Kanji's POV
I threw on my coat and got ready to head out the door for another interesting day at the guild. I grabbed a pair of sunglasses and headed out. Erza told me to go alone and she'd catch up soon. Mira still refuses to talk to Erza. I know that right now's not a good time for her but still I just want the whole matter settled. I saw Diana while I was out, I waved and she said hello back .On my way to the guild I passed by Gajeel in an ally looking at cats.
"What are you doing?"
"None of your beeswax." He spat.
"You want a cat don't you?" I smirked "You're all pissed off because Wendy and Natsu have cats and you don't."
"Was it that obvious?"
"You're covered in scratch marks." I pointed out as the sky got noticeable darker "I thought it was supposed to be sunny today, I even wore my glasses."
"I guess. I don't keep tabs on the weather that much."
It started to drizzle.
"Shit." Gajeel grumbled "I'm gonna rust."
"You know maybe you're just not meant to have a cat." I said "The scratch marks and the rain, maybe someone's trying to send you a sign."
We walked under a nearby canopy to try and get out of the rain.
"Just think about it." I said "I'm a Dragon Slayer and I don't have a flying cat."
"You don't count." He said "You're second generation maybe you guys don't get cats. Maybe you guys get dogs or something."
"I doubt it Laxus didn't have a winged pet. But then again that guy from the Oracion Seis was a second generation and he had a flying snake, so who knows."
I looked up at the sky and the clouds looked odd.
"You feel it to?" Gajeel asked "Something big is about to go down."
"I don't like it we should get to the guild as soon as the rain lets up. This isn't a normal storm."
"Look at it." Gajeel said "It's like the sky's opening up."
"We need to go now!"
We started walking to the guild when the things around us began turning into a mist like substance and floating into the hole in the sky.
"What the hell!"
"Hit the deck!" Gajeel pulled me to the ground as a gust passed over us.
We got covered in dirt but managed to dig ourselves out.
"Holy Crap."
"What the fuck! Where'd everything go?"
"It went to another world"
"Who's there?"
"It's just me." Mystogan said walking up "I had a feeling you two would be able to survive it."
"What's going on?" I asked.
Mystogan explained that all our friends and the rest of the city got sucked into Edolas, the place he is originally from. He gave us some weird pills and said he'd send us to the other side.
"I'm going to look around here from anymore survivors; you two go over there and lay low. I'll meet up with you at some point. If you find the lacrima on the other side that is trapping the city you can use Dragon Slayer magic to free them, I know Gajeel's will work but I don't know if Kanji's will, I suggest you don't experiment."
He pulled out one of his staffs and launched Gajeel and me into this other world.
?'S POV
"Have you seen it Erza that Lacrima is huge!"
"Yes Hughes I saw it when I arrived." Erza said "It's quite beautiful."
I closed my book "The Shadow Triad just returned as well. The king wants to see us, most likely to discuss how to deal with the new magic power and the humans from Earthland that are inside it."
"You sound stressed dear." Erza remarked.
"You've been gone my sweet, I grew lonely."
"I was only gone a day." She told me.
"A day in time, but an eternity for my heart."
"You two done?" Sugarboy asked.
"Erza."
"Byro?"
"Fairy Tail is the only guild that still needs to be eliminated. His majesty would like results."
"The day will come when Erza and her masked freak of a boyfriend will eliminate that guild!" Hughes yelled.
"Quiet down Hughes. I hate when you yell"
"Pantherlily."
"You seem to be in sour mood Lily." "Lighten up fur ball." "Boys be nice to Sir Lily."
The Shadow Triad is here. The tree of them in their all black outfits.
"The king wants to see us let's go." Lily said.
Kanji's POV
I don't think people liked the look of Gajeel and I. They kept giving him weird looks and a lot of people were shocked by me. Currently Gajeel was holding a man up against a building trying to get information. So far we found out that this place, Edolas, was running out of magic and a race of cat creatures, like Happy and Carla, ruled over the human species in this world.
"Okay." Gajeel said dropping the man and turning back to me "So apparently I'm not the only Gajeel around here."
"What?"
"Apparently there's another Gajeel who here who works as a reporter, I say we pay him a visit. Maybe he can tell us where the rest of the guild is."
We followed that lead to a nearby bar and found a man who could be Gajeel's twin sitting at the bar.
"You Gajeel?" I asked then man.
"What if I am?" the man said.
"We'd like a word." Gajeel said leaning in.
The man took one look at us and told us to follow him outside. We came to the conclusion that in this world we have counter parts. In this world Gajeel is a political investigator who isn't on the side of the king. He told us what he knew about our friends.
"And so they used the Anima to pull the magic from your world into this one. They plan on converting the lacrima to magic energy in a few days." Edo-Gajeel explained.
"This king sounds like an ass." Gajeel said.
"I know where the Lacrima is, it's in the capital city. It's about a half days walk if you hurry."
"We better get a move on then." I said pushing my chair in.
"I shall accompany you." Edo-Gajeel said "As a reporter I must see this story through."
"Knock yourself out." I said "Hey real quick, where's the Edolas version of me, he with Edo-Fairy Tail?"
"He used to be." The man explained.
"What do you mean used to?" Gajeel asked.
"I'm afraid Edolas Kanji was killed by the government, he dies in a duel against the Masked Man specifically."
"Masked Man?"
"One of the elite members of the king's army. He runs a platoon with his lover, Erza Knightwalker."
"Wait a second Edo-Erza works for the king?" I asked.
"Yes she is one of its strongest officers; she has made it her duty to destroy Fairy Tail."
"This world really is crazy." I said "Where we come from Erza and I are Fairy Tail wizards and were engaged, I wonder who the man behind the mask is?"
"They say only the king and the elites in the army Erza, Hughes, Sugarboy, Byro, Lily, and the Shadow Triad has seen his true face."
"Sounds like an interesting guy." I joked "If I see him I give him a punch for Edolas me."
Scruff's POV
Hello. My name is Scruffington or Scruff for short. I'm an Exceed squire in the service of her majesty, Queen Shagotte. My parents died when I was young so the palace has been nice enough to let me stay and train with the knights there. I have orange fur and a yellow snout and belly. I put on my hat and cape and headed out the door of the barracks to get to work. My dream is to someday be a knight as brave as the great Sir Lily, and achive his dream of a world of equality. He's my hero, the people in town don't like him, they say he betrayed the queen and brought a human to Extalia. To that I say so what. What makes us so different from the human? We're all just beings trying to get by in the world.
In combat I specialize in using my claws to fight. Not that I've ever had to actually fight. They never send us out to do anything. Since I'm still young I can't maintain my battle from permanently like the older knights but I can hold it for a few minutes.
"Good Morning Sir Ichiya." I saluted as I walked passed my superior.
"Ah yes Scruff I have a favor to ask."
"Yes Sir?"
"Last night the heroes Happy and Carla returned home from Earthland would you kindly go fetch them?"
"Of course Sir!"
I wandered across the palace to the room our two guests were supposed to be in. I politely knocked on the door and slowly opened it.
"Hello?"
There were two Exceeds on the bed, one was blue and one was white, they seemed kinda spooked.
"Are you Happy and Carla? They ones from Earthland?"
They didn't answer me.
"Ah Scruff you are already here."
"Nadi Sir!"
"At ease squire. If you worried why they didn't answer you it's most likely because your are the first exceed they have seen besides each other."
"Oh well welcome home. I'm Scruff." I said with a smile "I was asked to bring you to see the queen."
The two climbed off the bed and followed me out into the hall, along the way we met with Sir Ichiya. Carle and Happy were surprised to see the man. Along the way Sir Nadi explained to the two new arrivals how the world works and how much power the queen had.
I love her majesty but sometimes I think we take our power for granted. If what they say about Sir Lily is true…what makes us different from humans. Our magic power. They only magic we can use is Aera and Battle Form. Where Sir Happy and Miss Carla come from it's the humans that have the power. Yet it sounds like a nice place? I wonder what it's like, to be friends with a human. Why does species have to matter, a friend is a friend that's what Sir Lily believed before he got exiled. I wonder if this place will ever change.
"What was our mission?" Miss Carla asked "ever since the day I was born it's been in my head. I'm supposed to eliminate the Dragon Slayer Wendy."
"What are you talking about?!"
"Be quiet Happy."
"No! What are you talking about?! Eliminate Wendy!" the blue cat started shaking his head and talking about someone named Natsu.
"Are you okay?"
He cares about this Natsu so much…Sir Nadi said that I was the first Exceed he had ever seen besides Miss Carla. That must make Natsu his human companion. He's this broken up over a human. Is this the friendship Sir Lily sought? What he wrote about in his journal?
"I'll explain. " Sir Nadi told them "Six years ago 100 Exceeds were sent to Earthland. They were given information to destroy the Dragon Slayers there."
Wait why kill people on a whole different world. That makes no sense.
"At the last minute your mission was modified for destroy to capture."
"That's not true; I came to Edolas on my own." Miss Carla said.
"No you were just carrying out an order. Shall we get back to the task at hand?"
"That's a lie!"
"You were just following our commands."
"We're not your puppets! We're wizards from Fairy Tail!"
This place, this Earthland. The place Sir Happy and Miss Carla want to protect, this is the paradise Sir Lily sought. A place where humans and Exceeds are equals.
"Let's go Carla. We'll save them ourselves. WE WILL SAVE OUR FRIENDS!"
Friend…
They started to run off.
"Scruff apprehend those two."
This is it. The place they want protect is the world I've wanted. A place of equality
"No Sir."
"What?!"
I spread my wings and shot forward passed Sir Happy and Miss Carla, shifted into battle mode and blocked the men trying to attack them "Run! I'll catch up later!"
"What are you doing?" they asked
"Just go!"
"What are you doing squire?"
"I'm fighting for the world I believe in. Shredding Claw!" I swung forward and broke the swords of the men in front of me before jumping out the window.
My battle form is built for speed I can out run the other knights since they mostly have power forms.
"Get back here!"
I flew as fast as I could to get out of town. I found Happy and Carla about to roll of a cliff.
Hang on!
I grabbed the two just shy of the cliff "I got ya"
"It's you."
I shrunk back to normal size "Thank you."
"Huh?"
"You've given me hope, the place I was looking for. A world of equality."
"Uhh okay."
"I'll proudly aid you in you fight to reclaim you friends." I told them.
"Thanks."
"That Lacrima there." I said pointing forward "That is where the humans are keeping the people of Earthland. I know that much but I'm afraid I don't know how to restore their human forms."
"What'ch doing in my fields?" an old Exceed said walking up
"My Battle Form isn't ready" I told them.
I can't carry them both at this size, I thought they knew Aera.
"You're those Rebels the city's lookin for."
The older cat took a breath.
"ARRHH! Get off my land!"
"Aye! We're sorry!"
"I swore I saw the rouge squire fly off this way."
"They already close in." Carla added.
"Get out of my field!"
"Aye we're going." Happy told him.
"And get in my house."
"Huh?" We all tilted out heads.
"You can hide out there for a while."

Thank you for reading. Feedback is appreciated. Feel free to message me any questions or concerns.
Edolas is probably one of my least favorite arcs. So that why there a multiple OC's. Most are just villains for this arc.
The fact the Scruff calls everyone "Sir" or "Miss" will get addressed later.
Also Scruff is basically Puss in boots from Shrek just with squarer features and no feather in his hat. Oh and no boots.
