"Kagura! Goku! Platinum! Bite sized bastard! Anyone hear me?! Damnit!" Kokonoe cursed.

She had lost all contact with Kagura and the others after they went to the Soul Society, so she has been working around the clock to try and find the Soul Society's location, somewhere in the Boundary. The only trick was that the Boundary is so huge that finding it is almost impossible. She grabbed a handful of Skittles out of a big bucket and stuffed her face with it, chewing angrily and impatiently.

"Easy, Kokonoe. You'll bite your tongue off." Tager said.

"If I do, I got a replacement. So shut up and go back to charging!" Kokonoe hissed.

"I finished charging yesterday. You've been at this all night." Tager explained.

"So?! I stayed awake for a week when I was trying to invent the world's first self aware toilet! This is nothing!" Kokonoe argues as she stuffed her face with more Skittles.

Tager pinched his forehead in irritation. He should have known how Kokonoe is when she sets her mind on something. She sees it through to the end... no matter what. Over in the corner of the lab, Nine and the Fairy Tail Wizards were talking amongst themselves.

"Jesus... Look at the way she shoves those things into her mouth. I'm amazed she doesn't keel over from eating sweets like that..." Gray said, sweat dropping.

"No kidding, she's worse than kid." Gajeel agreed.

"I'm gonna go try and talk to her." Natsu said.

"Why? you got a death wish, Grandpa?" Nine asked.

"She's been working around the clock. I'm just gonna try and talk her into taking a break." Natsu answered.

"I'll say something nice at your funeral, Salamander." Gajeel joked.

Natsu walked towards Kokonoe and gently placed his hand on her shoulder.

"Hey, Kokono-"

She grabbed his shirt and started shaking him violently while screaming bloody murder.

"FUCKYOUFUCKYOUFUCKYOUFUCKYOUFUCKYOUFUCKYOUFUCKYOUFUCKYOUFUCKYOUFUCKYOFUCKYOUFUCKYOU!"

"AHH! HELP! SOMEONE SAVE ME! I DON'T WANNA DIE AT THE HANDS OF A WACKO!" Natsu cried out in distress.

Erza rushed over and used every ounce of her might to pull Natsu away from the sleep deprived Kokonoe. She thankfully succeeded, but Natsu was definitely gonna have night terrors forever after this.

"Professor, you've been working yourself like a slave all night. I'm sure that if you get a good night's sleep, you'll have better chance of finding this Soul Society. Now let's get you to bed." Erza calmly spoke.

"NO! Comfort is the enemy! I've gotta keep looking for those idiots! I'll have plenty of time to sleep after! So make like a puppy and get run over by a truck, and I mean it! I once intentionally ran over a puppy with a truck!" Kokonoe shrieked.

"That's horrible!" Gray exclaimed.

"Now, Professor. What happens to us when we don't get enough sleep?" Erza asked sweetly.

"People can't... think straight?" Kokonoe guessed.

"Exactly." Erza replied.

"But if I don't do this..!"

Erza interrupted Kokonoe with gentle singing.

"Twinkle, twinkle, little star. How I wonder what you are." Erza sang.

Then, almost instantly, Kokonoe fell onto her keyboard, completely passed out.

"That worked?!" Happy and Lily exclaimed.

"It works all the time when I babysit little Aska." Erza said.

Everyone then looked down at the sleeping Kokonoe. She looked so peaceful when she slept. She was like an angel, a beautiful, smart, bat shit crazy angel.

"She looks so at peace when she's asleep. It sure bring back memories of when she was still a baby." Nine said.

"I agree, Ms. Nine. The way Kokonoe is when she's sleeping, she looks... so easy to put a pillow over her face..!" Tager said, holding a pillow in his hands.

Gajeel swiped the pillow from Tager's hands.

"I'll take that." He said.

"We should let her rest for now, she needs the shut eye." Nine suggested.

"I agree, she's looked as if her body was about to shut down, if not for Erza." Gray agreed.

"Got that right. Anyway, where's the cafe again? I'm starving!" Natsu eagerly asked.

"You should know, considering you slid down a vent and recked the place." Tager reminded him.

"Oh, . Very-"

Natsu stepped over a can of Monster, making a crushing sound as it was flattened. Then, Kokonoe woke up and pulled out a Mini-gun.

"WHERE AM I?!"

She sprayed the death machine all over the room, making hole pretty much everywhere. Everyone took cover under a desk to avoid getting turned into cheese. An entire minute passed and Kokonoe was finally out of ammo, and finally realized what she was doing. Kokonoe looked around her hole filled lab and spotted the gang hiding under a desk.

"Oh, sorry about that. I have bad dreams about being kidnapped." She apologized.

A few minutes later...

"Damn, without a properly working PFD, there's no way I can find the Soul Society and get back into contact with Kagura. There must be something I can do!" Kokonoe groaned.

"Didn't we tell you to go back to bed?" Gray said.

"No time! I have to find a way to contact Mutsuki and fast! There's a way! I'm just not seeing it!" Kokonoe mumbled.

"Of course you can't see it. Your eyes are redder than Happy was that time he ate that weird looking fruit" Lily told the Beastkin.

"Hey! That fruit was yummy!" Happy defended.

Then, she got up out of her chair with eyes widened and a lightbulb shone over her head.

"Red... Eyes..." She mumbled.

"Kokonoe, did you come up with something?" Tager asked.

"Guys, I've got just the guy who can help us!" Kokonoe said to everyone.

"You do?" Nine questioned.

Kokonoe then took off out of the lab at high speed. The gang then started to follow the cat professor until they reach a room at the end of the hallway. It was dark, small and full of these weird, tube-like containers.

Kokonoe was standing in front of a tube in the middle of the room. It was glowing in the dark due to the strange liquid inside of it, and there wasn't just that swirl substance in the tube, there was a person in there as well!

"What is this place?" Erza wondered.

"Kokonoe's darkest secret." Tager responded.

"Oh, please, Tager. I've had way darker secrets than this! Remember when I tried filling the Amazon with radioactive waist cuz I wanted to see what would happen? Or that time I tried making zombies to attack the Library? Those were good times..." Kokonoe reminisced

"You and I have very different opinions on those moments..." Tager said, sweat dropping.

"What are these things?" Gray wondered.

He got a look at the center one and noticed something VERY disturbing. Someone was in it! It was a man, completely naked with his eyes closed and wearing a breathing mask.

"WHAT THE?! There's a guy in there!" Fullbuster exclaimed.

"Holy crap! Gray's not kidding! Natsu shrieked.

"Kokonoe, who is that! Tell us, right now!" Nine demanded an explication from her daughter.

"This is the closest thing to a PFD that we have right now." Kokonoe answered.

She went up to the tube's consol and pressed a button. A microphone popped out of the console and turned on.

"Hey there, Itachi. How you holding up?" Kokonoe said into the mike.

The man in the tube opened his eyes. They were black as the night.

"I was doing good, until you woke me up. I was having the best dream." The man, Itachi, answered.

"HE'S ALIVE?!" Everyone, except Tager, exclaimed.

"Sorry about that." Kokonoe apologized.

"Save the apology, Professor. You only wake me up in case something really bad happens. What is it this time, did you blow up the Statue of Liberty again?" Itachi guessed.

"Nope. It involves the Dimensional Transporter I used to find you with." Kokonoe answered.

"What happened?" He asked.

"My idiot acquaintances dove right into it while trying to stop another idiot acquaintance and now they're all scattered across the Boundary. Plus, Relius Clover is back with a divide that's powerful enough to wipe out universes." She explained.

"Relius Clover... I heard about that name in the Sector 7 archives." Itachi said.

"Yeah, and we need to bring the band back together if we wanna stop him, cuz I know that old bastard's not gonna be able to do this by himself." Kokonoe finished.

"Let me guess, you intend to send me into the Boundary to locate your allies, who are scattered across multiple worlds and bring down a madman, hellbent on destruction." He guessed.

"Pretty much."

"Do I get a say in this matter?"

"Nope."

She then pressed a button on the console and the liquid started to drain from the tank. Itachi fell to his feet without slipping and removed the mask from his face.

The tank opened and he stepped out of it, wiping some goo off of his face.

"Morning, Itachi." Tager greeted.

"Hello, Tager." Itachi replied.

"Uh... Honey, ehehe... Who, uhh... Who the hell is this?" Nine asked nervously.

"Everyone, I'd like you all to meet Itachi Uchiha, A.K.A. Agent Red Eye. He's been with Sector 7 for about two years now." Kokonoe introduced.

"Greetings." Itachi said, bowing his head.

"Uhh... Hi." Natsu nervously greeted.

"What was he in a big test tube?" Lily asked.

"And is he single?" Erza asked, blushing.

"Why he was inside it is classified information... and yes, he's single." Kokonoe answered both questions.

"We should save this for later, Professor. Right now, don't we have your friends to find?" Itachi reminded the Beastkin.

"Right. Come on, let's get you and everyone else, especially Gray, some clothes." Kokonoe said.

"Why do we need new clothes?" Natsu asked.

"And especially me?" Gray added on.

"You guys looked like you died tragically at Comicon, so it only makes sense to give you guys a fresh new set." Kokonoe explained.

She wasn't kidding. The fight with Relius and Nu tore up their garments beyond repair. How Natsu's scarf survived is a mystery.

"Plus, it's bad enough seeing Uchiha naked in my lab, I don't need to see Gray's junk too." Kokonoe said, shivering out of disgust.

"How can you see my junk?" Gray questioned.

"Probably because you're but naked again, Ice for Brains!" Gajeel pointed out.

Gray looked down and noticed he was completely nude... again.

"WHAT?! When'd that happen?!" He shouted.

Later...

"So, what do you think, Red Eye?" Kokonoe asked Itachi.

Itachi walked out of the change room wearing a black robe with red clouds on the bottom of it. The red clouds were the logo for Itachi's previous affiliation, the Akasuki.

"Brings back memories, I won't lie." He admitted.

"Haha! Man, these new threads are sweet!"

Natsu jumped out, exited about his new outfit. Instead of his usual black robe, he now dawned a red and gold jacket with flame decor on it, green pants with blue knee guards, which had little dragon marks on them, two metal gauntlets with dragon marks on them as well as a pair of goggles. He also was now wearing his scarf like a belt, and not forgetting the two necklaces he had on. One was thread with three crystals hanging on it, while the other was a silver chain with the Fairy Tail Guild's crest on it.

"Aye! If only Carla could see me now!" Happy agreed.

Happy was now wearing a green ascot and goggles.

"Have to admit, I'm impressed with the cat's style." Gray said surprised.

Fullbuster was now eating a blue and white trench coat along with black and blue pants with chain accessories, held up by a belt. He had no shirt underneath the coat, only the necklace that his teacher, Ur, gave him before she died.

"You guys don't look that bad in your new get ups." Kokonoe complimented.

"Yeah. They look good." Tager agreed.

"I can't agree more."

Out came Erza from the fitting room and all the guys' jaws dropped at her new appearance. Erza, instead of her white and blue skirt with armor over it, wore an EXTREMELY revealing black dress. The bottom of it had only a back side to cover her lower back while the front was completely open, exposing her legs. While the top was literally nothing but a black bra. Her left leg had two belts wrapped around it, she wore a golden, jewel encrusted choker as well as a black headband with a crimson flower decoration. In short, she looked like a...

"Kokonoe, why the hell did you make her put that on?! She looks like a hooker!" Tager snapped at Kokonoe.

"Who says I made her wear it? She took it by choice." Kokonoe explained.

"...What?" Tager said, stunned.

"Of course I did. If there one thing I love, it's wearing sexy outfits." Erza said, showing off her dress.

Tager didn't even want to say anything now. He was afraid of the answer.

"Hey, Gajeel. How come you didn't change?" Happy asked Redfox.

"No need to. My clothes are fine." Gajeel answered.

He was right. Gajeel showed up late into the fight with Relius and didn't even take a scratch, so there was no point really in changing out of something that is still in tact.

"Yeah, same goes for me." Nine said, walking out of the change room in the same clothes.

"Alright, clothes aside, what's the plan, Professor?" Itachi asked.

"You see, Itachi. After the most recent tests, we've discovered that you are able to navigate through the Boundary as easily as a Prime Field Device can, thanks to those eyes of yours" Kokonoe started to explain.

"Prime Field Device? What's that?" Natsu asked.

"It's what that Nu girl you fought was." Tager told Salamander.

"Prime Field Devices are artificial life forms built to travel through the Bundary, the space between all dimensions, without the need of protective gear." Kokonoe explained.

"The space between all dimensions?!" Erza exclaimed.

"That sounds awesome!" Natsu said in awe.

"Wait, you mentioned something about protective gear?" Gray questioned.

"The Boundary is seaming with a radioactive compound called Seither. Without the right kind of equipment on, when a normal human goes in, they die... or worse." Kokonoe continued.

"Something worse than death?" Lily questioned.

"They become transformed... into a mindless abomination." Tager answered.

The two of them saw that process themselves... Arakune.

"But even with the right gear, humans can't see shit through all that Seither, so navigation without a PFD is impossible." She finished.

"That's where I come in." Itachi said.

The Fairies turned to the Uchiha.

"I'm able to navigate through the Boundary myself, thanks to my eyes." He explained.

"What's so special about em, pretty boy?" Gajeel asked.

Itachi closed his eyes for a second and then opened them. They had changed from their usual black to blood red with black patterning on them.

"Whoa!" Natsu jumped.

"That's so creepy!" Gray exclaimed.

"Itachi's eyes are very special. They give him many different types of ocular abilities, one of them being able to see through substances like Seither. If I remember right, Itachi said that this ability of his is called the Sharingan." Tager explained.

"That's right, Tager." Itachi replied.

"I must say, that is quite cool." Lily complimented.

"Yeah, But how does it work?" Nine asked.

"From what Itachi told me and Kokonoe, when ever a member of Itachi's clan, the Uchiha, experiences a extreme emotional or mental trauma, a unique energy is release into their brain and reacts with the optic nerves. That causes them to undergo a transformation. That's the Sharingan, or as Red Eye calls it 'Eyes that Reflect the Heart'." Tager explained.

"I see... You must have suffered through something horrible to acquire that power. I'm sorry." Erza gave her condolences.

"It's alright, Ms. Things happen. Actually, I never got your names." Itachi said.

"Oh yeah! Sorry, pal. I'm Natsu Dragneel." Natsu introduced himself.

"Hi! I'm Happy!"

"The name's Gray Fullbuster."

"I am Erza Scarlet."

"Gajeel... Gajeel Redfox."

"Call me Pantherlily."

"Konoe, but you can call me Nine. I'm Kokonoe's mother." They all introduced themselves.

Itachi bowed to all of them.

"Itachi Uchiha. An honor to meet you." He replied.

"Ok, now that we all met and hugged, Time I explain the mission to you, Red Eye." Kokonoe said.

Uchiha turned back to the Beastkin.

"In order to locate the Soul Society, which is located somewhere in the Boundary, we need your Sharingan since it's able to see through the massive amounts of Seither in there." She explained.

"However, even with your Sharingan, locating it will still be difficult, and there's a high possibility that you will be sucked into another dimension unintentionally. So, we'll be in communication with you the whole way and will track your location with a nano-chip implanted in your scrotum." Tager added on.

"Understoo- Wait, what..? There's a nano-chip in my scrotum?" Itachi questioned, a little grossed out.

"Blame Kokonoe, she's the one who like "upgrading" people's junk!" Tager said.

"Balls aside, once you find the Soul Society, radio back to us and I'll send Tager to help you secure Noel Vermillion and whoever else is in there as well, we'll worry about the others once Noel's safe." Kokonoe finished.

"Of course." Itachi replied.

"We're going too!" Natsu declared.

"Yeah, no. This is a two man, or man and cyborg job max." Kokonoe declined.

"You could use the backup! Pretty boy and metal head might not be able to handle things themselves!" Gajeel explained.

"Clearly you haven't seen Red Eye in action." Kokonoe chuckled.

"Kokonoe..."

She turned over to her mother.

"Let us come along, I know you say that your friend here is capable, but if we run into Relius along the way, things might now turn out well." Nine spoke.

Kokonoe scratched her head and grunted.

"Fine, you guys can tag along, but don't blame me if you turn into big black blobs." She caved.

With that, everyone strapped on protective gear and moved towards the Dimensional Transporter. Kokonoe flopped the switch and it lit up with blue light. Itachi was the first to dive in, Sharingan active. Natsu turned to his friends and Nine and started to speak.

"Ok guys, I'm not as good at speeches as Gramps, but here goes."

Natsu took a deep breath.

"Today we go to war! That old bastard, Relius, took everything from us! Our friends, our family, and if that's not bad enough, our whole world! But he made a mistake that will cost him! He made an enemy of Fairy Tail! Once we're done with him, he's gonna look back on this day and rue it! We're gonna do this, not just for our world, but for all worlds! Come on, Fairy Tail! To victory!" Natsu triumphantly spoke.

They all cheered and dove into the Transporter.

Kokonoe smirked from Natsu's speech. Their crazy, but honorable, kinda like her. However, before Kokonoe could flip the off switch, a silver blur zoomed into the portal, following the Wizards and Itachi. Kokonoe's eyes widened. She knew who that was.

"Damnit! Not her!"
