Chapter 9 - Getting Wendy

The next morning, Lucy looks out the window of her apartment and says, "Huh? What's going on?" "Why is there a regiment of soldiers outside my house at the break of dawn?!"

Lucy then hears Natsu, with Happy and Erza right next to him, say, "They sniffed us out already?"

"Aye!"

Natsu then grabs Lucy's hand and starts running, saying, "Let's go, Lucy!"

"What did you do?!"

Natsu and Erza then charge and leap out of the building through the wall, with Natsu carrying Lucy bridal style.

"Why are me running away?!"

"Put her down Natsu." Erza suddenly says.

Natsu then sets Lucy down and they all start running away now.

"What did you do, Natsu?!"

"We sent a signal fire announcing the rebirth of Fairy Tail!" Natsu and Erza exclaim in unison, with wide smiles on both of their faces.

Natsu started, "We put up a great big sign…"

"...somewhere it's gonna get lots of attention!" Erza finished.

The words 'Fairy Tail' are burned into the front of the palace, with 'Fairy' being in orange flames and 'Tail' being in white.

Happy says, "Don't worry! It's the type of fire that goes out pretty quickly!"

"I don't think that's the problem!" Lucy exclaims, "How you know we can even…"

"We can do it! I have faith! And so do you, right?!" Natsu exclaims.

Natsu starts, "We're gonna find everyone…"

"...and start up the guild again!" Erza finishes with a bright smile on her face.

"You comin'?" Natsu and Erza inquire.

"Yeah!" Lucy exclaims.

At Lamia Scale, on Thanksgiving Day, there is currently a celebration.

"First, we have our ace at Lamia Scale!" Yuka, a blue-haired mage, starts, "Observe as Lyon dazzles you with ice Magic!"

A few minutes later…

"A-and now for the moment you've all been waiting for! The angels of our guild!"

"The Sky Sister! Sherria and Wendy!"

Natsu, Happy, and Erza are taken completely by surprise at this development.

"You knew that Wendy and Sherria were good friends, right?" Lucy inquires.

"She's hardly the only one who joined a new guild. I mean… everybody needs to work, right?" Lucy questions.

"Why couldn't she have done random jobs for the Magic Council like us, then?" Natsu questions.

"YOU DID WHAT?!" Lucy exclaims.

"How do you think we got enough popularity to be nominated for the Wizard Saint Trials?" Erza questions.

"Ok… I suppose that makes sense." Lucy states.

Someone walks up behind the group and says, "I imagined you'd turn up sooner or later. Natsu, Erza, Lucy… and… Male cat… Ah, I do apologize. Happy!"

"Bwa?" Natsu, Erza, Lucy, and Happy say in unison.

Inside the Lamia Scale Guild

"I am never doing something that embarrassing again!" Wendy exclaims.

"You were sooo cute! Everyone LOVED you, Wendy!" Sherria exclaims.

Lyon then walks in and says, "Wendy, you have visitors."

"Hm?"

Wendy turns to see Natsu, Erza, Lucy, and Happy.

"Yo!" Natsu says.

"How are you Wendy?" Erza inquires.

"Long time no see!" Lucy exclaims.

"How've you been Wendy?" Happy questions.

"Natsu! Erza!" Wendy exclaims, "And Lucy and Happy, too!"

"You've grown a little?" Natsu and Erza question in unison.

"Is that right?" Natsu and Erza say in unison once again.

"Alright, what's with you saying so many things in unison?!" Lucy exclaims.

"Well, we've seen each other every single day for an entire year…" Natsu starts.

"...And we're engaged." Erza finishes.

"YOU'RE GETTING MARRIED?!" Wendy exclaims.

"Yep." Natsu and Erza state in unison.

A few minutes later…

"You're reviving… Fairy Tail?" Wendy questions, "You want to get everyone together again?"

"Yeah… The master's been missing this whole year… and I'm pretty sure that it has something to do with why we disbanded." Lucy states.

Lyon then says, "I've heard the Council had a problem with Master Makarov, too.'

"We know." Natsu and Erza state.

"How do you know that?!" Toby exclaims.

"Because we could have been on the council if we wanted to." Erza explains.

"But… isn't the new council made up of Wizard Saints?" Wendy questions.

"Yes." Erza states.

"Then how could you have been on the council?" Wendy inquires.

"You mean you didn't hear?" Natsu inquires.

Wendy and Toby shake their heads.

"Oh, alright…" Natsu says and takes out his Wizard Saint badge. "We're the top 2 Gods of Ishgar."

"YOU'RE WHAT?!" Wendy exclaims rather loudly.

"We're Gods of Ishgar." Erza states, also taking out her Wizard Saint badge.

"How did you get away with not being on the Council?" Lyon inquires.

"Well…" Erza starts, "There are 2 reasons. The first one is because of how overwhelmingly powerful we are."

"Ok." Lyon states. "And the second?"

"The second is forbidden for anyone who isn't a Wizard Saint to know." Natsu finishes.

"Anyway, enough about him.. " Natsu starts, "You gotta come with us, Wendy!"

"U-Um…" Wendy starts, "I'm a member of Lamia Scale now. I'm afraid I can't go with you, Natsu."

"Why?" Natsu and Erza question.

"Don't hold back on our account." Lyon states, "We knew this day might come."

"Can you at least tell us why?" Natsu inquires.

"Wendy has made her decision." The mysterious woman from before states.

"Carla…" Wendy says, revealing the woman to be Carla.

Natsu, Erza, Lucy, and Happy gape at her form, causing her to say, "Oh, this? It's a bit of transformation magic… I learned how to do it. In this form, I have a little more magic, and my powers of premonition are stronger."

A few hours later, at Wendy and Sherria's home

"Hey, Wendy… About today…" Sherria starts.

"Yeah?" Wendy inquires, "Don't worry, I'm not going anywhere! Sherry left to get married… So if I went too, that would leave you all alone, Sherria!"

"I wouldn't be alone." Sherria states.

"Huh?"

"I have everyone at Lamia Scale… all the friends at the guild I LOVE! And if you're just staying out of pity… that doesn't really seem like friendship."

Suddenly, an explosion rings out. "BOOOM!"

"What was that noise?!" Carla exclaims.

"It came from over there! The guild!" Wendy exclaims.

Back at the guild

"Get the town evacuated, now!" Lyon exclaims.

Natsu, Erza, and Lucy arrive with Natsu shouting, "What the heck is going on here?!"

Suddenly, a monster appears ready to attack everyone, but before it gets the chance, Lyon freezes it in it's tracks.

"You see that monster? A herd of them suddenly attacked the town!"

"A herd of monsters?!" Natsu exclaims.

"Why?!" Erza exclaims.

"There's another guild, Orochi's Fin, that we've been on bad terms with for, like, forever!" Sherria exclaims.

"Rivals?!" Lucy exclaims.

"But Orochi has really sunk to new depths if they're using monsters to attack!" Sherria exclaims.

"They've probably been looking for an opportunity ever since Jura left…" Wendy states.

Carla continues, "And they knew our guard would be down because of the Thanksgiving Day festival…"

"Those creeps…" Lyon says.

"Lyon! This is just the vanguard! There's a gigantic hoard of them coming in from the west!"

"Like, a hundred thousand of 'em!"

"A hundred thousand…?!" Lucy exclaims.

"They could destroy the entire town!" Lyon exclaims.

"I never thought Orochi would ever go this far!"

"It seems there's a 'beast master' in Orochi"

"So if we take him out…" Lyon starts.

"We can't get close enough with all the monsters blocking the way." Yuka states.

"What about from the sky?" Natsu questions.

"Yes!" Wendy exclaims.

"You'll lend us a hand?" Lyon questions.

"Yeah!" Natsu and Erza exclaim in unison.

"I"m all fired up! Let's go, Happy!"

"Aye, sir!"

"Sorry, Natsu!" Sherria exclaims.

"Sherria!" Wendy exclaims.

"Huh?" Happy questions.

"Please, Happy, just take me there!" Sherria exclaims.

"A-Aye?" Happy says.

"We're going to save Lamia Scale!" Sherria exclaims.

"Right!" Wendy exclaims.

"Happy's been cat-napped…" Natsu states.

"Natsu, did you forget about me?" Erza questions in a scary tone.

"S-Sorry!" Natsu starts, "It was just the heat of the moment!"

A minute later…

"Alright then, let's head over there!" Erza exclaims.

"Right!" Natsu exclaims.

"Fire Gear!" Erza exclaims and is engulfed in white flames.

"Fire Drive!" Natsu exclaims as his own body is engulfed in bright red flames.

"Let me go first, Natsu." Erza states.

"Alright." Natsu says.

"The horde of monsters is about to enter the town!"

"How many of them are there?!"

"We'll hold them off here!" Lyon exclaims.

"Right!" Lucy states.

Erza then suddenly steps up and says, "STep back and let me take care of a bunch of them real quick."

"Alright." Lyon states and promptly steps back.

Erza then starts walking up to the monsters, which quickly changes into a run, and her fist light up in white fire. Once she is about to reach the monsters, she pulls her fist back, and then shouts, "Fire Titan Queen's Resounding Titanic Fist!", punching them with a massive force, and disintegrating hundreds of them in the process.

"I'm amazed."

"She's the biggest monster of 'em all!"

"What was that magic?!" Lucy exclaims.

Natsu then goes in charging after her.

Meanwhile, on the battlefield

As an attack approaches her, Wendy says, "Watch out, Sherria!" WHile dodging.

"Time for me yet?" a mysterious man inquires.

"No… No need. They hardly pose a threat."

"You okay?" Wendy inquires.

"Sorry!" Sherria exclaims.

"I remember that little girl." the mysterious man states.

"S-Sir…"

"I wonder, can she fly?"

Suddenly, the ground crashes down upon itself, causing everyone to crash down to the ground as well.

"What is this?!" Carla exclaims.

"The ground is…" Happy starts.

"It's Blue Note Stinger!" Carla exclaims.

"There is no one who can move under my gravity." The man now identified as Blue Note Stinger states.

"Sir! You're overdoing it!"

"Why is he here…?!" Happy inquires.

Natsu and Erza then arrive on the battlefield, with Natsu picking up Sherria and saying, "Got you!"

"Natsu!" Happy and Wendy both exclaim.

"Wait, he…"

"How is he doing that…?!"

"That man is here! The one who overwhelmed us on Tenrou Island…" Wendy states.

"Blue Note!" Happy exclaims.

"Huh?" Natsu starts, "Doesn't ring a bell."

"Natsu," Erza deadpans, "He's Grimoire Heart's Deputy Commander!"

'I remember him!' Bluenote thinks, 'He was just a small fry!'

Bluenote then leaps towards the battlefield and slams the full force of his magic down, saying, "I'll crush you!"

Natsu and Erza then slam their fists into the ground, with Natsu, saying, "Nobody's gettin' crushed!"

"They're using fire…"

"...to lift up the ground!"

"That's impossible!"

"Fairy Tail will never be crushed!" Natsu and Erza exclaim in unison. "SO DON'T EVEN TRY TO CRUSH US!"

"Fire Dragon King's…"

"Fire Titan Queen's…"

"Resounding Iron Fist!"

"Resounding Titanic Fist!"

Natsu and Erza exclaim and punch the air, causing it to catch on fire and severely burn Bluenote, soundly defeating him.

Back at the guild

"Then all the monsters just up and left." Yuka states.

"You were a big help." Lyon says.

"I'm glad." Lucy says.

Up on a hill with Wendy, Sherria says, "So much for my plan…"

"Huh? What plan?" Wendy inquires.

"I wanted to show you that I could do just fine on my own." Sherria states, "But Natsu and Erza blew the whole thing to pieces."

"That's our Natsu." Wendy starts, "But the Erza part is new."

"Wendy, you really should go with Natsu and Erza." Sherria says.

"Huh?"

"If you don't go you'll regret it." Sherria states, "Remember what Natsu and Erza said? Fairy Tail could never be crushed."

"And because I LOVE you, Wendy…" Sherria starts, "...I know that your LOVE for Fairy Tail is what's made you who you are today."

"I…"

"Be true to your heart, Wendy." Sherria says, "We'll still be friends, even if we aren't in the same guild anymore."

"Sherria." "You'll always be my friend."

"You, too!"

The Next Day

"Thank you so much for everything you've done for me!"

"Take care, Wendy."

"I suppose I owe you my gratitude as well."

"Carla…"

"I really don't know what to say…" Wendy starts, "I'm sorry that… I've been so selfish…"

"Don't apologize. This was always our agreement." Lyon states.

"Is that right?!" Natsu exclaims.

"Yeah, I made sure they knew that we'd only be staying until Fairy Tail was revived." Carla states.

"But…" Wendy starts.

"That's enough of that. Chin up!" Carla exclaims.

"Good luck getting Fairy Tail back together!"

"Right!"

"Say hi to Gray for me!"

"Oh, yeah… I lost track of him somewhere along the way."

"Take care!"

"Look after yourself, Wendy!" Sherria exclaims.

"I will! You too, Sherria!" Wendy exclaims.

And thus, the journey to bring Fairy Tail back together has officially began. With, Natsu, Erza, Happy, Lucy, Wendy, and Carla already with them, Juvia and Gray are the next stop along the way to bringing Fairy Tail back together again.
