Hello everyone! How's everyone doing? Sorry for disappearing for a while. I've been travelling all of last month and just got back home this month. Hope you've all been doing well.
Now I know that people were saying the "Mirajane" thing about the last chapter was confusing and made the chapter a bit uncomfortable. I totally get that and I would like to apologize about that. When I started making Nega Fairy, I wanted to tie it in with my Teen Titans' story. However, after looking back on certain things I came to the conclusion that this was a bit too early to try something like this, so I apologize about that. From here on out, I will be keeping this story strictly in the Fairy Tail universe, however I have not changed the fact that this story takes place near my Teen Titans' story. I just had to remember that this story should stand as a story alone, and not on the back of any other stories I write. So just for clarification, Albedo is not a fan of Mirajane at the moment because he believes she worked with Ben Tennyson once to defeat him (which happened in the Teen Titan storyline). If you don't understand, just forget about it :) It'll be resolved by next chapter probably.
ENJOY!
Nega Fairy
Chapter 4 Armors, Dragons, and Islands
In a land far, far away lies the kingdom of Fiore. A small peaceful nation of 17 million, and a place filled with magic. Found in every home, bought and sold in every market place. For most, magic is merely a tool, a mundane part of everyday life. For some, however, magic is an art, and they've devoted their lives to its practice. These are the wizards. Banded together into magical guilds, they ply their skills in search of fame and fortune. Many such guild dot the landscape of Fiore. But there is a certain guild in a certain town that soars high above the rest, one from which countless legends have been born. A guild that will no doubt continue to create legends well into the future. Its name is Fairy Tail.
"How did he know you, Mira?" A voice rung in Albedo's ear, but he couldn't seem to open his eyes. Albedo then heard Mirajane's voice, "I don't know. I've never seen this…boy before."
Albedo then moaned in disgust, and Natsu asked, "Is that guy awake yet?"
"Obviously not, Natsu." Lucy said.
"How long can one guy stay asleep? We've already saved the guild masters, and I beat that windbag, Erigor." Natsu groaned, "This guy is still taking his nap, like he's sooo tired."
"Leave it alone, flame head." Gray then growled.
"Where did he come from?" Albedo heard Erza's voice over him, and his eyes opened wide. Albedo was laying down on a bed in the basement of the Fairy Tail guild hall, and he was surrounded by Cana, Erza, Mirajane, Elfman, Natsu, Gray, Happy, and Lucy.
Albedo immediately jerked forward off his bed, but Erza placed her armor-plated hand on Albedo's chest, "Wait, calm down."
Albedo looked at Erza and then the other guild mates, and he growled, "Where am I? Who are you?"
"My name is Erza Scarlet. I'm a wizard from Fairy Tail." Erza calmly said to Albedo, who shook his head in disbelief, "What is a Fairy Tail? Where am I?"
"You're in Magnolia Town." Natsu said, as if the answer was plain and simple, "You marched down the street in your dinosaur take-over form, like last week."
"Last week?" Albedo said in disbelief, "What do you mean, last week?!" Albedo tried to lift himself up again, but Erza rested her hand on his chest again, "Wait, you can't go. Your body is still healing. We're trying to help you-"
Albedo growled, "I don't need your help, human." Albedo slapped Erza's hand away from him, and this caused Erza to grumble something under her breath. Albedo tried to lift himself off of his bed, and this caused all the wizards in the room to back away and give him space.
The moment Albedo tried to stand on his two feet, he fell to the ground in pain. Albedo groaned, "What's…happening to me?"
Erza looked back at Lucy and Cana, and she then ordered, "Go get Master Makarov! Tell him that the boy is awake!"
Albedo groaned as he looked up and met eyes with Mirajane. Mirajane blinked in confusion as Albedo growled, "You must be enjoying this, She Demon."
Mirajane was about to respond when Elfman growled to Albedo, "How about you stop insulting my sister, okay? Real men don't insult women."
Albedo, however, ignored Elfman and continued at Mirajane, "You think I don't know you…I know you. You were with Ben Tennyson…at the Plumber's base."
"Who's Ben Tennyson?" Gray asked, and then Happy shrugged his little shoulders, "Beats me."
Natsu then nodded to Albedo, who was still lying on his stomach, "Hey man, do you think you could get better soon? Like maybe by tomorrow? My fight with Erza is tomorrow, and I'd really enjoy it if I could fight her in peace."
Albedo heard Natsu's request and then he groaned as he grabbed his stomach, "That's…redundant."
"Out of the way, Natsu." An older, wiser voice rung in the basement, which reminded Albedo of Azmuth's voice. Albedo looked up to see an extremely short elderly man, who was mostly bald, but had hints of white hair around the out rims of his head. The elderly man had a nice cut mustache, which was the same color as his hair. The elderly man had on an orange hoodie, which had the Fairy Tail symbol placed in the chest area.
"Master Makarov." Erza nodded in respect, and Makarov looked down at Albedo, who grumbled, "You…must be in charge."
Makarov nodded, "Well, you could say that. What's your name, young man?" Albedo glared at Mirajane, "I'm surprised the She Demon hasn't told you who I am."
Mirajane then blushed and said to Albedo, "I don't know who you are! And can you stop calling me a demon! I've left that title behind me."
Albedo stared hard at Mirajane, but then Makarov nodded at Albedo, "What is your name, young man?"
Albedo looked at Makarov then nodded, "I am Albedo, of Galvan Prime. I am…creator of the Ultimatrix."
"The what?" Cana asked, as she held a mug of alcohol in her hand, and then the Ultimatrix blurted out, "Error. No history log of Albedo creating Ultimatrix prototype. No connection to Primus. Error. Reboot required. Error. Reboot not successful."
"What is that thing?" Lucy asked, as she pointed at the red Ultimatrix on Albedo's arm. Albedo tried to lift himself up, but this caused Erza and Mirajane to move over to his side and help him. Albedo growled to Mirajane, as he unsuccessfully tried to struggle, "I don't want your help, monster."
Mirajane then growled back to Albedo, "How about you stop being such a jerk, and let us help you?"
Albedo was then placed in the bed on his back. Makarov then moved over to Albedo's side and he nodded, "You can stay here and rest for as long as you need to. Your body seems to be extremely exhausted. You seem nearly void of your magical energy."
"I was pulled through an unstable wormhole." Albedo nodded, "Even a hyper-evolved Vaxasaurian would have trouble surviving inside of a wormhole of that magnitude…"
Albedo then heard Gray ask, "So, you're saying you were transported from somewhere other than Magnolia Town? We thought you just stumbled in the city."
"We also thought you were a dinosaur monster." Natsu said in disappointment, and this caused Albedo to groan, "Sorry to disappoint you, pink haired one."
Natsu then smirked, "Nah, it's okay. The name's Natsu. Natsu Dragneel." Albedo then winched at Natsu's sudden change in attitude.
Makarov then nodded to Albedo, "Where are you from, Albedo? You said you are from Galvan Prime, but that is no village we have ever heard of. Where in Fiore is Galvan Prime?"
Albedo shook his head, "Fiore? What is a Fiore?" Albedo then began breathing harder, "Is that the name of the planet we're on? What sector…of the galaxy am I in?"
"We're in Earthland." Mirajane nodded, and Albedo narrowed his eyes at her, "I didn't ask you, woman."
Mirajane then quickly growled back, "Fine." Mirajane turned and started upstairs and called out, "If you need me, Master Makarov, I'll be at the bar."
Makarov then looked at the other young wizards and nodded, "That is a good idea, everyone. Let's give Albedo more time to rest. Everyone go upstairs for now."
Lucy nodded, "Yes master." Lucy waved at Albedo, "You get some rest alright?" Albedo looked away from her and grumbled.
Lucy frowned then turned and asked Erza, as the young wizards began upstairs, "What's his problem?"
"No clue, Lucy." Erza nodded, "But I must say, I have a feeling Fairy Tail is about to get very strange."
CRASH!
A loud crash shook Albedo out of his sleep. Albedo's eyes jolted open, as he felt the entire guild hall shaking.
Albedo moved to stand, but then looked down to see he was not in his normal attire. Albedo had on a clean white t-shirt, and baggy brown pants. Albedo shook his head, "Where are my-"
Albedo's throat then felt like it was closing in on itself. Albedo began having a major coughing fit. After a few seconds, Albedo put his hand over his mouth and coughed for the final time. Albedo groaned in pain, as he rubbed his chest.
'There is something different about this world, and its atmosphere. My human lungs are still trying to adapt to the new-'
BOOM!
Another loud bang broke Albedo's train of thought, and he winched. Albedo then yelled, "What is going on out there?!"
Albedo then stood to his feet, and then blinked in shock. "At least I can stand again, so that's a plus."
Albedo then began moving towards the stairwell and made his way out of the basement. When Albedo made it to the upstairs guildhall, he was surprised to see no one inside the guild hall. Albedo looked around in shock, 'Where is everyone?'
Albedo walked through the doors of the guild hall, and then he saw where all the Fairy Tail guild members stood. Almost everyone in the guild stood in a large circle watching as Natsu and Erza fought each other.
Erza was in a new armor that peaked Albedo's interest. This armor was dark red mainly, but also had several orange and black patterns over it. Several parts of the armor were dressed like flames, but others resembled dragon limbs and dragon wings. Erza held a red and black sword in her hands, she stood waiting for Natsu to attack her.
Both of Natsu's fists, to Albedo's surprise, were engulfed in flames. Albedo shook his head and said aloud, "What is he? A metahuman? An alien?"
"What do you mean?" Albedo heard to his side, and he looked to see Happy, Lucy, and Gray standing next to Elfman and Mirajane, who were watching Cana count money next to a score board. On the board there was Erza's name and Natsu's name, and under each name there were several tally marks.
Albedo then asked, "Are you all taking bets on who will win in the fight?"
"Sadly." Lucy said with a sweat drop, "These guys are crazy."
Gray nodded, "Erza's gonna destroy Natsu. Plain and simple." Happy then nodded and said, "Aye!"
Lucy then growled, "Hey, you little double crossing cat! I thought you'd be betting on your partner, Natsu!"
Happy shook his head, "No way. Natsu's gonna get destroyed, Lucy. This is Erza we're talking about."
Albedo blinked at Happy, then looked at Erza, who continued to stare down Natsu, as he continued on a pointless rant about how he's gotten stronger over the last few months. Albedo then nodded and thought to himself, 'That woman…she certainly looks powerful. Her natural body build presents strength. And she must be strong, if so many people have placed votes on her to defeat the pink haired boy. Not to mention, she held her own against several of my alien forms…where am I?'
"Hey, new guy!" Cana called to Albedo, who jerked his head over in her direction, "What is it, drunk?"
Cana then lifted her mug and asked, "You wanna place a bet before the fight continues?"
Albedo shook his head and grumbled, "No thank you. I have no interest in pointless fights." Elfman then called out to Albedo, "Oh come on, little man." Elfman walked up and slapped Albeod on the back, and Albedo yelped in pain, "A manly man wouldn't have a problem placing a small bet on a fight."
Albedo then growled in pain, "Don't hit me so hard, buffoon. I'm still recovering from be shot into an unstable wormhole-"
"Come on." Mirajane smiled at Albedo, "Just place a small bet. I put my bet on Natsu." Albedo then turned away from Mirajane and growled, "I don't wish to bet on anything. And I don't wish to talk to you, either."
Elfman then frowned, "Lighten up, man. Mirajane's my older sister. She's just trying to be nice."
Albedo then nodded at Mirajane, "You weren't being so nice when you tossed Vulkanus on top of me." Mirajane winched at hearing this, but then Elfman said, "Sorry, but my sister doesn't even have the strength to toss a sack of flour." Elfman then looked at Mirajane and then quickly said, "No offense, sis."
"None taken, Elfman. Who's Vulkanus?" Mirajane asked, then she shook her head, "You may have me mistaken for someone else from your…home, Albedo."
Albedo shook his head, "Trust me. I don't forget faces. You look like the monster that attacked me, and you even have the same name of the monster. There is no coincidence at all."
"What were you and I doing, that caused me to so call attack you, back in your village?" Mirajane then tilted at Albedo, who couldn't help but have his face turn bright red, "Well…I was about to kill Ben Tennyson and take his…my Omnitrix, so I could revert back to my Galvan form."
"So you were about to kill someone?" Lucy asked in shock, and then Mirajane shook her head, "Oh yeah, that makes even more sense. You might want to explain yourself now."
Albedo then growled, "I'm not explaining myself to you, witch." Mirajane then narrowed her eyes at Albedo then acted completely out of character, "Don't call me a witch, alright?"
Albedo was about to say something, when Mirajane then saw a flash out of the corner of her eye, and she grabbed onto Albedo and yanked him forward, "LOOK OUT!" Albedo was yanked out of the way, as Erza's sword sailed passed his head and stabbed into the guild hall's door.
Albedo looked over at the fight, and realized that not only had the crowd backed away from the fight, but also that Natsu had disarmed Erza and taken her sword away. Albedo yelled, "Watch where you throw sharp objects, Pink One!"
Natsu then yelled back to Albedo, as he kicked Erza in the chest, and she backed away, "Sorry, dude!"
Lucy cried out to Albedo, "You nearly got your head cut off." Mirajane then looked at Albedo and nodded, "I don't remember ever attacking you, but now that I've saved you, does that make us even?"
Albedo then narrowed his eyes at Mirajane and growled, "Not even close."
"WWWOOOOWW!" Albedo heard and he looked over as Natsu sailed into the air and landed in front of him. Natsu growled, "A knee to the face, Erza? That was a low blow!"
Erza, who was charging at Natsu head first, yelled back, "You tried to break my arm, Natsu!" Erza's red and black gauntlets were engulfed in flames suddenly, and then her fist then became engulfed in flames.
Natsu growled back to Erza, "That's cheating! First you use an armor that uses my element, then you just start copying my signature moves?!"
Albedo shook his head, "Does she have the power to control flames at will, but needs an armor to gain access to these powers? Or is it the armor that is giving her that power altogether?"
"Ask when they're done punching each other's faces in!" Gray asked as the young people moved out of Erza and Natsu's way. Erza drove her knee in Natsu's chest, and Natsu backed away. Natsu then punched forward at Erza, who ducked under the punch and delivered a powerful flaming uppercut to the young dragon slayer.
Natsu was sent flying upwards, but this caused Erza to then grab his leg and then toss him back to the middle of the street. Natsu punched his flaming fist in the ground to regain his leverage and he came to a complete stop in front of a series of local stores.
Erza clapped her hands together, and as he pulled her hands apart she summoned a long spear made completely of magma and flames. Erza cried out, "SPEAR OF THE DEMON KING!"
"That's new!" Cana said in awe, and then Macao cried out, "She must have learned a new move while she was on her last quest! That Erza just doesn't know when to stop upgrading those armors."
"She has multiple armors…" Albedo said, remembering all the armors Erza pulled out in their last duel, "Like that human Anthony Stark?"
"Who's that?" Lucy asked, and then Albedo shook his head, "What planet did you say this is, again? How come no one here knows anything about Galvan Prime or Earth? Tony Stark and his Avengers were infamously known throughout the universe."
Erza slashed her spear down at Natsu, who stepped to the side and barely dodged Erza's new lethal weapon. Natsu swept his leg under Erza's feet, but Erza saw this coming and she quickly hopped in the air to avoid Natsu's attack.
As Erza lifted into the air, Natsu then put on his normal mischievous grin, "I got you now!" Natsu hopped forward as he punched both his hands together and a red magic circle appeared in front of him, and he yelled, "FIRE DRAGON'S IRON FIST!" Natsu's right fist was then suddenly engulfed in flames and he punched forward at Erza's chest. Erza however stabbed her spear down to meet Natsu's punch.
As the two met, a flash of light exploded between them and a sound banged across the street that sounded like a nuclear blast. The force of energy sent shockwaves towards the guild members, who backed away in fear of the power of the two mages.
Makarov, who was simply watching the battle closely, sighed, "Shame. I'm gonna have so many lawsuits when they're done."
Albedo was pushed back on his back, and Happy landed on his face. Albedo growled to the same cat, "Get off of me, vermin."
Happy lifted himself off and then said, "Sorry about that. Natsu's going all out on Erza."
Albedo looked at Natsu, who was now covered in sweat, and then he looked at Erza, who was sweating but not even close to the degree of Natsu's sweat. Albedo then shook his head, "This…Natsu, will eventually run out of energy."
"You think?" Mirajane asked, and Albedo nodded, "Anyone with at least a class 11 intelligence could see that Natsu is running low on power. Also, he seems to be fighting purely on instinct. Instinct will only be able to take someone so far."
Natsu looked at Erza and smirked, "Well, this battle's been a whole lot of fun." Erza blinked in confusion as Natsu's fist then began engulfed in flames again, "But now is the time we end this."
Albedo then shook his head, "They're going to leave this entire city block if they don't stop."
"The city block?" Makarov turned to Albedo, and then frowned, "Erza and Natsu have been able to destroy entire cities on their own. This fight is most likely going to end with the city in shambles."
"Are you not going to even try to stop them?" Albedo asked then Makarov looked back over at the fight. Erza grabbed hold of Natsu fist, as Natsu drove his fist into her face. Erza then yanked Natsu's hand forward, causing the young wizard to stumble forward. Erza then simply said, "You still haven't learned how to eat your own fire, right?"
Erza then drove Natsu's fist into his own face. Natsu groaned in pain, then Erza yanked Natsu forward again and drove his own fist into his jaw. After doing this one more time, Erza then drove her knee right in Natsu's ribcage.
Natsu backed away in pain, but Albedo just shook his head in disbelief, "How can someone take that much punish…" Albedo looked to see Natsu wipe blood off his smiling lips, "…with a smile on his face."
"That's because you didn't calculate the most important thing in your equation, Albedo." Makarov looked back at the young Galvan, "Spirit. Where Erza trumps Natsu in power, Natsu has this indomitable spirit that forces him to continue to fight on."
"Spirit?" Albedo said as if he were skeptical, "If you think that's what makes a difference in a battle, believe what you want. I'll look at the hardcore facts."
Natsu smirked at Erza, "That was pretty smart, using my own flames against me, Erza. I gotta admit, that attack stung." Natsu then punched both his hands together again and a similar magic circle appeared in front of Natsu's chest. Natsu then took a deep breath and yelled, "FIRE DRAGON'S ROAR!" Natsu then fired a large column of fire out towards Erza.
Albedo's eyes widened in shock and excitement, "Incredible! How is it possible that he can produce flames inside of his own lungs! Is he a metahuman?"
"A metahuman?" Makarov looked at Albedo in confusion, "We don't have metahumans in Magnolia Town. Natsu uses an ancient magic known as Fire Dragon Slayer Magic."
"Do these metahumans utilize magic where you come from, Albedo?" Lucy asked, then Albedo shook his head, "No. Magic…is not a thing that metahumans use."
"Well, you use Take-Over magic, obviously." Elfman nodded, "Does that run in your family, like it does in mine?"
"What do you mean?" Albedo growled, and then he shook his head, "Magic? I do not use magic. I'm insulted that you'd even associate me with such foolish parlor tricks as magic." Albedo lifted the Ultimatrix and growled, "This is the Ultimatrix. It allows me to transform into over 10 million alien life forms. It is the universe's ultimate weapon. Not magic."
"Correction." The Ultimatrix said, "Due to disconnection with Primus, Ultrimatrix only has 173 alien DNA samples."
"What?" Albedo grumbled and began twisted the faceplate of his Ultimatrix, and then the holographic interface arose, and several wizards look in awe at Albedo's Ultimatrix.
"Oh!" Lucy nodded, "So you have a limiter, which acts as a REQUIP magic tool, and it allows you to transform into different Take-Over forms."
"NO!" Albedo growled and looked up at Lucy, "It's not magic. I am a scientist. I believe in science, not magic. This is strictly science."
"Sure." Happy nodded, "But if you aren't a Take-Over wizard or a REQUIP wizard, then what wizard are you?"
Albedo then growled, "I'm not a wizard. Period. End of Story. Bye Bye." Mirajane rubbed her chin, "But if you're not a wizard, then what are?"
Albedo then growled, "I am a Galvan."
"What's a Galvan?" Cana raised her eyebrows as she began chugging down a barrel of alcohol, and then Albedo was taken aback, "You shouldn't consume that much alcohol, human. That will eventually poison your bloodstream."
"Don't worry about it." Macao laughed, "She can hold her liquor." Wakaba then laughed, "Yep. She drinks enough for the entire guild and she barely even acts like she's affected."
Albedo shook his head, "You humans are very strange." Albedo then ran his fingers through his white hair, "If we're not on Earth, but you all are human beings, is it possible that I'm on an alternate Earth. That wormhole may have carried me across the universe to an Earth that closely resembles the Earth that Ben Tennyson is on."
Albedo then looked at Mirajane, who then blushed and asked, "What is it now?" Albedo then shook his head, "Nothing. That would just explain how I was able to run into someone who is identical to the same Mirajane who attacked me back on the Earth I was trapped on."
Albedo then said, "Ultimatrix. Establish universal communication device." Albedo then nodded to the young wizards, "If I can pick up on any communication signals being transmitted throughout the galaxy, then I might be able to get in touch with someone who can help transport me back home."
"Oh, cool." Lucy said, and then Gray shook his head, "I have no idea what you just said, honestly."
Albedo then nodded, "Well in simpler terms…where are your clothes?" Gray looked down and realized that he was out of all his clothes besides his blue and black underwear. Gray then yelled, "Oh man! Why does this keep happening to me?!"
Albedo shook his head and then he heard his Ultimatrix beep. He looked down and then the Ultimatrix said, "Error. No communication signals detected. No connection to Primus. Error. There is no connection to Primus. Warning, no connection to Universal codex. Possible situation, Ultimatrix has been transported to an uncharted Universe."
Albedo blinked in confusion then he shook his head, "Uncharted universe…what?" Albedo then looked around in fear and then gulped, "Are you saying…I'm trapped here?!"
Before any of the young wizards could say anything to Albedo, Natsu, who was unconscious, collided with Albedo and both of the youngsters rolled on the ground. Albedo then growled, "Get off of me, you imbecile!"
Natsu then groaned in pain, and then Makarov stood and exclaimed, "The fight is over. Erza is the victor." Erza nodded in respect and yelled to Natsu, "You put up a good fight, Natsu."
Natsu groaned again, then Albedo growled, "Someone get him off me!" Albedo then heard his Ultimatrix say, "Uncataloged DNA detected. Scanning." Albedo's Ultimatrix then engulfed Natsu in a ray of bright green light, and then Albedo blinked in shock, "What is going on with this useless device?!"
"Are you okay?" Albedo heard, as he sat at the bar inside the guild hall working on his Ultrimatrix. Albedo grumbled to Mirajane once again, "I'm fine. Stop bothering me."
"Really?" Mirajane said, as she put a glass of water in front of Albedo, "You're sweating really hard. You've been mumbling to yourself for the past 3 hours. And I thought you were going to try to start being nicer."
Albedo looked up at Mirajane and narrowed his eyes at her, "Listen here, Mi-ra. I don't care if you aren't the person who attacked me with Ben Tennyson-"
"I was not." Mirajane rolled her eyes at Albedo, as several Fairy Tail members laughed and joked behind the two, "I told you, I've never heard of Ben Tennyson. I'm just trying to be nice. Are there any nice people back in your home world?"
"No. Plain and simple. There are no nice people. There are only people like Ben Tennyson, who deny me the right I have to return to my normal and beautiful form."
"Normal form?" Mirajane asked, as Happy floated next to Albedo, "Hey Mirajane. Can I get some drinks for my table? Drinks are on Natsu, since he lost."
Albedo ignored Happy and continued, "There are people like Azmuth, who deny my genius intellect, and sabotage me at every corner I turn to. Trying to steal my genius and far superior ideas."
"Who's Azmuth?" Happy asked Albedo, then Mirajane nodded to Happy, "I have no idea. And how come no one told me Natsu was awake? He shouldn't be out of the infirmary, Erza did a real number on him."
Albedo then began waving his arms in front of Mirajane, "Excuse me! I'm sitting right here, complaining about my own personal problems, and you're worried about the pink haired boy who can summon fire out of his body?"
Albedo turned and looked at Happy, "Tell me this, blue feline." Happy then sighed, "My name is Happy." Albedo, once again, ignored Happy and continued, "Who sounds more interesting? Listening to one of the smartest being in this universe and several others? Or a pink haired man child who can control fires?" After finishing his sentence, Albedo started breathing very hard, waiting for either Mirajane or Happy to answer his question.
Mirajane looked at Natsu, who was sitting at his table next to Lucy, Gray, and Erza. Natsu had two straws in his nose and was swinging his head around. Lucy frowned in disgust, while Gray laughed and pointed at Natsu's actions. Mirajane then looked at Albedo, who had a vein sticking out of his head and then she sighed, "If I honestly answer this question, your head might explode."
"Albedo." Master Makarov began walking out of his office and towards Albedo. Albedo looked over at Makarov and he nodded, "What is it, old man?"
Makarov nodded, "You still haven't told us exactly where Galvan is. If we knew, we could help you."
Albedo should his head as he continued to mess with his Ultimatrix, "No need." As Albedo made a final adjustment, he lifted the Ultimatrix in his hand and yelled, "Yes! I've done it!"
Everyone in the guild grew quiet, then Happy laughed to Albedo, "What did you do exactly?" Albedo smirked at the cat and nodded, "Something amazing, Happy the blue cat. Something that your simple mind could not begin to comprehend."
"Did you find a way to get back home?" Mirajane asked, and then Albedo sweat dropped and sighed, "Well, in a way."
"Did you find a way to talk to the people back in your village, so you can send a SOS message out?" Akzack asked Albedo, and then he nervously laughed, "Well…not exactly…"
Cana then shook her head and said, "Did you find a way to produce alcohol out of thin air, so I can stop charging drinks to Macao's tab?" Macao looked over at Cana and growled, "What the hell? That was you charging my tab?!"
Albedo looked at Cana and then shook his head, "No…but that answer is quite simple. All you'd have to do is build a device that can manipulate the number of protons in the air that can then change the elements in the air. After-"
"Boring." Natsu then yelled and Albedo winched, "Excuse me? That isn't boring. Manipulating atoms is nothing boring. IT IS THE FUTURE!"
Natsu looked at Albedo then yawned, "Are you gonna change back into the big dinosaur monster? Cause THAT would be awesome!"
Albedo then growled, "No, I'm not changing back into that form. I was transported here by a weapon of power known as the Tesseract. I've built a sensor into my Ultimatrix that can sense and detect different powerful energy sources on this planet. With any luck, I'll be able to detect and then find the Tesseract. With the Tesseract I'll be able to-"
"Are you doing a monologue right now?" Albedo heard Romeo ask, and Albedo looked down at the small boy, who continued, "I mean…if you are, that's cool. I just thought only villains like to monologue."
Albedo shook his head and growled, "No. I'm not monologuing, so shut up." Romeo whimpered and nodded, "Oh, okay." Albedo looked around and nodded, "Where was I before I was rudely interrupted? Oh yeah-"
"You wanna fight me, Albedo?" Natsu randomly asked, then everyone in the guild hall groaned in displeasure. Albedo blinked in confusion at Natsu, "What are you…asking me?" Natsu then shrugged as if his question was simple, "I thought I was using simple enough words for you, man. I saw you fight Erza, and all that was pretty cool! I wanna fight you next. So, you wanna fight?"
Albedo blinked in disbelief, "Of course not, pink one. You just finished losing to the armor girl." Erza nodded, "I have a name, you know." Albedo, however, ignored Erza and continued, "I don't wish to waste anymore of my time on pointless fighting. Anyways, I know I could defeat you in a fight."
Natsu smirked at Albedo, as if he was baiting him the entire time, "If that's so, why did I knock you out in the middle of your fight with Erza?" Albedo blinked in disbelief and then he growled, "You did not knock me out! I was rendered unconscious due to the unstable wormhole that I travelled through. You try travelling through an unstable dimensional opening and staying conscious."
"Sure thing." Natsu said, as if he were actually interested in trying Albedo's new and unusual challenge, "Where can I find one?" Albedo growled at Natsu's question, "Are you serious?"
"Pretty much." Lucy shook her head.
Gray then laughed, "Yeah, the guy's an idiot. Tell him to go out and conquer a hurricane, and he'll actually try."
Natsu heard this, and he turned to Gray and growled, "Hey, that hurricane better be glad I was going easy on 'em. I had it on the ropes until-"
"Forget about that." Erza waved Natsu off, as he continued to rant about getting defeated by a hurricane. Erza smiled at Albedo, who grumbled something and stood from the bar, "You know what, Albedo? You said you don't have a home to go back to yet, why don't you say here?"
Albedo blinked at Erza in confusion, but Erza continued, "You'd be surprised how different all of us really are. But that hasn't stopped us from being a family. You wouldn't have to worry about where you'd sleep, or who you could go to in times of need."
Albedo put his hand up as Erza was about to continue. Erza saw this and she stopped as if she were surprised, "What is it?" Albedo looked at Erza, then Makarov and then he nodded, "No."
"What?" Elfman asked, then Albedo simply said again, "No."
"No, as in no way, thanks for accepting me into your family?" Natsu laughed, then Albedo growled, "No imbecile. No as in, no. No, I reject your offer."
"What?" Lucy asked, "Why?"
Albedo looked around at all the guild members and then he calmly said, "The last person who said they wanted me to be a part of his family," Albedo pointed towards the doorway, "Blasted me into a portal that sent me to this backwash planet!" Albedo then looked at Makarov, "No offense."
Albedo then continued, "I'm honored that you all would think that I'm interested in becoming a part of your amateur science convention."
"Science convention?" Levy asked, and Jet and Droy shrugged in confusion.
Albedo then nodded, "But that isn't how the real world works. Maybe here in Fairy Land-"
"Fairy Tail." Mirajane rolled her eyes in disgust, but Albedo continued, "-you all may just accept any random blow off who drifts in with the wind. But in the real world, people don't just meet on the first day and get pulled into someone's family." Albedo pointed at Erza and he growled, "So, no. I don't want any part of your 'family'. I'm fine on my own."
"Geez." Gray said, "That's pretty harsh for a guy who would've died if our guild hadn't have taken you in and fixed you up." Albedo then nodded, "Bill me for the expenses. I'll pay Makarov back."
Albedo turned and began walking towards the door when he heard above him, "Wow, I think I actually found someone in this guild hall that I can actually stand."
Albedo looked back, as all the Fairy Tail guild members looked up at the second floor. On the second floor of the guild hall, Laxus Dreyar sat in a wooden chair leaning back watching all the guild members. Laxus appeared as a very muscular and tall man with blue and gray eyes. His spiky blonde hair was slicked back, although a few strands stood at his forehead. Laxus had a lightning bolt like scar on his right eye, which stood out on his face. Laxus had on what appeared to be large headphones. He wore a leopard-print, orange tunic with dark-lined sleeves reaching down to his elbows, and fur on the lower ends. Laxus also had a bright red cape with a Fairy Tail mark on the back of it.
"Laxus?" Macao said in disbelief, "What a pleasant surprise?"
Natsu yelled to Laxus, "Hey Laxus, how about you stop being such a jerk?!"
Laxus then snarled to Natsu, "How about you watch your manners, dog?" Natsu growled, "What did you just call me, you arrogant bastard?!"
Albedo looked up at Laxus and thought to himself, 'I scanned the second floor of this building several times. He wasn't here before. How did he appear there so fast?'
Laxus locked eyes with Albedo and he laughed, "So, what's your deal, new guy? I'm digging the loner act. I totally understand why you'd think you need to bail on these losers."
"Laxus!" Makarov said, "That's enough." Laxus, however, continued at Albedo, "But what I'm surprised about is how you'd turn down a chance to fight pinky, down there." Laxus pointed down at Natsu, who growled, "If YOU wanna fight, Laxus, I'll happily give you a fight!"
"Me against you? Sorry, but I wouldn't feel right after that." Laxus smirked, "I wouldn't want to have Mirajane have to try to put your pieces back together after I'm done with you."
Mirajane then muttered, "What a jerk…" Natsu growled to Laxus, "I could beat you, LAXUS!"
Laxus smiled, "You couldn't even beat Scarlet! You wouldn't last a second against me. Remember last time?"
Natsu winched at Laxus' mention of 'Last Time' and this caused Albedo to look around in confusion. "What happened last time?" Gray then looked at Albedo and nodded, "Laxus fired lightning down Natsu's throat. Natsu couldn't eat the lightning and his vocal cords were burnt out for a month."
"It was really quiet, I'm guessing." Albedo laughed and Mirajane turned and glared at him. Albedo then gulped and nervously laughed, "I mean, that's a bit too far, don't you think."
Laxus called down to Albedo, "OH, give me a break. The little brat was asking for it." Natsu growled, "WHO YOU CALLIN A BRAT?!"
Natsu's fist became engulfed in flames and Erza yelled, "Natsu?! Stop!" Natsu was about to hop forward at Laxus, when Laxus pointed his finger at Natsu's face and a large bolt of lightning fired out and flew straight for Natsu.
"Look out!" Lucy yelled as the bolt grew larger and it became obvious that the large bolt was going to hit more than just Natsu. Before anyone could react, the room was engulfed in a flash of red light and Diamondhead hopped in front of Natsu. The lightning hit Diamondhead, and although Diamondhead's body absorbed the lightning, Diamondhead was forced backwards several feet and into Natsu.
Laxus grew a smile on his face and he laughed, "Oh brother! You must be kidding me?!" Laxus pointed at Diamondhead, as he lifted Natsu up, "Looks like I was the moron for once."
Diamondhead looked up at Laxus and growled, "What do you mean, for once? You're not always a moron?"
Laxus smirked at Albedo, "For someone who doesn't want friends, you're willing to hop in front of a lightning bolt for pinky. Looks like you're just as weak as the rest of these losers. You should've let him splatter on the ground."
Laxus stood and waited for Diamondhead to retaliate against him, but Diamondhead simply nodded and slapped his Omnitrix. Diamondhead was engulfed in a flash of red light and replaced by Albedo's human form, "I'm one of the smartest, if not the smartest being in this universe. I will not be goaded into a fight with you, you oversized double A battery. But let's get one thing straight, next time you call me weak or a moron, I'll destroy you."
Albedo turned and lifted his Ultimatrix. A grid appeared off the faceplate and pointed to where Albedo needed to start moving for the closest energy source. Albedo started moving towards the arrow and he walked out of the guild hall. Laxus watched carefully as Albedo walked out. After Albedo was gone, Laxus then laughed, "Wow…what turn off? That guy seemed like such a tease, am I right, Mirajane?"
Mirajane glared at Laxus, who smirked at her, "Oh, sorry. That was rude of me right?" Mirajane was about to growl something to Laxus, when Makarov shook his head and said, "Laxus, you ran him off. We were close to getting to him, and you just attacked him and sent him off!"
Laxus laughed to Makarov, "Chill out, old man. I didn't attack him, I attacked pinky." Laxus then smirked at Natsu, who was snarling at him, "Anyways, if you wanna blame anyone, blame Natsu. If he could've taken the attack, then that guy wouldn't have jumped in the way."
"You're such an asshole." Cana growled to Laxus, who just smirked at all the Fairy Tail members, "Oh, don't be so, you, Cana. That guy was gonna leave anyways."
Erza looked at Mirajane, then they both looked at the door as the door flapped in and out, over and over. Erza then sighed, "Great…now he's out there, alone."
Mirajane frowned, "Something tells me…that's how he wanted things."
Albedo continued walking down the street, as he realized someone was walking right towards him.
Albedo looked up to see a strange cloaked man walking towards him. Albedo then heard several thumps around him. Several of the townsfolk, who were just standing around in peace, were all now unconscious on the ground. Albedo blinked in confusion and he asked him, "What is going on?!"
Albedo activated his Ultimatrix, when he realized the cloaked mage know as Mystogan was closing in towards him. Albedo readied himself as Mystogan walked past him.
Albedo blinked at the Mystogan character. Mystogan was an extremely tall, and had most of his body covered by a dark blue cloak. Mystogan had his arms and legs covered with several bandages. He had on a blue bandana with a silver forehead protector attached to it, and had a green mask over the bottom half of his face. On his back, Mystogan carried several Magic Staves that were held in a dark green strap.
Mystogan walked past Albedo, and both of them met eyes. Albedo's eyes widened as he locked eyes with the mysterious man. Albedo asked, "Who…are you?"
Mystogan simply said to Albedo, "I'm…no one. I'm an outsider. I don't belong here." Mystogan then glared back at Albedo, "Let you." Mystogan then quickly turned from Albedo and continued walking towards the Fairy Tail guild. Albedo blinked in confusion and he gulped, "That guy…seemed intense. What did he mean he was like me? How did he know I was an outsider?"
"Alert! Alert!" Albedo heard and he looked down at his Ultimatrix. Albedo shook his head and said, "What is it now, Ultimatrix?" The Ultimatrix then said, "Tracking large source of energy coming from island-like landscape, miles from your location."
Albedo heard this and then he nodded, "Is it the Tesseract?" The Ultimatrix remained silent, and then Albedo growled, "Is it the Tesseract?! I need to get home."
Once again, the Ultimatrix remained silent, and then Albedo shook his head, "Fine. Looks like it's time for me to go to this island place." Albedo's Ultimatrix then said, "Plotting course to location known as Galuna Island."
Albedo then grumbled, "What the heck is a Galuna Island?"
There you go guys. I know this wasn't exactly an action packed chapter, and I get that. Sorry guys, but this chapter wasn't meant to be action packed. I just wanted to get Albedo to Fairy Tail and then off on his first adventure. Hope you all enjoyed.
