Karu, Pyra, and Lumi arrived back at the guildhall about a day or two ago. Pyra had her face resting on the table and said they should probably take a job soon. Karu commented about accepting the 2 million joule reward and stated rent was due shortly. He went over to look at the request board commenting about how varied wizard jobs could be. Mira told Karu to let her know when she finds out which job to take since the guild master was away at conference. He asked what kind of conference. Mira than went onto explain about the guilds and the magic council. Karu commented about not knowing the guilds were interconnected. Suddenly Pyra snuck up behind Karu and said in as scary of a voice she could do, "Then the guys in black would show up." She had a small flame on her finger close to her face. This caused Karu to jump in fear. Pyra then started laughing her ass off and commented about it being too easy. Karu wanted to smack Pyra but decided against it and just commented about her trying to scare him death. Mira than explained to Karu about the Dark told Kartu to pick a job. The two than went on to bicker about the team until Pyra told him she had picked him because he was nice. Lumi spoke up telling Karu not to stick with those two and that he'd get plenty of offers from other teams. Kana than told her she wasn't wearing any clothes aside from her bra and panties. Karu felt kind fo bad for Lumi that she had gotten Gray's stripping habit, but there wasn't really anything they could do about it. The two girl then broke into an argument.
As Karu was expecting Leah approached him and started flirting, "Hey Karu why don't you join the team of love with just the two of us. How about a dinner tonight under the moonlight where your handsome face will shine like the stars in the sky."
Karu replied bluntly, "Do guys really fall for that?" Leah looked down and suddenly jumped back freaking out about Karu's keys and asked if he was a celestial wizard. Happy answered for him saying yes he was and commented about having crabs and stuff. Thus Leah freaked out commenting about fate toying with her and said they couldn't be together. Karu sweatdropped asking what got into her. Mira than explained Leah had a bad history with Celestial Wizards. Before anything else could be said Pyra fell on top of Karu causing him to fall to the floor. Thankfully the pain wasn't enough to also effect Aella. Karu told the two to knock it off, but Lumi said Pyra started it and she was just following through. The two then started arguing again and the whole guild started laughing. A small smile crept onto Karu's face than all of the sudden Leah burst through the door shouting, "Bad News! Eris is on her way here!" This then caused the whole guild to panic.
Karu said, "Wow just mention her name and the whole guild freaks out."
Mira said, "Well she is the strongest woman is Fairy Tail, so she is a bit more than intimidating."
Karu thought to himself, 'I wonder how Emily changed in appearance? I mean I understand me, Lumi, and Pyra's changes considering we are the opposite gender of who we are taking the place of.'
Aella answered, 'I mean I doubt she has changed all that much considering she already was close to Erza's appearance, but we'll wait and see.' Karu nodded and waited for Eris to arrive. He could hear her footsteps though didn't comment about her being a demon or something as he was too distracted with conversation with Aella and his own thoughts of the possible changes in appearance. Eventually Eris arrived and placed the massive monster horn on the ground and asked where Master Makarov was. Mira told her that master was away at conference. One of the guildmates asked her about the horn and she explained what it was. Karu studied Emily's new appearance which wasn't all that different from Erza's aside from her eyes being blue and her hair was a rose red color. She also was just slightly less muscular than Erza, but not by much.
Karu said quietly to himself, "Wow she is pretty." Aella decided to tease him, 'You looooveeee her don't you?' He answered, 'You know as well as I do Emily's always been like a big sister to me. Besides it's not like either one of use can date with our soul split ya know.' She answered, 'Yeah yeah I know I was just joking jeez.'
Eris gave a quick glance and gave a small smile towards him though she hid it from the others. She was happy to see the boy she considered her little brother was safe and sound. All the guild members were clearly nervous.
Eris said in a serious tone, "While I was on the road I heard a few things. I heard Fairy Tail was causing nothing but trouble. Master Makarov may not care, but I certainly do." She then began to dig into pretty much commented about her tearing into everyone and that it seemed like she was taking over. Happy said that was Eris for ya. Karu said she still seemed to be the most sane person here.
Eris than asked, "Are Pyra and Lumi here?" She looked around and saw the two acting buddy buddy with each other. Pyra and Lumi were clearly sweating buckets from nerves.
Lumi said, "Hey there Eris we are just hanging out like good friends tend to do." Pyra followed with an aye. Karu asked why Pyra was talking like Happy.
Eris said, "That's good I'm glad to see you two getting along so well. Though it's only natural for friends to lock horns with each other now and then."
Lumi said, "I don't know if we're the best of friends." Once again she was followed with an aye from Pyra. Karu asked what got into Pyra and Mira explained she was scared since she had challenged Eris to a battle a while ago and it didn't go well for her. The rest of the guild went on to explain how Eris had beaten up the two of them pretty badly.
Eris said, "Pyra, Lumi I need you to do me a favor. While I was traveling I overheard something that has me worried. Normally I would consult with the master, but since he isn't here this is a matter of utmost emergency. The two of you are the strongest wizards here and I could really use your help." Everyone started muttering in shock that Eris had asked for Pyra and Lumi's help. She continued, "We will meet at the train station tomorrow morning." Pyra and Lumi looked each other in the eyes. Karu knew exactly what they were thinking.
Mira said, "Eris, Pyra, and Lumi working together? I never saw that one coming. This could be the most powerful team Fairy Tail has ever seen." The next morning Karu was at Magnolia Station with Plue in his lap. He sighed it was only like 9 in the morning and those two are already arguing.
Pyra was glaring at Lumi, "I hate this! Teaming up with you is the worst idea ever!"
Lumi shot back, "Yeah no kidding. Eris made a big mistake asking a loser like you to come along."
Pyra replied, "Than why don't you take care of it yourself. I don't want to go anyway."
Lumi said, "Sounds like a plan to me than I get to watch her beat you senseless."
Karu sighed and said to Aella, 'Jeez they may be living up to their role a little too well.'
Aella answered, 'You wanna switch out? It can help you get away from their bickering.'
Karu answered, 'Thanks for the offer, but no thanks. Besides we agreed to switch out every arc until we meet up.'
She answered, 'Yeah I know, but it was worth a shot.'
He said to no one in particular, "Lets just sit here and pretend we don't know them."
Happy asked, "Hey Karu what made you decide to come with us?"
He answered, "Mira asked me to tag along." He thought back to when Mira asked him. He told Happy what Mira had said.
Happy said, "You aren't doing a very good job."
He answered, "Those two are hopeless."
They soon heard Eris' voice, "Sorry I'm late have you been waiting long?"
Karu turned towards Eris' voice and answered, "No not really." Though his face went completely white at seeing how much stuff she had.
He said in shock, "All of those belong to you?" Pyra and Lumi were once again acting all buddy buddy. He said in response, "Alright one Happy is enough."
Eris smiled, "Good I'm so glad to see you two getting along." She then turned towards Karu and asked, "What was your name? I remember seeing you at the guild yesterday."
Karu answered, "My name is Karu I'm new to Fairy Tail. Mira asked me to come along with you, so I can learn a thing or two. I hope that's okay with you."
Eris said, "The more the merrier. I'm Eris it's nice to meet you." She then added quietly, "It's good to see you again Karu. I was worried about you."
He smiled and answered back quietly, "Thanks for your worry, but I'm fine." He was very glad to see Emily again even if she looked different. Emily was always like a big sister to him. She was the first friend he made in elementary school. Though he was kind of embarrassed thinking about how they met. He was getting beat up by the school bullies and Emily stepped into save him. Emily was a year older than him and after seeing how badly he was beat up. She started acting much like an older sister to the boy so they were very close. Eris sent a glance back Lumi and Pyra who were acting buddy buddy.
Pyra said, "Hey Eris, I'll come with you, but only on one condition."
Lumi said, "Shut up will you?"
Eris said, "Well then let's hear it."
Pyra said with an eager grin on her face, "Okay I want a rematch when we get back to Fairy Tail."
Lumi said, "What's wrong with you you got some sort of death wish?"
Pyra said, "I'm a lot stronger than the last time we fought. This time it'll be way different cause I'm gonna beat you."
A small grin appeared on Eris' face, "Yes I can you are stronger now though if you can beat me we'll just have to wait and see. I accept your challenge."
Pyra smiled and her whole head burst into flames as she said, "Alright I'm all fired up!" Shortly after the group was on the train in response the poor fire dragon slayer motion sickness had gotten to her.
Lumi said, "Jeez you're so pathetic. You talk big and the next minute you are like this. Snap out of it we have business to deal with." Lumi looked around the seats they had taken were in an empty cart. The ice wizard quickly put her hands together and said, "Ice Make Sound Barrier!" Suddenly the group were inside of an ice barrier. Happy was shocked asking what was going on. Lumi had already talked to Eris about telling Happy about the situation and their mission.
Lumi said, "Now we can talk openly."
Happy asked worried, "Talk about what Lumi? The mission, but only Eris knows what it is."
Eris shook her head, "Yes it is about a mission but not this one. Karu you want explain?" The blue cat was very confused and looked towards the person Eris has said.
Karu nodded, "Listen Happy there is something we need to tell you, but you can't say a word about this to anyone understand?" Happy nodded. He sighed and continued, "Listen Happy while yes we need to work on this mission we're on another one. Tell me have you been having a sense of Deja vu lately? Like this has all happened before?"
Happy frowned for a second before answering, "Well yeah kind of. But I was just decided to ignore it. What exactly is this other mission?"
Karu answered, "A powerful Titan known as Cronos reset the world's timeline. In order to help make sure Zeref completes his mission of destroying this world. He sealed away Natsu, Gray, Lucy, Wendy, and Erza to make sure Zeref succeeds. The first master brought me and my friends to your world to help make sure the timeline flows as it should."
Happy asked, "Um how are you doing that?"
Eris decided to pick up the explanation, "Master Mavis brought us to this world to take the place of Natsu and the others by living their lives. I took Erza's place, Lumi took Gray's, Pyra took Natsu's, and Karu took Lucy's place. You didn't seem to have your memories of the previous timeline, so we didn't tell you about it."
Lumi added, "Though as time went on we realized we can't keep betting on you being knocked out everytime we need to talk about our mission. So we decided to tell you about it."
Happy turned to Pyra and asked, "Is this true Pyra?"
Pyra managed to shake off her motion sickness for a minute to answer, "Y..yeah buddy."
Happy was silent for a few minutes before asking, "Does Master Makarov or the rest of the guild know about this?"
Karu shook his head, "No we haven't told anyone else. The only other people who know about it as far as we know is Carla and our friend who has taken Wendy's place."
Happy said, "This...is a lot to process, but...I'll trust you guys. Do you know where Natsu and the others are sealed away?"
Karu shook his head, "At the moment no. Master Mavis is looking for them now. We promise we'll free Natsu and the others once we find them."
Happy managed to smile, "Thanks you guys, but I still don't remember the other timeline. Can you tell me what happens?"
Eris said, "I'm afraid we can't tell anyone what is supposed to happen in the future."
Happy asked, "Why can't you? Wouldn't it make your mission easier?"
Eris answered, "It would, but if we tell people what is supposed they may try to change it. And the smallest change can cause major problems in the future and could make things go from bad to worse."
Happy frowned, "I...I see well I'll trust you guys. I mean you are members of Fairy Tail so you'd have no reason to lie to me." A smile managed to make its way back onto his face, "Alright I'll do whatever I can to help keep things go as they should!" The 3 wizards smiled at the blue cat's enthusiasm. Lumi's sound barrier disappeared. Eris than began explaining about the mission they were on.
-Icy: And now Happy has been informed of the mission Karu and his friends are on. I imagine this may not have been the best way to go about it, but it was all I could think of. Anyways what I want to know is if yous mind if I just get to the part where Lullaby is awakened or where Happy give Karu Virgo's key. The rest of arc up to that point is pretty much the same. The lullaby arc is about 4 episodes long and I don't think there is much of a point of retyping all those episode when they're mostly the same. Though if you guys want me to do that I can it'll just take a lot longer to get done.
Lucy: Tell us what you think and what you'd like to see happen next.
