Alright, so we're back up here now that the original arc is basically over, and we'll be going over explanations in this chapter instead of intense battles now.
I'm aware that even in my summer vacation, this is almost two weeks long from the last chapter. I'm currently in a family vacation and have been doing so since last Friday. I would have this out sooner, if I wasn't out with the family most of the days. But I brought my laptop so I could continue on writing and typing my chapters so I don't fall behind.
Anyway, onto reviews!
.
roeequaza: I'm not a writer because this is simply a hobby of mine that I enjoy. I don't compare to the actual writers out there. I'm currently studying in the business field in college.
Guest (1): Thanks!
Guest Reviewer "Spekters": I am, and I can't wait until it gets released. Gonna go through it, and come up with a whole bunch of new ideas for my stories.
Guest Revewer "fairy saiyan": Next time!
AlexCephon: Thanks for the review!
You're welcome man, nobody should have to deal with that kind of stuff. Always look for the better side of the coin of yourself and others.
I'm really glad to hear that you're going 2 months strong. Keep that up, and don't let it overcome you. If I ever need to talk to you myself, I'll be sure to reach out.
I wish your story the best of luck. Unfortunately, I'm not too familiar with Rosario x Vampire so I'm not too sure of what will happen. Nonetheless, if you're gonna keep at it, enjoy doing it.
Tell you're girlfriend that she's welcome. This is the internet, but hell, there's always gonna be people there for you eh?
VirusChris: Happy Birthday!...even though I'm like, almost two weeks late lol.
Glad you enjoyed! I am hyped, and the new features will most likely be awesome. Once it comes out, no doubt I'll be coming up with new story ideas.
Elvisfonz23: Thanks again man!
kaiju115: I should've done the fist catching part now that I think about it.
Damn.
As with Goku, if you've followed on how Mira went Super, it's explanatory. Unfortunately, I don't have any plans for Goku actually being present.
Ki Dalang Samezu: Thanks!
Guest (2): In due time lol.
thebadassswordswinger154: I can't help it lol, reading stories with chapters about 2-4k long isn't exactly enough for me, and I tend to give others a bit of content in mine. Plus, I wana keep the word count and chapters relatively the same. In the future, I'm gonna stop doing it and go at around 6k per chapter once I finish this story.
NacNak: Thanks!
.
Not much else to say, but I hope you guys enjoy this chapter! Quite a bit of opening up.
Onward!
"...how are they?" Mirajane asked, sitting next to a bed.
"They'll be fine...for the last time." Porlyusica lightly chided, making the barmaid look to the side with a rather depressed look, eyeing the bandaged face of Yusuke.
It had now been a few hours since the hectic battle had ended between the Time Patrollers and Time Breakers. After another one of Yusuke's large attacks for the last time, nothing else had happened after the male Saiyan had fallen out of consciousness. With Natsu yelling at Happy to go help grab Yusuke away from the ocean, them along with everyone else had retreated back into the guild.
Porlyusica was called immediately by Makarov so that she would tend to the Time Patrollers and potentially to the mages that had stayed behind from the beginning when the whole battle had started.
Luckily, none of the wizards were of any danger. However, the same couldn't be safely said for the three otherworldly beings. While not in critical danger for their lives, they were exhausted beyond belief, and the pink-haired healer had wondered how their bodies were still intact after so many bones were broken within.
Currently in the medical room of the guild, Yusuke's bed laid in between Ann's and Marissa's, who were also heavily bandaged up, with the former on Yusuke's right and the latter on the other side. Both Erza and Mirajane were on either side of the male Saiyan's bed, Erza simply staring aimlessly at the bed, her mind drifting while Mirajane kept hoping he'd wake up soon.
As soon as the Time Patrollers had made they way up to the medical room with the help of Natsu, Gray, Elfman and Gildarts, who were currently in the main hall as to not disturb Porlyusica. It was surprising that she even allowed the female S-class mages to stay. However, the healer began regretting it about halfway through of caring Yusuke that they started to ask questions.
Luckily she was done and over with.
Porlyusica began packing up her tools and materials in a bag she had carried over, and began walking out of the door, her task now finished.
"They need rest, quite a bit for awhile. Do not expect them to wake up any time soon." Porlyusica stated towards Erza and Mirajane, and walked out of the infirmary. When she walked out and headed towards the stairs, she observed downstairs to basically see everyone in Fairy Tail, including the two from Lamia Scale and the Trimen from Blue Pegasus all waiting anxiously and silently over at the ruined bar, tables and booths scattered throughout the main hall.
"How are they?" Makarov asked when he caught sight of the pink-haired healer walking down the stairs.
"I've told the ladies up there that they'll need to rest for a while, and will not be waking up any time soon moving about. They will be fine, I would not be here if I didn't know what I was doing, Makarov." Porlyusica answered as she walked over to the Fairy Tail master, who was sitting atop of the bar counter that hadn't been destroy. Hearing that the three Time Patrollers will be fine made everyone relax considerably.
"Hmm...I see then. Thank you, Porlyusica for coming here so quickly." Makarov said.
"Hmph. Those injuries are not normal Makarov, it's a wonder they're still alive."
"I can only imagine…" Makarov said with his eyes closed.
"Stop getting into trouble Makarov...and that goes to the rest of you." Porlyusica shouted towards the younger mages. "I'm getting tired of these trips, and one day I may have to come in telling the worst. I don't wish to do that."
Everyone took heed of her words, and they soon saw her walking, and out of the guild.
The tense atmosphere had basically disappeared inside the hall, and most people sighed, relaxing themselves even more.
"That uh...that was pretty wild back there." Cana said while chuckling.
"Tell me about it...who knew Yusuke would be someone entirely different...they look so normal." Lucy said.
"Appearances can be deceiving…" Carla's voice spoke up, in a rather harsh tone. She had long woken up after the whole ordeal. After being filled in by Wendy of what had happened, the white feline simply huffed. 'I just knew he was dangerous…'
"Well we can't be sure just yet...he might've had a reason why." Hibiki said.
"Not humans...Saiyans...weird people showing up out of nowhere, a spaceship...it sounds unbelievable to quite honest." Gray said.
"And yet, it all happened. We were all there to witness it." Jura firmly said.
With the hall being so silent than the usual rowdiness, everyone heard a creak upstairs, indicating more of a door being open. They looked up to see Erza and Mirajane walk to the railings, but soon headed downstairs.
"Is everything alright?" Makarov asked.
"Yes, Master. They're sleeping at the moment." Erza answered.
"So what do you two think of all of this?" Cana asked at the bar, and eyeing Mirajane as she went behind the destroyed bar to sit on a stool behind it.
"I...I'm not sure…" The barmaid said.
"It's quite a bit to process…" Erza said.
"Well I don't care!" Natsu's voice suddenly filling the room as everyone looked at him. "New Guy is still New Guy! We shouldn't think of him differently! He's part of the guild, part of us! No matter what, he's a Fairy Tail member!"
Natsu's sudden outburst made most smile at his words. He was right, Yusuke was still a Fairy Tail member. He's done so much for them ever since joining the guild, how could they think differently of him? The fact that the battle earlier with, not only the encounter with the Time Breakers, but as well as with Frieza and his army, Yusuke had gone far and beyond more so than ever to fight and protect the wizards can prove that along with many other feats.
"Hehe...I'm glad you think that Natsu."
Yusuke's voice was heard by everyone in the main hall, and they all snapped their heads towards the second floor of the guild to see the male Saiyan practically banaged all over his upper body and partially his face. He was leaning against the railing with both of his arms on it, crossed, with a smirk etched on his face. Suddenly, he jumped over the railings and landed on the main floor of the guild, walking towards the bar.
"Yusuke! You shouldn't be out right now!" Erza scolded, stomping over to him.
"Oh I'll be fine Erza…" Yusuke offhandedly said with his smirk still intact, and he stopped when the redhead was right in front of him.
"That's not what Porlyusica said! If she said you still need to rest, the-mmph!" Erza started yelling, but was quickly cut off from from her lips as Yusuke locked his with hers.
It was only for a moment before the older teen retracted, and chuckled lightly at a now stuttering Erza, her face red hot.
"Well...that could be said...for humans." Yusuke solemnly said, his smirk turning into a sad smile. This caught Erza out of her embarrassed state when she blinked, and looked at him directly in the eye.
"T-Then…?" Lucy stuttered.
"Yeah...whatever you guys heard about me not being human...they're right." Yusuke said with a sorry look towards everyone. "...I am a Saiyan...and I'm not from this planet or from this universe…"
There was an uncomfortable silence when Yusuke looked around the hall. Some were wide-eyed or had they mouths agape, trying to process the information. Others had looks of confusion on them, and looked around unsurely.
"It's uh...not really a joke you guys." Yusuke said, his sad but rather sheepish smile coming back.
"Even hearing it several times now...it still sounds like it's not true. I mean, look at you." Cana said from the bar. "You look just like the same like the rest of us. Telling us you're not human can be pretty hard to take in."
"Well I am…" Yusuke shrugged.
"Apart from all of us, you have some trick that can turn your hair blonde. What's even the use for that?" Macao asked.
"...uh, it's basically a stronger version of myself...I use it to get stronger in a middle of a fight." Yusuke answered while rubbing the back of his neck.
"Let's see it!" Natsu chimed in.
"H-Huh?" The Saiyan looked at him confusingly.
"I wouldn't mind." Gray said with a grin.
"Aye!" Happy chirped.
"I think it'd be pretty neat." Cana said.
"It'd be good data." Hibiki reasoned.
"I'm sure that my curiosity is the same as everyone else here." Jura said with a nod.
"Kid, it'd be pretty cool if we saw it up close, especially since we hardly saw anything out there earlier." Gildarts said with a smirk.
Yusuke stood silent, wide-eyed at the acceptance. He looked over towards Mirajane over at the bar, who stood at the side after seeing him up and walking about with a comfortable smile at him. He looked over to Erza right next to him to see a small smile on her face, and she nodded when they made eye contact.
"...if you're able to." Erza reassuringly said, aware of his current state.
The black-haired teen finally looked over to Makarov unsurely, but that feeling was erased when he saw a soft smile from him, and nodded confidently that everything will be fine.
"Alright...fine. I want everyone to take a step back." Yusuke finally said after some thought.
Everyone complied with his request and anxiously spread themselves apart so that they weren't too crowded, as well as giving the Saiyan as much space as he needed. Erza made sure to back away considerably as well, knowing full well the power up close.
When there was a considerable amount of space around Yusuke, he closed his eyes, and took in a deep breath before letting it out a few moments later.
A force of wind was let out from where he stood, sending most of them feel shiver down their spines and feeling goosebumps.
Yusuke simple spread apart his legs on the wooden floor, and in a burst of energy, golden aura exploded around him, transforming him into the his first mastered state.
Everyone else covered their eyes for the brief second of flashing lights before opening them, gasping audibly at the sight of Yusuke's new appearance.
The Saiyan slowly opened his eyes, his teal colored iris' locking onto everyone else's surprised looks on their faces.
The mages caught his hardened look that had dramatically changed from his casual look a few seconds ago. His bright golden aura was visibly seen raging around him that made winds inside the guild.
"That's awesome!" Natsu exclaimed with a wide grin, catching Yusuke off-guard.
"Hey Lucy, he could be your brother." Cana joked.
"Ehehe...funny Cana…" Lucy sarcastically said with a sweatdrop.
'Hmm…' Gildarts looked straight into the surprised expression Yusuke held and couldn't help but grin. Apart from that though, it dropped slightly as the Crash mage saw the same familiar look in the Saiyan's eyes as he did earlier. 'Kid, I wonder what kind of life you had before us…'
A dumbfounded Yusuke stood silently, looking around at the people that had bright up expressions, talking about him. It wasn't anything fearful, scared, nor anything they had to worry about...It was more friendly, admiration, in awe.
"Yusuke…?" Mirajane called out. He blinked and looked slightly to the side to see her white hair moving around, and it was at that moment when he realized his power was still being shown. The Saiyan relaxed a bit, his aura dissipating.
"Y-Yeah?" Yusuke stammered.
"What's wrong?"
"I...I didn't expect this kind of reaction…" Yusuke said, chuckling nervously.
"What were you expecting, Boy?" Makarov asked.
"I...really thought that...you guys would be afraid…" The Saiyan slowly said, looking away to the side.
There was immediate silence the moment Yusuke said his sentence, and teal eyes looked up with some insecurity.
"Why would you think that?" Gray asked.
"...It's nothing. I'm honestly glad you guys think that." Yusuke said with a small grin, earning a few confused looks from some people.
"Hey, don't you have another look as well?" Gajeel asked.
"He's right...we don't see any of those static effects around you." Elfman pointed out.
"Oh, it's basically a stronger version of this form." Yusuke answered, laughing a little. "...I'm guessing you guys want to see it?"
"Hell yeah we do!" Natsu shouted immediately, also getting approvals from others as well.
"Alright, alright…" Yusuke chuckled with a sheepish look. He looked over to Mirajane who was near him. "Can you stand back?"
"Of course." Mirajane replied with a beaming smile that made the Saiyan unconsciously smile back. She walked back to the bar, and turned her attention towards Yusuke again.
In an instant, aura erupted around Yusuke once more. Only difference this time is that there were bolts of azure electricity coursing around him. He allowed his aura to die down, but static continued to blink on his person.
Without any glowing effects on Yusuke, everyone else was able to see another change that had happened to him. Aside from the lightning around him, his eyes were more sharper, ready to act. His hair more rigid than his first appearance and held a different look.
"Keep transforming like that and you'll make us think we're under attack again…"
Ann's voice broke throughout the hall, and everyone looked to see up the second floor to discover the female Saiyan with a gauze on her face along with her arms and neck wrapped in bandages, looking down. Marissa slowly trudged over next to her, also in a similar state, and looked around to see the mages staring at them.
Just like with Yusuke earlier, Ann leaped over the railing and landed on the main floor of the guild. Marissa did so as well, and followed just behind her friend as they walked towards Yusuke.
"You're up." Yusuke commented.
"Thanks to you…" Ann grumbled.
"...how long have we been out?" Marissa asked.
"No more than a few hours." Makarov answered from the bar. He eyed both woman observantly, but more on Ann as he spotted the tail behind her back. "Yusuke, why don't you introduce us to your other new friend?"
"He just means me?" Ann asked.
"Yeah, Marissa dropped in the day before all banged up…" Yusuke answered.
"Then you know what happened back on Earth then." Ann stated instead of asking.
"...yeah. I do." Yusuke said, clenching his hands. He closed his eyes and exhaled through his nose, his hair reverting back to his natural born color. The Saiyan was able to hear more sounds of surprises before he opened his eyes again. "Some of you guys know who she is, but for those who don't, this is Ann... and she's just like me, a Saiyan as well."
"I'm guessing this is all of your friends you made in your time here…" Ann said glancing around.
"Yeah, pretty much."
"Can she show us too?" Natsu suddenly asked with a brightened look on his face.
"...what?" Ann asked with a raised eyebrow.
"They want to see your transformation." Yusuke said, clearing things up.
"Why? They've already seen you do it. I don't know why they'd want me to."
"Probably because you're a girl." Yusuke answered offhandedly, earning a glare from Ann. "...it's not gonna be that bad...they're just curious."
Ann kept her glare at her rival for a brief moment before sighing quietly to herself and closed her eyes.
"...fine." Ann conceded, and crossed her arms. She opened her one visible eye that wasn't covered up by the bang over her left eye. Her tied up hair shifted up slightly for a second, before it opened up and her hair changed colors instantly.
Golden aura exploded around Ann as both of her teal eyes stared straight ahead at the mages, the bang on her left eye splitting apart and her hair blooming like a flower behind her.
If some would have thought that Yusuke's Super Saiyan transformation was lackluster, then they definitely thought that Ann's was completely opposite.
"I have to admit, that's really pretty!" Laki commented.
"I'll say, having a style like that wouldn't be bad." Evergreen said with a nod, her arms crossed under her bust.
"Hey Lucy, she could be your sister." Cana said with a wide grin.
"Don't start, Cana…" Lucy said with a sigh.
Ann gasped and widened her eyes silently and slightly, respectively. She huffed and looked to the side, her aura going away and her hair wilting down, changing back to her black color.
"...wasn't that big of a deal." Ann muttered, a tinge of pink appearing on her cheeks. Her sudden change of atmosphere around her made Yusuke quirk an eyebrow, while Marissa simply smiled sheepishly to herself.
"So Yusuke...you say that you're not of this planet, nor of this universe…?" Makarov began asking.
"...yeah." Yusuke said after a silent moment as he narrowed his eyes, looking down. He leaned against a wooden booth, and crossed his arms. "I guess I can start by saying that the three of us are Time Patrollers."
"Time Patrollers?" Erza asked confusingly.
"It's basically our role back on our planet, any disruption in the timeline, we go in and fix it, correcting the flow of events."
"Timeline...then, you guys can time travel?" Lucy asked.
"We don't have the ability ourselves. We go to a vault in the city, TokiToki City, where we live on Earth, and this chamber has these scrolls of different events throughout history."
"So these scrolls allow you to time travel then?" Gildarts asked.
"Earth sounds a lot similar to Earthland…" Freed pointed out.
"TokiToki city sounds kinda funny, doesn't it Natsu?" Happy innocently asked.
"Yeah, the scrolls can basically teleport us to that certain event taken place. But aside from that, we also have machines capable of time travelling as well, and we use those for minor purposes." Yusuke answered.
"This planet is pretty similar to Earth…" Marissa commented.
"Not too much...the technology here wouldn't hold a candle to Earth's." Ann commented.
"It's expected...almost everything here runs on magic." Yusuke said.
"Magic?" Ann repeated.
"The people on this planet use magic as their source of power." Yusuke explained, looking at her. He nodded over at his Earthland friends. "And they're mages."
"What, like pulling out flowers out of their jackets or something?" Ann amusedly said.
"Wow, who knew you could have a sense of humor."
"It's something you'd probably learn about me if you weren't so damn busy being supposedly dead for over a year." Ann countered.
"And what would you expect me to do?"
"Don't know, maybe try and do something to let everyone else know you were alright." Ann argued with a slight edge in her voice.
"You should know well by now I couldn't have done that. I came here with nothing but a senzu and the uniform on me after my fight with Demigra." Yusuke pointed out, all humor leaving his voice.
"That doesn't change the fact that Marissa and I, as well as everyone else thought you were dead!" Ann suddenly screeched out, surprising everyone else. She tugged her hair in frustration and gritted teeth. "God, I know it's not your fault, and that trying to reach you might not have been impossible but…"
The female Saiyan trailed off, looking at the ground, not saying anything more as she was causing something unnecessary at the moment. Her eyes were shadowed and she started walking towards the guild's entrance.
"...I need time alone." Ann muttered. She leaped over everyone else, and flew off once her foot touched the open doorway.
"Ann!" Marissa called out, about to place two fingers on her forehead.
"Marissa." Yusuke interrupted, shaking his head when the Earthling looked back at him. Marissa lowered her arm, and looked at the ground, now slightly depressed. The Saiyan sighed, and leaned back against the wooden booth again, crossing his arms.
"Uhm...Yusuke?" Levy's voice spoke up.
"Yeah?" He responded, looking up.
"I...didn't want to mention it earlier but...I noticed your friend had a...tail?" Levy carefully asked, and others had looks that they were thinking the same.
"...It's another thing about the Saiyans. We're all born with tails." Yusuke answered.
"Whoa...where's yours then?" Jet asked next.
"I got rid of it." Yusuke shrugged with a sheepish smile. "It just got in the way in fighting, so I took it out when I was young."
"...did it hurt?" Droy asked.
"Hm...imagine having your skin pulled from your arm with no relent for a hundred times, at the same moment." Yusuke said, making most cringe from the imagination.
"Uh so...this Time Patrol thing...have you been part of it for a long time?" Lucy asked.
"...no, I haven't actually. Realistically, probably only a few months. But at the same time, maybe a few years as well." Yusuke said with the best explanation possible, but caught the confusing looks on the mages. "The whole time thing is pretty complicated there, but in short, I've been with them for awhile."
"So how did you end up joining them?" Gray asked.
"Uh…-" Yusuke was startled a bit when he heard Marissa gasp, and he looked over at her. "What is it?"
"U-Uh...my backpack!" Marissa answered.
"...what about it?" Yusuke said with a sigh. "It's just back at the apartment."
"Eheh...n-not really…" Marissa said with a nervous chuckle, and the Saiyan narrowed his eyes a bit at her.
"What are you-"
"E-Erza has it! It's safe, don't worry! I just got it because the last senzu was in there, and I didn't have time to just go through it so I took the whole thing..."
"...so it's the backpack you had when you first arrived…"
"Y-Yeah…?"
"Is it this, perhaps?" Erza spoke up, now next to Yusuke. He looked over to the knight to see her holding a worn down pack in her hands.
"That's the one…"
"Here." Erza handed it over to Yusuke, who took it from her with a thanks, and opened it up.
Erza leaned in to take a closer look as to what was inside, still curious when Marissa first gave it to her for holding. When she peeked in, the scarlet-haired woman blinked, seeing orange orbs within.
"What are those?" Erza asked.
"These…" Yusuke pulled out the four star Dragon Ball, and playfully threw it in the palm of his hand. "Were the reason why I ended up joining the Time Patrol."
"Bro…" Marissa said with a tone of warning.
"It's fine...we've already gone this far, they should know." Yusuke reassured, and he looked over at the mages with a stern stare. "What I'm about to say explain next, does Not leave this room! If so, then potential enemies will do anything to get their hands on these! Am I clear?!"
Yusuke's voice boomed throughout the main hall, and after his announcement, some had nervous looks, but nodded nonetheless,
"These are called Dragon Balls. Putting it simply of what their main use is, they can grant any wish that is within its power."
"A-Any wish…?" Mirajane stuttered
"Wait...anything we want?" Erza asked.
"... ...yes. Anything you want, that is within its power." Yusuke carefully said. "So if you want to be rich, that can be granted. If you want a lifetime supply of food, that can be granted."
"Those are all mediocre though if you say we can wish anything we want that is within those orbs' power…" Freed deduced.
"Boy...what if…" Makarov trailed off as some saw his eyes closed with crossed arms. He stayed silent for a long moment, before his mouth slowly turned into a grin...almost, lecherous even. "What if we wish for all the hot single ladies out there for us?! Bwhahahahaha!"
Everything comically fell over...besides some others.
"Hell yeah, Master!" Wakaba shouted.
"Master! That's genius!" Macao shouted.
"Now we're talking! Hahahahaha!" Gildarts cackled.
"Master…! Now's not the time!" Mirajane scolded, making the Fairy Tail Master cower.
"S-Sorry…" Makarov apologized with a slight chuckle.
"Yeah...you can if you wanted to." Yusuke sighed, now standing back up. "...not that I'd let you."
"Yusuke...what if one were to wish for something more...extravagant." Jura asked.
"Depends on what you mean by that."
"...if they wished for more magical power, so to say." Jura asked, leaving everyone else silent at his question.
'Here we go…' Yusuke closed his eyes, silently taking in a deep breath through his nose and letting it out. "Yes, you could."
The crowd murmured, talking amongst of themselves.
"If we can go as far as getting more power...what else could be wished?" Lyon asked thoughtfully with a finger and thumb on his chin.
"Bro, think about this…" Marissa warned again, but saw him raising a hand at her.
"It'll be fine." Yusuke said with reassurance. Marissa relented, and quietly sighed to herself.
"If you say so…" Marissa uttered under her breath.
"Within the bounds of its power, you can even grant yourself eternal youth, or even immortality." Yusuke said.
"What?!"
"Being immortal…?"
"Making it so you can't die…"
"And living forever…"
"This all seems...too easy to be able to be granted wishes with just that." Gildarts said, pointing at the lone orb in the Saiyan's hands.
"That's because it isn't that simple. There's more of these, seven in total. You need to gather all seven of these together to be able to make your wish." Yusuke lifted up Marissa's old backpack to show off. "The rest happens to be in here."
Yusuke proceeded to walk to a table near them, and he set the backpack atop of it. The mages of three guilds began to circle around him, and one by one, the Saiyan took out each of the Dragon Balls that were inside right after setting the Four Star Ball down.
He took out the Two Star Ball next, and laid it down right next to its sibling.
Then the Six Star Ball…
The Three Star Ball…
The One Star Ball…
The Seven Star Ball…
And finally, the Five Star Ball.
All of the Earthland residents looked on with wonder at the, almost sparkling wishing orbs. It flashed a brilliant orange light once before dying down, catching most off guard
"Here they all are, all seven of the Dragon Balls in their glory." Yusuke said.
"They're pretty…" Levy admired.
"So, do we just say what we wish and we get it?" Elfman asked.
"No, it's a bit more complicated than that. You need to say a password to summon the dragon out."
"D-Dragon?!" Wendy squeaked out, also catching Natsu's and Gajeel's attention.
"I guess that answers why they're called Dragon Balls…" Cana muttered.
"What does this dragon look like?" Gajeel asked.
"Uhh...it's just giant, long, green dragon. That's it. With the addition of granting any wish within his boundaries of course." Yusuke answered.
"Well, let's bring him out then!" Natsu said with anticipation.
"And that, is where I stop showing and talking about the Dragon Balls. I'm not going to- No, I can't allow these out any longer." Yusuke sternly said as he started to pack away all seven of the orbs, but after grabbing one of them, Natsu went to grab the Saiyan's wrist, stopping him. "Let go."
"This dragon, he's gotta know where Igneel is!" Natsu shouted.
Yusuke looked at the fire dragonslayer with a slight glare. He had heard many times about Natsu talking about his father, more specifically a dragon named Igneel who had raised him when he was just a child, teaching him magic and combat...as well as him disappearing one day and to have never found him since.
"Natsu!" Erza yelled in a scolding action.
"Natsu, listen to me. These, as well as Marissa and I are from a completely different universe. We're not from Earthland. Chances are, the dragon isn't going to know." Yusuke said.
"But he has to! You said that he can grant any wish, right?!" Natsu reasoned. "If so, then we can find our dragons! Not just mine, but Wendy's and Gajeel's too!"
"I did, and something like that can probably be done." Yusuke replied, still giving a stern stare at Natsu. "But I am Not going to risk using the Dragon Balls for that. I'm sorry Natsu, but it's not going to happen."
"..." Natsu looked down with gritted teeth and clenched fists, both of them shaking.
"When the Dragon Balls are used, and the dragon is summoned, they'll all scatter through the planet in the most random and unexpected places you can find them when your wish is granted. If we use them here, then the enemies is definitely going to get their hands on them when the time comes while we have no way to track them." Yusuke explained to everyone, and looked directly at Natsu. "It's not that I don't want to help Natsu, but I have to keep in mind of the consequences here if the Dragon Balls are used...and that gives a higher priority in my mind...if the circumstances were different, then maybe. And that is a Big maybe...Do you understand, Natsu?"
"...yeah, I guess I do." Natsu said after a moment. He looked away, and Happy flew over to him to give reassurance.
"And that goes for the rest of you as well. I don't want anyone coming up to me asking if these can be used." Yusuke said as he started to pack away the Dragon Balls again. "My answer will always be a solid 'No'. Does everyone understand that?"
He saw a majority nod and heard sounds of approval, assuring the Saiyan that there won't be any problems rising.
"That aside...these were basically the reason why I joined the Time Patrol." Yusuke said, putting the last Dragon Ball inside the backpack, and closing it. "I was wished to help the Time Patrol."
"You were...wished?" Gray repeated confusingly.
"Yeah. With the Dragon Balls, someone wished me to help them with the history and the timeline. I basically heard the dragon's voice, and in a bright light that I saw around me, the next thing I knew I was looking up at the dragon...and it was pretty scary the first time I saw him."
"I was apart of that…" Marissa spoke up, catching their attention and allowed Yusuke to take a bit of a break. "When all seven were gathered we summoned Shenron, and wished for someone strong enough who can help us through fixing the entire timeline...Yusuke was the result."
"Shenron...is that the dragon's name?" Gajeel asked.
"It is." Marissa answered with a nod.
There was silence so far mostly throughout when both Yusuke had first revealed his heritage, to the Dragon Balls, and Marissa telling a bit of information about them as well just now. Until card shuffling was heard amidst the crowd, and those who had heard the cards turned to see Cana currently shuffling them. While she did so, the Card Mage walked over to Yusuke as he was in front of the table.
They both glanced at each other, briefly giving a small smile to each other in acknowledgement before Cana finished shuffling her cards and faced the table.
The brunette pulled the top card, revealing it to be a familiar card to both her and the Saiyan. A card where a muscular man held the world over his shoulders. After a second of looking, Cana set the card on the table for the rest to see.
"You carry a heavy burden…" Cana muttered, but was loud enough for everyone to hear.
From the side Natsu, Gray, Happy, Lucy, Erza, Mirajane and Makarov looked on with wonder after hearing and seeing what the first card had been, and recognizing where this was leading from the first time Cana told Yusuke's fortune.
The Card Mage flipped over the next top card and set it down on the table, next to the first card.
"You were alone...but not anymore." Cana said, and went to flip the next card.
"You'll find love…" Lucy spoke after seeing the third card.
The fourth card was seen right after from Cana's hands.
"You have secrets...many of them." Erza said, her eyes on the fourth card.
Finally, the fifth and last card that was shown back then, the card of the Grim Reaper was seen by all.
"...And you often face death." Makarov murmured.
As if it was a repeat as last time, the whole crowd was eerily quiet, just staring at the five cards, but was their minds were mostly drifted off to the very last card.
"Remember how I said that it was impressive how accurate these were? Well...they're pretty much on point." Yusuke said after the moment of silence.
"I-I mean...I knew I was good b-but…" Cana stammered.
"Don't beat yourself up on it...you should be proud."
"Not like this though…"
Yusuke sighed, closing his eyes.
"I didn't know what to think when I was suddenly transported. After seeing Shenron, he vanished, along with the Dragon Balls being scattered. After that, I was immediately tested, being attacked." Yusuke began talking, and he opened his eyes slowly, keeping them half lidded.
Those who have noticed the liveliness in his eyes saw that they were now suddenly gone, being replaced with a look of immense tiredness.
"I basically passed, and was asked if I could help them…"
Universe 7
Earth, TokiToki City
Age 850…
(1st Person POV)
"Will you join us?" Trunks asked after introducing himself as he brought out a hand.
...why?
Why should I? I took a step back cautiously, still with my arms up, even after he has sheathed his sword.
Trunks sighed.
"I wished for a warrior that would be capable of protecting all of time and history...and you are that person." Trunks started saying. "And I believe that you can help."
I narrowed my eyes. Protector? Me? How?
What's even going on? First thing I was in was the forest...next thing I knew some voice in my head talks to me and then I'm here all of a sudden…
This person...attacked me just now, and wants me to help him…?
I looked around myself to see various people watching us...and they all looked...so weird.
There were people with green skin and antenna's on their forehead…
Some had horns sticking out of their heads…
Even some had pink skin.
Though some all looked completely normal...how I and this Trunks stranger look...I suppose it wasn't too weird.
I saw Trunks purse his lips, and scratch the back of his head.
"So is he the one?" I heard a voice said.
I blinked in confusion, and looked around...where did that come from?
"Hello, down here!" The same voice said.
...down?
I did so, and silently gasped, seeing a small, purple skinned...little girl.
Another weird person…
"How are you!" She chirped with a smile...I, didn't know what it was but...it seemed to calm me down.
I lowered my arms...and tilted my head in confusion...how was I supposed to respond?
"Hmm...can't speak huh?" She said, slightly crestfallen, but widened her smile again. "That's no problem!"
"Uhh...wait a second…" Trunks spoke up.
"Hm?" The small girl looked back at him.
"He uh, hasn't really agreed to anything yet."
"That's not a problem either. I'm sure soon enough he'll come around." She said, keeping her smile.
"Who is it?! Who is it?!"
I flinched, hearing another new voice. Another girl. I looked at a distance away to see her flying towards us...seeing that only made me force my arms up again with my guard up.
I saw the figure land down behind Trunks, and walk up next to him. She had long black hair flowing down her back, and wore red clothing.
"Yes, Marissa. This is him." Trunks introduced.
"Hiya! I'm Marissa!" The girl now known as Marissa sprinted up to me, and I tensed up.
She must have noticed as she stopped halfway, and had a look of confusion on her face.
"Is he shy?" Marissa asked
"He shouldn't be!" The other small girl spoke up...and I heard her voice from behind. I made a sound of surprise when she started pushing me, and I was unable to stop her...just how strong is she?!
I was practically in front of this Marissa girl now at eye level, and she gave a wide grin.
"I'm Marissa! What's your name?" She introduced.
A name…
I looked down on the ground.
"He doesn't have one?" Marissa asked Trunks, and he shook his head.
"I guess not." He responded.
"So it's him eh?"
I looked up to see another weird person...he wore black all around him with spikes coming out of it...blue skin and a long tail behind him. He looked similar to those who had horns coming out of their head...but he didn't.
"Hey Arc." Marissa greeted. "Yeah it's him, he's a bit complicated though."
"Hmm...is this kid really gonna do it? Looks like he's the same age as you." Arc said.
"He's younger!" The girl still behind me said.
Younger? How could she tell? Even I think the Marissa girl and I may have been the same age.
"He is?" Marissa asked wide-eyed.
"Mhm, by three years!"
"He's fourteen then…" I heard Arc say. "Wow, he's really that capable?"
"I can definitely say so, otherwise what would be the point in wishing him?" Trunks said. "Not to mention that he did well when we fought."
"Sounds promising then."
"I think he's had enough attention…" The small girl spoke up once more, and she flew around to face me. She smiled and giggled, and grabbed me by the hand, dragging me away.
"W-Wait! What are you doing?" Trunks yelled.
"Don't worry about it! Give us a week! You'll see a big change in him after!" She yelled, and continued dragging me away from everyone else.
I looked back to see the others with confusing looks...most likely similar to the one I was currently having...just where is this little girl taking me?
"Wait, he couldn't speak at all?" Gray asked with a slight grin.
"Not a word, it was pretty funny now I that I think about it." Marissa said with a small chuckle.
"I didn't know how to communicate back then...uh, the life I had before was completely different compared to the one in the city." I said with a shrug.
"What...what kind of life Did you have before?" Lucy asked, and I let out a small laugh.
"I was just a little kid in the jungle." I sheepishly said...and I inwardly laughed at their dumbfounded faces.
"...Eh?"
I looked around...it was...pretty spacious. We entered some frame a little ways away where the whole crowd of those weird people were at, and it brought the little girl and I to a completely different place where, straight ahead, there was a large decorated building...with a large tree that looked to be on top of it in the dead center of this area we were in.
Continuing to look around more, a large pool of water was at the left of me with rocks surrounding the edges of it, and several domed shaped buildings to the right side of me...they must be houses.
"Welcome to my humble abode!" The little girl excitedly said, spreading out her arms.
This whole place was all hers?
"Kii!" I jumped, hearing another new sound coming from somewhere.
I saw her look to the side and tilt her head up. She brought out a large smile, and she waved.
"Over here!" She yelled, and when I followed where she looked, I saw a white and yellow owl flying down at her...does it have a beard?
The bird perched atop of her arm that she had extended out.
"Meet TokiToki! My best friend!" The little girl said.
"Kii!" The owl spread apart his wings.
I didn't know what to think...I couldn't say anything. Everything so far had been...unrealistic, and happening so fast…
"Now...let's come up with a name for you…"
That caught my attention.
She giggled when she saw me look at her.
"I've always liked the name Yusuke I read in a book once…" She pondered with a finger to her chin.
Yusuke...it does have a nice tone to it…
"Ufufu…" Her face changed...I couldn't tell what it meant exactly though... "I don't think you'll get it anytime soon but...Yasai is a good last name for you."
That...sounds pretty cool...wait, what did she mean I won't get it anytime soon...does she mean my name…?
"That settles that then, your name from here on out will be Yusuke Yasai! What do you think?" She asked.
I smiled, and nodded.
"I think that's the happiest I've seen you so far today…" The small girl said with a slight smile of her own. She walked up to me and floated up so that were looked each other at eye level. "You won't be able to say it now but...you can call me Chronoa!"
So that's her name? It sounds weird but...sounds good at the same time for her.
"Now, you're gonna be here for awhile…" Chronoa said as she brought out an arm. In a puff of smoke, a book drop down and he caught it in the palm of her hands. "Why don't you give this a try?"
She handed the book to me, and I took it confusingly.
"Open it up." Chronoa suggested, and I did.
I looked at it blankly...there was so much text...what was I supposed to be looking for?
"Can you understand any of that?" She asked, and I looked at her up from the book.
I shook my head...all of this? There was never any need for something like this for me…
"I see." Chronoa said, nodding and keeping her smile. "That's A-Okay! Because I'll be helping you!"
I widened my eyes. Is she really going to…?
I must have felt excited and gave a large smile without me actually doing it, and she giggled at me.
"You understand what we're saying...so it shouldn't be all that hard. First, let's get you out of those clothes and into a shower." Chronoa said with her hands on her hips.
I blinked and looked down at my worn out tan pants that only reached down to my lower thigh and ripped white shirt that was a couple sizes too big for me. I stole these clothes from a farmer's land a couple weeks back...it wasn't that bad was it?
"Now, into the house you go!" Chronoa said next as she pointed over to the domed shaped houses. I looked over and she began dragging me once more with one of my arms while in my other arm was the book she gave me.
"Is that her name? I didn't know that." Marissa said.
"Really? I thought she told just about anybody." I said with a slight surprise in my voice.
"Not anybody…" I heard Marissa murmur, and I sweatdropped a bit.
"A week doesn't seem like a while…" Cana chimed in.
"Hmm, Chronoa wasn't her only name." I said with a smirk coming onto my face. "She's also called the Supreme Kai of Time, the name she's mostly recognized as."
"Supreme...what of Time?" Juvia asked confusingly.
"The Supreme Kai of Time." I repeated. "It basically means she's the Lord of Time."
"Lord of Time...then, how long was…'a while'?" Levy asked in wonder.
"Five years…"
"Well I'd say you've come a long way!" Chronoa said with a smile.
"...you think?" I asked, turning my head towards her.
"Yeah! You'll be sure to surprise everyone out there!"
"I don't know about that...it's been so long, I'm sure they've forgotten about me."
"I wouldn't be so sure about that…" She said, and I saw her with her usual teasing smirk. "You haven't been gone that long."
"What do you mean by that…?" I asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Because you've only been gone for a week!"
…
…
Huh…?
"I think I know my sense of time, what do you mean I've only been gone for a week?" I asked confusingly.
"Well…~" She dragged out with a finger on her chin, playfully looking up. "Time is my specialty, and I don't happen to be the Supreme Kai of Time for nothing ya know!"
This was new.
"You're the what…?!" I asked surprisingly...I've seen the scrolls about them here in the Time Nest...while she did look similar to them, I never would have expected her to be the Lord of Time.
"Yup yup! Now you see?" Chronoa cheerfully said. If I didn't know any better, she sounded rather proud.
"I...guess. I don't know...I probably would have preferred it to be an actual five years, and have them not remember me."
"They're good people! If Trunks recruited them, then they're not only good, but strong and reliable as well. You help them, and they'll help you."
I looked to the side, feeling something uneasy well up within my stomach.
"While I am the Kai of Time...unfortunately the real time out there is out of my reach...you remember Trunks wishing you, correct?" She asked.
I nodded.
"We do need your help Yusuke." Chronoa said, her hands on my cheek and she forced my head to turn to look at her. "This is one of the last lessons I'll personally teach you, then you don't have to be cooped up in here any longer, alright?"
"...alright." I said, relenting.
"Everyone out there...is a Time Patroller. Trunks and all of them, we're all here to defend time and history." She started explaining, her demeanor changing to that of being more serious as well as retracting back her arms.
So far, I've been thrown infomation about herself and now about the people outside of the Time Nest...as if learning how to read, write, and speak and learn about Earth's and other planet's history wasn't enough.
Least learning those I took my time.
This however, it made...sense somewhat. Especially with the whole manipulating time ability…but she was being rather quick about it.
"Time Breakers...that, is who our enemy is. They'll do whatever it takes to gain power and control...and that includes being involved with the timeline." Chronoa continued. "Trunks is my assistant, and he's helped by going into the future and gather people to help us."
Future?
"Then...everyone out there is...from the future?" I asked, blinking.
"They are. But by wishing you, we needed someone who will be fully capable, and help us to victory. You are that person." She added with a smile. "Time is of the essence, and we have the same advantage as they do. It's just the beginning...so nothing has started yet thankfully… but I'll ask again, the same question Trunks asked you five years ago...will you join us?"
So that was it.
That was why…
I smiled.
"I owe you for what you've done for me all this time...if this is what I have to do, then I'll do it Chronoa." I said as I looked at her directly in her eyes.
"You've gotten stronger these past years Yusuke...I guess travelling a bit to learn paid off over in the vault. You're only going to get stronger from here on out."
"You said they're all from the future...what about me?"
"...I'll tell you that when the moment comes." She said, her smile faltering slightly.
"I found out later...and to be honest, I think I'm glad she did wait." I said, my arms still crossed over my chest.
"So did you? Come from the future over there?" Gray asked.
"...I didn't, but, that's for something later." I said with a small smile.
"We were pretty surprised when you came out of the Time Nest…" I heard Marissa speak up, and I turned my eyes to meet hers. "Five years can do a lot…"
"They can...it's a lot of time to make use of…she practically drilled everything I needed into my head to know during that time."
"So, you were in there the whole time?" Gildarts asked.
"In a way, yeah, I was. But the scrolls inside the vault, she allowed me to open them, part of learning the history and taking notes of what happened. Some times it was as if I was actually there. I learned about my heritage through her and the scrolls...but there was one part she left out intentionally...I guess it was to protect me or something."
"Which part was that?" Hibiki asked.
"Frieza. Remember that bastard that arrived here on his spaceship?" I asked, receiving several nods from almost everyone. "It was him. Frieza was apart of Marissa's and I's universe as well. He...played a big role during our history."
I stayed silent for a moment, remembering the events, and it only made me grit my teeth in frustration. I silently took a deep breath, calming myself.
"That aside though...after I agreed to join, I basically started training more than ever to prepare myself. The first distortion happened shortly after...and it kept continuing from there on out. I remembered key events on where they occurred, and that helped me on fixing them so that the Time Breakers didn't gain the upper hand."
"The Time Breakers...what are they exactly?" Ren asked.
"They're beings that'll change the flow of time so that the more they disrupt, the more power they gain." Marissa answered.
"The one's after my fight with Frieza, it was them." I began saying. "Towa, the woman who I talked to. She's one of the leaders. The other, his name is Mira."
I waited for their reaction.
"Wait, what was his name?" Gray asked with disbelief in his voice.
"His name is Mira...I know it's confusing with our Mira but, that's his name." I nervously said.
"That's...awkward...not manly at all…" Elfman muttered.
"It...sounds more creepy…" Mirajane said, looking to the side uncomfortably...I hope I can make it up to her after all of this is over…Erza too…
"They were the main problems, and they kept messing up with history itself. The Time Patrol did everything it could, using as much manpower as possible. Eventually, after so much fighting and interfering with them...Mira and I faced one another. A battle of survival...where only one of us would come out alive." I explained once more. I unconsciously clenched my fist. "I won in the end, where I thought I killed him. But today, Towa proved me wrong, and now he's back stronger than ever…"
"Worst part of it is...they have the advantage now…" Marissa sadly said.
"What does that mean?" Freed asked.
"Back in the City, both sides were able to take their 'Time' and use it how they can until one side made a move. Putting it simply, more time manipulation to make use of." I answered. "But us at the moment? We don't have that luxury while Towa still can...on top of that, she's able to change the space around her now to jumping other universes...that's one major change that she didn't have when we fought back then."
"What happened that had her make this change?" Jura asked.
I took a moment to think about it, and remembering back my conversation with her earlier today, I widened my eyes.
"Demigra…" I uttered, loud enough for those to hear
"What?" Lyon asked confusingly.
"Demigra…" I repeated, loud enough to say it this time. "He was another problem with the Time Patrol...after I defeated Towa and Mira he started to take action, and did the same things the other two did. Only when he did it, it was a lot more powerful...the reason he's tied in with the Time Breakers is because Towa uses his magic to change the outcome of the certain events...my guess is that she was able to retain his magic and alter it in her way."
"Then, this Demigra is a Time Breaker as well?" Makarov inquired.
"No, he isn't. He's a God." I answered.
"A-A God?!" Lucy shrieked.
"A Demon God to be more specific...and it's what he called himself." Marissa chimed in.
"He was a lot more powerful than Towa and Mira too. Not because of him being a God, but being stuck in the crack of time for over seventy-five million years would give you time to do some things." I said.
"Seventy-FIve million years...I...guess it shouldn't be too surprising if he's a God." Cana muttered.
"Would that change if I said Chronoa was over seventy-five million years old as well?" I asked with a smirk.
"S-She is…?" The brunette asked, wide-eyed.
"Yeah." I nodded. "Despite her childish appearance, she's a lot older than she looks."
"Getting back...this Demigra was also a problem?" Erza asked.
"He was. After Towa and Mira, more events continued to change and we went to fix them, but it was more of a challenge since he was doing it. But as he kept doing it, he was free from his prison, and he escaped. I was distracted while trying to fix an issue, and he took advantage of that by attacking TokiToki City in the future. He absorbed TokiToki, and he gained power to control Time and Space himself, gaining actual powers of a god, leaving Chronoa obsolete…"
"That bird can give that kind of power?" Gray asked.
"He gives power to actually create time...it was why Demigra wanted him so badly." Marissa answered.
"Despite that...I fought him. Twice, and in the end, I won...and because I won, that's how I ended up here. In Earthland." I explained.
"Then…" Erza spoke up, but trailed off. I guess she realized.
"Yeah...it wasn't bandits that beated me up back then...it was my fight with Demigra...sorry for lying Erza…" I said with my eyes closed with my head tilted down. "...and I'm sorry for everyone else as well...because that wasn't the first lie since I arrived here…"
"Well, with just that and what happened today...what else could there be?" Gray asked.
I took another deep breath and let it out, relaxing, and opened my eyes.
"Because distortions didn't stop back in our universe...it continued here." I continued explaining.
"Wait, even here? How?" Lucy asked next.
"Remember when I said Towa could jump through spaces? She came here. All this time, while I've been here...she was as well...the first time I noticed...was when we fought Lullaby." I said.
"E-Eh?!"
"...when exactly did it happen with Lullaby?" Erza asked.
"After you, Natsu, and Gray knocked it down the first time. The second time it stood up? That was Towa's doing...and that was why I stepped in next." I said with a small smile. "It wasn't because it still had power left in itself...it was because Towa used her magic to give it more power."
I didn't stop there…
"The second time was back when Phantom attacked us head on with their guild, when they were trying to take Lucy." I said, and I saw Gajeel, Juvia, and Lucy look away. "The robots that appeared, they were androids, and Towa was the one who brought them. Some of you know I lured them away, and fought them myself."
And then the next one…
"Third one being...when I went to Akane Resort with the others after our war with Phantom…" I said, and looked over at Erza. "Some of you saw the green and purple skinned girls earlier today that was with Towa...they're called Majins. They're able to openly stretch their body and limbs to maneuver themselves, and are extremely powerful...the green skinned one, named Shun Shun, attacked us, and I managed to get her far away as possible as well."
I looked over towards Mirajane after I explained the first part of what happened back at the tower.
"Some of you guys might have seen bright light during that night...I heard it covered the whole country...that was us fighting, and me trying to make sure a large part of his planet didn't explode." I continued, and decided to leave out the part with Jellal...I figured that it might have been too personal for Erza for me to openly blurt out. At least this, I would keep to myself from everyone else and talk with her later. Despite that, I continued talking past that.
"...fourth time was when we came back, and Towa had used her magic on Laxus." I said, looking over at the Old Man, who had widened his eyes briefly, before closing them in thought. "Natsu fought him first and had managed to beat him with Gajeel's help, but after that was when Towa stepped in, and it was when I fought him as well. As most of you are aware...I came out winning in the end."
I took a moment to breath, and used that time to look around...some had looks of realization, some still had confusing looks, and some had looks of anger...of what, I'm not to sure of…
"Then there was the fifth time before today happened. It was back when we fought the Oracion Seis. While the six members themselves weren't the one's...the large brute that I fought after fighting the six members was." I said.
"That...large being we all saw back then?" Eve asked disbelievingly.
"Its name was Hatchiyack...a thing that was created by a scientist back in our universe, and was basically a killing machine for the Saiyans." Marissa answered.
"After that...there wasn't anymore until today happened...and that's where we are today…" I said with some finality. "All in all, I was transported to join the Time Patrol, fought with them, ended up here, and continued fighting. That's pretty much the gist of it…"
I stopped talking, and everyone looked liked they were taking in all the information I had just given to them...it was expected.
(3rd Person POV)
As everyone remained silent, they all heard clattering from the outside of their guild, and everybody looked towards the door, and saw a large group of Rune Knights enter the guild with Lahar in the front.
"The Magic Council has received several reports indicating that all tremors being felt pinpoints here in Magnolia...Fairy Tail! I am to ensure that under the name of the Magic Council, this guild is hereby under questioning!" Lahar announced with authority.
'Great…' Yusuke thought with annoyance, and sighed in irritation.
"Well! There will be no need for that." Makarov's voice was heard. "We were just having some daily sparring matches! Isn't that right everyone?!"
"Y-Yeah! Yusuke fighting against Gildarts was pretty interesting, wasn't it?" Gray said out loud.
"Hehe, yeah! It was pretty intense!" Jet said out loud.
"It was pretty close too!" Droy spoke up next.
"I have to apologize for that then." Gildarts said walking ahead so that he'd meet with the Rune Knight's gaze. "My Crash Magic can be pretty hard to control if I get too excited, I didn't think it'd be that strong! Hahahahahaha!"
"Gildarts Clive...yes, I suppose it's understandable, given the nature in your magic." Lahar said, fixing his glasses. "However, I don't suppose anyone can explain the strange lights that was seen occasionally in the sky. By not here in Magnolia, but in other towns and cities as well!"
"F-Fireworks! We were seeing what they can do when they were set off with magic!" Marissa shouted, catching attention. She reeled back a bit, and chuckled nervously.
"Rune Knights…" Jura spoke up, walking up and standing near Gildarts. "I can assure that whatever has happened thus far, I can vouch there is no need for the Magic Council to be involved as everyone is safe."
"Jura Neekis…!" Lahar said, widening his eyes. "Very well, while I am aware that Master Makarov is one of the Ten Wizard Saints, I suppose that you being here as well is indication of what you say is perhaps true...I will contact the Magic Council as is and report in."
Lahar turned around and faced the Rune Knights.
"Move out!" Lahar ordered, and all of the Rune Knights turned around and headed out of the guild with Lahar.
Everyone waited anxiously as they heard all of the stomping of boots go farther and farther, and they all relaxed.
"Well, that was a close one." Makarov said, chuckling a bit.
"Thanks Old Man...if the Magic Council caught wind of me...I'm...not too sure what would happen to this guild." Yusuke said in relief.
"Not a problem my Boy! Dodging a bullet from the Council is Fairy Tail's specialty! Bwhahahaha!" Makarov cackled, lightening the mood of everyone in the room.
"So...all those times when you fought...it was from this, Towa's magic on them?" Levy asked.
"...yeah. Well, no actually. When I fought Jose, Towa had nothing to do with it. I just really wanted to beat him up." Yusuke said with a small smirk, further lightening the mood and lifting up the atmosphere around the main hall.
"Then the next time they show up, we'll be there with you, fighting alongside." Gildarts said with a smirk.
However, any humor that was in Yusuke and Marissa had left.
"No, the next they show up, we handle them." Yusuke sternly said.
"...you guys still don't realize how strong they are...do you?" Marissa said, and she looked over at her surrogate brother. "Wait, do they know exactly how strong you are?"
"No…" Yusuke sighed. "They know I'm pretty strong but…"
"How strong are you then? I can already tell you held back when you fought me, so having a clear image would be helpful." Gildarts said.
Yusuke eyed him and stayed silent for a moment until he sighed once more.
"These aren't enemies that you can casually walk up to and face them by yourself...let alone having your strongest wizards stand up against them…" Yusuke looked to the side and crossed his arms. "...These people can destroy multiple planets if they wanted to…"
"D-Destroy planets?!" Lucy paled.
"Then...you're…" Natsu trailed off.
"...yeah, if I wanted to, I can destroy planets as well. Not that I will, just to let you all know." Yusuke said. "All of those large attack you saw us doing earlier, each one of those were easily capable of destroying Earthland."
As if all of Yusuke's explanation weren't enough to sink in, this one did. The fact that he was capable to wiping out their home in almost an instant so easily gave them the realization.
"What about her?" Juvia asked as she pointed at Marissa.
"Eheh...I can try if I wanted to but...not as easily as he would. But...like he said, not that I would actually try." Marissa sheepishly said. "Ann, she's able to as well if she wanted to. But again, she wouldn't actually do it."
"We make sure to use that strength against our opponents...destroying rocks is far from our minds of what we want to do." Yusuke added in. He looked ahead, and so did Marissa.
When they did, they looked to see Ann walking in with a bored expression.
"Does anyone want to tell me why Frieza's spaceship was just floating out there?" Ann asked angrily, pointing her thumb behind her.
"Oh that's right...you don't remember." Marissa said.
"Remember what?"
"You and Frieza tried to kill me, while the both of you were under Towa's hands." Yusuke said.
"So you mean to tell me that bastard Frieza came to this planet and I fought alongside with him?" Ann asked, disgusted.
"Uh...yeah?" Marissa sheepishly said with a shrug.
"Ugh...I can't believe it…" Ann said through her teeth. She stayed silent for a moment before she spoke up again. "I brought his ship over. As much as I would hate doing so, he's got the medical machines inside. We can use those."
"Oh...that's a good idea." Yusuke said with a small grin.
"Medical machines?" Erza asked.
"It's a machine that Frieza and his armies have so that it heals wounded soldiers within a few hours." Marissa answered.
"Come on. The sooner the better." Ann said in a hurry, and walked back out.
Yusuke and Marissa leaped over everyone and landed on the doorstep, following Ann.
"If you guys want to check it out, feel free to!" Yusuke shouted before continuing to walk out through the door.
"I think checking out this spaceship would be worthwhile…" Hibiki muttered and turned to head out the door.
"Hibiki!" Ren shouted.
"Wait for us!" Eve said, and him and Ren ran after their friend.
"Natsu! Let's go see it!" Happy suggested.
"I think that's a great idea buddy!" Natsu said with a grin, and they both headed out.
"W-Wait!" Lucy shouted, running after them.
"Those guys…" Gray muttered, and started walking out.
Erza started walking silently, and Mirajane followed just behind her.
Soon, some other Fairy Tail mages followed along with the two Lamia Scale members.
"Are these the same model?" Yusuke asked, looking around the infirmary of Frieza's ship, and eyed the healing pods.
"Yeah, they are, so it should be simple." Ann said, working the keyboard at the side of the room.
The Time Patrollers plus mages that consisted of three guilds were all in the same room in the spaceship.
It was simply parked behind the guild on the sandy beach where it had easy access.
Those who had wanted to go inside were all watching the Time Patrollers interact with one another, seeing how this would work.
"Take over Mari." Ann said.
"Sure." Marissa went over and took her place while Ann walked over to a pod.
"Open Chamber B."
"Opening." Marissa pressed a button, and a buzzing sound can be heard. Everyone saw a pod opening up, and Ann proceeded to tear away her bandages on her so that she was left in her tank top and short, and showed off her bruises and scratch marks. She took off her boots, and her string that tied her hair into a ponytail, letting it flow freely.
"How long are you gonna be in?" Yusuke asked.
"It's best if we all do it the rest of the day until morning. That way, we'll be back at full strength and feeling better than ever." Ann said as she walked inside the pod, and hooked herself up with a breathing mask.
The female Saiyan sat cross-legged and faced the front. She eyed Marissa and gave her a nod. The Earthling nodded back, and proceeded to work on the keyboard and screens in front of her.
"Setting the time...closing the chamber...and done." Marissa announced, and the door of Ann's healing pod started to shut.
The moment it closed shut, clear green liquid started to pour inside from tubes that connected the pod. The pod was full after a minute, and the female Saiyan's hair flowed upward. Slowly, Ann's eyelids grew heavy, and she slept a second later.
"W-What's that…?" Lucy asked.
"It's basically a remedy for your body, and the thing that's used to heal. The longer you stay in it, the longer you'll heal." Yusuke explained. He went over to where Marissa was at the desktop, and placed a hand on her shoulder. "Your turn Kid, I got it from here."
"I can do it for you, y'know." Marissa offered.
"You've been using the Kaio-Ken quite a bit today...go. Sooner you go in the better."
"...fine. Open up C."
"Got it." Yusuke began to work through the buttons on the machine, and the healing pod next to Ann began opening up.
Marissa took off all of the bandages wrapped on her so that she was just left with her red shirt that was torn a bit and her denim shorts. She threw her sneakers to the side, and walked inside the pod. Already thinking ahead and putting on the breathing mask, the door to her pod closed, and the healing waters began filling up. Soon, it was full, and Marissa's hair went up from the water. Feeling relieved, she closed her eyes, and drifted off to sleep.
"...and my turn as well." Yusuke muttered as he opened up the healing chamber next to Marissa's and set a timer to count down when the door would close and he would begin healing.
Walking over to his own pod, he started to tear away his bandages as well so that he was just left with his black cargo pants and white boots.
"Yusuke." Erza's voice broke the silence and the male Saiyan stopped in front of his pod to look behind him to see Erza and Mirajane walk up to him.
"Y-Yeah…?" Yusuke stuttered...feeling a bit awkward after not talking to them for awhile after what had happened today.
"You're...going to be in there until tomorrow?" MIrajane asked.
"I am, and after that, I'll be back to normal." Yusuke nodded. "...if you guys want to continue training, we could do that tomorrow."
"Y-Yes...I think that will be best." Erza said, stammering a bit.
"Uh, alright then...I'll, see you all in the morning then." Yusuke slowly said, and walked into the healing pod. The door closed just as he walked inside fully, and he quickly put on the breathing mask. He sat down when the water was already at his knee, and soon the liquid engulfed him entirely. His eyes grew heavy, and slowly he allowed darkness to overtake him, the sight of Erza and Mirajane being the last thing he saw.
"Why didn't you tell him?" The barmaid asked.
"It...didn't seem right at the moment. We'll do so when tomorrow comes." Erza said.
"I think I'm going to head back...this whole day has just been...well, I'm not sure how to put it." Gray said.
"I feel the same way...I'm pretty drained." Lucy tiredly said.
"...who knew something like this would happen." Elfman added in.
"It seems surreal but...it's really not the case." Hibiki said, working his Archive Magic. He closed it a second later and turned towards the Fairy Tail mages. "The Trimen will be taking our leave before the station closes for the day. We'll report to Master Bob...and make sure Yusuke is also kept in good hands in Blue Pegasus. I'm sure he'll appreciate that."
"With how he kept it to himself all this time, it is for the best. You have our thanks." Erza said.
"It's no problem. I'm sure he had his reasons, and whatever they are, I'm also sure it was for the best for everybody." Hibiki said, nodding, and with a wave of farewells, he as well as Ren and Eve walked out of the ship.
"We'll take our leave as well and report back to Master Ooba. As well with Blue Pegasus, we will make sure this does not get out of hand." Jura said.
"Fairy Tail thanks you." MIrajane said with a smile.
The Wizard Saint nodded, and he turned to take his leave. He even dragged Lyon away from his bickering with Gray while he did so.
"I'll be staying here." Erza announced.
"Well, that's up to you. I'm hitting the hay back in my bed." Gray said, yawning, and began walking out.
"Bye guys, I'll see you all tomorrow." Lucy said, waving at them.
"Natsu, let's go." Happy said.
"Alright buddy, let's head out." Natsu said, taking one last look at Yusuke before following his best friend.
"Let us go Child. There is no further need to be here." Carla said as she sprouted her wings, and started to fly away.
"W-Wait for me, Carla!" Wendy called out, chasing after her.
"Will be leaving as well?" Erza asked Mirajane.
"No…" The white-haired woman said, shaking her head. "I want to stay as well."
"...very well then." Erza quietly said, and sat in a chair next to a table. She didn't have to look as Mirajane sat near her as well, relaxing herself on the table.
"...I hope nothing changes." Mirajane said after a moment.
"I…" Erza started, and stared at Yusuke. "I don't think that will be the case."
"What do you mean?"
"Everything Yusuke has told us...I'm not sure if he'll be looked at the same again."
"That shouldn't matter." Mirajane quickly said. "What matters is that he's still the same after this, and we move on. It shouldn't matter what others think about him."
Erza looked at Mirajane with slightly widened eyes, and looked towards the ground next. She held out her hand, and used her requip magic to stow away her armor, and held Yusuke's locket in her palm.
"I hope so..."
Ohh it ain't over just yet. I got one more chapter left until this entire thing blows over, and then I'll be moving on to my spinoff for this story. It's going to be in the FTverse just to let you all know.
Time Patrol past of Yusuke has been revealed. I'll also say, Yusuke's past before joining the Time Patrol will also be in the next chapter, so look forward to that.
I definitely did alter the beginning of Xenoverse in the flashbacks. Why? Because it'd be boring if I followed exactly what happened in the game, so I made my own twists like how I usually do. If I plan on writing about Yusuke's time WHILE being a Time Patroller, you can bet that'll be different as well as from the game. Also, most likely going to be in the DBZ section of Fanfiction, since it's like a prequel to this story. That's a big IF, if I do plan on writing it, but probably not since the end result will be the same like in the game. AKA, the beginning of this story.
I actually just found out that the Supreme Kai of Time's name was Chronoa while doing research when writing this. Got Dragonball Heroes to thank for that as well as the reviewer who mentioned her name a while back, was confused when I first read it, thinking it was other name TokiToki had lol. I'm also convinced that she can do quite a lot with time manipulation, which is given, so I took that to my advantage and used something similar to the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, crunching 5 years into 7 days. I was contemplating whether or not to make Yusuke arrive as the same age as Marissa back on Earth, but him arriving younger is gonna work out into next chapter.
Whether showing the Dragon Balls to the wizards was a good idea or not doesn't matter and won't matter in the future after the Edolas Arc. So they won't have too much significance in the FTverse.
Everything is basically revealed now that everyone else needs to know as far as Yusuke has arrived. Which also reminds me, I wanted to compare my fic to the actual canon timeline, so I'm gonna be doing that now from the beginning of this story to this chapter, of events that Did Not Happen in Canon.

So as far as I know while going through my chapters, this is all I can think of. If I've missed any, lemme know in the reviews.
I'll probably have the next chapter done around the same time it took for this chapter to come out since my family vacation lasts until next week, but I'll still be typing it all up during that time and then move onto the spinoff.
As always, a Big Thank You to those enjoying my fic so far! If I could, free buffet for everybody! Ate at a buffet today, was pretty damn good.
Until then.
