Okay! Here's the next bit from the multiverse! Now if your all caught of with Dragon of the Cog, you know that Bisca, Natsu and Happy basically made a blind jump after the lightning strike. So while not a normal adventure for them, it still is in another universe. Think of it as 39.5. But then some of you might think I'm an idiot for doing it that way haha. But while they're here, I can make chapter 40 concentrate on some other members fighting the locust in other cities.

Also, if your wondering who will be traveling to other realities, I think I might do a few with 200-AB while my main characters fight the monsters. Also, with Fallout 76, I WILL try to keep writing during the weekdays before/after work, but I do want to enjoy that game. If you have an Xbox one, come find me. I'll give you one guess on my screen name haha.

But anyway, read, review, and enjoy!

I still don't own any media or anything…


Meeting the Observer

Fairy Tail guild hall. Year 791 June 12th 2:43 p.m.

"I don't think I really needed to hear about all those women doing 'that' with that flame brained idiot…" Grey grumbled as Juvia slumped in slight depression.

"Why? Why would other Juvia betray her love of Grey!" The rainwoman wailed slightly as Natsu continued to blush along with several of the women in the guild. They had just watched a parallel version of Erza and Mira basically shunted to last place as that other Gajeel proclaimed which women the fire mage had slept with.

"Well…at least nobody died or anything bad…" Wendy said softly, her cheeks showing embarrassment from the more grown up conversation that had taken place. Sitting with Carla at her table, the guild mates were talking among themselves as the celestial being watched in curiosity.

"I will never understand these mortals. Haven't they already witnessed similar timelines? This is nothing new now" it thought before clearing its throat.

"If you're all ready mortals, I will connect to a new universe"

"I just hope it's not one where I die from those awful mercenaries…" Erza grumbled, already sick of those two men. She fervently hoped they would never be seen again.

"Me too. I hope the next one is a happy universe" Lucy added in as she sat next to Natsu, the man finally losing his brush. "Although…I wonder what it would be like to have that kind of relationship with Natsu…" She idly thought, unaware that several other women in the hall had similar thoughts over the view of multiple realities.

"I wonder how that one Cana is doing? I really liked her jacket" The bar lush asked idly before taking a large pull from her barrel of alcohol, remember the parallel visitor a few universes ago.

"I'm curious why she would even travel if her universe is at war? Isn't that really irresponsible?" Laki asked the brunette from her table before taking a sip of water.

"Well, didn't she say those locust creatures have been quiet? Maybe there just isn't anything to fight at the moment for her?" Laxus butted in as several mages nodded in slight annoyance. That was the one issue many of them had, they never got the complete picture of a universe, just a small slice before moving on. It was getting a little annoying, especially to the lightning mage as the conversations started to die down.

Seeing the talking reaching low levels, the celestial creature started to gather his magic.

'Pop…POP POP POP'

The center of the hall crackled with strands of electricity as a growing vortex sprung into existence, a swirl of purple's and blues that sparked and hissed with power.

"IT'S AN ARTIFICAL BREECH! BUT WHY HERE!?" Observer thought in disbelief as a torrent of rain seemed to fly horizontally before splashing to the floor.

'BE ON GUARD MY CHILDREN! WHO KNOWS WHAT THIS COULD BE!" Makarov shouted as Natsu sprang up, shielding Lucy, Erza, and Mira from danger. Lighting his hands on fire, the fire mage noted that Grey was doing the same as his fists glowed with ice.

Natsu's protectiveness didn't go un-noticed by the three, but they weren't about to stand there and let their friend face the threat alone. Standing at his side, the three females were ready to fight along with everybody in the guild as they waited.

"Stay behind me Bisca and keep Asuka close" Alzack told his wife as he grabbed the magical gun from his holster. Pushing the two behind him, he stood tall, ready to defend what he loved.

The portal flashed once, lighting up the room as the members looked on in worry. They had seen some awful things in the multiverse thanks to Observer, and they were all praying it would be nothing as water continued to splash and run along the floor from the vortex. The bodies came flying out, a flash of pink, green and blue as they shot across the room from excessive speed.

Crashing into a support pillar with an echoing 'crack' as the wood bent and shattered, the trio spread out nearby as they tumbled to the floor. Looking on in wide eyed disbelief, the whole guild recognized the forms of Happy, Bisca, and Natsu as the three groaned from the hard landing.

"Ughh…that fucking sucked…" Natsu groaned out as he tried to climb to his feet. His body ached…several of his ribs were cracked or broken, and the bullet wound that created a furrow of flesh through his left underarm throbbed and bled. But that was a secondary worry as he snapped his eyes to Bisca. She was resting against an overturned table, the woman resting a hand to her forehead as her right thigh continued to bleed. The shrapnel was really hurting now, the woman pushing herself even with the injury. Hurrying over, the scarred man knelt in front of her as he ran his hands along her neck, assessing for any further injuries.

Looking into his eyes, Bisca barely registered the shocked stares of a whole guild looking at them. The only thing she cared about was him as a few tears trickled down her cheeks.

"Natsu…I…I thought…I was going to die…I was…" she shuddered out, her fists shaking from the rush of adrenaline her body was going through. "I was falling…and he caught me. Is this…is this how Mira or Cana felt? Or Erza? This rush of adrenaline and this…desire to mount him here and now?" She asked herself as her lips trembled.

"It's okay, Bisca…" The man rasped out, setting a gloved hand on her shoulder. Even now, Natsu still wore the blue, fingerless gloves Juvia had made him for Christmas as the green haired sniper tried to get a handle of herself.

Springing forth, Bisca kissed Natsu, not caring who watched as she locked lips with the man she loved. Feeling the fear and stress of the near death experience slowly ebb away, she was simply content to kiss the man as her thigh wound continued to bleed down toward the hardwood floor.

"WWWHHHATTT!" The guild shouted out, their eyes almost comical as they watched another Natsu and Bisca kiss. The most shocked however was Bisca, essentially watching herself lock lips with a man not her husband. Speaking of Alzack…he looked ready to kill this other Natsu as the strange duo finally broke apart.

Rising to their feet, Dragneel supported his sniper as the two slowly looked around the room at the stunned mages. "Hmmm…looks like post GMG if Asuka is here. Oh…and the calendar says '791' The star looking being…didn't Knightwalker mention meeting one this summer?"

"HEY! What's the big idea kissing my wife other Natsu!?" Alzack yelled hotly, getting close to the armored man with the facial scar.

Glaring at the arrogance of this version of her dead friend, Mulan was not in the mood for petty bullshit at the moment as Happy slowly picked himself off the floor nearby.

"Fuck you, Alzack. I can kiss my boyfriend whenever and wherever I want. We have had a long, shitty day and the last thing I want to hear is you complaining about your little bitch feelings" The woman finished with venom and anger as the man reeled back.

"Wha…" he stated, his eyes laced with surprise. Bisca never talked to him in that kind of tone as this other Natsu slowly walked toward an empty table with this other version of his wife. The vortex had disappeared as the man set the female down on the table top, his eyes trailing to the wound on her thigh.

"I'm sure you all have a million questions, but right now my lady is hurt and that takes priority over your questions" the solider stated, ignoring the flabbergasted father of Asuka as he still stood in shock.

Turning to Wendy, the scarred man tried to soften his gaze toward the sky maiden. "Wendy, can you help me with this? I have to dig out the shrapnel and your magic can heal up the wounds" he asked as he started to dig though a first aid kit on his belt.

"Oh…um sure…" the blue haired girl asked as she approached the table, nervousness in her eyes.

Watching as the man pulled out a small scalpel, forceps and a bottle of spray, Grey couldn't help himself as the pinkette started to cut away the fabric along the woman's leg.

"Hey…uh…flamebrain? Are you sure you know what your doing? Shouldn't you get a doctor for that?"

"I agree with Grey, you'll probably do more harm than good. After all, you're not the most…studious person in the world" Erza butted in, finally getting over her shock as she tried to be diplomatic.

"For your information you two, I happen to be trained in battlefield medicine…wait…Bisca, this is gonna sting" he told his girlfriend as he started to pull the first piece of shrapnel from her flesh. Tossing it into a bowl that Happy had retrieved, Natsu sprayed the first cut with disinfectant before nodding to Wendy. "Close it up and I'll move onto the next one" He instructed as the girl activated her healing magic.

Hissing at the pain running up and down her leg, Mulan tried to think of something else before looking at Erza who still had a strange look on her face. "I don't get it? Shouldn't he be messing up by now? Or get super angry at seeing his…girlfriend hurt?" The knight thought to herself as she watched the trio.

"Hey Mira….did you notice his voice?" Lisanna asked her sibling behind the bar, the older of the two nodding in agreement as they watched the man work.

"I did…it sounds…darker…more mature I want to say" The busty beauty replied as Natsu watched himself in curiosity. Even the simple minded dragon slayer could tell…now was not the time to bombard the man with questions.

"How is….other Bisca so calm? I'd be scared to death if Natsu was performing any kind of surgery on me" Gajeel voiced out, surprised the celestial being hadn't said a single word as it watched in silence.

Hearing the mutterings of the members, Mulan decided to start explaining a few things as Natsu dug another shard of metal from her leg even as she hissed. "Just so you all know, my Natsu here is a damn genius. Mechanical Engineering, Weapons Development, Computers and power systems…he even dabbles in Fusion energy and Physics. Patching up my leg for this minor stuff is completely in his skill set" She admitted with pride as the nearby Natsu perked up at this.

"You mean…I'M SMART! Like really, really smart!?" The excitable adult asked with a big grin on his face.

"No, you're not you idiot! The other Bisca said that Natsu is smart! You still get outsmarted by rocks!" Grey shot back as the fire mage glared at his rival.

"HEY! That only happened once! And I showed that rock who's boss!" The fire mage yelled as he and Grey butted heads.

"That just proves you're still an idiot! I'm surprised you don't fall over from brain damage!" the ice mage yelled, the two ready to trade blows. Stepping up, Erza was about to punish them for their idiocy, but she never got the chance.

"Knock it off! I don't need you two idiots starting shit and bumping into me when I'm holding a knife!" Dragneel said in a loud, but stern tone as his eyes settled on the two.

The members of the guild…reeled from the sheer…authority in this other man's voice as the two bickering mages immediately sat down at a table and set their hands in their laps, behaving like the best of friends. Turning back to his task, Natsu pulled another chunk of metal out, tossing it into the dish with half a dozen other pieces as Wendy continued to heal the torn flesh with her magic.

"How are you doing, Mulan?" Dragneel asked softly, looking into her eyes that showed a bit of pain.

"I'll live. It hurts, but I trust you" she smiled at him as her wet hair started to dry. Nodding his head slowly, he concentrated on the delicate task as Levy slowly walked forward, fascination in her eyes.

"Um…other Natsu? I don't mean to interrupt…but why are you here with…um…your girlfriend?" the script mage asked nervously. Truth be told, she felt a little intimidated by the man with armor, guns, and a horrible facial scar.

"Call me Dragneel. This is Mulan for now, and that can be Happy two or second Happy…whatever works" He replied as he spread some of his ladies skin to seize another elusive shard of metal. "As for why we're here, it was not our intent. Some awful monsters attacked Crocus and during the battle, Bisca fell off a twenty story building. I dove after her and activated a portal to universe two hundred AB. Unfortunately, a lighting strike hit the vortex and scrambled the co-ordinates. Then I got shot and dropped the portal gun while falling with her…might have some broken ribs too. Happy tried to lift us up, but he ran out of magic" He grumbled out as many in the guild looked at him. The way he talked about diving off a building…it seemed almost normal by his tone. Then, they were finally starting to take in details of his state. Blood was dripping onto the floor from his left arm, the chest plate was cracked near his left abdomen and numerous gouges, scratches and other abrasions dotted the armor.

"Were…those monsters the locust?" Bicslow asked, receiving a hard glare from the man.

"Now how do you know about them?" He asked coldly, his eyes going back toward Bisca as he pulled the last chunk from her flesh. Stepping away as Wendy used the spray and her own magic, the last wound closed up thanks to the efforts of the young woman.

"We saw you fighting them thanks to Observer! You were with Erza and then one of them transformed into a demon! Then a huge laser destroyed the city after that demon guy ran away!" Natsu exclaimed, his excitement at meeting the strong version of himself bubbling to the surface.

Turning to the celestial, Dragneel cocked an eyebrow at the strange creature. "Let me guess…you show them different versions of Earthland, randomly jumping around as these mages watch as different universes unfold?"

"Indeed. But I must ask you this mortal, why do you travel to other realities?"

"Yeah, that's been bugging us ever since we saw that other Cana show up to make a harem in that one universe" Cana mentioned, her alcohol completely forgotten as the strange trio looked around the room.

"Huh…that sounds like how the I.V.D. used to work way back when…" Shaking her head, the sniper eased herself onto the nearby bench before glaring at her man. "Sit down and get that armor off. You took some bad hits and Wendy can help"

"I'll be fine" Dragneel said stoically. Jumping to her feet even as her thigh still twinged, Mulan jabbed a finger into the man's chest plate as anger flashed in her eyes.

"Don't give me that stoic, lone soldier crap! You're hurt and you need medical attention! As one of your girlfriends, I'm ordering you to sit down and let Wendy heal your wounds!" She shouted, the female furious at Natsu for trying to act tough at a time like this.

Looking down at Mulan, Dragneel searched her eyes. Seeing worry, sadness, and a hint of fear along with staggering anger, the man sighed.

"Fine…you win" he relented before sitting on the wooden bench as Wendy looked at the armor.

"Um…do you think you can remove your armor? I can't heal you with it on…" she asked kindly as the man gave a grunting nod. Activating his re-equip magic, the armor disappeared in a flash of light along with his undershirt as his bare torso was on display for all to see. A gasp filled the hall as many of the girls finally saw what lay underneath. The fact that he knew the same magic as Erza was surprising to them all, but what lay underneath…

"Holy shit…" Elfman whispered as the guild got a view of this parallel visitor. Scars littered his body. From a large slash across his chest from his right shoulder to his left hip to multiple places covered in old scar tissue. There were even some on his back as dozens of smaller ones covered his hard muscle. Frankly put, he looked like an ancient god of war.

Looking at the man with larger muscles and abs like steel, Evergreen and Levy tried to hide the pink dusting their cheeks as Wendy gulped.

"Makes sense why this other Bisca would date him…" Evergreen thought as she turned away, trying to crush the occasional dirty thought that entered her mind. She was not interested in Natsu like that, but still…

"Um…"

"Don't worry about the scars, they're old. Just do what you can and I'll be fine" Dragneel told the young maiden as she gathered magic in her hands.

"Dude…" Bicslow said as the solider looked at him. "How did you get all those?"

"Fighting the locust. But Cana and that Observer guy did ask questions first…but Cana?"

"Hmmm?" the lush sounded out, trying to look away at the from the old wounds this man had sustained. Yes, she had to admit that the scars looked…sexy on him. But she did have an eye on a certain dragon slayer and she would not swoon after some parallel even if he fought monsters.

"When did you see this other universe? And could you describe the events?"

"Oh! It was a few hours ago and there was an adult Wendy arguing with Mira, Erza, Lisanna, Levy, Juvia, and Lucy over that other Natsu. Then another me showed up wearing a sweet jacket along with Happy"

"Aye! I remember going to that universe! I shared a yummy fish with that other Happy! But…"

"Oh…please don't tell us something bad happened!" Mira cried out, hoping that those other girls were safe and sound with their own Natsu…despite the weirdness of a harem.

"No. It's just that those event's happened over three weeks ago. Cana told me all about it when she got back along with my little buddy here"

"What? But how? We just watched the whole thing" Gajeel asked, slightly jealous this other Natsu has super awesome scars. "Bet if I looked like that I'd have a bunch of ladies too"

"Well. Since I know it was my Cana, I can only think of one thing. Your universe is weird with time. Not only that, but the universe you saw with the locust? I know for a fact the Hammer of Dawn hasn't been deployed in over a year. Or the issue of one of those bastards turning into a fucking demon. I've never seen anything like that during my battles with them" he grunted out, the man's words like rough gravel to the guild as their attention was on the trio.

"So…we saw some other version of you fighting?" Lucy asked as Wendy finished healing the scarred mans ribs. Frankly…she didn't like seeing her friend having that many scars…it meant he had been hurt a lot, and that made her upset.

"Most likely…" Dragneel told the blonde before looking at Observer. 'You asked why my guild travels the multiverse? Why we do that despite the threat of the locust?"

"Yes mortal. I can't fathom why you would risk your lives or even care about other realities. Whatever happens in other universes should not be the concern of mortals"

"Shit…Levy would fucking hate this guy…" Mulan thought as her boyfriend stood up after Wendy healed all his wounds with her wonderful magic. Re-equipping a black tank top, his scars were finally hidden under the fabric as he walked across the room to the bar. Stopping as he glanced at Mira, he tried to give her a small smile even as the scar pulled at his attempt.

"Mira. Do you mind if I order some food? Fighting those monsters works up quite the appetite" He asked as he slid more than enough money across the counter.

"Oh…of course" she asked, hoping this scarred man would like her cooking. Placing two orders for some grilled chicken and drinks, the man walked back to his table, the heavy boots echoing. Sitting down, his eyes tracked over the guild as they watched him in curiosity.

"So…what do you know of the locust?"

"Well…they're monsters? And hurt people? Oh, and your Cana said your universe is at war with them?" Juvia mentioned as she looked at the three with many of her friends nodding.

"Yeah man, if your so smart, why are you jumping around the multiverse? Shouldn't you just concentrate on them?" Laxus asked, the lightning mage folding his arms.

"Heh…you guys obviously don't know shit about them then" Dragneel replied as Erza spoke up, her chocolate eyes studying the male at the nearby table.

"Can't you just attack their country in your universe? You have those portal guns, right? That would seem to be the easiest solution to the problem"

"The locust don't come from any Earthland" Mulan stated simply as she crossed her arms over her armor, the scratches and gouges showing heavy use.

"What? How's that possible? There's only Earthlands in the multiverse from what we've seen" the red head asked as Dragneel shook his head.

"No…there are other versions of humanity out there. Earths out there with infinite possibilities…and a set of realities called Sera. The locust horde come from Sera. It is a world that developed without reliance on magic. Where humanity developed on entirely different paths than the average Earthland. The Seran's have been fighting those monsters for over sixteen years now. So, there goes your first theory on invading their country" he stated as Lisanna raised her hand. Mira was already breading the chicken for the two, even getting a fish for the other Happy as she listened from the kitchen.

"Yeah?"

"Couldn't you just use those portal guns we saw your Cana use then? Just go and attack them?" she asked innocently.

"Its still not that simple. The locust are a subterranean race. They live completely underground in the hollow of the planets crust. So yeah, I could travel to some random, bombed out town and maybe fight a few. But if they don't want to come up, they won't. Add to the fact that they can…home in on gate travel, and you'll find yourself surrounded in no time before they kill you and leave your corpse for the crows…I lost some good friends that way…" He added in a softer tone, his eyes betraying some harsh memories. "And before any of you ask, using the dimensional technology to travel underground doesn't work either. There is a class of those monsters called a Seeder. Not only can they produce Nemacyst for striking down Ravens and other aircraft, but they can jam any communications…along with dimensional gates. So now you have an enemy from another universe that can burrow underground….that can come up whenever they want and can block any attempts on humanity's part except for direct assault. Oh yeah…and they developed the dimension travel before us" Dragneel told the guild as this shocked many in the guild with looks of disbelief.

"Are you saying those monsters can…travel to other universes!" Levy practically shouted out, her face trembling as Mulan nodded.

"They can. We destroyed their first two gates, but they must've rebuilt. But don't worry, they only want to destroy our world because we've killed so many of them. They won't be coming here" She finished as her nose crinkled. "Ugh…I smell like a sewer. Is there a shower in this place?" The sniper asked the room full of mages as Lucy nodded. "Uh yeah…one in the spare guest room in back" She asked quietly as the Observer listened patiently. It's not like he was in a rush. Let these mortals do what they must. "So those monsters breeched the walls of the universe themselves…I suppose anything is possible…"

Watching as Mulan left the room, the guild master studied this war-weary man now sitting at his table with Happy. "This other Natsu…he doesn't deserve such a life…full of death and the loss of friends…"

"If they come from a different universe, how did yours end up fighting them?" the old man asked moments later. Seeing the scarred soldier give a heavy sigh, the elder could almost…feel the horrors this version of Natsu had seen.

"Do you just want me to explain from the beginning? That seems like it would be best than just random questions"

"Ah, yeah…other me" Natsu replied as he held his own Happy in his lap. "Maybe he'll show me some super cool moves! I bet we would make a super fighting team! OH! Maybe I can get some cool scars too!" his mind wandered before returning his simple attention to the man. To be honest, Natsu liked having another him around! Maybe they could prank the ice stripper later!

Clenching his fist covered in blue material, the soldier started to speak as the members started to listen in baited silence. They had to know this story would be horrible, but this was a chance to learn about a whole new universe. This could be a once in a lifetime opportunity.

"Over six years ago, I was just like your Natsu. A happy go lucky idiot fourteen years old. The only problems I had was fighting Grey…finding Igneel and just having fun adventures with my friends and family. I would be scared of Erza if her cheesecake got destroyed…it was all….normal stuff. But then one day, an emergency S-class request came through. A monster was attacking a small village and Erza and Mira were the only ones available to take it. But since those two were quite the rivals back then, Makarov thought it best I tag along to help keep the peace. He concluded it would help teach me some responsibility and to keep those two from beating each other" The man paused once more as the old memories came roaring back. But the mages could see his eyes…they would not dare to interrupt a man like this.

"When we got to the site, this monster had slaughtered a group of Rune Knights. One was still alive as he begged for mercy….this monster ripped him in half. I still remember the…sound of his entrails hitting the ground as it saw us. We had never seen a monster like that in our lives…and we could just…feel it's evil. It stood eight feet tall with snarling teeth and yellow eyes. I remember how sickly its gray skin looked. And then…it was standing near this spinning circle in the air…I had no idea what it was back then. Erza and Mira immediately charged into the fray…but their attacks were completely ineffective. Mira's demonic energy and Erza's swords couldn't pierce its hide. I soon joined in and breathed fire on it. Turns out that was its weakness, but by the time we figured it out…Erza had a broken leg…Mira had several broken ribs and a broken shoulder. I…was the only one still standing. I saw what had happened to the knights…so I made Happy carry Erza and Mira from the battlefield" He stopped, clenching his fist in frustration as his knuckles turned a little white.

"I managed to mortally wound it during my fight using my fire and one or Erza's swords, but it landed one final blow before it died. I flew through the portal and landed in a strange city where men were fighting more of them. That's how I met Baird and Cole…Gears for the COG, or Coalition of Ordered Governments" Dragneel stopped once more before looking at his double, his eyes devoid of joy.

"I wouldn't return to Earthland for five years. That day I was taken from my home and thrown into a world of war and genocide…of carnage and hate. I saw the horrible power of the Hammer of Dawn being deployed that day as those two soldiers took me with them….hundred's of thousands died"

"You…you were stuck there among those monsters for five years?" Cana whispered, not being able to fathom losing the dragon slayer in such a way as the visiting Happy spoke up, his ears flattened in sadness.

"Aye…and when we got back to the guild, they were really sad. Makarov asked other guilds to send out search parties for Natsu…but nobody could find him. Eventually…most of the guild gave up…we even had a funeral for him…But I didn't go with Erza and Mira that day. We all knew he was still alive somewhere…" The little cat sniffled before trying to dry his wet fur. "Only Gildarts, Levy, and Cana supported our search over the years… Laxus was really mean to them and said it was their fault…even Lisanna told Mira to stop searching, but we didn't give up!" The little cat exclaimed as Mira came over with the two three plates for the trio as Bisca finally arrived from the shower. Out of her armor, she wore simple clothes as she sat down and started eating, her ravenous hunger finally catching up.

"Is that how…?" Mira slightly blushed before continuing near the man. "How you ended up dating myself, Erza, and Cana?"

Cocking an eyebrow at the white haired female, she waved her hands in an awkward manner as she took a step back. "We saw that other you kiss myself and Erza, I just assumed…"

"No, your right. Even before that day, those two had a little crush on me. And when I was gone, they had quite the few arguments on who would get me when I was found. But eventually, they just decided since they were friend's they would just both date me. Of course, Cana kept her feelings secret at the time. But, we're getting off track"

Taking a bite of his chicken, the man's eyes lit up with softness as he turned back to the busty woman. "Your cooking is just as great as my own Mira, some of the best in multiverse" He told her, giving a small smile as he went back to eating contently.

"Jeeze man…five years with those things? No wonder he has so many scars" Gajeel mentioned as the trio continued to eat. Glancing at Levy, the shorter woman was looking at the three, especially Dragneel. "Something wrong?"

"No…its just he's a super smart Natsu that has traveled to other realities…I would just love to pick his brain about everything he's seen!" She exclaimed loudly as the entity watched the script mage. Letting out a sigh, he knew the chances of keeping the knowledge from these mages secret was quickly diminishing.

After about ten minutes, the three were done eating as Dragneel took the dirty dishes to the bar. Smiling at the man, Mira gave off her angelic demeanor, glad to see the man give a small smile to her. "It's good to see him smile…even if it's a little one"

"Alright, so where was I? Oh yeah, I had just been stranded on Sera…" the scarred man commented as he started to talk. And talk he did. About the Gears and the COG…growing up in a military environment. How he learned mechanics and science from Baird…the lessons Cole gave him in wooing the ladies for when he was older…he told them everything. His first mission in Jilane…the assault at Estana Point…how Erza came to become a Gear like him…the bloodbath at Montevado where the knight almost died. Dozens of battles…bloody, horrible sieges against those horrible creatures as the time ticked by. Some of the woman had tears in their eyes as Dragneel explained 'Hammer Day' how the surviving elements of the COG had to bombard their own world and scorched ninety percent of the surface in nightmarish hell storms of fire and ash.

"I remember a few days before Operation Hollowstorm was going to begin. I was in my workshop with Erza, just working on some things in there. But there were no missions, so I figured I could take a nap. I mean…it was getting late anyway. So, I go and lay down, and not even a minute later, Erza kicks the door open" Dragneel smirked, eyeing the redhead.

"What happened?" Bickslow asked, liking where this was going.

"Oh, she said…"I WILL NOT WAIT ANY LONGER! Then she basically tackled me and damn…Erza is one beautiful woman. So, she started to…"

Pulling a blade from her re-equip space, the knight was blushing as she realized were this was going. "I will not let you reveal my…or her intimate moments in the guild!" She blushed heavily, pointing the sword at the scarred man. She was radiating female fury, causing many in the guild to take a cautionary step back.

"Even if he fights monsters and is dating her, I will not permit him to say lewd things!"

Standing up, the man walked over to the woman, his boots echoing as Elfman butted in.

"Hey! Be careful! She looks mad!"

Ignoring the large man, Dragneel stood before the red head as he gave a slow smirk. "You know…you look adorable when you blush like that? I mean, mine still does that even now. Besides…do you really think I'd be afraid of a woman's anger after fighting the locust?" he asked before pushing the blade away with his hand. Leaning down, he whispered in her ear. "Just so you know, I have a pretty good idea who you like…and you probably have dirty thoughts about him at night…" the soldier finished as he stepped away, leaving Erza a spluttering mess. Lowering the sword, she immediately took her seat as her face kept a crimson hue.

"HE KNOWS! HOW DOES HE KNOW!"

"HOW DID YOU DO THAT!?" Natsu roared out, wanting to know how to prevent the beautiful knight from dishing out punishment.

"I wouldn't mind knowing myself…" Makarov mentioned casually. Everybody knew the terror of Erza and her fury.

"Heh…just fight horrible monsters and the wrath of women is easy to handle. Now, as I was saying, Hollowstorm was a massive push by the COG to defeat the locust. I had been helping to build the Grindlifts for the offensive toward Landown…"

Continuing his story, the lighthearted mood was quickly forgotten as the visitor retold horrors upon horrors. The loss of more friends and comrades…the torture of children…the nightmare of fighting through the belly of the riftworm among a lake of blood… Some of the mages actually turned green from hearing that tale of a ten mile long worm sinking whole cities.

Lucy looked at this man as her face turned a sickly green. Yes…they had seen some bad things because of Observer, but Dragneel's life sounded horrible. "I think I'd actually throw up if I saw that much blood! He almost drowned in it with Erza and his two other friends…I don't ever want to see something like that! And lakes of acid and…horrible monsters that ate flesh…" the blonde shuddered as she looked at her friend Natsu. He hadn't turned green like her and a few others…but she could see the horrified looks in his eyes.

It was a horrible tale of carnage, blood, loss, and hate. They all learned how several members of his guild were killed by the horrible monsters upon his return home with Echo squad…that he and Juvia pulled off a devastating unison raid that destroyed the attacking locust army…and a quarter of Magnolia that left twenty-five thousand dead. The news that Bicslow, Laki, Jet, Droy, Nab, and Vejetter had died…that Cana lost a leg and Mira her own eye with her sister barely clinging to life passed a somber mood among the hall. The man finally stopped at the point he returned home from universe two hundred AB.

"No wonder Gildarts lets him date Cana in his universe…" Macao mentioned to his friends, knowing the crash mage was over-protective of his little girl. Simply put, this version of Natsu had faced the locust queen and lived. He had saved the last bastion of humanity against those monsters and lit off an ocean of fuel underground. His actions were almost like out of a story.

"When I finally got back from my little side trip with Juvia, Mira so damn happy and furious at the same time that she insisted we take a job together the very next day. And the others…they were cool with it. And so, we set off to go take care of a dark guild. But…" The man rasped out before taking a sip of his beer. With the approaching dusk, the man had asked Kinana for one as the Observer listened silently. He figured it was best to just learn and listen.

"I'm guessing it didn't go to well" Laxus asked as he continued to sit with his team.

"Your right…it didn't. These dark mages…were some bad mother fuckers. Rape…murder…sex slavery…they pretty much did every vile thing you could think of"

Pausing again, he was distinctly aware that Mira was hanging on his every word. "They had buried lacrima landmines in the area. Powerful enough to take down an S-class mage such as myself or Mira. One went off and blew me into the woods, knocking me out. Mira…was taken by those animals…" He growled out, his eyes practically flashing fire as his fists clenched. Feeling Mulan's soft hand on his shoulder, the Gear calmed down enough to continue his tale.

"When I came too, Mira was gone…but I could smell where she was taken. I followed the path to their hall…they had covered the walls with the bodies of their enemies…crucified some of them. I kicked in the door, and their guild master had put her in magical restrains and chains. That fucker was seconds away from mouth raping her…and his cronies were going to follow. They had Mira…my Mira…My MJ! And I killed every. Last. One. I rescued her and killed dozens of men. And from that day forth…anybody that threatens my ladies…won't live to regret it" The man finished darkly as several in the hall gulped.

"You…did all that for her?" Mira asked softly as she glanced at her own Natsu. "Would he go that far for me?"

"I did. I love her and she is one of my ladies. And that night when we got home…she wanted to do…adult things with me"

"But…she was almost gang-raped right? Don't you think you should've waited?" Lisanna asked, silently glad Dragneel managed to save her sister from such a horrible fate…even if it was another universe.

"I asked her that. I may be an asshole sometimes, but I'm not a dick. I'm not gonna get with a girl that went through that whole thing just hours before. But she was sure…then I asked her again and then…well, I'm sure you can figure it out" The scarred man finished as Juvia looked at Dragneel.

"That sounds like a universe we saw earlier…but with another Juvia…"

"What happened?" Mulan asked the rainwoman, her eyes locking with Juvia's.

"She had been captured by slavers. They had…raped her. Juvia thought it would be Grey to save that other one, but it was Natsu…and he looked furious" The blunette said softly as Dragneel nodded.

"Did he kill them all? Save her?"

"He did. I don't know what kind of backlash he would receive for killing since we have a no killing policy, but he saved that woman and left that whole place in ashes" Makarov told the man from his spot at the bar.

"Good. I'm glad he slaughtered those scum and saved her. I just hope he gets her the help she needs" the Gear finished as Levy raised another question.

"I'm going to guess your guild doesn't have such issues with killing?"

"No. While we do try to capture first…there are some things that won't be forgiven. For example. If I fought a gang that had robbed a bank, I'd use non-lethal means to take them down. But, if I found a group of bandits that raped girls Wendy's age….I would bring horror and nightmare into their deaths as they screamed for mercy, which would not be given"

This had put a new damper on the mages, knowing that these three came from a reality that just seemed…darker…brutal, even without the locust.

Listening to his words, Natsu didn't know how to feel. On one hand killing was wrong, gramps had taught him that. But Dragneel had saved Mira from a horrible fate. Clenching his fist, he glanced at the barmaid…then Lucy and Erza…at all his friends in the hall. "If anybody tried that with any of you…I'd kill them…even if it means getting banished. I could live with that so long as your all safe!"

A few more minutes had passed in silence, the only motion was Dragneel, Mulan, and Cana taking pulls of their alcohol.

"Your awfully quiet considering Dragneel here did that with your sister" Gajeel asked Elfman, trying to lighten the mood.

"He's obviously super manly to save Mira like that!" the white haired man shouted out immediately as Cana slowly raised her hand.

"Is…your Cana alright with…you know?" The lush asked quietly. "If that happened to me, I'd date him in a heartbeat. But still…it must've been horrible…" She thought to herself after hearing about her double losing a leg to the locust.

"She has a great prosthetic leg. Real skin and blood with nerves and a titanium core. Can't even tell its fake except for the scar. Gildarts spent every jewel he had for his baby girl. And now…"

"Now what?" Erza asked softly as her face slowly regained color from the horrid tale of genocide and death. "I understand why my double killed that tortured child in the hollow…but to actually do it…she must have such horrible nightmares. Add that with the…the…riftworm and the…locust kitchens…" She gave an involuntary shudder, thanking fate that she didn't have to watch such things unfold as she returned her attention to Mulan as she butted in was a small grin.

"Now…Gildarts is determined to help Cana plan a wedding with Dragneel here. He's completely supportive of grandchildren and has even offered to pay for a honeymoon. And now that she's S-class along with Levy, he thinks its super awesome. Cana though…thinks he's being a pain in the ass" Mulan chuckled as her double looked at her oddly. She had come to accept…grudgingly that this other her did love this man…even she could understand why after hearing all of that.

"Are you alright with that? Sharing him and everything?" Bisca asked as Alzack scowled. He still wasn't over the fact that Dragneel had a version of his wife even if the man was a genius and S-class with magical power on Gildarts level or higher.

"Its fine. None of us want marriage or children until we beat the locust anyway…well…Juvia would" The sniper exclaimed before turning to her man at her side. "I still can't believe you promised her the first chance at children" she teased as the male shrugged.

"You promised Juvia that?" the rainwoman asked softly. She was feeling a bit torn. On one hand, she loved the idea of children…but with Grey. Dragneel seemed to love his Juvia though…she wasn't sure what to think right now…

"Yeah, but we can discuss that later. I've explained much of the locust war up to this point. So last summer, Magnolia was a wreck. Not only did we have to bury some friends, but the city itself was suffering. The Rune Knights had taken over eighty percent casualties with their very poor weapons against the horde. Not only that, but the COG's military capability had taken serious losses in men, weapons, and vehicles" Taking a breath, he continued as Happy rested on his head, the cat copying the other Happy as he did the same.

"It was during this time that King Toma along with Princess Hisui contacted Colonel Hoffman. Both sides knew that these genocidal monsters were a threat to both our worlds. So in exchange for their advanced technology like weapons, computers, and flight, Earthland would provide medical help, food, and raw materials for the surviving Serans….there's less than forty million left out of a prewar population of over six billion….they desperately needed help" He stopped as his girlfriend took over once more.

"But bringing a world pretty much like this onto a war footing with all these new concepts…with new technologies and ways to build…it takes time. Essentially, we went into an industrial revolution that would've normally taken a few hundred years. So, Fiore is starting to build new factories and weapons, but it takes months to get the very first rifle factory up and running. After the Tower of Heaven when Erza killed Jellal for trying to rape her…there wasn't much for Fairy Tail to do against the locust. Sure, my boyfriend here would go with Echo and a few others to patrol and help on Sera with a few big missions, but for the most part, the locust were pretty quiet after the loss of Nexus and the Battle of Magnolia"

"So basically…both sides were worn out and couldn't fight each other for a while?" Laki asked, still saddened that she was dead in this other universe. She wasn't sure, but she could've accepted being in a harem with someone like Dragneel…even if she had eyes on her own Natsu.

"Pretty much. So, we have the ability to travel to other universes…the locust war is in a low key stalemate and we are all very strong…"

"I suspect this is where you start breaking the laws of the multiverse…" The celestial being asked tiredly, not bothering with trying to convince the two mages to change their minds. It has long become apparent these two will keep doing what they're doing.

"That's right. So, we started to see what was out there. I still remember one of the first realities we came across. That day it was just myself and Lucy in the hall. My girlfriends had decided on a 'ladies day' or something and Grey was off training with his counterpart from universe 200-AB. The only ones in the hall were Makarov and a few others. We just…punched in a random number and the reality that came up…it was Lucy being mouth raped on Bora's ship by one of his crew"

Slamming her hands upon the table, Erza looked horrified at what one of her friends had gone through. Lucy herself had the blood drain from her face, remembering that day she was rescued.

"PLEASE TELL ME YOU SAVED HER!" The knight yelled as Natsu jumped up, his fists on fire.

"YEAH! LUCY NEEDS YOUR HELP!" the fire dragon roared out, hating the idea of his close friend forced into something so awful.

"But I thought it was irresponsible of us to go and help people in other universes with the locust threat?" Dragneel grumbled out before taking another swig of his beer. Mulan now was on her second, enjoying a frothing cup as Mira made her opinion known.

"But your war is in a slump! Those vile creatures aren't doing anything at that point in time! You had to have helped her!" The bar maid practically screamed out.

Looking at them all, the Gear nodded as he pointed a finger to Erza. "And that is how we started to go and help others in different realities. During the breaks between missions when there's nothing in the pipe from Hoffman, we go and do our best to help those we can. And just so you all know, myself and Luce jumped to that ship…Luce…she slaughtered most of his crew. Let me tell you, I had never seen her that mad before, even with the fights with Sam. We got her double to Fairy Tail after wards because it was still her dream to join. Turns out Wakaba never told Natsu about the 'Salamander' Rumor and because of that, she almost became a sex slave in Bosco" The man finished as he glared at the smoke mage, making him cringe with a heavy dose of fear.

"Is…she happy now?" Lucy asked quietly, thankful that fate hadn't happened to her.

"Well…she's not exactly trusting of men. She does get along great with Natsu and Erza helped her get really strong. Those two…eventually got very close…like romantically. As for Natsu, he dates Cana, Juvia and Mira. Past that, their universe has been pretty quiet"

"You mean…" Erza blushed heavily along with Lucy, the news that they…were intimate in another reality dropped like a bombshell. But they weren't the only ones as Natsu, Juvia, Cana, and Mira gained redness to their cheeks.

"That sounds hot" Bisclow grinned as he imagined the blonde and red head together.

"HEY! Just because they're together does not mean its for your amusement! Those two love each other very much and don't do that for your enjoyment!" Mulan pointed a finger furiously, waves of fury wafting off her body as she glared at the helmeted mage.

Gulping heavily, Bisclow nodded his head, fearing this woman even more than Erza. "I…uh meant…that it's a beautiful bond between two people!" he shouted out, his fear from Mulan making his voice crack.

Seeing the battle hardened sniper calm down, the man breathed a sigh of relief as Observer rejoined the conversation.

"But I don't understand mortal? What do you gain by committing such actions? And why would you concentrate on a single guild out of hundreds across the planet? There are billions of people and you seem to just concentrate on this group here" To him, it was very confusing what these humans did. The paths of each reality were destined to play a certain way, no matter how joyous or painful to the mortals.

"People tend to help those they are familiar with first on instinct. For example, if say…Levy found a universe where her double was facing danger, but a mage from…Twilight Ogre was in the same bind, she would probably help that other Levy first… plus, it's the right thing to do" The scarred man said simply as he studied the being. "Look, I get your some sort of god or something based off of what Knightwalker told me with that fucking hound monster, but you also don't understand human nature. Many humans in general would help those in need. Maybe not to the extent we have, but it's there. Any attempt to try and stop us from meeting and helping other universes will be met with deaf ears. To be honest, if you tried to come to my reality and stop us, we would either capture you for study or simply throw you into the black hole universe and be done with you. So…just sit there and observe" the muscular man finished as Grey cleared his throat. After hearing all of that over the past few hours, there was no way in hell he would piss this guy off as the celestial being fell silent.

"Okay…so something we've been noticing while watching these other universes is that Natsu seems to get multiple women. Why does that flame haired dumb-ass keep getting all of them? He doesn't even know what dating is!?" Grey asked as his voice grew louder.

"HEY! I know what dating is! I'm just not a stripping ice block or a pervert!" Natsu roared out as the soldier chuckled. He always got a kick at how hyper his doubles were as Erza sent a quick glare at the two mages.

"Well, it's because we're awesome and the ladies know this" Dragneel smirked before Mulan slapped him upside the head, her face a light scowl.

"Give him an actual answer! Don't be cocky!" She scolded as the man grumbled. This had caused a light ripple to flow around the hall as several mages chuckled.

"I'm glad to see even if he's like…some super Natsu that women can still scold him" Gajeel smirked as Levy listened intently. The words of Gajeel were forgone as the script mage was still coming to terms that she, Levy McGarden was the one of the main forces to invent dimension travel had hit her like a freight train. And she was S-Class! Her! "If I could meet their Levy, imagine what she could teach me!"

"Well…just think of everything Natsu has done for the guild? All the fights against dark mages and monsters that wanted to harm or do worse to you all? How he loves everybody here? Lesser men…they probably would want…compensation for rescuing Erza at the tower. Or all the times he's saved Lucy or some of the other women in the hall. But he…" Dragneel pointed to his counterpart as he listened intently "Never asks for anything in return. Not even as his fame and power grow. He just wants to help his friends and those around him. Most may be…simpler than I am, but they all have good hearts. You take all that into consideration and is it a surprise that he catches the eyes of women?"

"Huh….I guess he does have a point. I wasn't exactly….nice in the past" Laxus stated as his team nodded.

"Well, that. Or its one of those strange dragon mating universes. But we've only seen a few of those" Dragneel pondered as he stroked his chin in contemplation.

"Dragon mating?" Levy asked in confusion. She had never heard of anything like that.

"Yeah. Basically when a slayer reaches maturity, they start searching for mates. It's an instinct thing that they have zero control over. They basically emit some pheromone that is very attractive to the woman or women they find strong and beautiful. When they find the female in question, the dragon slayer then…'marks' his mate to show that she is his and to warn off any other males. It is a lifetime commitment for both parties that ends with multiple children. But I have to say, that one Natsu with Juvia, Lucy, Evergreen, Erza, Mira, Lisanna and Laki is one damn happy family" the soldier chuckled, seeing renewed blushing taking over the mentioned mages.

"Are you like that?" Freed asked the man. By his count, Dragneel dated a Seran woman named Sam. Then Erza, Mira, Juvia, Cana, Knightwalker, and Bisca if he counted correctly.

"Nah. I didn't even set out to build a harem in the first place" The male admitted before taking another slug of beer.

"You didn't? Then how did it happen?" Bisca asked, holding her daughter that had fallen asleep in her arms.

Letting out a light cough, Mulan looked at her double with a hint of embarrassment. "It's usually us women that get the harems started. Most Natsu's….don't even know until one day their tackled by a group of girls that all want to be his girlfriends. The same goes for my man here. He was concentrating on fighting the locust, not starting romantic relationships. But honestly…do you think he would stay single long? Then you have the fact of…well, there's a few kids here, so I won't go into that…" Mulan admitted as several understood her implied meaning.

But, if he wanted to, he could easily triple the number from eleven women to over thirty"

"YOU HAVE ELEVEN GIRLFRIENDS!" Most of the guild shouted out, shock washing their features as Wendy blushed. She hoped she wasn't one of them. She still couldn't believe her older self in that one universe had been interested in Natsu…like that. Yes, she loved him, but like a sister loves her older brother.

"Yup…damn…I hope they're doing okay with the locust invasion…." The hardened man said softly, worry etching his features.

"Oh yeah….they're attacking your world right now aren't they?" Levy asked softly, hoping she would never see one in person. To lose Jet and Droy to them…she couldn't imagine it.

"All my ladies are strong and know how to fight. Even Kinana knows how to use a lancer. But for her….I hope she's helping with evacuations instead. She's just…too kind for the front lines"

"I'm one of them too?" the purple haired woman asked with surprise and a little joy.

"Yup. And before you all go scolding me about getting back, it's the dead of night now there with a massive storm. Even if the three of us stepped back now, we would just be taken to the palace. There are whole divisions of Rifle Knights equipped with these weapons along with the air force and tanks supported by artillery. And if I know Hisui and her generals, they're probably establishing a defensive line along the west river and at each bridge crossing. This time…we have the means to kill these bastards" He grunted out before looking at the guild. "Would you like to see a picture of them all?"

"Are they in sexy bikinis?" Makarov asked, liking the idea that this man managed to find some semblance of happiness. Plus, sexy ladies in bikinis!

"No. It's just a week after the S-class trials. Wendy took the picture…even if Meredy was trying to goad her into a fight"

"Huh? You have Meredy in your guild? And why would I fight her?"

"Well, basically you two are rivals. Your both near the age of fifteen and fight like Erza and Mira used to. Some of the things you two say…damn" Mulan chuckled at the sky maiden who was extremely confused. Why would she have a rival? She was really nice! But…if she was close to fifteen….that means her chest should be growing!

"…the repair bills must be atrocious…" The old guild master commented, remembering all the fights his two children had started back in their childhood.

"Anyway…" He started to say as he re-equipped a lacrima into his right hand. Walking toward the center of the room, Dragneel was briefly aware that night had fully fallen outside the guild hall. "looks like the amplifier is still online…that means my house is fine. I'll get an I.V.D. built tomorrow. Fuck, that star-eating annoyance better not do anything…Eh, I could always kill him" Shaking his head, Dragneel pushed away the thoughts as the guild eyed the lacrima in his hand.

"This is nothing bad. It's just a picture of us all taken with a lacrima camera"

Setting it on the ground, the magical orb gave a small glow before an image of a dozen people burst forth. Standing at the same size as any of them in the hall, it was like they were standing right there.

In the center was Dragneel with his arms crossed, a small smirk on his face as Juvia hung on his left side, a bright smile adorning her features. On his left was a pink haired woman, her large chest straining against a tight fitting shirt as the guild recognized many of the women, despite the differences in clothing. A short haired brunette woman was hefting a lancer rifle, standing near Erza Knightwalker as she was flanked on the other side by a rather busty Levy with a four inch facial scar along her left cheek. A pair of yellow goggles was pushed back to her hairline as her chest strained against the 'Mad Genius' shirt levy was fond of. A gun rested in a holster on her side, held up by a belt with numerous pouches and pockets. Bisca was standing close to the group, holding her trusty longshot as she too, gave a small smile.

Hisui was immediately recognized standing next to Kinana and Cana, all three of them smiling as Erza and Mira stood side by side near the pink haired woman. Erza was in combat fatigues and a grayish tank top, her smile adorning the scene as Mira wrapped an arm around her friend's shoulders. The barmaid herself was in tight, black pants and a purple shirt that read 'Property of Natsu'

"HEY! That's Natsumi! Are you dating yourself!" Evergreen shouted in horror, not believing this man would do something so…weird.

"FORGET THAT! LOOK AT ME! WHY DOES SHE GET BIG BOOBS!" Levy wailed, completely forgetting to be horrified that she was in a super harem with ten other women.

"IT REALLY IS TRUE! YOUR DATING TWO ERZA'S!" The red head exclaimed in a panic. "How does he keep them from killing each other!?"

"DO YOU MAKE YOUR MIRA WEAR THAT SHIRT YOU BASTARD!?" Elfman roared out as he cracked his knuckles. To be honest, he forgot that this man fought nightmarish monsters. All he saw was the fire mage making his sister behave like property. During all of this, Juvia was blushing heavily along with the other girls in this harem as Natsu stuttered.

"All these women will kill me!"

Observer watched the mages immediately freak out, his gaze questioning their actions. He still didn't understand why they reacted this way. They had seen many instances of the man in question with multiple women already. Why was this any different?

"Oh, for the love of…CALM DOWN!" Dragneel shouted out, making the guild fall into silence. Pinching his nose, he took a deep breath as he calmed the annoyance bubbling inside him.

"First of all, Natsumi there has a completely different genetic tree than I do, Evergreen. To put it simply, I have more in common with you genetically than her. Her birth parents were completely different people. She was still raised by a different Igneel and has fire magic, just we have no relation past that. She is a completely different person than I am. Plus…its better than her dating Grey"

"I….guess that makes sense…" The brunette said with embarrassment as she retook her seat. If he said it was fine, she had to trust his judgement. Plus, if he knew about genetics, he had to know if they would be compatible.

"Why do you make Mira wear that shirt? She isn't your property, Dragneel" Elfman glowered, his manly muscles wanting to test against the soldier before him.

"Natsu doesn't make her wear that! She does it herself! She even tries to make the others wear similar shirts! It makes Knightwalker and Sam mad!" Happy exclaimed with a giggle as Mira blushed.

"I'm not sure how I feel with you dating your own Levy…" Gajeel told the scarred man who glanced in his direction. The script mage was at the table pouting, mumbles of 'lucky, big-breasted Levy' leaving her lips in a whisper. She had heard about the scar already from the story earlier, but he didn't mention she was stacked…or dating him. "But…if he's smart…I can see how a version of me would be attracted to that…"

"Yeah…well, it's not like your even on the same team in my universe. Sure, your friends, but past that…she hates the fact that so many of her versions date you Gajeel. If she can, she will try to get versions of her with other Natsu's. Oh…and she can completely beat the crap out of you no problem. Levy is one of the strongest women on the continent and has no qualms about killing evil bastards. Besides…your dating Milliana"

"W…what?"

"Yeah, you formed a team with her after the T.O.H" Dragneel waved it off as Erza walked forward, inspecting the brown haired woman next to Knightwalker. She wanted to punish the iron dragon slayer for dating her friend…but she had a suspicion her twin had already seen to that.

"Is this Samantha Bryne? The leader of Echo Squad?" she asked as many girls started to study the brunette female with the deadly rifle in her hands.

"She's beautiful…" Laki said in slight awe as Mulan gave a small laugh.

"You say that…but don't let her hear you say it. Sam is the perfect example of an alpha female. She despises weakness and 'girly girls' like Lucy…which explains the rivalry. In many aspects, it's just as bad as your own Natsu and Grey fighting all the time." Placing a finger to her bottom lip, Mulan revealed more about the beautiful Sergeant.

"To earn her respect, you better be strong…willing to fight and kill your enemies. She has no filter on what she says or talks about. If you asked her how sex with Dragneel was, she would go into detail about it right in the hall and not give a shit who she offended" Mulan told the mages as she rested a finger to her lips, trying to think of more.

"Her magic is Phoenix Fire…basically laser magic with some electricity. Measured up, she'd probably be a match for your Natsu. And at least she's way more friendly now…Wendy was a big help with that. And Knightwalker considers Sam her best friend"

"I helped her? How did I do that?" Wendy asked in curiosity as the sniper continued.

"You remind her of her dead sister. Sam…the locust killed her whole family. She had a mother and father…two older brothers and a younger sister. She was six when it happened…but she survived even though her whole home town was slaughtered by them. Her trust was very hard to earn and even though she won't say it, she loves her new family and would kill anybody who threatens us." Mulan gave a slight pause, taking an inhale of breath.

"When you first joined the guild, Wendy…it was like a switch. We had never seen her act…so normally to anybody. Sure, she got along with Glenn, Erza and Natsu since she did date him, but…she had trouble relating to most of us. Meeting you, she immediately took you under her wing to start training you in hand to hand combat, firearms, magic…you name it. Then when Knightwalker joined after Edolas, those two hit it off being two military women. Erza K. started helping to train Wendy too, and after she gained her purple lightning, Sam decided it was time to form…and I quote. "A super duper fucking group of badass women. She volunteered myself and Levy to join Crimson Gear that same day"

"I don't even want to think about what those two have taught your Wendy" Carla mentioned in slight horror at the what Mulan just revealed. Yes…she felt bad that woman lost her sister and family, but pairing up with Knightwalker? She had to be insane!

"But what about Alzack? Weren't you on a team with him still?" Bisca asked as she couldn't contemplate being on a team with the huntress. Seeing her doubles eyes darken with hardness and pain, the mother knew something bad had happened.

"Alzack's dead. The locust killed him during their renewed offensive a few weeks after Christmas….over three hundred thirty thousand died during those battles…and…that's all I'll say about that…" Mulan finished, cutting off any further questions as she turned her eyes away. Anybody who caught a glimpse could see the pain behind her soul…and decided to leave the issue alone.

"I…guess that explains a few things…" the father of Asuka said to his wife who nodded somberly. She didn't know the relationship Mulan had with Alzack back in their universe, but losing him must have been very painful along with so many others.

Watching as Dragneel powered down the lacrima, he went back to his girlfriend and Happy as Natsu grinned at Lucy.

"You hear that! You have a rival! I bet you start some great guild fights, Lucy!"

"You completely missed the point, Natsu!" the blonde shouted before leaning back in a huff. Did she really fight like Grey and Natsu in Dragneel's reality? "I can't picture that at all…but then, I date Grey there too while Juvia loves Natsu in some super harem…"

"Well, I've told you a good chunk of some things that have happened in my life. Why not share some things you've seen? Just please. One at a time" Dragneel asked as he glanced at the clock. Seeing it past ten, he knew the time difference would be catching up soon. Mulan had finished her second beer and had snuggled up next to him, resting her head on his shoulders as her green locks flowed down her back.

"There was a pretty nasty one hours ago. These…dragon…lizard things had captured this Natsu and started pulling out his organs for this experiment. We still have no idea why. I know Salamander is an idiot…but he didn't deserve that. That…was really tough to watch. His screams were horrible…" Gajeel told the visitors as Pantherlily looked at his friend.

"Why would you bring up that one?"

"I dunno! Maybe somebody from Dragneel's universe found that Natsu!?" the dragonslayer spat out, hoping that somebody did.

"Sorry, none of us have come across something like that. And with the time difference, the events could be weeks or months old now. I know you might think we're super awesome or maybe not, but we learned very quickly that no matter what…you can't save everybody"

"But, can't you go there and save him or something?" Evergreen asked. Sure, she wasn't interested in Natsu…but she could contemplate Dragneel and seeing that version in that state as those monsters tore him apart to rebuild him…not something she would forget.

"Even if I had a portal gun, I would need the dimensional co-ordinates. I'm sorry…there's nothing I can do for him. Are there any other bad ones you want to tell me about?" he rumbled as the mages thought of all the universes they'd seen.

"Um….there was a really, really horrible one" Wendy whispered before she continued the tale. "We saw another Wendy. She had been strapped to a table by this horrible man in a mask…he…he killed and ate Happy. Then…he started to…torture her…"

"And let me guess. That monster threw her to his dog's so they could start fucking that poor girl" Mulan finished as the sky maidens eyes widened.

"Wait…did you…?" Laxus started to ask as the sniper stood up and walked over to the twelve year old. Kneeling down, Mulan set a comforting hand on Wendy's shoulder as she gave a small smile. "We got to her in time. Crimson Gear managed to extract her and get her the medical care she needed. Some of it was experimental or alien technology, but all the…vile things he did to her we managed to fix. Yes…she had a long road to recovery and took almost a month to have her tongue regrow or to walk again, but she's alive and with Fairy Tail. She still needs therapy, but that's to be expected. And get this, Levy gave her an eye to shoot lasers out of. It relies on bio-electricity so as long as she's breathing and alive, she has a last line of defense"

"That's….wonderful to hear" Erza said with a smile. Yes, these people were war torn killers, but they still did good.

"Why would you save her? You interfered with how that universe was supposed to go. That woman was supposed to die that day" Observer stated as the three visitors glared at him. Ignoring the creature, Mulan gave Wendy a hug as she wrapped the girl in her arms.

"I'm sorry if you saw what she went through, but you can be assured that she's healthy and thriving. Levy even found a Happy that had lost his whole family to old age. He had outlived everybody because of an immortality spell and was really lonely. So…we took him where he was needed after curing that magic. They both needed each other and now Erza and Mira are living with Natsu and Wendy…she wanted them all to live together…that sly little girl" the greenette finished as Wendy wiped a few tears from her eyes.

"Thank you…for saving her" She sniffled as Carla rested a comforting paw on her thigh. Watching that all unfold had been horrifying to them all.

"What happened to the guy?" Elfman asked, silently hoping these people had taught him a lesson.

"His name was Warren Skinner…a shadow user. If he's in this universe, I suggest tracking him down…just in case. But, since he enjoyed torture so much, Sam and Knightwalker saw to that"

"What did they do?" Lucy asked, having a feeling those two would not be kind to that monster. "But let's be honest…he deserved a horrible fate. I'm just glad they rescued that other Wendy"

"Um…shoved nails in his eyes…smashed his hands with a hammer…used her chainsaw to cut off his limbs than set him on fire. Knightwalker made a call to several other universes to start purging the whole strand of that bastard. Within the hour, dozens of versions of him were dead or captured….good riddance"

"Uh…well….I guess karma worked against him…" Grey muttered. Sure, torture was an awful thing, but hearing they had rescued that young woman and turned the tables on him…kind of made him happy.

"How about something with a little less doom and gloom?" Dragneel suggested as the visiting Happy reached into his backpack. Pulling out two fishes that glowed a soft golden yellow, he flew over to his counterpart.

"Here…this is a fish from the yummy fishy universe. I feel bad you saw that happen…" the blue cat told his twin.

Taking it into his paws, Happy took a bite as his double sat down next to him. Eyes widening, the irises leaked tears.

"It's…DELICIOUS! THIS IS THE BEST FISH EVER!" The cat cheered out as his dopple smiled. Taking another bite, Happy was in a state of cat bliss.

"IT IS! I FOUND IT WITH JUVIA! SHE MAKES FISHING SO MUCH FUN! AND IT'S SUPER HEALTHY!" The second Happy said loudly as the two mimicked each other perfectly in eating the fish.

Watching his cat eat with the other, Natsu couldn't help but smile. He was sure of it. These were good people if they went out of their way to save that other Wendy. They may have brutal methods, but he could understand why they were like that.

"Hey, remember that one we saw where Romeo got three girlfriends? That one was pretty nice, even though there was that E.N.D. guy getting annoyed with it all" Kinana suggested, not wanting to dwell on the awful realities they've seen.

"OH YEAH! He was trying to enjoy his day off since me and Erza…were away somewhere…" Natsu blushed, remembering how that demon guy said he and the knight were noisy the night before.

Giving a light grunt, Dragneel leaned back against the table as he crossed his arms. "I've been there. E.N.D. is an asshole. It took us less then two minutes to start fighting. We ended up trashing a third of Magnolia and cratered a forest while burning the rest to ash" he chuckled as the mages looked at him in a new light.

"Just how strong is this other Natsu?" many thought as Romeo butted in.

"Why did you start fighting?"

"He called me a coward and made fun of my scars. So…I decked him through the fucking doors. After that, we just started beating the crap outta each other. Man…he is one ugly mother fucker"

"Did you win!?" Natsu asked excitedly. Oh, how he wished he could've seen that fight!

"It was a draw. My man here matched that demon blow for blow. McGarden and Marvell got to watch the whole fight with me though" Mulan finished as her throat emitted a light chuckle. Turning to Romeo, she had an impish smirk. "Your double there saw Marvell and figured she was just like his own little girlfriend. Oh boy…was he wrong"

"What did she do?" Asked Pantherlily in a tone of curiosity toward the woman.

"Well…we tried to stop him, but that Romeo set a hand on Marvell's shoulder…which made her think of Sam's 'life lesson number seven"

"What's that?" Evergreen asked.

"Basically, it's…If a boy sets his hands on you and you don't like it, punch him in the cock! So…Marvell did and the little punk doubled over in pain. She didn't apologize either which was great!"

"Uh…does your Wendy not like me as a friend or something?" Romeo asked as some of the men grimaced. Getting hit there would be no joke.

"No, she's your friend in our universe even though your only ten. What she doesn't like is other Romeo's assuming she would be interested just because she's almost fifteen and similar in age. That…annoys her" Dragneel finished as he left the meaning hanging. Based on what everybody heard, Wendy from one thirty seven C was raised by some deadly soldiers and was very confident.

"Jeeze…what would happen if she got mad" Laxus wondered.

"OH! She would beat you down with her personal baseball bat until you cried for mercy!" Mulan said happily as she gave a small thumbs up to Wendy, the girl averting her eyes in embarrassment.

"You…gave her a baseball bat?" Erza asked. On one hand, she was glad to hear of a very confident Wendy punishing men, but on the other, she hoped she wasn't becoming like Knightwalker.

"Sam did…a gift for the first day they met last year. Sam…she's not the best with gifts. The only thing she really knows is weapons and violence. But still, the fact she did give a present was really nice of her" Mulan told the redhead who nodded. "Based on what we've learned of that woman, she must've had a horrible life. It gives me hope if she managed to make a friend with Wendy and…Knightwalker"

Dropping into a light buzzing of conversation, the mages digested this new information over the next few minutes as Observer stared at the scarred Gear sitting at his table. "Will you become a demon? A man such as you would become a nightmare to the multiverse"

Taking a heavy swig of beer from her barrel, Cana glanced at the two. They were still close to each other, rarely leaving each other's side as they answered a few light questions from Grey. Casting her eyes toward Natsu, she giggled when the two Happy's were trying to show off their 'awesome cat moves' to each other.

"Hey! Remember that one reality Observer showed us with that weird gun? That one was really funny!" the brunette cheered out with snippets of laughter as the males in the hall looked at her oddly. "For you women maybe…it was hell for us" Laxus and others thought in unison as they gave an involuntary shudder.

"WHY WOULD YOU BRING THAT NIGHTMARISH PLACE UP!" Grey and Natsu yelled out, remembering the horrible fate that befell them.

"Oh…it wasn't that bad" Mira giggled out as Erza and Lucy smirked.

"Juvia liked that universe as well…it showed her and Grey on a wonderful shopping trip!" the busty rainwoman said happily as the ice mage scooted further away. She was gaining a crazed look in her eye again and he needed to distance himself.

"ARE YOU KIDDING! ERZA WENT CRAZY WITH POWER!" Natsu roared out as the mentioned knight gave a light glare to the man. Sitting down with a huff, the dragon slayer pouted.

"Mind filling us in?" Dragneel asked, his darker voice echoing across the hall.

"Uh…basically, in this other universe Erza found a weird gun in room with a note from 'K' She used it on Grey and…" stifling a laugh, the script mage couldn't help but to display her humor as she continued. "HE GOT TURNED INTO A WOMAN! Then Erza and some of the other girls went crazy and started firing at every man in the hall! It was hilarious!" Levy finished with heavy laughter as Natsu continued to scowl.

"I'm just glad that stupid G.N.G or whatever got destroyed by my double…it was horrifying watching men hit on her…him? Whatever…it was awful since the girls made it a huge shopping trip!"

"It was called the G.R.G you moron!"

"Shut up stripper!"

"Huh…so that's what happened to that one…" Dragneel mentioned casually even as Grey and Natsu butted heads.

"What do you mean? You know where it came from?" Cana asked. "I wonder if we could get one…it would be pretty funny to use on some of the men here"

"Sure do. Levy invented it one day. She had been drinking the night before and came up with the 'Gender Reversal Gun'

As one, everybody in the hall looked at the script mage who had let out a small squeak in horror.

"It…was me!?"

"Yup. She wanted a way to punish 'perverted, stupid men that stare at her tits' as she said, so she invented it. Only half works though…." The salmon haired man told the group before snapping his fingers. "Does explain why she was mad at Erza K. for breaking into her lab that one day…"

"Are you saying that whole thing was caused by Knightwalker and Levy!" Bicslow asked in a horrified stupor as the man nodded.

"Yeah…turns out, Knightwalker likes to play pranks when she's in a good mood" Dragneel told them as Mulan remembered the first time use of the G.R.G. months ago.

"What did you mean it only half works?" Makarov asked the duo as Levy muttered to herself about 'mad genius ideas'

"It only turns men into women, not the other way around. If I were to shoot Erza with the G.R.G. she would just stay…Erza. And the effects on the man only last seventy two hours…give or take an hour"

"Well…I guess that answers where it came from…" Lisanna said with a smile. She had to admit, Natsu as a female was gorgeous even though she would never want that here.

"Aye! You guys remember the one with Erza, Bisca, and Evergreen with that weird girl Jellal? She liked Natsu!" Happy said in a cheer as he stuck a heroic pose with his visiting double…for no purpose at all.

"Oh yes…the one where Lisanna dated her precious Grey…" Juvia glared at the Strauss sibling, her eyes boring into Lisanna's eyes.

"WHY ARE YOU GLARING AT ME!? THAT WAS A DIFFERENT UNIVERSE!" Lisanna shouted in a panic, waving her arms from behind the bar.

"Ugh…why would you bring that one up, Happy?" Evergreen asked the little cat as she recalled what those four women and Natsu had left to do. "How would that even work!? Four women and one man at the same time?" She thought with slight levels of horror.

"At least….Celeste seems to be…a loving woman…" Erza blushed heavily along with Bisca. They both recalled that conversation taking place with the perverted woman and how she invited the three of them to fuck….rather bluntly.

"She's just as perverted as you, Erza…" Many women thought in the hall, not really surprised the busty knight would join in with the other three.

"Oh Celeste? She is one crazy, but good hearted woman. It's really awful what her brother did to her" Mulan said off handedly as the gathered mages looked at her once more.

"YOU'VE BEEN THERE TOO!?"

"Of Course! I've been to hundreds of different timelines! You wouldn't believe how often Erza participates in threesomes or foursomes! She's the most perverted after all" she laughed as the mentioned woman glared…and blushed at the same time. "But, Erza, Mira, and Levy have been to even more of them!" Mulan shot back excitedly before catching herself. She had to remember that even though they had been watching realities, they had only been doing this for one day.

"I knew she was a pervert…" Mira whispered as the guild bubbled with conversation about Erza's perverseness. To hear how she was willing to participate with other women was great news to many of the older men in the guild.

"Now…if you all calm down, I can explain a little bit on what happened"

Seeing the mages calm down along with Observer giving his keen interest, she started to tell the story. "The universe you likely saw was four thirteen-T. Celeste's original name was Jalene Fernandez, and she was a mind slave because of her twin brother, Jellal. Essentially, he implanted a control slug in her brain which made her comply with every command he gave…but she could see everything that happened around her. It would be like being trapped in your own body but somebody else controlled it"

"That's…horrible…" Erza whispered as others gained similar looks of disgust.

"It is. He made her kill your friend Sho…along with others…and torture…and just horrible, vile things. Hell, if he wanted, he could've made her have sex with anybody of his choosing. It was when you and your friends showed up that changed things for her. During your childhood in the tower, you and Jalene were best friends. So, when her brother ordered her to kill you and Natsu…she fought it. She saw how much you and Natsu cared for each other…and she wanted that. With every ounce of strength she could muster, she finally broke free moments before landing a devastating blow against you, Erza. After that, she helped you fight your brother…and killed him. After that, she went with you to Fairy Tail under a probationary period dictated by the council"

"I'm guessing that's when she started to like Natsu?" Lucy asked as she was glad the woman could overcome such an ordeal.

"Kind of? Turns out Celeste is bi-sexual, so she liked Natsu….and Erza. As for my double, her and Alzack had a massive falling out. They are trying to rebuild the friendship…but anything else will not happen there" Mulan shrugged as many of the men grinned. A bi-sexual woman that liked Erza? That would be wonderful to see to many of the older men.

"What about me?" Evergreen asked.

"You like Natsu's muscular body and his friendly personality. Even after Levy talked Laxus down during the Harvest Festival and started dating—"

"WHAT!?" The lightning and Script mages shouted out in horror.

"I'm…with…Laxus!?' Levy tried to comprehend in a small voice. Yes, he had paid his dues and was much better now…but she just couldn't see it happening.

"Yup, you even managed to convince gramps to give Laxus there one more chance…He did lose his S-class status for half a year though…Anyway, that's the story of that universe" Mulan said happily as Bisclow patted the blonde on the back.

"Hey man, at least you got a girlfriend in that one, right?"

"I guess…" Laxus relented. "At least that version of me seemed to be smarter than my dumbass self…"

"So…Dragneel, Mulan? What kind of universes have you seen beside the ones we've just talked about?" Mira asked the two as she wiped down the bar, hoping Natsu would glance her way. Unfortunately, he was paying rapt attention to the soldier which she really couldn't fault. If it was her double, she would probably be listening intently too.

"Well, there's some good ones…bad ones…and weird ones. Like, I've been to a universe where we are all still kids. And before you ask, no. I did not tell them of the locust or anything unpleasant. We just…gave them some light training and how to be super awesome when they grow up. Did help save Lucy's mom though…so that was good" Dragneel said offhandedly as Lucy smiled at the news.

"Did Lucy end up joining Fairy Tail early?" the beautiful blonde asked.

"Yup. Same with Gajeel and Juvia. We figured we might as well save them the crap with Phantom…still, Erza and Mira tried to give dating tips to their youngers selves about Natsu…that poor, lucky bastard…" He laughed with a grumble as his cheek pulled at his scar.

"What other ones have you seen?" Laki asked Mulan as she sat close to her man, enjoying his warmth.

Glancing at the clock, the sniper decided she would talk about two more universes, then head to the spare room in the back. It was getting late and they would be heading back home tomorrow.

'Hmmm…Raccoon City was pretty nasty" She commented as she placed a finger to her bottom lip.

"That's a weird name for a city" Wakaba said simply before taking another sip of beer.

"What happened there?" Grey asked as Juvia tried to slide closer to him.

"A Pharmaceutical company had been conducting illegal, genetic research within the area. Was creating bio-weapons to sell on the black market and accidentally developed a strain that turned people into flesh hungry zombies. Two thirds of the city was over-run by the time we got there with Grey and Sam. Let me tell you…the sight of shambling corpses eating living people is not something pleasant"

"The Grey you know actually fought zombies?" The ice mage asked as he clenched his fist. "That's…so bad-ass! I wish I could meet him!"

"Yup. He fought the dead, some of those skinless licker things…uh…some blood sucking leech monsters in the city sewers. Even saved this pretty police officer a few times. Let me tell, you…he almost started a harem, but I guess the timing wasn't right for him. But now, Lucy's given the go ahead for girl number two" Dragneel told the ice mage with a thumbs up…which got a glare from Juvia to her blonde rival.

"Still…the smell of thousands of rotting corpses filled the air…fucking nasty"

"Ugh…remember when that zombie elephant ate you? Or the hunters? Or the Nemesis?" Mulan shivered as Dragneel nodded. She would never forget the sight of the living dead slowly marching forward.

"Did…you manage to save anybody?" Laki asked, ignoring the bits of people eating people or the elephant. She did not want to know what hunters were. And the lickers? She couldn't imagine something without skin.

"We managed to seal off the breeched roadways in time for the military to arrive and start combat operations"

"You had no right to interfere with that universe. If that city was meant to die, then so be it" Observer stated, trying one last time to make the visitors to see reason.

"Yeah…we're not listening to you anymore" Dragneel finished as Bisca looked at her twin. "She…fought undead cannibals? Like in the movies? She's like some action hero"

"Is that the worst universe you've seen? With the zombies?" Kinana asked softly, thankful they had never seen a reality like that horrible.

"No….there have been some bad ones with people dying, but the one for me…the worst one…was universe eight seven seven-X. Otherwise known as the sex-slave universe" She whispered while clenching her fist, the knuckles turning white.

"I…don't like that sound of that" Mira stated as Mulan's eyes were crossed with horrible memories.

"You shouldn't" the sniper stated as she took a deep breath. "It was a few weeks after Alzack died. We had managed to destroy the bulk of the locust army that devasted the Woodworth region. When myself along with Levy, Erza, Mira, Sam, and Knightwalker locked onto that universe, it looked so…normal. But it was just the women in the hall. We thought it was like Mermaid Heel you know? But when we got there…we found the magic was sealed for the natives…and we learned the awful truth soon after" She took another breath, before plunging into the horrid tale.

"Almost all the women in this hall…were sex slaves. Not even an hour before, Erza and Mira had been…hired for a five man gang-bang. Cana had been taken for a 'facial party' by three other men, and Evergreen…the day before, the guild masters son had fucked you in the ass as his friends spit on you. They were completely subjugated by men" Mulan paused as the women mentioned turned deathly white along with most of the other females.

"No…" Cana whispered, her voice trembling. Observer had explained that anything was possible…but to hear that Mulan found such a vile place…it must've been a nightmare.

"It was so bad there…that they didn't know what rape was. From as early as they could remember, they had been taught that women were useless…trash…that they were only good for fucking and being sluts. They were not allowed to pursue higher education…or own businesses. Some countries across Ishgar actually banned women from even learning to read….and it had been like that for over four hundred years"

"But…didn't they try to fight?" Erza asked, the color drained from her face as Natsu growled. He may be simple, but he knew that forcing women into that kind of life was evil.

"If they did, the guilty female would be taken to the town square, stripped naked and put into stocks. Any man could rape her for the next three days. This would be handled by the local authorities…some would even partake in it"

"What did you all do?" Mira asked as her brother grew angrier across the hall. Hearing that Mira had to participate in 'that' with five men. It angered the man.

"We asked the girls there if they wanted our help…I still remember what Erza said. She said… 'I don't want to be a whore anymore…I want to open a bakery with Mira' She had started to cry…how could we turn our backs on them?"

"I'm going to guess you weren't very…forgiving to the men there" Makarov asked as Mulan shook her head side to side. "No. We established simple rules of engagement. Females are to be spared and protected…any male resisting or attacking was to be killed. And after killing that fat fuck of a guild master…we went into Magnolia. It took us twenty or so minutes to get near the train station…that's when we met the W.S.S or the 'Whore Subjugation Squad' The captain was a vile, brutal man that had received medal's for raping forty women in one month. His lieutenants were just as bad"

"Who were they?" Natsu asked with anger in his voice. Hearing what some of his female friends had been subjected too…he hoped the guilty had been punished.

Raising her finger, Mulan pointed at Grey. Eyes widening in horror, the ice mage couldn't believe he had done something so evil. Yes, there was that weird one with him as some crazed killer, but this was different.

"Captain Grey Fullbuster lead the squad. Gajeel, Elfman, Laxus, and Gildarts were his top men. Mira later found out that Elfman there…had sold his own sisters for two hundred thousand jewel and a case of whiskey"

"That…THAT IS NOT MANLY!" The muscle bound man yelled out, furious at his double for doing something so wicked to his sisters as Mulan continued.

"Gajeel…he was the first one I killed. It was surreal. I know he's a pretty good guy despite his rocky path at Phantom Lord. But the way he charged at me with hatred and brutal lust in his eyes. I knew if those men captured us, we would be raped ourselves…so I shot him between the eyes. I still remember the spray of gore as the back of his head exploded outward… We…slaughtered the men that looked like our friends and family. Mira…decapitated her own brother"

"Didn't she try to talk him out of it?" The barmaid asked with sorrow. She couldn't fathom having to do such a thing, especially to Elfman.

"She did try…he told her she was a useless, stupid slut that deserved to be gang-fucked" Mulan told the white haired beauty before continuing her horrid tale. "After that, we hijacked a train to take to Crocus. We planned on toppling King Lustus and his army…just six of us. But something amazing had happened back at Fairy Tail. The girls there…they had watched us fight…to stand up and slay their oppressors…and they figured they could do the same. They gathered clubs and knives…hatchets and pitchforks…anything they could use and stormed the city after us. They slaughtered and began liberating the other sex guilds in Magnolia…and the rebellion spread. By day's end, a third of Fiore was in full revolt as the women of that world took to the streets and fought. They…just needed a push in the right direction. And the six of us…we became known as the 'War Angels' She whispered as she glanced at the women in the hall with a few tears in her eyes.

"I…I killed so many people in that universe. I don't even know how many. All I know is that first day, the six of us slaughtered the Crocus army of ten thousand men and destroyed that evil city of rape and oppression. We killed their king and learned that his great ancestor had created the device to seal magic from the women he hated…his name was Jellal Fernandez" After that, Mulan told them of horrible battles against these evil men…of slaughter and killing done by the six across Fiore and the growing rebellion.

"When it finally ended…the death toll was easily eight hundred thousand people. We…the six of us…we became monsters to give half the human race there a future. I slaughtered and killed…butchered as cities and towns burned around me…as the screams echoed across the wind" Mulan said softly as she glanced at the ceiling. "And that…is the worst universe I've seen"

"By Mavis…" Laxus muttered. This woman here…she had committed genocide…and it didn't bother him that she had. From the horror she had fought through, he was glad that version of him was dead.

"Did…you managed to save Juvia from all that?" the rainwoman asked softly as Grey remained stoic along with most of the men in the hall. To hear they were capable of such…brutality was sickening to them all.

"We didn't have to. There had been rumors of a man that had saved five women…was teaching them reading and how to fight. He protected them from that life and never asked for anything in return. Even after he became an enemy of the state…after men hunted him…he kept those five safe"

"Who was it?" Bisca asked, glad that Asuka had fallen asleep hours ago.

"It was Natsu. He had managed to save Wendy, Levy, Lucy, Juvia, and that Bisca from becoming sex slaves. It's pretty obvious those five had fallen in love with him…even though he had never tried to have relations with any of them…I…I think I'm going to bed now. I…I don't know why I told you all that…" Mulan whispered before standing up and heading toward the spare room, her footsteps echoing across the hall.

Watching her leave, Dragneel glanced at his twin across the room. "In that universe, you're the only man who is in Fairy Tail. All the women in the hall here…have fallen for you because you treated them with respect…like actual people. Your double was quite literally one in a million for those girls…and for the first time in their lives, they have the choice to follow their dreams…to be more than just amusement for men" He paused before looking at the clock, realizing how late it was. "I…was on a training trip with Wendy across the country. If I had known what they were doing…I could've spared them the nightmares of that place…to help them"

Standing up, the Gear ended the conversation before glancing at Happy. "Hey buddy? Why not stay with Mira tonight? Mulan…she might have some bad dreams"

"Aye sir…" the visiting exceed replied sadly as his friend walked to the back room. It was close to midnight now, and the mages looked exhausted themselves as the door closing echoed from the back of the hall.

"Holy shit…just six of them liberated a whole world from that" Gajeel told nobody as Makarov stood on the bar. "If I met a Gajeel like that…I might have killed him too. I know it's wrong…but enslaving and raping women? That just makes me sick"

"I…think it would be best to call it a night. All of you go home and get some rest. Observer, would you like anybody to stay with you?"

"I'll be fine here. I don't require sleep. I believe I'll watch the stars" The celestial creature stated as the mages started to file out of the hall. Mira had started to tidy up, but the master waved it off, saying she could take care of it tomorrow. The day had been long and stressful for all, and he was not worried about a few dishes.


Half an hour later, Levy was lying in her bed, trying to sleep, but finding she couldn't. The random views of universes today had been a mixture of funny, strange, and horrible. Then to learn she was one of the main inventors of dimensional travel…of the G.R.G. That she dated Dragneel and was some sort of…locust killing mad genius that liberated millions of women in a horrible reality of rape and subjugation…it was a lot to take in.

"I don't see our Natsu that way…but Dragneel…its no wonder why he attracted so many of us…but the cost of war for him…it must be horrible…" she told herself softly as she tried to sleep…


Erza had retired to her apartment, already in her nightgown as she crept under the covers. Staring at the ceiling, she tried to calm her racing mind. "There have been…quite a few universes with myself and Natsu…along with other women. Is that destiny or…just some random quirk? But to hear how Dragneel and his Erza got together…to keep that faith for years…then to be thrown into genocidal war against subterranean monsters…She must love him very much. And then she has killed and saved…butchered and liberated…I can't imagine how her life is…but I think despite it all, she still is trying to do what's right"


"Alright Happy, I know you must want to be with Dragneel, but he asked me to take care of you" Mira said with a forced smile as she tucked the cat in on the couch in her home. Elfman and Lisanna had already headed to bed, the latest tale weighing heavily on them both.

"Thanks Mira! And its okay, I know Natsu loves his girlfriends. That's why he made me my own bedroom back home! It has fishy wallpaper!" The cat said with a smile as Mira chuckled. Leave it to the blue cat to cheer her up. Deciding to sit down, the barmaid figured this was the perfect opportunity to gain some information.

"So Happy…does your Mira plan on having children with Natsu?"

"Mhmmm! She wants a daughter and to beat Erza! I don't know if Knightwalker wants one, but Mira is determined to defeat her rival! Well…friend rival"

"Well…at least she knows to beat the guild pervert…"

"So. have you been to any universes with just me and Natsu as a couple?" she asked in a conspirator's tone, leaning close to the cat.

"I have! There was one with Natsu and Mira as king and queen of Fiore! She had two daughters and a son! She was really happy with him. That was a really peaceful universe!"

"YES! I HOPE I CAN SEE THAT ONE!" she mentally cheered with an impish look on her face…which did not go unnoticed by Happy.

"Mira? Do you like Natsu in this universe too?"

Blushing softly, the eldest Strauss sister tried to hide her heated cheeks from the cat. "Now…uh…why would you think that?"

"Because you kept looking at your Natsu ever since we got here. I may be a Happy, but I've picked up some things being around Dragneel and all his girlfriends. But don't worry, I won't tell anybody" The little cat finished before yawning. Pulling the blanket closer, the feline was soon fast asleep as Mira watched him for a few moments. Standing up, she turned off the lights. Stopping at the doorway, she glanced back at the sleeping cat. "I'm sorry your universe is so awful all the time…none of you deserve lives full of war and death…" She whispered before heading to bed.

The next day… 7:30 a.m.

Mira had arrived at the hall early with her sister, intent on cleaning it up before it opened. But what was surprising was to find Lucy, Erza, and Cana there as well.

"Now I'm not surprised to see Erza up at this hour, but I know you two like to sleep in till' later" Lisanna asked as Mira fiddled with the keys, trying to find the right one.

"Well…I'm hoping to catch Dragneel and Mulan. Maybe they can share some crazy stories or show us a few moves before everybody gets here! Plus…I need to know where Alberona got that awesome jacket!' Cana said loudly, unaware Observer was still standing on the roof, watching the clouds roll by.

"Foolish mortals. They expose themselves to such horror when they could just stay in their own realities. I just…can't understand why they would help those not of their world?" He asked himself as the five women entered the hall below.

"I just hope they can tell us something better than that horrible story of the sex slave universe…I just can't fathom something so awful and evil. Or actual zombies and skinless monsters…" Lucy said with a shudder.

"Indeed…I'm just glad they could do something about it. I must confess I had a hard time sleeping after hearing about…that" Erza replied as she started to help straighten some chairs.

"I know what you mean. I just can't compr—"

"AAAHHHHH!"

The female scream echoed through the hall, resonating from the back near the spare room as each woman's eyes widened.

"That…THAT WAS MULAN! She might be in trouble!" The knight said in panic as she re-equipped a sword. Running toward the back, she was joined by the other five as they approached the door in a group. Fearing the worst, the red head kicked it open with her blade ready.

"MULAN! ARE YOU…okay…?" She yelled loudly before her face turned the brightest shade of red ever. She wasn't the only one either as Cana, Mira, Lucy, and Lisanna also turned crimson. Turns out, Mulan was not in trouble at all. She was on her back, with her legs spread wide as Dragneel pistoned into her like a godly jackhammer.

"Ugh…harder…ugh…if you girls want to join in, do it…ugh…or..or…AHH!" Mulan cried out once more as she was relentless pounded on the bed. Her large breasts were swaying and her body covered with a light sheen as her man continued the sexual act.

Not being able to help themselves, each of the five cast a glance at Dragneel's member before the woman's words finally registered in their minds.

Leaving the room as fast as they could, Erza slammed the door shut as each one glanced at each other.

"Did you..see his…" Cana started to say as each woman nodded with heavy blushes.

"IS OUR NATSU THAT BIG!? If he is, I wonder what…" That train of thought each entered their minds, filling it with lustful images of their own Natsu and what he could do to them. Walking robotically toward the main hall, each of them sat at a table, trying to calm their raging hormones. After all, they had just witnessed a very…private act in their own hall.

"I…I…I think I'll make us some breakfast…" Mira suggested after a few minutes of silence. Standing up, she headed toward the bar. "Imagine that…and with his boundless energy! No wonder so many women end up with him! It must be very satisfying!"

"Um…do you think our own Natsu is…uh…similarly equipped?" Lucy asked softly, her face still beet red.

"It…it…would stand to reason…" Erza replied as more lustful, perverted images ran through her mind.

"I bet that would be fun" Cana smirked, the first one to calm down after a few minutes.

"CANA! Behave yourself!" Erza scolded as Lisanna stared out a window, thankful that the two lovers had quieted down. "Imagine my crush having…that"

The sound of a shower running in the spare room had the girls breathe a sigh of relief as that signaled the two were done. Minutes later, the duo walked out as Mulan joined them at the table. Dragneel had sat at the bar, ordering some breakfast from Mira who was avidly averting her eyes.

"So…in case your wondering, most Natsu's are that big. And trust me…its very…very satisfying" The greenette smiled, her eyes showing contentment as the first mages started to filter into the hall over the next half hour.

"Perverted things aside, I have to know. Where the hell did Alberona get that awesome jacket?" Cana asked. She really thought it looked cool and maybe she could get one.

"Natsu got it for her. Had it designed just for her before a mission. He's not one for frivolous gifts, but he does have an eye for practical things. For example, he modified my sniper rifle with a powerful scope and an extra round capacity. Mira…she carries a locust chopper which he sharpened to razor deadliness. Hisui…he got her a laser rifle from the Fallout universe. Each one of us has gotten something that is practical and thoughtful"

"I see…so how do you punish him? Keep him in line?' Erza asked as the females rolled their eyes. It figures she would want to know how to punish any form of Natsu.

Thinking for a moment, Mulan had a look of pondering on her face before she revealed their strategy back in one thirty seven-C. "Well…we tried not having sex with him, but that didn't work because of Juvia, Mira, and Natsumi. Then we tried to threaten him…which how do you do that to a man that has been shot and impaled? After that, we were going to destroy his truck…but he can rebuild that. Turns out, the solution was very simple. We all take him on a three day shopping trip" She smirked, remembering the fond memories.

"That works on him?"

"Well…he did try to steal a tank to go fight the locust, but luckily Mira bribed the Gears with her cooking…it's like winning the lottery for those men. They absolutely love it. Some days she's actually gone to the main base at Jacincto with Lisanna and Kinana…just to cook for those men and women. But getting back on track, we threaten him with that and he…usually backs down"

"So…he's still vulnerable to discipline. That's good" The knight smiled as Makarov walked in. Observer had rejoined the mages, as the new day got underway with many mages striking up conversations.

"GOOD MORNING FAIRY TAIL!" Natsu shouted out as he kicked the doors open with two Happy's flying around him.

"Oh yeah…I used to do that" Dragneel rumbled as he ate his breakfast. Mulan had finally joined him for her own meal, savoring the wonderful cooking as she joked a bit with Mira and Kinana.

Walking up to Lucy and the others, Natsu sat down with his warm smile as the gathered females regained a new blush. Even before he had sat down, they each had stolen a quick glance at his pants, trying to find…'evidence' of what he's packing.

"Why are you all red? Are you sick?" Natsu asked as he inspected each woman.

"AH…no…nothing like that…haha!" Erza laughed awkwardly as she waved her arms defensively. Shrugging his shoulders and missing the stares each one was giving him, his eyes re-brightened.

"OH! Guess what? The other Happy was telling us a story about how he grew fifty feet tall and shot lasers from his eyes! He saved a whole city by himself from a giant rat and lobster monster!"

"Yeah, right Salamander. The multiverse may be weird, but come on? You expect us to believe that?" Gajeel scoffed as he sat near Levy and Pantherlily.

"It's actually true though. Happened when I was stranded on an island for two months. He saved a city of three million people from rampaging super monsters" Dragneel told the iron dragon slayer who was now studying the little blue cat.

"No way…" he muttered as the second Happy struck a heroic pose.

"I was super awesome! They're even building a statue of me! Then another time, I used a flying pig to fight a laser moose in a floating space Walrus! I saved Carla with the help of a crazy robot with bees in his head!"

"He's…had quite the adventure…" Laki thought as she studied the blue cat.

"That's not fair! I want laser eyes too!" the other Happy complained…right before taking a fish out of somewhere and starting to eat it.

"Mortal. I presume you will be heading back to your reality today?" Observer asked the Gear and his girlfriend as they finished their meals.

"Yeah. We have to get back"

"Awe man…I was hoping to fight you!" Natsu shouted out, his eyes showing the prospect excited him even if he would lose.

"Sorry Natsu, this was just a detour"

"How will you get back? Your portal gun was destroyed?" Laxus asked the soldier who nodded. Walking over to Levy, the veteran soldier sat down as he started to 'pull' items from his dimensional space.

"The re-equip amplifier is still online, and I've stored the parts needed to build an I.V.D. So long as its working, I can access a small part of my inventory"

"And if its not working?" Wendy asked, moving close to the man.

"Then I have to build it from scratch with whatever I can find. It's a pain in the ass that way. Can take days or weeks to assemble depending on where I am" he told the sky dragon before glancing back at Levy. "Wanna help?"

"Can I?" she asked hopefully as the double of her friend gave a small smile.

"Sure. Now this…this is the particle stabilizer…" Dragneel pointed out as he picked up a strange component. By now, the whole guild had gathered around the table, their curiosity too much to bear.

"You mortals should not be learning this" Observer told them from across the hall…only to have his words fall on deaf ears. The humans gathered would not miss this opportunity to listen to the rambling of the celestial being.

"WOW! Look at all this cool stuff!" Romeo stated with excitement as Dragneel instructed Levy on how to fit the Quantum Crystal into the housing.

"It is. And it can be made in almost any Earthland…you just need to know how. Alright, you just set the core in place. Now, take the Ionizing surge protector and set it here" he instructed as the script mage smiled like a kid in a candy store.

"This is so cool!" Levy said, not able to contain her excitement as she picked up a strange board with green coloring.

"Heh…knew you would think so. You know…I've met at least a dozen different Levy's who developed this on their own? We hadn't even made contact and they invented it"

"Really?"

"Yup. Your one smart cookie" he relayed, making the script mage smile some more from the compliment.

Guiding her hand, the guild had no doubts now…this Natsu was very smart if he could assemble a device to breech the walls of the universe in about an hour. Already the last screw was being fastened into place as the mages studied the strange invention.

It was square, with a dull, metallic sheen as one side was lit up with a screen of blue and red numbers. Measuring a foot wide and a foot long while standing about six inches tall, it really didn't look like much to the naked eye as a keyboard and several dials and switches covered the face next to the small screen.

"Is this…what you use to travel?" Freed asked the man as he studied the small box. "I thought it would be bigger?"

"Sure is. The design has been streamlined as we developed it more and more though" Dragneel told the green haired man nearby.

"DAMMIT! IF WE HAD THIS, WE COULD'VE HELPED THAT OTHER NATSU WITH THAT DARK MAGE ARMY!" the fire dragon roared out as Mulan cocked an eyebrow at the man. She was back in her combat armor, the deadly firearms attached to the magnetic plate on the back as yellow lights ran up the left and right sides. The words 'Death Angel' had been stenciled across the chest piece, signifying her role as a sniper.

Seeing the confused glance the greenette was giving, Lisanna started to explain. "It was a universe where Natsu went and faced a whole army of dark mages intent on conquering Crocus. There must have been a million of them and his magical strength….was mind-boggling. He had gone by himself to protect all his friends and family…he even managed to kill them all, but…" she halted, a few tears dripping down her cheeks at the horrid sight.

"He died…didn't he?" Mulan asked as several mages nodded in assent.

"Would you be able to do that? To face them alone?" Kinana asked the soldier as he stood up, an almost…sorrowful look in his eyes.

"I don't know. Maybe, maybe not. All I know is I wouldn't have faced them by myself. My girls…they made me promise if I were to face death…that I would face it with them at my side. Erza and Mira…all of them…even Knightwalker would stand by me no matter what, and I with them. So, I don't know if I could've done that with just my fists and fire, but if I were to die alone without them…it would crush them. It's why, despite my protests that they all fight the locust with me"

"My boyfriend nailed it on the head. What kind of women would we be if we let him go into battle alone against such horrors? The answer? Shitty ones. While he is by no means perfect…especially after that thing with Layla and Ur…" Mulan glared at the man who seemed to find the bar mirror particularly interesting at that moment. "He is still the man we love….and we will march through hell by his side"

"You…really do love him? Don't you?" Bisca asked her twin who gave a curt nod.

"I do. I know for you it may seem strange…but he's the man for me"

"Anyway. Natsu…if that ever happens to you, you might think your protecting your friends by fighting alone, but if you die…I know it would devastate your friends. Think how much it would hurt Lucy and Happy? Or Erza, Mira and Lisanna? Hell, even Grey would be upset"

"Don't worry, I already made him promise to never do something so foolish" Erza stated as the scarred soldier glanced at the fire mage. His eyes bored into the man's soul, searching for deceit. Dragneel knew how the Natsu's thought…how they would sacrifice themselves. Finding something of interest as he broke eye contact, he started walking over. Setting a hand on Natsu's shoulders, the veteran leaned down and whispered in his ear, low enough that not even Gajeel could hear.

"I can see it in your eyes. You promised…but are prepared to break your word for them. And I know you care for some of the girls in this hall…more than friends. I won't say anything to them, but you better figure it out…and keep your promise to not die. It would be heartbreaking for many of them" Dragneel finished as his double tried to avert his eyes.

"How did he know I would do that? Duh…he's me…And how did he know about that…other stuff!? I'm not a pervert dammit!"

"Anyway…we need to get going" Dragneel mentioned as his body was wrapped in light. Moments later, his scarred and scratched armor was adorning his body as he moved back to the I.V.D.

"Just so your all aware, you'll probably be seeing locust and lots of killing…and I don't know what you plan on doing with this when we leave, but I hope you discuss it and put it to good use. And if your not comfortable with going to other realities right now, store it in a safe place or contact universe two hundred-AB, they can be of great help. I do recommend having the dragon slayers travel once though. The portals cure motion sickness for life" He paused before glancing at Observer. To be honest, he had forgotten the being was there. He had been spouting about breaking the laws of the universe, but Dragneel managed to completely block him out. That's how little he cared for the 'god's' opinion.

"Makarov…make sure he doesn't destroy this thing. Hide it in a safe if you have to"

"I understand. I'll make sure it's kept safe until we're ready to discuss it"

Giving a nod to the old man, Dragneel started to power up the strange device. Typing in the dimensional co-ordinates, the blue letters showed '137-C' on the screen while the red displayed '21-A'

"Is that our universe?" Levy asked with a slight awe of astonishment.

"Sure is, Lev" he replied as he fiddled with the controls. In a flash of light, the hall was replaced with the image of a new world as the holographic element came into play.

"AAAHHHH! WE'RE IN THE AIR!" Happy cried out as he looked around. His words were true, it looked like everybody was standing in mid air as the crackling sounds of battle and the rumble of artillery echoed nearby. Turning, the guild mages were horrified by what they saw.

"It..it's Crocus…" Lucy whispered, her eyes straining with hurt as they took in the sight. Two thirds of the city was a wreck as numerous firestorms washed through whole neighborhoods. The sun was already out, mixing in with the haze of ash and flames as strange flying machines dived at targets. Watching one, it wailed like a banshee through the air before releasing a strange, finned object from its underbelly at a marching Brumak and several foot soldiers near a large bridge spanning the west river. Pulling up after release, fire and shrapnel bloomed, incinerating the locust soldiers and blowing off the legs of the large horror.

"What was that strange machine?" Grey asked, the man still unsteady as they all just…stood in mid-air.

"Stuka dive bomber. We stole the plans from a museum in the 'Miami' universe. And relax, for that world, its obsolete technology" Mulan finished as her boyfriend started to zoom in on the closest of three bridges.

Watching with wide eyes as artillery fired at distant targets, Laxus witnessed the collapse of several apartment buildings from the deadly explosions as they blew more of the monsters to bloody chunks or buried them alive. Finally, the view centered on the west bank of the river as hundreds of soldiers fired from behind hastily erected concrete barricades, abandoned cars, or from buildings hugging the river. They were firing at the locust across the blue expanse, a steady crackle of gunshots and screams echoing over the water. Grimacing as one unfortunate soldier had his head blown off, the lightning mage swallowed deeply as gore splashed a familiar face.

"IT'S ME!" Grey shouted, horrified his counterpart was fighting those monsters…but at the same time glad he was brave enough to do so.

"AND ME!" Evergreen commented, recognizing herself as she fired at the monsters pushing across the bridge.

"Keep hitting them! Everything you got to kill these bastards!" a man in armor yelled out, a worn do-rag on his head as a three others huddled nearby.

"It's Delta…okay. Time to go" Dragneel murmured as gunfire echoed across the bridge. Several drones had fallen, their bodies riddled with bullets as blood seeped along the pavement.

"As soon as we're through, hit that button and close the portal" He instructed as Happy and Mulan gathered near the center of the hall.

"Your…really going into all that?" Lucy asked quietly as a woman fell, screaming from a burst of machine gun fire.

"Yeah…break time's over" He stated before his eyes widened. Using his re-equip magic, Dragneel brought out a simple lacrima.

"Here kid…catch" He tossed it to Natsu, the slayer catching it as he stared at it oddly.

"What's this?"

"The training regimen my guild uses…share it with your friends and you'll all make stellar progress in no time" He smirked before his face set into a usual scowl.

"Hit it"

With that, Levy pressed the button as portal sprung forth, right near the embattled soldiers. Walking through, Mulan and Happy disappeared, reappearing right near Evergreen as the sniper immediately took cover behind a large cinder block. Pausing at the swirling breech of blue and purple, Dragneel halted in his step.

"And kid?" He glanced over his shoulder.

"Uh yeah?"

"Get yourself a girlfriend. It's fucking embarrassing to the rest of us" Dragneel smirked before marching through, leaving Natsu blushing at his own words.

As soon as it left, Levy hit the button, sealing the portal as the guild watched with horrified interest.

"Where the fuck have you been?" Grey shouted out as he fired a few deadly icicles at an approaching boomer, skewering its leg as more locust marched across the bridge.

"I had a super fun date night with Bisca! But I'm pretty sure Evergreen fell in love with me! Was eye-fucking me half the time!" The soldier shot back, blind-firing over his cover as his bullets arced over the shattered roadway.

"DAMMIT! AGAIN!?" Evergreen yelled out before flinging a grenade, consuming a pack of wretches as a large tank rumbled up from the west, its cannon spouting flame at a distant target across the river.

"It's true. I saw the whole thing happen as soon as he took off his shirt! She blushed like a school girl!" Bisca teased as she fired at a snarling drone, her deadly accuracy shattering its teeth as the monster tried to move up. Falling to the ground, it howled before Bisca shot it a few more times, killing it in the road without mercy.

"WOOO! That's my boy! Always making the ladies swoon! You could learn a thing or two from him Baird!" A large man yelled out as he fired nearby, the sounds of war blooming and flaring.

"Ahhh, shut the fuck up Cole and keep killing!" a blonde man with blue goggles retorted as he fired next to his comrade at targets on the bridge. The locust were pushing forward, bullets flying in a hailstorm as the two sides waged untold carnage amongst each other.

"We can all discuss the kid's talent with women later, now…lets pour it on!" The older man with the facial scar yelled harshly as the soldiers kept firing. His words spurred on a torrent of increased fire as the Jupiter Tank crushed an abandoned car. Firing its main cannon again at a Corpser across the river, it blew away part of its monstrous face as aircraft battled Reavers in the sky.

"Uh…" Everybody looked at Evergreen as one, the brunette blushing like crazyat what these people were saying.

"I…Uh…I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT!" "That jackass! I only looked at him once! Maybe twice…no five times! God! What would've happened if he stayed longer!?"

"Evergreen? Is there something you want to tell us?" Laxus teased as the mentioned girl shook her head rapidly side to side, her cheeks crimson.

"That aside…look at them fight…" Bisca said softly as her double killed another trio of drones despite the echoing thunder of war, artillery and screams. It was a strange sensation…standing in the middle of a horrible battlefield and watching the projections of people and monsters moving around and through them…this machine was impressive.

"It's so…awful…" Mira whispered as the guild continued to watch the war against horrible monsters unfolding in another universe. If she looked, Natsu was watching his twin fight…a serious look on his face before glancing at the lacrima in his hand.

"I have to get stronger…" he whispered as the battle in Crocus raged…

Okay! That's a wrap! I'd like to thank Unknown Legion for letting me use "Alternate View's of Earthland' for this and I hope he enjoys it as much as I enjoyed writing it! Now…I don't expect many reviews from this. I earlier stated that this is chapter 39.5, so 40 will take place five minutes after that tower collapsed and Natsu, Bisca, and Happy portalled away…probably will center on Sam and others. And I really hope I did Observer justice U.L. But you know him better. I tried my best. But I hope you all enjoy and I will be taking a few days off for thanksgiving and Fallout 76, I'm on the Xbox so if you wanna game with me, I'm open to it…just don't be obnoxious and dig for future story content haha. Just message me on here if your interested since I want to have fun traveling the roads so come and join me! Anyway, read, review and I'll see you next time! OH! And with the war in 137-C, the next multiverse chapter will center on 200-AB or 132-F (Natsumi's universe) So if you have suggestions, drop a line. Also…HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

Mulan: Oh man…I wish the author wrote that whole lemon out…would've been sexy

Dragneel: Your turning into Juvia

Mulan: Hey! At least some of those girls will know what your packing now! I just feel sorry for Bisca…marrying that weakling…ass face

Alzack: IT'S ALZACK! AND WHAT DID YOU DO TO BISCA!

This is thehappy signing off!
