In the town of Louen, Natsu with Wendy and Charla are walking down the street as they pass by the citizens of the town.
"I don't see anyone using magic" said Wendy in a whisper as she sees many people just doing their daily activities that does not use magic in any slightest way.
"seems to me that guilds aren't the only thing that gets taken away" said Charla as she eyed one store that has been banned from using or selling magic in anyway.
"sounds like what the Edolas Lucy talk about is true, huh?" said Natsu as the man glance around the area at nearby alleys where he finds people in poverty. "the king isn't doing so well in helping his own people and is just taking away magic for himself"
The three keeps on walking before they stopped by a café where they just sit down and have cups of water.
"we need to find a way to get to where our friends are" said Wendy with a frown. "if what we heard is true…our friends who are turned into a lacrima will be…"
"there's still hope, Wendy" said Charla to her. "I heard that they would initiate the plan when the time is right, and not now. We still have a chance to save everyone in Magnolia"
"she's right" added Natsu before placing a hand to Wendy's shoulder. "don't give up hope yet"
Wendy slowly smiled and nodded before the three heard some commotion nearby as they turn and sees a group of Edolas Soldiers around the area.
"put on your disguises" said Natsu while placing a hand to Chitetsu's handle. "I'll handle them quickly"
"wait!" whispered Charla. "remember what Edolas Lucy said?! if you take out the soldiers, more and more will come!"
"better they come then we get caught by these ones" said Natsu as he slowly draws out Chitetsu from his scabbard. "I need to get Chitetsu more blood if we can have the speed to get to the capital"
"you can't just kill them!" said Wendy, not wanting to see Natsu take someone's live just to their blood for Chitetsu, like how Natsu killed the group of Edolas large frogs which horrified her and Charla.
Natsu clicked his tongue and sheathed Chitetsu away as he sees the group of Royal Guards walking to a different part of the street.
"thank goodness" said Wendy while sighing in relief before a hand is placed on her shoulder making her squeak. Everyone turns and sees Edolas Lucy appearing behind Wendy.
"come with me if you want a faster way to the capital," said Edolas Lucy.
Edolas Lucy brought Natsu, Wendy, and Charla to some sort of black market in a basement as she is looking through magic items that were on sale.
"some sort of illegal magic shop?" said Natsu, checking out some of the items that were on sale.
"yeah, what you think?" said Edo Lucy as she holds up a dagger before placing it back and continued looking around. "not having magic in this world can be a suicidal choice of living, you know"
"just how scarce is the magic in Edolas now?" asked Wendy as Edo Lucy holds a pink baton before glancing at the little girl.
"so scarce that it is running low and out very soon" replied Edo Lucy as she placed the pink baton back and frowns a bit. "Edolas will soon be a world without magic"
"is it very hard to live without magic?" asked Natsu while holding a magic sword that he swung around before placing back into a barrel.
"huh? What kind of a question is that?! Magic is an important thing in life!" said Edo Lucy at Natsu who glanced at her before sighing and looks away.
"what important in life is your own will to live," said Natsu as he picks up some sort of magic ring on sale that reminds him of the ring, he gave to Ikaruga in the past. "and how you live with those you love"
Edo Lucy looks at Natsu before she looks away and grabs a light blue canister that she threw to Wendy who caught it.
"you….you aren't like this world's Natsu at all" said Edo Lucy as Natsu glanced at her and could see some tears building up near her eyes.
The four heads out as they head down the road but got spotted by several Edolas Soldiers.
"there they are! It's the Fairy Tail wizards!" The soldiers readied their magic spears as Wendy and the others got surrounded
"they found us already?!" Exclaimed Charla
"this is bad! There are just too many of them!" Exclaimed Edo Lucy as Natsu reach a hand to Chitetsu's handle and was about to wield the katana into battle when he saw Wendy fumbling around with the magic tool that they just got.
"how do I use this thing!?" Wendy started to spin around her magic canister as she had no idea on how to use it
As she fumbles around with the item, it split open and a burst of wind blew her, Charla and Edo Lucy away
"aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"
"what did you just do?!" Edo Lucy screamed out
"I'm sorry!" Wendy cried out
"what the hell was she thinking?" said Natsu as he draws Chitetsu out and swung the katana to the ground, causing a dust explosion from the force of the wind.
The soldiers backed away as Natsu jumps away and went to where Wendy and the others crashed to.
At another part of the town, the soldiers came running by as they are after Natsu and the others.
The soldiers run around before an eye peeks out from a hole near an old shack where Edo Lucy and the others were hiding in.
"we managed to survive that, but we'll never get out of town like this" Said Edo Lucy as they keep quiet and tried to think of a plan to escape
"over there! It's Fairy Tail!" The soldiers started running in a direction as Wendy and the others peeked out the door and saw Lucy getting caught by the soldiers
"Lucy-san?!" "Me?!"
"hey let me go!" Lucy shouted at the soldier
"surrender or else!"
"what is going on here?" Said Charla in surprise "why is Lucy there?"
Lucy struggled a bit more before having enough "that hurts!"
She pulled out one of her keys as it glowed
"Open the gate of the Scorpion!"
"Lucy-san wait! You can't use magic here!" Wendy screamed out before Scorpio appeared
"we are!" the Scorpion spirit implied before pointing his tail at the soldiers
"Sand Buster!"
A hurricane of sand blew the soldiers away as this surprised Wendy and the others
"did she just!?" Exclaimed Edo Lucy
"magic?!" Wendy exclaimed
As the soldiers were blown away by the sandstorm while Natsu and the others went to Lucy
"Lucy-san!" Wendy called out to the blonde mage
"Natsu! Wendy! Charla!" Lucy exclaimed before seeing Edo Lucy
"ME?!" Lucy screamed before seeing more soldiers came charging in
"we can explain later! Right now we need to get those soldiers off our tails!" Exclaimed Charla as Lucy nodded and summoned Aries
"please! Aries!" Lucy commanded
"yes! Wool Bomb!" A blast of pink wooly cloud blasted at the soldiers, although they find it very comforting and soft
"let's get out of here!" Said Edo Lucy as everyone escaped out of the town
The team were now at the forest as they wanted an explanation on how Lucy was here and on how was she able to use magic
"Horologium came and rescued me when Anima sucked everything away" Lucy explained her story "he said that there's an anomaly in the Spatial magic and he came to rescue me. "after that, I met Mystogan who sent me here"
"Mystogan?!" Said Charla surprised
"then what about how were you able to use magic, Lucy-san?" Wendy asked the blonde mage who think of an answer,
"maybe i'm some chosen legendary hero!" Lucy dreamed off
"like that would happen here" Said Charla with a sweat drop
"to tell the truth, I don't really know I am able to use magic" said Lucy while rubbing her chin
"so, this is your Earth-land magic, huh?" Said Edo Lucy while sitting crossed leg on a stump
"in a way" Said Charla
"is that this world's me?" Lucy said as Edo Lucy is the complete opposite of her
"afraid so" replied Natsu before he turns around and could hear
"are you guys seriously going to go against the kingdom?" Edo Lucy asked
"of course! To save our friends!" Said Wendy
"we can't use magic except for Lucy so our chance of winning got increased" Said Charla "by a little though"
"what do you mean by a little?!" exclaimed Lucy.
"what is with these guys? They're just crazy" Edo Lucy thought before they all went to the next town to stay for the night.
The day turned into night as nearly everyone in the town of Shika that is close to Luen.
Natsu, Wendy, Lucy, and Charla were sitting by the couch while Lucy with Edo Lucy were taking a bath together.
"If we go to the next town Shika, we will get closer to the next town, Tria" said Wendy while looking at the map of Edolas, seeing how they were a bit close with the Edolas Kingdom.
"that if is if we can get close to the next town without getting chased by the Edolas Soldier" said Charla, noting how the Edolas kingdom's soldiers are after them.
Natsu sat in silence as he had his arms crossed while in a bit of a thinking pose.
"Natsu-san? You're being rather quiet than usual" said Wendy as Natsu glanced at her before away. "is there something wrong?"
"nothing…" replied Natsu in a low voice before he sighs. "I'm just thinking on how are Ikaruga, and my kids and everyone else who were turned into lacrima are…I just pray that they are alright and safe"
"we know that it's hard to not worry, but have faith that we can pull this through" said Charla before Lucy and Edo Lucy got out of the bathroom together.
"you guys can use the bathroom now if you want" said Lucy while drying her hair, Edo Lucy however just sat down on the bed while looking down.
Natsu glance at her before he sighs rolled his eyes.
"tell me about myself in this world" said Natsu as everyone looks at him, the man looking at Edo Lucy. "why is my Edolas version isn't alive?"
The others turns towards Edo Lucy who frowns a bit before looking down.
"you…..you were the guild's most best mage" said Edo Lucy in a low voice. "you were kind, stupid, strong, always lend a hand, you were like the most kindest person in all of Edolas. You keep on helping others even if it gets you into trouble…"
"what then? What ended this world version of me?" said Natsu as he placed a hand to Chitetsu's handle, the katana leaning against the couch beside him.
"one day…." Said Edo Lucy before gritting her teeth. "the guild was in a safe place before the Fairy Hunter came.."
Tears started to well up in Edo Lucy's eyes as they were pouring down.
Flashback
"hurry! Get in! now!" Edo Lucy screamed out to her guild members as everyone ran into the guild. The blonde mage looks up and sees Knightwalker flying in on the large Legion Beast, with the intention of killing the whole guild. "how can she find out location so fast?!"
Knightwalker aimed her spear at the guild as it fires rains of magic beams at the tree-like building.
"hurry with the transfer!" shouted Edo Lucy to Edo Levy who is working on the control.
"I can't! shit! There's not enough time for the magic Enact Transfer to begin! I need more time!" shouted Edo Levy while pulling down levers and then pushing down buttons.
"hurry it up! She's coming!" screamed Edo Levy before the Edolas version of Natsu came running out of the guild with two magic swords in hand. "Natsu!"
"get into the guild! I'll hold her off while you all transfer away!" shouted Edo Natsu as he spins around and swung the swords that unleash two magic slashes which went flying straight at Knightwalker's Legion, causing an explosion on the large creature's stomach. "go!"
"are you crazy?! You can't win against her! No matter how good or strong you are!" shouted Edo Lucy as she was about to go and run to help him, but Edo Gray, Edo Juvia, and Edo Lisanna holds her back. "let me go! Natsu can't win on his own! We got to help!"
Edo Lucy shouted at her guild members who started to pull her in while Edo Natsu faces Knightwalker who jumped down her Legion and landed in front of him. the two faced off before they dash at one another and clash their weapons against each other's.
"go now!" shouted Edo Natsu while pushing away Knightwalker before he dashes and swung his swords down but the scarlet knight blocked it. "GO!"
"Natsu!" Edo Lucy screamed out as she got pulled into the guild and the doors close before the large tree building sinks into the ground and disappear.
Edo Natsu smiles to see his guild gone before he faces Knightwalker whose spear's tip transforms into a red flaming edge. Edo Natsu swings his swords to the side before both blades of the sword shines red and the man soon runs straight for the scarlet knight while letting out a battle cry
Knightwalker spins her spear around before she swung it right at Edo Natsu's swords as both weapons clash and unleashed a powerful explosion that blew everything away.
Edo Lucy placed a hand to her head as her tears were not stopping.
"just stop….don't fight with the Kingdom….you can't..win" cried Edo Lucy as the flashback of herself and the guild leaving Natsu to die just took too much toll on her mind.
"Edo Lucy-san…" muttered Wendy with a sad frown as she, Lucy, and Charla looks at the broken -down girl who was soon comforted by Natsu.
"you don't need to worry" said Natsu as Edo Lucy looks at the salmon haired man who leans his forehead to her. "i….everyone here won't die….not until our family and everyone in your guild is safe and sound from the threat of the Capital…I will make sure that not one of us die..you can count on it"
Edo Lucy looks at Natsu with teary eyes as the man smiled and his smile looks exactly like the Edolas Natsu.
"god damnit…" muttered Edo Lucy while trying to hold back her tears from pouring down even more.
The next day soon arrived as Lucy is in a bad mood.
"I can't believe this!" exclaimed Lucy while holding a note in hand as it is from Edo Lucy who had left to return to her guild. "she just ditched us! I can't believe she just left us here!"
"she has her own reasons" said Natsu who put on his shirt and grabs his jacket. "just like we have ours"
"but she can't just leave so soon!" exclaimed Lucy as Natsu sighs while placing Chitetsu on his waist strap.
"enough complaining," said Natsu before swinging a bag over his shoulder. "we got our friends to save"
That's a wrap!
Bye bye
