The Black Dragon let out a mighty roar, as it fired a blast out of its mouth.
"Brace yourselves, everyone. If we die, we die together!" Makarov yelled as he and the twenty other mages of Fairy Tail joined hands, realizing it was near hopeless.
It was at this point two things happend to a certain blonde. First a spell called Fairy Sphere was cast by the spirit of the First Guild Master of Fairy Tail. Mavis Vermillion intended to freeze the Guild in a protective statis bubble until such time that it was safe to lower the field. Second, at this same time The Celestial Spirit King attampted to forcibly pull Lucy Heartfilia into the spirit world to at least save her. These two simultaneous uses of space and time distortion magic not only canceled each other out, but also caused an unintended third rift in dimensional space to occur.
While the other members of the Guild Vanished just as the blast hit. Lucy stayed for a split second. Long enough for the blast to strike dead center. There was barely enough time for her to scream as her clothes, and hair were burned away followed by her skin cooking like she was thrown on a hotplate. Then pure nothing registered in her brain as that was the last Lucy would remember experiencing in Earthland for a long time.
(Kouh, Japan, Earth)
"Five, Six, Seven." A redheaded young woman with a nigh-impossible bust was currently inserting red pawn chess pieces into a young man with brown hair who had a hole in his chest where his heart was. Said wound was rapidly closing as the seventh piece was inserted. "Only seven?" Rias Gremory asked. "One of the Pieces must have mutated, you certainly are a lucky man Issei." She said ruffling his hair as he was still out cold.
Then a loud crackling noise drew her attention as a magic circle appeared in the air not too far away and deposited a badly burned corpse on the ground. From what Rias could see she was female, age of late teens, no clothes, or hair, just a whip, and a set of keys around the body. "What the hell happend to you?" Rias asked as she investigated. Her brain was telling her to leave this body, it was none of her concern, but still... It had gotten here via some sort of magic phenomenon. It was her duty to investigate.
A gargled gasp emitted from the body made her jump. She was still alive! Rias considered all of her options, no one could better explain what happened than the girl herself, but by the time she got her somewhere to heal her, she would succumb to her burns. There was only one option.
"You're probably not going to like this." She said pressing her final Pawn piece into her back. "But it's better than dying alone in this street." She said, teleporting the blonde with her via a magic circle after picking up the whip and keyring. Arriving in her bedroom, first she hefted the blonde onto her bed taking great care not to peel the crusty skin off her body. She shivered at the thought of having to touch such disgusting wounds, but she knew she had no choice. Stripping away garment after garment, she got on her cell phone making calls to Akeno, Kiba, and Koneko explaining the situation, and telling them to meet her at her house before school in the morning, she shed her last remains of clothing and curled up with the woman concentrating her healing magic into the body.
Lucy groaned as she slowly blinked awake. Feeling something warm and soft and fleshy pressed against her back. "Uhhhh Erza, what did I tell you about getting in bed with me." She let out as she turned around getting a faceful of breasts... Impossibly huge ones. Totally not like the ones Erza had. "Wait wha?" She then realized she was not in her bedroom, and the woman in question was not Erza, or anyone she knew, and that they were both buck naked.
Rias was jolted from her sleep by a loud shriek as the blonde fell off the side of the bed. "Well, good morning to you too, stranger. Nice to meet you, my name is Rias Gremory. I understand you have a lot of questions."
"Damn right I do you pervert!" Lucy cried covering herself. "What is going on?! Where am I?! What happend to- Oh god Natsu, Erza, everyone!" She cried in horror as she remembered what happened. "Where are my friends!? Where are the rest of Fairy Tail?!"
"Calm down. Calm down." Rias said standing up and attempting to assuage her guest. "You somehow showed up in front of me last night. You were badly burned and on the verge of death. I brought you here to heal you. This is my house in Kuoh, Japan. As for your friends… I don't know, you're the only one I saw come out the magic circle. I don't know what Fairy Tail is."
"What do you mean you don't know what Fairy Tail is, it's the most famous Guild in all of Fiore, and what the hell is Japan? I've never heard of it."
"Well, that goes double for me and Fiore. There is something else you need to know. In order to keep you alive long enough to heal, I had to transform you into a stronger form." She said unfurling her wings. "In case it isn't obvious, I am a Devil, and you have been reincarnated as one of my servants."
Lucy froze at the sight of her wings, and even more at what she said. "No... You're lying. I'm not your servant, I am a proud mage of Fairy Tail. No one can control us!" She yelled spotting her whip and keys on the nightstand. She quickly reached for them. Only to find a sword at her neck.
"Please do not resist, hear us out." A blond prettyboy said.
"Kiba." Rias said sighing in relief. "You got here just in time."
"Yeah, Madame President." Kiba said turning his head to her. "Sorry I was not here soon- IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEE!" He was cut off as Lucy used his momentary distraction to lash out and smash her calf into his groin. Dropping both his sword, and to his knees, the dashing young man clenched his family jewels in agony. Seizing the distraction, Lucy eagerly dashed past him grabbing her whip, and her keys from the nightstand, dashing towards the window.
"Open, Gate of the Lion, Leo!" She yelled grabbing one key in a flash of light.
(Outside)
The tall busty raven haired Akeno, and the short, underdeveloped white haired Koneko were at the front door about to invite themselves in.
*CRASH!* Only to be distracted by the bedroom window of Rias' house shattering as an orange haired man in a suit and sunglasses burst out, carrying a stark naked blonde in her arms. In an instant both sprung to action bolting after the pair as they landed on the ground. They were inches away when the suit wearing man took off with near inhuman speed.
"After her, she doesn't know anything about this world!" Rias yelled out the window having thrown on a shirt quickly. Koneko, Akeno, and Kiba quickly took off after the running figure. "Dammit!" Rias cried in frustration as she ran to get dressed. "This is out of control! We're gonna need some help on this one!" She said, trying to make a phone call. "This is way beyond my ability to solve on my own, maybe he can explain this better than I can... Oh hello, I'm sorry to bother you at a time like this, but I need help bad." She said with a grimace.
(Back with Lucy)
The blonde was let down in an ally behind a warehouse. "Thanks Loke, now I need some clothes. Open Gate of the Maiden, Virgo." She declared.
"Punishment, Hime?" The pink-haired maid spirit asked as she appeared next to Lucy.
"No, just get me some clothes, fast." She said as Virgo vanished only to reappear seconds later. "Here." She said handing the blonde some strange garment. It looked like a kimono, but with a skirt-like bottom half instead of a robe. She quickly put on the standard underwear followed by the dress over her head. With a sigh she then slipped her feet into the high-heel pumps Virgo also provided,
"Not stuff I usually wear, but thanks." Lucy said as Virgo returned to the spirit world. "Okay, now I need to figure out exactly where I am." She said walking back into the streets. "This is weird. The machines, the buildings, it's not like Fiore at all? I don't get it."
"Then please return with us. You will not be harmed." Kiba said appearing by the wall of the building.
"You! Stay away from me!" Lucy cried reaching for her keys only to be grabbed from behind by Koneko.
"Do not struggle, we don't want to fight." She said emotionlessly.
"Well maybe I do!" Lucy cried in desperation slamming her stilletted heel into the tiny girl's instep. Koneko refused to scream, but her grip was still loosened enough for Lucy to slip away and grab another key. "Open Gate-" But in a flash the blue haired mermaid spirit Aquarius was already there.
"What did I tell you about summoning me!" She yelled swinging her vase at the blonde. *SWOOSH!* a large sudden and fast tidal wave sent Kiba, and Koneko crashing against the building. "Serves you right you brat- Huh where did she go?!" The spirit asked herself looking around, the blonde was not washed up with the other two... Then she looked up. "Oh you little-" She huffed returning to the spirit world.
"This is insane... I'm flying! I can't be flying!" Lucy cried as she awkwardly flailed in the air to move around. Then she noticed the batlike wings jutting out her lower back. "No... I... She wasn't lying... I really am a..."
"I'm afraid so." a voice said behind her as Lucy turned to see a beautiful dark haired woman with a huge bust. "Please don't panic. I won't attack you, or restain you. I just want to talk." She said. "Nice dress by the way."
Lucy recoiled a bit. "I... I don't know what this is? I don't understand why everything... Everyone." She said tears beginning to form as she began to fall. This was just too much.
"No, you don't!" Akeno said grabbing the faint feeling blonde before she could plummet further than a few feet. "We'll sort this out together, just trust me. My friends didn't know how to talk you down is all." She said landing by Kiba, and Koneko, as Rias appeared in a magic circle alongside a silver haired woman in a maid outfit.
"Is that the mage?" The elegant maid asked.
"Yes. She is." Rias said as the woman came up to Lucy leaning in and looking her in the face, making the blonde shyly hug the nice brunette closer, almost like a child.
"Hello young one. My name is Greyfia Lucifage. Can you tell me your name?"
Lucy blushed realizing she was being a child and pulled away from the brunette. "My name is Lucy Heartfilia."
"Why don't we go somewhere and sit down for awhile. I'm sure there is a lot we need to discuss." She said holding out her hand for the blonde.
"Okay, not like I have much of a choice." She said with a reserved smile, as she slowly shook her hand.
"So... Let me see if I have this all down so far..." Lucy began as she and Greyfia sat alone in Rias' living room, her "master" and fellow servants having left to go to something called school. "You're telling me the Christian version of God, Angels, and Devils exist, and that there was a three-way war between those two sides, and the fallen angels."
"That is right." Greyfia said handing her another cup of tea.
"And in order to recoup your losses, you reincarnate other species into Devils with magic chess pieces. Turning them into essentially your slaves." She asked sipping her tea.
"Yes, though the Gremory household have been raised to regard their peerages as more than that. More like family." She said. "In that respect, you are quite lucky to have been found by Rias." She said sitting back down.
"With all due respect, Ms. Lucifage, I don't feel lucky that I was made effectively a slave to someone without even the ability let alone the opportunity to consent." Lucy said, more than a bit irked. "Okay, now you need to explain to me why I'm here, where is this Japan place, and how do I get back to Fiore?"
"Fiore... Such an unusual name for a country." Greyfia mused. "Tell me Lucy, what is the name of the world Fiore is located in?"
"Earthland, what does tha-" It dawned on Lucy. "Oh... No. No! Nonononono no! I did not, I can not! I'm... Stuck in another world again?!"
"Again?" She asked tilting her head.
"Yeah I was in another world, and I couldn't use magic, and a lot of stuff happend." She said in a panic. "If I almost... Oh god..." She began sobbing. "Natsu, Grey, Erza, Wendy... My friends... They're all dead by now!" She let out crying hysterically. "No! No! This isn't! fair! I can't lose them I can't!" She cried.
"Do not panic... They... Not dead." A voice rang in what sounded like broken static. "Fairy Sphere suspended them... Frozen... Couldn't... You... I'm sorry."
"Wait, that voice. Mavis!? what do you mean.?" Lucy cried as a faint breaking up image of a barefooted blond girl in pink and white robes with wings in her hair appeared before her.
"... Do not despair... in time... see them... can't maintain contact..." And then she was gone.
"Interesting… she was able to breach the barrier between Earth, and Earthland to make communication with you. She must be a powerful mage with a strong bond to be able to do that." Greyfia said looking over the area she had once been standing with curiousity
"That was Mavis Vermillion. The first Guild Master of Fairy Tail, of course she was powerful enough." She said with more than a hint of pride. "What do you mean by a barrier?"
"Long ago, before even the great war." Greyfia began. "There was a conflict between God, and the Earthland god of life and death Ankhseram. The former thought the later was too harsh on those residing in his domain. The latter thought the former was too lenient. They came to blows when Ankhseram attempted to cross into this world to pass judgment on the mortals here. In the end God could not slay Ankhseram, so he had no choice but to hurl him back into Earthland, and erect a powerful barrier between it, Earth, Heaven, and the Underworld. To ensure he could never overstep his bounds again."
"So that is why Christianity is so obscure in Fiore." Lucy mused feeling a bit bad, while she never believed in God (especially after her mother died), she'd heard all the stories about Christians being persecuted, imprisoned, even executed for their faith, and always felt bad for them. "So you're saying, even if I was not bound by this service, I couldn't return to my world." Lucy said as a new wave of depression, and hopelessness filled her heart. "I... I think I need to lay down for awhile." She said resigned and broken a tad as she padded up the stairs to one of the guest bedrooms.
Greyfia sighed with resignation as she collected the teacups for washing. "Poor girl." She said.
"You will not harm this young man. I have converted him into one of my servants, and to harm him is an act of war against the Devil House of Gremory." Rias declared to the fallen angel who wisely backed off. "And he got hurt again. Lovely." Rias sighed hefting the barely conscious Issei up. "Akeno, I'm going to take Issei back to his place for healing. Would you be a dear, and go check on Lucy before you head home. I'm probably gonna be gone for the night." She said.
"Sure thing Madame President. I'll let you have your fun." She teased. The redhead simply scoffed as she walked away. Akeno smiled and made her way back to Rias' place. She stepped inside to find Greyfia cleaning up. "Good timing, you have shown up. She's up in the guest bedroom. She's been in a depressed state for most of the evening." Greyfia said relaying the information she had gained.
"So she is from Earthland. No wonder she is so confused, this is an alien world to her, but how did she end up here in the first place?" Akeno said sighing sadly.
"As far as I can tell it has to do with her magic mixing with some other attempt to distort time, and space." Greyfia said as she stepped onto a magic circle. "Now... I must return and relay this information to Sirzechs. He and the other Devil Kings will want all the details on this as soon as possible." She said. "Oh, and Ms. Himejima... Be gentle with her. She's had a rough enough day as is." She said teleporting away.
"I will." She said resigned as she walked up to Lucy's room, knocking on the door. "Lucy... It's Akeno... The one who caught you when you fell earlier... Can I come in?"
"Yeah." A meek reply came from the other side of the door. Akeno entered and found Lucy laying face down on the bed.
"Hey. I heard about what you found out." She said moving beside her and sitting on the bed. Gently rubbing her back. "I'm sorry. This is a lot to take in, I know."
"My friends... My guild... Even if they are still alive, I'll never see them again." She cried into the pillow.
"Please, you don't know that for sure." Akeno said. "I mean you aren't supposed to be here to begin with. Maybe there is a way to get back for you. Don't give up hope yet. Besides Rias will gladly let you see your friends, we may be devils, but we're not monsters." She said trying to soothe her.
"You... Really mean it?" She asked pulling away and looking her in the eyes.
"You bet, you're part of our family now Lucy... We take care of our own." She said hugging her. Lucy for her part said nothing. Relaxing in her embrace until she finally dozed off and went to sleep.
*sigh* "Looks like I'm not getting much sleep either." She said smiling warmly as she eased her way into the bed still holding the blonde. "Sleep tight our lovely little magic pawn."
(End Of Chapter 1)
Well that was fun trying out. Just so you guys know this won't be a harem fic, or at least harem's won't play any significant part. The Pairings I have so far are Lucy x Akeno, and Issei x Asia x Rias. Anyone and anything else is up in the air. I know a fair number of people don't like Issei, and while I don't nessesarily blame them. I still prefer him over other heroes of shonen manga because well... The story doesn't excuse his flaws. He's treated as an annoying pervert by most of the cast because on the surface, that is exactly what he is. It's only after he proves himself to be more than just some creep that people begin to accept him as a person, and care for him in spite of his flaws. Yeah his whole "I want a harem" dream is messed up, but you ever notice how a lot of the writers who bash him for that dream have no problems given their pet character a harem of their own, which is fine, if you don't like Issei, I cannot force you, but don't be hypocritical about it.
Sorry I was going off on a tangent again. I don't want to alienate my readers by making them think I'm a jerk. You write what you wanna write, and I'll write what I wanna see. I'm done shaking trees and starting fights over fanfics I don't like. I've learned that if I wanna see more of a certain pairing or premise, I gotta work to make it happen myself. Well that's all from me for now. Hope you enjoyed the story, and I'll see you with the next chapter.
