WHEELP HERE I AM! I really cannot say sorry enough times now can I? Damn it actually took me over 2 months to finish this damn chapter, but I gotta say that this is pretty much my longest chapter up to this point, breaking at about 17,000 words.
WHEW!
But, at the same time while typing all this out is of course, my god damn nemesis... College. BUT THE SEMESTER IS WRAPPING UP IN JUST 2 WEEKS! YAY!
I ain't going crazy, trust me on that. But I've been putting effort into this chapter as much as possible. Thank you to those wondering where I am, but I AIN'T DEAD. Least not yet. Of course this story will get an update... once in awhile. Hopefully the summer will be kind to me.
But onto reviews!
.
"Shadow Joestar": Right you are! But things are heating up in this next chapter! What will happen?!
Guest Reviewer "Roeequaza": It's been awhile, thank you!
Guest Reviewer "fairy saiyan": Sorry for the hold up! But here it is! Hope you enjoy, and thank you for the review! Hope you get fired up even more!
"Elvizfonz23": Howdy mate! Thank's for the review! Hope you enjoy this chapter!
"CobraAssassin": Thanks! DBH can be a bit gimmicky, or out of the top with all the ridiculous transformations and such. But it does feature the Time Breakers which I appreciate, and it helps keep this story going with new ideas of what to write about. Hope you enjoy this chapter!
"devo3333100": I... don't know where you've been reading but Ann has been in these last few chapters. As for Arc and more OCs, they'll be coming in the future.
Guest Reviewer "SSGSS Sitaris": Thank you for the review and being so patient! I really do apologize about the lateness but I hope the length and plot of this chapter pleases you! I've listened to Enigma in the past, and I do like his works, especially his SSJG Vegeta theme. Currently listening to HalusaTwin though, they're just as good! As for Yusuke and deciding on his transformations, I'd have time go God form(winkwink).
Guest (1): Definitely not! I'll never lose inspiration for this story! And it'll keep on going! Haha thanks for the review! I enjoyed reading it!
.
That's all there is to. Hope you all enjoy! Please don't forget to leave a review!
Onward!
Metal clashed against each other inside a room of the royal castle. Two women dashed against each other, having the intent to cut the other down.
Both Earthland's and Edolas' Erza collided their blade and spearhead against each other, respectively. They both clenched their teeth, glaring at one another before pulling back.
Scarlet, donning in her Thunder Empress Armor, yelled as she aimed her own spear at Knightwalker charging at her. Her counterpart mimicked her, aiming her Ten Commandments, which was currently in its Silfarion form, and charged at her counterpart with a yell of her own.
The head of their spears scrapped each other as both women passed one another.
Erza's body glowed as she appeared in her Flight Armor once more with her two rapier-like weapons in both her hands. She dashed towards Knightwalker, bringing up one of her arms to swing at her.
Knightwalker brought up her spear up to block Scarlet's attack, their eyes meeting again up close.
"You won't succeed!" Knightwalker managed to get out.
"We have to, Fairy Tail is our family and we'll stop you no matter what!" Erza leaped away with a backflip.
While Scarlet was still off the ground, Knightwalker took the opportunity to attack with her spear still in its current Silfarion form. However the moment the Captain neared her counterpart was the same moment that the Fairy Tail mage saw her closing in. Knightwalker yelled and went to stab Erza, however gasped as she saw her counterpart disappear right in front of her.
"Where-?!" Knightwalker blinked once.
"Behind you!" Erza shouted, and the Captain instantly spun around to attack with her spear.
With how close they are, Erza blocked Knightwalker's attack with her forearm, connecting to the area between the head of the spear and Knightwalker's hands. Erza grunted and attacked her counterpart with a knee to the stomach. Letting out a breathless scream, Knightwalker clutched her stomach and walked back with widened eyes. Scarlet shouted as she charged once more and punched Knightwalker right in her cheek, staggering her.
Knightwalker gritted her teeth all the while confused. However, she gained enough sense to stand upright, and held her guard up against Erza again.
Erza allowed her arms to rest by her side. The weapons in both of her hands glowed before disappearing, returning to her pocket dimension, and she clenched her fists. With the help of her Flight armor Erza let out a breath, and dashed forward, appearing right in front of Knightwalker.
Before Knightwalker could react, Erza landed a punch forward towards her counterparts abdomen again, pushing her away. With the distance created between them, Knightwalker took the opportunity to change the form on her spear again and pointed it towards Erza.
MEL FORCE!
The head on Knightwalker's weapon began to glow in power, and she leaped forward at Scarlet to let out a vacuum wave.
However, Erza jumped the same moment Knightwalker did towards her, and extending out her right arm, Ki blinking in her palm.
Both Erza's clashed in their respective attacks, the force cracking the ground underneath them. Knightwalker's blast dissipated first, and then Scarlet's.
'She canceled it…?!' Knightwalker thought, widening eyes.
"Haah!" Erza spun her body around to kick her Edolas counterpart on the side of her head, crashing Knightwalker into a wall. She looked towards where she kicked her opponent, waiting for the dust to clear.
When the dust cleared at the crash site, Erza saw Knightwalker unconscious, lying on the ground on her front. She walked over to her counterpart's body, and her body glowed back into her Heart Kreuz armor along the way.
Upon arriving, Erza looked down at the Captain, sighing and crossing her arms.
'I didn't think I would knock her out… I needed information to get everyone back…' As Erza kept her eye on Knightwalker, her eyes narrowed in thought before it widened with an idea in her head.
Erza's body glowed once more so that she was in nothing but wearing a bra and panties. She looked towards the clothing Knightwalker had on. Eyeing at her current hairstyle with a string tied on it, her bra, and the armor she had, Erza grinned to herself.
Black thunder tore apart the stone walls of the royal castle. From one area to another, Marissa flew back from the impact of Gravy's attack, her arms crossed in front of her.
The Time Breaker himself followed after the Time Patroller while swinging down his hammer. While Marissa nearly dodged the direct impact, she wasn't far enough to avoid any collateral damage. She screamed out from the power Gravy used, debris hitting her and colliding against another wall. Her breath left her as she collapsed on the ground, coughing a second later and struggled to get up.
"It's over!" Gravy shouted, jumping and spinning his hammer to deliver the final blow to Marissa.
... times twenty…!
The ground around Marissa cracked, and she forced her body to move to dodge Gravy's attack. Moving around behind him, the Earthling spun to kick Gravy on the side. The Time Breaker staggered to the side from her kick, but regained enough sense to swing his hammer once more at her, but made a sound of surprise not hitting anything.
"HAAH!" Marissa roared, both of her hands slamming down on Gravy's head, causing him to crash onto the ground. Landing next to him, she placed an arm behind his head and started charging Ki. She yelled, releasing an energy blast point blank, the ground underneath them collapsing from her power.
Marissa kicked at Gravy while he was falling, only making him fall down faster. Both fighters came into another hallway, this time with the ground having black and white squares, similar to that of a checker board. While the Earthling safely landed on her feet, Gravy fell hard with the debris towards the ground.
The dark red aura around Marissa faded away for a moment, allowing her to relax. She kept her eye on the Time Breaker before hearing a groan coming from him. Gravy slowly stood, keeping a hand on his head, and shook it from side to side to wipe away any fatigue on him. Opening his eyes, he looked directly at Marissa.
"It's surprising for a human from Earth to have this much strength." Gravy commented.
"I'm with the Time Patrol. I have to be strong." Marissa stated bluntly.
"Even so, you have a limit." Gravy outstretched his right arm with an open hand. His hammer arrived by his will, and he gripped the handle. "I wonder how you will last."
"Long enough to take you down!" Marissa readied herself, bringing up her arms.
Running footsteps could be heard by both otherworldly beings as their ears perked up. At the same time, their eyes fully scanned the surroundings around them, their eyes leaving one another for the first time. It was only then that they noticed they arrived back in the amusement park they were in before.
'Bro and Ann aren't in here anymore…' Marissa thought, sensing the other fighters outside of the city. Directing her senses closer to her, she noticed a certain Celestial mage coming towards them. 'Lucy…?'
As if on cue, screaming from the blonde could be heard from a nearby building in the amusement park, and both Time Travellers eyed towards that direction. She was wearing different clothing than last time she saw her, Marissa noted. Instead of the blouse and skirt he wore previously, Lucy was now wearing a dark teal bikini with a long skirt that covered her entire legs. A belt wrapped around her skirt to keep it in place, and he now wore blue armbands on her upper arm and silver bracelets.
"Ahh! All of you get away from me!" Lucy screamed out, and both fighters saw her running out of an entrance of a building with her eyes closed.
'... but there's nothing but her.' Marissa sweatdropped a bit, but blinked and her eyes snapped towards Gravy. But it wasn't him that she was directly looking at, it was another girl that was running a ways away behind him with light brown hair and wore a green hat with loose bunny-like fabric ears. In her arms, she was clutching a large key.
"Ah!" The short girl that was running down the other side of the hallway bumped into the Time Breaker, falling on the ground. Opening her eyes, she looked up to what was blocking her way, and gasped in fear to see Gravy looking down at her.
The small girl tried scampering away, but the blood on her legs from an injury she must have suffered from before hindered her. Her face winced in pain, unable to escape.
"What a nuisance." Gravy's left hand faced the small girl, and black static appeared.
"HAH!" Marissa, in her dark red aura, tackled Gravy away in time from killing the small girl under him. He skidded away from them, and growled irritably at the Earthling.
"Huh?" Lucy stopped running as she heard Marissa shout, and looked to see her standing in front of the small girl collapsed on the ground.
"Are you okay?" Marissa softly asked, glancing down at the girl she just saved.
"Y-Yeah… thank you." She said, fighting back her tears, and continued holding the key in her arms.
"What's your name?"
"C-Coco…"
Marissa looked behind her to see Lucy watching them, and looked back down at Coco with a small smile. "That's Lucy over there, and she's a good friend of mine. You should go to her, she'll take care of you."
Coco was reluctant of what Marissa suggested to her. Her body relaxed looking up at Marissa, but she looked over at Lucy's face of wonder, and she clutched the key tighter against her body.
'They're from Earthland… should I really trust them…?! W-What should I do?!' Coco frantically thought, her eyes shaking.
"Coco!" A voice was heard from afar, behind Gravy once more.
The girls that were present looked to see a short old man with royal clothing hastily running towards them, but stopped, just passing Gravy and stood in between him and Marissa, panting.
"The King has had enough patience Coco! Hand over the Key!" Byro demanded.
"I…!" Coco used her legs to back away, but hissed in pain, forgetting that they were badly wounded.
Marissa brought an arm up in defense. "If you want to get her, then you're gonna have to get past me."
"Hehe… as expected of such Time Patrollers, protecting those that need help." Gravy voiced out, slamming his hammer down. "Do you really think you'll be able to make that promise to that girl if you're also dealing with me?"
"Tch…" Marissa clenched her teeth.
Just then, Lucy came up next to Marissa, and she looked over to the blonde with a curious gaze.
"There's two of us and two of you. How hard will that be?" Lucy grinned, bringing up a golden key.
OPEN! GATE OF THE GOLDEN BULL: TAURUS!
In flash of golden light, Taurus appeared in front of Lucy.
"Moo~! That outfit looks great on you Lucy~!" Taurus complemented on Lucy's revealing look, causing both Fairy Tail members to sweatdrop.
'This is Earthland magic…? It looks cool but...perverted at the same time….' Coco inwardly commented.
'What just happened? She created something just out of thin air! That's impossible!' Byro screeched in his head, wide-eyed at the spirit.
Right beside the Celestial mage, the ground cracked, and Lucy shielded herself from the sudden winds.
Marissa's dark red aura erupted around her, keeping up in her Kaioken state of power.
'W-What is she doing? It feels overwhelming…!' Coco thought, wide-eyed.
'These Earthlander bunch are just full of surprises…' Byro thought, taking a step back from the force of power.
"Lucy, I'm leaving that geezer for you to handle." Marissa said, crouching to a stance with both of her arms up in front of her.
"We got this no problem!" Lucy announced.
"I wish I could say the same…" Marissa muttered, and placed two fingers to her forehead.
In a flash, the Earthling was right behind Gravy. Bringing back an arm, Marissa launched a punch towards the enemy, only for the Time Breaker to move and catch her wrist.
At the same time, Taurus went to attack Byro as of Lucy's request, but the elderly man was able to avoid a direct hit despite his looks. Reaching behind him, Byro pulled out a vial with the cork on it already off. He threw red liquid that was already inside of it at Taurus, and a moment later, the spirit was engulfed in flames. Taurus collapsed on the ground, unconscious, surprising Lucy.
Gravy shouted and threw Marissa against the wall. She gasped in pain, and was stuck.
"Now stay still!" Gravy roared as he pulled his hammer back and swung it at Marissa.
'Shit…! C'mon, move!' Marissa struggled to lift her arm up that was currently stuck within the wall, as well as the rest of her body. She watched wide-eyed, unable to do anything as Gravy's hammer connected to her body, slamming her through the wall.
Right after Marissa powered up that instant.
Large debris skipped on the checkered floor with Marissa amidst in it, her aura dissipating as she rolled across the ground. Attempting to get up, the Earthling vomited out blood from her mouth, and held her stomach in pain with clenched teeth and closed eyes. Her eyelids opened up a bit, only to see Gravy marching towards her with a grin.
"If only that did more damage to you. Doesn't matter, you die here!" Gravy announced, raising his hammer.
Marissa looked up at the Time Breaker as his weapon went over his head to strike down at her. Keeping her teeth clenched, her eyes closed in pain, waiting for his strike.
Except it never came.
"Wha-AH!" Gravy's voice became distant in Marissa's ears, and she opened her eyes in surprise.
"H-Huh?" Marissa looked wide-eyed to see a large hole where Gravy was standing. All of a sudden, the ground under her expanded, and she also fell in a hole.
Marissa yelped until a pair of arms caught her shortly after she entered, and the Earthling saw Virgo carrying her.
They both appeared on top of a surface again where Lucy was waiting for them.
"Thank goodness you're alright!" Lucy said in relief, running towards Virgo carrying Marissa.
"What just happened…?" Marissa asked bewilderedly, and managed to stand on her feet after Virgo let her down..
"Virgo is able to dig holes really fast, I saw what happened and figured you needed help."
"Thanks… if it weren't for your spirit I would have been dead." Marissa took a step forward, only to wince and clutch her stomach with an arm.
"A-Are you okay…?" Lucy asked, not ignoring the blood that was already on the Earthling.
"I'll be fine…" Marissa said, trying to steady her breathing.
"U-Uhm…"
Lucy and Marissa looked over to hear Coco's timid voice. The small girl was walking over to them while the large Key was still in her arms.
"Both of you… Thank you…" Coco thanked, a smile on her face.
"Hey, it was no problem." Lucy closed an eye and gave a thumbs up.
"You took care of that old man?" Marissa asked the blonde.
"Yup! It wasn't that hard." Lucy answered.
Marissa narrowed her eyes, and saw a tentacle crawl out of a hole that was near Coco. "Look out!"
Dashing forward, Marissa moved Coco away and the tentacle reached for Marissa, wrapping around her waist and lifting her up in the air.
The ground cracked underneath and from below, a large humanoid octopus emerged itself from the ground with the face of the old man that had appeared looking for the brown-haired girl, cackling while looking down at Lucy and Coco.
"W-What is that?!" Lucy shrieked, wide-eyed as she looked up at Byro.
"Hehe… Octopus liquid… I drank it myself. Now your strange magic will have no affect on me! ...hm?" Byro looked at who was in his tentacle, and after spotting Coco down below, he looked closer at the squirming Earthling.
"Ugh! This is so disgusting!" Marissa shouted, moving around and freed her arms.
"You're not Coco…" Byro lifted up the tentacle that held Marissa, and attempted to throw her on the ground.
The Earthling freed herself by lifting her body up. Managing to grab ahold of the tentacle that held her, Marissa stopped Byro from smashing the ground below them, and threw the tentacle back at him.
"You little…!" Byro snarled, and swung at Marissa with multiple tentacles.
Marissa swayed her body to maneuver against Byro's tentacles in the air. At one point, she began moving even faster to the point where she disappeared right before Byro would reach her, and appeared at another spot in the air.
"S-She's so fast…" Coco observed above, continuing to watch Marissa evade.
"At this point, I'm not surprised." Lucy muttered with relief.
"Hiya!" Marissa shouted, appearing in front of Byro's face and kicked it away.
Byro's large body moved away from Marissa's kick, and his face was scrunched up in pain from the impact.
As Marissa grinned at Byro with her hands on her hips, she went on alert as she saw a figure jump up from behind Byro, and could clearly see it was Gravy with his hammer overhead.
"Ragh!" Gravy shouted as he slammed his hammer down in the middle of the air, almost as if he slammed it on solid ground. Black thunder appeared around his hammer and traveled towards Marissa at a frightening speed.
Marissa crossed both arms in front of her, and the Time Breaker's attack struck her, forcing her back down on the ground.
The Earthling crashed on her back and winced. She sensed Gravy appear right in front of her and looked to see him swinging his weapon down.
"Kaioken…!" Marissa strained to say through her teeth. Red aura erupted around Marissa and she caught Gravy's hammer that was behind the head, no doubt wanting to end it all by impaling her.
… TIMES TWENTY-TWO!
The Time Patroller shouted, and she flipped her body with her legs first, kicking the hammer out of Gravy's hands away from everybody else. Rolling back, she was able to swiftly crouch on a knee, only to launch her body up and uppercut Gravy on his chin, staggering him back.
The Time Breaker stumbled back, and Marissa leaped forward to punch at his stomach. Gravy let out a pained groan but held his ground, and caught Marissa's arm with both of his hands.
"Do not underestimate me you little girl!" Gravy snarled.
"I never was you blue lipstick wearing freak!" Marissa yelled…
...and kicked the Time Breaker in between his legs.
Gravy let out a silent scream, his eyes bulging out of his sockets. His hold on Marissa loosened and he slowly stepped back, his mouth agaped. Almost robotically, his hands went towards his crotch and he gritted his teeth in pain, as well as shutting his watering eyes.
Marissa smirked and cupped her hands to the right side of her body.
KA…!
ME…!
Bright blue Ki formed in between Marissa's palms as it slowly expanded into a moderate size sphere that was a little bigger than her hands.
HA…!
ME…!
The Ki in Marissa's palms glowed even more brightly that mesmerized Coco and Lucy from behind.
Gravy regained enough sense to look at Marissa's next attack. He grunted and brought up his arms with open hands, and dark Ki charged within them with black static. He roared and thrusted his arms as Ki waves fired off from both of his hands towards Marissa.
HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA…!
At the same time, Marissa brought her arms forward towards Gravy, releasing her own Ki wave to clash against the Time Breaker's attack.
Blue energy fought against black energy in between the Time Patroller and Time Breaker that greatly reduced the walls and ground around the point in the middle.
The power caught Byro off guard, who was still recovering from Marissa's kick earlier a couple minutes prior to Gravy's reappearance.
Lucy and Coco shielded themselves with their arms from the clash of power, the winds flapping their hair and clothes. All the while Virgo was still standing by Lucy's side, she was ready able to move if anything were to happen to the two girls beside her.
Marissa let out an echoed shout, and she forced out more of her Ki into her attack. More of her blood pumped through her veins from the strain of her power up as she did so, and her attack pushed back Gravy's.
"I've told you not to-!"
...KAIO-KEN TIMES TWENTY FOUR!
The dark red aura surrounding the Earthling expanded past behind her, moving the opposite way of her Kamehameha Wave. Marissa's attack grew considerably in an instant at the same moment, and took over the struggle between herself and her opponent.
Gravy looked wide-eyed as Marissa's attack drew closer to him a just mere moments, and soon, he was engulfed in bright light. He screamed in pain, and was lifted off the ground, travelling along with Marissa's attack.
From the outside of the castle, an energy wave was pierced out of a building with various broken holes already present on it. The attack traveled outwards, and arched above the city, away from it.
Marissa panted heavily as she watched the dust all around her settle down. Sensing that the Time Breaker was no where near her, she relaxed and collapsed on her hands and knees, taking in large breaths of air.
Lucy ran over to the Earthling and knelt down beside her. Behind her, Virgo was walking towards the duo while Coco cautiously followed after.
"Are you okay?" Lucy asked worryingly.
"Yeah…" Marissa panted. She lifted her body up so that she was only on her knees, but as she did so, she hugged her body and her face winced, pain shooting through her.
"It doesn't look like it…"
"It's just the after effects of using the Kaio-Ken technique… I'm mostly used to it by now. Well, at least, the lower levels of it."
"That was incredible… it's amazing how much magic power she has…" Coco said, came walking up just behind Marissa and Lucy.
"... I don't use magic." Marissa answered simply, while standing up.
Coco was about to react until the ground shook. A shadow loomed over them, and instinctively, Marissa and Virgo jumped, grabbing Coco and Lucy respectively, to safety.
The ground broke apart where they were previously at, and the four girls looked to see a large tentacle bring lifted off the floor.
Above them, Byro was staring down at the girls, and was peeved that he had missed the chance to subdue them after being recovered from Marissa's previous assault on him.
"And then there's this freak." Marissa growled.
"At this point, I will do whatever it takes to get that key Coco! Everyone else can perish!" Byro boomed, and aimed a tentacle towards Marissa and Coco.
Marissa jumped in the air again with Coco in her arms, and away from Byro's reach as he smashed the ground again.
"Why does he want that key? Why is it so important?' Marissa asked the girl she was holding.
"I-It's… u-uhm…" Coco hesitated in answering Marissa's question, and looked away.
Marissa looked ahead once more to see Byro going to attack her once more, and she went ahead and used Instant Transmission to teleport herself and Coco to where Lucy and Virgo were currently standing.
"This guy is getting on my nerves." Marissa muttered.
"Then we gotta stop him." Lucy stated.
"Princess, unfortunately, there's nothing I'm able to do against an opponent of that size." Virgo stated, bowing her head slightly towards Lucy.
"A-Are you sure about that…?' Lucy uneasily asked.
"However, please take this." From behind her, Virgo took out a small handle with a small rope attached at the bottom of it with a small star dangling from it.
"What is this…?" Lucy grabbed the item from Virgo.
"It is your new extending whip Princess. The Fleuve D'etoiles of the Eridanus Constellation from the Celestial Spirit World. Until next time Princess." With that, Virgo vanished in a plume of smoke, leaving the other three girls alone.
Gripping the handle of the whip in her hand, Lucy extended her hand out and a stream of water that appeared to be solid came out of the handle. "Marissa, please help me!"
"Heh, you got it." Marissa said, her lips curving upward.
Another one of Byro's tentacles made its way down onto them, and Marissa leaped up to stop it from completely smashing the ground.
Lucy threw her arm up, the solid water on her whip wrapping around the tentacle that the Earthling had in her hands, and she swung herself so that she landed on top of it. The mage began to run up towards Byro. Off to the side of her, Lucy caught other tentacles travelling towards her within her sight, and she used her whip again so that it wrapped another one of the tentacles above her, and she swung her body again to evade.
'She looks pretty cool doing that.' Marissa inwardly commented in her head. She let go of the tentacle in her hands and phased out.
Appearing higher in the air where she was close to Lucy, Marissa kicked away another tentacle that moved towards the blonde.
"Stop moving and let me crush you!" Byro yelled, now attacking with almost all of his tentacles at the two girls.
As Lucy jumped from one arm to another with the use of her whip, Marissa kept weaving about in the air, dodging any incoming swings of the tentacles at her, and would occasionally kick or punch a few away from her and Lucy.
Eventually at one point, Byro had tried to move a tentacle, but looked to see that it was stuck along with his other tentacles that was tied into a knot, all the while only solely focusing his attention at the two girls.
"W-What the-?! M-My legs!" Byro cried out.
Lucy landed on top of a nearby building, panting after having to move so much and looked in time to see Marissa kick Byro in the face once more, and the transformed elderly collided against the building that Lucy was running out of earlier before she ran into the Earthling.
"Grr…! You will all pay for this!" Byro bellowed out, glaring at both Marissa and Lucy.
All of a sudden, Byro felt something heat up instantly behind him, and he hummed in confusion. Just a moment later, the building behind him exploded in many pieces, damaging Byro's head along with it.
Out of the explosion, Natsu was seen screaming with fire exploding around him. He was launched forward with Hughes' face in his hand, and collided against the back of Byro's head like a fiery rocket. He yelled out and brought back his opposite arm, his other hand coating in flames, and he punched Hughes in the face, effectively knocking him out along with Byro from the impact, and both higher ups of the Royal Army crashed to the ground.
"Now that's good timing." Marissa said with crossed arms and a grin.
"Yeah! We did it!" Lucy cheered.
"Whoa-oh! What's with this octopus?!" Natsu's eyes bulged out in shock as he saw the transformed Byro, after landing down.
"Both Hughes and Byro were defeated…" Coco muttered under her breath after watching the entire bout in shock.
Marissa appeared right beside Coco, and rested an arm from her forehead to her side. She caught the younger girl looking ahead on the ground, still clutching the large key in her chest.
"Hey there, you alright?" Marissa gently asked, bending down so that her hands rested on her knees.
Coco looked up at the Earthling's soft face. In her mind, her thoughts went back to the King's words of having Extalia and the Exceeds erased. She was afraid, and her eyes began to water as her thoughts moved onto her dear friend Pantherlily.
'...what good is a world of magic if I'm going to be sad?' Coco blinked, and tears fell down her face.
"U-Uhm…" Marissa's eyes moved from left to right unsurely, watching Coco's body shake. Her full attention was back on her when the younger girl looked at her and brought out her arms, the key within her hands.
"Please… take this and destroy it!" Coco begged, now practically pushing the key towards Marissa.
"W-Why… Coco was it? What is so important about this key?" Marissa asked, and at the same time, Natsu and Lucy came walking up beside her.
"This key will be able to unlock the mechanism that will be used on your friends!" Coco answered, sniffling.
"...seriously?!" Natsu cried out in surprise.
"This key will cause the lacrima to crash onto the island where Exceeds live…?" Lucy muttered in realization.
"You're really going to go against your kingdom?" Marissa asked.
"I… I would rather have a world where everyone can smile and that I can be with my friends… than have an infinite amount of magic… please… destroy this key!" Coco begged once more, tears continuing to fall on her face.
"So we destroy this key, and then the lacrima that has our friends will be safe?" Lucy questioned.
"Alright! That's gonna be no problem!" Natsu cheered, and went to grab the key.
All of a sudden, the ground began to change underneath them, softening up at the same time. Everybody lost their balance and fell on their backs. The key in Coco's hands fell out of her grasp, and all of a sudden, a figure twirled above all of them, grabbing the key in his hands before sliding away on the ground.
"You shouldn't hand such an important item away to the enemy, Coco! I'm returning this to the King!" Sugarboy called out, moving farther away.
"No…! Sugarboy stop!" Coco cried out.
"Damn it…!" Marissa clenched her teeth as she placed two fingers on her forehead, and vanished.
As Sugarboy kept his eyes ahead, Marissa soon appeared in his vision. He widened his eyes and gasped in surprise, and before he could react, Marissa was already rocketing forward towards Sugarboy. The next thing that Sugarboy realized was that he was on his back, and he grunted loudly as pain shot through his body.
Marissa had pinned Sugarboy on the ground with her hand on his face, the key out of his hold as it slid away on the ground. She glared down at his shaking eyes before catching his eyes looking down. Sugarboy went to reach for his Rosa Espada as quick as he can, but was unable to as Marissa stomped on his arm from going any further. It added more pain to Sugarboy, and he helplessly watched Marissa grab his weapon, and threw it at a nearby wall, deeply piercing it, no doubt making it hard for the sword to come out if the magic properties on it wasn't activated.
Grabbing by the collar of his armor, Marissa lifted Sugarboy up, and shouted as she threw him against a wall, and it cracked behind him from the impact. Sugarboy let out a pained grunt, and Marissa was already in front of him with the large key in her hand.
"Might as well destroy this damn key now and get it over with." Marissa bluntly stated.
"The key is pretty hard to break, I doubt that- Whoa, whoa, wait!" Sugarboy cried out, seeing as Marissa placed a hand on the head of the key and began to grip it tightly, cracking it.
"What? I break this key and I basically save my friends. I don't have to listen to what you have to say otherwise if you want your plan or scheme to succeed." Marissa said, and the crack on the key began to grow.
Engines were heard by the both of them, and they both took the time to look to the side to see a motorcycle coming towards them, but stopped just near them. On it was Gray, and he hopped off the bike and ran over towards Marissa.
However as he did so, Sugarboy took the opportunity to grab his Rosa Espada that was nearby on the same wall he was crashed into, activated its magical properties and released it from the wall. He attempted to swing his weapon at Marissa, but she caught on immediately and slammed against his armor with one of her punches, and Sugarboy ended up pinned against the wall again, his Rosa Espada escaping his grasp once more as it was tossed to the side.
"Nice try." Marissa relaxed once more, and allowed Gray to join up with her.
"You alright?" Gray asked.
"Yeah, just having to deal with him is all. And this." Marissa answered, lifting up the key in her hand for Gray to see.
"A key? What for?"
"Not really sure what it's for specifically and I don't really care, but all I know is, that if we get rid of this, then everybody that got sucked up is saved."
"Seriously?!"
"W-Wait…! The key, it's also important to you as well!" Sugarboy shouted.
"Right…" Marissa rolled her eyes, and gripped the key again.
"I-I'm serious! It can be used to save your friends entirely!" Sugarboy continued, causing Marissa to stop and look at him with a raised eyebrow.
"What are you talking about?" Gray demanded.
"The key is used to activate the Dragon Chain Cannon that we're going to use to crash the lacrima into Extalia! It's imbued with the magic from the Dragonslayers, do you know what that kind of power is capable of?!"
Both Marissa and Gray blinked, the former out of curiosity and stumped while the latter realized about Sugarboy's words.
"Dragonslayer magic and the lacrima…" Gray uttered out loud.
"Exactly... ! If you aim the chain onto the lacrima directly, then everyone you know will return back to normal! Do you understand now?! The key is important to the both of us!"
"Even so…" Gray extended a hand out, silently asking to look at the key from Marissa, and she gave it to him. "We have Gajeel, Natsu and Wendy with their Dragonslayer magic."
"But how long will that take? It can take days, even weeks with the size of that lacrima. By tomorrow, the transformation of the lacrima being turned into magic will commence for the people in the country to use. You can't save all of them! You need that key!"
The temperature dropped around them, and they saw Gray using his magic to encase the key entirely in ice.
"W-What are you doing?!" Sugarboy shouted.
"We're not giving away the key so that you guys still have a chance at your plans!" The ice glowed brightly in Gray's hands, and in mere seconds the ice itself soon cracked all around, and then the entire casing exploded into many pieces, shattering the key.
'That's pretty neat.' Marissa idly commented, watching Gray break the key in content.
"No! What have you done?! Now your friends won't be able to turn back to normal!" Sugarboy yelled., but was confused on the smirk that was etched on Gray's face.
"That's no problem. Besides, you've seen what I can do when we fought." Gray said, extending his arms out with a fist on top of a palm. Mist formed around his hands as he worked his magic once more. "I'm an Ice Maker Mage."
Gray separated his hands from each other, and out formed an exact replica of the key in his hand.
"I can make anything." Gray finished.
"W-Wha-!" Sugarboy's words fell short when a shadow loomed over him, and he quickly looked up to see Marissa cracking her knuckles.
"Light's out buddy." Marissa swiftly punched him square in the face, knocking him unconscious.
Sugarboy laid on his side after being punched by Marissa, and she sighed and relax for the brief moment before looking at Gray.
"Pretty neat skill, wish I could so something like that." Marissa complimented.
"It's no problem." Gray said, clasping his hands and dispersing the key formed out of ice. "Was able to properly look at it when you gave it to me, so I was able to replicate it without any issues."
"Wonder what we should do now…"
"What happened to the Time Breakers?" Gray suddenly asked, remembering their appearance from before.
"I've managed to push back that guy we both saw earlier, and thankfully he hasn't shown up again. It took a bit out of me to get him away." Marissa answered, and looked towards a direction where she sensed her friends. "Bro and Ann are away from the city at the moment fighting… they should be fine though."
"Gray! Wait up!" Natsu shouted from afar, and both the mentioned mage and Marissa looked to the side to see the fire dragonslayer running towards them with Lucy and Coco behind him.
"The key… where is it?" Coco hastily asked, panting as she arrived.
"Gone." Marissa simply answered. "But not entirely."
"Huh? What do you mean by that?" Lucy inquired.
"It means this." Gray said, catching everyone else's attention as his hands connected, and he created the key in a flash. Gasps can be heard from the girls that had just arrived.
"That's amazing… Earthland magic really is something…" Coco muttered in amazement, dazzled by Gray's ice magic. She made a small noise of surprise as she looked at the ground beside Marissa, catching pink in her sight, and looked to see Sugarboy down for the count. 'Even Sugarboy was defeated…'
"Why would you copy the key?" Lucy asked next.
"The guy down here said that we can use the cannon so that if it's aimed directly at the lacrima, then it'll turn everyone back to normal." Marissa explained while pointing a thumb down at the fallen captain.
"But, why would you want to do that?"
"The cannon is mixed in with the dragonslayer magic they stole from Natsu and Wendy. Since dragonslayer magic was used to revert Erza and I back to normal, then it should to the same to the other lacrima that everyone else is in." Gray answered, dispersing the key made out of ice once more. He put his hands in his pockets before talking again. "With that, we can definitely save everybody."
"That sounds confusing and all… but if it'll return everyone back then I'm all for it!" Natsu grinned widely.
"Question is, where would we have to go?"
"I can show you guys the way, though if you're planning to break in you might have a tough time. The door blocking the way is pretty tough…" Coco offered.
"Still… I feel like we'll need some sort of plan if we're going to go with this." Lucy said, her fingers rubbing the underside of her chin in thought.
Marissa made a sound of wonder as she looked past everyone else in the direct that everyone else came from before, sensing a familiar presence.
It was Lucy who first noticed the Earthling's eyes shift, and looked behind her, only to widen her eyes and gasp at who appeared.
Following suit, Natsu, Gray and Coco looked in their direction, as well as making sounds of surprise.
Within their sights, Erza Knightwalker was walking towards them, slightly wounded and panting…
...in most of their minds that is.
"That's… Edolas' Erza!" Lucy shrieked.
"That can't be…" Gray gritted his teeth, and let his guard up.
"Our Erza… lost?!" Natsu shouted in disbelief.
"C-Captain Knightwalker… t-this is…" Coco trailed off in fear, and took a few step backs.
'Why is she dressed like that?' Marissa raised a curious eyebrow at Erza.
Erza walked closer to the group, a small grin forming on her face. She looked at most of the group being in a state of alert before her body glowed, her hair fluttering in the air from her magic before, and the light died down revealing Erza in her Heart Kreuz armor.
Confusion settled in through everyone but Marissa as they watched Erza perform her magic, but soon realized who it really was as they saw the familiar armor she wore.
"Wait a second…" Natsu started.
"It's our Erza!" Lucy cheered.
"Heh, I knew she wouldn't lose." Gray said with a smirk.
"She trains with Yusuke, how could she?" Marissa said with a grin of her own.
'Even Captain Knightwalker… these people are really strong…' Coco thought in disbelief, watching with her eyes wide as Erza walked over to them.
"It's good to see you're all alright… has anyone been able to gather information on how to get everyone in the guild back to normal?" Erza asked.
"We have actually," Gray said, making the key with his magic for the third time for Erza to see.
"A key?"
"With that key, we'll be able to turn everyone in the lacrima back to normal!" Lucy answered happily.
"I see, that's good to hear. Now all we need to do is come with up with a plan to be able to do so." Erza said.
"Coco, you said that you'd be able to show us the way to where to use the key?" Marissa asked.
"Yeah, I can." Coco nodded, and pointed towards a direction to where Sugarboy was heading previously. "There's a long hallway just out of this building that way, it'll lead to where the Dragon Chain Cannon is."
"And Erza… why were you wearing your counterpart's clothes?"
"A disguise would be effective in gaining information if I were to pose as her. Fortunately, I ran into you, saves me more hassle." Erza answered with a small grin.
"We can still use that actually, sneak your way in through the doors without any trouble."
"And we'll need Gray as well since he's able to make the key." Lucy added in.
"So we let Erza sneak in with Gray… though it wouldn't do much good if he just casually walks right next to you." Marissa said.
"I can make it so that I can capture him then." Erza suggested offhandedly.
"I don't like the sound of that… but it'll most likely work." Gray chimed in.
"We can throw in Natsu and Marissa as well as backups if needed." Lucy said with a slightly playful grin.
"Hey, whaddya mean throw me in?!" Natsu said, speaking up for the first time.
"Well there's bound to be a lot of soldiers in there!" Lucy argued.
"Well why don't we throw you in instead?!"
"You would say that! You're more up for it than I!"
"I have to agree with Lucy, we can use Flame-Brain here as bait for soldiers to kick at while we handle on firing the cannon." Gray said as he smirked, and at that point, a tick mark was formed on Natsu's forehead.
"Oh yeah?! Maybe I'll just let you take my place instead!" Natsu bit back.
"You idiot! I'm the only one who can make the key!" Gray and Natsu bumped each other on their foreheads, glaring at one another. "Unless your useless fire can become a solid then I don't see you doing anything useful other than being on the floor! And you just admitted that you would act as bait!"
'...they're pretty weird…' Coco stood by the side as she watched the mages bicker against each other.
"You're probably thinking that they might be a little crazy." Marissa's voice caught Coco's attention towards her, and she smiled a little.
"Kinda… but it's funny. Really." Coco answered, feeling herself alleviated from the stress built upon her.
As both Coco and Marissa looked at Natsu and Gray fighting with Lucy near them shaking her head, the Earthling caught sight of Erza walking towards her with a concerned expression.
"Marissa… where is Yusuke, Wendy and Ann?" Was the redhead's question, and it brought Natsu and Gray's arguing to a halt as they, as well as Lucy, looked over at Erza.
"Wendy convinced Carla to go to Extalia so that they can talk to the Exceeds about the King's plans. But...as for Yusuke and Ann…" Lucy answered about the Sky Dragonslayer's whereabouts and her companion, but trailed off for the two Saiyans.
"It's the Time Breakers. They showed up." Gray finished for Lucy, causing Erza to look at him with a surprised look.
"...Is this true?" Erza looked back at Marissa after hearing Gray's answer.
"Yeah…" Marissa nodded with a concerned look of her own as she looked at Erza, confirming what Gray had said. "I managed to push one back myself...but I almost had to use my full power in order to do so. I just hope he doesn't show up again anytime soon… using the Kaio-Ken took a lot out of me.
"Bro and Ann... they're still fighting. Outside of the city. They're strong enough to push them to transform in their first stages."
"...that powerful?" Erza muttered in thought, and concentrated as she sensed four large energy signatures from afar, causing her to unconsciously shiver.
"But they're stronger. I know it." Marissa said those simple words with a confident smile, which made Erza respond with the same gesture.
"Yes. They are." Erza responded with a nod, and looked over at the two male mages. "Natsu! Gray! We're going!"
Erza began walking over to them, and she brought out her hands so that she can grab some rope out of her pocket dimension. Natsu and Gray took a step back.
"H-Hey…" Gray stuttered.
"W-Wait! Erza!" Natsu paled.
Erza leaped forward before both of them could get away, and managed to pin the both of them down on the ground as they struggled, but was fruitless as the Requip mage easily tied up both Gray and Natsu easily with the ropes wrapped around their bodies. Her body began to glow again as her Requip magic went to work, and in a few seconds, she was donning in Knightwalker's clothing once more.
"Perfect, let's go then." Erza said with a nod, and began dragging Natsu and Gray away with the ropes that was hanging from their knots. Both fire and ice mage held an expression of both annoyance and a deadpanned look as they continued moving.
"We should probably go with them for now." Lucy said, her sweat dropping.
"Y-Yeah… Plus, I need to show her the way." Coco said, and began following Erza.
Marissa sighed with a silent laugh to herself at the scene, and decided to follow the group alongside with Lucy. Her small smile gradually dropped, still sensing the ongoing fight away from the city. 'I have to leave as soon as possible… I'll make sure they make it safely and go.'
The group of mages followed Coco outside of the building that housed the amusement park, now ruined by the destruction from the battles within. Walking out and into a long hallway with multiple stone pillars supporting the ceiling, with decorations and ornaments on the base of the pillars, placed just near the arch that was right in the middle of the ceiling.
Everybody stopped when Coco stopped, just as they entered the hallway.
"If you go all the way down here, you'll reach the doors that has the Dragon Chain Cannon inside of it. The King is probably in there right now, waiting for someone to bring him back the key that I stole from him. I… don't want to go in there since I did that." Coco said, pointing forward as she explained.
"Thank you. The King's plans won't succeed." Erza said, stepping forward with the ropes tied to Natsu and Gray in her hands.
"I… don't think it'll be a good idea for me to go with you Erza." Lucy spoke up.
"Why not?" Erza stopped to turn to look at the blonde.
"You already got Gray and Natsu in case anything happens, I might get in the way. Plus… almost dealing with that Time Breaker that Marissa fought against is getting me weary…" Lucy solemnly said.
"I understand… very well. What will you do then?"
"I was thinking she could help with some type of backup plan? I was going to go to the stables near here." Coco intervened.
"Stables?" Erza questioned.
"Mhm. The Legion stables. In case anything happens, we'll be ready to leap in "
"Lucy?"
"I think that's a good idea… it would beat just standing around." Lucy complied.
"Marissa, what about you?" Erza asked the Earthling next.
Marissa looked at everyone from the side before silently sighing to herself from exhaustion. "I'm going to go help the others fight. Who knows what Towa and the other Time Breakers might be up to out of the blue."
"I see…" There was a flash of worry in Erza's eyes, but it was gone a moment later. She knew full well of the situation at hand at this moment, and she needed to prioritize herself of the King's plans. "We wish you good luck then."
"Right back at you. I don't doubt you'll get everyone back to normal. If you ever need the help though, raise your energy. I'm sure Bro will come to your side right away." Marissa reassured, and took a step back.
Erza smiled at Marissa's words, and nodded. "I'll be sure to keep that in mind."
With a wave of her hand gesturing her goodbye, Marissa frowned in concentration as she placed two fingers to her forehead, and sensed the battle outside of the city.
In the next instant, the rest of the group saw Marissa disappear from where she stood in a flash.
"We should get going." Lucy said.
"Y-Yeah… I'll show you the way." Coco replied, surprised by Marissa's instantaneous movement. Out of her stupor, she went towards a hallway that was located at the side of the entrance.
"Erza! Natsu! Gray! Good luck!" Lucy bidded farewell to her friends before taking off with Coco.
After seeing both girls off, Erza walked forward with Natsu and Gray in tow.
"Wouldn't it be better if you tied us when we got there…?" Gray quietly suggested.
"Shut it!" Natsu quietly scolded.
Rays of bright light was seen exploding throughout the rocky terrain, tearing it apart by energy blasts in every direction with the occasional icicle spears jutted into the ground, melting with slight mist around them, indicating how cold they are.
The male Saiyan dug his foot into the ground while being pushed back, his arms crossed in front of him by the ongoing assault the Masked Saiyan brought upon him.
Yusuke grunted and flew away from the ground where Bardock punched the air. The Patroller brought a hand down to fire off a large energy wave at the Time Breaker.
Bardock leaped up towards Yusuke's attack with a hand in front of him, energy in his palms as well. Bringing out his dark golden aura, he clashed against the younger Saiyan's attack. It was only a mere moment later that an explosion occurred.
Away from the explosion, multiple Ki blasts were scattered in every direction destroying sharp ice that flew in the air towards its target. The female Saiyan leaped higher in the air to spot Putine, and fired off an energy wave down at her.
Putine raised her staff and brought out her dark aura. The orb on top of her staff sparkled, and a large energy wave was shot out to compete with Ann's attack.
The moment both of their attacks met, another large explosion spread across the area with smoke, blinding their sight but not their senses.
The entire battlefield was littered with fumes and dust from all of the attacks launched thus far from the Time Patrollers and Time Breakers.
Everything settled down with the sky clearing up. Yusuke and Ann slightly panted as they looked down at Bardock and Putine, who were looking up towards them.
'We've been fighting for awhile now…' Ann thought to herself, and scanned her surroundings. 'And the sun is setting…'
'What's going on with everyone else… it doesn't feel like anything has happened at all while we've been fighting here…' Yusuke thought as he kept his eyes down at the two Time Breakers. 'And the day's almost over... '
Both sides kept staring at each other for some time after the air cleared around them. The sun continued to seek refuge from their side of the world as some time passed by where nothing happened.
All four fighters perked up at another energy signature arriving, and just between the two Time Patrollers, Marissa appeared in everyone's visions. Yusuke and Ann smiled at Marissa's arrival, wounded but safe.
'Tch…! What the hell is that fool Gravy doing?!' Putine inwardly shouted, gritting her teeth and growling under her breath.
"You alright Kid?" Yusuke called out.
"Yeah. Tired, but alright." Marissa answered back, and was definitely tired from the look in her eyes.
"What happened to the other Time Breaker Mari?" Ann asked.
"Managed to push him back enough. Forced me to almost use my highest Kaio-Ken though…"
"Stay back then, don't strain yourself any further." The female Saiyan suggested.
"Okay… but don't think I won't jump in if I have to." Marissa said, flying back.
"Kid, we're Saiyans… I think we'd prefer it if you didn't jump in no matter what." Yusuke offhandedly commented, and he caught Marissa rolling her eyes from the side.
Yusuke saw the Earthling fly behind them, and half of him wanted to ask how the others were doing back in the city, but the other half of him overshadowed that first thought as his attention was back towards the Time Breakers.
'They're fine… I need to focus on them first.' Yusuke's body tensed up for a moment before it relaxed.
Ann managed to see the hesitance in Yusuke's eyes, but her eyes glanced back down at the Time Breakers who continued to keep their eyes up at them. She did manage to see the anger on Putine's features, most likely from Marissa's sudden appearance.
Shouting to the skies, the female Saiyan took the first move as her golden aura glowed around her. Ann lifted both of her arms overhead as Ki charged in her palms, and she threw them down at Putine and Bardock.
The Ki blasts flew past the Time Breakers, hitting the ground below. Both Saiyans moved immediately the moment Putine and the Masked Saiyan did.
Yusuke charged at Bardock, starting off with a forward punch to which the Masked Saiyan blocked with crossed arms. The moment they separated in the slightest, Bardock went to strike with a knee, but Yusuke defended himself with the palm of his hand. Not stopping there, the Time Breaker brought back a fist to swing at him, and Yusuke grunted as he was punched in the cheeks.
Ann flew higher in the sky and twirled her body down towards Putine to kick her. Putine defended fast enough to bring up her staff to intercept Ann's leg, but was pushed back from the strength the female Saiyan used. Having the opportunity of being up close, Ann faced both of her hands at Putine and fired off her energy attack at point blank. She grinned when her attack connected before Putine had time to escape, and the Time Breaker leaped away from the smoke clutching her left arm as the robe covering her body was gone, and the tight dress she wore underneath was partly torn.
"Cursed Saiyan…" Putine irritably muttered.
"Ice won't help you heal that burn, why don't I help make it more intense?" Ann taunted, gesturing her hand at Putine to attack her.
Putine clenched her teeth in anger and thrusted her staff forward, her own large energy wave being fired off towards the female Saiyan.
Ann waited until the last moment as Putine's attack got closer and closer in front of her, and just as it was about to hit her, Ann phased away at the last second. She appeared directly in front of Putine with a hand extended. Ann saw the Time Breaker widen her eyes and gasped.
Her reaction was stellar.
"HAAAAH!" Ann roared as she fired off another large Ki wave from the palm of her hands up close up at Putine.
The female Time Breaker screeched being engulfed entirely by the explosion of Ann's blast. From afar, it seemed as if fireworks were going off, and it looked just like that as spark-like residue from Ann's energy began showering down from the air. Putine was seen falling towards the ground with smoke on her body. More of dress was seen torn up, and the staff she held dearly fell down with her. Ann watched the Time Breaker crash, and she scoffed, placing her crossing her arms.
"Hmph… I don't know why I had such a hard time with her… probably outlasted her." Ann said, sensing the female Time Breaker not moving.
Ann looked over towards Yusuke and Bardock fighting, practically evenly matched from a simple perspective. Not for her though.
"... and I don't know why he's holding back… then again, they might've made Bardock a lot more powerful…" Ann muttered as she continued watching their bout. She narrowed her eyes however, watching more keenly. 'Still… we only had him on our side briefly… it'd be useful to try to get him back…'
A loud bang echoed in the area as both the fighting Saiyans clashed their fists together at one another.
"Tarok! End this!" Ann shouted loud and clear for Yusuke to hear.
'Tch… easy for you to say!' Yusuke dodged and ducked a couple of punches from Bardock, along with smacking a few away with his hands.
Catching one his arms, Yusuke forcefully threw Bardock away from him. Now given enough space, the Time Patroller took the opportunity to let out a battle cry, and his golden aura exploded around him. The only difference now is that lightning blinked around him sporadically.
Ki charged in Yusuke's hands as he lifted an arm so that his hand faced the Time Breaker, and fired it off the moment his fingers was finished outstretching. His golden blast vastly covered Bardock's person and the area around him in a blinding light, and traveled all the way towards the rocky terrain below them, resulting in a large explosion.
Bardock came flying out of the fumes, but was scathed from what Yusuke observed. His armor was partially broken and was now covered in scratches, a few large enough that blood leaked out. The only thing that was left undamaged was his mask.
Ann watched the male Saiyan charge down, and saw both of them disappear. She directed her sights up to follow them move from one spot in the air to another.
'Is the first form Bardock's limit…?' Ann thought with narrowed eyes. She saw the Time Breaker spin his body to kick at Yusuke, only for the Time Patroller to move out of the way and come from behind him with a kick of his own, his foot meeting Bardock's back of the neck.
Bardock spun upright to face Yusuke, but was met with the younger Saiyan appearing just above him with his hands weaved together overhead. Yusuke slammed down his hands against Bardock's head, causing the Time Breaker to crash down through the air. In the Time Patroller's hands, Ki was formed and he quickly threw several energy blasts down that followed Bardock to the ground. Several more explosions occurred on the wastelands below, and Yusuke relaxed, reverting back to his first form to save energy.
Phasing away from his spot, he appeared right next to Ann who was observing down below.
"About time." Ann simply said.
"Hey, you try fighting him one on one." Yusuke replied back to her.
"Would definitely have had an easier time. You try fighting frosty down there. Her annoying magic just kept coming. Not to mention those stupid ice clones she made whenever I was close to attacking her." She grumbled.
"I could have, but it seemed like you were having a lot of fun with her."
"I'd rather take on Bardock, least I'd have a challenge."
"Yeah, for you at least."
"What the hell is that suppose to mean?!" Ann screeched, popping off.
"Guys, guys, calm down…" Marissa's voice was heard behind them and they looked to see her with an exasperated expression, but was smiling all the while.
"Just stating facts." Yusuke grinned, but made a sound of surprise as Ann grabbed his jacket collar.
"Argh, just wait until we get back! I'll kick your ass any day of the week!" The female Saiyan challenged.
All of a sudden, their senses flared in several directions all around them, and all three Time Patrollers immediately went on alert.
Ann looked down below to see rubble of rocks being levitated, only for it all to scatter away by dark beams of light, revealing the Masked Saiyan from all the rubble.
Marissa gasped seeing the familiar bulky Time Breaker with his hammer in hand arriving to where Putine was laying down on the ground.
Yusuke however, was ignoring all of those situations and was looking out in the distance instead, feeling Erza's Ki rise considerably.
'Did something happen over there…?' Confliction was written on Yusuke's face, and was now taking in the revival of the Masked Saiyan as well as sensing Gravy down below.
"Go."
Yusuke looked over at Ann when she said that. She didn't look at him. Only observing the Time Breakers down below her.
"I did say to Erza to raise her power if she needed to." Marissa said.
"I'm sure your girlfriend is expecting you. You don't want to ignore her, do you?" Ann added in.
Yusuke didn't miss the mockery in Ann's sentence, but he put it in the back of his mind in the meantime. "Don't get too reckless you two."
"You know how I handle things. We'll be just fine." Ann answered.
"I'm with her there Bro, we got this no problem." Marissa gave a thumbs up towards the male Saiyan.
"Marissa, don't rely on the Kaio-Ken if you can't handle it. Just hold out until I can come back." Yusuke said with a hard voice.
"Pfft, you say that as if I won't be knowing what to do." Marissa answered back with a grin, and saw the small sigh her surrogate brother let out. "...you don't have to worry about me Yusuke, second round with him will be a cinch."
Given that her answer was good enough, he looked over at Ann as she had her head turned back at him to look at him. They both gave an understanding nod.
Without another word, Yusuke turned around and flared out his golden aura and immediately flew to where Erza and the rest were.
"Get ready Mari." Ann clenched his hands, and golden aura raged around her.
"Right beside you!" Red aura bursted around Marissa's person, and she immediately went on guard.
'I have to hurry!'
Yusuke flew even faster than before as he travelled across the desert under the night sky.
An abundant of floating islands came into his view, and down below he could see the Royal City. What mainly caught his attention was from the castle. Seemingly attached to it was a large bone-like chain that travelled all the way to a floating island. On top of that floating island, was a large lacrima, and that island itself was currently being collided into another large island where he saw a large city residing on it.
'That lacrima...it has to be everyone from Magnolia and the guild!' Yusuke sensed further and could feel Erza and the others below. He saw tons and tons of cats with white angelic-like wings flying in between the two islands. 'They're just like Happy and Carla...are they trying to push it away? That's crazy…! I need to go help.'
His golden aura became more intense, and he began to dive down, spiraling along the way at high speeds. He flew past several Exceeds, surprising them to a halt as they watched him continue down towards the island
Landing on top of the edge of Extalia, Yusuke peered down, and along with the many Exceeds, he saw the entire Fairy Tail group of mages along with Coco and her Legion. Every single one of them was pushing against the island with lacrima on it, preventing it from colliding into the country of Exceeds.
He jumped off the edge and floated down in the middle where Erza and the rest were. Floating just atop of everybody else, Yusuke shouted as he leaped forward, joining in with everyone else that is trying to push back the lacrima island.
The weight that everybody was pushing suddenly lessened, and looked around in confusion and wonder before loud screaming can be heard. The entire group that was pushing back the island beforehand all looked towards the source of the echoed voice, which was above them. The island was pushed back once more, at an even further distance than the first time.
"Alright New Guy!" Natsu pumped his fists in the air.
"He's doing it! He's pushing it back!" Wendy cheered.
"Yusuke! Keep at it!" Erza shouted.
Golden aura erupted around the Time Patroller, and gradually but surely, Yusuke continued pushing back the island further and further from Extalia. He let out an echoed roar, pushing more of his power out before eventually, the island was far enough away. Yusuke took a breath od deep air as he panted, and floated back, only to see the lacrima moving back towards the Exceed's country.
'It must be that chain that's still connected to the island… it probably still has more power.' Yusuke immediately flew down towards the Dragon Chain and grabbed onto it, just under the floating island.
The island with the lacrima stopped moving forward once more. Everyone above heard the Saiyan's scream again, and looked to see the island being pulled away from Extalia even more.
"That one person is doing everything on his own… that's so cool!" One Exceed said.
"And he can fly, that's amazing!" Another said.
"Humans really aren't so bad at all…!" Another Exceed said.
The Fairy Tail mages heard that last comment. Aside from Gajeel, they all inwardly chuckled.
The island completely stopped from what everyone could see. They caught a glimpse of the chain that was attached onto the island start to move. The head of the chain was seen flailing around in the air, and from what some could see from the golden hair, Yusuke had a grip on it.
"...HAAAAH!" Yusuke roared another time, and threw the chain away. Cupping his hands together in front of him, he fired off an energy wave towards it, and effectively destroyed the head of it.
Smoke was seen from where the new end of the chain was at, after the dragon-like head was destroyed. Almost limply, it fell down in the air, back towards the surface down below.
A bright flash caught everyone's attention that shined from the lacrima itself. Mostly everybody that was within the area close to the island shielded their eyes from how bright it was. But it was only for a short period of time as they grew use to it with their eyes.
The bright light engulfed the lacrima island entirely, and it shot up towards the sky.
'Something feels familiar…' Yusuke cautiously thought with narrowed eyes as he saw the beam of light travel upwards.
...In the far back of his mind, he felt something dreadful for just a split second, but was overshadowed with his attention towards the lacrima.
The bright light that covered the island erupted, blowing large winds around it, causing some Exceeds to be blown away that were close to it.
Everything settled down as all the Exceeds, Fairy Tail members, Coco and her Legion all silently observed. Dust that covered the island soon dispersed, revealing that the lacrima on the island was completely gone. It was only a second later that the base of the island itself began to disappear into small particles that simply disintegrated into nothing.
"What's going on…?" Lucy finally asked.
"That lacrima and the island just… disappeared…" Gray muttered.
As everyone watched the island dissolve completely, a new voice was heard.
"It's because the lacrima has returned to Earthland."
Most looked towards the new voice, and saw a cloaked figure with five staves behind his back, riding on top of a white Legion.
"...Mystogan!" Erza instantly recognized him, and called him out.
"I've searched for the remaining tear from the giant Anima to return everything to the way it was. Because of that, I have to apologize for my lateness of being here." Mystogan explained. "And without everyone's help, I doubt I would have made it. You all have my thanks."
"When you say the 'way it was', do you mean that…?!" Happy, being too excited, didn't get to finish his question. But Mystogan knew what he was asking.
"That's right." Mystogan nodded. "The Lacrima will pass through the Anima again, and turn into its normal form once it was reached Earthland… everyone will be safe and sound."
Only a few seconds after Mystogan finished talking was when everyone began to cheer as loud as they possibly can, both mentioning the protection of Extalia as well as the safety of everyone back in Magnolia.
Keeping on guard, Yusuke concentrated on his surroundings, sensing all of everything around him. He turned his body around to see a brigade of Legions flying upwards. And down below, he sensed Knighwalker along with an army of soldiers.
A light purple beam was seen shot out from the Legion that Knightwalker was riding on. Yusuke quickly traveled to intercept it and arriving behind Pantherlily, he swatted Knightwalker's attack away towards a different direction where no one else was in the way.
"What?" Pantherlily gasped and turned around, first seeing Yusuke's golden hair, but immediately looked past below him afterwards to see the Royal Army flying up.
"...damn it all!" Knightwalker's voice boomed for everyone to hear. "This isn't over yet…!"
"Knightwalker…" Panterlily muttered.
"Wait." Mystogan appeared right beside Pantherlily and Yusuke, holding out his arm, and made his voice loud and clear to the soldiers below. "Do you really plan to point your blades against the Prince of Edolas, Erza Knightwalker?"
'Prince…?' Yusuke put away his thought of Mystogan really looking exactly like Jellal as Erza has said before in the past with the blue-haired mage claiming he is of royalty.
"Prince? HA! Don't make me laugh!" A voice echoed loudly for everyone to hear, confusing some to look around.
"That's the King's voice….!" Coco said from her Legion.
"Yeah but… where is it coming from?" Lucy asked, continuing to look around.
"You hid yourself away for seven years, and you have the nerve to appear in Edolas again?" The King loudly claimed. "I am well aware that you were closing all of the Anima in Earthland… you have betrayed your country!"
"Your entire Anima plan has failed… what reason is there to fight anymore?" Mystogan questioned.
"Hmph… a fight you say? From here on out, this is not a fight any longer. This will be a slaughter… retaliation to those who Dare stood against the King! Against me!" The ground all the way at the bottom began to quake.
Everyone watched as the ground broke apart, revealing a large machine that very much resembled a dragon with the way it was designed, and it mechanically roared into the night sky, intimidating most Exceeds.
"What the hell is that?" Yusuke muttered quietly to himself, watching the robotic dragon move.
"If you choose to stand against me, then I will not hesitate to erase you on the spot! Even if it Is you, Jellal! Nothing will be left!" The King's voice, which can now be heard clearly from inside the machine, said.
"...Father." Mystogan uttered.
"I am not your Father. I am the King of Edolas! I'll kill you here, then no one will be able to stop the Anima's in Earthland! I'll be able to create lacrimas and fuse them with the Exceeds as many time as I wish… Hehehe….HAHAHA! Nothing is impossible for a King! My power is ABSOLUTE!" The mechanical dragon roared out once more, shaking those that felt it feeling its power.
"Bringing out the Dorma-Anim… what is he thinking?" Pantherlily muttered, almost afraid.
"Dorma-Anim… which means 'Dragon-Knight' here in Edolas… he really brought out the armor-reinforced dragon?!" Mystogan realized.
"It seems so… the rideable armored suit that is able to nullify all magic that comes in contact with it…"
"Capture all of the Exceeds! Every single one of them!" The King ordered, and the Legions that had soldiers ridden on them instantly sped off.
"Soldiers! Ready your cannons!" Knightwalker ordered. "Do not let a single Exceed escape!"
The troops on the Legions obediently followed Knightwalker's command, and lifted cannons onto their shoulders or simply lifted them by their handles. It hummed, and a blue beam was seen firing off towards multiple Exceeds. It hit one of them, and the flying cat turned into lacirma after a puff of smoke.
"What the-?!" Yusuke exclaimed.
"Not good… everyone! Make a run for it now!" Mystogan shouted towards the Exceeds.
After observing multiple Exceeds being turned into lacrima, every single one of them began flying away to escape from the Royal Army.
"Damn it…!" Yusuke crouched and immediately phased away from his spot.
Appearing above the army, he shouted as he dived down and kicked a Legion away, forcing it to collide with another Legion, causing both animals to have their senses confused, and began moving wildly in the air.
"You bastard!" A soldier cursed, and pointed a spear at him after putting down his cannon. He fired off a magic beam at the Saiyan, only for Yusuke to disappear in his sights. Before he could react, the soldier saw that he was right in front of him, and felt pain shoot up in his body before closing his eyes.
Yusuke continued moving to intercept the Royal Army so that the Exceeds had time to escape from them. Unfortunately, some still fell victim.
Coco's Legion was still travelling towards the one-sided battle where the Exceeds and Royal Army was currently at, as well as the Saiyan that they knew.
"We have to help the Exceeds!" Lucy cried out
"I'm all up for that, but what the hell do we do about that thing?" Gray pointed towards the Dorma-Anim.
"It's useless trying to fight against that, it'll nullify all magic that tries to hit it." Coco said from up front.
"Yusuke would definitely be able to stand up against the King… but he's trying to help the Exceeds at the moment." Erza said.
"He's got the right mind, we'll have to evade the Dorma-Anim's attacks while doing so. The Exceeds are unarmed, and they're more of a priority." Mystogan said, riding along next to everyone else on his own Legion.
"This is preposterous… how could the army not see how defenseless they are?! Blindly following just to obtain magic!" Pantherlily, also flying along with the others, fumed.
"Lily, calm down. I swear my Father will not get away with this. But we have to do something about the Exceeds being turned into lacrima first."
"You shall do nothing! You will not escape, but perish here and now!" The Dorma-Anim from below opened up its maw, revealing a cannon from the inside. It hummed, and fired off a large magical beam towards the group of Fairy Tail members.
Mystogan quickly intercepted with his magic, as well as bringing out all five of his staves, and stopped the King's attack from reaching the Legion that everyone else was on.
"All of you, go now! Help the Exceeds! I know Yusuke is strong, but he is only one person!" Mystogan shouted behind him, and looked back ahead.
THREE LAYERED MAGIC: MIRRORED WATER!
Mystogan gestured his hands in several directions, and the magic beam scattered in multiple before travelling back towards the Dorma-Anim. The attack crashed onto the machine and the ground around it, surrounding it with smoke. However, when it cleared up, it was seen without so much as a scratch.
"What a futile attempt. Now die!" The Dorma-Anim instantly shot out another large magic beam towards Mystogan, hitting dead on.
Mystogan cried out in pain, falling from his Legion, and crashing down towards the forest below.
"Prince!" Pantherlily cried out, and immediately flew down to rescue him.
"Oh no!" Lucy shouted.
"This isn't good, we can't fight while we have to worry about that!" Gray yelled.
"All of you are next! Perish just like him!" The King opened the mechanical dragon's maw once more, and went to fire another attack.
However, flames exploded behind the neck of the machine, halting its cannon.
"What?!" The King exclaimed, feeling the tremor from within.
All of a sudden, the chest of the machine was attacked by a blunt object, slightly staggering the Dorma-Anim.
"Impossible! The Dorma-Anim should nullify all magic!" Faust shouted.
SKY DRAGON'S ROAR!
A torrent of air came from behind and attacked the Dorma-Anim, hitting it dead on forcing it to skid back.
Wendy landed on the ground after her attack, and Natsu and Gajeel came walking up next to her.
"Hehe, not bad at all Wendy." Natsu complemented, cracking his knuckles.
"No… the both of you did a lot more damage than I did. I still have a lot more to learn." Wendy said.
"Hmph… this guy's using something to resemble a dragon… and it's pissing me off." Gajeel growled.
"Natsu!" Happy cried out from above as he looked down below.
"Wendy!" Carla shouted.
"Gajeel too?" Gray said.
"We'll handle it from here, all of you go help the those cats!" Natsu shouted.
"Let's go." Erza faced forward, acknowledging Natsu's words.
"B-But… will just the three of them be enough?" Lucy worriedly asked.
"It will be fine. They're dragonslayer's are they not? Only they can beat the enemy they're facing right now. A dragon." Erza glanced down once more, but looked ahead again at the multiple lights going off near where the Exceeds are.
"Then, let's speed things up. Legpyon!" Coco patted the Legion, and it made a noise. The animal sped up considerably, and they caught up with the battle where the Exceeds were still trying to escape.
They could see Yusuke flying from one spot to another, deflecting the beams away that would turn the Exceeds into lacrimas. Not only that, he would quickly travel to an enemy's Legion, and knock it away in the air. However, not all Exceeds could escape.
"We need to hurry and go help him." Erza said.
"It doesn't look good… there's so many of them and Mystogan is right that Yusuke is only one person." Gray said.
"I've been waiting for you, Scarlet!"
Everybody turned to the voice of Knightwalker, watching them on her own Legion with her spear in hand. Her appearance had changed in the short time that they've been apart. Knightwalker's hair was now at neck level, and wore clothing very similar to a leotard, only with armor added on her shoulders and forearms.
"Waiting…?" Erza muttered, and gasped as looked around, sensing multiple Legions flying up to their height, and looked to see that they were surrounding Coco's Legion.
"We've been set up!" Lucy yelled.
A barrage of magical bullets from the enemies below were shot up to target Coco's Legion. It maneuvered only slightly in the air before the bullets struck the belly of it, and it cried out in pain. The attack caused Coco's Legion to flail, throwing everyone on it away.
Yusuke punched away another Legion away from the Exceeds, and it tumbled away with the solider on it falling. He heard blasts from the distance and looked to see one Legion out of the rest of it that surrounded it get attacked. He made a noise of concern when he sensed Gray, Lucy, Happy, Carla and Coco there.
White aura springed to life around him, already being in his normal form for a while to conserve energy, and he quickly traveled to his friends.
As everybody fell from Coco's Legion, Happy went to grab Lucy, and Gray was saved by Carla.
"Oh no, Coco!" Lucy looked to see the younger girl falling by herself.
"I… I can't move too much…! You're too heavy Lucy!" Happy strained out.
"Is now the time?!"
"Carla!" Gray shouted.
"She's too far away, and I'm not fast enough carrying with you at the moment!" Carla shouted back, and gravely watched Coco panicking down below.
A streak of white came spiraling down from above towards Coco, and the small girl was quickly caught in someone's arms.
Yusuke matched the same height as the others, and everyone else was relieved when they saw Coco in the Saiyan's arms.
"T-Thank you…!" Coco joyfully said, her eyes tearing up.
"No problem kiddo, is everyone else alright?" Yusuke asked, looking at both Lucy and Gray.
"We're fine, just a little dinged up." Gray replied.
"Wait, where's Erza?" Lucy asked, suddenly realizing that the redhead wasn't with them.
Yusuke looked up at one certain Legion where he sensed Knightwalker and Erza. He felt both of their powers rise, more Erza than her counterpart though.
"She'll be fine." Yusuke answered with a small smile.
They all descended down to a forest with an open area on the ground. Happy and Carla both set down Lucy and Gray, respectively, tiredly. As soon as Yusuke landed, he casually let go of his hand so that Coco can catch her breath.
"What happen to the Exceeds?" Carla asked.
"Most of them managed to get away, but some of them still turned into Lacrima. I did as much as I could against the army." Yusuke answered.
"But what about Ann and Marissa… what happened to them?" Lucy asked, and she saw Yusuke look towards a direction.
"... they're still fighting the Time Breakers… I'm sure they'll be fine though." Yusuke replied, and he halved believed himself. Marissa was tired, and Ann was still holding out fine. However, it's practically two versus three in favor of the Time Breakers, given that Putine was up and fighting again. If that were the case, it might as well have been one versus three with how tired Marissa was.
"You don't sound too sure." Gray caught on the concern in Yusuke's voice and features.
The Saiyan didn't say anything, but went on alert as he saw a magic bullet heading their way. He moved, quickly batting the bullet away in another direction. Yusuke looked ahead and all around him to see the Royal Army surrounding him and the others.
"There's so many…!" Lucy gasped.
"Everyone… please stop!" Coco begged.
"We have to push through…!" Gray went and formed a fist and placed it on the palm of his opposite hand.
"There he is! The one flying around!" A soldier said, pointing at Yusuke.
"You bastard! Because of you we hardly turned any of those cats into lacrima!" Another soldier shouted.
"Kill him! Kill all of them!"
"Tch, big mistake coming after us." Yusuke powered up a bit, showing off his white aura around him, intimidating the soldiers. "HAH!"
The Saiyan and the Mages charged in.
'Not good, this is not good!'
Marissa panicked in thought as she saw Towa command two new beings who her and Ann very well knew back in the Seventh Universe timeline. One of the beings, being bulky and big quickly sped off towards where Yusuke was currently at. The other, a much smaller and slim build that wielded a sword, but gave off such a sinister presence, stayed.
But before both Ann and Marissa could move, a combination of Ki, lightning, and ice made their way towards the duo Time Patrollers, and both women were forced to evade the attacks.
"Damn it all!" Ann gritted her teeth in frustration.
It was only a while ago before the situation escalated as quickly as it did. After Yusuke flew off to help Fairy Tail, both Marissa and Ann began fighting Gravy and Bardock, respectively. While Ann had a slight advantage against the Masked Saiyan, Marissa was pushing her luck against the Time Breaker with the hammer. The Earthling struggled when she went Kaio-Ken for the second time in the day to fight, and was barely keeping up. All the while the female Saiyan was worried that Putine might sneak up and join in on the battle as well, but that was put to rest when the female Time Breaker didn't show. Most likely from the cause of Ann's attack on her earlier, doing critical damage.
However, after fighting for some time, everybody felt a sensation and they halted their movement. It was somewhat odd for the Patrollers, but was familiar for the Time Breakers. Above them, the sky spiraled open from what they could see, and Towa came descending down, looking smug and elegant at the same time if it were possible with her new appearance in Ann and Marissa's minds.
A brief conversation ended up happening to stop their fighting for a short period of time. All the Time Breakers gathered, Putine included while injured. It was both sides basically trying to interrogate each other, but was more of the Time Patrollers getting new information than the Time Breakers, who were simply feeling over the top. It ended with Towa swiping her staff more of the air warped open with two holes…
...and out from both of the wormholes was the Legendary Super Saiyan as well as the demon from Hell that's practically Evil personified.
"All of you, with me. We'll leave Janemba to these two." Towa said in a commanding voice.
"Tch, do not forget who it is you're talking to." Gravy chided.
"Just because you and Putine were acquainted with Demigra does not make it so that I would take that into account. We have a compromise to our goals, surely the both of you don't wish to see your end so soon, do you?"
"Are you implying that we're weaker than them?" Putine growled, pointing towards the two Time Patrollers with her staff, albeit, weakly.
"Do not underestimate them." Towa corrected, and narrowed her eyes at Putine. "I will give them the acknowledgement that they are persistent, but do make entertaining lab rats.
"I have more concerns for Broly than Janemba. At least he won't go rioting looking for Son Goku."
Towa began to move towards the direction that Broly headed off to, and almost begrudgingly, the rest of the Time Breakers did as well.
"Hold it Towa!" Ann screamed out, and brought out both of her hands to charge Ki
Towa snapped her finger, and the Demon moved instantaneously.
Right in front of Ann, Janemba materialized in sight. She gasped and leaped back to dodge from nearly being cut in half.
"Shit!" Ann cursed, and saw the other Time Breakers flying off.
"We need to get to Yusuke as fast as possible!" Marissa yelled.
"I'm going to create an opening, you focus on getting his energy signature to move the both of us out of here!" Ann shouted back at Marissa, and she nodded firmly in understanding. The female Saiyan roared and ascended into her second form as electric golden aura raged around her.
Janemba moved once more, and Ann retaliated with an energy wave straight at him. The demon materialized his body once more to evade the female Saiyan's attack, and appeared right behind her, grinning wildly as it was about to swing its sword. However, it widened its eyes as Ann was already twirling her body with a sword of her own out of her Ki, and went to strike the demon. Janemba brought up its own sword just in time, and parried away.
Ann used her other hand, and shot out another sharp beam of Ki at the demon, and was able to pierce it on the chest. Janemba gritted its teeth, and shouted as it lifted up its sword to strike down the beam. Ann retracted her energy in time and spun her body while bringing out her blade again, and violently knocked away the demon away in the air.
"Ann! I got him!" Marissa shouted.
The female Saiyan flickered away and appeared right next to Marissa, who already had a hand extended out. They both held hands, and disappeared from the area.
Janemba stopped and roared loudly in the night skies, its voice echoing with power that tore apart the floating islands around him. Magenta aura raged around it, and Janemba moved at a frighteningly fast speed towards the two Time Patrollers, towards where the rest of the battle was currently going on in Edolas.
TRINITY SWORD!
Erza, in her Heaven's Wheel Armor, used her magic to form an arrow from her swords, and launched it Knightwalker.
GRAVITY CORE!
Knightwalker held out her lance in front of her as it finished morphing into another shape by her will. Her spear produced an orb of mass gravity, and countered Erza's attack, inducing a large explosion between them.
BLUE CRIMSON!
Knightwalker pushed on, and her spear split in two after it glowed. One red, and one blue. Given their colors, the red spear produced flames from its head while the blue created ice. The Captain swiped the red spear, swinging around flames at Erza, who leaped back towards a pillar. Not stopping there however as Knightwalker also swung her blue spear, creating ice as it jutted towards the Requip mage. Erza swung her own swords, letting out her Ki that slashed at the ice so that she was safe.
REQUIP!
Erza's body began to glow another time, and was show in a white leather-like one piece suit that only went down to her pelvis, showing off her upper thigh, and a leather dark pink belt attached on her waist. She wore armored greaves and gauntlets, had oranged colored pauldrons on her shoulders and waist with yellow feather-like decorations, white wings were shown behind her shoulders and wielded twin swords in both of her hands.
MORNING STAR ARMOR… PHOTON SLICER!
Erza's swords began charging a large amount of magic, and at the same time, white aura surrounded herself as she infused her Ki with her magic. The blast traveled towards Knightwalker, and she kept charging in head-on.
RUNESAVE!
Knightwalker commanded her spear to change once more into a white and gold color after merging her spears into one. She attempted to slice through the magic, and failed to do so as an explosion knocked her back once her spearhead touched Erza's attack.
Erza immediately leaped forward and arrived above Knightwalker. She brought her swords overhead and swung them down at her counterpart, only for the Captain to bring up her spear to block, and struggled against the force.
"How…?! My Runesave should have cut through your magic!" Knightwalker snarled through her teeth.
"It's because it wasn't only magic in that attack that I used." Erza said with a smirk, and leaped back to gain some distance.
"What are you talking about?!"
"Allow me to show you then, Knightwalker." Erza lined up her swords so that they were side by side, and brought her arms overhead. White aura raged around the redhead once again, and she shouted as she swung her arms down, power cutting through the ground and travelling towards Knightwalker.
Knightwalker intercepted with her Runesave once more to counteract Erza's attack, but she was sent flying from another explosion, this one even more powerful than the one before, and her back slammed against a wall.
"That attack, had no magic at all." Erza's voice surprised Knightwalker as she looked up to see her Earthland counterpart staring down at her.
'No magic...? W-Wait… we were just over on the side of the ruins… how did she travel here this fast already… she isn't in her speed boosting armor!' Knightwalker thought in fright. But she gritted her teeth and gripped her spear, angrily glaring at Scarlet to regain her senses. "What is it… answer me!"
"My energy." Erza simply replied.
"Y-Your energy…?" Knightwalker stuttered, confusingly.
"Yes, and the one who taught me happens to be the person who you thought you had killed." Erza's Ki leaked out in anger, and the ground cracked around her.
'Does she mean…?!' Knightwalker's thoughts went back to a certain male Saiyan.
"You've harmed Fairy Tail too much, and that is unacceptable. However," Erza dangerously pointed one of her swords at her counterpart. "Trying to kill the one I care for is even more unacceptable!"
Erza's power glowed around her, and Knightwalker stood her ground, continuing to glare at Scarlet.
'All for the sake of Edolas…!' Knightwalker reminded herself, and clenched her teeth. "All for the sake of Edolas!"
Both Erza's shouted, and they both continued their battle.
OPEN: GATE OF THE LION! LOKE!
Lucy's golden key shined as she held it up, and right beside in her a flash of gold light, Loke appeared, glasses, suit and all.
"Sorry to keep you waiting." Loke said, and proceeded to charge at a group of soldiers while rings on both of his arms glowed, and punched them away.
Lucy brought out her whip to defend against the magic bullets, and lashed out on a couple of soldiers nearby.
Gray continued using his magic, creating spikes of ice on the ground to slow down and damage the troops.
Even Coco was running up and kicking away the soldiers.
Yusuke went back and forth in punching, elbowing and kicking soldiers away, knocking them out.
'There's no end to them!' The Saiyan gritted his teeth, and vanished as a flurry of bullets went his way, and was seen using his Ki to knock back more soldiers.
The Fairy Tail group kept fighting back the Royal Army as the process of more soldiers being knocked back, only for more to reappear in their place, and continued on with their assault.
At one point, Legions appeared on the ground after countless waves of soldiers, and caught some of the mages off guard. The large creatures moved in closer with the army, further surrounding the Fairy Tail group.
Gray and Loke were tackled by a Legion, and collapsed onto the ground.
Magic bullets collided against Lucy and Coco, also causing them to fall.
Happy held Carla tightly, who was injured by one of the soldier's bullets earlier on while protecting the blue cat.
"We need more help…" Happy said through his sniffs.
The only one still fighting at that moment was Yusuke, who continued batting away magic bullets in every direction so that most went back against the soldiers who fired them.
"Gray! Loke! Lucy!" Yusuke called out as he glanced over to them, who were struggling on the ground.
The Saiyan gritted his teeth, and swiped his arm, his Ki bursting against the ground so that soldiers flew back from the impact. However, more soldiers appeared in their stead, further irritating the Time Patrollers.
"God damn they're worse than Saibaman and Cell Juniors!" Yusuke shouted, knocking back another group of soldiers.
From the distance, a sprout grew from the ground… until it rapidly grew out of the rocky lands with several roots coming out along with it to wrap around the Legion's necks that had the Fairy Tail group surrounded.
Every single person stopped to look as the plant grew bigger and bigger… until it turned out to be a building that everyone most certainly knew as they saw the banner with the insignia on it.
"Hey… aren't they the one's who always ran…?" A soldier slowly said, wide-eyed.
"It can't be…"
"They came all the way here?!"
Everyone eyed Edolas's Fairy Tail as they made their entrance. Every single member, outside of the building, had magical weapons.
"Charge!" Edo Lucy commanded, and all of the members advanced to fight against the Royal Army.
"Heh… definitely just like ours." Yusuke muttered with a grin.
The Royal Army was pushed back considerably with the arrival of Edolas' Fairy Tail. The members kept attacking them, and with the mages from Earthland now back up on their feet with some assistance, they continued to fight back.
Yusuke shouted as he punched another soldier away so that they crashed into another one. However, he halted charging towards another when he sensed a large energy nearby.
Soldiers cried out in pain from the back of their formation, and the Legions that had their necks wrapped by Edolas' Fairy Tail building were struck to the ground with blood leaking from the holes now present on their body, dead. Soldiers that were under the Legions were crushed by their unexpected demise, and the ground shook and tore apart with more soldiers flying in the air, and crashed to the ground.
Everyone stopped when they felt the large impact, and looked towards the smoke and debris with fallen soldiers littering the ground.
Deep laughter could be heard as the fumes continued to let up. The roots that held the Legions in place from before, now broken, sparked in flames that quickly spread on the animal's carcass. A shadowy figure with glowing eyes was seen from behind the fire, within the smoke, walking… an almost demonic like form from how the flames moved, warping the look.
It talked.
"Everywhere I see, mortals are just the same… it is sad and unfortunate."
'That… that voice…! I-It can't…' Yusuke's breathing hitched, and clenched his teeth.
A black energy ball with a yellow hue was fired off from behind the flames towards the center where everyone was at. Yusuke's body moved on its own from the high level danger and caught the sphere in his hand. He struggled immediately from the amount of raw power that was condensed in such a small orb, and the Saiyan shouted as he shot the energy orb up in the sky, where it destroyed a floating island, with no residing in it fortunately, and the rocks that made up the island began to fall down.
Everybody else watched Yusuke struggle and revert energy orb towards the floating island, and made sounds of surprise and fright as it tore the island apart.
The figure leaped through the flames as it simply brushed away around his body. He spotted Yusuke, still recovering from directing the attack, and went to punch him. But Yusuke caught his fist, and retaliated with a swing of his elbow. In return, the figure grabbed his forearm, halting the Patroller's attack.
Yusuke's eyes shook from who he was currently looking at.
"G-Goku…" Yusuke managed to say. However in his mind, he was absolutely livid. 'This shouldn't be possible… how can he here?! I don't understand…!'
"Oh? You know of me, do you?" The smirk that was etched on Son Goku's face widened. He kicked Yusuke's stomach, causing him to double over, and proceeded to kick his chest, sending the TIme Patroller back, and crashing on his back.
"Yusuke!" The ones from Earthland shouted in worry.
The Saiyan coughed, catching his breath and shakily lifted his upper body to look at the face of Son Goku, who was still mockingly smirking at him. Upon closer look, Yusuke could see scratches on his face, and little dirt on his all black Gi with a long black undershirt that also provided a turtleneck around his neck. He wore a red sash that acted as a belt around his waist and wore white boots. Then, Yusuke spotted the green Potara earing on his left ear, as well as a silver metal ring on the index finger of his right hand.
The two jewelry and the way this person wore in all black had set Yusuke off internally, and he gritted his teeth in anger.
"Yeah… I know of you alright…" Yusuke snarled through his teeth, glaring at his enemy. "You're not Son Goku. You're a faker. Sprouting around nonsense of your justice."
The fake Son Goku was surprised, knowing the meaning of his words. His smirk disappeared for just a couple of seconds, but he closed his eyes and that sickening grin came back.
"Now this is interesting… I'm not on Earth currently, nor am I in that current timeline, nor am I in that universe specifically… enlighten me foolish mortal, exactly how do you know of me?" He opened his eyes as he looked around, but his eyes landed back towards Yusuke in the end.
"I wouldn't worry about that too much." Yusuke discreetly announced. "But if I were you, I'd worry more about your wellbeing."
Power erupted around Yusuke as his clothes and hair swirled around, and he clenched his fists.
"Black, prepare yourself!"
The fake Son Goku, confirmed as Black, cheshire smiled wickedly, and he crossed his arms before separating them and shouted. His own aura was opaque, and pitch-black in color with a tint of dark purple.
"Foolish mortal… foolish Saiyan, I will have great satisfaction in killing you!"
Oh yeah, I definitely did that, bringing Black in.
While I've been typing all of this out, I've been keeping up with the Anime as well as the Manga to see if I can get new ideas, and i definitely have. The entire Universal Tournament Arc is going to be awesome with all the new characters coming in, and the Manga is entirely for more information that's apart from the Anime. i gotta say, there is a lot of exclusive stuff in the Manga compared to the show, which I really like.
I actually had a little bit of trouble incorporating Marissa along with the Fairy Tail mages during fighting the Royal Army's Captain part, but I managed to get it through by rewatching the episodes multiple times and rereading parts of the Fairy Tail manga to work it out. I think I did alright.
Black's appearance here WILL NOT be a one-shot thing, that's all I can say. Same thing with Broly and Janemba, controlled as Time Breakers. I still have more planned for them, just a little DBXV-esque going on here is all. And as for Black appearing at all, it'll all be explained of how it started in the next chapter. In regards of HOW he actually got there, it will be explained in like...a few chapters from now after the Edolas Arc. Don't worry, I'm a doctor.
I almost kind of regret announcing earlier on that RWBY will be the sequel of this story, and if I remember correctly this was before the Black Arc in Super. I'm gonna stick with it though since I know it'll be a fun write, and that it's already been set up like, 10 chapters ago or something. If I hadn't, the sequel of this story would have been MUCH different, and most likely even better than what I had in mind in regards to a RWBY sequel.
I do want to address the power scaling I provided with Whis being a 15, Beerus a 10, SSB Goku like a 8.9, and that my OCs was like, half as strong as Beerus, I just wanted to say that, all of that is pretty much irrelevant now since all that changed during the Black Arc. Then again, power levels ARE bullshit. We can say that, excluding the Grand Priest, the Omniking, and only talking EXCLUSIVELY about Universe 7, Whis is the strongest followed by Beerus, and then I guess either Vegeta or Goku after that. As for Yusuke, Marissa and Ann, we will definitely say that they're weaker than him, which is pretty obvious.
That's pretty much it, so I hope you guys enjoyed! Am I bringing in too much? Lemme know. Please review! I enjoy it when I get reviews and they're fun to read, aside from flaming which I don't really allow. But you know, if I could, I'd make it so that we'd all be able to fly on our own! Kinda random going off on there, but I'm pretty sure I haven't said that yet...I think.
Until then.
