Sooo…I'm pretty sure everybody will be upset I haven't updated this story in a very long time, but I was writing other stuff! Plus, I kinda wrote myself into a corner in terms of 137-C. Can't be traveling the Multiverse when your homeworld is sealed off haha.
Plus, I really didn't have the motivation for this side story for a long time either. But now…NOW I HAVE AN IDEA! MWUAHAHAHAAHA!
But in all seriousness, this is just some random storyline. Maybe some of the character versions will be seen again, maybe not. Just don't take it too seriously since Rick and Morty inspired some of this.
Chapter 36: The Council of Levy's
Universe 8201-A. Magnolia. Year 786, June 3rd. Fairy Tail guild hall.
The sun burned bright, casting warmth of early summer on the famous guild hall that surprisingly sat silent among the northern portions of Magnolia. Instead of the normal rambunctiousness caused by its insane mages, the guild members were gathered around Team Shadow Gear's table.
More specifically, Levy and the strange, new invention's she had built.
Evergreen leaned forward, brows scrunching behind her glasses as she studied the strange, metallic box and gun like apparatus near the short, blue haired script mage. "Levy? How did you even come up with this?"
Levy smiled back, a warm grin as many of her other friends leaned closer to hear the explanation. "Honestly, I started having these weird dreams about two months ago. Almost like they were instructions to build this device. Once I started, the dreams became clearer, eventually revealing strange co-ordinates last night"
Erza stroked her chin, crimson hair spilling past her shoulder armor and chest plate as the woman continued to study these strange devices. "And your sure they're safe? Actually, what does this invention do?"
Levy sprung up, hitting a switch near the main key pad, which caused a rapid buildup of a low humming sound. "This invention will let us see other universes! Just think about how amazing that is! We could all meet different versions of ourselves! Maybe even make friends or see new forms of magic and technology!"
Natsu glared at the box, crossing his arms than glared at the nearby Gray. "Why? We already have too many stupid ice mages. We don't need any more"
"What was that, flame brain!?" Fullbuster yelled, giving a challenging stare at Natsu who grinned back. "You heard me ice pop! You suck!"
"ENOUGH! If you fight you could ruin Levy's hard work!" Erza scolded with a womanly glare of withering that shut the two males up, their bodies shivering under the knight's harsh demeanor.
A busty, blonde woman with a lighting bolt across her left cheek stroked her soft chin, contemplating the possibilities as she leaned over the table, showing generous amounts of cleavage. "Hmmm…it would be kinda interesting to meet a lightning mage as attractive as me from another universe"
"Now you're getting the idea, Laxi!" Levy fist-pumped the air, her joy growing infectious as she grinned happily at the other woman. "Now, time to try out those co-ordinates I dreamed about" The script mage told the gathered mages. Typing in the string of numbers, she hit one more button, creating a holo-projection against the nearby wall.
The image quickly stabilized with a flicker of light, then showed the first images from another world to many gasping mages and wonderment. It was a massive hall of white marble, the material a shimmering white as several waterfalls of crystal clear water flowed from multiple points. Gathering at a central fountain among several groupings of plants and trees, were people talking and laughing, their happiness and joy apparent.
"THAT'S A LOT OF LEVY'S!" Happy shouted out in surprise, watching as four of them talked in this different universe, one which laughed at a quip. Most of the doubles looked similar, but there were a few differences such as a blonde Levy walking alone, or one that was dressed in strange, cowgirl attire while talking with a green skinned version of the script mage.
"Whoa! Why do you think so many are gathered in that place?" Cana asked with a stupor and swig of beer.
Makarov stroked his bushy mustache, trying to think of an answer. "They could be pooling resources or ideas? And if they somehow gave our own Levy the idea, they could want to meet us? Or at least her to join in their group?"
The inventor's eyes almost sparkled, then she quickly shut off the image and scooped up her newly built portal gun. "I'm going! I bet they could teach me so much!" Starting to input the commands for her piece of technology, Levy felt a strong grip enclose around her left shoulder. Turning, she saw Erza giving a small look of concern.
"I understand you must be excited. But caution is in order. As an S-class mage and your friend, I should accompany you on this journey" Erza reasoned before she glanced at the empty space where the rest of Shadow Gear should have been. "Especially since Gajeel took Jet and Droy on a training trip. They won't return for another two weeks"
Levy nodded, her spirit lightly dampened. "Your right Erza. It doesn't hurt to be a little careful. But, if they're like me, I'm sure they'll be friendly and welcoming. Now! Let's go!" activating the trigger, Levy pointed at a space near the bar and the Strauss siblings.
A stream of blue's and greens shot out, then coalesced into a spinning vortex that crackled with bolts of electricity.
"YES! It worked on the first try too! Come on, Erza!" Grabbing the crimson haired female's hand, Levy sprinted toward the spatial tear.
"I'm not Lucy! Don't pull me so casu—" The two disappeared in a flash of light, the portal disappearing in moments, leaving the guild in silence.
"Man! I wanted to go! It would've been a great topic for a future book!" Lucy pouted, her arms crossed beneath her bosom as she huffed.
"Don't worry Luce! I'm sure Levy will be back soon and you can go on some book fighting adventure!" Natsu proclaimed with a grin and thumbs up.
"I want to write a novel, Natsu. Not fight books"
"What's the difference?"
Universe 76668-CCL
The group of Levy's standing near the fountain turned, surprised by the sudden emergence of a crackling, blue portal. Which was quickly followed by a version of themselves accompanied by an Erza Scarlet emerging in a flash.
"I'll handle this" One of the Levy's said with a smirk. Moving quickly to the new arrivals that were simply gaping in awe at the hall and its beauty, she spread her arms. "Welcome to the Council of Levy's! It appears you received our subliminal message through the veil! I hope you will join us!"
"Did you say 'Council of Levy's?" Erza inquired with a cocked brow, her voice tinged with disbelief as she looked around the massive hall.
"I did. We've come together to share knowledge, ideas, and respect. Of course, we built this space station to be a warm, welcoming place to welcome versions of ourselves and our friends from dozens of different Earthland's" The introducer smiled before gently grasping Levy's hand. "Would you like to meet the council?"
"Is that allowed? I mean, we just got here and I—"
"Of course it's allowed! In fact, they'll want to meet you both!" Pulling Levy along with Erza in tow, the trio walked along the milky white floors of polished metals as dozens of different versions of Levy pointed and whispered. Passing several hallways and closed doors to several assumed laboratories or research centers, the three soon stood before large entranceway painted an azure blue.
Pressing a button to the right of the entrance, the greeting Levy smiled at her charges as the large doors swung open with barely a sound.
"Welcome to the council chamber"
"Wow!" Levy exclaimed as she stepped in, her eyes aglow with wonderment and awe.
"Very impressive" Erza input with a nod, her eyes studying the elegant fixtures and decorations of the half circular room. Panning her vision to the large window at the far end of the curved room, Scarlet could see the hanging orbs of three ice frozen moons over a planet roiling with strange gases and elements. "We really are on a space station!"
"Hello young Levy. Welcome to our embodiment of science and understanding"
Levy and Erza looked below the curved window, finally spotting five versions of Levy sitting on elevated chairs. One had crimson red hair tied up in some strange, cone-like hairstyle as her clothing shimmered with the colors of jade and hazel. The next Levy was blonde, sporting a side ponytail and a matching robe. The third and fourth Levy's both had white hair, flowing freely to their shoulders as they sat calmly and serenely.
The last Levy was taller, her prominent Double-D bust straining the fabric of her jade colored robe as blue hair flowed past her shoulders to her waist. Smiling warmly, the busty woman slowly clasped her hands. "Are you impressed with what you have seen so far, young Levy?"
"Very! This—" She swung an encompassing arm, her palm outstretched. "This is amazing! I can't wait to see what I can learn here!"
"Indeed" Busty Levy paused, steepling her fingers as she studied Levy and Erza from her superior height. "The Council of Levy's would like to offer you membership. But your world will have to pass inspection and initiation. Are you willing to subject your Earthland and friends to our criticism and tests?"
"If it means bringing such wonderous technology back home, then yes!" Levy said loudly, her excitement plateauing.
"Very well" The council leader turned to the escorting Levy. "Please, begin the initiation in the main hall"
"At once" Levy bowed, showing her respect for the founder. Heading toward the open doorway, she waved her double and Erza to follow.
"Erza! This…this is amazing. Just imagine all the problems we could solve? War and hunger, disease and illness. Technological advancement!" Levy went on, her excitement bubbling as the duo kept a close pace to their escort.
"They do seem to have achieved many, wondrous things" Erza conceded as they quickly found themselves at the main fountain of the hall, its crystal clear water bubbling and flowing like a life bearing stream.
It was hard to believe they were actually in outer space on an advanced space station. It felt like a royal palace or some sort of government structure.
Escorting Levy turned, clasping her hands as she lightly jumped in anticipation. "First things first. We'll need the co-ordinates for your home reality. We can't start the assessment process until you give us that information. After all, we have so much to offer your world to make it peaceful" She lowered her arms, still smiling.
Levy nodded, seeing the logic. "They're obviously advanced if they managed to establish a space station! If this place is even half as impressive as it looks, I might never want to leave! Just imagining the engineering required to build and run this place is mind boggling!" Glancing past the churning fountain, she could see dozens of other Levy's waving and laughing at her and Erza, warmth and kindness in their eyes.
Feeling a bump against her shoulder from Erza, Levy was snapped back. "Oh right! My universe is Ei—"
A dancing of yellow particles dusted the air nearby, glowing brighter and brighter as Levy and Erza stepped back in worry along with the greeting group. "What's going on?" Scarlet asked, her voice overcome with a tinge of fear and suspicion.
"I don't know! This has never hap—" The nearest Levy tried to finish before a flash of yellow burst among the particles, the light reflecting off the shimmering marble walls.
Erza lowered her gauntleted fist blocking her eyes, which took on a look of surprise at the emergence of five newcomers. The first thing she noticed was the heavy armor decorated with a Gear symbol in the center of the chest plates for each female. The armor had blueish, vertical running lights along with multiple gouges and abrasions, meaning that it had been used in combat. All four women had strange pieces of technology attached to their left forearms, the displays an assortment of glowing colors. Two of them had large rifles with chainsaws on them, the weapons pointed in opposing directions. The other two shorter women had longer rifles, both with wicked looking bayonets as a reddish…watermelon stood in the center of this new group.
Of course, each woman was covered in spatters of gore, which added to Erza's own worry as she pulled her sword to protect herself and her shorter friend. A version of Levy with a long scar along her left cheek and ample busom stared at the red-head, her weapon gripped tight and slick with blood. Next to her was Evergreen, a pair of violet goggles raised above her forehead and pushing her brunette locks back. Then there was Lisanna, her glare of hatred aimed at any Levy that was too close.
Erza didn't recognize the last woman, another attractive brunette with a small bandage along her right cheek and a hair style of a simple, bob cut.
"What the hell is this place?" Lisanna groused, the vertical scar above her right eye pulling as her gaze narrowed at the multiple Levy's around them. Aiming her Markza at a group of Levy's, the woman held her breath as her aim remained steady.
Evergreen wiped the excess gore from her cheek, hating the vile concoction that had splattered there. Re-pressing her Lancer against her shoulder, the earth mage breathed deeply as the stink of copper filled her nose from more of the splatter against her chest piece. "Clone factory? But if that's the case, why is there an Erza here?"
"Who gives a fuck? As long as they don't try to eat us like those assholes of Cannibalon from the last universe" Samantha Bryne sneered, keeping her aim on a grouping of four Levy's nearby.
"I turned the tables on three of them, eating them instead" Rum-legs grinned, his red hide dripping with viscous gore.
"You bitches need to relax! We're among Levy's so it should be all good!" McGarden grinned as she pulled a flask and took a deep drink of alcohol.
"You only say that because it gives you an excuse to drink" Evergreen pointed out, her arms slowly lowering the military rifle to point toward the floor. Casting wary glances around, she made sure the others were in close support.
"Um? Excuse me, but drinking isn't allowed at the Council of Levy's" the greeter stated, her glare emphasizing a mixture of worry and anger. "Or weapons" she added with crossed arms of defiance.
"Bah! Like I give a fuck about that!" Taking another swig, McGarden narrowed her eyes at the dozens of versions around the hall before snapping her fingers. "Rum-legs? Scan them. I don't feel like catching some weird, Gajeel loving disease from these other Levy's"
"Of course, Mistress!" The watermelon cried out as his eyes glowed, then started to pass over the assembled variations of Levy's in a tight beam of red.
"Uhhh…WHAT IS GOING ON!?" Levy screamed as she kept near Erza, who had taken a protective step forward.
McGarden snickered, then approached with her own Markza pointed toward the floor. "I'm you from the multiverse! I have wonderful C-cup sized breasts, super intellect and a very normal drinking problem!" She grinned. "I am the Levy-est Levy! Unlike that psychopath from one thirty seven-C!"
"Pretty sure that other Levy would disagree with you since we're from one thirty-seven H" Lisanna stated with a scowl.
Levy could see the bulge of the chestal area for this McGarden, and instantly felt a tinge of jealousy. Why couldn't she have a larger rack?
"Gah!" Levy burst out as the busty double drew close, staring at her intently with scrutiny.
Pulling out a red marker, McGarden shook her head. "First time seeing something multivers-ey? yeah, but I really need to tell you apart from these government Levy's" Raising the marker, she drew an X on Levy's forehead, then her own. "There! Now we can tell each other apart! No need to mark Erza or my friends though" Mcgarden leaned forward, whispering in a conspirator tone. "Especially Evergreen since she's full of lust for Natsu"
"What? What are you talking about!?" as Levy tried to wipe the X away, but found it permanent for the time being.
"I heard that, McGarden! I have you know that before this shitshow started, I dated Natsu like a proper lady unlike you!"
"Evergreen dates Natsu with this McGarden? What an odd combination" Erza thought as she lowered her sword, seeing as the situation was slowly easing its tenseness.
"Creator! I have finished the scan of this space station and the Levy's within!" Rum-legs stated with his normal, deadpanned tone.
"Sweet! I just hope I don't get space-Aids or something…" the heavily armed woman said with a chuckle. Walking back to the talking melon creature, she tapped his head to bring a small, holo-graphic screen into existence.
"Huh…well, that makes sense I guess?" she pondered with a stroke of her chin, then glanced at the Levy who had condemned her drinking earlier. Now standing between Erza and the novice inventor, this third Levy gave a simple wave of friendliness.
Snapping up her Markza rifle, McGarden fired without hesitation, blowing the closest's Levy's head apart in a spray of brainish gore and blue hair. It splashed across Erza and Levy, coating both of their features in dripping red and chunks of viscera as McGarden shouted with a frantic tone. "They're not human! All these Levy's are parasitic life harvesters!" Firing off the rest of her eight round clip, the busty traveler slaughtered the group of four near the fountain with horrific ease as splattering gore and blood cascaded across the floor. "Kill them all! Except for myself and the other red X Levy!" Rushing to her twin's side, McGarden pulled her locust chopper from the magnetic armor plate on her back. Pushing it into her obviously stunned double's hands, she grinned. "Here! You need to help me kill all these other Levy's!"
"You're insane!" Levy screamed in horror, her stunned eyes not able to look away at the fresh corpses. Feeling unwashed blood drip down her chin, Levy started to feel panicked breathing set in. A jabbed finger poked between her small breasts, the fabric of her blue dress rustling as Evergreen, Lisanna and Sam started to lay down a withering fire at the closest Levy's.
"HEY! If these bitches got to your world, they would've harvested the life forces of every human on the planet! ALL YOUR FRIENDS WILL DIE! NOW YOU AND ERZA NEED TO START KILLING ALL THESE PEOPLE THAT LOOK EXACTLY LIKE YOU!" McGarden screamed out as she reloaded, then promptly pushed Levy toward a rushing duo of screaming doubles that shrieked like banshees.
"I guess the trap has failed! But that doesn't mean we can't harvest you all!" a rushing Levy yelled with fury, her hands slowly extending into claws, ending in razor tips. Swiping at Levy, the short inventor barely avoided the deadly swing of death. They shrieked across the flat side of the machete, sparking as the monstrous Levy laughed.
"C,mon! Kill her!" McGarden shouted as she plugged the other rushing Levy with three bullets, ending the impostor's life.
"Can't we talk about this! I thought we were going to be friends!" Levy asked in a loud panic as her double swiped again, claws hissing through the air that narrowly missed her throat.
"Like we would be friends with food! Now stay still and let me steal your life force!" Cackling madly, the monstrous Levy swung at the inventor with murderous intent.
Levy stumbled back, her eyes brimming with unabashed horror and fear as the fresh gore splatter dripped past the large, red X on her forehead. Gunfire, screams and mad laughter roiled around her, adding to the madness. The harvester snarled, jumping forward with arms extended.
Levy swung the machete, her eyes closed in dread as the blade connected with a nightmarish squelch of flesh. Feeling a warm spray cascade against her neck, Levy opened her eyes to see her double gurgling in death. The machete was embedded in the meat of the neck, pumping a flood of red.
"Oh god. Oh godohgodohgod!" Levy started to repeat in a rapidly building panic.
"Pull it free and keep killing them all!" Evergreen snarled out, leveling her lancer at a group of three rushing toward the actual humans. Firing as two of them jumped twenty feet in the air, only one died as bullets ripped the blunette apart. Landing in a crouch, both short females hissed as their teeth grew into fangs. Rushing at Evergreen, the earth mage managed to shoot one in the face, creating a red mist of gore as the other raked claws across her armored torso.
"You little bitch!" Revving up her chainsaw, Evergreen plunged the spinning teeth into Levy, causing a nightmarish scream of agony as flesh ripped and sundered, splattering chunks of viscera.
Erza stepped back, her sword gripped tight as madness reigned around her. Her body shook, her mind struggling with the nightmare spreading around her.
"Don't just stand there, Scarlet! Fucking kill em all!" Samantha Bryne screamed out over a long burst of gunfire, blowing two more Levy's over as they writhed and screamed. Stepping back to drop a mag and reload, another monstrous McGarden ran in a crouch toward Erza with fangs bared.
"This is madness!" Scarlet bellowed in disbelief as she took another step back, a tremble of withering fear cracking her voice.
"I'm going to suck your life out!" The charging Levy screamed, who then leapt and tackled Erza to the ground with a clatter of armor and bodies. Straddling the knight, Levy opened her fanged mouth wider than humanly possible, leaving a coiling tongue with teeth to dance and jig towards Erza's exposed neck.
"NO!" Erza bellowed. Using her legs and twisting her hip, Scarlet managed to toss the monster off…them proceeded to stab it in the chest with her sword. Gore splashed her greaves and boots, a stink of copper that made her want to vomit.
"Don't you dare, vomit Scarlet!" Sam stated with a grim snarl as she aimed upward, firing a long arc of bullets at several Levy's crawling along the wall and ceiling one hundred feet above. One fell partially wounded, landing on all four limbs as it hissed and jinked toward the knight.
"Stay away from me!" cried Erza as she swung her blood slicked blade at the ground crawler's head. The steel sliced through muscle and bone, something the mage felt as part of the cranium came free, spilling pinkish matter at Scarlets boots.
Which actually prompted her to vomit at that point.
"They're above us!" Lisanna cried out, her rifle slamming into her shoulder as she picked another monster off, dropping the fiend who let out a banshee wail of a falling death. The body burst upon impact, like rotten fruit. But more came on, their blue hair and features becoming more twisted by the moment.
"Let them surround us! Then my normal double can go all machete crazy with slaughter! HAHAHAHA!" McGarden suggested with unhinged laughter. She jumped toward a double, stabbing it in the throat with her bayonet, splashing more blood upon herself as the monster screamed. "I am the Levyest!"
"I don't want to do—" Levy cried as she tried to avoid another swipe of horrid claws, the tips tearing the skin of her left shoulder with ease as pain like fire shot down her arm. The monster before her grinned, licking a snake-like tongue across her disgusting finger tips, tasting the fresh blood before rushing forward. Red X Levy swung with a tremble of disgust and hell behind her eyes, embedding the machete into the center skull of her twisted double.
The crunch of bone and flesh was horrible, mixing in with the stench of loosened bowels, copper and death as she yanked the blade free. Add in the fact that Rum-legs had just ripped off the head off another monster and Levy almost vomited as her breathing became a hitch of panic.
An alarm blared, a shrieking wail from all around the massive hall that echoed and bounced. The harvesting life stealers paused, then began to retreat, leaving dozens of their sisters in their wake among brass, blood, and gore.
"My fellow Levy's! The food thinks they can survive! Arm yourselves and bring me the scarred one for harvesting!"
"Oh. It looks like they plan on shooting us. Or stabbing us?" McGarden pondered lightly, her hands automatically reloading with practiced ease.
A crack of a bullet made Erza jump, bringing her gaze to Lisanna on one knee, firing into the backs of the monsters.
"Levy. Get us the hell out of here!" Erza cried out as she stepped back, almost slipping on some entrails. Joining her friend who frantically nodded, Red X Levy unholstered her un-named multiversal gun, frantically typing in the home co-ordinates.
"No! Don't!" Evergreen cried out, reaching to stop the duo.
"Shut up! This is-This is all insane!" Levy screamed out, her mental state almost cracking. Aiming at an open space, she pulled the trigger, causing a bluish, green stream of particles to fly out.
And immediately split into five waves of energy that slammed into Lisanna, Evergreen, Rum-legs, McGarden, and Sam. Cascading down their bodies, the exotic particles were quickly absorbed by the females.
"What happened, Levy!?" Erza cried out, blood dripping from her bangs while her friend rapidly tried to input fresh commands.
"I don't know! Let me try again!"
She didn't get a chance. A fist connected with her cheek, bowling Levy over into a puddle of gore as she cried out. Looking up like a lost lamb, her hand shook as McGarden scowled above her.
"Thanks a lot, moron. You just extended our stay on this crap council station by—" the woman looked at her left wrist, the frown deepening. "Another hour and three minutes" Crouching down on her haunches, the scarred blunette locked eyes with her twin as her heavily armed friends kept a vigil for a counter-attack.
"Why? How? Why are you so calm!?"
"I'm going to give you the short fucking version because honestly, I'm sick of explaining to every damn novice of myself I come across" Jabbing a finger into Levy's chest, the busty double spoke clearly. "Shit went down during the Locust war on my own Earthland. The five of us never made it to Sera with Natsu, Mira, Cana, Gajeel or the exceeds. We've been stranded in the multiverse, hopping from reality to reality and random worlds, some of which are extremely fucked up. The added fucking bonus is that any dimensional portal that tries to form within a hundred miles gets absorbed by us, increasing our time in that current universe, which you just increased"
Leaning close, her voice was hard with force. "If you and Erza think this is bad, you haven't even begun to see the shit that is possible out there" Standing up rapidly, Sam pressed a pistol with gold markings into her hand as the two mages watched in a trembling silence.
"By the way, this is going to fucking hurt" Snapping the gun up, McGarden fired at Erza's head first, a beam of goldish red boring into her forehead.
"AAAAUUUGHHHH!" Scarlet screamed in unwavering agony as black lines spread across her face and exposed skin in moments. Falling to the ground in a thrash, the knight kicked like a seizure patient.
"Erza!" Levy screamed out, then found herself howling as a second beam entered her turned temple. The howls of burning agony flowing through her body felt like magma…and eternity. Collapsing in a writhing, shuddering pile, Levy howled like a burn victim near her friend.
McGarden looked down at the space pistol, an inquisitive look creasing her brow. "Sam? You gave me the translation gun, I need the space gun"
"AUUUUGHHH! It burns so much!" Erza wailed as she continued to thrash, the mixture of screams almost drowned out by her short friend.
"My bad" Sam shrugged nonchalantly. Accessing the digi-struct weapon storage on her left arm, Samantha Bryne brought out the proper weapon, fixing her light mistake.
"GraauuughhhhhH!" Levy howled, the black lines along her skin pulsing as they reached her brain.
"Lisanna. I really hope the next world is some paradise beach planet. With free long islands and mojitos" Evergreen stated hopefully from near the fountain, making the white haired woman chuckle.
"Served in those coconut cups. With Natsu as my fanning servant" she finished wistfully.
"God! The pain! AAAuuughhh!" Levy barely managed to scream as she tried to manage the magma like agony, to no avail, her fingers clawing at random points above her.
"Oh stop being such babies about it! All I did was shoot you with translation nano's" McGarden stated with a roll of her eyes. Aiming the proper weapon that was decorated with sticky stars and painted pink, she fired an obsidian beam at both women.
The energy entered the writhing bodies, overwhelming the black lines with white and yellow as the screaming stopped.
Erza tried to crawl, breathing heavily and shakily, the embers of agony still fresh in her mind. After a few minutes of trying to calm her flayed nerves, Erza picked herself up as she glared at McGarden with unfiltered fury. "Why? Why did you subject us to such mind numbing agony!?"
The scarred scientist gave a non-caring wave of her hand. "First of all, you should be thanking me for that minor mistake since both of you can understand all spoken languages now" She then shrugged with barely a care. "Plus, you two will probably need the ability to survive in vacuum before this crap ends"
"Creator! I am detecting an attack force coming from our north!" Rum-legs warned, his eyes glowing a soft blue. "I believe they have armed themselves" Turning toward the south, his eyes narrowed as a smaller group of monsters emerged from several different entranceways.
"No shit, melon" Evergreen groused as she crouched down against the fountain wall, lightly pushing a Levy corpse into the water that soon turned a horrid pinkish red. Looking past the bubbling liquid, Evergreen could see the monstrous Levy's rushing forth, many with sleek looking rifles out of science fiction.
"Better start picking some off" Lisanna said with a weary fatigue. Lining up a target, she pulled the trigger, bowling over a distant doppleganger that howled.
"Well! Looks like machete time is over!" McGarden said with an obvious grin. Typing commands into her own digi-struct system, three new weapons and accompanying ammunition appeared at her feet with a flash of light.
Staying low against the metallic wall that housed a tree garden plot near the fountain, McGarden waved the two newcomers over as sizzling blue laser blasts and gun fire started to fill the air. One of the beams sliced through a tree like butter, the stench of burning wood reaching Levy and Erza's senses as they practically crawled.
Gutteral screams echoed along the battle filled space station, howls of agony rising as snapping lead tore through bodies. A cacophony that was a nightmare to listen to.
Erza felt one of the weapons pressed into her hands, a short, squat weapon made of stamped metals as more laser blasts fizzled above her head.
McGarden gave a simple run-down of reloading and switching out magazines, her words clear. "Cover your friend since she's working the M-79, and make sure you don't' shoot that big, red X!" the woman finished with a thumbs up before dashing away with the largest weapon, heading toward another low wall that faced south.
"Time for all you Levy's to die! Muhahaha!" The scarred blunette screamed out as she hoisted the .50 caliber machine gun over the lip of cover. Pulling the trigger, a ripping sound of lead screamed outward in a stream of tracers and death, hacking through limbs and bodies. Torso's were flayed open, blood and organs ruined by the passage of destruction. A random Levy's head burst, the former face a grotesque twist of ruined flesh and burns before hand.
Laser blasts started to come her way as the southern forces took cover, burning with insidiousness.
Erza glanced over at her friend, then these insane females that had no issues causing massive casualties. All three were ducked down, taking cover as Evergreen blindfired her lancer into the coming hordes. The stink of cordite and tinkling of falling brass…the screams of dying and guttural taunts mixed with deadly laser fire made her want to piss herself.
"Erza! They're getting closer!" Levy wailed as she clacked a new explosive shell into her weapon. Staying low as the untethered horror clawed at her mind, Levy fired at a group of herself trying to flank along the wall. The grenade launcher slammed against her slim shoulder, a blow that ejected the munition in a flash of noise.
It burst at the attacking monster's feet, flinging shrapnel and fire that quite literally, caused one of the impostors to explode into a red paste of strewn organs and flesh.
Erza snapped out of her trance, firing over the garden walls lip to kill the other three with semi-automatic hammerburst fire. "They're not Levy. They're not Levy. They're not Levy" The knight repeated in her mind as she fired at random targets.
Levy reached into the nearby satchel, pulling out another grenade shell to reload. Her fingers trembled, the fear of life and death combat a true terror. Barely managing to slide in the fresh munition, she clacked the grenade launcher shut.
"Incoming frag!" Sam shouted over the din, her form automatically ducking on instinct as a bomb burst inside the fountain moments later, splashing reddish water everywhere. Popping up with Evergreen and Lisanna, the trio of Gears unleashed a fusillade of bullets into the horde as brass fell in an avalanche of use.
"Advance! We must eat this food and regain our youth!" A random Levy pointed, her skin a burning orange and face streaked with muscle lines. Pressing the futuristic rifle to her shoulder, she fired at the humans, keeping them down as ten others moved forward in a rush.
Bullets cracked from the defensive position, bowling over half in a party of death as blood sprayed among broken bodies. Snarling, Levy felt her sharpened fangs practically begging to tear these women apart.
An explosion wracked the hall to her right, horrendous screams coming from her sisters as another grenade burst and caused untold mayhem. Ducking behind a low wall of benches, the monster popped up to fire at Lisanna, unleashing five sizzling laser blasts that stank like ozone. Six more Levy's joined her, creating a wall of fire as they started to take potshots at the embattled humans.
"We're losing too many of our kind! At thi—" A bullet tore through the vampire-like Levy's throat, splashing an arc of warm blood across the orange hued Levy.
"That is enough!"
The voice boomed across the hall, filled with wisdom and respect from above. The attacking Life harvesters looked up, the battle momentarily paused as joy spread across their twisted faces. There flew the founder of the council, her long, blue hair hanging past her double d bust. Wings sprouted from her back, beating to keep her afloat as she glared down at the humans. Lines of red traced down her face and exposed arms, leading to the terrible claws that had formed among her fingertips. Next to this flying creature were the other members of the council, each with different monstrous aesthetics from chalky skin to burning, crimson eyes.
"Oh…shit" Sam barely managed to say before the council leader blinked out of existence. Then was hefting the brunette Seran off her feet by her neck in the next moment. Bryne could hear the surprised cries of Evergreen and Lisanna, Of McGarden and Erza who found themselves struggling to move and breath as the other councilors hefted them off the floor.
"Erza!" Levy cried out as the blonde, Levy councilor sneered with Erza struggling to break the hold. Batting away the attempt to raise her hammerburst, the blonde gave one blood chilling glare to Levy with the visible X on her forehead. "I am going to enjoy making you watch your friends die. And once they are dead, we will make you reveal your homeworld to us for harvesting"
Levy was frozen, unable to do anything as her evil double opened her mouth wider, a coiling tongue unfurling toward Erza. Slick with saliva and drool, Scarlet tried to breath, to break away in some desperate attempt.
Sam wheezed, coughing as the large breasted leader opened her own mouth to feed. "I…ack…I have a…question"
The councilor paused, then recoiled her tongue as the others waited in anticipation to feed, then begin the conquest of a new world.
"Make it fast. I'm practically salivating at the prospect of consuming your life force" the twisted female hissed, her sharpened fangs dripping with saliva.
Sam struggled to keep a grip on her lancer in her right hand, then slowly raised her left toward the nearest wall as her breathing labored from the clawed vice around her throat. "Can…can your kind…breath in space?"
"What? Of course not" the female hissed out.
"Good" Sam grinned wolfishly, then poured all her magical power into her palm in a flash of energy. A red beam erupted, crackling with strands of purple electricity as it bore through the air, then tore through the nearest wall and laboratory to pierce the stations hull, leaving a hole nearly twenty feet wide.
Sucking air rushed out into hard vacuum, taking nearly a dozen Levy's in a moment as their screams were rapidly cut off. Warning alarms blared, a crescendo of noise and destruction as more of the monsters were sucked out into space.
"NO! What have you do-!" A .357 round tore through her skull in a spray of brain matter and cordite, Sam able to reach her boltok and bring it up in time. Falling with a tumble to the gore strewn floor, the brunette hit a blue button built into her left arm greave. "We're hitting hard vac! Helmet up!" the woman warned with a loud shout. Her armor shifted to seal itself, a helmet falling into place just as she was lifted up and sucked into the void of darkness with the screaming and terrified Levy that had initially visited this station.
"Hahaha! Great job Sam!" McGarden cheered as her captor dropped her like a pile of rags. Hitting her own button to bring about her hard-vac armors, the clear visor snapped into place as Rum-Legs jumped on her back. Tumbling through the air, she collided with the blonde Levy still holding Erza, destroying the footing as all four were sucked into the velvet black.
Evergreen and Lisanna weren't far behind, the councilors trying to stay alive as the two mages were sucked out into the night with more and more spinning and tumbling bodies.
Erza spun out of control, her body spinning randomly as she clutched the hammerburst to her blood splattered armor. The gore was freezing, crystalizing as her vision watched the station disgorge the harvesters like a pustule.
Something hit her hard, eliciting a cry of dread.
Clutching the object, it was the frozen form of a Levy, the eyes blank and unseeing. Erza some how breathed, the sheer terror of her situation making her want to piss herself.
"Levy! Where are you!?" the red head shouted, but the sound carried poorly, barely a whisper as she continued to tumble among space.
A frantic wave. A miniscule shout came from a cluster of corpses.
"Erza!" Levy screamed, the knowledge if she hadn't gotten shot earlier by that large breasted twin, she would be a frozen body, forgotten above an unknown world. She pushed off the pile, water-ice and gore frozen against her skin.
The extended hands toward each other, desperate to touch. They managed to clasp wrists, pulling each other close.
"Where are the others?" Erza asked, both still tumbling toward the planet as the two looked around. Bodies were everywhere, spread out across miles and miles of space as the forces of jettison and explosive decompression pushed them further away.
Levy didn't see them, nor did she have time to look. Or the means to do anything about it. All she wanted was to go home. Pulling her portal gun from her hip holster, Levy realized she still had a grip on the grenade launcher, clutched in her right hand.
A hand caked with frozen blood.
She input the co-ordinates, silently thanking McGarden for saving her.
But never wanting to meet her again.
The portal managed to form, answering the fact that Lisanna, Evergreen and the others were easily a hundred miles away by now, and possibly dead. They floated toward the breech, and flashed out of existence, leaving the hell behind.
Universe 8201-A. Fairy Tail
The guild was talking animatedly, trying to guess when Erza and Levy would return from their adventure. But based on what they saw, it was assumed several hours would pass before they returned to tell them of the wonderful time they had at that grouping of Levy's.
Mira walked by, taking separate meals to Natsu, Lucy, and Gray with a charismatic smile as other members kept up a light hum of conversation.
"Thanks Mira! It looks great!" Natsu exclaimed before digging in, his lack of manners making Lucy scowl.
"Use a fork! Or at least chew properly!" the celestial mage scolded, earning a blank look from her friend.
"Your just jealous I can eat all of this meat without getting fat"
"I am not fat!" Lucy roared before slamming a fist into the top of the slayers head, earning a chuckle from Mira.
"Why…?" Natsu whispered, his head throbbing from the furious, female blow.
Mira thought about scolding Natsu. Or terrifying him for talking about a woman's weight like that, but the errant crackling of static destroyed that notion. Turning toward the center of the guild, most of the members smiled as the swirling blues of the portal formed, then flashed bright.
Erza and Levy appeared, both clutching unknown weapons to their chests. Dried gore and scratches decorated them both, splatters of viscera still present as their eyes brimmed with terror and nightmare.
"Erza? Levy? What happened!?" Makarov asked with a worried shout, his concern for his children rising.
Erza shook, her hands trembling as her faced contorted into a pained, terrified look. Dropping the weapon, she sank to floor, multiple furrows across her breastplate as she breathed in a panic.
"Levy? Are you alright?" Lucy asked her friend, standing up and slowly approaching.
Levy dropped her grenade launcher, sinking to her own knees as she clutched her head with bloody hands, the sheer terror behind her eyes growing deeper and deeper.
"I…I…" Levy trembled, her whole body shaking at how close she had come to destroying her own world. "AAAUUUUGHHHH!"
Then she screamed, venting the horror of what she had seen which quickly turned into wracking sobs, sobs that were joined by Erza as they tried to make sense of the blood-curling carnage among their stunned friends…
There we go! Some random, bloody adventure! I hope you all enjoy after a year in the dark. Also, if you have some other, random ideas, let me know!
Side note, I'm about halfway down with my Shifting chapter, but kinda stuck. Plus, my hours have been all over the place so it kinda killed my motivation for a few weeks. Anyway, reviews are welcome. Pieces of hateful shit will be blocked and deleted.
This is thehappy signing off!
