"NATSA!" Lisanna yelled at the top of her lungs.
"No sign of her," muttered Loke. He leaned on Lisanna's shoulder. "Where would she be?"
Lisanna shivered at the thoughts of never finding her again. This wasn't suppose to happen. Once they gotten back from Edolas, it was going to be Happy Ever After; all together again. But now Natsa was missing. For all they knew, Natsa could be sucked back up into a different universe; never to be seen again. "She has to be somewhere..." the sliver-haired uttered with a shaking figure.
"She has to be. Or else..." Those words hanged there in the air. Neither of them didn't know how to finished that sentence. 'Now I'm starting feel like Gray,' thought Loke.
"Eh? What's that?" asked Lisanna out loud. She gazed over by an old alley where she seen two figures running across. One figure was larger, and panting, than the other.
Loke sniffed the air, "It's a women! And...she's in trouble!" He ran into the alley; not caring for anything lurking in the shadows. Lisanna jogged behind him; her shoes clattered along the cement.
"Nat-" Loke started as the two figures walked under light. "WENDY?! ELFMAN?!" he exclaimed.
"Elf-nii? What are you doing here?" Lisanna asked her sliver-haired brother.
She looked at them with a concern expression, "Master called us back to the inn. Maybe they have found Natsa."
"Why didn't we hear any of it?" asked Loke. It kinda ignored him that he wasn't called.
"Out of range...?" suggested Elfman.
...
The four of them walked into the inn. Everyone stared at them with confused expressions. Master gotten off of his table and walked wards them, "Where's Natsa?" he asked.
Wendy shook, "We thought you found her."
"Why would you think that?" His voice grew serious.
"We got called back to the inn by Warren," answered Elfman.
"So we thought Natsa was found."
"Warren?" questioned Master. His face grew dark. None of the recuse groups has returned yet, and Warren and Max were the two linking everyone together. Linking Master to the teams, but he heard none of what they were saying. What could Warren be doing? Where are the other groups? Questions crossed his mind, but nothing added up.
"None of this is making sense!" remarked Loke. He was leaning against the wall.
"MASTER!" yelled Erza from the staircase. She was running down the steps in her pj's. "Master," she bowed in front of him. He nodded his head to go on. "Gray's bed is empty."
"What?!" exclaimed Master. How much bad news could he get in a single night?
"The window's opened," reported Laxus as he yawned. "Asshole just left when our guards were down."
Master slammed his hands on the table; earning looks from the remaining mages. Those who were ordered to look around the inn had already came back. The...three Fairy Tail Team were standing on the staircase. The two recusing, Elfman, Wendy, Loke, and Lisanna, were waiting by the door. "This isn't the time to be waiting. Now things are serious; the stakes are higher. We have one night. One single night to find Natsa, Gray, and Warren. I want everyone searching. Once daylight, we regroup and plan."
"But Mas-"
"No but's. We got to find our members. Too many people are missing; it was already bad enough with one. I want everyone to regroup in teams of three; Fairy Tail Team, you are a single team, and by daylight I'm suspecting a lot from you."
"Yes, sir," agreed Erza. Gajeel glared at her, and then yawned. It was too late for this type of crap. Laxus just grunted.
"What about Carla? Where's she?" asked Wendy.
"If they heard Warren's message, they would have been back before you. For now, I believe they are still searching the skies."
X789~ Edolas
The sky darkened, and she screamed her lungs out. Their forces tried to fight against the soldiers of the Kingdom. Citizens of the city joined the fight against them. Spears, swords, blunts, axes; all crashed against each other. Blood spilled on the ground. Their forces weakened; it was already weak to began with. Cries of pain echoed in the streets, but yet no mercy was paid.
A man sized of a beast breached the soldier's line of defense. No one could stop this psychotic beast. Not even its allies could slow the monster down. No words could break through his mind. His sight was set on the girl. Nothing else mattered; not even his own life. Shouts came from his allies, a raven-haired and sliver-haired. He didn't pay no mind.
He crashed against the soldiers; citizens ran away from this monster. The soldiers fought with their mighty weapons; no effect. The beast kept advancing; knocking soldiers out of the way.
Tears made lines down her face. All of this was happening and she couldn't stop it. The man was getting hurt and harm because she was captured. All she could do was wept. Her hands were tied; and the soldier behind her glared at the battleground. The soldier was in charge of these soldiers; she commanded their every move. Her red locks flowed with the wind, and red spattered against her cheeks. She wiped the blood off, leaving a smear. The girl, tied up, glared at the red-haired.
"How can you do this?" she asked. Her teeth were lined as she glared into the eyes of the red-haired.
"It's my job," she plainly answered. "We protect the people of this kingdom."
"Citizens are out there laying on the ground. Dead."
"It's their faults for joining in on this fight. Blood shall be spilled."
"What about us? Aren't we citizens too?"
"No. That has been declared ages ago. Once a criminal, always a criminal."
"Our crimes has been forgiven!" argued the girl.
"Not by the public. They will never forgave the people who slay their kin, stole their lifesaving, and torments their lives. Those sins will never be forgiven by promises that goes unfulfilled."
"But King Jell-"
"He's out ruled. Everyone wants your head. Once you and your guild are headed, then things shall return to peace. King Jellal can rule without protests."
An arrow shot out from the soldier's bow. It heighten, then it fell downward into the crowd. Its pointed end punctured its target, the beast. It cried out, and fell to the ground. His allies cried, and the girl screamed, "ELFMAN!"
A raven-haired plunged into the crowd of soldiers; and gotten to his ally. The arrow was stationed in his shoulder. There were numerous other wounds on his body, but that arrow pushed him pass his edge. The raven-haired cursed and hollered Elfman over his shoulder. The other allies came from behind and guarded the two as they made their escape.
The soldiers fought back and the allies were outnumbered. They could only do one thing; escape. Their bodies retreated from the battleground. Some stayed and fought the soldiers. But they were soon stained or they ran.
The red-haired plunged her sword in the ground.
Elfman looked up from the raven-haired's body. He looked pass the lines of incoming soldiers, and gazed right at the sliver-haired girl tied up against the red-haired. Raven-haired kept running, retreating, and Elfman could barley see the girl. He raised his hand and called out her name, "MIRAJANE!"
Tears swelled up in her eyes as she looked at the vanishing forms. At least they were safe; that was all she could think.
The red-haired looked at the retreating criminals with disgusted. Her eyes looked at the battlefield. Many of her own soldiers were injured, some even dead. But, there were also bodies of the criminals. This fight accomplished that many deaths. "Regroup! Save the injured, buried the dead!"
Mirajane looked at the red-haired straight in her eyes.
"Your punishment awaits," said Erza.
...
Mirajane body was hanged in front of the citizens. They cheered for the defeat of the She-Demon. There were few who didn't cheer for the death of the sliver-haired girl. Their bodies were wrapped in clothed stained in red. One of them had a cut lip. They were in the crowd, holding onto each other. Tears floated their eyes at the death of their sister. "Mira-nee..." uttered the sliver-haired, Lisanna.
"All because of me..." muttered Elfman. His figure started sobbing, and the sliver-haired gazed at her brother. She, too, was sad. But this wasn't the time for crying the tears of their loss. Her hand raised, and slapped him across his cheek. He backed away several steps and looked in her eyes with a confused expression.
"Nothing was your fault!"
"Lisanna, we have to leave. Now." Instructed another member of the Dark Guild.
"What's wrong, Gray-san?" Natsa asked the over-large figure.
"No-Nothing. It's just...nothing," he answered without his normal tone. He stared at the pink-haired and gave a tiny smile. Even though his life went to hell, she was making something of herself. He felt glad that he let her go. She fulfilled the one promise they made between themselves, give her love to their Earthland selves. That's all he ever wanted from the pink-haired; even if it was a different Gray, and she was a different Natsa.
She looked back. That tone say otherwise, but she didn't questioned it. Everything about this Gray felt different from the person seven years ago. But times has changed, unlike herself.
"Na-Natsa...?" uttered something in the dark alley. Both of them stopped in their tracks. That voice was familiar. Natsa sniffed the air, and she smelled blood; fresh blood.
She turned around and ran wards the object laying on the ground. There weren't just one; there were three. Three bodies laid on the ground. They were the exceeds. "Happy? Carla? Lilly?"
"What happened to you?" exclaimed Gray. In their world, it was forbidden to even harm a hair of an exceed's; yet alone leaving them to die on the ground.
"Natsa...we found you..." Happy smiled.
"Wh-What...?!"
"It was too sudden...we left our guard opened, and he attacked..." answered Lilly.
"He?" Natsa questioned. Gray stepped backwards. He already knew.
"...looked...like Rogue..." uttered Carla.
"But he smelled...different," added Happy.
"Fuck! Where the fuck is Gajeel?!" cursed Natsa. She slammed her fists into the pavement.
"...Gray?" questioned Carla.
"Hm?"
"...he took Gray..." uttered Lilly; who stared at the large figure behind Natsa. "Who are you?"
Natsa just growled at the name of Gray's. How could that asshole attack her other home, her cat, and now her boyfriend?! "FUCK HIM! I'M GONNA KILL HIM!"
"This was all planned," said Gray. He looked at the ground. "Rogue must have known I was in this world, and took your Gray instead."
"Edo...Gray...is that you?" questioned Happy. His eyes were shut half-way a he tried to peer up at the moving figures.
"Yes, Happy. It's me." He gently petted the blue fur, but he was pissed. That asshole couldn't go to another world and caused havoc.

DRAMA OVERLOAD! OKay, I'm so sorry. I haven't been updating since I'm sorting through my thoughts on what's happening. The ending, I'm really unsure about. There's a Poll on my profile, so please summit!
Asiannerd32: Actually it's Edo!Gray...but it's close enough. That's one reason why I wrote this story so I could add in Edo!Gray. Thanks for reading and reviewing.
LinkinParkTheKillersFan: AHH! HELP! HELP! WHAT'S WRONG WITH USING EDO!GRAY?! *Pant* The mystery may be solved, but it hasn't been closed. Things are still changing. About Edo!Natsa, I haven't pinned that. I'm thinking about making an oneshot about this, but I don't know how to kill her, so I may take your idea of the car crash. If you have any more, just pm/review it. WELL HE"S MY FAVORITE CHARACTER! I'M MEAN TO ALL OF THEM! Thanks for reviewing!
darkhuntressxir: There is another Sting, but he's on the good side...and still in Edolas. From writing about him in Earthland, he's a douche, so in Edolas he would be nice and not much into fighting. So...maybe an accountant? Lol, that would be funny.
crazyyetgreat: I have been making these Fem!Natsu stories for awhile, yet no one told me about this. And it's too late to changed that. Thanks for reviewing and reading.
PianoNL: Hallucinating?! If you couldn't think properly, then how could you even stay focus enough to read? Was it that obvious? I thought I was being sneaking about him. I guess, if you read the other stories, it would make sense.
