Two shadowed figures fought as thunder rolled through the clouds. As each sent their deadly attacks at one another, a lone small shadowed figure sat between them as her eyes were empty white orbs.
"Do you have any idea what you have done?!" The female shadow yelled as her attack was deflected by the male shadow.
"Yes...We have harnessed one of the greatest powers on the Grand Line!" The man laughed causing the female to growl.
"You...You bastards! First everyone disappears and now you do this?!" Electricity shot out of her hands and hit the man, but he simply sent it away.
"We had the chance to kill two birds with one stone, destroy the greatest threat since the era began and turn such a threat into one of us. It was far too easy." The male smiled as his shadowed cape fluttered behind him.
"Someone will save us! THEY WILL SAVE US!" The female cried as both hands glowed.
"Stop hanging on to that belief, demon...They will never find you when we're finished." The male's tone became deadly as he matched her aura.
"I will hold onto it...HE WOULD NEVER LET US DIE!" She brought her arms down and two massive lightning bolts struck him.
"Heh, don't think you've won, she's still ours…" The man said as he faded away and the girl faded with him.
"Dammit...DAMMIT!" The female yelled and fell to her knees, "We have failed...We have lost her to them...We have let you down once again…" Tears pooled in her eyes as rain began to fall from the sky.
"FORGIVE US!"
Day 1
Dear diary...Lucy told me to get one of these since I 'needed' it. Why? I have no clue, she just told me to buy one. Should I just say what I did today?
Well, my father began training me last week, it's truly a pain in the ass. Don't tell him I said that.
Anyway~Today he had me carrying a boulder up a mountain at least five times. Then I ran at least 10 miles, and it only got worse when he had me do 300 push-ups. He was fricken' reading an adult novel that was basically a porn magazine. What a pervert!
He irritates me so much sometimes! And I've only been stuck with the ass for a week!
A week!
How the heck am I supposed to survive 2 YEARS?!
The paper had a tear in it as the words were cut off by the burned paper.
"So...This is the famous Earthshaker...Who'd think it would've survived this long." A figure concealed by a red cloak held the charred journal as the trees blew wildly in the night.
Earthshaker...The woman who simply disappeared off the planet, and with her the true magic.
The true magic is a secret that was guarded for a long time, but centuries passed as the ethernano left the planet. Land masses changed, and soon the earth was 99% covered in water.
And the true magic...was never found.
The magic users put their magic into lacrimas that formed into Devil Fruits. Scholars have been trying to discover what happened during the period where magic left, but it's tale is hidden in a complex 600-year code.
The world of magic was now known as the world of pirates.
And the only thing that might have an answer to it all… are her journals.
One is a dream journal while the other is a diary, the former contains very peculiar dreams. Each one consists of three shadows.
The female, who was capable of causing mass destruction.
The male, who always had that terrifying laugh.
And the little girl, who was always lying on the ground, unconscious.
It was almost impossible to figure out their meaning, but each foreshadowed a different event. And in most cases...they were tragedies.
The cloaked figure closed the book and put it in one of his many pockets.
"Seems I have a bit of work to do…Earthshaker…" He mumbled before disappearing as the cloak fell to the ground.
Line BREEEEAK!
As the sun rose into the sky, a woman with bright blue hair that was tied up into a bun, walked out and stretched before gazing at the sky.
Her orange eyes glittered in happiness, it had been quite some time since she had seen the sun.
"Miranda!" A voice called out and the woman turned.
"Hey, Kyana." Miranda smiled and waved at the other woman.
Kyana's dark green hair fluttered in the morning breeze, "So whatcha doing? Little early don't ya think?"
Miranda lightly slapped the other woman, "Oh stop it, you know this is part of my schedule."
Kyana stuck her tongue out, "Can't take a joke, can ya?"
Miranda laughed, "But, it is early for you, care to explain what you're doing out so early?"
Kyana smirked and placed her hands on her hips, "I wanna go look for the Journal!"
Miranda sighed, "I know our ancestors were wizards, but that's just a legend!"
Kyana pointed towards the dense forest that lie beyond their town, "I can practically feel it Miranda! It's there, I know it!"
Miranda stared at the forest before shaking her head, "Fine...But, if we don't find it, you're paying me."
"Got it!" Miranda shook her head at the wild girl.
They were the descendants of wizards, while the ethernano was gone and wasn't coming back, all the people on their island could use magic. It was particularly odd since it wasn't possible for an entire city to be populated back when magic filled the world, but it was occurring on their little island.
Miranda was thought to be a descendant of the legendary Titania, but for Kyana it was a complete mystery. Kyana was always strange with her ever changing eyes, but that never bothered Miranda as she too had something weird. The strange birthmark around her left eye always piqued her interest, but she never followed through with research.
Even when it glowed, she never thought twice about it. After all, when one of your friends can turn into a lightning bolt, you honestly don't question anything.
Miranda followed Kyana as they entered the forest and both women felt the natural energy of the forest hit them.
"Now I see why you like it in here, Kyana." Miranda's hand grazed a tree and she hummed in pleasure from the zap of energy.
Kyana put her finger to her mouth and Miranda blinked at her, causing the former to point towards a clearing. "I sense something weird."
"Weird?" Miranda mouthed to which Kyana nodded.
Kyana had a rare ability that allowed her to sense magic properties. It'd probably be useful if the magic hadn't disappeared, but you can't change history.
Kyana took one step and out of nowhere, a wall made of red symbols shot out of the ground.
"Woah...Did you see that, Miranda?" Kyana asked in shock.
Miranda nodded hesitantly,before she felt like touching it.
She walked up and her fingers barely touched it, when the wall turned green.
"Activated. Welcome, descendant of Erza Scarlet." A voice sounded through the area as the wall vanished.
"What just talked?" Miranda asked as she looked around in shock.
Kyana already ran into the clearing and her shriek is what caught Miranda's attention.
"Kyana! What's wrong?!" Miranda yelled.
"I found it!" She squealed like a fangirl and jumped up and down in excitement.
"Found what?" Miranda already had an idea what she was referring to, but she wanted to hear the words.
"The journal! I've dreamed of finding it...after all this may be the answer the world is looking for!" Kyana picked the journal up and the red rune shield that was covering it, faded and it landed softly in her hands.
"But, what is the question that the world is asking?" Miranda asked eyes narrowed in thought.
"Miranda...They want to know what happened to the magic, the world simply does not lose all of its magic overnight! Something else happened, and Earthshaker's journals are our only hope of finding out about it!" Kyana persisted.
The green-haired woman opened the book, "T-This...no way." She muttered as her eyes shook in shock.
"What? What is it? Kyana, spit it out!" Miranda demanded and the other woman nodded slowly.
"Miranda...You have no idea how lucky we are. This is Earthshaker's dream journal!" Her eyes were glued to the worn pages.
"Dream Journal…?" Miranda repeated, confused by the term.
"I remember reading a journal by Lucy Heartfilia, the other mage that disappeared, that Earthshaker was haunted by vivid dreams. So vivid that Earthshaker remembered every last detail, before writing it down in a journal. She did this because she speculated that the dreams were connected somehow. But, what makes this the more important journal, is because almost all her dreams happened sooner or later." Kyana explained.
"So, you're telling me that this Earthshaker, could see the future?" Miranda summarized and placed her finger lightly on her cheek.
Kyana nodded, "Something like that. And if one of these says something-no-anything, about magic disappearing, we could find out what the World Government doesn't want us to know!" Her hands shook as she constantly glanced at the worn book.
Then, the unexpected happened, the book began glowing.
"Kyana! What did you do?!" Miranda yelled and stepped back as the glowing grew brighter.
"She didn't do anything." A voice said and a laugh escaped from the glowing.
The dust was blown away as it revealed an orange-haired woman.
"She just activated the seal, which is impressive if you ask me." The woman laughed brightly and completely ignored the stunned looks she was receiving from the girls.
"W-Who are you?" Kyana asked.
"Nessa Clives, at your service." The orangettes eyes twinkled in mischief as she sat hovering in the air.
"WAIT! As in, your father was Gildarts, the Gildarts?!" Kyana asked in mid-fangirl mode.
"Yeppers! Although-..." Nessa began but the green-haired girl interrupted her.
"T-That means...YOU'RE EARTHSHAKER!" Kyana yelled.
"S-She, y-you're real?!" Miranda jawdropped.
"As real as a mental projection can get. So, blueberry, you're Erza-chan's descendant? Hehe, knew she would get with him." Nessa laughed and Miranda twitched at the 'blueberry' comment.
"Ooh, wait do you know mine?!" Kyana asked.
Nessa floated over as her eyes scanned over the girl, "...You could either be Freed's, Bisca's or that angry green chick Lucy-chan told me about."
"Oh... Well thanks for telling me anyways." Kyana said, with a hint of sadness in her voice.
"Soooo~ How'd you find my journal? I dropped it here 600 years ago and you two find it?" Nessa said slyly.
"Hey! Don't underestimate us!" Miranda yelled and the orangette merely waved her away.
"Whoever said I was underestimating you? I mean, only a few people can detect my journals since I coated it in anti-detecting magic, not to mention a mouthful of complicated runes." Nessa giggled and the two women breathed a sigh of relief.
"How are you still alive?" Kyana asked with a confused look.
"I traveled to the future! Of course, the Earthshaker that is running around right now thinks we're in another dimension. It was probably because of the mass amount of water that covers this planet." The orangette twirled mid-float and poked each girl on the nose.
"So, basically you're a mental image of Earthshaker?" Miranda concluded with a disbelieving look.
"Yep! This is how I looked before I traveled, the real Nessa is far different." Nessa gave a thumbs up.
Before either girl could answer, shouting erupted from the village.
"Okay...Something's up, Kyana." Miranda said.
"You're right, I wonder what it is?" Kyana mumbled.
Both girls took off running and to their surprise, Nessa floated beside them as they continued to run. She was really stuck to them alright, as long as they had her journal or they found the real Earthshaker.
A chill went down their spines as they began to hear the words from the rest of the townspeople.
"PIRATES!"
"How did they find us?!"
"We're doomed if they manage to get through the shield."
"But nobody has managed to break it!"
"It doesn't matter! Look, they're attacking it right now!"
Miranda stared in shock, "Pirates?"
"Here?" Kyana ended the bluenette as each girl eyed the ship.
"Hmm...Don't worry, I don't think they're malicious." Nessa said and floated in front of them. "If anything, they just wanna explore."
"Explore? If that's it, then we should take the shield down. If they break it, we can't fix it!" Kyana answered.
Miranda turned to the still gathering crowd, "We need to disable the shield! We cannot let it break, we can battle them if they attack, but we can't fix the shield if it shatters!"
"Are you crazy!?"
"We could die!"
"Pirates are not kind!"
"Just...SHUT UP!" Miranda yelled and everyone paled under her deadly gaze.
The hands of the people began glowing as several sections of the shield began fading. Miranda raised her arm as the main part of the shield vanished.
"LUFFY! YOU CAN STOP PUNCHING IT NOW! IT'S DOWN!" A feminine voice yelled.
"IT IS?! THAT WAS EASIER THAN I THOUGHT!" The so-called Luffy, responded with a loud laugh,
The two girls got closer to the area where the pirates were and they could only stare in shock.
A blonde woman with very large breasts and chocolate brown eyes, was whipping a boy who kept on yelling "OUCH!"
"She's going overboard…" A man with moss green hair and three swords mumbled.
"Ness went missing, so naturally she's pissed." A woman with short orange hair remarked.
"S-SCARY!" A boy with a long nose and a reindeer, both shouted in unison as the two shook in fear.
"Lucy-chan is even more beautiful when she's violent~!" A man with blonde hair and curly eyebrows, proclaimed with hearts surrounding him.
A woman with black hair and a very defined face, jumped off the ship, "Navigator, you're sure this island appeared out of nowhere?" She asked as her eyes were drawn to the massive tree that seemed to be the centerpiece of the island.
"You saw it yourself! It just appeared out of nowhere! Literally!" The orange haired woman yelled.
The blonde woman finally stopped her assault and huffed, "When Sis gets back, I'll tell her it's your fault we almost hit that shield."
Miranda took a deep breath before summoning two katanas into her hands, and she untied her bun, letting her hip-long hair blow in the wind.
"Who are you!" She yelled and her sword was at the blonde woman's neck, while the second one was at the straw-hat boys head. "And how did you find Tenrou Island!"
