Satan Salamander

by 03JTunice

Acnologia comes once again trying to kill Fairy Tail after the Grand Magic Games. But this time it's different as Igneel comes back and stops his attack from killing all the mages in the area. The battle resulted in the immense magic power reactivating the left over magic from the Eclipse gate sending Natsu and Happy to another dimension with Igneel and Acnologia still being alive.

37. Collab Side Story part 2

Hello everybody! Getting straight to the point, I really need to thank my good friend thehappy for taking the reigns in this endeavor. After learning some things that have been going on in my family I've been pretty out of it, but he really helped to make this chapter by writing like 90% of its contents. I wish I could have done more but I was really depressed in the past two months. So please, go over if you haven't already and check out his amazing stories. I'll try to post something in the summer coming up but I haven't written something in a while so I feel rusty. By the way, thehappy had already posted this chapter a while back- 2 months exactly- so I'm super late to the party. Please enjoy the read, I know I did, and thank you for the awesome reviews.

Chapter 37: DXD Collab: More friends, More Headaches (Part Two)

Kuoh Academy (Inside the magical barrier)

Natsu lit his hand's on fire, the flames calm yet heated fervently as he stared across to his opponent. Raising his magic, Natsu knew he couldn't go all out right away as he studied the female soldier. Erza stood still, her hands raised in a defense manner as each fighter stared each other down for a brief moment.

His friends were a sizable distance away, watching intently while Levy and Mira drank with that crazy watermelon.

A leaf passed between himself and Erza, the red-head's hair flowing softly as she kept her brown eyes locked on him. She exhaled, the Gear armor hiding the small movement… but it was all Natsu needed.

A burst of flames kicked out from his feet as the magical flames grew hotter, propelling him forward on a stream of fire as a grin adorned his face.

"FLAME DRAGON GOD'S PIERCING TALON!" Extending his right leg, Natsu released a vicious roundhouse kick toward Erza's head as flames billowed from his foot.

She read the attack, raising her left arm to block as flesh met armor in a staggering blow. It rattled her, but she didn't budge before she grasped the limb with reflexs born on the battlefield. Clenching tight as the man seemed to stay suspended for a moment, the knight curled a right hand fist.

"ONLY FOOLS ANNOUNCE THEIR ATTACKS!" Striking Natsu in the stomach, the male went flying with a strained 'oofh' of expelled air. Flipping to the side, Natsu barely made a landing as the smile never left his face.

"That was a good hit Er—!"

Scarlet was charging forward, her heavy boots crushing soil and grass with a small grin adorning her beautiful features. Almost in striking range, the woman let out a kick as Natsu jumped backwards. She missed, the front sole slamming into the dirt as Natsu ran forward.

"GOTCHA!"

Coating his fist on fire, the male jumped and managed to get inside Erza's guard with a heavy punch that connected with her cheek. Her head flew to the side, taking the blow as a few speckles of spit flew.

"You'll have to do better than that to beat me!" She yelled while countering with a heavy haymaker. The closed fist crashed into the man's jaw, knocking him to the side as both parties jumped back to assess their opponent. Natsu didn't give her a chance to recover. After all…this was Erza. Not the ice-pop. He couldn't make any mistakes or he'd lose! Closing the distance, he ran low and swiftly toward the knight.

"Flame Dragon God's Scything Horn!" Lowering his head, Natsu smirked as Erza planted her boots in a defensive stance. "She won't expect this!" Unleashing a bloom of flame from his feet, Natsu shot toward the red head like a bullet…and crashed cranium first into her abdomen.

"Ungh!"

It was a heavy blow…stronger than she expected as bits of spittle flew from her mouth while she doubled over. But Scarlet was used to pain…far worse than this as she grabbed the male by his hair…and kneed him in the face.

"GAH!" Natsu cried in pain…then was struck again as the woman unleashed another knee attack. His forehead throbbed from the impact, a slight dizzying of his vision before he engulfed his right fist in fire as she prepared another hit.

"TAKE THIS!" He shouted, punching her in the abdomen with all the force he could bring from the precarious stance. Flame washed over her armor, singing and marring the surface while she released her hold.

Taking a deep breath, the knight backed away a few feet as both eyed each other once more.

"Not too bad Natsu, but mine is still far stronger"

"I'd expect nothing less from…myself? Yeah, myself!" Sprinting forward once more, the two rejoined their fight as fists and feet flew. A fire coated jab was blocked, but Natsu was ready for Erza's counter as he grasped her arm…then threw her to the ground. Air expelled from her lungs, but she recovered far too quickly as she spun. Sweeping his legs out from under him, Natsu hit the ground before Erza rolled on top of him in a straddle.

"You should've slept with me Natsu…now your gonna pay…"

"YOU CAN'T PUNISH ME FOR THAT!" the man cried in fear…and barely blocked with his arms crossed over his head and chest. The woman attacked with a coiled fist, the knuckles 'thwacking' against his bronzed skin as annoyance crossed her eyes.

"I REALLY NEEDED RELIEF YOU IDIOT!" Punching again, she was thrown off by the fire mage as he squirmed away with a hint of heavy fear. Throwing a few spells of burning flame in her direction as the grass singed and smoked, Natsu wasn't surprised when the knight dodged each one.

Stopping, Natsu glared at Erza…then felt a chill crawl up his spine. She was studying him…like prey while licking her lips.

"THIS IS A FIGHT! STOP THINKING PERVERT THINGS!" Natsu pointed, his annoyance rising while Erza gave a cute pout.

"I am not a pervert. AND YOU SHOULD BE HONORED TO LAY WITH ME!" Hitting a few buttons on her wrist mounted storage device, the knight soon had a sword in her grasp as her fingers wrapped around the hilt…with a little too much force. Charging forward, the woman swung her blade as the audience watched with baited breath…or large amounts of alcohol.

Natsu rolled, ducking under the hissing steel as he sought to create some distance. However, Erza was already on him as she swung again. He blocked with his left forearm, the bone rattling as he was pushed back.

"Your very fortunate I'm taking it easy on you, Natsu. If this was a fight to the death, I would've slain you already" Erza said through gritted teeth as her opponent unleashed another flame enshrouded fist from his right…and connected with her jaw. It barely had an effect as her brown eyes looked at him with calming fury.

Headbutting the male on instinct, Natsu cried out at the surprise move…then found himself kicked across the field.

"You should give up now. If I go to my max, I'd end up destroying or killing your friends…and this school. In fact, my ultimate spell 'Raining Steel' would see the destruction of a significant portion of this city"

Wiping a few trickles of blood from the corner of his mouth, Natsu stood straighter at that statement...then grinned. After all, fighting strong opponents made him stronger!

"Your magic is that strong…then…HOW ABOUT THIS! FLAME DRAGON GOD'S DAZZLING FLAME!"

His magic surged in an instant, blowing back the grass around him as Natsu raised his hands to form a roiling orb of dazzling flame. Bits of electricity surged and popped along the surface, crackling with magical strength as Rias blushed slightly from the side from his growth and power. Natsu grew it to the size of a small car, his face filled with determination and joy.

Releasing the spell, the orb hissed through the pleasant air on a direct course with Erza. The woman smirked, lowering the sword as the ball of flame burnt a trail over the arena. Getting within five feet, Natsu smiled as he saw victory in his grasp….until Scarlet cut through the magical orb, slicing it in half as both parts flew past her. Exploding at her back, flames roiled and rose, scorching the earth behind her as her hair billowed and flew…but she was unscathed.

"WOOOO! Go Red! Teach him for not having sex..hic! with us!" Mira cheered, her voice carrying from the side while several beers littered the ground.

"That was quite impressive. I thought at least some of that attack would land" Azazel commented, his body language enjoying the show so far as the women nearby chatted.

Natsu shook his head, chocking up the words to them being crazy perverts.

"I hope that wasn't your best…" Erza said with a sinister tone as the woman took a few steps forward.

"NO WAY! Time for the big guns now, Erza!" Natsu shouted before he fell further back. "With that sword, she has the reach to land hits before I can. Not to mention years of heavy combat against monsters. And while I would like to use my Dragon Force, that seems extreme for this fight…TIME TO FINISH HER OFF AND WIN!"

Inhaling deeply, Natsu's chest began to swell as magic and fire grew. Pouring a large portion of his magic into the attack as Erza started to charge, Natsu internally smiled at the fun fight.

"FLAME DRAGON GOD'S SCORCHING ROAR!"

A pillar of roiling fire and flame pushed past his mouth, stabbing across the land toward Erza in brief moments as she held the sword with one hand.

At the last moment she dodged to the side, the flames roaring past her head with her locks flowing. She felt the blast of heat…the singeing hair and sweat on her brow as Erza started to move. Crouching low, she flanked the dragon still in the middle of launching his attack…then kicked him in the side with all her might.

'OOOFFFHHHH!" Natsu cried out as he lost his breath…and tumbled to the dirt. Several scratches and cuts appeared on his body, but he didn't have time to collect himself as he found himself pinned under the Scarlet knight's boot. She pressed down, pointing the blade away as her stern eyes bore into his.

"You lost. Give up now"

"Unghhh…I was hoping to beat you this time, Erza!" he groaned while his partner extended a hand.

"If it makes you feel any better, I haven't beaten my own Natsu in years. He is truly a capable slayer and soldier"

Taking the hand, Natsu felt a small grin graced his lips as he was pulled to his feet. "It does…a little bit"

"Good. Now, perhaps we can get some lunch…after we shower together"

"…You're just trying to do perverted things with me, aren't you?"

Erza looked away, a slight blush on her cheeks as a whistle escaped from pursed lips.

"Natsu! That was a great match…but if you get in a shower with that hussy I'll never forgive you!" Rias exclaimed, hair almost rising as Azazel chuckled.

"I'm surprised you two didn't go all out. I really wanted to see the extent of your magic and battle knowledge" The Fallen Angel asked Erza who shrugged before re-quipping into her standard fatigues.

"This was simply a fun match. Nothing to the death or where lives were at stake. Plus, based on his magical power, he's approximately on the same level as Fullbuster…maybe Laxus since you didn't use your full capabilities"

"WHAT!? I'M EVEN WITH THAT POPSICLE!?" The man shouted as he gripped his head, annoyance running through his mind. Natsu didn't even hear the part about Laxus. "I thought I'd be near Gildarts, not that stripper!"

"Wow, Natsu! You're not strong at all!" Happy cheered while flying around, his wings fluttering in the warm air.

"SHUT IT, CAT!"

"AAAAHHHHH! MIRAAAA!" Flying into the woman's arms, he cuddled up to her bosom as the take-over demon simply shook her head.

"Don't worry Natsu, I think you did great!" Asia said warmly, her eyes slightly closed with her beautiful smile.

"Actually Natsu, our Grey made it halfway through the S-class trials to face off against Erza. Then you compare him with say…Gildarts from a random universe, and I'd put my money on the ice mage to win. Please keep in mind that our natural level of magic is higher than your home Earthland so really, you should be proud to have kept up with Erza as long as you did" Mira exclaimed while Happy calmed down and climbed onto her shoulder.

"I guess…well! At least it was fun!" the fire mage said joyfully before looking around the burnt field at his friends. "So, what now? Your group still has a few days here so we should do something fun!"

"DRINKING!" Levy shouted, her stance a little unsteady while she chugged another beer.

"What about the beach? Rias' family owns a private one along the coast. And this whole weekend is supposed to be pleasant and warm" The busty devil Akeno suggested.

"I'm in! But only because you women will be in bikinis" Issei whispered that last part like a closet pervert, hands wringing at the racy images in his mind. Supple breasts…exposed cleavage and long, tanned legs…he would be in heaven!

"I am part melon and part water! I accept! THE RAGEMELON HAS SPOKEN!"

Several eyed the strange fruit, but dismissed it as the normal for the time being.

Azazel smirked while using his magic to fix the fight over the grounds, glad to see them overcoming differences. Too bad he would have to break it up as he held the I.V.D under his left arm…then set his right palm on Levy's shoulder.

"Actually, I'm gonna steal Levy and make her work in a lab, so…bye!" Summoning a transport circle that glowed orange and red, he stepped in as the woman thrashed.

"NOOOO! I WANTED TO SHOW OFF MY C-CUPS TO NAT-!" She was cut off, disappearing in a flash of light as Azazel whisked her away to who knows where.

"SERVES YOU RIGHT FOR LEAVING ME IN THAT ROOM!" Kagura yelled at the remaining sparkles of light.

"You know she can't hear you anymore?" Akeno reminded the fellow female with flowing, black hair.

"Hmmp! She's just a lust filled psychopath"

"Maybe we should wait until Levy gets back? After all, she's one of your friends…" Asia said awkwardly toward Erza and Mira. Both stood still for a moment, thinking about it in cute poses with slender fingers pressed toward their chins in contemplation.

"She wouldn't wait for us…" Erza said slowly, her head slowly nodding in agreement with herself as Mira did the same.

"Levy would want us to have fun without her. Never mind the fact she would want to show off in front of Natsu despite his insane, illogical statement to not take us to bed"

"YOU'RE STILL THINKING ABOUT THAT!? I THOUGHT I SAID I WOULDN'T FEEL RIGHT DOING THAT WITH YOU GIRLS!" He felt a hand grip his right shoulder…clenching with womanly strength. Looking back, he saw Rias staring at him with stern eyes.

"Natsu…you better not be thinking of sleeping with that…Scarlet haired tramp"

Erza stomped up, eyes flashing fire as she glared at Rias…then clamped her own hand on his left shoulder.

"Natsu. If you even begin to form the slightest thought of bedding this…crimson skank, I'll punish you. Now. Come and help me pick out a bathing suit for the beach" Pulling him along, Natsu felt himself pulled back by Rias whose eyes crackled with rivalry at the harlot.

"Actually. Natsu was going to help me prepare for the beach. So, he has to come with me"

"Bathing suits are more important than watching you stumble around like a slut"

"WHAT WAS THAT!? NATSU! DON'T TALK WITH HER! SHE JUST WANTS TO USE YOU!" Rias shouted in fury, pulling the man before Erza pulled him back.

"HUSSY!"

"WHORE!"

"I...I'm gonna die…" Natsu cried softly as both women pulled and yanked. The fact he had already taken some heavy blows during the fight did not help in the slightest.

"Hey! I'll help you pick out a bikini! I'll even judge how big your boobs look Erza!" Issei smiled with a perverse grin as he walked up and set a comforting hand on the Gear's free arm. Erza glared…teeth seething as Issei felt a chill crawl up his spine…almost like death.

And that's how the high schooler found himself kicked in the stomach and knocked out, drool escaping from the side of his mouth as Asia gasped.

"No man may touch Erza except for Natsu. The pervert will learn this" Normal Face said in an even monotone as he stepped over the unconscious body. Asia hurried to Issei's side, checking to see if he was badly wounded…but it's like the watermelon said. Knocked out.

"Natsu…choose. Bikini shopping with your childhood friend…or this crimson haired garbage dumpster" Erza whispered, her ire growing as Rias sent daggers to the rival.

"Ignore her temptation, Natsu. Help me prepare for our beach party away from this…this succubus!" Crackles of lightning left her eyes, a snap that Erza received as Akeno watched from a few feet away.

"They really are very similar. Maybe it's a red head thing?"

"Why not just make him do both! Go shopping then prepare food and drinks?" Mira suggested as Natsu looked on in horror.

"WHY WOULD YOU SUGGEST THAT MIRA!? NOW I HAVE NO CHANCE OF ESCAPING!?"

"An excellent idea. That way he can help me choose the appropriate swimwear…and I can keep an eye on…her" Scarlet whispered with a grin, her brown orbs watching Rias as she raptly nodded.

"Agreed. It's obvious Natsu cannot be trusted on his lonesome with you. I will supervise to make sure nothing lewd happens. Then, we will gather supplies for the beach"

"Very well"

Both then started to drag the crying Natsu along the ground, his helplessness almost comical as the red heads decided his fate.

"Happy…help me…"

"Sorry Natsu! Mira just gave me a fish!" Chewing with joy, the cat enjoyed the snack as the mages and devils left the area.

"YOU TRAITOR!"

Leaving the school grounds, the large gathering headed to the closest shopping district as Natsu struggled to free himself…but found it futile as Erza and Rias dragged him down the street.

"Come on Rias, let me go…" the man pleaded with desperation. He knew the horrors in store…but maybe she would listen. They were friends after all!

"If I do that, then you'll try to escape with Erza. I cannot let that happen" Grimory stated with level evenness while dragging him down the sidewalk.

"Hey…did we forget anything?" Kagura asked Mira, the demon hauling the supply of alcohol Levy had found earlier.

Thinking about it, Mira shook her head. They had everything with them and Levy was off with Azazel for the next few hours. "I guess we should ask Rias or Akeno to get Azazel to bring Levy back for our beach party in a few hours. After all, it's barely noon so plenty of time"

"I guess that's what was bothering me. Okay, works for me"

And with that, they set about their plans as Issei was left on the school grounds, unconscious with droll sliding down toward the grass…

Thirty minutes later…

Natsu felt himself forced down onto the chair in the women's bathing suit section of the store. One pieces and bikini's hung around him while a few of the saleswomen looked on in slight jealousy. If only they could get their own boyfriends to go shopping with them!

"You…you probably don't need me for this…I…I'm sure your capable of picking out a—" He sprinted toward the exit, trying to mislead the two…until Mira tripped him. Landing hard, he looked back and saw the smirking demon in her gothic clothing leering down with utmost confidence. Emitting a small shriek, Natsu tried to crawl away…but felt his feet grabbed.

"Now Natsu. You should know better than to abandon Rias on such an important mission" Akeno uttered darkly as she and Mira dragged him back to the chair. Setting him down roughly, the male saw his life flash before his eyes.

"Someone… Happy… help me…"

"Sorry Natsu. But a day at the beach with a new bikini is too good to pass up. Unless…" Her lips quivered, a few tears forming at the corner of her blue orbs, "Unless you think I'm ugly!" the fake tears rolled down her cheeks… and they worked as Natsu shot up from his chair.

"NO WAY MIRA! You're really pretty! I bet all you ladies will look great in new suits!" He shouted as Mira sniffed once more.

"Then… you won't mind staying and helping us pick out something fun?"

"I'll do my best!"

Her tears immediately dried, a warm smile forming as she felt euphoria. "Good! Now tell us which ones you think look best!" Skipping away, the demon started to eye a purple number as Akeno chatted lightly with her.

"Wait… No…she tricked me with those damn tears!" Natsu groaned as Erza walked up with Rias, both women holding a singular pair of swimwear. Scarlet had selected a white bikini while Rias had stuck with red.

"What do you think of these, Natsu?" Rias asked, her eye cocking with a questioning look.

"Um…nice?"

"He obviously needs to see us wear them so he can judge properly" Scarlet stated, her voice stern as Grimory nodded in emphasis. Turning, both strutted toward some changing rooms as several of the other women did the same.

"Did those two form a temporary alliance? By Igneel's flame, women are insane!" Looking toward the door, he contemplated escape once more as Kagura walked past with a purple and orange bikini in her hands. She nodded toward the helpless male… just as Normal face climbed onto the chair arm and stared at Dragneel with slowly blinking eyes.

"Are you here to help me escape?"

"Negative! Miss Erza asked me to attack you and restrain you if you tried to escape again!" Breathing heavily, the watermelon leaned closer as Natsu turned away nervously. It didn't help that he could feel the strange creature's breath on his neck…and low rasps.

"EVEN THE WATERMELON IS HELPING THEM!"

Sitting quietly for a few minutes, he could hear the light murmurs of womanly comments on their bodies and the removal of clothing before the first doors opened. It was obviously the two red heads, soft glares shooting at each other before they stepped forward.

If Natsu was a pervert like Issei, Gildarts, or Makarov, his jaw would've dropped. Luckily, he wasn't like that. Still…he was an adult male…and could appreciate the view before him.

Rias's suit matched her hair perfectly as the crimson locks flowed down her back. Slender legs of smooth skin raced upwards to the red bottoms that withheld certain parts from view. Trailing his view upward some more, the large breasts were barely restrained behind the bikini top as a high amount of cleavage graced his view.

Gulping, Natsu then looked at Erza. Her legs were toned…strengthened by constant running and sprinting in heavy armor as he eyed the white material covering her womanhood. Eyeing her stomach, Natsu felt a bit of pity and anger. A nasty scar graced her left abdominal, a wound from the locust as another mass of scar tissue marred the skin of her right shoulder.

But…these old wounds didn't seem to bother her as Erza leaned forward, giving Natsu a full view of her double D cleavage and a sly wink.

"So Natsu…which one is better?" Scarlet teased as she placed her left arm beneath her bust…and pushed them up slightly.

Blushing heavily, the male could only nod rapidly at the presence of these goddesses. Hearing another few door's open, Natsu was then treated to the sight of Asia, Akeno, Kagura, and Mira in equally revealing swimwear as they smiled coyly and with warmth.

He was in the company of true beauties…and there wasn't a single negative thing he could think of or say.

"I…I…I think…I think you all look great!" He barely managed to say with a trembling voice as Rias smiled at the fire mage. She knew how beautiful she looked to men…and Natsu was no exception. However, Natsu considered the fact that he could never, not in an eternity, choose between these women, knowing full well how dangerous answering these types of questions can be.

"Then I'll treat us to these new suits…even the…hussy as a sign of good faith." Rias glared lightly. But the bite of her rivalry had taken a blow. "Those scars…look years old. I can't imagine the pain this woman has gone through. BUT! That doesn't mean she gets to seduce MY Natsu! He's mine! I will ensure that this…bimbo with large breasts and scarlet hair will not succeed! …I might have to sleep in Natsu's room tonight to ensure she doesn't try anything… lustful."

"Rias? You have a weird look on your face. Is everything alright?" Asia asked in light concern as the devil waved it off.

"No no…everything's fine. Just thinking about what kind of food we will need. Now let's get changed back into our clothes so I can buy these suits and head to the grocery store."

"You better buy me some meat! A day at the beach isn't the same without meat!"

"And Fish! Lots of fish!" Happy cheered from the floor. Good thing the other customers and workers only saw a normal cat…and not some talking feline. Their poor minds would implode…never mind the fact they thought the watermelon was just some weird kid in a costume. I mean…a walking, talking watermelon would be the stuff of stories…not something hanging out in a swimsuit store.

"That won't be a problem." Rias smiled as her and the others took their next step to a sun filled day…

Azazel's Laboratory… Five minutes after stealing Levy.

"-SU!"

The transportation circle closed behind them as Levy finished her mid sentence rant. Gripping Azazel's arm, she twisted away as anger contorted her face. Eyeing the Fallen Angel several feet away, her glare was almost venomous.

"WHAT THE FUCK, YOU ASS! I WAS HAVING FUN! AND NORMALFACE WAS CHALLENGING ME TO DRINKING!"

Shrugging, the man spread his arms as computers hummed and apparatus sat silently in the large room. "Sorry…well, not really. I want to learn about all this dimensional travel. And your group only has three days to figure out what happened and why. So, let me ask you this. Would you rather be drinking on the school grounds…or working on a way back home?"

Scowling with a huff, Levy studied the large doors across the room as she crossed her arms while leaning against a table. "You're wasting your time. Yes, you gave me some info about a possible…I dunno? A Celestial god fucking with our lives? But you do know that I conducted weeks or research when we dropped off Natsumi on that one world?"

"Oh? And what did you learn?" Azazel inquired as the devil studied the female across from him.

"That the moment myself or my friends try to power up an I.V.D. we absorb the quantum particles that are essential to forming a breech. Directly into our atomic structure I might add."

"Have you thought of any theories or ideas to cancel this force?"

Levy waved her hands, annoyance rising from her body language as she momentarily pinched her nose. "You're not getting it. To pull these quantum particles from our bodies…it would be like pulling all our blood out at once while replacing our cells simultaneously. The only thing that could really counter it…is dark matter from the event horizon of a black hole…which would kill us anyway. The only thing I can think of is to let it run its course and fade naturally" Turning her gaze toward the dimensional machine on the table near Azazel, she walked over and set a hand on the powered down device.

"Listen up Angel guy…uh…Azanya?"

"I'm the Fallen Angel, Azazel."

"Close enough. I won't stop you from trying to research quantum fields and Baryon accelerators. Hell, I can help you build a Tachyon Focuser and Particle condenser for a handheld version if you want. But my main focus is trying to get that Natsu living on this world back home"

"I suspect Rias and the other girls won't like the prospect of Natsu leaving. They've grown quite fond of him."

"I'm sure they're all craving his cock in secret. But if he's like many other Natsu's in the multiverse, he wouldn't stay away. Hell, he'd probably become a dragon of two worlds like Natsumi…Ugh…you don't know the coordinates of his world do you?"

"Nor this one. Yes, we have overlapping dimensions for hell and heaven along with Earth, but traveling between them is still reserved to angels and devils"

"So useless Anvil-man!"

"I am not useless! And it's Azazel!"

"Well! At least I don't dress like a hobo! Now do you want to learn all this or not!?' Levy barked, her form already sitting at a computer as the machine powered up.

"You're such a bitch but I can't help but admire your temper." The old man smirked as he took station at another console across the table from the woman. Past the piece of technology was a fabricator… something only available to the forces of heaven and hell as human's were barely scratching the surface of that particular technology.

"Hey! I'm being super nice considering you interrupted my drinking! Grr…those lust-filled bimbos better not be throwing a beach party…think they're so great with superior height…" Muttering to herself, Levy scrolled across the screen to open the design program.

"I'm sure they are…and here you are stuck in a lab!"

Clenching her free hand like iron, her teeth clenched before she took a breath. "Remember Levy…calm…go to your happy place…"

"So, what will we work on first?" Azazel inquired as he cocked his eyebrow to the blunette.

"A Quantum signature scanner. It will be used on Natsu to start tracking his home universe. Unfortunately, since we don't know where he came from, it will have to be plugged into the I.V.D and…scan realities" Starting to design the first components, Levy started to hit keys on the board with rapidity. Sticking her tongue out the corner of her mouth, the woman delved into the work.

"How long will that take?" Azazel asked in curiosity after a couple of minutes, the woman already sending him files to start fabricating.

"To build in this lab? A few hours."

"No. I mean the scanning of realities"

"Couldn't tell ya. Think of it trying to call your house from a stranger's home…but you don't know your phone number, where you are, or where you live. Oh, and the possible versions of your home are infinite. It could be the first scanned world you try…or he could never return to his family after a hundred years of searching."

"That bad?"

"Yup…getting lost in the multiverse is no fucking joke. At least he landed on a better world than my own boyfriend did. You may be a…fallen angel, but at least you and the Gremory's gave him a home of sorts…much better than Sera. Now, let me fucking work and we'll piece it together. Who knows, maybe you'll learn something too."

Falling silent, the only sound from Levy's side was the soft clacking of keys and the humming of the fabricator as Azazel was deemed the 'part fetcher'.

Three hours later…

The varying components and bits of technology laying on the table sat silent as Azazel studied them with a critical eye.

"So…this is everything for your Quantum Scanner?"

Picking up a piece, Levy squinted under the burning lamps fixed to the ceiling. The miniscule fusion core would be enough to power the device as she set it down. Grasping the titanium handle, Levy cocked her head to Azazel.

"Yeah. Now the first step is to attach the power housing…like this." Clicking into place, the short woman demonstrated to Azazel the placement and purpose of each part as the scanning gun took form over the next few minutes. Snapping the small flash drive into the side, Levy switched it on as the barrel hummed with a soft, yellow glow.

"I have to admit…you made the design quite efficient."

"Well yeah, no duh, genius- I built a tank in my boyfriend's garage once. Used by the military now" Levy shrugged with barely a care as she turned to the fallen angel. "Now…take me to that sexy fire man so I can shoot him!"

"Ohhhh! Sounds interesting!" And with that, Azazel formed the transformation circle as blood red runes spun and swirled across the floor. Stepping into the center, he waited as Levy picked up the I.V.D and secured the scanner to her belt. Giving a quick nod, both disappeared in a flash of reddish light and left the laboratory in silence.

At the beach…Approximately 3:00 p.m.

Issei had finally caught up to the many women in his life…and Natsu at the private section of beach. Wearing his swim-trunks as warm sand shifted between his toes, all he could say was…heaven. With not only Rias and Akeno in their bikinis that showed off such beautiful curves, but Erza, Asia, and Kagura looked just as wonderous.

Unfortunately, Erza had established a 'no pervert' zone around herself and Kagura while the two lay on their stomach under a beach umbrella. Normal Face was standing guard by the females…protecting them from unwanted guests as a seagull sat on his green head.

They had removed their tops, getting the maximum sun to hit them on their lotion swathed bodies. Surprisingly, Rias was right next to Erza in a similar state as the teenage boy tried to leer. Taking his eyes off the tanning women for a moment, he saw Natsu nearby with Mira as he helped the white haired female set up drinks and snacks for their outing.

"DAMN NATSU! WHY DO WOMEN THROW THEMSELVES AT HIM!?" Scowling, Issei went back to studying the bikini clad backside of Kagura…or Rias…or Asia… any one of those beauties would be fine by him.

"You didn't have to help Natsu. I'm fully capable of unpacking our food" Mira said with a hint of warmth as sunlight bore down on them all. Good thing they brought sunblock for the day. Last thing they needed was sunburns.

"I don't mind, Mira. I was glad to help. Plus…" He nervously looked back at Rias and Erza, the duo of red head's turning to stare at him. "Plus…If I leave your side…they'll make me wait hand and foot on them all! I want to have fun dammit!"

"Natsu…I need more sunblock…you can put it on my chest this time…" Erza said in a sultry, sing song voice as the male paled.

"Put it on yourself you…flat chested sow!" Rias barked at her new rival who stared back with even eyes.

"Your just jealous because he'll choose me over your old body! What are you, ninety!?"

"YOUR OLDER THAN ME! WORK ON YOUR MATH DUMMY!"

And thus…the two began bickering once more. Good thing their tops were still off…otherwise they would be standing up and fighting for all to see.

"Yeah…it's really weird. Usually that's how we interact. Oh well. Food and drinks are unpacked and ready for consumption! Now how about the two of us go for a swim?" Mira suggested…just as red runes spun across the sand.

"Is Levy back?" Kagura inquired as she lifted herself up and covered her ample chest with a free arm and hand. Good thing she didn't know about Issei and his camera at the time…she would punish him otherwise.

Stepping out of the spinning runes as the light faded, Levy smiled as Natsu stood a mere ten feet away.

"Levy! Your back!" Natsu said with a grin as he stood with his fists on his hips…and only his bathing suit.

Mcgarden stared for a moment…eyes traveling up and down his toned abs and broad chest. While the scars were missing…and he was a few inches shorter…he was still a sight to see for many of the women on the beach. Licking her lips…the scientist finally bit her tongue to stop the desire from getting worse. After all, she had a task to complete. Smiling with a slight hint of insanity, the woman nodded as she unclasped the scanner on her hip.

"Yup! I came to join your party…RIGHT AFTER THIS!" Snatching up the gun at her side, she pointed it at Natsu.

He stood shocked…fear in his eyes as the barrel started to glow yellowish orange like the sun. "WAIT! LEVY! LET'S TALK ABOUT THIS!"

"TOO LATE! SCANNING GUN!" the shorter female cried out with glee as a wave of light washed over the fire mage.

"AAAHHHH! IT BURNS!" Cried Happy, the little cat flying around as the strange gun scanned and beeped during its readout of Natsu.

"NO IT DOESN'T YOU BLUE FURBALL!" Levy shouted out as the scanning finished in a few moments.

"I…I'm alive? JUST WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT LEVY!?" the male barked in fury, a few embers of flame in his mouth as the woman shrugged.

"Scanning device. It can help you get home" she explained normally before popping the flash drive from the side of the gun and putting it in a small port of the I.V.D. Turning to Azazel, she gave a nod. "Power this up…in hell. Not even the same plane of existence where the four of us are located. Hopefully that will prevent us from absorbing more of that quantum particle shit. Or…just wait a few days. The point is, I'm gonna enjoy this fun in the sun!" Stripping off her top and pants, Levy stood in her blue lingerie as the sun shone off her body. And despite the light scars littering her form…the C-cup breasts were a sight to behold as Natsu turned away with a light blush.

"Levy…your wearing something…lacey. And why the hell did you shoot me?"

"YEAH! YOUR BEING A PERVERT LIKE ERZA!" the cat shouted while holding a fish.

"One…it's basically like a swimsuit. And two…" Pondering cutely, she was distinctly aware of Natsu sneaking a peek at her luscious mounds. "IT WAS FUN! Now come on! We have a few days left before we probably get thrown into the horrors of some…I dunno!? Spaceship full of necromorphs or something! LET'S SWIM!" Running to the beach, she shouted toward Normal Face still standing guard near the other girls.

"Come on N.F!"

"Affirmative! Fun mode activated!" Grabbing a nearby innertube, the watermelon slid it half-way down his body before running to the water line with his arms held high. Needless to say…it was an odd sight as the creature began bobbing and sinking on the waves with a monotone look.

"Well, swimming will be fun! Can't sunbathe all day" Asia smiled warmly as Erza and Rias stood up and refastened their tops….then swooped onto Natsu as their large breasts bounced and heaved in the sunlight.

"COME NATSU! YOU CAN SWIM WITH ME!"

Both glared…then promptly dragged the man into the water for enjoyment as Mira barely stifled a giggle.

"MIRA! HELP…Glrrghhh!"

Shaking her head, the demon walked into the surf with Akeno. Feeling the pleasant water crash around her thighs, Mira felt the summer day pour down on her from an azure sky of puffy clouds.

"So much better than yesterday…a wonderful day…" Turning to Akeno, Mira's fingertips brushed the water as the watermelon bobbed by with his floating tube.

"FUN! I am swimming!"

"You're just floating!" Happy pointed as he sat on Asia's head…prompting the girl to laugh at the strange melon and his level tone.

"Akeno…"

"Yes Mira?"

"Promise me you'll protect this world. It's truly beautiful…just like mine once was. So make sure to get strong. You, Natsu…all your friends. And make sure to help him get home. There are people that love him…don't make them suffer. And…" Leaning closer, Mira whispered into the buxom woman's ear. "When he gets home…you better make sure his own Mira becomes part of the harem with you as co-queen!"

Blushing lightly, Akeno nodded before the two waded into the water and joined their friends for a fun day of swimming, sunshine and laughter…

Evening Time: Sunset at 6:00pm

After spending hours in the sun on the beach, the group unanimously voted on heading back to the Hyoudou residence. During that discussion, the fairy tail girls put up quite the fight in resisting Rias' plan. She urged the group to spend the rest of their time here in this universe residing in their club building, right where they were supposed to stay from the beginning, but unexpectedly, Natsu was the one who interjected and supported them staying with him, which utterly broke Rias' heart but she would never let that show.

So, she reluctantly made sure the visiting females would have a room and beds of their own, away from Natsu. Although he didn't really seem to care if they slept with him, he did feel worried if they tried to sleep with him, so he made them- Levy especially- submit to Rias' second and final plan. Kagura, unlike the rest, was completely fine with whatever. As they made their way back home with Erza forcing Issei and Natsu to carry all the baggage, Issei told the group that he would be getting home late as he wanted to go check on Gasper. With all the crazy happenings that the group has had to deal with, they completely forgot about the little shut-in.

Rias concurred with his statement and sent him off to meet with the second bishop, however, he was gladly accompanied by Asia who wanted to check in on him too. Permitting their leave, Rias watched them walk off as Natsu was now the one burdened to carry the leftover gear and half-emptied beer bottles. Xenovia sent them a farewell as the main group continued their way home.

Once they exited the public bus, getting elongated stares from multiple people who questioned why one male and multiple females-all half-naked I should add- were walking together, Xenovia and Mira offered their help toward Natsu as they realized, the big bundle of supplies that was now Natsu would not fit through the door, so they split the gear in order to bring them in all in one go.

With almost everyone now inside along with their supplies, now came the unpacking, getting cleaned, and getting settled. But with those new tasks in mind, Natsu was met with another dilemma: how exactly was he supposed to get clean? Obviously, he knew bathing was the way a person cleans themselves, but the issue wasn't with the shower, but the people who also needed it- specially the two red-heads that've been on his back like flex-tape on a boat.

Now with everyone inside unpacking their belongings, Natsu ditched his own hoping to his dragon ancestors that someone had the heart to put it away for him and prayed no one found him rushing away. And that meant it was time to go stealth into ninja mode.

He wrapped his scarf around his face and dove into his room while simultaneously grabbing the towel that hung by the door. Then, after scouring for fresh clothing he headed for the showers down the hall with no one downstairs any wiser.

"Hey, where'd Natsu go?" Akeno asked abruptly, ceasing the current conversation. The girls stopped their movement and shifted around silently. No one knew where he went.

"Huh, how did we lose Natsu? Actually, how can you lose a Natsu?" Levy stressed, completely puzzled by her own question. There was no doubt that Natsu was a frenzic guy with a tendency to cause trouble when there's no need. So, that begs another question: when has he ever been quiet? 'Well, usually when he's about to get into trouble.' Levy answered her own question, looking around to find any clues.

That's when they all heard the house pipes creak with the sound of rushing water running over their heads. 'That's what it is! He doesn't want us to shower with him! Sly bastard...'

This time, it was only Erza and Levy who overreacted toward the so-called 'act of treason' for Mira was beginning to understand this Natsu's reason for not being able to handle them. Though she still wanted to have him very badly, she respected his will and commitment toward them. And during this time as well, it was Kagura who had to calm them with reason. Rias, after finding out what Natsu was up to, was proud that he thought things through, although sad to think that he never considered inviting her.

Fortunately for him, the almost obsessive girls were persuaded not to intervene with his shower and they even conformed to unpacking his clothing back upstairs, just how he planned. Natsu got out the steaming shower and walked into his room where accusative eyes stood there waiting by his bed. As he opened the door, he paused half way through when he recognized those familiar scents rushing through his nose and made an easy and quick decision: he shut the door and walked away, not bothering to attempt to find new clothes; he could always sleep with this towel on. Alas, this time he could not get what he wanted as Erza saw the door get shut and immediately rushed to open it back up and tug on the closest arm in the hall that just so happened to be Natsu's.

Being dragged against his will, Natsu let the events unfold in front of him, not even bothering to fight. He was tired, and exhausted because he already had to deal with their antics for almost 8 hours straight. Now was the time to sleep, and probably never wake up. 'Yeah, that sounds nice.' Natsu thought to himself.

Levy, who was in the room only to yell at him, butted into Erza's strange speech about commitment that was very hypocritical in all points of her argument, stating, "You shouldn't sneak off like that- you belong to me!" or "We're a team, so that means you're supposed to take care of me!" and other selfish ramblings. And now it was Levy's turn to go at it.

Rias, who was in the room to stop any behavior she deemed inappropriate watched with growing discontent as the two Fairy Tail women continued to berate her peerage member. Unironically, she also wanted to give Natsu a piece of her mind about "sneaking off", but then she realized she would stoop so low as to copy that Erza girl. There was no way in Hell she would let that happen, so she sat on his bed waiting for his verbal punishment to be over. She did dislike Natsu's previous actions, but she hated being compared so often with lieutenant red-head even more.

This back and forth went on for so long switching between Erza and Levy that Natsu started sleeping on the floor he was sitting on, with both girls not catching on until Rias stopped their yelling and made them face a head-bobbing-eyes-drifting-shoulder-slumped Natsu on the ground. Quickly, and I mean very fast, they slid on the ground on either side of the now unconscious man and snuggled against his sleeping frame like hugging a giant stuffed bear for Christmas.

"If it wasn't Natsu, I wouldn't say otherwise… but he's so cute!" Levy squealed,

"Hmm, I whole-heartedly agree. You should make realistic Natsu plushies for everyone in our harem." Erza added.

Rias gasped in jealousy and anger while she pushed them off of Natsu and lifted him over her shoulder. With a large blush as he was basically naked, she walked him over to his bed and laid him down without changing. He mumbled incoherent thoughts from his mouth while his breath crawled over and around her neck causing her to tremble slightly at some points in her small walk. Levy and Erza watched as she lifted his legs over the mattress to lay him correctly and tuck the pillows under his head comfortably.

That's when a loud click was heard coming from downstairs and the squeaking door frame making its famous appearance in their ears. Obviously, that signaled that Issei and Asia were back from the school and finished the check up on Gasper. Uneasy about physically changing him into a nightgown, she felt obligated to check on her returning peerage members while asking the Fairy tail ladies to do that job for her, knowing fully well how accustomed they were to him skinship-wise.

Yes, she has slept on the same bed as him, naked even, but that's only because she was very comfortable in her own body, having no shame in showing others what she possessed, however, the opposite wasn't true when it came to seeing others in their bareback form.

Rias walked out the door with them easily complying to her demands while she went off to talk to her other family members. Sighing from fatigue, she steadily walked down the hallway with an ominous thought coming to mind.

'This is nowhere near as easy as I initially thought.'

The next morning: Hyoudou residence, Kitchen

As with most coalitions, food has always been the easiest and most accepted way to congregate many people of different backgrounds despite their present sentiment. Food is the great unifier for all races, and what better way to eat it than together.

That's what Asia thought, at least while she served the breakfast she helped make that morning. The people doing the actual cooking were Mira and Rias as Asia currently couldn't cook at an adapt level to properly serve it as human sustenance. Natsu also vouched for Mira's culinary skills for he was sure that almost every version of Mira could make a mean meal, and although she didn't need his support, Mira greatly appreciated his faith in her because she was, in fact, a great cook as he explained.

The breakfast was ready and being served as Natsu sat next to Levy on his right and Issei to his left. Issei sat, almost disgusted, at the scene playing out before him. He had already known and got used to Natsu's excessive and barbaric way of devouring food between the months that he's known him, but to watch the little blue-haired psycho nearly keeping up with him for the majority of breakfast was scary nonetheless. The more he thought about it, the more he wondered where and how the food gets digested in that small body of hers, but eventually he concluded, in order for her to consume multiple liters of alcoholic liquids almost equal to her body weight, the same logic had to apply for food too, right?

During the morning meal, even Rias and Erza seemed to be calmer compared to yesterday, sitting across from each other without one hidden glare or bad look coming from either of them from what Natsu observed. The small talk going on was enjoyable yet without the accompanied yelling or screaming coming from the Fairy Tail group, but of course, a few arguments arose between members, like Xenovia and Kagura who fought over which sword style was better suited to take out multiple enemies or between Issei and Levy about the actual useful of a sentient watermelon, which in reality, everyone was questioning as well.

Levy lost that argument by sheer majority rules.

"It's okay Master, they will all know true pain once I'm done with them." NF reconciled with his creator while Levy pouted and responded with, "Leave it. They're just ignorant is all."

This type of back and forth went on for a bit until Happy interjected with a quick but very important question, "What're we gonna do today before you leave?" That simple inquiry caused the table to become quiet. Reality really went up to their faces and gave them all a hard slap on the cheek, but he was right, what were they going to do?

The Fairy Tail women sat quietly and looked back and forth between their members, a general look of understanding overcoming the present atmosphere. The rest watched anxiously to hear their answer, not quite prepared to see them go back to the horrible death ridden life they've solemnly gotten used to.

However, their answer was like none they ever thought, "It looks like it's been decided," Erza stood up and pushed her chair away staring down at her empty plate with a serious tone emanating from her voice, "We want to have fun."

"What?" Natsu tilted his head to the side as the rest followed him.

"What?" Rias' peerage members unknowingly shifted to the side due to utter bewilderment and confusion.

What kind of decision was that?

Eventually, Erza and her team explained exactly what they meant. Because of their limited time here in this universe, they just wanted to enjoy their last moments living a carefree life before they get thrown into another more dangerous and less forgiving environment. And since they all went to the beach yesterday, now they wanted to tour the city for all the amusements it could provide.

Levy, despite her joining in on the carefree 'holiday' was still slightly worried about that device she gave to Azazel. If it didn't arrive today, she won't have enough time to explain to Natsu what it could do for him. Even with the Fallen Angel's help with the limited time given they couldn't do anything to help her and her friends' problem with the random teleportation, but Levy thought that if she couldn't help herself she could at the very least help the person she loved- or rather another version of the person she loved.

So as Levy thought about her now charging device, the rest looked toward Issei, Rias and Akeno to lead them with the knowledge they've accumulated throughout their years living in the city. Issei, being given this all-so-important task, became slightly bloated concerning his ego as he started taking charge of selecting the multiple destinations planned for that day. Rias and Akeno just sat back and watched him picking his favorite hangout sites as he earnestly asked them their opinions. Honestly, the places he picked were well thought out, consisting of an arcade, laser tag, window shopping, and multiple small restaurants that he and Natsu in particular took interest in.

"Not necessarily in that order," He added.

After the destinations were chosen and shared, everyone packed up to leave for the day. Rias even called Kiba and Koneko to join on the excursion. Although Koneko declined, Kiba happily accepted and went on his way to meet them at their first stop: the arcade.

Overall, Issei's plan was very organized. Since the first place they were going to was the arcade which was strategically placed close to the supercomplex, they could go shopping right after. Then, they'll ride the bus to go "Lazer Tag" and finally walk down the local market street of vendors and small restaurants. In short, it was going to be a fantastic day.

---

They left the house leaving both Happy and Normal Face behind due to their odd placement in ordinary society. Heading off on their first quest, they decided to walk to the destination and explore the small downtown city. Walking past the neighborhoods and transitioning into the urban area was no development as there was a stark contrast between the two areas almost nothing separating the ends of the residential houses and beginning of the tall building besides a couple of street blocks and a highway.

The Fairy Tail group thought about the convenience of how Issei's highschool was located within a mile or two of his own house. Once they made it to the large concrete container of bulky electronics, the fun had finally begun.

In reality their time at the arcade was long but conceptually it flew by like standing stagnant near a zooming train. Automatically- after registering first- Natsu and Issei shot toward the two person shooter game with the plastic guns and a widescreen. Ever since Natsu first experienced a video game and promptly was taught by Issei how to play, the two made for an unusually good team in multiplayer shooting games on the Hyoudou's own Xbox, playing games like Destiny and Halo. Now they translated their hours of virtual experience into this arcade game, gaining a score in the top leaderboards once they exhausted all of their lives.

While Rias waited to escort Kiba and Akeno went with Asia and Xenovia someplace else, Erza, Mira, Levy and Kagura went along with the two boys to see them play- also because they don't know any games to play here. Luckily for them, they quickly took interest in the first person shooter game as they watched them slaughter the virtual monsters with the differently equipped guns and grenades. Seeing as they seldomly got to play games on their own time, this was an opportunity they couldn't pass up.

Levy overheard them in their own corner and immediately got mad after making out the snarky remarks. Natsu was bragging about the new highscore on the game and talked about how that could be the only thing he could beat them at, and Issei agreed. That's when the challenge started.

She called out their comment and said if one of their teams beat their high score then Natsu and Issei had to buy them new clothes and food once they got out of there. After explaining her bet to her teammates they agreed as well, wanting to cap on the easy opportunity to burn these boys and steal their money.

Just a friendly competition.

Needless to say, due to their lack of training and total hours put in, the girls did not win the bet, in fact, they couldn't even get close. Because it's limit is two people per game with only two guns and one screen, the girls tried every combination of players to make it work, but it just couldn't keep up with Natsu and Issei's skills. So, in the end they lost terribly and now had to pay for food and clothing for Natsu and Issei.

Unsettled by the results of the competition, Mira screamed, "You guys wouldn't have won if we could actually apply real battle tactics to this game- it's just mindlessly clicking and pointing!" and then she proposed, "Double or nothing- if we beat you two in lazer tag then we get everything you were about to eat and then some!"

"Fine, I never wanted new clothes anyway. This is all on food then," Natsu smiled grimly at the thought of a full belly.

"Imagine the looks on your faces when your vest starts flashing red. It seems to me you're choosing to forfeit your lieutenant status to me and Natsu here." Issei taunted crudely, his bad gamer manners coming out unknowingly. He fist-bumbed Natsu and the two accepted the bet with delicious food and equally valuable pride on the line for both groups.

In a little while, Kiba walked up to Issei and Natsu along with Rias as both of them felt the strange atmosphere corroding between the separate entities surrounding them.

'I think I should've declined.' Kiba exasperatedly thought.

Next they went to the super mall located just a few blocks away from the arcade while Asia and Xenovia held onto a stuffed animal won by Akeno at the Crane machine, impressing even the sober likeness of Kagura, and especially Natsu who's been wanting to get the elusive animal backpack for Happy after he failed several attempts to get it.

Entering the mall was like walking into a new climate zone. The cold air conditioner hit them first, then the bright advertising lights were next. They walked about the wide empty clearing in the middle of the ground level floor, deciding on which section of the mall they should explore first. Rias suggested going to the newly installed shop on the top third floor that she wanted to observe. Unanimously, the group took the slow and relaxing escalator straight to the top, planning on starting there and working their way down to each floor.

The shop Rias wanted to check out was a small but prestigious jewelry shop that opened about a month ago. The business chain was well known for exchanging high quality items for a low and respectable price, and although she could buy anything with the amount of money her family holds, she enjoyed going out like a regular human girl, buying things at somewhat regular prices.

They made it the top and searched for the mini store before Rias shot out, "It's here!"

Walking over to the bright white light coming from the shining sign that said 'Star Gems', Erza commented on the fancy, almost completely white, and stylishly clean store, gaping at the interior- from outside it looked confined and stuffy but it was apparently well spaced.

"Of course the "Princess" would want to come to a place like this."

"It's right up your stinking rich alley."

"Hey, enough! You all agreed to come." She shouted back, slightly embarrassed by their rudeness.

The time spent at the jewelry shop was short to say the least. Rias and Mira seemed to be the only ones interested by the shiny rocks placed on display. After hearing continuous whining from Natsu and Levy, the group dispersed from the shop and headed out to explore in similar groups from before. Though there was some mix matching between people, it stayed relatively the same. Natsu and Issei went out with Erza and Levy, accompanied by Xenovia while Rias strutted along with Mira, Kagura, Akeno, Kiba and Asia.

Despite being separated they converged many times to explore the same parts of the mall, often arguments sprung up in public against Rias' wishes. She didn't want to be a hypocrite by starting something with Erza so she's been controlling herself no matter how close she got to Natsu… sometimes a little too close for her comfort.

Eventually after sight-seeing and some slight splurging done by Rias herself- she made Issei and Natsu carry her items- they finally finished examining every last inch of the mall and headed down stairs after regrouping. Unfortunately, instead of leaving like normal people would, they got kicked out by security at the last minute because Levy threatened Issei with some nasty insults- most of them involving a certain watermelon exploding in his insides- after he commented on her lack of hand eye coordination referencing back to the bet they made only hours ago.

She screamed and fumed and started talking about the monsters she had to slaughter back in her universe but before she could go in detail Akeno shut her up with a small spell that sealed her lips. Erza began laughing like a lunatic and Mira joined in her joyful stature. That was right before they had to get kicked out by security.

"Good times," Mira sighed with a chuckle.

"Shut up already..." Kagura moaned while rubbing her temples, "We can't ever live normal, can we?"

"Onward!" Issei bellowed, pointing to the next locale. Natsu and Asia followed with bright smiles on while everyone looked at the time- it was a couple hours past noon, still plenty of time to do something stupid and memorable, as if getting kicked out a supermall doesn't check that off the list.

Even though the arcade and mall were close together by a couple of blocks, the laser tag place was much farther than normal walking distance's so they settled for public transportation once again. It only took a few minutes by bus to make and when they got off, the guests were not disappointed. Similar to the brightness of the jewelry store sign, this one was very close in brightness but absolutely trumped it in color disparity. It was as if a rainbow was leading them a pot of gold, and they were walking right into it.

"Heh. Ready to lose all your money?" Mira teased with joyful mirth as she pushed through the door, keeping it open for her friends while Natsu created a tight fist in challenge.

"You mean are you ready to buy us lots of food? Cause there is no way you'll beat us!"

"Hell yeah!" Issei agreed with a grin as the two fist bumped again. They could almost taste all the burgers and fries already.

Walking up to the store employee behind the front desk, Rias gently cupped her hands as she smiled toward the teenage boy across from her. He gulped, the crimson haired beauty not lost on him as he stared with an absent minded grin.

"Hello. We would like to rent an arena for an…hour? Yes, an hour will do"

"H…how many?" the male stuttered, his eyes trying not to stare at her ample chest as the woman leaned forward cutely.

"Ummm….eleven will be participating" Rias replied as the still partially stunned employee quickly rang up the charges. Paying with her card, Rias and the others were soon directed to a corner with the equipment hanging on simple racks.

"So, what should the team's be?" Akeno asked as she fitted the harness over her large chest. It was snug…pressing against her breasts while the woman picked up the laser pistol. Eyeing down the barrel while the others got ready, a small smile adorned her lips. "This should be really fun!" Taking a quick glance at Erza and Rias, both women were equipping themselves…while glaring daggers at each other. "…I really hope those two don't go overboard…"

"Us four versus all of you! That's the only logical way! Four versus seven!" Levy cheered as Asia looked at her oddly.

"Isn't that…unfair to you four? I mean…we have Natsu and Issei?"

"It's fine. Plus, this crimson haired…hussy is going down in the first thirty seconds anyway. Hardly uneven numbers at all" Erza mocked with a knowing smile. Rias eye twitched at those words…

"Natsu…beat this woman and I'll give you a pass to eat anywhere in this city for a whole week"

"Are you sure Rias? This is just a friendly bet between frie-!" Her hand snapped up, indicating silence as the few man lightly sweated from the ominous aura.

Crackling lightning flew between the two redheads, the glare's heavy and deathly dangerous.

"You think you have a chance? I'll enjoy showering with Natsu tonight…and you won't get anything!"

"Bring it on you scarlet sow! I'll make sure he showers with me!"

The challenge had been issued…and poor Natsu. He had no idea what thoughts were racing through those two head's…but he was positive it was bad for his health. "They're at it again!"

"Group B. Please enter Arena C. The match will start after the bell. Please remember that if your shot, you must return to base and reset"

"Come on Rias. Let's get ready" Akeno urged as she pushed Rias through the door. The others quickly followed, their eyes adjusting to the low light.

It was a sizable room, decorated with ramps, plastic barrels for cover and a large score keeper up above that hung from the ceiling. Several surfaces were taped with florescent colors of orange, yellow and red to add to the atmosphere. There were two sides for opposing teams, red and blue with a tiny base that could be captured for heavy points. The four travelers went to the red side, fading into the darkness as Mira and Levy gave pre-emptive high fives.

Swirling smoke drifted around Asia's feet, the shorter blonde woman knowing she probably wouldn't last long. After all…they were up against actual soldiers that fought in battle. Taking a position near Natsu in their corner base, the young man gave her a big grin.

"Don't worry Asia! We'll beat them so much I'll even get you some lunch!"

"Heh…until this battle ends, Erza will receive no mercy from me" Rias promised, her hands already clutching the laser gun as her irises brimmed with fire.

"Did she forget what kind of things those women have fought…?" Xenovia lightly pondered, a delicate finger brushing her lower lip in thought.

"It's pointless now…just try to have fun" Akeno said with a hint of craziness. This would be the perfect time to show which women were superior.

For some reason…Natsu, Issei and Kiba felt a slipping dread grip their hearts just before the bell rang.

'RING!'

"GET THAT SCARLET WITCH!" Rias yelled before charging away from her base like a mad woman.

"Rias! Wait!" Akeno yelled…but was completely ignored by her friend as Natsu slinked away. Rias had lost her mind again…and he wouldn't be caught in the crossfire of her and Erza.

"Stealthy…like a ninja!"

Pressing his back to a tower of barrel's, the fire dragon kept his gun close while more smoke billowed down. Face serious, he swung around the corner and ran to a ramp that would lead higher above the battlefield. A light glance over the side revealed Issei moving with Kiba, the two other men sweeping through the center with caution. Seeing his team-mates still unscathed, Natsu moved down the elevated walkway toward a tiny fort of drums. It was defensible…a great strongpoint if he had to guess.

"If I was them…that's where I'd be…" Natsu reasoned, his voice a light whisper while he stepped lightly. Running softly, he felt the chest piece bounce against his shirt as a grin grew. That food would be his!

"GOTCHA!" He shouted, the man jumping around the corner and pointing…into the empty fortress.

"Wha…I was sure one of them would be here…?"

"Heh…you were half right, Natsu"

The man turned slowly…ice in his veins as Mira emerged from the shadows behind a small cluster of drums he had missed.

"Mira…the bet was uh…all in good fu—"

A light pulse erupted from her laser pistol, the harmless beam striking his chest plate as blues lit up and flashed.

"AHHHH! YOU GOT ME!" the male cried overdramatically as the first point went on the scoreboard to the red team.

"Your money buying me stuff…will be sooooo good" Mira teased before running off, her footsteps fading as the sounds of his friends resounded in the room. Sighing at his loss, the dragonslayer started to trudge back to his base to reset…and silently hoped that the others wouldn't go overboard with this.

Rias moved swiftly, ducking behind some barrels as smoke filled the room. Gripping the gun in tight hands, she felt herself tense up as shouting emerged from the left….along with mad laughter.

"HAH! TAKE THAT YOU PERVERT! YOU JUST GOT KILLED BY MCGARDEN!"

"NOOOO! I DIDN'T GET TO SHOOT ANYBODY!"

Pulses of light followed…then more wails of disappointment as Rias glanced up at the scoreboard….and nearly choked.

Red Team-4 Blue Team-0

"How are they so far ahead already!?"

"Because…we're at home in this type of environment"

Rias didn't bother looking. She vaulted the barrels, barely avoiding the blast from Erza as her rival cursed out loud. Running toward a column, Rias simply blind-fired around the rounded corner in the hopes of hitting the Scarlet bitch.

"You whore! Did you wipe out my team!?"

Erza had taken Rias's old position, ducked down as the female fired frantically. She raised her pistol, firing over the lip as light flashes of blue and red sundered the smoke filled air.

"How am I the whore when you haven't even slept with Natsu like me!? Stupid crimson hussy!" Erza shot back as she moved, sprinting to another cluster of drums. Rias saw her, the woman aiming and firing…but missing as the Gear ducked into safety by the narrowest of margins.

"STUPID! THAT DOESN'T EVEN MAKE SENSE!?" Firing again, Rias tired to buy time for her team to reset and come back out to assist her. The woman heard movement…the light thud of footsteps from her left as she quickly turned…and found Kagura getting the drop on her.

"Yeah…you guys aren't that good in a gun battle…" The black haired woman said evenly as Rias seemed to weather in depression. A small chuckle resounded from behind….and then a pulse of light as Erza fired into her back without mercy.

Her chest-piece blinked and flashed blue, indicating she was 'dead' for a minute until the system let her reset. "I've…been defeated…" Rias murmured, her body sinking to her knees as shock overcame her system. Looking up at the ceiling covered in fake pipes and ductwork, Rias clutched her head in anguish.

"Is this the last of the Gremory House!? To be bested by a Scarlet haired skank with cow tits!? Why…WHY MUST I FALL IN BATTLE!?"

"You big titted bimbo! It's laser tag!" Erza shouted…just as a pulse of light slammed into her own chest piece.

"I GOT YOU THIS TIME ERZA!" Natsu grinned as he came out firing, the man hitting both Erza and Kagura as he racked up the first points for his team.

"Grr….You will pay for this…Rias!" Erza promised with a clenched fist as she retreated to reset…

And so the battle went for the next hour, both teams vying for position as they fought and fired among the tangle of ramps, barrels, and narrow pathways. And it goes without saying that Rias and Erza fought the most, both women 'killing' each other numerous times. But…by the time the session ended, it was abundantly clear which team had emerged victorious.

Red Team-37 Blue Team-18

"My money…I won't have anything left…" Natsu whimpered with Issei as the two stepped out of the building into the bright sunlight.

"Awe…I'm going to make you buy me something expensive" Mira smirked like a demon as the two men seemed to cry like crocodiles.

"TIME FOR FOOOD! LOT'S OF FREE FOOD!" Levy fist pumped, her smile infectious as Akeno pointed down the sidewalk toward a nearby restaurant. Some passing men stared at her…then glared at the few men accompanied by such beautiful women. Luckily, the group ignored the mutterings and jealous remarks as the adults started to walk down the sun drenched side-walk.

"They have some good meals for decent prices. And wonderful shakes"

"That's good enough for me" Kagura smiled warmly. Truth be told, she had a fun time playing laser tag…mostly because it didn't have the risk of the real thing. Taking a sidelong glance to Erza and Rias, both women were lightly arguing about who killed who the most. Honestly, it was a tie…but neither would accept that conclusion. No…there could only be one.

"Hmph! You think you bested me? I shot you at least fourteen times!"

"No way you tramp! I shot you fourteen times!"

And so they argued…all the way to the restaurant as Natsu cried for his lost wages in the immediate future…

True to her word, the restaurant did have affordable prices…not like it mattered to Mira and the others. No…they wanted to rub salt in the wound with their victory over the dragon slayer. Studying the menu with a demonic smirk, Mira was nodding fervently as they took up a large, L-shaped booth for their party. Wedged between Akeno and Erza, all thought it best that the two red haired rivals not sit anywhere close to each other.

"Hmmm….Oh, that looks pricey…" Levy muttered to herself while she peaked over the top of the menu at Issei and Natsu…both of whom had pale faces.

"Please…be gentle…" Issei asked softly, praying that the women would spare his wallet too much pain.

"What? But didn't you say…what was it…?" Erza thought cutely, her pointing finger resting against her bottom lip…before her smile faded into a knowing grin of punishment. "Oh yes…You said we would be forfeiting our lieutenant status to you and Natsu"

"Me and my big mouth!"

At that time, the server showed up, a warm smile on her face as the high schooler perked up. A large group meant a good tip…unless they were stingy. "Is everybody ready to order?"

"You bet! A full order of bbq boneless wings, a blueberry shake…and…some mozzarella sticks!" Levy grinned as Natsu almost choked.

"THAT'S LIKE TWENTY BUCKS ALREADY!?"

"Yeah…and the others haven't ordered yet" Levy replied, her eyes showing a hint of warmth at the male's suffering.

"I'll have a double bacon cheeseburger with onion rings…and a large pepsi…OH! And a chocolate sundae"

"Chicken Tenders with fries…and a mountain dew"

"A double bacon cheeseburger with fries, a large Dr. Pepper…and a slice of strawberry cheesecake" Folding the menu, Erza handed it to the server as Natsu looked inside his wallet.

"My money…Is this how gramps felt when I broke things!?"

"I'll never make a bet with women again…"

"Oh…just deal with it. You'll be fine" Akeno muttered before ordering her own meal.

"Akeno is right. You made the bet and lost….if only we hadn't lost by one point…" Rias said softly under breath after she placed her own order.

A scoff was heard…emanating from the witch across the table. "What? Got something to say…Scarlet?"

"You know damn well you lost the most. Just admit it and maybe you can be the last place woman for Natsu's future harem"

"Don't act like you have a say in it!" Rias shot back, her hair lightly standing up in anger as the two glared. Lightning erupted, jumping between their eyes…until Xenovia and Kagura intervened.

"Will you two calm down? We're in public. At least save the fighting for later?" Kagura scolded with a slap upside Erza's head. Muttering as she rubbed the spot, Erza huffed before leaning back in her seat.

Taking a quick look at Rias, Natsu saw her calming down with a huff. Crossing her arms beneath her bust, the woman decided to strike up a small conversation with Asia.

"Phew…these two…are waaay too similar. And last thing I need is them deciding on who I date or not! Plus, a harem would just open up a whole can of problems! Gah! Why are women so insane!?"

"Hey Natsu?"

Dispelled from his thoughts, the male looked at Levy as the woman leaned forward with a…non -crazy smile.

"Uh…yeah?"

"We should do a group photo after this! That way you can prove to your own guild that there is in fact a super amazing version of Levy!"

"That sounds fun. But why would you need to prove it to my guild…if I ever get back?"

"To light the fires in her heart for science! And to hopefully steer her away from spending time with that…uh…metal man? God…what's his name?" She pondered, eliciting a sigh from Mira.

"Your thinking of Gajeel. The guy who tends to be on your team in almost every version of Earthland we come across"

"So that's his name…I thought it was rust-bucket McMetal face…"

"I'll have to remember that. But sure, a big picture would be fun!" Natsu smiled with his signature grin that made women swoon. "I just hope Erza and these other women don't try anything! Who knows what they're plotting!?"

"I'll be right between Erza and Rias! A hottie sandwich…" Issei murmured with a perverted grin as both women shook their heads fervently side to side.

"No way"

"I'd rather be near Natsu"

And that was one of the few times both women agreed on an issue.

Slumping in his seat at the shut down, Issie was left alone to his depression as the food finally arrived.

"ALRIGHT! TIME TO EAT!" Levy practically shouted as the short woman started to dig in and consume.

"Levy! Control yourself!" Kagura scolded before she started to eat her own meal with gusto.

"But it's a free meal from the boys! What's not to like!" *Slurp*

"Don't remind me!" Natsu barked as the four travelers ate with a fervor…that was slightly disturbing.

"Ugh…by the great satan…she eats like a pregnant sow!" Rias cringed while watching Erza eat for a moment. But figuring her mouth was stuffed with burger, it wouldn't do to start another squabble while everybody was enjoying their lunch.

Natsu cried while opening his wallet, releasing the tiny moths as they all stood outside the restaurant. They had cleared out every cent…every dollar he had!

"I feel your pain…I have nothing left…" Issei cried lightly as both males shuddered at the loss of finances.

"Oh man! That meal paid for with Natsu and Issei's money was the best! I'm totally stuffed!" Mira gloated while patting her full stomach.

"Indeed. It was doubly delicious since it was free" Erza smiled as Levy let out a small belch.

"It wasn't free at all!" Natsu wailed. Feeling a light hand on his shoulder, the man found Rias smiling at him.

"Don't worry, I can pay for the photo booth. And the meal was enjoyable…despite our company…" Glaring lightly at Erza, Rias was now convinced she was a dirty slut cow.

"The way she ate! It was like a ten dollar whore in a filthy alley! Disgusting, whore woman! Just you wait! Once you leave, Natsu will be mine!" Clutching her fist, Rias wasn't aware of the ominous aura around her as Natsu tried to escape her grasp…but failed as the female squeezed his shoulder.

"Rias? You okay?" Akeno asked her dear friend. Shaking her head, the devil smiled as she came out of her mindscape.

"Yes? Why?"

"You were making weird faces again. And we're about to head toward the photo hut down the road"

"I was not making weird faces. It was…the sun…and shadows"

"No…you were making ugly faces. Probably practicing for your porn videos as multiple men take you over and over. But…that's what I expect from a crimson haired skank" Erza shrugged simply before turning away.

"WHAT DID YOU SAY!?"

Sticking out her tongue, Scarlet started to walk with the group as Rias glowered.

"HEY ERZA! The bus stop is only two blocks away! I'm sure you can find lots of customers in the men's bathroom while you're on your knees!"

"Oh…it's on now!" Both women got in each other's faces, glaring death and daggers as they started to shout increasingly vile and horrid insults. Mostly about their sexual practices and orientation.

"OH NO YOU TWO DON'T! WE'RE STILL HAVING FUN!" Mira and Akeno yelled as they both grabbed the bickering red-heads and started to drag them down the street…which didn't do anything to slow the flying insults as the large group headed toward the last activity of their outing…

The Next Day…one hour before shift. Kuoh Academy

The last twenty four hours had been a blast for most of the friends gathered. The photo hut had been lots of fun…despite Erza and Rias almost getting them kicked out for fighting and…sexual name calling around children. Luckily Akeno had saved the day…along with Levy who provided triple the rates for the pictures if the manager promised to leave the police out of it.

It made you wonder where she had the time or opportunity to earn money. But Natsu had a sinking suspicion it hadn't been legal…at all.

However, despite the…almost fight between the two red-head's that encompassed their sexual tastes to which one of them would claim the fire dragon for themselves…which Natsu tried to deny and break up vehemently, the pictures went well. Some were taken as a whole group, others with just two or three as Mira and Akeno shared some poses to great appeal. Of course, Levy insisted that Natsu posed with the four of them to quote in her words. "Make your Levy super jealous and start the process of blunette lust"

This didn't go over well with Erza and Mira who vied for his flanks…and tried to whisper suggestive things he could do to their doubles when he returned home. Needless to say, half his pictures with those four were him brighter than a tomato.

After their final one as a big group…with Rias and Erza practically squeezing the life out of said man in an effort to 'win' they decided to return home and watch some marvel action movies. Xenovia ordered pizza that night as they watched 'Iron Man' …which made Levy brag about how she could probably build such a suit if she wanted.

They ended up staying awake till almost two a.m. during the movie marathon…which resulted in Natsu falling asleep in the center couch.

He woke up with Erza and Rias pressed against him. And even in slumber, those two were throwing mumbled curses at each other as he tried to sneak away to shower.

The demons woke at that moment and only the timely intervention of Happy saved his life from their…womanly desires as he bolted to the bathroom.

After that whole fiasco of juggling who showered next and when, Asia served breakfast with Mira while Issei made sure the four to leave soon had pictures of their time here.

But…as the hours ticked by, the four travelers and their watermelon knew…it was growing short with each tick of the clock. They had re-equipped their armor and weapons, each sparkling clean. Erza had her digital re-quip device strapped to her left forearm while Levy had her quantum reader. Each woman had checked and rechecked their equipment, knowing that the next universe could be deadly. The last thing they needed was a gun jamming or forgotten ammunition in battle.

But now…now they were outside the school, talking idly with each other as the last hour passed…

"Grrr! Where is that homeless man! I have something important for that sexy dragon…that refused to even play with my breasts!" Levy ranted with a shout as she raised her fists to the darkening sky.

"YOUR STILL ON ABOUT THAT!?" Natsu roared, he distress palpable as several devil women glared his way.

"Miss Levy was quite serious about you giving her sexual satisfaction during her short vacation"

Happy heard this, his eyes going wider while his cat brain connected the dots. "Ohhh…so your saying is Natsu and Levy are gonna make babies?"

"That's right Happy! He'll have no choice in the matter!"

"Don't fill his head with your insane lies, Levy!" Natsu barked before sighing. "These women…only Kagura is the normal one!"

"He should be here soon. Does it have to do with that…strange gun you shot Natsu with at the beach?" Akeno asked simply. Receiving a nod, Levy was about to speak…just as a crimson gate of spinning runes erupted from the earth. Stepping through was none other than Azazel, the fallen angel holding a powered down I.V.D.

"Oh good. I didn't miss your send-off…huh? I suspected you would be drunk right now you midget"

"At least I don't smell like…a rotten cheesewheel!" Grabbing the device from Azazel, the scarred bluenette walked over to Natsu and his gathered friends. Pushing it into his open hands, the man looked confused.

"Uh…isn't this that dimension thingy?"

"Plus, the scanner device. It's powered down right now, but I want you to have it"

"Your…leaving this here?" Rias asked in surprise as she stepped near the dragon slayer and eyed the machine in his hands.

"Not like I need it right now with all that…absorption shit going on…or some celestial fucking god shitting on our lives" She finished with a pause and wave before pointing at the man. "Be fucking careful with that! Don't spill drinks on it. Don't over-load it! Don't dick around with it unless Az…Aziz is there to help!"

"Azazel"

"Whatever! The point is, this thing will continue to scan for your home Earthland until it finds a match due to your quantum signature. It won't confuse you with a different world or anything since each reality has its own… 'address' the mage air-quoted as she finished explaining.

"Wait…you mean…This will take Natsu home…away from all his friends?" "Away from me?" Rias contemplated in her mind, the thought making her heart constrict at the possible loss of Natsu.

"I…we…can't lose Natsu…" Asia whispered, her face scrunching up in tears as the man lowered his head. Looking around at Rias…Akeno, Xenovia…all those gathered….even Issei, he knew what he had to do.

"I'm sorry Levy. I know your trying to help, but I can't leave…not with Acnologia threatening this world. He's still out there, and I can't let him go on a rampage of destruction. I would never forgive myself if I cut and ran home leaving him to destroy this world"

Mira sighed, pushing the bangs past her light scar as she shook her head in disbelief. Wearing her Gear armor once more, the woman groaned at the man.

"You idiot. The I.V.D. would let you come and go between your home Earthland and this world whenever you wanted. Hell, you could take your new friends here to meet Lucy, Cana, Gildarts, the old man…and all your other friends"

"Besides. If we knew you planned on being a coward and running without even trying to protect these new friends of yours, I'd cripple you" Kagura stated matter of factly as she lightly pulsed her magic.

"Oh…hehehe…uh…thanks?" Natsu replied…while rubbing the back of his head nervously. "I take it back! Kagura is just as bad!"

"WOW NATSU! I think Kagura wants to make babies with you too!" Happy cheered as he grinned with warmth and innocence. "I wonder how many fish I would get…?"

"HOW DID YOU COME UP WITH THAT! I'M NOT EVEN INTERESTED YOU FURBALL!"

"AHHHH! NATSU! Kagura is shouting at me for no reason!" the panicking cat cried as he flew around and around in terror of the dark haired woman.

"It's your fault she shouted at you in the first place!"

"RIAS! HELP!" Flying toward the crimson haired devil, the blue cat nuzzled against her shoulder. Comforting the cat, she smiled in warmth. "Natsu won't leave me…I don't think I could survive if he left forever…"

The pleasant thoughts were interrupted however as Erza approached the male…and set a gloved hand on his shoulder. "WHAT IS SHE DOING! DOES SHE PLAN TO KISS HIM BEFORE ME!?"

"Natsu"

"Uh yeah…Erza?" the man asked warily. Knowing her…it could be something very perverted. Especially with all the times she's tried to seduce him the last few days…despite his adamant refusal.

"I would like a promise from you"

"Suuurreee?" he asked with extreme caution.

"What is she planning?"

Looking into his eyes, the knight tried to smile. "I want you to take care of your friends…even that…imitation red-head. But! Once you make it home after defeating Acnologia, you will seduce your Erza and make her queen of the harem!"

"YOU STARTED SO SERIOUSLY!"

"Now, there is a chance that Jellal might be an issue. You'll need to drive him away or kill him. She won't need that type of negativity in her life…especially after you two start dating"

"She didn't even register the fact he spoke just now!" Everybody thought as Mira swarmed up and placed her hand on the other shoulder.

"Natsu…you better confess your love to my double! She will keep you happy, healthy…and very satisfied in the bedroom on your marriage night as you take her as your queen!" the white haired demon instructed as the on lookers could only feel…pity for Natsu. After all, several others were glaring heavily at the stuttering man.

"Excuse me Mira, but Natsu needs a strong woman at his side…like my double. Not…OH CRAP!" Erza clutched her head, sheer anguish and terror crossing her eyes.

"What!? Did you forget something at the house?" Akeno asked in a light panic. Knowing that only a few minutes remained, there was no time to collect anything forgotten.

"NO! What if…what if?" Erza paused, the female grasping the scarlet hair before pointing at Rias. "WHAT IF YOUR ERZA BECOMES BEST FRIENDS WITH RIAS!? AUUUUGHHH!"

"THAT'S WHY YOUR FREAKING OUT AT THIS POINT! THAT YOUR DOUBLE MIGHT BE FRIENDLY TOWARD ME!?"

"This is awful! Natsu! Promise me you'll screw Erza's brains out while Rias watches from the closest like a loser!"

"I'M NOT PROMISING THAT!" the man barked with angered fury. But it was quickly forgotten as the first particles of light started to waft upward from the four women. Oranges and blues…deep purples and yellows…it all flew outward as Levy picked up Normal-face. Clinging to her back, the woman gave a thumbs up to the gathered devils and friends.

"Thanks for dealing with us! It's been fun! And visit one thirty seven C when all this craziness ends!"

"Stay safe! And I hope to fight Dragneel someday!" Natsu cheered with a big grin. Happy had rejoined him, waving and lightly crying from his shoulder as the goodbye's flew.

"Good luck! I hope you make it home soon and win your war!" Akeno waved as Rias gave one final smirk at Erza…who was almost bathed in light at this point.

"Don't die, Scarlet"

"You too…Gremory"

"Natsu! Make sure to pound your Mir-!"

Strauss and the others disappeared in a flash, leaving the peerage to stand alone in the gathering night as Natsu clutched the I.V.D. Ignoring that last partial sentence, the male looked up at the velvet sky with worry.

"I really hope you can save your world…."

"Welp! I'll be taking that back!" Azazel clapped joyfully before ripping the dimensional device from the dragon's grip.

"Hey! I was gonna turn it on"

"…mmm….NOPE! I'll be monitoring this wonderful technology! Besides, you have bigger things to deal with" Azazel smirked before summoning a circle and stepping through.

"Huh? What is he talking…about?" Natsu trailed off as he turned…to the waving hair of Akeno and Rias. Their eyes were like satan himself…glowing red with death as both reached for him.

"If you think you'll be laying with Mira at any point…your mistaken" Akeno whispered while grabbing one of his arms.

"You've been tainted by that…Scarlet witch and all her lustful ideas. I'll have to deprogram you of her slutty morals!" Rias cried with anger while grabbing his other arm. Starting to drag the helpless man toward the Occult club, all Natsu could do was cry.

"Issei! Asia! Xenovia! HAPPY! SOMEBODY HELP ME!"

"Nope"

"No way"

"Do you want me to anger the president?"

"Fish!"

"TRAITORS! THE WHOLE LOT OF YOU!" the male screamed one final time before he was dragged inside…with two furious women ready to beat…er…teach Natsu the merits of why he shouldn't sleep with any version of Mira or Erza…ever.

"NOOOOOOOO!"

And part two is done! Although I couldn't write much I enjoyed reading this when he sent it to me. This guy- my partner- has the most bipolar writing I have ever seen; somehow he writes gruesome death scenes with such detail that I feel physically repulsed, and other times, like this, his writing becomes so goofy and bizarre I wonder If it's the same person. Amazing. Anyway, please check out my other stories and give some feedback, I like those snarky reviews and I promise I'll start answering them again in the next chapter. Also, I almost forgot, the next chapter is definitely canon like it's going to follow the original story, then after that, I'll add a chapter of Natsu in Hell. SO read, review, and Share Mihos!

This is thehappy and Tunice signing off!
