A/N: Sorry for the wait everyone but I came up with something. We all know that The Dragon of Night Raid is a long story and it would be a pain to put all of that in a single chapter. So I came up with the idea of having the next few chapters of Fairy Tail seeing Wendy's memories. I know all of you really want to see their reactions to what Wendy had to go through. This way, it'll lighten up the load I have to deal with. Let's hope all of you enjoy it and not get pissed at me.

The Assassins of Fairy Tail

Job Fifteen: The Dragon's Memories Part One

"Goodness Wendy. Maybe you should take a rest for a little while."

"N-No. I'm fine. Really."

Lucy slightly gasped as she found herself on a boat and seeing Wendy hunched over the railing of the boat with Carla comforting her. "Aww, it's okay. The boat ride isn't much longer."

The blonde saw Chelia walking up to her and passed through Lucy which freaked out a little and saw the god slayer continuing to speak to Wendy. "We're really seeing Wendy's memories."

She continued to see the scene play out to her and the group was now on an island traveling to this site they were talking about with someone who was an archeologist. "Hey, you're wearing the bracelet I gave you."

Lucy saw Wendy looked at the bracelet and smiled at it. "Yes. I didn't get a chance to thank you." Seeing the bracelet reminded the blonde about the one Wendy was wearing now but it wasn't the same bracelet the young dragon slayer was wearing now. "Can you tell us more about this important discovery? I would really like to know more about it."

"I suppose so. You see we found a major find deep within the caves of this island. There are ruins in those caves and in them is this magnificent artifact that we deemed the Other Gateway. We have translated part of its ancient scriptures and have discovered that it could lead to other worlds."

When Lucy heard those words, she figured this Other Gateway was how Wendy was transported into that different world. She saw the group enter the cave and going down on some kind of elevator which Wendy didn't take too well. All of them traveled the path to where this Other Gateway was supposed to be. After hearing a small conversation between Wendy and Chelia, all of them arrived in a city of some sort and Lucy saw the Other Gateway. They were walking up the stairs when Wendy stopped. "Five. There are five people up there."

After some confusion, Lucy saw the three of them run up to the top and all of them saw the crew that was studying the Other Gateway lying on the ground. Standing in front were five figures that were wearing black cloaks. "So this is what they call the Other Gateway huh? Looking imposing enough."

"Tall, great, mysterious…"

"So how does thing work?"

It didn't take Wendy and Chelia long to engage the five or rather four into combat with them. All of them were exchanging attacks when one of them came up behind Wendy. "Painful Impact!" Lucy saw the attack hit Wendy and sent her over to where the Other Gateway was. Lucy saw the largest figure trying to hit Chelia and missed but the blonde noticed something strange about the spot he hit. "Hey, you idiot! Don't go rotting this entire place. We still need it in one piece!"

Lucy took noticed of that as well. "What does he mean by rotting?"

The battle continued for a little long until they all heard a loud hum and the ground beginning to shake. Then a bright blue light came out from the center of the Other Gateway and wind began to suck up everything in front into it. And Wendy was one of them along with the five before her. "Hold on child!" Lucy saw Carla trying to grab Wendy but failed.

Lucy saw Chelia run after Wendy. "Don't worry Wendy! I'll save you!"

They tried to grab each other's hand but barely missed each other. It was then Lucy felt her something in her stomach drop when she saw the look in Wendy's eyes. "Everyone…" Wendy was pulled into the Other Gateway and everything went to white.

Lucy suddenly felt horrible about what happened to Wendy. "So that's how she ended up in that other world."

"You know Wendy, I'm sure you would've been great friends with my daughter."

The blonde heard a new voice and found herself in some large dining room with a giant man standing along with them in a butler uniform. It was a little scary and strange to Lucy. She noticed Wendy was eating with who looked to be a gentleman. "You have a daughter?"

"She passed away five years ago. Her mother passed away a year after her birth and all I had was her. However, she died of a mysterious illness and I've been living by myself in this house ever since. She was about your age. Seeing you again reminds me of my daughter. You have brought joy to this old man." Lucy thought that was a bit of a sad story. It kinda reminded her of what her father must've felt when she disappeared for the seven years the blonde had been gone. He offered Wendy some food and thought she should start off with the soup. Before the younger dragon slayer could try the soup, Wendy stopped for some reason which had Lucy a little curious. Same with the man sitting across from her. "What is the matter? Is something wrong?" All of sudden, Wendy smacked the bowl in front away from her "Young lady what is wrong with you!"

"What do you think you were trying to do to me?"

Before Lucy could ask, an explosion suddenly happened and found herself outside the house which was a mansion and apparently it was night. She saw the man stand up before the young girl. "You! Just what the hell are you? Some kind of monster?!"

If Lucy had a jewel every time she heard that, she wouldn't have to worry about rent for a long time. "There was a sleeping drug in that soup. You were trying drug me weren't you?"

Lucy gasped when she heard that. "What kind of a person drugs a soup on a little girl?"

"Little bitch. How did you figure it out? No matter, you'll still dead." The blonde couldn't believe the one eighty the man had done. First, he was nice and now he was acting like a jerk and that was putting it lightly. He snapped his fingers and bodyguards with guns surrounded Wendy with their guns pointed at her. "This will be enough to deal with a monster such as yourself! Goodbye!" In typical Fairy Tail wizard fashion, Wendy fought back and easily took out the guards. The fact she could still use magic did surprise Lucy since she figured there wasn't any Ethernano in the world Wendy was in. What she had done did surprise the man. "BORO!" That big butler from before landed behind Wendy. "Boro here is a highly wanted criminal for many murders. He will make quick work for you! Go on Boro! Crush her bones into dust!"

Lucy seriously questioned how something like had happened. "Who hires a criminal to be their butlers?!"

Naturally, Wendy took care of the butler without a problem and that only left that man alone. Lucy saw her walk up to the man. "S-Stay back! Stay back! I mean it!" He pulled out a gun at her looking afraid. "I'll shoot if you don't stop!" Not long after he said that he just dropped to the ground.

Lucy saw Wendy walk up to him and check out what happened. "He fainted?"

That was actually the first time the blonde had seen someone faint because of what he had seen. "I guess he couldn't take it anymore."

"Hello? Is anyone out there? I couldn't help but hear all of you! I can also smell you! One of you is wearing a perfume of some kind!"

Lucy didn't understand what Wendy was saying but could guess pretty well who she was talking to. Soon she and Wendy heard rustling in the bushes and saw who came out. To the blonde's surprise, it was Leone in that beast form she had seen before. She saw Leone walking over to the young dragon slayer. "Hey there! How's it going?" Leone was looking around at what happened previously. "Well, you sure did a number on these guys. Quite impressive for a girl your age."

Lucy was beginning to understand the scene before her. "This must be the first time Wendy met Leone but…" She took a good look at the other blonde's choice of clothing. "What's with her outfit?"

"What are you talking about? I've seen you wear skimpy outfits before."

Lucy screamed as she turned to see Natsu standing next to her. "How did you get here!?"

Natsu turned to her and was about to answer but was interrupted. "We're all seeing the same thing, remember?" Both turned to see Gray.

Erza suddenly walked up next to him also observing the scene before them. "So this is how they first me."

All of them saw Leone looking over at the man who wanted to hurt Wendy. "Well, I'm pretty sure this guy won't hurt anyone again." They all saw her strike at him with her claw and saw blood spray out everywhere. They shared Wendy's reaction to what she saw. "Now he really won't hurt anyone else again." Everyone saw Leone turn to Wendy. "So kid, what's your-" And everything went black.

Lucy was freaking out just a little at what she just saw. "Did you see you that!? She just killed that guy! In front of Wendy!"

Natsu also felt a little uneasy seeing what happened before him. "I guess what they said was true after all."

Gray figured something out about what Wendy told them before. "And we know now why she didn't want Asuka to see certain things."

The scene before them began to change and was now in a room. Erza looked around it. "Where are we now?"

"Hey there! How did you sleep?" They heard Wendy scream and saw the younger girl on a bed with Leone next to her. "Hey, hey, no need to be scared. I don't bite…much."

So far this really wasn't the best way to meet someone new. Then again, Lucy had worse when she first met Natsu. They saw Wendy and Leone talk a little more before they finally began introductions. "Tell you what, I'll tell you my name and you can tell me yours okay? My name is Leone."

"M-Mine is Wendy. Wendy Marvell."

"Aww. A cute name for a little cutie like you. Now that we know each other, you can trust me now okay?" It would take a lot more than knowing a first name basis but it was a start. After hearing Wendy's stomach and Leone giving back her bracelet, they saw the two girls leave. The four wizards saw Wendy and Leone walk down a hallway and were talking about what happened before. They came across a pair of doors and Leone opened it. Or more like slammed the doors open. "Good morning everyone!"

"Oh, good morning Leone."

Natsu and the rest looked past the doors and saw several new people eating the table. They did recognize one. "Hey, that's one of the girls Wendy's with."

Lucy recognized Akame too but there one certain other that wasn't present. "Yeah, you're right but where's Chelsea? Is she not here yet?"

Erza took a closer look at the other people present. "I suppose these were the people Wendy was with while in that other world."

"Everybody, I would like you all of you to meet…Wendy!" They saw Leone introduce Wendy to the others. Naturally, the younger girl was a little shy of showing herself to other people. "It's all right Wendy. They're friendly." Lucy wondered how friendly they could actually be. After a small banter about Leone hitting Akame on the head for eating her food, something Lucy can relate regarding Natsu, Leone started to introduce the rest of the people to Wendy. "Right time for the introductions. Wendy, this is our little group. The kid over there is Tatsumi."

"Who are you calling a kid?"

"This food thief here is Akame. That guy right there is Lubbock. He's the pervert of the group."

"Hey!"

"That's Sheele right there." The big guy right there is Bulat."

"Hey there. Nice to meet you." Lucy thought he would get along with Elfman for some reason.

"That's Mine right there. Over there is our boss."

"Welcome. Please, make yourself comfortable."

Natsu was amazed seeing Najenda for the first time. "Oh, wow! She has a metal arm!"

Gray was more so curious about her appearance. "Wonder what happened to her to make her lose an arm and an eye."

They saw the scene change again before them and were now standing in front of what it seemed to be some sort of training ground with Wendy and Leone standing in it. "So how much you want to bet this is going to end badly?" The four turned to side to see Lubbock and the others standing around.

"If you ask me that kid doesn't even stand a chance. We all know how strong Leone is."

"Now, now we can't be so quick to judge. Let's just see how the kid does first."

The four looked back at Wendy and Leone who seemed ready to fight. "Sorry Wendy but when it comes to a fight, I won't hold back even if you are a kid."

"That's fine with me."

"All right then. You asked for it!" The group saw Leone slam her fists together and the belt buckle began to glow brightly. "Lionel activate!" The transformation they saw was the same as the first time they saw it. "So what do you think?"

For Lucy, she was actually intrigued. "So that wasn't Take Over magic she did at all?"

Gray began to piece some of the clues together. "So there was something about that belt buckle of hers."

They witnessed the fight between Wendy and Leone. It didn't take long for Leone and the others watching to see just how strong the young dragon slayer was. Naturally, they heard the comments after seeing what Wendy did. "Holy crap! Look at the training grounds!"

"All of that…from one attack?"

After that spectacle, the fight resumed and Wendy was keeping up with Leone. Seeing the fight same as Natsu and the others was Leone herself and she was grinning happily. "Ah…such memories. Seeing all of this again really brings me back." With her were Chelsea and Akame. Seeing into the past like this brought a good chance for Chelsea to see Sheele and Bulat for the first time.

The fight continued for a little while longer and Wendy ended up as the victor while Leone was heavily injured. As a good sport, Wendy started to use her healing magic on the injured blonde and that's when Lucy and the others saw Akame's and the people she was with reactions. "She's…"

"Healing Leone's injuries." Lucy figured this was the first time they've seen someone with the power to heal others.

After seeing the brief comedic scene of Leone shoving Wendy's face into her breasts as some sort of thank you, the four wizards saw Najenda walk up to them not looking happy. "You're able to control the wind freely without using an Imperial Arms, you have heightened senses able to detect anyone and anything, powerful for a child your age, and to top it off you have the ability to heal people of their injuries. I highly suggest you tell us who or what exactly you are or we will kill you right where you stand." Erza really didn't take kindly to those words.

"How should I put this? I'm what you call…a dragon slayer."

There was a brief silence after hearing that until they heard everyone scream the name thing. "A DRAGON SLAYER?!"

The scene faded to black once again. After seeing that, Lucy couldn't help but chuckle a little. "So that's when they learned Wendy's a dragon slayer. I'm pretty sure she told them everything about her after that."

Erza thought the same but had a question of her own. "Now we just need to know when they tell her about being assassins."

"You're assassins? All of you?"

Everyone found themselves in a new room where the people Wendy met were all gathered. "That was quick." Gray pointed out.

"It is quite surprising to you sure but let me finish. In terms of your world, we are somewhat of a dark guild but also with some aspects of one of those legal guilds you explained before. You see we kill people who harm or harmed others for a price. We simply help those who need it."

Gray recalled Akame saying something similar from before. They heard the rest of the explanation. About what was happening and how their target was someone called the Prime Minister who was responsible and that they were part of the Revolutionary Army just like Akame mentioned. They started to get the whole idea. Wendy spoke what all of them were thinking. "Oh, I understand now. So basically all of you are kinda like heroes fighting evil for the greater good!"

And they saw everyone saw Leone and most of the others laughing at what she said which seemed a little strange to Lucy. "I don't get it. What's so funny to them?"

She heard Wendy ask the same question. "Why is everyone laughing?"

"Oh, Wendy. You're so adorable. No matter what you say we are…we're still murderers straight to the bottom line no matter what the reason it is."

Erza hated to admit it but she had to agree. "She's right. Even if it is for what's right, murder is still murder."

"That's not how I see it." She and the others turned to Wendy. "To me, you're people making a change for others for the better of it. To me, no matter what all of you call yourselves, you're still fighting for a just cause." And they should've expected Wendy to say something like that.

"If believe so then how about you join up with us?"

Now they came to the part where Wendy did join up with them. "You want me to join?"

Yes. If you do believe that strongly, then you can make a difference as well. You have a set of skills that are very unique. You would be an invaluable member. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity for you. I can assure you that by joining up with us, you'll be better off here rather than struggling to survive out in the Capital."

If what Natsu and the others saw so far, it was the better choice but still saw the uncertainty look on the young dragon slayer. "If I do join, does that mean I have to kill people even if they harmed others?"

That question brought them back to what Wendy told them before. How she only killed one person by the name of Esdeath. "No, you do not. Granted you will go on some missions but you will mostly be for support and other tasks that are suited for you. If you are in some sort of trouble, we've seen how you've handled yourself and you have others to back you up. However, if you do choose to join us, you must know a few things. First one is that your life may suddenly end without you knowing. The work we do is dangerous and there is always a chance where we won't make it back alive. The second is that our goal is to kill the Prime Minister and all efforts will go into that. We will not spare time in helping you finding a way back to your world. You have to do that on your own. The choice is yours but I highly suggest you join us."

Erza and the others understood the weight of the conditions they've heard. Erza herself couldn't believe what the conditions were. "I understand their cause but something like this?"

"I refuse." She was surprised as was as everyone else to hear Wendy say that. "I'm not going to die! I have friends who are waiting for me back home. Friends who are worried about me just as I'm worried about them. If I die here, then we won't be able to see each other again. So until I find a way leading back to my world, I won't die!"

Natsu and the rest couldn't help but smile at Wendy's answer. Natsu was smiling the biggest. "Even in a different world, she still a Fairy Tail wizard."

"She's still in Lamia Scale currently at this time, though." Lucy pointed out.

"That's quite a bold statement you made. A rather foolhardy one at that. Do you mean what you just said?"

"Yes, I do and... I will gladly join."

And it was from that point forward where they saw the beginning of Wendy's journey as a member of Night Raid. "Then it's settled. Welcome to Night Raid Wendy Marvell."

The scene faded out to black was replaced by a new setting. Lucy and the others looked around and they were in some of sort of warehouse. "So where's this?"

"Thank you all for joining us this evening. Tonight we have thirty lovely ladies ready to go and all for your pleasure. Now, shall we begin?"

They heard a voice from below and looked down to see a group of people. "What's going on here?" Natsu asked.

Gray took a closer look. "Looks like an auction or something."

If it was, Erza didn't forget what she heard before. "If it is, then that person said they had women ready from before."

Lucy understood what this auction was about. "Wait a minute, they're selling women?! To these people?!" The others shared her feeling about the whole thing. It was despicable of what they were doing.

Before they could start, they saw Akame suddenly drop down from above and slash the MC's throat with her sword. Like before, they were horrified at the sight. After he fell down dead, everyone else was surprised by her sudden arrival. One of the other guys on the stage pulled out his gun on her but he was split in half by Tatsumi from the head. Everyone else drew out their guns on them. "Who the hell are you two?"

Their answer came in the form of Leone landing and crushing two of the people in the crowd. "Who are we? That you don't need to know because all of you are going to die tonight!"

"Kill them!"

They heard a shot ring out and saw Mine holding some sort of strange gun. "Well, you heard the guy!"

What transpired next was the rest of the Night Raid members slaughtering all of the people within the warehouse with their blood being spilled and their screams loud but no one could hear them. It was a very gruesome sight to Lucy and the rest of them. "How…horrible…"

Erza was feeling sick to her stomach looking at the sight. "So this is how they operate."

Gray did notice something strange about one of the member's weapon of choice. "Is that girl with the glasses using a giant pair of scissors as a weapon?"

That was hardly Lucy's concern. She looked over to where Wendy was seeing the same thing. "She really saw all of this with her own eyes?" The blonde saw the younger girl jump down. "Why did she jump?"

The scene shifted to Wendy seeing two of the people from the crowd in front of a jail cell where all of the women were being held. They saw the young dragon slayer take them out easily without using her magic and destroyed the lock to the cell. After that, she reassured the women that her friends were taking care of the men outside. They witnessed Wendy going back and saw the aftermath of the slaughtering as there was no other word to put it. The scene before them was yet another example of what Asuka shouldn't see. Erza and the others couldn't imagine what the smell was like for Wendy. They saw the young dragon slayer return with Leone accompanying her and Leone made an opening via smashing a hole in the wall. The women were all happy and left to return to their families. "For your first time out with us, you did pretty well."

"I didn't do much. All I did was give you and Tatsumi a little boost. That's all."

"That's not true. You managed to save lives today and isn't that what's important? Come on let's get back to the others and then back to base. I'm sure you'll want to sleep all of this off."

"That sounds nice."

And the scene faded away. As gruesome as the sight was before them, Lucy did have a small understanding of what they did. "At least they saved the women. Like Leone said, that's what was important."

While she wasn't wrong, Erza can't help but see the faults. "I suppose you're right but…to do such a thing. To those people, even if they were a bunch of villains." She could understand their reasoning but that didn't mean she had to accept them.

"Thank you for coming with me Tatsumi. It's a little nerve-wracking traveling all this way."

"It's no problem. Us newbies in the group have to stick together and if you're ever in trouble, you can count on me to back you up."

The four were in a new area that seemed very barren and desolate with Wendy walking along with one of the members of Night Raid. They heard the conversation between her and Tatsumi about he ended up with Night Raid. Lucy and the others listened in and the blonde felt a little sorry for him losing his two friends. The next topic of the conversation was that if an Imperial Arms could revive someone who died. Sadly, Tatsumi explained that there was no such thing. Then they started to talk about the other members. Lubbock and Leone's joining in was a mystery to him but Tatsumi told Wendy everything he knew so far about the other members. With Akame, she used to be part of the Imperial Army before joining the Revolutionary Army and to their surprise, she has a sister. They certainly didn't expect to learn something like about her. The next was Mine who was from the Western Tribe and was treated poorly because of her half of her blood was foreign. It was when he talked about Bulat is where they learned something unexpected. "Oh yeah one thing you should know about him is…well…well he's into other guys."

"He's what!?" All four wizards shouted at the same time.

Elfman shared their reaction. "He's that kind of man!?"

"Oh, my. I certainly wasn't expecting that." Mirajane spoke.

Tatsumi finally explained what Sheele was like. In short, a little out there at times but can be quite the lethal killer as they've seen before prior to Wendy's memories. After hearing about the other members of Night Raid, Lucy can understand them a little better now. "You know, they're really not that different from the rest of us in Fairy Tail."

Erza could see that too. "Yes. I suppose you're right and I can understand their drive striving into making this Capital a better place for people to live in."

They watched Wendy and Tatsumi travel a little father until they were shot at with a few arrows. A new person approached by the name of Naneya who pointed her next arrow at them. After some confirmation from Tatsumi, Naneya led them to her village. When they arrived, Gray and the others saw how horrible the people living in it were. "As you can see, this is what those Empire dogs did to us. We refused to join them and they, in turn, poisoned our water. We didn't know at first but then people started to scream in pain and soon after that, they started to die. It's not only our people but our livestock as well. We had to venture deeper into unknown territory just to find a new source of water but it's been deadly with all the danger beasts living around here. Even our best are struggling but my father has suffered the worst of it. Our village doctor tried every method of curing this illness but none seemed to work. That was when I was told this group recently recruited a person who can cure this. We're normally a prideful group not allowing outsiders for help but I had no other choice."

Erza was absolutely disgusted by what the Empire had done to them "This isn't even punishment. This is more like torture to them. Having them suffering like this."

They arrived at a large hut and saw a man lying on the floor. It was obvious now what Wendy was sent to do now. After the plea Naneya had given, they watched Wendy go right to work in healing her father from the poison. It didn't take long for the man to recover back to full heath. After saying his thanks to the young dragon slayer, everyone saw Wendy heal the entire village next. Every one of them was cured of the poison. They and the leader expressed their gratitude to her for what she had done for them. "Words cannot express how grateful I am to you young one. You have saved many lives and renewed our hope. You can tell your leader that we will gladly join the Revolutionary Army." They saw him turn to his villagers. "Do you hear me!? We will join and give those Imperial dogs what they deserve!"

After some more cheering and a surprise kiss from Naneya, everyone watched Wendy and Tatsumi leave the village. During their leaving, they saw Wendy stumble a little and Tatsumi took notice. "Hey, are you okay?"

"I'm fine. Even though healing that poison wasn't too difficult, it was the amount of people I had to heal that was a bit tiring."

The others weren't surprised by that. Helping others in need was always one of Wendy's best points. They saw Tatsumi offer her a lift and she accepted it. Everything began to fade but could hear what Tatsumi said next. "Get plenty of rest Wendy. Tomorrow will be a bit rough as well but we'll be with you just like you'll be with us. You're a member of Night Raid now and that means you're family to us."

Natsu was actually starting to like Tatsumi now. "I don't know about you guys but they're kinda growing on me now." Lucy had to agree with him as rare at that is.

They all suddenly heard crying and it sounded like it was coming from Wendy. Everyone found themselves in her room and saw the young girl crouched on her bed with her face buried into her knees still crying. "Sheele…"

All of them wondered what happened to make her cry in the first place. "Hey there, Wendy."

Everyone saw Leone enter the room. "Leone? What are you doing in my room?"

Leone herself remembered this little scene well. "Well, I was just passing by until I heard a certain cute girl crying." The blonde sat down next to Wendy on the bed. "Is it about Sheele?" They wondered what Sheele had to do with this. Everyone saw her reaction to the question. "Aw, come here. You're not the only one torn up about this. We all are and we all feel the same way you do."

It was quite a touching a sight seeing them hug each other. Especially to Erza. "Thank you, Leone."

"No problem. I'm always there if you need me."

Seeing the scene before them was quite heartwarming. It was hard to believe that Leone was the very same person who was an assassin but genuinely cared for Wendy. Her and apparently the rest of Night Raid. "It just wasn't Sheele."

"What do you mean by that?"

Wendy began to explain to Leone how she lost Cait Shelter and her mother Grandeeney and losing Sheele which everyone figured out that she was no longer among them reminded her of that. Except, she barely had the time to know Sheele. Leone explained that she and the other members of Night Raid felt the same way about the loss of their friend. They saw the two bond a little more until they heard Wendy giggle. "What's so funny?"

"It's just something I remembered what Erza told me before." Erza was surprised Wendy mentioned her in this. "She said to me that it's always sad to part with those who you love but the friends you have now will help bear all of that sadness." Erza smiled at what the younger girl said. She said those exact words to Wendy before offering her to join Fairy Tail.

After saying those words, they saw Leone stand up. "Well, I enjoyed our little bonding. I hoped it helped a little. I'll see you in the morning." And it just cut out from there which was strange.

Still, they did enjoy seeing that little scene. Speaking of, they were in the main hall again with everyone gathered. "Now that all of you are here, I'm afraid I have some bad news. General Esdeath has conquered the Northern tribe and has returned to the Capital."

"Hold on! I thought it would've taken her a year to do that?"

"Apparently not."

Gray heard Wendy say that name from before. "Who's this Esdeath character?"

"What are all of you talking about?" Apparently, he and Wendy thought the same thing.

"Esdeath was sent on a mission to the north to retake a base that was taken by a tribe lead by a powerful leader called Prince Numasega. He was in this case, an excellent strategist and fights with a spear. He was branded as a hero by his people. All of us thought it would've taken her a year to take back the base but what we just heard says otherwise."

Lucy and the others were stunned by Akame's explanation and it didn't stop there. "Really? She's that strong? I wonder what else she's like."

"She is a deranged person who is obsessed with murder and bloodshed."

Lucy gulped at Najenda's description. "Wow. She sounds pretty scary."

Natsu didn't seem intimidated. "Oh, please. We took on worse than whatever she was."

Gray thought otherwise. "If that was the case, then Wendy wouldn't break down like she did in front of everyone."

The rest of the conversation was about how a group working under Esdeath was killing some important people and using their name. That detail alone was enough to make Natsu mad. The whole reason for this was to lure them out. Tatsumi voiced out his thoughts about the whole thing and so did Wendy. "I agree! This isn't any different as someone who commits crimes and says they're part of the guild when they're not. Something like that is unforgivable!"

Natsu roared hearing that. "Yeah! Let's kick their asses!"

Lucy facepalmed at what he said. "We're seeing Wendy's memories. All of this happened in the past so you really can't do anything." Their next mission was to apprehend the imposters in two possible locations. One in the north and the other one a boat which quelled Natsu a little.

Everything changed again and saw Wendy and Leone enter a different room with most of the members of Night Raid but Natsu and the others could tell something was wrong judging by the look on their faces. "Hey, everyone. We're back. What's with the sad faces?"

Gray noticed that one of them wasn't with the rest. "Where did that one guy go?"

"Where's Bulat?" Apparently, he thought of the same question as Wendy.

Lucy quickly figured it out. "No way…"

They saw Wendy come to the same conclusion. "No…it can't be."

The members continued to be silent before hearing what Tatsumi said to her. "Bro…he's gone." And the setting went to black.

Lucy couldn't help but feel a little sad for Wendy. "Poor Wendy."

Erza felt the same but she understood what Najenda said before. "What she said is true. There's always the chance they won't come back."

Gray understood the weight they had to carry now. "I guess that's the life of an assassin for you."

They saw the scenery change and found themselves in an arena with a very large crowd cheering. "Where are we now?" Natsu asked.

"I'll teach you to not to make a fool out of me!"

Everyone turned around to see Wendy fighting against a random guy swinging his axe around. After a few more missed swings, the young dragon slayer disappeared and then kicked him on top of his head. It was obvious she won. "And the winner of the match is…Wendy the Sky Maiden!"

Natsu turned to the MC and raised an eyebrow. "Who's that guy?"

They saw Wendy look at another direction and turned to the same way. All of them noticed a woman walking down the stairs. Already Gray had a bad feeling about her. "Never mind the guy. Who's this chick?"

Erza narrowed her eyes. "If I were to wager a guess, that would this Esdeath person we've heard about before."

Lucy didn't know why but she was somehow a little frightened. "Yeah…she…looks a little scary."

They watched Esdeath stand before the young dragon slayer. "So your name is Wendy? That's a very lovely name you have."

"Thank you very much. I'm honored that you're speaking to me."

"Think nothing of it. Now then…" Even if it was a memory, everyone felt a little on edge. What happened next surprised them all with Esdeath clamping a collar around Wendy's neck with a chain attached. "Starting today, you belong to me now. Let us go." They witnessed Esdeath strike Wendy on the back of her neck and everything went black suddenly.

The four were trying to process what they just saw. "What was that all about!?" Lucy demanded. Everyone else had the same question.

The scenery changed and they were now in a room with Esdeath along with six other people including the guy who acted as the MC. With them was Wendy who was tied up in a chair which Lucy really didn't understand. "Why is Wendy tied up?"

"Ah good, you're awake. Everyone, this is Wendy. Starting today she is my lover."

"LOVER!" They saw so many wrong things about that.

"Um, General Esdeath? You do know she's a kid right?"

"Yes. And?"

"And she's a girl."

"What is your point about that?"

Everyone questioned her thinking about this whole thing. Even Natsu. "I get Juvia with Gray but this chick with Wendy?"

Gray didn't take kindly to that but had to agree. "Yeah, no kidding. It's kinda creepy."

They continued to watch the scene unfold and Esdeath asked the people in the room if they were in a relationship. None of them raised their hands except one. Everyone in the room was surprised as was Lucy and the others. "Wait, him?"

"Yep. A lovely wife of six years. Sometimes I feel like I don't deserve someone like her."

"He has a wife?" Both Lucy and Erza asked at the same time.

"Excellent. I need you to tell me how I can have Wendy return my affections."

Erza felt annoyed at that question. "You can't ask someone about how a person can love you back."

"Uh…well if you want her to like you back, the simple trick is never giving up. My wife shot me down two times before giving me a chance." Juvia was making mental notes of the piece of advice she heard. Chelsea looked away at seeing Bols again while having a guilty look on her face.

The scene before them changed and Wendy was having a dinner with Esdeath and the other people. Every one of them introduced themselves to Wendy. All of them began to eat which seeing them made Natsu a little hungry. "So Wendy…would you care to tell us where you are from?"

Esdeath's question made everyone freeze a little. They recognized the situation Wendy was put in. "I come from a remote village in the east called Lamia Scale."

Lucy smiled at what the young dragon slayer had said. "Nice one Wendy."

"Lamia Scale? I don't believe I've heard about it before."

And there was another problem. Their only worry now was how Wendy was going to carry out her lie. "I'm not surprised. Like I said my village is remote or it used to be."

"What do you mean by that?"

Wendy continued to lie to them about her origins. It involved how her village and mother were destroyed by a black dragon and that one day would vow to exact revenge on the dragon who destroyed her life. She also told them that a traveling saint called Jura was the one who found her and trained her for seven years. For lie, it was good enough to fool Esdeath and the people with her. Leone was practically proud that Wendy did that. "Atta girl Wendy. I knew you could figure it out."

"Well, your master was right about one thing. If you want to become stronger, the Capital is the place to be although it is not suited for anyone who is considered weak. After this, we will be headed out to take out a bandit's fort. There you will see what true strength is like Wendy." The setting faded away.

Lucy sighed out of relief after seeing that scene. "I was worried Wendy's cover would be blown. Good thing she thought up that lie."

Natsu was still curious about what Wendy said. "Why did Wendy say all of that in the first place?"

"Isn't it obvious?" The other three soldiers turned to Erza. "The last thing Wendy wants them to know is that she can use magic. It's best not imagine what the enemy can do with her kind of abilities. Especially her healing magic." She brought up a lot of good points.

All of them found them themselves in a different location now. "Now where are we?" Gray asked.

His answer came in form of an explosion and turned to where it came from. "Now Koro! Phase Five!" They saw that little dog of her suddenly grow and chomped one of her metal arms.

The sight of it freaked Lucy out. "That dog ate her arm!"

Natsu was more curious than freaked out. "What kind of a dog does that?"

They saw Seryu pull out a giant drill out of the dog's mouth. "Devil King's Drill of Justice!"

They witnessed Seryu use that drill the shear through bandits with ease. The rest of the Jaeger members followed through. Next up was Kurome who cut through more of the bandits inside their base with Wave taking out one who was going sneak attack. Then they saw Bols use a flamethrower of some kind and burned most of the bandits to their deaths. Those remaining were fleeing for their lives but then their heads were pieced from behind. That's when Lucy and the others saw a familiar pair of wings. "Hey, those wings are…"

Gray thought the same thing. "So he's the guy who had those before."

All that was left of the bandits base a flaring blaze with the Jaeger members walking away from it. Even Erza had to recognize their strength. "So these are the people Wendy and the others had to fight in this world."

"I hope you've been paying attention, Wendy. Soon you'll be able to do that as well and I'll be the one to train you." They turned around to see Wendy and Esdeath sitting next to each other and Esdeath was holding Wendy's hand. Erza really didn't like the sight of it. Wendy, I have a question to ask you. Do you think it is strange that I harbor these strong feelings for you?"

"I think it's weird. She's twelve for goodness sakes!" Lucy answered.

"I mean I realize the situation we're in. Indeed, I am older than you and yes we are both girls but these feelings I have are just so strong and I just can't ignore them. You understand don't you?"

The others were curious as to how Wendy would answer that. "Of course, I do. What you're feeling is natural after all. I don't mind that we're both girls and that you're older than me. In fact, this isn't the first time someone older took a liking to me."

What she said made Lucy wonder about something. "Wait, who else likes Wendy that is older?"

"Thank you. Those words are very reassuring indeed. How about after this mission, we head back to my room?" And the whole scene cut to black rather quickly.

Erza couldn't help but have a bad feeling as to what Esdeath had planned saying that. They saw the scene change and saw Wendy sitting on a chair looking miserable. "What happened to Wendy last night?"

"Whoa, are you ok? You don't look so good. You didn't get enough sleep last night?"

They watched Wave walk up to the young dragon slayer and began to converse with each other. They heard Wendy talk about her opinions about Wave and the other Jaeger members. Then they saw Kurome walk into the room and started eating her cookies out from her bag. Something about her reminded them about something but couldn't quite place it. She then suddenly grabbed her bag. "Stay away from my cookies."

Lucy couldn't help but be skeptical about her. "Wow. Possessive much?"

"Oh no, I wasn't looking at your cookies. I was just thinking how similar you look like that one girl from the wanted posters I've seen before."

"Come to think of it, she's right."

Everyone wondered who they were talking about. "You two are right. I'm related to that traitor. She's my big sister."

Lucy suddenly realized something about what Kurome said. "Wait, sister? Does she mean Akame?"

Erza came to the same conclusion. "That Tatsumi person did say Akame had a younger sister. Their names are also similar. Akame, Kurome, It's safe to assume that this is the sister he was talking about."

It seemed the most logical to them but something she said had Gray wondering about something. "What did she mean about her being a traitor?"

"And when I see her again, I'll kill her."

Everyone gasped when they heard that on par with not believing what she said. Lisanna was among them. "Kill…her older sister?"

"That's messed up." Elfman added.

Not too long after, Esdeath arrived in the room and asked Wendy to talk to her private. They walked into another room where it was just them. "Let me say I'd like to apologize for my behavior and actions last night. It…wasn't right what I did and I admit my emotions have gotten the better of me. You're the last person I want to hurt and scare away."

Now Erza was more curious than ever as to what Esdeath was talking about. "What did she do to Wendy last night?" Whatever it was, she had a feeling it was good.

"Therefore, to make up for last night, I suggest we go out on a date. Start over and try to know one another better."

"ARE YOU FREAKING KIDDING ME!" Leone couldn't believe Esdeath even said that.

"Sure, I love to."

Leone groaned at the younger girl's response. Chelsea couldn't help but find this a little funny. "A date with Esdeath. I'm curious how that went."

"Excellent. We will have the whole day to ourselves. I promise you won't regret it."

The setting changed and was seeing Wendy and Esdeath sitting in a café enjoying some food. They were having a conversation about the young dragon slayer saying something about her mother taught her medicine and her "village life." Esdeath, in return, told her some things about herself. "To start off, I was born and raised in the north as a member of the Partas clan. My father, the head of the clan, was the one who taught me how to hunt, track and survive in the cold harsh wilderness of the north. Out there, only the strong survive. That rule was proven true when my father was killed by a rival clan. He died because he was weak."

That comment sparked some anger out of Erza. "What did she just say?"

Lucy felt the same way. "How could she say such a thing about her own father?"

Gray took it a little personal. "That's her old man she just disrespected."

Natsu took it as a great insult. "Now I really want to pulverize her."

The conversation continued on and Esdeath asked if Wendy knew what Imperial Arms were. She said yes and then Esdeath pointed at the mark on the top of her cleavage. Lucy didn't quite understand. "I don't get it. How can a tattoo be a weapon?"

"It's a blood type Imperial Arms if you're still wondering called the Demon God Manifestation: Demon's Extract. Many have tried to obtain it before me and went mad. You see it was created from the blood of an S-Class danger beast that lived in the far north. I was drawn to it and I drank the entire chalice and sure enough, I felt the effects. I heard the voices pounding into my mind but I would not succumb to them. In the end, I won out. I can still remember the feeling of all of that power flowing through me."

"She drank demon blood!?"

Natsu shared Lucy's reaction. "That must've not tasted good."

"Not to mention she drank an entire chalice of it." Gray added.

"So…you still have that demon blood in you?"

"Of course. Don't worry, I've tamed it long ago."

"And you used that power to uh…avenge your clan?"

"Not at all. I've killed hundreds of thousands of tribes alive. All of that was to cut costs and making an example. I would have done it regardless being justified or not. Besides, it was an order from the Capital."

As if she couldn't be worse to the rest of them. "She would just kill them? Just like that?" Lucy had never seen such a person before.

Erza shared the same thought. "This woman has no regard for human life. How can such a person like her even exist?"

Esdeath then switched the topic talking about Wendy's bracelet. She answered that it was a gift from a friend that was from her village. Again, it wasn't a total lie. "I'm afraid I don't understand. Why still keep an item from a person that is no longer alive?"

"Of course, you wouldn't. Someone like you would never understand." Erza stated.

"Just because they're not around anymore doesn't mean they're gone. They continue to live on in our memories and what we were given from them. If you can't understand that then I'm not sure we can continue our current relationship."

The scene changed again and now found themselves in a library of some sorts reading books. "I do believe I found something."

"What is it?"

Everyone leaned in to see what Wendy was seeing. "Well, the details are vague at best but it does mention traveling to another world. There is even a drawing of what the gateway looks like."

Lucy was feeling glad Wendy had found a way back to her home. "That's great but how did Wendy pull it off?"

"There is something else this page mentions about."

And that dashed Lucy's happiness. "Great, what now?"

"What does it say?"

"This drawing only shows what this gateway looked like before. It says here that it was destroyed four hundred years ago." The whole setting faded away.

Erza and the others recognized the severity of Wendy's situation. "So Wendy is stuck in a world where death is apparent and had no way back to our world."

"But she did. Otherwise, we wouldn't have seen her again so she must've found a way." Gray pointed out.

Lucy remembered something else. "Come to think of it, Gajeel said the other guilds came back from their world too after saving her so there had to be another way. I guess we'll see how they pulled it off later on."

"Hey, pick up the pace! You're falling behind!" All of them ended up in a new place and saw Wendy walking up a rocky trail with Kurome. "Hurry up!"

They could tell what was on Wendy's mind. Then they saw Kurome draw out her sword to the young dragon slayer. "What's she doing?!"

"W-What are you doing?" Wendy asked the same question as Lucy.

"You're not telling the whole truth. You're hiding something from the rest of us. Keeping secrets is one way to get killed."

Erza felt suddenly nervous about this. "Did she figure it out?"

"I have nothing to hide from all of you. If you have problems with me then say it already." They heard Kurome giggle. "What's so funny?"

"I was thinking how easy it would be to run my sword through your head and yet you show no sign of hesitation. You're either brave or just plain stupid."

"So which one do you think?"

"What I think is that if you weren't General Esdeath's love interest, I would kill you and add you to my collection of dolls."

Lucy had a bad feeling hearing about that. "Why do I get the feeling it's the kind that's played." Not long after that, they were attacked by strange tree monsters and Wendy saved Kurome from being attacked. They both attacked the tree monsters together and the scene faded out.

Lucy sighed at what she had seen so far. "I don't know how much more I can take this. How did Wendy get into this in the first place?"

"Wrong place, wrong time is my guess." Gray spoke.

The setting changed and they were in a large grassy field at night. "Are you insane? You can't fight her! She's the strongest in the Empire!"

They turned to see Wendy with Akame and unfortunately, Esdeath was there. "Just because she's the strongest doesn't mean she's unbeatable. "Just go. I don't have an Imperial Arms so I should be fine."

Lucy could tell where this was going. "She's seriously going to fight that woman?!"

"Looks like it to me." Natsu assessed.

After some arguing, Akame ultimately left Wendy alone to face off against Esdeath and she was not too happy. "So…you're a member of Night Raid."

"I'm sorry you had to find out this way. I never wanted you to find out about it this way."

"It's a bit poetic don't you think? That I am in love with the enemy without knowing who the enemy was. Now that it has come to this, I'm afraid I have to set aside all personal feelings."

"So that's it? Our time together didn't mean anything to you then?"

"Of course, it did but business comes before personal feelings. In fact, I should be asking you that question. Wendy…I admit you are strong for your age but you have a long way to go before you can challenge me on equal terms. What's more is that I never knew how arrogant you are."

"What do you mean?"

"You said you will come back to her. There are only two ways this will end for you. Death or capture and I assure you death is the most merciful way. After that, I will hunt down Akame, kill her, and kill the rest of Night Raid."

"Then I choose the third option! The one where I win! If you want to get to the others, you'll have to go through me first!"

"It seems the time for talking is over. It's such a shame though for a girl your age and potential to die so young."

"Well, I have one more thing to say. They're the same words I told the last person who tried to kill me. When I have to fight…I become the Sky Dragon."

Leone gulped at the scene before her while Chelsea was intrigued. "So now we'll get to see her fight with Esdeath."

Their started and Wendy did manage to catch her off guard with her magic. She was pulling out all the stops to defeating Esdeath. She didn't let up once in attacking the general. However, Esdeath wasn't going down without a fight. They saw her create ice shards around her which caught Gray's attention. "She uses ice?" It didn't seem like Ice-Make magic to him.

"Weiss Schenbal!" Wendy dodged the attacks and came in close to her. The two exchanged attacks at each other and Wendy countered attacked them every time. Eventually, Wendy started to have the upper hand in the fight.

Even if it was just a memory, Akame, and the others found it incredible she was holding her own against the former strongest of the Empire. "Tell me this, Wendy. Was everything you told me, told the others all a lie?"

"No, not all of it. My mother was killed by a dragon with black wings and black scales."

"Is that so? Then you can join her in the afterlife!" They saw Esdeath create a large vortex of ice surrounding Wendy. "You should feel honored Wendy! You're the first to push me this far! Enjoy your last moments in a frozen misery!"

Erza and the others were worried about how Wendy would get out of it. Then they heard a strangely familiar sound. What they saw next astounded them all. "SHE'S EATING THE ICE!?"

After seeing her eat Esdeath's attack, her appearance had changed. One Natsu and the others had seen before. Before they knew it, she had changed completely and roared. "ICE SKY DRAGON MODE!"

Now it made sense to Natsu. "So that's how she got that weird power."

They all saw the look on Esdeath's face. "You…just what in the hell are you?!" Again, if Lucy had a jewel every time she heard that.

Wendy didn't waste any time using her new power on Esdeath. "ICE SKY DRAGON'S…IRON FIST!" Her attacked devastated Esdeath and sent her away. Wendy chased after her and continued her attack. "ICE SKY DRAGON'S RAGING STORM!" Her next attack struck Esdeath head on.

Leone recognized the shaking. "This is where I was going to where Wendy was."

They saw Esdeath hurt very badly which was something Akame and the others would have never imagined before. Wendy suddenly appeared before her. "ICE SKY DRAGON'S STRIKING SPEAR!"

Her attack sent both her and Esdeath in the air with Wendy yelling and Esdeath screaming. Natsu was having a sense of déjà vu. "Why does this look familiar to me?"

They separated once they were high enough. "ICE SKY DRAGON'S…ROAR!" They saw her attack completely engulf Esdeath and flew far away from. After that, Wendy went back to normal. "I…did…it." Everything went black.

Natsu couldn't help but laugh at the fight he just saw. "Ha ha! That was awesome! Wendy totally beat the crap out of her!"

Lucy also felt proud of what Wendy had accomplished. "Wendy did a great job. Hopefully, that'll be the last she'll see her."

They saw the scene change and saw Wendy reunited with the rest of Night Raid. It looked like Wendy finished explaining something to them. "Still, what you told us about the Jaegers, they all sound pretty tough." Tatsumi stated.

"I can't believe Kurome is a part of them."

"I know she's your sister but why didn't you take her when you left the Empire?"

Tatsumi's point brought a question from Lucy. "Hey, yeah. Why didn't she take her?"

"I wanted to but for some reason, Kurome decided to stay behind. In her eyes, I'm nothing but a traitor."

That was one question answered but there now another. "Why did Kurome stay behind?" Erza wondered.

Wendy then explained how she defeated Esdeath and made a comment of what would Natsu do in her situation. Then there was the question if she could do it again. Chances are she could given by Natsu's experience before. Then heard Akame ask a serious question. "Wendy…since you fought against Esdeath, can you be sure that you killed her?"

That question made everyone stand on edge. "I-I'm not sure."

"Well, fat lot that'll help us. If you don't know she's dead then we have to assume Esdeath is still alive."

Natsu found that hard to believe. "What? No way! She couldn't survive an attack like that!"

"If she is alive, then she knows what you can do Wendy and your face. You'll probably be hunted down by Esdeath herself."

Hearing that made Erza realize a new problem. "If that's true, Esdeath now knows what Wendy can do now."

"Alright, alright, that's enough. So what if Wendy didn't kill Esdeath. That doesn't mean she didn't put the hurt on her. She was the Empire's strongest and Wendy here knocked her down her throne. That sends the message to them that someone out there is stronger than Esdeath and what's better than putting that kind of fear in them?"

"Leone is right. This is a major deal breaker. Esdeath's defeat must've dealt a big blow to the Empire's ego. Her being beaten proves that we still have a chance taking back the land."

"That's what I'm talking about! I say we have a big party to celebrate Wendy's return and Esdeath's defeat! What do you all say?!"

"Yeah!" The scene faded away.

Even though the ending was left on a good note, Natsu still had his doubts. "Come on, there's no way that Esdeath chick could come back after the hurt Wendy put on her."

Erza wanted to agree but remembered how Wendy acted before. "If that were true, she wouldn't have such a reaction from that small amount of time she'd spent with her. I'm afraid we haven't seen the last of her." Lucy really wasn't happy to hear that.

They arrived a different scene outside at night with Wendy with the other members of Night Raid with Akame and Mine in their pajamas for some reason. "Hey, Wendy! Glad to see you're alright."

Gray raised an eyebrow. "Who's the guy in the suit?"

"I'm thinking it's that Tatsumi guy." Lucy guessed.

"I'm glad to see all of you too. What's happening? Wait, is Miss Najenda back?"

Everyone saw a giant manta ray fly over them which freaked Lucy out a little. "What is that thing!?"

Happy was drooling at the sight of it. "It's a giant flying fish!"

"What is that thing!?" Wendy asked the same question.

"It's a danger beast called Air Manta. Don't worry. I think it's on our side."

"Ohh. That's pretty neat."

Suddenly, everyone saw countless people in masks and wearing very odd outfits. "What are they wearing?" Gray wondered.

"Damn it! Where do these bastards keep coming from?"

"This doesn't make sense. How did they get through without tripping any of my wires?"

"How did having a party lead to this?" Lucy asked. It seemed like a pretty bizarre transition to her.

Soon they saw Wendy fall down and most of the Night Raid members with only Tatsumi standing. "What the hell? I can't move my body."

"It must be some form of paralysis."

"Body Anomaly Reversal Magic! Raise!" Lucy and the others saw Wendy use her magic on everyone. "Anomaly Resistance Enchant! Re-Raise!"

Her magic had cured whatever the Night Raid members had and stood up again. Before any of them could make a move, something crashed in front of them. "Now what?" Lucy asked.

The dust cleared and saw someone new standing in front of them. "Who's this guy?" Gray wondered.

"All right then. Take them all out Susanoo!"

"Roger that."

Hearing his name rang a certain bell to Erza. "Susanoo?" She recalled Wendy mentioning someone called Mr. Su. "Could he be…" They saw him walk up to the strange group of intruders. "Is he going to take them on by himself?"

Everyone saw him take out a weapon with blades spinning around. What happened next was that he easily slaughtered them who attacked head on. Once again, they were seeing how the fighting worked in this world. then, all of a sudden, one of the killed intruder's body swelled and blew up with Susanoo nearby.

The whole thing was pretty shocking to them and saw the result of the blast. Half of Susanoo's body was gone. Lucy was horrified at the sight. "Is…is he…"

"Pretty much. No one could've survived that." Gray answered.

"I could. Not the first explosion I would eat." Natsu added.

To their surprise, they saw him stand up despite the large missing chunk of his body. "How he is still moving!?" Lucy was sure he was killed.

The surprises didn't stop there as they saw something move inside his body. He started to regrow his body back. Erza recognized what he was doing. "He's…regenerating?"

"Is that guy even human?" Gray had never seen anything like it before.

They witness Susanoo turn around and walk up to Wendy. Once he stood in front of her, he…straightened out her hair. "Fixed."

Lucy found that quite strange. "Why did he fixed her hair?"

Not long after that, they saw Susanoo run off by Najenda's orders. They saw the Air Manta land with Najenda on it along with one other person but couldn't tell who it was. Najenda ordered Mine to board and she did. The Air Manta took off to where Susanoo ran off.

They heard everyone's first impression of him. "Oh man, that guy is awesome!"

"Oh please. I could've done that too."

"Yeah, right Lubb. Thanks for helping us out earlier Wendy."

Before they could relax, they felt the ground shake all of sudden. The shaking made Lucy feel a little nervous. "Now what's going on?" Everyone then saw a giant of some kind rise out of the forest away from them. "What is that thing!?"

"What is that?!" Again, Wendy asked the same question.

"Nothing good."

"Strong or not, that guy needs our help. I'm going over there."

"Take me with you. I can take him out."

"I'll help too!"

Wendy used her Vernier spell on Tatsumi. "Thanks, Wendy!" He took off while carrying Akame.

The scene quickly changed and was following Akame and Tatsumi. Natsu was confused by the transition. "Hey, what gives? Wendy isn't with them."

"It's mine." They turned to see Akame, Leone, and Chelsea. "This is my memory. We did say all of you needed to know the full story."

All of them saw Tatsumi approached the giant and Akame tried to attack it using her sword but it had no effect. "Ha! The one kill sword can't kill me if it can't pierce my skin!"

Gray recognized the voice. "Hey, he's that scientist guy from before."

Lucy was surprised to hear that. "Seriously? He's that giant monster? How did he become that thing?"

Erza wondered something else. "More importantly, how did he find all of you?"

Leone shrugged at the question. "Beats me. We never did figure that out."

"How about this!?"

All of them saw Stylish being shot at by one of Mine's attacks from Pumpkin. "Why you little-" He was blasted by another shot and knocked him down. Tatsumi and Akame ran up the body to reach him. "Not so fast!" His attempt was foiled by Susanoo.

"I'm sure you can reach him from here! Go Akame!" Tatsumi threw Akame at Stylish.

"I'm not done yet!" He tried to attack Akame with cords but she evaded them all.

"It's over!" She cut Stylish with her sword as she passed them by.

"It can't be. I never pictured I would die this way. I thought it would be more…panache." His whole body fell down.

Tatsumi caught Akame and landed on the ground. "You're still fortunate…" Akame stood on the ground. "Since you were able to die quickly and easily."

Everyone went back to Wendy and the others who saw the whole thing from afar. "Wendy…I-"

"I know and I understand." The whole scene faded out once again.

Lucy sighed once it was over. "I didn't think it would get this crazy for her."

Gray thought the same. "No kidding."

Natsu could only laugh. "Wendy's been doing pretty good so far."

Erza wished she thought the same as him. "That may be true but we have a lot more to see." Everyone started to enter the scene.
