A/N: Damn it! I kept forgetting to bring this up, someone wrote a fanfic a while back that's based on this one called TitaninaXHunter. I'm sorry it took these long to mention it but to be fair life was crappy since it was published (My mom died, I was tetchily homeless for a month and I moved to completely different town that's not in the SF Bay Area). Sorry it took this but man... life got in the way... anyway enjoy!

Chapter 83: A Man and his Octopus

The leader of the legion Platoon looked t the five in front of him, all of them were embarrassed. But he looked at Dan and Samuel in particular.

"Can you tell me why put the piece through the x-ray machine." Said the man.

Samuel sighed, "I' going to be completely honest, putting it through the X-ray machine was the lesser of two evils." He explained.

"What do you mean?" asked the man.

"According to my calculations if Dan hid it on his person they would have detected it. If he denied that he had it they would ask him to strip down… and if he refused there would be a 90 percent chance he would have been and I believe the proper term is "tazed"." Said Samuel.

"Yeah… I think that was the kinder thing to do…" said Coco.

"Uh-huh." Agreed Sugarboy.

"Totally." Agreed Mary.

"Dan Straight!" agreed Dan.

"Please stop saying that." Muttered Mary.

"It was a no win scenario." Said Samuel, "I chose the less painful loss." The man scowled.

"He has a point Byro." Said a voice.

They turned and saw the man who originally gave orders to the group.

"Lapointe." Said the man known as Byro.

"I know the reason why you're unable to bring it back." Said the man Lapointe, "To be honest we should have done those before sending out those two."

He glared at Samuel and Dan.

He took out a bag.

"This back has a spell that hides whatever from detection from either magic or earth ways." Lapointe explained, "It's only active if something's put in there though."

"But isn't such a bag very illegal?" asked Samuel.

"I doubt we'll get caught." Said Lapointe.

He handed Byro the bag.

"There is no failure this time!" said Lapointe.

Byro nodded.

Meanwhile at the Guild Hall it was just a normal day.

"Here's your lunch." Said Mirajane giving Evergreen a large plate.

"I can't wait until he's out of me." Muttered Evergreen eating the food.

"I know." Mirajane to her sister-in-law.

"I know the pregnancy cravings are bad." Agreed Erza who was eating a large slice of cake.

"I never thought you had them…" said Evergreen glaring at Erza.

At the request board Grenda and Marius were looking.

"So what job do you want to do today?" she asked her boyfriend.

"I don't know." Answered Marius.

"Hey Forsch!" said Mabel.

"What is it?" asked Forsch.

"I made a new Frog Suit for you!" said Mabel.

Mabel held up a cute little blue frog suit.

"Oh thank you!" said Forsch looking at the blue frog suit.

"That was nice of you." said Rouge.

"I figured this little one could use some more." Said Mabel.

"I compete agree." Said Rogue, "Forsch does need extras."

"Why?" asked Forsch.

"No reason.." said Rogue.

It's best not to know…

Lucy however sighed.

"Is everything all right?" asked Michelle.

"I'm just worried, it's been a while since the Legion Platoon last showed up." Said Lucy, "I know they're probably going to do something big."

At the Bridge, Byro was going through security, he took out a small octopus and showed the people their papers.

"So an octopus… that's an interesting pet." Said the guard going over the papers.

"It was very deduct to find a vet who could immunize him." said Byro.

"That makes a lot of sense." Said the guard going over the papers.

He went through and headed to Fairy Tail.

Back at Fairy Tail Gajeel, Pantherlily and Gideon came back from a job.

"We're back." Said Pantherlily.

"Same old, same old." Said Gajeel with a shrug.

Gajeel looked around.

"Sorry but Natsu got called in by Blubs and Durland." Joked Cana.

"Seriously?" asked Gajeel.

"You do have the face like you want to start a brawl." Laughed Mabel.

"It was a pretty tame job." Said Gideon.

"You were the one who chose it…" muttered Gajeel.

Before the conversation could continue the front wall of the Guild Hall suddenly exploded.

"What was that?" asked Mabel.

They looked and saw a tentacle had done it.

Then Byro walked in.

"Let me guess, you're a member of the legion Platoon?" asked Lucy.

"That's right. My name is Byro Cracy." He said.

"You're Byro." Said Pantherlily shocked.

"Oh wow…" said Lucy, "he's the opposite of his Edolas version."

"Yeah…" agreed Pantherlily.

His Edolas counterpart is a small, weak and frail old man. Which is who their surprised.

"Lucy Heartfilia give me the piece now." He said.

However he ha to dodge an attack from Erza.

"I'm going to guess you're the strongest member." Said Erza.

Byro didn't say thing but glared at Erza, she quickly requiped into her Lighting Emerges Armor and shot off a lighting bolt at him, however he deflected the attack with his staff causing Erza to scowl. She knew this wasn't going to be an easy fight.

"Lucy get out of here!" called out Erza, "I'll handle him!"

Lucy nodded she grabbed the clock piece and started to run, with Michelle and Pacifica.

Erza looked at four S Class Wizards that were assembled there.

"Two of you should go with Lucy, the other will be backing me up." She said.

Gajeel and Cana decided to go with Lucy. Mabel and Mirajane decided to back up Erza.

"Kanaloa! Got after them!" said Byro.

The giant octopus began to follow them.

"Before we continue this fight we're going outside." Said Erza.

"Don't want to ruin the guild hall?" asked Byro.

"That and one of our members is here and she's extremely pregnant." Said Erza.

Byro noticed Elfman and Lisanna helping Evergreen.

"If I go into labor I'm blaming you!" yelled Evergreen to Byro.

"Fine." Said Byro.

They left the guildhall to fight.

"So…" said Grenda, "Should we call Soos?"

"Let's wait until the fight is actually over." Said Lisanna.

Meanwhile with Lucy's group they ran away from the giant octopus. Which should be noted also had pincers like a crawfish.

"Why does an octopus have pincers." Said Pacifica.

"It's from Earthland, you know a lot of animals are like that." Said Lucy.

"Um… is it wrong that when I say it looks deicloius?" asked Michelle.

Kanaloa (which is the octopus' name) stared at Michelle unsure how to react to such a statement.

"I don't think you should eat it." Said Lucy.

Kalona began to glare at them but before he could attack he was suddenly zapped by lighting, and Cana and Gajeel showed up.

"Good." Said Lucy breathing a sigh of relief.

Lucy gave the clock piece to Michelle since she knew Michelle shouldn't be fighting this fight… even if they were just fighting an octopus.

"Open Gate of the Bull Taurus! Open Gate of the Lion! Leo!; called out Lucy.

"Open Gate of the Tucanae! Tucanae! Open Gate of the peacock! Pavonis!" called out Pacifica.

All four of the sprits appear.

"All right are you ready?" asked Cana.

Lucy prepared her whip, Pacifica prepared her wand and everyone was ready for a fight.

Back with Erza fight, she took it outside far enough from the Guild Hall. She had since switched to her Black Wing Armor, as his magic was used to deflect it.

The two were engaged in sword to staff battling.

"You're doing very well." Said Erza deciding to engage in banter, "Most people don't handle themselves well when they fight me."

"I am not most people." Muttered Byro.

Erza glared at him.

Back with the other fight…

"Is today Tuesday?" asked Tucanae.

"What?" asked Pacifica.

"Because it shouldn't be Tako Tuesday." He aid shooting Kanaloa with his toucannon.

"I'm going to pretend that made sense…" said Pacifica.

"Oh come on… I would have thought you knew what the word meant…" said Tucanae.

That was when Kanaloa shot ink at them which they dodged, it hit some rocks which started to melt.

"Okay… that's bad." Said Lucy.

"Do not worry, if one of is about to be hit. I am sure that myself and my fellow spirits will pull out of the way." Said Pavonis.

"You guys don't have to." Said Lucy.

"I think we can be able to dodge on our own." Said Pacifica.

"If you say so." Said Pavonis

Back near the Guild Hall the two continued to fight with Mirajane and Mabel both at the ready to jump in.

That was when Mabel's cell phone rang and saw it was Dipper.

"Hey I noticed some things going on near the Guild Hall, is everything all right?" asked Dipper on the other end.

"Don't worry mom is handling it… don't worry about the Guild Hall." Said Mabel, "If she needs help me and Mira got it, so just help out Ford for the rest of the day." Said Mabel, "I'm sure Cana and Gajeel are fine protecting the clock piece."

"Wait… did you just say they're protecting the clock piece." Said Dipper on the other end.

"Yeah, I said it's fine." Said Mabel.

Mabel heard an explosion on the other end.

"Dipper! They've all escaped!" she heard Ford yell.

"It sounds whatever you're doing is worse on your end…" said Mabel.

There were many strange noises coming from Dipper's end.

"You're right. Once I stop the containment breach I'll come over and check." Said Dipper.

He quickly hung up and Mabel sighed.

"Figures this happens on a day when he's with Ford." Sighed Mabel.

"Last time it happened on your day out so I think it balances out." Said Mirajane.

"True." Said Mabel.

With the actual fight the two were locked with neither budging.

The two glared at each other.

"Requip!" said Erza deicing to break it.

She requiped twin swords. With this she was able to push him back at a little. She then requiped into Flight Armor.

He to block the quick attacks from Erza.

However he knew what to do.

"Devine Arrow!" he called out.

He shot large purple arrow at Erza she barely dodged but when she did she realized she couldn't use her magic. Byro took this chance to hit her with his staff. However she was able to recover quickly.

"There's a reason I'm one of the Ten Wizard Saints." Said Erza.

"It's because you "Sacrificed Your Life" then they let you keep your title when you turned out to be alive." He said.

"Well I trained to diverse my title." Muttered Erza glaring at him.

She requiped a staff while at the same time switching out a rather smile armor however on her back was a cape. On the cape was the symbol of the 10 Wizard Saints.

Byro scrolled knowing that Erza was going all out with this fight.

Back with the fight with Kanaloa.

He shot ink at Michele.

Lucy used her whip to pull her of the way thankfully.

While Kanaloa was distract with Lucy getting her out of the way he didn't notice Gajeel, Taurus and Pavonis each attacking him form behind with their weapons ready.

All three struck casing the giant Octopus pain. With Taurus even cutting one of the limbs off.

"Looks like it's become a septopus!" joked Tucanae.

"You stole that one from a movie." Said Pacifica.

"Yeah and…" said Tucanae.

However Kanaloa was now even more mad than before and began to attack them all with their tentacles.

Even knocking out Taurus.

"Sorry Lucy but I couldn't Mooove out the way fast enough…" said Taurus.

"It's okay." Sighed Lucy.

"This got worse hasn't it?" asked Michelle.

"Looks like it." Said Cana.

Back with Erza's fight, Jellal came back from a job.

He saw his wife fighting Byro and noticed Mirajane and Mabel off to the side and joined them.

"Legion Platoon?" asked Jellal.

The two nodded.

"You should fine Lucy's group, they're need more help." Said Mirajane.

Jellal nodded and left to find Lucy.

Byro had noticed this and tried to stop him but Erza stopped.

"You honestly think fighting him will be any easier?" asked Erza.

"Why are you defending that criminal?" asked Byro.

Erza gave him a deadpan look.

It was often joked that her merge with Jellal was one of the world's worst kept secrets.

Heck due to the whole "Should two Wizard Saint Fight Would Cause a Cataclysm" had led to several jokes about her marriage, the two most popular being "And thank the lord that Erza and Jellal are in a very loving relationship because who knows what would happen if they fought constantly." And "Sex on the other hand is something no man should know… though from what I hear it does happens on a regular basis down on Earth/Oregon/Gravity Falls".

It's rumored that the only reason why the Magic Council doesn't go after Jellal when he's Mystogan that it will lead at least half of the 10 Wizard Saint revolting.

For someone to not know… was just weird…

"You seriously don't know." Said Erza.

"I am not one for whatever is going on Earth." Said Byro.

"I see…" said Erza.

The two continued to fight.

Back with the fight with Kanaloa, the Octopus used his pincers to try to attack Lucy from Loke managed to punch him back.

"Thanks Loke!" said Lucy.

"My pleasure!" said Loke.

Pavonis threw its chain to bind one of the pincers, while it was distracted. "All right! Fire!" shouted Pacifica as she, Tucanae and Cana all fired attacked. However Kanaloa was able to shrug them off and managed to get the chain off him and toss Pavonis into a tree.

"Sorry it looks like I have taken too much damage." She said as she struggled to get up.

"It's okay." Said Pacifica.

Pavonis nodded and went back to the Celestial Spirit World.

"Great we lost the peacock." Said Gajeel.

"Don't worry about her, worry about that thing." Said Pacifica.

"Yeah it's hard when both of my backup went away." Muttered Gajeel.

"Yeah who thought something that could be delicious with soy sauce be so tough." Said Tucanae.

"I know it does look deicloius." Said Michelle.

"I know right!" said Tucanae.

This just angered the giant octopus even more.

"Yeah… we shouldn't be talking about eating him." sighed Lucy.

Yes… even if octopus is very delicious…

Uh… anyways back with Erza's fight.

She continued to go toe to toe with Byro often switching out weapons once he got too used to her using them.

"Why must you be in our way?" muttered Byro as they continued to fight.

"You really don't know do you?" asked Erza.

Byro glared at her.

"If I told you, you wouldn't believe me." Muttered Erza.

"What's that supposed to mean?" asked Byro.

Erza requiped to a much a larder sword ad easily pushed him back.

Byro glared at her but at the same time a small part of him wondered what she had meant by that.

But most of them pushed that out of his mind as he counted to fight her.

Back with the Kanaloa fight, the Octopus managed to pick up Tucanae and toss him very far away.

Pacifica sighed as she got the message from him.

"He's fine." Said Pacifica.

"Are you sure?" asked Cana.

"Celestial Sprit." Reminded Loke.

"Oh… right…" said Cana.

"Who would have thought that Octopus would be so powerful." Said Gajeel with is eye twitching.

"I know…" muttered Lucy.

Kanaloa began to shot at them with his corrosive ink.

"Iron Dragon Roar!"

The tornado made out of iron particles wasn't enough to block the ink as it easily cut through the particles shocking everyone.

"Okay I did not see that coming!" said Lucy.

Kanaloa glared at them but then realized something… it didn't need to fight ALL of them.

He slammed Michelle with a tentacle.

"Michelle!" cried out Lucy.

She ended up dropping the piece which Kanaloa managed to grab with it's pincer.

The octopus then jumped into the air and flew away.

"It could fly!" yelled everyone but Lucy and Michelle in shock.

Lucy however was checking on Michelle.

"I don't feel pain remember." Said Michelle.

"I know… but still." Said Lucy.

"They have the piece…" cried Michelle, "I'm so sorry… I wish I could have done something… but if I do… there's a chance…"

'I know… it's fine… it really is." Assured Lucy

"Quit whining about it!" Muttered Gajeel, "We get it you're a double agent and you're having a hard time."

Michelle sighed.

"That doesn't mean you should yell at her!" yelled Lucy.

"That's enough!" called out Jellal who just arrived.

They turned to him.

"Sorry… I missed the fight." He apologized.

"It's fine." Said Cana.

We should go back to the Guild Hall." Said Jellal.

"He's right, there's no point worrying about it." Said Pacifica.

Back with Erza's fight, the two were once again locked in battle.

That was when Kanaloa flew over, Byro noticed that he had the piece. He pushed Erza back and jumped on the giant flying Octopus.

"They have the piece." Said Mirajane.

"I know." Said Erza.

"Come on let's go see when Soos can come over and fix this." Said Mabel.

Byro with a shrunken Kanaloa went to the Bridge Complex. After showing the papers about Kanaloa, with the one of the guards cooing over poor Kanaloa being "septopus", Byro put the bag containing the clock Piece through the X-Ray. It just showed random stuff in the bag… however the machine started beeping strangely.

The Technician Paled.

"Put your hands up now!" they yelled.

"What?" asked Byro.

"I said put them up now!" they yelled.

They opened up and bag and found the clock piece.

"You are in much more trouble than the others who tired to steal this." Said one of the TSA Agents.

Byro merely scowled.

Meanwhile at the Guild Hall Soos had closed down the Shack earlier in order to fix the guildhall with Gajeel and Laxus helping as well.

The others from the Shack where there as well including Dipper and Ford who had contained what had gone wrong.

"So do you know if they have it this or not yet?" asked Dipper.

"Not yet… if the TSA doesn't come within the next couple of hours then we'll know they finally won." Said Erza.

"there are ways to get it passed security after all." Said Stan, "Trust me… magic has found ways."

"However the TSA always have to be updated on the spells." Said a voice.

They turned and saw a TSA Agent.

"Yo! I have your McGuffin that that's been stolen what… four times already." Said the TSA Agent.

"Three." Said Michelle.

"Whatever." Said the TSA.

Meanwhile Lapointe had arrived at where Byro was being held.

"All right… we are letting him go thanks you providing bail, I am sure you're aware of what they've been trying to pull right?" asked another.

"I am aware and I don't condone it." Lied Lapointe.

"Anyways I should inform you that Mr. Cracy's court date have yet to be scheduled. And also that he will be wearing a tracker to make sure he's no where in the vicinity of any bridge until his court date." Explained the Agent.

"Excuse me." Said Lapointe.

"The other five did break laws, but due to reasons they were let go." Said the Agent, "However Mr. Cracy broke more laws than they did."

He produced the image of the bag.

"This bag had a masking spell. It would have let him pass through without dictation. However the spell was several months out of date meaning we could detect the spell itself." Explained the agent.

"What do you mean several months out of date?" asked Lapointe.

At the Guild Hall, they were having the same conversation about the bag.

"It's a good thing that the bag was several months out of date. Whoever gave him the bag either got a used one, was setting him out the fail or used a spell on an old web site that wasn't up to date if they made it themselves." Explained the TSA Agent.

"So it was just luck we managed to get it this time." Said Ford.

"Pretty much." Said the TSA Agent, "Anyways hope you'll still be able to keep your McGuffin next time!"

The TSA Agent left.

"Well… that was lucky." Said Mabel.

Yeah but…" said Erza, "I think we should be even more worried."

"What do you mean?" asked Grenda.

"The Oracion Seis was the real ones behind it, remember, there have been three attempts to retire it but all three times failed. They might start getting suspicious." Said Jellal.

"You think they might attack soon?" asked Mabel.

"We can't be too careful." Said Erza, "We all have to be ready!"

Everyone in the room nodded in agreement.

That was when Natsu, Gray and Happy arrived.

"Oh come on did we miss something!" yelled Natsu.

On Earthland, Byro held Kanaloa as Lapointe glared at him.

"You can't blame me." Said Byro, "You're the one who gave me the bag."

"I don't want to hear it." Muttered Lapointe.

Byro didn't say anything.

Elsewhere on Earthland the Oracion Seis met up to discus what was going on.

"Seriously? They failed again?" asked Brain II.

"It's the third time." Said Angel.

"Fairy Tail isn't behaving as we through they would." Muttered Brain II.

"Something must have been happened." Said Cobra.

Brain II realized something.

"What is it?" asked Grim Reaper.

"Just something I realized…" he said, "We need to check if it is true or not…"

Fairy Tail wasn't aware but soon everything would change in the fight… and when it did change it would be in a way none of them ever expected…

However said changes still wont' happen for a while… either way… they will coming.

Next Time: Dipper is being haunted by the Dream Hipster and wants to deal with it himself only telling Erza and Ford about it. Will he be able to beat it before his sleep deprivation his critical mass again? Meanwhile Yukino discovers something about a member of the Oracion Seis? What is it? Find out next time!
