Alright this is a mission for Crimson Gear! When you read this, you'll probably understand why I did this one after the Unknown Legions two chapters that were…pretty fucking brutal. But, think of this as a team mission for Sam, Knightwalker, Wendy, Bisca, and Levy. But if you have any ideas for jobs in 137-C or other realities for these five ladies, send a PM. I don't own Gears of War or Fairy Tail.

Rescue Operation


Universe 666-A

Wendy was in unbelievable, horrible pain. It was practically mind numbing at this point as she tried to drag herself through the mud. Her right eye was streaming tears at the nightmarish situation she was in. Happy was dead, probably being eaten by that vile man right now, but she needed to try and get away. The ruin of her right kneecap…or lack of it prevented her from getting up, and even if she could, her right hand was gone. It was nothing but a smashed, ragged stump now after the man in the mask had bludgeoned it with a hammer. Tears continuing to stream down the right side of her face, Wendy coughed up blood. She couldn't even yell for help after her tormentor ripped out her tongue, his laugh burning into her mind. Her chest was screaming fire, the mud digging into the raw and flayed flesh where her breasts would've been.

The barking and baying of the wolf-like dogs behind her made her shudder in terror. She knew they were sniffing her…getting aroused by the smell of blood leaking from her ruined vagina. Wendy knew it would only be a matter of time before one tried to mate with her. The thought made her want to vomit, but she was in such excruciating pain she couldn't. Trying to drag herself forward once more, she found darkness starting to cloud her vision.

"Natsu…Erza…please…anybody…." She silently prayed as a soft glow of blue emanated from behind her blood covered body. The last thing her senses picked up were voices of women and the flash of scarlet hair before the pain caused her to finally pass out.

Erza Knightwalker looked down at the brutalized and tortured girl with inconceivable horror and rage. Whoever was responsible for this would be begging for death when her and Sam where done. Looking at Bisca and Levy behind her as the portal continued to spin, the two women rushed forward.

"Get her back to her base to Wendy! Start cleaning and healing those wounds immediately!" the huntress commanded as the duo nodded. Picking up the younger woman, Bisca and Levy cringed at the brutal wounds this innocent girl sustained.

"Make sure the guilty pay for this" Bisca uttered darkly as she walked though the portal with Levy, the breech snapping shut a few seconds later.

"Got that fucking right" Sam answered in fury before pulling her boltok free. She could read the situation. Whoever was doing this had planned on these dogs raping Wendy…and that was unforgivable in the Sergeant's book. Aiming at the first or four of the snapping and snarling creatures, she shot it dead without an ounce of pity.

"No mercy, Erza. No fucking mercy" Sam replied as her compatriot used her favorite laser rifle to gun down the remaining three, the smell of burning flesh and hair reaching their ears and noses.

"Now what the hell is going on out there?" Skinner said to himself as he finished off the last bits of meat from the blue exceed. The white one was still in her cage, glaring death at vile murderer. He didn't care however as the back door burst inward, showering his room with splinters. Standing there were two women. While one was heavily armored and carried a nasty looking rifle, the other was the familiar form of Erza.

Eyes widening at the renewed hope before her, Carla gripped the cage before shouting.

"ERZA! HE ATE HAPPY AND TORTURED WENDY! KILL HIM!"

"Oh, you got that fucking right" Sam uttered before leveling her gun. Pulling the trigger, the report thundered through the room before passing through the serial killer's torso.

"HAHAHA! Looks like your weapons are useless against me! I'm one with the shadow…and now I can play with you too! Are you ready to have fun with Warren Skinner!?" he laughed hysterically as he grabbed his flaying knife.

"Shit! He's like Juvia! Knightwalker!" Sam ordered, the red head knowing the correct course of action. Stepping forward as the man charged, she spread her hands as purple electricity started to jump between her fingertips. Building the power she needed in the blink of an eye, she targeted the man.

"Purple Cascade!" she shouted out as the electricity slammed into the sadistic killer. Screaming at the pain coursing through his body, the vile man's shadow magic was completely overpowered as it short circuited. Moving forward, the red-head kicked the knife away as Sam quickly shot him in the kneecaps. Blood and bone were smashed and shattered before the brunette dragged him onto the blood-stained table. Snapping the magical restraints in place, the man would be no threat.

"AAUGGHHHHAHAHAHAHA!' His screamed in pain before starting to laugh, his psychotic mind not caring in the least. Lashing him to the table as Knightwalker walked over to the cage with Carla, Sam glared untold horror at the man as the huntress released the cat.

"WENDY! WE HAVE TO HELP WENDY!" the exceed screamed out, not caring that the former enemy from Edolas was standing before her.

"Levy and Bisca have her…they'll do the best they can. Now you need to tell us what happened here"

"He…he skinned Happy alive then cooked the remains! He stuck a knife up Wendy's vagina! He flayed the skin from her chest and pulled out her tongue! He used a hammer to destroy her hand and kneecap! This monster used a drill on her right eye!" the cat cried out as tears flowed down her face.

"Hahaha! Did you enjoy my work? She is a great subject…I can't wait to break her further…" the insane man chuckled out as Sam lowered her voice.

'Knightwalker…take Carla to the others…I'll handle things here…" Sam finished in a dead tone as she pointed the portal gun at some open space. Summoning the breech, Erza looked down at the cat.

"Come on. Despite my past, I try to do good things now. Wendy is like a younger sister to me, so we will get her the best help we can"

"I don't care if she's knightwalker. They're here to help. I hope they make this monster suffer" Nodding her head, Carla just wanted to be by her friend's side as she followed the former soldier into the spinning vortex of blues and purples.

"Now that we're alone…I'm going to make you pay for what you did to Wendy" Sam uttered darkly as the man chuckled despite the ruin of his kneecaps.

"Do your worst. I look forward to the experience"

Snarling at his words, the Gear hefted her lancer before revving up the blade.

"Ohh! A chainsaw!" he practically cheered out before the brunette started to cut through his right ankle. Blood spraying against her armor, she didn't hear the screams of a man, but a monster. Watching as the appendage fell to the floor, she ignored the insane laughter before walking around the table. Repeating the action, Sam grimaced at the spray of blood that flew in a low arc.

"Hehehehehe!" he laughed as the female snarled. Torturing for the sake of torture made her sick, but she would endure this task for Wendy, knowing an easy death for this vile man was too easy. Spotting his table of tools near the flays and scraps of blue fur, her conviction grew as she recognized the remains of Happy.

"This monster…Oh…I Will make him suffer!" she thought before grabbing a hammer and two nails. Walking back toward his footless body, she looked down at him in disgust.

"Oh? Now what are you planning on doing with those?" he asked calmly despite the horrendous pain he was in.

"You took Wendy's eye…so I'm taking both of yours" she uttered before lining up a nail above the right orb. Hammering it down in one swift move, she made sure not to go to deep as the viscous fluid started to ooze out onto his mask.

"AAAUGGHHHHH! MORE!" he cried in agony as Sam repeated the process, his screams echoing through the house. Looking down at the blood continuing to pump from his severed feet, she knew that he would bleed out if she didn't stop it. Activating her magic, she formed an orb of her phoenix fire and cauterized the wounds with the heat. Eyeing his hand, she decided to double the favor before re-lifting the hammer. Bringing it down with as much force as she could muster, Sam heard a sickening crack as the bone and cartilage cracked. Ignoring the sickening sound, Sam brought the hammer down again and again. 'This is for Wendy! This monster needs to pay!" the Gear thought in fury as she continued to strike. Her targets screams were ignored as the ruined and bloody stump greeted her vision. Throwing the hammer across the room, she looked down at the sickening man.

"This is making me sick…" she said in revulsion before spotting a rusty saw on the table. Grabbing the tool, she went back to her ward. Lining it up with his left elbow, she started to cut her way through his flesh. The teeth bit through and shredded the skin before the force started severing tendons and muscle.

"AAAUGHHHH!" the monster screamed as blood started to flow one more, the saw finally hitting bone as Sam continued to cut. It took her five grisly and bloody minutes to saw through the arm before it came free. Grabbing the limb, she set it on his chest before going to the other arm. Steeling her nerve and stomach, Sam knew she would drink…and drink some more tonight with her team to try and forget what she did here. The screams of his pain were almost haunting, but this freak in a mask deserved it as she sawed back and forth, the bone slowly being eaten away as blood splashed against the table. Minutes later it was done as she set the bloody appendage on his chest.

Sam wanted to vomit…she had endured untold horrors and hardships through war and conflict, but this made her so sick with herself as the man cried in pain.

"AAAAHHHHHH! WHAT NEXT?" he cried out as Sam started to search the room. Finding a container of kerosene, she knew the perfect way to end this monster of a man.

"Now you get to burn all the way to the darkest depths of hell" She simply told him before starting to splash the liquid onto his brutalized body. Screaming as the fuel burned his open wounds, he finally found his breath as the pain started to take hold.

"I…I won't fucking beg. That little bitch deserved it"

"I didn't expect a creature like you to beg anyway" she finished before striking a match. Tossing it on his body, the flames started to consume his flesh and blood as the monster screamed. Watching the fire dance as it reflected in her eyes, Sam turned and left the room as the man screamed and screamed, his horror and pain fitting for his crimes. The crackling of burning flesh and the smell of roasted pork were the last things to assault Sam's senses as she left the nightmare behind her.

Walking outside, she moved away from the small house. Her boots crunched on the dirt and gravel path for a good hour before finding an old stump to sit on. Easing herself down, Sam took a shaky breath as she grabbed the small flask of whiskey from a side pouch. Unscrewing the cap, she drank the burning liquid as it tore down her throat. Staring into the distance, she had no idea how long she sat there as the sun bore down on her as she continued to take short pulls of liquor.

"HAPPY! WENDY! CARLA! WHERE ARE YOU GUYS!?" a familiar voice shouted from down the road. Snapping her head up, Sam could see the approaching forms of Natsu, Lucy, Grey, and Erza.

"He must've tracked them with that nose of his…fuck…this is gonna be awful for them…" she thought as the standard team Natsu came close. Hurrying his footsteps, the dragon slayer quickly approached.

"Hey lady? Have you seen my friends? They were supposed to come back last night, but they never showed up?" Natsu asked as his tone got quieter, finally noticing the blood on her armor. His eyes widened at the smell of…death and suffering around her. When she didn't say anything for a few moments, Erza tried her hand at questioning.

"Excuse me? But he asked you a question" she said sternly with a gaze of power to make most people wilt.

"Yeah…I heard you the first time" Sam replied while looking at her hands. "Should I have just killed him? I just tortured a man…its different from war…"

"Well? Have you seen them or not?" Lucy asked in worry, taking in the bloody armor and horrible looking weapon resting between her legs.

"Yeah…I'll take you to them" she replied before standing up. Pulling the portal gun free, she input the co-ordinates of their base before the vortex sprang forth.

"What the hell is that!?" Grey shouted as he got into a defensive stance, along with the rest of his team. Looking over her shoulder, the four could finally see the sheer…heartbreak in the strange woman's eyes.

"It's the path to your friends…" Sam finished softly before walking through. Deciding to follow her, team Natsu would soon find themselves in a nightmarish reunion.

Universe 137-C One minute after rescuing Wendy.

"Get her on the table!" Marvell shouted as her two friends set the badly wounded girl on the operating table. They were in 'Crimson Gears' private base. The location about twenty minutes south of Natsu's house in the forest. The five had all pitched in to construct the tiny, fort like structure, but that wasn't important right now as Wendy quickly assessed what needed to be done. Access to dozens of realities medical knowledge and technology had made her a healer of note, practically forcing Porlyusica into retirement as she continued to study the horrible wounds.

"Bisca! Start a drain tube and get it into her mouth! Levy! Start cleaning out the open wounds and get anti-bodies into her bloodstream!" she instructed with a shout as the three women burst into action. Grabbing one of a dozen of strange devices from a nearby shelf, Wendy quickly input instructions into the tiny electronic interface as it glowed a healthy green. The words 'tongue regrowth' could be seen on the tiny interface as she ran back to her doubles side.

"Fuck…what kind of monster could've done this to her?" Bisca asked with tears and horror filling her eyes. She was holding the drain tube, trying not to shake as a constant flow was suctioned out.

"I don't know. But Sam and Erza K will handle it" Wendy replied as she pushed the plunger into the blunettes neck. "Hold that tube there till the nano's stop the bleeding" she instructed before looking at Levy. She was doing her best to clean out the dirt and grime from the exposed chest of the girl, but it was slow going.

"Use the disinfectant water!" she instructed her friend as Levy nodded.

"Got it" she replied before grabbing a low-pressure water spray. Aiming it at the exposed muscle and flesh, Levy started to wash more effectively as the dirt and grime was carried away. Running back to her shelf of medical supplies, she grabbed a dermal regenerator, the device picked up in a different reality. It was about six inches long with a single button on its metallic side. The nozzle would emit a blue light when pressed, the only purpose to regrow skin. Hurrying her steps, Wendy set the technology down on the table near Levy. "Start at the edge of the wound and work your way across…I'm going to start down…there" Wendy indicated.

"I know how it works! Just hurry up!" Levy shouted out as Bisca continued to hold the draining tube. Luckily the little machines were finally slowing the bleeding as the green haired gun mage looked at this poor girl in pity and horror.

Ignoring the woman's tone, Wendy moved to the ruined folds of skin and flesh between her doubles legs. Holding out her hands, the sky maiden activated her magic as they glowed an almost holy white. Pouring as much as she could toward the ruined passage, she could almost feel the shredded skin healing and stitching itself together.

The shimmering blue of a portal meant new visitors as Erza and Carla moved through, the cat horrified and confused as she watched a slightly older Wendy…heal Wendy.

"IS SHE GOING TO BE ALRIGHT!" the white exceed cried out in panic as she flew toward this other girl.

"Erza! I need to concentrate!" Marvell shouted out before looking at Carla with a sudden hint of sadness. "Please…let me work" she uttered softly before going back to healing the torn and bleeding flesh of the girl's womanhood.

Nodding in understanding, she followed Knightwalker into the main room of the base. Several doors led off in different directions as the red-head looked down at her. "Stay here and let them work. They have medical technology from half a dozen realities in there…so just wait. I have to make a call" she finished before walking through a doorway. Moving up to the IVD in the main room, the huntress activated the main control switch. It was a recent addition by Levy for multiverse emergencies. Frankly put, it allowed her to send a video feed to every universe with a working IVD. The humming of power let the warrior know it was working as she started to speak.

"This is Erza Knightwalker of universe one three seven C. I'm initiating a kill order on Warren Skinner of the six six six strand of the multiverse. I'm calling on every reality to send a team there and kill or capture this sadistic serial killer. He's located about ten miles north of Mulba City on country road S in an old farmhouse. He's a shadow user and is vulnerable to lightning so I recommend bringing your versions of Laxus to deal with him" she finished before pausing, her eyes hardening. "This bastard ate Happy and tortured Wendy…I don't know if she will live or not. He…was planning to have her raped by his dogs. So, I need this fucker in the ground or chains within the hour! I don't care about your morals with this! This sick fuck needs to pay!" Erza shouted out before closing her eyes, taking a deep breath. "But your in luck, The one we found is about twenty four hours ahead of all the others…so if you can, keep Wendy safe in the guild and go get this sick fuck before it's too late" the red headed woman finished before cutting the connection. Clenching her fist, she knew that by days end, every version of this man in the string would be dead or imprisoned.

Moving back toward the other room, she saw Carla comforting her double, trying to give reassuring words as the other three women tried to heal the torture victim.

"The bleeding stopped!" Bisca shouted out as Wendy continued to knit and repair the damaged flesh of the girl's genitals. Levy was slowing easing the regenerator across the torso, the two inch wide beam regenerating skin cells at an alarming rate. Levy was already past the right breast, the scanner knowing when to regrow the nipple as she continued her task.

Some blood had splashed onto the sniper's shirt from pulling the tube free, but at least the bleeding had ceased.

"Get the malleable bone!" Wendy instructed with a shout as she started to sweat, forcing more magic into the repairs. "That sick bastard actually shoved a knife up there! Ohh…I would've chopped his cock off if I had the chance…"

Rushing to the table as Knightwalker and the two Carla's watched, the visiting cat looked into her double's eyes with pain and grief etched across her feline features.

"What's… the malleable bone?" she sniffed out. Pausing for a few moments, Carla tried to form an example with her words.

"The best comparison is liquid bone that can take on the shape and purpose of whatever is missing. It can repair and reattach nerves and muscles, but can't regrow skin"

"Oh…" she replied softly as tears flowed down her furry face. Bursting forward, she wrapped her little paws around her twin as she sobbed and cried into Carla's neck, the stress and brutality of the day taking its toll.

Grabbing the proper vial of what she needed, Bisca moved past Wendy toward the girl's right leg. The substance was in liquid form but would immediately set to work as the tiny machines would start to grow and replace what was missing from the limb. Opening the top, Bisca poured the required amount into the torn and ruined joint. The fact that the muscle and skin of her leg hadn't torn more was a miracle as the tiny machines started to do their task.

Taking a deep breath as the final flap of skin was repaired, Wendy looked over to her two friends. Bisca had specks and splotches of blood on her shirt, while Levy had finally finished the healing the skin of the chest. Looking down at the pale skin of the girl, Levy looked at Wendy.

"We need to hook up a blood transfusion. She lost a decent amount"

"Yeah. Get me hooked up" the fourteen year old agreed before pulling a stool next to the operating table. Sitting down, she didn't flinch as Levy poked the needle into her arm. Moving the tube, she connected the other end into the poor girls left arm as a flow of red fluid started moving between them.

"We'll need the 'gauntlet' for her hand…or just cut of the remains and get a replacement like Cana" Bisca suggested as the two older women looked at the bloody and ruined stump.

"The gauntlet will work. The wounds still fresh" Levy said before moving toward the table once more. Now that the most life threatening injuries were dealt with, they could start on the others. Grabbing what was essentially a gauntlet meant for hands, the short woman with large breasts and a facial scar simple attached it to the ruined stump. Locking it in place, she knew the technology would start re-growing a new hand for the girl immediately. glanced over to the right kneecap. The malleable bone was almost complete, the nerves and sinew reattaching as Bisca grabbed the dermal regenerator once more.

"God…I know we've dealt with some horrible wounds before but fuck…" the greenette whispered as she started to weave the technology over the kneecap.

"I know what you mean" the teenager agreed. Looking down at the poor girl, Wendy could almost feel the pain and anguish she had gone through as color started to be regained to her pale cheeks. Giving her ten more minutes of blood, the young medical practitioner then halted the transfer. Setting the hose in a bin for sterilization later, Wendy grabbed a bag of saline. Hefting it onto a low hanging hook above the bed, the girl hooked it up to the double as the liquid of nutrients and anti-bodies started to flow into her. Grabbing a strand of gauze, the blunette wrapped it around the younger girl's head as she covered the gaping hole were her left eye used to be. It took a few minutes, but the surgery was finally done. Looking at the clock, she couldn't believe two hours had passed.

Wiping her hand across her brow, she snapped her head up as another breech formed in the infirmary. Walking forth was a blood spattered Sam and team Natsu, the four mages having a confused and worried look on their faces.

Levy could see the instant of horrible realization cross their faces as they saw the bloody and nude form of Wendy laying on the table. Ignoring the fact that there was another Erza, two Carla's, and a second Wendy, the four rushed forward toward the girl.

"What the hell happened!" Natsu yelled out as he reached for the girl, intent on shaking her awake. He was in a state of shock. Her right hand was covered in some weird machine, her head was wrapped in gauze, and she was completely naked.

"Don't touch her! She needs to heal!" Marvell shouted out as Erza's eyes grew wide. Bringing forth a sword, she pointed it at the brunette woman as her mind tried to process what happened to her young friend.

"DID YOU DO THIS! I"LL…" she started to rant before Carla shot into the air, blocking the impending fight.

"STOP ERZA! They saved her…they saved her" she cried out while Levy grabbed a blanket and covered the patient on the table.

"You five need to follow me" Marvell instructed, iron in her voice as the group of stunned mages nodded. Following her into the next room, she indicated two couches for them to sit at. Grabbing a seat for herself, the young woman waited patiently.

"Is..is Wendy going to be okay?" Carla asked in a hoarse whisper.

Letting out a deep sigh, Marvell looked at each in turn before speaking, her eyes betraying untold horrors.

"She'll live. But that gauntlet for her right hand needs to stay there for about a month. That's how long it will take to regrow her hand. Same with her tongue. She won't be able to talk or eat solid foods. She'll be able to have nutrient shakes and water, but that's it. The new kneecap will let her walk and run normally again, but I recommend a wheelchair for the next week or two, just to be sure. I'll set about growing her a new eye, but that will take time as well. The skin that had been flayed from her chest is looking good, but she needs to stay on anti-biotics until we're sure there's no infection. I was also able to fully heal all the torn flesh and damaged skin in her vagina, so she will have full use of that" she stopped as the four friends started to cry.

"W..what happened to her?" Lucy whispered out as Carla started to speak.

"We were captured by a vile…horrible, disgusting man. He tortured Wendy…he put a drill in her eye…peeled her skin off…used hammers…he even shoved a knife up…there…but that was after he killed and ate Happy" she let out before crying again.

"What!? Ha..Happy's dead?" whispered Natsu as tears flowed down his cheeks. "Happy! My little buddy and best friend…who I raised with Mira! All the adventures and jobs we did together…and now he..he..he.."

Natsu's eyes flared with rage and pain, anger and sorrow as he looked at the girl before him.

"WHERE IS HE! I'LL KILL HIM!" the dragon slayer roared, his body dripping with power and fire. Erza and Lucy, even Grey shuddered under his anger. Sure, they've seen Natsu mad before…but never like this. His body was almost engulfed in flames as Sam waked into the room.

"I killed him Natsu. I made him suffer for what he did to your friends" she stated coldly before walking to a shelf grabbing a bottle of alcohol. Walking back, she pressed it into the man's hands.

"Here…pass it around" she finished before walking out of the room. Trying to regain control of his anger, the furious man could feel it as Erza placed a comforting hand on his shoulder, her sorrow and anger a mix.

"I'll make sure he gets a proper burial Natsu…we all will…" she said in a placating tone as his anger snapped away in an instant. Tears streaking down his face, the man buried his face in his hands as he cried for his best friend and the horror Wendy endured at the hands of that monster.

"I…is there anything we can do to help?' Grey asked, tears forming at the corners of his eyes.

"Your friend Wendy…she went through a horrible, nightmarish experience. You all need to be there for her…to support her. A part of her probably died with that man, so you need to be understanding. Make sure one of you is with her at all times. She will be scared…probably will suffer from nightmares because of this. You and your guild need to support her no matter what" Marvell finished before standing up. "I need to start growing a new eye for her. You can go in the other room and see her, but don't wake her up" the fourteen year old instructed before leaving toward another part of the building they were in.

"Of course we'll help her…" Lucy whispered before standing up. "I'm going to go be with her…so when she wakes up she can see a friendly face" the blonde instructed as she walked out.

"Come on Natsu…lets go be with our friend" Grey tried to encourage, knowing how much Natsu loved his feline friend.

"Give…give me a few minutes Grey…" the pinkette finished before taking a swig from the bottle. Seeing his friend and Carla leave, the dragon slayer turned to Erza as tears erupted from his eyes once more.

"Erza…I…I…" he stuttered before the red head promptly grabbed him and pulled him close.

"Shhh…We'll get through this. Just cry as much as you need to okay?" she said to the man who had comforted her on many occasions. Feeling his tears soak into her blouse, the female started to cry too as they held each other in mourning for their fallen friend.

One day later…

Wendy slowly opened her right eye as light shone down on her. Her left was dark as she tried to see out of it, but no luck. Focusing her vision, the blurs around her finally cleared. Seeing her friends…Carla, she tried to sit up and talk, but was pushed back.

"Don't try to talk right now Wendy, you're still healing" Erza assured her with a small smile, the older woman glad to see her friend awake. Looking down at her body, she could see the strange thing on her right wrist as the horrors and nightmare came flashing back. Her one good eye starting to brim with tears, she almost choked on the emotion.

"H…gll…" she tried to ask as her team hugged her, the emotions flowing through the room.

"We know Wendy…we know what happened. We were so close to getting there… I promise nobody will ever hurt you again" Natsu whispered in her ear as she was wrapped in love.

"Don't crowd the poor girl. She must be starving" Marvell pointed out before handing the patient a thermos with a blue liquid in it. "Here…it tastes like blueberry cheesecake" she mentioned before helping the girl fish the straw into her mouth. Gulping greedily, her body was craving nutrients as she drank the shake in seconds. Grabbing another, Marvell replaced the drink as Levy walked up with a tablet.

Eye's studying the scar of the woman, Wendy tried to process what was going on as Levy started to speak.

"I'll make it simple for you. You're in a parallel universe. My team rescued you from that…beast and brought you here. I'm also happy to report that we managed to kill all variations of that bastard in that particular string. Now, this right here will let you speak until your able to in a month's time" she told the girl before setting the data pad on her lap.

"Input a word or sentence and it will say it out loud. Sorry that voice is robotic, but it's the best I can do"

Raising her left hand, she typed out two words before hitting the green button on the right side.

"Thank you" the robotic voice chimed out before she typed again. "I was so scared. I thought I was going to die. I thought I saw Erza"

"You actually did Wendy. This universe brought Erza Knightwalker back from Edolas" Lucy pointed out behind her. Looking past her blonde friend, Wendy could see another three women standing at the far end of the room. She easily recognized Bisca as the older female smiled. The brunette gave a small wave while Knightwalker stood there stoically with a small tug of her lips.

"They're pretty amazing actually. While you were sleeping, these five told us how they formed a team and go to other realities to stop bad guys. They save lots of people" Grey finished as Natsu tried to smile at the blunette on the bed.

"And the other Wendy says your new eye should be ready in two weeks. That's pretty neat, right?"

Nodding her head as she continued to cry, her small smile was warming up the room before she typed more words.

"Can I live with you and Erza? I want to be safe"

Blushing slightly as Natsu stuttered, Erza coughed as she tried not to look at Natsu. While she would admit to feelings toward the man, she knew that such things would be inappropriate if she started to live with him. This is what she wanted to tell the young girl, but when she looked back and studied her, she knew that any attempts to say no would be futile. How could she, Erza Scarlet, refuse to help and give comfort to her friend who went through such a horrific and nightmarish ordeal. Clenching her fist as new tears started to threaten her features, the knight nodded.

"Of course, Wendy. I'd be happy to live with you two" she agreed before leaning down the girl's ear. Talking in a low whisper, she gave the young one a bit of gossip. "You should ask Mira too. She was Happy's mother and she still thinks of Natsu as her husband" the conspirator smirked while Wendy gave a small smile. Typing in more words on her keypad, the robot tones filled the air.

"I know Mira likes Natsu, we need to help her too." She paused before turning to Lucy and Grey. "Can you help?"

"Of course we will! You're our friend and team mate! Anything you need!" the ice mage agreed as Lucy nodded.

"That's right Wendy. We'll help you every step of the way" the blonde replied as her heart stings pulled at her emotions. "How…how could somebody do this to Wendy? To Happy?"

Nodding her head as she rested her head back against the cot, she momentarily closed her eyes.

"Are you alright Wendy?" Natsu asked while setting a comforting hand on her shoulder.

"Tired. Can I sleep now?" the data pad spoke for her as her team nodded.

"Rest as mush as you need. We'll be right here with you" Carla replied before finding a spot to sleep. Wedging herself between the left arm and her side, the exceed could feel her best friend instinctively pull her closer in comfort.

Watching the closeness of the two, Natsu sniffled before looking at Wendy's saviors. "You mind if I go outside for a bit? Happy…"

"Its fine Natsu" Levy told him as the mourning man walked away, wanting to clear his head. They had quickly gotten used to the strange Levy, but figured it didn't matter too much as the short woman pointed to an additional door set into the far right wall. "If you need anything to eat, the kitchen is in there" she told them before heading to the main room. Walking down a short hallway to the left, she passed the small armory before walking into her secondary lab at the far end on the right. Walking up to a small vat filled with liquid, Levy could see a new eye quickly growing as little machines assembled and grew what was needed. Checking the status, she nodded her head in approval. Thinking for a moment as she stood alone in the lab, the genius simply shrugged.

"Fuck it. All it will do is make her super awesome when we can put this in her head" the blunette concluded before typing more commands into the console. With a gurgle of bubbles, the computer set about the additional task. Seeing no additional problems, she sat down as the door opened. Standing there was Bisca, a haunted look on her face.

"How are you doing Levy?"

Letting out a deep sigh as her friend sat at another stool, she looked at the gunslinger.

"I'll be alright. Just…this sick bastard. I know we aren't saints, but this was just monstrous. But we should thank Knightwalker, her call saved all the Wendy's in that string. Only three had been captured when the call went out, and they were rescued before he could…start"

Nodding her head solemnly, the greenette could only agree in silence as time continued to tick by.

Two weeks later. Universe 666-A

Natsu was kneeling in front of Happy's grave, tears trickling down his face. When they had returned with Wendy and Carla about what happened, the guild had been thrown into a rage…then mourning and disbelief. Laxus and Gajeel were particularly affected, the horror their follow slayer went through practically enraging them. It was only the news that the vile man was dead that steadied them, but still…the guild was still in a state of shock and horror. Many cried at the nightmare their young friend endured, but vowed to help her any way they could.

Himself and Erza had kept their promise to Wendy, the knight moving in into his small cabin. To be honest, he was glad he wouldn't be out there alone as his friend immediately set about expanding and modernizing his small home. Mira had helped of course, her anger and grief fueling the woman. The first night had been awkward for him, having three girls sleeping in his bed. But it prevented Wendy from having nightmares, so he would support it.

"Happy…you would be proud of Wendy. She's staying so strong…" he paused while a choked sob broke out. "I miss you little buddy. I was supposed to look out for you…and I failed…." He said softly before hearing soft footsteps approaching. Looking up, he could see a downcast Mira as she approached, her marroon dress swaying in the slight breeze.

"Hi Natsu…I figured I would find you here…"

"Yeah…just visiting my friend" the pinkette said sadly as the white haired woman set a comforting hand on his shoulder.

"I know Natsu…I know" she whispered before remembering why she came here. "Wendy should be back soon from her eye surgery. It would mean a lot to her if you were there"

"Alright" he responded before staying till a few more minutes. Giving him the time he needed, Mira could easily relate to the pain he was going through.

"You know…that Sam woman? She told me what she did to that man…how she tortured him for what he did to Wendy and Happy. And all I can think is how glad I was that he suffered…am I a bad person for thinking that?"

Bending down, she quickly wrapped him in a hug, her voice low and feminine. "No Natsu…I was relieved to know he died horribly. He was more monster than man, and you don't feel bad for monsters. So, don't think you're the only one. I even overheard master saying he would've killed that man himself for harming Wendy. I'm just glad those five managed to save her and Carla…"

"Me too. Let's…lets go see Wendy now…" the pinkette stood up with Mira before heading toward the hall. Soon they were pushing their way through the doors. While in the past he would kick the doors open…that was something he did with Happy. Natsu didn't feel like doing that anymore. Looking around, he could see the subdued and solemn looks of the guild. Spotting his team, he walked over before sitting next to Erza while Mira flanked him.

"Is Wendy back yet?" Mira asked Lucy who shook her head.

"Not yet, Knightwalker called and said she should be in the next half hour though"

"Indeed. It makes me happy to see her making friends…even though they go and kill people…" Erza admitted, not quite sure how she felt about that.

"Well, from what I understand, they fight really bad things in other realities. They have seen some pretty crazy things…and truly awful people. To be honest, I'm glad they're out there…trying to save the innocent" Grey admitted as the minutes ticked by. Looking over to Juvia behind the bar, the water mage was making a smoothie for Wendy upon her return, mixing a flavor of lime and blueberry.

"They've done so much…did you hear…" Lucy started before the familiar vortex appeared. Walking through was Wendy, the young girl finally walking again as she held the tablet in her one good hand. The other was re-growing under that strange gauntlet, but still needed a few weeks. Next to her was Carla and Marvell, the fourteen year old smiling as the portal closed.

"WENDY! You look great! Shouted out Cana as they studied the girl minus the eye patch. Giving a small smile as her friends cheered and started to crowd her, she typed words on her datapad.

"Thanks Cana. It's still a little sore, but the vision is perfect"

"That's not the only thing about it" Marvell mentioned before pointing toward a lone bottle on the bar. "Concentrate on that bottle with your new eye" she lightly instructed.

"Alright"

Staring intently, Wendy could soon feel a slight build up of heat from the new orb. Not realizing her iris was glowing red, the guild was surprised and shocked when a beam of laser light burst forth and shattered the bottle with ease…before burning the wall behind it.

"You…YOU GAVE HER LASER VISION!" Laxus roared out in disbelief. Don't misunderstand, he was damn happy to see the young slayer wakling about and recovering. Her therapy sessions seemed to be working too, but still….he had a deep foreboding of dread about a Wendy with the ability to shoot a laser beam from her eye.

"THAT'S RIGHT! It was McGarden's idea. Now she as an ace up her sleeve…just in case" the healer smirked before giving a thumb's up.

"That was totally badass. Just be careful, it can be lethal if you put enough force behind it"

Smiling at her words, Wendy soon was typing as Carla stood by, smiling at her recovering friend.

"Does it use magic?"

"Nope! It's powered by the same fuel your body uses. So as long as you keep eating and drinking, your new eye will be able to shoot lasers. But like any other muscle, it needs to be trained. So, the more you practice, the stronger it gets!" Marvell cheered out with a smile.

"Wow Wendy! That was so cool! Hey Hap… oh…right…" he caught himself as he remembered the fallen friend. Seeing the mood quickly falling, Marvell rested a hand on her double's shoulder, giving a reassuring squeeze as the somber mood started to race through the hall.

"So Wendy? How's living with Natsu, Mira, and Erza?" she asked, trying to steer the conversation away.

"It's nice. They made Natsu clean up his whole house. I feel safe with them there"

"That's good. And the therapy sessions?"

"I still have bad nightmares. But that other Lucy with the others is understanding. They listen" the robotic voice relayed as the visitor nodded. Looking over, she could see Juvia waving with the nutrient drink, a pained look on the older woman's face.

"Wendy. It looks like Juvia made you a nice lunch. Why don't we both go over and talk with her?" the white exceed suggested as the young girl nodded.

"Okay"

Seeing them walk away to the bar, Marvell breathed a deep sigh before sitting near near Lucy.

"Hey Marvell? What other Lucy was she talking about? All we know is you take her and Carla to a therapy session every three days after you do your checkup on her" the blonde asked with a confused tone.

"it's a group set up by a parallel Lucy for members of Fairy Tail that have been brutalized by horrible people. They all have endured many…awful things and they support each other. It's been very helpful for those two"

"Is it an all girl's group?" Mira asked as Wendy let out a small laugh from a joke Juvia told her.

"Mostly. But not all of them. There's a Natsu there that had been tortured by an evil, parallel Natsu…some of them have awful stories…" Marvell finished before looking at them each in turn. "I want you to know, the support your giving her means the world to her. I used to be exactly like her, so I can take a good guess how she feels. And to see her family coming together in support…it hits right here" the fourteen year old girl finished as she patted a hand over her heart.

"So where are your friends? They were hanging around for most of the first week, then just up and vanished?" Erza asked as Natsu stayed quiet.

"They are on a special mission" she replied before smiling softly.

"Really? What kind?" Natsu asked, trying to keep his mind off of his deceased partner.

"It's a secret" she finished before the doors to the guild swung open. Standing there was the rest of Crimson Gear as shafts of light poured through the doorway.

"Well the secret mission is done. Now I need all of you to stay calm. He hasn't been around people for a while" McGarden instructed as Elfman spoke up.

'What do you mean? Who's here?"

"Well if you stay quiet and in your seat, you'll see" Sam instructed in a no-nonsense tone before turning to the doorway. "C'mon little guy. You get to see your family again"

Wondering who she was talking too, the guild was floored when Happy walked into the hall, his nervousness apparent.

'Happy? HAPPY!" Natsu cheered before running forward and scooping up the blue cat. Tears bursting from his cheeks, the dragon slayer was all smiles as he spun the cat in the air. "YOUR BACK! I CAN'T BELIEVE IT! YOU'RE HERE! YOUR REALLY HERE!"

"NATSU! I MISSED YOU SO MUCH!" the blue cat cried as his little paws wrapped around his neck. The guild was bursting forward, eager to greet the cat in joy and happiness as they started to gather close.

"Happy!" the robotic keypad seemed to shout as the blue cat flew toward the sky maiden.

"AH WENDY! YOU'RE HERE TOO!" he continued to cry as the young girl's cheeks streamed fresh tears.

Looking at the group, Mira's eyes were brimming at the wonderous scene before her. "H..how?"

"Infinite realities remember? All we had to do was find one where Happy was alive but didn't have a guild" Bisca replied to Mira.

"But what about that other Fairy Tail? Wont they miss him?" Evergreen asked from nearby, her eyes misting as well.

Rubbing the back of her head, Knightwalker tried to let them down easily. "Yeah…from what we can gather, this Happy was exposed to a magic that prolonged his life…by centuries. Frankly put, he outlived all his friends and family. He watched his Natsu grow old and die with his wife Mira….then their children…and their children. Eventually, he just stopped staying near people cause' they kept getting older"

"That's so sad…." Lisanna commented as the busty Levy spoke up with a smile. "Don't worry! I figured out how to reverse it! This little guy will be along for the ride with all of you…" she trailed off before looking at Natsu. "I know he's not 'your' Happy, but you lost yours…and he lost his family. I figured you can meet somewhere in the middle and…move on from there"

"I understand. But just to see him again…" he whispered before snapping his head up "Mira! A nice big fish for Happy! This is the best day ever!" he cheered out in joy as Wendy walked toward Sam, one of the women that saved her.

"Thank you. Thank you so much" the synthesized voice relayed before hugging the older woman.

Coughing slightly, the grizzled military woman tried to smile as her eyes slightly watered. Wiping her hand across her face, she slightly sniffled. "Damn…so much dust in here" she tried to explain, covering up her emotions as Makarov walked forth among his children that continued to celebrate.

"You…you helped Wendy in her darkest hour…healed her wounds and even found a way to bring little Happy back. We are in your debt. How can Fairy Tail repay you for what you've done?"

Looking at each other, the five women shrugged before Marvell stepped forward. She had a portal gun in her hands as she presented it to the master.

"Just make sure to keep helping her…to stay by her side" she told the short man who took the strange technology. Turning to her younger double who was now clutching Happy close to her chest as Carla and Pantherlily smiled, she grinned at her double.

'You're a strong woman Wendy. You have a tough road ahead of you, but your family will help. And if you ever want to hang out…or just talk, dial me up and stop on by. And if your wondering, the gauntlet will come off by itself once your hand is rebuilt. Now enjoy your life with your friends and family" she finished as McGarden activated a portal with her own gun.

"I will! And thank you so much!" the electronic voice echoed through the hall as the five started to walk through. With one final wave, Marvell left the joyous guild as the breech snapped shut moments later.

"Natsu?" Happy asked as he sat on the girl's lap with tears in his eyes.

"Yeah little buddy?' he choked back in happiness.

"Can we go fishing?"

"Yes…Absolutely YES! We can even bring Erza and Mira! Or the whole guild! But we can go right now!" he cheered as Wendy watched the exchange. Looking at her healing hand wrapped in technology, she looked at the spot her new friends had disappeared to as more tears streamed down her cheeks. Not in sadness or pain, but of joy.

"Thank you…thank you for saving me…" she thought as the guild threw the biggest party in recent history to celebrate the reunion of friends.

Yeah…so basically I wrote this in three days. As soon as I read that serial killer universe, I could instantly see what my mages would do to save her. Then some people actually requested it. Now if your mad about Sam torturing that bastard, he deserves it for hurting Wendy. And you know I've blown up whole cities in my main story so killing some psycho isn't that big of a stretch. But I hope the ending is nice for everybody! And FYI, she makes a full recovery from her wounds, but kinda sticks to the side of Erza or Natsu if she's out and about. But review or PM me for what you think!
