A/N: Time for the next chapter! Thanks to my readers for your reviews, ideas, and opinions. Some of you don't want me to give Zamasu his immortality, and I think I might have to listen to you. Since he's a Supreme Kai, he's got a better chance at defeating Gohan and Trunks, unlike in DBS where the Saiyans were at God level, so he needed to be immortal or he would've been killed immediately, even by Future Trunks. Some of you also have mixed feelings about making the Fairy Tail world in Universe 10. I did that because I don't remember if Universe 10 had an earth before it was erased, so I thought Earthland could be that earth. Anyway, let's get back to the story!
Disclaimer- I own nothing
Chapter 6 -
Trunks and Chelia arrived at the guild hall a few minutes before the storm started; as they stepped inside, Trunks told his friend, "I'll catch up with you later, Chelia. I'm gonna go change." The God slayer nodded in response. "I'll be waiting with Master Ooba and the others in the main hall," she informed him before she left. Trunks left in the direction of the room that Ooba had given him. As soon as he entered, he found the clothing he wore when he fought Jura was now clean and on a dresser next to the window. Without a second thought, he changed back into his standard attire. He then realized something when it felt a little uncomfortable: the long sleeves of his jacket were too tight, most likely due to his muscles increasing in size from his training and growth in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber.
The Saiyan unsheathed his sword and held up his jacket; he cut off the sleeves up to the shoulder blades. He put his coat back on, feeling more comfortable wearing it now than he did before. (The Attire from Bojack Unbound) He looked at himself in the mirror, satisfied with the work he did on his jacket. Trunks decided to report to Ooba about what happened during the job.
He opened the door and stepped out of his room before heading toward the main hall where the rest of his guildmates were waiting. Ooba took notice of the time traveler when he appeared in the main hall. "How was the job, boy?" she asked him as he took a seat. "I was able to complete the job, but I only got 250,000 of the one million jewels," Trunks answered. Ooba stared at him. "Why is that?" she questioned. Trunks scratched the back of his head as he elucidated. "To be honest, I wasn't alone. As soon as I reached the area, someone else had already started fighting and wasn't able to continue. I just finished the job."
"Did you get his name?" Jura, who was standing beside him, inquired.
"Her," Trunks corrected him.
"She was a girl?" Sherry asked.
Trunks nodded. "Yes, and I did get her name. It was Mirajane."
All the members of Lamia Scale aside from Trunks shared a look. "Looks like the search mission was a success then," Yuka stated while sitting next to Toby. "So, Gray's back, huh? Guess I'll pay him a little visit tomorrow. Who's with me?" Lyon spoke.
"I'm in, I'm in!" Toby screamed.
"I'll come," Jura stated.
"Me too," Yuka joined in.
"Count me in!" Sherry squealed.
Trunks felt left out as the other members started talking enthusiastically about some visit. "Did I miss something?" he thought. Fortunately for him, Ooba noticed his confusion. "I think we owe our new member an explanation," she said before asking, "Trunks, did you get the guild Mirajane was in by any chance?" Trunks nodded. "I did; it was Fairy Tail," he replied. Ooba nodded back. "Fairy Tail was the number one guild in all of Fiore seven years ago. Each year, this guild held a competition in which its winner would be promoted to the rank of S-Class Wizard. Seven years ago, all of the main and strongest members went to an island named Tenrou Island to participate; however, they never returned. We started a search for them with another guild named Blue Pegasus, and eventually they found them," she explained.
"We don't know what happened to them or why they disappeared for seven years, but they'll probably tell us about it tomorrow," Lyon added.
Sherry turned to her cousin. "Are you coming, Chelia?" she questioned.
Chelia shook her head. "You may know some of the members of Fairy Tail, but I don't, so I don't see a reason to go with you guys."
Sherry pouted. "How unlovely. What about you, Trunks?" she asked in a hopeful tone.
"Sorry, but no thanks. I'm in the same boat as Chelia," Trunks replied.
"Come on, you said to us that you met Mirajane, right?" Sherry argued.
"She was unconscious I carried her to a center in the city, so I don't think she remembers me," Trunks said.
"This is going nowhere," Sherry sighed.
"Sherry, you can't force people into coming; if Chelia and Trunks don't want to go, then that's fine. They can remain in the guild with me," Ooba told her.
Jura stared at Ooba in shock. "You're not coming, master?" he questioned.
Ooba shook her head. "I have a hectic schedule this week, but I guess I can see Makarov at the meeting between guild masters," she replied.
"Who?" Trunks asked.
"He's the master of the Fairy Tail guild," Lyon explained. "I suggest we get some rest so we can start our day early tomorrow."
"I agree," Yuka stated. "Getting some rest will be good for us."
"Besides, Trunks needs to rest. He's had a busy day," Sherry said.
"I'm fine, no need to worry about me," Trunks assured.
Ooba sighed. "Trunks, you faced Jura and completed a mission, not to mention you traveled to a different city. So it's better if you take the last hours of the day to rest," she instructed the Saiyan.
Trunks nodded. "If that's what you want, I'll be leaving," he said before entering his room while the others did the same.
All of the Fairy Tail members were heading back toward the guild hall. The Nurse told them that Mirajane had sufficiently recovered her magic thanks to the rest she took and could leave the medic center. So now, Gohan was sitting on a train with the other guild members while listening to them talk about the seven years they missed while on Tenrou Island. "So, Blue Pegasus helped you find us?" Natsu asked Jet and Droy with a bored tone.
"They're probably going to visit us tomorrow," Gray added.
"Who's Blue Pegasus?" Gohan inquired.
"Blue Pegasus is one of the guilds we've worked with in the past," Erza explained.
"And according to Jet and Droy, they, along with Lamia Scale, helped them to find us," Wendy stated.
"I see," Gohan said.
"You seem to already know that we went missing for seven years," Levy noted after observing Gohan's unfazed expression from what Wendy just told him.
Gohan nodded. "And you believe us?" Lucy asked curiously, only for Gohan to nod again.
"I guess you know more about us than we thought," Erza stated with her eyes focused on Gohan.
"I actually didn't know until Wendy told me about it this morning," Gohan said.
"Well, since you know us, how about you tell us where you're from?" Levy inquired. Erza eyed Gohan cautiously as she waited for him to give an answer. The Demi Saiyan looked to the 3rd Master, earning a nod of approval from him. "You can tell them, Gohan," Makarov allowed. Gohan nodded and turned to the members who were waiting for the answer. "I know this might sound weird, but I'm not sure where I am. I used to live in a small village just outside East City," Gohan revealed. "Where is that?" Lisanna asked. "I'm not sure where that is from here, but what I know is that there are very few people who use magic where I live," Gohan said, which made everyone stare at him in surprise. "Are you serious?" Elfman questioned in disbelief.
Gohan nodded. "Instead, we use Ki."
"What's Ki?" Levy inquired.
"Ki is a tangible energy inside every living person, with its primary focus being in the center of the body. Also, Ki can be positive or negative, depending on the user. By drawing it out, an individual is able to manipulate it and use it for performances outside the body," Gohan explicated. Silence echoed momentarily as the group of Mages fully absorbed Gohan's explanation. It wasn't every day that they heard about a new source of energy independent from magic. "This Ki that you're talking about sounds very similar to magic," Erza noted, seeing the resemblance between the two energies.
"Can anyone use this Ki?" Gray asked.
"Yes, everyone can use Ki where I come from at least, though I'm not sure if mages can learn to use Ki," Gohan replied. "Besides, Ki can be molded into different shapes other than the blast."
"Would you mind showing us what Ki looks like?" Lucy questioned, believing Gohan but still doubting that his words were true. Gohan stretched out his hand and focused a small amount of Ki into it. A golden orb of light instantly appeared in his palm; everyone looked at the tiny sphere in awe. "This is Ki?" Mirajane inquired. Gohan simply nodded. "Yep, this is what Ki looks like, though the color of it does differ from person to person and from attack to attack. This is the weakest Ki blast I could form, but it still probably has enough power to wipe out this train," Gohan explained. "You'd better be careful with that thing!" Jet warned, fearfully clutching the chair. Gohan saw the uneasiness of the group and quickly got rid of the small ball of energy.
"So besides being able to destroy stuff, what else can Ki do?" the celestial mage asked, wanting to know more about this new energy.
"Good question," Gohan said as he smiled. "Ki can be used for many different techniques. It is necessary to increase one's Ki to become stronger because there are physical limits to the strength of the body itself to overcome that barrier. Usually, the more concentrated the masses of Ki are, the more time the user requires to draw it out by powering up. When people gather Ki, they are able to gain enhanced strength, speed, and endurance." All of the Fairy Tail mages were fascinated by the half Saiyan's knowledge of Ki.
"Alright, that's enough questions for today," Makarov said. "We've already reached Magnolia, so let's head to the guild." The group of mages then headed toward the guild hall with the small trip being less eventful than what was on the train.
The next day, Trunks Vegeta Briefs was sitting in his room quietly, trying to come up with an idea that will help him return home. After what felt like an eternity, he decided to leave the room and see if the others had gone yet. Slipping into his now remodeled outfit, he headed toward the door. He opened the door to find Chelia standing there with her hand up as she was about to knock on the door. "Sorry Trunks, but Ooba asked me to tell you that the others are heading out to Fairy Tail in case you decided to join them," the sky mage said.
"Sorry, but I'll sit this one out," Trunks answered.
Chelia shrugged. "I wasn't going either. I'll go inform them." With that, Chelia turned around and headed toward the guild's main hall. Trunks sighed as he sat down in the hall; doing nothing didn't appeal to him, nor was he in a mood to take a job. He quickly made his way through the random members. Just as he was about to leave the guild, someone spoke. "Where are you going Trunks?" The teen turned around to see Ooba standing behind him. "I'm going to find a quiet place to sort my thoughts out," the Saiyan replied. Ooba nodded. "You're quite the loner, aren't you, Trunks?" she observed. Trunks raised an eyebrow at that. "What gave you that idea?" he asked.
"Nothing. It's just the fact that you only seem to accept Chelia as a friend and the others just as acquaintances. Also, when we were together, you rarely joined the conversation; only to ask questions or when someone was speaking to you," Ooba stated.
Trunks rubbed the back of his neck. "It's just that I'm not really that good at making friends."
This time it was Ooba who raised her eyebrow. "You didn't have any friends back home?" she questioned.
Trunks' face turned into one of depression. "I couldn't have friends, and the only friend I ever had was killed," Trunks replied when he realized what he just said; he told Ooba before she could question him, "I'm sorry master, but I will explain everything to you when I return."
Ooba nodded. "If you're looking for a quiet place, you can head out to the mountain cliff just outside the city," she suggested.
Trunks smiled as he bowed to her. "Thank you," he said before he turned and headed toward the guild entrance; the lone warrior exited the guild and kept walking until he reached the edge of the city. When he was sure no one was following him, he took to the skies and flew toward the cliff.
It was a typical day at the Fairy Tail guild, and all of the members were catching up with each other. Gohan watched as the members that were missing for seven years were finding out how things had changed since they went for the S-class trials. Apparently, he found out that the guild was in the middle of partying; celebrating the return of their lost family members when he crash-landed outside of Magnolia. As the guildmates were chatting, Gohan got a chance to meet Laxus, Makarov's grandson, and Gildarts, Cana's father. According to Wendy, Gildarts was the strongest member of Fairy Tail. Gohan's Saiyan side was tempted to challenge him, but it took him everything he had to resist. The Son of Goku was sitting with Natsu, Happy, Gajeel, and Panterlily, who were watching Romeo show off his magic.
"I see you're rocking fire magic too, Romeo!" Natsu said.
"Watch out, world, it's getting hot up in here!" Happy cheered.
"Look, I even make cold flames!" Romeo demonstrated by holding up his hand and letting a bluish fireball. His friends watched in awe.
"That's so cool!" Gohan exclaimed.
Lily nodded. "I agree." Romeo then douses the blue fire and creates another that's purple. "And what is this one?"
"It's a purple flame that can stick to anything it's cast on," Romeo explained before he created a yellow flame that smelled terrible. "And I got this yellow one that smells like Dragon fart."
"P.U.!" Natsu cried.
Gohan quickly covered his nose, but it did little to help since his Saiyan sense of smell was more significant than a human's. "Ugh, never smelt anything like that before," he thought.
"You have a strange gift," Lily stated, which made Romeo smile.
"If you ask me, you've already outclassed your old man," said Gajeel.
The Fire Dragon Slayer seemed to be lost in thought before he said, "Hold on, I've smelt that fire before."
"Aye," Happy moaned.
"Don't tell my dad, but I've been secretly taking magic lessons from Master Totomaru," the young mage whispered to his friends.
"Get out! I didn't know he was teaching," Gajeel said while smiling.
Panterlily also smiled at his friend's happiness. "This is rare, though it's nice to see a smile on his face," the black exceed thought.
"Who's Master Totomaru?" the half Saiyan inquired.
"He's a Fire mage who was a member of Gajeel's old guild, Phantom Lord before it was disbanded," Happy answered. "He has the ability to use Rainbow Fire Magic, as well as control another person's fire. Natsu fought him years ago."
"Man, that sure takes me back. I still need to taste the rest of his colored flames," Natsu stated as he remembered his fight against Totomaru. He then started jumping with joy as he shouted, "Sweet! Fire buffet here I come!"
The rest of the Fire Dragon Slayer's friends just stared at him in pity. "Sorry, but I don't think he's too keen on seeing you, Natsu," Romeo informed him.
"Wow, shocker," Happy remarked.
"I gotta admit, Macao, I certainly didn't think you'd be willing to wear the big shoes," Makarov commented. The 3rd master, Wakaba, and Macao were currently sitting at the bar table, having a couple of drinks.
"Well, they never quite fit me. Let's just say that I was keeping them warm for ya," Macao replied. "Now that you're back, I can enjoy a stiff drink."
"Oh, and here I was thinking about letting you keep the position," Makarov said as he rubbed his mustache.
"Are you serious?!" the soon to be 4th Master asked. He started pondering about the idea of himself being the official new master of Fiore's former strongest guild. "Maybe I can drink and be master!" he said while blushing.
"Don't know if this is the best decision you've made but I think it's kinda funny," Wakaba laughed.
"Me too," Makarov snickered.
"W-WHAT?" Erza nearly screamed, getting the attention of Gohan as he turned to watch the scene unfold. "Y-Y-You guys got married?" she asked Bisca and Alzack while stuttering. "C-C-Congratulations. As incompetent as I am, I hope you think well of me. S-So, when did this happen?"
"About six years ago," Alzack answered.
"Sure wish all you guys could've been there," Bisca said. "Poor thing nearly passed out when I proposed; it was adorable."
"Did you have to bring that up?" Alzack asked embarrassedly.
For a second, the redhead did nothing but stare at the married couple before her; the next second, she was violently shaking Max in depression. "No! How could you get married without me there?!" she cried. Her friends sweatdropped at her dismay. "Could someone stop her?!" Max, who was struggling to breathe, shouted.
"Looks like Erza blew a fuse," Elfman commented.
"I can't say I blame her; I'm bummed I couldn't be there too," Mira sympathized.
"That's wonderful! Do you have children?" Lisanna asked the couple.
"We have a daughter," Bisca replied.
"Yeah, we named her Asuka," Alzack added.
Wendy Marvell was going through a hard time as well; she was shaking in depression as she stared at a piece of paper with a drawing of her on it. "Reedus, is this what I think it is?" she asked the artist.
"Oui! I tried to imagine what you would've looked like seven years older and that drawing was the end result," Reedus explained.
The drawing in the Sky mage's hands was her as a teenager; it seemed pretty accurate except for one small factor that seemed to disturb her. "M-My chest," she squeaked.
"Is there a problem?" Reedus inquired.
The three exceeds were also looking at a picture of themselves. Happy and Panterlily had incredibly muscular bodies while Carla had the figure of a woman. "Oh my, this is horrifying," Carla remarked.
"Why am I wearing a loincloth?" Lily questioned.
"You know, we were gone for a very long time," Happy stated. "I wonder if any of the other exceeds got worried about us?"
"Doubtful, exceeds have a different sense of time than humans," Lily answered. "I find it highly unlikely that our absence was even noticed."
"Oh yeah?" Happy asked.
"Well, I suppose that's comforting," Carla said.
"This isn't fair. Why does reality keep crushing my dreams like this?" Wendy asked while still looking at Reedus' drawing.
"Uh, is there something wrong with the picture? I liked it," Reedus said.
Gohan, seeing Wendy's dismay, looked at the picture. It did appear nice to him, but Wendy apparently wasn't satisfied with it, so he tried to cheer her up. "Don't feel too down, Wendy. It is a good drawing. Besides, it's not like it's definitely what you'll look like in seven years. You might end up being even prettier than you are here!"
The Demi Saiyan's words did the trick as Wendy blushed furiously but smiled at him. "T-Thank you, Gohan," she told him shyly.
Gohan smiled back with a slight blush of his own before turning away and closing his eyes; however, he had a feeling that he was being watched. He opened his eyes to see a pair of green eyes right in front of him. The surprise caused him to fall off his seat, causing a ruckus. Everyone turned to see Gohan on the floor, rubbing the back of his head. He quickly looked back to meet those green eyes again, which belonged to a girl a little older than him. "Who are you?" he inquired, getting up from the floor. "I'm sorry for scaring you like that. My name is Mavis Vermilion. I'm the first master of Fairy Tail!" the girl introduced herself. Gohan took a very good look at Master Mavis; she had very long, wavy, blonde hair that reached down to her bare feet with a single lock pointing upward, large green eyes that appeared to have no irises and a slight child-like build. She wore a frilly, pink-layered robe with a red ribbon tied in a bow around her neck. Around the chest were three blue diamond patterns with two blue triangles above. She wore wing-like adornments around her ears and small hoop earrings. "Sorry about freaking out; I didn't see you at first," Gohan apologized.
"Why are you apologizing? I'm the one who scared you. Besides, I was here since you arrived," Mavis told him.
"I don't think I saw you then," Gohan replied.
"Oh, that's because only members of Fairy Tail can see me since I'm a spirit!" Mavis explained cheerfully.
"You're a spirit?" Gohan questioned in disbelief.
"Yes, that's why I can't be seen by anyone unless they have the Fairy Tail mark stamped on them," Mavis responded. Gohan stared at the spirit in front of him in shock; not because she was a spirit, considering there were weirder things than that back at his home, but that she seemed so full of life even though she probably died this way.
"I see you have already met Gohan, first master," Makarov said as he appeared beside the Saiyan.
"I wouldn't say met. It's more like scared!" Mavis giggled.
"Gohan, this is Mavis. She is the first Master of our guild and the one who protected us seven years ago," the 3rd master explained.
"I'll be going then, I just wanted to meet the new member. Till next time, Gohan!" Gohan watched as the spirit of the Fairy Tactician floated in the air and disappeared.
Just then, the guild door suddenly opened. Five individuals stepped into the guild hall. The tallest of the group spoke out. "Wonderful! It seems the rumors were true."
"Who are these bozos?" Elfman questioned.
"I think I know them," Mira answered as she recognized their visitors.
"Hello, my lovelies! I'm glad to hear your deaths were exaggerated!" Sherry greeted, and Toby barked in agreement.
"You appear to be in great health," Jura commented.
"The sentiment's a little redundant when they haven't aged in seven years," Yuka said.
"You've barely been back two days, and you've already trashed the placed," Lyon stated.
"No way!" Gray said in surprise.
"Whoa! It's Lamia Scale!" Lucy exclaimed.
"Lamia Scale and Blue Pegasus helped us search for Tenrou Island longer than anyone else did," Max explained.
"So, they're from the Lamia Scale guild," Gohan thought.
"We appreciate it," Erza thanked them.
"Well, I guess we owe you one, man," Gray told his rival.
"I'd love to take you up on that, but I've got seven years on you now, and I'm not the kind of guy who takes advantage of children." Lyon responded with a smirk.
"Yeah, rub it in," an annoyed Gray said.
After everyone settled down, Sherry spoke up with Elfman listening/staring with great interest, much to the dismay of Evergreen. "So you see, things haven't been completely bad while you guys were taking your seven year siesta. In that time, Lamia Scale climbed the ranks to Fiore's second best guild," the mage of love explained before turning to Lucy. "No hard feelings, right, Lucy?"
"Second, huh? Is Blue Pegasus number 1 now?" Lucy inquired.
"Oh yeah, real funny!" Toby shouted as he shook around in anger."Those lame wads, they're not even skilled enough to lick the dirt off my boot! Ya hear me!"
"Here we go. Toby, you're embarrassing yourself again," Yuka told him.
"Now, Toby's wild ranting aside, we're just glad to have you back with us," Jura said as he put his hand on Gray's shoulder.
"That's right!" Toby agreed.
"What's wrong with him?" Cana asked from her usual place at the bar with a drink in her hand, taking a large sip out of her mug. She was pointing at Lyon; everyone then noticed that he was staring right at Juvia. The Water mage looked in the Ice mage's direction; he continued to gaze at the rain woman as though he was mesmerized by her appearance. In the blink of an eye, he was standing in front of Juvia with his hands on her shoulder. "I never believed in true love until now," he declared, shocking Juvia. Cana spit out her drink into Toby in shock, just enraging him once more. "Whoa! I don't think he's playing around!" Lucy gasped.
"He has no idea what he's getting himself into here," Gray stated.
Juvia started to slowly back away while shaking nervously and stuttering. "No…the love triangle… has become a… love maze!" she cried as her incomparable imagination kicked in.
"Is she always like this?" Gohan inquired.
"She has a healthy imagination," Lucy said.
"Please, it's anything but healthy," Gray argued.
The young Saiyan glanced at Gildarts; he couldn't help but chuckle at the scene in front of him. "Did you know? I found out that Cana is my daughter!" Gildarts exclaimed with a silly look on his face as he was standing next to her, getting clingy. "Cut it out! Don't get too clingy!" the Brunette said. The Ace of Fairy Tail then picked up his daughter, ignoring her discomfort. "I can't help it; now give papa some kisses!" he said as Cana pushed against his face. "You're embarrassing me; let go!" she cried.
"Can't they do it in a more dignified way?" Warren asked.
"I guess they aren't planning on keeping it a secret," Vijeeter replied.
Alzack brought up a picture of Asuka drawn by Reedus. He now had an expression on his face similar to Gildarts' a couple of moments ago. "Here she is, my precious baby girl!" he announced. Gajeel, Erza, Wendy, Gohan, and Panterlily came to look at the picture. "She's cute," Gohan observed.
"She definitely takes after you two," Wendy said.
"I agree, she kinda reminds me of Wendy in a way. Tiny and adorable," Lily remarked. Although his words were meant to be a compliment, the Sky Dragon slayer became upset from them. Gajeel face palmed as Wendy started running away, crying. "Stop picking on me!" she cried.
"Huh? What'd I say?!" the exceed called after her.
"Oh Mirajane, how are you feeling?" Jura suddenly questioned.
Mira looked confused. "What do you mean?" she asked.
"Didn't you leave a hospital yesterday?" Sherry inquired.
"How do you know that?" Mirajane asked in surprise. No one knew other than her guildmates knew and nobody told them about it or she would've heard them.
"Oh yeah, he didn't tell you. How unlovely," Sherry said.
"Who didn't tell me what?" Mirajane was getting really curious as the seconds passed. Gohan, along with the other members, were listening with interest.
"Weren't you rescued by someone?" Jura asked.
Mirajane nodded. "Don't tell me you still don't understand yet," Yuka said.
"Will you stop with the 20 questions and just spit it out already!" Cana screamed.
"It's simple. The person who saved you is a member of our guild!" Lyon stated, shocking the members of Fairy Tail.
A/N: And that's the seventh chapter. Now this is supposed to be the last chapter before the Key to the Starry Heavens arc, which I still haven't decided to do yet or not. So far only two people have voted on my poll for yes and one for no while I got one review for yes. I'd still like to get more votes before I make a decision, so please check out the poll if you're interested. I'll give it a week after this chapter is posted to decide. Thank you for your supportive reviews, and I hope to keep you all interested in this fanfic! Keep reading!
