Erza's POV
What should I do. I thought to myself.
After passing out after Levy read the spell I had woken up in a dark room surrounded by nothing.
"Natsu." I grumbled. When I figured out how to get back I was going to punish him for giving us that Lacrima.
Oh well, looks punishment will be sooner than later. I thought as a bright light shone.
But where I ended up was not where was I expecting. Instead of walking up in the hotel room on the floor surrounded by all the girls I woke up in an oddly familiar bedroom.
I looked around and realized it was my old bedroom in my house in Rosemary Village.
But how? I thought to myself as memories of my past flashed in my mind. Everything in the village was destroyed in the attack. Whatever cruel joke of Natsu's this is I am going to give him a punishment when I find him for it.
Well if I am to find him I must get dressed I thought trying to push away all the dark thoughts of my past. Especially any of the ones including the tower.
"Requip" I say expecting to be able to requip into my armour. Though the armour was heavy and sometimes uncomfortable it made me feel safe and strong. That I am not helpless and can fight off the bad things now so no one else has to do it for me. But instead of feeling the heavy armour I felt the soft fabric of a dress. Why did my magic not work properly?
"Requip ." I say more angered this time but it once again did not work. I was letting my emotions get the best of me. It is just that anytime I think of my village, the tower or my friends from the tower I get upset. In fact my past, though I have moved on immensely from it, is still one of my weaknesses as it stirs up so many emotions for me.
"Hugh," I groaned a little louder than I meant to.
"Erza if you are up go do your chores." A familiar voice called from outside the room I was in.
Chores? Since when have I had chores and beside why is that voice so familiar. Then it hit me that was my father's voice.
"But that's impossible." I said as I rushed out to where the voices were coming from.
"What's impossible?" Another voice which belonged to my mama said.
"Uhhhh... that I forgot about my chores." I said innocently.
"Well you better get on that remember we go to the matchmaker today to try to find you a husband." My mama answered.
"Right I will be quick."
"Remember it I'd at 2 so be in town by 12.
"I will Mama." I answered back as I ran out the door into the courtyard. We used to live on a big property that had our main house, a courtyard and a small place for the animals. We had such a big property because it was a family farm and because my father was one of the few veterans of the war that were in our town. Since my father had such a honour my family had always held a great responsibility over my head as their only child to uphold the honour. But I always hated it I always wanted to just be me but I had to be the perfect daughter. Which included letting the matchmaker chose a husband for me.
Time skip because chores are boring and irrelevant to the story line
"Erza you are late." My mama said as I rode up to the building the preparations for the matchmaker are at. In my village when girls come of age they get dolled up for the match maker to choice them a husband.
"Sorry Mama."
"Come quickly we must prepare you for the matchmaker she said pulling me into the house towards my grandmother and one of the ladies that were helping everyone get ready."
When we got inside the women quickly shoved my behind a changing screen and into a awaiting bath.
"Burr its freezing." I complained.
"If you had been on time it would have been warm." My mama answered.
More motivation for me to be quick. I thought to myself.
While I was in the bath and everyone was helping me clean I noticed something weird though. My guild mark was missing from my shoulder.
Hugh, this day just gets worse and worse. I think to myself. And I still have not found out what is going on.
After the bath I was rushed over to two more women who yanked my hair into a bun tied with a scarlet ribbon that matched my hair. Then it was off to the dress maker for my dress. Here two women helped me get properly dressed. (The dress from the match makers scene in Mulan). Following getting dressed I was rushed off to another woman who did my makeup.
I look like a clown. I thought after I was able to look at the handiwork of the woman. I had white powder all over my face, dark eyelashes, pick blush, blue eyeliner and bright red lips.
"One last thing Erza." My mother said as she unwrapped a flower hair clip and placed it in my hair.
"Now, no man would ever want to refuse you." my grandmother said while attaching a cricket in a cage to my waist band. "Just for luck." She whispered. My grandmother was a superstitions women and believed crickets to be good luck.
But I don't want just any man. I thought to myself especially since I have no idea what was going on. I was just going along with people till I could find someone or something to tell me what was going on.
"Now get going or you are going to be late." My mother said handing me an umbrella and rushing me out the door.
Outside there was a group of girls heading towards the match makers house all dollied up like me. I joined the group and because I had no idea what I was doing I just copied what they were doing.
When we got to the Match maker's we all propped open our umbrellas and crouched down behind them as the match maker burst through the doors.
"Erza." the match maker called as I waited for her to call m last name. Until I remembered no one will call me scarlet as no one knows that last name.
"Present." I say.
"Talking without permission." She said scribbling something on a paper she had as she ushered me inside.
"Hmm." she said as she was looking me over once we were inside.
"Too skinny. Not good for bearing sons." She said taking more notes. "Recite the final ammunition." As I noticed the cricket escaped its v=cBut what she didn't notice but I did was the cricket had escaped its cage.
"Fulfill your duty calmly and respectfully. Reflect before you snack... ah act this shall bring you honour and glory."
"This way." She said dragging me over to a table. "Now, Poor the tea. To please your future in-laws you must demonstrate a sense of dignity and refinement. You must also be poised." She said but my attention was on the cricket which had now hopped into the tea which the match maker picked up to drink.
"Uhm, excuse me." I whisper.
"And silent." She demands.
"I will just take that back." I say trying to grab the cup from her hands but she would not give it. Which ended up in me spilling all of the tea in the cup on her and her falling so her dress ended up on fire from the coals in the fireplace. I responded by grabbing my fan and trying to cool down the fabric but it just caught it on fire more.
"Put it out." She yelled as I grabbed the rest of the tea to poor on the cloth but ended up splashing it all over her face.
"You are a disgrace. You might look like a bride but you will never bring your family honour." She said chasing me out to where my disappointed mother and Grandmother where.

I was sitting out in the garden thinking both of how I was going to get back too Fairy Tail and the shame I just caused my family when my father came and sat beside me.
"My what beautiful blossoms we have this year. But look one is late. I bet when it blooms it will be the most beautiful of all." He said as he puts the flower hair clip that I had laid in my lap back into my hair. I knew he was talking about me. If only he could see the real me at Fairy Tail maybe then he would be proud of me.
Bang, bang. The warning drum sounded warning us of important travelers.
"What is it." I say as we both get up to see who is coming.
When we got to the gate we saw that it was a messenger of the King.
"I have a message from the king. We have been having troubles with a group of Zeref worshipers and the king requires one man from every family to fight against them in war." The messenger said as they started to hand out a summoning to a male in each family including my father who has an old battle wound which causes him to not be able to walk without a cane from his last battle in war.
"Father you can't go." I say trying to pull him back to the house.
"Erza it is my duty." He says excepting his summoning and pushing me aside.
Time skip
I was sitting outside in the rain contemplating what had happened today. After getting the summoning my father and I had a fight which ended up in me hiding outside. I can't just let my father fight in battle, especially with his bad leg, there is no way he would survive. I thought to myself. And on top of my father having to go off into war I still have not found out where I am. Then a thought popped into my head. What if I went into the war instead of my father. I am just as good as a fighter now and besides who cares if I am not a guy.
Now just to get some armour and it just so happens my father still has his from his battle. I thought the only real problem would be escaping without anybody hearing.
I quietly snuck into my parents room where my father kept his summoning on the bedside table and I stole it replacing it with my flower hair clip. I lost my parents once already I am not going to let them go a second time.
"Goodbye." I whispered as I left their room and ran to where my father keeps the armour.
"If it is a man they want it is a man they will get." I said as I used the sword to cut my hair short enough to tie it into a small bun. Though it was not the best solution and it hurt me a little to see my hair fall to the ground but it made me look a little less feminine. Finishing my hair cut I then proceed to wrap up my chest to make it look a little flatter though didn't help much besides making the armour fit better.
"Requip." I say putting on the armour which made me feel more comfortable, in fact I almost felt normal. After finishing manning up I went to the stable and saddled up our horse.
"Here it goes." I whispered to myself as I ran the horse out of the gate and into the streets, "No turning back now." But when I was not that far from home when I heard my father scream my name. They must have found out I was gone already.
"I am sorry papa this is for the best" I said to no one as I kept going on my journey o the camp.
Time Skip
It was just barley morning when I reached the camp.
Okay, now I just have to waltz in there and act tough. That's all just act tough. I thought to myself.
"Hugh, I can't do this." I said as I attempted to do my best male impression. "No I must do this for my father." I say as I begin my walk to the camp. "But it is going to take a miracle to get me into this camp."
"Did I hear someone say they needed a miracle because I am here to save them. Let me hear you say Argh" A voice said as a lizard came out from behind some rocks.
"Ahhh." I scream and hide behind my horse.
"Close enough. Erza I am here to save you for I am the great and mighty Mushu." The lizard said.
"A lizard was sent to save me."
"No I am a great and mighty dragon."
"Dragon but you are nothing like what Natsu described. You are so small and weak looking."
"For your information I am travel sized for your on convince. Beside my powers are too powerful for your mortal mind to comprehend. For instance I can see right through your armour." He said which creped me out so I gave him a slap.
"That's it dishonour, Dishonour on your family. Dishonour on you. Dishonour on your cow." He said pointing to my horse.
"Okay, okay I am sorry."
"Okay, new rule no more slapping me. I am here to help you so let's get this show on the road. Cricket grab the bags." He said to my cricket from earlier as he started to walk towards the camp.
How did the cricket get here? I questioned myself but no one else.
The whole walk to the camp I was giving myself a pep talk but nothing was working. I have no idea why I am so nervous I do this all the time. I guess this time I have so much more on my plate than any other fight before. Finally when I walked into the camp with Mushu hiding in my armour I was surprised to see a familiar face.
"Sho, Wally, Simon?" I questioned that can't be there are here too besides Simon is dead.
"Sorry who are you?" Sho asked.
"Uhhhh my name is uhh..." I said not sure what I should say
I could say Erza but that might be too famine. Then there was my nickname Titania but that defiantly was to feminine. I could use Titan but...
"Titan? TITAN, TITANS, TITANS TITANS TITANS!" A random boy shouted running around.
What was he reading my thoughts?
"Eren what did I tell you about messing with other animes." A extremely short man said grabbing him by the collar and dragging him almost out of the camp.
"Buttttt Heichou." The random boy said.
"Don't you Heichou me." The short man said.
"Is Corporal Shorty picking on Eren? I am going to give him a piece of my mind!" A girl said charging at the short man before being held back by a blonde guy.
"Mikasa please don't kill anyone." The blonde said.
"Did I hear someone say titans." A crazy chick with goggles said running around. "Where are the titans!"
"Calm down shitty glasses." The short guy said.
"Buttttt Heichou." The girl with goggles said
"Don't you Heichou me... wait are you and Eren ganging up on me? I can take you both blindfolded."
"In your dreams Shorty." The goggles girl said.
"Everyone back to the castle now." A blonde guy with huge eyebrows said. He kind of looked like the blonde boy from earlier I wonder if they are related. Who every they were they are sure a weird bunch I wonder if that is what people feel like when they see Fairy Tail for the first time.
"You going to tell us your name or what?" Wally demanded surprising me.
Wow these guys are different than what I remember.
"Umm it is Ezra." I say messing up my name to make it sound more manly.
"Ezra hey?" Simon said giving me a weird look.
"Yup Erza." I say punching Sho on the arm.
"You want to fight... you know what I will let you go this time chicken boy." He said with a sneer as I turn around to avoid a fight.
"Hey say that to my face you wimp noodle." Mushu said which Sho took as me saying t.
"Now we have a fight." Sho said pulling everyone into a fight.
"Men what is all the commotion about." A voice called that must belong to our higher up.
"He started it." Everyone said pointing at me.
I heard someone walk over to me and when I looked up I was surprised to see who it was. Standing over me in armour was none other than Jellal Fernandez
"I don't need anyone causing trouble in my camp." Jellal said.
"Sorry." I replied sheepishly.
"What is your name?"
"Ezra."
"Erza hummmm." Jellal said with a hidden smirk on his face.
"Well thanks to your new friend you guys will clean the camp until it is spotless and after I want to see Erza in my tent. And get plenty of rest cause tomorrow the real training starts."
"Grr." Everyone grumbled at me while we went to go clean and after we were done I went to go find Jellal in his tent.
"Sir you wished to see me." I said as I got to his tent.
"Please come in." He said.
"So Ezra." Jellal said with a smirk.
"Yes general." I responded not knowing what to say.
"You created quite a fuss out there care to explain."
"Well umm... I umm...they ummm... I fought with Sho." I said innocently.
"That's just like you Ezra." He said emphasizing the name.
"Jellal, I know you know I am Erza." I said.
"Commander." he coughed. "You must call me commander."
"Well than I know you know commander."
"So Ezra what do you know about where we are?" Jellal questioned.
"I know we are in a alternate universe where nothing we know is true..." I began to answer.
"Mulan." Jellal interrupted.
"What?"
"The alternate universe we are in is Mulan and nothing that we know to be true actually happened."
"How do you know." I ask.
"I woke up this morning in a alternate universe where I am suddenly not only a good guy but the Commander of an army fighting against a group of Zeref worshipers. Then later in the day I found out I have a cross dressing women in a camp that is just for men. And it makes me wonder why I have not sent her home yet."
"Because I am the best fighter you have." I say innocently.
"Well Ezra then if you are the best fighter than you better get going because training starts tomorrow and try not to get into too many more fights."
"Thank you commander."
Whew.. I sighed as soon as I was out of earshot from Jellal.
He is the only person who I feel so pathetic and embarrassed around. And he irritates me so much. Hugh, In truth I do not know what he makes me feel. Besides I already know that he does not like me he has a "fiancé" I thought while making quotations in the air. I know it was just some excuse to say he does not like me without actually saying it.
"You like him don't you." Mushu said coming out of my armour.
"I do not besides he told me he had a Fiancé."
"You can't stop love Erza even with a lie."
Time Skip
"Wake up sleepy head. I made breakfast, look its porridge and it is happy to see you." Mushu said waking me up and then stuffing porridge in my mouth.
"Am I going to be late?" I ask with a mouth full of porridge.
"No time to talk. Now remember it is your first day of training so listen to your teacher, play nice with the other kids and no fighting. Unless the other kids want to fight then you kick the other kids butt."
"But... wait I got to get going." I said realizing how much I actually slept in."Requip." I say to quickly change into my clothes.
"Magic! You are magic." Mushu said in surprise.
"Will explain latter." I said running off.
"Wait you forgot your sword. My little baby off to destroy people." Mushu said to the criket.
I quickly ran to camp and luckily got there just barley on time.
"Hey look guys who decide to come join us." Sho said laughingly
"Hey Ezra are you hungry." Wally asked.
"Cause I owe you a knuckle sandwich." Sho said getting ready to fight with me.
"Soldiers you will assemble swiftly and quietly every morning." Jellal said coming out of his tent to join us. "Anyone who does otherwise will answer to me." he said taking his shirt off which made me blush though I tried not to show it.
"Woo, tough guy." Sho says.
"Sho looks like you just volunteered to go first. Retrieve the arrow." Jellal said shooting an arrow into a tall wooden pillar.
"I'll get the arrow and I will do it with my shirt on." Sho says going up to the pillar.
"You seem to be missing something." Jellal says at the last moment as he gets to weights on some rope and placing the ropes in Sho's hand. "This represents disciple and this represents strength. To get the arrow you need both."
Sho then quickly began to climb the pillar but fell down just as quickly. Time after time each person to try the challenge failed including me.
"Looks like we got a lot of work to do." He said beginning our training.
Time Skip
"Grr." I growled as I walked past the pillar that still had the arrow stuck in it. I can complete every other challenge Jellal throws at us but the one that matters the most I cannot do. I didn't want to beat the challenge just to beat the challenge no I wanted to beat Jellal.
In anger I found the weights and tried to once again climb the pole but failed. Then I thought instead of carrying the weights up the pole why not wrap them around the pole and use they as a tool. Soon I realized I was almost all the way up the pillar.
Just a little bit more. I thought to myself as I was being cheered on by a group of soldiers that had collected at the bottom of the pole.
"Go!" They were all screaming and before I knew it I was able to reach the arrow.
Time for my revenge. I thought. As soon as Jellal exited his tent I threw the arrow to the ground right at his feet, surprising him and causing him to jump back in surprise. He then looked up at me sitting on top of the pillar so I waved at him and smirked.
Time Skip
I decided to take a nice refreshing bath but what I did not expect was Sho, Simon and Wally joining me.
"Ezra didn't expect to see you here." Simon said.
"And I didn't expect to see you here either. Well I am going to go now so good bye."
"Come on we all got off on the wrong foot so let's start over. I am Wally." Wally said
"I am Simon." Simon said last.
"And I am Sho the King of this group." Sho said
"Well nice to meet you guys but I must be going now." Under normal circumstances I wouldn't mind sharing a bath but I can't let anyone know I am a girl.
"Come on stay a while...Ahh something just bit me.. Ah snake!" Wally said after seeing Mushu who must have been what bit Wally.
I quickly whistled for my horse so that I could escape without being seen.
"Hugh, what a night." I say.
"What a night for you what about me." Mushu said cleaning out his mouth with toothpaste.
Time Skip
We had found out the next day that we were needed on the front lines on battle so Jellal had made us get up extra early. Now we are walking to the battle field and mostly everyone is bored and tired but we are almost there. The guys have been occupying their time with annoying songs including one called A Girl Worth Fighting For.
All of a sudden everyone grew silent as we saw the town that we were supposed to meet the General at was completely in smithereens and engulfed in flames.
"I don't understand we were supposed to meet the tropes here." Jellal said in worry.
"General look." Jellal's advisor called pointing to the bottom of a hill. At the bottom of that hill was the ruins of what was left of the Tropes caravan. What was left was little, but we did manage to find the Generals helmet and a doll that must have belonged to a little girl from the village. We then used what we found to make a make shift memorial since we did not have time to do anything else. Jellal placed the helmet on a sword we stuck in the ground and beside it I lay the doll of the little girl.
While we were walking back to the camp in a depressed mood a firework that my horse was carrying in a cart went off giving away our position. Suddenly a rain of arrows were shot at us one hitting Jellal but luckily it only went through his armour.
"Get out of range." Jellal yelled as we all scrambled to get away. "Save the cannons." He ordered us once he realized they were aiming for the cannons.
We then began taking the cannons out of the cart but soon the cart caught on fires where were down in supplies. What we did manage to save we began to use as our counter attack against the Zeref worshipers.
"Hold the last cannon." Jellal ordered as we waited for the smoke to clear so we could survey the damage we did. But the Worshiper's army was bigger than we thought and they began to charge at us. "Prepare for battle if we die, we die with honour."Jellal said.
That's when I got an idea if took the last cannon I could create an avalanche that would bury everyone alive.
"Aim for the leader (I decided not to give the leader a name)." Jellal commanded Sho as he began to light the cannon. But instead I shoved Sho out of the way, grabbed the cannon and ran closer to the mountain peak.
"Erza wait." I heard Jellal call but I had to do this it was the only way everyone would make it out alive.
I finally got in position to fire the cannon but before I could light it the leader's bird knocked the match out of my hand.
"We got to find it." Mushu said hoping out of my armour but instead of finding the match I grabbed Mushu and used him to light it. It went flying into the mountain side causing the snow to dislodge and create an avalanche just as I planned. When the leader realized what I had done he took his sword and slashed me in the side.
I quickly ran up to where Jellal was and grabbed his arm but a wave of snow pushed us towards a cliff. Luckily my horse found me so In was able to ride it aginst the current until I saw Jellal was heading towards the cliff. I quickly turned my horse around and went to go pick up his unconscious body. After I picked him up I saw a arrow with a rope flying towards me so I grabbed it, tied it to my saddle and shot it back at the soldiers. Just as soon as we all began to fall of the cliff the rope went snug and I realized it was the men pulling us up. When we were all up on land again I laid Jellal down on the snow and he began to regain consciousness.
"Step back guys give them some air." Wally said.
"Ezra you are the craziest man I ever met and for that I owe you my life. From now on you have my trust." Jellal said holding my arm.
"Way to go Erza."Wally said.
"Erza is the real king of the mouton. " Sho cried.
Jellal then got up and with a smile offered out his hand to help me stand up. I took it and tried to get up but a pain shot through my side and I fell down in pain.
"Arhhhh!" I cried in pain as held my side.
"Erza hold on." Jellal said with worry in his voice as blood seeped through my armour and I went unconscious.

Jellal's POV
When I woke up this morning I never imagined any of this would happen. Originally Meredy and I were going to take down this dark guild but when I went t get us water I started to feel weird and passed out. When I woke up I was in an army camp being woken up by my advisor because the new recruits were starting to reach the camp. I was confused by this news but I went along with it figuring I must be dreaming or something. That was until I saw almost the group of soldier, that were supposed to only be men, the unmistakeable scarlet hair of Erza Scarlet. What puzzled me the most is why she would be in a army of all men. That's when it hit me we were in an alternate universe more specifically in the story of Mulan which is one of my favourite stories as Mulan reminds me of Erza. And whenever I think of Erza it makes me happy.
Hugh, I can't think like this though I ruined her life, killed Simon and almost sacrificed her to Zeref. I should not be allowed to even mention her name let alone have any feelings for her. Then again she did almost kissed me but I was too stupid to take my chance. And there was the fact that even after I ruined her life she still kept the name that I gave her as a kid. I mean she could have changed it to anything she wanted to once she got to Fairy Tail but she chose to remain being called Erza Scarlet. How I wish if circumstances were different that I could change her name again to Erza Fernandez.
Psh, who am I kidding she would never want me. I thought to myself. Beside we have more pressing concerns right now like if Erza is going to be alright. Right now she is in a tent being looked after by a doctor.
"Ezra is just fine, he lost a lot of blood but that other than that I think he will have a speedy recovery. One thing though Ezra is a girl." The doctor whispered to me after emerging from the tent.
"Thank you." I say back politely as I rush into the tent.
"Erza are you okay..." I said but got interrupted by my advisor who came rushing into the tent.
"So it's true?" He said as I stormed from the tent not wanting to see what he would do to Erza.
Erza's POV
"I knew there was something wrong with you. A women." Jellal's advisor said pulling my hair out of the bun and holding me out in front of the guys.
"Hugh!" The guys gasped.
"Treacherous snake." The Advisor said throwing me into the snow.
"My name is Erza. I did it to save my father." I said looking up at Jellal. He had both anger and worry in his eyes..
"High treason." The advisor called .
I didn't mean for it to go this far." I pleaded more to the adviser than Jellal besides Jellal already knew I was a girl.
"Ultimate dishonour." The Advisor said again spitting a little in my face.
"It was the only way please believe me." I pleaded again. I wanted to say something to Jellal but I could not give away that he knew.
"Hmmp Captain." The advisor said giving the decision of my life to Jellal. Suddenly my horse started to act up and tried to come protect me
"Restrain him." Jellal snapped as a soldier ran to hold my horse back as Jellal went over to his own horse to grab his sword..
"Hugh!" The guys gasped.
"You know the law." The advisor said. But I was ready to take my punishment even I'd it was in the hands of Jellal. He came over to me and raised his sword and I lowered my head in preparations for the blade kill me. But instead of feeling the blade hit my skin I heard it thump as it was thrown to the ground.
"A life for a life, my debt is repaid." He told me with relief on his face that he wouldn't have to kill me. "Move out." He then said turning to the men.
"But.. you can't just." The advisor complained.
"I said move out." Jellal demanded I could tell he wanted to get as far away as he could from me.
When the men where gone Mushu came out of hiding to come comfort me.
"I should never have left home." I said shivering to warm myself up.
"Come on you did it to save your father's life. Who knew you would end up shaming him, dishonouring your ancestors and losing all your friends. You just have to learn to let things go." Mushu said with tears in his eyes.
"Maybe I didn't go for my father maybe I went to prove I could do things right now that I am older. So that when I looked in the mirror I would see someone worthwhile. But I was wrong, I see nothing." I say picking up my helmet and throwing it. "I will have to face my father sooner or later, let's go home."
"Don't you worry everything will turn out just fine. We started this thing together and we will finish it together." Mushu said giving me a hug. "I promise."
Jellal's POV
This is exactly what I was scared of doing. The reason I try to avoid Erza the best I could so that I would never hurt her again. But for some reason it seems I am prone to do so. Well at least even though I feel bad for doing so I can leave her again but I know she can take care of herself.
Erza's POV
A we were heading home we heard some people so I went over to investigate to see if it was Jellal and crew but instead I saw a few of the Zeref worshipers and their leader still alive.
"I have to go warn Jellal." I said as Mushu, cricket and I hoped onto my horse and rode off to find the army.
Time Skip
In town there was a festival going on to celebrate the army "defeating" the Zeref worshipers.
"Make way for the heroes of china." I heard a man say as the army paraded through the streets.
"Jellal." I called as I rode up to his horse.
"Erza?" Jellal questioned surprised to see me in town.
"The Zeref worshipers are alive they are in the city.'
"You do not belong here Erza go home." Jellal said
"Jellal I saw them in the mountains you have to believe me."
"Erza we got rid of them now go home before you get into trouble." he said riding off.
I knew I had to get somebody to believe me but no one would believe me because I was a women and they probably thought I was crazy. But then everything went silent as the king came out of the palace to congratulate Jellal on his win as well to accept the sword of the worshiper's leader. What no one expected however was the leader's bird to swoop down and take the sword from Jellal and bring it to his master. That must have been a cue because as soon as the bird dropped the sword in its masters hands more worshipers jumped out of dragon meant for the parade. They then kidnapped the king , locked themselves within the palace and brought the king to the balcony for display. Instantly Jellal and the men went into action and tried to get the doors open to the palace gate. They even tried ramming it open but it was forced close.
"Guys I have an idea, follow me." I say as Sho, Wally, and Simon follow me around back. My brilliant idea was to sneak into the castle dressed as women. I found some clothes for the four of us and once we were changed we used our shawls to climb the pillars. Jellal joined us bit instead of changing into disguise he just took off his cape and used it to help him climb the pillar. Once we were inside I explained to the men what exactly they were to do.
"Alright any questions?" I ask the guys.
"Does this dress make me look fat?" Sho questioned earning him a slap from me.
We all walked out in front of the guards to distract them while Jellal hid ready to make his way up to where the king was as soon as the close was clear. Once we had the guards attention the guys pulled out fruit from their dresses which they used to make their chests look bigger and used it to smash against the guards heads. We then proceeded to take out all of the guards which left it clear for Jellal to rush up and take out the leader.
"Simon get the king." I commanded as soon as Jellal had the leader pinned to the ground.
"Sorry your majesty." Simon said picking him the king up and rushing him to safety using some rope put up to hold lanterns on as a zip line.
Soon everyone beside Jellal and I had made it safely to the ground. I was about to go next when the leader turned the tables on Jellal and kicked him off. He then lunged for the rope to slide down to the king but I cut it leaving Jellal and I stranded. I than rushed over to Jellal but found he too did not have any weapons on him.
"You took away my victory." The leader said beating up Jellal more but I threw my shoe at the leader to make him focus on me.
"No I did." I said as I held my hair up in a bun.
"The soldier from the mountain." He said lunging at me but I ran away and managed to lock him on the balcony. But it did not take long for him to break through the door so I kept running.
"What's the plan?" Mushu asked as I ran past him.
"ummmm.' I say.
"What you don't have a plan."
"I am coming up with this as I go." I say as I notice some men outside with fireworks. "Mushu."
"Already on it." He said going to go get some fireworks but as soon as he left the leader found me so I climbed a pillar hoping to get away from him but he cut the pillar casing it to crash through the wall. Not knowing where exactly to go I teetered on the pillar until I decide to climb up onto the roof. From their I lined up a perfect shot from the fireworks but the leader jumped onto the roof ruining my plan.
"Looks like your all out of ideas." He says as I scrambled to find something I could use as a weapon. The only thing I could find however was my fan. But as he went to hit me with his sword I managed to doge and catch the sword between the framing so I could twist the sword out of his hand. Now with the weapon in my position I got into my fighting stance.
"Not quite. Ready Mushu." I say as Mushu brings over the firework.
"I am ready baby." he said lighting up the firework. It then tripped the leader so that he fell down and I used his sword to pin his cape to the roof. I had it lined up properly so one the firework hit him he went flying into the other fireworks causing them to explode killing him in the process.
"Get off the roof, get off the roof I yelled at Mushu and the cricket as I scoped them up so we could slid down a rope to safety. But however I did not stick the landing and ended up crashing into Jellal knocking us both to the floor and dropping the sword.
"That was a deliberate attempt on my life, where is she? Now she has done it what a mess, step aside that creature is not worth protecting." Jellal's advisor said walking down the stairs of the palace.
"She is a hero." Jellal said angrily.
"She is a women she will never be worth anything." He said smirking making me want to punch him.
"Listen you pompous." Jellal said grabbing the advisor by the shirt.
"That is enough." The king said joining us.
"Your majesty I can explain." Jellal said but instead got silenced by the gesture of the king to move aside so he could see me. I quickly step forward and bowed to the king.
"I heard a great deal about you Erza. You stole your fathers armour, ran away from home, impersonated a soldier, deceived your higher ups, dishonoured the army, destroyed my palace and you have saved us all." he said to me bowing to me now. This caused a chain reaction and soon everyone was bowing to me even Jellal.
"See to it that this women is made a member of my council." The king said to the advisor
"But.. but they are no council positions open your majesty." The advisor said.
"Very well you can have his job." The king said causing the advisor to faint.
"With all due respect your majesty I think I have been gone from home long enough." I tell the king.
"Then take this so your family will know what you have done for me." he said giving me his necklace with his crest on it. "And take this so that the world may know what you have done for the kingdom." He said presenting me the sword of the Zeref worshiper.
"Thank you." I say giving the king a hug.
"Is she allowed to do that?" Sho asked causing everyone to shrug. I then ran over to the guys minus Jellal and gave them a hug. It felt good to give them a hug especially Simon.
I then went over to Jellal expecting him to say something but all he said was "You fight good."
"Oh, Thank you." I say disappointedly before walking away and mounting my horse to head home.
"Lets go home." I say as I ride away making everyone cheer as I ride away.
Jellal's POV
After Erza was gone the king walked up beside me and said "A flower that blooms in adversity is the most rare and beautiful of all."
"Sir." I say confused.
"You do not meet a girl like that every dynasty." He said putting his crown back on and heading back up to the palace.
Time Skip
I was getting worried as I neared the garden where my mama and grandmother told me my father was even with the gifts from the king.
"Father." I say dropping to my knees in front of him as soon as he noticed me. "I bring you the sword of the leader of the Zeref worshiper as well as the crest from the king. They are a gift to honour our family." I say presenting him the gifts but to my surprise he threw them on the ground, knelt down beside me hugged me.
"The greatest gift and honour of all is having you as a daughter. I have missed you so."
"I missed you too Papa."
"Ahh." My mother sigs in happy relief as she and my grandmother join us in the garden.
"Great she brings home a sword if you asked me I think she should have brought back a man." My grandmother said.
"Excuse my does Erza live here?" Jellal asked my mother and grandmother as if on cue which caused them to point at me."
"Sign me up for the next war." My grandmother says.
"Honourable..." Jellal begins to greet my father until he sees me. 'Erza uhh... you forgot your helmet, well I guess your fathers helmet."
"Would you like to stay for supper?" I say accepting the helmet.
"Would you like to stay forever?" My grandmother yelled."
"Dinner would be great..." Jellal began to say as we both started to feel weird as everything suddendly began to disappear.
"Erza." Jellal said grabbing me and pulling me into a hug to protect me.
Time Skip
Erza's POV
"Well look at these love birds." I hear Natsu say as I open my eyes to realize Jellal is still hugging me and we are now surround by Natsu, Lucy, Wendy and Romeo.
"Natsu!" I say shoving Jellal away remembering I still have to punish him.
"Erza calm down." Jellal says grabbing my hand to hold me back.
"But Jellal."
"Erza." Jellal says giving me a stern look which cause me to calm down a little.
"Looks like Erza finally found someone who can control her." Lucy said giggling.
"Hey I still beat him in saving the kingdom." I say proudly.
"So what story where you guys?" Lucy asked.
"Mulan." Jellal and I say in unison.
"Erza was quite the fighter even in a dress." Jellal states making me smile.
"Know you know what Erza is like." Natsu said in a scarred tone.
'Haha." We all begin to laugh at Natsu.
"So explain to me that is going on here Lucy." I said sure but it is a long story so lets go find somewhere comfortable.
As we were going to go sit down I held Jellal back though cause I had to ask him something.
"Jellal do you really have a fiancé?" I ask him
"No I just wanted to protect you from me." He says sheepishly.
"Stupid, I love you and I can handle myself." I said angrily.
"I know that but I still hate myself for hurting you."
"Don't blame yourself! I forgave you long ago now it is time you forgave yourself." I demanded more than suggested.
"I will try." he says. "By the way I like your hair longer." He says combing his hand through my hair which it long again to my surprise. He then takes advantage of my surprise and plants a kiss on my lips.
"You to lovebirds done yet." Natsu says making us break up the kiss so we could join everyone else.
Hey guys sorry about the wait with tests it has been hard to write so I may not be able to post anytime soon until after school ends. Anyways for anyone wondering the random crazy people in my story was the crew from Attack On Titan. Recently my friend XoKris10oX and I had a marathoned Attack On Titan and we have been joking around about it for a while. One of the jokes was the fact that Erza's nickname would make eren freak out so my friend mentioned that I should add it. So that explains that. Thanks to the people who have been reading and to let you guys know I have been starting on a new series which will get posted once I finish this one about fairy tail in high school with a twist. Hope you guys will like it. Also sorry for the most of the characters being OOC fairy tail people are harder to write then it looks.
-Sincerely
