On with story
Charla slowly woke up as she sees that she was in a house
"where am i?" Charla muttered out as she sat up on the bed
"are you feeling alright?"
Charla looks to the side and sees an older Blue Exceed walking into the room with some clothes in her hands
"where am i? who are you?" Charla asked
"my name is Marl, and this is my home" the elder cat replied with a smile as she gives the clothes to Charla "here, wear this on"
After a few minutes, Charla and Marl went downstairs and went outside to see a field being worked out by two other cats
"kaaah! It's all about guts!" an older white cat shouted out as he started using a shovel on the ground
"Aye sir!" a younger blue cat who looks like Marl, exclaimed as it copied the white cat's action
"that's my husband, Lucky and the little blue of joy is our son, Happy" Marl said with a smile
"Kaaah! Guts and guts!" Lucky shouted out
"Aye aye sir!" Happy shouted out in agreement
"Lucky! Happy! It's time for Lunch!" Marl called out to the two as they stopped working on the field
"Kaaah! It's about time!" Lucky shouted out
"Aye Sir! Lunch!" Happy said in agreement
They all entered into the dining room as Marl and Happy served up some meal for everyone
"kaaah! Eat up eat up!" Lucky shouted out as he takes a bite out of a fish
"aye sir!" Happy joined in as he eats a bite out of a fish as well
"thank you…" Charla muttered out
"my husband and the kingdom didn't see eye to eye so we were chased out long ago and that's why we live here" Marl said
"Kaaah! Don't go blabbering about the past!" Lucky shouted out
"yes, yes" Marl replied with a smile to her husband
"then why did you help me?" Charla asked
"kaaah, like I care for some Fallen being chased out by the imperial guards" Lucky said with a leer
"me and my pa, hates the imperial guards," Happy said "that's why we welcome anyone who doesn't like the kingdom"
"Kaaah! You stupid son of mine! What are you blabbering about to her?!" Lucky shouted at Happy
"Aye! Sorry!" Happy cried out in fear
After eating the meal, Lucky and Happy went out to the field and started working again as they were chopping logs together
"kah!" "aye sir!" "kah!" "aye sir!" "kah!" "aye sir!"
The two shouted out as they chopped logs after logs
"so, your name is Charla, what a wonderful name" Marl said with a smile "who gave you that name?'
"a friend" Charla replied all gloomy
"why the gloomy face?" Marl asked
"it was my fault…I led my friends to a trap….it was my fault that it all happened in the first place" Charla said in sadness "you must be thinking that my actions are right, huh?"
"no, I think that doing such thing is a no no" Marl told her "may you be a human or an Exceed, it doesn't matter as a friend. even if you are different in the outside, the shape of the heart is all the same as their love for each other"
"shape of heart?" Charla said
"yes, everyone's heart is filled with love and have the same shape" Marl said
"but my heart was controlled by somebody other than me, it makes me wonder if my words are from my heart or not" Charla said
"you may seem troubled but you will soon find you heart" Marl said to her "what you need to realize now is that you must believe in the power of love"
Charla smiled a bit to Marl words "you're an odd one, Marl-san"
"am i?" Marl smiled to her as she looks to her husband and son "I used to think that we Exceeds are a supreme race like gods and angels but I soon realized that we are just who we are"
"in the past, me and my husband almost lost our son when he was still in his egg, it made me realize that I'm just a parent and it doesn't matter if your friend is a human or an exceed"
"my husband may look ferocious but deep inside he's just as soft as a marshmallow" Marl laughed a bit before Lucky came in
"kaaah! Did I not tell you to stop telling the past stories?! And how long do you intend to stay here? Kaaah!" Lucky shouted out
"oh dear" Marl said
"kaah! Happy! Help this girl spread her wings and find her friends!" Lucky shouted to his son
"aye sir!" Happy complied
"but my magic.." Charla muttered out
"it will be alright! Just feel happy and fly!" Happy said as he holds Charla's hand "being happy can make you fly!"
"kaaaah! Quit being nilly willy and get on with it!" Lucky shouted out as Happy and Charla ran towards the cliff
"I'll be going now!" Happy told his parent
"kaaah! Be back home before dawn or I'll kick you out!" Lucky shouted
"be safe, you two!" Marl said as Happy and Charla stands in front of the cliff and jumped off
"now feel happy and spread your wings!" Happy said as his wings appeared on his back
Charla look in doubt a bit before looking to Happy who smiled so joyfully
"be happy…and" a pink glow appeared on Charla's back as her wings spread out "Fly!"
"you did it!" Happy said with a smile as the two started flying towards the capital of Edolas
"I get it now, I am an exceed, a race who has magic within them, I thought my magic was gone, but it was just the doubt in my heart! Now I'm going to save Wendy and the others!"
The two then started to fly towards the capital as they head towards the castle
In the castle's dungeon
Lucy was stuck in the prison cell as the guards had place a rubber gel like cuffs that blocked her from using her magic
"Charla is a part of a clan called Exceed, their kingdom is called Extalia and their queen is Chagot who is revered as god. The control everything in the world, just one word from the queen can enact an execution on site" Lucy said before she rolled around "what a stupid rule! Why does it even exist?!"
Soon Knightwalker appeared in front of Lucy's cell
"ho? You certainly done your research on our world" Knightwalker said with an amused smile as she opened the cell door
"Erza!?" Lucy exclaimed as she wiggles herself towards her "where is everyone!? Are they alright?!"
"all is well" Knightwalker told her
"I see. That's a relief" Lucy said
"you seemed quite relaxed even in your situation" Knightwalker said to her
"well, you look like my world's Erza that I let my guard down a bit" Lucy said
"the me on earthland?" Knightwalker said
"yeah, you are a part of Fairy Tail" Lucy told Knightwalker everything about the Earthland's Erza
"and you are engaged to Natsu….i was so anxious to see the wedding day" Lucy said with a soft smile as Knightwalker had her hair shadowed her face "so, even though you look scary and all, you ar-"
Knightwalker grabbed Lucy's hair as she started dragging her out of her cell
"owww!" Lucy screamed out
"although the earth land me share the same traits as I am, but you forgot, I am not that Erza" Knightwalker said
"I know that you are just doing this in order to get a cure for this world's Natsu! Do you think he wants you to go through this path, Erza!?" Lucy screamed before Knightwalker grabbed her neck and lifts her up
"don't you dare lecture me! What do you know about this world's suffering!? Our magic is running out by the second! Without it how will we surive!? How will he survive without magic?!" Knightwalker shouted out as a single tear dropped to the ground
"please…..i just want…to help my friends!" Lucy said out as Knightwalker glared at her and use her spear to hang Lucy near a long drop down the castle's garden
"quiet!" Knightwalker exclaimed "you will die here and now!"
"Erza would never do anything like this!" Lucy screamed out "Erza's a good person! She would never do such a thing!"
"but I'm not that Erza. I for one enjoy seeing the despair looks of others, that's why they call me the Fairy Killer, as the name implies, I can't remember how many Fairy Tail wizards have I killed!" Knightwalker said with a dark smirk "die"
She pushed off Lucy from the drop as she falls towards the ground
But before she could fall, Charla and Happy came to the rescue
"Charla! And a blue Exceed?" Lucy said as she had no idea on who was the blue feline
"hi! I'm Happy!" Happy introduced himself to her
"i-I'm Lucy" Lucy introduced herself to the blue furred feline
"Exceed…" Knightwalker looks at the two Exceeds "why did you save that woman?! By the order of the queen, she is to be executed!"
"that order has been rescinded" Charla told the knight
"b-but even an Exceed doesn't have the rights to overturn the verdict directly from the Queen" Knightwalker said to her "hand that woman over!"
"know your place, human" Charla said as her wings spreads more and the sun shines upon her " who do you think you are speaking to? I am Princess Charla. Queen Chagot's daughter!"
This shocked everyone as Knightwalker kneeled down
"yes! Please forgive my impudence!" Knightwalker shouted out
"wha…." Lucy and Happy said
"where are the two Dragon Slayers?" Charla commanded
"i-in the dungeon of the West Tower" Knightwalker replied
"release them immediately" Charla said to her
"that is not within my authority" Knightwalker didn't complied
"don't argue! Just do it!" Charla said before Pantherlily and some soldiers came charging in "Erza!"
"Panther Lily…."
"who is he?! One of you?!" Lucy exclaimed
"aye! Never have I saw one tough looking Exceed before!" Happy exclaimed
"they are Fallen Exceed! They have been chased out of Extalia!" Panther Lily exclaimed out
"wha?!" Knightwalker exclaimed
"they caught on!" Charla exclaimed before they took off flying away "make a run for it!"
"after them!" Panther Lily ordered out to the soldiers as they went after the group
Knightwalker punched the ground as she gritted her teeth hard
"those bastards made a fool out of me!" she glared with fury
Lucy and the others were in the middle of escaping as they soar in the sky
"so, Charla is a princess" Lucy said amazed
"aye, I never knew either!" Happy said
"it's just a bluff" Charla said
"really?" Happy and Lucy said before they saw a swarm of Exceeds coming towards them
"there they are, meeeen!" Nichiya shouted out as the flying Extalia guards came after them
"Ichiya!?" Lucy exclaimed
"this is bad! There's enemies on the ground and in the sky!" Charla exclaimed "we're surrounded!"
Faust looks at what was happening from the castel's hall as his eyes were wide in surprise
"wh-what is going on here?" Faust said
"it looks like Extalia Royal Guards is chasing the Fallen, your majesty!" Coco answered while running around
Faust looks at the scene before ordering out to Coco "Activae Code ETD!"
Coco looks in shock as she gasped to what the king had spoken out
Soon, the sound of horns was heard as a banner with a symbol on it was raised up
"Code ETD!?" Knigthwalker exclaimed
"AT A TIME LIKE THIS?!" Hughes exclaimed with wide eyes
"what's up with all that noise?!" Lucy exclaimed
"we need to get indoor! Quick!" Charla exclaimed
"the Ultimate territorial defence plan…" Sugar boy said as the soldiers started to shine light in the sky
"ACTIVATE! CODE ETD!"
A giant barrier caught all the Extalia Royal guards as they were trapped in it
"what is this?!" Nichiya shouted out "what's the meaning of this, humans!?"
"what's going on here?!" Happy exclaimed
"is this a rebellion against the Exceed?!" Lucy said
"we worry about it later! Right now let's help Natsu and Wendy!" Charla said as the two went flying into the castle
"after them! They are heading to the west tower cell! Call for backup!" Knightwalker shouted out as a group of guards came chasing after them
The barrier in the sky suddenly exploded before Nichiya and the Exceed guards all turned into a cat shaped giant lacrima and fell down to the ground
"the Exceed turned into a lacrima…" "no way" "w-we actually did it" "a-are we going to be alright?"
All the soldiers started to whisper to each other on what they have just done as this would sure enrage the Exceed queen
"there are no gods in this world!" Faust shouted out from above "we humans suffered under limited magic while the Exceed boasts of their Unlimited magic!"
Faust spreads his hand out as the soldiers looked at him
"so why? Why cannot we such close neighbours gain such limitless power?!" Faust shouted out "the age of us humans living under their thumb is over! This is for Humanity's future! The future of unlimited magic!"
"I say to you my warriors! Let us stand up together! COMMENCE CODE ETD: EXCEED TOTAL DESTRUCTION! ELIMINATE ALL THE ANGELS!"
All the soldiers cheered to their king as the Exceed extermination plan was in motion
"so this is what the military build up was all about…" Panther lily said as he gritted his teeth
Draguma looks from the window of his room as he was shocked on what his father had done
"you fool" Draguma said as he punched the wall "you've just started Edolas's countdown to the end"
Draguma then gets out of bed as he went to his closet and grabbed a royal fashioned attire
"by acquiring the power of the Exceed, our country can have magic power forever!" Faust laughed out
Coco was running in a panic as the situation was pure chaos to her
"your majesty! The queen will attack us! The army of Extalia is very powerful!" she said to the old king
"that is why we've captured the Dragon Slayers" Faust said "we must take down the gods now, Bryo! Hurry with the extraction plan!"
In the castle's underground dungeon, Wendy and Natsu were chained to a rock as Byro was standing in front of them with two machines behind him
The old man laughed evilly as he holds two vacuums like tubes
Lucy and the others were running down the stairs and heading to the dungeon where Natsu and Wendy were held at
"hurry! We need to get them out of here before this war starts!" Charla exclaimed
All of the sudden, Knightwalker's spear came flying towards them and nearly sliced them but it missed
"that's far enough" Knightwalker and a group of soldiers came walking in as they surround Lucy and the others
"they're already caught up to us!?" Lucy exclaimed before Knightwalker's spear suddenly glow and a bright explosion blew Lucy and the others to the wall
"ho? You managed to survive a blast of my magic?" Knightwalker said amused
Lucy and the others tried to get up but the blast managed to give them some very deep wounds
"aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh!"
A sudden scream was heard from in the dungeon as it was Wendy's
"that's Wendy's voice! She's here!" Charla exclaimed
"what are you people doing to her!?" Lucy exclaimed while trying to sit up
"we're taking their magic we need for code ETD" Knightwalker said with a smirk
Wendy's screams keep ringing out in the hall as Charla's fear for her safety increased
"stop it now!" Charla screamed out
"you have no authority over us, Fallen" Knightwalker said
"but I do" a voice spoke as from behind the soldiers was Natsu Draguma as the man was wearing a royal attire
"Natsu…!" Knightwalker looks in surprise
The soldiers made way for the man as he went in front of Knightwalker
"this plan, this Code ETD! Everything about it is stupid! Why are you even in part of this, Erza?!" Draguma exclaimed to her "the Erza I know would never go with such a plan!"
"all of you! Withdraw this plan immediately!" Draguma shouted out as he ordered the guards behind Knightwalker to back away "my father has lost his mind! Killing the lives of Earthland citizens just to obtain magic is a foolish action! We have t-gah!"
Lucy looks in shock as Knightwalker had punched Draguma in the gut
"gah…Erza…why?" Draguma grunted out in pain as Knightwalker caught him as he was about to fall
"it is for the kingdom and for you" Knightwalker said as Draguma passed out in her arms
"take him to my chambers and guard him in there" Knightwalker said as some of the guards took Draguma away
"why did you do that!? He was trying to give some sense to you!" Lucy said to Knightwalker
"quiet!" Knightwalker exclaimed "he is still sick and his mind cannot comprehend the benefit of obtaining the unlimited amount of magic"
"with magic, I will finally be able to cure his disease and be rid of it for good!" Knightwalker said as she readied her spear at Lucy "now die!"
As Knightwalker was about to end Lucy's life, a big explosion blew away some soldiers behind them as everyone looks in surprise
"did you know that they are members of our guilds when you decide to do this?" a voice spoke as Lucy looked surprise
"anyone who tries to hurt our guild members deserves no mercy!" another voice spoke as a blade shines from a light
"nya" a cat meow was heard as a furry tail swings around
"h-how are you here?" Charla said as Lucy smiled in tears
"in other words, you have just made us your enemies!"
The dust of smoke clear as it revealed Gray, Erza and Milo
"you are Enemies of Fairy Tail!" Gray said with an angered look
"Erza! Gray! Milo!" Lucy exclaimed in joy
"nya!" Milo meowed out while riding on Erza's shoulder
Knightwalker looks in shock to see another her in front of her
"there's another Erza-san!?" "is that Gray Sorloge!?" "what's with the cat?"
"no! those two are from Earthland!" Knightwalker exclaimed
"where are our friends!?" Gray exclaimed as he put his hand in a gesture as cold air started to seep out "where are our friends you turned into a lacrima!"
Gray slammed his hand to the ground as a geyser of ice blasted away the soldiers
Knightwalker dodged the attack as she slides on the ice and lunged her spear at Gray but Erza intercepted the Edolas Commander
a shockwave blew out from the collision of power as the ground was shook from it
"Erza vs Erza!?" Lucy exclaimed before hearing more of Wendy's scream coming from the end of the hallway
"Wendy's voice!" Charla exclaimed
"is she close?!" Gray asked
"just down there!" Lucy said
"Natsu should be there too!" Charla added in
"Gray! Go!" Erza said as Milo ran to Gray and rides on his shoulders "I'll hold her off!"
"alright!" Gray said
"can you stand up, Lucy?" Gray asked her
"yeah" Lucy replied
"h-how did you get here?" Lucy asked as Milo hopped onto her shoulder this time
"questions later! We got to save Natsu and Wendy!" Gray said as everyone run towards the end of the hallway
Erza and Knightwalker clashed against each other as their attacks caused a cut on their faces
"I never expected myself to hinder my way" Knightwalker said to Erza
"I do feel about this" Erza said
"I am the commander of the Second Magical Warfare Division, Erza Knightwalker" Knightwalker said to Erza
"I'm Erza Scarlet, A Fairy Tail Wizard" Erza said as the two readied their weapons against each other
"let us see how the Earth-land me fights!" Knightwalker said as her spear transformed in the blink of an eye
"Silfarion!" Knightwalker dashed towards Erza as her speed was increased
A fury of slashes were sent flying to Erza as the scarlet knight had a hard time defending against them all
"then!" Erza requip into her flight armor as she use her enhanced speed to counter attack Knightwalker
"her armor transformed and her speed was increased!?" Knightwlalker said as she dodged a slash attack from Erza before she changed her spear's form
"Mel Force!" a sudden push of power pushed Erza and sends her crashing to the wall
Her spear then changes again as it glowed bright red
"requip?! No, her weapon is only changing its tip!" Erza said
"Explosion!"
Knightwalker swings her spear at Erza as a powerful explosion of flames blew Erza and destroyed the wall, leading the battle to a room decorated in Faust's statues
Erza stood in her Flame Empress Armor as the explosion barely damaged her
"her armor changed again" Knightwalker said in surprise
"your magic transforms your armor and your sword at the same time?" Knightwalker asked
"while the Edolas me changes the shape of her weapon" Erza said
"my fighting strength also increases depending on the shape of my spear" Knightwalker said to Erza
"the principles are different but the effects are the similar to that of my "the Knight" armor" Erza said as both Scarlet hair knights readied their weapons against each other
"you will now see the true power of Ten Commandments, my magic spear" Knightwalker said
"then come!" Erza said before the two dashed at each other and clashed their weapons
Wendy screams were heard out as the young mage was getting her magic sucked away
"aaahhhhh!" Wendy screamed out as Byro just laughed
"it ish amazing, the sheer amount of Dragon Slayer magic these two have" Byro said as he laughed
"I said stop it! Stop hurting Wendy!" Natsu shouted out as he struggled in the cuffs, he was bind in
"gehehehe!" Byro laughed out to Natsu's struggle
"I said STOP IT!" Natsu roared out as a black demonic aura appeared as it took form of a demon
"geeh!" Byro points the magic vacuum at Natsu as the machine started to suck in Natsu's magic
"Gaaaaaahhhhhh!" Natsu shouted out as he struggles around as his eyes glowed red
"this man is more of a monster than a human!" Byro said as the amount of magic that was being drained by Natsu was enourmous
"with this much magic power, Edolas would have more than 50 years' worth of magic!" Byro said with a laugh
"BASTARD! Natsu roared out as black markings suddenly appeared on his neck as he breaks off the chains of the cuffs and broke loose
"what!?" Byro exclaimed as Natsu huffs out steam like a monster
A monster like growl was heard as Natsu looks at Byro with his eyes glowing red
"geeeh! He is a real monster!" Byro screamed in fear as Natsu took a step forward before falling down to the ground
The black markings on Natsu disappeared as the man went out cold
"what a monster" Byro said in fear as that was the most frightening thing, he had ever seen
Byro looks to the magic drain machine as the amount of magic he drained from the two were just enough
"I suppose this ish enough" Byro said as he left the two with the machines
Natsu grunted in pain as he opened his eyes slowly as he saw a dark figure in front of him before his eyes closed as the dark figure disappears
That's a wrap!
Bye bye
