Alright! This is chapter 26! And we know who is joining Fairy Tail in this chapter! Now I hope you enjoyed the last one since Natsu got some sweet sweet loving from all his lovely ladies! Sam and Lucy started a holiday fight and Wendy has started some fire-arm's training. Now FYI, after this chapter...shit's gonna get bloody. Like Oracion Sies and Nirvana...Then some battles on Sera which you faithful readers know are coming if you've kept up with my one shots. Now if you expect Edolas to shake down like canon...its not. Dragneel and the others pretty much know the lay of the land and what needs to happen. So don't expect Natsu and Wendy to get captured in that magical...drain thingy. Anyway, I'll be doing Fallout next for my oneshots. It'l take place between this chapter and Nirvana if any of you guys are interested. Anyhooo...I don't own Gears of War or Fairy Tail...sigh

Chapter 26: Knightwalker


Universe 137-C January 3rd, year 786.

Natsu had returned from his little vacation with Cana two days ago. While Mira coming back with them had been a little shocking, most of the guild had simply shrugged their shoulders before going about their business. The two Levy's had been hard at work, making some of the magical pills that their friends would need on the mission to Edolas. Unfortunately, they proved difficult to make as the two script mages had only managed to make twenty of the little, blue pills.

Watching the two work, Makarov gave a heavy sigh as the two guilds worked together.

"Is something the wrong, Master?" asked Lisanna as she wiped down the bar from the earlier lunch rush.

"Not particularly, just always worried when my children prepare for a mission like this" he replied to the young woman, his voice filled with unease.

"I know what you mean. But at least you finally got in touch with Mystogan...er..our Mystogan"

"Tch! That punk was over on the eastern border with Bosco just closing up anima after anima. The damn fool forgot his comm lacrima in his hotel for almost a week as he just waltzed across the country-side. At least he'll be back within the hour" the old man muttered.

"That's good to hear...um...what about Erza though? We all know how she is with him...especially with all the horrible one's she's met in other realities"

"She has given her word that she won't attack him. But she has requested that he does not join her team" he finished as they looked over at the Gear soldier. She was sitting with Echo squad, the four warriors having a chance to catch up.

"Man, this is gonna be great! Echo squad heading out without the worry of locust? Sign me up!" Glenn cheered as he munched on a pile of bacon. Unlike previous times, he had learned his lesson and kept it under close guard from the thieving hands of his squadmate's.

"I know! This should be pretty easy. All we have to do is get Knightwalker, beat her, then topple a corrupt king" Natsu agreed as he crossed his arms over his chest. The man was finally back to full health, his dragon-slayer healing increasing his recovery time by leaps and bounds.

"Don't you think we're overdoing it though? On top of us, we have the rest of your girlfriends along with Gajeel and Wendy going. Plus Sue will insist since Glenn is coming along" Erza voiced out before taking a sip of water.

"It's fine, Scarlet. We're just being precautious. I'd rather have overwhelming force than not enough" Sam finished before the guild hall doors swung open. Walking in as the mage stomped his boots from the light snow drifting down outside, he shut the doors behind him. He had a cloak drapped across his shoulders while a hood and mask hid his face except for his eyes. A trio of staffs were strapped to his back as the man took in the view of many doubles in the hall.

"What the hell? I know Master Makarov said it was important and not to activate my magic...but two Erza's?"

Seeing the one closest to the doors stand up, he remained silent as the red-head in heavy combat armor approached.

"Jellal...or Edolas Jellal. We need your help in bringing peace to your universe and bringing Erza Knightwalker here. Will you assist us?"

"H..How do you know my identity?"

"Levy got blasted to 551-G. They've already dealt with this stuff. Now please remove your mask and hood, it's bugging the crap outta me"

"Wont seeing my face upset you?" Mystogan asked.

"Somewhat. But you are a member here and I can understand why you hid yourself from me and the others. I take it you've been keeping up with news?"

"Yes...I'm sorry I haven't been able to help in your battles, but my father keeps targeting towns and small cities with the anima. It was all I could do to make sure they didn't disappear"

'It's fine. You were doing something important. Now come and join the meeting. We're about to start" Scarlet commanded as she rejoined her squad. Walking past her, he sat near Makarov as two different versions of Levy took the stage at the far end of the hall.

"Alright everybody listen up! Our two guilds are going to Edolas within the hour. While we expect similarities, we must be prepared for anything. Currently, we only have twenty of the magic pills so teams must be selected. Already, our Thunder Legion will be joining the 200-AB version of Erza, Grey, Lucy, Natsu, gajeel, and Wendy. Their mission will be to protect Fairy Tail there from the army, rescue Lisanna if she still lives, defeat Knightwalker, and bring peace to the kingdom. The mission for 137-C will be different. Since our own Lisanna is still alive, we're hoping that theirs is as well. Our mages primary focus is to stop the anima's completely, bring Knightwalker here, and bring peace and stability to the kingdom. I will be maintaining overwatch of the situation the entire time along with my double in her own reality. Our mages will be splitting into two groups of equal power while maintaining a shock and awe posture. Now we're hoping to minimize casualties, but if your life is in danger, defend yourselves. Now does anybody have any questions?" McGarden finished as she looked across the hall.

Raising her hand, Sue voice her concerns. "Yeah, since my boyfriend doesn't use magic and I'm nowhere near Erza's or Juvia's level, how are we spltting the teams?"

"Dragneel will lead Echo, along with Cana and yourself. I know Sam is technically in charge, but this is magic related and doesn't concern locust. Mira will lead Gajeel, Juvia, and Wendy. Mystogan will guide them to the palace and assist them in shutting down this damn anima before it tries sucking up Magnolia. Now I know these teams are a little lopsided, but Echo is a fine fighting unit and the magical strength of the other five should be able to best any threat. Now anything else?"

"Yeah. What do we do if their Lisanna isn't alive anymore?" Laxus asked as the thunder legion prepared themselves.

Sighing heavily, the other Levy decided to take over.

"If that's the case, then just do your best to bring that reality to rights. I know Mira and Elfman are placing alot on this, but we have to be prepared for the worst. So just do your best to topple this crazy version of Makarov" Levy finished before seeing the raised hand of Lucy from her own universe. Nodding her head in consent, the blonde spoke.

"So I heard that there's this giant metal dragon machine there. Is that true?"

"Yes. From what McGarden has told me, the mages in 551-G had a tough time dealing with it. The armor is incredibly thick and is capable of heavy missile salvos. It has large blades on both arms and can use magic to increase it's speed and strength. But the best way to deal with it is to just prevent King Faust from even getting to the thing. Also, the royal army is not a push over like the rune knights in our own reality. Many of them carry significant magical weapons so please be careful" Levy finished as the two waited. When nobody voiced any other concerns, the mages of two realities started the mission.

"Good luck Dragneel" Natsu told his double as the two clasped hands.

"You two man. Hope you can get your Lisanna back...who knows, you might even get girlfriend number six" he smirked while the man's females gave a threatening glare Not feeling the least bit scared, he waved them off as the doubles started filtering back to their own reality. Once they were gone, Levy approached with a small vial of pills. Pressing it into Natsu's hand, the mage popped one into his mouth before passing it on to his team. Watching them each take one in turn, the four Gears double checked their equipment one last time.

"Now I'll try to put each group down near their objectives, but this is a reversal universe so things might get...screwy" Levy commented as Juvia gave a kiss to Natsu.

"Please be careful my love!"

"You two Juv. Same to you others" the dragon slayer relayed as Mystogan walked over to join his assigned group. "Hey Mysty. You keep an eye on my girls, right? I'm putting alot of faith in you that your not like that bastard in the tower"

"I understand Natsu. I will do my utmost to keep them safe...and thank you for placing your trust in me. I heard what happened there so I know this must be difficult for you" The azure haired male replied as Levy activated the portal. Simply nodding, Dragneel gave one final wave toward his girlfriends and companions as he walked through the vortex with his group in tow. Happy was hovering nearby, the little cat accompanying his father on another mission.


Universe X-379...unknown location.

Erza was flung out of the portal at a high speed, crashing into some nearby shrubbery as numerous branches and twigs broke her fall. Struggling to untangle herself, a second speeding figure crashed into her as the two let out a gasp of lost air. Looking past the struggling form of Cana, Erza could see the vortex flicker slightly before vanishing with a surge of electricity.

"Okay...that can't be good" she muttered before climbing to her feet, small leaves stuck in her hair. Extending a hand down, she helped the brunette to her feet as the other woman let out a groan.

"Ugh...what the fuck happened?

"I don't know" Erza replied before pressing her fingers to the radio in her ear. "This is Erza. Does anybody read me?"

"I hear you Erza. Are you with Cana? We don't see her anywhere in the area" Natsu replied over the transmission airwaves.

"She's fine. Do you know what happened? Where are the others?"

"I'm not sure. We'll have to ask Levy once we get back. If I had to guess, probably interference from the anima or maybe some other unknown. But the others are fine. We're gonna start heading to where Fairy Tail is...if we can find it. You should do the same. Dragneel out" the man finished with finality.

"So we're cut off from the others?' Cana asked as she pcked a twig from her hair before re-adjusting the strap of her shotgun.

"Looks like it. But come on, we should get moving" the soldier ordered as the two women fell into step. Emerging from the small woods, the two females took in many strange sights. Numerous floating rock formations adorned the sky while a winding river of water ran horizontally off a cliff. This didn't even include the many strange creatures that inhabited the land as the two continued to observe.

"You know Erza...this place is pretty fucking weird. Whoever heard of water floating in the sky? Cana commented as the two walked underneath a stream of flowing liquid before walking along a cliff-side path.

"Indeed. Levy failed to mention these particular elements"

"Maybe she forgot?" the brunette said with a shrug before falling into silence. Continuing to walk for another twenty minutes, they soon came to a bend in the path. Resting on an open plain before them was Fairy Tail, its emblem easily recognizable despite the odd appearance of the building. Moving into a brisk pace, the two females were at the double doors.

"Never figured it would look like some damn tree.." Erza muttered as she started to push the doors open. "Why do I have the feeling I'm forgetting something?" she asked herself before emerging into the hall with Cana. Numerous mages were sitting around talking and chatting, but clear differences could be heard. Jet and Droy were teasing Elfman on his weakness. Grey was pressuring Juvia for a date which the woman promptly ignored. A fancily dressed Cana was refusing drinks from Macao and Wakaba while a stunning woman with blue hair and a shapely body helped the doubles of Mira and Lisanna serve food. The easiest comparison was Lucy and Levy, the two in a heated argument as they reminded the knight of her own friends.

"H..H..HOLY SHIT! IT"S ERZA!" the double of Natsu cried out before hiding underneath a table in the hall. The whole guild froze, many shaking in fear at the woman before them.

"Well don't just stand there! Fight!" screamed out Lucy as she charged forward, a knife in her hand. Slashing in an upward arc at the red-head, the soldier dodged before grabbing the blade arm with her hand. Using a simple disarm and throw, the blond was sent crashing to the floor as the woman now had her only weapon.

"Oh shit...we're all fucking dead..." Lucy Ashley thought to herself as some of the other members started to grab any spare weapons.

"That was an impressive move Lucy. But why were you trying to kill me?"

"What? Is she fucking serious? Doesn't she remember killing Laxus or Gildarts? Or all the other guilds?"

"It's because your a monster that has killed many of our friends!" Levy shouted out from her corner, a sword clutched in her hands that danced with electricity.

"Dammit Erza! How could you forget your an enemy here!?" Cana scolded as she walked up to Lucy, extending a hand. "Sorry about all this. We're from a parallel universe. Erza Scarlet has been a member since childhood like myself"

"C..Cana? Is that you?" the blonde asked in a confused stupor as she was helped to her feet. Lucy couldn't believe what this other version was wearing. Capri pants with a bomber jacket hanging open, revealing an exposed mid-riff and blue bikini top as a strange weapon was strapped to her back.

"YUP! And this is my friend Erza!" she said happily as the mentioned female stepped forward. "Here's your knife. You have good instincts to attack while your enemy is unprepared" she praised lightly before handing the blade back to the blonde.

"S..s..so your not here to kill us?" Lisanna asked from behind the bar, hiding behind her older sister.

"No. Were here to accomplish many things actually, but killing you would not be one of them. Unfortunately, we have been separated from the rest of our team so we must wait for them" Erza replied before heading over to the bar. "Mira. Could I bother you for a slice of Strawberry Cheesecake?"

"I'm sorry, but we're all out"

"Awe man..." the woman let out as she rested her head on the bar, her distress apparent as Cana just chuckled as she talked with some of the members over the next fifteen minutes. That's when she saw her double at a table. Marching over, she pointed at the Edolas Cana. "JUST WHAT IN THE HELL ARE YOU WEARING!?" the brunette cried out as she looked at the woman in a full, frilly dress complete with umbrella.

"A proper lady should be adorned in formal attire at all times"

"GAH! I need a fucking drink!' she let out before grabbing the bottle in Macao's hands. Tilting it upwards, she chugged half of the whiskey in one go. Needless to say, the whole guild was taken aback by the alien behavior of this other Cana. The revealing clothes, the cursing, and now the drinking was too much.

"AH! This is crazy!" Natsu cried as he came out from under his table before hiding behind Lucy.

"Don't hide behind me you coward!" the blonde yelled before kicking the man away, crashing him into a table. Looking upon the Edolas version of their boyfriend, Erza and Cana studied Lucy in curiosity. "Why'd you call him a coward?' the red head asked as numerous mages kept their distance.

"Cause he is one? He hates fighting and conflict and cant even stand up to me without shaking in fear. The only saving grace he has is his bravery behind the wheel of his car" she replied to the two strange visitors. 'I have to be careful. While Cana seems to be alright, Erza is a terror here...despite how friendly she seems at the moment"

The stifling laughter between the two grew until they couldn't contain themselves anymore. The rich, pleasant sound filling the hall as the two almost burst at the sides.

"N.. a coward? I"ve never heard something so ridiculous in my life!" Erza said between deep lungfuls of air as Cana just doubled over, the humor making her completely useless for the moment.

"You mean my friend is brave?" Grey asked as he stood near Juvia, the woman sidestepping away from the creeping man in the large overcoat.

"Natsu Dragneel in our universe is probably one of the strongest and bravest men on the continent. His affinity for battle is astounding" Erza commented with a smile as Mira looked at her oddly. "I've seen the scowl and hardness of Knightwalker first hand. But this other Erza completely brightened up the room when she talked about Natsu"

"You seem to get really happy when you mentioned his name?" Juvia asked, the woman shoving Grey Surge away in annoyance. "I have to admit Dragion is handsome...to bad he shakes at the drop of a hat"

"Well of course. He is..." The red-head started before the guild hall doors swung open, revealing four new bodies in the doorway. Many mages couldn't believe the double of Natsu before them. Not only was he adorned in heavy armor with most of the others, but his stance and demeanor screamed...power... Add to the fact that the scar on his face made him look like a warrior from the legends of old. This caused many female eyes to study his form, even Lucy Ashley as she studied this man. "Holy crap! That's their Natsu? He looks like he could topple the king by himself" The blonde thought to herself as the man stepped forward with his compatriots.

"Good your already here. Was worried I'd have to go searching for you two" Dragneel replied as he studied his shaking counterpart. "Is he...scared of me? "

"Nah. We found it fine. You did take your sweet-ass time though" mentioned Cana as she took another light swig from her bottle.

"We would've been here sooner, but Happy decided he wanted to try fishing in on of those floating rivers. Wasted a bunch of time" Sue mentioned as she stood near Glenn.

"But! Fish in a flying river! I had to try!" wailed the little blue cat as the Edolas members finally laid eyes on him.

"AH! It's an Exceed!" cried out Mira as numerous mages bowed in respect to the flying cat.

"Natsu...these people are being weird. Can I just eat my fish I caught?"

"Not right now little buddy. But maybe later" Dragneel replied as an alarm filled the air.

"The fuck is that?" Sam asked as the members scurried around in activity. Levy was at some strange console, peering into a screen as the guild's worst nightmares were realized.

"It's the second and fourth War Divisions! They're led by Knightwalker and Sugarboy!" the short woman cried in panic.

"OH FUCK YEAH! Now we don't have to run all over the place looking for her!" The pinkette cheered out as the six gathered near the doorway.

"Why are you cheering! She'll kill all of you!" Lucy Ashley shouted out, her female fury having no effect on the man.

"Pft. If I can be eaten by a worm that sinks cities and survive, There's no way I'll fall to this chick" he replied to the guild over his shoulder before walking outside. Looking up, the invading soldiers were flying strange winged beasts that almost resembled wyverns back home, but were obviously domesticated from the looks of it. Picking out the red head at the front, he could see her with a large spear as a look of glee crossed her face. She had a purple scarf around her neck while a simple black bikini top covered her breasts. Her forearms were covered in black gauntlets while her legs were covered with equally black greaves. To be honest, she was an exact double of Erza with only the clothing setting them apart.

"So what's the plan? Parks asked as he readied his rifle.

"Kill anybody that attacks us or the guild behind us. The only exception is Knightwalker" Natsu simply stated as the divisions grew closer. In minutes they had landed, surrounded the guild hall with hundreds of soldiers.

"Capture them all! If they resist, kill them! Knightwalker barked out as she leapt off her steed. Readying her Ten Commandments, she was about to fire before freezing in her tracks. Standing there in the middle of the dark mages...was her.

"The fuck?" she asked no-one in particular as this other double calmly walked forward. Despite all the soldiers of the two war divisions completely surrounding them, this version of her didn't flinch at all or show a single ounce of fear.

"She's a soldier...just like me. In fact, those other three wear identical armor and carry similar weapons" the huntress concluded as the other red-head stopped before her. The moment was tense, the dark mages of Fairy Tail huddled near their guild as fear and worry crossed their faces. Sugarboy was itching to attack, but waited and calmed his men due to the unusual situation. "If only I could've beaten Knightwalker here! Some of these dark mages would prove very entertaining for my men. They haven't gotten to enjoy the raping of women since Blue Pegasus fell two months ago. But once that red-headed bitch found out, she had ten of my men executed for 'heinous crimes against women' ...whatever the hell that means..." the secondary commander thought in fury just as the other Erza started to speak.

"Erza Knightwalker of the Second War Division?"

"Yes?"

"I am Erza Scarlet of Fairy Tail. Myself and my friends have come from a parallel universe for a variety of reasons, but the main one is to bring you back to Earthland"

"Now why the fuck would I do that?" The commander snarled out as she started to gather magic into her spear.

"God Dammit Erza! You suck at this!" Sam shouted out before jogging up and joining the three women. Wrapping a friendly arm around the huntress, Sam gave a knowing grin. "I'm going to give you three awesome fucking reasons why" The brunette told the soldier as she started to tick off reasons.

"One. Instead of these lame 'dark mages' that haven't really done shit. Earthland is crawling with true monsters. I'm talking men that rape, pillage, practice human sacrifice or cannibalism. Horrible fuckers that need your particular brand of bad-ass justice. Two. Magic is fucking unlimited in that reality and there is a pretty decent chance that you can develop your own magic without needing that spear. Three. There are some awesome fucking restaurants that serve wings, burgers, pizza...lime ice cream..." Sam trailed off as Knightwalkers eyes widened at these words.

"Tell me...do you spare these dark mages? And what guarantee can you give me that I could develop my own magic?"

"We fucking kill them with no mercy. They only live if they surrender. Scarlet here has killed like fifty or sixty dark mages in a single day" Sam mentioned with a smirk before continuing. 'Unfortunately, I don't know if you will develop your own magic. I know I did, but Glenn over there hasn't had a single trace of it in the last half year"

"Your offer is tempting...Give me a few moments to think this over" she replied before looking at her personal troops.

"Did I mention we have a way to bring technology here that doesn't require magic? You could help usher in a new golden age for your kingdom..." the brunette whispered, not wanting to alarm the other soldiers. Eye's opening in realization at what this could mean for Edolas, Knightwalker barked out new orders.

'Second Division stand down! I will not jeopardize this opportunity!" she yelled out as her soldiers quickly complied, backing away from the surrounded mages.

"Fuck that! I will not these dark mages escape again!" the blonde soldier yelled out before rushing forward, his sword free as he swung at the closest mage. Sue tucked into a roll, moving several feet away before springing to her feet. "Asshole!" she yelled out before seeing several more soldiers sprinting toward her and her boyfriend. Gathering magical energy into her hands, the woman brought out the heavy guns right away as a large, magical prism floated in the air. Quickly absorbing the rays of the sun high in the sky, she gathered what she needed in moments. Looking over to her left, the sound's of gunfire filled the air as her boyfriend Glenn kept the royal knights at bay with accurate gunfire. Over half a dozen had already died, the ghastly wound's seeping blood as speeding lead caused several soldiers to stop in their tracks.

'Th..the hell!?" asked one soldier in horror as his comrades's head exploded into a fine mist, the crack of this horrible new weapon sowing fear.

"You ready Sue!?" Parks asked loudly as his bullets punched into a man that tried to rush him, the deadly projectiles bursting out the back in a shower of gore and crimson.

"READY! SUN PRISM!" the tan skinned woman screamed at the top of her lungs as numerous shafts of light targeted every single soldier of the Fourth War division. Burning through the sky in mere seconds, the men didn't have a single chance to scream as the focused beams of refracted light cauterized the wounds in an instant. Moment's later, over three hundred men fell dead as silence fell over the battlefield.

"H..Holy shit..." Juvia exclaimed as the Edolas mages stared at this single woman in a new light.

"Sh..she just wiped out a war division single handedly..." Grey whispered in awe as the blonde man in blue armor looked at the culprit with absolute murder in his eyes.

"Y...YOU WHORE! I"M GONNA FUCKING RAPE YOU!" He screamed out as he charged at the female mage with the Fairy Tail emblem. The report of the gunshot didn't even register in Sugarboy's ears before a fresh pain rose from his abdomen. Collapsing to his knees, the man could only clutch his wound as blood poured through his fingers.

"H..how...?"

"Nobody ever threatens my girl and lives" Glenn muttered before holstering his pistol. Grabbing 'Trish' from his magnetized armor plate, he hefted it before walking over. Pressing the end underneath the man's chin, he made the wounded solder look up at him. "Because you threatened Sue...Trish got really thirsty. But this only happens when she's near people she doesn't like"

"Wh..what?" the man stuttered with a groan as the male before him shouldered the baseball bat.

"You see...Trish only comes out to play around evil, raping, assholes...and the only way to quench her thirst...is to let her get a taste of...BLOOD!" the Gear yelled out before bringing the bat down in one quick strike. Collapsing to the dirt, the blonde groaned as his skull cracked.

"You took it like a bitch!" Glenn yelled out before bringing the bat down for another swing. Again and again the soldier smashed the barb-wired weapon into the man's head as the sickening crunch could be heard through the air. Soon it was over as the man hefted the bat over his shoulder, blood and bits of flesh dripping off as he looked down at the gorey ruin of Sugarboy's skull. Walking over to Sue, he brought his girlfriend in for a deep kiss as she returned the lustful action. Breaking away, Sue smiled up at him.

"You know it gets me all hot when you play hero like that. Your gonna be getting some action tonight" she said in a playful manner as she looked over to Cana. "Bet your jealous now" the woman teased.

"Of course I am! I didn't get to do anything!" Cana ranted before unscrewing a flask and taking a quick swig. Looking back the the guild members behind her, she offered the flask. "Yo! Anybody want some?"

"Um...I think we're good..." Mira replied with a strained smile as she looked at the hundreds of bodies around her.

Knightwalker and her division were in a stupor. Never in their lives had any of them witnessed such magical strength. Looking over to the brunette woman, the huntress finally spoke.

"Are all Earthland mages this strong?" "If there is a chance I can develop such power myself, I MUST HAVE IT!"

"Actually...Sue there is one of our weaker mages. I'm far stronger than her and about equal to Cana in magical strength. Scarlet over there probably equals two of me and Cana combined"

"Unbelievable..." she muttered before looking at the scarred man standing around, talking with his double like nothing was wrong. "What about him?" she pointed to Dragneel.

"He's stronger than Scarlet"

"So he's powerful?"

"Very. He is considered the 'Alpha Natsu' in all the realities"

"She says he's strong...that they are all stronger than that one woman...but I must see for myself" she concluded before a hardened looked overcame her eyes.

"I will order my division to not attack any of your. However, I have a request"

"What is it?" asked Scarlet as she studied this version.

"I wish to fight him. If he beats me, I will accompany you to Earthland and kill your dark mages. If he loses to me however, he will join my division"

"Seems fair to me" Dragneel responded as he walked up. Knightwalker thought he would stop at an appropriate distance,but the man was barely a foot away as he leaned in close...sniffing her.

"Is he...smelling me?"

Taking a deep whiff of her natural scent, he noticed the many similarities between his knight and this woman. While Scarlet had a hint of strawberries mixed in with a heavy dose of steel, Knightwalker was slightly different. There was still the overwhelming smell of steel and metal, but it was mixed in with leather and hints of lime. Taking one last whiff as the woman took a few steps back, Natsu grinned at her.

"Oh yeah...your number six. No doubt about it..." he trailed off before Cana marched up and slapped him upside the head.

"Don't go sniffing women like some damn dog! Your freaking everybody out!" she scolded in a chastising tone at Natsu.

"Hehe. Natsu got in trouble..." Happy teased as the little cat rested on Erza's shoulders.

"Yeah yeah. Laugh it up you little furball" he commented as the Edo members looked on at the exceed in awe. Ignoring the strange looks to his little friend, he turned to Knightwalker. "Before we begin, a few rules. The first one is, no outside help. The second is no attacking after surrender. Once the fight is done, its done. Are these acceptable to you?"

"Yes" the huntress replied as her purple scarf fluttered in the wind behind her. Readying her spear, she was taken aback as the man's torso was covered in a bright light. Once it faded, she finally go a good look at the man's body. His torso was ripplnig with hard muscle, his washboard abs almost glinting in the sun. Nothing was overly bulgy or outlandish like some of the men she served with, but she could see that there was not a single ounce of fat on him. Then the female saw the scars. Numerous flaws in his skin told a story of war and death...suffering and blood. Knightwalker didn't realize it, but she was licking her lips as she studied this soldiers body of male perfection.

"Those scars...delicious..."

Unknown to the two combatants, many of the women of Fairy Tail were looking upon this other version of Natsu as well, hints of lust and redness adorning many of their cheeks.

"Now that...that's a fucking man right there" Lucy Ashley commented before hitting Dragion on the top of his head. "WHY CAN"T YOU BE LIKE THAT!?" she roared in frustration before looking at this godly sight. Looking over to her left, she could see Levy and Juvia staring intently, practically eye-fucking the male as he did a few simple stretches.

"I'm sorry! I try my best!" the other Natsu wailed as the two finally took combat stances. Everybody had cleared a space for the combatants, Fairy Tail and Royal Knights alike as they waited for the start of the fight.

"Ugh...I can't believe he's doing this shit again..." Sam muttered before standing near Her team.

"You know he just does it half the time to annoy you girls, right?" Glenn told his fellow guild members.

"Whatever...HEY KNIGHTWALKER! KICK HIS ASS FOR BEING A DAMN IDIOT!" Sam shouted out to the huntress.

Smirking at the woman's words, the commander set out to do just that. Pointing her spear, the red head quickly fed magic into it as she leveled the weapon at the man.

"MELFORCE!" she cried out as a shockwave of pressurized air blasted toward Natsu. Crossing his arms in a block, he staggered slightly backwards as the air blast washed over him. Lowering his arms, he tilted his head to the side as the huntress stabbed the spear into the space he previously occupied.

"Good reflexes" she commented with slight praise before jumping back to her original starting point.

"Thanks. But lets see you dodge this..." Dragneel smirked before lighting his hands on fire. Forming two orbs of flames within the blink of an eye, he released them to his target.

"Shit!" Erza cursed before dodging to the side in a hard roll. The magical attacks missed, exploding harmlessly in the distance as fire washed over the desolate landscape. Coming to her feet, she ignored the dust and dirt on her uniform as she tried to level the spear once again. Unfortunately for her, Dragneel was already mere feet away. Pushing the weapon upwards with his left arm, he cocked his right back for a heavy haymaker. Knightwalkers eye's widened in realization as the fist landed across her face, staggering her back as she lost the grip on the Ten Commandments. Spitting out some fresh blood, she looked upon her opponent in anger as he simply tossed her pride and joy away, the long staff clattering to the ground far out of reach. "DAMN! He managed to disarm me this easily! Nobody has ever done that!" her internal voice raged as he smirked at her.

"So...Ready to give up?"

"NEVER!" The huntress yelled out before charging forward. Faking a jab, her enemy started to commit before realizing his blunder as the woman's right fist connected with his jaw. The resounding crack echoed through the air, but was short lived as Dragneel fired off a heavy punch into her stomach. Spitting up some saliva mixed with blood as she doubled over, Erza grabbed his arm in a vice grip. Rolling backwards, she pulled Dragneel with her as she kicked him over her body. Hearing a loud 'Oooffph!" of expelled air, Knightwalker completed another roll before finding herself straddling his chest. Not giving him a chance to recover, she sent punch after punch into his face as her clenched fist connected with his flesh. Feeling both her hands grabbed by Dragneels, he looked at her in a cold stare before head-butting her, causing her vision to swim.

"Yeah..enough of that shit" he muttered before pushing her off and onto the ground. Wiping away the blood trickling down his chin, he spat out a bloody glob as the double of Erza climbed to her feet. Grasping her head while the ringing slowly faded, she couldn't help but smirk at this male before her.

"I must say...nobody has lasted this long against me"

"Yeah...your strong no doubt about it...But it's time to end this" Dragneel responded as he popped a kink in his neck.

"Oh...but this fight is finally getting FUN!" Knightwalker roared out, a slightly murderous gaze in her eyes. Running forward, She fired out a heavy kick to his side, but it was thwarted as he grabbed her limb. Holding it against his side, Natsu let loose with a heavy uppercut as his fist hit the woman right underneath her jaw. Letting the soldiers leg go, she staggered back, the renewed assault on her head causing dizziness. Feeling a another heavy blow to her abdominal's, she felt like throwing up before sinking to her knees. "What...? But how? I've always been the strongest..." the red-head asked herself in confusion as she clutched her stomach. Looking up at the man, she could barely see him through the fuzziness of her vision as his fist crashed into her cranium one last time. Immediately blacking out, Erza Knightwalker was defeated in less than five minutes of combat with Natsu Dragneel.

Letting out a heavy sigh, he picked up the fallen woman as he cradled her in his arms like a new bride. Walking up to the Edolas mages, he looked Lucy right in the eye. "Do you have a place for the wounded to rest?"

"Yes. But what makes you think you can leave her here? She'll try to kill us the moment she wakes" the blonde asked with anger laced in her voice.

"She wont. Knightwalker gave her word as a soldier and she wont break it. I'm exactly the same way. Plus, there really isn't much you can do to stop me" he replied with cold eyes as he stared into the blondes soul. Gulping heavily, Ashley simply nodded before leading the way. "Those eyes...so much blood and death..."

Walking through the guild, she pointed to a room in the back as many of her guild mates followed her in along with several of the Royal soldiers. Giving an audible grunt as he walked past, Dragneel laid her down in one of the beds. Making sure nothing was broken, he gave a soft smile as he looked down at her face. "I knew she was strong..."

Closing the door behind him, he looked at the soldiers of the Second War Division. "Your commander has made a wager and lost. You have all witnessed what just two of us can do with our magic. I recommend that your second in command takes your force and patrol the southern border of you kingdom. I heard that there could be dangerous dark mages there..."

Gulping heavily, the captain knew that his men had no chance against such firepower as he studied the man with scars before him. "Of course! Thank you for the information"

"But if you let your commanders know, the dark mages would get away... I suggest you make haste and search for the rest of the day with no interruptions..." Dragneel replied as he studied the quivering man. Snapping a smart salute, he simply nodded before making a beeline for the flying beasts in their charge with the rest close behind. Within minutes they were gone, flying to the deep south as Sue simply chuckled.

"You had them scared shitless, Natsu. I could see the sweat forming on them"

"That was pretty funny. Kinda surprised you didn't fight harder though?" Sam mentioned as she leaned against the bar.

"Well I didn't want to break her bones, just wanted to test her...and what the hell was that cheering for Knightwalker crap?" The scarred man asked as he re-equipped his armor back on, much to the sadness of the females.

"I figured somebody should root for her? I mean she was going to lose the minute she accepted your wager" the brunette said with a shrug.

"Wait...you KNEW she was going to lose? Just how strong are you?" Levy asked the double of Natsu as he stood near a pillar in the middle of the hall. "Unbelievable. He defeated the strongest soldier of the military in minutes and sent the remainder packing. Not to mention that pair over there wiped out the fourth with ease"

"My boyfriend here can level a small city of maybe...thirty to forty thousand? The point is, he could've vaporized the whole attacking army with one blast"

"That's unbelievable.." Edo Cana let out before the earlier words caught up to her. "Wait...did you say boyfriend? As in your betrothed?"

"Jesus fucking christ your weird. Yes he's my boyfriend. And no, I have no plans on marrying him in the immediate future...but someday would be nice" Cana smiled with a small hint of blush adorning her cheeks.

"See? This is why your a bunch of candy-ass schoolgirls. You prance around looking good for Natsu and dream of wearing stupid dresses when all he cares about is your strength and your love for each other...not that I care about that..." Sam mumbled the last part.

"But Sam? I thought you said you loved him in the middle of the guild?" Happy asked before being lifted up by the mentioned woman.

"WHAT WAS THAT!? Everybody knows something was in the water to make me cry that day!" she roared while shaking the little cat. Watching the antics of his Sergeant, Glenn leaned in close to Mira before speaking in a low voice. "Sam took almost a year and a half to finally confess she loves Natsu. She doesn't like to be reminded about her 'moment of weakness' the male Gear concluded before Dragneel cleared his throat.

"Okay everybody listen up! I'm gonna be heading to the capitol to help my other comrades. Sam and Erza will stay here to make sure you guys stay safe...and to make sure Knightwalker doesn't do anything rash when she wakes up. I'll be taking the rest of my team with me. Now, do you have transportation?" he asked the gathered mages as Dragion stepped forward.

"I..I have my magical car in the garage. I can get you to the city within the hour"

"Good. Glenn, Sue, Cana...lets go. Hopefully we don't have to do anything and the others already beat this king Faust down" he simply said with a shrug. Watching the group move down a hallway to the back, Ashley couldn't help but growl in annoyance. "I have to see how strong he is! If he can beat Knightwalker, this could be an opportunity of a life time!"

"Grrr...Fuck it! I'm going too! Levy, you have the shop!" the busty blonde shouted over her shoulder before running down the hall. Un-noticed to her, Sam was giving a healthy glare into her back. "Now why would she be interested in following at the last minute..."

"So I know this is a very...unusual day, but we can tell you how we plan to help your world and how we already knew of Knightwalker" Erza asked the gathered members.

"That would be interesting!" Wendy cheered out as the busty blunette took a seat near Mira and Lisanna.

"Alright. It all stated when Dragneel got shot at Halvo Bay..."


Outskirts of the Royal City...

The group of four mages and single exceed had not encountered a single misstep on their journey so far. When they had first emerged from the portal, the group had found themselves on a simple wooded path. Following the roadway, they had come across the bustling metropolis of the Royal City. The central spire extending far higher than the 'Magnolia Gate" back home. Proceeding into the outlying suburbs, they started to take note of their surroundings.

"Is this where you come from, Mystogan?" Wendy asked in awe as she looked at the many stores and shops.

"Yes. But it has been a very long time since I was banished" the man in the dark cloak replied as he walked next to Gajeel.

"Oh yeah...Levy said you were kicked out for trying to stop your father..pretty raw deal" the black haired male replied.

"It was. But we must get off this main road. While the three of us can blend in, Mira and Juvia are wanted dark mages here" he finished before indicating a side alley. Moving down the narrow pathway with discretion, the group walked past overflowing garbage dumpsters and other piles of refuse.

"Ugh...this is gross..." Mira complained as she felt something rotting brush against her arm.

"Juvia agrees. She will need a shower with Natsu after this"

"You do realize I'll be the one to spend some alone time with Natsu?" the white haired beauty relayed as they came to an intersection. Seeing it was clear, the five sprinted across before Juvia looked at Mira, annoyance in her eyes.

"Juvia is the superior lover. Natsu will choose her"

"Must be nice...living in such disillusion..." the beauty smirked back. The rainwoman was about to retort, but was silenced by the white cat.

"You two need to be quiet. We're trying to sneak and don't need to get caught because of your squabbling" Carla chastised while walking alongside Wendy. The comment from the cat surprisingly silenced the two women, the duo realizing the error of their ways as they continued to move through the alley-ways and side streets of the capital. For the next twenty minutes, the five walked in silence as they moved closer to the central palace.

"Doesn't really matter if your quiet or loud anyway..end of the road" Gajeel mentioned as the party emerged onto another main thoroughfare. Looking around, Mystogan could not see any adjoining alleys as the group of five tried to mix in with the throngs of people making their way about town. Moving with a large group of shoppers, the five walked past a side street that had several Royal Knights out on patrol. Strangely, a large, black cat-man seemed to lead them with a large sword strapped to his belt.

Pantherlily had found the day starting out pleasant, but that had quickly soured when he heard the latest reports from Knightwalker and Sugarboy. They had been closing in on Fairy Tail with their two divisions. That had been over an hour ago, and yet there had been no word. "It is very unusual. Knightwalker would not be taken by those mages even with the strong hatred she has for Sugarboy and his men. She knows how to set aside grudges for the betterment of the kingdom. But ever since that latest report...nothing. Not a single message. Could they have failed somehow?" he thought to himself before recognizing two high value targets.

"HALT! You five!" he bellowed out as he saw several of his targets. Calling forth his men, they quickly surrounded them as the five got into combat stances.

"What is an exceed doing traveling with human's? And is that the reporter Gajeel? What is he doing with known criminals?" The commander of the first division thought before seeing a face he hadn't seen in years.

"J..Jellal? Prince Jellal!? Is that you!?" he exclaimed in wonder as he walked up, barely believing his eyes.

"It is me old friend. I see your in good health" the azure haired man replied with a small tug of his lips, his eyes betraying his emotions.

"Commander! We must apprehend these two dark mages! The fact that the former prince is traveling with them means he has sided with the enemy!" yelled out one soldier as he readied a short sword, electricity snapping across the blade.

"Yes...you are correct..." Pantherlily replied as he too pulled a blade free.

"Heh...Hey Mysty. Why don't you take the girls and keep moving toward the palace. I'll take care of the big guy here" Gajeel mentioned as he cracked his knuckles, a look of absolute delight coming across his face.

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah. Besides, I have to fight Pantherlily and bring him home to Fairy Tail like they did in that other universe. What better time than now"

"Very well. Good luck Gajeel" the former prince replied before running off with the three women and small exceed in tow. The low level soldiers quickly gave chase, eliciting a small laugh from the dragon slayer.

"What's so funny? And what did you mean by 'other universe' Gajeel?"

"Oh. Just that Mira or Juvia could have killed your whole platoon with ease...like scary easily. As for the other universe, I was talking about the guild in 551-G. I guess they did this whole Edolas thing and you've been a member of my team there for a few months now? Honestly, Levy or Dragneel could explain in better. But basically, there are infinite you's and infinite me's" the male replied as he continued to stretch.

"I see...so this 'other' Pantherlily has joined Fairy Tail and went against the Royal Kingdom?"

"No. See. I'm from Earthland which is the opposite of Edolas. There are infinite versions of Earthland with their own versions of Edolas attached to them. Like right now our friends from universe 200-AB are fighting their own battle in that different version of Edolas"

"Fascinating..." the muscular exceed replied as he lowered his sword. "Tell me...what are your goals here?"

"Now why should I tell you? After all, your an enemy right now"

"That is true...And it doesn't pay to reveal your plans to the enemy. Very well. We will meet in a test of strength! The victor decided the fate of the vanquished!" Pantherlily roared out as he ran across the cobble-stone road, sword in hand.

"HELL YEAH! NOW WE"RE TALKING!" Gajeel yelled in excitement as he formed his right arm into a heavy blade. Meeting in a heavy clash, the dragon slayer could see the surprise and confusion crossing his opponents features.

"H...How is this possible?" the large exceed cried out as sparks skipped across their blades.

"Oh...didn't I mention...I'm a dragon slayer? I could literally eat your sword right now if I wanted" the man let out with a smirk as his opponent jumped back.

"Unbelievable...a man that can turn his limbs to metal..."

"Better pay attention!" Redfox yelled out as he brought his blade down in a heavy, downward strike. The cracking and shearing of metal told Pantherlily his prized weapon broke as he tossed the useless hilt away. The object clattered to the ground near a certain black haired reporter who had joined the throngs of people watching the fight between this strange man and the commander of the first Division.

"So...Blades are useless against you. Very well. Then we will settle this with our own hands!" the black furred exceed relayed as the sword arm of his opponent disappeared. Rushing forward once more, the two combatants meet in a flurry of punches and kicks as the two grasped for dominance. For ten whole minutes they fought, exchanging blows on an almost equal basis as neither seemed to gain the upper hand.

Landing a heavy punch to Gajeel's solar plexus, Pantherlily let out a momentary smirk of victory before a spinning round-house kick smashed into his jaw. Staggering back, Lily slightly shook his head before unleashing a heavy uppercut into his opponents chin. Falling backwards, Gajeel was on his feet in moments as he spit out a rivulet of blood onto the street.

"Oh yeah...your one tough bastard..." Gajeel muttered in admiration, he body covered with several cuts and bruises.

'Likewise. You are quite formidable"

"Too bad we can't keep fighting all day" the man uttered as he ran forward, catching Lily's hands in his own as the two had another power struggle. Muscles straining while veins bulged, the giant cat did the only thing he could think of. Head butting Gajeel in one swift move, the man let out a soft groan before doing the same.

"Heh...Bet your gonna wake up with a headache after that one" the dragon slayer teased before the exceed tried to headbutt him again. Seeing the pain washing across the furry face, Gajeel struck forward with his skull once again. The sound of skull meeting skull filled the air as the onlookers began to worry. Releasing his grip from the blinding pain flashing before his eyes, Patherlily tried to regain his bearings. "That was foolish...of course his head feels like a steel wall..."

Not willing to give his opponent a chance to recover. Gajeel set out to finish off the fight. Landing a heavy blow to the commanders abdominal's, the cat doubled over spitting up some saliva mixed with a few specks of blood. Looking up with blurry eyes, Lily could see the fist flying to his face.

"Looks like I lose..." were his final thoughts before the cold darkness of unconsciousness took hold.

Looking down at the exceed, Gajeel gasped for breath as he slowly lowered his extended arm. "Man...he was a tough opponent...but now I'll have the strongest Exceed in Fairy Tail! Take that Dragneel!" the man cheered before realization struck. "Oh shit! I still have to help the others!" Looking around, he didn't see any of the soldiers before sighing in annoyance. Bending down, he quickly picked up the unconscious commander in a fireman's carry. Making sure he was secure, Gajeel set off to the palace, ready to lend a hand.


The Royal Palace...

"So. What makes you stupid girls think you can attack the palace? Especially when my division outnumbers you hundreds to your five?" Hughes asked Mirajane and the others as his soldiers surrounded them outside the palace gates. Even now, the Captain of the third war division couldn't believe his amazing luck. Some of the most wanted members of Fairy Tail had just strolled up to the gate, without a single care in the world. Add in the exiled prince, and this could become a very fortuitous catch for him.

Ignoring the snide comment about her intelligence, Mira simply pulled the large locust machete from her back. The blade had been a gift from Erza after all. While she could never reach the level of swordsmanship her friend/rival displayed, she had picked up many things over the years of sparring with the red-head. Planting the blade point down in front of her, she looked at the man with cold, hateful eyes.

"There's several reasons why your about to lose this fight. One. I am the Mirajane from Earthland...the same place that your bastard of a king has been trying to suck dry of magic without a care of who or what gets taken. Two. I have been in heavy combat against monsters far more dangerous than you or your men could possibly imagine. The third reason is what they call me back home..."

"Oh? And what's that? You know what? It doesn't matter. I think before your executed, me and my men will have a good time ravishing your body along with your blue haired friends" he smirked as the white haired woman's eyes gained unbelievable rage.

"Uh-oh...now he did it" mentioned Juvia as the woman stood near Mystogan, Wendy, and Carla.

"Did what?" asked the man as Mira slowly lifted her blade.

"Basically, this past summer Mira was captured by some really awful dark mages. They were going to gang rape her. Luckily Natsu showed up in time. But now...if any man threatens her with that, she gets really mad. Like murderously mad. This fool just signed the death warrants of every soldier under his command" Juvia said softly before resting a comforting hand on Wendy's shoulder. Hearing the rainwoman's words, Mystogan called out to Hughes.

"Commander! Stand down before she kills you! You don't know the power of Earthland's mages!" Jellal shouted out, trying to lessen the bloodshed.

"It's too late Mystogan...he made his choice..." Mira uttered darkly as her body slowly transformed. Horns sprouting from her head while a tail extended from her back, her skin gained a demonic look as her fingers sharpened. Forming a ball of purple energy in her left hand, she fired it at a large group of soldiers, vaporizing them instantly as their last screams gave testament to the woman's power. Adjusting the wings on her back, she shot into the sky before powering up another blast of magic. Seeing several of the solders starting to flee, she pointed a hand down toward them.

"Die for your sins..." she whispered as the purple orb of magic slammed into a large concentration of fifty men. Bodies and severed limbs flew out from the epicenter, the carnage apparent as Hughes slowly sank to his knees. Feeling a fine mist kissing his skin, he reached a hand up to wipe it away. Looking at his fingers, they had come away bloody. "She vaporized them...completely..."

"Such...amazing power..." he whispered as the woman flew down to give chase. Watching as she stabbed one unfortunate man through the chest, he knew he couldn't look away as his whole command was slaughtered. The screams of panic...dying men...it was all around him as his force of five hundred soldiers was decimated. Mira was relentless as she hacked limbs and cleaved into necks, never letting up as blood splashed against her clothes. Hughes watched as a few lucky stragglers made their way into the palace, but knew that the few hundred royal guards remaining inside had no chance against such a force. Hearing a dull thud behind him, the commander of the third magical war division slowly looked over his shoulder at the approaching woman. Her clothes were coated with the blood of the fallen, the red stains fitting in nicely with her demonic features. Stopping before him, the man could feel her gaze boring down into his soul. Looking up into her eyes, he saw carnage and bloodshed beyond even Knightwalkers cold eyes.

"Tell me...have you ever carried out your threats against women?"

"I have..." Hughes said softly as tears threatened to spill from his eyes. "I guess monsters like me do need to be killed eventually..."

"At least your honest. I'll make it quick" Mira replied before pulling the blade back. Slashing forward, she decapitated the Third Division's commander in one fell swoop as his head came free. Rolling a few feet, it came to rest near the disemboweled body of one of his men.

"W...Was that really necessary?" Mystogan asked as he looked upon the fallen. Hundreds of broken bodies littered the landscape, the blood leaking from heinous wounds the man saw before looking back at the 'demon'

"Yes. You heard what they said. To be honest, I would be far more lenient if they just threatened my life" Mira replied before slowly changing back to her normal form. The squealing of tires nearby put the group on guard as a vehicle rounded the corner at the end of the street. Screeching to a stop mere feet away, six people emerged.

"Hey. We saw the explosions. Thought you could use some help...but looks like you took care of it" Dragneel mentioned as he walked up to his two other girlfriends.

"Holy shit! Is that Hughes!?" Ashley yelled out while pointing to the headless corpse.

"I guess?" Mira replied with a shrug as she cleaned the blade off with the dead man's clothing. Looking back, she saw a few faces missing. "So where are Erza and Sam?"

"Back with the rest of Fairy Tail with Knightwalker. Mainly to keep an eye on things though" Glenn mentioned before looking at Mystogan.

"So where is this damn machine? All these doubles running around gives me a headache"

"It's in the center of the palace...along with my father"

"You do realize he only gets one chance to surrender right? None of us are gonna risk him getting to that damn weaponized dragon of his' Cana simply said while the double of Jellal slowly nodded.

"I understand. Now let me lead the way" the azure male said out loud as he led the group through the large archway. Moving down the deserted hallways, not a single living soul could be seen as the mages moved further and further into the palace.

"I guess Mira really did scare them off" Wendy commented as she ran next to Dragion, the man giving her an odd look every now and then. "This is insane! These Earthlander's have decimated whole divisions since they got here barely two hours ago! Then there's 'him' the pinkette thought as he studied his double running before him, his rifle cradled across his chest as he kept a healthy pace. "sigh...why can't I be brave like that..."

Continuing to move with her strange party, Lucy Ashley still couldn't believe the blood covered mess Mira was. "I guess its true...she is from an opposite reality...but the real question is how to get Dragneel alone. A man like that doesn't come along everyday..." the blonde thought while watching the man stop at a corner before checking for threats.

"Juvia knows you've been watching her precious Natsu...she advises you to stay away..." the rain woman whispered into her ear.

"W..what? How did you know?" Lucy replied with a slight edge in her voice as she looked out the corner of her eye at the rainwoman.

"Juvia can tell. Many women back home have eyes for her precious Natsu. Now what to do with..."

"Juvia. We don't have time to mess around with your jealousy right now. We can deal with Lucy wanting to fuck me later so please pay attention" Dragneel scolded lightly as he moved up. Leaving the spluttering blonde behind, the rainwoman sped up to join her love. Spotting a few random soldiers, the men simply charged at the intruders. The silent slices of Cana's killing move ended them quickly as the deadly cards slit their throats with ease. Walking past the three dead corpses as blood pooled from the open wounds, the brunette stopped at a large door that ran almost twenty feet high.

"This is it. The throne room and Anima should be right past it" the cloaked man said softly.

"Jellal. We'll let you try to talk your father down, but don't take too long" the dragon-slayer commented before building up a large amount of magic in his hands. By now everybody had taken cover, trying to stay away from the sudden increase in heat. Reaching the size of a large beach-ball, Natsu unleashed it at the heavy stone door. The billowing dust and smoke filled the air as the entrance-way exploded inwards. Walking in, the twelve members including the two exceeds were face to face with the king and the remains of his personal guard.

"JELLAL! What is the meaning of this!? You were banished for a reason, you traitor!" Faust bellowed out as his eyes looked upon his banished son with the criminal dark mages.

"Father! Please stop what your doing! These mages from Earthland have discovered technologies that can help our kingdom! With their help, we can usher in a new golden age without the use of magic!"

"Preposterous! Magic is the only source of power this land will ever know!" the bearded man yelled out.

"Your wrong. My people developed without any sort of magic in our society. We invented computers, combustion engines, advanced medicines...even space flight" Glenn spoke up, hoping to sway the power mad king.

"Impossible..."

"No. It's not. The Seran's have developed on a completely different path than Earthland and Edolas" Dragneel replied as he cradled the large rifle in his hands.

"Could it be? No...they're lying. They wish me to step down to take all the magic for themselves. They're all enemies..." his crazed thoughts concluded before his mad eyes locked onto the pink haired man in armor.

"Capture them! We will harvest all the magic they have! Start with the pink haired man!" Faust ordered as a trooper with a crossbow fired at the target. The aim was off however as it headed straight for Cana, the woman not even knowing the danger she was in. Natsu did however as he roughly pushed her to the side, taking the deadly bolt meant for his beautiful card mage. Seeing her boyfriend fall backwards, Cana was at his side in an instant as she cradled his head in her lap. Tears forming in her eyes, she could see a few speckles of blood around the wound in his abdominal's as the shaft stuck out of his stomach.

"NATSU! Why did you do that?" she cried toward him as she stroked his face.

"Like I would let that bearded fucker take away my card mage" he smiled up at her with a groan of pain escaping his lips. Moment's later, Wendy was at his side with Happy and Carla. Looking up at the crying woman, Wendy gained her attention.

"CANA! I need you to hold him while Happy and Carla pull the arrow free. Once they do, I'll start healing him...it doesn't look to deep" the young woman told her companions. Nodding her head, Cana held him tight as the two exceeds did just that. Pulling the shaft free, blood soon started to leak out before Wendy started to wash her healing magic over the open wound, her face marked with concentration. Watching the whole transgression take place in the time frame of a minute, Juvia looked on the king with murderous rage in her eyes.

"Did you just try to kill Juvia's love!? YOU WILL DIE FOR THIS VILE ACT!" she screamed out as she started to march across the hall. Gathering her magic, she targeted the insane king as she uttered out her trademark move.

"Drain..."

Faust began screaming as the essence of life was forcibly pulled from his body, his hands quickly turning to husks as appendages started to crumble away, breaking off into dust.

"N...no...I...I..had all the power..." he let out in his last gasps before his body withered away to nothingness. Looking at all the gathered soldiers, Juvia looked at them as fear spread across their features.

'Lower your weapons! As the kings son, I am next in line for the throne. You will not attack my companions" the man stated as he marched across the hall.

"Bu...but sir! She just killed the king!" a random soldier yelled out as he held his sword at the ready.

"I realize that. But he attacked first. Plus...this one woman is more than capable of killing you all with ease. Now stand down" he finished with finality. Seeing the soldiers finally lower their weapons. Seeing the threat was over, he hurried over to Dragneel who was slowly sitting up.

"Ugh...can't believe I got shot by a shitty arrow..." he groaned out while slowly standing to his feet.

"Um...are you okay?" Dragion asked as the blood covered Mira checked the soldier for any new or missed wounds. "He just got shot and this other version of Juvia just killed the king! I should be shaking in my boots from what this means, but I'm strangely calm..."

"Heh. Wait til I let Sam and Erza know you got laid out by an arrow. Bet they won't let you live it down for weeks" Glenn smirked as Sue stood near his side.

"Oh kiss my ass, Parks" Natsu commented before looking down at Wendy. "Good job Wendy. Can't even tell I just got shot" he let out in a small smile before looking at Mystogan. "Hey, how about we go shut this thing down?"

"Yeah. It should be through here" Mystogan replied as he led Dragneel, Glenn, and Sue to the adjoining room. Walking in, the four could see a large machine thrumming with power as an adjoining control panel sat nearby. The machine proper stood nearly twenty feet tall and was covered with a purple metal as lines of clear tubing ran the height of the device. Walking over to the console, Jellal studied the interface for a few minutes before a small smile graced his lips.

"Well the good news is we wont have to destroy it. Also, if I reverse the properties we can drain all the magic from Edolas. This will cause difficulties for my people, but it's better than fighting over a dwindling resource over the next five years"

"So that's it? Seem's like the big guy could've done this all by himself?" Sue mentioned as she cocked a thumb toward Natsu.

"Pretty much. But once I activate it, everything with magic will be pulled to earthland. The exceeds, all the magical power in our homes and businesses...and you mages will be sucked through the reversal anima" Jellal finished as he looked at the others.

'That sounds like a giant pain in the ass. Let us portal back home before you pull the switch" Natsu finished before leaving the room. Spotting the rest of the group, he walked up to Happy.

"Hey little buddy. Looks like we're gonna be heading home soon" he smiled down at the little cat who was looking at the bolt covered with his blood.

"Really? Does that mean we can have a party for Edo Erza?"

"Eh...we'll see how she does the first day" he smiled at the cat before looking at his double and Lucy Ashley. "Hey, thanks for getting us to the city, Natsu. You got some sweet driving skills"

"Yeah...but I'm useless in a fight...I'm always so scared...How are you so fearless?" Dragion asked as he looked at his double. Sighing deeply, Dragneel rested his calloused palm on the pinkette's shoulders.

"Wanna know a secret? I'm always scared in a battle no matter who or what I'm fighting. Be it monsters, human's or whatever falls in between. I'm scared that I'll die and leave the women I love alone. I'm scared that some of them will fall in battle because I was too slow or weak. But...I take that fear and control it. I make sure that I fight to keep them safe...to keep my family and friends alive" he finished before looking down at Dragion. "Think you can do that?'

"I..I'll try..."

"No. You will do it. You will get stronger to keep Lucy and your guild safe from any and all threats. There is no middle ground for 'kind of' or 'maybe' ...do you understand?" as Dragneel's eyes hardened. Dragion was steeling his resolve as he looked at the scarred soldier.

"YES! I will get stronger!"

"Good" Dragneel smiled before looking at Lucy Ashley.

"We'll probably stop by in a day or so with what your kingdom needs to start rebuilding" he finished before pulling a familiar portal gun from his pocket dimension. Looking over his shoulder as the spinning vortex spun nearby, Natsu eyed Jellal. "You know...it's kinda nice meeting a Jellal that isn't a murderous psychopath. Just make sure to lead them right...and I guess you can visit sometime if you want" he replied before walking through the portal, following his group home.

"What a fucking man..." Lucy Ashley thought as she looked at her guild mate. "Well come on pinky. Might as well head home for now..."


With Edolas Fairy Tail...

"I see. Thank you for informing us Levy" Erza replied as the comm window quickly shut. Looking over at Sam, the brunette was still keeping watch over the unconscious form of Knightwalker who was simply propped up against a support pillar. Many of the mages still kept a wide berth from the woman, fearing her wrath even now. The past hour the entire guild had listened to Scarlet's tale of how their own Levy was cast into a parallel universe with the events of Edolas already concluded months before.

"I still can't believe there's infinite versions of me" Grey mentioned as he wrapped himself in another coat.

"What I can't get over is how you even wear that much clothing. We had to beat our Grey to keep his damn pants on...that damn ice block" Sam muttered before rising to her feet. Looking over at Wendy, the Sergeant let out a smirk as she studied the parallel. "You know...its kinda cool to see what a knockout Wendy becomes in a few years. Those poor boys will be in for a rude awakening when she kicks their asses. But hey, it should be safe now for your guild. Juv took down Faust and Jellal's in charge now. Two of the magical divisions have been wiped out and the others are scattered to the wind. Frankly put, you'll all be light mages again in a day or two tops"

"I still can't believe how much you accomplished in a few hours here" the busty blunette replied as she sat with Lisanna and Mira. Seeing the annoyed look crossing Scarlet's features, Lisanna voiced her concern.

"Is something wrong Erza?"

"Yeah...I DIDN"T GET TO DO ANYTHING! I was at least hoping to battle my double in an epic showdown of arms and female strength, but that boyfriend of mine had to steal the fight! I didn't even get a chance to fight a lowly soldier! Then Mira said all the Strawberry cheesecake was gone..." the woman trailed off as Sam promptly swung the double over her shoulder.

"Stow the shit, Erza. Your a fucking Gear so start acting like it" the brunette commented as a swirling blue vortex appeared before them. "Unbelievable...complaining about fucking dessert..." Sam trailed off as she walked through with the huntress slung over her shoulder.

"Is...that your universe?" asked Juvia as she studied the woman in armor. "These mages are insane! She was freaking out over dessert? But she's lucky to have that strong Natsu at her side..."

"The portal leads there, yes. And soon, you'll be able to do the same. Maybe a few of you could visit us in a few days? I just hope Grey is wearing pants then..." Erza muttered before waving a goodbye, her form disappearing into the swirling blue vortex as it snapped shut.

"This day...just changed the history of Edolas...and all because of a few people... I just can't wait to get a look at all the technology that other Levy was telling me about" the short woman mentioned.

"Well since this is a day to remember...lets have a party!" shouted out Bisca as the guild let out a cheer, the threat of attack lifted from their heads for the first time in years...


Universe 137-C

"Well that was certainly interesting. Never get to do anything with your squad, Glenn" Sue commented as the assembled mages gathered in the hall. Sam had already transferred the passed out woman to a new bed in the infirmary before rejoining the group near some tables.

"Well most stuff with my squad deals in killing locust, but yeah...this was pretty awesome" the asian man replied as Levy stood on top of the bar. "Alright you bastards! Listen up! I just received word that our friends in 200-AB were successful in their own mission. Not only did they topple a king and bring their own Knightwalker back, but they found their Lisanna safe and sound! Although...I guess it was weird in Edolas since the last two years there were two Lisanna's...hmmm...anyway! I'll be dropping off a bunch of research and technology manuals for our Edolas doubles hopefully by tomorrow. I'm also pleased to report that Natsu was the only casualty, taking a crossbow bolt like a little bitch" the short woman smirked as she teased her friend.

"HEY! It was to keep Cana safe!" the bunt of Levy's joke shot out in mock anger as Grey came sauntering up.

"So...how does it feel to be a little bitch?"

"I could fuck the double of your girlfriend right now if I wanted to...so how does if feel to be lamer than that...ice princess?" Natsu smirked knowingly as his rival glared daggers.

"I FUCKING KNEW IT! No way your screwing that blonde bimbo! I may be relaxed about everything in this relationship, but I"m not having you smell like blonde skank!" Sam roared before looking at the other girls in the harem. "We're establishing rules right now! Who knows what kind of bitch could sink her claws into him if we weren't around!?" the female gear yelled before grabbing the man by the collar and started to drag him across the hall.

"And where do you think your going after saying all that shit about another Lucy?" the celestial mage responded hotly.

"We can fight later blondie. Right now me and the others need to hammer out some rules for this fire bastard" Sam replied over her shoulder as Cana gave a small wave. "See you later Luce! Hope we can get drinks tonight!"

"Don't I get a say in this stupid shit?" Natsu asked as Mira slapped him upside the head.

"NO! Sam's right! If we're not careful, you'll impregnate half of the multiverse!"

"Indeed. I've already heard rumors of several fan girls of Natsu in town...this must be addressed"

"Plus if another woman bears Natsu's first child, Juvia will be devastated!"

Watching the group of six leave, Happy sat on Milliana's lap as he watched his father leave into the sunny winter's day. "I must say...I don't think I've ever seen Sam show signs of jealousy before.." the cat girl replied as she stroked Happy's head.

"Your right. But I like to think she's doing much better these days. Remember how cold she was when she first joined?" Alzack asked Bisca who let out a simple nod. Looking over, she could see Wendy treating herself to a slice of blueberry cheesecake as she sat with Carla, talking about the whole day in Edolas.

"You know Alzack...I have a feeling we're forgetting something..." the gun mage replied as she placed a finger on her chin while crossing another arm under her impressive bust, the woman deep in thought.


Edolas..

"What the hell is that thing!?" Gajeel cried out as he ran with Pantherlily down the street as men and women ran around in panic. A massive vortex hung in the air behind them, swallowing up the strands of magical power into its gaping maw. All the Exceeds had fallen victim to this monstrosity, the tiny cat's no match for its pull as more and more magic flowed into the crack in the sky.

"I don't know! But we will not fall victim to this!" Lily exclaimed before feeling his feet leave the ground. Starting to float above the sidewalk, the giant soldier was worried for his future existence before feeling a hand clasp his in an iron grip.

'I Gotcha! Don't let go!" the dragon-slayer bellowed as he planted his feet into the street, trying to create friction as his companion was being lifted higher. "No way am I losing my new friend to this...thing!" his thoughts raged in determination as he pulled with all his might.

"GAJEEL! LOOK!"

Following the pointing finger, the black haired man looked down to see that he too, was in fact floating above the street now. Looking up, their speed was increasing as the duo hurtled through the air toward the billowing vortex of purple energy.

"SHHHHHHHIIIIIIIITTTTTTT!" the two yelled out in fear and panic as they were swallowed whole, their destination unknown...


Magnolia. A few minutes later.

"Ughh...what the hell happened?" Pantherlily asked as he slowly stood up, brushing off the snow from his body. Looking down, panic filled his eyes as he realized his now short stature. "What happened to my body!?" the former captain cried out as Gajeel staggered out from behind a boarded up store. Ignoring the cat for now, the male took in his surrounding within moments. The familiar cathedral to the west, the massive Magnolia Gate to the south with the statue of Natsu and Juvia a few blocks away...and finally the familiar guild directly north of them.

"No way...we're back in Magnolia?" he mentioned casually as several citizens gave them odd looks.

"Where?"

"It's the town I live in. We're back in my universe...but how?" he asked himself before looking at his companion. "Come on. I bet Levy will know what happened with that big portal and with what happened to your body" he instructed as they started to walk down the snowy streets past numerous stores and homes.

"Will she be able to help us?"

"She pretty damn smart. Her and Natsu could explain it"

"Natsu Dragion? The coward?" Lily asked as he walked along the snow covered sidewalks. Hearing a sharp bark of laughter from his partner, the exceed looked up in confusion.

"Yeah...He's Natsu Dragneel here. Also he's one of the bravest men I know. But we'll get you up to speed on all this stuff in a day or so" Gajeel mentioned as he pushed the guild hall doors open. Inside the guild, members were laughing and joking while eating healthy meals. Lisanna and Kinana were bustling about serving tables as Levy talked with Grey and Lucy. Bisca and Alzack were nearby, thinking about taking a job tomorrow. Near the bar, Makarov was enjoying a frothing beer as he tried to oogle some of the busty girls.

"HEY! What the hell was with leaving me in Edolas!? I got sucked into some giant sky-vortex!" the dragonslayer roared as the guild stopped dead in their tracks.

'Well if you had listened during my briefing instead of taking a nap, you would know that was the anima! It was completely harmless when set in reverse! It's how the 551-G's got home in their reality! But your scrap-filled brain couldn't remember that!" the short woman yelled from her table as she stood up from her seat.

"Who's brain is scrap-filled you little runt!?" Gajeel shot back as the black exceed watched in curiosity.

"What did you say about my hair!?" Levy roared before jumping off the table. Starting to run across the hall, she was about to start a fight with the dragon slayer before a brown haired girl collided with him first.

"I don't believe he mentioned her hair at all..." as the black furred creature watched the crazy scene.

"AHHHHH! Gajeel! Your back!" Millianna cried with joy as she hugged the man she not so secretly liked. Straddling the man, she rubbed her face against his lovingly as the man tried to struggle against the insane female. Millianna finally opened her eyes after a minute of hugging, her fake ears twitching on top of her head as she finally spotted Pantherlily.

'Kitty" she simply said before lunging forward and scooping up the exceed. Twirling him through the air, a look of absolute bliss crossed her face. "Is he for me Gajee? He's so cute!"

"Please put me down miss. I am an officer in the Royal army and this is most uncomfortable"

"OH MY GOD! HE TALKS TOO!" she cried before clasping the cat in a large hug. Finally releasing the feline after a minute, she spun on Gajeel. 'Now we can finally form our team! What's his name?" she asked as the exceed finally wormed his way out of the unbalanced girls grasp. Jumping to the floor, he activated his magic as his body instantly transformed into his hulking form that towered over the shorter woman.

"It's Pantherlily. And I don't appreciate being hauled around like a everyday housecat" he said with iron in his voice while looking down at Milliana.

"Steel Panther...our team name is Steel Panther" she whispered in awe while the dragon slayer rubbed his head sheepishly. "I guess that's okay..."

"Yes! I'll go pick out a job right now!" she cheered before heading to the request board, leaving the two standing near the doorway.

"Yeah...sorry about her. She was a slave locked in a tower for almost half her life and cats were really the only thing to bring her happiness there. She's one of a handful of survivors"

"I see...that is very unfortunate...but she seems to be a very kind person even now" the large cat commented as his companion nodded.

"Millianna is. I just try to keep her out of trouble"

"That's because you liiiikeee her" teased Lisanna as she walked up with a guild stamp, a smile on her face. Seeing the dragon slayer turn away with a huff and a slight dusting of the cheeks, the youngest Strauss sister looked at Panterlily.

"So how about it? Wanna join our guild? We're going to ask Knightwalker when she wakes up too"

"Captain Knightwalker is here as well!?"

"She is. But she got her ass kicked by Natsu. Still knocked out in the infirmary"

"I see... I would like to wait for my comrade to wake before making my decision"

"Fair enough" Lisanna said with a shrug before walking back behind the counter to join Kinana.

"Unbelievable! Erza was taken down by these mages as well? She is one of the strongest warriors in the kingdom! Perhaps there is more to these men and women than meets the eye..." he thought as the crazy girl returned, waving a sheet of paper to assist in the building of new homes to the east of the city.


Several hours later...

Erza Knightwalker woke with a groan, her eyes fluttering open as she took in her surroundings. The last thing she remembered was fighting that scarred Natsu and losing before fading into oblivion. Pushing her recent loss to the back of her mind, she swung her legs off the bed as she continued to look around the room.

"It appears this is a room for healing..." she muttered before the door swung open and a familiar brown haired woman walked in.

"Ah good. Your awake. How you feeling?"

"Your name is...Sam correct? Where am I?' asked the red head as she finally stood up as she clamped down on the pain from her bruises.

"Yup. That's me. As for where you are, your in the Fairy Tail guild hall in Earthland"

"Those...weaklings? With their professions of friendship and love? I have no need for such weakness in my life"

"Yeah...it does get pretty annoying sometimes with all that mushy crap flying around. Don't even get me started on some of the women here! Always prancing around in skirts and dresses trying to show off their breasts or how cute they look. Load of fucking garbage if you ask me. Give me a tank-top, cargo pants, and my fucking combat boots any day of the week" she finished as Erza slowly nodded her head.

"So am I a prisoner here?"

"Nah. Natsu is actually hoping you'll join our guild. Then the three of us can go kill some evil mother-fuckers" Sam said with a hint of a smile.

"Why would I join your guild? As far as I know, I could go off and kill them myself without even having to join your mages"

"Cause despite how weird or fucking annoying they can be sometimes, this guild is the strongest Fairy Tail...in all the realities. Plus..." she trailed off before bursting forward. Powering up a blast of her 'Phoenix Fire' in her right hand, she pointed it straight at Knightwalkers face as beads of sweat started to pour down the skin. The crackling ball of red magic was covered in small bolts of electricity as she gulped heavily.

"S...such power..." the huntress trailed off as she felt the overwhelming killing intent from this simple orb of magic no larger than an apple. Gulping heavily, she looked past it into Sam's eyes. 'Her eyes...they're just like mine..."

"Just so you understand. There are dark mages stronger than me in this universe. Even with all my military training and the countless battles I've been in, there are still magical missions I can't undertake without Dragneel, Scarlet, or the other high class mages accompanying me. The strength of my boyfriend is so great he can destroy a small city with one attack. So...still think we're a bunch of fucking weaklings?"

Erza couldn't deny it. There was no way she could defeat such a woman with this much magical power. Add to the fact that there are mages even more powerful than her and she knew there was nothing she could do. Then she remembered how two of them had defeated the entire fourth division with ease earlier in the day.

"No..."

Feeling the heat finally ebb away, Erza slowly blinked before Sam turned and walked to the door. "Well come on. Can't stand there all day" Following the woman's footsteps, the Fairy Hunter braced herself for hostility as she walked out into the hall. There was none directed her way as several of the mages glanced at her, but paid the woman no mind as they continued with their own little conversations. Moving past numerous tables, she found it odd that earlier today she was trying to kill these mages..or at least their doubles. But it's like they didn't even care...that's when she spotted her double talking with a familiar face. Walking over, she stopped before Pantherlily and Scarlet.

"Ah good. Your finally awake. I was telling your friend here about some of the responsibilities and benefits of our guild" Scarlet commented as she looked at her twin.

"I see..." she trailed off before looking at the giant Exceed.

"They have been quite accommodating. I have been offered a position in their ranks, but thought it best to wait for you"

"Thanks. Sam displayed her power to convince me" she trailed off before spotting...Levy if she remembered correctly.

"You two. Do you plan on joining our guild?" asked the short woman with a facial scar.

"I intend to. It seems the best way to get stronger...I am at a severe disadvantage with most of you even if I had my spear"

"Same here. My physical strength wasn't enough to defeat even one of your mages"

"Well you need to learn about some shit first...namely our most hated enemy. Now follow me" the short woman commanded before leading them from the hall. Stepping out into the blistering cold, Erza could feel a tint of jealousy at the shorter mage in the heavy, yellow jacket.

'You could've warned me it was freezing outside" she muttered while falling into step behind the blunette.

"You'll be fine. It's only a few minutes away" Levy shot over her shoulder as the two walked up a short road to a multi-story dormitory. Walking inside a few minutes later, the trio walked up the stairs before entering a room near the end of a hallway. Walking inside, Levy indicated two seats as she grabbed a magical orb labeled 'Sera' Seeing the two already seated, she turned to face them. "This is recordings of every single battle that Sam and her squad has fought through since we found Natsu over a year and a half ago. Most of it has taken place in her home universe, but a big one was fought here as well this past summer. This war we help the Seran's fight is unparalleled destruction and genocide you could never imagine back home. I've even taken recording's of 'Day One' and 'Hammer Day.' If you find the need to pause it, the word is 'Rise' Once your done...come back to the hall and give us your answer then" the short woman finished before setting the glowing object down after powering it up. Walking to the door, she paused before looking at them with sad eyes.

"I'm sorry for all the new nightmares your going to get from this..." she finished before walking out. Moments later, the duo were transported to a large, bustling city that appeared far more technologically advanced than their own. Staying silent, the two began to wonder what was supposed to happen before a large intersection collapsed inwards on itself. Large limbs shot out of the ground before what could only be described as a giant arachnid with rows upon rows or razor sharp teeth rose from the earth. It was not alone as several humanoid monsters with beady, yellow eyes and gray skin climbed out as well. Immediately the monsters started firing, killing any humans they could see. Men, women, children...it didn't matter to them as the abominations continued to kill amonst the screams of the wounded and dying...


Later that night...

Erza and Pantherlily were walking to the hall almost in a trance after watching what could only be described as a war of genocide. The woman's hands were shaking, not from the cold, but from what she had just learned.

"Th...that was madness...I've never dreamed such vileness and horrors could even exist..." she finally voiced out, her words cracking. "Whole continents! GONE! BILLIONS DEAD! Orbital firestorms brought forth in an effort to stop subterranean monsters... And Echo squad! They could've killed all of us with ease..."

"Yes...these mages are far more deadly and battle hardened than any soldier I've ever met..." Lily replied as he walked in the snow, his tiny foot steps in stride. Approaching the guild doors, they pushed them open before walking in and closing them behind them. Seeing the numerous mages, the duo could see them cast in a whole new light.

"The atrocities they've witnessed...And my double...the horrors she's had to commit with her own hands" the huntress thought before looking into the steady eyes of Natsu Dragneel. He was flanked by Mira and Juvia as he stared into her soul form his seat.

"His eyes...so much death and suffering...the blood and carnage... He could've killed me whenever he pleased if I angered him in the slightest...they truly are the strongest!" she concluded before sinking to her knees. Bracing her palms against the wooden floor, Erza could feel tears trickling down her face at the nightmares these men and women had witnessed.

"Please...please let us help you kill these monsters. I've done bad things in my life...but these...these abominations need to cease to exist! Them and all the vile, evil beings you've encountered throughout the realities!" the red-head shouted out before feeling a few footsteps approaching. Looking up, she saw Samantha Bryne standing there with her Ten Commandments clasped in her right hand. The spear was standing vertically next to the woman who gave a knowing grin.

"If your gonna be killing evil, your gonna need a weapon. I think this should do for now" Sam replied as Knightwalker slowly stood and took her weapon back. "Welcome to Fairy Tail you two" she finished as the red-head let out a small smile.

"SWEET! NOW WE CAN DRINK!" cheered out Cana the whole guild erupted into cheers.

"Wait...what?" Knightwalker asked in shock as the numerous mages started to laugh, drink alcohol, and enjoy healthy food. The sounds of joyous conversation filled the air as the mages celebrated with their own little groups or completely intermingled. "They're...happy someone like me is joining?" she asked herself as Milliannna pulled Pantherlily away to celebrate with Gajeel and some of the other members.

"It's a tradition" Mira smirked before pressing a frothing mug of beer into the stunned woman's hands. Taking a sip of her own, she gave a smirk at this version of Erza who took a small drink.

"Now come on, I'll show you around the hall. You can probably leave the spear near the bar though" the white haired woman said while the huntress complied. A minute later her hand was free of her weapon as she slowly followed Mira through the hall. It was a whirlwind of names and people. She met the counterparts of Lucy and Grey, the woman surprisingly like the other blonde. The introduction to Wendy Marvell was interesting, the young woman gushing about how awesome Sam was with her training. The Thunder Legion seemed friendly enough, but she found it odd how Elfman called her 'manly' despite her obvious female form. This was the tour she was on as she was shown the game room in the basement, the pool table taken over by Macao and Wakaba as Warren played darts with Romero, the young man spending time with his father and friends. Next, Mira showed her the small armory in the back, the woman explaining that all the weapons were of Seran manufacturing. Lastly, they stopped near a wall that had numerous pictures of the mages.

"And lastly, Cana's wall of madness. I think over half of these have Sam in them though.." the woman replied as Knightwalker took another drink from her mug.

"I believe you are right. She does seem to be in many of them" she voiced out while looking at several of the pictures. One had Sam and Lucy locked in an arm wrestling match, the two battling for supremacy. Another had her standing over the beaten forms of several men in the hall, a scowl on her face as the remains of food rested in her hair. Tracking her eyes left, she saw another of the woman in a blue skirt and white vest as she powered up two orbs of magic. The fury on Sam's face was evident as many mages were seen trying to flee the furious woman.

"You know...you two are alot alike. Both have strong military bearings...no families growing up. You both had to use your wits and strength to survive. To be honest, she might see a kindred spirit within you" Mira trailed off before pointing at one particular picture. The photo displayed Sam and Lucy in a kiss near a tree glistening with decorations. "This was taken only last week. The two of them thought they could get the other to back down, hehe. But instead they beat the crap out of each other. Poor Wendy worked so hard all the decorations too" the woman chuckled as Erza looked at the next picture. It was Lucy holding Sam in a stranglehold of tinsel, the two standing among the wreckage of holiday decorations.

"Hey MJ! Quit hogging the new girl!" Natsu cheered out as the man shared a couple large pizzas with Sam and his girlfriends. Levy and Wendy were having some too as the three exceeds talked among themselves nearby. Walking over, the woman scooted in next to Cana while Knightwalker sat next to her double and Wendy. Seeing a few slices pushed toward her on a plate, the huntress looked at the young girl next to her in confusion.

"What is it?"

"It's pizza miss Knightwalker! It's really good!" the blunette said with a smile before taking a small bite. Observing the actions of the others, the redhead took a bite and slowly chewed. Her eyes shot open in amazement, the flavors of sauce, cheese, and meat hitting her taste buds at once.

"A..Amazing! I've never tasted such food before!" she said loudly before taking another bite.

"Glad you like it. Natsu made everything here while you were on your little tour with Mira" Scarlet replied as she took a bite from a cheesy breadstick.

'I see..the meal is very good. Thank you" she replied as Sam simply scoffed.

"You don't need to be so formal. Relax for once and enjoy yourself" the brunette replied before taking a gulp of her beer.

"I...will try to enjoy myself" she told the woman across from her. Nodding her head, the woman let out a smile before looking at Juvia, the busty rainwoman sitting on the other side of Erza. "Hey. Remember when we all switched bodies?"

"Juvia remembers that day! She was in Natsu's wonderful body! She could feel the strength and power..." the woman said whistfully as she hugged herself.

"Don't forget you and Lucy switched then promptly stripped down in the middle of the hall before starting to fight!" Mira let out with a chuckle. Looking over, she could see Knightwalker trying not to find amusement with the stories as the mages continued to talk and laugh, sharing many strange and pleasant memories with the woman as they continued to drink and party late into the night...


8:07 A.M. The next morning...

Erza Knightwalker's eyes slowly fluttered open as sleep finally left her. The beam of sunlight poking through the window had hit her directly, causing the early rise as she slowly sat up. Looking around, the woman could see she was in a living room with fine furniture with a fireplace at the end of the room. A scaly scarf was draped above it, but this was of little concern to her. Looking further around, she could see the slumbering forms of Bisca and Levy cuddled together as a half-filled bottle of rum rested nearby, the contents spilling onto the hardwood floor. Rising up, Erza ignored them as she started to explore the house. Walking past the staircase in the foyer, she could only see a few closed doors on the second level before continuing on. Finding herself in the kitchen,she found herself at a junction for two hallways. One led to the left further into the house while the other to the right ended after twenty feet. Choosing right, she passed through the doorway as the sound of light machinery reached her ears. Erza had stepped into a large garage with many different tools, hoists, and manufacturing presses.

"Oh hey, your awake" Natsu simply said as he sat as his work bench with Happy sitting nearby. Walking over, she saw a long rifle being worked on with parts of a dis-assembled scope sitting nearby. A pile of blueprints sat to his right as her curiosity took over.

"What are you working on?" as she picked up some of the blueprints. "Re-equip amplifier? I.V.D. vehicle jack? Jupiter Tanks? Lacrima Scorcher?" she said to herself as she continued to read off the names.

"Natsu's working on a special gun for Bisca! It's her christmas gift since Natsu was really hurt at the time" Happy said out loud as he handed his father a small screwdriver.

"Oh? Is this one of those Seran weapons?" she asked as she took a seat on a nearby stool.

"Sure is. I'm increasing the bullet capacity from four to five and making a high-focus scope" he replied evenly before pointing to a wall nearby covered with guns. "If you want, you can pick out a gun for yourself? Then maybe we can head into the city and get you some clothes...unless you prefer only having a single outfit"

Erza scowled. Well she had been thrown out of sorts by the videos from the Seran/locust war, she figured it was a momentary lapse in weakness as she glared at the man.

"Okay, what gives. Why the hell are you all being so damn nice to me! I was the 'Fairy Hunter!' I know you and your friends have witnessed genocide beyond belief, but that just means you should hate me! Not trying to give me weapons and take me shopping!" she ranted as the man turned toward her, his arms crossed over his muscular chest.

"Your right. you were the Fairy Hunter. You've killed many people including versions of Laxus, Gildarts, and a few others...not to mention other guilds in Edolas. But I can easily look past that since I have more blood on my hands. Same with Scarlet, MJ, and many of the others. But do you want to know the main reason why we brought you here? Why I seeked you out in the first place?"

"Why?" she asked coldly, her arms crossed under her chest.

"Because you are the sixth mate for me. I'm a dragon slayer...a prince in fact. But one thing that I desire is strong, independent women. I want them to fight! To be ready to kill their enemies with me at their side! I will not accept a weak woman that can't fight her own battles"

"Grrr...so what!? You expect me to become some doting housewife ready to pop out fucking kids! I'm not some fucking weakling bitch that needs to prance around with an apron cooking while waiting for her man to get home!" she snarled out as the man started to chuckle.

"Oh yeah...that's the kind of fire I like..." he smirked as Happy giggled.

"She acts just like Sam!" as the little cat continued to laugh while sitting on the bench. Looking away with a snarl on her face, Erza soon felt a hand on her shoulder. Looking back, she saw Natsu looking intently at her.

"I don't want you to change who you are. Your a warrior...a soldier...a killer. All I ask is that help us kill our enemies. Plus who knows? You might want to sleep with me someday" he smirked knowingly as the woman scoffed.

"The only way that will happen is if I will it to happen. I won't fall for your tricks of seduction like those other girls in your house"

"Heh. That's all I ask. Now how about we head out to get you some clothes...and maybe some breakfast?" he asked as the woman's stomach grumbled.

"Fine..." Knightwalker relented as the trio headed to the large truck at the far end. Climbing in as her companions did the same, she couldn't help but be impressed by the vehicle as the garage door slid open. Natsu and Happy were soon in as well, the truck rumbling to life as the man started to drive down the snowy covered road. Looking out the window, she watched the landscape drift by as the wooded forest became snow covered buildings. Minutes passed in silence, the female not interested in idle small talk as Natsu finally parked at the side of a busy road. Getting out, she realized they were in some sort of shopping district as Natsu led the way to a pancake house with Happy flying nearby.

"Here. We can get some breakfast" he simply told her before the duo walked in. An hour later they were coming back out, their bellies fortified with food as she started to follow him down the street. Soon they were walking into a women's clothing store...well Erza did. Natsu elected to stay outside with Happy as she cocked a confused eyebrow at him in the doorway

"I hate shopping. I'm only doing this because you have one thing to wear" he finished before handing her several hundred thousand bills worth of jewel. Taking the strange currency, she simply shrugged before walking inside. Most of the items were dresses or women's winter fashion, which she dismissed immediately. Moving further into the store, she finally started seeing things she could stomach wearing. Grabbing several pairs of black cargo pants along with numerous scarlet tank tops, she headed to the dressing room. Pausing at a rack for lingerie, she grabbed those too for her large assets. "Yeah...I have nothing here except my spear. Sickens me I have to rely on the kindness of others" she told herself before starting to change in one of the rooms. She found the tank-top to be a perfect fit, hugging her breasts quite nicely as she let out a knowing smile. "I have to admit though...for a man that has seen evil incarnate, he can be thoughtful...at least he doesn't sit out there cheering women on for what they shop for..." she finished before stepping out of the stall fifteen minutes later. Spotting a black leather jacket about her size, Erza grabbed that too before heading to the register. Spotting a few novels that caught her eye, she grabbed the first two volumes of 'The Lustful Fire Knight" before placing everything on the counter. "I'm supposed to be in a harem...but I don't know anything about romance. Perhaps these books can help?" she concluded before looking at the cashier.

"I wish to purchase these items" Erza simply said as she handed the money over. Watching the cashier take the currency, Knightwalker simply observed the transaction as she tried to learn more of this new universe. Minutes later she was walking out with her bags in hand, her new jacket wrapped around her torso as it kept the cold at bay.

"Not bad. Only took you twenty minutes" Natsu commented as Happy built a small snow-cat nearby.

"I pride myself on my efficiency" Knightwalker stated as the trio was soon heading toward the guild in the packhorse, the heavy vehicle familiar to many natives of Magnolia. Walking into the hall, Natsu noted it wasn't a disaster area for once as Knightwalker decided to go change into her new outfit, figuring she bought them for a reason. Already, several mages were in the hall enjoying breakfast as Natsu walked over to his girlfriends.

"Yo Dragnell! We missed you at breakfast!" Sam let out as a box rested near her feet.

"Yeah. Took Knightwalker to get some clothes and pancakes. Can't have her walking around in the same clothes day to day" he finished before sitting down next to the brunette. Cana was up in a flash, switching spots as she planted her finely shaped buttocks next to Natsu before sticking her tongue out at Juvia. Slowly clenching her fists, the rainwoman glared at the cardmage as her eye slowly twitched.

"Juvia believes that was her spot..." she muttered darkly as Cana planted a kiss on Natsu's cheek, teasing the blue haired mage.

"Sorry blue. You snooze you lose"

Chuckling at the antics of his girls, they were soon joined by Knightwalker as she sat down in her new attire next to Scarlet. Pulling her new novel from her back pocket, the huntress started to read as Mira leaned in closer.

"You do realize your reading a smut novel in the middle of the guild, right?"

"I'm well aware. But if I'm going to be in a harem with all of you bimbo's, I should learn about this romance stuff? Like this part here? Why would the man bring her dead flowers?" the red-head indicated a certain passage with her finger.

"That's a romantic gesture. Most women like flowers cause they smell nice" Scarlet replied as her double nodded in understanding. Looking up at Sam, she pointed to another passage. "Have you participated in one of these...picnics?"

'No...what are they?" asked the Sergeant as Mira simply slapped her palm to her forehead.

"Talk about the blind leading the blind..." the Strauss woman uttered out before looking at the two. "It's a lunch date outside...usually in spring and summer...which Natsu hasn't taken me on!"

"What do you want from me? It's freezing outside and you know I'm not good with all that romance crap anyway" he said with a wave before snapping his fingers. "Hey Knightwalker. Have you decided on a guild stamp yet?"

"That's right! We still have to make you official!" Mira said loudly before running to the bar. Returning later, she looked at the scarlet woman. "Where and what color?"

"Crimson. Right shoulder" she simply replied before going back to the book in her hands. 'Interesting...apparently its common practice to have sex after a picnic..."she concluded, barely feeling the guild stamp as her membership became official.

"Wow Miss Knightwalker! Now your a member like me!" cheered out Wendy as she came over with Carla.

'I suppose so...tell me Wendy. Are you fond of these novels?" asked the woman as she presented a exceptionally steamy paragraph to the fourteen year old. Seeing the girls eyes track across the page, the budding blunette turned redder than a tomato before walking away in silence.

"Honestly Knightwalker! You can't be showing this stuff to someone her age!" scolded Scarlet as many of the women simply laughed at the situation.

'Why not? She seemed like a good source to ask?"

"What made you think that?" the Gear asked in exasperation.

"Sam mentioned it last night when everybody was drinking"

"You literally took the drunk ramblings of that woman? She doesn't know anything!"

"I have to agree with Erza...Sam is pretty stupid" mentioned Lucy as she walked in with Evergreen, Grey, and Elfman. Walking up to the table, she looked at the newest member. "If you need help with understanding romance, you should ask me about it since I know way more than that tom-boy bitch" the celestial mage mentioned casually as Sam gained an impish smirk.

"Heh...you think your winning by insulting me...but your actually gonna lose" she mentioned before bringing the box onto the table. Opening the lid, she pulled out a magazine. The cover was adorned with the topless figures of Lucy and Evergreen, the two's breasts pressed against each other as they hugged exceptionally close while revealing panties were the only source of clothing for the two.

"EVERYBODY! The latest issue of 'Elegant Fairy' hit the shelves today! Who want's one!" the brunette cheered as Makarov came running up. The old man had snatched one away in seconds before falling back to Macao and Wakaba. The three perverts were already drooling as they stared at the heavenly images inside.

"Yo. I'll take one" mentioned Natsu as he spread the magazine out on the table for all his girlfriends to see.

"Damn Ever! Those are some perky nipples!" Cana teased the mage before turning the page.

"Since when does Lucy shave down there?" Erza asked casually as Mira giggled.

"All I know is Evergreen looks good with those angel wings...too bad its the only thing she's wearing..." she mentioned as Sam continued to hand out more magazines to several guild members. Looking at the nude images, Knightwalker looked at the two female mages in question.

"I didn't realize you two were harlots. Do you sleep with random men as well?" she asked as Sam burst out laughing. "You got it exactly right! Lucy is the biggest whore in Magnolia..Evergreen just poses for fun though..."

"That's it you bitch! I'm kicking your ass! Come on Ever!" Lucy commanded as she ran across the hall, her fist cocked back. Sam managed to block it, but not before Evergreen kicked her in the side.

'That's for making me do a damn photo shoot in the first place!" the woman in green roared before Sam straightened up. "So...two on one huh? Can't say I'm surprised" she replied before cracking her knuckles. Punching Lucy in the stomach, the blonde doubled over with a cough before the battle hardened Sergeant kicked Evergreen away. The woman flew through the air, colliding with Kinana as the barmaid was completely bowled over.

"Don't hurt Kinana!" Yelled out Bisca as she punched the staggering Evergreen into Gajeel, the man instantly gaining an annoyed look on his face.

"HEY! Watch where your going!" he yelled before a large fist collided with his face.

'It's manly to defend Ever!" shouted out Elfman before a chair was smashed into his back.

"Don't hurt my dragon-slayer!" Millianna ranted before Evergreen came running up and punching the girl into a pillar, knocking her out cold. Speeding back across the hall, she backhanded Sam as she rejoined the fight on the side of Lucy.

"Let's take this bitch down!" Lucy roared as she punched her rival in the face. Unfortunately, this had little effect as the three women started a three-way slug match.

"Dammit Natsu! Tell your girlfriend to stop starting shit with mine!" yelled out Grey as the man glared fury at the fire mage.

'Pfft. Like I can do that!" Natsu exclaimed before headbutting the boyfriend of Lucy. Seeing the man dazed, he simply picked him up and threw him across the hall. Sailing over the renewed slugging match between Lucy, Sam, and Evergreen, Grey collided with Levy's table. Spilling her fresh pancakes and orange juice all over her clean clothes, the short woman's eyes darkened.

"You damn ice mage! I was gonna eat that!" she ranted as the man quickly moved out of the way. Dodging the thrown glass at his head, Grey breathed a sigh of relief before being kicked by a rampaging Gajeel.

Mira was laughing at the erupting fight when a speeding glass smashed into her forehead, sprinkling glass everywhere as she collided with Erza.

'Don't touch me you tramp!" Erza exclaimed as she pushed Mira off her seat. Standing up, Scarlet was going to dish out more punishment when her rival swiped her feet out from below.

"Ginger bitches belong on the floor where they belong!" exclaimed Mira as the two started trading heavy blows, not caring who was caught up in their fight. Watching the commotion around her, Juvia looked back at Cana, the woman snuggling her large breasts into Natsu's side as the man had retaken his seat. "She dares to have affections for Natsu right before Juvia! This harpy must pay!"

"JUVIA WILL DEFEAT LOVE-RIVAL!' the blunette screamed before lunging over the table, tackling the lush in one swoop as the two started to trade heavy blows.

"You crazy bitch! I'll kick your ass!"

"Not if Juvia beats you first!" the two yelled at each other as they continued to roll about the floor, elbowing and landing heavy blows. Knightwalker looked around in a stupor, not understanding how a simple thing like an adult magazine could cause so much fighting in such a short amount of time. Almost everybody was fighting, even the little dragon-slayer as she kicked Grey in the side, causing heavy groan's from the man.

'I don't understand. You are all comrades are you not?" she asked as the sounds of cursing, breaking chairs and tables, and fighting filled the hall around her.

"Don't worry...you'll get it soon enough..." Natsu trailed off as Scarlet crashed into the huntress, the twins tumbling in a heap to the floor. Untangling themselves, the two twins glared at each other.

"Watch were your going you big-breasted cow!" roared the huntress as she got in her twins face.

"Only a jealous whore would say that about my body!" the other shot back before firing off a fist. Blocking it, Knightwalker smirked at the challenge before the two started to trade blows back and forth.

"I've been wondering which one of us is strongest ever since I saw you!" the newest mage asked loudly before snapping off a side kick. It was caught by Erza, the woman starting to push her back as she too gained a predatory smile.

'I couldn't have said it better myself!" Scarlet commented before the duo resumed their private brawl, mixing nearby Lucy, Sam and several other mages as the whole guild continued to fill with destruction.

'Wow Natsu! They're sure having fun!" commented Happy as he sat near the pinkette.

'They sure are little buddy! Now lets see who wins!" he told the feline as the mages continued to fight among themselves...


Several hours later...

Knightwalker woke up, the pain from the several blows received from Scarlet aching across her body as she sat up. Taking in her surroundings, the woman could see several mages still laying about. They were leaning against pillars, passed out on tables, or in other states of disarray. Slowly standing up, she staggered over to Natsu at the bar as the man sat next to several of his girlfriends. Taking a seat next to Sam, the woman slid her a slice of lime cheesecake as she rubbed a fresh bruise on her left cheek.

"Here. Figure'd you would want something good when you woke up" the brunette replied while nursing a beer. Nodding her head in thanks, the huntress took a bite while savoring the rich flavor of lime. Swallowing the food, she leaned over the counter to look at Natsu.

"So Dragneel. What do we do for the rest of the day? Cause to be honest, I'm not sure what to do with myself aside from training"

"Hmmm...Well to be honest, I was just going to finish up Bisca's rifle then...shit...I dunno? There's only a few jobs on the board, but they're not that high paying...maybe explore some new reality?"

"Natsu. We just were in a different universe yesterday...I know! Lets start making plans for an outdoor jacuzzi! Ever since our little vacation I want one!" Cana commented as she nodded to herself, the brilliant idea even gaining traction with Sam.

"That's a brilliant idea! We can all pitch in" Mira commented as the girls stood up.

"You do realize I wont complete the damn thing in one day...and whatever input I have will be immediately disregarded?" the man replied as Juvia hopped on his back.

"Juvia doesn't care! We will have a nice, outdoor place to soothe our aching bodies! Now take Juvia home!"

"I drove"

"Then take her to your truck!" the woman cheered as the male simply carried her out with the other three followed their love out of the guild into the cold January day.

"Aren't you going to assist them in that pointless task?" Erza asked while looking at Sam.

"Nah. Sure it sounds like a cool place to fuck Dragneel, but other than that...don't really care" the brunette said with a shrug before Levy came walking up.

"Actually Erza. I have a small task for you"

"Oh? What is it?"

"I need you to take all those research books to Edolas. Namely the Fairy Tail there" the shorter woman indicated as she pointed to several volumes of thick books.

"Why don't you do it? I'm not some fucking librarian" she replied before taking another bite of her dessert.

"Cause I have a fucking headache from drinking last night and don't feel like answering a million questions. Now will you please just fucking take them?"

"...fine" the huntress relented before standing up to join the shorter woman at the table.


Edolas. A few minutes later.

Letting out a deep sigh, Wendy looked around the room of Fairy Tail. While the announcement by King Jellal hours earlier had transformed their guild from dark to light status, it didn't change the fact that every single speck of magic was gone from their world. Nothing worked anymore. The lacrima powered energy grids, the vehicles...even Cana's simple star wand.

"I guess the bright side is we're not wanted mages anymore..." she trailed off while sitting near Juvia, Cana, and Lucy.

"That's true...and those other mages said they would help us with technology" the blue haired woman replied before taking a drink of water.

"I just can't believe how lucky they are to have a Natsu like that... Strong, brave, smart...and built like a fucking god" Lucy replied whistfully as she rested her head upon her palm.

"I agree. Even if my double is extremely unladylike...she is lucky to have such a strong future husband" Cana replied while a small hint of blush adorned her cheeks.

"At least our Natsu is determined to get stronger. After meeting his double, Dragion seems to have a fire lit under him" commented Juvia as the mentioned man did push-ups with Elfman. Ever since the Strauss man had heard how 'manly' his Earthland counterpart is, the man had formed a training duo with Natsu in the hopes of becoming 'real men'

"No double about that" mentioned Levy from nearby as she tinkered with some small gadget. Tightening a screw, she smirked in satisfaction before a burst of electricity filled the air with a series of strange popping sounds. Moments later, a whoosh of air filled the hall as a blue vortex started spinning in the hall. A small pulse of light revealed a female figure, carrying multiple books. Recognizing the scowling face of Erza Knightwalker, many of the mages gulped in fear and took a nervous step back.

"Knightwalker! What are you doing here!?" Lucy shouted in anger as she grabbed the blade from her hip sheath. Brandishing the weapon, she pointed it toward the woman.

"I was asked to drop off all these manuals for Levy. Apparently these volumes contain many things our world needs" the woman simply replied as she set the stack down near the mentioned member. Taking a look at several of the titles, Levy's eyes bulged. "No way...Solar Power Plants...electric grids...computers...powered flight aircraft...combustion engines..." she trailed off while reading the titles out loud. Seeing the technical wizard was already engrossed in the pages, Erza went and sat down at the bar near Mira and Bisca. Seeing the blonde still pointing a blade in her direction, Erza let out a sigh of annoyance.

"I am not here to harm you. In fact, they have made me a member in Earthland" she indicated toward her guild mark.

"But..you were trying to kill or capture us just yesterday?" Bisca asked from a few spaces down the bar.

"That is true. I would have...but since then, I have learned some things..."

"Like what?" Mira asked as she studied the ex fairy hunter.

"Apparently, I am the sixth mate of Natsu Dragneel. He is drawn to strong, self sufficient women that can stand with him in battle. I suppose I fit the requirements...even though I have no idea about concepts of romance and relationships. But it's very unusual. Here, you all fear me and some probably wish to fight me right now. But there, they welcome me with open arms. They even threw a party to celebrate my joining along with Pantherlily. Dragneel even made pizza...it was delicious" Erza admitted as several of the members looked at her in shock.

"Amazing...they've managed to make her into a member of Fairy Tail in a day!" several concluded as Lisanna looked toward the woman. "So they're really friendly? Even to someone with your past?"

"I guess? But most of them are killers. That fact is, a single mage you met could've defeated all the divisions with ease...especially Natsu, Juvia, Mira, or my double. They didn't even consider me a threat. Natsu or Sam could have killed me at anytime they wish yesterday. Then...there is the enemy they face from Samantha's home universe. I thought I was strong...that I could defeat any foe...but I was wrong...so wrong..." she finished as Jet spoke up.

"What kind of enemy?"

"Monsters...genocidal monsters that kill humans. Whole continents have been washed clean by orbital firestorms with billions dead. And those mages of Fairy Tail...fight them. I have seen the recordings of their battles... It's atrocity combined with butchery the likes this world has never seen. Those men and women...are strong. Very...very strong" she finished quietly. Seeing the looks of shock and horror wash across numerous faces, Erza wondered if she overdid it before one them spoke.

'Would they like our help? After all, these new technologies will usher in a new golden age for Edolas" Levy commented as she studied the scarlet haired woman. "That can't be right...billions dead. But Erza seems like the type of women to never lie. She's one of those people that does what she says"

"No. One thing I learned is they don't ask other realities to help. They have already lost several of their comrades to these evil beings and will not risk the lives of others. But they have extended an invitation for you to visit when you wish...or when you complete that I.V.D. McGarden invented"

"Hmm...I guess that works... So. What am I like there?" Lucy Ashley asked the redhead.

"You pose nude in magazines. Also, according to Sam, your a whore for many men. But I believe she was saying that in jest since the ice mage said that she was his girlfriend. They are all so confusing compared to what I know of you all"

"What do you mean?" Juvia asked as Lucy sat down, a look of horror and shock across her face at he news of her doubles actions.

"You are madly in love with Dragneel. Wish to bear his children. Also, you speak in third person. Grey on the other hand, seems to be some sort of 'Ice Stripper' Then Wendy is only fourteen years old and doesn't have large breasts like the one here. She is very jealous of the fact if I understand correctly"

"Really? I'm just a little kid?"

"Yes. But she is very strong for her age. Sam has been training her...perhaps I should lend my efforts..." the woman concluded before a new spinning vortex appeared in the hall.

'I must go now. I hope...that we can get along better in the future" the huntress simply said before walking through, leaving the Edolas members in a stupor.

"Well...at least she wasn't trying to kill us anymore" Natsu mentioned before looking at Elfman. "Come on buddy. We have to get stronger!" he said casually before running outside to start mock fighting with the man.

Looking at the spot Erza had disappeared into, Lucy let out a scowl. "Somehow...I'm gonna fuck that Dragneel. I don't care if its a one night stand, a man like that is rare...especially if he can fight abominations" the blonde concluded as she set a new goal for herself.


Several hours later in universe 137-C

"So Sam? What are you working on?" asked Knightwalker as she sat down next to the brunette. Most of the guild was empty at this time of day, many mages out and about on jobs or other activities. Asides from herself and the Sergeant, only Wendy, Levy, Bisca, Alzack, Makrov and Kinana could be seen in the hall as she looked around. "This is still going to be strange..." she concluded before the brunette spoke up.

"This is a set of rules for Dragneel to follow. Many of us have noticed that several women in town and other universes have been pinning after him. While I don't particularly care about that...I do care if Lucy somehow decides she wants him. So now I am adding some rules on top of the others written before. Here. Why don't you take a look and add anything that seems right to you" Sam asked as she slid the paper over. Looking down, Erza started to read the words to herself.

1. Natsu may not have sex with any women of his own choosing except for his prime girlfriends. (Erza, Mira, Cana, Juvia, Sam, Knightwalker of 137-C)

2. If a parallel version of any female members wish to have sex with Natsu, she must be approved by one of the prime's.

3. A prime may loan out Natsu in exchange for gifts or items...but never money.

4. Natsu may not impregnate any doubles unless his girlfriends are already pregnant or have children.

5. Juvia will bear Natsu's first child.

6. Natsu can not force a threesome with two identical dopplegangers unless it is what they desire. (example: Two Cana's may sleep with him if they both consent)

7. Lucy of 137-C is not allowed to fuck the Alpha Dragneel.

8. In the event Natsu is stranded by himself in a different reality, he is required to help build a harem for his double.

9. Natsu may have dinner with other girls of Fairy Tail across the realities, but he must state that he has girlfriends at home.

10. Failure to comply with these rules will result in a three day shopping trip to Crocus for Natsu with all prime girlfriends. (Monetary expenditures will be excessive)

"That's...alot of rules" she commented as Levy walked up. Reading over the woman's shoulder, the genius let out a short whistle.

"You girls sure didn't pull out any stops for him" she commented.

"Well yeah? I mean you should add one too since you like him?" Sam said in a questioning tone.

"NO I DON"T!" Levy roared before pinching her nose in annoyance. "Seriously...ever since 551-G and Christmas" she muttered before looking at the two. "Anyway, I think I've found a universe that will provide some great training for Knightwalker and has some really awesome technology. Obviously, Natsu will be coming with" she finished while indicating the two females to follow her. Walking into the library, she approached the IVD before punching in some fresh co-ordinates to universe 1000-A. Making sure that it was set on observation mode, the mad genius activated her invention. In a flash, the library was replaced by a broken and cracked city-scape. Numerous buildings where nothing but shallow husks or just piles of rubble. The relics of oddly designed cars and trucks littered the roadways as short shrubs poked up through the shattered pavement. Moving the view, they passed an old, peeling billboard that advertised something called a 'Vault' in the event of nuclear annihilation. Continuing onwards, the sounds of snarls and gunshots rang through the air...along with bursts of something else. Soon, the trio was viewing a small battle between a group of human's and rabid, snarling shells of the same species. Gunfire ripped through the air taking many of the monsters down before a woman on top of a rusting bus started laying down fire. Bursts of stabbing red light burned through the vistages of these feral humans before Sam finally spoke up.

"Holy shit..are those actual laser rifles?"

"Yup! And that's not all! I've seen the use of Plasma guns, laser gatling cannons, even something called 'freeze guns' although...the idiot who had it broke the damn thing. But while the computer technology is shitty or non existent, they have some amazing weaponry. The problem is..the environment is very hazardous with what looks like feral humans. If we go there, I recommend treating it like Sera"

"So what would be the plan if we go there?" asked Erza as she watched the group of human's walk past several bombed out stores and homes.

"It's simple really...we go there and take as much technology as we can!" finished Levy as the trio continued to watch the newest reality they had come across...

Alright! I think that should be good to end it. I was originally just going to have the next chapter as a one shot...but I'd be writing it next anyway no matter if it was main story or not...plus its easier to tie it in this way. Anywhoo...what do you readers think of Knightwalker? I figure hitting her with overwhelming force and Sam speaking to her main wants helped. Also if anybody gives me shit about how Edolas doesn't pan out or there were no mention of the Exceeds in their city...well. Levy basically got the whole rundown in 551-G. So now, everybody knew what to avoid and where to hit first. Now I tried to give some of the 'lesser' members some screen time, so I hope everybody enjoys that. Also. If you read this and also write stories, I'd be open for COG Natsu visiting other authors universes. Hell, you can write him if you want...just as long as he stays in character. But if any of you are interested, PM me and we can hammer out details. Also...sorry there isn't any Knightwalker loving, but it just didn't seem right yet. But the next chapters...are gonna be getting bloody. I think that's about it...oh yeah...LEAVE REVIEWS! MWAHAHAHA!

Knightwalker: So...I'm finally a member of Fairy Tail...at least they are strong...

Sam: Fucking right we are! Now lets go get me some fucking laser cannons!

Levy: But don't you already shoot lasers?

Sam: So what! Now I'll even be more dangerous!

Natsu: Whatever. Lets go kill some fucking monsters...

This is thehappy signing off!
