A/N: Yo, yo, Ningens! If you're wondering why this chapter is a "special chapter" well, if I recall right, by the time I released Ch10 somewhere last year, my story had just hit 50+ favs & follows. At least I think it did but I know it was somewhere around that number. And many of you readers wanted Erza to have her own way with Goku so I obliged.

FULL RECAP: Out of the four hooded people, only two were revealed. Gildarts Clive of Fairy Tail & Ultear Milkovich of Crime Sorcière. Towa had sent an order for Ultear to kill Mirajane and so, she carries it out. Having to arrive at the center of Magnolia Town, the Saiyan runs into the second strongest out of the four.

Goku takes on the corrupted Ultear for a little while and when he saw the person he was supposed to protect dies; he rages like never before into an enraged SSJ. After the takedown of the second Milkovich, Goku finally meets with Towa. He discovers Towa's motives on why he was brought to the Fairy Tail Verse and tries to shut her down. However, he fails and Towa manages to escape his wrath.

And with that, Goku suffered a major loss. He lost Mirajane, he couldn't stop Towa and when he found out about her motives, he completely shuts himself down. Losing Mirajane, he didn't know what to do from that point on. He felt lost...

Towa Arc

Chapter 10: Scarlet Red (Chapter 10 Special)

the Outer Plains of Crocus...

He had it. He was almost close in righting Towa's wrongs. He was just a stepping stone away from not letting Mirajane's so-called "death" be in vain. But he failed miserably. Everything seemed meaningless to him now. After he was told why he was brought into this world for a sole purpose, there was nothing left Goku could feel in his heart. He got out of his blue form and kept thinking about what Towa said...

"Just know that you have the leading role to all of this."

"Your power automatically surpasses the other Gokus from varies timelines."

"I did not expect you of all Gokus to be so sentimental with a human in this timeline. How utterly strange."

"This is farewell for now, Son Goku. I've got to meet up with my accomplices. Wouldn't want to keep them waiting."

There were so many questions Goku had that needed to get answered. What is this leading role Towa forced onto Goku? Could this role perhaps be linked as to breaking this seal to bring back her demon god grandfather? How many Gokus did she face and killed? Who are the other evil-doers that Towa aligned herself with? Goku was filled with nothing but frustration and despair that he wanted to throw everything away.

The aftermath of his petty battle gave an atmosphere around him a cold shiver. Soon, the gray clouds started to appear and rain down on him. Being outside in the rain can give anyone a cold. Goku's not one to fall to cold so easily so he lets the drips of raindrop fall on him. He didn't care. Failing so miserably is one thing, but telling someone that their lives will be protected? It was nothing but a cruel demonstration that promises weren't always meant to be fulfilled...

A few minutes after, he let out a silent cry as it plays out in the rain...

Nighttime

Goku's House, the Guest Room...

This particular guest room had a total of six beds. Three, in fact, were occupied by Erza, Natsu & Gray. And as previously stated, Happy was watching over them. Seeing how it went down, the three nappers slept through the events that occurred in Magnolia. So they were unaware of what transpired. However, one out of the three was beginning to wake up. Out of the three was the Queen of Fairies, Erza Scarlet. The moment she opened her eyes, she was about to be in for a rude awakening...

"Haahh...!" Erza stretched her arms as she yawned, "That was pleasantly a fine nap." she smacks her lips.

"Erza!" Happy was the first to greet her, "You're awake."

"Hello there, Happy." Erza greeted back, "Is it just you that watched over us in this room? Wait, where are we?"

"We're on the second floor of Goku's house. This room's the guest room."

"Really? That's good to know. Swear, Goku's house is literally like a hotel, but much better. Say, am I the only one awake?"

"Yep! Natsu & Gray are right beside you." Happy pointed to her left, "Oh, are you hungry, Erza?"

"As a matter of fact, I am."

"Great! Head downstairs for some pizza Mira made!"

"Pizza, huh? Mira's cooking is a treat. Especially when it goes in Goku's stomach. Speaking of Goku, where is he?"

"Eh? Oh, um..." Happy was freaking out a little, "Goku's, uh... Let's just say something big went down and he was the main attraction."

"I... I don't get what you're trying to say."

"While you were out cold, something terrible happened to Mira & Master..."

"Is that right? Don't be afraid to tell me, Happy. It's probably nothing big to frap over so lay it on me."

"Are you sure? You should call it anything but nothing, Erza. It affected Goku the most..."

"I insist. Now tell me everything that happened while I was sleeping in my slumber, Happy."

"Okay... Well, don't say I didn't tell you so..."

To catch Erza up to speed, Happy was about to tell the recent event of Goku's battle with Ultear. Even though he was watching over the three of them, Happy took a short little break and headed downstairs to where he saw the body count of the unconscious four and maybe perhaps dead one. Having to be curious as to what happened, Lisanna, Lucy, & Juvia told him everything and now, Happy was about to tell Erza everything they told him.

For a good twenty-four minutes, Happy explained everything and above all else, he knew what Erza's reaction would be. It was silent. Erza's eyes were tense as they were wide. Of course, she wasn't happy with what she heard. So after being told about the "death" of Mirajane, & the beat-up bodies of Makarov, Hisui, & Ultear of Crime Sorcière, she immediately headed downstairs.

"H-Hey, Erza! Wait up a minute!" Happy tries to stop Erza but the moment he touched her arm, he was blown away by her aura.

From hearing it from the blue exceed cat, Erza made her way downstairs to the main living room. She couldn't fathom from not being apart of the Ultear situation. She gritted her teeth from not only getting careless of Natsu's recklessness in the Gravity Room that dragged her and Gray in but also letting the Ultear situation fly under her nose. By the time she arrived in the main living room, she didn't expect to see her entire guild present in front of him...

"This is a surprise..." Erza said as she welcomes herself in, "Why is everyone here?"

"Erza, you're awake!" Lucy was the first to spot Erza coming.

"Mind telling me what's going on, Lucy?"

"Did Happy tell you everything that transpired between Goku & Ultear?"

"Y-Yes, he has. But not the entire guild being here."

"Right, so, I'll tell you that, then. You see, Master ordered Macao & Wakaba to bring everyone back together because the demon that Goku mentioned, whose name is Towa, can mind control people. Like how she did with Jenny Realight."

"And she did the same to Ultear, didn't she?" Erza wanted to confirm as she looks at the unconscious bodies.

"That's right. Towa had Ultear run through Mira & the three others are just beaten up. They lost a lot of blood but not as much as Mira."

"And this happened while I was snoozing...?" Erza was walking to Makarov & Mirajane while horrified.

"Yeah, but not to worry, Erza." Lisanna came in, "Aside from Mira, Goku managed to save everyone else."

"And why is the Princess of Fiore here?" Erza noticed.

"It's a long story but we don't know that ourselves. I know this is hard to take in, Erza. We're still mourning over it for six hours now."

"This happened six hours ago!?" Erza raised her voice a little.

"Y-Yeah..." Lisanna was a little spooked.

"This is hard to take in here..." Erza tries to process all this in but then thinks about Goku, "And Goku? Where is he?"

"He said he found might've found Towa because he sensed the servants who served under her." Juvia stepped in to answer this time, "And because of that, he went to go handle the situation alone."

"Why would he shoulder that burden alone?"

"It's because he blamed himself for getting Mira killed. And if I remember right, he said that he wanted to protect her from any evil so he could feel what love is..." Levy interjects.

"But he failed to uphold that," Erza adds.

"Yeah..."

"The strangest thing when he left to face Towa was that his hair was blue." Lisanna brings up.

"Blue? What are you talking about?" Erza curiously asked.

"We all know about his SSJ hair being blonde, right? Well, this time, he showed us a power we couldn't detect for some reason. And to top it off, his blue hair was styled in the same way of his SSJ form!" Lisanna explains as Juvia & Lucy shakes their head in agreement.

"Blue hair and Ki undetectable? How weird..."

"Kch... Fucking damn it!" Elfman yelled.

"W-Whoa, Elfman, calm down!" Lucy tries calming Elfman down after being scared from his scream.

"How can I when my sis got injured?" Elfman looked at Lucy, "I was away on a mission and when I turned a blind eye, Mira got ran through. God... How could a man like me be so... unmanly!?"

"There was nothing you could've done to help your older sister, Elfman," Evergreen said as she fixes his glasses.

"Evergreen... What are you saying?"

"She's saying that even if you were there, Elfman, you would've probably ended up like Mirajane." Alzack backs up Evergreen.

"What did you say? How could you say that, Alzack?" said Elfman as he clenched both his fist, "Are you saying I should've let my sister get stabbed by an ice spear?"

"No, obviously not that. I'm saying you getting angry isn't going to bring back Mira. It's not going to solve anything here. And if you didn't remember what Lucy told us, I'll refresh your memory. Ultear went toe to toe with Goku in his SSJ form."

"But that was only because she was corrupted by Towa's magic!"

"Still, Elfman. I know he said it in a harsh way but he's not wrong. Goku's enemies are from his world, remember? They don't operate magic the way we do..."

"Oh, Lu..."

"Even if it would be futile, I still would've wanted to help out in any way I can." Erza said as she was holding Mirajane's & Makarov's hand, "I feel like crap, you guys. Not being able to sense something like this go down is just aggravating..."

"Yeah... We all know, Erza. We all know..." Lucy said.

Everyone in the room started to mope with Erza until a certain Card Mage broke the silence. As she was making her way to meet up with everyone, she was carrying Wendy with her right arm. She had news to spill that may or may not help Mirajane & the three others...

"Hey, everyone!" Cana said; barging in with the unconscious Sky Dragon Slayer.

"C-Cana!?" Max ululated, "Your yelling scared all of us!"

"Sorry about that but mind my yelling, will ya guys? Look, I might have something that could heal Master & the others!"

"Wait, what, you do!?" Levy & Lucy simultaneously said.

"Hold on... Why are you carrying Wendy?" Bisca asked as she was feeding Asuka.

"Oh, her? Haha, well, um, when I was running out the door to the room that might help Mira and the others, I fell onto of Wendy and suffocated her with my breast, again..." Cana was getting Déjà vu from chapter six.

"And it's always with your breast, isn't it, boobzilla!?" Carla took shots at her.

"Yeah, yeah, I know, Carla. Like I haven't heard that a million times already..."

"Enough with the breast, Cana! You said you have something that could fix Mira, Master & the other two?" Erza brings her back to the main topic.

"Well, it's a gamble but yes, I do."

"You do? What is it, then?" Freed wondered.

"Technically I don't know how to explain it but I can show you, instead! There's this room that has a machine that could heal Mira & the others back to full strength!"

"But... How can we heal a dead person, Cana?" Max brings up.

"That's the thing, Max. I don't think Mira is dead. I know it's not right for me to bring everyone's hopes up when saying that but trust me when I say that she can get fixed!"

"But, she lost a lot of blood. If you lose tons of blood, you'll die of blood loss." Levy stated.

"Just believe me on this, you guys! Mira's alive! Her will to live is strong! She wouldn't go out to blood loss, no. Now could you guys stop depriving me with more chit-chat and follow me upstairs?"

"S-Sure..." everyone followed after Cana.

Everyone followed Cana into the room on the second floor. When they arrived behind her, they were a bit taken back with what they were seeing. They were witnessing the presence of five healing chambers. Large containers filled with specialized liquid that was more than enough to be used for Mirajane, Makarov, Hisui, & Ultear. The tanks were purposely made for Vegeta & Goku should they ever get into a near-death fight...

"And what is all of this...?" Laxus asked as he was taking a look around, "Tanks?"

"It looks like some sort of advance healing equipment. Cana, this is what you wanted to show us?" Levy inquired.

"That's right, Levy. I'm certain we can use this to heal Master, Mira, & the other two. We just need to know how to operate it."

"And this is off of your intuition, too?" Lucy wanted her to confirm.

"Yes, Lu, yes." Cana nodded, "Levy, can you figure out a way to use this?"

"Well, I can give it a try. I'm not sure how these machines work because it's like Erza said, it's more advanced than anything we've ever seen in our time age. But I'll take a look at it, anyway."

"As long as you're trying, you'll definitely find a way!" Cana encourages.

"I gotta say, Cana, who would've thought you, of all people, would have somewhat of a great idea like this? I guess sometimes laying off the booze can get your brain flowing, huh?"

"Well, that and..." Cana looks at Lucy while chugging down a barrel of ale; making Lucy stand corrected, "If I'm gonna be honest, Lu, I just want Goku to be happy."

"How so?"

"Living with Goku brought me to what it's like being in a relationship. And since no one but Mira might have that, I tend to get a little jealous..."

"You have a crush on Goku, Cana?" Lucy was flabbergasted.

"Not exactly..." Cana was in denial, "I'm just very fond of him."

"We all are." Erza came in, "He's family to us and I wasn't there when he yelled at you girls but I can see why he would. Frustration isn't some kind of emotion we can easily dial down."

"And you're right about that. Oh, and by the way, Erza, where's Goku?"

"Your guess is as good as mind. And I must say, I'm wondering why you would go this far for him? Other than to heal our family & friends, why are you putting this much effort? Are you in love with Goku?"

"Err... No... But I do feel funny whenever I'm with him..."

"Could be love, Cana." Erza teased a little.

"Erza... I don't have a crush on him. I just want my housemate to be happy with the one person that can make him happy. Extremely happy."

"That's saying a lot. (She definitely has a thing with Goku. She probably developed this during the time she first moved in.) Well, let's go grab the bodies and put them in here. Get started on how to operate it, Levy." Erza issues.

"Right..."

Early Morning

Goku's House, Second Floor Guest Room...

"Haah... Urgh, man. Did I sleep good or what?" Natsu yawned as he wakes up from his bed.

"Natsu, you're awake!" Happy charged to Natsu; surprising him with a hug.

"Whoa there, buddy! I'm up, I'm up! Did something happy while I was out?"

"Oh, um... Yeah, there's a lot you missed out on."

"And I don't suppose my slumber caused me to miss out what happened yesterday, too, right?" Gray said; sitting up after he opened his eyes.

And with that, Juvia heard the voice of her shirtless darling and broke through the walls of the guest room to bear hug the living life out of Gray Fullbuster. Doing that caused Gray to feel the jitters of unexpected "spookiness..."

"J-Juvia, I can't breathe here! You're going to make me suffocate!" Gray taps outs.

"Juvia can't help it! Thanks to Natsu's stupidity, you almost had to suffer a fate much worse than death!" Juvia couldn't help but show him her ugly cry.

"Oh, for goodness sakes." Carla sighs.

"Lucy, Wendy, what are you two doing here?"

"I don't always like to be the bearer of bad news, but seeing how you two missed something major yesterday, it's an exception. Listen up, you two. What I'm about to tell you guys isn't exactly friendly. And I know it'll raise your blood pressure from hearing it, so here goes..." Lucy was ready to tell the horrible news to Natsu & Gray.

-[30 Minutes Later...]-

-[the Healing Chamber Room...]-

By the time they were informed about the corrupted Ultear exacting orders, the weaken blood loss of Princess Hisui, the running through of the She-Devil, & the beaten-down Third Master, Natsu & Gray ran to the room where they were being treated. When entering inside to see them, they felt belittled. Much like with Erza, they felt at fault for not sensing Goku's battle with Ultear & the fact that they slept through it; it made them want to throw up. They couldn't handle the news well and they were about to lose it...

"And this... happened when we were asleep yesterday, Lucy?" Natsu was speechless.

"Yeah... And before you two rage out, just know that Goku did that, too."

"Goku? Oh, that's right. Mira..." Gray looks at the four bodies lying on the ground.

"Hey, Levy, what's the holdup?" Cana asked impatiently.

"I don't know how to operate the machine, Cana. I just found the manual. It'll take some time."

"Well, read faster! Mira, Master, & the two others are gonna die sooner or later if we don't treat them!"

"Don't you think I know that, Cana? We're just lucky we have almost unlimited time thanks to Goku's energy strings. And... I'd like to have some help here..."

"We'll help, Levy!" Jet & Droy volunteered.

"Better step back and let us handle it, you two." Erza volunteered herself, "I know you two are Levy's partners when it comes to things such as this but... I'm feeling confident about operating this thing."

"You sure, Erza? Four heads are better than two." Jet said.

"It is, but remember we're dealing with life or death here. Plus, I think your emotions for Levy might get in the way. So... Do us a favor and tag out, okay?" Erza insisted.

"S-Sure... You okay with that, Joy?"

"I guess. I can eat some fried chicken for the time being. But if we can watch them work this hunk of junk, then we're good to go!" Droy said.

"What's the first step, Levy?"

"We have to put the person inside and attach them with wires in certain places. Right after that, we hook them up with a breathing apparatus."

"Let's put them in, then..."

Fairy Tail got started on the operation. Natsu, Lucy, & Erza were carrying Makarov in the first healing chamber. Lisanna & Elfman carried their older sister in the second one next to Makarov while Alzack, Max, & Gajeel carried Hisui to the third healing chamber next to them. For Ultear, the Thunder God Tribe carried her in the fourth one; leaving the fifth tank to be empty...

"That wasn't so hard, right? So we placed them inside and we attached those wires to them. Now, what's next?" Levy said as she was flipping through the manual.

"The next step is to fill them up with a special form of liquid."

"- - !"

Everyone heard that voice coming from behind their backs. When they turned around, they saw base form Goku. Though, something seemed different about him. When they saw his face, it looked as though he was putting on a cold act. The physique he was in was a tragedy. Goku was wet, he looked miserable and his voice tone seemed dead. And his eyes, as everyone could see, fell into the deep mines of despair...

"Goku..." Team Natsu said.

Goku walked in front of everyone and turned on all four of the healing tanks for them. Everyone was now witnessing the liquid filling up their unconscious patients. A special liquid that can a hundred percent heal a person from near death. After, Goku turned around to face them...

"Hey, Goku. Where the hell have you been? You look like hell!" Natsu said with worry.

"It's none of your business." Goku calmly said as he stares right back at Mirajane's healing tank, "You guys don't have to worry about Gramps, Hisui, & Ultear. They'll make it."

"And Mira? Is this machine operative on my sis, Goku?" Lisanna asked.

"It's a new model but even so, Lisanna, I don't know. But... You guys can check on their pulse and heartbeat on the monitor here." Goku pointed at the control area where they all saw a screen.

"I don't mean to sound like a curious person, but did you beat Towa?" Erza asked; afraid she might not get the answer she was hoping.

"No... I didn't. She got away. I underestimated her and she managed to get away from my grasp." Goku got close to Mirajane's window.

"Were you fighting her in the rain? You're soaking wet..." Gray asked.

"It rained after I lost to her..." Goku answered his question while still paying his attention to Mirajane.

"Well, um, hey! Let's all head to the Gravity Room and train, Goku! You couldn't beat her, which is shocking, but it's no big deal. We can all gang up on her and- -"

"Not today, Natsu. I just want to be with Mira, if you don't mind, that is." said Goku as he brought negativity around the room, "Well, I need to take a shower first. Then, I'll watch Mira."

"You're not going to train us?" Wendy was skeptical.

"As long as you know the basics of Ki, it's not hard to do so. Now, uh, excuse me, you guys."

Goku, as he was passing by everyone, was giving off a vibe everyone didn't expect to feel out of him. The look of a hopeless, destroyed, Saiyan "boy" that was just beginning to emit the feelings he had towards the She-Devil, he felt defeated. He felt as though he had nothing and for the time that he has, he wants to spend his nothingness with Mirajane. Even if she couldn't be responsive. He left the room; giving everyone time to talk about the sudden change in Goku's character...

"I didn't take Goku to act in that form of manner. How a person changes from seeing the one they love; suffer." Freed said as he looks at Mirajane's healing tank.

"Yeah, and did you guys see his face? It was so intense. From a stranger's perspective, if someone were to look at him the way we did; they probably would've gotten the wrong kind of vibe..." Bickslow crossed his arms.

"No arguments there, Bickslow." Evergreen agrees, "Say, Laxus, if we're done here on checking up Master, should we go now?"

"Where are you four going?" Elfman asked.

"We're all heading out to help the people in Magnolia. Goku's fight with that woman in the healing tank almost destroyed the entire town. The Thunder God Tribe and I offered ourselves to help the people." Laxus informs.

"Community service?"

"Right, Elfman, but we're not being punished or something. It's just a way to make up time." Evergreen said, "Now, whenever you're ready, Laxus."

"Let's head out, you three." Laxus headed out the door with Freed, Bickslow, & Evergreen following.

"Natsu? Where are you going?"

"To train, of course. Seeing how gender-bender here took on Goku in his SSJ form, it's clear to me that I've got to get stronger."

"Same here. I hate to agree with Natsu but I too don't want to be left behind in the dirt, here." Gray said.

"If Goku couldn't stop Towa, what makes you two think you can?" Lucy wanted to know.

"We can't beat her. At least not yet. But that doesn't stop us from wanting to get stronger. Now hurry up, frosty! You're gonna slow me down if you don't get your ass there."

"I could say the same thing to you, ash-breath," Gray smirked.

Everyone was going to wait it out. They didn't know when the machines will be done with the healing but they were calmly patient. It was no rush for them and from that point on, days will go slow for them. To wish Mirajane & Makarov a full recovery, they were going to do things to kill time.

But they didn't know how much time will pass...

-[2 Weeks Later]-

Early Afternoon

Goku's House...

Two weeks have passed since the Goku's battle with Ultear. Mirajane, Makarov, Hisui, & Ultear were still healing in the healing tanks. At first, everyone had wondered if the tanks were ever working in the first place. It was, and if one of the unconscious four were to get out of it while still being treated, they would've immediately died.

In those amount of days, Natsu & Gray were at the Gravity Room. Laxus & the Thunder God Tribe were helping the townspeople of Magnolia after the fighting incident. Lisanna, Lucy, Wendy, & Levy were in the kitchen, making food for the people that were staying at the house. Some members were at the guildhall; operating the guildhall as any guild would. For Goku, he was in the healing chamber room; watching Mirajane's recovery, alone. From time to time, Erza checks in on Saiyan to see how he was going. But that was an understatement...

For two weeks, Goku hasn't gotten out of the room. His thoughts & mind were only on Mirajane. He didn't care about his health. In fact, he was so out of character, he wasn't hungry. He skipped food for fourteen days. Cana wanted to check in Goku too but she chickened out at the last second due to their argument two weeks ago. There was knocking at the door. Goku heard but didn't turn around. He was still looking at his She-Devil...

"Goku?" Erza knocked, "Lisanna & the girls made food for everyone. I'd just want to make sure you would know since you haven't eaten anything for two weeks..."

No response from him...

"You have to eat something, Goku. It's been fourteen days since you've last eaten." Erza said, walking next to Goku as she sees the same cold look on his face.

"I'll eat when Mira comes out alive, Erza." Goku finally responded, "I only want food from Mira..."

"Goku..." Erza had a sad look on her face, "Well, I'll leave this tray for you, okay? It's curry Lisanna made. This recipe came from Mira so Lisanna did the best she could to make sure it'll taste the same."

Goku didn't respond. He was smelling the curry but gave Erza a good poker face. This time, he finally gave in and took the tray off of Erza. Placing it on his lap, he took a mixed scoop of everything and ate it. Erza watched. Usually, when he eats food, he would get filled with excitement. But right now, after taking in my bite, he just gave a sigh after. Scoop after scoop, he was looking at Mirajane. He finished and gave the tray back to her...

"Um, I'll head out, then. See ya, Goku..."

No response from him...

She left the door opened and headed back down to the main kitchen. During her trip on the stairs, she couldn't help but think about him. This was the same person whom she was very fond of, in a master-student way, that is. At least, that's what she thinks anyway. When she arrived at the kitchen, she got greeted by the girls...

"Hey, Erza! Oh, the tray's empty! He finally craved, didn't he?" Lisanna said cleaning plates at the sink.

"He did, but things were the same. The same cold-hearted look and he only looks at Mira. I know he cares about Master, Hisui, & probably Ultear, but he only pays his attention only to Mira."

"Well, they were spending a lot of time together. I even heard from Goku one time that every morning, before he wakes up, Mira would walk to his house to cook him a grand breakfast." Lucy informs, wiping her hands on the apron she was wearing.

"He's been like this for two weeks. Goku said those tanks are brand new, right? How come it's taking this long to heal them...?" Levy couldn't figure it out.

"It's not the machine, Levy. It's their bodies." Erza informs.

"What do you mean?"

"The machines are working finely. It's what their bodies are giving off that's holding back the healing procedure. It's faint but I sense another type of energy. A bad one that's feeding off of them." Erza explained.

"How do you know that, Erza?" Lisanna asked, taking off her apron and placing on the counter.

"One day, I saw Goku in his SSJ form overwriting the negative energy by placing his hand on the window of it. He did it for the Ultear, the Princess, & Master. In the process of seeing it, I saw red energy Goku described as 'demon energy'."

"What about Mira? He didn't do it for her, too?"

"He did but for some reason, more of the negative energy kept brewing out of her. And this is the part where it really gets me. Goku told me it's because since they met, Mira has been taking in demon energy due to her Satan Soul."

"I get it. Her Satan Soul's appearance is somewhat like a demon." Juvia adds on.

"Right, Juvia. Before Goku went silence on us, he told me that demon energy smelled Mira's Satan Soul and decided to aid her with power. Mira just didn't know about it."

"Goku knew that from just placing his hand on the glass?" Lucy raised an eyebrow.

"He's an expert at sensing energy. He's better than we are and that's only because he's been at this sensing Ki thing since it's a thing in his world." Erza said, putting the tray in the sink, "Now if you guys excuse me, I'm going to go out."

"Oh? You're not going to join Natsu & Gray in the Gravity Room, Erza?" Wendy asked, hopping off her seat from the counter.

"I did a session with them yesterday and today won't be any different. I think I'll just take on a solo mission. To bring my mind off of Goku."

"Instead of a going solo, mind if I tag along?" Cana offered herself.

"S-Sure, Cana. I don't mind the company. But this does surprise me. How come you want to come along?"

"It's been awkward between me and him. You know, Goku? Whenever we pass each other in the hall, I try to reach out to him. But he doesn't answer. He always has that cold look." Cana placed her hands behind her back, giving a sad look on the ground, "Just like him, I need some space. Well, fresh-air would be the right term."

"You haven't tried apologizing to him yet, Cana? Since you slapped him you've been different."

"I tried many attempts in trying to talk to him but, at the end of the end, he just ignores me."

"That's harsh, even for him," Erza said, putting on her armor and earrings.

"It is, but I've learned a few things. He's always inside the room with Mira during the day. But at night, where everyone leaves, he goes out to train for three hours."

"Really? How do you know that?" Erza asked, surprised with something new about the Saiyan.

"When everyone's gone for the night, it's usually Goku & me in this house. 'Cause I live here, Erza." Cana brings as she looks at a confused Erza, "I kept wondering to myself that no one can keep it up in doing one thing. Goku couldn't possibly stay in the room. So I did a stakeout in another room two doors down. After it hits midnight, he goes out to the Gravity Room to train."

"He didn't sense you or something?"

"I hid my Ki. Even if he were to spot me, I doubt he cares to speak up about it. Let's just focus on your missions, Erza. I want to take some load off bashing people with my cards."

"Okay, let's get going, then."

"Oh, wait, you two! Here are some bentos I made!" Lisanna handed them two lunch boxes, "I tried my best to replicate how Mira does it so hope you two like it when you go out."

"Yeah, thank you, Lisanna." Erza smiled at her, tipping her off with a hand wave.

"We'll see you girls around." Cana waved, showing a smile that'll be needed once her and Erza get on the road.

The sound of the front door opening indicated Erza & Cana's leave. The moment the two girls left for departure; the Fire Dragon Slayer & Ice Mage left the Gravity Room on standby for some grub. They would shirtless & sweating. As they head for the kitchen, the two smelled Lisanna's cooking and came crashing in on the girls. With the exception of Mirajane & Erza, the food that Lisanna made outshined Lucy & the others. Especially Levy. When she cooks, nothing but terrible burns come out as the results. So, without deepest regrets, she was going to stick to her shtick...

"Ha... The hell is that smell? Did someone burn something, what's up?" Natsu waved in front of his nose to rid the smell away from him.

"It was probably your breath, Natsu. Get it? 'Cause you operate on fire and usually when something's on fire, there's a burning smell to it."

"I know you're joking, Frosty, but I get what you mean, okay?" Natsu raised one eyebrow up, making a face that told Gray to not make any more jokes.

"Actually, you guys, that was my fault. I tried cooking..." Levy was embarrassed to admit.

"O-Oh..." the boys were quiet.

"You two are done training for today?" Lisanna asked.

"Kinda. Okay, well, no. We're on a break. We still can't do above times twenty gravity so we're taking a break. Got something to eat?" Gray said, rubbing his exposed stomach in front of the girls.

"(Gray's abs are showing! I'm gonna faint!)" Juvia thoughts were to herself as her nose took part in the letting out nose blood.

"Wow, Lis, this is taste freakin' amazing!" Natsu said, eating the sliced pizza she just made, "The cheese literally comes off once you take a freakin' bite! It's so gooey and good! Nice job." Natsu went on to eating his fifth slice.

"Thank you, Natsu." Lisanna took the compliment, giving a sigh after, "You going to jump into the eating fray, too, Gray?"

She looked at Gray hopping in on his sixth slice. Seeing the half-naked mage eat his heart out, Lisanna gave into his action and let out a smile. It's a smile that she knows Gray was going to like her food. But this wasn't all of Fairy Tail. Almost the entire cast of Fairy Tail made themselves a home. Only until their master comes out of their healing tank...

"Gosh, this is so good. Way better than what restaurants serve, in my opinion. I take this over restaurants any day!" Lucy said, finishing up her second slice.

"That's because your taste buds are terrible, Lucy." Happy mocks, showing a smug that he was trash talking.

"Way to go with the texture, Lisanna," Bisca said, feeding Asuka her own slice.

"Pizza and booze go great together!" Wakaba inquired, sitting on the couch while being sober.

"So, is Laxus & the Tribe still helping the people in Magnolia?" Wendy asked, hoping someone to call her out.

"Yeah, that's right. Evergreen told me that all four of them are gonna be busy for a little bit longer. I'm not sure for how long, though. Days or maybe weeks, I'm assuming. Magnolia, especially the center of it, is messed up. Buildings destroyed from the collateral damage of Goku's fight with Ultear. They're doing construction work because it's nothing but a man can can't handle!" Elfman gave props to the Thunder God Tribe.

"We get it, Elfman. It's so 'manly'." Gajeel intervened, looking at Levy pouting at the ground, "Something wrong, small fry? You looked like you got spoiled from a movie you haven't watched yet."

"Ah... Yeah. It's just that I couldn't make not one type of decent food here. I was hoping to expand my hobbies other than just being smart and stuff. Guess I'm not cut out for cooking, huh?"

"Damn right, you're not." Gajeel didn't cut corners when agreeing.

"W-What!?" Levy fell back on her chair, conflicted with Gajeel's words, she flips out a little, "Gajeel, that was the part where you say, 'No, don't say that, Levy. It just takes time! Don't sweat it!' or something like that. You didn't have to be such a big jerk about it!"

"Well, isn't it better to be honest rather than to raise up someone's hope? Huh? Huh...?" Gajeel pointed out as he crosses his arms.

"Gajeel does have a valid point, Levy. To raise someone's hopes up for them to experience terrible results is something no one wants to feel." Lily pointed out, standing on the counter as he finished his comment.

"Ugh..." Levy sighed, "I guess so, Lily."

"You seem down more than ever. (I really don't hold back what I say...)" Gajeel flickered a little, "How about this, small fry. If you're not in the cheering mood as you usually are, I'll sing to brighten up your day. Deal?"

"Y-Yes! Yes, yes, and yes, Gajeel!" Levy said as she shows excitement.

While things were happening left and right, something was about to happen in the room with the unconscious four. As the four of the victims are still filled with injuries, something was about to go down. Mostly on the She-Devil. Inside her tank, she was twitching by just a thread. Three bubbles, at every twenty seconds, flew up the moment Mirajane twitches.

But what was making her twitch?

For three minutes in, Mirajane was reliving her encounter with the corrupted Ultear. Reimaging things she tried to remember, there wasn't much she could make out of it. But the main thing that struck her out in the field was Goku crying. Repeatedly, she kept hearing his words play out...

"Mira... No..."

In her dream, she saw Goku breaking down. Eyes widen as no one but herself could see, tears flowing down on his face as he couldn't stop himself from shaking, Mirajane was seeing her Saiyan hyperventilating...

"I got you killed... Mira. This is my fault..."

He fell on his knees from seeing her body. Beneath her was a pond of her blood.

"I'm so sorry, Mira... I... I... I couldn't' hold up on our promise together..."

"(Why is Goku crying...? What's going on...!?)"

Only her eyes continued to twitch. This unforeseen memory of seeing Goku cry convinced her that something was wrong. But she couldn't make anything out of it due to being inside the healing tank. So at the very most, she silently remains to twitch...

Late Evening

Outside of Magnolia Town...

From whatever mission Erza and Cana took on, they finished. It was longer than expected and it wasn't something they had in mind, Nonetheless, it was one job done. Now, they were heading back to Goku's, where it was getting dark. Erza got out of her armor and was helping a drunk Cana walk back to Goku's house, whom she now lives in. During the mission they were on, the daughter of Gildarts did nothing but drink her heart out...

"If I had known you would've drinking until you drop, I would've dropped you off at a motel." Erza said, placing Cana's right arm over her shoulder, "We're almost there, Cana. Hang in there..."

"Haahh... You know, it's funny, Erza. I never got to tell him how sorry I am." Cana wobbled her head in a tilting formation; left and right.

"I know. And when Mira & the Master are all right, you can say it to him there."

"Erza, can I ask you a question?" asked Cana, moping to her with a puppy face.

"Sure, I guess. What's on your mind?"

"Why is Goku so obsess with Mira for?"

"Uh... I, uh..." Erza didn't answer. She's usually calm and collective but even she couldn't figure it out, "I'm not sure myself, Cana. I just assume it's because Mira can cook better than me or something. But, for some reason, my heart thinks it's not only that."

"My heart thinks the same way, too." Cana said, with blush red cheeks, she looks at the ground she walks on, "Goku's not the type to go for bimbo girls and that's fine and all, but... It just... It weirds me out when I see him so happy with Mira, ya know?"

"Is that jealousy I detect from you? That's shocking. I thought the only thing you could ever love is alcohol."

"Oh, well, yeah, I love alcohol, Erza. I'm just, how do you say it, depressed? I don't know why, but every time I see those two together, they look so damn happy. Like they're a married couple. And you want to know the funny thing is? Goku doesn't show that kind of happiness towards us girls! What a jerk..." she sniffs.

"I will agree with you on that one. I've been spending a lot of time with him when he trains me and the boys. His behavior is simple as it would be to boys his gender. He shows that to me too when I'm with the boys but to Mira? I agree with you on that one."

"Right!?" she yelled, expanding her jaw from to feel as though she's always right, "To Lucy, Lisanna, you, me, and any other girl beside Mira, he acts like a normal boy. But to Mira..."

"He acts like a lover to her." Erza finished her sentence.

"Jeez, dude, what an annoying pain in the ass. I mean like, does he not know there are other girls in the guild? We do exist!"

"Cana, is there something you're not telling me?"

"Wha-What? What are you talking about?"

"Do you have a crush on Goku?"

"Uh..." Cana's eyes and mouth widen, she was getting flustered and her face tainted in red proved so, otherwise, "I... I do..."

"You do!? When did this happen?"

"Last night, it was last when I figured out these emotions I have towards him..."

"I don't think I follow..."

"Erza, since our argument, I've been trying to figuring out ways to kiss and make up. And since then, I've been thinking about apologizing to 'Goku' and only that Saiyan idiot. Do you see where I'm getting at? I kept thinking about him when I'm supposed to say things to make up."

"Could it be that your mind got infected on only thinking about Goku for so much that you're undergoing it? Meaning, you've come to like him the moment you keep on thinking about him?"

"Is it that? Ugh, I don't even know... And the shittiest thing about that is he'll never know how I feel if I don't tell him. And if I don't tell him and we end continuing like this, we'll get distance..."

"Then, do yourself a favor and apologize to him already, Cana." Erza advised, "Sometimes, it's often best for the guy to apologize. But this time, it's best if you did the honors in apologizing to him. He was lost when he saw Mira down like that."

"Yeah, Erza, but... How would he feel if, instead of Mira, one of us got ram through by Ultear's sword? Would he show the same feelings he showed to Mira? Probably not but it would nice if he did."

"So let me get this straight. You developed a personal crush on him because you kept thinking about him and when you saw how lovey-dovey he acts towards Mira, you get jealous?"

"I hate to admit it but, yeah. Don't you get jealous..."

"I do get jealous but I don't have a crush on him... (Or at least I don't...) I just find it awkward and cringy when those two flirt."

"Well," Cana sighed, "I just wish he could act the same as he was first introduced. Because I don't want to feel neglected or ignored by him anymore. I hate that feeling."

"You won't be able to feel those unnecessary negative feelings if you say you're sorry. What so hard about saying that?"

"It's rare for me to do that, Erza, you know that..."

"In any case, when you're feeling that the moment's right, don't be afraid. If you miss your chance, you won't get another one." Erza gives advice to her, letting go of her arm, the two arrived in front of Goku's house.

"Yeah. Thanks, Erza. Guess I'll take a hot steaming bath and head straight to bed or something... I'll see ya, girl." Cana waved weakly, she burped the moment Erza opened the door for her, "What are you doing? Why are you coming inside?"

"I want to speak to Goku, myself. To make something out of our conversation, I want him to be cheerful again. It's been two weeks. Maybe Mira & the others might not get out anytime soon so we won't see a happy Goku."

"Oh, good point, then. Well, see ya tomorrow, girlfriend. Later" Cana went upstairs to her room; she was struggling to get upstairs but she managed.

"(So she has a crush on Goku? That's Mira, the Fiore Princess, and now Cana? What Cana said when she told me how she was falling for him... It still doesn't make sense. Oh, well. No use crying over spilled milk. I better go check in on Goku.)"

She skipped two steps at a time when going up to the second floor. As she makes her way to see the Saiyan in the healing tank room, Erza saw Cana's door open. She was naked and was lying in bed; moaning on the headache she's getting right now from drinking extremely hard. By the time she got to the room, she took a peek and tilted her head at the door hinge. Goku was there; still staring at Mirajane's tank. She squinted her eyes to see the controls of the She-Devil.

Her pulse was maintaining and she was fine. But she didn't know for how long, though. Looking back to Goku, Erza knew she had to do something. She didn't want Goku to be this way for long so, behind Cana's back, she was going to try something on him...

Midnight...

Goku's House...

When it came to information about what Goku does while Mirajane was in the tank, Cana was right on the money. He was in the Gravity Room, applying five hundred times gravity to himself, he started training in his base form. Outside of the door, Erza was waiting for him. Her arms were crossed and her left leg was bent for her foot to touch the wall. After three hours, Goku came out...

"Goku..." Erza calls his name as she got out of her position.

"?" Goku turned around, "Erza..." he said, wiping his face with a towel as his abs were exposed to her, "What do you want?"

"Can we, uh, talk? Please, if you have time."

"Fine, but this better be quick. I've got to get back to Mira." Goku said, throwing his towel to his room by blasting under it with Ki.

Together, the two-headed downstairs in the kitchen. Erza was going to have a conversation with Goku on the counter; hoping he'll get something out of this. Before she could talk some sense into him, hoping he'll get cheerful as he once was, she kept staring at his abs. His body demeanor and the way it was shaped, Erza was impressed with it. Natsu & the other boys were in shape but compared to the Saiyan? Goku makes it looks like child's play. But it didn't distract her from the fact he still had on a cold look on his face...

"I, uh, I came to talk to you because I wanted to see you, that's all."

"That's it? To see me? Erza, you see me every day when you come in to give me my food." Goku said, harshly giving her attitude.

"Y-Yeah, I know..."

"Ugh, this was a waste of time. I'm going back up- -"

"W-Wait!" Erza grabbed onto Goku's left hand; before he could leave, "It's more than that, Goku..."

"What is?" Goku wasn't having it.

"The way you're acting, it's been going on for two weeks now."

"And what if it has? You're not one to tell me I can't be like this, you know." Goku said, letting go of Erza's grip.

"I know, I know but... Everyone is worried about you. You've been in that room all day and come out to train during midnight for three hours straight."

"How optimistic of you, Erza. What's with the sudden care?"

"Goku, I'll always care about you, Mira, & everyone else. We're all a part of Fairy Tail, a family."

"Then why didn't you stop Ultear from stabbing Mira, huh? Oh, that's right, you were sleeping..." Goku said, throw shots fire at Titania.

"K-Kch, Goku..." Erza had no words to say on the matter.

"Though, I guess it's a good thing you're here. There's something I've been meaning to tell you all but I guess I can tell you first."

"S-Sure! It can be about anything and I'll listen!" Erza said, placing her hands on the counter to hear what Goku has to say.

"For these last two weeks, Mira hasn't made any progress at all. Other than extracting demon energy out of her, everything's the same. It got me thinking..."

"What were you thinking about?"

"I've been thinking about... leaving the guild," Goku said, looking at Erza dead in the eye.

"R-Really?" Erza flinched from hearing his answer, she couldn't believe what she was hearing, "May I know why? What made you come to that conclusion?"

"If I'm out of the picture, then no one else will get hurt."

"Hurt? What do you mean by that?"

"Towa sent out Ultear to fight me. She had no intention of wanting to kill Mira. That's what I thought at first, but then it hit me. Towa must've changed her plan for Ultear and told her to kill Mira in order for me to rage hard in showing my power."

"Towa... the demon from your world, huh? Lucy told me you met her and lost."

"She got anyway before I could finish her off. The point is, she's the type of person to control, use and then dump them after they no longer have any use for her. I don't want that to happen to you or the guys back at the guild."

"G-Goku..." Erza glanced at him, she gives pity on the Saiyan and continued listening for her sake.

"If you think about it, Erza, I was responsible for everything. Because of what I did, Mira, Gramps, & Hisui are taking the blows I failed to see. I let it get to my head when I was fighting Ultear. I knew she was under control by Towa, but I didn't care. I wanted to fight her full potential, anyway. I'm really the worse, aren't I?"

"No, don't say that. I wouldn't say you're worse, Goku..."

"But I am really scummy for thinking about wanting to fight someone strong another than to do Mira the promise I said I would do to her. Everyone probably hates me or something."

"You can't just assume they do after one fatal mistake. And for your information, Goku, they're still kicking it! By a thread, if I may add!"

"Hehe, that's funny." Goku fake chuckled as he went to the living room sit down; making Erza join him, "With Mira gone, I basically don't have anybody. And the promise we made is shattered."

"Do you honestly believe yourself when you say that? Was Mira the only person in the guild you cared about? What about Natsu, Gray, Lucy, Wendy? Cana, or... me? Goku, because Mira's gone you have no one? I don't mean to step on the wrong shoe here, but you're really thinking like an idiot...!"

"How so?"

"Did you really say how so- - Because we're all family, Goku! I care about you! Everyone in the guild does, as well! Right now, you seem broken to the very core, especially when you see Mira inside the healing tank. And because of that, you're unable to reason. You're not getting the bigger picture from this and you're completely shutting yourself in. Tell me this, is this really the wisest thing to do? To abandon your friends and run away from your problems?"

"I'm not running away from my problems, Erza. I'm just thinking of ways to ensure that you or anyone else in Fairy Tail doesn't get caught in Towa's clutches. In fact, she was the one who put me in this world, Erza!" Goku raised his voice at her, "She said I have an important role I needed to carry out so I thought ahead and did the best I could here!"

"By what? Leaving Fairy Tail? Your family? Your home? Don't feed me that utter bullshit, Goku! You know as well as I do that you love it here!"

"Damn it, Erza, why can't you understand?! Mira's gone because of me! I meddled with you guy's life and look where it got Mira! Dead!"

"She's not dead!"

"Yes, she is!"

"No, she's not! What makes you think that?"

"It's been two weeks, Erza! No new results, nothing!"

"And that made you want to give up on her?"

"What!? No, I'm not giving up on her- - Ugh, do me a favor, Erza, and butt out my life, okay?"

"Well, sorry to rain on your parade but it's my job to meddle in on people's affair. Especially if the meddling comes from my guild. Like it or not, it's something we all do. Mira included."

"Erza..." Goku's eyes widen due to her words and seconds later, he was about to hear more.

"If Mira got the gist of the problem you're in, she would've done everything in her power to help you. She's no idiot when it comes to that and despite her kind attitude, she can really throw down in fights. This is what Mira- - No, everyone. This is what Fairy Tail would do, Goku. We're family..."

"What is it with you guys and family? You guys aren't even blood-related and yet, you would consider yourself closely together? Just... why?" Goku pouted as he looks left to avoid Erza from seeing his embarrassed face.

With such a simple question being asked, Erza smiled.

"Don't you know, Goku? Being blood-related doesn't matter in Fairy Tail because everyone there considers you like family."

"You guys are weird to the bone, you know that?" Goku front bangs were covering his eyes, "It's all fun and games but when someone you care about dies, you can really tell they're about to let out some steam. I'm a prime example when I did that to Ultear. And she's like Mira & the others."

"It's up in Fairy Tail's book. And by the way, your anger towards her when you wanted to avenge Mira, it was righteous. You were meant to be that way as it would play out for you. Whether it was out of self-impulse, or whatever, that's how life goes, accordingly."

This time, Goku's cold-hearted face changed. By being lectured by the Queen of Fairies, Goku's facial expression changed to a sad one. His front bangs came undone and his cheeks were still pluming red...

"You're weird, Erza..."

"Weird is also in Fairy Tail's book. So tell me, Goku. Why do you care about Mira so much?"

Having to be asked that question, Goku didn't hesitate to answer...

"Because I told her I would protect her. Someone from my world said I should get out in the love-making scene and find someone I could cherish and protect. I did and found one and when I first thought about it, I thought it'd be a waste of time. But I was wrong. Whenever she's shopping with me, cooking for me, smiling at me, she always seems to make my heart pound hard. It's a weird feeling but I like feeling it."

"And Cana? What about her?"

"What about her?"

"You yelled at her and you two haven't talked then, ever since."

"She's a cool person. A bit slick but I don't mind having her live with me. It's like living with a wife or something. I would like nothing more than to make things up but it's awkward, ya know? I made her mad and in a way, I deserve it..."

"(I see... So it's mixed emotions he's feeling.) Do you like Cana? Like, in a lovers way?"

"I... Is it weird if I say yes?"

"Eh? You do?"

"She cooks great and she a great person to talk to. Okay, well, she doesn't cook as great as Mira but still, I like her."

"And... what about me? I'm your student who's following under your wing so I'd like the final verdict to fall on me if you don't mind."

"I like you, too."

"Ehh!?" Erza puffed up in steam, "Y-You do?"

"Mhm. Whenever you get angry at the boys, you remind me of my ex-wife."

"Ex-wife? That'll be for another time..." Erza said, "But why me, also?"

"Mira told me to tell people how I honestly feel about someone. She said it's better that way because no one will have a bad day."

"Hehe, I can see why you would consider cherishing her." Erza said with jealousy in her eyes, "She's like a guide. Guiding you through the ways of life and for that, you're grateful to her, huh?"

"Yeah," Goku showed a weak smile, "And now that she's gone, I don't have no one now..."

"Then, how about this? If... If I were the only one in the entire world, that said I'd miss you, would you still considered leaving the guild?"

"Erza..." Goku didn't know what to say from that proper response. He froze from hearing that come out of Erza.

She would miss him? He wondered what that meant to her. If Mirajane were to say that Goku, he would quickly understand it right away because on certain occasions, he thinks about him and Mirajane being more than just "friends." Goku was lost from what Erza was trying to get at. He didn't understand what that meant from the Queen of Fairies, but it didn't stop him from tearing up. He noticed and touched his tears to find out if they were real or not. His eyes widen and his attention was kept on Erza...

"Oh. I'm crying..." Goku said, realizing it as he sees the watery tears come on his fingers, "Why am I crying? I don't understand... Why did my eyes get so watery from hearing you say that, Erza? Is there something wrong with me?"

"No, there's not. You're crying because you're taking in feelings from another girl, rather than Mira."

"You?"

"Yeah, and... When you said you have no one, you looked lost. That reminded me of someone I used to know when I was little. A man. That man sacrificed his life just so I could live mine..."

"What happened?"

"It's a long story, Goku. Long story short, I became a strong and brave person you see me today, thanks to that man. He was an eldered person who told me about Fairy Tail. He would stick his neck out for people younger than him. He was a kind person, never once had I ever seen him go off to someone, let alone a little kid. The point is, I'm not going to let you leave the guild, Goku. When you sign up to become apart of Fairy Tail, you automatically are given a family that'll care about you."

"You're really stubborn, you know that?" Goku teased.

"I do what I can to make sure people can get comfy. We get that a lot and it's like a broken record when people say that. You're a nice addition to it."

"Heh..." Goku laughed a little, smiling at the ground after two weeks of silence, "So, did you really mean what you said? You'll miss me if I leave?"

"Of course, I will. Goku, you're not only my family, but you're also my teacher & everyone's family, too."

"But why would you say that? I don't get it..."

"It's not every day we get an overpowered person in our guild who's not a hothead & arrogant like Natsu. I don't always like to admit things, but you make me smile, Goku. When you do idiotic things, you laugh it off. It showed me that you're more carefree than anyone I know on Earthland."

From receiving those compliments, Goku blushed. He wasn't crying anymore so his eyes were fine for now. All he could think about was Erza's words. He compared those words to Mira. It was clear as day Erza was like a second Mira to him. And so, he thought about wanting to cherish her, as well...

"C-Can you say that again? Say you'll miss me one more time, please?" Goku asked, embarrassed to request such a thing as it was out of character.

"I'll miss you if you leave, Goku. I'll be by your side till the very end. If you like, I can pull a Mira and say I'll be with you together, too. It's your choice." Erza said, smiling at him that holds promise.

"I would like that..." said Goku, looking away due to embarrassment, "So, that means I have to cherish you and think of you like a love one too, huh?"

"If it makes you feel better, I'll do it, too. I somewhat feel attracted to you, in a way."

"Are you really saying that? Or is it just your way of smooth-talking me?"

"Both," Erza replied, smiling at him into making him blush even more.

At that moment, Goku had let someone else enter his inner circle. His inner circle was mainly a place he organized if the word lover ever comes to his mind. By letting someone inside, he granted himself access to acknowledge Erza as a lover. So she was up there with Mirajane in the love department. And thus, in his list of ranking girls he decided to cherish, Erza took the throne of being number two...

"Erza..." Goku said her name as his front bangs covered his eyes again.

"Yes?" her eye widens and she was patiently waiting for something.

The Saiyan took charge of his newly profound feelings of the scarlet hair mistress and leaned forward to kiss her directly. They both were staring at each other in a way that made it looked like they were arguing, but silently. She was hesitating at first because she was experiencing her first kiss. But as she saw his eyes close, she followed along.

She used her left hand to touch his cheek as she pressed her lips against his. She felt his entire body loosening up the moment Goku's arms touched her shoulder. They let go of the kiss but this time, Erza fought back. Their foreheads were touching, emitting a source from their skin, she felt a sensation flooding onto her now. The same was said to the Saiyan.

Erza's second lip kiss, that she brushed into Goku's, wasn't an innocent one. She filled her teasing, hot, fiery kiss in demand, into making sure Goku wouldn't pull away. As their lips were still pressed on each other, Erza took the chance to get on his lap, making her breast press on Goku's chest, his exposed chest, that is...

"Erza..."

Hearing her teacher calls out her name like that pleased her. She was seduced by his voice of action and couldn't think straight. Her heart was fluttering to hear such a seductive voice. Their breath mingled after the breakup. Erza was still amazed at the kiss from him and her own, as well. She felt as though she nearly got the wind knocked away from her lungs...

"Goku..." Erza gasp at the close space they were sharing, "I don't know what got over me. I'm sorry."

"It's fine, Erza. I don't mind. I do this stuff to Mira all the time. She told me it's what lovers do if we were to ever feel a spark. I felt one so I did what I had to do. To share my feelings to you. Do you feel the same way?" Goku said, tilting his head as he waits for an answer.

"I kissed you back so, yeah, I do." Erza admits, "It's funny, too. I told Cana I didn't have any feelings for you but here I am, kissing you before she could. I feel as though she got cheated out on winning you over."

"Cana... I guess I should apologize to her."

"When you get the chance, Goku. Right now, focus on us."

"Us?"

"Yeah, us. We shouldn't do this because we're student and teacher, but I do want you to be the same Goku everyone knows, so..."

"So...?"

"I'm saying I'll fall for you. As a way to show what I'm feeling towards you, right now. And to make sure you cheer up because I'm sure Mira hasn't done this to you, yet."

"Kissing? Yes, she has- -"

"I'm talking about doing some naughty with you, teach." Erza said, teasing him as she placed her right index finger on his lips, "Let's take things up a notch and head to your room for some privacy time, deal?"

"D-Deal..." Goku's heart raced back.

-[Five Minutes Later]-

-[Goku's Room...]-

The two of them were naked on his bed. They glanced at each other and took pleasure in admiring their bodies. Erza, whose body was lovely in shape & firm, blushed at Goku's extremely fit body. When they were done admiring the opposite bodies, they got to work.

Goku grabbed Erza's legs and pushed her to the other side of the bed, over at the edge. He got on top of her as she was placed on her back, confined with sexual thoughts as they were intensifying. Without a shadow of a doubt, the urge on wanting to press his lips on hers came up again. He French kissed her, connecting both their tongues the moment his power pole slid inside her to the result in making a wet sound.

Her voice was replaced with a high keening hum. He watched her face make expressions in ways he couldn't believe he would see. But it was turning him on. Goku did a slow pace for Erza since it was her first time. Her hymen had punctured the moment the enormous shaft stretched her opened. And she was no longer a virgin. The head of his power pole kissed the entrance of her womb with every chance it gets, causing Erza to release a moan.

"Ahh, yes, Goku!" Erza kept moaning from the sensation she was getting, "It feels so... good!"

Erza felt an orgasm coming. She kept breathing hard in a pattern that timed her hip movements. She didn't want to cum early since she was feeling this good from Goku's manhood so she was holding it off. But with each bump pushing at the entrance of her womb, there was no helping her climax...

"Haahh! I'm cumming!" Erza said, tipping Goku that she wasn't going to have the stamina to continue.

So he picked up the speed of his thrusting and placed her on his lap, reverse cowgirl. In that position, Erza's walls tighten the power pole that was sparking her insides even more. He pushed Erza's head to him for a kiss as he continued his impeccable thrusting. Each thrusting enabled a timing where Erza was able to get her hips, that was moving up and down, in matching the rhythm of her breathing. She decided to go this route with Goku because she knew Mirajane was up there with him, so she did the honors in slaying the Saiyan's depression with her body.

She was dripping wet, the cum she splashed out of her womanhood was still hot and his power pole was still inside of her. Goku turned her around as he continued giving her pleasure. He wanted to suck on her breast as both their private areas were still at it. He sucked hard enough to where milk was about to come out of her...

"H-Hey! Not too hard, Goku! You're going to make me feel so useless here..." she sexually gasped.

When he was done breastfeeding himself, his mouth was half full of Erza's breast milk. He thought of something naughty to do at her, and this was him acting in his Great Ape ways if there were buildings to smash. With the milk in his mouth, he kissed Erza once again but made her drink her own fluids in the progress. It was a dirty thing but they didn't care because they were having a moment.

This time, Erza used a different hole to entertain the Saiyan. She got on her knees to face the power pole that kissed her womb every time there was a godly thrust. His power pole was larger than anything she had ever seen before. Because of that, she was scared. Scared but also turned on, as well. She stroked it for a limited time, seeing the precum drip out a little, she then proceeded to place it in her mouth.

Going in and out, Erza was having a difficult time enjoying herself because his enlarged manhood was hurting her jaw. But it also gave Goku divine pleasure, whereas, he felt his manhood getting deepthroated by the Queen of Fairies...

"Haa... Erza... I'm about to cum- -"

Goku felt heated at Erza's fast sucking. Her blowjob was a thousand times better than when Chi-Chi did it with him. With Erza's mouth still devouring his cock, Goku came. He hadn't had intercourse in a long time, so he led out his semen more than he & Erza anticipated. At first, Erza tried to swallow the big amount, but more kept coming out and eventually, his cum splattered all over Erza's face. She was breathing heavy as she was touching the cum in her hair with her hands...

"Such a big load... So hot... So good..." she placed her fingers, that dripped in Goku's semen, inside her mouth.

Goku was ready to end this once and for all. He got Erza to get on all fours again and slid in his manhood for the second time coming. She squealed, moaning at how hard it was after he came, Erza's tongue came out. The second coming, Goku didn't waste any more time and pushed his cock, even more, making the tip of his cock push through her womb, for it to get reshaped...

"Aahhh! So rough, Goku! I'm cumming again! Hahh!" Erza kept cumming. She kept squirting like a garden hose.

Erza screamed in both pain and pleasure, giving the idea for Goku to take things up a notch by turning SSJ. She turned her head around and saw his SSJ hair. His SSJ aura merged onto hers, causing her to drool unbelievably silly as she constantly climaxing. When Goku's manhood reached a spot she never thought it could reach, her eyes rolled back...

"Harder, faster, Goku! I love the way you widen my pussy! You're pounding my cervix like it's nothing! Hahh!"

"You feel so good, Erza! You're tightening me again! Kuaa!" Goku was fondling her breast as he continued fucking her from behind, "Erza! Erza!"

"You made me cum several times already!"

"I wanna cum inside of you, Erza!"

"Eh? Y-You, do? Mmm...! Go ahead, then! Cum inside me!"

"A-Are you sure? I don't want to get your belly big!" Goku said, continuing his thrusting as he was slowing it down from reaching a checkpoint.

"Ahh... It's good. I took a pill when you weren't looking. The pill came from your capsule container! I won't get pregnant so you have my permission. Fill my womb up with lots of your cum, Goku!" Erza begged, ensuring him that she did, in fact, take a birth control pill.

"Hahh! Erza! Erza! Erza...! I'm cumming! Haahhh!"

When he slowed down his thrusting, he slammed his cock even more inside her tight womanhood and came inside of her. For over three minutes, Erza felt her womb filling up with his semen and saw him twitching in a way where he moved his manhood up even more. Both of them breathing heavy after their intercourse. She was moaning still from Goku's ejaculation and still felt him cumming inside her. Seconds later, he finished and stuck his manhood out...

"Ahaha... Goku, you came so much inside of me. How thrilling..." Erza admits as she was touching her pussy, "So much of your semen flowing out of me, it's astonishing."

"Erza... Haa..." Goku swooped in and kissed her directly.

"Mmmm!"

"That was amazing, Erza. I never knew I needed that. I haven't even done that to Mira yet, either."

"And you made me climax so many times it started to hurt. Glad I took a birth pill ahead of time."

"When did you take one, anyway?"

"The moment you went into the bathroom. Getting back on topic here, you made me climax so many times I felt my mind going blank. I gave into submission from feeling such pleasure..."

"We should probably get some sleep. We've been at it for three hours, it's basically morning." Goku pointed out.

"Good call. Mind if I share the bed with you? Because you know, we had... sex..."

"I don't mind. I want to cuddle with you because I do that with Mira."

"Well, then, um, goodnight, Goku," Erza said as she got on Goku's right side. Her head was resting on his right peck.

"Nighty-night, Erza."

And just like that, Goku endured a special moment with Erza Scarlet. Both of them were naked still but was covered under the blanket. They didn't think it was awkward to have sex with each other, considering how they're teacher & student, but that's beside the point. They ended their conversation by cuddling tight together, with Erza in Goku's arms. The two of them, tomorrow, was going to have a field day with something they didn't think would happen so soon...

But they were glad it did. Especially the Saiyan...

Midnight

Magnolia Town...

During the time when Goku & Erza were taking their "Master & Student Relationship" up to a notch, something right above the town of Magnolia had formed. A very own wormhole has surfaced the night sky but there was a twist to it. Out from the wormhole came a 3-D rectangular object. The people below had no idea what was happening above their heads and that was only because the appearance of the wormhole was placed higher than any of the tallest buildings there.

The rectangular object was revealed to be the God Cube from Universe 6, and the person operating from the inside was the Infamous Assassin of Universe 6, Hit. The No-Miss Hit had finally arrived at where Towa was taking refuge along with the Saiyan of Universe 7. As the wormhole closes behind him, the cube descended down to a building where its roof was wide enough for the length, width, and height of Hit's ride to land on. Upon landing, he gets out and was over the edge to sightsee...

"Looks like I finally made it. Rogue's added function seems to do the trick."

He looks around to see the different environment. To him, everything looked at ancient compare of his universe in his timeline. He thought of it as a time age where the coordinates he was set to go landed him in the past or something...

"And this where I'll run into Son Goku." Hit said, walking to the corner edge of the rooftop, "I wonder if he already met Towa already. He could do me a huge favor right then and there. But knowing how demons are a problem for Gods of Destruction, I might as well get started in looking."

Hit started to levitate himself, his own purple aura was showing. However, he didn't want to cause a scene, so to fly down to the ground where everyone walks on, Hit was going to fly down at some alley...

"(If I'm lucky, I'll sense their power. Both of them. Champa told me about the erasure of Universes 1-12 in this timeline so I'm either in the Universes of 13, 14, 15, 16, 16, or 18. It would be a shit show if I were to run into any of them in this universe. That is if I step on the side of the shoe...)"

As he said what he would do, Hit landed on the ground in some back alley. Soon, he blended in with the crowd and all he could think about were his targets...

"(I guess it shouldn't bother me. I have to focus on my mission to kill Towa & Mira. Hmph, but why do I get the feeling I'll run into Son Goku...)"

Hit smirked...

"Time to begin my job."

Early Morning

Goku's House...

Not everyone was at Goku's house. Some were at the guildhall, taking on missions to keep the guild going. Team Natsu, Shadow Gear, Gajeel, Elfman, Lisanna, Cana & the exceeds had just entered inside the Saiyan's home. They all were in the heal chamber room to check up on Makarov & the others. Seemingly enough, only three unconscious people were beginning to wake up. While this was happening, Goku & Erza were still in bed...

"Hmm, ugh, haaa!" Goku sat up to stretch his arms, yawning as he looks down at Erza, who was beginning to wake up herself.

"Morning, Goku. Did you sleep well?" said Erza, placing her right elbow down to rest her right cheek.

"I did and good morning to you, Erza."

The event that happened last night convinced Erza that she has feelings for him. It was very faint at first but seeing as though she got informed about Goku's sudden affection towards her, she knew she wasn't going to get out of it. So, she decided to go for it. Mirajane & Cana weren't going to be happy with Erza's involvement with Goku but what's it to them if they stop her? She was free to do it and so she will.

After the amazing intercourse, the Queen of Fairies has officially lost her virginity. In secret, only Goku knew of the faces she was making when she was getting pleasure in ways no other boy could do to her. That is, if they can in the first place. She was still feeling naughty from last night but knew they couldn't do it because the sun had risen up. The first step to befriend Goku's heart was giving him a kiss that signaled the phrase, "You're my lover!" She leaned upwards with her lips taking charge, pressing onto his, she closes her eyes as her left hand was holding on to his left cheek...

"Whoa... What was that for?" Goku asked, standing up from his bed after receiving the kiss.

"It's just my way of saying I'm entering in on the competition to win your heart. You know, because of Mira & Cana?"

"Oh. Ha... Haha, you're making me blush, Erza." Goku said, laughing it off as he got to change, "I'm happy."

"You are?"

"Yeah, I am. At first, I wanted to know what was it was like to cherish and protect someone. I did that with Mira and didn't know that along the way, I started to have feelings for her. I know this because someone from my world told me that. Now, I have these feelings with you, Erza. It's gonna be hard to explain this to Mira and I hope she doesn't get mad at me..."

"She'll have to go through me if she gets angry. I don't mind, though. She can get mad all she likes, Goku. If you say that you like me, then I'll do you the favor and return back the feelings. I like you, too."

"What about love? One time I said 'I love you' to Mira and she gracefully said it back. While giving me a surprise hug, in the process."

"I'm not sure if we should go that fast in our relationship, Goku. Slow and steady makes a good & healthy one. W-What?" Erza noticed Goku eyeballing her like she did something bad.

"Nothing. That's weird, you're weird, Erza."

"W-Weird? There's nothing weird about not rushing a relationship- -"

"I'm just kidding. I don't mind not rushing it. If I remember everything right, my relationship with Mira isn't a rushed one. At least that's what I hope..."

"Right... Whatever you say... (Except I want Goku to focus on no one but me. That means I've got to find a way to bring my relationship status higher than Mira's so he'll only fall in love with me. Heh, this is gonna be interesting. It's like our old rivalry's going to get resurrected, Mira. But with a boy...)" Erza got up and changed into the attire of her white buttoned, sleeveless shirt with her blue shirt slightly above her knees.

"So... where do we go from here?"

"What do you mean?" Erza asked, sitting on the bed as she puts on her cross earrings.

"Well, I said I want to cherish you now and protect you because I find you like a loved one. You didn't deny it and said you feel the same way. How is that gonna affect us when we're with our guild?"

Erza got up and went around the bed. She smiled and decided to swoop in for another kiss. A longer one that was going to get placed in their book of special moments. Her breasts were pressed on his chest, her arms around him, she acted bolder than Mira and it took Goku by storm...

"Everything is the same as it should be. Nothing's changed. Well, I guess I shouldn't say 'nothing' when we've discovered our hidden affection for each other..."

"So...?"

"So, we act as though nothing's changed, Goku. We can show these feelings to everyone and if they don't like it, then that's on them. It's not like it's wrong to like you. With the exception of disapprovals from Mira & Cana, shit won't hit the fan in the long run."

"Yeah..." Goku said, smiling at Erza, "We should probably head out. I've got to break the silence with everyone I threw away. You know, 'cause I wasn't talking to them?"

"I get it, but yeah, you do that."

"The first person I should find is Cana. I still didn't see it coming when she slapped me. Oh, and punched me, as well. Hmm? Uh!" Goku detected three power levels coming from the healing chamber room.

"What's wrong?"

"Do you sense that? It's Gramps!"

"Master? Uh, now I see. I sense him too! It's not just him, though... There's two more!"

"This other energy I'm sensing is Hisui! The third one... I'm unfamiliar with it. It must be Ultear."

"This is groundbreaking news! Goku, let's head over to Master & greet him & the two girls!"

"Sure but we're not going to be the first and only ones there. Natsu & the others entered inside."

"Really? Did they sense Master waking up, too?"

"There were there before I sensed Gramp's energy. So they know about him, Hisui, & Ultear waking up from her healing tank."

"Let's not waste time and head over to them, Goku!"

"Sure, but first..."

Goku placed her back on the bed. She had questions as to why he would do that but soon she found out why. He got on top of her just so he could show more of his affection. A kiss, that solidifies how serious he is in wanting to cherish her. And so, she smiled and kissed him back. They went a couple of rounds but that was the finishing point. After two minutes, they finished up and headed right out the door...

Morning

Second Floor, Healing Chamber Room...

As Goku & Erza sensed it, the selective three had gained back their conscience and was getting out of their tank. Makarov was the first to get out and in doing so, he received multiple his from his children, suffocating him due to their relief. Hisui was the second to awaken and she received her won welcome back hug by Lucy. The third was Ultear. She wasn't out yet. This was looking good on Fairy Tail's payroll as they declared their recovery a major win...

"It's good to see you all recovered, Princess!" Lucy said, hanging on to her with her hug.

"Yeah, I don't know how, but I'm healed... Did Goku heal me?"

"Not exactly but he did have a part in your recovery."

"Oh, well, that's good, I guess. Can't tell you good it feels to breathe in the same air as you guys." Hisui said, getting out of the hug.

"You and me both, your Majesty." Makarov agreed, grabbing his coat as he puts it on, "Say, what happened while I was out, anyway?"

"Right after you got knocked out of the field, my sis took a sword right through her by Ultear over there," Lisanna explains, pointing over at Makarov's left side.

"And all this happened because I wasn't there to do anything!" Natsu blames himself for falling asleep during the Goku v Ultear battle.

"But not to worry, Lisanna! The next time Ultear goes all icy evil on you, Natsu will beat her down!" Happy said, promising his foster mother with a promise that won't get fulfilled.

"Thanks, Happy, but I don't think it's necessary."

"How so?" Gray wondered as he looks at her.

"Goku told me that in order to rid of the brainwashing Towa cast on people, you would need to inflict them a specific amount of damage to the victim for them to snap out of it."

"I see... Well, that brings a load off because after I spotted her the next healing tank over there, I was wondering why she was being treated here. I had a feeling she might attack us when she's at full health." said Hisui, sigh with relief after glancing at the daughter of potential Wizard Saint.

"That's good news for us, too!" Macao said, crossing his arms as he smiles at his Makarov.

"It is, but then there's a problem. How can we inflict them with enough damage if we can' compete on their level?" Wakaba wondered.

"You may not but ashy here and I can." Gray said, assuring Wakaba with a confident smirk, "The both of us had been training nonstop in the Gravity Room for two weeks straight and now, we've got a good sense of what our limit is when it comes to people."

"Heh, I hate to agree with stripper here, but he's right! Damn straight!" Natsu smirked.

"That's good, you two." Makarov admired them, "The fact that you two can do similar things like Gok can uplift the burden he's carrying on his own, right now."

"That's true. And let's not forget Erza can do what we can do, too!" Wendy added in, clenching both her fist as she sees a sparking Natsu & Gray.

"And since they're three more brainwashed people, with one having to be Gildarts, I'm certain that things may be looking good on our end of the deal," Romeo said.

"It would but remember this, Romeo, we don't have Goku, so they could give us quite a difficult time," Levy said, mentioning the hard work put into putting a corrupted servant down.

"Oh, yeah, you're right, Levy."

"Speaking of Goku, where is he? I don't see him in this room with us." Hisui wondered as she looks around the room.

"He's... sleeping, I suppose. Funny, before we get here, he would usually be in front of Mira's tank as we head inside this room."

"Lucy's right. When we come in, the first thing we see when coming here is Goku. I guess after two weeks of watching over Mira his body must've shut down. So he's probably in his room." Cana said, "(I was hoping to apologize when I see him today but he might sleep the entire day away... Oh, well...)"

By the time Makarov & Hisui took in all the compliments and precious grieving, Goku & Erza came by the door and helped themselves in. Doing that caused the people there to catch aware of the sudden change in Goku's behavior. While also thinking about why Erza came in next to him...

"G-Goku!?" Hisui said, widening her eyes as she finally sees him after two whole weeks.

"Hisui... You're all right..." Goku said, coming up to her.

"Y-Yeah, I am..." Hisui blushed at Goku, "(He's so close to me...)"

"And Gramps too... I'm glad you two are out and all but why now? How did you come out?"

"We were stuck in a made-up world as we were recovering, my boy." Makarov answered, grabbing his stick he always carries with, "It was a nightmare."

"What do you mean, Master?" Erza asked the small old man, "You were in a nightmare for two weeks?"

"Yes, and it felt real."

"What kind of world were you experiencing?" Natsu asked, letting curiosity get to him.

"It felt like I've been stuck in my nightmare world for over a hundred years. I couldn't escape and there were multiple things I had to fight to survive. It was very scary to say the least."

"I had a similar experience, except to survive in my nightmare world, I had to defeat my own self. The other version of myself was the opposite of me and I thought I wouldn't make it out alive."

"But here you are, Princess," Lucy said, supporting her with a smile.

"Hold on, you two got out from recovery because you defeated something in your own mind?" Goku wanted to make sure.

"That's right," Makarov said, agreeing with Hisui doing the same.

"I see... Then, waiting for Mira doesn't matter if her wound is sealed up. She must be fighting whatever it is inside her mind."

"I hate to interrupt your thinking, Goku, but it looks like Ultear's waking up." Lisanna pointed out.

Ultear's healing tank started to buzz in its blinker, indicating that she was able to regain consciousness from her two-week slumber. So, with the help of Shadow Gear, Gajeel & Panther Lily, they managed to open up the hatch of the tank right after the special healing liquid dialed down. Gajeel removed the wires and breathing masking from her and soon, she started gaining her vision & conscience...

"Looks like sleeping beauty is awake," Gray said, as he was happy to see her.

"Ugh... Gray Fullbuster?" Ultear was still dizzy from getting out, she looks to her left, "Natsu Dragneel? What the... Am I by chance in the Fairy Tail guild?"

"Well, you're half right. You're with Fairy Tail but not in our guildhall. We're at a friend's house." Wendy said, checking her body with healing magic, "You're well."

"You're Wendy Marvell..." Ultear looked over her and see Hisui, "You're the Fiore Princess... What is going on here?"

"We should be asking you that," Goku came in, "Ultear, was it?"

"Who are you?" Ultear glanced at him, then recognized him right away, "Wait, you're that Saiyan Towa talks about..."

"My name is Goku. Son Goku for the full name but Goku just works as fine." Goku said with a little attitude.

Ultear froze. She instantly recognized that hairstyle because she was informed about Goku and what he would look like when she was forcefully working under Towa. It was that, yes, but it was also because of their battle. When she was fighting Goku against her will, she felt Goku hiding back more power than he already displayed to him. When he started walking over to her with a straight face, her heart couldn't help but pound intensely...

"S-Son Goku, correct?"

"That's correct."

"L-Listen, I know what I did was uncalled for. Having to strike down your white-haired guildmate wasn't something I was proud of. But believe me, when I say this, I was under- -"

"Her control? I know that, Ultear. And I don't blame you."

"Y-You don't? I don't understand, you saw me gut your organs out and you're saying I'm not to blame?"

"As you said, you were under Towa's brainwashing. You didn't mean to but the power that took over your mind said so, otherwise. It wasn't you that tortured Mira. I mean, well, yes, you were possessed but now you're not so it's all is forgiving."

"How could you talk to me like that so easily? I saw you tearing up when your friend was bleeding out."

"You were only subjugated to her biddings. You don't have to apologize to make things right between us. I don't know you that much but I know that you change. You look like a person who's changing for the better, so there's that."

"Son... Goku..." Ultear blushed, speechless to say a word.

"But, I would like it if you would just call me Goku. Oh, and since you're not evil-ish anymore, would you mind doing me a favor?"

"I suppose...What's the favor?"

"Join me in stopping Towa. I've seen you fight, Ultear, and you can really throw down. I would like nothing more than for the two of us to work together in stopping that demon."

"S-Sure, It can be my way to repent my sins for ruining the person you cared about. If you like, I can work under you... You know, as a well to atone what I've done to you and Fairy Tail." Ultear said, bowing her head down to show respect.

"Could you be more specific?"

"I want to offer my services to you twenty-four seven. No matter what situation I'm in, I'll come to aid you with whatever it is you wish for me to do. Does that sound like a deal?" Ultear hopes.

"You sure drive a hard bargain. Deal." Goku held out his hand for Ultear to take.

"(He's easily forgiving. He's not like much men on Earthland. He's way softer than Jellal...)"

"Oh, Goku. How come you're acting normal now? You're usually so grumpy & moody that you put all negative emotions into one intense staring at my sis." Lisanna asked, seeing the Saiyan smile like nothing had happened.

"I realized I acted like a cold-hearted jerk when I kept ignoring you guys. I'm sorry. I just got cheered up by someone whom I considered to cherish now!"

"Oh, really? Who?"

"Erza!" Goku said, hugging Erza to prove a point, "Things were a bit different last night and I'm glad they were..."

"Y-Yeah..." Erza blushed from having to be seen by everyone.

"Erza!?" Natsu & Gray dropped their jaws.

"Wait, don't you cherish Mira, though? What's going on here!" Elfman wanted to get to the bottom of it, "What's the big idea is saying you'll cherish & protect Erza when you said that to my sis!"

"Erza told me I can cherish more people like you guys 'cause we're all family. Something like that, I'm not used to hearing those types of things like you all are."

"That reminds me. Goku, you've fought Towa and knows what she's planning, right?"

"Sorta, yeah. What's up, Levy?"

"Would you mind explaining to us what Towa's plans are and what she intends to do with our Gildarts?"

"That would be a valuable thing to do," Makarov said, agreeing with Levy as he cough.

"Sure, but I think Ultear here can inform you all. You were under her control so inside you were conscious enough to see what she was doing all this time."

"Yeah, I'll go right ahead and explain what Towa is and what her objectives are. At the very most, I'll try to get out as much information I can from my memories."

"Anything helps," Goku said.

For over twenty-minutes, Ultear was going over with Fairy Tail at what kind of person Towa is. Her plans, what she hopes to accomplish, everything. As that was happening, Cana wanted to use the opportunity to apologize to Goku, who went back to his cheerful self but couldn't due to how she kept getting an instant replay of their argument. Outside the room were Goku & Hisui. They were having their own conversation. To catch up on things seeing as though two weeks had passed...

"It's nice to see you well, Goku!" Hisui said, giving him a tight hug with relief, "It's been like forever since last we've seen each other."

"Yeah, the feeling's neutral. I'm just glad you're not dead, Hisui. I don't know what I would do if I got the Fiore Princess killed during a date gone wrong. (And Mira..)"

"Well in terms of miracles, I'm still kicking it. Something tells me if I were conscious during that time, I would've seen you rage like nothing before." Hisui brings up as her cheeks tainted in tints of red.

"That makes one of us. You are right though, Hisui. I did rage. It's just that I've been here for over two weeks now that I've made so many friends. With what I deal with on a day to day basis, I don't want them in to suffer what I've experienced for 'pain'. Ultear included."

"I just find it surprising you would forgive her so easily. I guess that's just who you are, huh? I'm glad you're doing all right, Goku. And that you're back with m- - I mean us! As long as you're happy, you know?"

"Seeing you active makes me happy. Say, how would you feel if I find you to be someone I could consider to be cherished."

"Err... Come again?" Hisui puffed up in steam, "Cause I could've sworn you said you would cherish me or something..."

"I did. Our date was fun and after a pep talk with Erza, I learned that you can cherish more people in our lives. (I do that with my sons but... Somehow it's a different feeling with the people here...) You can say no if you wa- -"

"Y-Yes! I'll take you up on that offer! Consider me a person you would cherish because I shall do the same!" Hisui said, jerking her clenched fist in fast motion.

"Good! 'Cause the next time we go on a date; I want to get more & more croquettes! Maybe when Mira wakes up, she can make some for me."

"I don't know why you're so fond of that white hair mistress, Goku. It makes me feel so irrelevant. And I'm envious on how you could treat her so... right."

"Really? I just like her so much. That's why I like being around her. Besides cooking, she's awesome! If we could hang out every day, what would you gave done to me...?"

"Well, I'd do this..." Hisui leaned up to Goku & kisses him directly, "I, uh, I would do that... (I... I kissed him! Aghh! Why did I do that!?)"

"That was... unexpected." Goku said, touching his lips from feeling her soft one, "Hisui?"

"Hey, um, if it's not a hassle, Goku, I'd like it if we could go on another date soon. Is that okay?"

"Yeah, you bet! I'll look forward to the next one."

"It's like your guild said, things were looking terrible back then but now, it's looking great. The wounds and suffering you endured will be fully healed."

"Healed...?" Goku thought of an idea.

"Is something wrong, Goku? (Was it something I said? He looks confused...)"

"I think I know how to bring back Mira from her eternal slumber," Goku said, turning in an SSJ then heads right back inside.

"G-Goku?" Hisui followed after.

When Goku was heading to Mirajane's healing tank, Ultear got done explaining everything there is to know about Towa. She even knew who the other two servants that served under her against their will. They were revealed to be the two other founders of Crime Sorcière, Jellal Fernandes & Meredy. Having to hear her childhood friend's name, Erza was quiet. To think he got captured into serving someone. It was giving her Tower of Heaven PTSD. However, it gets brushed off when Goku walks pass her in his SSJ form...

"Hey, Goku, what are you doing?" Wendy asked as she sees him touch the glass with his right hand.

He ignored her and got right to work. With a pressed of a button, he got rid of the special liquid, dialing it down as the hatch opens up, Goku removed all the wires and mouth mask. He places her in his arms for a bit just to take a look. Her body was healthy and there wasn't a hole in her stomach anymore. So, he gently placed her on the ground with her right hand on top of her forehead...

"Um, Goku? What are you doing to my sister? She was healing, you know..." Lisanna said, swooping next to him along with Elfman.

"Is it wise to pull her out when she hasn't healed yet?" Elfman questioned him, "what can of manly thing are you going to do?"

"I wonder... I'm going to try to heal her with my SSJ form."

"Eh!? How are you going to do that?!" Lucy said in shock.

"I've done it before. I healed this bird from way back then and in my other form when I was fighting a Destroyer God, he stabbed me with his sharped fingers but I got up the next minute." Goku informs as his golden aura merges with Mirajane.

"Her forehead's shining..." Erza points out, "How exactly are you going to heal her?"

"I'm going to lend her my energy. I don't know what nightmarish thing she's taking on right now, but I know it's taking her forever. So, I'm going to speed up the fight against whoever it is she's up against in her mind, with the help of my own energy."

"Is that even possible?" Hisui wondered.

"Anything is possible. I didn't know about a Destroyer God until he beat me in less than a minute. Okay, everyone. Stand back."

With everyone standing behind the Saiyan, Goku included both his hands. The right one, as previously stated, is on Mirajane's forehead while the other is on her stomach, where the hole previously was. Her body was glowing. Radiating a bright golden light, everyone was feeling the pressure from Goku's doing.

For the students, they were feeling the immense energy he was largely giving out to the She-Devil. At a moment's notice, her body was levitating along with taking in Goku's SSJ aura. Fairy Tail was on the edge of their seats when seeing something that was so ritual like take place. By giving Mirajane his energy with god essences inside of it, the created wind pressure was blowing everyone's hair back...

"This breeze is amazing but why the heck is Goku offering my sis like some kind of offerings to the Gods or something!?" Elfman couldn't hold his own ground from Goku's giving out pressure so he fell back.

"So much energy... How much did you have in store, Goku!?" Cana mumbled to herself as she was covering eyes.

"If Goku doesn't stop, he's gonna destroy his own house!" Gray said, widening his eyes with Juvia behind him.

The entire room was whitening out. There were three energy sounds coming out of Mirajane, one by one. By the time the third one was heard, the room went back to normal. Mirajane, who was still levitating in the air, fell into Goku's arms. He had finished and Fairy Tail, that was behind him stood up from falling onto the ground. The Saiyan went back to base form and was waiting for the results...

"Hey, Goku! That was some performance you just did!" Natsu said, getting up from the mini earthquake, "What's the point of giving Mira energy when she's unconscious on the inside?"

"Because, Natsu, I've just noticed something during the time Gramps & Hisui told me about their nightmarish dreams. There was energy inside of them that was keeping them from waking up."

"Like with you when you and Mira went on a date some time ago." Lucy brought up, "You said something about this negative energy talking to you and it was causing you to experience headaches."

"That negative energy's called demon energy. When Ultear was fighting them, her unstable leaked demon energy was coming onto them. And with that, the demon energy multiplied and took root inside their bodies. Gramps and Hisui must've talked to them for over two weeks into later fighting them. Or at least survive."

"Like an infected parasite," Gramps adds.

"Exactly. That's the only thing holding the three of you and Mira back. Even though she had that hold, the healing machine here would've only heal her to full strength physically, not mentally."

"I get it now. In a way, you ARE purifying her by ridding the demon energy stored inside of her with her own!" Ultear fully understood it.

"Yep, that's right, Ultear. (Except this time, I'm feeding Mira SSJ God energy.)"

"Hey, I think she's waking up!" Lucy pointed out.

Mirajane blinked once. At a small glance, she saw a blurry version of Goku. Then the second time she blinked; her vision became clear. She opened her eyes to see that she was in Goku's arms and that everyone was present in the room with him. Well, not exactly present. While being in his arms, Mirajane was surprised to see him..

"Goku..." Mirajane said, blushing at the fact that she was in his arms, "What's going on?"

"Mira..." Goku's happiness struck in as he gracefully hugged her, confusing her with the bold act.

"Not that I don't mind receiving a hug from you, Goku, but why is everyone here?" Mirajane continues to blush.

"You were gone for two weeks, Mira. I kinda went crazy over you and just as when I thought there wasn't any way to heal you, there was."

"Heal me? (Oh! That's right! I was struck by Ultear's sword! My hole- - Hold on, it's gone...)" Mirajane was touching her stomach.

"Mira!" everyone shouted her name in support.

As Goku placed Mirajane on her feet, she gets jumped by everyone as they going to welcome her back with a massive group hug. Mirajane was getting crushed by the massive weight getting consumed onto her with Lisanna & Elfman in front. But it dialed down after because soon, Goku & Ultear was going to inform everything that happened to Mirajane. And within fourteen hours, the She-Devil was caught up with the news she missed out of during her two-week hiatus. She took it greatly but was still baffled.

And in doing that, Fairy Tail threw in a celebration party for not only her but also in Makarov, Hisui, and even Ultear's well-being, too. For the first half, everyone was seeing the hungry Saiyan eat like a giant from Mirajane's cooking due to not eating for two weeks straight. It was during that time Cana could've apologized then and there but she didn't want to intrude on Goku's happiness with the She-Devil. So she kept her distances and didn't know for how long though.

For the other half, while the party was still going on, Goku decided to train Natsu, Gray, & Erza again after two weeks. In the Gravity Chamber Room, he thought it'd be right to make up two missing weeks with a technique he was going to teach them. The Kaio-Ken. Truth be told, Goku was going to teach them the Kaio-Ken but it wouldn't be until it was time. He wasn't thinking and thought "now would be the time." And so, he started their training.

He wanted to keep it short and was only because he wanted to be with Mirajane. Today's training was going to be just a demonstration. To Goku, he knew his three students would be able to learn it fast because other than his teachings, they've been hitting the Gravity Room a lot. But that doesn't mean they won't struggle on getting the technique down because they will. In seven hours, this was the results.

Natsu & Gray were tied in only bringing it up to x3. Erza could go beyond that by tapping into x4. They couldn't go beyond their limit and were already informed about what happens if they go over their limit. It can be a good thing to do if there was an opponent they had to overcome. But after that comes the heavy toll in dealing with muscle pain.

As their training continued, Goku decided to use Ultear's offer on being his servant and asked him to cover her in training. She obliged and sparred with the three of them under the gravity they share on. Ultear was able to keep up with them because of the magic she endured from Towa. By undergoing her mind control, the knowledge of emulating Ki & the style of fighting similarly to Goku had hoarded inside of Ultear's mind. And thanks to that her ranking as to where she can keep with Goku would be SSJ level. Higher if she continues to train...

Early Nighttime

Goku's House, the Front Lawn...

The party was still going on inside of Goku's house. Ultear was still training the three students, Elfman & the others were enjoying the food the girls made while Makarov, Macao, & Wakaba were drinking their souls out. Mirajane didn't mind the party in her recovery along with Makarov & the two others, but she needed some alone time.

She was sitting on the grass with her second black dress from after the Grand Magic Games, covering her bottom as she looks up at the sky. The wind blew a breeze that made Mirajane put a few strands of her hair behind her left ear but she didn't mind. It wasn't long until Goku joined in on her alone time...

"Hey, is anyone sitting there?" Goku asked, standing behind her right side as he points with his right index finger.

"No, you can take it. Have a seat, Goku." Mirajane said, offering him a deal he didn't mind taking.

"Thank you!" said Goku, sitting down next to her, "It took me a while to find you. It's so noisy in there I couldn't think to myself. Much less I was having trouble sensing your energy."

"That's our guild for ya. To think I missed out two weeks because of demon energy..." Mirajane said, holding her hands with his, "And the funny thing is, I was taking up that demon energy."

"Really? How?"

"Call me crazy, Goku, but I think it's because of my magic. My Satan Souls have demon essences in them and when they were exposed to them, it kept feeding. In my dream, I did things I didn't know I could do. I shot energy blasts from my hands while in Satan Soul."

"That means you're well aware of energy sensing and Ki overall, right?"

"I guess so."

"Try sensing my energy."

"Oh, I can and I can sense everyone else's too. Ultear's energy the second strongest after you. I'm surprised Erza's not."

"Ultear was with Towa for who knows how long so that might explain why she's literally that strong. Stronger than our guild but me. And maybe Gildarts... Hey, Mira, can I ask you something?"

"Go right ahead."

"Can you do me a favor and learn Ki, please?"

"What's with the sudden demand? Is it because I was out of commission for two weeks?"

"Mira, I felt lost with you. I didn't realize it then but I do now. I've changed so much thanks to Towa's Time Rift that I'm realizing all the dumb things I did in my past. I... like you. I didn't want to lose you and if I hadn't figure out a way to bring you back, I probably would've gone crazy."

"Yeah, I heard. Lisanna & Lucy told me the whole thing. I wish I could've seen it. You going all crazy over my supposed 'death'. It does make me feel happy that you care that much about me."

"I do. Like a lot."

"I like you a lot, too, Goku. But can you tell me why you went on a date with the Fiore Princess, huh?"

"Eh!? What are you talking about?"

"Don't act dumb and answer me, Goku. Actually, you know what? Don't tell me. I probably shouldn't toot my own horn here. Say, do you love me? You said it before that one time and but that was only it..."

"Love you? I mean, I am going to protect you right the time, and I find you to be cherished, yes. Why? What's up?"

Mirajane squeezed their hands together and leaned onto him. Goku felt her weight closing in on him and was blushing. Her scent, her hair, everything that was in front of Mirajane was falling onto him. He felt her warm body onto his and wanted to know where this was leading to...

"I'll do you a favor and train under you to learn about Ki and stuff if you tell me how you feel."

"How I feel? Like..."

"Like as in, do you love me?"

"Love you..." Goku was stuttering.

"I do. Anyone who would starve to death for two weeks just to see me recover is someone I would consider loving in my books. That person would be you."

"Y-You love me!?" Goku steams up.

"It's been hinted here and there but, yeah, I do. So... What's your answer?"

"I, uh, I..." Goku couldn't think. All he could feel was Mirajane leaning on him, "I, uh..."

"If you say you do, I can very much guarantee you how happy I would be, Goku. But you can give me your answer another time. I'd just gotten back from my so-called 'coma'. I don't want to rush things right after the party, you know?"

"Right. But don't worry, Mira. I will give you my answer. I don't know when, but I will!"

"Good!" She smiled, "In the meantime, I guess all I can do, as I wait for an answer, is this." Mirajane leaned up to Goku's face and kissed in on the lips.

"W-Whoa... Mira, that was so... sudden."

"Call it, 'Your Favorite She-Devil's Kiss'. It has a nice ring to it, doesn't it?"

"Yeah," Goku said, smiling this time as he repositioned himself to give her a back hug, with Mirajane in his arms.

"For now, we should conclude our alone time and meet up with the others. I'm sure there are things you have to make up for since you were silent for two weeks."

"Right, right. Okay, then, Mira, let's head back up." Goku said, standing up as he offers his hand to the She-Devil.

But just as when things were going back to normal, something or someone entered the fray and interrupted their love session by appearing in front of them, high in the sky. This person was someone Goku knew of didn't think he would be alive. But he is, and he's back with some modifications from a certain demon scientist...

"I never thought I'd see the day you would fall for a maiden, Kakarot..."

"Huh!?" Goku was quick to sense this person's energy.

Goku & Mirajane turned their attention up above the sky. Mirajane and above all Goku were shocked to the person that was seconds away from calling them out. This man is a Saiyan in battle armor suited for their race. He descended on down slowly to catch a better glimpse at Goku & Mirajane...

"Another Goku?" Mirajane was confused as all hell.

"That can't be... I saw you perish with my Spirit Bomb from a long time ago..." Goku couldn't believe it.

"Long time no see, Kakarot. It's been a while since our last encounter. I see that you're doing well here in this timeline thanks to Towa. I would hate to interrupt a Saiyan with their mistress but I've been ordered to take you out. No hard feelings, right?"

Goku was silent and didn't choose to respond...

"Heh, didn't think so. Say goodbye, you Saiyan traitor..."

End of Chapter 10 (Special)

A/N: Remade of August 3, 2019. This one took me a while to remake considering how this chapter previously had 25k words. But I shortened it to 20k. I have nothing to say so I'll say what this chapter said before...

"Thank you guys for reach 50+ Favs, Follows, & Reviews! It's nice to get some recognition out here! Btw, it may not look like it but I do look at the reviews and I will answer them soon! So if you Ningens got questions, send them down and I'll deliver the questions next chapter!"

Oh wait, now I got something to say. Erza's in the harem and Cana will join in when her chapter with Goku comes (which is Chapter 12). So look forward to that.

Thanks for (re)reading, Ningens!
