As soon as she realized the boy next to her was moving to get a closer look, Lucy followed. She had no idea what kind of fighting style he used, but she knew that having someone to watch her back was better than having no one. While they may not have been friends, they were at least acquainted which was better than what she could say for everyone else present. Besides, there was no way she was going into a boss room alone. That was just crazy.

When they finally reached the ranting man, Lucy took a moment to wonder at his sanity. Everything he said made sense, and really she did understand him, but now he was rhyming? It was a little weird. In fact, everything he did was weird. First he was screaming names, then he charged the guards, then he gives this whole long speech. Lucy was pretty sure he was having a break from reality, not that she blamed him. Plenty of people had lost their minds due to the stress of possibly dying every day. Regardless, he had a point. They needed to get this raid done, and they needed to do it now while they still could.

As the two stepped into the boss room, Lucy looked over at the boy that she didn’t know the name of and held up her large sword. “You watch my back, and I’ll watch yours? I don’t really have enough speed to dodge, so if I don’t see somethin’ comin’ I’m a goner. There ain’t no way I’m dying today. Besides, I’m pretty sure this thing trumps whatever you got.”
