Natsu woke up a bit later, pretty groggy. He still had the smell of feet in his nose. The whole time he was sleeping, he had dreams of the girls in the guild rubbing their feet on his face. As he opened his eyes, he saw something that horrified him, Erza and Lucy looking straight at him. He noticed he couldn't move an inch. Erza began, "Don't bother, I had Milliana put one of her binding spells around you. You're completely immobile. I also had Cheria use her air magic to put a spell on you, whenever the smell of feet is in the area, an air bubble will form around your head, only allowing foot odor in. Natsu was confused, he expected this from Erza, but Lucy too? When did she get on board with this torture. Lucy began speaking, "Natsu...look, Erza told me everything, how you were our insoles, how you smelled our feet for 7 years straight, the contract with Mavis, everything." Natsu opened his eyes wide, "PLEASE! LUCY! YOU GOTTA HELP ME! THESE PEOPLE ARE CRAZY! GET ME OUTTA HERE! NO MORE FEET!" Lucy had a slight frown on her face, as if she pitied Natsu because there was something he didn't understand. She continued, "Listen Natsu...I thought so too at first, but then Erza explained it all to me. It makes sense now. You never really contributed to the guild. Always destroying stuff. And look, you cost us 2 matches, 20 points in the competition. How much use are you really? When you were our insoles, we were performing exceptionally well. It was like walking on clouds. Plus we never had stinky feet. You served so much more purpose when you were our insoles. Don't you understand Natsu? You belong under our feet."
Natsu began crying. How did that even make sense he thought? How could she possible believe that? Lucy finally finished her thought as Erza got up to lock the door, "Look Natsu, this is GOING to happen. Sorry, but if we want you under your feet, that's where you'll be." Erza and Lucy sat down on either side of the bed where the 3 inch Natsu was laying. They began tugging at their boots. Finally, pulling them off with a suction sound, they placed their feet on both sides of Natsu and slowly brought them closer to his body. The stench that filled the room was unbelievable. It was so thick it was almost liquid like. It was like rotten moldy cheesy stench mixed with a typical sweaty smelly feet stench. Lucy and Erza just held their feet there for a bit, letting Natsu take it all in. All he could see was their sweat dripping soles on either side of him, it covered his field of vision. He was still crying. There was no hope. The last thing he remembered before he passed out was being encompassed in foot flesh. It was like he temporarily existed in a world of pure feet. Not just any feet, but sweaty stinky feet.
When Natsu awoke again, both Erza and Lucy were gone. He wondered if it was a dream, but he could see that it wasn't. He clearly smelled their foot stench on him. It was just breaking dawn, but Natsu was still immobile. He wondered how long the spell would last. He wondered if they planned on continuing the spell so that he would never be able to make the matches and end up losing. Just then, the door slightly opened. Natsu didn't think things could get any worse, but there, in walks Flare Corona.
