Hey guys Here is the third chapter! Not much to be said, but it does have a bit of action! I hope I did it right. My first time writing fight scenes. Along with that, plenty of character development was done as well. Now for reviews!
Two people so far want the triple pairing of YusukeXErzaxMira. Anyone else? If so then I'll comply and start writing it out like that. Actually I've already started on that.
Potential unleashed! He won't have that. Otherwise, Yusuke will be too powerful then. Just look at Gohan. Even if he did stop training for 7 years. RIP Teen Gohan. I actually haven't looked at that new transformation in the game considering I didn't get the DLC 3 pack. So I looked up on Youtube to check it out. Pretty neat, I love the white aura. But again, Yusuke won't be having his potential unlocked. Elder Kai is a mentor, and Yusuke was only trained by the mentors I said last chapter. Besides, Yusuke is a full-blooded Saiyan as well as Goku and Vegeta. They didn't ask the Elder Kai to unlock theirs. Not sure if they had any actually, from what I've heard they're already at their potential or something Being pure-blooded. And while we're at that, it's cheating for them. Well, that's how I see it.
I'm still constructing a moveset for Yusuke, and a reviewer suggested I have one of Nuova Shenron's fire attacks as one of them in order to help Natsu. I might? While I have both DLC pack 1 and 2, I kinda made it so that they didn't...uh, "exist" yet in this fic? Same thing would apply for the Bardock saga too. So not sure if I'll include anything from the DLCs.
Obviously though, the Kamehameha is definitely one of Yusuke's skill.
A guest asked if I read the DBZ/FT Xover fic "Escalation." I have not. if I have the time however, I'll try it out.
Elvisfonz23: Your reviews on both chapters brings me great joy and motivation. I'm really really glad you're enjoying my fic so far!
Anyway, enough of that. Onwards to the story!
(3rd Person POV)
Over at the bar, the newest member of Fairy Tail was happily eating away the dish of meat that Mira cooked for him. Seems like he hasn't eaten in a weeks.
Away from the bar, a few individuals were eyeing him interestingly. Especially by a certain fire dragon slayer.
"Wow...he sure eats a lot doesn't he? He must've been hungry." Lucy said.
"You think he likes fish?" Happy asked.
"I gotta fight him! If Erza wanted him to join the guild then he has to be strong!" Natsu exclaimed.
"Don't kid yourself flame brain, if that's true then there's no way you'll be able to win." Gray said, unconsciously taking off his shirt.
"What was that popsicle?! You think you can do better?!" Natsu countered.
"Haa..?! We both know I'm stronger than you! I got the better chance of taking him on!" Gray exclaimed.
Natsu and Gray glared at each other for a few more seconds. Then they both sprinted to the bar to where Yusuke, Erza, and Mira were at.
"Looks like those two are at it again..." Lucy sweatdropped.
"Aye..." Happy said.
They both followed Gray and Natsu.
"...like I said before, it's gonna be an adventure!" Yusuke said while reaching for another piece of meat.
"And like I said before...we will be facing dangerous mages Yusuke. Bandits are one thing, but these criminals are at another level." Erza chided.
"Hmm, from what I hear so far she may have a point Yusuke..." Mira was behind the counter cleaning a few mugs and cups.
"Oh come on! Not you too Mira! I was convinced to join this guild because of adventures! And I can already tell this is gonna be an exciting one!" Yusuke said while stuffing his mouth. Because of this Erza smacked him in the back of the head. "Ow! What the hell?!"
"Speak with your mouth closed! It's rude and disgusting while you do that!" Erza scolded.
"Yeah yeah whatever," Yusuke just waved her off giving Erza a tick mark. "So again, ca-"
*BOOM!*
Natsu and Gray came tumbling over and broke a stool.
"Ah! Get off me ya stripper!" Natsu shouted.
"Shut up! Ash breath!" Gray shouted back while standing up. Natsu stood up not a moment later.
"Yusuke fight me!" Both said at the same time. Natsu and Gray looked and snarled at each other.
"Fight me!" Natsu said pointing to himself.
"No, me!" Gray said while gesturing the same thing.
"Uhh...why?" Yusuke said with an eyebrow raised.
"Ain't it obvious?! Erza wanted you in the guild so you gotta be strong!" Natsu explained.
"Yeah, but flame-brain over here ain't worth your time. So the both of us should definitely fight." Gray said smirking.
"Argh! I'm way stronger than ice-princess here! Fight me!" Natsu said angrily.
"W-Well..." Yusuke said sweating a bit.
"Wait," Everybody looked over to Erza. She smiled bit while looking over to the three boys. "Yusuke. You wish to accompany us tomorrow? Fight them both. I will evaluate how you do and determine if you are able."
"What?! I gotta fight with stripper over here?!" Natsu shouted pointing at Gray.
"Hell no! I ain't tagging up with flame brain!" Gray shouted while pointing at Natsu.
One glare from Erza shut them both up. Erza looked back at Yusuke, who was looking at the now empty plate, with a smirk on her face. "Will you accept?"
Mira was looking at the whole scene in front of her with a smile on her face, but she had a bit of a worried expression. It seemed Yusuke has been through a bit today. She hoped he'd decline the offer for his own safety.
Erza also hoped he'd decline as well so he'd stay put. But even if he did accept, she's almost certain that he'll be defeated. As harsh as that sounds for her, she thought it was the best for him. This kind of adventure was not for him she thought.
"Sure." Yusuke smirked. Mira's and Erza's face fell. Natsu and Gray grinned.
"V-Very well then..." Erza said frowning a bit.
"Alright! I'm all fired up! I'm gonna be the one to win this match!" Natsu shouted raising both of his fists up in the air.
"Like hell you will! I'll be the one on top this time!" Gray smirked.
Both the dragon slayer and ice mage then started running out to the back of the guild to an open clearing. Just then, Lucy and Happy came over.
"Did you accept...?" Lucy asked Yusuke. He nodded. 'Poor guy...'
"Fight! Fight! Fight!" Happy exclaimed. He flew past everyone inside and headed outside. The members reacted to this.
"Wait, who's fighting?"
"Both Gray and Natsu ran out, maybe it's them!"
"Let's go check it out!"
Almost everyone including Lucy started to head outside leaving Yusuke, Mira, and Erza at the bar.
"Well, meet ya there! This time I'll be on guard! Hahaha!" Yusuke laughed and headed to where everyone else was at. Leaving Mira and Erza alone.
"Erza..." Mira frowned at her.
"I know! I know! I thought for sure he'd refuse it..." Erza exclaimed then narrowed her eyes. "You felt him too right? He's got no magical signature. I couldn't sense anything on him while we traveled either."
"Yes. I did...not much we can do about it now..." Mira sighed and placed her towel on the counter of the bar. "Let's go and hope he doesn't get too hurt..."
"Y-Yeah..."
Mira walked out behind the bar and Erza got up from her stool to meet with everyone else.
The members of Fairy Tail were looking at the grassy clearing behind the guildhall. They could see Natsu and Gray near each other on one side. On the other side was Yusuke with a smile on his face.
"The new guy is facing both Natsu and Gray?!" Wakaba exclaimed.
"Ah poor kid, betcha 200 jewels he won't last five seconds." Macao offered to Wakaba.
"Hah! Bet you 400 that he'll last ten!" Wakaba countered.
"Ten seconds eh...?" Macao thought.
"This guy has guts! I'll bet you both 1000 jewels that he can last a minute against them!" Cana said to both of them.
"You're on!" Both accepted her offer
"Might as well arrange his funeral...Natsu and Gray are pretty destructive." One member said.
"I feel rather sorry him..." Lucy said. Happy was floating beside her.
Erza walked out from the crowds to the field to observe and referee the fight. Mira stood in front of the crowds with a blank expression, but she did look worried.
"...Get ready," Erza called out to them. Natsu and Gray both got into fighting positions. The dragon slayer took a posture ready to lunge at his opponent and the ice mage had his right fist over the palm of his left hand. Yusuke spread apart his legs to the sides, crouching a little with both his fisted arms in front of him. "Fight!"
Natsu took off first towards Yusuke and ignited his hands with fire.
FIRE DRAGON'S IRON FIST!
Natsu used his fire coated right hand to punch him in the face. Yusuke's left foot stepped out a bit as a support and used his left forearm to where Natsu's punch would be, and blocked it.
"Heh, not bad, but I'm just getting started!" Natsu used both of his fists that were still covered in flames and started a flurry of punches at Yusuke, who was blocking all of them with both of his arms. Seeing this, the fire dragon slayer got a bit annoyed and decided to change it up. He jumped back and leaped in the air.
FIRE DRAGON'S FLAME ELBOW!
Natsu propelled at Yusuke with his fist ready and elbow ignited with fire, aiming at his head. He went at a fast speed from the look of the spectators. Just when they think Natsu got him, Yusuke brought up his right hand above his head and caught Natsu's fist, stopping him. He spun him a couple of times and threw him back to where Gray was. Members from the guild at this point were looking at the battle with wide-eyed expression. Lucy, Happy, Mira, and Erza included.
"Whoa he's good, Natsu couldn't hurt him." One said.
"Hehe, looks like we're gonna reach a minute boys!" Cana smirked at both Wakaba and Macao, who were starting to sweat.
"Well Gray's still there, he might finish things up now!" Macao said. Gray was getting ready to cast a spell while Natsu got up.
"Dammit! I couldn't land a single punch!" Natsu spat.
"See flame brain? Told you I'll be better." Gray boasted. Natsu looked irritated by him.
"Well let's see if you do any better right now!" Natsu challenged.
"Heh, with pleasure!" Gray announced. The temperature dropped a bit and a fog was coming out from hiss hands.
ICE MAKE: LANCE!
Gray brought out his hands forward to Yusuke and spears of ice started racing towards him. Just when the lances were about to reach him, Yusuke simply side stepped, avoiding the attack.
"Tch, alright try this one on for size!" Gray readied another spell.
ICE MAKE: SAUCER!
A total of 5 flying discs were made and was flying towards Yusuke. He smirked and with both of his arms ready, he slashed sideways at each of the saucers, shattering them.
"What?!" Gray said surprisingly.
"See! You couldn't do squat!" Natsu shouted at him.
"It's already over a minute boys, what do ya think?" Cana said, her grin widening.
'W-Wait! Surely we can work something out!" Macao said.
"Y-Yeah! How about the first side to win!" Wakaba said, trying to help his friend.
"Hmm...fine. I get the new guy. 3000 Jewels!" Cana said with her hands on her hips.
"Deal!" Both replied almost immediately.
"Natsu! Gray! I think both of you should try again! At the same time!" Macao shouted to them.
Natsu and Gray begrudgingly grunted to each other. They both charged, Natsu gaining the lead and leaped, igniting whole body on fire.
FIRE DRAGON'S SWORD HORN!
Natsu's whole body started twirling, aiming at Yusuke. His attack was even faster when he used his elbow before. But with Yusuke, it just wasn't fast enough. Once again, just when Natsu thought he was about to collide into him, Yusuke hopped, hovering just above the dragon slayer's back with his left foot being the closest in distance, and used his energy to bring his body down, with his left foot stepping on Natsu's back. In the next instant, dirt was beneath the dragon slayer.
ICE MAKE: ICE-CANNON!
In Gray's hands was a bazooka. He fired and a large ball of ice that was streaming towards Yusuke. He jumped high into the air to avoid the attack, passing below him and just above Natsu.
"You can't dodge in mid-air!" Gray pointed out.
ICE MAKE: LANCE!
A flurry or lances made out of ice shot towards in the air. Yusuke crossed both of his arms in front of his face, and took the attack head on. it pushed him back a bit while in the air, and he used the momentum to do a backwards somersault and landed on the ground with his feet firmly. Gray inspected him closer and gasped as his attack didn't make any new scratches on him.
"Alright, you're really getting on my freakin' nerves!" Natsu shouted at Yusuke as he got up from the ground. Veins popped out of his forehead showing his annoyance. Natsu breathed in deeply and his cheeks puffed out.
FIRE DRAGON'S ROAR!
A huge torrent of flames came out of Natsu's mouth, aimed at Yusuke. The next thing everyone present saw were smoke, dirt and rocks where Yusuke was standing.
"Whoa did he get him?"
"That looked liked it hurt…"
"He'll probably have scars marked after that…"
"Hehehe, get them Jewels ready Cana!" Wakaba chuckled. Cana was visibly sweating.
Erza narrowed her eyes while watching. So far for her, Yusuke was putting up a bit, she really didn't think he'd last this long against Natsu and Gray. But all she saw in her eyes were dodges and reflexes coming from Yusuke. He didn't really attack the both of them that much besides Natsu. All that said to her that he's agile and sharp. She continued watching with her arms crossed.
Mira watched on with a frown on her mouth at Natsu's last attack. The collision was a bit destructive. She could feel the heat coming from the attack and hoped Yusuke was mostly alright.
As the smoke cleared, what everyone else saw next had their eyes widened and mouth agape. A gray colored cape on fire was floating down to the ground, slowly burning into ashes. Yusuke was nowhere to be seen in the surrounding area...
A moment of silence passed by as everyone was trying to process what they're seeing at the battlefield. Gray broke the silence.
"Way to go flame-brain! You killed him!" Gray shouted.
"Shut the hell up stripper! The power I put into that attack shouldn't have! It was only enough to put him out!" Natsu shouted back at him. Though his voice was a bit shaky.
"Well congratulations! You just did!" Gray pointed out.
Whispers broke out in the crowd of what they're seeing. Mira, Lucy, and Happy had a look of horror with their mouths covered by their hands and Erza was clenching her fists with her teeth gritted.
'Me and my mouth…! I don't see Yusuke anywhere at all!' Erza thought while frantically looking around the field.
On top of of the Fairy Tail guild hall, a capeless figure was standing on the roof with his arms crossed. Unscathed. Well except for a certain part of his clothing.
"Ah there goes my cape...I didn't need it anyway. And it was pretty torn already when I fought Demigra and Trunks that time…" Yusuke frowned while looking down. Natsu and Gray were carefully walking towards the spot where Yusuke was last standing on. Looking over at the spectators they were in a bit of a panic. "I shouldn't worry them any longer."
Yusuke uncrossed his arms and quickly phased out from the roof.
(Yusuke's POV)
I phased in right behind them as they worriedly looked at the burnt spot where I last stood on, with my cape continuing to burn. Honestly, that cape just gets in the way. Didn't know why I still wore it until now. I guess I wanted to look flashy.
Gray was on my left and Natsu was on my right. I quickly grabbed Gray's right arm with my left hand and Natsu's left arm with my right hand. They flinched as I made contact and snapped their heads to my direction with a shocked expression. I smirked.
"Sup." I pulled their arms towards me as I stepped back and twisted my body to face where the crowd was. I could see that almost all of their expressions were the same as Natsu's and Gray's. While twisting my body, Gray came to my new left side and Natsu on my right, I let go of my grip on both of them. They were tossed a few yards away from me, still being in the middle.
"You're gonna have to pay for that cape y'know. It was pretty damn expensive." I said while turning my head to the right at Natsu with my arms crossed. That was a complete lie. Almost every Time Patroller was given the same uniforms of their desired color. Mine was definitely no different.
"What the hell man?! You had me scared there after I attacked you!" Natsu shouted at me.
"Yeah! Not cool dude. We wouldn't have been able to live that down, especially with someone so new!" Gray said.
"Well I'm fine now! How bout we continue this? Or I'll end it now?" I said to the both of them. They narrowed their eyes, and then charged at me.
ICE MAKE: SWORD!
I saw Gray making an ice sword and holding it in both of his hands. While he was still charging me I saw Natsu having his hands lit on fire again.
'is he going to try punching me again…?' I thought. Both of them were closing in on me now.
FIRE DRAGON'S CRUSHING FANG!
Natsu had his hand opened and began to swipe down at me.
"Haaaahh!" On my left Gray brought up his sword over his head and was about to slash down at me. I brought out both of my hands towards them.
*SLASH*
*GRAB*
*SWIPE*
*GRAB*
"Huh?!" Both exclaimed out loud, their eyes wide again. I caught Gray's large ice sword with my left hand. I closed my hand, and shattered it in two. I had Natsu's wrist caught by my right hand. I lifted Natsu up once and quickly brought him down to the ground with little strength held back as possible. His back collided with the ground and he grunted in pain.
Releasing my hold on Natsu I kneed Gray in the stomach with the smallest strength I could muster. He had saliva coming out of his mouth and bent down. I think some of his saliva went on Natsu. Shit, sorry dude. I chopped Gray in the back of the neck, rendering him unconscious. I grabbed his shoulders and gently put him on the ground.
At that point Natsu got up and charged behind me. I spun around and once again, with the same strength I used against Gray, punched Natsu in the stomach. Saliva came out his mouth as well, and just with Gray he bent down and I quickly chopped him behind his neck through his scarf, rendering him unconscious as well. I grabbed the white scarf behind him and hoisted him up over my right shoulder. I went to Gray and grabbed him by the waist with my arm wrapped around his waist.
I started to walk back towards the crowd and when I saw, they were running towards us. With Erza leading them. With a stern glare. That was looking right at me. And I don't think she has any intention of slowing down.
I was right.
I quickly phased out just as she was about to grab me and appeared right behind the crowd.
"Where did he go?!" I heard her shouting. Oh boy is she pissed. What did I do?
"I'm right here Erza...not a smart move to charge at me when I'm carrying two people…" I said deadpanned.
"Natsu…!" Lucy and a blue cat with wings came running over to me. They were both worried about their pink-haired friend I had over my shoulder.
"Don't worry little guy, he's fine. Just knocked him out is all." I said.
"See Happy? There's nothing to worry about, they'll be okay." Mira walked up and comforted them. Happy? Is that this cat's name? Neat, I guess.
"You think he'll get better if I gave him some fish?" I laughed when I heard him say that. He's a cat after all. Reminds me of Korin.
"You have a place where I can set these two Mira? They should wake up soon." I asked her.
"We have an infirmary inside, I can take you there." She said smiling at me.
We headed back inside the guild with the crowd following. Amongst the crowd I could feel eyes of awe and confusion looking at me. But I think one person had a glare directed at me. Was that Erza? Most likely.
In the infirmary I placed Natsu and Gray in separate beds. Both were still unconscious. Though they should be up in a couple of hours. I started to head out of the infirmary when Mira stopped and talked to me.
"I'm glad you're alright. I was pretty worried when I didn't see you when dust cleared up."
"Ahaha! It'll take more than that to take me down." I said while rubbing the bottom of nose with my fingers.
"But I appreciate the concern Mira, so thanks!" I said while smiling. She blushed a bit at this.
"Well you certainly put up quite the fight out there! Even I was impressed when you fought against those two. But...how did bandits get the jump on you?" Mira wondered. I panicked a bit. I tend to lose myself in any sort of battles. Ah the genes of a Saiyan.
"Ehe...anything can happen when you let your guard down for a second…" I said sheepishly. She hummed at this. "Anyway, I gotta go see Erza. She did say she can help me find somewhere to live."
"O-Oh...well okay then. If you need anything else don't hesitate to ask! You're part of the family now! We'll be happy to help!" Mira happily said, smiling brightly. Seeing and hearing that however, made my heart beat faster for a moment.
'Heh...must be my imagination….but, family eh? Sounds nice…' I thought solemnly to myself.
"I know! How about after you get your apartment, if you have time you can come back to the guild and I can help you get some new clothes and other things as well!" Mira suggested to me.
I looked at her surprisingly. She really is too kind. She fed me for free and now she's offering this to help me as well.
"A-Are you sure? You've already given me free food, I wouldn't want to intrude on you..."
"Nonsense! I'd love to help! You just hurry on and get your living problems out of the way and then we can go shopping when you come back!"
I couldn't help but smile at her and at my luck. These people are really nice.
"Thanks a lot Mira, I'll definitely make it up to you in later."
"Ufufu, think of it as two favors!"
I walked out of the infirmary that was on the second floor. I walked down to the main floor with Mira behind me. All of a sudden my cheeks felt something.
"Huh?' I looked over to my right and saw Erza wincing. and shaking her armored right hand profusely.
"Uhh...you alright there Erza?" I asked. She blinked a couple of times and then glared at me. Uh oh. She grabbed a hold the collar of my jacket. Her eyes bore into my mine. What she did next would have me remembering it until the day I grow old.
"Just what were you thinking almost getting yourself killed like that?! Do you realize how much guilt I might have felt if you were more than just injured?!" Erza screamed at the top of her lungs. The whole guild fell silent. She let go my jacket and kept her glare at me. But tears were almost at the corner of her eyes.
"I-I'm sorry Erza...I didn't mean to scare you and some other people like that...But hey! I'm still up and kickin' aren't I!" I said trying to comfort her. A few chuckled at this and I heard Mira giggling behind me. Erza blinked a few times and inhaled deeply. She sighed deeply and looked at me again.
"Yes. You are Yusuke. For that...I am glad you're safe," She said. "Come. We must find you an apartment before the day is over."
She started heading out of the guild and I followed after.
'If I take Beerus' sphere head on however...' I shivered while thinking about that.
(3rd Person POV)
Everybody watched as the two headed out of the guild. Just after they left, noise broke out once again.
"The new guy was pretty awesome out there wasn't he?"
"I'll say! He put those two troublemakers out quickly!"
"He looked liked he hardly broke a sweat."
"Alright boys, empty out your pockets!" Cana said grinning widely, hands out towards Macao and Wakaba.
"Damn…" Macao reached into his pocket and handed the money to Cana.
"That kid sure is something though. Managing to knock them out in a couple of hits." Wakaba said, also giving Cana her winning money.
"Heh, he sure was. If he ever fights in a match again I'm definitely gonna bet on him again!" Cana counted the Jewels in her hands and happily went over to the bar. "Mira! Drinks please!"
Mira sighed in content and went over to the bar. "Coming!"
Mira was equally impressed with the performance Yusuke put up against Natsu and Gray. It didn't even look like he was trying as well.
'Yusuke Yasai...you're an interesting individual.' Mira thought while having a faint blush on her cheeks. Her thoughts went back to what Erza and the rest had to do tomorrow.
"Oh Lucy! Can you come over here for a moment!" Mira waved over at her.
Erza and Yusuke were walking through a part in Magnolia heading to a set of apartment buildings, which wasn't far from the guild. It was past noon now. While they were walking, Yusuke thought it'd be a good time to bring the fight up.
"...So I did good right?" Yusuke asked her.
"Hm?"
"Uh, when I fought those two. You said that you'd evaluate me if I'm able to handle myself. So I passed with flying colors right?" Yusuke asked cheerfully while putting out his arms. Erza couldn't help but chuckle at his antics.
"With what I saw, yes, you are capable of handling yourself. But it makes me wonder how bandits got to you."
"Like I said before...my gu-"
"Yes, you're guard was down back at the forest."
"Uh, yeah. So, I can come with you guys right? I can just smell the adventure!"
"..."
"Oh come on Erza, you still can't really be thinking of denying me that right?"
"I don't doubt your abilities Yusuke. But it's dark guild mages we'll be facing. All of them criminals and one of them who happens to kill for money and is quite dangerous. The fight with Natsu and Gray was nothing but a spar at most. It's not going to be fun. But…"
"...But?" She turned to look at him with a hardened face.
"You can come along with us."
"Awesome!"
"But promise me that you'll stay close to me and do everything that I say!" She exclaimed. Yusuke jumped a little, but nodded regardless. "Good. Now, let's find you a place to stay."
They turned around a corner of the street that looked mildly busy. Most of the street are buildings at least three stories tall. Men and women in business suits were with other people talking. A woman in a red business suit came up to us. She had a red blazer, with a white blouse underneath, red skirt, white heels, and had black stockings on her legs. She had brown, mid-back length wavy hair. Her brown eyes blinked a couple of times when she came up.
She glanced over at Yusuke and his torn clothes. But didn't comment on it.
"Hi! Are you two here to look for an apartment?" She asked.
"Uh, just for me actually. She's just here to guide me." Yusuke said.
"I heard about your advertisement of having your first month free when renting here. I presume that is correct?" Erza asked.
"Mhm! You heard right Miss Erza! Why don't we get started!" The agent said.
"Uh, can you show us the closest one you have available? I recently joined Fairy Tail and hoping to be as close as possible." Yusuke asked.
"Of course! Follow me please!"
"The second floor here in this building is the closest place possibly available. You'll have a simple living room when you walk in, over there is a small kitchen with an oven, microwave and fridge. Next to the kitchen you'll have a bathroom. To the other side of the living room, there are two bedrooms!" The agent explained.
"Cool, how much a month?" Yusuke asked.
"This place goes for 90000 Jewels per month. But seeing how you're a member from Fairy Tail, I can bump ya down to 80000 Jewels a month!" She explained and winked at me.
"Hey that's neat! One more question, about furnishing, I'm gonna have to buy some separately right?"
"Yep! But luckily we're able to provide them for you! You'll pay for them when your first rent is due. With another discount. I'll go and grab my binder of all the necessities you'll need!" She then walked out of the apartment.
"...I don't know if I got a good deal or not." Yusuke said.
"It's spacious for a single person, about ten minutes of walking from the guild, and yes, it is a good deal. I did not think they would oblige on giving you a discount." Erza said. "I, on the other hand, have to pay 500,000 jewels each rent."
"Whoa...where do You live then?"
"Fairy Hills, it's at the hill near east of the guildhall."
"...and it's 500,000 Jewels for one person?"
"Only for me, due to me renting 5 rooms."
"What in the world do you need 5 rooms for...?"
"Hmm...Armors, Weapons, leftover books..."
"Armors and weapons?"
"Yes, I don't have enough room in my pocket dimension to hold all of them, so I rent out rooms to put them in."
"Pocket dimension...?"
"My magic is Re-Quiping," Erza brought out her hand and a sword instantly appeared and she grabbed hold of it. "I have a dimension all for myself where I store anything I need."
"Whoa that's pretty awesome. Useful too!" A bit of red dusted her cheeks as Yusuke complimented her.
"Thank you..."
"Heh, no biggie. But I should be thank you by the way with all the help. You and your guild are pretty generous."
"It's nothing. We help out as much as we can. It's what Fairy Tail does after all."
Erza fidgeted a bit before saying something else. She put her sword back.
"If you like...I'd like to show you one of my favorite places after this. It...involves sweets."
"Where at exactly?"
"It's a local bakery not too far from here."
"Heh, you treatin' me to food this time?"
"I...don't mind."
"Sure! It's a date then."
"D-Date?!" She blushed at the proclamation.
"Eheh...if you want to see it like that way. I see free food."
"R-Right…" For some reason, Erza was a bit disappointed when he said that.
Just then the agent came back with a binder under her arms.
"Let's get this started shall we?" She chippered.
"Hey this is pretty good cake!" Yusuke said while eating a slice of strawberry cheesecake Erza got for him.
"Mm. I figured you'd love it. Anyone who disagrees will be punished…" Erza said, muttering the last part. Not quietly enough for Yusuke with his hearing though. He chuckled at that.
Both of them had finished getting Yusuke a proper place to live. The agent told him to come back in the evening and everything he wanted in the apartment should have already settled in. The benefits of magic. They were now at Erza's favorite bakery shop where she would often get her cakes from besides the guild.
"Yusuke, where did you end up fighting the way you did? It was rather impressive how you were able to counter both Natsu and Gray." Erza asked. He looked over at her with a thoughtful expression, trying to figure out what to say.
"...I had mentors back where I came from. I guess I wanted to be able to try and defend myself when I decided to go exploring. So I asked them to give me training." Yusuke explained.
"Where are you from exactly?"
'Shit! I slipped up again!' Yusuke thought frantically.
"I'd...rather not say…" Yusuke slowly said while adopting a sorrowful expression. It didn't go unnoticed by Erza.
"I-I'm sorry, I shouldn't have."
"Ehh...it's fine. But let's focus on something else! Like...where should I meet up tomorrow?"
Erza breathed a sigh of relief. "Meet me outside the guild doors tomorrow in the morning. I can show you where the towns train station is."
"Sounds good then," Yusuke said while finishing his cake. Erza did so as well. "Well, I'm heading back to the guild to meet with Mira. I got my apartment now, and she offered me to go shopping with her."
"Oh...I see. Well then let's go back." She said, looking rather crestfallen.
"Hey Mira, I'm back." Yusuke said walking up to the bar counter with Lucy sitting on one of the stools. Erza following and taking a seat on one.
"Welcome back Yusuke! Did you find a place yet?" Mira asked cheerfully.
"Yup, sure did. 80000 Jewels a month, and it's not far from here. It's good I guess." He replied.
"Let me finish things here in a moment and we can get going."
"No problem, take your time."
"Hey new guy!" A new voice called out. It was Natsu, and Happy was on his head. "Next time we're fighting you're going down! You can count on that!"
"Hehe, dunno bout that, but you're welcome to try Natsu." Yusuke said. He saw Gray walking towards them. "When did you guys get up?"
"It was almost a half an hour ago." Gray said walking up, "You got us pretty good though, no wonder Erza wanted you to be in the guild."
"Alright Yusuke! I'm all ready! Let's head out!" Mira came from the back and took Yusuke's hand dragging him out the guild doors.
"What was that about?' Lucy asked.
"They went to go shopping." Erza said firmly.
"For what?"
"Stuff." Erza abruptly got up from the stool and walked towards her souvenir horn. "Natsu, Gray. I'll see you both at the station tomorrow morning. Yusuke will be coming as well."
She lifted the horn up and walked out of the guild.
"Geez, what's with her?" Natsu asked.
"Not sure, she looked a little mad though." Gray said.
"She always looks like that." Happy said for the first time.
"Ima go pack for tomorrow! See ya Luce! Stripper." Natsu said before running out of the guild.
"That asshole…I might as well get ready too." Gray then walked out as well.
"Sigh...I might as well. If what Mira said to me is true about Natsu and Gray I'll need all the strength I can get tomorrow…" Lucy said before leaving to her apartment.
"Thanks for the help again Mira. Couldn't have done this without you." Yusuke said
Yusuke and Mira were walking to his newly acquired apartment after shopping all the clothes and necessary needs of living for a while. The sun was setting, and Yusuke was carrying all the bags. Almost. Mira helped by holding one paper bag, cutely with both hands and a smile on her face.
"Like I said, I'm glad to help!" Mira chirped.
They were in front of the the apartment complex now. Mira seemed a bit sad that their walk had ended.
"Well, here we are." Yusuke said.
"Hmm, it really is near the guild. That's good." There was a moment of silence before Mira spoke up again.
"Hey Yusuke…" She called out.
"What's up?"
"Be safe tomorrow alright? I know Erza said something along the lines of dark guild mages and criminals so...come back alive alright?" She said looking up to him.
Yusuke grinned brightly. "Hey, no worries Mira! I'll definitely come back in one piece! We'll kick some ass, come back, and I'll eat some more of your awesome cooking!"
Mira felt her cheeks heating up and turned around. "I-I'm h-happy then…I'll be going now! Take care!"
A trail of dust was left behind no later after she said that. Yusuke went up to his apartment with the keys he was given earlier in the day while holding the bunch of bags he bought a short while ago. When he stepped inside he was surprised to see that everything was in place how he wanted. A rug was placed in the living him, a low table on top with two sofas adjacent to each other and one chair off to the side. Kitchen stayed the same as it is. Looking over at the two bedrooms, both had a queen sized bed with drawers on left and right sides, a single dresser was located in the two rooms also. He set his shopping bags down and started to organize everything Mira helped him bought. From clothes, to soap and shampoo, towels, the lists go on.
"Welcome to my new life I guess….shit I'm tired." Yusuke said, heaving a deep sigh.
Far in the sky, Goku in Super Saiyan Three form was fighting multiple Majin Buu's at once. A distance away from them, three figures could be seen. Two were clashing against each other while the other was simply observing with a frown. One of the two fighting, was losing.
"Impossible! I am the strongest...I must be the strongest!" The artificial being Mira cried out, clad in red, gold, white and black with blue skin. The Future Warrior and Mira clashed one with another. Reappearing and disappearing constantly exchanging punches and kicks at one another. Ki blasts were fired from both simultaneously. Beams of raw energy grazing one another. The Future Warrior, Yusuke in his Super Saiyan form, fights hard. Mira counters relentlessly. As long as Yusuke is there, he won't let either Mira or Towa to interfere with the timeline any longer. Eventually, Yusuke gained the upper hand against Mira. "I won't…lose to you!"
Both fighters are seen panting and sweating. There body, straining with cuts, bruises and broken bones. But neither refuses to give up.
Yusuke and Mira both charged at each other in a golden and dark purple aura, respectively. They collided once again with a force that was able to make the whole Earth shake. Passing one another, they looked back at each other. Mira lit up his left hand in a pink energy, and fired a full powered energy wave at Yusuke. By a mere inch, Yusuke dodged at the last second.
"HAAAAA!" Yusuke cupped his hands and outstretched his arms towards Mira. Blue energy swirled inside his hands and an instant later, Yusuke's Buster Cannon fired.
"G-GUUWAAA!" Mira was engulfed in the attack, resulting in his body being completely destroyed.
"Ha...ha..ha.." Yusuke brought down his hands and panted heavily. One down one to go.
"N-No...! My Mira...!" Towa exclaimed. She never would've thought her creation would have been destroyed. Let alone beaten.
"You're next Towa! Prepare yourself!" Yusuke shouted at her. He raised his right hand at her and started to gather Ki.
"I won't forget this Yusuke...you, Trunks, that little Kai. You will all suffer!" Towa started to gather her own dark energy and propped her staff vertically.
BIG BANG ATTACK!
The large ball of Ki was launched towards Towa. But when he thought it was about to hit her, the blue energy sphere went right through thin air, down at Earth. Towa had escaped once again.
"Dammit all!" Yusuke screamed towards the heavens.
"Yusuke, don't worry about her. With Mira gone she can't do anything. We have to go help Goku now!" Yusuke heard from Trunks communicating him. He frowned for a second before launching off in the sky to where Goku and Majin Buu were fighting. Maybe Trunks was right. Still...Yusuke didn't like the taste left in his mouth.
Yusuke was laying down on his bed with hands behind his head and looked up at the ceiling. His frown showed his thoughtful expression, remembering his final battle with the artificial being Mira. Towa had escaped after and he had a suspicion.
It was night time now. Yusuke had finished putting everything away from all the things he bought. Ate dinner, showered, cleaned his teeth and got ready for bed. He got rid of his Time Patroller uniform as that can't be worn anymore in the state it's in. He was currently wearing a black tank top and gray sweatpants giving him comfort.
'One hell of a day today...finally figured out that I'm in a completely different world. In a different universe? Quite possibly. Learned out today that Ishgar wasn't what this planet went by. Instead it was dubbed as Earthland. So much similarities between Earth and here. Except people here actually use "tricks" heh. Ishgar is currently the continent I'm on, and Fiore happens to be a country within it.' He turned to lay on his left side. His left hand going under the pillow and his right helping his body being covered by his blanket. He decided to get some sleep of peace now for tomorrow. But not without thinking one last thing. 'If Towa really is involving me in all of this, then just what are her plans now…? I have to be on guard at all times. Who knows what she can do if we're actually in another universe…'
And done! Took me a couple of days to type this all out, all in all, about 7k words. I'm hoping to steel myself and writing out more each chapter in the future. At least about 10k. It'll take a while, but obviously I can't devote this 24/7 considering I got college and stuff. Anyway, gotta catch up on some other stories myself to read.
Until then!
