Well this is just a simple one shot. Basically takes place during the time when Natsu is missing after Port Farral. So don't expect him to just show up or anything. But basically, this could be good…or bad. Not sure which. But then I'll go back to the COG since your all…very eager for Levy to join the harem. But hopefully everybody enjoys this!
I don't own Gears of War or Fairy Tail.
RAMPAGE!
Happy woke up from his little hammock with a stretch and yawn, the little exceed fully rested as he floated out of bed. Looking around his bedroom, it was decorated in fish designed wallpaper as his fishing rod sat in a corner. A ceiling fan spun above, circulating the air as his features gained a downcast look. "I really hope Levy and the others can find Natsu…I miss him" he said out loud before leaving his little room. While it wasn't spacious, Happy was well…happy with it. Walking down the hall, he noticed that the entire house was still and quiet. Spotting Bloom laying in a sunbeam that cascaded across the couch in the living room, he walked up to his feline companion.
"Hey Bloom? Where is everybody?"
"Probably out to get me treats or other ways to worship my greatness" she replied in a series of meows and cat-speak.
"I know your kidding. You happen to love Knightwalker and think she's the best"
"True. But I think some had to take an emergency job, while the others are continuing the search for your friend. Now let me sleep in this wonderful sunbeam" she finished before stretching out, her feline laziness apparent as she closed her eyes.
"I guess I'll go have some breakfast…" the cat told himself before walking to his little fridge. Opening it, his eyes widened in horror at the severe lack of fish. "NO! I thought I had one left!" he wailed out, his plight a nightmare for the ages. Grabbing his head, he started to panic before a thought came to him. "Wait…I can just go to the yummy fish universe!" he told himself with a nod of his head, a smile on his face at the genius idea. Flying to the garage, he located the I.V.D. the machine currently off. Tapping his foot, he looked at the poster sitting above the device and the portal gun laying nearby, its familiar blue glow missing.

"Ah! There we go!" Happy told himself before turning on the machine. Humming to life, he started to input the numbers. "One. Nine. Zero. Zero. Two. Zero. One…and F!" he cheered out as the particles shot forth, creating a spinning breech coursing with electricity and power. "Oh…better grab a portal gun so I can get back!" the feline told himself, stuffing the advanced equipment into his little backpack. Little did he know, but that particular invention was down for repairs, the circuitry needed rewiring as it laid on the workbench. Sprouting his wings, he clenched a fish in determination. "Alright Happy! Let's get some yummy fish!" he said with a cheer before flying through the dimensional breech toward the wrongly input universe.
Universe 1900201-F
The beautiful, blonde scientist working at Legion labs studied the room that was about to fill with the experimental gas, shaking her head as she inserted the container into the apparatus along the wall.
"Honestly, what could they possible accomplish with chemical two nineteen? It makes no sense to me at all" she told herself before looking at the rat and lobster sitting at opposite ends of the room. Shaking her head one last time, the very busty female walked over to the control console. Flipping a series of switches, she hovered over the activation button. Pressing down with a delicate finger, the laboratory equipment started to pump in the gas.
The spinning breech that appeared a moment later shocked Mindy Fairchild beyond belief as a blue cat came flying through before hitting the glass barrier with a resounding 'thud' Unfortunately for Happy, he had been so excited for new fish that he had failed to notice the incorrect coordinates. Add that to the fact of his high speed, and he promptly knocked himself out as he started to breathe in the green gas.
'What…in the hell…" Mindy told herself as the portal closed, the light reflecting off her glasses as the lab coat hugged her female form. Looking at the strange blue cat on the floor, she briefly contemplated halting the experiment. "No…If I do that, then my perverted boss will just yell at me…then stare at my tits. I better just not mention this in the log book" she told herself before taking a seat at her desk. Seeing as the latest trial would take hours to complete, she propped her feet up and started reading a smutty romance novel.
Happy woke with a slight groan several hours later as he slowly sat up, taking in his surroundings. He was in a strange room with white walls. A rat and lobster laid nearby, twitching slightly as a strange tingling sensation covered his whole body.
"I can honestly say I've never seen a blue cat before…" A voice said over a loudspeaker. Looking around, he noticed the see through window as a blonde woman stood there.
"Hey! Let me out of here!" Happy shouted as the woman put a finger to her lips in a contemplating tone.
"Ummm….no. See, cats don't talk. And the fact you do means chemical two nineteen had some strange properties. So now…I'll be conducting experiments on you" She replied smugly as the feline grew several inches without his knowledge.
"WHAT! I'm not going to let you cut me open!" He yelled back as his two companions stirred, their bodies slightly bigger. Activating his magic wings, the blue cat hovered above the floor before turning and facing the far wall.
"WING BLAST!" Happy cried out before the magic flew from his furry little body. Shattering the wall, he flew into the open air outside the lab before moving away into the forest.
Mindy was shocked to say the least. Not only was this feline blue, but it could talk…and fly. She was going to have to seriously contemplate her place in the universe, but first she needed to catch the escapee. Not noticing the rat and lobster scurrying out through the hole in the wall, the woman rubbed a hand over her beautiful features at the damage a simple cat caused. "Seriously…I just wanted to take a few blood samples…." She told herself before picking up the phone to call security.
"This is Fairchild…We've had an incident. I need a containment team" she told the man on the other end before hanging up. Looking back at the ruined room, her eyes widened as the other two creatures were gone, having left through the breech.
"Well...shit"
"That lady was crazy" Happy told himself as he flew above the trees before swooping down to a clearing. "I don't like this universe. They don't have my fish anywhere" he said to himself before digging into his little backpack. Pulling out the familiar gun, he input the co-ordinates for home. Pressing the trigger, the exceed waited for the spinning vortex to appear.
"AH! What's wrong with this thing!" he shouted out while shaking it, hoping to make it work. Studying the screen a moment later, he noticed it was completely dark. "Uh oh…" he said in worry as he realized the mistake he made. Placing the device back in his little backpack, he tried to think of what to do. Stomach growling, he smiled sheepishly as the original goal was remembered. Not noticing his increased size, the feline set out on his journey.
"I'll get somebody to fix it after I get some fish. I'm just sooooo…hungry!" he wailed before flying into the air again. After flying for half an hour, he finally spotted a roadway leading north. Swooping down, his eyes almost sparkled at the vehicle before him. It was a large box trailer with the picture of a fish on it, the company emblem catching his eye. Ignoring the police car that was following several car lengths back, the cat landed on the roof with a heavy thud.
"Wow…this truck seems really small" he commented to himself. If his friends could see him now, Happy would almost be the size of Natsu as his growth ran unchecked. The metal under his feet slightly groaning, the large cat extended his claws.
"I know Natsu and Lisanna told me not to break things…but I'm so…HUNGRY!" he cried out before digging his claws into the roof. Peeling back the metal, his eyes grew wide at the pile of frozen fish being transported. "JACKPOT!" he yelled out before diving in, the force of his movements rocking the truck.
"Uh dispatch? I just saw a giant cat tear into a fish trailer" Officer Blake spoke into the radio as he watched the trailer rock back and forth, most likely from the giant animal.
"Very funny Shawn. I know you like to tell jokes, but please don't think I'd actually fall for that" the radio operator said over the airwaves.
"No. I….OH SHIT!" the police officer cried out as the semi tipped over, the metal screeching across the pavement as sparks flew. An oncoming car narrowly swerved out of the way before driving into a ditch, the front bumper digging into the soft soil. Slamming the brakes, the squad car skidded to a stop as the accident unfolded. "I need an ambulance on Hiway forty-one! Northbound on the way to Chicago!" the police officer yelled into the radio before throwing the door open. His shoes hitting the pavement, he made his way over to the cabin of the semi even as the trailer continued to rock and buck under the feeding frenzy inside. Looking in, he could see the driver with a small gash across his forehead, but awake and alert.
"Wh…what happened?" the older male asked with confusion before a resounding tear of metal was heard by the two. Hearing a loud thud, the police man pulled his service pistol as he turned to face a blue furred feline.
"Thanks for the fish!' Happy said with a smile at the short, six foot man before flying into the air, his flight path northward. Looking on dumbfounded as a young girl recorded the whole thing on her cell phone, the city of Chicago would be in for a very stressful day as the large creature flew off into the distance.
"Those were yummy! But I'm still hungry…" Happy told himself as his wings cast a shadow over the landscape, causing many accidents as drivers tried to spot the large creature flying above them. Eyes looking ahead, he saw a large ribbon of concrete snaking through the land toward a city in the distance. The roadway was wide, with hundreds of cars passing every minute as he continued to fly. Happy was now twenty feet tall as he saw a large sign hanging over the freeway. Landing as his feet touched the pavement, the giant cat ignored the screeching tires and shattering glass as several cars and trucks rear-ended each other.
"Hmmm…Chicago…ten miles. Maybe they'll have more fish!" he told himself as several drivers stepped out of their cars, disbelief in their eyes as the traffic came to a complete halt. Moving forward as he ducked under the freeway sign, the exceed didn't notice the news and police helicopters flying behind him.
"Huh? Why is everything so small now? Unless…I'M A SUPERHERO!" he shouted in joy as he extended his arms above his head. Reactivating his wings with a giant smile on his face, he burst into the air as the magic pressure caved in part of the freeway, making further travel north impossible for the time being.
Resuming his journey, the flying cat continued to grow exponentially as the large city grew closer. With a smile on his face as he picked up a fresh trail of fish, Happy headed toward the waterfront with large ships, docks, and cranes scattered about the area.
"Wow…this city sure is big!" He cheered out as people pointed up at him from below, fear etched across their faces at the giant cat. He had been growing at an extreme rate now, his body craving massive amounts of food as he landed in the parking lot of a fishery near the shipping docks.
"RUN!" A halpless worker cried out as Happy approached the building, oblivious to the fear.
"Ahh…stupid wall!" he shouted in annoyance before punching the concrete inward. Crumbling with a groan of twisted steel, the westward facing wall caved into the building as several more people scattered and ran for their lives. But to Happy, all he saw was the piles of fish in storage bins just waiting to be processed. Drooling slightly, the cat marched toward the closest one before scooping up a large pawful. Filling his mouth, the feline smiled at the tasty meal. Sitting down on his backside, the loveable cat continued to eat to his hearts content as a news helicopter circled above.
"This is Sandy Wilcox of Channel Five News. What appears to be a giant, blue cat that flies has now settled down in the 'Lakefront Fishery' While it is responsible for several accidents and the damage on the interstate, this giant creature seems to have no interest in harming people…I'm going in to try and reason with this strange lifeform" she spoke into her microphone as several police cars surrounded the fishery building. Instructing the pilot to get closer, the man sweated nervously as they hovered within twenty feet of the cat.
Happy was spooning whole bundles of fish into his maw as the insane body growth finally slowed down. Chewing happily as the succulent tuna slid down his gullet, he finally noticed the helicopter flying nearby. Turning his head, he saw the brunette woman leaning out of the door, her safety harness keeping her in place.
"HELLO PRETTY LADY!" the cat waved happily before eating another fish, the building almost empty as his belly finally reached contentment.
"HELLO! Do you mind if you can tell us your name?" she shouted back, disbelief crossing her face as the blue exceed stood up, his meal finished. Inching the helicopter back as the giant cat stood to his full height of fifty feet, the police officers below leveled their firearms in precaution.
'I'm Happy Dragneel!" he replied with a smile before a distant rumble and explosion punched through the air. Snapping his head around, the kind-hearted cat could see a billowing cloud of dust in the down-town area of the city. A bellowing roar and the sounds of more destruction echoed through the concrete corridors as his eyes narrowed.
The news feed captured the whole event live as a huge fireball reached into the sky from a distance, the explosion caused by unknown means as a twenty story building caught fire and started to tilt.
"OH NO!" Happy cried out as he activated his wings, ready to take off.
"WAIT HAPPY! What are you planning to do? That area could be dangerous!"
"I don't care! My dad and mom would go and help! So, I will too!" he shouted back before taking to the sky, his massive wingspan shadowing the streets below.
"FOLLOW HIM!" Sandy shouted to the pilot as the story of a century unfolded before her eyes.
Happy flew through the air at a high speed, the wind funnel that followed breaking several windows and even tipping over cars and light trucks as he soared over the neighborhoods. Finally coming to the area of destruction, he landed with a heavy 'thump' as his weight cracked the street. Standing before him as fires raged from a destroyed fuel tanker, he saw the building nearby finally give way as its supports failed. With a resounding tearing of steel and broken glass, the twenty story structure spilled into the street as countless vehicles and people were crushed. Looking in anger at the cause, Happy saw a giant rat and lobster attacking and destroying anything in sight. The ruby red lobster had started to climb a building, its claws digging into the façade as concrete and brick was torn away. Rearing back its giant pincher hand, it punched the building full force as it shattered the offices inside, killing over a dozen people. Climbing up to the next level, the lobster repeated its action as it snarled, causing more destruction as screams filled the air. Panning his head, Happy's anger grew as his attention was turned to the giant rat. The white furred monster had stopped an elevated train car, ripping it off the rails before turning it vertical above its open mouth. Shaking the aluminum vehicle as the rest of the train derailed, Happy could only watch in horror as a helpless man fell into the waiting maw, his screams cut off instantly as his fate was sealed.
"NO!" Happy cried out before charging forward, his fist cocked back. With a heavy blow and the echo of flesh striking flesh, the fist collided with the rat monster as it stumbled backward into a building, the sound of destruction filling the air as Happy caught the train car. Setting it on the street below as the remaining passengers streamed out, he smiled at his action.
"There we go…UMPHH!" he breathed out as the rat threw an abandoned bus at him, the metal screeching and tearing as it hit his body. Shaking his head before a clenched fist crashed into his jaw, Happy was completely staggered as his body crashed into the elevated train line, destroying a section completely as several power lines sparked and popped with electricity. Crashing to the roadway, several cars were pancaked under the weight of his body.
"ROOOOOAAARRR!" The white furred monstrosity bellowed as its yellow teeth were on display to the world. Charging forward to the cat, Happy grabbed the closest thing to him as his head rung. Pulling the lamppost free, he stitched his enemy across the face as a slight gash appeared, leaking a trickle of blood. Letting out a grunt of pain, the rampaging monster staggered back as it crushed a bus underneath its clawed feet. Shaking its head, it let out another bellow of rage as Happy spread his magical wings. "STOP DESTROYING STUFF!" He shouted out before the magical wind attack rushed away from his body. Racing across the burning and wrecked avenue as several buildings displayed destruction and ruin, the massive gust of wind slammed into the giant rat before carrying it into a thirty story office building. Crashing through the brick and steel between the ninth and tenth floors as glass shattered, offices were turned to splintered ruins as several office workers were killed outright. Coming to a stop in the middle of the floor, the sixty foot rat snarled in rage.
"Curtis no like cat…kill cat and destroy!" the simple thoughts raced through its head as it stood up. Crushing the floor below, the now named rat started to climb upwards, smashing through the floors as the building started to groan in protest. Ignoring the screams of terror from the tiny humans, the former laboratory experiment continued to climb as it left ruin and destruction in his wake. Using a clenched fist to punch through the roof as the building shuddered, Curtis climbed out onto the top of the building as chunks of rubble started to rain into the street below. Squinting its beady, red eyes, Curtis spotted the giant lobster halfway up a building, smashing floors with reckless abandon as the taller building groaned with stress under the onslaught. Shaking his head, the rat looked down at the burning and wrecked street below. Spotting the giant cat below, he snarled at his mortal enemy.
"CURTIS DESTROY CAT!" He yelled out as the mutation gave him the ability to talk. Jumping up, he slammed his feet down on the roof of the structure as the building gave a horrible groan, Steel and supports snapping, the former office building started to collapse as Curtis jumped off the falling structure.
"YOU CAN TALK NOW!?" Happy cried in disbelief before the rat collided with hm, punching the two into the subway line as a gaping hole in the street above appeared. Hitting the third rail, Happy was treated to an over abundance of electricity as the power flowed through his body, almost lighting up his skeleton as debris rained down.
"Ow…." Happy said to nobody before a monster sized fist smashed into his jaw, drawing a trickle of blood as his fur wafted smoke. Another two blows had the exceed seeing stars before a blinding light could be seen from his right. Blocking the next fist, the son of Natsu saw a speeding subway train racing down the tracks. The squeal and hissing of brakes meant it was trying to slow, but it wouldn't happen in time.
"HEY! YOUR TRAIN'S HERE!" Happy shouted out before punching Curtis in the face, drawing more blood. Seeing the monster dizzy, the cat rolled him to the right just as the subway train collided with his foe's back. Letting out a howl of pain as the commuter train derailed and crashed into a tangled mess of metal and glass, the rat tried to regain its senses as the cat tried to stand. Head crashing into the ceiling as more concrete rained down, Happy clutched the newest injury.
"OW! OW! OW!" He cried out as he clutched his head…just as Curtis sucker-punched him with an uppercut.
"OOPFHHH!" Happy sounded out as all the air was expelled form his lungs. Flying upwards through the street, the exceed was soon flying through the air before colliding with another building. Smashing through the lower left corner as people tried to flee, the main corner support of the building was a twisted pile of scrap as Happy skidded across the street and into a freeway pillar support. Groaning in pain as he opened his eyes, Happy could only watch in horror as the fifteen story apartment building started to swiftly tilt as the screams of trapped people echoed from open windows. With a horrible shudder, the structure leaned sideways before falling across the street, colliding with another ten story building as thousands of tons of steel and brick rained down.
Happy could only watch in sadness as several hundreds were crushed to death before the billowing dust cloud kicked up and covered the surrounding three streets. Slowly standing up as dust and grime coated his fur, his coloration took on a gray tone as blood trickled from the corner of his lip. Narrowing his eyes at the senseless destruction, he started to walk forward as the giant lobster started to jump and down on the fifty story building in the distance. The collapse of the Three First National Plaza was inevitable as the ruby red monster smashed its claws into the rooftop. Spilling rubble and broken concrete to the roads below as helpless citizens were pancaked into bloody smears, the crustacean gave one last punch as the steel supports broke. With a groan of destruction, the floors started to collapse as the monster leapt from the falling building. Flying in a long arc, it latched onto the side of the Chase Tower before resuming its destruction.
Watching as the building collapsed in the distance, Happy wiped the tears from his dust coated cheeks as anger built in his heart.
"ROOOOAAARRR!" The rat bellowed out as it jumped over the pile of massive rubble. Landing with a thud as the roadway cracked, the cat and mouse glared at each other as the downtown area quickly became a scene from hell.
"You…you monsters keep hurting people…WELL NO MORE!" The cat yelled in fury before grabbing a bent steel beam sticking out of the ground. Hefting it in his right paw, he charged over the broken and cracked avenue. Stepping on a burning car, the hero ignored the slight burns as his opponent charged forward.
"CURTIS KILL ENEMY!" The rat shouted out stupidly as they closed the distance. In moments, the two met as Happy used all his muscle strength to stab forward with the metal object. Punching into the rat's torso with blood and gore bursting out of the back, Happy kept moving forward.
"YAAAAARGGGHHH!" The exceed cried out as he used his muscle strength to heft the enemy off the ground. With a burst of his magical wings, Happy surged above the roadway as Curtis tried to claw and bite despite the obviously mortal wound. Slamming into a seven story building that had somehow escaped damage so far, the cat changed that as the giant mouse was dealt even more damage.
"DIE YOU MONSTER!" Happy cried out as he finally lost momentum. Burying the I-beam into the far wall even as the lower three floors were completely destroyed by their passage, Happy knew this enemy would die. Stepping back outside as the upper floors started to buckle, he glared at Curtis who still struggled weakly to free himself from the impalement.
'CRACK!'
The short building caved in, the weight of debris and destruction making the frame severely weakened as tons of destruction fell on Curtis, killing the abomination as several beams of steel punched through its skull.
Breathing heavily as several news and police helicopters circled above, Happy looked at the other monster terrorizing the city.
"And now to stop him…" he uttered in a dark tone before activating his magical wings. Flying into the air with a burst of speed, he extended his arms before him as his fists clenched tightly. "I have to stop this monster too! Just like Natsu and all the others would!" He vowed to himself as he quickly approached the giant lobster. It was still attacking the Chase Tower, smashing and destroying everything it could as several fires burned out of control throughout the down town area.
"HEY! STUPID FACE!" Happy screamed out as the ruby colored lobster paused its attack. Looking over as it's beady eyes almost seemed to widen, it's miniscule brain recognized danger…but far too late. Colliding with his double fist attack, Happy pushed the enemy off the building as the blow caused its outer shell to slightly crack. Snapping its mandibles at the feline as they sailed through the air, Happy managed to dodge them as they arced downward toward the elevated freeway. Slamming into the northbound lanes as cars and trucks were crushed underneath their mass, the two monsters skidded across the four lanes before colliding with the four southbound. The concrete shuddered and groaned in protest, part of the elevated freeway collapsing under the devastating blow as the two slammed into the roadway below.
Staggering to his feet, Happy dodged the razor-sharp claw of his opponent before punching it in the stomach. With a groan and snarl, it staggered backwards as it collided with a four-story building. Crashing through the front lobby as bricks and plaster rained down upon its head, Ruby the lobster hissed in fury. Bringing up its tail, the behemoth readied its newly grown lethal spikes.
"Uh oh…" Happy sounded out just before the fusillade of hate came flying toward him in the blink of an eye. The sharp pain of one embedding into his left shoulder had him hiss in pain as the rest shot past, destroying more of the freeways supports as large sections of the interstate came tumbling down. The cries and screams of terrified people stung Happy's heart, but he knew what the bigger threat was. Trying to pull the object from his body, the blue cat had to roll out of the way as his crustacean nemesis tried to land a deadly blow. Picking up an empty city cab one handed, Happy threw it at his foe before shooting into the air, trying to buy some time. "I have to get this spike out…" The cat told himself as huge swaths of the city burned or was littered with untold destruction. Eyes scanning from above, the exceed finally found a safe place to land as his nerves screamed with pain. Swooping in, the cat landed in the middle of a large football field in the middle of a stadium. Luckily it was empty of people as he leaned against the stadium seating. Grabbing the offending object, Happy pulled as he grit his teeth in pain.
"Come on Happy…If Natsu can do it so…can…YOU!" He shouted in determination before pulling the spike free. Gasping as blood started to flow, the cat ignored it as his enemy reappeared at the far end of the stadium. Crushing a sign that advertised the 'Chicago Bears' the lobster jumped forth into the stands as it destroyed more property.
"I'm getting really sick of you!" Happy shouted before grabbing the field goal post and ripping it out of the ground. Throwing it with all his strength, he scowled as the lobster rolled to the side. Standing up on its hind legs once more, it sheered off a VIP box from above before throwing the object of glass and concrete. Dodging the object as it smashed into the players tunnel, more destruction reigned as the passage was filled with ruined concrete.
"STOP DESTROYING EVERYTHING!" Happy yelled before grabbing some chairs and throwing them. While they did hit the giant lobster, the objects were too small to cause any lasting damage. Grabbing some more, Happy threw another two dozen before charging across the field with his fist clenched. Feet digging into the green turf, the playing field for the Chicago Bears was being destroyed as Happy's fist connected with the snarling mandibles of Ruby. Falling backwards into the stadium seating as the concrete cracked and buckled, the lobster hissed in pain before the cat was upon him.
"You monsters are mean!" He shot out before striking again…and again…and again. Readying a forth blow, the son of Lisanna and Natsu let out an audible 'OMPFHH!' before flying backwards into the upper levels of the stadium. Groaning in pain from the hard kick to his stomace, Happy shook the cobwebs from his mind before looking back at his enemy. Ruby was climbing over the top of the stadium, his destination unknown as the monster hopped down out of sight.
"Grrr…He's probably going to hurt more people! Well no more!" The dirty and bloodied cat told himself with determination. Extending his wings once more, the feline was airborne as he soon found his target. Ruby was attacking a local school, the giant monster throwing buses as countless people fled in all directions. Watching as one of the yellow pained vehicles crush a half dozen children, Happy's rage grew to new heights. Eye's locking on to the abomination as it started to attack the building itself, the cat felt a strange build up of heat in his irises. Fueling his anger toward Ruby, the next action shocked Happy and everyone else watching the news broadcast as Chicago continued to suffer.
Bursting from his eyes, two intense beams of purple light shot forth as they burned the ground, the targeting slightly off as Ruby looked up at the latest attack.
"COOOL! I HAVE LASER VISION!" Happy cheered out with a smile before refocusing. Hovering above the city like an avenging, blue angel, Ruby started to flee under the cat's gaze. Happy gave a slight giggle in amusement from above as the tables quickly turned in his favor.
"HAPPY LASER EYES!" he shouted out as another twin beams of purple energy shot forth. Slamming into the monsters back, the cat could see several burns appear in its shell as it ran among the streets. Moving under the elevated freeway that was now missing whole sections, the cat waited for a few moments. His prey didn't make him wait long as it ran down a boulevard that hadn't been touched by destruction, the buildings and streets intact.
"HAPPY VISION!" He shouted out again as twin furrows burned through the pavement before slamming into the lobster's legs. With a cry of agony, it stumbled before finally crashing into a Starbucks, crushing most of the patrons inside as glass and debris started to fall.
Hovering above the cityscape, Happy used his new powers to glare at the crippled monster that had caused so many deaths.
"HAPPY! LASER! EYES!" He yelled in finality as his irises turned a momentary purple. Beams bursting forth as they hissed and popped through the air, they slammed right into the creature's face. Burning through the soft flesh, the laser beams reached its brain in seconds as the contents were burned to a horribly high temperature. Seconds later, the lobster stopped moving as Happy came to the ground, his feet touching the concrete lightly. Falling backward in exhaustion against a three story building, Happy smiled despite the grime, dirt, and blood coating his body.
"I…I did it!" he said happily as he breathed deeply, his chest taking in deep lungfuls of air as several helicopters hovered above. Seeing a particular one coming in closer, it soon landed as a familiar news reporter made herself known. Approaching with her camera man, Happy looked at her in exhaustion.
"Happy Dragneel! You just saved the city from two rampaging monsters! How does that make you feel!?" she asked loudly as whole stretches of the city was nothing but rubble, ruined concrete, and twisted steel. Looking around, Happy could see the devastation…the destruction… and roaring fires.
"I'm sad so many people got hurt and killed…I tried my best to protect them all" he sniffled while wiping a few tears away.
"Why did you try to protect the city? Why not join the other giant creatures?" Sandy asked as the crying, giant cat could be seen by millions across the world.
"Because it was the right thing to do. My mom and dad always taught me to try and help people, no matter what. Plus, those others were really mean" he finished before standing up, his fur still streaked with tears.
"Wh…where are you going?'
"I'm going to help put out all the fires and rescue people…just like Natsu and Juvia would" he sniffled before walking to the closest building several blocks away. The structure was leaning badly with many people still trapped on the upper floors. Using his impressive strength, Happy pushed the building back toward a more vertical leaning. Sensing what was happening, several bystanders leant their assistance to the giant cat as he went about his task of rescuing.
Several hours later…
Happy was clearing rubble out of the way for emergency crews, his help invaluable to the men and women on the ground as he continued to help. Even with the constant news reporter watching and recording, he bore the burden. Sitting down after the job was done, he wiped his brow as the high temperatures continued to beat down. Giving a soft smile at the job well done, he regained some of his strength before a familiar crackling of electricity filled the air. Moments later, the familiar forms of Lisanna, Laxus, and Levy appeared.
Letting out a low whistle, Laxus surveyed the wide spread damage as his girlfriend marched forward.
"HAPPY! What have you gotten into this time!" she yelled as the giant cat slightly panicked.
"AHH! MOM! I DIDN'T MEAN TO!" He wailed out as the short woman simply walked up his body, her angry glare causing him to shiver in fear. "I'm in such trouble…"
"DIDN'T MEAN TO! Look at you! Your fifty feet tall in a strange city that has been half destroyed! I've been worried sick! Then Levy tells me you used the IVD without permission and input the wrong co-ordinates! You're in such trouble when we get you back to normal size!"
"But mom! I had to save the city! Bad monsters were attacking it and I had to stop them just like Natsu would!"
"Is that really true?" Levy asked the reporter nearby as she held a strange looking syringe.
"Yes. A giant rat and lobster attacked the city. They killed many innocent people. Happy here managed to defeat them. He tried his very best to stop them. Then he started to help rescuing trapped people"
Letting out a sigh, Lisanna looked at the giant cat that was her adoptive son. "Well…If you did that I guess I can't be too angry…but you're not getting any fish for a whole week!"
"But I'm a hero! I even have laser vision!"
"That doesn't matter! You made myself and the others worry! Levy! Give him the cure!" Lisanna shouted out at her friend.
"You might want to check out Legion labs. They're the ones that started this whole thing. I had to develop a cure in like…three hours. Whole pain in the ass" Levy told the reporter before jamming the needle into Happy's thigh. Letting out a small yelp as the antidote started to flood his bloodstream, it quickly took effect. In a matter of minutes, he was back down to his normal size as Lisanna stood above him.
"Let's go home Happy" she instructed as the feline held up a paw to wait. Eye's locking on a nearby mailbox, he tried to unleash his new power.
"What are you doing little guy?" Laxus asked as the humans watched in confusion.
"I'm trying to use my laser eyes! I have to show you how cool they are!" he said with a smile. But after a few minutes of nothing happening, his grin faded. "I guess they only work when I'm big…" he said with sadness.
Picking up the bloodied and soot covered cat, Lisanna cradled him in her arms as his fatigue caused him to pass out almost immediately.
"Come on. Let's get the hell out of here and get him cleaned up" Levy said to her friends before leaning toward Laxus. "Plus, I don't want the bill for this huge fucking mess" she whispered before activating the portal gun. Walking through, the reporter and her viewers were stunned into silence as the savior of the city disappeared with a flash of light.
One year later…
The city of Chicago was recovering from that devastating monster battle the previous summer. All the rubble had been cleared and the victim's bodies collected. All told, over thirty thousand people died from the nightmare visited on the city. From the collapsing buildings, the crushed vehicles, the fires and destruction, they all had their hand in extinguishing life.
Legion labs was found fully responsible, the company sued for every penny they were worth as its upper management was sentenced to harsh prison terms. Mindy Fairchild had fled the country, her location unknown as she became a high value target for the United States government.
Sandy Wilcox won a Pulitzer for her coverage of the disaster, her career set for life. She was now the head anchor at her station, but still enjoyed the field every now and then. She was actually out now, covering the dedication to the newest addition to Grant Park near the shore.
"This is Sandy Wilcox standing before you at the dedication to the 'Happy Dragneel' Statue. Standing at ten feet tall, it is dedicated to the brave cat that fought monsters and saved our city from destruction. Already, thousands are flocking to see this newest dedication" She smiled brightly to the camera. Looking behind her, she could see the statue of the cat standing in a super hero pose. His smile was captured perfectly as several families took pictures with the new statue.
"Whoever your father is Happy Dragneel, I'm sure he's an amazing man to raise such a kind hearted soul such as yourself" Sandy thought as several new buildings were under construction among the Chicago skyline…
And that's that! I know it's shorter, but I think a Happy cat adventure was needed! Sure it went crazy and all that, but it's fun! And if you ever played the old rampage games, you probably recognize Curtis the rat and Ruby the lobster from the…second one I think? Anyway, hope you had fun reading it…especially his laser eyes! And no…he doesn't get them back. It was just part of the giant mutation thing so…yeah. No Happy laser eyes in the future! But PM! REVIEW!
Happy: WOW! I Sure fought hard against those monsters!
Lisanna: You sure did Happy! You were very brave!
Happy: Can I have a fish?
Lisanna: ….*angry glare*
this is theHappy signing off!
