Kaida allowed herself to be escorted back to her room. When she got there she instructed the guards to leave her alone for awhile so that she might be able to try and get her memories back.

"What did you just do?" Lucy asked when the guards had left.

"Relax, I simply swapped some of my dirt for you," Kaida explained, "Now there is a dirt dummy in the cell that you were in"

"Ok, but can you let me out?" Lucy asked.

"Sorry, I can't risk letting you get caught, besides, once I do I need to swap some more dirt for you and then we'll just have two dirt Lucy's" Kaida replied.

"Ugg, fine" Lucy said.

"Interesting, it seems the two Gajeels are hanging around Erza and Gray" Kaida mused out loud.

"Our Erza or their Erza" Lucy asked.

"I'm pretty sure it's ours, unless our Erza is hanging around the palace pretending to be their Erza"

"I have no idea what you just said" Lucy replied.

"Shh, someone's coming, wait I know that presence, could it be, no it couldn't" Kaida said confused.

"Who is it?" Lucy asked curiously.

"Mamoruryu" Kaida whispered.

"Who? Oh, your dragon, what's he doing here" Lucy asked.

"No idea, maybe it's this worlds version of him," Kaida answered, "Anyways be quiet, I have no idea if anyone else can hear you, and I don't want to find out" There was a knock on the door.

"Can I come in?" a male voice called out.

"Yes" Kaida answered. A tall black panther walked in.

"Kaida," the panther said, "good to see you"

"You too, Mamoruryu" Kaida answered.

"What did you just call me?!" the panther asked.

"Mamoruryu, isn't that your name?" Kaida asked, confused.

"No, It's Panther Lily! Where did you get Mamoruryu from?!" Panther Lily asked her.

"Sorry, you just remind me of someone I met while trying to recover" Kaida quickly explained.

"Oh, ok. So does that mean you don't remember me?" Panther Lily asked.

"No sorry" Kaida replied.

"Ok, then I hope your memories come back soon, I have to go" Panther Lily said before walking out the door.

"Does this mean you were wrong?" Lucy asked.

"No! That is Mamoruryu!" Kaida exclaimed, "At least this world's version of him, he must have been born with a different name here"

"Is that even possible?" Lucy asked.

"Well Makarov is called King Faust here and he's my dad...so" Kaida trailed off.

"Makarov's your dad!" Lucy exclaimed.

"Shhh, not so loud, someone might hear you!" Kaida told her.

"Ok, so where are Natsu, Happy, Carla, and Wendy?" Lucy asked.

"Natsu and Wendy are a little ways down from the cell you were being kept in, and Happy and Carla don't seem to be on Earth" Kaida responded.

"Happy and Carla disappeared off the face of the Earth?" Lucy asked worried.

"I never said that!" Kaida exclaimed, "I'm just saying that they don't seem to be on the ground right now. Maybe they are flying around somewhere"

"Oh" Lucy answered.

"Weird, Gray and Erza seem to be on the move, and they're heading this way! Gajeel must have found a way to free them" Kaida said.

"Really?" Lucy asked hopefully.

"Yep, the Gajeels seem to be going different ways though, neither of which is with Gray and Erza" Kaida reported.

"Can we go meet them?" Lucy asked.

"Sure, we should catch them in the courtyard before they do anything rash" Kaida said walking over to the door. "I'm going to take a nice stroll through the courtyard, don't worry, I'll be fine. I would like to go alone" She explained to the guards when they tried to follow her. Kaida hurried out to the courtyard and managed to intercept Erza and Gray before they made it far.

"Kaida? Is that you?" Erza asked, "Where are your clothes?"

"They wore off, so I discarded them back in the forest" Kaida explained.

"Oh, Kaida" Erza sighed, "So do you know where Lucy is?"

"I'm right here" Lucy said.

"Was that Lucy's voice? Where is she?" Gray asked.

"I turned her into dirt" Kaida explained.

"What!" Erza exclaimed picking her foot up one by one as if she could be standing on Lucy.

"Relax, I only did it to get her out of the cell they were keeping her in" Kaida said.

"Ok then, now that we have Lucy and Kaida, let's go meet up with Gajeel" Gray said, turning around.

"What about Natsu, Wendy, Happy, and Carla?" Kaida asked.

"Flamebrain's here as well?" Gray asked.

"Yes, they are keeping Wendy and him in the dungeons" Kaida explained.

"What about Happy and Carla?" Erza asked.

"I don't know, flying around somewhere" Kaida said annoyed.

"Ok, then we have to plan a rescue mission" Erza said grabbing a stick to draw in the dirt with.

"Or we could just walz in there and get Natsu and Wendy out of there" Kaida said.

"Wouldn't they stop us?" Erza asked.

"Not if it's just the princess walking with the captain of the 2nd magic warfare division bringing a captive to the dungeons" Kaida smirked.

"Where are we going to get a princess, a warrior and a captive?" Gray asked.

"Well, in this world I am a dead princess and Erza is the captain of the 2nd magic warfare unit" Kaida explained.

"But what about the captive" Gray asked. Kaida looked at Gray. "Oh, no! No way am I being a captive"

"You won't actually be a captive, Erza will just tie you up and bring you to the dungeons and I will do the switcheroo, and then we can go save Natsu and Wendy" Kaida said excited.

"Where do I play into all of this?" Lucy asked.

"You… get this," Kaida said pretending to be excited, "pretend to be dirt!" she finished. Gray smirked.

"Why can't you be dirt?" Lucy asked.

"Because I'm the princess" Kaida explained, before helping Erza tie up Gray. When Gray was all tied up, Kaida led them to the dungeons.

Authors Note:

So what did you think?

Kaida didn't actually kill Lucy which is good. Kaida also met the Edolas version of her Dragon who just happens to be Panther Lily. Erza and Gray are free(well not Gray) and they are planning a rescue to save Natsu and Wendy. Happy and Carla are still missing, I wonder where they could be?
