The Cooper Gang and Team Natsu
In
Flight of the Coopers
The Cooper Van landed in a base outside of Berlin Germany Circa 1918.
"Whoa so what is this place?" asked Natsu.
"Germany, Circa 1918," Jade said. "We arrived just after the war was officially declared over."
"Which means we can see the fall of the Berlin Wall," Camille added.
"Wrong era Camille," said Kira. "The Berlin wall didn't go up till the end of World War 2. This is the end of World War One."
"Whoops, sorry."
"Well besides that, you think you know where Otto Cooper was?" asked Gray.
"We still have the DNA Tracker that Jade stole from Veronica," said Tori. "If we had some of Otto's DNA we could find him."
"Let's ask around," said Camille, "maybe we can find someone with an item that belongs to him."
So the group asked around for leads on to where Otto Van Cooper was. "Any luck?" asked Kira.
"No," Tori replied, shaking her head.
"I did find a lead to my Ancestor from this time period," said Erza. "She's in Eastleigh in Hampshire, England."
"A shame she can't be here to help," said Camille.
"Fudge," Jade snapped.
"Well we might want to go there," said Kira. "It's our only lead and perhaps Otto Van Cooper might be there."
"Fine. Come on gang."
"How are we supposed to get to England?" Natsu asked.
Jade blinked. "We'll take the van," said Kira.
The others blinked as well. "Huh?"
"I forgot to mention that the Van can also hover above Water. Tori and I updated it before we began our quest."
Jade nodded. "Oh."
The group got into the van as Tori pressed a button that caused it to float. As the group was travelling to England, Erza had decided to read a book. "Now where was I?"
"Right here I think," said Camille.
"Thanks." Erza turned the page and stripped off her clothes while reading.
"You're welcome. Mind if I join you?"
"Sure." Camille striped her clothes off and read as well. Lucy and Michelle had seen this and they could see that the two were only in their underwear.
"I'm beginning to see how close some of the female members of the Cooper Clan were to Erza's Ancestors," said Michelle.
"And how it's starting to show in the current generation," Gray added.
"I wonder if Margaret's done anything crazy yet," said Lucy.
"Let's hope not."
Soon the Cooper Van made it to Hampshire, England and the group minus Erza and Camille began to look around.
"We better ask around if anyone knows where Erza's ancestor is," said Natsu.
"But what if we run into one of my Ancestors?" Seth wondered. "I do come from a long line of men who served at Southampton."
"Maybe they can also help as well," said Jade.
"Let's just look around," Lucy said.
So the team began looking around for a lead as to where Erza's ancestor was and this time they found a lead and to the team's surprise it was a Summer House. "This is the place," said Michelle.
"It's quaint, a lot different than the manors we found Ezra's ancestors in."
"Let's go knock on the door," Benjamin said.
They walked up to the door and knocked as it opened revealing Erza's ancestor, however dressed in a simple sundress. "Hello ladies and Gentlemen," said a voice. "I'm Lady Angela."
"Nice to meet you Miss Angela," Tori said.
"You're welcome but who are all of you people?"
"I am Camille Cooper," she said.
"Wait, are you related to Otto Cooper?"
"Something like that."
"I'm Natsu Dragneel," he said.
"I'm Jade Chan," said Jade.
"Lucy Heartfilia," Lucy said.
"Benjamin Spong," said Benjamin.
"Seth Hobbs," he said.
"Michelle Bennett," said Michelle.
"Kira Allcroft," said Kira.
"Victoria "Tori" Wright," added Tori.
"And mine's Erza, your descendant," she said.
"Well come give your ancestor a hug, Erza," said Angela. Erza did so and melted at the human contact with family by blood.
"Good thing Erza and I got dressed before we came here," said Camille.
"No kidding," added Gray.
"And who might you be?" asked Angela to him.
"Gray Fullbuster, ma'am."
"You seem like a nice young man. So why are you all here?"
"We need your help to find Otto Cooper," Camille said.
"I may know where he is."
"Tell us please."
"He is in the manor right now. However he lost the propellers for his plane to some thug called Muggshot."
"Muggshot! My dad told me about him, he is a real thug and muscle man."
"I take it there's more to it," Jade mused.
"He's like a mobster and I worry what he may do with Otto's plans."
"More to the point who is Otto Van Cooper?" asked Mirajane.
"He wasn't the more hands on physical thief, but he is a brilliant inventor and made planes."
"And Muggshot has those plans and the Propellers Otto used for his plane," said Tori.
"My guess is that he handed them to Le Paradox by now," said Kira.
"But the question is what is he gonna use the plans for?" asked Jade.
"I don't know but we better steal them back," said Mira.
"And my ancestor's plans were for gun turrets," Camille noted.
"Why would a gangster mob leader need gun turrets?" asked Lucy.
-OOO-
"Le Paradox, tell me again why you wanted Otto's Gun Turret Plans?" asked Muggshot at his base. "I understand the propellers for his Plane but why his Gun Turret plans?"
"Because for the thousandth time you dumb thug, the turrets are beneficial for when we take over earth land and Sodor."
"I get it somewhat but why set up shop on the London and South Western?"
"Because by setting up shop here we'll have access to the workshops."
"Yeah, yeah in order to make your big fancy schmancy weapons for that big blimp of yours."
"At least you got that part right. Now about the Propellers for Otto's Plane?"
"Yeah, yeah, I will give you them when you come here, don't need to lose your pants over it." Muggshot gestured to a pair of propellers on the table
"Even without the thieving skills of his ancestors, I won't deny Otto was a genius mechanic."
"Good point. Either way I got work to do." Muggshot went to do his job.
-OOO-
Meanwhile, back at the Manor the team were discussing what to do next.
"We need to get those propellers back," said Camille.
"Before he hands them off to Le Paradox and if he does he'll be coming after your cane Camille," said Erza.
"But to do that he'll need to go to the present day," said Natsu.
"Then it looks like that is where the last confrontation is coming to," said Benjamin.
"Which means I get to meet my cousin Maggie and my relatives of the present day," said Erza.
"Want me to get data?" asked Camille.
A voice. "If you are going out then let me help."
The group turned to see a man wearing WW1 Pilot's clothing who resembled Camille's father.
"Otto Cooper!" Camille exclaimed.
"I overheard what you were talking about and I may lack the strengths as my ancestors, I can guide you to where this thug Muggshot is."
"Lead the way Otto," said Michelle.
Otto guided the group to what looked like warehouses. Kira and Tori were in shock as were Seth and Michelle as they knew where they were.
"This is the Eastleigh Works," said Seth.
"The what?" asked Camille.
"The Birth place of Robert Urie's H15s," said Angela. "They were the first locomotives he created since he became Chief Mechanical Engineer of the London and South Western Railway."
"Woah," the others said.
"It's impressive but that is also where that thug who stole my propellers and plans is taking residence," Otto said.
Angela was livid. "He what? I'll tear him apart!" Angela's fists ignited with flames as she looked ready to burn Muggshot.
Gray and Natsu's eyebrows were raised. "Whoa."
"She is definitely your relative, Erza," said Camille.
"And Maggie's ancestor no less," said Michelle. "I'm starting to see where she gets her fierce temper from."
"What's that supposed to mean?" Erza asked.
"We'll tell you when we get to the present day," said Camille. "Right now we gotta stop Muggshot."
The group observed the warehouse and saw turrets. "What has he done to the workshop?" Angela asked.
"Obviously made it into a fortress," said Kira.
"And probably improved Locomotive Production in the process," said Tori. "Either way we gotta bring him in."
"I'm going in to get some information, don't be caught," said Camille.
"Relax," Jade replied, "We won't."
Camille then snuck around taking photos of the assembly line, the few complete works and Mugshot himself and Otto's propellers. "Kira, Tori are you getting this?" asked Camille via the Binocucom.
"Clear as crystal," Kira said.
"Now's the chance to grab the Propellers and defeat Muggshot," Tori said.
"Hold on I can grab the propellers, but we need to be smart with Mugshot, he may be dumb but according to dad he is tough, really tough, we need to use tricks and alternate ways to stop him," said Camille.
"Perhaps I can help," Angela said.
"Really, how can you help?"
"As Nova's vessel I can cause strong sunlight to appear and burn Muggshot."
"Let's try to not get arrested for murder, but we can blind Muggshot if need be."
"I can live with that but how did your father beat him the first time?"
"He redirected light from a chandelier and on him."
"Perhaps we can do something similar in this case."
Camille nodded as she looked at her friends "I need you guys to set up mirrors, I have a plan."
"Consider it done, Camille," said Mirajane.
"I'll signal you when we lure him here."
"You got it," said Michelle.
Camille and Angela went to face Muggshot who was currently walking about like he owned the place. "Hey ape breath was your mama by any chance a gorilla?" Camille shouted.
"What? Nobody insults my ma and gets away with that!" he exclaimed.
"Catch us if you can," Angela said. Camille and Angela bolted for it with Mugshot following behind.
"Watch my signal," Camille said.
"I got it."
"Now aim for the mirrors."
Angela used her power to send strong sunlight to the mirrors. When the mirrors struck Mugshot it damaged him and his guns.
"My beautiful guns are destroyed. Good thing I got spares upstairs," Muggshot said.
"That's exactly what you said when you fought my father," Camille replied.
"Mouthy little brat, how bout a stronger guns to stop those mirrors?"
"Up yours you piece of shit!" Mugshot just growled and fired. Camille dodged and spun the mirrors to reflect the sunlight upon them. "Ready for a second round of this!" Angela let the sunlight hit Muggshot a second time damaging him and destroying his guns yet again.
"Ok that's it, it's time to go for drastic actions," Muggshot said. He jumped up and got into a tank "Hahaah, hows this for drastic you two sissy girls?"
"I'd say you're the pathetic wuss, right Angela?" Camille asked.
"You got that right Camille." That got Mugshot riled up and started firing around with the turret.
"You call that shooting Muggshot?" Camille taunted. "My Ancestor has better aim than you."
"Why you stupid brat!" Muggshot then shot at some debris blasting it away and causing some very strong sunlight to hit a mirror which powered up Angela allowing her to destroy the tank and knock Muggshot out cold.
"We did it together!" Camille said.
"Now let's get this thug back to your time." Soon Mugshot was back to the present and jailed
"Now we gotta get back to the Present. It's time to deal with Le Paradox once and for all!"
"I hate to think what's happened while we were gone," Jade said.
"At least we were able to keep Le Paradox away from Otto's propellers," said Benjamin.
"And thanks to Camille's magic we restored the workshop to the way it was before Muggshot took over," Seth said.
"I wish Otto and I could come help you guys further," Angela replied.
"We may need you both to help us but for now let's get back to the future," said Tori.
The team got in the Cooper Van and headed back to the Present Day to stop Le Paradox once and for all.
