Fairy Tail - I Choose You!
Part II: S-Class Edition
Prologue
It was a beautiful day in the noisy river town of Magnolia. The sun was shining, the birds were chirping, and all the locals were out and about as they enjoyed the festive air and beautiful weather. Not only was it a very nice day for weather, but this date also held significance to several locals as well. Here we find a very large crowd of fans gathered around the South Gate Park at the center of Magnolia as they all wait in anticipation for a new wave of magical world news.
"Alright everyone, hello and welcome to South Gate Park! I hope everyone is excited for today's event?!"
The crowd surrounded a very large and decorative stage as they all screamed with excitement, and as they cheered a young man gave a lively introduction for today's mysterious event. "Well, I'm glad you're all awake, ahaha. My name is Max Alors, and today me and the gang here at Fairy Tail have something very exciting to present for you, today!"
Standing at center-stage was none other than the very energetic Sand Mage of Fairy Tail, Max Alors. He seemed to be playing the role of today's Master of Ceremony, and also appeared to be getting the crowd very excited for something behind the stage. The Sand Mage gave the crowd time to calm down, and followed up by continuing his introduction. "Now, I know you're all probably tired of seeing my ugly mug already, but don't worry! I'm gonna bring out a few special guest speakers for today's events just to show you what we have planned! Now, please put your hands together for our guests!"
Everyone roared with anticipated yells as Max continued. "First and foremost, our first man of the hour. He's in-charge of running six different companies, and now's he's decided to be a video game creator during his off-time. Please welcome the one and only Nigel Thomas!"
The fans cheered with rambunctious joy as the young mage and CEO of the wealthy A.N.T. Konzern, Nigel Thomas wondered on the stage with a waving hand and a smile on his face. "Hello Magnolia!" The brown haired man known as Nigel shouted with excitement as he sported an all-grey suit with white shirt as he waved to the audience in the park. He seemed overly confident for his new project, despite the fact that this run was only the demo for an otherwise mysterious new game. That being said, the environment of a warm and sunny Magnolia filled with supportive towns folk made him that much more comfortable presenting his long shot of a video game to the public.
Max then continued. "Our next guest is one of Nigel's right hand men in his 'Empire of Commerce.' He is in-charge of personally running Nigel's newest business, Grimm Gaming. Please welcome Jackson J. Grimm!"
This time a tall and rather older looking man with short silver hair walked onto the stage to join Nigel. He sported a dark blue sport jacket with a black shirt underneath that had a turtle neck around the collar. He also wore black slacks and matching black shoes to finish it off. Finally, pinned to the chest pocket of his blazer was a pin logo of Nigel's blanket company, The A.N.T. Konzern. The elder Jackson smiled sternly, and didn't say a word as he only received a moderate applause (due to people not recognizing his name.) He then joined a rather cheery Nigel on stage, and soon after Max continued with his introduction. "Our final guest is a home-grown citizen of Magnolia. You know him as our lovable guild master here at Fairy Tail! Please give it up for our resident member of the Ten Wizard Saints, Makarov Dreyar!"
Fans of Magnolia did not have to be a genius to know this house hold name. Coming out from the right side of the stage was the tiny guild master of Fairy Tail, Makarov Dreyar, sporting his white and gold Ten Wizard Saints jacket. He also added on a very large smile to his outfit as he came out to greet the crowd from his favorite city in the kingdom.
"Ahaha! Hello Magnolia! Good to see you all!" Makarov held a cheery attitude as he walked over to shake the hands of his new acquaintance Jackson, and the newest addition to the town, Nigel.
Max then carried out his speech. "Okay, now that our tiny panel has entered the stage, let's begin our presentation!"
"Pff, look at those losers…I should be out there stanin' right with 'em!"
Standing right behind the left side of stage were several members of the Fairy Tail guild. The one that said those nasty words above was none other than Natsu Dragneel, who appeared to be rather salty with the selection people for of the panel.
"Haha, gee Natsu maybe you should go out there and fight 'em!" Flying over Natsu's shoulder was the horrible influence of a best friend, Happy the Cat, who was now trying to stir up as much chaos as he could.
Natsu growled with excitement. "YEA!? MAYBE I SHOULD…!" He tried taking a single step out from behind the curtain and onto the stage, but just in the nick of time a friendly hand came in and grabbed him from behind.
"NO!" Grabbing Natsu by his arms was none other than Lucy Heartfilia, who up until this point was trying to stay calm just to quell her recent headache from earlier in the day. "NATSU! You have no business going on stage!" Lucy shouted as she tried to hold her friend back. "And Happy why did you have to egg him on all the time!? It's bad enough if only one of you is goofing off!"
"Teehee, I just thought you could use some work, Luuucy! You were startin' ta look bored just sitting there all mopey." Happy giggled into his hands as Lucy sighed and Natsu finally calmed down. Then, another wizard spoke his mind from behind the group at the front.
"Natsu, if you wanna fight later I'd be happy with whipping your face all over the ground when we get off stage, but right now we gotta be quiet." Said a rather pissed off Gray Fullbuster as he stood beside Lucy. The Ice Make wizard tried pulling the curtains apart just to get his own view of curiosity. "Now, I wonder how many people there are out…"
"OH NO YOU DON'T!" Lucy grabbed Gray by the collar and yanked him back in before he could cause any more trouble.
"Bahahaha! Lucy told you, Ice-Boy!" Natsu started laughing as Gray jumped in his face.
"Look Flame Brain I don't need your loud mouth yappin' in my ear right now!"
Lucy was about to give up. "Oh god please just send someone to help me deal with these two idiots…" She prayed to a god that clearly didn't exist, and her "Help" finally arrived.
"LOVE RIVAL!" Juvia Lockster ran in, but completely ignored Natsu and Gray just to scold Lucy for dragging Gray back into the back stage area. "HOW DARE YOU LAY A FINGER ON MY SWEET PRINCE, YOU UNTAMED TROLL!
Lucy sighed as Juvia had her by the collar. "Eh…I should probably just go home."
As all the colorful Fairies were enjoying their time back stage, we finally return to the main event. Nigel now held the mic as the crowd died down to hear his further announcements. "Okay now I know we have a pretty big crowd right now, but don't worry. What we plan to do won't be held here on stage…Instead it will occur right behind you all in our state-of-the-art home base system right here in South Gate Park!"
The crowd roared as Nigel pointed to a set-up of large tables and computers sitting right behind them near the base of the large Sola Tree. Nigel then nudged his business partner, Jackson, in the side of his arm as he spoke without the mic. "Okay, let's go give these guys the real show."
Jackson grinned with amusement. "Lead the way, Nigel. I'm very excited to show you what our team has to off..."
"AHHHH YOU BASTARD!"
Nigel and Jackson jumped to turn around as Natsu, Gray, and now Gajeel Redfox for some reason barreled through the backstage curtains and began fighting right in front of the crowd. "GYAH! NEXT TIME WARN ME WHEN SALAMANDER'S LOOKIN FOR A FIGHT!" Gajeel tried shouting back to Lucy and the others as Natsu and Gray delivered several heavy punches to his side abdomen.
Nigel lost his cool and immediately laughed uncontrollably, while Jackson cocked one of his eye brows and failed to see any humor in the action. Meanwhile, Makarov simply rolled his eyes and face-palmed with the usual shame and embarrassment.
"Morons…"
As the stage crew and the crowd finally made it around the computer set-up, and after our rowdy Fairies finally cleaned up their attitudes; we come to find Nigel once again holding the microphone.
"Okay, now I know you all know why we're here…to unveil the brand-new sequel to our chart-topping video game Pokémon 3D!"
The crowd roared with impatience in their voice as Makarov whispered under his breath. "Gah, what a silly name…" He laughed as he rolled his eyes and listened to Nigel continue his explanation.
"Okay, now I know you all enjoyed playing the first game, yourselves…and I also heard that you really enjoyed the released demo clips from our company's tester-trial of the first game as well…" He then turned and looked to the crowd of now-revealed Fairies, and gave the protagonist of the previous game, Lucy Heartfilia, a sarcastic nod.
"Hmph…" Lucy growled and crossed her arms as she tried repressing the awful experience she held inside of virtual reality during her play through of the original Pokémon Game.
Nigel continued. "Well today we plan on giving you a simple demonstration of our latest state-of-the-art lacrima technology that sends real-life people right into the game, without any hassle whatsoever! We plan on utilizing our small window of time to show you the example of our Battle Sequence in which you the players can over take the roll of either Pokémon trainers or Pokémon themselves just to fight one another!"
Nigel then pointed to a large metal square room that looked like a box without a lid had tipped over onto its side. "Now, we have also replaced our out-of-date transfer pods, and brought in or new revolutionary teleporter box! Once all of our contestants are safely inside, we at the monitors will be able to beam them into cyber space and prep them for a gameplay feature full of fun and excitement!"
Everyone lost their minds as Nigel carried on. "As we present our demonstration, and if you're a really good crowd…we may even provide a sneak-peak at the new open-world story mode that now features virtual reality game-play mixed with Massive Multiplayer Online technologies!"
Nigel quickly went to his next step before the crowd lost it all. "Now…we introduce the testers…Thanks to Master Makarov Dreyar, we will now send a team of six Fairies into the game to fight 3 on 3! Only this group won't be made up of any regular Fairies…today we would like to welcome to the stage the legendary S-Class Wizards of Fairy Tail!"
"The what!?" Lucy and the others gasped as she heard S-Class. "What's he thinking!?"
"Yea…I want in that group of losers…" Natsu pouted as he sat behind Lucy and turned away from the display.
"Okay…" Nigel continued over the intercom. "Our first two wizards had the privilege of experiencing the demo of our last game...please welcome the legendary Miss Titania herself, Erza Scarlett! Followed by the mysterious recluse of Fairy Tail, Mystogan!" Fans screamed as Erza Scarlet and Jellal Fernandes (disguised as his Edolas counterpart) entered the view and walked over to the computers. Erza made sure to greet the crowd with a smile and wave, while Jellal limited his interactions altogether and turned his face away from anyone's view.
From there Nigel went down the list. "Our next group make up a new batch of testers, please welcome the loveliest Takeover Mage you will ever meet, Mirajane Strauss! And with her is the infamous Lightning Dragon Slayer, Laxus Dreyar!"
"Oh my! This looks like it'll be fun after all!" The kind and loving Mirajane came into view with a beaming face and giggling voice as she waved her hand for the crowd. She was also being followed by the rather impatient Laxus right on her tail. Laxus kept his arms crossed, and never gave her a response as he continued to look forward.
"Now, our final selections include the most dangerous Fairy there is. He is the demi-god himself, the legendary Crash Mage and Ace of Fairy Tail, please welcome the one and only...Gildart Clive!"
"Sheesh. He's such a dork…" The Guild's drinking buddy, and longtime alcoholic Cana Alberona rolled her eyes as she held a flask of wine and leaned on her friend Levy McGarden's shoulder.
Levy grinned awkwardly as she was forced to accept the gesture. "Yea, he is, isn't he…?"
Gildarts now entered the view and smiled to the crowd. "Gee, thanks Nigel! This better be worth my time!" The Crash Mage laughed as he looked at the young CEO.
Nigel timidly laughed back. "Ah, why wouldn't be?...Now our final guest! Ah…ahem…well…" He awkwardly paused as he bent down and looked to Makarov. "Wait, you don't have any more S-Class Wizards, do you?"
Makarov looked troubled. "No, the other idiots all failed their trials back on Tenrou…"
"OHHH! PICK ME NIGEL!" Natsu could tell he needed one more person, and now stood on top of Lucy's shoulders as he desperately yelled out to his good friend from the previous game.
"AGH GET OFF ME, RIGHT NOW!" Lucy shouted with rage as she tried throwing her fiery friend off.
Meanwhile, Nigel turned away to ignore his fiery acquaintance. "Ahehe, right…now who can I really get to go in…?"
Nigel scanned the audience of every Fairy Tail mage standing right before him as he thought to himself quietly. Then, a tiny light bulb flashed inside his brain. "Wait…she use to be an S-Class Mage at her former guild…" After a minute of internal deliberation, Nigel confidently made his decision.
"JUVIA LOCKSTER! COME ON DOWN!" Nigel yelled with gusto as he pointed at the frail and timid Water Mage who use to be an S-Class member of the Phantom Lord Guild's Element 4. She was also too busy hiding behind her beloved, Gray to fully follow the memo.
"Oh, but I-I can't…I hate the idea of leaving my Sugar Bear here all alone!" Juvia pleaded with mercy as she clutched tightly onto Gray's arm.
Gray rolled his eyes. "Sugar-what? Just get out there Juvia, Nigel's counting on ya!"
Juvia stepped up after being nudged by Gray, and waded through a crowd of cheering fans. However, she still looked troubled. "Oh dear, I can't keep up with all these S-Class mages!? I don't know what to do…what if I fail to compete while my darling Gray watches on the sidelines?" She panicked in her mind as she joined her fellow Fairies inside a large metal box.
Erza smiled as Juvia made it over. "Ah I must say, Nigel made a wise decision by selecting you to join our cause."
Mira smiled and added on as well. "Awe! I agree! I'm so glad to see you made the cut, Juvia!"
"Tsk, yea just keep your water inside that body, alright?" Laxus looked away and gave Juvia a friendly (believe it or not) warning as he rolled his eyes.
Nigel then carried out his explanation. "Okay, now that all my S-Class wizards are in place, I now need one more Fairy to step up and volunteer to join our crew as the in-game official. Any takers, hmm?...Miss Lucy, care to defend your title?"
"Hehe, funny…" Lucy hissed as she instantly turned away. "I wouldn't be caught dead returning to that virtual death trap. In fact, I'm not sure why anyone would willing choose to return to…"
"OHHH THIS IS SO MINE!" Natsu shoved Lucy straight to the ground as he barreled though the other people and ran right for the large metal box containing all the S-Class wizards.
"Agh, calm down Natsu. You know this isn't worth it…" Gildarts sighed as he stood inside the teleporter and tried bracing for Natsu's impact.
"HA! I'LL SHOW YOU, YA OLD GEEZER!" Natsu grinned and ignited his hands as he charged for an attack on Gildarts. "FIRE DRAGON IRON FIST!"
"GYAH, DAMN IT NATSU!" Laxus began charging with electric volts of his own as Natsu barreled in hot for his entrance into the metal box. Yet as the two wizards met fists, the game's creator shouted with ferocious anger.
"NO!" Nigel cried out with panic. "YOU DUMB ASSES CAN'T USE MAGIC INSIDE THE…!"
*BLAST*
Sadly, Nigel was too late. As Natsu stepped foot inside the box, he and Laxus's magic sparked just enough fuses to short-circuit the machine, and teleported all the players straight into the game without any notice or warning. As their bodies disappeared and the machine sizzled and smoked, Nigel fell to the ground with a look of defeat on his face, and Jackson Grimm shook his head with disapproval.
Finally, Master Makarov gabbed the mic that rolled away from Nigel's hand and smiled to the crowd.
"Well, looks like our first show is officially over! Now stay tuned to see our cyber-magician Nigel here zap the Fairies right back into our world!"
Angry Fans: "Wait, you lied and said this has Pokemon! THERE WERE NO POKEMON, ANYWHERE!?"
Me: "Guys...chill, I got this."
First and foremost, apologies if this looks like a super long opening note, but it is a sequel, so some extra info may help you enjoy the story. Now, I must go ahead and say because this is A SEQUEL...I highly suggest visiting my page to read it's predecessor mentioned above (or not, I can't really force you to do that...but as a fair warning I may gloss over most of the detailed explanations that were mentioned in the last story.) It also may be safe to admit that this story may hold spoilers for its predecessor, so proceed with caution. Finally, this story will probably contain some original characters, and one specific character that found himself in the prequel, but don't worry! He's not that hard to follow if you just choose to either read this or the prequel!
Anyway whether or not you're a fan of my previous work (especially my first FTxPoke story) or if you've discovered me for the very first time, I ask that you please sit back, relax and enjoy my story!
...But again if you're new to the series then I'll explain:
The prequel story involved Lucy getting stuck inside a game created by Nigel Thomas's company titled Pokemon 3D (in reality it happens to be our version of Pokemon X&Y) However, it was actually a computer game where Lucy and her friends were taken into the Poke world and forced to beat the game in order to escape. Also, Lucy was the only human in the game, and Natsu, Gray, Juvia, Erza, Wendy, Gajeel, and Jellal all got trapped and became her Pokemon for the adventure.
Now, this story involves a "similar" plot, except it features the S-Class mages of Fairy Tail getting stuck in the game instead, and Natsu as their head man. Also, instead of being set in the games Pokemon X&Y, this story is based on Pokemon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire (Yes, for both the original story and this new story I used my versions of the games in real life, created Lucy and Natsu as characters on each one, and played through them with these specific Pokemon to produce my source material for writing the story. If it happens in the story chances are I performed it in the game. If not I'll provide a story or explanation in all my closing notes for each chapter.) Finally, it also has a bigger, extra plot line later on...but no spoilers, we'll get to that down the road (I'll also provide an extra header note tomorrow, too. I really hope you enjoyed this preview! I will do my very best to upload a new chapter each day! Thanks, and I'll see you around!
