Hello my fellow readers, writers, and people who have been enjoying this story so far, I'm back with yet another new chapter. In this chapter we'll be going over the events of the Fairy tail episode titled Fireball which I have no idea how much will change but judging by the title it's going to be a Natsu based episode.

Anyway I don't have anything else to add so without further ado let's get this show on the road.

Hope's P.O.V.

While both Lucy's were looking at each other Edo Lucy said "wow I knew she'd look like me but seeing her is freaking me out." Lucy said with a slight shake in her voice "is she the Edolas version of me" however we still had the army unit to worry about. One of the soldiers shouted there they are over there" and Carla said "I'm afraid the introductions will have to wait" and Happy said "if we stay here we'll get caught."

Lucy pointed toward the unit and said "okay Natsu do what you do best" and he said "with what exactly" and she said "with your magic obviously you're a wizard right." He said "we haven't been able to use our magic since we got here" and while she was staring at him with her mouth open he said "hey wait a minute how can you still use yours."

She said "I have no idea" and Happy said "Lucy you're our only hope" and Carla said "give those brute's the what for." Wendy said "if we get captured then all our friends are as good as dead" and she said "so that means I'm the strongest one in Fairy tail." I said "well right at this moment technically but I can still summon my golems" and I threw three behind me while I was staring at her in annoyance of how she would let something so simple go to her head already.

I heard the sounds of metal clashing against stone but since my golems were really resilient I wasn't worried about them. Natsu looked at her with an annoyed expression as well and said "quite fantasying and take them out" and she grabbed a key from her belt and said "open gate of the white ram Aries." A girl who looked no older than Wendy, wearing a sheepskin dress that left nothing to the imagination, yellow stockings, and sheepskin boots appeared from a puff of smoke.

She said "uh hello leave everything to me I'll do my very best" and Happy said "the fluffy one" and Edo Lucy said "wow what kind of magic is that." The soldiers seemed surprised by it as well so I took the advantage to have some more of my golems join the ones that were already attacking and my half were already knocked out.

The half that I purposefully left of Lucy had mixed reactions of her summoning Aries in fact one of them thought Aries was a demon. Lucy said "okay Aries you think you can take these guys" and she said "well I'll certainly try" and conjured up a large amount of what looked like pink smoke in her hands and called out her attack "wool ball" which caused the soldiers to at least temporary forget what that they were after us while the cuddled with the wool.

Aries seemed to have the same self-esteem problems Wendy did when he first met her because she said "I don't think it's working I'm useless after all." Lucy said "oh it's working alright give them another volley" and she shot more which caused the soldiers to be completely covered in wool and unable to move from it.

Lucy said "this is our chance to run" and Aries said "was that too your liking I'll be sure to do better next time take care of yourself Lucy." She disappeared into a puff of smoke and Happy said "way to wreak it Miss. Fluffy" and Natsu said "that's one way to take out an army" and Lucy was gushing still over being what she considered the strongest.

As we were running I said to Lucy "you know if someone were to take your keys away from you you'd be just as helpless as Natsu right now" and she actually snarked back to me "right now the same could be said with you and your golems." Also, while we were running, I heard Edo Lucy mutter "so this is the power of Earthland magic" and we eventually stopped in a forest clearing.

Carla said "while we have this moment, we should figure out our next move" and Natsu looked at Lucy and said "okay so you want to tell us how you even got to Edolas in the first place." Wendy said "oh yeah we were worried about you because we'd heard everyone in the guild had been turned into a giant Lacrima."

Lucy said "oh Horologium and Mystogan rescued my just in time" and Happy said "you mean the old clock man" and Carla said "Mystogan was there." Lucy pretty much explained that Horologium appeared and put her inside himself to protect him from what Horologium called a space-time distortion which I had to agree seemed to be right on the nose.

She then explained how Mystogan appeared right before her and said that she needed act quickly to save her friends. Natsu seemed surprised that he evaded being sucked up in the anima as well and Lucy said "yeah and he gave me the rundown on what happened." She then explained how he said something about needing to eat something and then sent her off through the opening that anima had created.

She then said "so then I started searching for anyone I might know and ran into the 6 of you" and I said "the only question I have for you right now is how did you get off that cliff you were dangling from." She said "that's not really the point is it" and I said "not really I'm just being curious this time around and Wendy said "I don't get it how come Mystogan is the only one who knows about Edolas" and Natsu said "I'd like to know who that guy really is."

Lucy said "if we're lucky we might be able to ask him" and while everyone was silent at that Happy said "well I'd like to know why your magic works and ours doesn't." Lucy said "well maybe I'm a legendary beautiful heroine in this world" and I said "please you rank at the highest a 6 on the scale of beauty." She said "oh yeah name three people more beautiful then me.

I said "well first off we have that model from Blue Pegasus, then we have Mira, and then we have our Erza." She looked dejected at the apparent ease I managed to name three and Natsu said to her "don't think so." she then got serious "I don't know the answer to that question if Natsu can't use any of his power I don't know how we're going to win."

I said "all teasing from me aside I think I know what the reason is you know Mystogan pretty much forced you to eat something by throwing it in your mouth before he sent you here." she nodded and I said "maybe it's like a pill that allows Earthland mages use their magic power here in Edolas." Edo Lucy after a moment of silence said "so you boneheads still want to take on the kingdom by yourselves" and Natsu said "of course we do."

Happy said "if we don't save our friends who will" and Edo Lucy got a saddened expression on her face and Lucy said "is that really such a hard thing to believe." Edo Lucy said "you'd fight then when you can't even use magic that would be suicide" and Lucy said "are you deaf two of us still have an entire arsenal that's right everyone just sit back while the two strongest members of Fairy tail takes care of this problem by themselves" and she threw an arm around my shoulder and forced me into close proximity of her which was kind of surprising.

I said "you know if I were still like my old self it would be so easy for me a plunge a knife into your back right now right" and she instantly let me go. I said "I wouldn't do that now but still you really need to stop letting your guard down." She seemed to ignore that and said "oh yeah I'm all fired up" and Natsu said "we're totally screwed aren't we" and Carla said "I guess we'll have to hope for the best" and Happy said "aye sir" and Wendy was actually pumping her up "yeah you got this Lucy so do you Big sis."

That actually caught me off guard since I wasn't expecting her to start calling me that so soon but to be honest it felt nice. We eventually traveled to another city on the way to the capital and got a hotel room for the night and I was honestly surprised at the fact that there was a map in there. Carla started explaining what had happened so far and pointing to each location she was highlighting essentially.

"this is where we last saw the Edolas Fairy tail the frog creature chased to somewhere about here we then met up with Earthland Lucy in Louen even if by mere luck. We're currently holed up here in the port city of Sycca we'll have to secure passage overseas if we want to reach the royal city." Natsu said "our friends are half a world away" and Wendy said "and that's half a world with royal army soldiers we'll be dodging around every corner.

It could take us weeks to even get near the royal capital" and Edo Lucy said "wow this is nuts she's exactly like me we even have the exact same freckles on our asses." Lucy seemed mortified that Edo Lucy was revealing this stuff to us but seemed more occupied with what she had said "what are you talking about I don't have freckles anywhere."

Wendy said "wait scary Lucy did you forget Natsu's in the room" and she said "I can see him just fine half-pint" and I said "Wendy it's not that she can't see him it's just that she doesn't care one little bit." Edo Lucy motioned to me and said "she's right I don't care" and Lucy said "you should" and after happy said something that I couldn't quite understand since he always makes up his own words sometimes Carla said "Tomcat you're not allowed to speak for the rest of this journey."

While Natsu was focusing on both Lucy's Edo Lucy said "see something you like I'll show you more" in a seductive voice while Lucy said "don't you dare." His cheeks then puffed out as if he were holding in a laugh and a smaller laugh came out and Lucy said "what are you laughing about. Oh, I get it you were going to poke fun at me by saying other Lucy has a better figure is that it well if you want to die today be my guest" and Edo Lucy smirked in agreement."

Natsu then said one of the stupidest things I'd ever heard him say which was honestly surprising since he'd said plenty of stupid stuff before "I was just thinking you could totally wash your own back now." Both Lucy's gave him what looked like a death glare and said "you're such a child" and Wendy said "you two look so much alike it difficult to tell which is which."

I said "for me it's easy the Lucy from Edolas wears leather which leaves much less to the imagination than our Lucy does." Natsu then got an excited look on his face and said "you two should come up with a mirror impression act together" and both of them shot his idea down again "not happening." Wendy said "wow they're even in perfect sync" and Carla added on "perfectly annoying" and I said "I don't know it is pretty entertaining."

Happy said "you know this reminds me of when Gemini is around" and Natsu said "you know now that you mention it." Edo Lucy repeated Gemini as if it were something foreign to her which in the case Natsu and Happy were talking about it was. Lucy said "a couple of celestial spirits I'm contracted with they can turn into perfect lookalikes of other people."

After calling out "open gate of the twins: Gemini" Gemini Lucy appeared and for once another version of Lucy was wearing more clothes than the original. Gemini Lucy said "Gemini as your service" and Edo Lucy looked more shocked than ever and Lucy said "if you thought two was great try a triple dose of hotness" and I scoffed slightly and said "more like a triple dose of sluttiness" and she looked at me and said "again why do you always pick on me."

I said "because Edo Lucy is more proactive than you are, Wendy is my sister so I wouldn't teasingly insult her, Natsu and Happy are too dumb to get half of my joking insults, and Carla is too serious." After another stupid idea of Natsu's something about a guessing game and him being so stupid he would have lost Carla said "I have one question when were you planning on clothing yourselves."

Lucy then shrieked slightly and said "I'm still naked" and after both of them got dressed in the same kind of pajamas Natsu said "even without Gemini around it's almost impossible to tell which one of you is which" and Edo Lucy said "I don't suppose you have one of those ghost things that's good with a pair of sicssors do ya."

Lucy said "yeah actually I have the perfect spirit for that job" and she called out cancer and the first thing he said was "it's been a while since you called me baby" and Edo Lucy said "are you cool with him calling you baby like that." Lucy said "if you have a problem with that then you're going to freak when you meet Taurus" and I said "that's true enough since Taurus is even more of a prevent than Cancer at least he's more of gentleman about it."

He then gave Edo Lucy a haircut and said "I hope you like your new do Baby" and she said "there shouldn't be any trouble telling us apart now don't you think." Lucy said "are you sure you're okay with chopping it off I mean mine took forever to grow out" and Edo Lucy said "yeah it's just hair it's not like it's serving some great purpose by being longer so why does it matter."

Cancer than chimed in "because every lady should have pride in the do they sport Baby" and Edo Lucy said "yeah I guess so" and walked over to the window. She then said "in a world like this you tend to forget the little things like boy or girl and separate you from your friends in the end you're all just survivors."

Happy asked "if it's that tough why did everyone in your guild seem so carefree" and she said "yeah of course they did it's important to keep your spirits up even if you have to force them every single day. And when we can't bring ourselves to smile, we remember that there are people in this world that need us even if that means we're labeled a dark guild Fairy tail will always be there to lend a helping hand.

But I guess that's still not enough in the end" and when Lucy made a surprised gasp Edo Lucy said "nothing I'm just rambling."

(the next morning)

Lucy actually woke all of us up by shouting "you got to be kidding me I can't believe myself" and I said "I can't believe you don't know how to keep it down when people are sleeping." Natsu who was rubbing his eyes said "well you're sure energetic in the morning aren't you" and Carla said "what is wrong with you."

Lucy thrust a piece of paper forward and said "little miss me packed her bags and walked out on us last night" and Wendy grabbed the piece of paper and read it out loud. "keep walking for three more days and you'll get to the royal city I'm going to head back to my guild now good luck and try not to get busted."

Lucy seemed move pissed off about it because she said "what was all that about lending a helping hand if I get my hands on her I'll wring her scrawny neck." Happy picked one of the least convenient of times to patronize her "so you're saying you have a scrawny neck too" and she stomped away to pack her bag and said "shut up."

Wendy tried to calm Lucy down "there's nothing we can do other Lucy said she wasn't going to fight we should respect that" and Natsu said "yeah" in a disinteresting tone. Lucy said "so you're saying I should just forgive this someone with my face should never abandon people in need" and Natsu said "come on it's no big deal" and she said "it is too."

After getting out of the hotel we were Lucy noticed a book stand near and we waited while she looked over them and after leaving the book stand, she was walking in front of our group while humming the entire time. Happy said "at least she's not screaming anymore" and Wendy said "it's nice to know that you can cheer Lucy up by giving her a rare book to read" and Natsu caught up with her and said "so what book did you end up buying anyway."

She said "a complete history of Edolas silly don't you want to learn more about this amazing world while we have the chance." I didn't pay attention to the rest of the conversation since it didn't really interest me and I said to Wendy "when there's nothing going on remind me to bring the whole group to Legerdomain sometime" and she said "okay."

As we were just standing there while Lucy was reading a little bit a giant shadow covered the whole area around us and Lucy said "what the" and Carla said "look above us." We all looked up and there was what looked like a giant airship which seemed to impress Natsu for some reason. Two soldiers of the army ran down the road we were on and said "move it or you'll be left behind" and Lucy said "it's the royal army again."

Wendy took initiative and pushed both Natsu and Lucy behind a pillar while I walked behind another one" and Wendy said "we got to hide" and I said "already on it." we were close enough to where the ship was landing we could still hear what the guards were saying. One of them said "I heard they're going to pull the magic out of that huge Lacrima the day after tomorrow."

Another said "so that's why they're calling for additional security detail" and another person said "yeah this is big time guys we better get on board." Natsu said "they're talking about our friends" and Wendy added on "and everybody from Magnolia too." Lucy must have been focusing on something they said before "the magic extraction is in two days that means if we go on foot, we'll never make it."

Carla said "and once the extraction progress is underway, we'll lose any chance of changing everyone back to their normal states." Natsu said "we'll have to steal that ship" and Wendy said in shock "steal it all by ourselves" and Carla said "that is a completely unnecessary tactic it would simply be easier to sneak aboard."

Natsu said "man I can't stand hiding" and I said "I thought you couldn't stand vehicles either" and Happy said "this must be the weird Natsu because ours would never want to ride in a vehicle." He said "that's true but with Wendy's Troia spell vehicles aren't a problem anymore" and I clocked him right on the head and I said "for the last time we're not able to use our magic here which means Wendy can't cast Troia on you."

Natsu said "you're right let's find another way" and Carla said "it's too late" and Lucy said "I say we take it by force that's our best chance of making it in time to save them." Wendy said "but how will we do that" and Lucy said "duh we use my magic did you forget that you're in the presence of the strongest mage in Fairy tail."

She then added on "and did you notice how quickly we got the upper hand on the soldiers in Louen Earthland magic must be more advanced than anything in Edolas. Lucy did the stupidest thing I've ever seen her do which was go right up behind the soldiers and say "hey check this out" and held out a key and called out "Open gate of the lion: Loke" but instead of the playboy spirit appearing it was her pink haired maid."

She said "what Virgo" and Virgo said "pardon this intrusion princess" and Lucy said "what's going on here where's Loke." Virgo said "big brother is currently occupied with a date and can't be summoned at the moment" and Lucy seemed confused when Virgo called Loke big brother. Virgo said "yes master Leo requested I refer to him in that manner" and Lucy said "has he lost every ounce of sanity he had."

The soldiers finally got over their shock and said "that's Lucy from Fairy tail" and another said "capture her." Lucy said "now what am I supposed to do I was counting on Loke to take them all out and make me look like a powerhouse." Virgo said "princess if you'll allow me I believe I can fill that role with the power of interpretive dance" and she started dancing very badly.

I said "just let me handle it" and I threw 4 of my golems in between the soldiers and Lucy and the soldiers were not faring very good. The golems were grabbing two at a time and smashing their heads together but they just kept coming. The soldiers eventually managed to smash my golems to pieces and eventually surrounded us as the airship started taking off.

One of the soldiers grabbed Wendy by one arm while a whole bunch surrounded Natsu alone and another bunch surrounded me and took my bag so I couldn't summon more golems. Two soldiers were holding Lucy's arms behind her back while two were doing the same to me while another soldier grabbed Wendy's free arm and more shoved Natsu down to the ground head first.

I managed to look in the direction we had come from and there was a dust cloud coming and a faint outline of what looked like a car in the dust cloud. I heard Natsu mutter "what is that" which it was revealed as a car when the dust cleared and it almost hit the soldiers which caused them to scatter which also caused them to release us.

I grabbed my bag back from the one who had taken it and stomped right on his face hard enough to knock him out. Lucy said "who's driving the magic mobile" and Happy said "I don't know but it has Fairy tail's emblem on it." the person in the vehicle I saw had pink hair and goggles over his eyes and he rolled his window down and said "Lucy thought you guys might need a lift hop in."

After we did so the driver said "fasten you seatbelts kids we're driving hard go fire" and I assumed that fire was spewing out of the tires. At that time I knew almost instantly that it was the Edolas version of Natsu since our Natsu said the same thing when trying to roast the soldiers from yesterday. As we were going as fast as the car would go Happy said "we made a clean getaway and now we can cruse right across the desert."

Lucy said "thanks a lot" and Wendy said "yeah you really saved our lives" and Natsu was close to puking his guts out" and the Edolas Natsu said "no problem my pleasure my wheels are way faster than that piece of junk airship. Then again there isn't a vehicle I couldn't leave in the dust" and he took his goggles off to reveal to the others that he was Natsu from Edolas.

He then said "I'm kind of a big deal around here they call me the fireball" and everyone with the exception of me called out his name in shock. even Natsu managed to get past his motion sickness enough to say "huh it's me" and Lucy said "this is crazy I mean you're nothing like the Natsu we know" and Edo Natsu said "and you're nothing like my Lucy except for the looks of course.

So is puke face back there your me talk about pathetic" referring to our Natsu" and Wendy said "he's not usually like this he's just not very good with Vehicles." He then said to our Natsu "just don't ruin the upholstery alright I can't imagine they wouldn't call me fireball the currier wizard is I tossed my cookies just from sitting in a vehicle."

Happy said "how are you able to drive this thing without an SE plug attached to your arm" and Wendy said "what are you talking about." Carla clarified for her since even I didn't know much at this point "SE stands for self-energy it converts magic power into fuel so without one it shouldn't be able to move at all."

Lucy said "of course since people in Edolas don't have natural magical power I guess they don't need SE plugs in their vehicles." Wendy said "does that mean this thing is running on another power source" and I said "that's the only possible explanation" and Carla said "interesting even though they're lacking in magical prowess Edolas seems to have made strides with vehicles."

He then slammed on the brakes and when everyone got over the jolt from that Lucy said "are you trying to make me kiss the dashboard" and he said "wow you people sure are ignorant. Since magic is a limited resource that means things like magical fuel are also limited it's nearly impossible to get a hold of. Long story short I can't really afford to take you any further so get out" and everyone had an offended look on their face.

He said "if I keep burning through fuel, I won't be able to make it back to the guild thanks to the fairy hunter they had to change locations again recently. Natsu got out and was almost instantly over his motion sickness and he said "hello solid ground I'm alive again" and Edo Natsu said "I'll hand this to your me he knows when it's time to pick up and move on now get out" and he literally shoved them out the open door."

He said "if you want to take on the kingdom I won't stop you but don't drag my Fairy tail into it I only helped you because of Lucy" and he looked at our Lucy and said "not you my Lucy. I could never turn her down when she asks for something so thank her for your rescue I don't want anything else to do with ya for me driving is all that matters."

Our Natsu then placed an arm on top of the car and said "hey" and he then dragged Edo Natsu out of the car and said "I want to talk to you for a second." In a completely different tone of voice Edo Natsu said "no get your hands off of me right now" and it seemed a little scared. Natsu said "sorry but I got to have a little heart to heart with myself" and Edo Natsu said "will you cut it out let go of me no I can't get out of the car."

Natsu placed him down on the ground and after looking at him menacingly for a moment he said "now tell me" and he dropped the scary look and said "how do you not get car sick. Lucy was shocked by his reasoning for that "so that was your big beef" and Edo Natsu put his hands up and covered his face with fear and started sniffling.

When he lowered his arms slightly he had tears in his eyes threatening to escape and he said "I don't know I'm sorry please don't hurt me."

Yet another chapter done and to be honest when I first saw this episode on YouTube back in the day when I was still up I got to say I was unimpressed with the Edolas Natsu. Anyway in the next chapter we'll be going over episode 82 of Fairy tail titled Welcome home so until next time this is Diamondholder signing off.
