Well this here is chapter 12. I hope everybody enjoyed my story so far. Hard to believe I'm almost at 80,000 words lol. Anyway I don't own Gears of War or Fairy Tail. Oh fair warning ill probably skip some of the eisenwald stuff. For sure Galuna Island. I mean everybody knows what happens there. They get to fight a dead demon and Lyon turns out fine anyway. Oh yeah...some multiverse stuff in this chapter. Now to answer any future questions these will be seen only once. So if you expect these other universes to show up later in the story, it wont happen.

Chapter 12: Before the Storm


Earthland...two days later.

Levy was sitting with Hibiki in the Blue Pegasus headquarters trying to find a way to make a stable portal. The room they were in was primarily the library of the guild. Luckily, most of the Pegasus members were busy with their clients as the two were left alone with only an occasional visit by Ichiya. Once Ichiya had informed the guild of the events that transpired at Fairy Tail, Hibiki had immediately volunteered to help. He couldn't help but be impressed by what Levy had built. Plus, the fact that she kept making improvements to the IVD was truly ingenious. The newest addition was a small screen with two lines of numbers. This was accompanied by a keyboard to its right. The top line of numbers in blue read 137-C while the bottom read 942-F in a deep red. Hibiki was studying the read-out before turning to Levy.

"So Levy, what do these numbers mean?" he asked while leaning in close to the device.

"Ah, those are the universe numbers. The top one in blue is ours, while the bottom one is the universe of Sera." she replied while looking over some physics books.

"So theoretically, we could see other universes right? Not just the one of Sera?"

"I suppose we could, but we're supposed to be finding a solution to the portal problem."

"Well maybe there's a Levy in another universe that already found the solution?" he suggested.

Levy looked at him with a questioning look before speaking. "You just wanna see other universes, don't you?"

"...Yeah."

'sigh' "Alright, but only five universes, and no communication. This is strictly observation. After that we are buckling down and hitting these books no more distractions. Understood?" as she came over and gave a withering glare to show she meant business.

"Yes Ma'am!"

Levy gave a quick nod before approaching her invention. Hibiki stepped aside while Levy cleared the bottom line before entering some new numbers. It now read 622-A.
"Alright, lets see whats happening." she said as the IVD powered up. They were soon greeted with the sight of what appeared to be a high-tech city under attack from unknown creatures. In the distance, a giant squid-like ship had landed and was firing beams or red killing light. The view centered on a red-haired woman firing a rifle that shot bolts of light. The two observers could her her yelling over a radio. "This is Shepard, I'm close to the main reaper ship. If anybody can hear me I need some back up!"

The image shut off as Levy cleared the numbers. "Um...lets try a different one."

"Yeah...that looked like an alien invasion or something."

"Ok. How about 212-H?" she replied while inputting the new numbers. Once again, they were treated with a new universe. It appeared to be an 11 year old boy with spiky golden hair shooting a beam of light at some green, bug-like creature. The creature had responded in kind before it spoke.

"HAHAHAHAHA! My my Gohan, I bet this makes all those wounds...burn!" taunted the creature as the boy was pushed to one knee. The two mages watched in silence at the struggle before, by some miracle, the boy rallied.

"Its over CELL!" the boy screamed before vaporizing his opponent. Levy quickly shut off the image before looking over at Hibiki.

"Holy Fuck! Those two had some serious power...I think it would've fed back into the IVD if I hadn't shut it down."

"Yeah, no joke. I think they were shaking that planet. Maybe I should choose the next one?" he replied.

"Be my guest, just give me the numbers." responded Levy as she stood ready.

"Hmmm. How about 317-S?"

"Alright, maybe you'll have more luck than me." she chuckled before they were transported once again. This time they saw a group of people led by a man in a sheriffs uniform. Said man was firing at what appeared to be walking corpses as the others got in some beat-up vehicles.

"Yo Rick! Get your ass in here or your walker chow!" yelled a man with a crossbow slung on his back. The two watched long enough just to make sure the man joined his comrades before turning it off.

"Holy crap...I think those were zombies...like actually living dead, eat your flesh zombies." said Hibiki with worried eyes.

"Yeah...wasn't expecting that, but it is the multiverse. Anything can happen. How about we make this the last one?"

"Sure...lets try 701-K"

"Alright...fourth times the charm right?" she joked while the IVD powered up once again. They were soon presented with the image of three men in a black car driving down the road. It sounded like music was playing from the car as the two men in front talked back and forth. The one in back was silent though as he fiddled with his long, tan trench coat.

"Well, this universe seems normal enough." said Levy as they both watched. However, as soon as she uttered words, the man in back immediately turned his attention to her.

"Sam, Dean. We're being watched."

"Whatcha talking about Cas? We're in the middle of nowhere right now." replied the man driving.

"Trust me, somebody is watching us. I suggest stopping the car."

"Do you think you can find them, Cas?" asked the other man.

"Yes..." he responded as his eyes turned a holy blue.

Levy was the first to speak. "How do you think he knows we're watching him? Its just on observation only?" she asked Hibiki. Before she could continue, she found herself falling and landing on a hard surface.

"Owww. what the hell was that?" she muttered before opening her eyes. She was shocked speechless as the the three men were gathered around her, pointing weapons at her body. The one with the short-crew cut spoke first.

"Cas here says you were spying on us, care to tell us why?" he said while cocking back the hammer of his gun for emphasis.

"Whoa whoa whoa. No need for weapons guys! I'm not even armed!"

"So? You could be shifter, a leviathan, or some sort of other monster ready to rip us to pieces. So I'll give you one more chance to answer, because Cas here doesn't pull strange blue-haired girls from out of thin air for nothing." he replied while his scowl got deeper.

"Okay! My names Levy McGarden. I've been trying to make a portal to bring a man i consider family back to my universe. I was observing a few others to see if any could help with my research. Sadly, yours is the friendliest universe I've seen so far." she explained while staying completely still. That was when the shaggy haired man spoke up.

"Wait, other universes? You saw more than one?"

"Yeah...zombies...super-powered beings fighting for the fate of a planet...and an alien invasion." she saw the surprised looks on the men's faces before she continued. "Look, I didn't mean to alarm you, I just wanted some help getting Natsu and Erza home from that genocidal war. If I can build a connecting portal, I can finally bring them home...He's been stuck there for 5 years now." she finished before looking at them with pleading eyes.

"Shit..." muttered the first man as he lowered his gun. Looking over at Cas, he spoke. "Think you can help her out Cas? Maybe impart some physics or something? Seems to me she's just trying to help her family out when she stumbled onto us."

"Well...I can try." said the trench coat man as he approached Levy. Pressing two fingers to her forehead, a pure, white light engulfed Levy before she found herself back in the library. Hibiki was there, staring wide-eyed at her before promptly passing out.

That's when the flood of knowledge came. Everything she needed to know was right there at her fingertips. All she needed now was time. Ignoring the passed out mage, Levy quickly sat down at her pile or research notes. "God damn, what a weird day..." she muttered while writing down formulas.


Universe 701-K

"So Cas, what'd you do?" asked Dean while leaning against the Impala.

"I sent her home with the knowledge she needed...the girl has suffered as well, but has a kind soul. I could feel it."

"Hell of a thing. Going to grab groceries, and we meet a girl from another universe." he shook his head before climbing back in the Impala. He was soon joined by Sam and Cas before the three headed down the road.


Fairy Tail

Cana was sitting in the guild hall nursing a drink in her hands. It was the middle of the day and almost nobody was here. Laxus and the thunder legion had headed out yesterday for a week long job. Levy had headed out to Blue Pegasus to do some research with some of their members. Finally Lucy, Grey, Mira, Juvia, and Happy had been sent by master Makarov to go investigate rumors of the dark guild 'Eisenwald.' In fact, the only members in the hall besides herself was Lisanna, Elfman and a few other minor members.

"Man, it sure is quite today." muttered Cana as she leaned back against the bar before taking a pull from her beer.

"Yeah, no joke. This is very unmanly!" said Elfman from further down the bar near his sister.

"You know, brother. You don't half to say everything is manly or unmanly all the time." responded Lisanna as she wiped down the bar.

"But that's not manly!" he exclaimed while Lisanna and Cana let out a sigh.

"You know, he's never gonna stop Lis..." stated Cana as she took another swig of beer. Deciding to change the subject, she spoke up once more. "Kinda crazy how people reacted to the news about Natsu and Erza in the Seran universe." as she looked at the two siblings.

"Yeah, I thought people were gonna be rioting and panicking in the streets, but for the most part people seem to have found him and the others over there to be heroes."

"You know Lis...He probably doesn't see it that way..." Cana was interrupted as a strange spark of light seemed to grow in the middle of the guild hall. It continued to grow before forming a window in mid-air.

"Fuck yeah, it actually worked! What did I tell you Baird? You owe me twenty bucks!" exclaimed Natsu as his image appeared along with a blonde haired man wearing some blue welding goggles.

"Yeah yeah, you think your so fucking smart don't you. Just remember I taught you everything you know." he said with a smirk before looking at the three mages. "Oh hey, looks like some of your friends are here kid."

"Natsu? How are you doing this? Levy took her IVD to Blue Pegasus for a few days." asked Cana as the three gathered in front of the window.

"Yeah...I kinda built my own in my down time." replied Natsu as he let out a smug grin.

"Hey, I helped you build the damn thing!" stated Baird as he crossed his arms.

"Anyway Cana, I thought I'd surprise everybody. Although it looks like everybody is gone for the day." muttered Natsu as he looked around the hall.

"Yeah...anyways kid. I gotta go meet up with the rest of 'Delta' for a bit so i'll leave you to it." said Baird as he stood up and walked out of the room.

Silence reigned for a few moments before Elfman spoke up. "You know Natsu, your famous here now."

"Huh?"

"Yeah man, Jason from 'Sorcerers Weekly' recorded the whole thing a few days ago. People here think you a damn hero."

"That's cool I guess, but that isn't why I fight. You know I don't give a shit about fame." he stopped while Elfman nodded his head in understanding before Natsu went on. "When I got this working, I wanted to let everybody know what's going to happen in two days. But since everybody is gone, you three need to carry the message." Natsu replied before looking at the three mages.

"Alright Natsu, whats your message?" asked Lisanna as she stood by her brother.

"Well first of all, I need to make sure nobody contacts me tonight."

"Really? Why's that?"

"Well I can't be positive, but I think Erza is planning something."

"So? Whats wrong with that?" questioned Elfman.

"Elfman, you know what fucking is right? Well I think Erza is planning on ambushing me sometime today."

The three mages blushed as Natsu's direct approach to the issue before Cana cleared her throat and spoke up.

"Why would you need to tell us about that? Wouldn't you be happy about that happening?"

"Of course I would be!" he yelled before continuing on. "I just don't want the whole damn guild to watch it happen."

"Yeah...I can see how that would be a problem." as she let out a small chuckle. "Anyway, whats the second reason?" she asked.

"Operation Hollowstorm is starting in two days...Its gonna be bloody. If you wanna still watch, I can't stop you. But be warned that this will be a massive assault against the locust."

"Oh...Okay. We'll let everybody know. Stay safe Natsu." replied Lisanna as Natsu gave a small nod and disappeared from view.

"God damn, another fight? That barricade battle happened only a few days ago...When will he be able to just come home?" questioned Lisanna as the let a few tears drop.

"I dunno sis, but I'm sure Levy is working on something right now."

"I know...but I can't help but worry. Another battle for Natsu and Erza...plus Mira is out fighting a dark guild...I just want everybody to be safe." she finished while wrapping her arms around her brother in a big hug.


The forest outside of Clover Town...

Lucy stood on shaky legs as the forest burned around her. Darkening embers and smoke billowed on the air as she tried catching her breath. The latest attack had left her ears ringing as she wobbled on uneasy feet. Looking around, Mira, Grey, and Juvia were standing in various places in the large clearing as they all glared at their opponent. They were all covered in bruises and bleeding cuts. The four of them had been fighting Lullaby, one of the demons or Zeref for close to an hour now.

"Oh your souls will be delicious!" the demon bellowed before unleashing a blast of energy from its mouth. The beam was heading straight for Lucy as she stood frozen in fear.

"Why can't I move? I need to move! But this battle has taken its toll on all of us..." she thought as the blast drew closer. The blonde celestial mage could've sworn she heard someone yelling

Grey was running toward Lucy as the blast drew closer. "LUCY! You need to move!" he shouted before taking a flying leap at her frozen form. Lucy let out a loud 'Ooooff' as the ice mage collided with her just in time. The blast wave passed over the two as it headed toward Clover Town in the distance. Moments later, screams could be heard as the blast detonated, reducing a whole neighborhood to nothing but ruins and broken bodies.

"You'll pay for that demon!" screamed Mira as she charged up another magical blast before launching into the air.

"Juvia agrees. The foul demon must pay! Water slicer!" the water mage bellowed before launching a simultaneous attack with Mira, causing the massive demon to stagger backwards. These are the sounds that finally got Lucy to focus as she came to her senses. "Why do I feel so heavy?" the thought crossed her mind before she finally opened her eyes. Grey had landed on top of Lucy, pinning her to the ground. His form was un-moving as Lucy gathered her wits before speaking.

"Grey...you saved me."

Silence.

"Grey?" she questioned while crawling out from underneath her comrade. When Lucy finally stood up and looked at her friend, all she could see was the long burn across Grey's back. It ran diagonal, from the back of his upper right shoulder to the back of his left waist. The wound looked horrible, with some areas exposing pure muscle among all the blood. Bending down, she noticed the shallow breathing of the ice mage. The wounding of her friend, the deaths of so many people by these dark mages...For the first time, Lucy was filled with a burning rage at what these monsters had done. It was during this rage filled moment that Lucy finally thought of a way to defeat the monster.

"Mira! Juvia! I have an idea, but I need you to hold off on magic attacks until I finish mine!"

"Fine Lucy! Just make sure not to take to long!" replied Mira with a shout as she let a powerful kick land on Lullaby's face. Juvia was purely on the defensive as her shallow breathing betrayed her exhaustion.

"Juvia has enough magic left to launch one more attack. Make sure you don't miss Lucy."

"Don't worry, I wont." she stated before grabbing a key off of her belt. "Open! Gate of the Maiden. Virgo!" commanded Lucy as a bright light appeared beside her. A pink haired woman in a maid's outfit soon appeared.

"What do you require, Princess?"

"Virgo! Can you dig your way through that demon?" asked Lucy as she pointed at said monster.

"Of course, but it will consume the remainder of your magical power to do so."

Lucy paused for just a moment before uttering two words.

"Do it."

"As you wish, princess." the spirit said before plunging underground. She emerged moments later, drilling a gaping hole through the foot of the demon. However, Virgo didn't stop there before plunging into the main body. Soon, multiple holes stated to appear over Lullaby's body.

"Not you guys! Hit those gaping holes with everything you got!" shouted Lucy as she gasped for breath. "Damn, Virgo wasn't kidding when she said all of my magic power..." these thoughts raced through her mind as her two friends powered up with everything they had.

"Raging Tsunami!" Juvia said loudly as she brought any free water in the area under her command, creating a massive wall of water behind her.

"Satanic Blast" Mira said coldly as a magic circle appeared under the demon.

Virgo had already cleared the area as the two women unleashed all they had at the demon. The wave of water crashed into the demon with the force of and actual tidal wave while Mira's blast shot up into the sky in a pillar of dark light. The last thing Lucy saw before passing out was the sight of the demon slowly disintegrating as the magic tore it's body apart.


Jacincto..

Natsu had barely shut off his newly built IVD before he was tackled to the ground. Going into full combat mode, he managed to out wrestle the attacker before pinning them to the ground. Looking down at their form, he observed a female body with scarlet, red hair.

"God damn it Erza, just what the hell were you thinking jumping me like that?" he muttered before climbing off of her. After standing up, he leaned down to offer a hand. Erza clasped on before Natsu pulled her up.

"Will you relax? I was just trying to have a little fun with you." she said jokingly.

"Funny way of doing it." he muttered before he continued on "Besides, It looks like I won."

He walked away from Erza, picking up a few tools as he went. Placing them on his workbench, he turned to Erza.

"Well, I think I'll take a nap or something. Finally got around to setting up a mattress in the storage closet." he mentioned before heading to the back. Erza watched his retreating form before he disappeared around the corner.

"I have to make my move now...I might not get another chance" she thought to herself before steeling her resolve.

Natsu had just down on his bed before the door burst open with Erza charging in.

"Natsu! I will not wait any longer!" she declared before marching over and straddling his lap. Not giving him a chance to respond, she pressed her lips to his in passion. They kept kissing before Natsu broke away.

"Erza...Is this what you want?" he asked while looking into her eyes.

Erza paused for a moment before looking back at the man she loved. "Natsu. Your brave, strong, practically fearless...not mention smart enough to build practically anything. Plus, you've saved my life who knows how many times now." she gave a small pause before taking a deep breath.

"I love you Natsu...I have for years now. This is what I want." she finished before requiping out of her clothes. She was wearing nothing as she watched Natsu's reaction.

"Erza...I love you too. I know I'm rough on you sometimes, but I just want you to get home alive and in one piece."

"I know Natsu... Now lets have some fun." she said in a sultry voice.

"Oh you know it!" he exclaimed before kissing her along the neck. She moaned softly as he kissed her while massaging her breasts.

"Ohhhh Natsuuuu." she let out sexily while he continued to kiss her body.

"Hmmm?"

"Lose the clothes." she stated before climbing off his lap. Natsu complied in a flash of light, revealing himself in nothing. Erza's eyes widened as she took in the sight of his member. Slowly sinking to her knees, she touched it softly before clasping it in her hand.

"Holy crap its big! He really is impressive." she thought before leaning forward and giving the tip a kiss. This elicited a small groan from Natsu. Hearing his pleasure from her actions, Erza gave a few short licks before taking the head into her mouth.

"Damn Erza...that feels good..."

Erza took more and more of him into her mouth, bobbing her head up and down. This went on for a few minutes before she came up for air.

"How about the main event? Can't keep giving you head all night..." she asked sexily before standing and climbing onto the bed. It wasn't much to look at, just a single mattress box spring jammed into the side of the room. However, it would be enough as the two positioned themselves. Erza was laying on her back as Natsu climbed on top of her. Positioning himself, he looked her in the eyes.

"You ready?"

"Yeah." she nodded.

With her consent, Natsu slid himself inside of Erza. "Holy shit Erza, your really tight!" he exclaimed before pushing deeper inside of her. Erza hissed in pain after he broke through her barrier.

"You ok?"

"Yeah...just give me a minute. Didn't expect you to be this big." she mentioned while letting out a small chuckle. After a minute, Erza gave a nod for her lover to continue. With that, he started to thrust in and out of her. This went on for a few minutes before Erza really started to feel good. Wrapping her legs around Natsu's back as he thrust into her, she spoke lustfully.

"Harder...Fuck me harder Natsu!" she demanded as Natsu increased his pace.

"Holy shit! This feels so good! I don't want him to stop!" she thought between gasps of breath.

"You like that Erza?"

"Fuck yes! Fucking pound me!" she yelled out before reaching up and pulling him down for a kiss. This continued on for minutes before Natsu increased his pace even faster.

"Erza...I'm gonna cum!"

"On my boobs! I don't need a kid right now!" she exclaimed before Natsu pulled out. A few seconds later, a white load splashed against her breasts before Natsu collapsed next to her on the bed.

"God damn Erza! You sure know how to wear a guy out." as the two panted for breath.

"Are you kidding? You practically fucking me into the bed!" as she requipped a small towel to wipe herself off. Soon the two were laying there as Erza hugged Natsu closely. She was resting her head on his chest listening to his heartbeat. "I need to tell him...If I can do this with him, I can trust him with anything." she thought before coming to a decision.

"Natsu?"

"Hmmm? What is it Erza?"

"Do you know what my life was like before I came to Fairy Tail?"

"No...I was curious about it, but you never wanted to talk about it so I never pressed the issue. Why? What's up?"

"I...I think its time I tell you about my life before...about the 'Tower of Heaven."

As Natsu laid there next to Erza while she told her story, he could feel his hatred and fury climbing. When Erza finally finished with tears in her eyes, Natsu spoke in a low, cold tone.

"Erza...when we get back to Earthland, I will find this 'Tower'...and burn it to the ground. Nothing will be left when I get done with it."

Erza pressed her naked body closer to Natsu before whispering two words as she slowly fell asleep..."thank you."

He laid there a few moments before pulling a blanket over the two, letting himself drift off to sleep with dreams of revenge.


The next day...

Lucy jerked awake with a start. The first thing she noticed was the soft bed she was in and the whiteness of the room. Looking to her left, she saw a heavily bandaged Grey laying on his stomach sleeping soundly.

"Thank god...I was worried with that wound of his...' she said softly before the door opened. In a flash of blue fur, Happy had latched onto Lucy, giving her the biggest hug his little arms could.

"Lucy! I was so worried! That monster got so much stronger after he ate the souls of all those dark mages! Then that big blast that almost killed you and Grey..." cried the little blue cat as he burrowed his face into her chest.

"Its okay Happy...' she said softly while hugging him back.

"Yes...you two were the worst off from that battle. I had to help carry you to the train." said Makarov as he entered the room. He was soon followed by Mira, Juvia, and surprisingly, Laxus.

"Its true. He went into his titan form while myself and Juvia made a litter for Grey...he had a serious wound..." stated Mira as she looked at the sleeping man.

"...He saved my life you know. If I hadn't been knocked around so much, I could've moved. But I was so dizzy and disoriented that all I could barely stand." Lucy said softly while looking at his sleeping form sadly.

"Don't blame yourself, Lucy. After all, you came up with a way to defeat that Demon." said Juvia with a smile as she stood at the end of her bed.

"Water girl is right. Taking down a Demon of Zeref is no easy feat." stated Laxus from the doorway. He stood still for a moment before digging into a pocket. Pulling out the object, he tossed it at Lucy before it landed on the bed. It was a golden gate key. Lucy's eyes widened in realization as she looked at Laxus.

"Where did you get this?"

"Me and the 'thunder legion' picked it up on Gulana Island. Seriously, that quest was a pain in the ass though. Some crazy ice-make wizard that wanted to fight a dead monster. A town full of demons and some old guy that used time magic? The whole thing was a pain in the ass. Anyway, part of the reward was a golden key. Since your the only celestial mage I know, you get a freebie." he stated before his gaze hardened. "However, I wont tolerate weakness on your part. So you better not slack off." he finished before leaving the room. Everybody was quiet before Makarov spoke up.

"You know...I think seeing Natsu fighting the locust has actually been good for Laxus. He seems...more tolerable now."

"I agree master...he does seem a little...kinder." said Mira before she turned back to Lucy. "Anyway Lucy, Levy is back with some good news! Apparently she's close to a solution in opening a portal to get Natsu and Erza home!" she said happily before Happy jumped for joy.

"Yayyy! Natsu is gonna be home soon!" the excited little cat exclaimed before flying out of the room.

"Anyway, Levy was gonna tell him the good news. Would you like to join us?" asked Juvia.

'Sure...sounds like it could be a blast."

A few minutes later the three women and the master were gathered in the guild hall with practically everybody present. Levy was having a quiet conversations with Cana before the card mage walked back to the bar and picked up her drink. This prompted Levy to stand on an empty table. More and more of the guild quieted down before the script mage spoke.

"First of all, from what Cana has told me. Natsu has managed to build his own IVD. In fact while most of us were away on jobs, he contacted the guild." Levy gave a small nod to the brunette before she spoke.

"That's right, it was just for a few minutes. But he wanted to let us know that the COG is planning a massive assault against the locust...tomorrow. Now he doesn't care if we watch what happens or not, but he warned that it will get bloody. So fair warning to everybody here." she finished before taking a swig from her bottle. Levy took that as her turn to speak.

"Also I would like to inform everybody that I'm close to developing a portal to get our friends home. I'm hoping that in the next few days I'll get it working."

"How did you manage to find a solution so fast?" asked Evergreen from her place next to Elfman.

"Oh I wouldn't worry about that...just know that it'l work." Levy said before quickly changing the subject. "Anyways, lets tell Natsu the good news!" she finished before climbing down from the table and approaching her invention. Powering it up, they didn't expect the sight that greeted them...


Jacincto. Natsu's storage room.

Natsu woke up by a strange flash of light. Opening his eyes, he looked over to see a very red, blushing Erza. Raising a questioning eyebrow, he looked past her to the doorway. Standing there with a camera was Baird, Cole, and Sam with the stupidest grins you could ever see on a person.

"Damn Natsu! You are the man!" exclaimed Cole in a happy voice before Baird spoke.

"Oh man...I've prayed for perfect days, and now I think I've found it! This is like a gift from god!" he exclaimed with a shit-eating grin before taking another picture of the two. The only thing covering them was a green blanket that Erza had hiked up to cover her body. This set Sam to laugh as Erza's face became even redder.

"Holy shit! I didn't think anybody could get that red!" as she laughed hysterically. She was soon joined as the other two started laughing along with her. This went on for a few seconds before Natsu climbed out of bed. Natsu stood there in his full glory, his hardened body of muscle littered with scars. He let out a dark chuckle before lighting his hands on fire.

"Hey Baird?"

"Yeah kid?" he managed to ask between laughs.

"Better start running..." replied Natsu in a dark voice as he let a small fireball fly above his friends head.

Baird ducked instinctively before looking back at Natsu. He was literally on fire at this point as he locked eyes with the younger man.

"Well shit..." he muttered before himself and the other two started running as fast as they could. Needless to say, the three Gears would have some burns within the hour.


Fairy Tail...

Silence reigned through the guild hall as most of the girls flushed deep red at the sight of Natsu's naked body. The fact that he was built like a god didn't help much. The worst off were Mira and Juvia as they saw the after effects of what obviously had been a night between Natsu and Erza.

"So dreamy..." let out Juvia before she promptly passed out from the sight. Mira managed to catch her before the water mage hit the floor. Mira was practically crimson as she cradled Juvia in her lap before speaking.

"Um...maybe we should try back later..."

"Uh...yeah...that's a good idea..." stuttered Levy in embarrassment before she shut down the IVD.

"Damn! Did you gals see him? Like a fucking God! Plus, those scars just make him look even sexier!' squealed out Cana in excitement.

"Hands off Cana! He's mine!" stated Mira in a cold glare as she looked at the card mage.

"Okay everybody, that's enough!" shouted out Makarov as silence fell over the hall. "Now were all adults here, so lets not make a big deal of this alright? I'm sure he doesn't need you all grilling him as soon as we talk with him." he paused before going on. "Levy, I believe its best if we wait a few hours."

"Thats...probably a good idea." she finished before standing up and walking out of the guild hall.

Two hours later...

By now everybody had calmed down from the unintended show. However, Juvia was still blushing as recurring thoughts raced through her head. The intimate scenarios were ultimately broken as the guild hall was exchanged for a wide avenue packed with soldiers. Natsu was there with his squad as his attention was turned to a man on a platform. He was joined by Colonel Hoffman and a decorated soldier wearing a black do-rag with a gear symbol in its center. This man had craggy, hard features as he stood silently in the background. Juvia refocused her attention as the man in the grey uniform began to speak.

"Humans are no strangers to war. After all, we've been fighting for as long as we can remember. War is all we know. In the past, we fought for imulsion. We fought for country. We fought for freedom. But all that changed after E-Day. For fifteen years, we've been fighting for our very survival against inhuman, genocidal monsters. But it is a fight we cannot continue. Humanity faces extinction, unless we end this war now. We had hoped the Lightmass bombing would decimate the Locust Horde. But they survived. And have returned, stronger than ever. They've brought with them a force that can sink entire cities. Even Jacinto, our last beacon of hope through all these dark days, is now at risk. Soon we'll have nothing left to defend. And that means we have only one option. attack. Gears, what I ask of you now is not an easy thing, but it is necessary. If we are to survive. If we are to live long enough to see the seasons change, our children grow and experience a time of peace that we have never known, then we must take this fight to the Locust! We will go to were they live and where they breed and we will destroy them! This is the day we take the battle to the heart of the enemy. This is the day that we correct the course of human history! This is the day that we ensure our survival as a species! Soldiers of the COG, my fellow Gears, go forth and bring back the hope of humanity!"

Alright! This is the end of chapter 12! Plenty of stuff happened! Different universes, some sweet loving. and a stronger lullaby. Now before anybody asks I never cared for Gulana Island.

The happy.
