A few days passed after Gildarts' return to Fairy Tail. It was just a normal day for the guild as the sun was shining and the birds were flying, but a storm is soon coming.
The guild members were doing their usual things which is drinking, chatting, laughing, eating, and fighting.
"faster~! Faster~!" squealed Haruka and Haruo as they ride on Gray's back, the ice mage giving them a piggyback ride.
"man, these two are getting heavy!" said Gray as he runs around with them on his back.
"good luck, Gray-sama!" cheered Juvia with hearts for her eyes.
"he's going to backache tomorrow" said Mira while passing by, the Majin having a laughing grin while Kiara who is riding on her head squealed.
Meanwhile on the second floor, Gajeel looks down as he looks annoyed.
"Salamander has the fox, and the little girl has that cat!" thought Gajeel with an annoyed face. "why don't I have a partner!?"
at the Sakura Cave, Natsu is with Ikaruga and Kiara. The Small Pop Fox curled up in a ball while resting on a Sakura tree's trunk branch while the two pink-haired people are sitting below.
"if we ever get the chance to have another….would we have a happy family?" asked Natsu to Ikaruga as both lean closes to each other.
"fate can be one's enemy, but it is always one's friend" replied Ikaruga with a smile as Natsu smiled a bit in hearing her response.
The clouds started to darken before the rain started pouring down the town
Wendy and Charla were walking in the streets with their umbrellas as they were on their way back to the guild from the Fairy Hills Dorm
"the rain is really harsh in this town" Charla said as she holds her cat-sized umbrella
"the forecast didn't even say anything about rain" Wendy said as the rainwater was dropping hard
As they keep walking towards the guild, they see a figure walking under the rain
"who is that?" Charla said as Wendy just watched the figure as the man was Mystogan
"Wendy…" Mystogan called out to Wendy who seemed surprised
"that voice…" Wendy muttered out as her umbrella drops to the raining street when Mystogan revealed his identity
"Jellal?!" Wendy exclaimed in surprise
"why are you here?!" Charla looks in surprise
"I am not that Jellal you two met at Cait Shelter" Mystogan told the two
"you're kidding!" Charla exclaimed "no matter what you say you are him!"
"I am Mystogan of Fairy Tail" Mystogan told them "seven years ago I didn't know much of this world, so I used the name Jellal"
"seven years ago…" Wendy muttered out
"this world?" Charla looks sceptical to Mystogan as Wendy took a step forward to Mystogan
"then…y-you're…" Wendy muttered out as her tears suddenly pours down "you're Jellal who I met seven years ago…"
Wendy's tears fused with the pouring rain on her face as they keep pouring down
"i-I wanted to meet you so badly!" Wendy cried out
"I'm sorry.." Mystogan apologized to her "for never coming back to you"
Wendy keeps crying as she wiped away her tears
"but we don't have any time to enjoy our reunion…" Mystogan spoke out
"eh?" Wendy looks in confusion
"what do you mean?" asked Charla
"you have to get out of this town! Right now!" Mystogan exclaimed before he suddenly fell to his knees
"Jellal!" Wendy went to him
"I've failed my duty…the anima has become too big for me to suppress it myself!" Mystogan said as a vortex started to swirl in the sky above "and it will soon wipe out Magnolia off the map!"
"what do you mean? I don't understand!" Wendy said before the vortex in the sky widen up
"it's too late! Wendy you have to run!" Mystogan exclaimed as a giant hurricane engulfed Magnolia
"what's happening?!" Wendy exclaimed as she shielded her eyes
The building and everything were slowly getting sucked away as they all disappeared into the hurricane leaving nothing left and the only one left was Wendy herself
"what happened?" Wendy looks around and saw that she was the only one left
"Mystogan!? Charla!? Anyone?!" Wendy called out to them as she looks around for them "anybody!?"
Wendy runs around the whole place, trying to find anyone but came out with nothing as she reached to the location where Fairy Tail was once was but the only thing that is left is nothing
"everything is gone except me" Wendy cried in tears as she was all alone "why am I the only one here? Why?!"
"don't scream. I'm right here, Wendy" Charla's voice spoke out as Wendy turns and sees the white feline floating nearby
"Charla! You're alright!" Wendy sighed in relief to see her best friend
"you could say that" replied Charla.
"seems that you're only here because you're a Dragon Slayer, Wendy" said Charla while crossing her arms.
"because I'm a Dragon Slayer?" said Wendy as Charla nodded
"Dragon Slayers have unique magic power." Charla said "you didn't get sucked by the Anima, but I can't say the same for the others"
"Anima?" Weny repeated
"the hole in the sky…that is the gateway to the other world, Edolas" replied Charla.
"the gateway" muttered Wendy before something came crashing nearby and surprised the two.
Wendy and Charla turns and sees Natsu standing up from the pile of white dust, the man having an angered and pissed look.
"Natsu-san?" said Wendy with a surprised look.
"I heard it all" said Natsu as he placed a hand on Chitetsu's handle. "Edolas took Ikaruga and the others? I'll make them pay"
"he's a Dragon Slayer too" said Charla, remembering that Natsu is a Fire Dragon Slayer which means that Anima didn't suck him too.
"you know so much about Edolas" said Natsu before he looks at Charla. "why?"
Charla crossed her hands as she looks down "that's because I'm from Edolas"
"wh-what does that mean?" said Wendy.
"The reason the town disappeared…." Charla looks away as she looks in guilt "is because of me, An Exceed"
Wendy looks in surprise to Charla as the flying feline continued her explanation
"Edolas is another world" Charla spoke out "a world that is losing its magic"
"losing its magic?" asked Wendy
"Edolas is the mirror version of Earthland but their magic is limited unlike ours" Charla told her "the ruler of Edolas tried to solve the reduction of magic by sucking away the magic from another world, this world. it's called the Ultra Subspace magic, Anima. That was the hole in the sky that had made everything disappear"
"so this Anima thing is what the ruler had used to take away the guild and the town, huh?" Natsu said as he rubs his chin "it must be because the guild has many powerful wizards in it"
"just because of that, they take away the whole town?!" Wendy exclaimed as Charla nodded
"wouldn't we do the same if Earthland got the same situation?" Charla asked
Natsu crossed his arms before he looks up to the sky
"I can sense some remnants of magic in the sky, that Anima portal must still be opened" said Natsu before looking at Wendy and Charla. "let's go and get them back"
"what do you think, Charla?" Wendy asked the feline
"I'll go" Charla replied "but I would be going against my duty after all. So let's just go"
Natsu grabs Chitetsu and draws the sword out before swinging the weapon upwards, sending an air slash right to the dark clouds above. A few minutes pass, and a large rift appeared above the sky.
"go" said Natsu as he sheathed Chitetsu away. "I'll be right behind you"
Wendy and Charla nodded before the two were flying in the sky as Natsu is behind, the man rockets his flames on his feet as boosters.
"Chitetsu, in a world without magic, can you still speak?" said Natsu to the cursed katana.
"if I were a magic sword, then no" replied Chitetsu before Natsu and the others went into the portal and disappeared from Earthland.
A portal appeared in a different land as Natsu, Wendy and Charla arrived at Edolas as everything about the world was different than that of Earthland.
"so this is Edolas" Charla said as she returned to her home world
"amazing" Wendy said as she admired the new world
Natsu looks at the area before he felt the flames on his foot dying out and also Charla's wings that disappeared.
"kyaaaa!" the two screamed as they fell right to a floating island. Natsu falls too but the man positioned himself before he dives straight for the two.
Wendy and Charla screamed before Natsu grabs them and the man soon slides his legs down, dragging the dirt of the nearby ground before he came to a braking halt while causing a long dragline.
"t-thank you…..Natsu-san" muttered Wendy while having a relieved face.
"our magic instantly stopped when we got here" added Charla before looking up in the air as a pair of flying reptilian creatures came flying above them. "Edolas is drying magic too fast"
"it's true…" Wendy said as she tried to use some of her wind magic but it didn't work "..I get this weird feeling about it"
"Chitetsu" said Natsu as he draws out the katana from its scabbard.
"seems like this world has not many amounts of Ethernano, only Anti Ethernano particles" spoke out Chitetsu as his Demonic Skeletal Shadow appeared on the katana's blade.
"w-wait a minute! How are you still able to talk!?" exclaimed Charla while pointing at Chitetsu.
"I'm a cursed sword, I don't indulge in Ethernano Particles, only blood, and Anti Ethernano" replied Chitetsu.
"what does that mean?" said Wendy.
"we can talk about that later" said Natsu as he sheathed Katana before pointing forward. Wendy and Charla followed to where he is pointing as they see a warehouse of some sort nearby.
"a warehouse?" said Wendy
"just good timing, we can find some disguises in here," said Charla.
Everyone went to the warehouse as Natsu lead first, the man going to the front door as it is locked with chains, but it was soon cut apart by Chitetsu's blade.
Natsu went in first to check on the warehouse's possible occupant and sees no one. He sheathed Chitetsu before he motioned Wendy and Charla to come in.
"get changed, I'll keep an eye out" said Natsu as the two nodded before he heads out.
Closing the door, Natsu looks around as he sees that the warehouse is placed at a forest. He looks around before his eyes spotted a green colored building nearby.
"that.." muttered Natsu before he sees the door opening as Wendy with Charla came out while wearing new clothes as disguises.
"we're finished, Natsu-san" said Wendy while adjusting her skirt.
"good, be on the lookout. I see a building nearby and there might be people there" said Natsu as he pointed to where the building is at.
A few minutes later, Natsu and the others started walking to the green building after the man getting his disguise. But upon seeing the building closer, they see it have the Fairy Tail Symbol.
"Fairy Tail!?" Wendy and Natsu exclaimed while Charla looked surprise
"why is the guild here?" Wendy asked "and in some weird shape"
"let's check it out" Natsu said as they walked to the tree-like building and entered it. What they see is that every one of Fairy Tail mages was in it the only difference is that everyone's personality is the different or rather polar opposite
"what is going on here?" Wendy asked in confusion
Natsu looks around and saw that everyone in Fairy Tail were different here
"looks like Edolas's inhabitants are like our world's but they all have the exact opposite personality" Natsu said as Gray wasn't a stripper, Elfman was a crybaby, Jet and Droy keeps boasting about how they were strong and many more.
"hey you three!" a voice called out to Natsu and the others as they turn to see Lucy or rather Edo Lucy who looks like a gangster girl
"who the hell you think you are? Sneaking around here" Edo Lucy said while sporting a grunt like a stare at Natsu and the two
"Lucy-san?" Wendy muttered out in confusion as everyone's attention was to Natsu, Wendy, and Charla
"no…she's not the Lucy that we know!" said Charla to Wendy.
Edo Lucy looks closer at Natsu as she keened her eyes before they widen and tears started to well up.
"what?" said Natsu before he got pulled into a hug by the Edo Lucy.
"you…you came back, Natsu!" said Edo Lucy in tears. "we…we thought you…damnit! Why didn't you come back sooner!?"
"Natsu's back?!" "he's back!" "he's alive!" "thank god!" "you survived against Knightwalker!?" said the nearby guild members as they started to crowd up Natsu.
"just what is?" said Charla in confusion.
"why are they acting like this?" said Wendy with a confused look.
Before any event could happen again, Edo Max came running into the guild with a frantic scared look.
"FAIRY HUNTER IS COMING!" he screamed as this made the atmosphere in the guild turned grim and everyone panicked.
"just what is going on here?" said Natsu with an annoyed look.
That's a wrap!
Bye bye
