Hello my fellow readers, writers, and people who have been enjoying this story and my others so far, I'm back with yet another new chapter. In this chapter we'll be going over the events of the 86th episode of Fairy tail titled Erza vs. Erza which what happens is pretty self-explanatory but I feel like working on episodes that aren't filler in my opinion.
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.
The soldiers that were about to fight us before our Erza and Grey pretty much busted in were honestly shocked by how alike they looked. One of them looked at knightwalker and said in confusion "Captain Erza" and another one said "hold on is that Grey surge" and another said "no they're both Earthlanders" and they all gasped at that.
Grey said "you guys have some explaining to do" and held his hands in his normal maker position and said "where are our friends that your king turned into a lacrima" and without actually calling out a spell he created a huge amount of ice spikes on the floor which stopped just short of us. Knightwalker however tried to get strike Grey with her spear while he was off guard somewhat but our Erza ran it and intercepted the spear with one of her swords.
A giant gust of wind which threatened to knock us all back blew out from the connection between the spear and sword. We then heard Natsu's voice yell "you asked for it you guys are in big trouble now I'm going to beat the shit out of every single one of you." Lucy said "wow Natsu" and Grey said "yeah he must be nearby" and Happy said "it came from up ahead."
Carla said "and I bet Wendy is with him" and I said "well what are we waiting for let's go rescue dumbass and my sister." Erza said "go on Grey I can handle this" and I noticed one of the soldiers that was caught up in Grey's ice spikes had my bag on him so I snatched it back. I said "here take these two for backup Erza" and I reached into my bag and threw two of my golems at the ground on either side of her.
She looked at me for a moment and smirked and as we were standing up Grey froze the slime shackles which apparently under very cold temperatures shattered. Lucy said "where the heck did you guys come from" and Grey said "I'll give you all the detail later let's go" and we ran off while both Erza's were going at it.
Erza's P.O.V.
As the others moved away my Edolas counterpart said "I never thought I would face off against myself" and I retorted "quite an odd feeling indeed." My counterpart said "I'm the commander of Edolas's second magical warfare unit my name is Erza knightwalker." Since we were doing this I said "I'm a wizard from Earthland's fairy tail and my name is Erza scarlet."
Knightwalker said "well pleasure to meet you Earthland version of me" and her weapon of choice started glowing with yellow light and turned into a spear. She said "now let's see what you're made of" and she called out the spear's name which I didn't quite hear but at least this form of her weapon increased her speed.
I just barely managed to dodge as she charged right at me and I said "she's fast in that case" and I requipped into my flight armor which also increased my speed. The golems that Hope had left behind were looking around for knightwalker but they were just too slow to be able to keep up with out speed even with their eyes.
Knightwalker seemed to be surprised at the fact that instead of my weapon changing only my armor had also changed and I used that to catch her off guard for a moment and managed to get a small hit in on her. She changed her weapon again which while it did slow her did she managed to get a hit in on me that sent me through one wall and made a large indent in the one on the other side of the first wall.
She then changed her weapon again which caused an explosion to happen around me which if it weren't for me quick reflexes and requipping into my flame empress armor that would have hurt quite a bit. I heard her mumble "how does she keep changing her armor like that" she said to me "your magic allows you to change your armor and weapon simultaneously."
I shot back at her "it seems unfair doesn't it since you're only able to alter the form of your weapon" and she said "it may seem that way to you but my battle power is boosted by the form of my spear." I said "while the principle is different the result it's effectively the same as the knight requip I use in combat."
She said "let me give you a taste of the true power of my magical spear with the ten commandments" and I readied myself with my sword guarding.
Hope's P.O.V.
Grey had explained where he and Erza had come from which was like we were told a lacrima and Lucy said "wait you mean the lacrima in the plaza." He said "yeah that's the one it turns out that me and Erza happened to be trapped inside of it" and Lucy said "wow seriously." Happy actually hit the nail on the head with the next question he asked "but how were you guys able to turn back to normal."
Grey said "it's all thanks to Gajeel" and he explained how they had been shocked that they couldn't use their magic, how Gajeel got them away from the army, how Edolas Gajeel filled them in, and how Gajeel had given them these things called X-balls which seemed to be the reason some of us from Earthland could use Earthland magic while others couldn't.
Happy said "that's right I almost forgot that Gajeel's a dragon slayer too so it makes sense the anima didn't work on him either." Lucy said "so I guess all the dragon slayers were left in Earthland" and Grey said "according to Gajeel it was Mystogan who told him to come here." I was racking my brain trying to remember who Mystogan was and I looked at Grey and said "you mean the guy who keeps his face covered most of the time, and carries multiple staffs on his back."
He nodded and I said "if he knew what was going to happen why didn't he just seek us out" and Happy said "that's a question for later." Lucy said "but I don't get it why didn't he come here himself" and Grey answered "because apparently dragon slayer magic is capable of lots of things that no other kind of magic can do in this world.
They even have the power to change everyone who's stuck in that lacrima back to normal" and Carla seemed shocked as she said "really." Happy said "me and Carla saw that lacrima earlier and I know exactly where it is" and Grey said "you think you could get close to it." Happy responded with his usual "aye" and Grey said "I guess that means we can call off Gajeel he's rampaging through town looking for it as we speak."
Grey squatted down so he was closer to Happy and said "are you sure you'll be able to lead him straight to the lacrima" and Happy responded "I'll take him there as long as you're sure he can change everyone back." Grey said "well he's our only hope I mean Natsu and Wendy have the power to do it too but I'm pretty sure neither of them know how."
Happy said "don't worry me and Gajeel will get our friend back right now" and Lucy called after him "wait are you sure you're going to be okay by yourself Happy." Carla said "he'll be fine" and I said "wow I'm pretty sure that's the first time you've had faith in him Carla." Grey said "we better get going we have to find Natsu and Wendy" and after running for a little bit Lucy said "look there's a door up ahead."
I said "must you really point out the obvious all the time blondie" and she said "I was just pointing out that there was a door in case neither of you saw it." I said "sure" and I blasted the door open with one of the golem stones that I always set aside as bombs whenever that situation calls for it. As the door were blasted off their hinges we saw Natsu and Wendy were laying against giant stones and apparently out cold.
I ran over to Wendy while Lucy and Grey went over to Natsu and I said "she's out cold but at least she's alive" and Grey started shaking Natsu as Lucy confirmed he was out cold too. Grey said "hey this is no time to be sleeping on the job wake up already you lazy pyromaniac" and Lucy said "geez you don't have to be so rough with him Grey."
I said "hold on do you happen to have any of those x-balls" and he said "yeah I got three of them left" and I said "pass me two of them one for me since I didn't get one and the other for Wendy." Grey said "what about Lucy" and I said "she's most likely been given one by Mystogan since he sent her here as well and she can use her magic."
He passed two of them to me and I put the one that was for me in my pocket and I put the second one in Wendy's mouth and slowly guided it down her throat so she wouldn't choke. As they pretty much force fed one to Natsu he started coughing since they weren't as gentle about it as I was. As he was getting over his coughing fit Lucy said "are you okay" and he slammed a fist on the ground and ignited it.
He said "yeah but we got to hurry and stop 'em" and Lucy said "wait stop who" and instead of responded with words he shot a torrent of fire out of his mouth and ran out of the room. As Wendy started waking up which I'm assuming it took her longer because she was younger and she said in a raspy voice "oh hey Carla, sis" and Carla said "are you hurt" and I said "I was going to ask the same thing."
Wendy said "no I'm fine but the others are in trouble" and since I didn't feel like the others playing a game of 20 questions as usual I asked "you mean the ones still stuck in the lacrima." She nodded and started explaining "it's horrible the royal army is going to destroy Extalia by crashing the giant lacrima directly into it.
All our friends in Fairy tail are in danger because the king is going to use them as a bomb" and I said "not on our watch."
As we were trying to think of why the king was going to use our Fairy tail as a bomb Lucy said "I'm not sure if you've noticed but Edolas has islands that float in the sky." I said "okay I'm going to list off two options here and you tell me which one is closest to the truth ok Blondie." She said "okay then" and I said "either you think we're all blind or you think we're stupid" and before she could respond Wendy slapped me on the arm.
I looked down at her and said "what" and at the look she gave me and I said "okay fine sorry but yeah we've noticed we had to cross a few of them when we first ran into this worlds Fairy tail." Lucy continued "there's a bunch of them apparently Extalia's magic power is what keeps them afloat. What's more the book I read says it's what maintains the magical balance of this entire world" and Grey said "and you think our guild mates are stuck on one of those floating islands."
Carla chimed in "yes they're on one that's very close to Extalia both Extalia and the island containing the lacrima that hold our friends are located above the royal city which is where we are now." Wendy said "the royal army is planning on hitting the floating island with a bunch of dragon slayer magic. They want to speed it up so that it will crash directly into Extalia" and Grey said "what will happen then."
Wendy said "they said that when their power collide it's going to cause a gigantic explosion in the sky and their magic will fuse together. Then magic power will rain down on the kingdom forever" and Lucy said "but if that happens then all our guildmates" and I finished "die" and Grey said "you know you could sugarcoat it."
I said "with what I've experienced I don't sugarcoat things I just say it bluntly" and we heard footsteps coming down the hallway to the room we were in. Grey said "hear that someone's coming" and Lucy guessed "the guards" and Grey said "we'll see" only for it be revealed a moment later as Natsu who was screaming in complete fear.
Grey said "you scared us Natsu" and he started freaking out "did you see that there are two Erza's as if one wasn't bad enough it's terrifying. A showdown between those two monsters if that's the case the world is doomed I tell ya" and Natsu finally noticed Grey and pointed at him and said "Are you my Grey or weird Grey."
Grey said "I don't know what you're talking about but if you don't cool it you're going to get a left hook to the jaw pyro." Lucy said "that pretty much answers that he's Earthland Grey" and Natsu said "it's you" and Grey said "a lot of stuff happened and now I'm here Erza and Gajeel too" and Lucy said "Happy's taking him to stop the lacrima."
Wendy said "wait you're the real Grey why didn't you say so" and at a depressed look on Grey's face Carla said "what you just now noticed" and she said "uh huh." Grey looked even more hurt by that statement and I said "I guess you are more like me than you thought only you weren't trying to be." Grey tried making excused for her "I get it you didn't recognize me because it's so dark down here right.
It's not because I'm some lame-o whose practically invisible to you" and Lucy said in exasperation "would you quit sulking." Natsu said "wait did you just come down and save us a minute ago oh and you're okay too Lucy and you too Hope." Lucy actually managed to come up with a snarky comment pretty much as quickly as I could "I guess all you dragon slayers are oblivious huh" and Wendy tried fixing what she said to Grey "I'm sorry I offended you Grey I didn't mean to I promise.
Thank you so much for saving us" and she did the weird bowing thing that sometimes people do over here. He said "eh don't mention it" and then she said "I didn't forget about you Carla or you big sis" and she scooped Carla up and hugged both of us." Natsu said to Grey "dude you're shirtless in front of the kid not cool" and he said "I am when did that happen."
I said "okay when we get back to Earthland where I can actually create a portal to Legerdomain I'm going to find a spell that makes it so you can't act on your stripping habit." Lucy said "you've been that way from the start Grey" and after a little more idle chitchat Natsu said "okay are you guy's ready let's go find the king and stop him from crashing that lacrima."
Both Lucy and Grey said "yeah" and started heading in the way Natsu was facing before he said "no wait we can't go that way that's where the two monsters are fighting this way" and he pointed down another corridor. Lucy said "we can't just leave Erza to fend for herself" and both of them must have had the same mental image of both Erza's going at it as hard as possible and Grey said "you really want to get in the middle of that" and she said "good point."
The three of them ran off while I stayed with Carla and Wendy who said "Carla I think we should go to Extalia." Carla seemed shocked and said "that's foolish" and Wendy said "We need to warn them about the royal armies plan and help everyone escape." Carla said "I don't understand I thought we were going to stop the attack" and Wendy said "we can't just let the king do whatever he wants.
I know Natsu and the others will stop him but what if the king and his royal army have other weapons we don't know anything about. This is the only chance we have to warn them they have the right to know their citizens could be in danger." Carla said "no I'm not going back I couldn't care less about what happens to those horrible creatures" and Wendy said "you know this has nothing to do with being human or Exceed.
If there's something we can do as fellow living beings then we have to do it" and Carla seemed to be thinking everything Wendy said over with some sort of flashback. Wendy said "I promise I'll always be right by your side no need to be afraid okay" and Carla still looked conflicted before finally saying "okay I'll go" and I said "I'll stay down here and assist the others if they need it" and I ran off in the direction the others had gone.
Gajeel's P.O.V.
I was currently having some fun knocking around the royal army soldiers that decided it would be a bright idea to fight me for some reason when salamander's cat flew toward where I was shouting my name. I said "hey cat good to see ya" and he said "I know where they're keeping the lacrima that the others are trapped in so I'm going to take you there."
He picked me up without so much as a warning and I said "hey wait a second get your paws off of me" and he asked me "did you have to anything special to change Grey and Erza back to normal." I scoffed and said "just smash it dragon slayer magic" he asked "really how did you know that was going to work" and I was starting to get annoyed by all his questions and I said "I just did what Mystogan told me to do.
Do you have a problem with that furball" and he asked "is Mystogan somewhere here in Edolas" and I said "I don't know." As he landed on the island where the lacrima was I was kind of shocked by the size so much so that I could say "wow it's huge." He said "it's even bigger than I imagined" and he said "of course it is talk about a high maintenance guild."
My stomach started growling and I started getting ready by popping my arm and I said "I expect all the iron I can eat when we get back." He said "you can have as much as you want" and I prepared to get it however the ground under me exploded and I just barely managed to get out of the way to avoid too much injury."
I looked up and saw that it was a large humanoid cat with a huge sword and all I could say is "that cat's got a major sword." Salamander's cat must have had a run-in with him before because he said "not you again" and the cat with a sword announced his title and said "the royal armies first magical warfare unit captain known as pantherlily.
My guard operation is dependent on this lacrima make one more move and you're dead" and Salamander's cat said "those wings does that mean he's an Exceed too." I said "just stay out of the way" and I formed my arm into a blade and I called out the attack "Iron Dragon's Sword" however he dodged it and he called out an attack "Buster form" and his sword increased in size and reach distance and he charged right at us.
I just barely managed to get out of the way and retract my sword arm as he struck the island we were on which caused part of it to fall off. I heard Salamander's cat mumble "don't you think a sword that big is overkill" and all I could say was "man he's strong." He said "valiant effort but you won't defeat me"
Hope's P.O.V.
I had managed to catch up to them and just as I did Natsu said "so any idea where this jerk of a king might be hiding" and Grey said "well seeing as how he's a king and all I would bet he's in a high and mighty place." Both of them butted shoulders and Natsu said "I was asking for specific's frosty" and Grey said "how would I know like I've ever set foot in this castle before cut me some slack would ya."
Lucy said "cut it out you guys" and I said "I got this" and I threw one of my condensed golems between them and it expanded and grabbed both of them by the back of their shirts. Lucy said "I don't understand the layout of this place the cells are really high up and the courtyard is really complex I've heard about concentred castles but this isn't quite like those.
It's just so different from anything in Earthland it's going to be difficult to figure out" and Natsu said "what are you blabbering about over there Lucy." Grey said "I know the layout is weird but is it really that crazy" and Lucy said "afraid so in fact it's so crazy that I wouldn't be surprised if they were hiding an amusement park in here somewhere."
I opened a door and said "well I know that was sarcasm blondie but I think I just found the amusement park that they're hiding." Everyone was shocked by the amusement park Lucy said "I was just kidding" and Natsu said "wow this king is a total nutjob" and he got a freaky look on his face. Grey said "you don't have the right to be calling anyone else a nutjob with a look like that on your face."
We started walking through the amusement park and after about 10 minutes a carousel started up and a guy with a bizarre blonde hair style wearing pink armor said "mmm I just love carousels. They're so much fun you want to give it a try" and a giant ship was coming behind us and we just barely managed to get out of the way of it.
A guy with mostly black hair but a with a single strand of white wearing what looked like normal clothes said "who knew that unlimited magic power could be such a blast. It sucks to know that we're going to be running out of it really soon" and I said "maybe if you guys didn't flaunt it like you're doing now there wouldn't be so much demand for it that you have to sacrifice an entire race of living beings."
He seemed to have ignored me and said "it makes me so mad" and the pink armor guy said "mm hmm our kingdom is going to obtain everlasting magic power and we're willing to do whatever it takes to make it happen." The guy on the boat drew a sword and said "I hate to admit it but we're desperate so if anyone gets in our way we got to cut them down."
Yet another chapter done in the next chapter we'll be going over the events of Episode 87 of Fairy tail titled we're talking about live here which I am glad because it brings me closer to the end of this arc. The main reason for that is because personally the tenrou island arc is personally one of my favorites right behind the phantom lord arc.
In terms of this arc and my favorites I would have to say that this is still in the top five but a number four. Anyway I don't have anything else to add so until next time this is Diamondholder signing off.
