Hey fairy tail fans, and once again, nothing much to report today as things are going smoothly on my end, though I will say I still not telling the joke, by the way(looks around); maybe next time, anyway, let's get on with the story.
Last time on a fairy tail re-told
Natsu: our friends are still trapped in edolas, but we were joined by the edolas versions of Lucy and Lisanna.
Happy: Aye, and we also found our Lucy
Wendy: This is starting to get out of hand
Happy: Aye
Both Lucy's stood in awe of each other "wow," Edo Lucy muttered, "I knew we'd look alike, but meeting her is freaking me out," she muttered; their eyes, hair color, even facial muscles were the same.
"she's the Edolas version of me, isn't she," Lucy asked in shock, "okay, this is weird."
"here we found them," army troops shouted as they appeared, interrupting the group's reunion/ introduction.
"introductions will have to wait," Carla shouted " if we stay here, we're as good as dead," she informed them as they were soon surrounded.
"Alright, Natsu," Lucy shouted, "do what you do best."
"with what exactly," Natsu asked
"with your magic, of course," Lucy told him.
"We haven't been able to use our magic since we got here," he told her, which caused Lucy to let out a scream "wait," Natsu asked, "how come you can still use yours."
"Lucy, you're the only one who can take it, em," Happy said
"you are our only hope, so give them the one for," Carla told her.
"if we get captured, our friends are as good as dead," Wendy told her. "I know you can do it."
"Alright," Lucy muttered, "so this means I'm the strongest member in fairy tail," Lucy shouted with glee.
"quite fantasizing and take them out," Natsu told her.
The Last Fairy
[##Lucy Ganbaru##]
"{open gate of the ram: Aries}," Lucy shouted as Aries appeared "umm, hello, leave everything to me."
"woah," edo Lucy called out, "where the hell did she come from."
"she practically came from then air," a guard shouted.
"think you take these guys, Aries," Lucy asked.
"umm," Aries said. "I'll try," she said, "{wool wall}" Aries flung pieces of wool, trapping the guards in a nice soft wall causing them to fall asleep instantly. "I don't think it's working, Lucy. I'm useless after all."
"oh, it's working all right," Lucy told her, trying to boost her confidence "give em another volley" Aries then shot out some more wool before cutting off the guards with a large wall.
"What kind of magic is this" one shouted
"more, please."
"come on, now's our chance," Lucy shouted. "Aries get back to the celestial world," Lucy told her spirit as they ran off; she vanished again in a cloud of smoke. "I can't believe it," Lucy said, "here I'm so strong."
"This is the power of earth land magic," edo Lucy asked.
"it's incredible," Lisanna muttered.
Later the group had managed to find themselves in a forest; they sat down to catch their breaths and recollect, "while we have this moment, I think we should catch each other up to speed."
"oh yeah," Natsu said, "how'd you even get to edolas Lucy," Natsu asked.
"We thought the king had turned everyone into a giant lacrmia," Wendy asked.
"Horologium and Mystogen saved me," Lucy said
"Mystogen," Carla asked.
"so, he could escape too," Natsu, his mind flashing when he saw Mystogen's true face. "I wonder."
"Yeah," Lucy said, "I would have been a goner if it wasn't for them."
Flashback
back in earth's land, Horologium popped from the ground, letting Lucy go as she fell to the ground "what" she asked, "what happened to magnolia" Lucy asked, "where is everyone."
"I'm afraid I can't say," Horologium told her. "I sensed a ripple in the fragment of time, and the heat of the moment grabbed you," he explained, "however it appears whatever happened took Magnolia with it."
"so, Magnolia's gone," Lucy asked, "what kind of Magic could do that."
"anima," a voice called out. Lucy looked up to see Mystogen without his mask.
"wait, Jellal," Lucy asked.
"there's no time to explain," he told her as he pulled something "take this; we need to save our comrades" he then flung something into Lucy's mouth before she could speak; a light shined over her and shot her. Into the anima.
End flashback
"and the next thing I knew, I was in Edolas," Lucy said, "with no idea where I was going, then I ran into you guys."
"So Mystogen survived as well," Carla said
"oh yeah," Lucy said. "Natsu, did you already know Mystogen had Jellals face."
Natsu shook his head "he always wore a mask, Natsu told her, "Erza and I saw his face when Laxus attacked but never really had time to confront him about it."
"what if he's the edolas version of our Jellal," Happy said "it would explain how he knows so much" Happy then turned to Lucy, "and how does your magic still work here, Lucy."
"I don't know," Lucy said before stars entered her eyes" Maybe I'm a super-strong heroine in this world," Lucy said with glee.
"No," Natsu told her.
[##Charle no Kokuhaku -Music Box Version##]
"can't a girl dream," Lucy cried before looking down. "I wish I had an answer," Lucy said, "if you and Wendy can't access your power," Lucy said, "I don't know how we're going to win."
"and you bone heads still want to face the capital," edo Lucy asked.
"of course," Natsu told her.
"if we don't save our friends, our friends who will," Happy told her.
"yeah," Lucy told her, "we've been hopeless situation after hopeless situation and even starred death in the face," Lucy said, standing up, "but even when against all the odds, Fairy tail has always come out on top," Lucy said "so will face your king, and still win."
"Even without magic," Lisanna asked.
"We would," Lucy told her, "and besides, I still have my whole celestial army on my side," Lucy said, a bright glow surrounding her "leave it to me; I'm all fired up."
"we're totally screwed, aren't we."
"you got this in the bag, Lucy."
"lest just hope for the best."
"Aye, sir."
"These guys are a bunch of wackjobs," edo Lucy muttered.
"yeah, but" Lisanna looked down. It had been too long since she heard that name, "but I think they'll change this world for the better."
"We must be going crazy," edo Lucy muttered, a smile forming on their face.
Later the group had managed to find haven in a hotel Natsu Wendy, Happy, Carla, and Lisanna; were overlooking a map "so wherein the port city of sycca" Carla asked.
"yeah," Lisanna answered.
"We need to get safe passage to get to the royal city," Natsu said, "our friends might as well be worlds away."
"not to mention we'll have to dodge royal guards," Wendy said "it could take us weeks just to get there," Wendy said
"wow, this is crazy," edo Lucy said, coming out of the shower in nothing but a towel "we look more alike than I thought," she said, "We even got the same freckles on our bums."
"I do not have freckles," Lucy came in and shouted, which caused her counterpart to giggle.
"wait, Scary-Lucy," Wendy asked. "Natsu is in the room," Wendy informed her.
"I can see fine half-pint; I just don't care," edo Lucy told her.
"well, you should," Lucy shouted.
"talk about a major act of duplicity," Happy joked, his pun falling on deaf ears.
"tomcat does not talk for the rest of this Journey," Carla shouted.
"Besides, I think he likes what he sees," edo Lucy said, leaning closer to him.
"what," Natsu asked, his brain coming back to the real world, which made both Lucy and Lisanna laugh as edo Lucy fell face first on the floor "sorry, I thought it was Gemini for a sec."
"oh yeah," Wendy said, "that's why it doesn't feel all too weird."
"who," edo Lucy asked.
"a spirit I'm contracted with," Lucy told her "they can take the form of anyone they touch," she explained, "and for some reason, they like to turn into me" Lucy then opened up the gate for Gemini, who came out already looking like Lucy.
"tada," Gemini shouted, "how about a triple dose of cuteness."
"This would make for a fun party game," Natsu smiled as Happy shouted.
"let's play a game of guessing the real Lucy" as each member chose Lucy from their world. For some reason, Natsu decided to pick Gemini, causing all three to hit him on the head.
"This is fun and all," Carla told them, "but when do you plan on clothing yourselves."
"oh crap," Lucy shouted. "I'm still naked."
later everyone had managed to change into pajamas "you know," Natsu said, "it's still kinda hard to tell you apart from each other"
"one of your ghost things wouldn't happen to be good with hair," edo Lucy asked.
"I have the perfect spirit," Lucy said as she summoned Cancer.
"it's been a while, hasn't it, Baby," Cancer asked.
"Are you okay with him calling you baby like that?" edo Lucy asked
"if you have a problem with him, you're going to freak when you meet Taurus," Lucy joked. Cancer then cut down edo Lucy's Hair.
"see there now you can tell us apart, right," edo Lucy asked.
"Yeah, but are you sure you okay with cutting it off," Lucy asked, "it to me months to grow it out."
"I mean, it's just hair, right," edo Lucy asked.
"the do you sport, baby is what represents you," Cancer told her, "it's a part of your personality and tells people who you are."
[##Charle no Kokuhaku##]
"I guess," Lucy said, "I guess it's been a while since I've thought about that stuff, you know, boys, hair," Lucy said, "ever since I joined the wizard remnants."
"wizard remnants," Lucy asked, "Is that what solo wizards are called over here."
"we're a group that formed around three years ago," Lisanna explained "once the order came down, and the kingdom began to hunt down wizards," Lisanna said "are Magnolia was one of the first to go," Lisanna said, tear starting to form in her eyes "we lost so many friends that day, and my big sister Mira and big brother Elfman," Lisanna told her "then Gildarts, phantom lord,"
"it was a purge," edo Lucy said, "the royal army destroyed guilds everywhere."
"I see," Natsu said. "I'm sorry," Natsu told her.
"it's fine," Lisanna said, not looking in the eye "nothing I can do about it now."
"hell, I think when it comes to wizards that used to be in guilds, Juvia is the only one left," edo Lucy said " honestly, we find it easier if we just stick together, helping when we can," edo Lucy told them, "but maybe it isn't enough" edo Lucy said muttering the last part.
"what," Lucy asked
"Nothing, I'm just rambling."
the next morning Natsu found himself on the balcony "you're up early," a voice called out; he turned to find Lisanna behind him, smiling as she approached him, the cool breeze passing over their skin
[##fairy tail theme piano ver. ost##]
"I'm sorry I was dreaming," Natsu told her "needed some fresh air," he said, which made her giggle as she stood next to him; she saw him wipe tears from his eyes "are Mira and Elfman really" he felt his cheeks warm up when she placed her head on his shoulder.
"yeah," Lisanna answered, "are they"
"yeah," Natsu said, "still kicking."
"a twist of fate," Lisanna muttered, "were as close in your world as we were here," Lisanna asked.
"yeah," Natsu told her. "I take it was Erza."
"yeah," Lisanna said, "she's taken everything from me. Feels like it" Lisanna looked at the sky, "a part of me's glad," Lisanna said "at least now I know they're alive in another world," a smile formed on her face "hey, Natsu."
"yeah," he answered
"can you tell me about them," Lisanna asked? "I'd like to know about my sister and brother on earth land."
"Well, for starters, Mira," Natsu said, "before we lost you, she used to be the strongest person I knew," Natsu told her "she still is, don't get me wrong, I think the term for back then was tomboyish if she wanted something she was going to get it, you, Elfman and me seemed to be the only people she held above herself," Natsu said "she loved us more than I think she loved herself at the time" Natsu frowned "then you" Natsu looked away as Lisanna placed a comforting hand on him "she changed she started to show more of her caring side and sorta started to become a mother figure in magnolia, I would never have guessed Mira to have the patience of a saint."
Lisanna laughed at the last part " well, from how she is, she wasn't too different from my Mira. She cared for everyone," Lisanna said, "always looking to help others in special ways" Lisanna smiled as her sister popped into her mind for the first time in years, "and what about Elfman."
"he was the shy type," Natsu told her, "but after you died, he started to get strong" Natsu chuckled as his friend/brother popped in his head "now Mira and I can't seem to get him to shut up about the glories of manhood."
Lisanna laughed at that "right before Elfman here died, he said," Lisanna smiled, "I'll defend my family no matter what, just like a real man."
Natsu smiled, "yep, that sounds like Elfman."
"Natsu," Lisanna whispered.
"yeah"
"thank you," she told him, "I think I understand what you mean by failing again" Lisanna looked him in the eyes as she smiled, "and you didn't fail your Lisanna," she told him. "I don't believe it, and she didn't believe it when she died," she kissed his cheek, "so pick yourself up, okay."
"yeah," Natsu said, "thanks, Lisanna." they sat for a few seconds, the only sound being the wind blowing across their face "it um" Natsu started a blush on his face "it is great to see you again though"
"yeah," Lisanna said, smiling.
"what's wrong," Natsu asked "you have that look on your face," Lisanna said nothing, looking away "you don't want me to go, do you," he asked. The look of shock on her face was all he needed to see before she nodded her head.
"there, this small part of me," Lisanna whispered, "this small part of me that wants to tell you to forget about it, just leave with me," she said "we'll go far away and live in secret," she whispered, "but I know you won't agree to it" she smiles d"you're too much like him to ever agree to something like that" she laughed "no matter how hard I tried I could never get him to leave it behind."
"come on, there had to be some difference," Natsu joked
"nope," Lisanna smiled, "none that I can think of" Lisanna laughed "then again, we are biased sources," she said as they looked into the distance "even if this is temporary, it's just so good to see you," she said as They looked in the distance before a thought came across her mind "so how did Wendy-"
"I can't believe this," Lucy shouted, making Natsu and Lisanna rush back inside their conversation being entirely forgotten "little miss me packed her bags and left," Lucy screamed, "and after all that talk of helping"
"keep walking for three more days, and you'll get to the royal city," Wendy read, "I need to head back now; try not to get busted."
"When I find her, I'm going to wring her scrawny neck," Lucy shouted.
"so, you're saying you have a scrawny neck," Happy asked.
"We have to respect her decision Lucy," Wendy told her, "these guys have lost so much."
"that's not the point," Lucy shouted at Wendy.
"she's passionate," Lisanna muttered. "I don't mean that in a bad way, though."
"yeah," Natsu said, "but ya learn to live with it."
Outside edo, Lucy smiled "they can bring change," she said to herself; what the hell am I thinking? If anyone should bring change, it should be us if they can pull off this suicide mission of theirs' more power to em, but it's time for us to stop running and face the kingdom head-on.'
In a bar in another city, Gajeel had overheard a conversation "so I heard they're taking out the giant Lacrima tomorrow," some said, "where do think they're getting that from" Next to Gajeel was someone oddly familiar he smiled as he started to listen in as well as both stood revealing himself to be the edolas version of Gajeel
"interesting conversation," they said in unison" you mind telling me in much greater detail," they said, only to look at each other shocked
back in sycca, Lucy anger and fury had been lifted as she now had a book; she was now happily humming as they walked through the streets "you know. I would never have guessed all it took to calm Lucy down was a book," Wendy said
"what book you get anyway," Natsu asked.
"the complete history of edolas, silly," Lucy told him as if he should already know that "don't you want to know more about this amazing world while you have the chance."
"not really," Natsu admitted
"there's a lot about this fearsome tribe called the exceed," Lucy told them.
"don't say that name so casually, Lucy," Lisanna told her "it'll cause panic" she looked around a corner, "now my contact should be here soon," as she said that, a large airship appeared overhead.
"it's the army," Natsu said
"We gotta hide," Wendy said, pushing them behind a corner.
"I heard there taking the magic power out of that Lacrima the day after tomorrow," a guard said. "I guess that's why they need extra security."
"oh no," Natsu said, "they're talking about our friends."
"don't worry," Lisanna told them, "we'll have plenty of time."
"yeah," Natsu," Ima hate this, but maybe we should steal that airship."
"umm," Lisanna started.
"or we could sneak aboard," Carla said
"man," Natsu said, "all this sneaking around getting on my nerves."
"while your plan is good, I have another one," Lisanna said "we just need to get rid of those royal guards," she told them.
"then leave it to me," Lucy said. "I can still use my magic and remember how easily we took down those guards," Lucy said, "our magic is probably way more advanced than anything they've ever seen before."
"that not untrue," Lisanna said
Lucy smiled as she ran out "don't worry, I got this {open gate of the lion: Loke}; however, Virgo popped out of the ground as the army identified her as Lucy "hello princess."
"um, what," Lucy asked "where the hell is Loke," Lucy asked.
"big brother is currently occupied with a date," Virgo explained, "so he sent me to assist you."
"big brother," Lucy asked.
"yes," Virgo said, "master Leo asked I call him that"
"I'm going to wring his neck," Lucy screamed as the guards started close in on her "on no," Lucy said, "I was counting on Loke to make me look like a powerhouse."
"what about Aquarius?" Happy asked
"I need water," Lucy screamed.
"damn it," Natsu screamed as the airship turned to them, "we're not getting out of this."
Natsu looked to the side as the guards started to grab them "what's that" soon, a magic car burst in front of them, knocking all over
[##Hagane no Hakunetsusen##]
the car then did spin, shooting out for a canister, which knocked the rest of the guards back
"who's in the magic mobile," Lucy asked, "but hey, that's Mavis mark," she said
"so, they must be friendly," Happy said with joy
"get in," the person told them, "we don't have much time."
"Thanks," Lisanna shouted as they got in the car.
"Stop right there," a guard shouted as the person smirked, pressing on the gas, " time to set dome fire," the car burst off at high speed. "Ima bout to kick it into overdrive," she shouted as the car zoomed off
meanwhile, back at the bar, the two Gajeels were starting to get to know each other, "so you were sent to this world by one mister Mystogen, and only given a simple explanation and the shirt on your back."
"that could sum up my whole life story up to this point," he said, "getting used to this place hasn't been a walk in the park either."
"gotta say," edo Gajeel said, "this is the weirdest story I've ever done."
"I'll say," Gajeel told him, "how often you meet yourself in a bar."
edo Gajeel smiled, "gotta say," he told his counterpart, "your simple perspective is a neat one" as he walked over to sit down. "I'm a freelance journalist. It's my life's true calling."
"truth can hurt," Gajeel said, "had to take some poozers out earlier cause they thought I was you."
"I'm sorry you had to deal with that," edo Gajeel stated. "I've become a thorn in the side of many powerful men," he told his counterpart, "and as long as I can put pen to pad, I'll make sure people know the truth."
"you know," Gajeel said, speaking up, "when I first heard about this place, I that it would be completely different from our world" he then looked at his counterpart before they both grew wicked smiles on their faces.
"But you and I are completely alike," they said, throwing their arms around each other "not only do you dress good, but you don't take crap from people and fight the man," Gajeel smiled, "and write fancy words like I do if I care."
"and your uncapped wildness is like a reflection of my soul," edo Gajeel told him "we have so much in common, mister me" they stopped and bumped fists as Gajeel looked around.
"I also have some friends roaming around here," Gajeel said, "their idiots, but they got where it counts."
"don't worry," edo Gajeel said, "I'll keep an ear out."
"don't let me down," Gajeel said as the pair went their separate ways
the magic mobile burst through the desert, as Lisanna let out a sigh of relief "thanks for the save back there," she said, turning to the driver "your getting really good at this kiddo"
"no problem Lis," she told her as she heard Natsu groan in pain "tell puke face not to get any on the seats" she laughed
"This is amazing," Lucy said
"How does this thing operate without an SC plug," Happy asked
"what's that" Wendy asked
"it's how we use vehicles in earth land," Carla told her "a wizard uses their magic power to operate such objects."
"true," the driver said, "but here we go off magic fuel," she said, "and it's on a limited supply, so this trip better is worth my while, Lisanna." she said glancing at her "last run I did was a bust"
"of course, it is," Lisanna told her, "have I ever let you down before."
"I guess," she said before coming to s stop, "alright, here's our stop," she asked as Natsu burst out of the car "damn, he must not like driving."
"he gets motion sick," Wendy told her as she hopped up to check on him.
"come on," Lisanna said "guys," she said, getting their attention, "I'd like to introduce you properly."
the driver removed her goggles to show her face shocking the group her blue hair falling down her back as she took it out of its ponytail as she fixed her red leather jacket with flames on the side as she did a pose giving off a wink
"Nice to meet you," she said. "I'm Wendy Dragion, the last fairy at service."
"it's me," Wendy shouted
To be continued
it's safe to say that I think this is the only thing none you saw coming. Okay, maybe a little, but with me making Natsu dead in Edolas, someone had to take the role, and I figured why not Wendy. a lot happened in this chapter, so I hope you weren't too confused anyway; see you tomorrow
Natsu: man, everything is so different in Edolas
Happy: I wonder what my counterparts like
Wendy: Happy you're from edolas
Happy: oh yeah, I forgot about that
Next time: Welcome home
Happy: man, I wanted a double
Natsu: next time buddy
Happy: there won't be the next time
