Everybody… IT'S FINALLY TIME FOR MY 20TH STORY ON FANFICTION! I know a lot of you folks are excited about this, so I'll try to be brief on the details behind the story. First off, Fairy Tail is amazing. It's one of the only anime series I still currently watch and I'm greatly inspired by it. When I first picked Natsu to be one of the first ten members for the Omni Force, I hadn't watched the series all that much, and didn't really have a good understanding of it. But thanks to looking back at the manga and other fanfiction stories, I've got a general idea of the series.
Secondly, the idea was too good to pass up since I've loved pairing Omni Force members with some members of Fairy Tail, inspired by stories such as "Ultimate Fairy" and "Fairy Tail: Omniverse Invasion". So many scenarios for battles and pairings popped into my head, and I couldn't just leave them be!
This story is going to be eight chapters, like "Resolve", and will be worked on during February and March. Also, all chapters will feature a Q&A session, and the first four will include scenario battles provided by SpiritReaper42, while the remaining chapters will have sneak peeks of my future stories.
So without further ado, let's visit the world of Fairy Tail in "Visitors"!
VISITORS
The morning sun shone brightly over the small town of Magnolia as a few rays of light poked through a two-story building's upper window in between the curtains. Inside, a sleeping young woman with long blonde hair was lying on the plush surface of her bed, concealed by her covers as a smile graced her lips. The luminosity that emerged between the curtains then reached her closed eyes, causing them to stir a little.
"Ugh…" she groaned groggily, pushing the covers off of herself as she sat up, revealing her white shirt and pink sweatpants, "Ah…" she yawned, stretching her right arm up into the air, "All right, Lucy…" she began to herself, getting down from her bed, letting her bare feet touch the floor, "…time to get the day started!" she exclaimed, closing her hands into fists. A moment later, she opened the curtains, letting the sunlight pour on in while she took a deep breath. After another quick stretch, she headed off towards her apartment's bathroom to get ready for the day. Unbeknownst to her however, just outside of the building at the front door, a sudden spark of green electricity appeared, followed by several others. A green portal then formed, with its vortex swirling slowly. Without warning, five figures leapt out from it, landing onto the stone walkway just before the buildings.
The first of the group was a brunette, shaggy haired, teenage boy, wearing brown cargo pants, white and green sneakers, and a white hoodie. The latter of the clothes had green stripes and a green number ten on the right pectoral. Upon his left wrist was a strange, watch-like device that had a white and green color scheme. Its faceplate was black, having two green stripes that formed an hourglass-like outline.
The second was another teenage boy who had black hair with tannish skin, wearing a red jacket with two orange stripes on each arm over a blue and white t-shirt. He also bore black gloves, pants, and shoes, along with a pair of goggles upon his forehead.
The third was a blonde, spiky haired teenage boy wearing an orange tracksuit with black on the upper shoulders' area, as well as around his waist. He bore a black bandana around his forehead that included a metal portion with a symbol etched into its center, and black sandals. With that, his face had three whisker markings on each of his cheeks.
The fourth was a teenage girl with ponytailed, brown hair, wearing a sky blue, sleeveless shirt while she bore a parka wrapped around her waist. With that, she had blue, baggy pants and brown boots, including two armbands on her right arm and one on her left. Also, she had two ponytail-like strands of hair hanging from each side of her head, framing her face.
The last of the group was a young man with shaggy, tall, and spiky red hair. He wore a blue headband that had a Pegasus and two wings upon his forehead and had a black shirt under a short blue jacket with long, rolled-up sleeves, and white-and-gold lines. Also, he was wearing brown fingerless gloves, one of which had a strange stone embedded into it, dark-blue pants, and black boots over red socks. The white scarf around his neck was long and had shredded ends, and on his two belts; red and brown in color, he carried with him a pouch, a Zero-G Launcher, and a sword sheathed away in its sky blue hilt, with the head of the same mythical creature engraved upon it.
"Hello, new universe!" the girl of the group exclaimed, outstretching her arms up into the air, "Ah…" she breathed, placing her hands onto her hips while looking out at the river that extended across before her and her friends, "It's nice to get away after all that… Una-Vaatu mayhem," she mentioned, "right, guys?" she questioned to her teammates, catching their attentions.
"Definitely," the goggled boy answered, walking over to her while the brunette haired boy took out something from the right pocket of his hoodie, being an oval-shaped, white device with a green center. He pressed it, causing the portal to disappear in a flash of light. "So, whaddaya think, Ben?" his black haired comrade questioned, catching his attention, "We gonna get a new teammate here?" he asked, raising an eyebrow towards him.
"Well, we'll see," he responded vaguely, placing the contraption back into his pocket, "This doesn't seem like a universe for heroes like me or you…" he noted, glancing up at the clear, blue sky, "In a way, it kinda reminds me of Naruto's," he admitted, causing the spiky haired teen to perk up out of surprise.
"Hm…" the jinchuriki uttered, placing his bandage-covered right hand upon his chin, "Doesn't look that much like the Leaf Village…" he confessed, narrowing his eyes onto the town.
"I wonder if it's just an old timey town with no one special…" the tan skinned teen chimed in, folding his arms behind his head in a bored manner.
"Come on, Rex," the ponytailed girl reprimanded, catching his attention, "There's gotta be at least someone important in this town!" she shouted, gesturing towards the multitude of buildings in the area.
"Besides," a voice chimed in, causing everyone to look over at the shaggy haired teen, "we won't know unless we try," he told them, crossing his arms over his chest.
"Korra and Gingka are right," the Omnitrix bearer agreed, turning towards the rest of his teammates, "This place, or anywhere else in this world is bound to have someone with powers," he explained, "We just gotta find out who and where," he mentioned to them.
"So, do we split up?" the shinobi asked in suggestion.
"Sure," his team leader concurred with a nod, "Call via MPG if you find out anything," he recommended to his friends.
"Got it, hermano!" the evo replied, placing his goggles over his. Suddenly, something came out of his back, morphing into large, orange, turbine wings. The mechanisms began to spin before he soared up into the air, letting out an excited yell.
"We'll walk," the Avatar bluntly stated, trotting off with the blonde haired boy before they split up at an intersection. The Team Omniverse leader headed on his own as well, leaving the beyblader to go in the other direction. While he placed his hands in the pockets of his pants, the doors to the building he and his comrades were in front of opened, revealing a now dressed Lucy Heartfilia, having her hair tied up in pigtails behind her head.
"All right!" she exclaimed, pumping her fists, "Time to get some work done!" she declared with a determined look on her face. She then glanced over to her left and blinked in surprise to see the shaggy haired teen walking into the distance, noticing the shredded ends of his white scarf.
'That's a familiar fashion statement…' she said through thought, smiling brightly before leaving the apartment edifice.
EPISODE I PART I
Humming happily as she trekked onward, the celestial mage made her through the town, heading off to the outskirts. Passing through the small forested area, she made her way into a clearing, trotting along the walkway up to the Fairy Tail guild hall, which had been relocated a while back. As she approached the doors, her smile faded into a frown while she looked at the pink guild mark on her right hand.
'It's still kinda hard to believe me and the others were gone for seven whole years…' she muttered to herself, biting her bottom lip out of frustration, 'But now…' she began inwardly, letting a grin come across her lips as she approached the doors to the building, 'it's time to get Fairy Tail back into action!' she stated through her thoughts, pushing the accesses open with her hands.
"Good morning, everyone!" she greeted happily. The only sound of response she was met with though was of a crashing table, enticing her to open her eyes. She paled as she saw her two guild mates, Natsu Dragneel and Gray Fullbuster wrestling with each other, rolling across the floor.
"Fess up, ya pervy popsicle!" the former demanded angrily as they kept on struggling, "You stole my breakfast!" he yelled while Lucy just stood there with a blank expression on her face.
"I wouldn't eat that crap even if it was the last thing on earth!" the ice mage shouted back, pinning the fire dragon slayer to the ground.
"Say what?!" his comrade responded, elbowing him directly in the face, causing him to fall down onto the floor. They continued quarreling as the celestial wizard sighed deeply, letting a drop of sweat roll down from the side of her head.
"It's too early in the morning for this…" she muttered, folding her arms under her chest. Suddenly, she heard a pair of loud thuds, making her look out to see the two rambunctious teens lying on their stomachs, groaning in pain while large red bumps were upon their heads. Overlooking them was Erza Scarlet, adorning her Heart Kreuz armor while she placed her hands at her hips.
"Play nice, you two!" she ordered angrily as her facial expression was quite dark, much to the fright of both them and the blonde haired wizard.
"Aye…" the once feuding friends concurred weakly. The requip mage then looked out to Lucy standing at the entrance, grinning upon noticing her there.
"Good to see you up and about, Lucy," she said, catching her attention, "Are you ready for another new day?" she questioned curiously.
"Heh," the celestial wizard laughed in response, "I'm ready to get this guild back into action!" she declared with a determined expression.
"Aye!" a voice agreed, chiming in as she looked to see the blue furred exceed, Happy, standing beside the two teenage boys, who were slowly getting back up.
"First thing to do is get a job from the request board!" the blonde haired girl stated, marching off to her left, while the others stared at her blankly.
"Uh, Lucy?" Natsu questioned, raising an eyebrow towards her as she stopped in front of the wooden board in the building.
"Now let's see- Huh?" she uttered in confusion, interjecting her own sentence as she saw the board in front of her was completely blank, much to her shock while her mouth gaped open, "Wait, what?!" she exclaimed, "Where are the job requests?!" she asked hysterically, searching around the entire board for them.
"Don't bother," Gray advised, crossing his arms while he and the fire dragon slayer stood up fully from the floor, "There's pretty much nothing to do…" he pointed out, folding his arms behind his head.
"With the guild seven years behind from where it once was," Erza began to explain, "I guess it's to be expected that no clients would want us to take jobs…" she told them, crossing her armored arms over her chest. She suddenly heard several heavy sighs, enticing her to glance over and see Macao and Romeo Conbolt, Wakaba Mine, Max Alors, Warren Rocko, Alzack and Bisca Connell, Laki Olietta, Jet, Droy, Nab Lasaro, Reedus Jonah, and Vijeeter Ecor with hanging heads of shame. "Uh… sorry…" she apologized sheepishly as a drop of sweat rolled down from the side of her head.
"Okay…" the celestial wizard muttered in a stressed tone, grimacing a little as she placed her hand on her chin, looking around at the rest of the guild hall, seeing that there were wooden boards nailed over broken walls, "How 'bout we try to fix the place up?" she suggested quickly, "Since we've got a day off from jobs, we can-"
"No can do, Lucy," the fourth guildmaster interrupted, catching her attention, along with those of her teammates, "Our budget right now's not gonna be able to come up with the supplies we need to fix this old shack," he explained, "Plus, we're working up the money to try and get our old guild hall back," he mentioned, taking a sip of his drink in a wooden mug.
"Huh…" the blonde haired girl sighed deeply, slouching over in defeat, "So much for work…" she said bluntly, groaning as she made her way to an open table. Just then, the doors to the guild opened again, revealing Wendy Marvell standing there with her exceed, Carla.
"Morning, everybody!" the former of the two greeted cheerfully. However, she then took notice of the celestial mage sitting at the table, lying the side of her head against it as she continued to groan. "Lucy?" she uttered in confusion, tilting her head while she and her feline friend raised their eyebrows.
X
"Anything on your end?" Korra asked, holding her MPG before herself and Naruto as a hologram of Rex was upon it while they were walking through the streets of the town, passing by a few market stands.
"Well, I got some info…" the evo answered over the communications link as it appeared that he was trotting around on his own two feet, having his goggles back on his forehead, "Apparently this is a world of wizards," he said, making the two blink out of surprise.
"Wizards?" the Avatar questioned, "You mean like… magic people?" she asked, raising an eyebrow in complete befuddlement.
"That's kinda weird…" the jinchuriki admitted, chiming into the conversation.
"Hey, it's no weirder than the stuff we can do," his goggled teammate responded jokingly with a chuckle, causing the two to grin in agreement.
"So, where can we find a strong wizard?" the ponytailed girl asked while she and her comrade came to a stop.
"Well, we're not gonna find one here…" Rex replied with a heavy sigh, "Everyone I asked said the only good wizards are from outta town," he explained, "In fact, they said there used to be a pretty decent guild here," he said, making the two listeners glance at each other for a moment.
"A guild, huh?" Korra inquired, placing her hand onto her chin, "If there's not a good one here," she started to realize, "I guess we're gonna hafta to hit up the next place in this world or go to another," she told her teammates.
"Such a drag…" the shinobi concurred, folding his arms behind his head in a bored manner.
"I'll let Ben and Gingka know what I found out," the evo stated to the two, "then we'll see what we do next," he added, having his hologram disappear from the MPG in a flash of light. Meanwhile, the beyblader was walking through the forest on the outskirts of town, seeing small rays of sunlight poking through the openings between the leaves on trees. He smiled, placing his gloved hands in his pockets while he trekked onward.
'It's gonna be pretty hard to find a new teammate from this new universe,' he confessed inwardly while his expression turned into a frown, 'especially since Korra wasn't all that easy to convince the last time…' he noted through thought. Suddenly, he perked up as he made his way into a clearing, seeing the grass breeze by. He then took notice of the lone building in the area, seeing its broken down design as a walkway led up to it. 'Fairy Tail?' he questioned to himself, arching an eyebrow as he approached the crude edifice.
"Huh…" Lucy moaned out of defeat, having head lie against the tabletop while Wendy and Carla sat near her.
"It's okay, Lucy…" the former of the two reassured with a nervous smile.
"Though it's definitely new to not have as many jobs on the board…" the latter pointed out, looking towards the blank request board, "I guess we should've expected something like this to happen…" she admitted with narrowing eyes.
"I wouldn't get too worried!" a feminine voice chimed in, catching their attentions as they turned to see Mirajane Strauss standing beside them, carrying a tray of bottles in her right hand, "Sooner or later, we're bound to have some requests!" she told them in positive manner, smiling brightly, enticing them to do the same.
"Well, it's definitely gonna be later…" Gray noted, catching their attentions as they saw him in front of the request board, shirtless and with his arms crossed.
"Come on, ice prick!" Natsu shouted mockingly, causing him to develop a tick mark upon his head, "Don't ya have a little faith in this place?!" he yelled angrily.
"Well, he does have a point…" the celestial mage concurred as she lifted her head up, "If we're not getting requests now, who's to say we'll be getting any the next day?" she questioned rhetorically.
"A real man oughta' believe in this guild!" a booming voice suddenly stated, making her jump out of surprise before turning to see Elfman Strauss standing behind her.
"Aye!" Happy agreed with a jump.
"But... I'm not a man…" the blonde haired girl deadpanned as a drop of sweat rolled down from the side of her head.
"Face it," the ice wizard advised, catching their attentions, "this guild's never gonna be the way it was before…" he stated in a devastated tone.
"Yes, it will!" the fire dragon slayer argued, catching his attention, "We just gotta prove there's still a lotta life here!" he declared fiercely.
"Did you finally melt that 'brain' of yours?" his rival retorted, "'Cause that makes no sense for us!" he shouted angrily, making the spiky haired mage growl angrily.
"You don't make sense, ya icy bastard!" he yelled with clenched fists. Arguments began arising not only from them, but everyone else around them, wondering what the guild's future would be after seven long years of heartache and turmoil for those that were still there at the time. Sitting by herself at a table, Erza closed her armored right hand into a fist before standing up, turning around to face her comrades.
"ENOUGH!" she demanded, causing everyone to instantly freeze and look over at her before the arguments could escalate, "Huh…" she sighed deeply, crossing her arms over her chest, "Gray's right," she stated to everyone's surprise as their eyes widened, "The guild isn't going to be the same…" she told them, glancing downwards for a moment, "So we'll have to work hard in order to get the guild back to the reputation it deserves," she explained seriously.
"It's not gonna be easy," the onyx haired teen pointed out bluntly, folding his arms behind his head while he had subconsciously removed his pants, revealing his black boxers, "We're gonna need a miracle to get things going again…" he noted, glancing up at the ceiling. Suddenly, the sound of giggling caught his attention as he looked over to see Mirajane laughing.
"Nice boxers, Gray," she complimented, making him blink in surprise before he looked down, gasping as he saw that he was in his underwear.
"CRAP!" he exclaimed, frantically searching around for his clothes.
"We'll need to take this one step at a time," the requip wizard mentioned, bringing the focus back onto her, "It's not like a miracle's going to walk through the doors…" she added. As if on cue, the accesses to the guild suddenly creaked open, causing her and the rest of the members to turn and see Gingka walk into the building. A moment of silence passed by as they all stared out at him, blinking in confusion as they had no idea who he even was.
"Uh… hi?" he greeted unknowingly with a nervous wave an smile, raising an eyebrow to all the patrons.
"Hey there, stranger!" Natsu responded, jogging over to him, "Welcome to Fairy Tail!" he said in an excited tone, holding his right hand to him, "My name's Natsu," he introduced with a cheeky grin. The beyblader was taken aback for a moment, but let a smile grace his lips as he took the teen's extremity with his own.
"Gingka," he replied, shaking the fire dragon slayer's hand gently, "Nice to meet you," he added. Meanwhile, the others were just baffled to see their guild mate easily getting along with the stranger that had just entered their guild.
"You have any idea who that is, Lucy?" Wendy asked in a whisper, catching her attention.
"No…" she answered, glancing back over to see the shaggy haired teen still talking with her friend, "But I remember seeing walk by my apartment this morning…" she mentioned, placing her right hand against her chin, "His scarf kinda reminds me of Natsu's…" she pointed out, narrowing her eyes onto him. Meanwhile, Happy approached his pal and the new person, catching their attentions as they looked to see him.
"Hi, I'm Happy!" he greeted, raising his right paw up.
"Huh," the beyblader uttered in surprise, squatting down to get a closer look at the creature, "Weird as it is, I've met a talking dog before, too," he mentioned. The exceed blinked in confusion for a moment before he tilted his head, raising an eyebrow in the process.
"So where are ya from, Gingka?" Gray asked, having reclaimed his pants, "You live in Magnolia?" he guessed. Unfortunately, all the question did was cause the shaggy haired teen to raise his eyebrow in confusion.
"Ya know, the town right by here," the pink haired teen chimed in, gesturing towards the guild doors while wrapping his right arm around the guest's shoulders.
"Eh, sorry…" he apologized, rubbing the back of his head, "I'm from… outta town…" he said somewhat nervously.
"Do you live anywhere in Fiore?" the sky dragon slayer asked, catching his attention, "Or anywhere in Ishgar?" she questioned on with an arched eyebrow.
"Actually, you could say I live outta this world…" the beyblader quipped in reply, chuckling a little. However, everyone just looked on at him with surprised, blinking eyes, as Natsu gasped out of shock.
"You sayin' you from Edolas?!" he claimed in complete disbelief. The shaggy haired teen was taken aback by his outburst, stepping away as he rubbed the back of his head.
"Uh, you guys might wanna sit down for this…" he advised nervously, "I bet it's gonna be kinda hard for you to believe…" he mentioned with another small laugh. Everyone else was a little stunned, but merely shrugged it off, prepared to listen to the stranger's story. Meanwhile, Carla stared out at him with narrowed eyes of suspicion, wondering what exactly he was doing at their guild. Without warning, an image of Gingka holding a sword flashed through her head, along with the sight of him and Erza clashing blades together. Her light gasp afterwards caught Wendy's attention, who looked over at her.
"Something wrong, Carla?" she inquired, tilting her head.
"For the moment, no…" her exceed responded, crossing her paws over her chest while staring out at the guest once more, who took the time to seat himself down on a chair.
'Just WHO is this boy?' she asked herself, letting a drop of nervous sweat roll down from the side of her head.

Within the forests, Ben came to a stop at a small clearing, glancing around to see nothing but trees in sight. All of a sudden, he heard the sound of rustling shrubbery, enticing him to pull his left sleeve back as an act of readying himself.
"Relax," a feminine voice reassured, making him perk up to see his teammates, Korra, Naruto, and Rex all approaching him.
"Sorry 'bout that…" he apologized, rubbing the back of his neck sheepishly with his right hand, "When you're in a new universe," he began, "you tend to get a little tense…" he pointed out as a drop of sweat rolled down from the side of his head.
"Well, there's nothin' 'bout this place to get too tense for," the evo chimed in, catching their attentions, "I think we're gonna need to hit the road to find some strong wizard or whatever…" he told them, folding his arms behind his head.
"Yeah, I heard," his team leader responded, placing his right hand upon his chin, "You guys sure we're not gonna find anyone from those wizard places people told you about?" he questioned to his comrades.
"All we've heard is that there's only a few of those places around town," the Avatar explained in reply.
"But people say they're either big jerks or just no-good…" the jinchuriki mentioned.
"Huh…" the Omnitrix bearer sighed deeply, "What about that place from seven years ago in this world?" he inquired.
"No way, hermano," the goggled teen chimed in, "I heard guys say that there hasn't been anyone strong enough in that guild for seven years," he told him, "Not sure why though…" he added on.
"Well, let's come up with a plan and-" Ben stopped his sentence the moment he noticed something, widening his eyes in surprise. "Uh, where's Gingka?" he asked, looking around to see that the beyblader was nowhere in sight, as did his teammates.
"Aw, we forgot to tell him…" Korra grumbled, reaching into the pocket of her pants, pulling out her MPG.
"Maybe he's still out looking for those… wizard guys," Rex suggested, catching the attentions of his friends.
"Probably…" his team leader agreed, crossing his arms over his chest, "Let's just track him down," he said, starting to walk off, "Once we regroup, we can talk about goin' somewhere else," he stated, heading away with the rest of his comrades. Back at the Fairy Tail guild, the shaggy haired teen was chugging down a small glass of water, taking one last gulp before setting it down onto the tabletop.
"Ah…" he breathed in relief, "Thank you, Mirajane," he said out of gratitude to the take over wizard.
"My pleasure!" she replied, grabbing the glass from the table and walking over to the bar counter with it on her tray.
"Okay…" a voice chimed in, catching his attention as he turned to see Lucy standing in front of him with Natsu, Gray, Erza, Wendy, Happy, and Carla, "let me get this straight…" she continued, holding her hands out, "You're from… another universe where there's no such thing as magic, wizards, or even guilds, right?" she guessed, getting a simple nod in reply from the Team Omniverse member, "And you're not even a wizard…" she kept going, "but you're part of a team that goes around to different universes to protect them?" she inquired, getting yet another nod in reply.
"Wow, that's cool!" the fire dragon slayer exclaimed as his eyes sparkled with interest.
"HOW THE HECK CAN YOU BELIEVE ALL THAT?!" the celestial mage yelled out of shock.
"You don't?" her guild mate questioned back, causing her to let out a deep sigh.
"I can see why not…" the blue furred exceed admitted as he was sitting down on top of a table with his crush, "The only other worlds we know besides ours are Edolas and the Celestial Spirit world…" he pointed out, scratching the top of his head with his right paw.
"I agree," the requip wizard concurred, folding her arms over her breastplate, "It seems too farfetched to believe that you come from another universe," she told him in a suspicious tone.
"Like I said," he began to say, putting his arms behind his head, "it's not gonna be easy for your guys to believe me right off the bat," he noted, leaning back in his seat while the others just stared at him suspiciously.
"So… if you do travel to all those different worlds," the sky dragon slayer chimed in, catching his attention as he opened his right eye, "what kind of skills do you have?" she asked curiously.
"You did say that your team goal is to protect all these universes, right?" her exceed guessed while he stood up from his seat.
"Yep," he answered, grabbing the hilt of his sword, pulling it out to reveal the blade to the guild members, who all widened their eyes in surprise.
"Whoa," the ice mage remarked, "I've seen plenty of swords, but not one like that…" he admitted, narrowing his eyes onto the blade.
"Indeed…" Erza agreed, suddenly having the weapon in her armored hands, "Where did you get a sword like this?" she asked with curious look in her eyes.
"Hey, give that back!" Gingka demanded, snagging it from her grasp with an annoyed expression on his face, much to her surprise.
"S-Sorry…" she sheepishly apologized, bowing to him, "What kind of a sword is that though?" she questioned, looking back at it.
"It's called a snake sword," he replied, taking a glance at it as well, "This one didn't always belong to me…" he mentioned, causing the others to perk up with interest, "I stole it from someone in another universe," he said, making them all gasp out of shock.
"Nice!" Natsu responded with a cheeky grin.
"And this… person you stole the sword from…" the scarlet haired wizard began to say.
"He used to be a real bad guy," the beyblader told her and the others, sliding his weapon back into its hilt, "But if I never met him along with my friend," he continued, "I never would've discovered what else I was capable of," he finished, grinning while his blade fully went back into its hilt with the sound of a click. Everyone was slightly stunned by his explanation as to who he was and where he had come from, along with what else he had told them. However, that didn't prevent the spiky haired mage to start grinning excitedly.
"Ya must be pretty strong to have a sword like that…" he noted, standing up from his seat.
"Natsu?" his exceed uttered out of confusion, seeing him punch his left hand with his right fist.
"How 'bout you an' me go at it just to see how strong ya are?" he suggested while he smirked. Gingka blinked in surprise as the guild members just gasped at their friend's proclamation.
"Natsu, you can't be serious!" Gray shouted, standing up from his seat and catching his attention.
"You can't just challenge a stranger out of the blue!" Lucy yelled in an agreeing tone.
"And you shouldn't bother any of our guests with your silly challenges!" Erza fiercely declared, making him shrink out of fright as most of his own comrades were turning against him. The shaggy haired teen just looked on in confusion for a moment, wondering why he was just confronted by the rambunctious boy before pulling off a small smile.
"Actually…" he chimed in, catching their attentions as they all looked over at him, "I wanna see how strong Natsu is, too," he stated, walking up to the fire dragon slayer as he stood back up fully, "If he's really a strong wizard," he continued, "then I bet he could become a part of Team Omniverse," he declared confidently. The other mages blinked out of surprise at such a statement, especially the pink haired teen as his eyes trembled. But he then smiled, closing his right hand into a clenched fist.
"You're on, Gingka!" he exclaimed, "I'm all fired up!" he declared as his extremity became immersed in fire, much to his future opponent's surprise before he managed to pull off a smirk of excitement, ready to face him.

NegaiFreak: It'll be revealed in due time, don't worry.
SpiritReaper42: Ben & Rex, has any of the whole Omni Force adventure started when you both first met?
Rex: Actually, I don't think so.
Ben: Yeah. I met Ash, Naruto, and Gingka before I met Rex. But once I ran into him, that's when our whole multiverse journey began.
Rex: Ever since, it's been one heck of a ride. Right, monster guy?
Ben: *chuckles* Definitely, robot kid.
SpiritReaper42: Pikachu, how do you feel that throughout the fans of Pokémon, you have always been number one?
Pikachu: *blushes out of flattery* Pika…
Ash: Pikachu's always been my number one! *picks him up* That's for sure!
Pikachu: Pika!
SpiritReaper42: Korra, which is your favorite element?
Korra: Hm… I dunno, actually… I guess water'd be my favorite since I'm from the South Pole and all…
Juvia: It certainly suits you!
Korra: Totally! *laughs alongside her*
SpiritReaper42: Naruto, how would you know if you had too much ramen?
Naruto: I guess I'd know if I started… throwing up, I guess…
Hinata: It's happened before… *smiles nervously*
SpiritReaper42: Gray & Juvia, how long have you two been an item? (I always support the paring)
Juvia: My darling Gray and I have been an item since we first met! *wraps arms around him* And I love him ever so dearly…
Gray: H-Hey! Lemme' go! *blushes while struggling to escape her grip* We're not an item! We're just… friends who work really well together!
Korra: You sure about that? *crosses arms* You two look like quite the item, ya know…
Gray: DON'T ENCOURAGE HER!
Juvia: *continues snuggling into Gray happily*
SpiritReaper42: Elfman, how many push-ups can you do? If you're man enough to answer that.
Elfman: Of course I'm man enough! A real man can do even a million push-ups if he's motivated to do it!
Ash: Yeah!
Pikachu: Pika!
SpiritReaper42: Everyone, what are your reactions to Toph VS Gaara in Death Battle?
Naruto: Ooh… Gaara…
Gingka: If Toph weren't so old right now, we'd have her on the team.
Erza: She's quite strong. *folds arms across her chest* I wonder if anyone in Fairy Tail could beat her…
SpiritReaper42: Natsu, what is your favorite attack?
Natsu: Duh! It's obvious my signature Fire Dragon Roar! There ain't anybody who can top that!
Gajeel: Wanna prove it, salamander?!
Natsu: *gets in his face* I'll prove it to ya, you iron-headed hardcase! *growls angrily at him*
SpiritReaper42: Happy, how much fish can you eat?
Happy: A lot! Fish are so yummy!
Carla: Says you…
SpiritReaper42: Gajeel, since when can you even sing and play guitar?
Gajeel: Heh. I've been able to play guitar for as long as I can remember. And as fer singin'…
Levy: *whispering* He can't actually sing…
Gajeel: What was that, shorty?
Levy: Oh, n-nothing!
Natsu: Dang… Is that it?
Wendy: I guess so… Well, we'll see you guys next time! Until then, enjoy the scenario provided by SpiritReaper42!

SCENARIO
Spirit Reaper: *appears out of nowhere without wearing a shirt this time* Hello.
Natsu: Hey, it's that guy!
Gingka: Nice to see you again. *notices that he's not wearing a shirt* Uh… what's with the bare chest?
Spirit Reaper: Well you know... *falls face first to the floor as his body started twitching*
Ben: What the heck?
Cana: *raises an eyebrow* Did something happen?
-Everyone gathers around him, seeing that he's still down-
Happy: Ya know, he kinda looks like Gray with his shirt off…
Korra: Maybe he's an admirer?
-Both Juvia and Gray perk up-
Juvia: An admirer…? OF MY DARLING GRAY?! *develops tick marks on her head as her arms turn into water*
Gray: J-Juvia?!
Spirit Reaper: *starts to wake up, blushing and swinging his arms a bit* Whoa! Whoa! I do not swing that way! *hops back up to his feet* I'm okay, I'm okay.
Juvia: Oh. *reforms her arms* I'm sorry for scaring you…
Spirit Reaper: Whatever, no my problem right there. Anyway, sorry about all that. I have been feeling lightheaded from my battles against Tommy Oliver, the power ranger, and Darth Vader. *rubs chest* Ah I can still feel the burning pain from the lightsaber.
Erza: Lightsaber?
Rook: It certainly sounds like you were a part of a tough bout…
Spirit Reaper: But anyway I should be okay. Just need to heal up before I can explain why I'm here. *starts using magic to heal himself*
Lucy: Hey, he can use healing magic like you, Wendy!
Wendy: Wow…
Spirit Reaper: Alright, I'm all better. So the reason why I'm here is because Akasha and Davey are in a pretty wild battle, so I decided to drop by.
Ash: Cool!
Mirajane: I'm sure that's not the only reason you're here… *giggles cheekily*
Spirit Reaper: The other reason why I'm here is because I like to challenge two of every single one of you to a fight.
Everyone: Huh?
Levy: You wanna fight two of us at a time?
Gajeel: And then you fight two more of us? *crosses arms while smirking* Now that sounds like fun…
Spirit Reaper: Absolutely. So Gajeel, you get over here. And who else do I want to fight? *turns and glares at Natsu with glowing red eyes* Natsu...
Natsu: Huh? Whaddaya want?
Spirit Reaper: You don't remember Natsu? Last time you saw me? *smirks* I am so looking forward to this. *puts fist into his hand and cracks his knuckles*
Lucy: Seriously, what did you do to this guy?
Happy: I think he called him short last time we met…
Natsu: Did I? Huh. Can't believe I forgot that…
Lucy & Happy: *sigh deeply*
Spirit Reaper: Well? Do you want to fight me or not?
Natsu: *cracks a big grin* You bet! *encases fists in flames* I'm all fired up!
Gajeel: Wait a sec… *glances over at Natsu while he looks at him* I HAVE TO TEAM UP WITH THE SALAMANDER?!
Natsu: Aw, no way! Put me with anybody but him or Gray!
Gajeel: *angrily* Look, this ain't fun for me either, but it's the only way you an' I are gonna get a shot at this Spirit Reaper guy!
Natsu: Ergh… *reluctantly* All right, fine…
Spirit Reaper: I thought so... *falls face first again*
Erza: Spirit Reaper? Are you sure you're all right?
Spirit Reaper: Ah... darn it... I forgot. Healing can be a little difficult when I'm lightheaded right now. *summons a jug of water and drinks it all up*
Naruto: Wow. Talk about getting hydrated…
Spirit Reaper: Alright, now I'm better.
Gajeel: Great. *cracks knuckles* Ya better not go screwin' things up, Salamander!
Natsu: *gets into ready stance* Aren't ya just talkin' 'bout yerself, ya metal head? Now let's goin'!
Spirit Reaper: Alright, give me everything you got! *summons scythe and spins it*
