A/N: Funny enough, even though I'm redoing this story, it feels as though I'm redoing each chapter, like how I redid Ch1-19 2 years ago. It's somewhat the same, but still... it's crazy how time flies, huh? I was such an amateur writer that I basically rushed everything, romance most of all. Luckily, I learned from my mistakes, so... as I said before, I'll try my best in not trying to rush the Fairy Tail girls with Goku. Also, I'm going to take another shot at the 21 arc, but do it in my own way, not the game version, no...
Towa Arc
Chapter 2: A New Fairy Tail Member...
The sudden announcement of Goku wanting to join Fairy Tail sends the entire guild that was present into a moment of silence. Their eyes opened and their mouths were left hanging. Just earlier about 10 minutes ago, they were talking about heading towards Goku, with some people in the guild having different intentions with him. Never in their wildest dreams would they assume he would want to join them. Hell, they assumed he was already in a guild...
"You said you want to join Fairy Tail, correct? Is that what I'm hearing...?" Makarov said, still confused on what's happening in front of him.
Goku nodded forward. "Mhm. That's what I said, yup."
"It's not as though I'm suspicious of you, my boy, but what makes you want to join us?" Makarov asked.
"Well... do you guys remember the whole fiasco with those two over there?" Goku pointed at Natsu and Gray who pointed at themselves.
"How could we not? They were literally seconds away from killing all of Magnolia..." said Lucy, arms crossed.
"Haha, good point. Basically, right as when I was about to tell you why those two were infected with that kind of aura, I sensed the same power level far away from here. At some fancy-ish castle. There was some green-haired girl wearing a crown who was getting attacked by this guy with a long-nose."
"Huh!? You mean you teleported to Princes Hisui!?" Lucy shouted.
"I take it you all know her?"
"In a way, yes." Mirajane replied. "But Goku, why was Arcadios attacking Princess Hisui? Wait, you said just like Natsu & Gray?"
"Yup, yup! Long-nose guy was possessed by the aura-ish, so I had to put him down."
"Y-You killed him!?" Lucy shouted again.
"What? No. I just neck chopped him unconciously." Goku responded, doing a neck chop gesture with his right hand.
"Wait, wait, wait." Natsu cuts in, rudely. "If you took out that dude in less than a second I'm assuming here, why the hell did it take you so long to come back to us, man?"
"Good question..." Goku had his right index finger on his chin as he looked up at the guildhall ceiling. "Oh, I remember. I got rewarded with food, haha."
Goku's response caused the entire Fairy Tail guild to fall on their backs...
"Getting back on topic here..." Mirajane slightly coughs. "Earlier, right as when you defeated Natsu and Gray, you mentioned something about this Time Rift. Arcadios must've been under that Time Rift for you to check out, I'm assuming?"
Goku eyed her, causing the She-Devil to blush hard. His eyes slightly opened, but he took a peak at her beauty, in a sense. "Hmm, yeah. That's correct. That's very weird. I'm sensing the same amount of energy in you but you're not possessed? How odd..."
"Eh? You're saying I have it too?"
"Possibly. I'm not very sure. So can I join your guild or what? Seeing as though I'm stuck in this timeline, I need to make do with what's in front of me. Back with Princess green-hair, she told me everything there is about this planet you call Earthland. How there are guilds everywhere around the world. Though, what interests me is how she kept bringing up Fairy Tail. At first, I didn't know what to do in trying to find that guild, but she kept hyping all you up. Saying how you're the strongest guild out there."
"You wanted to join because we're strong?" Mirajane repeated, confused.
"Mhm." Goku nodded, eyes closed as he smiled. "Princess green-hair gave me more insight about what you guys look like. When she mentioned pink-hair, red-hair, and yellow-hair, I knew right away she was talking about you guys."
"Hehe! Well, we did win the Grand Magic Games, you know!" Natsu cuts in, rubbing his nose.
"Flex on him, Natsu!" Happy said.
"So, I thought why not join Fairy Tail? I want to fight the strongest in this timeline!"
"Timeline? You're a time traveler?" Loke cuts in.
"Somewhat. You see, I also have this Time Rift effect on me, but I swear I'm not possessed! So how 'bout it? Can I join?"
Makarov & everyone were quiet. They knew from Goku's words alone that he was a nice person, someone who has no ill intent. And so, they had an answer for him. But before Makarov could give the Saiyan the answer he was looking for, Natsu briefly interrupts and came in front of Makarov, in front of Goku's face...
"You can join, dude! But on one condition!"
"Sure. What is it?"
The power Goku displayed towards him when he was possessed bought Natsu's attention. He knew the difference in strength right away when his controlled body tried to kill him. In his mind, he saw an ease Goku just chilled and relaxed hours prior. And so, he gets on his knees and placed his head down to the floor, surprising everyone...
"Take me in as your student, Goku! Please!"
"Natsu..." Lucy was shocked to see Natsu this way. Never had she ever seen him show such manners.
"OK. Deal!"
"Really?" Natsu got up immediately, eyes filled with sparks.
"Mhm. Definitely, um..."
"Natsu! Natsu Dragneel!" He gave out his hand for Goku to take. "It's a pleasure to meet you, dude!" Natsu grins happily at his official teacher. "Oh, and this here is my buddy, Happy!"
"Hello!" Happy flew around Goku, making his head follow in his direction. "Hope we can be good friends!"
"Likewise."
"Ahem... if you're going to take ash breath here under your wing, then you might as well count me in. I'm Gray Fullbuster. It's a pleasure." Gray greets Goku shirtless, causing him to stare at his body, but not in that way.
"Err... same, Gray. Same..." Goku awkwardly takes his hand. "(He wasn't shirtless moments ago. I guess he took it off because it's hot?)"
"Oh? You want Goku to teach you, Gray? Is that your way on trying to tell me you want to get ahead of me, is that it?" Natsu smugly looks at him, irritating Gray as the two bump heads.
"What kind of bullshit do you take me for, Natsu? I'm already stronger than you. Why would I want to use Goku as an excuse on wanting to surpass someone as garbage as you?."
"The hell did you just say, frosty?" Natsu's shark teeth surfaced.
"What, are you deaf or somethin'? Guess the apple doesn't fall far from the tree now, does it?"
"Oh, that's it! I've just about had it with you and your bullshit! It's time I shut you up with my fist!"
"Um... shouldn't you guys be stopping them?" Goku asked, looking at Mirajane.
"Oh, there's no need to, Goku. They fight all the time, It's very common for them to do this. It's an almost everyday thing with the boys." Mirajane said, smiling.
"Really? You guys must be really tight or something, huh?"
"I suppose that's the word. Though, at times, their fighting sometimes can be fatal for the two of them."
"Fatal?"
"See for yourself."
When Goku turned around, he saw a red-haired female in armor walking up to the boys. Judging from her face, she was quite annoyed with the two. The moment Goku had arrived and asked to join the guild, she went straight to work and punched both their stomachs and threw them at a table. After she took care of them, she turned around to greet Goku with a charming smile...
"Hi there, it's nice to meet you. I'm Erza Scarlet."
"Uh... yeah. I'm Goku."
Both of them stuck out their hands. Taking in a handshake, Erza notice Goku's grip. It was strong. She knows Goku isn't normal, so she isn't taking chances with him and won't take him so lightly...
"As expected from someone who bested Natsu & Gray. You have a firm grip."
"You too. I've never met a girl who could add that much force from a handshake alone."
"Thank you. I'll take that as a compliment." Erza smiled.
"Hey, if we're finally gonna introduce ourselves to him, then I'm next in line! I'm Lucy Heartfilia! And I'm a Celestial Mage!"
"Celestial Mage? That title alone makes me think you're strong, too, Lucy!"
"Her power comes from the Zodiac Keys she has around her waist. That's all there is to a Celestial Wizard. Other than that, she's basically weaker than your average mage." Erza added, roasting Lucy as she got heated up.
"H-Hey, Erza! Don't go telling Goku that! He didn't need to know that!" Lucy responded to Erza's words of betrayal by shaking her shoulders back and forth, making Erza laugh in the process.
Getting to know these people made Goku happy for some reason, and seeing a happy Saiyan made Mirajane happy as well. As he begins to greet Wendy next & the others, Lisanna came next to her older sister. She noticed something was off about her...
"You know, sis, I think it would be a good thing to have Goku with us." Lisanna said as her hands were behind her back.
"How so, Lisanna?"
"Well, for starters, he's very good looking."
That compliment shook Mirajane. "Eh!? I thought you were into Natsu!"
"Haha! It's just a compliment!" Lisanna couldn't help but laugh at her older sister's sudden jump. "But it does make me wonder if there's something bad that's going to happen."
"I know what you mean by that. I feel the same way." Mirajane placed her right hand on her chest. "This Time Rift thing that Goku spoke off, everything doesn't make sense and it's hurting my brain. For now, we should make Goku feel at home. Go introduce yourself to him. I can see Elfman doing so right now."
"I know, I know. I'm already ahead of you." Lisanna said, walking to Goku as she sees him in a predicament with Elfman.
Erza helped Goku with more introductions with other members that were present and by the time things simmered down, the Saiyan managed to remember everyone's faces & names. To which, turns to his part of the bargain even though there wasn't one in the first place. After 20 minutes of getting to know everyone, Goku clears his throat. He begins to explain everything. Questions that was on everyone's mind was about to get answered...
-[3O MINUTES LATER...]-
"And yeah... that's the gist of it, you guys."
"Saiyan, timeline... huh!?" Natsu, Gray & Lucy said, confused.
"You coming from a timeline that's not ours does make sense in a way." Erza admitted. "Well, I wouldn't say this isn't a first time we had something like this happen before."
"Really? You've been to other timelines?"
"Timelines? No. Worlds? Yes." Erza nodded, arms crossed. "It's a long story, Goku."
"Speaking of which, for you to official be in our guild, you'll need to bear our symbol." Mirajane cuts in, grabbing his right hand. "Follow me."
"Okay..."
The two went behind the bar counter that Mirajane usually attends. The color he went with was orange and he wanted it placed on his left thigh, like Mirajane's. But before the She-Devil could stamp him, she heard his stomach growled...
"Oh, my..." Mirajane looks at Goku as he laughs a little.
"My bad. After explaining for that long, I sort of got hungry in the mix."
"But... didn't you eat over at Princess Hisui's?"
"Yeah, but I guess I'm still hungry. Thank you for the food!" He placed his chopsticks down and punched his right palm. "All right! Back to your symbol thingy! How do I get one of those?"
"Well, for starters, silly, where would you like it?" Mirajane asked, holding the stamp up in front of him. "And not to mention the color. We have all sorts of colors. Judging from your clothes, orange?"
Goku nodded. "Works for me, Mirajane!"
"Just call me, Mira, Goku." she slowly walks over to him. "So, where?"
"Here, on my left thigh! For someone so young, you sure know your way around this guild, huh?" Goku said as he pulls down his lower gi for his thigh exposure.
Mirajane's cheeks were slightly red. She didn't let it get to her as she proceeded to stamp Goku's designated area. "Y-Young? Goku, unless the Time Rift's playing tricks on your mind, you're just as young as I am."
"Eh? I do?" Goku was confused until he was handed a mirror. "Holy crap! I DO look young!" he looks around his face and couldn't believe it. He pinched himself, but he wasn't hallucinating at all. It was all real. "How bizarre. I look like myself back when I fought Piccolo at the 23rd World Martial Tournament. Eh, could be my Saiyan genes.
"Are you all right, Goku?" Mirajane looked up at his face. "You seem a little confused."
"I'm... OK. I just need time to process this, haha." Goku chuckled, pulling up his lower gi. He tightens his blue belt after wrapping it completely. "So, is there anything I need to know about being in Fairy Tail? Any rules? Just to let you know, I'm not good with rules."
Mirajane giggled. "Just make sure you treasure us as your family. Oh, and to do missions to earn rewards that would benefit you for sure! Any more questions, Goku?"
"Yeah. Who's the strongest in this guild? Is it you?" Goku leaned closer to her, invading her space as she was caught off guard.
"I-I... well..." Mirajane hesitated to comment on the matter. The fact that he got really close to her, her thoughts were interrupted. She couldn't properly come up with a good answer for his curiosity. "The strongest would be... err..."
Luckily, she was saved. The Celestial Spirit duo cuts their conversation short. Virgo lightly taps Goku's shoulder. As Goku turns around, he was met with Virgo staring at him blankly and Loke waving at him while smoking...
"Hmm?" Goku looked down at the portrait Virgo made and was impressed. "Hey, that's me!"
"Indeed, Supreme Deity." said Virgo.
"Eh? Supreme Deity? Where'd you get that from?"
"Mira, can we borrow your boyfriend for a minute? We need to talk to the new member, if that's okay." Loke asked.
Mirajane snapped back and nodded. "Y-Yes! Of course you can, you two! Goku, let me know if you need any more questions, okay?"
"Sure. Bye, Mira!" Goku waved at her as he and the two Celestial Spirits walked outside the guildhall. "Sure is sunny today, huh? So, what do you guys want to talk to me about?"
"For starters, it's a pleasure to meet someone who can go toe-to-toe with the gods themselves. My name is Loke." He gave out his hand as he drops his cigarette on the ground for him to take out. "And this here is Virgo, my sister."
"Whoa, you guys are related? You guys don't even look alike!"
"Hmm? Oh, no. I just like calling her that, Goku." Loke corrected him. "Let's just get down to it, shall we? Goku, the reason Virgo and I asked to talk to you alone is because we know what you are. A god. You see, you've been discovered by beings like us from another world, the Celestial world. Over there, there's this being who rules that world. The Celestial King."
"Oooh. He sounds strong." Goku couldn't help but imagine it.
"Haha, you know it. The Celestial King sensed your presences, or rather he had a premonition that you would come over to this world to rule over it. Then our world."
Goku took a step back, shocked. "Eh!? Why would he think that? I got better things to do than to rule a planet!"
"The Celestial King's been one to take counter measures when it comes to things such as that. It's in his nature to feel that way, Supreme Deity." Virgo cuts in.
"So he tasked us with a proposition! My sister here!" Loke points at her with proud. "Even though you don't seem the type to do such a horrific thing, the Celestial King has offered Virgo here to be your servant!"
"S-Servant?" Goku tilted his head, confused. "What do you mean by that?"
"I'll do whatever you want, Supreme Deity, whether it'd be naughty or not. I'll do it. The Celestial King offers me as a contract to you as a peace offering."
"Er... but I'm not a pervert to do those naughty things. Why can't you just tell him I won't try to rule your guys' world, hmm? All I want to do is fight strong people!"
"Is that right? Well, there you have it, Virgo. You don't need to offer yourself to the Goku since he's not interested in having a servant." Loke said. "Though, I must ask. How come?"
"Offering yourself shouldn't be something forced. And by just looking at the assumption your king made, I would hate it if Virgo here would do something against her will."
"I certainly don't mind, Supreme Deity. I'm a glutton for punishment." Virgo added.
"Excuse me?" Goku scoffed a little.
As Virgo was about explain herself on her sudden comment, the portrait she was holding disappeared. "It's just a way for me to move on in the day, is all. Everyone has that one thing they love, right? You with your fighting. Big Brother Loke with his way with the opposite gender. It's like that."
"Oh, I see! It helps you pass time, right? Well, you should've just said so! If you want me to have you as my servant, then so be! I've got some conditions I'd like to put on the table."
"Name them." The two said.
"First, you can drop that name. Just call me Goku or Kakarot or whatever. Anything but the Supreme Deity. I am a Super Saiyan God, yes, but it's weird when you call me Supreme Deity."
"Duly noted." Virgo nodded.
"Second, if you're gonna be my servant as an offering from the Celestial King, then you have to be stronger than your current self-right now! This is cheating in a way, but I'll give you some of my divine energy to you. That way, your body can feel its natural taste on what kind of power I'm expecting out of you. Basically, you're going to become a god, too!"
(A/N: Yeah, this idea is dumb but I got this kind of idea from Mechikabura when he gave Towa & the others Demon God/Goddess powers. So I thought, why not, you know?)
"A-A god!?" Loke shouted as his shades slide down. "Hey Virgo, you're actually going to be okay with this!?"
"I see no problem in that. Unless you're jealous I'll be a lot stronger than you since it's Kakarot here that'll give me Super Saiyan God powers." Virgo slightly smiled.
"Then it's a deal!"
Virgo gave out both her hands as Goku took them. He turned into a Super Saiyan God to show the two that he could since he saw that portrait. His crimson aura was now merging onto Virgo as her eyes filtered in crimson red. There was a Celestial contract in front of them. It was signed as it now indicates that the Celestial Maid now belongs to the Super Saiyan God, that she was now incline to serve under him no matter what he asks for!
Virgo has now two masters/owners. Lucy Heartfilia & Son Goku. Under the circumstances, the Celestial Maid has acquired the powers of a Super Saiyan God. HOWEVER, just because she has Super Saiyan God powers, that doesn't indicate that she turned into a Saiyan. She just got the power and nothing more of it. Simply put it, she's BORROWING his power...
"There. Welcome aboard, Virgo!"
"Ahh..." Virgo's cheeks were red and her eyes were the same crimson color. She twitched a little as she wasn't used to this kind of power. Loke was worried but fear not. Virgo pulled herself together. Her eyes went back to its original color. "Kakarot, am I a god now like you?"
"Well... temporarily. You see, you're not a Saiyan like me. So you're on borrowed time. I'm not sure when, but your Super Saiyan God powers will diminish little by little and soon it'll be gone when that day comes. I don't know how long you'll have it but it's not permanent. But when that time comes when you run out, let me know and I'll give you more."
"Goku, not that I don't have a problem with it, but why did you give Virgo parts of your power for?" Loke asked.
"It's easy! It's 'cause I want to fight her, that's why!" Goku quickly responded. "It could take weeks or months or even years for that kind for that power to go away! So I'm going to utilize the time and make sure we spar almost every day! We're going to have a blast, Virgo!"
"R-Right..." She looked away, blushing but her face was still blank to avoid his gaze. "Big Brother, since we're on a good pacing with Kakarot, we should report back to the Celestial King. He would want to know about everything that just transpired."
"Right. Well, Goku, it's been fun. We'll see you later!" Loke creates a portal as he was half-way in. "See ya again if we cross paths!"
"Right... see ya!" He waved back, showing a smile. "Don't be a stranger, shades man! If you're strong, let's spar!"
"S-Sure. When that day comes..." He sweats a little, leaving after. "(Over my dead body, that is)." He nervously gulps, fixing his shades as they slid down earlier.
As Virgo was about to enter, she takes one final look at Goku, who was still waving back and forth at them. She usually isn't one to look at someone like that, but Goku? A god whom she has never seen before on Earthland. Someone who rivals gods and could shatter the entire universal on a whim? Now that the contract was sealed, Virgo is Goku's obedient slave. This was the beginning of weirded relationship between the Super Saiyan God & the Celestial Maid as her so-called punishment would question Goku in all sorts of ways he never had with any girl in his entire life. And she leaves...
"Hmm. How very strange, even by my standards. Hmm?" Goku sensed someone leaving the guildhall. As he turns around, he see an eager Natsu.
"Hey, man! Let's get started on training already! I wanna get strong so I can beat your butt in our rematch!" Natsu said, waving his hand up left & right as he was jumping up and down very enthusiastically.
"OK! Sure!" Goku happily replied back, smiling. "(Something tells me I'm gonna enjoy being here! I wonder what Fairy Tail & the rest of this timeline will have in store for me...)"
Late Morning, 11:21:54 AM
Timeline A
Goku's House, the Backyard...
-(Mirajane's POV)-
It's been an exact week since Goku became a member of Fairy Tail. In that week, all of us got to know him a lot better, what his mission is when he jumped from his timeline to ours. He has a wife, well... ex-wife, and 2 kids. There are more like him in his timeline to where some are even stronger. He's been in numerous battles that determined the fate of his planet multiple times the odds just kept stacking to where the universe was later at stake.
In those 7 days, we helped Goku feel at home. When he came here, this Bulma person gave Goku lots and lots of equipment that she asked him to set up. But knowing Goku, he's not very bright. Thankfully, we have Levy for that job! I got to tell ya, I've never seen her so invested in technology so advanced before. From this capsule container, there were multiple things Goku was given for him to live in this timeline for now. So many sections, with one of them being technology for Levy to aid. There rest were things you would see in a camping trip. Him having all of this made everyone in Fairy Tail like him even more.
For him to have all the attention, all the eyes on him, I sort of feel jealous. Here's why. This is a prime example here. Arcadios, the man who serves Princess Hisui by her side, was devoured in the Time Rift effects, like Natsu & Gray. So without knowing, he attacked her. Goku swooped in and saved her. Thus, she started having feelings for him, she started falling for him like a typical fairy tale. No pun intended.
How do I know this to be true, you may ask? Well, after Goku became a member, he told us Princess Hisui gave him permission to see her almost every day because she took interest in him, as everyone else in Fairy Tail has. So that's what he's been doing in his free spare time. But other than that, he's been spending mostly all his time with us & his new students. Goku, a teacher? I never took him to be the type, to be honest. Then again, looks can be deceiving.
As I'm on my way to his house, which is located outside of Magnolia, in a forest since that's where he originated in his timeline when he was a kid, I was getting nervous. He took in 3 students: Natsu, Gray & Erza. He started training them on day 1, where Lucy, Happy, Juvia Wendy & Carla would just watch. Levy was too busy modifying the setup for the communication from this timeline to Goku's while Cana, shockingly enough, also came over and helped herself to his Earthland's alcohol. She liked it so much, she kept coming over every day. It rubs me the rub way, honestly. I may be jumping to conclusion, but aren't there too many girls at Goku's house!?
Ah, I'm getting ahead of myself. I shouldn't think that way anyway. It's not healthy...
"You sure overdid it again with the cooking, Mira." Lisanna said as she wasn't surprised to see me carry loads of bento boxes. She help carried some of them.
"It's all for the sake of Goku, Lisanna." I tried to justified her reason. "Besides, he doesn't know how to cook. I would feel bad if he couldn't fight well on an empty stomach while on a mission, you know?" The two of us were walking on the path to Goku's house.
"Man, could you believe it? All 120 capsules from that square container and 20 of them are different options of a house! Goku's house is amazing! 3-floors and yet... it's nothing I've ever seen before."
"Not to mention the other capsules are in sections of personal needs, too." I added. "Something like that could last an entire 5 years for an entire city! Whoever this Bulma person is, I've got to give her credit."
"Yeah. That's why we're having Levy try to build a screening facetime with Goku's timeline, where she is with all of Goku's other friends! Could you imagine what his world looks like?"
"Probably more advance since his house is so futuristic." I said. "Oh, we're here." We arrived at his house, in front of his main door. "OK..." I sighed.
"Any day now, sis." Lisanna was getting impatient.
"I know, I know!" I quickly knocked on the door. And the person to pick up was Cana, who was already drunk.
"Hmm? Oh, hey, hey, you two! Fancy meetin' you here! Wow, are all those for me?" Cana said, wobbling as she struggled hard to maintain her stance. Every 5 words, she started hiccupping.
"How many did you drink this time, Cana?" Lisanna asked as the two of us headed inside.
"Hehehe. Oh, you know, just like... 27." Cana giggled. "Mira, are you here for Goku?"
"I'm here to give him lunch, yes." I corrected her. This was a good excuse just to see him.
"Well, HIC! They're outside—HIC! In the backyard that's, you know, super, duper large!" Cana later collapsed to one of the couches in the living room.
"And there she goes." Lisanna couldn't help but laugh. "Goku's Earthland booze must be so much stronger if our best drunken mage is down for the count. 27 here is child's play to her."
"No kidding." I added.
The two of us headed into the kitchen. From there, we saw Levy enjoying a nice cold bottle of water with her glasses up...
"Hmm? Mira! Lisanna! Hey!" Levy waved at us.
"Hey, Levy. Working hard?" Lisanna sets down half of the bento boxes I made on the kitchen table as I placed down the other half that I was carrying.
"Mhm. I should be done though. Staying at this luxurious house, pulling all-nighters after all-nighters, it's really taking a toll on me. There are pros and cons, but... it's hard to believe tech like this actually exist, you know? Placing up a computer so advanced, I literally had to read the manual that came with it, page by page! It was so exhausting that I thought I was gonna die! But after a full week, I finished! I just need to tweak a few things and we're good to go on our side. Goku can make calls to his friends from the other timeline he came from."
That's our Levy. We were so amazed, Lisanna & I simultaneously clapped at the same. As we were applauding her, Levy took a bow...
"Thank you, thank you. Oh, I see you went overboard with the cooking again, huh, Mira? 12 sets? That's 144 bento boxes combined! Enough to feed an entire guild!" Levy's eyes opened as she was shocked. "You've outdone yourself this time, Mira!"
I laughed by her remarks. "It's my way on congratulating Goku on becoming a member for a week."
"Speaking of Goku, sis, you can pretty much out with it. You like him, don't you?"
This was when I began to tense up. My face slightly turned red as all of a sudden, I became defensive towards Lisanna and Levy. "I-I... I don't know what you're talking about, Lisanna! Why are you jumping such conclusions!?"
"Eh? Is that how we're gonna play it? Mira, you're head over heels for him! You never smile so brightly before until he came along!"
"That is true. It's like Goku has this charm on you that you can't help but notice." Levy adds, looking up as she imagined Goku with dashing eyes. "He does have that kind of effect on you, huh? I wonder if he feels the same way."
"H-He doesn't!" I tried to stand my ground, but doing so drove me deeper in the hole I already made. "He has a family, remind you!"
"But he's single, remind you." Lisanna adds, smirking as she continues to tease me. "You're so happy around him when you get the opportunity to spend time with him. But when he goes to spend time with Princess Hisui, you get all disappointed and sad! If I remember correctly, you mumbled on multiple occasions on when he would come back."
"That's not true! That's not—"
"Mira, it's true and you know it." Lisanna & Levy cuts me off.
Oh, they were right. Goku's been on my mind almost every single day! I gave up wondering how someone like him could make me feel so warm inside that I couldn't help but fantasize everything about him, about us together. What am I saying? I feel like a school girl talking about my crush. This was so embarrassing that I placed both my hands on my blushing cheeks. I was steaming up...
"Aha! I knew it! You DO like Goku!" Lisanna pointed at me, happy that she trusted her instincts. She knew she was right from the beginning. She just needed to push me into admitting it. And somehow she succeeded.
"Err... yeah. I suppose I do." I shamefully admitted.
"Suppose is an understatement, Mira. But this conversation isn't for me. I'll see you guys later." She threw the empty bottle in the trash and went back to the computer to tweak a few things.
With Levy leaving the kitchen, it was just me and my sister. She was always one to spot the things in people that thought they could hide secrets well...
"So, does Goku know?" Lisanna asked.
"No. He doesn't. It's only been a week, Lisanna. It would be too soon to confess my so-called liking to him, you know? Plus, even though we know all about him, he doesn't know all of me, like, at all."
"Then ask him on a date!" Lisanna got in front of my face. "Think about it! All he's been doing is training his students to later visiting the Fiore Princess! It's obvious you've got competition, so why not try to get one up on her! The one thing you have to take advantage of is that we have Goku every day in our guild!"
My eyes were opened. "You bring up a good point. But... even if I could muster up the courage, what would we talk about?"
"Give him a tour of Magnolia! The only thing he's been to since coming here is our guild, his house & Princess Hisui's home. I guarantee you, Mira, you can use this as a chance to get close to him! Being his tour guide and walk around Magnolia! I hear some places got some of the most romantic things for just the right couple, hmm?"
I hopelessly sighed. "It's best not to rush, Lisanna. Otherwise, I might ruin the relationship with him."
"But what if the Fiore Princess gets to him before you?"
"We don't even know if she's even going for him, despite him going to her place every day on numerous occasions." I brought up.
Our conversation got cut short. Every morning 'till afternoon hits, Goku spars Natsu, Gray and Erza on a 3-on-1 handicap match. For the past 7 days, there had been explosions and earthquakes that alarmed so many people from Magnolia that it's got them shaking in their boots. And so, Lisanna and I headed out to the backyard.
His backyard was so big, it served as a training ground for his students. And speaking of his students, they weren't doing so well. Lisanna and I could see Erza hanging onto a branch on one of the trees as Natsu & Gray were up in the air trying to land a hit on Goku, who was in his Super Saiyan form.
With what can transpire here, Goku, with no effort smacked both the two to the ground as there were soon craters from out of the smoke. To my left, I could see Lucy, Happy, Juvia, Wendy & Carla at a round umbrella table. Every day, since the training first started, those five would come over to his house to see him train the three. Speaking of which, they've made progress! Natsu, Gray & Erza were now able to grasp the ability to use Ki, which is similar to magic but more suitable in combat depending on how you use it. In just one week, Goku manage to push their limits to the max in helping them break out their shells. They're much, much stronger now than before...
"Hmm?" Goku looked down and spotted me and Lisanna. He teleported to Erza, held her over his right shoulder and placed her next to Natsu & Gray as they got up. Erza, too. "OK, you three. I'm gonna end training early for today."
The three were beyond exhausted. Their legs were shaking nonstop and they were sweating to the bone here. Panting nonstop, the three quickly ran to the table with Lucy & the others. On that table were three cold refreshed bottles. They quickly devoured the bottle and was now fine...
"Hey, Mira! Lisanna! Good to see you two again!" Goku powered down to base form and walked up to us.
"Hi!" Lisanna smiled at him as I tried to do the same but struggled in the process.
"H-How are you, Goku?" I asked him but shyly looked away. Lisanna noticed.
"I'm good. It's hard not to think about breakfast when you're not here. Speaking of which, how much did you make?"
"144..."
Everyone excluding Lisanna me had their eyes opened. For those that don't know, since Goku doesn't know how to cook, excluding him going fishing in some sort, I decided I would cook for him. Given he's a glutton for hunger, I challenged myself in serving him loads of dishes I could make. Before 144, it was just 77 bento boxes. But since he brought on students, with Levy working her inside herself, I thought why not make more than enough for everyone to enjoy, right? Right...?
"Wow, you weren't kiddin'. You just cooked a feast for an entire village, haha! You're awesome, Mira! You would make a great wife to whoever it is that might fall for you." Goku said as he was in-between the backyard door.
"Eh!?" I puffed up and began staggering like crazy. "W-Well, it's nothing, r-really. Err..." I couldn't come up with anything to say on this. He just said that so randomly. With me not coming up with anything, Lisanna was found laughing at us.
"You two sure make a fine couple, huh?" Lisanna said, wiping her tears from laughter.
"W-We're not a couple!/We're not a couple." The two of us said but in different tones.
Goku didn't care about her words in making it a big deal as I have since I got so defensive again. Then I caught Goku looking at me again. He didn't catch on, but instead laughed...
"You're so weird, Mira." He then turned to Natsu, Gray and Erza. "So, it's been a week now. How are you guys getting used to your bodies adapting to Ki? We have spent an entire week on it."
"It's still hard getting used to, Goku. But I think we can managed it." Erza replied first as she sat down. "Guess we jumped the gun when we asked you to fight us in your Super Saiyan form, huh? I was confident the three of us could take you on."
"Yeah..." Natsu continues to pant. "Ugh! Damn it! For sure, I thought I would've laid a punch on your face, man!"
"You guys kept begging me to go Super Saiyan even though I told you guys repeatedly that you couldn't even hit me in base form so what makes you think you could hit me in Super Saiyan?"
Gray flicked his tongue. "I get that you're strong, Goku, but you were holding back a lot of strength. It's annoying that we couldn't even land a hit even though we managed to learn about Ki."
"Don't worry, Gray, my love! Juvia's sure you can master Ki if you continue to train!"
"Juvia's right. You guys just learned about Ki. It's not wise to use it right away the moment you're able to gain access to it. It takes time to master it. Sometimes it could take up to a year or 2. It's not healthy to go at someone the moment you unlocked something & didn't continue to master it. That's like saying I can pass my son's college exams, and this is comin' from me, someone who doesn't like school! You can give me a million years and I still won't pass, haha!"
Goku's words were taken to heart to Natsu & the other two. Although they have just learned about Ki, he's right. By just unlocking the beginning on how to use it, it's not wise to just admit you can just do it on whim and all of a sudden be a Goku expert. Natsu & Gray, I would understand, but Erza? I'm shocked even she would think that...
"But, all in all, it's an improvement. Ki & Magic are somewhat the same, so it's no surprise you were able to learn about it in just a week's time. Talk about being fast learners, huh?"
"Argh... I guess." Natsu pouted. He crossed his arms and looked left in disappointment. He didn't want to admit it but I can tell that he knows that Goku's right. He is the expert after all. It'd be silly to doubt him. "Hmm?" He closed his eyes, sniffing at the smell that soon brought the attention to everyone else. "Damn, that smells good! What is that?" He ran inside to and spotted my bento boxes. "Holy crap! What the heck, Mira? You overdid it!"
"Haha, I know, I know." I shamelessly admit. "Um, I know all of this is supposed to be for Goku, but I admit I overdid. Like, a lot. So, feel free to eat to your heart's content, everyone!" I smiled as all of them ran to the table to help themselves to a box.
Everyone excluding Levy & Cana were digging in. It was fixing to be noon anyway, so it's fine, I supposed. There seems to be 142 boxes. Levy must've grabbed two boxes so she wouldn't work on an empty stomach. And it would seem Cana's still out. Natsu & the others were enjoying my cooking. Their faces never ceased to amaze me, really. Lisanna, too. But for Goku, he's eating way faster than the others...
"In just 10 minutes, you finished 100 bento boxes..." Lisanna's eyes were slowly shaking in surprise. "Wow, the food bill from your timeline must be outrageous."
"Hmm? Haha, it is. I don't know how I haven't gone homeless yet. But that's what my friends say, too!" Goku said as his mouth was full.
It was at this moment Lisanna decided to play cupid. She looks at me, waving her hand in telling me to come forward in trying to ask Goku out, prior to our earlier conversation. She waved her hand faster while the going is good, prompting me to just head over. But I can't ask him out! I don't know what's wrong with me here! When Lisanna realized this, she sighed. But then smirked...
"Say, Goku. Uh, how are you feeling about this timeline you're in? Are you liking it?"
"Food-wise, you know! But everything else? Nope. I've only been to the guildhall thanks to Instant Transmission and to Hisui's place to back home. I practically don't know my way around Magnolia." Goku said, placing down his chopsticks.
"Then, why not have someone tour you around, hmm? I've got the perfect person for the job!" Lisanna went behind me and scooched me up to Goku, causing me to blush harder than before. I don't know how she does it, but she's doing me a miracle. "Mira here can help you get adjusted to Magnolia. She knows ALL the good stuffs, markets and other places for you to have a good time! If you have the time, that is, Mira can help you! She wouldn't mind, right?" Lisanna looked at me.
"Eh!?" I started stammering uncontrollably.
"Really? You would do that?" Goku turned to me. "Will you take me to some good places that serve amazing food?"
"Uh... sure. I know several places, if you like to head there." I said, shyly.
"Then you've got yourself a deal, Mira!" said Goku all excited.
"Alright!" Lisanna came next to me and gave me a thumbs up, with one eye closed. "You two can meet up tomorrow at noon, 'round 1pm?"
"S-Sure." I replied.
"1 tomorrow sounds good in my book. Oh, it's 12:12." He looked at the clock on the wall. Goku finished the remaining entries of the bento boxes and finished up. "I'm late again. Hisui's gonna chew me out..." He burped, grabbed some water to drink and then headed out with Instant Transmission.
I forgot. When afternoon hits, Goku meets up with Hisui and they spent almost the entire day until evening comes. Sigh... I suppose I should let the Princess have him for now since I, well, Lisanna, managed to get me a date with Goku tomorrow. Is it a date in Goku's eyes? All he's interested in is fighting, training and food. I shouldn't overthink it since I'm just showing him around. But for the sake of it... I probably should look my best for tomorrow.
I'll try to use the time I have with him tomorrow in trying to get closer to him. Goku. If Princess Hisui does have a thing with Goku, then I'm gonna make sure I grab his attention! This is a war I cannot afford to lose! With a determined look, I'll make Goku mine! Or I'll die trying...
End of Chapter 2...
A/N: It's really nice to see materials I've already published as materials I can reused in this remake. Aside from that, I finished this chapter some time ago but had exams I had to pass so forgive me if I arrived too late. This chapter and Ch2 of the other DBSxFT should be up so without further ado, I hope all of you have a happy thanksgiving!
Later.
EDIT(12.20.21): Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
