Varvula: Happy birthday to me and Dovan~!

Dovan: (Coughing hard) T-Thank you guys.

Yang: Man, what a way to go. Getting sick on your birthday…Now at least that's a good excuse why you haven't updated.

Sanya: It's hard to type when you sneeze on the screen.

Gwen: That's too gross, even for me.

Yang: Sais the girl who licks a toilet to get out of her chores.

Freddy: Intriguing, did you know that Tenko Chabasira shares the same birthday as Dovan and Varvula? They're both on January 9th.

Dovan: I did not know that.

Shiho: Yeah, you two share a birthday with a Man-Hating Neo-Aikido.

Peace: Tenko doesn't hate males. She just thinks they're rotten perverts.

Yang: Great defending her Peace, you should be a Lawyer.

Peace: You think so? Oh, you're doing the sarcasm thing.

Varvula: Tune in at the end of this chapter, for something special we're revealing.


Chapter 25: Crises in the Upper Yard


The Rescue Team are still riding the Milky Road deeper into the Upper Yard. They were finally able to recover from the traps they escaped from.

"Finally, we can relax for a second," Kuroko sighed in relief.

"Are you kidding?" Luffy asked. "That was probably just a warm-up for later!"

"Warm up?" Cure Papaya asked. "You don't mean…"

"One of the priests waiting on the island is supposedly going to be our biggest challenge," Kuroko replied.

Usopp quivered. "S-So you're telling me...none of what we've just gone through has anything to do with our actual Ordeal?!"

"I don't know," Sanji answered. "I kind of doubt it. Especially the magnitude of that attack back at the docks. I couldn't tell you how it works but it's a serious power."

"You're right," Kuroko agreed with a frown on her face. "I hate to admit it but...It makes Sissy's railgun look like a taser. Eneru shouldn't be taken lightly and I get the instinct feeling he's watching us even now."

"That's weird. He must've been in town," Luffy said.

"That could be the case," Papaya agreed. "He must have attacked them accurately while disguised as a town folk."

"I don't think that's possible," Usopp declared. "This is God we're talking about~! He has eyes on us from so far away~! Watching our every move right now!"

"Eh? I don't think he's God," Kirika declared.

"SSHH~!" Usopp hissed while covering Kirika's mouth. "Don't say that so loudly, are you trying to get us killed?!"

"If he was God, then that guy wouldn't be able to absorb his attack desu~!" Kirika replied while flailing her arms.

"Yeah, that was quite a shock," Kuroko said thinking back. "Someone is capable of devouring the first attack. However, he made himself vulnerable for the second one."

"Still people say that God is great right?" Usopp questioned. "I was taught to show respect to those with powers! You don't have to mean self-preservation!"

"Fine, but do you realize that not every God in the world is great?" Sanji questioned. "Like the God of Poverty (Luffy), or the God of Pestilence (Usopp.)"

"Let's not forget the God of Death (Kirika)," Kuroko chimed in.

"OH WHAT DO YOU KNOW!?" Usopp, Kirika and Luffy comically yelled.

"Uh guys," Papaya announced. She noticed more Sky Lampreys emerging out of the Milky Road.

"AHH~! NOT AGAIN~!" Usopp screamed.


Touma, Megumi, Nami, Ray, Wannai, Natsu, Asuka, Iona and Robin were wandering around the area looking for the others or the Going Merry. Ray was in the front with his arms behind his back whistling.

"I never saw any trees this tall before," Megumi observed in awe.

"Yeah this is impressive," Iona added. "Still, be on your guard. If what Nami said was true, there's some dangerous people in the Upper Yard."

"If they attack us then I'll kick their asses, even that Eneru guy," Natsu smirked.

"You wouldn't be saying that if you saw what I saw," Nami grumbled.

"Well this is a problem," Ray announced as he stopped. He and the others noticed a Milky Road separating them from the other side.

"Whoa~! It's just like that stream we took to get to Sky Island~!" Megumi stated.

"So how do we get across?" Touma asked.

"Leave it to us~!" Megumi announced grabbing Asuka and Iona.

"W-What do you mean?" Iona asked.

"Just transform," Megumi nodded. Asuka and Iona just sighed as the three girls transformed into their Pretty Cure.

Lovely: Immense love spreading throughout the world! Cure Lovely!

Fortune: The stars of hope that lights up the night sky! Cure Fortune!

Fortune and Lovely were glancing at Flamingo who didn't do her pose.

Flamingo:...Do I have to do this every time?!

Lovely/Fortune:...

Flamingo: Fine...Fluttering Wings! Cure Flamingo!

"How do I get the feeling that these transformations are going to be annoying?" Nami commented.

"True, but their poses are really funny," Natsu stated.

"Oh wow~!" Ray said, impressed by their transformation. "For a second there, I thought you were going to turn into a flamingo."

"Why is that the only thing everyone mentions when hearing my name?!" Flamingo exclaimed with tick marks on her forehead.

Wannai found herself being carried by Lovely, bridal style. "W-What are you doing Lovely?"

"Just hang on!" Lovely started with a smile. Lovely then jumped across the Milky Road with Wannai holding onto her, landing on the other side safely.

"Holy crap~!" Natsu announced. "They made it~!"

"Good idea Lovely," Fortune said. "If we each carry one person across, we can get across there more quickly." She glanced at Flamingo. "Flamingo, you're the fittest one out of us so you can carry Touma across."

Touma and Cure Flamingo found themselves in an awkward position. Flamingo carrying the boy's bridal style. Both of them had blank expressions on their faces. 'This is so embarrassing.'

"Red Alert~! Touma has another girl in his harem~!" Ray recalled Tsuchimikado's teasing. "And judging by this position, I say that she's a keeper."

"S-Shut up~!" Flamingo and Touma yelled in unison, their faces flushed.

"Just hurry it up you two~!" Fortune called out.

"A-Alright, hang on Touma," Flamingo sighed. She jumped successfully without any incident followed by Cure Fortune who jumped after.

"Aren't you going to help the others?" Touma asked.

"They said they're going to try a different way to get across," Fortune answered.

Before anyone could ask, they heard Ray yelling a Tarzan-like shout as he swung across the Milky Road and landed safely. "TADA~!"

Lovely clapped amazed. "Wow~! That was impressive Ray~! I wish I could do that!"

"Still...was that yell necessary?" Cure Flamingo questioned with a sweatdropped.

"Of course it is, you can never swing on vines in the jungle without screaming~!" Ray nodded.

"He's lost his mind," Nami sweatdropped from the other side.

"Here's the vine~!" Ray called out as he brought it back to Nami and the others.

"My turn~!" Natsu excitedly said. He grabbed the vine and wasted no time swinging across. "AHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA_URP~!"

Before he had even reached the halfway point, Natsu's face started to swell up. "Someone get me off this crazy thing~!"

"Seriously?!" Fortune dryly groaned. "Even on vines, he gets motion sickness!?"

"That was an odd yell," Ray stated.

"I-I don't think it was a yell," Wannai sweatdropped.

Luckily Natsu got to the other side but fell face first into the ground. Robin went next swinging across without any shouting. Once she was across, only Nami remained.

"Okay...this seems easy enough," Nami thought out loud. However, once she caught the vine. She looked down at how deep it was. "W-Wow...that's pretty high."

"You can do it Nami!" Megumi cheered.

"Be careful!" Robin called out. "If you fall you most certainly die!"

"Yeah~! There might be some sky sharks waiting to eat your flesh," Ray added.

"You guys seriously need to stop trying to give "encouragement," Flamingo said with air quotes.

"IS THAT SUPPOSED TO BE YOUR IDEA OF HELPING!?" Nami comically yelled at the two. She took a deep breath and closed her eyes before jumping and swinging across.

However, she realized she was going too fast. She opened her eyes and noticed she was going straight into a tree. "AHH! I'M GOING TO FAST~!"

Robin sprouts multiple arms stopping Nami before she could crash into the tree. "Well look at that...you're not gutless."

Nami collapsed onto her knees exhausted. "T-Thank you for catching me, Robin."

"Any time…" Robin answered as she walked ahead.

"That woman is really...something," Fortune commented.

"Well I like her, I'm always into those quiet and emotionless types," Ray said.

"Really?" Touma asked.

"Yup I'm also into Catgirl, maids and spandex. Apparently that's what Kinoko had said," Ray shrugged.

"I guess Robin isn't the only one that's strange," Flamingo said dryly.

"You know you would've gone better if you did the "AHAHAHAAH!" call," Natsu stated.

"THAT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH IT~!" Nami protested angrily.


Panting could be heard from Hibiki as she was struggling to stand after receiving Shizuka's combo strikes. Her body was covered in scratch marks while Shizuka was surprisingly unscathed with no injuries. Not far from the two, Cynthia was in no better shape as she lay on her stomach, barely conscious. Unlike Shizuka, Koura had a few bruises on his body from the girl's attacks. The boy planted his left foot on her back.

"How cute you look with that passive face of yours," Shizuka admired with her hands on her cheeks. "I would love to capture you and get to know each other. What do you say?"

"N-No way!" Hibiki yelled out looking uncomfortable.

"Shame, you would make an adorable doll," Shizuka's fingers morphed into thin brown whips, looking lively the way they move. "I'll make you mine, Whip Lash: Viper Strikes~!"

Just as Shizuka unleashed her whips towards Hibiki, the Gungir user made a beeline towards her. Hibiki was able to quickly swerve out of the way of all incoming whips while closing the distance. Once she got a good enough distance between Shizuka, Hibiki swung her gauntlet fist towards her startled face.

CRACK~!

The second Hibiki's fist connected, Shizuka instantly shattered into millions of pieces.

"Well done, you manage to trigger my defense system,"

Hearing her voice, Hibiki's eyes widened in horror. Slowly, shards of the woman levitated up from the ground and began to orbit around her. "W-What's going on?"

"You should know…Gungir user," Shizuka's voice echoed, causing Hibiki to shiver. "Since you deny my love, I'll have no choice but obtain your relic the hard way. Counter Mirror: Onslaught."

The shards stopped rotating, and simultaneously fired sharp-white beams at Hibiki, causing her to scream in pain. Some of the beams were able to pierce through a bit of her armor, causing some blood to leak out.

"H-Hibiki," Cynthia growled trying to get up, but her body was paralyzed due to Koura's snake venom. Once the onslaught was over, Hibiki's gear was deformed, revealing her bare skin. She wobbled a bit before falling on her stomach KO'd.

"Oh my, you're going commando underneath that outfit~!" Shizuka gushed as she walked over to her body.

"Get away from her!" Cynthia demanded angrily. She wanted to sock the lesbian pervert in the face.

"Don't you dare to talk to my sister in that tone," Koura quietly snapped while slamming his paw-like foot into Cynthia's back.

Before she could even kneel down to the beaten girl, a large brown wall emerged from the ground between her and Hibiki. Shizuka's enjoyment quickly changes to annoyance as she quickly crosses her arms to block the multiple earth-like limbs emerging from the wall and begin to onslaught her.

"Big Sister~!" Koura cried out. Before he could react, Cure Summer dropped kicked him in the back of the boy's head, causing him to fall forward and off of Cynthia.

"Are you okay Cynthia?" Summer asked while helping her to her feet.

"Yeah, but I still...can't move," Cynthia said, immobilized.

"HISSS~!" The viper lunged at the two with its fangs ready to sink into their skin. Todd appeared in front of the two girls and swung his sword, slicing the head off the viper.

"GYAH~!" Koura cried out with his eyes widening in pain. He held his head, as he knelt onto his knees.

"Nothing personal Koura," Todd declared while pointing his sword near his head. "But we need to keep you down for a while."

Terra was beside him with her hands on the ground. She was focused on the wall with a menacing look. Meanwhile, Shizuka continued on the defense with limbs not giving her any breathing room. She clicks her teeth in annoyance, "Crap, this is getting us nowhere. Time for a tactical retreat."

She snapped her fingers, emitting a large circular mirror in front of her. The earth fists vanish through the mirror, causing the rims around the mirror to glow a bright white light. "Counter Mirror: Reflection Shield."

The center of the mirror glowed, releasing a large massive beam of light. The moment it made contact with the earth wall, it withstood it for about a second before being blown apart. Dirt and gravel flew everywhere, blinding Terra, Todd, Cynthia, and Summer a bit. While they try to avoid the debris, Shizuka morphs her entire arm into a whip and retrieves the down Koura from the ground. Once the dust cleared up, four noticed the two were gone.

"Damn it, she took Koura," Todd cursed.

'Don't worry Todd, we'll get him from that witch,' Terra wrote with a nod. 'In the meantime, we need to bring these three back to base. One of them needs medical treatment.'


Shirabe and Shervan were blown back by the young Dragon Slayer's brute strength. The two were still struggling against Dimanu who was still able to attack them despite how many hits he received.

"No matter what we throw at him, he's able to withstand it," Shirabe said in between breaths "He's like a human tank."

"T-Tank?" Shervan asked while turning towards her.

"I'll explain it to you later," Shirabe replied.

"Come on, are you two done already?!" Dimanu announced. His clothes were still wrecked, yet he still had a crazy grin. "If you're not going to attack, then I will~!"

He charged towards the two with his left arm morphing into a giant spike ball, in chains. "Sea Prism Dragon: Mace~!"

Shirabe and Shervan split up in order to avoid being crushed by the large iron ball. Shervan ran while creating a magic circle in front of him, creating a medium size green orb of wind. "Delta Sky Dragon: Jet Sphere~!"

The second Shervan fired the orb at Dimanu, the boy was already hunching over by the orb connecting into his stomach. 'T-That was fast. I barely saw it coming.'

At the same time Dimanu's was hit, Shirabe launched her two yo-yo's emitting a light pink shockwave in an X formation rushing towards him.

Beta Style: Spiral Wave X

Due to Dimanu's winded state from the sphere attack, he didn't react when the shockwave landed on his back, emitting an explosion.

"Is he down?" Shervan asked, while still on guard. His question was answered when Dimanu flew at him with a maniacal grin on his face. Shervan quickly prepared to block an incoming kick, but fell for Dimanu feint and was launched into a tree by his punch.

"You're not that bad, kid. I actually felt those hits you and yo-yo girl did," Dimanu commented with no malice in his voice. "But you're holding back."

"W-What are you talking about?" Shervan asked nervously.

"I wonder why…?" Dimanu thought out loud. He then placed his hand around Shervan's neck, not to strangle him, but to lift him up. "You don't want the girl to find out?"

"F-Found out...a-about what?" The boy winced, looking confused.

When the dust cleared up, Shirabe caught a glimpse of Dimanu holding up Shervan by the neck. Images of the young boy's injuries when they first met flash in her mind, causing her heart to race. She backflips, combining both buzz saws into one large monowheel vehicle. "LEAVE HIM ALONE~!"

Extreme Sigma Style: Forbidden Full Moon!

Dimanu noticed Shirabe's new style, and extended his left arm towards him, casting a dark gray magic circle. "Sea Prism Stone Dragon; Titan Fist~!"

A magic circle appeared, releasing a large prism stone-like fist. He then launched it towards Shirabe. The wheel blade clashed with the fist, both at a stand still as sparks were flying. Her teeth gritted as she tried to push through the prism stone fist, only to be gradually losing to the stalemate.

Suddenly, a faint pink infinite symbol emerges on her chest, causing a surge of energy to flow around her body, and gear.

"HaaaAAAAAAH~!" With one final push of unknown origin, Shirabe's wheel blade cleave the Titan Fist in half, causing it to vanish the moment it touches the ground. But that didn't stop Shirabe from charging towards Dimanu. Her head filled with rage as the Infinite symbol began to glow brighter. Due to her focus on slicing the boy in half, she was unaware of the source of her power.

"This is really interesting," Dimanu said, a little surprised. He raised his right hand and caught the front of the wheel. No blood appeared on his hand as his fingers grip on the sawblade, causing the wheel to stop spinning. "Even though you're not a slouch, you're getting in my way."

The sawblade shattered in pieces from the boy's grip, which caused Shirabe's expression to change to shock, the symbol faded instantly. She hadn't noticed Dimanu clenched his right fist coated with gray stones. "It's time for you to have your lights out."

Shirabe had no time to react when his fist plowed right into her face. The force was enough to send her flying, her eyes widened before rolling back into her head. Her entire gear armor vanished in a glowing light, showing her normal clothes. Shervan could only watch as his friend landed on the ground in a heap, motionless.

"S-SHIRABE~!" Shervan cried out. He backhand Dimanu with a tremendous gust of wind launching him across the opening. Shervan then flew towards the motionless girl sprawled out form. The second he saw Shirabe's pure white eyes, he quickly grabbed her wrist checking for her pulse, fearing that she might be dead.

'Thank goodness, she's just unconscious,' He sighed in relief once he found a pulse. Shervan then quickly lifted her up, bridal style. 'I have to get out of here. I can't fight Dimanu alone. He's too durable and might risk Shirabe getting hurt even more. My best hope is to locate the others.'

Dimanu quickly recovered and noticed Shervan flying away while carrying Shirabe. "So you want to play tag huh?" The Sea Prism Stone Slayer wasted no time chasing after him on foot. "Well ready or not, here I come~!"


Luffy and the rescue team were in the middle of dealing with a school full of Lampreys emerging from the Milky Road.

"GAH~! SKY LAMPREYS!" Usopp yelled, frightened.

"Hey, what do you think would those things taste good with some salt?" Luffy asked.

"Why is your stomach the first thing to speak in situations like this!?" Kuroko asked facepalming.

"Never thought I would say this, but now's not the time to be trading recipes," Sanji agreed.

One of lamprey's ambushes from behind only to get sliced in half by Kirika's scythe. Cure Papaya kicked the second trying to flank Kirika. While the two girls defend from behind, Luffy and Sanji took care of the front. Kuroko made sure to prepare herself if any of them fell off.

"I am beginning to hate Sky Island…" Usopp grumbled. "This place is scary."

Kuroko turned to the coward. "You want to get off here?"

"What kind of question is that!?" Usopp retorted. "You want me to die! I'm allowed to be scared, you know!"

Luffy noticed something up in the distance. "Hey~! Look there's a giant head blocking our way!"

"Not quite. It's a statue," Sanji corrected.

"But it looks like a dead end," Luffy said.

"Hey look, there are four entrances we can go to!" Kirika announced. Just like she said the giant statue Luffy saw revealed four entrances.

"Great," Sanji groaned. "How much you want to bet this will lead to different places."

Once they got close Kuroko read out loud. "Ordeal of Swamp, Iron, String and Spheres...?"

"Is it just me or does none of these things sound much like an ordeal?" Kirika questioned, a bit puzzled.

"Looks can be deceiving," Kuroko warned. "Whatever we choose will decide if we have an easy time or a hard time."


Varvula: Now to celebrate our birthdays, Dovan is working on our story length, since all we ever do here is goof off in these intros and outros.

Shiho: instead, we're going to goof off in another world~! Which changes nothing.

Varvula: Shut up, and start the trailer.

Freddy: What trailer? Dovan didn't create a trailer.

Dovan: I didn't have time to create one...with me being sick and all.

Yang: Dude, we don't need a trailer. Let's just tell them that we're in the middle of a war with Fairy Tail trying to kill us!

Varvula:...

Dovan:...(Sneezing)

Shiho:...Way to reveal the plot line already.

Gwen: So is there a reason why Fairy Tail is after us?

Freddy: Because apparently, Dovan is inside the body of an enemy they had to deal with countless times named Brooke Hendrison. He was a very dangerous mage, who tried to kill his own twin sister, and their family trying to take over Fiore and split up guilds.

Peace: Luckily, Fairy Tail took down the Hendrison's down with the help of the twin sister Kairia Hendrison, the Sky Devil Slayer.

Dovan: And now a typical ordinary boy is inside a psychotic criminal and being chased by Fiore's strongest guilds. Dubbing me Public enemy #1.

Gwen: Well look at the bright side of this at least you aren't joining Fairy Tail like a typical OC protagonist.

Sanya: You don't like Fairy Tail?

Gwen: I was rooting for the cool apocalyptic dragon to win.

Varvula: Next Chapter: The Devil's New Victim

Dovan: Honestly (Coughing) The only reason why I continue on with Fairy Tail is when they introduce Wendy Marvell and Cobra in the Oracion Seis Arc.

Shiho: Which I quote that Natsu did not beat Cobra. It was a tie, stupid Brain attacking him like that.

Yang: This is what happens with Fairy Tail nerds.
