Back at the Fairy Tail guild, the whirlwind had long vanished. The entire guild was a mess with chairs, tables and glass all over the floor. Various members were in bandages and burying the hole that was dug up by Virgo, Lucy's spirit to get out of the guild from the whirlwind. Several guild members sat, feeling ashamed about what just happened. Others were noticeably upset, the most obvious being Carla and Chelia who sat at the bar looking down.
"C'mon! Let me go! I need to kick that guy's ass!" Natsu yelled out, tied to one of the poles in the building, thrashing about.
"Idiot, how are you going to find him?" Gray snapped before looking at Erza "He flew into the sky right?"
Erza nodded "I only caught a glimpse since he was so fast, but it seemed like he flew up above the clouds."
"Then we can have Happy take me up there!" Natsu protested.
Erza glared at Natsu, having him shrink in fear. "Think about it, he appeared to be an angel, his location could very well be far above the clouds. Even higher then when you and Wendy flew up towards the Anima into Edolas."
"I'm sorry...I-I couldn't do anything…" Chelia cried softly. Lucy went and sat next to her, putting a hand on Chelia's shoulder.
"It's okay, none of us could. No need to blame yourself." Lucy softly said.
"Tch, what was with that guy anyways?" Gajeel asked "It seemed like he could've predicted our every move."
"Vision magic, the ability to briefly see the future of a person." Everyone had their eyes towards the entrance, where Makarov, in a wheelchair, was.
"Master! Welcome back!" Mirajane beamed. Makarov recently returned from a guild master meeting, Laxus was behind him pushing the wheelchair.
"Master, you know about that?" Erza walked up towards Makarov. He nodded his head.
"It's a type of Lost Magic, it allows the user to see a few seconds into the future of a select individual."
Makarov and Laxus look around the guild, seeing the mess and injured members.
"So, can you tell us what happened?" Makarov asked.
Wendy felt very groggy, she opened her eyes and it took a bit for her vision to not blur up due to the brightness of the room she's in. She groans, not realizing what happened.
"W-what happened?" She said quietly. Then suddenly, she remembered. She was attacked and everything went black. She quickly shot up in shock before looking around. She appeared to be in a room with white walls and floor. It looked nice but ordinary, then she looked to the left before meeting her eyes with another girl.
"Ah! You're awake!" Sync beamed. Wendy screamed from shock before scooting back on the bed and hitting her head on the end of the bed. She held her head in pain.
"You sure are clumsy!" Sync giggled.
Wendy groaned and shortly after looked at the other girl, she seemed to be the same age as her. She then noticed her wings and halo, just like from the person that attacked her.
"Wh-who are you? What is this place?" She asked nervously.
"You're in God's castle! And my name is Sync, nice to meet you!" Sync smiled before reaching her hand out for a handshake.
Wendy reluctantly shook her hand but couldn't help but be thrown off at her response, God's castle?
"I'm uh, Wendy Marvell. Nice to meet you too."
Wendy got out of bed, checking her surroundings and it only seemed like it was just her and Sync in the room. She wanted to ask her where the exit was but she didn't know if she was trustworthy or not. She walked by the window to see where she was and her eyes widened with shock as she looked out. There were several people walking around with wings and halos! The floor looked very floofy, like clouds? What was this place?
"Looks pretty doesn't it?" Sync walked up "This is Exahelm! It's a town in the sky!"
Wendy looked at Sync with utter confusion, she was in the sky?! She had several questions run through her mind but before she could ask anything she heard the door open.
"So you've awakened Sky Maiden?" Hahlos walked in, closing the door behind him. Wendy's eyes widened before she got into a battle stance.
"Hi bro! I watched her as you said!" Sync ran up and gave Hahlos a small hug by his leg. Hahlos smiled at Sync before looking at Wendy, seeing her battle stance.
"Don't bother, I can see only utter failure in your feeble attempts." Hahlos warned Wendy before sitting down on a chair.
"Even if you were able to defeat me, it's impossible for a human to escape here."
"What do you mean?" Wendy asked.
"You already saw, this is a civilization in the sky. We are above the clouds, without wings you would fall to your death." Hahlos answered.
Hahlos then leaned back on the chair.
"I apologize for the way I took you here, your friends weren't really all that inviting."
Wendy then remembered what happened at the guild when the hurricane was there.
"What did you do to my friends!" She yelled.
"Relax." Hahlos sighed "I didn't kill anyone, in fact they're all safe as far as I'm aware. But I had no choice but to bring you here by force."
Wendy wasn't entirely sure if Hahlos was speaking the truth, but she gave a sigh of relief regardless. She then looked at the two, there was no way she would be able to escape. But she wasn't in prison or tied up or anything.
"What do you guys want with me?" She asked.
Hahlos smirked, before walking up and bending down to Wendy's height. He put his hand on Wendy's shoulder and what she saw shocked her beyond belief. But what he said was even more shocking.
"Sky Maiden…" Hahlos started to have tears form from his eyes "We need you to save our kingdom."
"Mmmrf...I see…" Makarov looked down in deep thought after being told what happened.
"Do you know anything about who attacked us?" Erza asked.
"Vaguely." Makarov responded. "Years ago when Puruhito was still in charge, he told me rumors of angels living among us. However I only wrote them off as mere tales."
"Well they're definitely real, now how do we kick their ass!" Natsu asked, walking towards Makarov."
"Oy! How'd you get untied?!" Gajeel asked, noticing the rope burned into a crisp. "Oh."
Makarov sighed deeply "I'm afraid I don't know about their location, I'm sorry."
"Damn!" Natsu punches a wall near him.
"Hey! Don't cause anymore damage to the guild idiot!" Laxus yelled.
The guild members stood silently, trying to think of ways to locate their friend.
"Is this it then? We'll never see Wendy again?" Chelia muttered quietly.
Suddenly various members felt something coming and looked at the entrance. There they see 7 hooded figures walking towards the entrance.
"Greetings Fairy Tail wizards, may we lend some assistance?" The man in front greeted.
"You are…" Erza started. The figures remove their hoods revealing to be the members of Crime Sorciere, them being Jellal, Meredy, Midnight, Cobra, Hot Eye, Racer and Angel.
"It's been a while, Erza." Jellal smiled at his old friend.
"Jellal? Why are you here?"
"I heard it all, you all had some sort of clash with an angel eh?" Cobra answered.
"So, that really was an angel huh?" Gray realized. "Wait, you guys know about them?"
The members of Crime Sorciere all looked at Jellal.
"Well, yes." Jellal cleared his throat "Technically I'm not allowed to share this, since this information is top secret from the Council. However I'll make an exception."
"Wh-What?" Wendy stood there extremely confused, she didn't know how to process anything that's going on.
Hahlos clears his throat and wipes the tears out of his eyes before he stands up.
"In case you already couldn't tell. We're angels, this is our homeland." He sat back down and folded his arms.
"You see, we are currently in a dangerous predicament. As our ruler is in a state of near death."
"Yeah…" Sync added "God has been sick for a long time now."
"We don't interfere with the affairs of humans, even if they are in danger of extinction." Hahlos explained. "However our balance is in danger, and you are the only one who can save us."
Wendy was still cautious. She furrowed her eyebrows "Then why didn't you just ask. Fairy Tail is a guild where we help those who take in requests. If you need me to heal someone you didn't have to attack us."
Hahlos closed his eyes and gave out a big sigh. He then opened his eyes giving an intimidating look that shook Wendy and even Sync up "Because you have no choice in this, you're going to cooperate with us." Wendy started to sweat, was there a catch in this? She wanted to ask but Hahlos' calm but threatening aura left no room for questioning as she had trouble speaking.
"Come, follow me." Hahlos stood up and walked towards the door "they're waiting."
Wendy felt like she had no choice but to follow, she left the room and Sync quickly followed. As they followed Sync went beside Wendy and smiled at her. Wendy gave a sad smile back.
"We're here." Halos said, standing in front of a large door. "Come."
The Fairy Tail guild members were sitting and taking in the explanation Jellal gave to them.
"Tch, so this whole time there's been these angels living above us and they never bother to come down here. Give me a break" Gajeel grunted.
"As far-fetched it may sound, it's the truth. In fact you all met one right?" Jellal asked.
Erza nodded her head "He overpowered all of us, according to master he possessed Vision Magic. None of us were able to touch him."
"Vision Magic?!" Meredy sputtered.
"You know it?" Jellal looked at Meredy as everyone else turned their attention towards her.
"Mhm." Meredy answered "I remember when Hades mentioned it to me. It was Lost Magic not even he could've figured out.
"Just *who* are these angels anyways…" Erza asked in deep thought "That one angel seemed to have several different types of magic…"
"First Vision Magic, Wind Magic and even Requip Magic." Gray added "Are these guys advanced in magic?"
"Whatever the case, our enemy is a dangerous one that's for sure." Erza replied.
"Who cares?!" Natsu growled, engulfed in flames "Those bastards kidnapped Wendy! I'll destroy them all!"
"Natsu! Calm down!" Lucy said "We're all worried for her but we can't solve this by charging in!"
"Lucy's right" Erza agreed. "Besides, we need to find a way to find their location first."
"Worry not." Jellal stood up "There is a way."
Everyone immediately had their eyes on Jellal, waiting for an answer.
"Erza, was there anything you noticed when the angel disappeared?"
Erza tried to remember every detail of when Hahlos vanished, then suddenly she came to a realization.
"When he opened his wings, a large bright light engulfed him for just a moment."
"Whaaa, I didn't even notice that!" Natsu replied, shocked at her noticing such a thing.
"He didn't fly away, he was transported back. That will be our ticket in." Jellal assured.
"And with my Heavenly Body Magic, I should be able to recreate that spell."
Carla then came running over.
"Really?! Then let's get going!"
"Hold on." Jellal interrupted "I can't cast it alone. If my hypothesis is correct, we'll also need someone who can cast Holy Magic. Judging by the fact that the man is an angel, their location can very well possess holy energy."
"Holy magic?" Carla replied.
Everyone then started to think of someone who fitted that description until Natsu cackled.
"Oh come on guys, it should be obvious." He said. "We know someone, and he happens to be the master of Sabertooth!"
As the large door opened, Wendy was briefly blinded by the bright light. She then started to hear cheering from several people it seemed like. Hahlos gestured to Wendy to walk outside. Once she did she noticed she was standing on a small balcony. Below there were several other angels looking at her.
"There she is!"
"Our savior!"
"We love you!"
"She really is human!"
Wendy was overwhelmed with the amount of cheers she was getting. Hahlos then walked behind her and spread his arms out towards the crowd.
"Citizens of Exahelm! Our nightmare will end soon! As the Sky Maiden has come to save us!"
The crowd roared in applause.
