Normal POV
Everyone was gathered in the dining hall eating breakfast, minus Igneel anyways. Lucy sat beside Natsu on the table, taking a bite out of a seemingly massive piece of toast. "Hey Luce, you got crumbs on your face." Natsu said as he stared down at the tiny blonde. A slight blush grew on her face as she wiped them off. "T-thank you." Lucy stammered. She suddenly jumped of the table, returning to her original size midair. "Finally!" Lucy smiled in victory, apparently not noticing that she was once again naked. "L-Lucy, your clothes!" Natsu exclaimed, blushing heavily while looking away from her. Lucy looked down and frowned. "I forgot that happens. I'll be right back." Lucy said as she disappeared into the shadows, impressing a certain shadow dragon slayer.

Lucy returned wearing a black skirt, a white short-sleeved button-up shirt with a skull on the right breast, and black combat boots. Her hair was held up in pigtails, with a skull clip holding her bangs out of her face. "Now then, down to business. Other than Natsu, who's going to become a student of the DWMA?" Lucy asked. "I think it would be best if we only sent in a small group, to many people would cause suspicion to rise within the school." Freed said. "Actually, the new school year starts in two weeks, so a large group of new students would be completely normal. Surprisingly the number of weapons has grown over the last few decades, so we get at least a hundred new students per year. Most of the new students are wannabe meisters who can't handle the strains of our physical exams, and often drop out during their first year. Obviously any of you could handle that, if anything I'd worry about the mental strain. Being a student of the DWMA means you'd be hunting kishin eggs, which means you'll be part of a nonstop battle against the madness. At the same it would also help build endurance for when we go back to Earthland. If Asura is on the move, than the madness is going to spread, reaching levels so extreme that even demons won't be able to fight back." Lucy said with a dark look on her face. "But other than that you have nothing to worry about! So who's in?" Lucy asked, a mischievous grin plastered on her face.

After two weeks of studying and training, they had decided who was going to the DWMA. Lucy, Team Natsu, Wendy, Juvia, Gajeel, Levy, Laxus, Freed, Sting, Rogue and Yukino stood in one of the larger gardens, all wearing completely different attire. The women in the group wore black skirts, white short-sleeved dress shirts, black or white stockings of different lengths, and simple black shoes. The men wore black pants and similar shirts, with brown shoes. Some wore ties, or in Natsu's case, his signature scarf. Levy wore a black bandana with a skull attached to it, while Gajeel wore a similar one, just without the skull. Erza wore a pair of red framed glasses, as for the reason why no one knew for sure. Juvia had a skull hairpin in the place of her hat. And as for Lucy, she wore her usual Spartoi coat over her current outfit, the skull clip long gone. "Let me go over this one more time. You are not allowed to use magic without my, a teacher, Death Scythe or a member of Spartoi's permission. This rule especially applies when on school grounds or heavily populated areas. The exceeds are not allowed to come with. And above all else, do NOT tell anyone what you really are or where you came from!" Lucy said. As the portal opened Lucy turned and grinned at the group. "And one more thing, try not to kill anyone."

The group stood in the forest not far from the school, just enough distance that no one would notice and close enough that they didn't have to walk far. Lucy had come back the week before to tell Lord Death the plan, and then gathered the supplies needed. As they came to the front of the building Gray let out a whistle. "That's a lot of stairs." Lisanna breathed. "Well how else do you think we have our students build muscle? Welcome to your first day at the DWMA. Here's your first assignment: Reach the top without the use of magic." Lucy said as she jumped up in the air, a skateboard appearing beneath her feet. "Now if you'll excuse me, I have some work to do before classes start. Don't be late!" Lucy said as she flew off, waving as she went. "Isn't that cheating?" Gray asked.

"No, she only said 'Without the use of magic.' Any Reaper can do that." A voice said. A girl with shoulder length pink hair walked up to them. The group suddenly tensed up, panicked looks on their faces. "You don't have to worry about me telling your little secret, so loosen up. I'm Kim, and I'm what most people in this world would consider a witch. Not that anyone else knows that. But in all technicality I'm a mage born in the wrong world." Kim said with a grin. "Kim, we're going to be late for the meeting!" Another voice exclaimed. Looking down the group realized that Kim had a lantern attached to her arm. "Oh, right! This is Jackie, my weapon partner. We gotta go, but I have a feeling we'll be seeing you all again real soon." Kim said. "And why's that?" Laxus asked. "You'll see. Nice meeting ya!" Kim cheered, waving as she made her way up the stairs. "Well there's no point in standing around. We have classes to be at!" Erza said as she ran up the steps, the others following soon after.

After running up seemingly endless stairs, the group made in to the top, eyes wide at the sight before them. But then again, who could blame them? "Are we sure this is a school?" Gray asked. "Sure it is Ice-princess! The place was started by a Grim Reaper, what did you expect?" Natsu asked, not even noticing the dumbfounded looks he was getting. "He does have a point though..." Lisanna said. "Hey look Tsubaki, it's the new guys! Why don't we show em' how awesome we are?" A distant voice shouted, followed by the sound of a loud thud. "Hey, isn't that...what was his name again?" Natsu asked. A blue-haired boy emerged from the crack in front of the group, walking up to Natsu. "I'm Black*Star, the guy who's gonna surpass god!" He glared. "Calm down Black*Star, he didn't mean any harm. Besides, we've only seen them once or twice before." The chain scythe in Black*Star's hand said, before transforming into a tall woman. "Sorry about that. My name's Tsubaki, Black*Star's weapon partner." The woman said. "It's alright, we deal with this sort of thing all the time. I'm Erza. By any chance do you know where the Crescent Moon classroom is?" Erza asked, shaking Tsubaki's hand. "Sure thing! Looks like you'll be in the same class as us this year. Follow me." Tsubaki said. After a few minutes the group stood in front of a door. Tsubaki turned to face them with a smile. "Now wait here until you're called in. We have some things to take care of, but see you in class!" She said as she made her way down the hall, Black*Star in tow.

Inside Class Crescent Moon, Normal POV
"This year we have some new students joining the EAT class, come on in." Stein said. Twelve people came into the room. "Introduce yourselves." The red-head spoke first. "I'm Erza Scarlet, let's all get along." Next was the large blonde. "My name's Laxus Dreyar." He said, his arms crossed over his chest. "My name is Freed Justine, it's a pleasure." "Gray Fullbuster." "My name's Lisanna Strauss. It's nice to meet you!" Lisanna said with a wave. "Juvia Lockser. Juvia would love to make new friends." Juvia said with a bow. "Rogue Cheney." "Sting Eucliffe." "Yukino Aguria, it's a pleasure." "Levy McGarden." "Gajeel Redfox." "Wendy Marvel, I'd love to make some friends!" Wendy said with a bow. "I'm Natsu Dragneel!" Natsu said with a grin.

"That's everybody. Now then, today the teachers have a meeting so first period is free study." Stein said as he wheeled out on his chair, crashing once along the way. "Okay then..." Gray sighed. "I guess we should find seats then?" Yukino suggested. Luckily there were a few rows where they could sit together. "What should we do?" Wendy asked. Before anyone could reply a pink-haired boy walked over. "M-my name's Crona. Sorry about attacking you before." He said, holding his shoulder. A black...thing...came out of Crona's back, forming a little person. "Crona you idiot you're not supposed to apologize to your enemies!" It said as it hit Crona. "Ow, knock it off! Maka said that these guys are Lucy's friends and that they aren't here to attack! Ragnarok stop hitting me it hurts!" Crona exclaimed. The two continued to argue, the other students not bothered by the routine. Natsu walked over to the pair and hit Ragnarok over the head, effectively stopping the demon sword's attack.

"Wow is he attached to you? That's so cool!" Natsu said as he poked Ragnarok. "Hey! Knock it off Pinkie!" Ragnarok shouted. "That's not something you see every day..." Wendy said. It was at that moment that the door burst open, revealing a blue man. "He's a zombie!" Yukino exclaimed, cowering behind Sting. "Yo Sid, what's up?" One of the students asked. The zombie, who the mages now knew was named Sid; was leaning on the door frame for support, panting heavily. "We're under attack by witches!" He exclaimed. "All students are to help evacuate the any civilians within a two mile radius! Crona and the newbies follow me!" He ordered not wasting any time waiting for the students.

Crona and the mages followed Sid as he ran through the halls, dodging explosions as they went. "What the hell's going on here?!" Gajeel exclaimed. Before anyone could answer something burst through the wall in front of them, leaving a small crater in the floor. "Oh, hey guys! Glad you could join the party!" Kim exclaimed as she dusted herself off. Another figure crashed through the wall, landing beside Sid. "Killik!" Jackie exclaimed in weapon form. "I'm fine! Have you seen Thunder?" Killik asked, searching the area. "You looking for her?" Laxus asked. Thunder was perched on his shoulder. "I've never seen her get attached to someone she just met like that before. Nor Fire." Kim said, pointing at Fire, who was sitting on Natsu's head. "Oh trust me, it makes sense to us." Lisanna said. "Why's that?" Killik asked curiously. "Well-" Lisanna's response was cut short, due to another figure bursting through the walls. "Lucy?!" They exclaimed, said person standing up and grinning. "The one and only! It seems you've met Killik and Kim." Lucy said. "Fire! Thunder! You can play later, we've got work to do!" Killik shouted. The twins nodded and transformed into gauntlets on Killik's fists. He jumped out of one of the holes and disappeared.

Another series of explosions ran out through the school, followed by screams. "Luce, is that...?" Natsu trailed off, his eyes widening when Lucy nodded. "What is it?" Erza demanded. "We just lost some of our own. Sid, call dad. We're going all out. Kim, take Wendy and heal as many as you can. Freed and Levy, I need you to make a barrier to act as an safe-point. Laxus and Gajeel, you're their back up. Natsu, you're with me. Everyone else..." With a swipe of Lucy's hand they were wearing their normal clothes. Erza re-quipped her armor. "Spread out and take out the enemy, help the students to the safe-point. You can use magic. At this point it's to risky to pull our punches." Lucy said with a glare on her face. "Now let's move out!"
