Special Chapter! Episode of Lisanna: The Truth of that Day!
A/N: Hey Guys. Insanelee here and I'm here to present to you a special chapter. This chapter details Lisanna's experiences in Edolas and how she copes. After this I'll continue onto the main series. I hope you enjoy!
Also I want to clear up something on the canon timeline of Fairy Tail and this fic's timeline of Fairy Tail. The canon of Fairy Tail said that Mystogan became an S-Class Mage at X782 whereas in my fic it's Natsu. The year before was Mira and the year before that was Erza. In my timeline, everybody became an S-Class a year before than canon, so that it was possible for Natsu to become one at X782. So in my timeline, Mystogan became an S-Class at X781, Mira at X780 and Erza at X779.
Disclaimer: Hiro Mashima owns Fairy Tail, not me.
July 8, X782
Lisanna groaned as she woke up. Her body was sore everywhere. Her left arm especially was in a lot of pain. She grasped her left arm with her right hand and stood up. Her head was faring much better either. Lisanna had a big headache which made it hard for her to think.
'Where am I?' What happened to me?' Lisanna thought to herself.
As she got up she noticed that something was different. She looked around her and saw that she did not know where she was. She didn't see a burning town, she saw lots of rocks. Instead of being on a cliff overlooking a small town, she was in a barren field, full of giant rocks. She was all by herself, and she was scared. She looked around her but she couldn't find anybody. She tried to remember what had happened to everyone else when her memories hit her like a brick wall.
She remembered Elfman trying to do a Full-Body Take Over and losing control of himself because the Beast's magical power was too much for him to handle. She remembered the tears Mira spilled after the Beast had attacked her. She remembered the pain Natsu went through trying to protect them.
Mira-nee, Elf-nichan…. Natsu…. None of them were there. At the thought of Natsu's name, Lisanna's eyes had widened. She looked at her finger and to her horror, the ring wasn't there. She didn't understand why the ring wasn't there when she remembered what happened at the hotel. Her eyes teared up at the memory of their argument. They had said horrible things to each other but what Lisanna do was the worst thing she could've possibly done: she threw her ring at Natsu. She practically called off the wedding in that one gesture. What's worse was that she told him she hated him! The tears were flowing down her face at this point. How could she hate Natsu? They had known each other since they were kids, they were practically inseparable. She didn't mean what she said, she was just angry. Natsu was the type of person to do things the simple way, that's just how he does things. He doesn't like to complicate anything; he just wanted things done and fast. Was having the wedding at the Guild that important to him? Did he really think the wedding could be a simple procedure? Could he have made it so? All of these thoughts rushed into Lisanna's throbbing head. She felt miserable, she had no idea where she was, and she didn't have any idea how she could apologize to Natsu for how she acted. After a few minutes of crying, Lisanna wiped the tears off her face and looked around her to see where she was.
She turned around and saw something that surprised her. It was a giant green tree looking structure, but what was on it caught her attention: the Fairy Tail Insignia.
'Fairy Tail's mark? Why does that building have that mark?' Lisanna pondered. As far as she knew, there was only one building that had the mark of Fairy Tail, and that was back home. She walked up and opened the door revealing many familiar faces, but Lisanna felt that they were different somehow.
She opened the door to find many familiar faces looking very depressed. As soon as she entered, all eyes turned to her. It felt strange for Lisanna to be in there. They all looked familiar: Wakaba, Macao, Gray, Cana, but something told her that these people were complete strangers. They all had the same faces, but it just felt very foreign. All of the members of Fairy Tail were here, but she didn't seem to recognize the two blue haired women and the scary looking blonde, or any of them for that matter.
"Is this a Guild?" Lisanna asked to myself quietly.
All of the occupants in the room looked at her like she had grown three heads. It kind of made her feel uncomfortable. Suddenly, everyone just got up and cheered. The sudden noise scared her so much that she put her hands close to her heart to stop the rapid beats. Everybody ran up and gathered around her looking really happy and… relieved?
"You're alive!"
"Thank goodness you're alright!"
"Don't scare us like that again!"
What were they all talking about? They were acting like she died or something.
'Like I died…' Lisanna repeated in her head. She finally understood why everyone was acting so strange. Lisanna deduced that she was in a parallel world, which explains why everyone had the same faces, but had drastically different personalities than the Fairy Tail of her world. If that was the case then where was the Lisanna of this world? She remembered what had happened to her before she came to this world. Natsu and Mira-nee were both freaking out when the Beast had attacked her. Natsu had stayed to fight the Beast despite his injuries and made Mira go after her and heal her. Mira was crying so much that Lisanna was hurt and trying so hard to heal her. It was like Mira thought she would… die. Then that bright light had enveloped her and taken her away from her sister. She vaguely remembered hearing her sister crying, begging her not to leave her. She vaguely remembered flying through some sort of portal and passing a person that looked exactly like her. Judging by the situation with Mira, the person she passed on the way here, and the way everyone was acting, she had an idea of what happened.
The Lisanna of this world was dead.
It scared her, the situation she was in. If the Lisanna of this world had died, so doesn't that mean she should be dead too? Maybe whatever took her to place wanted to replace what was missing so it took her away from her home and brought her here. She was intended to be a substitute. Like the Lisanna of this world had never disappeared. If that was the case what about her home? Why should the people of this world get to be happy and her loved ones have to suffer? She wanted to go back home to Mira-nee. To Elf-nichan. To her Fairy Tail. To Happy. To Natsu. She wanted to go home and apologize to Natsu for acting so horribly to him. She noticed that this world's Natsu was looking at her worriedly, but she knew that it wasn't her Natsu. One look at him told her everything. This world's Natsu looked very scared of everything. He looked worried all the time, and was very shy. He seemed to be incredibly frightened of the scary looking blonde, but then again who wouldn't? This Natsu was just a look alike, nothing could ever perfectly copy Natsu. He was a unique person, there was no one else like him. He was a simple minded idiot who was raised by a dragon and loves his nakama with a passion. Lisanna started to tear up again. What if she never gets to see her Natsu again? Will she be stuck here forever, meant to be a replacement and with a different Natsu? She was about to start crying again when she heard two very familiar voices.
"Lisanna's alive nee-chan!" Lisanna's eyes had widened. She looked around her and saw where the voice came from. It was her brother Elf-nichan, or at least his counterpart, and he was crying his eyes out. Physically, he looked different from her brother back home. Instead of spiky hair, this Elf-nichan had a bowl shaped haircut. Instead of wearing the dark blue jacket with matching pants and sandals, this Elfman was wearing a pinkish tank top with white pants and shoes. Personality wise he definitely was not the Elf-nichan she loves and knows. With the way he was acting, Lisanna could tell that he was not the manly type of person her brother was. He seemed to be very sensitive, just like this world's Natsu. It reminded her of Elf-nichan when he was younger, always doubting himself and never spewing any of his manly speeches.
"When you fell from so high up…. I thought that you were gone!"
Lisanna turned her head a little and saw her sister's counterpart. She was way different than the Mira-nee back home. Instead of the Gothic attire that her sister wore, this Mira wore a purple shirt with lavender trimmings with a matching shirt that revealed her stomach and her cleavage. Her hair was loose, reaching her back and had a ponytail tied that pointed upwards. Mira-nee had her hair tied with a ribbon and had a strand that covered her forehead. She didn't feel that menacing aura the Mira-nee had back home. Instead she felt warmth and comfort coming from this woman. It was strange yet oddly familiar to Lisanna. Mira-nee was definitely scary, but she was her sister. They cared for each other greatly. However, Mira-nee would never act this caring openly to others. The day Mira-nee acted nice would be the day that she died. Oh wait…
At her words, Lisanna's suspicions were correct. This world's Lisanna really was dead. Whatever it was that took her into this world, it was trying to complete something that this world lacked, namely her.
"Lisanna!" They suddenly both cried. Mira-nee and Elf-nichan, or at least their counterparts, were hugging here very tightly. They were crying their eyes out; unaware of how awkward Lisanna felt when they hugged her. They just looked happy that she was okay, even though she wasn't their Lisanna.
"Don't ever go anywhere ever again!"
"WAAAH! LISANNA!"
Lisanna wasn't sure how to react to the situation she was in. This world's Mira-nee and Elf-nichan were so relieved and happy that she was safe, yet they didn't know that she wasn't their real sister.
"Umm…"
She wanted to say something, but she couldn't. The counterparts were hugging the girl that looked like their sister, who should be dead. How could she ruin the moment for them? How could she even say it? Strangely for Lisanna, she started to smile. Whether it was this world or her world, Mira-nee was Mira-nee and Elf-nichan was Elf-nichan. The people of both worlds wanted her to be safe. Sure, she felt guilty that she was impersonating herself technically, which sounds so confusing. But she would feel even guiltier if she told everyone that she was not of their world. She couldn't say anything. So she thought it would be best to just play her part. She had no idea how to get home, and everybody was happy. She would give up the chance to go back home so that everyone around her could be happy. It was a difficult decision for her, but for the sake of these people, she would have to endure it. Her eyes started to water, which many people interpreted as her being happy. With the return of Lisanna, the Guild started to party.
Despite not being in her world, the festive spirit of Fairy Tail never changes. Everyone was having a good time, which brought a smile to Lisanna's face. Though the spirit never changes, it would be hard to get used to the people here. She saw Cana over in the distance, wearing very formal attire and refusing to drink! Lisanna was in shock over Cana's personality, but reminded herself that this is a different world. She looked around her and saw that Levy was arguing with the scary blonde lady, Gray was wearing too many clothes, and Nab kept running around actually doing work. With all of differences made in this world, Lisanna knew that it would be a difficult task to blend in.
As Lisanna was enjoying the party, a hand suddenly grasped hers and led her somewhere. Lisanna looked at the owner of the hand and saw Natsu taking them to a private area. He looked down and shuffled his feet, looking nervous. Lisanna took one glace at this Natsu and immediately noticed the differences. This Natsu looked he was scared of everything. He didn't look her in the eye, and looked like he was about to burst out crying. She also observed that when he was with the scary blonde, he would also apologize, or try to run away from her. The Natsu she knew back home was the complete opposite. Her Natsu was confident, never afraid of anything. He would face things head on, and would never run away from a fight. As far as she knew, nothing scared her Natsu.
"Umm…" This Natsu started to say.
"What is it Natsu?" Lisanna asked, hoping to lure him into the conversation he was trying to start.
"Umm… I… I…" after a while, Natsu hugged her. Lisanna was shocked at Natsu's sudden action.
"I'm so glad you're alive…" Natsu said his voice cracking. Lisanna could tell that he was about to cry, judging from his voice. She returned the hugged and patted his hair.
"When I heard what had happened, I…" Natsu broke down crying. Lisanna felt the tears sting her eyes. It pained her to see Natsu sad, no matter what world she was in. After a while, Natsu detached himself from Lisanna and wiped his eyes, looking thankful.
"Thanks, I needed that…" He said, grasping her hands with a blush. He looked down at her hands and his eyes widened.
"Lisanna, your ring…" Natsu started. Lisanna looked to her hand. She knew that she had a ring on that finger, but that was from her Natsu. What ring was this Natsu talking about?
"My ring?" Lisanna questioned.
"The ring I gave you when I proposed." Lisanna looked at Natsu in shock. This world's Natsu had proposed to this world's Lisanna as well? Lisanna never responded to Natsu's last sentence, which Natsu had interpreted as a bad thing.
"You didn't like the ring did you?" Natsu asked sadly which brought Lisanna out of her stupor. She realized she might've hurt his feelings inadvertently by not answering quickly. It saddened her to see Natsu, no matter which world she's in, to be sad. She tried to answer, but he beat her to it.
"It's okay; I mean it was a pretty crappy ring. I'm sorry for not getting you a better one, but once I save enough I'll buy you the best ring in Edolas!... I hope…." Natsu declared nervously. Lisanna smiled sweetly at Natsu. Her Natsu was never nervous about anything, while this one seemed to be like a nervous wreck. As she was about to reply, she was interrupted by a yellow flash flying past her, crashing into Natsu.
"Natsu! You idiot, why the hell are you over here with Lisanna all by yourself? She may your fiancé dammit, but everyone deserves to be around her, not just you, you asshole!" The scary blonde yelled at Natsu while grabbing the front of his shirt and shaking him furiously.
Lisanna just looked on in shock. She looked around her to see if anyone was going to stop the blonde, but instead, everyone was either ignoring her, or looking on with a smile on their faces. Lisanna figured that whatever she was doing to Natsu must've been a regular occurrence in the guild.
"I'm sorry Lucy! I'll do whatever you say!" Natsu said desperately, wanting the blonde known as Lucy to stop attacking him.
"Stop apologizing goddamnit!" Lucy yelled at him. She then smirked evilly. She proceeded to sit on Natsu whiling viciously and painfully pulling on his leg.
"Oh, there it is!" Lisanna looked over and saw the Edolas Warren looking very excited.
"One of Lucy's 48 different Torture Techniques! Technique Number 28: The Give Up Already Lock!" She turned her head and found the Edolas Max standing next to Warren. They seemed excited that Lucy was "torturing" Natsu as they said.
As everything was going on, Lisanna couldn't help but smile. Everybody was partying like they were the Fairy Tail back home. She may be in a different place, but the spirit of these people was exactly the same, making her feel as if she never left. She still had a lot of questions, but at least she found out two things: This world was called Edolas, and that Fairy Tail never changes, no matter what world you are in.
Two Weeks Later
Lisanna was not in a good mood. When she woke up this morning, she immediately went to the bathroom and threw up whatever she ate last night. After that, she had the worst headache she ever experienced in her life. She was only awake for two hours and she felt like crap. Currently, she was in the Guild, sitting on a table with her head in her hands.
"Lisanna are you alright?" Mira asked worriedly.
"Yeah, I'm fine." Lisanna said unconvincingly. Mira had a frown on her face. Lisanna was not fine at all. She knew that Lisanna was sick, but she didn't know what she was sick with. She was vomiting, but she didn't have a fever, so the flu was out of the question. She didn't look like she had a stomach virus, so what was making her sick? As Mira was thinking of the possibilities, Lisanna got up from her seat.
"Sorry Mira-nee, but I'm gonna take a nap."
Mira looked on worriedly. She was only awake for two hours and she was going to take a nap? What was wrong with Lisanna? Mira decided to take action, and contacted the Guild's medical advisor. Since they were criminals, no doctor would want to help them. However, there was a doctor nice enough to lend his medical expertise to the Guild, and subsequently became the medical advisor.
Later in the Afternoon
Lisanna and Natsu sat in the Guild infirmary, waiting for the doctor to show up. Lisanna was terribly nervous because she knew what she was wrong with her, while Natsu was nervous because he wanted to know why Lisanna was sick. The doctor came in with Lisanna's files and sat down in his chair.
"Well Ms. Strauss after doing many tests, I have found out what exactly is ailing you." The doctor said. Natsu leaned forward in his chair, anxious to hear the results, while Lisanna looked down at the floor, her hair covering her eyes.
"Ms. Strauss, you're pregnant."
Natsu stood there in shock, not believing what he had just heard. Lisanna was pregnant! He knew that Lisanna had sex only once, and that was with him. This was his child that Lisanna was bearing! Natsu was so happy to hear the news.
Lisanna on the other hand, was not so thrilled. While she had sex only once, she did it with her Natsu. The Natsu back in Earthland as these people called it. She was the girl that wanted to have sex only after she was married, but with Natsu, she knew that she would never love anyone as much as she did with Natsu, so she did it. She did it the day before she was transported to Edolas. Lisanna started to cry, which Natsu and the doctor thought to be tears of joy. Lisanna was devastated. Her child is going to be born without his/her real father. Sure this Natsu may look like her Natsu, but it wasn't the same person. Her Natsu was never going to know that he had a child, and her child would grow up never knowing her real father.
Natsu and Lisanna stepped out of the infirmary, Natsu looking happy, and Lisanna… not so much. While she was overjoyed that she was going to have a child, her previous thoughts haunted her. She hasn't said a word since the doctor told her the news. She was nervous about how to tell the Guild. Within the two weeks that she was in Edolas she learned many aspects about this world. She learned that Guilds have been abolished, and Fairy Tail was practically the only Guild left, technically making her a Dark Mage. She was technically a criminal by law, and she was bearing a child. Her baby would grow up to a world of crime and violence. Worst of all, she didn't think she would be able to protect her child. Magic was scarce in Edolas, and no human possesses magic within them, unlike the humans of Earthland. Worst of all, she wasn't able to use her Take Over in Edolas. She was left practically defenseless! Natsu sensed her worries and grasped her hand with his hand, bringing a smile to her face. As they left the infirmary, they saw the worried glances of their Guildmates. They wanted to know what was making Lisanna. Their concern brought a smile to Lisanna's face. The people here were as caring as the people in Earthland.
"What did the doctor say?"
"Are you alright?"
"You're not sick are you?"
Lisanna raised her hand which signaled everyone to be quiet. Lisanna and Natsu looked at each other and took a deep breath. Lisanna stepped forward and delivered the news.
"Everyone, the doctor told me…" Lisanna paused, unable to finish her sentence. Her worries suddenly came back to her tenfold. Her hesitation brought worry to everyone at the Guild. Natsu stood next to her and grasped her hand. His action calmed her down, bringing a smile to her face. She took another deep breath and started over.
"The doctor said…. That I'm pregnant."
The Guild stood there in shock, not believing what they had just heard. Lisanna, the cute and innocent little sister of Mira and Elfman, was pregnant. They all knew that Natsu and Lisanna were engaged and figured that he was the father, but it was still shocking. The pure and innocent girl with the weakest, most cowardly member of the Guild. After a while, a reaction finally came out of the Guild.
"EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEHH HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH?!"
"Lisanna is what!"
"Are you serious?"
"I can't believe Natsu actually did it!"
Lisanna looked amused at their reactions, while Natsu looked sort of offended. Everyone in the Guild was talking amongst themselves, sharing their disbelief with each other. They couldn't believe the news at first, but after a while, they started cheering. Mira ran up and hugged Lisanna, congratulating her, while Lucy tackled Natsu to the ground and started shaking him.
"Dammit Natsu look at what you did! You got Lisanna pregnant and we're wanted criminals! How the hell could you do this to Lisanna you dumbass!"
"I'm sorry Lucy, please don't hurt me!"
"What's wrong Lucy? Angry because Lisanna is having Natsu's kid and not yours? You should've expected as much, no one is going to want to have kids with a crazed amazon woman." Levy said, taunting Lucy.
"What the hell did you just say, you skinny mechanic?!" Lucy retorted, resulted in a fight between the two.
Lisanna laughed at the liveliness of the Guild. Despite the Guild's criminal status, they were overjoyed that a new life was coming into the Guild. The Guild promised to Lisanna that they would protect the child from the Royal Army no matter what happened. Lisanna smiled at their promise.
The next nine months are going to be quite interesting for Lisanna.
A/N: Jesus this was the hardest chapter I've had write, which is ironic because it's also the shortest chapter I've written so far. This took me so long to write, it's ridiculous. I'm not particularly proud of how this chapter turned out, but I needed to get this done it was in my computer unfinished for the longest time and it was driving me crazy.
Despite that, I hope you guys enjoyed the chapter. I've always wondered how Natsu and Lisanna's kid would turn out to be like, and be sure to look out for him/her in the Edolas Arc! I hope you guys liked the idea of Lisanna having a kid.
The next chapter will begin with Episode 1 and 2 of the anime.
