At Extalia, in a house far from the kingdom itself. In the home, Chara is asleep on a bed as she is slowly waking up
"where am i?" Charla muttered out as she sat up on the bed
"are you feeling alright?" said a voice as Charla looks to the side and sees an older Blue Exceed walking into the room with some clothes in her hands
"where am i? who are you?" Asked Charla
"my name is Marl, and this is my home" the elder cat replied with a smile as she gives the clothes to Charla "here, wear this on"
After a few minutes, Charla and Marl went downstairs and went outside to see a field being worked out by two other cats
"kaaah! It's all about guts!" an older white cat shouted out as he started using a shovel on the ground
"Aye sir!" a younger blue cat who looks like Marl, exclaimed as it copied the white cat's action
"that's my husband, Lucky and the little blue of joy is our son, Happy" Said Marl with a smile
"Kaaah! Guts and guts!" Lucky shouted out
"Aye aye sir!" Happy shouted out in agreement
"Lucky! Happy! It's time for Lunch!" Marl called out to the two as they stopped working on the field
"Kaaah! It's about time!" Lucky shouted out
"Aye Sir! Lunch!" Said Happy in agreement
They all entered the dining room as Marl and Happy served up some meal for everyone
"kaaah! Eat up eat up!" Lucky shouted out as he takes a bite out of a fish
"aye sir!" Happy joined in as he eats a bite out of a fish as well
"thank you…" Charla muttered out
"my husband and the kingdom didn't see eye to eye, so we were chased out long ago and that's why we live here" Said Marl
"Kaaah! Don't go blabbering about the past!" Lucky shouted out
"yes, yes" Marl replied with a smile to her husband
"then why did you help me?" Asked Charla
"kaaah, like I care for some Fallen being chased out by the imperial guards" Lucky said with a leer
"me and my pa, hates the imperial guards," Said Happy "that's why we welcome anyone who doesn't like the kingdom"
"Kaaah! You stupid son of mine! What are you blabbering about to her?!" Lucky shouted at Happy
"Aye! Sorry!" Happy cried out in fear
After eating the meal, Lucky and Happy went out to the field and started working again as they were chopping logs together
"kah!" "aye sir!" "kah!" "aye sir!" "kah!" "aye sir!"
The two shouted out as they chopped logs after logs
"so, your name is Charla, what a wonderful name" Said Marl with a smile "who gave you that name?'
"a friend" Charla replied all gloomy
"why the gloomy face?" Marl asked
"it was my fault…I lead my friends to a trap….it was my fault that it all happened in the first place" Said Charla in sadness "you must be thinking that my actions are right, huh?"
"no, I think that doing such thing is a no no" Marl told her before looking to the field where her husband and son were working at. "may you be a human or an Exceed, it doesn't matter as a friend. even if you are different in the outside, the shape of the heart is all the same as their love for each other"
"shape of heart?" Said Charla
"yes, everyone's heart is filled with love and have the same shape" Said Marl
"but my heart was controlled by somebody other than me, it makes me wonder if my words are from my heart or not" Said Charla
"you may seem troubled but you will soon find you heart" Said Marl to her "what you need to realize now is that you must believe in the power of love"
Charla smiled a bit to Marl words "you're an odd one, Marl-san"
"am i?" Marl smiled to her as she looks to her husband and son "I used to think that we Exceeds are a supreme race like gods and angels but I soon realized that we are just who we are"
"in the past, me and my husband almost lost our son when he was still in his egg, it made me realize that I'm just a parent and it doesn't matter if your friend is a human or an exceed"
"my husband may look ferocious but deep inside he's just as soft as a marshmallow" Marl laughed a bit before Lucky came in
"kaaah! Did I not tell you to stop telling the past stories?! And how long do you intend to stay here? Kaaah!" Lucky shouted out
"oh dear" Said Marl
"kaah! Happy! Help this girl spread her wings and find her friends!" Lucky shouted to his son
"aye sir!" Happy complied
"but my magic.." Charla muttered out
"it will be alright! Just feel happy and fly!" Said Happy as he holds Charla's hand "being happy can make you fly!"
"kaaaah! Quit being nilly willy and get on with it!" Lucky shouted out as Happy and Charla ran towards a nearby cliff
"I'll be going now!" Happy told his parent while waving a paw up.
"kaaah! Be back home before dawn or I'll kick you out!" Lucky shouted
"be safe, you two!" Said Marl as Happy and Charla stands in front of the cliff and jumped off
"now feel happy and spread your wings!" Said Happy as his wings appeared on his back
Charla look in doubt a bit before looking to Happy who smiled so joyfully
"be happy…and" a pink glow appeared on Charla's back as her wings spread out "Fly!"
"you did it!" Said Happy with a smile as the two started flying towards the capital of Edolas
"I get it now, I am an exceed, a race who has magic within them, I thought my magic was gone, but it was just the doubt in my heart! Now I'm going to save Wendy and the others!"
The two then started to fly towards the capital as they head towards the castle
in the castle of the King's Living quarters. Natsu sat on the side of the large bed, top naked while Edo Ikaruga laid on the bed, still sleeping with only the blanket covering herself.
Natsu holds his face with both of his hands as he just had sex with Edo Ikaruga who he knows isn't his real wife but she is exactly like her and it got him to not be able to fight back.
"what have I done…" muttered Natsu as he had just slept with someone who is his wife and not his wife at the same time, his mind breaking apart just doing something so sinned. "..why did i.."
Natsu looks at his hands as they are trembling and shaking nonstop. Natsu gritted his teeth as he clenched his hands into hard fists. Feeling a shift on the bed, Natsu snaps out of his thought and glance behind as Edo Ikaruga got behind him and leans close to his broad back while resting her head on his right shoulder.
"I missed your warmth…..your amazing warmth…" whispered Edo Ikaruga as her hands circles around Natsu's waist and holds him close. "no one has such a kind warmth…..like your own"
"Ikaruga…" muttered Natsu as no matter how much he wants to deny the fact that Edo Ikaruga is like earthland Ikaruga too much that his mind and eyes plays trick on who is now who.
"stay with me….don't leave me again…stay here and be with me again…." Whispered Ikaruga while holding Natsu close.
"i….i…" muttered Natsu as his mind went to his friends and family who are turned into the giant lacrima crystal. "I'm sorry….but I'm not the man that you love, Ikaruga…"
Edo Ikaruga's eyes slowly widens as she glanced at Natsu who frowns to her before looking away.
"what?" asked Ikaruga while slowly leaning away from the man's back.
"I'm the Earthland version of this world's Natsu. I'm not the same person" said Natsu as he stands up from the bed. "I'm sorry….but I have to leave"
Natsu started walking around the bed before Edo Ikaruga holds his left hand and holds it tight.
"no…please…don't leave.." said Edo Ikaruga with tears pouring up in her eyes. "I don't care if you are not the man who I love in this world….you are Natsu, are you not?...you are the man who I love…"
"I'm…" muttered Natsu while frowning and looking down to the floor. "I'm not….your Natsu….i have..my world's Ikaruga….with our own children….i….have to go and save them…"
"no…please" said Edo Ikaruga as her tears pours down her cheeks. "please don't leave me….i can't bear losing another…."
Edo Ikaruga got off the bed, bare naked as the blanket stayed on the bed. The woman hugs Natsu as her hands holds him tight.
"stay with me…please…..our world will have eternal magic…..this world will be the same as your own…..we will have eternal magic…you can live here with me…" whispered Edo Ikaruga to Natsu. "stay with me….and be the king of Edolas…"
"i…can't.." muttered Natsu as he holds Edo Ikaruga's hands to pry them off from holding him but the pink haired woman holds him close before taking his lips in a deep kiss. Natsu wanted to push her away but he couldn't because of her being Ikaruga and the same time as not.
Natsu's hands slowly reached for Edo Ikaruga's shoulder to push her away but they stopped before going down to her waist and holds her closer.
The two leans close in their deep kiss before they separate for air after 5 minutes.
"be my king….be the king of Edolas for me…" said Edo Ikaruga to Natsu as her words are somehow echoing in the man's mind almost continuously that it keeps ringing out. "…stay here with me…"
"be…..the king….of….Edolas….." muttered Natsu as his eyes slowly darkens and became lifeless.
Edo Ikaruga's lips formed a smile as she pulls Natsu into another kiss and to the bed, both going in to have each other once more, while near the bed is an incense burner that has pink smoke flowing in the air of the room.
within the castle's dungeon, Lucy is left in a cell as the guards had taken away Wendy. The blonde tried to stop them but they pushed her back and prevent her from ever leaving the cell.
"Charla is a part of a clan called Exceed, their kingdom is called Extalia and their queen is Chagot who is revered as god. The control everything in the world, just one word from the queen can enact an execution on site" said Lucy as she looks down to her lap and her hands that are covered in some sort of gels cuffs that are preventing her use of magic. "what a stupid rule! Why does it even exist?!"
Soon Knightwalker appeared in front of Lucy's cell
"ho? You have certainly done your research on our world" Said Knightwalker with an amused smile as she opened the cell door
"Erza!?" Lucy exclaimed as she wiggles herself towards her "where is everyone!? Are they alright?!"
"all is well" Knightwalker told her
"I see. That's a relief" Said Lucy with a small relieved smile.
"you seemed quite relaxed even in your situation" Said Knightwalker to her
"well, you look like my world's Erza that I let my guard down a bit" Said Lucy
"the me on earthland?" Said Knightwalker
"yeah, you are a part of Fairy Tail" Lucy told Knightwalker everything about the Earthland's Erza "you and Mira-san likes to fight against one another, Natsu always stop you two fight. You are strng, cool, and a little scary but everyone relied on you, and.."
Before Lucy could continue, Knightwalker grabbed Lucy's hair and she started dragging her out of her cell
"owww!" Lucy screamed out
"although the earth land me share the same traits as I am, but you forgot, I am not that Erza" Said Knightwalker with a stoic look.
"b-but I get the feeling that deep down, you're not someone who can laugh at other people's suffering!" exclaimed Lucy before Knightwalker throws her to a wall. "ow!"
"please…..i just want…to help my friends!" Said Lucy out as Knightwalker use her spear to hang Lucy's cuffs and the blonde girl herself near a long drop down the castle's garden.
"you will die here" said Knightwalker
"Erza would never do anything like this!" Lucy screamed out "Erza's a good person! She would never do such a thing!"
"but I'm not that Erza. I for one enjoy seeing the despairing looks of others, that's why they call me the Fairy Killer, as the name implies, I can't remember how many Fairy Tail wizards have I killed!" Said Knightwalker with a dark smirk "die, Lucy"
Knightwalker pushes her spear forward as Lucy falls towards the ground.
But before she could fall, Charla and Happy came to the rescue.
"Charla! And a blue Exceed?" Said Lucy as she had no idea on who is the blue feline
"hi! I'm Happy!" Happy introduced himself to her.
"i-I'm Lucy" Lucy introduced herself to the blue furred feline
"Exceed…" Knightwalker looks at the two Exceeds "why did you save that woman?! By the order of the queen, she is to be executed!"
"that order has been rescinded" Charla told the knight
"b-but even an Exceed doesn't have the rights to overturn the verdict directly from the Queen" Said Knightwalker to her "hand that woman over!"
"know your place, human" Said Charla as her wings spread more and the sun shines upon her " who do you think you are speaking to? I am Princess Charla. Queen Chagot's daughter!"
This shocked everyone as Knightwalker kneeled down
"yes! Please forgive my impudence!" Knightwalker shouted out
"wha…." Lucy and Said Happy
"where are the two Dragon Slayers?" Charla commanded
"i-in the dungeon of the West Tower" Knightwalker replied
"release them immediately," Said Charla to her
"that is not within my authority" Knightwalker didn't complied
"don't argue! Just do it!" Said Charla before Pantherlily and some soldiers came charging in "Erza!"
"Panther Lily…."
"who is he?! One of you?!" Lucy exclaimed
"aye! Never have I saw one tough looking Exceed before!" Happy exclaimed
"they are Fallen Exceed! They have been chased out of Extalia!" Panther Lily exclaimed out
"wha?!" Knightwalker exclaimed
"they caught on!" Charla exclaimed before they took off flying away "make a run for it!"
"after them!" Panther Lily ordered out to the soldiers as they went after the group
Knightwalker punched the ground as she gritted her teeth hard
"those bastards made a fool out of me!" she glared with fury
Lucy and the others were in the middle of escaping as they soar in the sky
"so, Charla is a princess" Said Lucy amazed
"aye, I never knew either!" Said Happy
"it's just a bluff" Said Charla
"really?" Happy and Said Lucy before they saw a swarm of Exceeds coming towards them
"there they are, meeeen!" Nichiya shouted out as the flying Extalia guards came after them
"Ichiya!?" Lucy exclaimed
"this is bad! There are enemies on the ground and in the sky!" Charla exclaimed "we're surrounded!"
Coco ran into the castle's hallway as she is running to the King's living quarters to get the King.
"your majesty! it looks like Extalia Royal Guards is chasing the Fallen, your majesty!" exclaimed Coco while running as fast as she could.
Just as Coco is about to reach to the King's living quarters, the masked King appeared out of the room in his royal attire.
"your majesty!" exclaimed Coco before doing a bow to him. "Extalia royal guards are chasing the fallen, your majesty!"
"I can see that" said the masked King while looking at the flock of flying Exceeds through a window. "it is time for Code ETD"
Coco looks in shock as she gasped at what the king had spoken out
the sound of horns rang as a banner with a symbol on it was raised up
"Code ETD!?" exclaimed Knigthwalker
"AT A TIME LIKE THIS?!" Hughes exclaimed with wide eyes
"what's up with all that noise?!" exclaimed Lucy while hearing the ringing horns.
"we need to get indoor! Quick!" Charla exclaimed
"the Ultimate territorial defence plan…" Sugar boy said as the soldiers started to shine light in the sky
"ACTIVATE! CODE ETD!" shouted a soldier as other soldiers shine a beam of light at the flock of Extalia royal guards catching them all in a giant barrier with all the Exceed guards in it.
"what is this?!" Nichiya shouted out "what's the meaning of this, humans!?"
"what's going on here?!" Happy exclaimed
"is this a rebellion against the Exceed?!" Said Lucy
"we worry about it later! Right now let's help Wendy!" Said Charla as the two went flying into the castle
"after them! They are heading to the west tower cell! Call for backup!" Knightwalker shouted out as a group of guards came chasing after them
The barrier in the sky suddenly exploded before Nichiya and the Exceed guards all turned into a cat shaped giant lacrima and fell to the ground
"the Exceed turned into a lacrima…" "no way" "w-we actually did it" "a-are we going to be alright?"
All the soldiers started to whisper to each other on what they have just done as this would sure enrage the Exceed queen
"there are no gods in this world!" shouted the masked King who appeared above a balcony while Coco stands behind him. "we humans suffered under limited magic while the Exceed boasts of their Unlimited magic! so why? Why cannot we such close neighbors gain such limitless power?! the age of us humans living under their thumb is over! This is for Humanity's future! The future of unlimited magic! "I say to you, my warriors! Let us stand up together! COMMENCE CODE ETD: EXCEED TOTAL DESTRUCTION! ELIMINATE ALL THE ANGELS!"
All the soldiers cheered to their king as the Exceed extermination plan was in motion.
"this is getting to be a big deal, huh?" said Hughes with a smile.
"mmm, I guess it was inevitable" added Sugar Boy.
"so this is what the military build up was all about…" Panther lily said as he gritted his teeth.
The masked King raises his right arm up as to reveal Chitetsu sheathed in his scabbard while stored on the king's waist.
While the army of Edolas soldier cheered for the masked King, we turn our attention in the King's living quarters where Edo Ikaruga laid on the bed, her long pink hair covering her chest and lower region.
Ikaruga had her right hand over her eyes as the pink haired woman hears the cheers from outside.
"yes….you are the king…..the king of Edolas…" muttered Edo Ikaruga before her lips formed a smile as she let out a few chuckles that soon turned into a laugh.
That's a wrap!
Bye bye
