I suddenly came up with this story. It's intended to be a short one and completed after five chapters.
The story is set between the Edolas Arc and the Tenrou Arc.
Disclaimer: I do not own Fairy Tail or any of its characters.
Chapter 0: Prologue
EDOLAS – Two years ago
When she awoke in Edolas, Lisanna saw Fairy Tail, and was surprised. "The guild?" she wondered entering the building in form of a tree. She soon figured out that everyone was slightly different, but at least everyone she knew was there. The members welcomed her heartily assuming that she was the Lisanna from Edolas. Unable to say the truth, she finally decided to stay with her new friends and family.
In a moment no one else was around, a young, rather small and a bit chubby man with short, brown hair and brown eyes approached her. "Lisanna, you are back?!" he greeted her with a facial expression mixed of surprise and happiness.
"Yeah." Lisanna replied friendly but confused. She was sure that she didn't know this guy from Earthland – at least he hadn't been a member of Fairy Tail there.
Her reply made his expression change immediately. "Wh-who are you?!" he wanted to know shocked. "You look like Lisanna and your character is similar to her – but you are not the Lisanna I know!" he revealed.
The young man introduced himself as Johann Schmidt. In Edolas he was a close friend of Lisanna. Lisanna decided to tell him her story. Regarding the feelings of his friends Mira and Elfman, Johann agreed to keep her true identity a secret for the moment.
"What are you going to do now?" Lisanna wanted to know before he left.
"I'm going to find the Lisanna I know." he responded determined. "If you are here, she is probably in that world, where you came from. I promise that when we return, I will help you to return to your home as well. Please take care of Mira and Elfman for the time."
These were the last words, Lisanna would ever hear from him. The same day, Johann died attempting to use an already closing Anima in order to get to Earthland. Under normal circumstances this would be the tragic end of his story – but well, it wasn't…

EARTHLAND – Present
All magic had been transferred from Edolas to Earthland and Lisanna was finally allowed to return to her original friends and family as well. A few days after the events she went on a mission together with Mira and Elfman.

[One night at Magnolia]
Even after the dissolving of his guild 'Phantom Lord', Sol – former member of 'Element Four' – hadn't given up on working as mage. This time he had returned from a mission pretty late. There was no one around in the streets anymore and the atmosphere was starting to become more and more frightening. Unidentifiable noises from here and there were adding to his unease.
After walking for while he was sure that a shadow was following him. He increased the speed but the mysterious person was keeping up. He decided to confront his follower and turned around in a quick motion. "Who are you? And why are following me?" he wanted to know.
The mysterious person didn't reply but stopped its movement as well. By keeping the distance between them, it was impossible to identify who it was.
After not receiving any reply, Sol was sure that his follower bore ill-will towards him. So he attacked first: "Platre Sonata!" he created a giant fist from plaster attempting to punch the opponent. But the attack missed and the follower was nowhere to be seen. "What? Where…?" Sol was confused while looking around. He couldn't detect the person anymore.
Sol was about to move on but suddenly felt a threatening aura from above. Looking upwards he detected the mysterious person on the rooftop of the house next to him. "How did you…?!" In that moment the moon reappeared from behind the clouds and the light allowed Sol to identify his follower. "What? You?" he stammered surprised. "You should be dead…" he couldn't finish the sentence because his opponent jumped down from the roof charging at him.
"Non-Non-NON-NON!" his louder getting pleas could be heard from almost every corner in Magnolia. "IAAAHHHHH!"

The next morning Natsu, Lucy and Happy were arriving at Magnolia. They had been on a mission but apparently weren't content with the results.
"This mission was far too easy." Natsu complained.
"You have to talk!" Lucy replied angrily. "Nevertheless, the reward was reduced because you destroyed parts the client's house."
"But we accomplished the task, didn't we?" according to Natsu's opinion it was sufficient to do the job.
"No, I mean, couldn't you try to keep an eye on your surroundings next time?" Lucy objected. "Then, defeating your opponent would be far more challenging and exciting."
"Hm, this rather sounds complicated and boring." the dragonslayer replied.
"Happy! Can't you at least support me a bit?" Lucy turned to the blue cat.
Happy didn't seem to have any interest to partake in the conversation. He was bothered by the strange behavior of the town's citizens around them. There was a lot of talking and most of them were nervous, distressed and some even scared.
"Attack?" Lucy wondered repeating the word she had heard from a conversation.
"There must have been frightening incident in Magnolia last night." Happy concluded. "Apparently a mage had been attacked and almost killed."
But the team's attention was soon caught by another occurrence. Lisanna was passing the street right in front of them.
"Lisanna?" Natsu called after her but she didn't notice them.
"I thought she is on a mission with Mira and Elfman?" Lucy wondered. "They shouldn't have returned yet."
"Hey, Lisanna!" Happy was flying over to her.
"Kyahhh!" the white haired girl got frightened seeing the blue, flying cat as if she wouldn't know Happy.
Natsu and Lucy went to her as well. "What's wrong, Lisanna?" Natsu wondered.
"Who is Lisanna?" the white haired girl replied confused.
