if they pulled him out?

[ !!! Natsu squints a bit at the book after Kakashi explains it, flipping through the pages. ]

I don't think so......unless I missed that part.

[ flip flip, skim sim. ]

[Video]

[usedforcepalm]

[Oh, ick. Excalibur. Hanabi is on the verge of making a face but manages to hold back the urge.]

Um...if it's the Excalibur I'm thinking of, I'm pretty sure people from Shibusen know how to find him.

[Video]

[dragneel]

Really?? I'm friends with the god of this place, so I can probably ask her. Thanks for the suggestion!

[video]

[blossomgale]

Oh, really? I'll go with you, Natsu.

[video]

[dragneel]

Ya will? Great! Welcome to the team, Sophie.

{ audio }

[comradery]

You're looking for Excalibur, huh? I'm interested in finding out what it's like myself! Count me in!

{ audio }

[dragneel]

Heh! Welcome to the team, then! Ya gonna try and give it a pull?

voice

[weaponry]

The Weapon you're talking about, Excalibur, has been found. In fact, he's in town right this very second. But he's uncooperative, a nuisance, has outrageous demands for his meister, and no one can stand him. They've tried getting rid of him, but, he usually makes his way back here within the month or so. [ Tenten suggested to blast him into the moon. And that didn't work. ]

voice

[dragneel]

Huh? But...

[ he flips through the pages. ]

That doesn't sound like the same guy from the book. You sure?

[video]

[brutalityfetish]

Now what the hell is this?

[He didn't really hear about an Excalibur and the most powerful weapon or whatever.]

If it can win the damn war, why hasn't anybody wielded it yet and just finished off all of these enemies by themselves?

[He wasn't buying this legend.]

[video]

[dragneel]

'cause only the chosen one can wield it! Why else wouldn't they have gotten it? It's probably that no one was worthy of usin' it!

[Video]

[scatterflower]

Hell. No.

[Video]

[dragneel]

Y'don't like quests, Chika?

Voice

[atailoftwoworlds]

A....legendary sword? Hmmm....I guess it can't hurt to take a look. [Guess who hasn't yet been a victim of Excalibur's trolling? XD]

Voice

[dragneel]

[ THIS WILL BE A LEARNING EXPERIENCE FOR THEM BOTH THEN. ]

The book says it's s'posed to make ya a real hero!

[video]

[pathofstrength]

[!!!]

I've been thinkin' jus' the same thing! Such a "legendary", someone has ta have th' spirit ta take on th' challenge!

I'm in!

[video]

[dragneel]

Alright! Bet it'll see that fightin' spirit of yours and be impressed. Think ya got what it takes to be the "chosen one?"

[Video]

[purrinpumpkin]

Hooray! You're really gonna try to find it, huh?~



((OOC: I am glad you're going through with this XDD))

[Video]

[dragneel]

Yeah! When we get it, you'll give me that special tour, right? 'cause you promised!

[ Not that Natsu knows what the "special tour" entails, mind. ]

[ video ]

[perfectorder]

[oh dear God what is WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE—I mean. should he tell them? or should he just let them put an end to this nonsense and let them deal with the consequences?

...]

I haven't seen Excalibur for a few days...[thank God.]...If you want to try and find him, be my guest. Just don't be surprised if he turns out different from what you expect.

[ video ]

[dragneel]

We'll find him and bring him back. I guarantee it! One of us has to be the chosen hero.

[Video]

[leafe_of_light]

It seems... somewhat suspicious. But I believe it is worth the attempt.

[Gives a nod]

You can count on me to join on this search.

[Video]

[dragneel]

Great! I'm plannin' on goin' the day after tomorrow.

[video]

[quibbling]

Are you sure?

[video]

[dragneel]

Yeah. S'what the book says -- unless the cave is somehow in the toilet. But my arm doesn't even fit all the way in there. How're we s'posed to get our whole bodies in it?

[Video]

[hoennmaihime]

[A rueful smile.]

I wish I could go too. It sounds like an awesome adventure! So have double the fun and adventure for me, okay?

[Video]

[dragneel]

Aw, Haruka! How come ya can't come along?

[Video]

[redhairedknight]

Too bad I'm not a meister, then - otherwise, I'd be able to help. [At least, she doesn't think that weapons can wield other weapons - otherwise, there'd be no point.] I'm sure that you, or one of the people going with you, should be able to handle it, though. [...Erza doesn't know how wrong she is on this one.]

[Video]

[dragneel]

You can come along, Erza! Never know what we might run into in the cave, so it'd be good to have a few weapons around.

My partner's goin' too! Ya gotta meet him.
