Chapter3
Mage Council Meeting site
"Doesn't it ever end?" Org ask himself, glaring hatefully at the, to all appearances, horrendously disorganized mountain of paperwork piled on the desk in his office, it seem no matter what he did or how he did it the paperwork just never end. A knock on the door brought him out of his thoughts.
"Come in..." Org said as Lahar came in with three very tense looking Fairy Tail members.
"Here are the Fairy Tail members you ask me to bring here..." Lahar said Org nodded.
"Good, Now I wish to discuss several thing with them in private, I ask that you Leave us alone." he ordered, Lahar and his men bowed and left the room. Org got up and sealed the door than activated privacy spell in the room. he flicked his finger so that the curtains were lowered, making it impossible to see or hear what was going on in the room from outside and put Natsu, Gray, and Gajeel all on edge... After walking back to his desk Natsu who couldn't take being quiet anymore spoke up.
"Hey old man, with all do respect, What the hell, that Lahar said you wanted to speak about what happen this when we woke up to this morning right? Just why the hell was I in bed with Ikaruga of all!" Natsu shrieked, scowling at Org as Gajeel spoke up next.
"Yeah, you mind tell me why I woke up with a half nake Levy along with three brats in bed and Levy telling me their 'our' and we're MARRY!" Gajeel yell.
"Yeah old man I got to tell ya if this is some way of getting back at us for all the Troublesome things we did, then I got to say that, this is pretty mess up to do it!" Gray Hiss as Org just look at the three before him, then sigh.
"I forgot how much of a loudmouthed you kids use to be." this cause their eyebrows to start twitching at his words, not really sure what he meant.
"The reason call you hear and why woke up to this life is that I am indeed one who is reasonable for this!" Org held up his hand to stop anything they might say.
"Before you say anything, know that this Temporary and you three will be back to normal soon." this cause them to calm down, of course they were still far from satisfied with the answer they got.
"So can you at least tell us what going?" Gray ask, Org had been looking into one of the many mounds of paperwork and pulled out a scroll with a large 'X' stamped on it, turning to look at them Org thought about saying no, but then conceded.
"Well let see, your 10 years in the futura, you are in fact marry to the ladys you wake up to and the reason I call you three here to the futura, is so that you can take this scroll back in time to my youngerself." Org end as he place the scroll before them, Natsu, Gray, and Gajeel eyebrows were now twitching at the speed of light at how he could say all that like he was reading it off a damn newspaper with out a care!
I mean didn't the guy realize just how much he mess up their futura? For Gajeel while he would amat that he thought Levy cute he was by no mean in love with her so waking up next to a growing up Levy was a real shocker and putting a side the fact that their were kids that up just like him and her. I mean yeah Gajeel volunteered to become her partner, 'which made her blush for some reason' at the S-Class Trial had protacted and saves her life from two members of Grimore Heart but that didn't mean he like her, right?
Gray was much the same, he would admit he like her, alot but as far as love went, Gray was sure that was still a ways to go, He always remember those coy, sexy look she'd throw over her shoulder at him when ever Juvia could. The bulge in his pants 'when ever Gray had a pair on' betrayed his arousal. The blush on his face betrayed his embarrassment.
Still, he had no desire to… make love to her? No, she was still too screwed up in the head for him at the moment to ever see as a lover, let along wife!
As for Natsu, he was wondering how many 'If not all' of the nine hells had fozen over for Ikaruge to be his wife, from what Erza told him, the woman was bad news! Now Gajeel and Levy, Natsu can see that happening. Gray and Juvia, anyone who didn't see that coming was dumber then him! But how in the 'now' nine fozen hell, did Natsu in up with a woman who he not only never met face to face but also had tryed to kill one of nakama in up as his WIFE!
Org had given them a few moment to let everthing he said, sink before going on.
"Now then as I was saying, I need you three to take this scroll back in time with to my youngerself, it is very important he get this right away." Org said as he handed the scroll over to Natsu, who look down at it for a moment then back to Org.
"So I take it your sending us back in time now?" Natsu ask but Org shook his head.
"No, but the spell I use will only last a day, so by the time you wake up tomorrow morning, you three should be back in your own time." this got a nodd from all three of them, though they were still far from satisfied.
"While that great and all pops, but still, do you have any idea how much you screw up our live!" Gray mutter as Gajeel look on in dismay.
"Yeah! Just what so damn Inportant that you had to drag our asses from the past to do it!" Gajeel spat in frustration before looking over to Natsu and eyeing the scroll in his hand.
"Give me that," Gajeel snap, snacking the scroll back from him, much to the fire dragon slayer annoyance.
"What's in this scroll anyway?" Gajeel ask about to open it up, when Org hand shot forward and grad Gajeel hand, stopping the Iron dragon slayer from opening it.
"I would like very much if you left this scroll close," Org said glaring at the dragonslayer. "It contant are for my youngerself's eyes only, do not open it!" Gajeel scowl at the Councilman but handed the scrool back to Natsu anyway.
"Okay but while we're waiting for us to return to back in time what are we suppost to do in the while we're still hear?" Gray ask, but Org sighed.
"Head back to the Guild and play a long."
Natsu quirked an eyebrow, "Play along?"
Org nodded, "You have to go on as if nothing has changed. In other words you have to do what you of this time would do."
This time Gray and Gajeel blink along with Natus not sure if they hear right, then they blink again.
"I don't know if you know this, but Juvia and the other two acted very... familiar with us! Just how are we suppost to 'play along' ?" Gray ask with a sweat drop falling down the side if his head as Org shoke his beard in thought.
"I'm sure you'll... Figure something out?" Org ask more then said, cause the three fairy tail members to fall over.
"Hey... hey... hey... just how rough is this plan of your gonna be on us!" Natsu yell with fire coming out of his mouth, but Org just wave him.
"Calm down, as long as you get that scroll to my youngerself he'll take care of everything." Org said as he call Lahar and his Unit to lead the three out. Gajeel was about to yell something else, but a glare from Org shut his mouth, Org wanted to this quiet.
"Captant Lahar please escorte these three back to their Guild." Org order as said members scowl at him, but left with the Enforcement Unit, walk out the door Lahar bow once more before closing the. Org give a uneasy sigh once they were all gone, feeling like he was older then he already was, while it was true that they were going to be sent back to their right time but he still felt a more then a bit guilty for what he knew was going to happen.
No matter how many time Org told him self it was for the best, that it was better they didn't remember, that they were skill enough to survive what was going to happen, that he was saving lives that should not have been lost, That he WAS doing the right thing! The suffring that Fairy Tail would go thrown kept bring he down.
"I am sorry Makarov... For may happen to those three," Org whisper with a forlong look in his eye. "but what I do, is for the best..."

Fairy Tail
After Natsu, Gray, and Gajeel had been drop off by the Enforcement Unit, they really didn't know what they see unpon entering the Guild but a duel between Erza and Ikaruge, it was safe to say that was not on their list, and, was Erza losing!
Now Natsu had heard that the speed of Ikaruge sword was absoluely peerless but seeing it for him self was just unbelieveable!
Erza lunged at her suddenly, almost catching her off guard. Ikaruge brought down Mugetsu-Ryu fiercely to graze Samurai's flat edge, which was towards her.
"You're still using the dull side of your blade, stop it!" Erza growl, backing up simultaneously with Ikaruga smiling in return.
"If that what you wish..." The pink hair woman said as she flipped Mugetsu-Ryu over and reared it back as Erza charged requips a sarashi 'long, winding strip of cloth, usually thick cotton, wrapped tightly around the midriff up to the chest' with a flame patterned bottom hakama.
As Natsu, Gray, and Gajeel watch the duel, they couldn't help but realize every one was cheering! And some of them, odd as it was, was even rooting for Ikaruga!
As Ikaruge sliced a flawless horizontal cut, ducking under the slash Erza made attempted at attacking from behind, which Ikaruge, still in the same move from earler, turned to deflect. Erza backed up and scrutinized her opponent closely. she was as always a tall and well built lady'even more so with extremely high platforms soles sandals.
Erza knew that any suit of armor she had would just be slice to bits in secons, so it was best to attack her with all she had while not woring the armor. She ran at her and sliced vertically, her right foot leading the move and the left following. Before she could finish the attack successfully Ikaruge countered with a flying slice at her shoulder, which she had to squat to hold off. She rose slowly to her feet, not taking blade from its deadlock with Wadou.
Ikaruge pulled back and Erza again ducked under his arm, coming back around and this time swinging for Ikaruge's head with the dull side. Ikaruge ducked, narrowly missing the hit, and brought Mugetsu-Ryu to meet Erza blade in another deadlock. Erza pressed her weight into the position. Ikaruge silently pulled another sword, a short blade with the same decorated handguard, and traditional hilt-wrapping as Mugetsu-Ryu,
"Mugetsu-Ryusan..." Ikaruge said quietly, then quickly spun it in her hand and used the flat side to trap Erza blade in between it and Mugetsu-Ryu. Easily, all too easily, Ikaruge flipped the red heads blade up into the air with both of her nodachis and re-sheathed her own before catching 's katana neatly in her hand and holding it out to her.
"You keep getting better and better," Ikaruge nodded. "As always I respect your enthusiasm and skill." Erza blinked, then sighed and nodded, taking back her sword and placing back on her normal armor.
"But it still not enough, huh..." Erza said, but rise a eyebrow at the smile grin on Ikaruge face.
"Oh, are you sure, then what this?" She ask. moved sideway and , lifting the sleeve up of her left arm to show everyone a bleeding gash in her's arm. "You laid a cut on me! It been seven long years since you could do that..." Erza gave the injury a look that insinuated she hadn't even noticed when she put it there and the first place.
"Seven year?" Gray mutter under his breath as all three of them had their eyes twitching " Are you tell me that fucking monster, Erza, wasen't been able to hurt that assasin in seven years! What kind of fuck up futura is this!" Gray all but yell, but before Natsu or Gajeel could reply...
"CLAP... CLAP... CLAP... CLAP... CLAP..." Gildarts had come in applausing the duel between Erza and Ikaruge, and they knowthis something new about him too, like the fact his hair was down to his back now, and of yes, he now had BOTH his arms!
"Well done, well done, the both of you..." Gildarts said putting his hands on their shoulders.
"Master, your back!" Erza exclaime as Gildarts back at them while Ikaruge just Smirk.
"Master Gildarts, how did the meeting with the Mage Council go." Ikaruge ask giving him one of her dark smiles, looking back at her Gildarts give her a tire sign.
"I'm starting to remember why I never wanted this job, I mean what the hell, how can one guild be responsible for so much property damage is beside me!" Gildarts exclaime out loud causing everyone to chuckled at his statemant but Natsu, Gray, and Gajeel as they were realing at the fact that Gildarts was now Master!
"What the hell! Did the old man retired of something?" Gajeel ask, but not like Natsu or Gray could ar him
"But beside that you two are getting really good at your swordplay, Makarov would be proud..." a chill ran up Natsu and the other twos backs when he said that, the solemn look in everyones eyes gave them no comfort. Gildarts sign as he sit down a stool near by.
"Come on, it been nine years since his death! The old man wouldn't want his name becoming all taboo everytime someone brought him up! He'd want us to be happy, having fun, and remembering all the good things about him!" the mood seem to light up at his words though the New Master didn't seem to realize that three members were in complete shock at what he just said.
"Since his death?" Natsu whisper to himself shacking abit, Gray, and Gajeel weren't much better...
"The old mans dead?
