We are back! Just me, but back on this story!
First and foremost, a thanks to everyone following! From the time away here, this story has reached over 200 followers! That's really exciting, and I'm really happy that has happened! I hope those who have followed and favorited recently stick for a long while!
Second, it's been over a year since I've published this story! I've had my ups and downs here, but don't think I'll abandon this. I'm determined to finish this all the way through and you guys have driven me to write and publish all of my writing so another thank you to all you for that!
Now I wish I did update this on the day of the first anniversary, but it couldn't be helped since I was over at the side story as well as having college get in the way. But, at least this gets an update right? For those who have read the spinoff story so far, I've stated I'll be coming back here mostly now and that the main reason for "FTXV: Like A Whole New World, Kinda" was written in the first place was because of Dragonball Super and Dragonball Xenoverse 2. I wanted more time for those to develop and with the recent stuff on DBS as well as DBXV2 coming out this month (I think), I figured it's time to come back here. I'll be writing on the spinoff sporadically and it will be finished later.
I'll start replying to reviews from this chapter onwards since the others are just so old but to answer some questions about the canon chapter (Chapter 37), Doctor Sinew is an OC and won't be part of this story. He'll be apart of this sequel.
Ann's Saiyan name, Satsumi, IS from the japanese word of sweet potato "Satsumaimo." It was honestly the closest female name I could get at the time and I think it works well with her actually.
If I had to put a voice actor for him, I honestly don't know for both English and Japanese, haven't really bothered with it since this is all fanfiction.
The sequel of this story Will be in the RWBYverse, that's where Doctor Sinew comes in and the descriptions I portrayed back in Chapter 37. Yusuke will be in it along with someone else.
Hope you guys enjoy this chapter! I'll get working on the next one as soon as possible.
Onward!
Some time has passed ever since Frieza came to Earthland. As well as the Time Breakers making their appearance to confront Yusuke. Ever since then, Ann and Marissa - both who unexpectedly arrived during the incident - had joined Fairy Tail and were still getting used to the upbeat lives of those in the guild.
The members in the guild were also getting used to the fact they had three people that weren't from their planet, or in their own universe for that matter. It'd even blown them away to discover that there's so much more than just Earthland out there at a vast range.
Eventually, even Fairy Tail itself had come down from the high of the events that had occurred almost a week prior, and was going back to their normal selves with Erza trying to keep order.
Marissa herself was fitting in with the others well. Her outgoing personality went along with the members in the guild, and before she knew it, she was getting in fights that happened daily with her being on top whenever Erza wasn't there. Even then, the Earthling was with Yusuke over half the time within the city and at the forest.
Ann however, shut herself away and mainly talked to Marissa whenever she had the chance. Only other person she would mostly pay attention to after the Earthling would be Yusuke. Of course, it'd be them mostly training or arguing with each other.
Yusuke was still coping with the fact that Towa had appeared in Earthland, and had attacked him. It angered him that his friends were endangered. Even now, they're still under the threat of the Time Breakers.
He was happy that those in Fairy Tail still sees him as one of theirs, along with the other two Time Patrollers. Overjoyed even. But ever since then, he'd been training with Ann every day. Now that she arrived, and his anxiety of acceptance was over with, he's been focusing hard on getting stronger. Much to the female Saiyan's joy, her rival's been giving a run for her money, and it's exactly what she needed given their situation and how stressful she's been.
Even at this moment, they were high above the forest, clashing against each other, testing one another with each passing second.
Marissa sat cross-legged on the grass and kept her head up, observing the both of them. However, she gasped silently as she felt a breeze blow by her, and looked at the looming dark clouds in the distance.
"Man, this planet has some weird weather...looks like it's gonna rain pretty soon…" Marissa muttered.
In a matter of a short time, her prediction was correct. The clouds covered the sun and the entire sky over Magnolia and its forest. Rain soon started pouring. But that did not stop Yusuke or Ann one bit.
Over in the Fairy Tail guild, almost everyone was taking shelter from the ongoing rain. Unfortunately, Wendy was out and about trying to locate Carla after blowing off Happy when he tried giving her a gift.
"It sure is raining hard…" Lucy said, looking through the window.
"It isn't my fault." Juvia commented.
"No one said that it was…" Gray deadpanned. His eyes twitched over to a snoring Natsu to the side.
"How much longer is he gonna sleep?" Elfman questioned with a raised eyebrow at the sleeping fire dragonslayer.
"Hehe...we should draw something on his face." Gray said with a wide smirk, and Elfman returned the same smirk at him.
Nearby over at the bar, Cana was happily chugging a barrel of beer while sitting on top of the counter.
"Ah…! Nothing like a fresh drink on a rainy day!" Cana gleefully wiped her mouth and tightly hugged the barrel.
"Cana...make sure to leave some for other customers as well." Mirajane said, putting on a coat behind the counter. She grabbed an umbrella from under the counter, and walked out and around of the bar. "Elfman, it's time to go!"
"Mira? Are you two going somewhere?" Cana asked, resting her chin over the barrel.
"Yes, to the church." Mirajane answered with a small smile, and Elfman came walking up next to her. Both of them waved to several other people in the guild before heading out in the rain.
To be frank, Mira was rather glad she hasn't been training with Yusuke as of late. Around this time it'd be too emotional for her, and she didn't want him seeing her so fragile. Images of what had happened back then came back to her often, but she still kept a bright face. She allowed Elfman to take the umbrella from her, and soon the both of them began walking towards the church.
"Why are they going to the church at this time?" Lucy asked.
"Ah...I guess it's around that time again…" Levy muttered, and Lucy directed her sights towards her.
"For what?"
"Lisanna's anniversary of her passing is coming up…" Cana answered.
"Lisanna?" Lucy questioned once more.
"Mira and Elfman's younger sister...it happened during a mission two years ago…" Levy solemnly said.
"Whenever it's around that time, they'd often go to the church…" Cana explained with a sigh.
Just off to the side, Erza quietly watched both figures of the Strauss siblings go farther away. As if having the same thoughts as the barmaid, she also thought it was good to not train with Yusuke at the moment. For those who knew Lisanna back then would want to take time in remembering her.
There would always be other times that all three of them will be able to train again on a regular basis.
"Erza, would you come over here for a second?" Makarov called out and she walked over to him.
"What is it, Master?" Erza asked.
"Since Gildarts couldn't complete the one hundred year quest, do you think we should pass it along to other guilds?" Makarov suggested.
"I can agree to that."
"It's either that, or we can allow Yusuke to have a shot at it."
"That's… " Erza trailed off, looking down a bit.
"You don't think he's up for it?"
"No, it's not that." She shook her head. "He's strong but...I won't help but worry if he were to take it."
"Hm...I see…"
"Man, it's so boring…" Lucy laid her head on the table in front of her.
"Yeah...even I feel lazy on taking jobs on this rainy day…" Levy commented, scribbling on some paper.
"I wish something interesting would happen…"
Just outside the guildhall, Wendy was currently running towards it in a frantic state. After catching up to Carla, they both saw Mystogan approach them, and an emotional reunion was exchanged between them as the dragonslayer realized it was the same Jellal that had helped her when she was just a little child even before she had met Carla.
Unfortunately, Mystogan had no time but to warn Wendy about the Anima that was about to take place just above Magnolia...and absorb it entirely.
*BOOM!*
Thunder clapped across the sky as Yusuke and Ann clashed their foreheads together, and grasped their hands against each other. They both stared down each other with gritted teeth before pulling one of their arms back and exchanged a punch at one another.
Rain poured on them as they continued exchanging blows to one another until suddenly, a large winds brushed past them and a bright light caught their sight. They both winced for a second before directing their eyesight towards the source.
"Where the hell is that coming from…?" Yusuke questioned.
"Wait a minute...isn't that the city over there?" Ann asked.
"...What?!" The male widened his eyes to see a large vortex in the sky, and it seemed like a tornado was travelling towards it...along with the city itself. "No…"
In a matter of seconds, the large twister had disappeared...along with Magnolia. Shakily, Yusuke dropped out of his ascended state, looking onwards disbelievingly.
"What...just happened?" Ann muttered, and she relaxed her energy as she reverted back into her base form.
"I...I can't sense anyone…"
Ann narrowed her eyes, and concentrated. "Calm down Tarok…"
Yusuke looked at her briefly before stabilizing himself. Deeply breathing in, and letting it out a few seconds later, he closed his eyes and honed his senses towards the city. His eyes snapped open when he managed to feel Wendy's signature through his current state.
Just then, Marissa came flying up towards them. "What was that…?"
"Look." Ann pointed over towards where Magnolia once was, and the Earthling gasped surprisingly when she turned her sight towards it.
"W-What happened to the city…?! Is it because of that light I saw?"
"Yeah...after that, there's the entirety of that empty space…"
"I can feel Wendy over there...come on, let's hurry!" Igniting a white aura around him, Yusuke immediately flew to where Magnolia was.
"Bro! Wait up!" Marissa shouted, and chased after him. Not just far behind, Ann immediately followed the both of them at just the same speed.
It didn't take long for all three of them to arrive in the city. However, as Yusuke kept trying to clear his senses, he felt Wendy nearby, but wasn't alone. Just around her, he felt Natsu, Happy and Carla as well, and they were currently moving. Looking just ahead, he managed to see all four of above them, and he stopped to stay afloat, prompting Ann and Marissa to stop just behind him.
"Why did you stop?" Ann asked.
"Look...where are they going?" Yusuke pointed to the flying Wendy and Natsu that were currently being held by Carla and Happy respectively.
"They're...going further into the sky?" Marissa said.
"Yeah but…" Yusuke was silenced when he saw them go faster, and in a matter of seconds, another light was seen in the middle of the sky. Shortly after, it vanished, and Yusuke silently made a sound of surprise. "They're not there anymore…"
"There must be something going on right now...you don't think Towa's back this soon do you?" Ann asked.
"It's...possible...but what would Natsu and Wendy know that would make them do what they did just now? If it's really the Time Breakers coming back again…" Yusuke trailed off, and gritted his teeth.
"Hey look...there's someone down there." Marissa spoke up, and pointed down at the white surface where Magnolia once stood. Both Saiyan's looked down to see a figure walking through the white plains. Yusuke however, recognized the blue hair the person had.
"...Jellal?" Yusuke muttered.
"You know him?" Marissa asked.
"Kind of…" The male floated down towards the person with Marissa and Ann following suit.
All three of them arrived just behind the walking figure, and Yusuke walked at a brisk pace towards him. Upon closer inspection, Yusuke took note of the multiple staffs he had on his back, and vaguely thought of the person back when he first joined the guild.
'It's him...his name was…' Yusuke thought for a second before remembering all who talked about him when he came to the guild one time. "Mystogan!"
Mystogan stopped and turned around, and widened his eyes a little as he recognized the person who called him. "Yusuke…"
"You...do have Jellal's face…" Yusuke said. He had remembered the time Erza talked to him after Laxus had tried taking over Fairy Tail, and that Mystogan confronted Laxus about the whole debacle. While he was there, the grandchild of Makarov had exposed Mystogan's identity to both Natsu and Erza in Cardia Cathedral, leaving a somewhat disturbed Erza in the end.
"I'm not the Jellal you know of...I'm someone entirely." Mystogan stated.
"I figured...what the hell happened here?"
"...you're not from Earthland, correct?" Mystogan asked.
"No, I'm not. We're not." Yusuke said, glancing back to Marissa and Ann. "But what does that have to do with my question?"
"Because I assume that what I'm about to say next will be believable."
"And what would that be?" Marissa asked.
"There is another world apart from Earthland...a parallel one." Mystogan answered.
"Another world…?!" Ann said with crossed arms.
"Yes… Edolas is its name. The Anima was too large this time for me to prevent...and as a result it has absorbed Magnolia as a whole…" Mystogan said, tightening his grip one of his staves.
"What do you mean absorbed?' Yusuke questioned.
"Unlike Earthland, Edolas has a limited magic supply, and they seek this world's magic to make use of it as their own."
"By taking the entire city?" Marissa asked.
"That's right...and if they succeed in doing so, then both Fairy Tail and Magnolia will never come back to normal." Mystogan looked Yusuke straight in the eye. "That's why right now I need to ask for you help, save them!"
"I want to Mystogan...but if Edolas really is in another world, then how do we get there?" Yusuke asked.
"Up there." The blue-haired man looked up, prompting the three Time Patrollers to look up as well. "The remains of the Anima is still there...but any longer and it will completely close up. It's now or never."
"So we just fly straight up there huh?" Ann asked next.
"Yes, and it should transport you to Edolas."
"Then that's where we're heading. Let's go." Without any second longer, white aura erupted around Yusuke, and he immediately rocketed towards the dark sky.
"Wait, Tarok!" Ann called out.
"Great...Ann, c'mon!" Marissa chased after her surrogate brother, leaving behind an irritated Ann.
"...Damn it all!" Ann cursed, and flew after the both of them.
Both women caught up to the male in a short matter of time, and all three of them were already high in the sky. There was a point where bright light was seen in their line of sight the closer they got. In a matter of mere moments, their entire vision was engulfed in a bright light.
Having his eyes closed currently, he cracked them open just a bit and saw some scenery through it. Now opening them fully, he made a sound of surprise seeing floating islands and a change in color of the sky all around him.
"Whoa…" He muttered.
"Holy crap, they got rivers in the middle of the air! How cool is that?!" Marissa exclaimed.
Ann however, was less than satisfied. She floated towards Yusuke and grabbed him by the collar of his gray jacket, locking eyes with him.
"You goddamned fool! What the hell were you thinking?!" Ann yelled.
"What are you talking about Ann?" Yusuke asked, slightly annoyed by her sudden outburst.
"Of all time's you go in without thinking...how the hell are we supposed to go back?! What's even worse, since the whole city was swallowed up, then that means the Dragonballs went along with it!"
Yusuke was left silent and averted his eyes away from the female Saiyan. "...sorry Ann. I…guess I didn't think that far ahead."
With a heavy sigh, Ann dropped her arms and turned around. "Let's find where everyone else is at quickly then. The sooner, the better."
"Hey, I see buildings over there." Marissa called out, pointing down below. When both Saiyans looked down, they confirmed the Earthling's observations.
"Better than nothing to start off I guess." Yusuke said, and began descending down towards it.
While dropping slowly, he and the other two Time Patrollers looked all around them at the different type of landscapes and scenery.
"It looks pretty lush." Marissa commented.
"Only at some parts...there are a few deserts around them." Ann said.
"I wonder if people are on those islands up there…" Yusuke idly said as he glanced up.
"We can't worry about that now...let's find any information we can find from the town below." Ann said.
The three Time Patrollers dropped down near the outskirts of the town Marissa pointed out when they first arrived, and they all looked at all the stone looking exterior buildings that looked liked they had stacks of blocks on top of each other, merging the edges but were still abstract looking. Almost all of them had small rectangular windows that looked liked they were built out of. They passed by simple bystanders as they explored. So far it seemed like everything was normal to them and that they haven't caught any suspicious looks yet, despite Ann's tail being expertly wrapped around her.
"Some weird looking buildings…" Marissa said as she looked around.
"Look, looks like those are guards." Ann pointed towards three soldiers that had stripped uniforms on them, headwear that covered their mouths and had lances as weapons.
"I'll go ask them some questions." Marissa volunteered and casually walked over to them while Yusuke and Ann stayed back.
"Jumping to other worlds...doesn't get old, does it?" Yusuke started.
"For you perhaps." Ann responded, crossing her arms. "I'm already growing tired of it."
"Let's see… this is the fifth world for me."
"Hmph...just four as of now." She uncaringly said. "I would say it's more than that, for the three of us. But the way time worked for us back in the Time Nest is complicated, I don't want to overthink it."
"You got a point...going back in time over and over again, you'd think that'd be a bad thing if we weren't trying to fix anything in the timeline." Yusuke said.
"Like I said, a pain to think about."
"Hey! Let me go!" Both Saiyans heard their friend's voice and turned their head towards her. When they did, they saw the guards holding both of her arms, and more of them showed up, surrounding her as they pointed their weapons at her.
'What the hell?" Yusuke muttered.
"Mari!" Ann ran over towards the group of guards, and the male immediately went after her with a slight sweatdrop.
"Contact Knightwalker we've secured a Fairy Tail member." One of them said.
Ann growled and knocked down a soldier to the ground. The moment she did, every other soldier nearby looked at her.
"Well?" Ann simply said, raising an eyebrow at Marissa.
"Fine, fine." Marissa rolled her eyes. With a small grin, she grabbed the arms of the soldiers that held her in place, and easily threw them at a wall of a building next to her.
"Get them! Don't let Fairy Tail escape!" A soldier shouted, and they began charging at Ann and Marissa.
Both female Time Patrollers flew in the air to avoid any more complications, and Yusuke joined them. As the three looked down, the soldiers below looked up with shocked faces.
"They can fly?!"
"Since when?!"
"Let's get out of here, this isn't helping at all." Yusuke said.
"You got that right…" Marissa said.
"What happened anyway?" Ann asked.
"I dunno, I was asking them what town this was and all of a sudden they asked about the Fairy Tail mark on my arm…" Marissa explained, outstretching her right arm. "Then they just grabbed me."
"Look! It's her Legion!" A soldier cried out, catchin the other Time Patroller's attention.
"Legion? What are they talking about?" Marissa asked.
"...I think it has something to do with that." Ann said, after spotting a soldier pointing in the air and looking behind them. When Yusuke and Marissa followed her sight, they saw a large flying animal with a dark turquoise shade of fur and two horns. It flew down at a fast rate, and as it did so, Marissa caught sight of someone on it.
"Someone's riding it…" Marissa said, squinting her eyes a bit. She made a small sound of surprise when the figure jumped up and away from the flying animal, and began diving down.
Silfarion!
'...that voice!' Yusuke widened his eyes when he saw scarlet hair flutter wildly from behind the figure.
"...isn't that…" Marissa started but was interrupted by the oncoming attack that was directed towards them, and they all moved out of the way.
When they looked down, they saw the women land in front of the large group of soldiers unharmed, and disbelievingly observed the red hair that flowed down on her back.
"Hmph...since when did the people of Fairy Tail have the ability to fly in the air?" The women with the exact same voice of Erza turned around to look up at the three Time Patrollers.
"It is Erza…!" Marissa exclaimed.
"She looks...different…" Ann muttered.
'...That's...not her…' Yusuke thought, and narrowed his eyes. The Erza they were all looking at the moment had her hair tied to a messy ponytail with her right eye covered by a bang and left strands of her hair flow freely on both side of her face. She wore a black bra with silver designs on it that greatly showed off her cleavage, a long blue scarf wrapped around her neck and black gauntlets that reached above her elbows. Her lower clothing consisted of a leather belt held a white piece of cloth in place that covered her upper left thigh and two pieces of flat, winged shaped pieces of armor behind her legs. Finishing off her appearance, two armor leggings were donned on her legs and she wielded a large spear that currently had a triangular shaped head.
"Can't be all that bad, can it?" Marissa offhandedly said.
"No...this isn't Erza. Not the one we know at least. Her energy is different." Yusuke stated.
"Is it?"
"It is...even I can tell from the little time we've known her." Ann responded.
"I didn't know some members of Fairy Tail were foolish enough to approach the Kingdom, let alone brave enough to leave that annoying guild of yours." Knightwalker said. The smirk she gave off stirred something within Yusuke, and he did not enjoy it one bit, and he floated to the ground.
"H-Hey… Bro?"
"Tarok…"
The moment Yusuke landed on the stone ground, soldiers immediately surrounded and pointed their weapons at him. He didn't move, and the Erza lookalike walked towards the front, taking a closer look at him.
"...this is the first time I'm seeing you. Are you really a member of Fairy Tail?" Knightwalker asked with narrowed eyes.
"Yeah, I am." Yusuke answered, pulling back the left sleeve of his gray jacket and showed off his Fairy Tail mark.
"Then all the more reason we cannot let you go. Fire!" Knightwalker's command prompted the soldiers in the vicinity to fire off their rifle looking weapons, shooting out a substance that wrapped around Yusuke, sticking onto him.
The soldiers aimed upwards towards Ann and Marissa, and fired off the same material that was used on Yusuke. Unfortunately the ammunition was wasted when both females simply dodged and phased away.
"Tarok, I think it's time go now!" Ann called out.
Yusuke struggled a little before growling and breaking apart the holdings on him with raw strength, catching Knightwalker and the soldiers around them off guard. He looked at Knightwalker just briefly before flying into the air, joining Marissa and Ann.
"Tch...I won't let Fairy Tail escape again!" Knightwalker growled, and ran to her Legion, immediately hopping on top of it and flew to meet the same height as the Time Patrollers above the town.
"Let's get out of here before it gets out of hand." Marissa said, and flew off.
"Stop gawking Tarok.." Ann followed behind Marissa a moment later.
Mel Force!
Yusuke looked to see Knightwalker closing in by herself after she had jumped away from her Legion again. As she was nearing the Saiyan, Yusuke phased out just as she fired off a vacuum wave from her spear. He appeared just above her, outstretching a hand that aimed down at her and fired off a force with his Ki, knocking her back. Knightwalker felt the impact and would have crashed down to the ground if her Legion hadn't gotten in her way. Struggling, but managing to look up, she looked just in time to see Yusuke fly off in high speeds in the direction the other two Time Patrollers went.
Knightwalker clenched a fist and gritted her teeth, seething that Fairy Tail had gotten away once more. But one thing that lingered in her mind after calming down a bit, were they really from the same Fairy Tail guild she had been chasing after all this time?
After flying away from the town of Sycca, Marissa, Ann and Yusuke were currently high in the sky, still moving in the air.
"Holy crap, who would've known that would happen." Marissa said.
"It's definitely not another part of Earthland for sure...Tarok, that wasn't really Erza, was it?" Ann asked, but received no response. Immediately growing irritated, she looked back at him. "Hey!"
"Huh?" Yusuke looked ahead to meet Ann's eyes.
"I asked you a question."
"What is it?" He asked, and Ann felt her eye twitch.
"That wasn't Erza, was it?"
"It...was her but not her. She wasn't at the level of the Erza we know." Yusuke answered.
"Alright...so that was a different Erza...well considering what the Mystogan guy said that this is a parallel world, I guess it makes sense." Marissa said. "...though who knew she'd be a bad person."
"I wouldn't say bad is the right word...more like an enemy here." Ann said.
"That's just as worse…what do you think Bro?" Marissa called out, but received the same treatment as Ann when she didn't get an answer. Raising an eyebrow, she looked over at him to see him staring ahead. "Uh...Earth to Yusuke, hello…!"
"Not on Earth Mari…" Ann deadpanned.
"You know what I mean." Marissa playfully stuck her tongue out. "Hey! Bro!"
"Yeah?" Yusuke answered, bringing him out of his thoughts of confusion and the events that had happened not too long ago. It didn't ease him of the fact that Erza was going against them in Edolas, but the bright side to it is that she wasn't the same Erza back on Earthland.
"You alright?" Marissa questioned.
"I am. Just...wondering what the hell is going on right now." He sighed.
"Hey, being in a different world can do that… uh, when did the scenery change?" Marissa looked below, seeing that they were above a large dessert and away from the nearby forests and bundle of mountains.
"I guess the environment on this planet is random in most places…" Ann said.
"Yeah...just look at that big plant in the middle of all that sand." Marissa laughed, spotting a large green sprout down below.
"...I think that's something else." Yusuke pointed out, squinting his eyes a bit.
"What? Next thing you know it'll grow all the way up to the sky with a little kid climbing on it?" Marissa joked.
"Not a bad story...but I think Tarok is right. Even if the natural setting here is unusual to us, something like that isn't logical out here." Ann said.
"Let's go check it out then." Yusuke said, diving down towards the unusual plant.
Both females followed suit, and as they got closer and closer, they were able to make out the shape of it. The color of course, was green and it had two spiraling roots sprouting upwards as part of the shape. That was the only thing that really stood out as the base of the building simply held the roots up.
The Time Patrollers landed behind it, and was surprised to feel energy signatures near it.
"There's people inside…" Marissa said.
"There must be a way in then." Ann began walking around the stalking plant. Yusuke and Marissa followed her after taking in the designs of the sprout.
When both surrogate siblings watched Ann suddenly stop, they raised their eyebrows in curiosity and walked up to her.
"What's wrong?" Yusuke asked, and his rival simply pointed a finger up ahead. His eyes followed ahead and gasped when he saw the front of the plant-like building. "It's…"
"H-Hey...it's...it's Fairy Tail...right?" Marissa stammered.
All three Time Patrollers looked disbelievingly at the entrance of the building where a banner with the Fairy Tail insignia was tied against sprouts that shaped out to look like a heart, and the worse "Fairy Tail" were painted above the wooden double door.
"It is…" Yusuke muttered. He swallowed a lump in his throat nervously and steeled himself when he decided to walk up to the double doors.
He opened the double doors slowly and walked inside, widening his eyes and briefly looked around. Marissa and Ann walked up behind him, and gave off the same reaction.
"Juvia wait! Please! Let me go along with you!" A Gray pleaded… who was wearing an absurd amount of clothing on himself
"I said no! How many times do I have to tell you?!" A Juvia said, irritated, and walked away leaving the Gray sulking.
"Ya sure you don't wanna have a drink with us Cana?" A Macao with glasses asked behind him with a Wakaba sitting across from him.
"I said before I dislike alcohol...so no thank you." A Cana declined politely. She wore a dress and a sunhat that basically shouted innocence.
"Uh…" Marissa looked around speechless.
"Tarok...I...don't think this is the Fairy Tail we're looking for…" Ann carefully whispered.
Yusuke carefully observed around some more. He spotted Jet and Droy wearing clothing that could qualify them as "bad boys." Levy who was walking around yelling at some people in a rather tight red dress. A Max and Warren having a conversation with each other… the only thing that was weird about that is that they were talking in some type of elegance.
Another person he saw that he wasn't used to was a sniffling Elfman that had a bowl cut hair style, sitting alone at a table. Though someone else approached and comforted him by rubbing his back. It was a female who had short lengthed white hair that reached down just on the nape of her neck, and she also had blue eyes. Her appearance very much resembled to a certain She-Demon that crossed Yusuke's mind.
"Oh hello, can we help you?" A familiar voice asked.
Yusuke was brought out of his observations when he looked to the side, widening his eyes when he saw Mirajane.
"Mira…" Yusuke breathed out.
"U-Uhm...do we know each other?" She took a step back, somewhat surprised he knew her name. Her reaction surprised him a little, and the other two Time Patrollers looked at each other with a surprised look as well.
The small exchange between the two caught the attention of the rest of the guild, and soon the otherworldly beings were being crowded up.
"Who are they?"
"Some more weird people showing up…"
"...they're not part of the Royal Army are they?"
"Move it everyone!" Levy called out, walking up to the front of the crowd with Droy and Jet behind her. "That damn Lucy...now I gotta do this."
"So who are you people?" Jet asked with crossed arms.
"Try anything then you might regret it." Droy stated.
"...you cocky bastard." Ann's eyebrow twitched and she stepped forward hooking back an arm. "I'll show you something to regret later on!"
"A-Ann! Wait!" Marissa hugged her from behind and held her back. "W-We're not here to fight! Swear!"
Yusuke sweatdropped and quietly sighed to himself. He looked at Levy and couldn't help but scratch the back of his head from how this version of Levy was compared to the one he knew.
"Well...I guess I'll start by saying that my name is Yusuke." The male Saiyan introduced and looked back at the other two that were with him. "That's Ann...the one who is pretty ecstatic right about now. And behind her is Marissa."
"Hey there…" Marissa nervously chuckled, greeting everyone else and relaxed when Ann stopped struggling.
"Hmph." Ann acknowledged them, and freed herself from Marissa's hold.
"And what business do you guys have with us?" Levy asked next, placing her hands on her hips in authority.
"How could I explain this…" Yusuke contemplated with a mixed expression, trying to figure out how to say their situation without sounding like someone crazy. "We're...also part of Fairy Tail."
"Hah? We've never even seen you guys before."
"No, maybe not this Fairy Tail, but...another one."
Yusuke's answered caused the people that were already in the building to look at each other.
"By any chance, are you related to a Natsu and Wendy that came by here earlier? Along with two cats?" Edo Mirajane asked.
"They were here?" Yusuke asked.
"Yeah. I'm guessing you lot are from Earthland too right?" Levy asked.
"We are…" Marissa answered, walking up to stand next to Yusuke. "They're not here."
"No…" Yusuke turned his head towards a direction. "I feel them all the way over there though."
"If they're not here then there's no use staying. Let's head out." Ann suggested and began walking towards the doors.
"Wait! You're not really going to do the same thing as they, are you?!" Edo Gray exclaimed.
"What would that be?" Yusuke asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Your guys' Natsu explained that the Fairy Tail over in Earthland has been sucked up. By the Royal Army to be exact." Edo Levy explained.
"That's basically why we came here in the first place. We came to save our friends." Marissa said.
"Then you really are planning on what they intend to do." Edo Juvia spoke, stepping up. "I don't know what you people are thinking, but you're better off going back to where you came from if you value your life."
"You're saying this Royal Army is that dangerous?" Ann asked, turning around.
"Nobody stands in the way of the King and his men. They're just that powerful." Edo Elfman meekly answered.
"We've explained this to your friends earlier but magic isn't something we can freely use in this world anymore...ever since then the Kingdom declared that all magic guilds to be disbanded. Some have resisted, but they fell to the hands of the Army… more specifically the Fairy Hunter. Erza Knightwalker." Edo Mira explained.
"Erza?!" Marissa exclaimed.
"That explains why she attacked us…" Ann commented.
"You guys ran into Erza?" Edo Droy asked, and received nods from all three Time Patrollers.
"How did you get away?" Edo Macao asked.
"We flew." Marissa answered simply, and floated in the air, surprising everyone else.
"Whoa…"
"Is this part of Earthland magic…?"
"Well, actually-!" Marissa started to explain, but was yanked down by Yusuke.
"Now's not the time Kid. We need to get moving. We appreciate your concerns but, we're set on what we came here to do...where's the Royal Army exactly?" Yusuke asked.
There was a stunned silence of the people processing of their ability to fly, as well as Yusuke's question. Just then, the girl with short white hair Yusuke saw earlier came up to them.
"They're at the capital, which is East of here. Walking distance...it'll take you five days." She said.
"Good thing it'll take us less then." Ann said.
"Thanks…" Yusuke said, but didn't leave immediately as he observed the younger girl in front of him. "If you don't mind me asking, but could I get for your name?"
"Huh? Oh...it's Lisanna." Lisanna introduced.
"Lisanna huh…younger sister to Mira and Elfman right?"
"Y-Yes...that's right."
"...thanks again for the help Lisanna. We'll get out here now. Let's go." Yusuke turned around and went ahead and walked out of the entrance with the two female Time Patrollers following just behind him.
"Lead the way Bro." Marissa said.
"We'll find Natsu and Wendy first...then we can plan from there." Yusuke said as he floated in the air. Bringing out his white aura, he headed northeast.
Marissa and Ann's aura were brought out as well and they immediately followed after Yusuke.
Unbeknownst to them, the Fairy Tail of Edolas all watched the three Time Patrollers fly and travel in the air with shocked expressions.
"They really can fly…"
"...that's pretty cool actually."
"Earthland looks like they got some neat stuff."
"I can't believe the Fairy Tail over there can be this reckless… they won't really stand up to the King...will they?" Edo Wendy said.
"It doesn't matter… it doesn't involve us so let them be. I'm tired of all this talk about the Kingdom for the day…" Edo Max said.
"You said it...I'd rather do something else in the meantime." Edo Warren said.
Lisanna couldn't help but overhear them, and she looked down with a saddened look. However, the tiniest of smiles creeped up on her face from the description of them being reckless. One question was formed in her head when she looked up again.
'It sounds like a lot has changed...but...who were they exactly?'
Hope you all enjoyed! Getting right into the Edolas arc!
